  Speaker 6: So I appreciate.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: That I had your back on that one, but you

• 1:49
  Speaker 6: I mean?
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: Okay, I don't know if miligram check. Yeah, just quick.
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: We're at about eight sixty eight sixty. That's crazy, it's
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: not really, it's like six sixty.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Will we get to a comma by the end of
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: the show. We'll find out. So stick with us.
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: Yesterday, what are you shame you get into a comma?
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: Seems pretty crazy? And I was like, he's gonna say no,
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: He's like, yeah, that is crazy.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: Okay, Oh you talking about the medical doctor that was
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: on the show.
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: The doctor lawyer over here.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: They know, I don't know.
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: Let's do this. This is this is a great idea
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: for Milandra.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Okay, so sec let's talk a little.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Okay, So we are and I guess now under a
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: week until training camps start in most most schools, so
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: a lot of expectations come with a lot of teams,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: A lot of a lot of teams that don't have
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: many expectations at all. So there's many new head coaches
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: or first year head coaches at least at that school
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: this year, some first time head coaches ever in the SEC.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: So there is we kind of want to discuss and
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: who do we think is the team that's going to
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: exceed at expectations and also a team that we don't
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: think is going to get anywhere close to meeting expectations
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: going into the season. And Marlo, I know that you
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: huge fan of Alabama. I know that you are locked
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: on Cocks all the time.
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: I will not have either of those teams, and.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I know that you you were very well like NFL
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: is not really a thing really, it's college football and
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: mainly SEC. So I'm very interested. Do you hear certainly
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: your opinion, Andre I definitely want to hear yours, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I'm going to formulate mine as well.
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: Okay, so you're going to formulate it form cause this
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: was your This is a great.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Idea, So I guess my I like idea, whatever my
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: thought process behind it was like, there's a bunch of
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: new coaches in the SEC, so I'm like some of
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: them are not going to live up to expectations that
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: the fan base has, and now that like we're putting
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: expectation behind it. I'm not sure the pick that I
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: think is going to fail would be like living up
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: because I don't think there's a lot of expectations for him.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: But I do think that there's other coaches that are
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: coming into the SEC and I think that they're actually
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: kind of set up to be kind of successful, especially
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: given like their predecessor. Yeah, so like, for example, I
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: think Auburn is actually an Alex Golish are set up
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: to have a successful season. Like he's bringing his quarterback
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: that he had at South Florida had it, so they're
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: familiar with like the offense that he's going to be running.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: And I think, like Hugh Freeze just was so not
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: good that anything that's not last season and a season before,
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: the Auburn fan base is going to be happy about
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: the direction that Alex Golish is going in. And I
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: haven't looked at their schedule yet, so I'm not sure
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: how complicated.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: Okay, run it up for you. Oh, it's a great
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: it's to add to your point. Yeah, do you mean
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: to tell you?
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: Okay, open a Baylor in Atlanta, Okay, which they get
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: like a six million dollar I don't know payday for
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: that for not doing that in auburns they played at
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: Baylor last year. Okay, Southern Miss at home, Florida at home,
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: big game there. Yeah, uh, Vandy at home. I've said
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: this forever. You have more Auburn fans in Atlanta than
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: you do Auburn. You basically have four not really but
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: like living there. I just not like Alburn. You're like
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: four basically four home games to start the year. Then
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: you go at Tennessee, bye week, at Georgia, LSU at
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: home at All Miss. That's their toughest stretch.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: I was gonna say, that's that three games. We talk
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: about the three game stretch all the time. That's the
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: one for Auburn.
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: Arkansas at Mississippi State, Sanford at Bama. Okay, they are
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: going to close with three out of four wins at least.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: I think, Yeah, don't let them get an eight and four,
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: seven and four Alabama team. That's like reeling because they
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: don't have a chance to get anything through this season.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: I think they start out four to no. I think
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: they lose three of the four in the middle.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: Yes, I can go eight in four, yeah, which will
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: be like an upgrade from what Hugh Freeze was had
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: them on. So I think that, like, just given how
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: bad the situation at Auburn has been, Alex Golish will
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: bring like some consistency at least to Auburn.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: I think he gets it. And then what's asking about Auburn?
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: They came out the blue chip ratio yesterday. I meant
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: to send this to you both. What's fasting about Auburn
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: is if you if you keep up with like recruiting,
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: and it's not as important as it used to be,
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: right because you just be like, hey, listen, if you're
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: not over fifty percent blue chip ratio, which is four
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: and five star recruits out of high school, it does
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: not count which you are ranked to the portal just
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: out of high school. But for from twenty eleven to
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: twenty twenty four, almost every single national champion was over
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: fifty percent. I think all but two or over sixty
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: one percent of their roster blue chip. Last year Alburn's
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: was sixty one percent and this year it is thirty
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: one percent. Oh wow. They brought so many guys within
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: that from like the you know, G six level all
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: that kind of stuff, Like Byron Brown's a top fifteen
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: player in the portal, but he's not a four or
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: five star blue chip recruit out of high school, so
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: they wouldn't count. Indiana also bucked that trend very aggressively
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: last year. They had an eight percent blue hip ratio.
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: But I'm with you on Alex Golish. I think even
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: with like getting your blue chip ratio cut in half,
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: that schedule was set up for success. I think they're
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: gonna be much better than people think.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: I think so too.
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: Great call.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: And also like a clip of Alex Goulish after the
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: game postgame last year where Tom Herman, Yeah, Tom Herman,
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: he completely big dogged him. Yeah, it was great.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: I don't remember break I think I remember watching that
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: game live. I don't remember what the story was, but
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: obviously Tom Herman did something. Alex Skulish didn't like it,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: or maybe he Golis was just instigating her.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: Does he say that?
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Oh yeah, great call. As much as I hate Auburn,
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: that's a great call.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: Nailed it that.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: They were kind of who I was talking about last year.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Obviously I picked the wrong year, but I agree with you.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: They I mean, obviously that place is a hard place
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: to play. They played in the SEC, so there's gonna
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: be games. I mean, a successful season for a lot
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: of the teams, and you could probably say every team
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: in the SEC, a successful season all comes down to
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: a drive in three one dry one or two drives
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: in three or four games.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: That's the difference. It's a razor's edge in the SEC
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: A lot of times. That's it.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: I can't hear a razor without laughing. Now, Andandre, let
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: me follow up with you on this one. Okay, we
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: talked about the four games in the middle, and I'll
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: throw in Bama at the end. But if these four
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: are these five games, which one do you think they
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: have the best chance of winning? At Tennessee, at Georgia,
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: LSU at home We're gonna be very hung over for
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: that day of the wedding at ole Miss, and then
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: close at Bama.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: So maybe a hot take. I don't know what Tennessee
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: is gonna look like this season. I don't like I'm
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: very unsure about them. I think Tennessee is maybe the
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: one out of those games that you gave me that
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: they can walk away with a win.
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: Like you're nailing this because that's the week after they
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: played Texas at Hume. Yeah, and they're still early in
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: the year with a with a brand new I mean,
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: Auburn could be undefeated in that game. That Auburn four
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: year is gonna be huge for a first year coach. Yeah,
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: that's gonna be big for the.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: I hope they just don't overlook the Baylor game. That's
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: not a joke. Oh that's real.
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: J Lackway. He was intercepted in the middle of this segment.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: Okay, Auburn still might begin intercepted from last year.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: That's all right, now, God, you Freeze was so bad.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: So, like, I don't think they can overlook anybody. But
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: if I if I'm picking out of those games you
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: just you just listed, I'm picking Alabama because no matter
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: how good anybody is, that game is always fifty to fifty.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: So it's at Bama.
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: Okay, relax, they've only lost their one time. Okay, you
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: want to go Teamy thinks in over all, right, I
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: think I would have a couple, but I'm not going
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: to say all of them, not gonna say South Carolina.
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: I think Tennessee is going to be better than people
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: think because of the hypel first year quarterback situation.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: The season over under win total from Vegas it's seven
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: and a half games.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: I think they're right around that at eight and four
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: to nine and three. I could easily see that. And
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: they also have a favorable schedule with a lot of
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: they're big games at home. They get BAM at home,
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: they get Texas at home, they get LSU at home.
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: Their biggest road game is South Carolina and A and M,
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: which I think they will lose at least one of those.
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: The team that I don't understand what Vegas is seeing
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: here is Oklahoma. The schedule is not as bad as
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: people think. I don't think Michigan's gonna be very good.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: I don't think they're physical enough to compete with Oklahoma.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: It's at Michigan, but that's not even like a super
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: loud station. To your point, they're over under a seven
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: and a half, right, I think they're going to go
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: ten to two. I think they lose to Texas. I
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: think they lose to Georgia. It's now. What's difficult about
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: their schedule is that they get eight games in a
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: row to close out the season. They are among three
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: teams in the league that have the earliest bye weeks,
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: which is in Week five, it's them Texas and ole Miss.
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: But Oklahoma has Kentucky, Mississippi State, South Carolina. They're at Florida,
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: they get Ole Miss and A and M at home.
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: They close the Missouri. They have the best defensive line
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: in conference, hands down. The defense is always gonna be
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: got undefendables. You get year three as a starter for Jometier.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: You're two in the SEC. Also the continuity standpoint of that,
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: where you have Matier and his oc R Buckle, they
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: are going to be in year three together, you're two
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: at Oklahoma. But more importantly, they're finally going to be healthy,
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: which has been their biggest detriment the past two years.
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: Like the offensive line. They lost their top six receivers
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: in twenty twenty four, their top six, and they came
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: in I think last year. I think this year they
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: have six offensive linemen that have at least six starts,
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: which from like a math standpoint, I don't really get.
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: But I mean also I think they're going to be
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: a lot better this year than they were at least
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: two seasons ago. I think it's gonna be hard to
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: be ten to make the playoff again. But I think
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: they're gonna be able to do.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: It all right, So overachievers. It's hard to say Oklahoma's
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: over achievings that made playoffs last year, but I agree,
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: like until last week, and I think everybody started talking
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: about them as media days like it's or two weeks ago.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: They are. I think they are going to be dangerous.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: I think they are going to have a great season.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: I think my tears is going to be back in
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: the Heisman running Okay and they are going to be
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: I think probably I don't know one of five or
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: six teams that have a real shot at a Natty. Really.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they said there ten and two seven and has
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: a weird number.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I would I gotta assume that number
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: is going to go up.
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: I mean you would think so yeah.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: You would think so so to overachieve. And I'm kind
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: of basing this off of, you know, the Vegas win total.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: I was gonna go I was gonna talk about Oklahoma
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: beause I've talked about them ever since SEC media days.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like, hurt me to do this a
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: Oh, it's gonna hurt Florida.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: It's gonna hurt my feeling. I'm not gonna say Florida.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: It's gonna hurt my feelings a little bit. It kind
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: of goes against every thing I stand for. So a
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: picotine that's not in the sec. I'm gonna say, Missouri.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: I think Eli drink Witz is a is a really
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: good head coach.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think you know, a lot of people
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: for LSU didn't think he was a fit here, which
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: I understand, but I think he's a very good hey coach.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: He brings in Austin Simmons to take over the quarterback duties,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: who won the starting battle against Trinidad Chamblis. I get it,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: nobody knew who Trinidad was, but ended up being the
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: best quarterback or second best quarterback in college football last
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: year and the best quarterback in college football going into
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: this season. And he was the starter for the first
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: couple of games before him.
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: So it's also like nineteen he came into college. Yeah,
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: I want to say he committed at sixteen because he
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: graduated very early.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: And so I know they I know they have lost
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: a lot, but their season win total six and a half.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at their schedule. They start Arkansas Pine Bluff,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: at Kansas and then at home against Troy, then at
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Mississippi State. Then they have Florida and Texas A and
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: M both at home. Then they travel on the road
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: to ole Miss, then to Arkansas at home versus Texas,
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: on the road against Georgia. But then they are at
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: home against Kentucky and at home against Oklahoma.
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: So it's a brutal close.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: It's a it's a brutal close to the year.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: But I see, I got to think they are going
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: to win one of the games against Florida, Ole Miss,
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, not Texas, not Georgia, not Oklahoma. But they're
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: gonna win one, probably though they're not supposed to. And
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: I think they're going to get to that over win total.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: I think probably seven ish seven to eight wins. But
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: I think it's tough. I think Eli is good. It
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: is tough to win there.
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: It's like it's so sleepy.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I feel like he's always kind of over
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: overachieved a little bit. Maybe not always. I'm sure someone's like, oh, well,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: what twenty twenty four. I don't know.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: I don't just picking a year. Somebody's gonna fact check
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: me out.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: But I feel like he's a good coach and that
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: program has overachieved and saying like when they got to
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: the SEC, I was like, these guys are just going
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: to get blown out of the water.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: When the SEC they lost their top in twenty twelve,
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: they lost their top six offensive linemen. This is not
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: a joke. They were riding around. They had staff riding
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: around the campus on golf carts trying to find able
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: bodies that could play offensive line in practice.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: I got.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: The thing I love about Missou is that not only
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: did they have a lot Hearty even though he's coming back,
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: I don't think he'soo medically cleared, but you have Jamal
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: Roberts behind him, who was third in the conference last
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: year in yards for carry at over six yards per carry.
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: But the only thing that concerns me about them because
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: they're going to run the blank out of the football
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: they always do. You lost forty three percent of your
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: production for tackles, for lost in sacks. Damon Williams gone,
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: Zion Young's gone. That's what I worry about with Missouri.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: But I do love the schedule, like you said, besides.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: That Vember, yeah, before we go any Further, I want

  Speaker 3: you better friends at Austria as the kids, so we're
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: getting close, Like I think my kids start school in

• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Oustner Health wants to remind families that a successful school
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: year starts with good health. That means paying attention to
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: more than just grades. Check in with your child's mental health,
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: encourage open conversations, and make time to connect as they
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: adjust to a new school year. So a few extra
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: minutes talking each day can make a huge difference. Healthy
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: habits matter. To pack, balance lunches with protein, fruits, veggies,
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: whole grains, and let your kids help plan meals so
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: they're more excited to make smart choices.
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: Let them help you make those meals.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Good nutrition helps support learning, energy, and focus throughout the
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: school day. So if your child plays sports, don't forget
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: an annual sports physical as well, along with proper hydration, stretching,
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: plenty of rest, and the right protective equipment to help
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: keep them healthy and performing the best all season long
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: and all school year long. So many Austnar Health locations
• 23:52

  Speaker 3: you're ready, Elandra, I know you're ready to cause, like
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: when we do weekend Losers, winners and losers, you love
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: the loser.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: Let's talk about SEC losers.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: So I think that the loser for the year is
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: kind of obvious that I think, like, okay, but you
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: said overrated. I don't think they're rated, Like, I just
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: think this person is going to obviously not be successful
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: in the SEC. And I think that's Arkansas and Ryan Silverfield.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: First of all, that picture awful or a debt, you know,
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: like that is major or a loss? What did you say,
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: tired discount tire?
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: Discount tire? We know customer service always comes first. Yeah,
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: look at the chat of him getting eaten by a
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: beard to dragon ice Overfield.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: It's just so dope.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: But I just think that it's just a weird fit.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know why Arkansas. I mean, I guess he
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: was good at Memphis, but that's Memphis.
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: Or he's okay, you ever finish him with a third
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: in the American.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: So okay, fine, fine, what no Taylor had them like
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: we did like a preseason ranking and Taylor had him
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: at like twenty five.
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: Memphis yeah last season, Oh, I mean yeah, they were
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: like eight and four. But I'm saying even in the America,
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: he never.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Won the American right, No, absolutely, So that's why I
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: just don't think he's gonna I think he's set up
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: for failure coming to not only the SEC, but you're
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: going to Arkansas, right, which is already kind of like not.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: They didn't have a great season last season. I don't
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: know what their quarterback situation looks.
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: Like, do you. I'm not going to guess his name
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: because I will. Oh.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: Is it like a what island Pacific Pacific islander name?
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: No?
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's just a let me look them up.
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: Yah, it's like a Taylor. It's like a Taylor Jackson.
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: Could be a player, could be a Mormon housewife. You
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: don't ever know. I also will tell you, while you're
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: looking at a K. J. Jackson kJ Jackson, isn't there
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: a Taylor on the team.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: Taylor Green was last season.
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: Close uh Sam Pittman during his time there, and Arkansas
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: always has a brutal schedule. It's only gonna get worse.
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: They had they got a Utah this year and you
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: get nine conference games that forty seven percent of Sam
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: Pittman's overall games were against ranked opponents. Seventy one percent
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: of his losses were against ranked opponents, and I think
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: like sixty something percent of his his overall loss fifty something,
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: it's over fifty percent were by one score or less.
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: It's a very hard place to win. And I thought
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: Pittman was great. He seemed to really buy into that
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: culture up there, and that's something you need. I don't
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: like I hate Ryan Well and also I hate them
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: I do. I don't know why.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: But also like you're losing the guy that was hiding
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: all of the other deficiencies that you had, right, like
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: Taylor green Is. He was good for the situation that
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: he was put in, right, and so you're losing that guy.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: He was covering up a lot of your mistakes. And
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: I think their schedule is a little tough too.
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: Always Yeah, every year the schedule comes out and it's
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: like what did Arkansas?
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: It's basically yeah, and it's like everybody from the portal, dude.
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: That Utah has lost. I want to say, going into
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: last season, Utah had lost one game at home in
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: like the previous six years, maybe not counting COVID, but
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: it was like, like, that is a very tough place
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: to play out of the gates. You get them, and
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: then Georgia and then at A and m Tennessee at Vandy.
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: I don't think even that game is necessarily a win.
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: You got you have like the most new faces of
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: anybody in the conference over over, like I think it's
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: like sixty total players. It's I mean, I just have
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: a hard time believing anyone's gonna.
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: Want to play like.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: I don't think anybody, even the fan base, was excited
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: about the higher No.
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: All right, look, I know this is something we wanted
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: to keep talking about, but well I know we're not
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: done done, but we do have chef Michael Johnson coming
• 28:18

  Speaker 5: I don't like it at all.
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: No, I got like text from twenty twenty three.
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: I was a dumb person to give everybody kind of
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: them heads up for these chefs going to voice voice.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: This is probably my bad. I didn't text them earlier
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: and give them the heads up. I don't know if
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: we usually do that. I don't, But guess what they're
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: probably out there getting in the eighteen wheelers, delivering all
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: them produce, all that food, getting ready they load up.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: It's training camp season, yeah, and it's not just trying
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: to camp for the players and the coaches, it's a
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: supports staff as well. But I did not have a
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: sports performances. We had smothered but we had we had
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: every we had at the Pentagon.
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: I remember that when I when I was like going
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: through that whole process, Vanderbilt was the only school that
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: was like, Hey, when you come on this visit, we've
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: got a sports nutritionist that will meet with every single
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: athlete that comes in here and and get you on
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: like a specific plan. And then I remember going to
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: Bama for like one of their camps and and and
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: it was like, you know, you know how you did that?
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: And they were like, yeah, we got a whole mess
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: of fries and ranch. It was like it was it
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: was could not have been more different of them. Yeah,
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: she's some chili on there. Boy, this is dessert.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: There was so thank y'all for getting your questions. Then
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: in the chat, apologies for not getting them on the
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: line that is I'll, you know, Brendan.
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: Hand up.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: I texted him so maybe he'll maybe.
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: He jumps in. But there was a question and it's like, man,
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: that's a good one. It's real.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: It's a real thinker. Okay, this is a monkey's hashtag
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: munchies question. Have you ever thought about all the chefs
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: from hundreds of years ago that were executed due to
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: the royalty they cooked for dying from allergic reaction was
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: mistaken for poison. That's great because like nobody really knew
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: food allergies were a thing until you know, recently we're like,
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: well okay, yeah there's a reaction there.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like just think about it. Yeah, you got this.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: You got this monarch who dear possibly Yeah you feed
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: him Yeah, a shrimp.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna call him real quick.
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: That's I don't know how you do think of that,
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: but it's a real thinker. That person did. That is
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: crazy to think about. Yeah, a lot of hair rible time,
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: Like I just I would not have done well in
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: that time.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of period of time. Yeah, I
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: mean throughout history until the last fifty you would have
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: probably done terrible.
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: I think I could have made nineteen twenties. I think
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: I could have been Okay, you could have made it.
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: You could have made it through Yeah, but like not well, I.
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: Mean like refrigeration, you're just on salt on everything.
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: You don't have social media post No, I do.
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: Love the idea.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: Wait, not a big deal.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: I have chef. Yeah, right, chef, we got you what.
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: We were worried.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Hey, great to hear from you, chef, we appreciate it.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: I know you're busy getting ready for training camp. What's
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: going on over there?
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: That's interesting. We just had a ice maker blow its
• 34:42
  Speaker 8: valve and blue coolant all over the place. Though it
• 34:45
  Speaker 8: was I was, I just I just broke free and
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: I'm over here like blowing his phone up.
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: He's got anti freeze on the floor.
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: We got it sorted, So you're good.
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: All right, good, So.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: I think, chef, it's we got about a week, maybe
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: a little less a week than training team. I was
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: just telling everybody, like, it's not just training camp for
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: the players and the coaches, it's training camp for everybody.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: You're you and your staff, your chefs are going are
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: getting ready to be in the thick of it. And
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: I know that as you and your staff they've been
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: You've been training, We're doing some cardio. Were getting ready
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: to y'all gonna be cooking up a storm.
• 35:22
  Speaker 8: It's like Budds training, brother, this is where we build
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: our team, you.
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: Know, uh, sharpening the knives ready?
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: Uh?
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: I do, Like, what is the so right now?
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: I'm assuming like this is this week, and I guess
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: probably maybe maybe last week as well. Probably your biggest
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: expenditure like you're ordering, like you are receiving a lot
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: of groceries right now over there.
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, and it's uh, there's a lot of communication,
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: right we just change one of our vendors to another vendor,
• 35:52
  Speaker 8: and so making sure that the quality and standards stay
• 35:55
  Speaker 8: in tax is super important for us. We've been having
• 35:57
  Speaker 8: that conversation for about a month five weeks, just making
• 36:01
  Speaker 8: sure that they're comfortable and we're comfortable with what's going on.
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: And it is you know, we we we're kind of
• 36:08
  Speaker 8: like a ship, if you will, because our storage is
• 36:12
  Speaker 8: limited and our space is limited. It's built quite efficiently
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: in that, you know, so we have to get more
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: orders in on a regular basis. We don't we don't
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: wear house a whole lot of product and that that's
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: that's a good thing realistically. It makes things more efficient,
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: but it also requires, you know, a lot of communication
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: between us and our vendors on when we need things,
• 36:33
  Speaker 8: you know, when to be here and and everybody knows,
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: you know, like this is the time of the year
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: where my eyes start getting a little bit red and
• 36:43
  Speaker 8: and things get strapped if things don't go properly, and.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: So do you do you have one person on your
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: staff that is like singularly in charge of like the
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: procurement of food.
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: Aside from myself, I have a purchaser, yes, and she
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: is one of my suits chefs. She's she's quite sharp
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: about her job. She builds relationships with the with the vendors,
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: and that's important, right because you know you watch on TV,
• 37:09
  Speaker 8: you know, calling vendors and screaming and yelling at him.
• 37:12
  Speaker 8: That's just not the case, man, you know, like you
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: go kissing people off and they're going to give you
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: what would you give them back? Right? So exactly, that's
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: why we try to stay ahead of it. And her
• 37:22
  Speaker 8: name is Amanda, and we stay I mean, she's the
• 37:25
  Speaker 8: first person that when I get in, I start talking
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: to where are we at? How are we with saying
• 37:29
  Speaker 8: what's going on with this? It's a constant conversation between
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: she and I because making sure that the product is here,
• 37:37
  Speaker 8: we also have OK crapt moments, you know, so we
• 37:40
  Speaker 8: plan for that, especially during camp, you know, because you're
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: working over the weekend. We don't necessarily get deliveries over
• 37:46
  Speaker 8: the weekend, so we're we're housing more product than we
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: normally do, and so we kind of force our vendors
• 37:52
  Speaker 8: or ask our vendors politely with some assertiveness. You know,
• 37:57
  Speaker 8: can you give us five days a week? Can you
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: get us a sixth day if poss well on Saturday?
• 38:02
  Speaker 8: Still then though, you know it's it is it's a
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: Chinese cheeksaw puzzle. Brother. You know, it's moving product around,
• 38:09
  Speaker 8: keeping it because we don't buy stuff frozen very much.
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: You know, there's a handful of things that we buy frozen,
• 38:16
  Speaker 8: but we buy a lot of fresh products, and so
• 38:18
  Speaker 8: it just makes the challenge of storage and moving things around.
• 38:22
  Speaker 8: You know, if you think about it, you're constantly consuming,
• 38:24
  Speaker 8: constantly consuming, and so you're constantly moving. So it's it's
• 38:28
  Speaker 8: a challenge for sure.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm assuming you'll go through a lot of groceries,
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: so I'm assuming you got a little you got a
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: little leverage of those vendors when you get in those
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: crap moments situation. So yeah, I got Let's get to
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: this hashtag munchies question, which side of the ball eats
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: more offense or defense?
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 38:46
  Speaker 8: Man, I think that boils down to singular people, to
• 38:50
  Speaker 8: be honest with you, and I'd say both sides.
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: Eat healthily off defensive line.
• 38:56
  Speaker 8: Uh, they're they're they're very similar, to be honest with you.
• 38:59
  Speaker 8: You know, big body guys lots of calories. You know,
• 39:02
  Speaker 8: the larger human being is in bass, the more calories
• 39:07
  Speaker 8: they burn. To you know, if if a three hundred
• 39:12
  Speaker 8: and fifty pound guy it moves ten feet, they're going
• 39:15
  Speaker 8: to burn more calories than a two hundred pound guy
• 39:17
  Speaker 8: does moving ten feet. And think about that in terms
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: of yards and miles and such. You know, if those
• 39:23
  Speaker 8: guys are the bigger the body mass is, the more
• 39:26
  Speaker 8: they the more energy it takes to burn to get there.
• 39:29
  Speaker 8: So they consume a lot. You know, there's six seven
• 39:32
  Speaker 8: eight thousand calories and in the heat that that exacerbates
• 39:36
  Speaker 8: the amount of coloric burn that there is. So during
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: the summer and during camp, it's you know, like our
• 39:43
  Speaker 8: concern is not putting weight on, it's trying to keep
• 39:47
  Speaker 8: weight on, you know, and preventing weight loss. And that's
• 39:50
  Speaker 8: a big one.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: Hashtag munchies. Here was going to make some rice and
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: gravy tonight. Do you ever cook that?
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: At LSU? What could of meat do use?
• 40:01
  Speaker 8: We do all the time. We do like chicken stews.
• 40:03
  Speaker 8: We do like New Orleans style stews. You know, I
• 40:07
  Speaker 8: mean we do it all the time. When when you
• 40:10
  Speaker 8: say gravy, we don't ever serve it just gravy, like
• 40:13
  Speaker 8: a lot of people will call a crawfish at tufea gravy. Right,
• 40:15
  Speaker 8: So we do ettypas we do sauta, coants, we do
• 40:21
  Speaker 8: you know, creoles, We do all kinds of stuff with
• 40:23
  Speaker 8: it because this is Louisiana and we represent that. You know,
• 40:27
  Speaker 8: we might use a different type of oil instead of
• 40:29
  Speaker 8: butter that's a little bit healthier, a little bit less
• 40:31
  Speaker 8: saturated bad in it, just to you know, make it
• 40:35
  Speaker 8: a little bit healthier. But specifically during camp, we kind
• 40:39
  Speaker 8: of stop worrying about those subtle nuances and more so
• 40:43
  Speaker 8: worry about making sure that they're eating because there is
• 40:47
  Speaker 8: a stress behind camp that comes along that it really
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: does boil down to at some point whether they're eating
• 40:52
  Speaker 8: or not. So you have to put comfortable foods in
• 40:54
  Speaker 8: front of them that that they're familiar with and that
• 40:57
  Speaker 8: you know they're It kind of hits close to home,
• 41:02
  Speaker 8: right and things that mom and dad would make for
• 41:03
  Speaker 8: them from from when they were growing up. And we
• 41:07
  Speaker 8: definitely have those conversations, what do you want to eat?
• 41:09
  Speaker 8: You know will make you anything, it doesn't matter. We'll
• 41:11
  Speaker 8: we'll cook you whatever you want. And it's not lobster tails,
• 41:14
  Speaker 8: you know what I mean, it's fried chicken. It's it's
• 41:18
  Speaker 8: the things that that stick to the bones and are
• 41:21
  Speaker 8: close to home, that they're meaningful to them, that they're
• 41:23
  Speaker 8: they're used to eating. And lots of pasta. My gosh,
• 41:27
  Speaker 8: we go through some pasta.
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: Man. That was my question. Was is it like a hey,
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: here's here's options every single day or is it like
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: are we were like, you know, we're going at a restaurant.
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: We are we running specials like hey, Friday is going
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: to be rivite Day or something like it like that.
• 41:42
  Speaker 8: Every meal is different. Breakfast is different from lunch, is
• 41:44
  Speaker 8: different from dinner. Yesterday's dinner is different from today's dinner.
• 41:48
  Speaker 8: It and we cycle through it. This camp, we're going
• 41:51
  Speaker 8: to cycle through two weeks, So for two weeks we'll
• 41:54
  Speaker 8: have everything different. Then we'll cycle through a third week
• 41:56
  Speaker 8: and a fourth week that will look like week one
• 41:59
  Speaker 8: and two.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: We should check it out, chef, we got time for
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: one more quick one here. And this is a real thinker.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: This one really stuck out to me as a chef.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: Have you ever thought about the chefs throughout time, Medieval times,
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: Roman times, hundreds thousands of years ago. Ever thought about
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: how many chefs were executed because the royalty they were
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: serving had a food allergy that died and they thought
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: they were brother.
• 42:21
  Speaker 8: I have a huge affinity for historic you know, things
• 42:26
  Speaker 8: that are all food. And there certainly have been chefs
• 42:28
  Speaker 8: that have lost their heads to uh, you know, poor
• 42:31
  Speaker 8: performance and and uh I do actually you know, like
• 42:37
  Speaker 8: things haven't been always so so soft chefs, I know,
• 42:40
  Speaker 8: thinking about.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: Serving like a young king that just totalergy, Like look
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: at this beautiful shrump and he dies.
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: You just poisoning.
• 42:49
  Speaker 8: Can you imagine working for Henry the eighth who was
• 42:51
  Speaker 8: struggling to have a male son and that boiling you know,
• 42:54
  Speaker 8: like he comes in and says, it's been what you're
• 42:56
  Speaker 8: feeding me rather than it's hurt, you know what I mean?
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: Like, Yeah, chef is a dangerous business. Buddy, Kudos to you.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: You're one of the bravest girls.
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: That's good.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: Well, Laine already has a son, so you don't have
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: to worry about That's right, Chef. We appreciate it. I
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: know you're working extra time right now leading up, but
• 43:19
