0:40
Speaker 3: I'm ready for the weekend already. It's like we weren't
0:43
here Monday. I was off the last three days of
0:46
the week before, and whenever I come back, it just
0:48
seems like it's busier than when.
0:50
Speaker 6: I left, which is uh, which is insane.
0:53
Speaker 3: Okay, So yesterday, we know we started the show with
0:56
Jordan's wardrobe mouthfunction. We all had a we ought to
0:59
go would laugh about it, and you know that's what
1:02
we do on OTV. We get to the bottom of things,
1:04
whether Jordan's wardrobe malfunction was intentional or not intentional. We
1:07
grilled him a little bit yesterday morning when Jake was
1:10
here before I went on vacation, we talked about the
1:13
guy who took a dump in the Guarantee parking lot.
1:15
Speaker 6: We wound up getting behind that as well.
1:18
Speaker 7: Brittany had to let me know that I walked right past. Yeah,
1:20
I didn't even know that.
1:22
Speaker 6: You saw it on the security camera.
1:25
Speaker 3: But today we have another case dissolve and this involves
1:30
our Jordan Kitchens. This is the car Key Caper case
1:34
and a Lauandra is actually indirectly involved in this story.
1:37
Speaker 6: She just doesn't know it yet. Jordan.
1:38
Speaker 2: Oh no, she knows. Okay, we had a whole Okay, no,
1:41
we had a whole. Uh you want to call it?
1:45
Speaker 6: Tell us what happened?
1:46
Speaker 3: Because you normally leave here like one thirty, because of
1:49
hitting of them are done it like once you're one thirty,
1:52
two o'clock. Yes, dude, it's three thirty, I'm leaving. You
1:55
were still sitting in your car in the rain. Okay,
1:58
give us a little what happened?
2:00
Speaker 7: Okay, all right, let me just let me just preface
2:02
this for everybody. Get a little bit to know a
2:05
little about me. I am a very meticulous person. Everything
2:08
I do makes sense. So I'm not the type of
2:10
person that I'm not. No, no, no, I'm not a
2:13
type of person where I'm like forgetting my keys or
2:16
leaving my wallet, especially because I have to travel for work,
2:19
so before I leave, I make sure I have everything
2:21
ready to go. That's that's numal un no number one.
2:24
So you know how to come in early for OTB yesterday.
2:26
So I guess I was just a little groggy or
2:28
whatever and just didn't hear my keys fall in the grass.
2:31
That's what it was. Because they fell in the grass.
2:33
They didn't fall it. If it hit the concrete, you know,
2:34
it probably made a noise. And oh you know I
2:37
dropped my keys or whatever. So you know, when hit
2:38
the grass silent like like a Native American walking on
2:41
leaves silent. So next thing, you know, I just I'm.
2:46
Speaker 2: Ready to leave.
2:46
Speaker 7: You know, I finished uploading live at lunch. I'll tap in.
2:49
I finish uploading live for lunch, and I and I'm
2:51
ready to get up out of here. And I hit
2:52
my pockets and I wear cargo pants and I keep
2:55
everything in my cargo pants. Pockets I'm hit my pockets.
2:57
I'm like, my wallet's here, where are my keys? So
3:02
red flag? Where are my keys? That's the US didn't happen.
3:05
I'll be checking it in my bag, not in my bag.
3:07
So I'm like, okay, cool, let me go. Because it's
3:09
only a certain amount of areas I went that morning
3:12
here my studio and for the meeting that you know,
3:15
on the fourth floor. So I hit all those spots
3:18
nowhere to be found. And so I remember, I will
3:20
go out there by you and I'm like just ripping
3:22
the deaths up and I'm like, dude.
3:24
Speaker 6: You were frantic.
3:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, cause it's like, well, my keys are going. I
3:30
live in New Orleans.
3:31
Speaker 7: We just stay the night on the counch man, please listen.
3:34
So I'm just I just cannot believe. I don't know
3:37
what my keys are. So I'm just looking around, looking around,
3:38
looking around. So I'll go outside where my car is,
3:41
and you know, they're doing a construction by the church,
3:44
and you know the construction guy he's sitting. You know,
3:46
it's a black guy. They were like smoking the Jael.
3:48
He's like, uh yeah, you're smoking the Joe. Real cool.
3:52
He's like, hey, this is your car. I'm like, yeah,
3:55
this is my car, you know, I'm over there. I'm
3:57
like because my door was un locked.
3:59
Speaker 2: Weird. So I'm like, you know, trying to see if
4:01
they stole something anything. Nothing.
4:03
Speaker 7: They didn't even touch the inside of my car, which
4:05
is weird. I ain't gonna say too much. I got
4:07
items in there that you know, if you wanted to
4:08
steal it, you could have stolen. So I'm looking around
4:12
and dudes like, yeah, man, this this lady. She had
4:14
your keys man, blah blah blah. She was looking for you.
4:18
But I'm like, well, does she leave a name? What
4:19
did she look like? He's like, yeah, it was this
4:21
a little black lady. Keep this in mind, we're in
4:25
South Louisiana. We're in Batton Rugseley, and this is not Wisconsin.
4:30
This is not uh North Dakota. This is not South Dakota.
4:33
It's black. It's black people every corner. Like So, if
4:36
you're gonna give me a description of a little black
4:38
lady by a Baptist church, that is that is like
4:41
what That's like going to an EDM concert and be like,
4:45
hey man, there's somebody here with drugs. Everybody here has drugs,
4:48
like it doesn't matter. You're gonna you can't give me
4:49
that description. So now I'm like, I'm now I'm really
4:54
tripping because the stories or was like, yeah, lady's looking.
4:57
Speaker 2: For your keys.
4:58
Speaker 7: She went over there, she gave your keys over there.
5:00
So I go to our you know, I go back
5:01
across the street to guarantee. I go in there. I
5:04
go to Lady Jag matter of fact, because I'm like, well,
5:06
if anybody were gonna turn something in, she's gonna be
5:08
the first one with it. So I go to her
5:10
and I'm like, Lady Jack, you know, I'm looking at
5:12
anybody turns some keys in. She pulls out like a
5:15
Janitor ring of keys, like, yeah, somebody turned these in.
5:17
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, what I'm gonna do with Janitor keys?
5:20
These ain't These ain't my keys.
5:22
Speaker 7: And so I'm like talking to myself going to the elevator,
5:24
and I hear Landja in the office. She's like, uh,
5:27
She's like, are you good? What's going on? I'm like, dude,
5:29
I don't know what my keys are. Like, somebody stole
5:31
my keys. Go back upstairs. I'm like, Taylor, they're gone.
5:34
Somebody stole them. It's like, bro, nobody stole your keys? Manbody,
5:37
what are you talking about?
5:38
Speaker 3: Because Jordan, when I was trying to explain to you, dude,
5:40
no one stole your keys. If your car is still here,
5:44
was still to steal keys, you would have to take
5:46
the vehicle exactly.
5:48
Speaker 2: So that's why I was so irate a little bit.
5:51
Speaker 7: It's because so you take my you take the keys, lady,
5:54
you don't take nothing out of the car. I think
5:56
in my mind she was waiting till you know, like
5:58
eight nine o'clock, come back around car. I'm still there.
6:00
Now I'm about to get up in that thing. I'm
6:01
out of there. So I'm like losing my mind at
6:04
this point because they talking about that. Like I said,
6:08
the description is this little black lady which the keys.
6:10
She came to the office, so Elanza tells me, like,
6:13
oh no, she did come over there. So the stories
6:15
now the stories make sense. She did go there, but
6:18
she didn't give up my keys.
6:19
Speaker 5: She's been super weird thou.
6:20
Speaker 6: So, so that's the thing.
6:21
Speaker 3: Like she she took the time to go to the
6:23
church as if it belonged to them in there, yes,
6:25
and then they said, hey, it probably belongs across the street.
6:27
Speaker 6: She comes in there, but then just leaves with the.
6:29
Speaker 2: Keys, leaves with the key, don't even leave a name.
6:32
Speaker 3: So why the hell did she waste her time walking
6:34
to two different buildings?
6:35
Speaker 2: Nicely?
6:35
Speaker 7: Why I'm pissed? Well, I can't know what I said
6:37
on on the RADI yeah, and I see why I
6:38
was mad. It's because, like, so, you didn't leave a
6:41
name a number, like, okay, well if he does show up,
6:44
here's how you can get in contact with me, here's whatever.
6:47
So she didn't get the keys up, but she did
6:49
come over here, you know, be like, all right, somebody
6:51
lost their keys. So this is so, this is some
6:53
random lady with my keys, right, And at this point
6:58
you didn't even know about this. Taylor saw.
7:00
Speaker 2: I see a black lady with some red keys. You know,
7:02
my keys. I have like a little red Nike tag
7:05
on my keys.
7:06
Speaker 7: Oh.
7:06
Speaker 2: I ran at her, ran up full sprint.
7:09
Speaker 3: She's like, oh my god, what else do you do?
7:13
Speaker 2: A man? At that point I ran, I'm like, oh
7:15
my du are my keys? Those are my keys?
7:16
Speaker 7: Find out the red thing or her keys was like
7:18
a bottle opener or something like that. So it wasn't
7:20
even because it wasn't even that. And then so I'm like,
7:24
I'm just extremely iron and this it's scary because there
7:28
is this lady lurking around in this area with the
7:31
extra key to my car, just waiting, just waiting, Like
7:35
I can't even park back there no more because I
7:36
just know once she might just come back around and
7:38
go hoping that thing.
7:39
Speaker 2: So, to make.
7:41
Speaker 7: A long story short, my sister had to come through,
7:44
bring me the extra uh, bring me the extra key.
7:46
You know, so very grateful to have people in your
7:49
life that can sit there and do that for you.
7:51
But in the moment, especially once when Elijah came with
7:55
her side of the story about Leno, like this lady
7:57
does exist. She did pull up, but she didn't give
8:00
up the keys. That just made it worse because it's like,
8:02
what logical sense does.
8:04
Speaker 6: That make, Jordan.
8:05
Speaker 3: I'm not saying then I hope this happens. All I'm
8:07
saying is it would be funny. You walk out there
8:09
and you're like, yep, she came back vehicle gone.
8:11
Speaker 7: Oh no, oh see I parked in front of the
8:13
station today. Oh come try these cameras. Oh we waiting
8:16
on you, We waiting on you, were waiting on you.
8:18
Speaker 3: Hey, the cameras have already caught someone in. We got
8:21
her too. Okay, but do you feel a little bit
8:25
better at least because yesterday you were running around frantic saying,
8:30
I don't know who somebody stole my keys. They were
8:32
right here in my pocket them.
8:35
Speaker 6: Okay.
8:35
Speaker 3: But I was like, Jordan, like nobody reached into your
8:37
pocket without you noticing, pulling out the keys, leaving the
8:40
wallet and all of that. Like, and I have you know,
8:44
I went on a little wild goose chase for you.
8:46
Speaker 6: I went in all these studios behind you.
8:48
Speaker 3: I went into the podcast studio, the brand new one.
8:52
Speaker 6: I tell you what. I even did.
8:53
Speaker 3: I even shine my light in that little hole in
8:55
the floor in the second floor studiocause I was like, oh,
8:58
if they fell out of his pocket, maybe they've fell
9:00
in there.
9:00
Speaker 6: Nothing.
9:01
Speaker 7: But I knew you was doing that because you saw me.
9:03
I was talking to one of the guys.
9:04
Speaker 6: Because I was about to leave, and I'm like, that's raining.
9:07
I was like, can I hold off anyway? I ain't
9:10
getting no nelsony.
9:11
Speaker 7: About to say the little dude that I was talking to,
9:13
That's why when we turned around and looked at you
9:14
in the stairwell, He's.
9:15
Speaker 2: Like, you know that guy.
9:16
Speaker 7: Oh my yead, that's my boy tailor he looking for
9:17
my keys. I just knew you was looking for him.
9:19
But now, like I said, I just appreciate the effort.
9:22
You know, people, even though this lady's walking around and honestly,
9:25
I'll be honest with you guys right now, if I
9:27
do see her, she's getting RKO like Randy Orton Prime,
9:30
Randy Ordon arc.
9:31
Speaker 6: So what you say it is if you don't chow
9:33
up tomorrow and I have to do live at launch
9:35
it just because you are in jail. He actually, we
9:40
don't know if she's old.
9:41
Speaker 7: I'm about to say this is retaliation, all right? Are
9:44
You're just not gonna just run off of my keys
9:45
and act like, oh, you know, I tried to give
9:48
him away. I tried to give him back. You didn't
9:50
try to do anything, lady.
9:51
Speaker 5: She really didn't.
9:52
Speaker 4: Exactly, she really did not like she was being super weird.
9:57
She I was walking by the door and she like
10:00
comes up knocking to it. Not even lady jack store,
10:02
like the side door that I come in through, and
10:07
so I just like opened it and she's like, does
10:10
anybody own that car back there? And I'm like, well,
10:12
I'm sure someone does I don't know who, Like, I
10:15
don't know what Jordan drives, Like, I don't know what
10:18
anybody here drives. And like you said, there's people at
10:23
the church, there's construction people in and out of guarantee whatever.
10:25
And then she's like, oh, well, uh they drop something
10:30
and I have it. And I was like okay, well
10:32
like what or I was like, well, what do you need?
10:34
And she was like, they drop something and I haven't.
10:36
I was like, well, what is it? And she's like, well,
10:38
I'm not gonna give it to you or tell you
10:39
if if it doesn't belong to anybody.
10:41
Speaker 6: Here, that's weird, weird, Jordan.
10:45
Speaker 3: We have to find like, you need one of those checking.
10:47
I want to know where the hell your keys are?
10:48
Does she still have them? Did she just go turn
10:50
them into b RP?
10:52
Speaker 2: Literally walking around?
10:53
Speaker 7: I swear, I know this lady is waiting for me
10:56
to go park back there again. And while I'm in here,
10:59
she's gonna go I I told you, I have every
11:02
construction guy over there. They don't stand by. They're like, hey, man,
11:04
we see your keys were getting there?
11:06
Speaker 3: Like no, honestly, ready, in a situation like this, structured
11:10
workers are really good people.
11:12
Speaker 2: They were super chick.
11:12
Speaker 6: Don't play around.
11:13
Speaker 2: Oh, they don't play.
11:14
Speaker 7: They don't play especially because there was like, that's on me, man,
11:16
I should have made her give us the keys man
11:18
because she did come in there and ask about the
11:20
keys man and matter of fact, she was acting weird.
11:22
And that's when Elijah said the same thing that she
11:24
was acting weird. So that's why all the stories added up.
11:27
It wasn't like I got this sword this story over here.
11:30
I got this story over here. Know, everybody had the
11:32
same exact story about this lady. Honestly, Elija, be honest,
11:36
she probably wanted some type of money reward.
11:38
Speaker 2: That's why her. Yeah, She's like, oh that's why. Yeah. Man,
11:43
So it is what it is.
11:46
Speaker 1: Man.
11:46
Speaker 7: Just you just all you gotta do is just be
11:47
grateful you have people in your life that can help
11:50
you out in a time of need.
11:51
Speaker 8: Well.
11:51
Speaker 6: I appreciate that wild start to the show.
11:53
Speaker 3: I am still trying to figure out what the hell's
11:55
going on with these crowns and numbers in the YouTube chat.
11:58
I have never seen it before my life. Brian Burgess
12:01
is number one. You got a handful of twos, a
12:04
handful of threes. Daniel Basham and Daniel Blunt have nothing
12:06
next to their names, which is really funny because they're
12:09
probably in here the most. I don't know what these
12:11
crowns mean. Trying to do some digging, trying to search,
12:14
try to figure out what it is. I don't know, Jordan,
12:18
I emailed you a picture before the show. Yes, we're
12:20
about to go to break but before we do, I
12:22

14:31
over two.
14:34
Speaker 6: Dead to me. Saw him yesterday. He actually he actually
14:37
gave me a little gift.
14:38
Speaker 2: Uh here.

Speaker 3: We'll get into this a little bit later. It's uh
14:43

14:46

14:49
Speaker 6: I had it at the desk. I left. I just
14:51
left it here. Oh it was just it was sitting
14:53
at the desk. Anyways.
14:56
Speaker 3: Will Rosenblade of l s U Wire yesterday decided he
14:59
was going to rank every op offensive line in the SEC,
15:01
and he preferences this by saying, I have considered returning production,
15:05
talent level, and coaching to try and assess which units
15:08
are in the best position entering twenty twenty five. Now
15:11
we ranked all sixteen in the conference. I'm not going
15:13
to get into all of them, but at number six overall,
15:17
he's the LSU typees and you know that's a big
15:20
question mark. Probably the biggest question mark on this team
15:22
heading into this season is the offensive line, and he
15:25
has them six out of sixteen SEC teams. He does
15:29
mention that they're one of the tougher teams to rank
15:31
on this list because they lost four NFL draft picks.
15:36
But I wanted to kind of look at what you
15:38
lost what you return as far as guys that were
15:41
on the roster last year, which freshmen are coming in,
15:44
and the transfers that you added is six too high
15:48
for LSU. There's talent, but a lot of it is unproven.
15:52
Here's what you lost, Will Campbell, Garrett Dellinger, Miles Frasier,
15:56
Emrie Jones. All four multi year starters on your offensive line.
15:59
Your two gods and your two tackles. That's a ton
16:04
of production, especially with Campbell and Jones, who have been
16:06
three year starters in this program essentially since the day
16:09
they got on campus. I mean, Will Campbell was a
16:11
day one starter. Jones not a day one, but I
16:14
mean what third or fourth game into his freshman year
16:17
he grabbed that right tackle spot.
16:19
Speaker 6: Never let it go for three years.
16:20
Speaker 3: So for all purposes, we'll just say full three year
16:24
starters for both of those guys. Dellinger, Fraser, if you remember,
16:29
Fraser came in after playing his first season out in Florida.
16:34
He comes in, He's a multi year starter here. Garrett
16:36
Dellinger came in as a five star. He was a
16:38
three year starter here. I mean, just so much talent
16:40
and experience between those four guys, what do you return?
16:44
Dj Chester is back. He's the only returning starter from
16:47
last year's offensive line. But the word is DJ Chester
16:51
might not even play center by all accounts of you
16:55
know what the rotation looked like during spring practice. All
16:57
the reports coming out of camp was that they'd like
17:00
to move him to guard. However, he still cross trained
17:03
guard and center. So you have Chester back. He's your
17:06
only full time returning starter. Now Paul Mabingo returns to guard.
17:10
He played the last four games of the season. If
17:12
you remember, Dellinger goes down in the A and M game,
17:16
Mabinga slides in. Then he plays Alabama Vanderbilt Oklahoma, and
17:20
then of course the bowl game. Mabinga struggled at times, obviously.
17:24
I mean, look at Kyle Field in College. Station is
17:28
a tough place to be thrown in the fire for
17:30
your first game, and he looked bad the first two games.
17:33
But if you go look at his PFF grade and
17:35
how he graded out as an offensive lineman, every single
17:38
game he got a little bit better. I think Paul
17:41
Mabinga showed some promise at the end of the year.
17:44
You obviously have Tyrie Adams back. He played a good
17:47
bit at left tackle whenever Campbell needed a breather or
17:50
in that Bowl game. Tyri Adams has played a lot
17:52
of football for He's played some guard as well. If
17:54
you remember before the season, Tyriy Adams went down and
17:57
Kelly talked about how big of a blow it was
17:59
until he got back, because he said, Tyriy Adams is
18:01
essentially our sixth man, whether it's guard or tackle. Tyree
18:04
Adams is going to come in. We'll shuffle the offensive
18:06
line if we need to. So they clearly like what
18:10
they have in a guy like Tyrie Adams. Ye also
18:13
overturned bow bored Alawn. He can play guard, he can
18:15
play tackle. He was uses your big tight end a
18:17
lot last year, so I'm wearing number eighty nine out
18:19
there a lot. Orie Williams is back Weston Davis, who
18:24
was competing for that starting spot at right tackle.
18:27
Speaker 6: Cohen Ackles.
18:28
Speaker 3: He's a guy that when you signed him, was a
18:31
little bit under size, maybe a little bit under recruited,
18:34
but they really like his potential in the future as
18:38
a possible center on this team. She do have talent
18:41
coming back, and just outside of dj Chester, very limited
18:44
experience as far as starting goes. Now, you did a
18:47
good job in the transfer portal Braylon Moore and Josh Thompson.
18:51
Braylon Moore, obviously one of the highest rated offensive lineman
18:55
in the transfer portal, was a multi year starter at
18:58
center at Virginia Tech. When he came in a lot
19:00
of people said, hey, he's the day one starting center.
19:03
But if you go back and look at spring practice,
19:05
they're making him earn it. DJ Chester was getting first
19:07
team reps. Then they would move Chester to guard. Mo
19:09
Moreward slide in there to center. I think in a
19:13
perfect world and what the coaches would prefer, this is
19:16
just entirely my opinion, Braylan Moore would be the starting center.
19:20
DJ Chester would take over at one of those two
19:22
guard spots because you have the most experienced that way, right,
19:27
Because Chester's played a ton. His natural position when he
19:30
came to LSU was a guard. Anyways, he kind of
19:32
played center out of necessity. Then you have Braylan Moore
19:35
who can step in there be a starting center, has
19:37
played center at a high level at a power for
19:39
program at Virginia Tech. That's really good veteran presence right
19:44
there in the middle. Did you bring in Josh Thompson
19:47
from Northwestern? You could play guard, he could play tackle.
19:50
Most like him at guard, I said a little bit earlier,
19:53
when spring practice was going on, I might prefer him
19:56
at tackle. We'll get into what the starting offensive line
20:00
may look like here in a minute. But Braila Moore,
20:01
Josh Thompson, both of those guys I expect to start
20:04
on this offensive line.
20:07
Speaker 6: Now, as far as.
20:07
Speaker 3: Freshmen go, you brought in two big ones. Solomon Thomas
20:10
carryus Current, both highly highly recruited guys. Kerrent reportedly can
20:14
play guard or tackle, and then Solomon Thomas just a
20:17
big guy right there in the middle. He is likely
20:20
a guard at the next level. And then you signed
20:22
Tyler Miller as well, who is also a freshman on
20:25
this offensive line. So what will the starting rotation on
20:29
this offensive line look like. I think Tyree Adams has
20:33
locked up the left tackle position, because if you go
20:35
back in the spring and you look at the offensive
20:37
line rotations, the one constant on that first string offensive
20:42
line with Tyree Adams at left tackle, you moved around
20:45
her guards a little bit.
20:46
Speaker 6: Right tackle has been a battle. We'll get into that
20:48
in a minute.
20:48
Speaker 3: Obviously, Chester and more kind of seeing who's gonna play guard,
20:52
who's gonna play center. But Tyree Adams was the was
20:55
the constant. He was the steady presence on that offensive
20:58
line in the spring. I think Tyrietdams since your left tackle,
21:00
no question about it, barring some sort of injury or
21:03
something unforeseen before the season starts. Now guard, I would
21:08
like to see Paul Mabinga, because again I thought he
21:11
improved a lot from his first start to his last
21:14
start in that Bowl game. But what if it is
21:19
DJ Chester. Let's say DJ Chester takes over left guard.
21:23
That puts Braylon Moore at center. So now you have
21:25
Tyree Adams, who the coaching staff loves, they've seen him play.
21:27
DJ Chester's played a ton of football on this team.
21:30
Braylan Moore comes in as one of your most experienced
21:32
guys transfer or returners at the other guard spot. See
21:39
I originally thought it was going to Bembingo on one side,
21:41
Chester on the other.
21:42
Speaker 6: I'd have been good with that.
21:43
Speaker 3: Have Josh Thompson at right tackle because he's played guard
21:46
and tackle, but they really really like Weston Davis at
21:50
right tackle, and that's a guy that was taking the
21:53
majority of the first team reps during spring. Again, I
21:55
thought it was going to be Thompson, But let's say
21:58
it's Weston Davis at right time tackle. Josh Thompson sides
22:01
in their right guard. So from left to right in
22:04
this situation, it would be Tyree Adams, dj Chester, Prayland Moore,
22:09
Josh Thompson, west and Davis, Paul Mabinga kind of becomes
22:11
a swing guard along with the Cohen eckles, along with
22:15
the bowboard alone, and then Salomon Thomas Carries, Kerrent Dull
22:19
earned their spots as they progress through their college career.
22:21
Speaker 6: But that's kind of the starting ode line right now.
22:25
Speaker 3: The reason I wanted Josh Thompson had right tackles because
22:28
west and Davis was a highly recruited guy coming out
22:30
of high school hasn't played a ton of college football.
22:35
Now a lot will say, Okay, we have an inexperienced
22:38
guy at left tackle, you have an inexperienced guy at
22:40
right tackles. Sometimes that's a recipe for disaster, sure, but
22:42
sometimes it's not. I just mentioned Will Campbell and I
22:45
Marie Jones. They both came in. They earned starting spots
22:47
at the two tackle spots. As freshmen boom. You had
22:50
your book ND Tackles for the next three years. But
22:53
how often does that happen? But if this coaching staff
22:57
and Brad Davis, who I trust them mentally, thinks that
22:59
it's Weston Davis, keep in mind, even though this would
23:02
be Davis' first year starting, he's been in the program
23:03
multiple years now. You can bring into Josh Thompson and
23:06
if things get harry, you can always move Thompson back
23:09
out to tackle, put in paumbinga guard. But kind of
23:12
the lineup you've been seeing is Tyree Adams, d J Chester,
23:16
Braylan Moore, Josh Thompson, Weston Davis.
23:21
Speaker 6: That's kind of been the group that we've been seeing.
23:22
Speaker 3: And again that can flip flop because Chester and Moore
23:25
can flip flop. Thompson could move out to guard Mabingas
23:28
Thomas can move from tackle to guard, and Mabinga could
23:29
slide in their guard. Not only did you do a
23:32
good job of adding veteran presence with Moore and Thompson,
23:36
think you did a good job in high school recruiting.
23:38
I mentioned Solomon Thomas and Carrius Kern.
23:40
Speaker 6: You also have some depth.
23:42
Speaker 3: Ory Williams is a guy that they like. Cohen Eckles,
23:45
we talked about him. I think he'll be the backup center.
23:48
Solomon Thomas, Carrius Kern, Paul Mbinga bow bort A line.
23:52
I mean that's six guys I just mentioned that could
23:54
possibly be rotational pieces on this offensive line. So while
23:57
there's not a ton of returning production and a ton
24:00
of returning starting experience, I think there's talent on this
24:04
offensive line, and if they get the starting rotation right,
24:07
there's a lot of depth theory as well. There's a
24:09
lot of versatility. Again because of DJ Chester and Josh Thompson.
24:12
I think those two guys are the key to this
24:14
offensive line. So your rotation that'll take shape, that'll form
24:19
more organically when you get into fall camp, he'll get
24:21
a clearer picture on that. But whether it's Thompson at
24:24
guarter tackle, Chester at garter center, Mabinga as a starter
24:29
or a rotational piece of guard, you have a lot
24:32
of options, and I think you have a lot of
24:33
talent on this offensive line. That of course, is the
24:36
biggest question mark for this team headed into twenty twenty five.
24:39
You got the running back in Caden Durham, Garrett Nelsmeyer's
24:41
coming back as his second year in this program as
24:44
a starter. He looks to be one of the best
24:46
quarterbacks in college football. And we know about all the
24:48
weapons you got on the outside at tight end and
24:50
wide receiver. Your pass catchers are elite. This offense will
24:54
go as the offensive line goes. We'll see how it
24:56
plays out as we get closer to fall camp. All right,
24:58
we're going to take a quick time out. We get back,
25:00
go to talk a little Lashoe baseball on the other side.
25:03
That's coming up here on off the bench, offter bench.
25:07
Speaker 2: Central Plumbing dot org.
25:08

25:36
The fleet is ready to go and ready to help

if you want to go tankless. With a tankless water heater,
25:42
obviously you never run out of hot water, which is
25:45
just a huge benefit of you got a big family
25:47
like me. You're getting home late, you got dishes, laundry, showers, whatever.
25:50
Speaker 2: You never run out.
25:51
Speaker 8: You don't have to wait, you don't have to try
25:53
to save that hot water, because again, tankless, never going

26:03
Speaker 1: This is off the bench.
26:24
Speaker 6: Mm hm, you were my son, you love.
26:35
Speaker 7: You didn't know all the ways I love you, so
26:41
he took a chance.
26:45
Speaker 6: I love it. Cheering.
26:48
Speaker 7: Oh, I'm sorry, this is justin timal I know, because didn't.
26:57
I couldn't even tell you what cheering song. But I
27:00
can tell what he looked like. I know what he
27:01
looks like.
27:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all. That's well, that's acceptable. Okay, Look, we
27:06
want to talk a little lshue baseball here. I had
27:09
Doug Thompson on yesterday when I asked him, you know,
27:12
kind of a broad breakdown of this Beton Rouge regional
27:16
coming up this weekend. Doug brought up something that I
27:18
hadn't heard mentioned yet, but since he mentioned it, I
27:21
have seen it probably two or three times yesterday, and
27:23
I want to give my thoughts on it because I
27:25
actually disagree. So Doug was saying that he believes there's
27:29
a fifty to fifty chance LSU can pitch off, meaning
27:32
they will not throw Kate Anderson game one, they would
27:35
save him from maybe game two and then have Anderson
27:38
Ayenson back to back.
27:40
Speaker 6: I don't think that will happen.
27:43
Speaker 3: Here's why, because Jay one really likes to keep his
27:46
guys in a rhythm. He doesn't like to change days
27:49
on pitchers. And there was talk about this back in
27:53
the twenty twenty three regional. If you remember LS she
27:57
was the host site two lane was the four seed
27:59
or in state really tough program was the two seat.
28:03
Everyone questioned, Hey, is Paul Sken's going to Are you
28:05
going to pitch off to Tulane throw a lesser arm,
28:08
throw your ace against Oregon State? Jay didn't do that.
28:12
Now a lot of people criticize that decision for Jay
28:15
not throwing skeins. The Tigers won two straight against Oregon State,
28:18
they swept that regional, they moved on ultimately won the
28:20
national Championship, it didn't matter. So not only do we
28:23
have a blueprint of it working out for Jay Johnson,
28:26
but we have a blueprint of what Jay is going
28:28
to do. Elandra, Do you think there is any sort
28:33
of possibility LSU pitches off against Little Rock?
28:38
Speaker 5: History has shown that.
28:39
Speaker 6: No.
28:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean with Jay, you never know, but
28:43
I'm pretty confident that he'll probably pitch Kate Anderson against
28:47
Little Rock tomorrow.
28:48
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm with you.
28:49
Speaker 3: And because you and I have talked about this the
28:51
last couple of weeks, everyone says, Okay, well, you gotta
28:53
throw Kate Anderson.
28:54
Speaker 6: He's your ace.
28:54
Speaker 3: As far as I'm concerned, Kate Anderson and Anthony Jasin
28:57
are one A and one B. I mean, they're they're
28:59
they're what what to me? At this point, they've both
29:01
been that dominant. So do I care if it's Kate
29:03
Anderson or Anthony Iinson in game two? Nope, I don't.
29:06
I think they're going to keep the rotation exactly like
29:09
they have. Also, I've seen the questions of Okay, well
29:13
it's Dallas Baptist going to pitch off. No, Dallas Baptist
29:16
is not going to pitch off for two reasons. One,
29:19
Rhode Island can really hit the ball. I mean they
29:21
hit I think it's like three eight, three oh nine
29:23
as a team on the season, like Rhode Island can
29:26
swing it. And Rhode Island's ace is actually pretty good
29:29
in his own right. So I think Dallas Baptist's best
29:32
is going to go up against the ace and Rhode Island.
29:34
I think it'd be stupid for Dallas Baptists to do
29:36
anything otherwise. Also, going back to the Lshue factor in
29:41
all this little Rockets throwing their ace, coach Chris Curry
29:46
was on with Matt Moscona back on Tuesday and he said,
29:50
that's the worst kept secret that we are throwing Jackson
29:52
Wells against LSU. That's our ace, that's our guy. Jackson
29:56
Wells is not a normal small school arm. Now when
29:59
you go look at his you'll say, okay, well, he's
30:01
three and six on the year, he has a five
30:02
to two four ERA in fifteen games. He does, but
30:07
you know he's he's he's dealt with a little nagging
30:09
injury at times this year. But you go look at
30:13
his strikeout to walk numbers, ninety strikeouts to thirty two walks.
30:17
Speaker 6: So still pretty solid there. Now.
30:19
Speaker 3: He's allowing a lot of hits, but only seven home
30:23
runs given up all year long, so he's still a
30:26
really solid pitcher. You can go looking, zoh, he has
30:28
a five point two four ERA. Yeah, I don't. I
30:30
don't really care about that. His strikeout to walk numbers
30:32
are really good. He has a high strikeout number and
30:35
he doesn't give up a lot of big home runs.
30:37
Speaker 6: He's a good pitcher.
30:39
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty three, I don't know how many of
30:42
you remember this, but Paul Skeins finished that twenty twenty
30:44
three baseball season with the second best ERA in all
30:48
of college baseball, and it was incredible. It was one
30:51
point sixty nine. Do you know who was first in
30:55
twenty twenty three? It was Jackson Wells two years ago,
30:59
Jackson Wells one point six y five er.
31:02
Speaker 6: Now, I get it, that was two years ago.
31:04
Speaker 3: But Jackson Wells has more strikeouts this year than he
31:06
did that year, and that was in ninety three innings.
31:09
In twenty twenty three, he's thrown seventy nine innings this year.
31:12
He has ten more strikeouts than he had in twenty
31:14
twenty three. So the era is not there, but the
31:16
strikeout numbers are up. Jackson Wells is not your normal
31:20
small school, aren't. He can really throw the ball. I
31:23
don't think there's any question what Jay Johnson is going
31:26
to do in this region, because again we've seen the
31:30
blueprint with it with Paul Skens. He threw him against
31:32
Tulane a Glandrovigion. You never quite know what Jay is
31:35
going to do. But Jay is also a guy of
31:38
habit right. He likes to keep his pictures in a rhythm.
31:41
So I'm with her. Is where it's like, you don't
31:43
know one hundred percent, but I am pretty confident. I
31:46
am almost certain that Jay Johnson is not going to
31:48
switch up this pitching irritation. Because if you throw Kate
31:51
Anderson and you win, which I expect both of those
31:55
things to happen, you will play the winner of Dallas
31:59
Baptist Roade Island. Let's say, let's say everything's chalk and
32:03
it's Dallas Baptist beat Rode Island.
32:05
Speaker 6: LSU beats a little rock. The one and two seeds
32:07
move on.
32:10
Speaker 3: Your number two starter should be a hell of a
32:13
lot better than the number two starter at Dallas Baptist
32:15
because you have a guy in Anthony Jonson, who on
32:18
the majority of teams in College of Baseball would be
32:21
the Friday night guy, would be considered the ace of
32:24
the staff. So I would give advantage Tigers in Game
32:27
two over Dallas Baptist. And you win that game, you
32:31
only got to win one more. You're sitting pretty. You
32:33
can piece that last game together if you want. You
32:35
can throw Jaden Nute, you can throw Case and Evans,
32:38
you can throw Connor where you can piece that thing
32:40
together and get that done. I don't think there's any
32:44
question about who he's going to throw game one, why
32:49
he's going to do what he is. But going back
32:52
to game three, we know it's Kate Anderson game one,
32:57
we know it's going to be Anthony Ions in game two.
33:00
We have set up here me elandre J when t
33:02
Bob wazir him as well and talked about you gotta
33:06
find maybe a third and fourth arm, not go six
33:09
seven innings, but a guy that can maybe go four
33:12
for you can start a game for you. Do you
33:14
feel confident you can win with because you're going to
33:16
need that when you get into postseason and you're really
33:19
going to need it if you make it to O Mahu.
33:22
They've tinkered with it a little bit since taken Chase
33:24
Shores out. Cason Evans got a few starts. We saw
33:28
Jade Nu get a start in the SEC tournament. Connor
33:31
Ware has gotten some starts in midweek, like they they've
33:34
they've kind of tinkered with a lot of different guys.
33:38
Speaker 6: A Landra, who would you throw.
33:40
Speaker 3: Let's say you win game one and two, you only
33:43
need one more win to move on, and you use
33:47
you already use that cow when he's out, you use
33:49
him out of the bullpen. Who's the game three starter?
33:52
Like if you had to pick today Anderson Iansen?
33:55
Speaker 5: Who so like where he used Anderson?
33:58
Speaker 6: And I am you're in game three, but a two
34:01
game lead, you just need one win.
34:02
Speaker 4: I liked in the tournament when we used Newt and
34:05
then Chase Shores came out, and then if we haven't
34:08
used case and Evans, we can.
34:09
Speaker 2: Yeah.
34:10
Speaker 5: I think we can get enough out of.
34:11
Speaker 4: New Shores to maybe go to Caseon Evans to close
34:16
it out.
34:16
Speaker 5: But if you need somebody in the interim, there's plenty
34:20
of people to go to.
34:21
Speaker 6: Yeah.
34:21
Speaker 3: We talked about this YO yesterday with the with the
34:23
depth of the bullpen, right, I agree. I Jaden Knut
34:26
might be my first option, and I'm with you about
34:30
the Newt to Shores combination because I just think Chase
34:33
Shores right now is a lot better out of the
34:34
bullpen than he was as a starter. Some people are
34:37
like that. Remember when Zach Kess was here as a freshmen,
34:40
he was a dominant closer. You tried to make him
34:42
a starter the next year. It just didn't work out.
34:44
Once you moved him back into the bullpen, he was
34:47
dominant once again. I just think right now Shores is
34:49
better out of the bullpen than he is as a starter.
34:51
Jade Nut's proven that he can kind of do both.
34:54
Cason Evans has proven that he can kind of do both.
34:57
So you may have found a third and even a
35:00
fourth starter that again aren't going to go six seven innings,
35:04
but can go three to four innings for you. In
35:06
Jaden Nude in case of Evans, you're going to need that.
35:09
That's going to be big time when you show up
35:12
in Omaha if you happen to make a domol, which
35:15
I think this LSU team has a good chance in doing.
35:18
We've talked all week long about how favor of a
35:21
draw they have with Dallas, Baptist, Rhode Island, and Little
35:25
Rock in the regional and then you're paired with the
35:27
Clemson Regional. So it's Clemson, West Virginia, and Kentucky and Andre,
35:33
you and I were actually talking about West Virginia the
35:34
other day, and you know, looking at their overall record,
35:37
I didn't realize this. Pretty much every time this season
35:40
West Virginia has played a top thirty RPI team, they've lost.
35:44
So that record as a hole is really good, but
35:47
the record against good teams it's not there. So there's
35:51
a chance because like you and I were talking, oh yeah,
35:53
if it's not Clemson, like it could be West Virginia,
35:56
keep and eye on that. I think Clemson might actually
35:58
be in the driver's seat right now. But if Kentucky
36:01
gets hot, that's a team that not that I don't
36:04
want to see.
36:05
Speaker 6: But like the small ball you to death they bought.
36:08
Speaker 3: They're good at advancing runners, at manufacturing runs, and Nick
36:11
Manngeon is a really good baseball coach. Watch out for
36:14
the Kentucky Wildcats because I was kind of looking at
36:16
this as a as a two headed race between Clemson
36:19
and West Virginia. But when you go look at West
36:21
Virginia against top thirty RPI teams. It's not great when
36:24
they have a good record overall and in the Big twelve,
36:27
but when they play those elite programs, they've come up
36:30
just a little bit short. That's something to keep an
36:33
eye on. But going back to the original dolt, I
36:35
don't think Jay Johnson pitches off. I think it's anderson
36:39
ianson to be determined in game three and game four
36:42
if necessary. We'll get to that when we get there.
36:45
We're going to take a quick time out. We get back,
36:47
we're wrapping up our number one. Then an hour number two.
36:51
Jacob Pastor in Destin for SEC spring meetings. We're gonna
36:54

36:57

Speaker 3: Welcome back in final segment, hour number one. Here on
38:39
a Thursday edition of Off the Bench, Taylor Shoppy with
38:44
you sitting in for Jacob Ester one more day.
38:46
Speaker 6: Our guy will be back tomorrow. He has been at
38:48
SEC spring.
38:49
Speaker 3: Meetings all week long, and he actually sent us back
38:53
a couple of l s U interviews. Yesterday was l
38:55
s U day over there at SEC spring meetings. So
38:58
we're gonna hear from coach Kim Mulky at eight am.
39:01
This is an interview that Jake did with her yesterday,
39:03
and then at eight thirty we're going to here from
39:05
LSU head coach Brian Kelly.
39:07
Speaker 6: Look, there has been a ton of debate.
39:09
Speaker 3: I mean, you've heard the Greg Sinki sound bites at
39:11
nauseum at this point about what he thinks about the
39:13
sixteen team playoff, whether or not the SEC should even
39:16
be in the NCAA. Why three three loss teams got
39:20
left out even though two of them be Georgia broke
39:22
that down yesterday. How about don't lose to crappy teams.
39:24
That's a good way to uh not get left out
39:27
of the college football playoff. But this segment I got
39:31
T Bob Abear was actually in the building yesterday, ran
39:35
into him as I was leaving, So it's really funny.
39:38
Right after the show, now Landra is carrying these what
39:41
looked to be really heavy packages up to T Bob's office.
39:45
So they didn't go in.
39:46
Speaker 5: They were heavy.
39:47
Speaker 6: They looked at heavy. I mean the boxes were huge,
39:49
and like there was no gift to me either.
39:51
Speaker 3: There was no gift to two boxes in my hand,
39:55
my keys, So did you walk up the stairs with them?
39:57
Speaker 4: So I took the elevator, okay, but I had those
40:00
two big old boxes that were actually pretty heavy in
40:02
my arms. And then I had a bottle of champagne
40:05
that I was trying really hard not to break because
40:07
Katie Jake's wife got T Bob this amazing bottle of
40:11
champagne that uh somebody hand painted like a bunch of
40:15
OTB stuff and put all of us on the bottle.
40:18
So I was trying really hard not to break that,
40:22
and nobody was like, hey, need some help. So I'm
40:27
just like carrying all this stuff in my hands, struggling.
40:31
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's on me. I did I did see. I
40:33
did see right before you got in the room that
40:35
that's that's on me.
40:36
Speaker 3: It's fine because my original thought was, oh, she carried
40:38
it this far, she'd probably make it ten feet, but
40:40
you actually you actually brought the bottle and showed me
40:44
the cries.
40:45
Speaker 5: T Bob left all his gifts out, watched.
40:47
Speaker 6: T Bob doesn't forget anything.
40:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know how.
40:51
Speaker 4: He doesn't work here anymore, and I'm still like grabbing
40:53
stuff for him that he left behind, Like at Whiskey
40:57
and Wine. I'd always like put all his stuff on
40:59
his chair so he wouldn't forget it.
41:01
Speaker 3: So I was telling Victoria when I brought this home, Well,
41:03
we'll get into this in just a second of what
41:05
this is. But uh, I was telling her. She's like, oh,
41:08
you saw Tea Up today? Because I was like, yeah,
41:09
Tebub gave me this. She's like, oh, you know, it's
41:11
it's it's cool. He comes around every once in a while.
41:13
I was like, Victoria, Teabup's last day was two weeks ago.
41:16
I think I've seen him every day at work, but
41:17
like two I's been here every single day.
41:20
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm like every day pretty much.
41:25
Speaker 3: So went to Chicago last week, but pretty much the
41:28
beginning of that week, like Monday Tuesday, he was here.
41:30
But then when he was in Chicago, I was also
41:32
on vacation. What to see him Anyways, Then he got
41:35
back in telling on the weekend you all saw him Sunday,
41:38
I see him yesterday.
41:39
Speaker 6: Like we've pretty much seen Tea Bob every single day.
41:42
Speaker 2: Yea, even though that like.
41:44
Speaker 4: We had brunch or whatever. Yeah, I've seen him. We
41:48
were like being so dramatic like, oh, this is your
41:51
last day, but we've seen.
41:52
Speaker 5: Him like every day.
41:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, like like literally every single day. Okay, we'll speaking
41:56
of T Bob a couple of weeks ago. Okay, so
41:58
his last week was too. His last day was two
42:00
Fridays ago. That's Sunday night. So leading up to his
42:03
last week, you know, he's cleaning out all of his
42:06
stuff and he said, hey, what size shirt do you wear?
42:10
Can you wear a medium or is that too small?
42:12
And I said, well, it depends on the shirt and
42:14
the brand. I'm usually somewhere between a medium and a large.
42:16
And he said, okay, cool. Caitlin got me a Queen
42:21
of Sparkle shirt forever ago, but for some reason, she
42:24
got it in a medium. I've never been able to
42:26
wear it. Tag still on it and I said, oh, okay,
42:29
nice thinking. And I'm never going to see this because
42:32
it's tea bop. Well that was two Sundays ago. Yesterday,
42:37
I catch him walking, you know, we're talking a little bit.
42:39
He goes, oh, don't leave.
42:39
Speaker 6: Just shit.
42:40
Speaker 3: He goes, I got something for you. So I am
42:42
now officially the owner of a Queen of Sparkle shirt.
42:47
It's gaudy, it's not really my vibe, but I'll tell
42:50
you what.
42:50
Speaker 6: I love it. Like you see Queen of Sparkles.
42:52
Speaker 3: Everybody knows her because she designs all the flashy outfits
42:55
for Kim Maulki went on the website yesterday because I'm like, Okay,
43:01
forgive me for thinking this. I see the name Queen
43:03
of Sparkles. I'm like, he don't make men's clothes. This
43:06
is actually the only men's shirt go to the go
43:09
to the shot Jordan. It's actually the only men's shirt
43:12
they they make. It's got the UH, it's got the
43:17
queen logo. Looks like a plate in card.
43:19
Speaker 5: What's on the shirt in the UH?
43:20
Speaker 3: So it's it's called it's called the second I'll put
43:23
it on when we go to break So it's it's
43:25
called the Second Line shirt. Just New Orleans themed. I mean,
43:28
it's got men and women in like cocktail attire. It
43:30
has French quarter on the back. It's a second Line
43:33
like it's it's a pretty cool shirt. Like obviously I
43:35
don't own anything like this. It's got sparkles across the front. Like,
43:39
this is a very t bop shirt. But I think
43:41
I'm gonnare this? I think we're gonna put it on
43:43
a little bit later.
43:44
Speaker 4: Uh well, her husband wears like really he wears him
43:49
and Jamie is her name, Like they wear very similar.
43:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think so. So I judged like a Battle
43:58
of the Bands with her one time, and his name's Hunter.
44:01
Speaker 4: He was there too, and my neighbors are friends with him,
44:04
like they've been friends since college or whatever.
44:06
Speaker 5: But yeah, he has a very They both have very
44:12
how do I say it?
44:13
Speaker 4: Like their style is lamboyant, flamboyant, I guess is the
44:17
I mean it makes.
44:18
Speaker 3: Sense if you're married to the Queen of Sparkles, you
44:19
gotta be bring it.
44:21
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got to bring it if you're married to
44:22
the Queen of Sparkles.
44:23
Speaker 6: But yeah, So it's funny.
44:25
Speaker 3: When Tima first brought me this, I was like, no, Wing,
44:27
you're giving me your fruit shirt because a bunch of colors.
44:31
I was like, TV, you're not You're not getting rid
44:32
of your fruit shirt. He's like, no, this is the
44:34
Queen of Sparkle shirt.
44:35
Speaker 6: I'll tell you. But I was like, I forgot because
44:36
I was like two weeks ago. But uh, it's pretty
44:39
cool and it does fit.
44:40
Speaker 3: I had to try it on when I got it because,
44:43
like again, sometimes I'm a medium, Like this shirt, here's
44:45
a large. This shirt here fits me better than this
44:48
like it's it's weird. I'm a tweener. Like if they
44:50
ever made an extra medium, that's me because like this
44:54
medium shirt is looser on me than this large shirt.
44:57
Speaker 6: It's like, I don't know, it's weird.
45:00
Speaker 7: I'd rather be extra medium than medium. You never want
45:02
to be the sho No no, no, no no, I'm
45:04
not the small medium. I'm the extra medium, the medium
45:06
to the law.
45:07
