0:28
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm that that sound when we come in there
0:30
and that it's that guy that says seriously to come
0:33
off the bench. Who is that?
0:36
Speaker 4: I don't know?
0:36
Speaker 2: Wait, I think I know is that because I can
0:39
tell you I've always like listen to this. When I
0:41
first listened to the show, I was like, that's that's
0:44
Glenn Dorsey. No, I think it's is that Carmelo. It's
0:48
a basketball player. It always sounded like him. I think
0:51
it's Carmelo Anthony. Pretty sure. It sounds like should we
0:56
get but to record something like them, it's not. I've
1:01
always thought it.
1:01
Speaker 3: Was Putt's playing golfing Calabasas even probably right now at
1:05
six oh one, based on guy, I uld have love
1:14
messing with Glenn. The story bombs Jeez. The story of
1:21
Glenn Dorsey traveling for the first time. Is one of
1:25
my absolute favorites. So he's from obviously he went to
1:28
EA right down the road in Zalez.
1:30
Speaker 2: Right.
1:32
Speaker 3: He'd never been on an airplane before, just hed never,
1:35
like never, He didn't take his official visits.
1:37
Speaker 2: He was always l s U.
1:39
Speaker 3: So the first time that he ever got on a
1:41
plane was our first road trip at LSU. And when
1:44
I say like, England's a large human, right, I mean, well,
1:47
not anymore.
1:47
Speaker 2: He lost a ton of weight, but.
1:48
Speaker 3: I mean super tough, yest grinder, yeah right, the meanest,
1:54
like nastiest, most feared guy in college football in two.
1:57
Speaker 2: Thousand and seven, yep. But the sweetest human on.
2:00
Speaker 3: My god, when I say this man was gripping on
2:05
to each arm in his chair. He was so nervous
2:08
to fly. I mean you could see the sweat. I mean,
2:11
he looked like he had played a game. And he's
2:14
like you know when somebody's nervous on a plane, they're
2:16
like fully back, their arms are extended and they're just
2:20
sitting there and they're staring kind of up because they're like,
2:22
if I look anywhere else, I'm gonna I'm gonna lose everything.
2:24
I'm gonna hurtle yep, and he was almost like a
2:27
shade of green.
2:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's always broken the arm rest.
2:32
Speaker 4: He really did.
2:32
Speaker 3: And so like you know, you would think, okay, well,
2:35
his teammates are gonna comfort him, right, his teammates are
2:38
gonna be like, hey man, it's okay, Like we've all
2:39
flown before. It's not that big of a deal, Like
2:42
we're gonna be fine to We're on this huge commercial airplane.
2:45
It's chartered, Like this plane is going to get to
2:49
wherever it needs to go, right, some would.
2:52
Speaker 4: Do that, not us.
2:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're in a plane full of your peers. So
2:59
when there's blood in the water, yeah, the sharks.
3:03
Speaker 3: So we go, and I mean we're taking off. And
3:07
so when if you've never done it before and you're
3:10
taking off, I mean you're picking them up and putting
3:12
them down like you're going fast down the runway. Like
3:15
everybody knows that now, like you're flying whatever. So it
3:17
does that, and you can tell it's just he's about
3:19
to pass out. Yeah, And so as as we go up, like.
3:24
Speaker 2: Starting to notice that, everybody's starting to notice that he's
3:26
gripping hard.
3:28
Speaker 3: First the first like time you really just get up right, Well,
3:35
two or three people behind Glenn Dorsey get his chair
3:39
and they just start shaking it as hard as they
3:42
possibly can, and you're like, oh my god, oh no,
3:44
what's going and y'all he.
3:47
Speaker 4: Loses it, just loses it.
3:49
Speaker 3: Like panic, yelling, looking around, asking God for protection.
3:56
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
3:57
Speaker 2: I'll never get that image. Throughout the flight, he was
4:01
in different positions of stress, taking off lane and backgrip,
4:05
and there's multiple times where he was like he was
4:07
leaning forward, like one hand on the headrest in front
4:11
of him, one hand like on his thigh, like looking
4:14
down like he like and he was like shaking almost right,
4:19
and you know, you're wearing college and it's like, well,
4:22
we start the descent and we're about to land. Hey Glenn,
4:26
they say ninety nine percent of plane crashes happened when
4:29
you land, then when you take off, Hey Glenn, ninety
4:33
plane crashes happened when you take off. Oh my gosh,
4:36
that's not a real stat stat. It's just meant this.
4:38
Speaker 3: Oh it's so good. And somebody said, are those guys
4:42
still alive? They are because I know for a fact
4:47
that Melvin Oliver was one of them. Melvin large human being,
4:51
he's he's a hell of player. I want to say
4:54
Cal Williams was the other.
4:55
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it was everybody right, like everybody's good.
5:01
I mean, it's just it just happens. You get a
5:03
bunch of don college kids together, it's just funny. In
5:07
the NFL, we did the same thing.
5:09
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it's just funny that a guy like that
5:10
had never flown before because he was like I'm saying
5:13
it lsu N from down the road, right, I'm not
5:15
gonna go on official visits.
5:16
Speaker 2: And look, I hate I don't like fun either. I
5:18
do it. I'm not a fan, do it quite a bit.
5:20
I just would rather keep the old feet on the
5:22
ground situation. I don't do small planes.
5:28
Speaker 3: I've done them a couple of times, and every time
5:30
I do.
5:30
Speaker 2: A mike, what do you mean a small plane? I
5:32
got like like a prop compeller. I'm really talking about
5:35
almost anything.
5:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, anything, any anything that you got to duck your
5:39
head to get into, you know what I mean?
5:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just you know, not a short fella. So
5:45
there's been so many times we're in trouble and I
5:49
feel like these airlines are squeezing another couple of rows
5:52
of seats in these things.
5:54
Speaker 3: Maybe they are tight like, you got to have more
5:56
than ten seats for me to get on that thing. Look,
6:00
I've done him. I've done the four seats, I've done
6:01
the sixth. The first plane I ever got up in
6:05
was an old World War two plane, which like it
6:08
was just pilot in front of me and I'm in
6:11
the back.
6:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, like it's like an air show situation.
6:14
Speaker 3: The first one like I ever got in it was
6:17
it was awesome and it actually felt more safe in that.
6:18
Speaker 2: Than right, like a like a little glider. Right. So
6:23
we me and my buddy Josh sitting when we I
6:26
can't remember what year it was, but we were playing
6:28
in Green Bay and he's from Pisway.
6:29
Speaker 3: Is this a guy that's that said T Bob was
6:31
a complete liability.
6:32
Speaker 2: Yes, Bingo in Vegas. Another story. We'll save it, we'll
6:37
tease it. So we go down. He's from Pensacola, lives
6:42
in Pensacola. Yeah, Blue Angel, Blue Angels. So we're like,
6:44
all right, let's see off Seaton.
6:45
Speaker 1: No.
6:46
Speaker 2: I think it might have been July fourth, that's when
6:49
the Blue Angels big show in Pensacola Beach, right, that
6:52
is that Memorial Day of July. I think it's July fourth. Anyway,
6:56
So he's like, hey, we got invited you. I want
6:58
to come ride on the Fat Albert play with me.
7:00
I'm my absolutely, Yeah, I don't want to ride on
7:04
a fighter jet because I get like sick. I've seen
7:06
the videos of people like black and Out for sure.
7:09
Doesn't intrigue me. Yeah, it'd be a cool story, but like,
7:11
you got to live through that.
7:12
Speaker 3: Story first, and you're gonna throw up on yourself. You're
7:14
gonna pass.
7:15
Speaker 2: I'm a guy that gets like really motion sick. I
7:17
have to I drive all the time. When people are going,
7:20
I gotta sit in the front seat. If it's in
7:21
the back, I got a baby tummy, all right, it's
7:23
a baby tummy. Yeah, And that's you know, it's it's
7:27
my cross the barrier here, you know. But I always
7:29
get sick on everything. So I get off Fat Albert.
7:32
And so the pilot's talking like these are these are
7:36
fighter planets. They serve our country. They are the best
7:39
pilots in the whole world. He's like talking about these
7:43
When we do these fights, we work evasive maneuvers. So
7:46
we were we take off, We're gonna take off like
7:49
we are under fire, and Okay, yeah, and we're we're yeah,
7:54
we're gonna place, we're gonna take off, So we're gonna
7:56
take off really fast. Yeah, and we're gonna go straight up, right,
7:59
because you gotta get up in the air. You got
8:00
to get out of range of ye of what they're
8:04
shooting at you. So so you do it. So we
8:06
did this, and can I tell you we went straight
8:09
up in the air and then you flatten out and
8:10
you hit zero gravity for like two seconds. Yeah. But
8:15
I've never felt safer than being on that plane because
8:19
of like knowing the pilot, knowing they're like the greatest
8:22
pilots in the whole entire world. Yeah. And then all
8:25
of a sudden, we're sitting there and we're flying. We're
8:27
kind of like tooling around waiting for the show. Then
8:29
the then the fighter Jessica Blue angels like you go
8:33
right past us, and so we're like flying over the
8:35
beach in front of all the people. Yeah, like on
8:37
this big ass plane. Yeah, and they're like, all right,
8:39
these wings they're you know, they're one hundred feet long.
8:43
He's like, and we're going to be flying about fifty
8:45
foot over the over the ocean. I'm like that, I'm
8:49
doing the math in my head, and I'm trying to
8:51
like figure out the angles, like like what if what
8:54
if you just a little gust of wind, maybe a
8:58
rogue wave comes at us, Like what happens that point?
9:03
What happened at that point? So all these things a
9:05
really spinning in my mind. But I just say that
9:07
the say like I felt more safe in that moment
9:11
than I do taking off on Delta from Baton Rouge
9:16
to the doll Or Batteries Atlanta with the one seat
9:19
over here. I didn't call over here in the airline. Okay, yeah,
9:23
you can't. Don't at me, Delta, that's all. You got
9:26
to keep everything open.
9:27
Speaker 3: In case Delta wants to sponsor the number seven morning
9:30
radio show in the country.
9:33
Speaker 2: After your number six, who was number six? We can
9:36
look that up anyways, nobody knows because we were wondering.
9:44
Speaker 3: True true, Well, I mean, you know, we're we're going
9:47
to tell this story because you said that you saw
9:49
it in a vision that gart Nessmeyer was going to
9:51
be in New York for the Heisman ceremony. And so
9:54
if that is the case, which is very very cool
9:58
that I get to, you know, cover Army Navy every
10:00
single year it's it's my favorite thing that I do
10:03
because it's Army Navy, and I just can't.
10:07
Speaker 2: I can't.
10:07
Speaker 3: If you've never done it, I can't explain it. To
10:09
do it justice, I can't. Everybody, everybody listening needs to
10:13
go to Army Navy at least once in their lifetime.
10:15
You just you have to do it. You need to
10:17
do it. If you have kids, bring the kids. It
10:18
is incredible.
10:20
Speaker 2: I didn't even know that anybody could, just like I
10:24
thought it was all service members that they could go.
10:26
So anybody can.
10:27
Speaker 3: Anybody Ticketmaster tickets, you can go it.
10:32
Speaker 2: Matt Man.
10:32
Speaker 3: It is chills thirty times over all. Right, So I
10:36
get to do that every year. Very grateful. This year's
10:39
in Baltimore, I believe. But the year that Jayden won
10:42
the Heisman, it was in Boston. Well, if an LSU
10:47
player makes it to the Heisman ceremony, serious exem sends me.
10:51
I went with Joe, went with Jayden and the little
10:55
peek behind the curtain because they know if they send me,
11:00
I'm gonna see the player and we're gonna get an
11:02
interview without having to spend the big bucks to get
11:05
said interview. So I was doing Army Navy pregame show
11:12
and we do it outside freezing cold, but still a
11:14
lot of fun in Boston. And they were like, all right,
11:17
we think he's gonna win, We're gonna send you up
11:20
there same day, same day. So I go from doing
11:24
Army Navy, I god already driven from as you know,
11:26
you played there from Boston to Foxborough, right, so you
11:29
make that track up there, and then from there after
11:32
the game or after the pregame show. I had to
11:34
get an uber because I had to go to Providence,
11:37
Rhode Island to get on a train. Getting an uber
11:40
was I mean, I'm I've got this suitcase walking through
11:43
like all these people trying to go to get because
11:44
I don't get to go to the game now because
11:46
I got to go cover the Heisman. And so like
11:48
I meet this this Uber driver and this random bass
11:51
Pro parking lot, just like with all these people trying
11:54
to get in, we're trying to get out. So I
11:56
get in there and I get on train from Providence.
12:00
Speaker 2: Rhode Island.
12:01
Speaker 3: I go all the way to New York, a couple
12:04
hour train drive. Again, I've got all my luggage from
12:06
Army Navy, and so like I'm walking through the streets
12:10
of New York, like all this luggage, trying to find
12:13
my way to the ceremony. Now again, like we didn't
12:16
really know if I was going to go, if I
12:17
wasn't going to go, so didn't have a hotel room situation.
12:19
So then I'm like, I call my boy Brandon Barrio
12:23
who works for LSU.
12:24
Speaker 2: He's there.
12:24
Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, can I put myself in the room.
12:26
Can I change real quick, get into a suit and
12:28
hurry and get to the ceremony there. So I get
12:32
to the ceremony like right as they're about to announce
12:36
that Jaden's the winner. Right, So I'm like a little
12:39
sweaty panic and you know, one of those you showered,
12:41
but you're sweating more now because you showered. And then
12:44
finally like you know, been on a train and doing
12:46
other things. And so they changed up from how we
12:51
did it when Joe won to how Jay And I'm like,
12:54
I'm not gonna get this interview and they have sent
12:56
me here. I've gone trains, I've gone you know, planes.
12:59
I don't know there was a whole deal or whatever
13:02
because they changed it up. And Jaden's mom sees me
13:07
and was a p one of OTB and said, I
13:12
love listening to you and T Bob in the morning.
13:14
Y'all have always been fair to Jayden. We appreciate how
13:18
y'all have always you know, brought me, you know, the
13:20
whole deal.
13:20
Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, this is And so then this happened.
13:23
Speaker 3: Jaden walks by his mom just because he's gonna go
13:26
see his mom, and if that conversation wouldn't happen, I
13:29
probably never get to interact and get everything set up.
13:33
Speaker 4: We get the interview.
13:35
Speaker 3: It's quick, it's like five minute interview, but it's like
13:37
we were the only one that got an exclusive interview, right.
13:41
It's because Jaden's mom was a p one OTB listener
13:44
and he's so happened to be passing by then he
13:46
saw me. I was like, hey, Jayden, dou can we
13:48
go over? He's like, yeah, let's go knock it out.
13:50
And the Heisman people are like right there, and you know,
13:54
it's kind of like oh, because I'm a Heisman voter.
13:55
So I'm like, I don't want this to get taken
13:57
away either. I'm like, oh my god, sweaty, palm, sweaty.
14:00
I'm donna get mad at me.
14:01
Speaker 2: So Uh, they get taken away for I mean obviously
14:05
if you don't forget you got a relationship with Yeah,
14:09
I'm assuming that's what you're talking about, not because you
14:11
got got a little special treatment that I guess because
14:15
of the interview. But what do you.
14:17
Speaker 3: Think that they you know, to get an exclusive at
14:19
the ceremony with the Heisman Trophy winner, that typically cost
14:22
a lot to get that access.
14:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, So did Sirius end up just giving you that money? No?
14:28
Speaker 3: And just you know, you get a pat on the
14:30
back of being a great employee. You know, that's how
14:35
you and that's how you leverage like relationships and like
14:38
down the road if there's something you know, and that's
14:41
when I.
14:41
Speaker 2: Cashed it, that's when you cash it in catching those
14:43
brownie points. Yeah, so that is pretty awesome though you
14:46
got a I was I'd never been on train before,
14:48
but you had got you had done the interview with
14:50
Joe a couple of years. It was completely.
14:52
Speaker 3: Different, completely like it was, and at that time I
14:55
think the Heisman Trust wasn't like didn't do it the
14:58
way they do it now. So like we access for
15:01
being with series six M like hey, come in the
15:02
back and I got Coacho and I got Joe and
15:06
when it changed, we were all like, oh boy, this
15:08
is gonna be So. I bring all that up to say,
15:11
if your vision does come true, I'll be on a
15:14
train from Baltimore to New York, carrying my luggage through
15:18
the packed holiday times of New York City and we're
15:23
gonna talk to the nust bus after he wins another
15:27
Heisman trophy.
15:27
Speaker 2: Friendly. You could probably interview me too. I'm sure. I'm
15:30
sure Garrett will invite me for being like the original
15:34
bus driver. Don't you think maybe I've talked to him
15:39
like three four times, he'll probably invite me.
15:43
Speaker 3: Even if he doesn't he think he knows like I'm
15:44
the original bus driver. No, probably not, but but he
15:50
is coming on the show pretty soon.
15:52
Speaker 2: Perfect.
15:52
Speaker 3: I've already had that conversation with him. And despite you
15:55
being here, you say, still come.
15:57
Speaker 2: On, okay man. That really pisses me off about that
16:00
West Virginia player huss bus.

it's kind of like in between, like do I fly
17:19
do I not, man, Just call them up. See what
17:20
the options are. To rent a car for a weekend
17:23
or a week, seven days, whatever it is. Whatever you need,
17:26
new car, used car, rental car, all Star, Toyota.
17:38
Speaker 1: Locked in on ULSU football twenty four to seven. You're
17:41
listening to off the Bench just the most locked in.
17:46
Speaker 2: Locked in baby, the key to the talkers for a week,
17:54
I guess the talk of Oh man, we should do
17:58
like a contest in the chat. Who ever can create
18:03
like the best one or two liners will make it
18:07
an intro.
18:07
Speaker 3: Ooh, that's actually a good idea, a great way to do.
18:13
Speaker 4: Let's don't celebrate it.
18:14
Speaker 3: It's a good idea to get you know, our listeners
18:17
they're always engaged. But you know what I mean engagement
18:20
with our listeners because you know, we do love the chat,
18:23
love the interaction, love them watching every single day. We've
18:27
got three hundred and sixty two watching live right now.
18:30
So shout out to everybody inside the chat. But yeah,
18:33
come up with some liners.
18:34
Speaker 2: And I want to kind of like apologize to the
18:36
chat too. Last two days we haven't been engaged or
18:39
I haven't been engaged as much because the internet sucks.
18:43
Speaker 3: It's bad, right, now it's brutal. The bad for you
18:45
tatas are just us like Wi Fi.
18:47
Speaker 2: No, what's bad for me?
18:48
Speaker 5: Because the live stream and our software are on two
18:53
different computers today because YouTube won't pull up on one
18:55
of them.
18:55
Speaker 2: So like I faid to Kanda? What who forgot to?
18:59
The Internet's prety important these days for people to be
19:02
hearing us right now, Like what's happening? Gordy forgot to
19:05
pay the bill? You'd have loved it. So the week
19:10
before Jake.
19:11
Speaker 5: Was out, our laptops are me and Lodge's computers restarted
19:16
like five times during the show, just restarted.
19:19
Speaker 2: It's kind of like me during that library yesterday.
19:21
Speaker 3: Should you short Circuited?
19:24
Speaker 2: I was like one of the U was a film bot.
19:28
Speaker 3: You remember Johnny in Austin Power that's too Yeah, that's
19:30
a good one. You remember you remember the.
19:32
Speaker 2: Movie Johnny you kidding me? Short Circuit?
19:34
Speaker 4: Right?
19:35
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, it was the name of the movie. Yeah,
19:37
what a great montage scene at the end where he jumps,
19:40
he ramps and so good. They have no idea what
19:43
we're talking about.
19:45
Speaker 5: I've seen Short Circuit short I was probably like nine
19:48
or ten.
19:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been a long time that movie is an
19:53
absolute great a banger. Yeah it is.
19:59
Speaker 3: What what's our Wi Fi? Through a company? If you
20:02
say Cox, I'm gonna throw this down. You know, all right,
20:08
what's your beef man? You've never seen you you You've
20:10
sounded like you've been hurt. Well, I mean we all
20:13
know Devin snow like in his fight with Cox. But
20:18
I have so I have two different Wi fis in
20:20
my home. One is is Cox Wi Fi for the
20:25
boys and like the video games and everything, and then
20:27
I have like an AT and T Fiber for my
20:29
afternoon shows like that one can't mess up. And I
20:31
have to have two different internets because the boys are
20:34
doing something I can't get knocked off, right, and the
20:36
AT and T is so much better than the COS
20:41
and it got that fiber.
20:42
Speaker 2: I'm just kind of lazy, and I need to change
20:43
them both over AT, AT and T. You do like Wired?
20:47
Speaker 4: I could do either on the eight and C fiber.
20:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely did Wired because my original office where
20:53
it was. But see, I have this daughter named Harlowe
20:57
who said, Dad, that's my office Now, I'm like, yes, yes, whatever.
21:01
So she's got a great WiFi in her room. It's
21:06
like elite in her room.
21:08
Speaker 2: So y'all got y'all, So y'all have to be plugged
21:11
in because even at my office where I have the
21:13
one computer, I got two computers in my office, one
21:15
like runs the accounting software, and that has to be
21:17
plugged in. Yeah, because it's just like four times faster. Yeah,
21:22
oh yeah, for sure. Yeah.
21:24
Speaker 3: All right, people about the Bomb Squad, and it's hard
21:29
to judge a player based off of that.
21:33
Speaker 4: And so what we mean in.
21:35
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's like not hating on the players
21:37
because we were part of it. But when I was
21:39
a freshman, when I was a sophomore, I was I
21:43
was lucky enough to be like the starting fullback, right,
21:46
But if I wanted to get carries, like actual real
21:49
carries at running back, it's gonna be with Flynn and
21:51
the Bomb Squad.
21:52
Speaker 2: Like we're all gonna be in there together, no doubt.
21:54
Speaker 3: And you're playing against North Texas and it's like forty
21:57
five to three, right, and there's about thirty thousand people
22:01
left in the stadium.
22:03
Speaker 2: Let's rip it. Let's rip it.
22:05
Speaker 3: But also, let's don't judge this player off of this,
22:08
because that is not the same situation as if you
22:12
were to walk into that stadium at the time ninety
22:16
two thousand, zero to zero score with I look up
22:21
and you know, I've got Will Arnold, and Andrew Whitworth
22:26
and Nate Livings and whoever whoever the offensive line were.
22:29
When I go in there, it's I'm not gonna say names,
22:31
but it's like ye walk on a walk on. Yeah,
22:37
So it's different, and I do feel like people, you know,
22:40
nuss Meyer probably one of them, you were one of them.
22:42
Whoever the backup quarterback is, is going to be one
22:45
of those guys that gets judged based off that situation
22:49
when in reality it's not related to whoever the starter is.
22:54
Speaker 2: So one of the worst experiences quarterback. I'm gonna say
23:01
it from a quarterbacks perspective, but for everybody is getting
23:05
thrown in the game at the end when the game's
23:07
already been decided, whether it's whether you're winning or whether
23:10
you're losing. If the game's been decided, you do not
23:13
want to go in because you know I you know
23:15
that there is an eye in the sky and it
23:18
is filming everything you're doing, so you're putting game film
23:22
on tape, and you don't want that game because you
23:27
don't want to go in the game, like you've been
23:28
sitting there for three or four hours, your ice cold,
23:32
your mind's not in the game anymore because like y'all
23:34
been destroying this team the whole time, so you're barely
23:36
even like listening anymore. You're cold. You go in the
23:40
game and you're like, man, just like, don't make me
23:43
throw the ball. I don't want to do it. I
23:45
don't want to be judged right now. I hadn't prepared,
23:47
I hadn't taken a snap. We took some scout team
23:49
reps right all week.
23:50
Speaker 4: That's actually another great point.
23:51
Speaker 2: You took some scout ting reps. I emulated the other quarterback.
23:56
So like when US two years ago and Jaden was
23:59
a senior, he went in and he didn't look great, right,
24:01
he didn't look great during his mop up time, and
24:04
you get judged. So you shouldn't judge if you go
24:07
out and look really good. So you brought up North Texas.
24:09
We went in North Texas. I think I threw three
24:11
touchdowns in the fourth quarter mop up duty. Yeah, you
24:14
shouldn't judge me by that game. And oh, this guy's
24:16
the greatest ever. Yeah, I never thought that about you. Well, obviously,
24:19
but I think the same year or maybe as the
24:21
next year we're going into we're playing Missipi State at home.
24:23
I think it was a Jefferson pile again. Oh it
24:26
was hotter than hot, harder than was that two thousand
24:31
It was two thousand and five or six? It was
24:33
six because I was playing running back. You're right, all right,
24:35
So this is after like the year before i'd played well,
24:38
played in the Peach Bowl blob. So yeah, yeah, asmar
24:41
as the last year, we're beating the breaks off Mississippi State.
24:45
And then there's this one play. For like three years,
24:49
I've told Jim Bow I don't like this play. I
24:51
don't like this play. I don't like this play. It's
24:53
called razor rub. The stupidest play in the history of
24:55
the world. I knew exactly, okay, was like a spread
24:59
out to the right way, was like spread out to
25:00
the least razor rub and it was just like this
25:02
little rub play and he goes to the flat because
25:04
I'll see you all the time, like the hardest boat
25:06
for people to make. The quarterback to make someone wide open,
25:09
and a throw that like you're gonna look stupid if
25:11
you miss it. Razor rub from underneath the center too.
25:15
Not even a gun take it. So you have to
25:17
like you have to like make a big arc, get
25:20
to your like fifth step and throat. And I hate
25:21
the play. Well, get in the game, run the ball
25:25
two times in a row, third and three or four.
25:30
I'm looking over the sile of the signals and I
25:32
see y'all listening Razor like raizor your face and then
25:39
rubbing my hands together, and I'm like mother water yeah,
25:44
and I'm like, god, I'm the backup. I can't change
25:47
the play. No, I'm not like Jameis Winston out there.
25:51
I did the hot and I'm like and they can
25:52
see the panic in my face. Razor rub got it down,
25:57
set hut pick six. It was a big six. So
26:03
I get on the I get to the sideline. I
26:05
believe it's a pixis checking all that. And we were
26:07
like in our own territory too.
26:09
Speaker 4: Mm.
26:11
Speaker 2: I walked back. I walked back. I jogged to the sideline.
26:14
Then I walked to the bench and I sit down
26:18
and you hear the phone's ringing the sideline. It was Jimbo. Yeah,
26:24
oh god, he let me have real good you know what.
26:28
The worst part is yes, win the next series went
26:33
in the game, but the starter.
26:35
Speaker 4: Back in the game, that's not that's never good.
26:39
Speaker 3: I mean you you were probably in there's probably you,
26:43
Mick Cole at tight end, probably j Mitch and Chris
26:46
Mitch a receiver. And that's so that's one of the
26:49
combinations of Chuck Scott and Keelan.
26:51
Speaker 2: What made Jimbo just such like a unicorn of a
26:55
coach is he could get after you blah blah blah.
26:59
And I always said that about It's like he would
27:01
put a string of cuss words together that like didn't
27:03
blow your mind. But then he'd put his arm around
27:06
you while you're walking off the field. He would so
27:09
lit me up. Then I went back in the game
27:11
after JaMarcus went in there blah blah blah. But after
27:13
the game he looks at me, he's like he laughs,
27:16
He's like Raisor Rev. Yeah you He's like, yeah, like
27:24
you know what, Yeah, I can't get rid of that
27:29
film I ever in my life.
27:30
Speaker 3: I cannot wait to bring up Razor Rub with him
27:33
next time because we always thirty five pin Indy and
27:37
all all these plays Razor Rub, you knew it?
27:42
Speaker 2: Who was who was doing the signals?
27:43
Speaker 4: Was it? Uh? Was it?
27:45
Speaker 2: Oh? What do you have been? Tracy?
27:48
Speaker 4: What are you?
27:49
Speaker 2: Tracy? Tracy was definitely five, was he? I don't know.
27:53
Speaker 3: Tracy's like a big time NFL coach now and what
27:55
he's a head coach at Morehead State.
27:57
Speaker 2: Tracy Smith who his dad was Carl Smith, a K tater. Yeah,
28:00
it was my quarterback coach and Seattle one of the
28:01
greatest humans. Yeah, Tracy is great too. He was a
28:04
Seattle too, wasn't he. That's something? Yeah?
28:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Uh, Anthony Ronado is going to join us.
28:09
We're gonna talk baseball. We're gonna talk trading cards because well,
28:12
Flynn got me into this, and now I've got to
28:14
figure out a way to ask somebody better questions because
28:16
Flynn never has the answers.
28:17
Speaker 4: We'll do it when we come back here on OTV.
28:20
Speaker 3: Off the bench, all right, go to Boudres Electrical dot
28:23
com man. They've been in this game for over forty years,
28:26

28:29
time to have that peace of mind. But right now
28:32
it's the best time.
28:33
Speaker 2: All right.
28:33
Speaker 3: Storm season is a coming, and the last thing that
28:36
you want here in this heat is to be without power. Now,
28:40
there's obviously other inconveniences. Right, You're not able to cook,
28:44
you're not able to do the things that you do daily.
28:46
But you don't want to be in the hot box,
28:48
the last thing.
28:49
Speaker 4: That you want to do.
28:49
Speaker 3: So if you have that whole home generator from Boudro's,
28:52
as soon as that power goes out, boom it kicks in.
28:55
You've got your AC, you've got everything. Everything that you
28:58
normally would have will be available thanks to Boudros. So
29:01
go to the website again, that's Boudros Electrical dot Com.
29:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, this lead into a hurricane season. This is gonna
29:07
be the most unpredictable hurricane season of all time. You
29:11
know what that because it's the first hurricane season in
29:15
the Gulf of America. Okay, get prepared. Called Boudros.
29:38
Speaker 1: Locked in on LSU Football twenty four to seven. You're
29:41
listening to Off the Bench.
29:44
Speaker 3: Uh, definitely not locked in LSU football here in this segment.
29:47
That is not what we're going to talk about. Big voice,
29:49
Lady Anthony Ornado is joining us right now, so we're
29:52
gonna talk baseball. We're gonna talk trading cards because well,
29:56
Anthony Flynn got me deep in this deal.
29:59
Speaker 4: It's his fall. No matter what happens, it is all
30:02
on him.
30:02
Speaker 2: And I think, you know, you're gonna blame my kid
30:04
on this one.
30:05
Speaker 4: That's a that's a heavy disclaimer because you could get
30:07
deep into this and he yeah, ugly, don't let him
30:10
blame you don't.
30:11
Speaker 2: Accept don't accept that liability. Okay.
30:14
Speaker 4: Actually, since you blame Huck, I'm gonna blame Hunk too.
30:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna play Houck. And then I'm gonna blame
30:21
guys over cards and cultures too. We went over there,
30:25
I brought my son. I was like, we'll just go
30:26
get a pack of cards. I did baseball cards. We
30:29
went over there, it gets a deck of We get
30:32
a box of cards like the Rookies and Stars. The
30:35
first time out shut your mouth. And then he pulls
30:40
like some really cool like lading the Donkey, like autographed
30:43
patch card and yeah yeah, Like my son's like, oh,
30:49
that's so cool. Then all the guys that were working there,
30:52
they were so fired up, and it was like I
30:54
was like all right, so like it's like what does that?
30:58
What does that mean? Yeah? What does this mean? It
31:00
might be worth you know, hundred bucks or whatever. It is,
31:03
and I'm like, it might be worth a hundred bucks,
31:07
all right, I like, not bad. I'm in. Okay, We're
31:11
kind of in. So after that point we started doing
31:14
a little bit more. Then we start we created like
31:16
a little like a little father son business about we
31:19
love the little eBay account, sell a couple of cards,
31:22
some singles sell it for more. How old is he?
31:24
He's nine? Okay.
31:26
Speaker 4: See this is literally why one of them I told
31:28
you this. You came into the shop with your boys.
31:29
Speaker 2: Yeah.
31:30
Speaker 4: One of my favorite things when I started the shop
31:32
was really teaching kids about business economics and like it
31:35
was like one of business one on one right, supplying
31:38
kid gets excited about a one dollar Yannis card and
31:41
he's like it's Yannis It's and You're like, hey, buddy,
31:43
let me teach you about people don't want this card
31:45
so it's not worth that much, right, like, and you
31:47
have to And that's basically what you're doing. You're using
31:49
these cards to teach them that. It was like one
31:51
of the coolest things that I realized we were doing
31:53
in the shop too.
31:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's kind of why we kept going. And
31:57
we set up like the little account on to sell
32:00
card because We had been talking for a couple of
32:02
months about doing He's nine, his sisters his sister's seven
32:06
and four. Weird think about doing like a lemonade stand.
32:09
And I'd already talked him everything about like here's your
32:11
cost of goods for the lemonade, powder, the water, the ice,
32:15
like everything you gotta you know, it costs taxes on
32:17
business those part of things. And I was like, well,
32:19
I can do the same thing, but we can also.
32:22
Speaker 4: Rip some cards and have fun. And it's literally the best.
32:25
It's like you get to be a kid again. And
32:27
that's but at the same time, right, You're like, hey, buddy,
32:29
I know you sold this card for twenty but we
32:30
paid ten dollars for it. You see the shipping label.
32:33
That costs money too. We had to drive to the
32:35
post office, right buddy. Right, Yeah, that's right, cost gas,
32:39
cost money.
32:39
Speaker 2: To get there. Right.
32:40
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's good, oh man, But you're right, though,
32:43
there's not a better feeling. Like he's got me on
32:44
these live breaks and I'm like, Betty, you know, auctioning
32:47
for this team or whatever, and like you had this
32:49
team that nobody wanted and you're just like hoping, like okay,
32:52
nobody thought this team was.
32:53
Speaker 2: Going to have something.
32:54
Speaker 3: Now I got the Tennessee Titans, and oh my gun,
32:55
there's like a warn moon there the Titans.
32:58
Speaker 4: I know that you can't fool me. They didn't go
33:00
to the Texans. How deep are you in it? Like
33:02
are you checking checklists before you get into breaks? Because
33:04
that's when you really know you're starting to one get
33:07
a little bit more advanced, but also getting to be
33:08
a little bit.
33:09
Speaker 2: Better than just like the checklists of like what that
33:11
brand has.
33:14
Speaker 3: Because step that I'm at right now, we're starting that
33:17
price a little bit.
33:18
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit ahead of take a little So.
33:21
Speaker 4: That's when you really start getting into it, is you're
33:23
like to your point, right, wait this tops chrome product.
33:27
Ken Griofy Junior signs in, so wait, yeah, the Mariners
33:31
spot should be this right. Oh wow, this place doesn't
33:34
know that, like and you go and grab that spot
33:36
right right, because like right now we're you know, we're
33:38
doing football. We're big meatheads and so we're doing football
33:41
and it's like, you know, the Commanders and the Patriots
33:43
and like they're gonna be big dollar Broncos.
33:46
Speaker 3: But it's like okay, yeah, but the Bucks got a
33:48
couple of rookies. The Chargers got a couple of rookies.
33:50
They're going to kind of be in the mid level there,
33:52
but maybe you'll get a Herbert or maybe you'll get
33:54
a Baker because they got that available here too. It's like, man,
33:57
I didn't I didn't realize all the science, like the
34:00
things that kind of go into science.
34:02
Speaker 4: Yeah. I call it calculated risk because like really, to
34:06
your point, right, you could chase a rookie and they
34:09
even though maybe the quarterbacks signed eight autographs in that
34:12
product for some reason, so that actually team should be
34:15
worth more.
34:15
Speaker 2: That's when it gets super fun.
34:16
Speaker 4: I always call it calculated risk, so you can just
34:18
break up and figure out what you want to collect,
34:20
where your value is, and then go.
34:22
Speaker 2: From It's kind of like another way to scratch the
34:24
like this the gambling. It's a little bit I mean
34:27
like ripping a absolutely, I tell you what, speculated risk
34:30
is a good way to put it.
34:34
Speaker 3: You never lose, and you're at least holding something like
34:39
sports betting, like you know me, like I'll certainly dabble
34:42
on sports betting. Dude, I haven't, like I don't even
34:44
haven't picked up in a walk.
34:45
Speaker 2: So I'm like.
34:47
Speaker 4: Like it does, and it really is. Did you see
34:51
our new set piece? I did notice how much stuff
34:55
you guys have up here.
34:56
Speaker 2: But found this baby. Wow.
35:00
Speaker 4: Wow.
35:01
Speaker 2: Okay, do you guys remember signing these because these are
35:06
not stickers, these.
35:06
Speaker 4: Are on card right, Yeah.
35:08
Speaker 3: I mean I don't remember, like specifically, maybe that one,
35:11
but I don't remember.
35:12
Speaker 2: I remember signing like I remember. I remember.
35:16
Speaker 3: I was so when I was training out in Arizona
35:18
at Api and Timpe. I remember them coming to UH
35:22
to the apartment and sign them. I remember going to
35:24
places like, hey, if you sign all of these, you
35:26
get a free TV. It's like a thirty two inch TV.
35:29
I'm like, oh my god, oh yes, I'm in college.
35:33
Thirty two inch flat it is a flat screen. Right
35:36
when we had it was all the big boxes. I
35:38
was like, yeah, like i'll do it. I'll do it
35:40
right now. So I definitely remember. And then people come
35:43
to your house and then watching you because they want
35:44
to make sure you're signing up.
35:45
Speaker 2: But that was one thing that people like. So when
35:47
you get like the Jersey patches less like when they
35:49
come to your house and watch you sign, So you
35:51
sit there and sign four thousand stickers whatever, it is
35:53
and it got from upper at the time, like upper back,
35:56
top whatever it is. But then they're like, all right,
35:58
here's like twenty jerseys. Just put them on. I'm talking about.
36:00
Speaker 4: That's the crazy. That is crazy, they say. Nowadays they
36:04
just make guys put them all on at once, like
36:07
eighty of them and then take them all off and
36:08
then their game play exactly.
36:13
Speaker 3: That was.
36:13
Speaker 2: That was pretty wild.
36:14
Speaker 3: That is I'm like, our cellonies is like, warn like,
36:17
what did you wear them?
36:18
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, okay, yeah, we are what we're doing. Oh
36:23
my gosh, what do you brought in? Like I'll have
36:25
to show you. So that that's the difference.
36:26
Speaker 2: I have a I have a really cool Victor.
36:30
Speaker 4: H is just perked up my heart. Actually, just look
36:37
at that eight. So this one's really cool. This is
36:39
by a company. I gotta shout out the company. It's
36:41
called Vaulted. So they actually you can see they put
36:43
my little you know, signature on my name and everything,
36:46
and the other one has my little like social media
36:48
handle and these are like.
36:49
Speaker 2: Spots I can.
36:52
Speaker 4: It's like it's like a fish you can put like
36:54
cards in the fronts or whatever.
36:58
Speaker 2: That's cool. I just set my first like group of
37:01
cards to get great and let's go, who'd you send
37:04
it to us? A nice?
37:06
Speaker 4: Is there a like companies?
37:08
Speaker 3: I was about to say, like, is there one that
37:10
like you prefers or one better than the other.
37:12
Speaker 4: So PSA is kind of the gold standard and it
37:15
kind of commands the most market value.
37:18
Speaker 2: But you see this one.
37:18
Speaker 4: The reason I want to show you guys that one
37:20
says it's from his debut game, like his acuah, it's
37:24
actually yeah, that's a game warn from a specific So
37:27
basically you might one hold onto this puppet. This one's
37:30
probably a couple of thousand dollars right now or something
37:32
like that. But that game used and it's from a
37:35
specific game. So if you like look at Lebron James's
37:37
history and this this is where we go. Why I
37:39
say it's calculated risk, right because I look at it
37:41
as like an actual alternative investment, the same way you
37:44
would invest in real estate or jewelry or art, right
37:47
other things like Lebron James's game used Rookie patch Jersey.
37:52
Right now, that's an autograph numbered out of twenty three
37:54
because it was Upper Deck Exquisite. It was like six set, right,
37:57
it's like one hundred grand yeah literally, right, So like
38:00
that's the kind of stuff that holds value over time, right,
38:02
and I'm hoping that his career Victor Lebron to work,
38:05
Yeah exactly, and if it does, that card could be
38:08
something like that now again in twenty years, like the
38:10
value of the dollar, right and all that stuff.
38:11
Speaker 2: Right, but still that's a really good appreciation.
38:13
Speaker 3: In fifteen years, Anthony's gonna come do the show and
38:16
he's gonna have that same case handcuff.
38:18
Speaker 2: Though. Have you seen the way they.
38:20
Speaker 4: Deliver some of these cards down It's like brins trucks
38:22
and like security.
38:23
Speaker 2: Like you have to like Paul that's got a Pokemon
38:25
on a necklace. Ye, right. With Anthony's answer, I don't
38:28
think he liked that necklace very much. It was just
38:31
the industry just gets that.
38:32
Speaker 4: So like you know, actually like the Paul's do anything
38:34
and it's like it's lights and igniter on things, and
38:36
it's like now people think that values are inflated when
38:40
they're not and all.
38:41
Speaker 2: That, you know.
38:41
Speaker 4: All right, last one before we get to a break
38:45
and certainly hit up some LSU baseball, I've got a
38:48
question from Abo inside of the chat.
38:50
Speaker 3: What's the most expensive card? You've ever held in your hand.
38:54
Speaker 4: I actually did get to hold the Paul Schemes one
38:56
of one debut patch. That's right, I actually sell the videos.
38:59
Tops flew me up there. It was Yeah, they flew
39:02
me up to the vault and they wanted me to
39:03
do some marketing around it. So yeah, I got some
39:06
cool pictures and held it, went into the vault and everything.
39:08
Speaker 1: Yeah.
39:09
Speaker 3: Did you think about running for a little bit? You know, no,
39:15
because it was weird in Oregon.
39:16
Speaker 4: I was like and like, I would have never got far,
39:19
So I didn't think about it. But I was like,
39:21
this can't be the act this is and they told
39:23
me that it's underground and like I was like this
39:26
is Like there was good stuff there, but it wasn't
39:28
like the high end, high end stuff.
39:31
Speaker 2: What did that card end up selling for? Yeah? When
39:34
one one point one?
39:35
Speaker 4: I think Dix in Pittsburgh, right, Dix bought it. Yeah,
39:39
okay for their new their new launch. I don't know
39:42
if you've seen, like they're like it's like a new
39:44
like brand that they're doing, like this like forward facing thing,
39:47
but they have a big collectible section now.
39:49
Speaker 2: It's like that was like their big splash.
39:51
Speaker 3: Maybe they can buy the pirates and players, so Paul
39:53
Schemes doesn't go like eight and give up one and
39:56
run and came up.
40:00
Speaker 4: Maybe that can happen.
40:02
Speaker 3: All right, We'll take a break some ELSU baseball with
40:04
Anthony when we come back here on OTV.
40:07

41:26
the core. This is off the bench with Hester and Flynn.
41:30
Baton Rougees go to for all things Louisiana sports.
41:35
Speaker 3: All right, and welcome back in ot B LSU hosting
41:39
West Virginia in a super regional and well the regional
41:43
had all the drama.
41:44
Speaker 2: It was actually fantastic.
41:45
Speaker 3: Shout out to Little Rocker one more time for coming
41:47
in here and playing their butts off. But the goal
41:51
was to have a super regional here in Baton Rouge
41:54
Obviously last year got really really close. What happened down
41:57
there or up there in Chapel Hill. You know you
42:00
you're a couple outs away, so you wanted to get
42:02
back to that point. This year they do and look,
42:05
I know this team had to fight, scratch and claw
42:07
to get out of the regional. But that little rock
42:10
team and we see it every year, they got hotter
42:12
than hot at the end, and they had true belief.
42:15
And so again shout out to them. But that's not
42:17
to say, in my opinion, Lease Anthony, that LSU's limping
42:20
into this super regional.
42:22
Speaker 2: Not at all.
42:23
Speaker 4: I think you guys know this right, when a team
42:25
is hot and when the energy is right in a
42:28
stadium and they come into a stadium and the fans
42:30
are on their heels a little bit right, like they
42:32
turned they almost turned a double play on Stanfield and
42:35
like the fourth or fifth inning, and I was like,
42:36
that was a major league double play attempt on like
42:39
not an easy ball in the whole that short stuff
42:42
played like he was the best short stuff right and
42:45
centerfielder did it too. They got at too much. They
42:47
got that hit five hundred or whatever he was about
42:49
in two forty on the year seven bolts Like he's
42:52
not a great hitter. I'm not trying to hate on him,
42:54
but yeah, these dudes were playing great. So no, I
42:56
say LSU had a tough go at it right with
43:00
a great team at the time, So I think they battled.
43:02
I think it showed what this team is capable of
43:04
they can win close games, they can be battle tested, right,
43:07
and they can do what they need to do.
43:08
Speaker 2: And I think the pitching just speaks for itself.
43:10
Speaker 3: So does that pitching set up better for a super
43:12
regional than it does a regional when you have the
43:15
best one to two punch in America?
43:17
Speaker 4: Absolutely, yeah, that's and that's the best thing, right is
43:19
you got your Friday night ace to go out there
43:21
and hopefully you win that game. And either way, right,
43:24
if you lose that one, you have one A, one B,
43:27
whoever it is, in that next game. And if you're
43:29
if you've won, you got your best pitcher on the
43:31
mat or one of your best pitchers.
43:32
Speaker 2: To go close that out. Yeah, absolutely for sure.
43:34
Speaker 3: And then something else we were talking about is if
43:36
you get to a game three situation, we all were
43:40
in the belief that Cason Evans would start the game.
43:42
You go with that count and he's got experience on
43:44
Friday nights and he's been in big games, didn't have
43:47
his best stuff, hasn't had his best stuff in a while.
43:50
But Cason Evans coming in in the way that he
43:51
shut the door out, I mean that was electric. So
43:54
if you get to a game three. What do you
43:56
think happens now compared to what happened in the regional Well, it.
44:00
Speaker 4: Also kind of worked, So I mean, I know that
44:03
we got the way right, so, like the dude had
44:05
a legendary performance, so maybe we.
44:07
Speaker 2: Just do that, right.
44:08
Speaker 3: I know we started talking in circles earlier in the show,
44:10
but that's what I'm the same way.
44:12
Speaker 4: I'm like, I was questioning it too, and and then
44:14
you know, I'm like, all right, well he probably went
44:16
with Cohen exactly for your reason, right, like experience as
44:18
a starter, he probably was gonna you knew he was
44:21
gonna throw more strikes and after the game before, when
44:23
you had that three nothing lead and then you walk
44:24
guys and give that let them back in the game.
44:27
I'm sure that's what Jay was going for. So but
44:29
I think Caseon Evans has proved that he is a
44:32
dude like he can be a number one starting pitcher,
44:35
like he can. That set him up for next year.
44:37
I think, you know, to be our Friday guy. So
44:38
we want him to start feel good about him starting Sunday.
44:41
But he comes out of the pen like he did. Yeah,
44:44
I mean, we got options. So the kids lecture.
44:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, when he came, everything changed the feel I watched
44:49
it from telling like the feeling my house changed like
44:52
when he came. So I can imagine what it was
44:53
in the stadium, Like from your experience, can you if
44:57
you're that good coming out of the pen, can you
44:59
emulate that energy as a starter the same way?
45:04
Speaker 4: And yeah, and I think at the college level too,
45:06
it's it's a little bit more appropriate because like there's
45:08
just everything matters so much more than the big leagues
45:11
and stuff like that. Right when you're just like, all right,
45:12
we got one hundred and sixty two games. I'm doing
45:14
this every five days like you can. So I think
45:17
you saw that. And he changed the energy of the
45:19
game by his pace, his tone. You saw he was
45:22
waiting on the mountain. He's like, give me the ball back,
45:23
and they were trying to slow the game down. You
45:25
could feel it if he's like, I want to get
45:27
you guys back in the dugout to get this going
45:29
and keep this crowd into it.
45:30
Speaker 3: So yeah, he just got to have that same mentality
45:32
as a starter. All Right, I don't know your schedule.
45:33
Can you stick around one more segment?
45:35
Speaker 2: Nothing else to do? All right?
45:36
Speaker 3: Well, we are hanging for one more segment. We're actually
45:38
gonna bring back a segment that I love as well.
45:40
Would you rather Wednesday? It's gonna be a sports edition.
45:43
Flynn's sweating already, knowing he's got to come.
45:45
Speaker 2: Up with a question. I can't get come up with
45:47
the questions.
45:48
Speaker 3: Jeez, it's our radio show, that's gpt ay.
45:53
Speaker 2: He's already gotta pulled up.
45:55
Speaker 3: So you're gonna hear from Chat GPT from Flynn when
45:57
we come back on the bench.
