  Speaker 1: Where the plays get broken down and science gets denied.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Dude, they said I gotta come off the bench.

  Speaker 3: OTB, hour number two here on a football Friday, live
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: from Rouse's on Burbank and Lee.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: Come hang out. Come see us. We'll be here all
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: show long. Had a couple people hang out. Oh, yeah. Remember?
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: It's all sweet little helmet. Brought a helmet if you
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: want us to sign it.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: If you want to bring us cards like last year
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: and just give them to us.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, make sure they're one-on-ones. Yeah.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I think we got, like, some numbered cards of ourselves,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: which are definitely hard to find.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: Definitely.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, they're going for all the bunnies.
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: The market is hot. There is a card of me
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: out there for sale for a couple thousand dollars right now. No,
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: it's not going to get a couple hundred dollars, but
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: it's for sale for that, so respect that guy for trying.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: What card is that?
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: It's a 2012 Panini Prism Gold PSA 10. Not that
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: I looked at it.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised you didn't pull the trigger on that one.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: Well, he's got it marked up about ten times more
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: than it's worth.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: All right. Where did you find that at?
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: That's on eBay, Electronic Bay. I'm assuming that's what it
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: stands for.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: You know what? I have no idea.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: It's got to be, right?
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: I don't think so. They have way more electronics. I'm
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: actually going to see if we can lowball this guy.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: Well, usually you can't offer less than 50%. He's on
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: sale for $ 4, 000.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: $ 4, 999.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: 95.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's not even worth 10 times less. Look,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: you're my guy. Yeah. I think you have to understand that. Yeah.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: You're not just some guy.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: You're just not some guy to me. It's not. Nope.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Ain't no way.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: Nope.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: It's not.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: I actually bought a gold. I do own a gold,
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: and I got it graded myself. Okay.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: So you had this card.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Well, I don't have it at 10, though. I got
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: it graded at 9.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Have you seen this one with you and the other quarterbacks?
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: It's Matt Flynn, Drew Stanton, Josh Johnson, who's still playing,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: by the way, and Alex.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Alex what?
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: What's Alex's name here?
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: It's Alex Brink.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: Alex Brink.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Who's Alex Brink?
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: I think Washington State. He was a seventh-round pick as well.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: Shout out. Yeah. So I have one getting graded right
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: now that is a combination. So back then, they still
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: do it some. But back then, they did all these
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: combinations of rookies. There was a rookie. It's me, Matt Ryan,
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: Joe Flacco. I'm getting that one graded right now, which
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: is cool. I'm trying to get.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: That is a cool card.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to get a card right now that is
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, myself, and Brian Brom from that year,
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: the rookie year. That would be a really cool one
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: to have. I don't want to pay what the guy
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: wants for it, though. So there's the problem. Am I right? Yeah.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: If it makes you feel better, my most expensive.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Card, $ 149.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Hey, babe.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: Hey, babe.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Hey, babe.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, I have a triple lotto. It's me, Peyton Hillis,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: and Owen Schmidt.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, I got to get this.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: You can't. That's a lot of money, though, for that.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: 104? I mean. That's three fullbacks.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: When's the next time three fullbacks are going to be
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: on a card?
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: You're right.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: They call that a relic.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: They call that a grail.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Hell, yeah.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: That's a lot of money.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Tell the people something fun while I bid on this card.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's no way you're offering more than 15
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: for that, right? I don't even see where it's. I
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: think it's just buy it now. You got to message them. Oh,
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: that's Com-C. So they're big.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: I don't know what that means.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: It's a big company that's like a third-party consigner.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Are you saying they're not going to negotiate? They don't
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: negotiate over there. The price is the price.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: So a lot of our old cards will be with
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: them as a consignor.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Can't negotiate.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: There's one with me and Jamal Charles, $ 69. 83.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Okay. Fun fact. Jamal Charles, a little bit better of
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: a running back than me.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: That is fun.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: I did block a punt when he was the wing
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: and scooped and scored it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Not a big deal. It's not that big of a deal.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: That's pretty good.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Did the punt before.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: He just free released and got out there and left
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: me by about 17 yards in the dust.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: That happened as well. Nobody remembers that one. You look
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: down at your short stubby legs and you're like, why legs? Why?
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: I didn't even blame my legs. Be faster. I knew beforehand.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: That was God.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: That was God.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: That was God. It was God telling me.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: We do have a full slate of college football games
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: as well. You know, game day, Texas and Ohio State.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: But we're going to go over some of these other
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: big matchups. And, of course, we always want to remind
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: you before we get to that about our friends over
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: at Tommy's Windows, Doors, and Siding.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: GoTommys.com. G-E-A-U-X.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Tommys with a Y.com. You'll clearly see the difference when
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: you work with Tommy and the team. They are the
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: best windows in the Advocate for 2025. They are Angie's
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Super Service Award every year since 2016.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Go to GoTommys.com.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: Are we talking about Tommy?
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: Are we talking about Yo, Tommy?
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: We are.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, you've been late on the trigger there the
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: last couple times we've done that. Trying to keep up
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: with our chat. See what they're talking about. I'm just
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: trying to keep up with the hot spot here.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: I'm being completely honest.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: It's elusive. It's an elusive thing.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: All right. So we've talked about the marquee matchup. It
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: is Texas and Ohio State. And we can get to
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: maybe a prediction in that game coming up in a
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: little bit. But we'll go across the top 25. in
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: college football. Number 24, Louisville, is hosting Villanova. Number 25, Virginia,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: hosting Norfolk State. Missouri and Kansas in the border war.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: That's going to be a fun game. Those schools don't
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: like each other very much.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Indiana, who has a lot to say about.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: People's schedule, hosts Howard this weekend. Oregon and Oklahoma State
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: is in Stillwater.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Oklahoma State is a bad, bad football team.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Texas A & M is going to host Arizona State, Oklahoma,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Michigan in the big house.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: It's supposed to be a good game.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Oklahoma, Michigan is very interesting.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: That line is only four and a half right now
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: in favor of the Oklahoma Sooners.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: All the monies? I need to call Lacey real quick.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: I need to make a big financial move.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Um, I know not every game's the same and I do,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: and I want to put this out there. Western Michigan
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: was a good football team last year, like to their,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: you know, on.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Their level, they were a good football team. They really were.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I think Tim Lester does a really, really nice job there.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: So it's not like they were playing like this awful,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: awful team and they should have, well, they, they did lose,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: but they gave them the win, but still I'll watch
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: that game. And Bryce Underwood, put your app down.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Okay, actually, put your bed in. Yeah, I'm getting my
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: bed in right now.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma, we've talked about them. We think they're a really
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: good football team. We think they're super sound on both
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: sides of the football. Shocked that that line is where
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: it's at right now. Again, Oklahoma minus four and a half.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: I guess it's the bounce back game. It's the Vegas
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: people thinking maybe there's some sort of you know, come
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: to Jesus situation, like we weren't focused. Maybe they were
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: looking ahead to the Oklahoma game because there was, even
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: before week one, people were hyping this game up. Hyping
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: this game up for the Michigan-Oklahoma talking about this game
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: might have really big implications for the playoff picture, the
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: bowl picture down the road.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: So maybe that's the Vegas way of thinking. And I
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: get it.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: When you're looking at sports betting and looking at lines
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: and stuff, usually when you feel so good about something,
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: it's stinky. Like, this feels like it's a stinky situation.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: But I've got to lean on our predictions, how we felt,
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: our conversation with Jim Nagy, how we feel about John
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: Mateer and their offense.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: With a healthy thumb.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: We believe... that Oklahoma is the real deal this year.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: And I don't know if everybody around the country believes that.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: I think people in the SEC after SEC media days
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: getting together, talking about it, and hearing the players from Oklahoma,
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: seeing John Mateers' huge biceps, seeing all that, I think
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: people in the SEC kind of know. But maybe around
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: the country they're not quite familiar with the preseason hype
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: right now with Oklahoma.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: So maybe that's the reason.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: So we'll see. But your boy is still looking for
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: that game on his app.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: You can't go to the search bar there, bud?
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: Well, I guess I could. Yeah, you definitely. I like
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: to just find it organically because I'm a man.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: I don't like to ask for help.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, you definitely could do that. Moving on because that
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: line is certainly one that I think you're going to
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: hear a little bit later on. You better jump on that.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: I still like it at five and a half, by
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: the way. You better jump on that one. I might
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: alternate line that 13 and a half.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: Seriously.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Penn State, number 16 team in the country, is traveling
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: to Tampa. Western Kentucky and Georgia in Athens. Notre Dame
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: is hosting Rice, another barn burner for the fighting Irish.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Number 12, Alabama, is traveling to Lexington to take on Kentucky.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Number 15, BYU, is hosting Arizona and Michigan. I'm trying
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: to think if that's a conference game this year. I
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: know they're in the same conference, but there was a
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: year they played where it actually did not count as
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: a conference game, one of those situations. Wake Forest and
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: North Carolina do this sometimes as well. But either way,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: BYU and Arizona. Number 19, Washington hosting Utah State. 17,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: SMU hosting UC Davis. Tennessee traveling to Atlanta to take
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: on Georgia Tech. The Southern Jaguars, they are going to
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: be traveling to Houston to take on the Cougs. And again,
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: we mentioned number one, Ohio State at number four, Texas.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: That is where college game day is going to be.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: And a lot of eyeballs across the country going to
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: be on that one. We'll come back to that one.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Number 13, Texas Tech taking on Oregon State. Iowa and
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Iowa State, their rivalry game that is typically week two
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: of the season. Iowa 13 and a half point favorite
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: in that contest. Ole Miss is hosting Charlotte, who lost
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: to the Citadel last weekend. Number 20, Utah is hosting Arkansas.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: And number 14, USC is hosting ULL. By the way,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Miami won 77-7 over FAMU last night.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: So that is your top 25. What was that again? 77-7.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Oh. They shortened the fourth quarter in the game.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: Like, true story. In college football?
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: In college football.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: They did what now?
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: They shortened the fourth quarter. Both coaches agreed to shorten
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: the fourth quarter.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: To what? I don't remember what the time was exactly.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: They took a couple minutes off the clock?
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: I think that's what they did. They can do that?
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: I think so.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: They did.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: I had no idea.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: This is news to me.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: I had no idea you could do that in the
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: year of our Lord, 2026, in college football.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Yep. I guess you can do anything.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: The Ohio State-Texas game is the matchup. Texas is a
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: point-and-a-half favorite.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: It's in Austin.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: These are two teams that a lot of people think
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: could be right back in the situation for playing for
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: a national championship.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: That's a good line.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Remember, Ohio State got the best of Texas last year.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: It was Arch Manning's first game. Didn't go well for him,
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: but certainly he's grown as a player. It's a great line.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: It makes you want to go Ohio State. A point
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: and a half.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: What's the traditional?
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: About three points that they give to the home team. Yeah.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: It's a good line.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: It's a tough one to bet because, man, what is– I.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Wouldn't touch a game like that.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't touch it, no. I'm not going to touch it.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: I mean, if you just want to have some sort
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: of rooting interest just outside of.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: The love of football and the love of the biggest
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: matchup of.
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: The year so far, like, that's a tough one to
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: pick because you really don't know. You don't know what
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: Texas is. You don't know how Arch is going to
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: handle this situation.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: You kind of know what Ohio State is because they've
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: been the epitome of just consistency.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: A quarterback that was a Heisman finalist. And you've done
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: the things at Ohio State that Texas wants to do.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: Texas is trying to be that. They're trying to be
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: that consistency and get that type of quarterback play week in,
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: week out. And they certainly got the skill and the
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: talent to do it. I think Ohio State goes down
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: to Austin and wins this game, though. I do. Am
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: I basing that on a whole heck of a lot? No,
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: I'm just basing it on the fact that I don't
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: think that Texas has ever– I think it's hard for
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: them to live up to the hype for whatever reason.
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: I don't know why. I don't know if it's– I
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: think Steve Sarkeesian is a fantastic coach. Do I think
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: he is a head coach that can get him to
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: the national championship? I don't know. I know he's a
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: play caller that can. I know he's like an offensive
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: mind that can. But is he a head coach that
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: can do it?
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: He's got to prove it.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Will Muschamp. He's got no excuses.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: And Will Muschamp's back as his defensive coordinator.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: He's got absolutely zero excuses for not being able.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: To do it. Yeah.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: Whether it's this year, whether it's next year, you've got
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: to do it at some point because you've got all
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: the talent in the world.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: You've got all the resources in the world.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: You've got Will Muschamp, who's a proven, fantastic defensive coordinator.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: So we'll see. They're going to have to prove it.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: They're going to have to get it done.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: With no excuses, and I don't think they can do it.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: That is, of course, the game of the week, number
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: one versus number four. College game day is there. And,
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: of course, college game day going to be right back
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: around LSU next week.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: I do want to comment on this. Someone in the
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: chat said, give me Texas. I think they got the
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Texas at home and with the better QB. There is
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: absolutely nothing we've seen at– Either one of these quarterbacks
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: that says Arch is a better quarterback. Julian Sayen was
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: at the Heisman ceremony last year. And, you know, I
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: think he's going to be there probably again this year. Now,
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: do I think Arch has a better higher ceiling? I'm
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: assuming he is because of his family, right?
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: That's what we're assuming.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: And he's got all the talent in the world. So
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: maybe that ceiling is higher. But as of right now.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: He has not been the better quarterback of those two.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: And that's not a knock on anybody because, again, Heisman finalist.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: Pretty good quarterback.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he is.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: And it is going to be a good quarterback matchup.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: But to just dismiss Julian Sayen, I think it would
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: be disrespectful to the season he had last year and
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: the season we expect him to.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: Have this year.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: All right, that is your top 25. Of course, later
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: on in the show, we'll play What's the Ticket? That
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: one's probably going to figure into it. We're going to
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: have the pontoon parlay, all of those different things that
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: we like to do. We'll go down the full NFL
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: slate as well. Still a lot coming your way. Richard

• 16:10

  Speaker 3: in that.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: Well, we're listening.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: I know, but you need the background music a little
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: bit to go with. You really got to remember to
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: turn that down. Why? Turn it off.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: I was going to. No, you weren't.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: It was on for a split second. You forgot.
• 18:09

• 18:12
  Speaker 3: I've already serenaded you with Lifehouse this morning.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: I'm surprised you're not.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: Singing JT right now. Rouse is playing JT. They've got
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: a hell of a playlist going on.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Because they appreciate Future Sex Love Sounds. 20-year anniversary on
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: September the 8th the other day.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: You know who else appreciates it? My sushi guy.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: He's here. He's here.
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: He had a rough morning, I think. He was here
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: a little bit later. Maybe he couldn't get in the door.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: The walkie-talkie wasn't there. But I tell you what, he's
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: making that sushi now.
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: I'm fired up. I'm glad he's here. I was a
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: little worried for him. He's back, baby.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Like he never left.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Dick Dixon did say he's almost here.
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: I do find it a technique for a sushi guy.
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: He starts with avocados. Because you've got to think, it's
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: tough to get a good ripe avocado. It's perfect.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: But for sushi, you've got to have a good schedule
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: of when these things are going to ripen up.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: He starts.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: He goes through a lot of avocado sushi.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: You think he'll care if we go grab a roll?
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: I'm starving.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: Well, but we're in a grocery store.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: I know. You ever heard that?
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: Your mom is so stupid she starved to death in
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: a grocery store? That's you right now.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: No, I know.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: But I'm saying I'm just going to go take one,
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: and then I'll pay for it after the show.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: I'm hungry now. I think it's kind of part of
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: the gig. Oh, you think?
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: I think you can just go get something. Part of
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: the gig. Part of the sponsorship. We just assume. Yeah.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: That's on the house, right? I mean, I kind of
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: had some biscuits and gravy last year.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. You definitely did. Some bacon.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: I might not have told anybody.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: No.
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: I just figured it was part of the sponsorship.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: I think it is.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think so.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: I think it is.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: And if it's not, you can bill Matt Moscona, 929
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: Government Street.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: I thought you were about to give his phone number out.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Ooh.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: I was like, you started saying numbers. I was like,
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: hold up.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: 225- I wouldn't do that to him. Of course not.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: I do it to Hunt, though. Hunt is 3-1-8.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: God, now they're playing seal.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Actually, Hunt better have a 3-1-8 number still. I'm going
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: to be very disappointed in him. What seal song are
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: they playing?
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: I can't hear. Hey, look.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: I saw this today. I'm a napkin holder.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: Where is it at?
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Hunt 3-1-8.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: He's still good. Okay.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: So today is Friday here, Ralph. So they got full
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: slab Fridays. That's a slab of ribs, bud.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Yep. I got that barbecue pit master out there.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: They do.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: A little bit for lunch. Going to be cooking up
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: these ribs. Full slab Fridays. Going to get you a
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: slab of ribs today.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Going to get your tailgating packages as well.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: Uh-huh.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: If you're, you know, going to the La Tech game.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: Yes. You're wondering, what are we going to do for
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: the tailgate? Yeah. They take all of that questioning out
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: of the process.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: You have to think about it. And if you're like, no,
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: I don't want prepared food. I want to cook my stuff.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: They got all the best groceries, all the best brands
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: right here. The fresh meat, the fresh everything. And, oh, yeah,
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: stay hydrated, too. Come get your Maihai at all your
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: Rouser stores. Stay hydrated. Make it like a nice little
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: Maihai cocktail as well.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: What do you mix that with, Bo?
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: Anything, really. You can make a Maihai Mai Tai. You
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: can make a, you can do a mimosa. You just
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: put a little orange and some champagne. We've done that before.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: And then just vodka soda, a little whoo-hoo. Are you
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: going to the game this weekend?
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: Which one?
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: The LSU-Louisiana Tech.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to make this one. 0-2. Oh, no.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: I'm going to watch it. I'll 2-2.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Nope. 0-2 and putting your feet in the stadium. Are
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: you going to Ole Miss game next weekend? No, I'm
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: not going to Oxford.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: 0-3.
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: What about the Texas A & M game?
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: Well, TBD.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: TBD.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: We'll see what the weather does. If it's cool, I'll go.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: It is funny.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: I can't tell you the amount of people last weekend
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: that saw me and they're like, where's Flynn? Almost like
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: we're like a tandem that can't go anywhere.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: I don't know what to do without you.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: I was like, well, I'm definitely Batman. He's definitely Robin.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: I'm fine with that. When it comes to hosting radio,
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: I'm good.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: I knew you were going to say that, so I
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: did it. All right, we did quickly want to go
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: over the NFL slate. We broke down the Saints and
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Lions a little bit earlier in the show. Some intriguing matchups.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Five games this week, division rivals. And I had a
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: caller call.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: Into the show yesterday, and he's like, I don't really
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: like that. He's like, you know, kind of ease into it.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: I go, there's no easing into the NFL. It doesn't
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: matter who you're playing. There's no easing into it.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: And then I started thinking about some of the the
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: slop that we have in college football to open up
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: the season.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't, are you kidding? I don't want
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: any of that.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Like NFL matchups or NFL matchups, but I like the
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: fact that we've got division games. You and I, you know,
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: started a season against an sec team one time and
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: it was Mississippi state.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: They were bad.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: They were not a good football team, but it was
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: still an sec team. And we use that all off season. Hey,
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: you better get ready. You got a conference game on
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: the road, Thursday night, everybody's watching all those types of things.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: So I didn't agree with that, and I think we've
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: got a great slate in the National Football League. We'll
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: quickly go across it here. It is the Buccaneers traveling
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: to the Bengals.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: You can't ease into the NFL season. You just had
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: a Super Bowl rematch.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you had a bad ace division rival
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: matchup last night, yesterday.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: Tomorrow, whatever that was.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Buccaneers and Bengals in Cincinnati. That's going to be a
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: fun game. That is, I think, the biggest— Point total
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: in the league this weekend, 50-and-a-half is that number. Of course,
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: we've talked about it. The Saints traveling to Detroit to
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: take on the Lions. How about this point total, 38-and-a-half,
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: a friends-and-family type game here between the New York Jets
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: and the Tennessee Titans in Nashville.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Fifteen bucks. Fifteen bucks. Fifteen bucks. Little man put that
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: in my hand.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: Where's that one from?
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: Jay and Silent Bob.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: $ 15 gets you into that game, by the way.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: You've got the Ravens and Colts in Indianapolis.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: You've got the Falcons and Steelers in Pittsburgh.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: You've got the Bears and Panthers in Charlotte.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: The Browns and the Jaguars in Jacksonville. Actually, I think
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: they're playing somewhere else this year because they're doing renovations
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: on their stadium. Either way, that is a home game
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: for the Jags.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: Bill's Texans in Houston.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: I think last time they played was in the playoffs,
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: and the Texans sacked Josh Allen six times, I think.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: The Bills are a point-and-a-half favorite on the road against
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: the Houston Texans. That could be a preview of the
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: AFC championship game.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: We didn't get to Super Bowl picks before the season started,
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: but the Houston Texans are my pick to make the
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: Super Bowl out of the AFC.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: I'm either.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Because I'm either going Bills or Texans, so it's funny
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: that this game's in week number one.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: Because even if C.J. Stroud, so he played like a
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: JV quarterback last year. Even if he plays just like
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: a varsity high school quarterback this year, they have an
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: opportunity to make the playoffs because that defense is so good.
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: And they've done some, I mean, they've got, they have
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: given C.J. Stroud everything he needs around him.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: Running back, new receiver, like he's a, trade for Boutte,
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: like right there at the end. He has got– they
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: got the best roster, one of the best rosters in
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: the NFL.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: In my opinion.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: No, I'm right there with you. Yeah, no, I'm right
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: there with you.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: I think they are my pick out of the AFC
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: to make it to the Super Bowl. You think the
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Patriots are like, we traded Keyshawn Booty?
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's weird.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: You can't really have a surplus in the NFL. It's
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: not really how it works.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, what– A.J. Brown's injury is?
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: A couple weeks.
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: A couple weeks?
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: A couple weeks. High ankle sprain. Originally, they were like,
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it's an Achilles or not.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it ended up being a high ankle sprain,
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: but multiple weeks, and then Romeo Dobbs didn't look good.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: It's one game, but we'll see where they go there.
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: Let me ask you this. So the Steelers are hosting
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: the Falcons, right?
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: The news yesterday, Tua is injured now?
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: He's got an oblique injury.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Is this a Cooper Rush game to start the year?
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: Cooper Rush took every rep with the first team. Jack
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: Strand is an undrafted free agent.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: That they love.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: They got four quarterbacks on the active. Well, of course
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: they love him.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: They've been watching Tua go out there. Well, they hadn't
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: been watching Pennix.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Well, Pennix at least done 7-on-7 and stuff. But Pennix
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: said himself that he's not ready to go. Tua hurts
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: his oblique in practice. So Cooper rushed. So you need
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: to rush to the betting window.
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: And bet the Steelers.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: I see what you did there.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: What was the line?
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: Five and a half, Pittsburgh.
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: I don't know if I got any more money left
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: over that Oklahoma bet.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: It is another friends and family game, Dolphins and Raiders.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: You've got the Packers at the Minnesota Vikings, the Commanders
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: at the Philadelphia Eagles.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: The Arizona Cardinals and the L.A. Chargers.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: And then Sunday night football is the Cowboys at Giants.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: Monday night, a game that I think is going to
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: be a really, really good one, Denver Broncos.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: At the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's fun.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, the cheapest ticket in the NFL this weekend is,
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: it's not even close, it's that $ 15 game between the
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Jets and the Titans.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: That's not great, man.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, boy.
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: Just a rough one. We just need a new team.
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: Expansion team, please. Just get rid of the Jets.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: You know what?
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: I tried to pop a joke off, but I think
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: I was dead wrong. I said friends and family game,
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Dolphins and Raiders, because it's the highest ticket in the NFL.
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: In Las Vegas?
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: $ 208 to.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Get two feet into the stadium for the Raiders and
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: the Dolphins.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: Raiders fans are great. They show up.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: I'll give them that.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: Nicest thing I'll ever see. And look, there's a lot
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: to be excited about for the Raiders, I guess. I mean,
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: you've got the number one pick.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: You're not going to see him play.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: I guess Brock Bowers isn't going to play either.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: Nope.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: He had a meniscus cleanup, which makes me a little
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: nervous sometimes.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: But it is a fun stadium to get to. And
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: he was considered to maybe be out.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: So I feel Dick Dixon's presence.
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: His aura.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: I feel his aura.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: Is he farming?
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: Oh, there he is.
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: I knew I felt him. Oh, hey, buddy. I knew
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: I felt him.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: You look so old bending over to pick.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: That chair up. Oh, my God.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: You, like, literally used your hamstrings to bend that right then.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: Wow. All right.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Let's do this. Let's take a break. We can come back.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Dixon is going to join us.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: We'll talk a little football. I'm sure we'll get into
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: some LSU. We'll get into some NFL.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: We've got the pontoon parlay.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: We'll get into his tight ace hamstrings. What?
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: We'll get what's the ticket in the college game. All
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: of that when we come back here on OTB.

• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Richard Dick Dixon, we put him in the timeout chair here.
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: Should we go down in our chairs?
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: No.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: I am not a very tall fella, and so I'm
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: already pretty low here.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: On this deal. Small chairs.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: We also had, so if you missed it earlier in
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: the week, we were putting a little bit of a
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: bounty out. We had Hester and Flynn jerseys in the wild.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Somebody took a picture of it, and we got a
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: chance to meet them. They're here at Rouse's with us,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: and so we had a chance to take a picture,
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: sign some jerseys, and I got a little care package
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: for them, and I'm going to send it to them,
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: little hats and T-shirts, and we appreciate the support of
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: Team OTB.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: While y'all were taking the pictures, I thought I was
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: going to have to bring us in. I was like,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: I'm out.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: I'm about to go get back in the truck.
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought you were just going to go solo
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: for this segment.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Floppy Mike. Poppy Mike.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Matt's not bringing it back to segment either.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: No, so he gets on there and you're the last one.
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: I'm like, Matt?
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: Matt? No?
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: We had to do, Richard and I did the whole
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: show all three hours last year when you were puking
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: your guts out like a selfish guy.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: We did do that. I thought about this morning. Can
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: I make myself puke?
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: It's not fun. I'm really tired. With those big-ass fingers?
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I'm really tired. I had to watch my son's team
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: get beat up on last night. We didn't get home
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: until late.
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: Who did they play?
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: A Madison Prep.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: 38-21.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: It wasn't great, Coach.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: It wasn't great. I'll tell you what, though. I'll give
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Knox Kiffin his credit. He fought to the very last play.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: He ran like a 60-yard touchdown, like one of the
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: last plays of the game, broke a bunch of tackles. Awesome.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: He gave what he had.
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's awesome.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: Gave what he had.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: So it was kind of, you know, it's cool to
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: see a kid go out there and, you.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: Know, the clock hits triple zero. Heck, yeah.
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: That's great.
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: I love it. What's up, sir? How we doing?
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm trying to figure out this floppy mic.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: Good luck. Here, let's see. And you kind of get
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: a little bend to it.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're a professional.
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, man, it fell. It stood for a little bit.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: Not much, man.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Just looking forward to the weekend. Got a little live
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Oak versus Santa Ma.
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: Thank you game Saturday morning.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: Heck yeah, you do.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: And then I'm hoping to watch us score more than
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: 23 points against Louisiana Tech.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, last year it was 23-7, but it didn't even
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: feel like 23-7.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: It felt like we got our butts whipped.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: It really did. It really did. I was like, wait
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: a minute. Is Mason Hitt out there playing defensive line again?
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: That's a deep cut. Mason Hitt. That's a deep cut.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: That's a very, very deep cut.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: I need to get two sacks in a game.
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: I did.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: He did against us. But that was like brother on
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: brother hate.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, that was Mason versus Lyle.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: It was. Shout out, Lyle.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: Pretty cool. That's got a pretty fun story that was. But, yeah,
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: 23-7 last year. It was clunky. It was a mess.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: You never felt like you were in control of the.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: Game against Louisiana Tech.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: Now, Louisiana Tech, I do want to say, they're not
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: directional school you.
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: They're better than that.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: But still, you should not have a game like you
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: did a year ago against them. And so I am
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: fully expecting and hoping– that they take care of business,
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: they play with the same intensity, they play with the
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: same execution. And like Lane Kivens talked about a couple times,
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: he thinks there's things they need to continue to do better.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: And so that's what you hope in a game, that
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: you go out there and you do what you're supposed
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: to do in a game like this.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: No, I like what Lane said then, I think it
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: was Monday, when everybody was talking about no sacks, no
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: negative plays, no tackles for loss. And he goes, yeah,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: but when you have a quarterback that moves like that
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: and a running back that's.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: Powerful, that hides a lot of problems.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: And when you go back and watch the film, there
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: was a lot of leakage up the middle that they
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: were able to escape.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: I guess I'm scarred, Flynn, from last year in the
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: offensive line play because I'm kind of like you. Like,
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: I watched it, and I'm like, I didn't see a ton,
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: but maybe it's because it was so bad a year ago.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Maybe so.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: That we just, like, we lowered our expectations.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: And maybe a lot.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: Of that came in towards the second half.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: At some point in the second half. But first half,
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: I saw one misplot.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: There was a big scramble that he kind of split
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: between two of the D-tackles that got up on him.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: There was another one in the end, came clean, he
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: pushed forward.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: There was one, yeah.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: It wasn't a lot. You know, we're nitpicking at this point.
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: Because I talked about it.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: Because Lane said this week, he's like, we got to
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: improve on the guard play. That is like ultimate coach's speak,
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: trying to like find something to improve on. Because... The
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: offensive line played very damn good.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: It played amazing compared to what we've seen the last
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: two years. But, I mean, I like just like his
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: halftime speech. I mean, he's not just letting anybody get
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: pats on the backs right now.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's got to get it perfected. And that's
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: what your coach has to say. I mean, that's perfect.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: People are like, oh, I mean, that's kind of rough.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: They're up 31-3. I'm like, I love every second of it.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's great. It was so good. Right.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: Like, I say it all the time because it's my
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: favorite thing. Rich Passaccia, who, funny enough, was coaching for Clemson,
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: I got it gets me and you fired.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So when you say I got it, like, oh,
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: we're good. We got it.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: That's when you get in trouble. And so I'm right
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: there with you. Don't let that ever kind of creep
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: into the locker room. And, you know, there is things
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: that you can work on. You can continue to grow
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: as you get ready to head to Oxford, Mississippi, as
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: we know, like, you know, the coaches and players, they
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: don't put the cart before the horse. We can a
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: little bit. That's a marquee matchup. That is going to
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: be everything. that everybody talks about next week. College game
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: day is going to be there. LSU is the villain.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin coming back to town. Somebody was telling me
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: they're trying to get the National Guard to show up
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: to the game. Somebody told me that is truly how deep.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: That they're going.
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: You're going?
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. We're leaving Thursday.
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: Seems like two of us are going to be there.
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: Nice.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: I was there last weekend, too. If you weren't.
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: Calling the game, you wouldn't be in Oxford either.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: You don't know that. I do know that.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: No, you don't know that.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: You can't speak in absolutes on that.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Cassie, you going to the game in Oxford next weekend?
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: You are?
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: Cool.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: Three to four.
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: She's off camera.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: She's off camera. Don't say that.
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: No, we've got the RV loaded up.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: We're bringing the RV. I mean, you're from Mississippi.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: That makes all the sense in the world.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got a group of guys from Ocean Springs
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: going up. Then I've got a group of guys from
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: here that we're bringing up the RV on Thursday. We're
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: towing the Jeep. We're going to make a weekend out
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: Like, where are you going to stay if you go
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: up there?
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: So, we've got a campground like 30 minutes outside of town.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was about to say, yeah.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: So, I wonder where LSU will stay because.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: They usually stay in Memphis, don't they?
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: So, in the past– That's where we stayed. We stayed
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: in Memphis.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: Now– The last couple of years I've been traveling with
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: the team, anytime we play Mississippi State or Ole Miss,
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: we stay in the same place in Tupelo.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: Split the difference.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: So I'm not sure if that's going to be the
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: case again, if they're staying in Tupelo, if they're going
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: to go back up north like we used to.
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: So I'm not sure.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: No, that was Arkansas. We go to the Peabody and
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: then do the Duck Walk?
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: That was Memphis.
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was Memphis.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. You're right.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: Matt, which famous musician was born in Tupelo, Mississippi? Oh, God.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: The king?
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: One that I don't like.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: The king?
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: One that was ever in. It stole his dance moves. Yeah, sure.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: Sure, that stupid podcast that you and T-Bob listened to. Uh-huh. Meh.
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: That was y'all. Sheep. Oh, God. Oh, that's a conversation
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: you want to start, bud.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: No.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: We've had this before, and I win this every time.
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: It's fine.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: I am excited you're going to the game. That'll be fun.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: Don't get any fights.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not. I'm going there to watch them.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Watch them. They will be there.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: I was telling Matt, it's like it's one of those
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: press boxes where you kind of got to go through
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: the crowd to get to the press elevator to go
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: to the press box. And, you know, I'm going to
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: have a purple polo on. And you know me, I
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: hate confrontation.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean, you're going to have an easy escape.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, please don't say anything to me, y'all.
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: Please. Like, I want to stay as neutral as possible.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: My confrontation meter just, it's, and it's not good.
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: It's not like I'm bragging about it.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: I don't like that it's so high. I'm like, one
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: brat of Chad says something to me, and then I'm
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: going to be on the news, and then Flynn's going
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: to be hosting the show by himself next week.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: No, he's going to call me. No, I just, it'll
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: get thrown to national.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: You know, and probably the most, and it's just probably
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: because of who I am, I've had the most trash
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: to me ever talked in Oxford.
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: Every time I've gone there. So I don't know.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Thursday and Friday I'm going to wear neutral clothes. I
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: don't want anything until Saturday.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Does your family have some ties to Ole Miss
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: or Mississippi State?
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: Both. So my grandfather played at Ole Miss.
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: That's what it was.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: My dad played at Mississippi State.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: That's what it was.
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: I knew it was one. I couldn't remember how that
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: all played out there. My sister graduated from Ole Miss. Yeah,
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: I knew that.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: I've hated them my entire life. I was raised to
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: hate Ole Miss.
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: I think my dad was actually committed to Ole Miss.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: When his sophomore year, they illegally recruited him, and he
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: had to go to court over it, and that's why
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: he ended up at Mississippi State. Yeah.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: How about that? Didn't know that fun fact.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Yep, they made an in-home visit his sophomore year, and
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: it got leaked, and they got in trouble.
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: So until recently, I've never really disliked them. You didn't
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: think about them?
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: I just didn't think. I was just like, whatever.
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: They didn't really matter.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, the culture got changed not that long ago.
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: But it's funny.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: They are now, for sure. How did they get changed?
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: Who changed it?
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: I think it was Lane.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Growing up, they used to, like, always consider LSU a
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: big rival.
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: And when I was getting recruited, everybody talked about the
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: big rivalry. And I remember Josh Henson coming in town
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: and talking about the Ole Miss game. And I was like, oh, yeah,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: is it a big rivalry game? He goes, only to them.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: That's not LSU's rivalry.
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: It's not ours.
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: They suck. I mean, we were 4-4.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: I'm sure you.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: We got beat once.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: You did? What year was that event?
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: That was in.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: My.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: 08? No, that was, I think it was the old
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Arkansas coach.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: Houston Nutt?
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: No.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Houston Nutt.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: I forgot about it. He was the coach there?
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. When Orgeron got fired. At Ole Miss?
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Houston Nut went there after Orgeron. And then Orgeron brought
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: in all those recruits. And then Houston Nut was a
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: decent coach. He had enough talent for the first time
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: leaving Arkansas. And they had a pretty decent little team.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: I think they went to the Sugar Bowl maybe my
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: senior year. Or the Cotton Bowl or something.
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: I have no– like even– Jevin Sneed was a quarterback.
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: Even though you all have said it, I still have
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: no recollection or memory of Houston Nutt being the coach
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: at Ole Miss.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: I hate Houston Nutt.
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: Houston Dale Nutt, I think is his middle name.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: He's one of those people that always gets his middle
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: name said too.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: I think Houston Dale.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: Sounds good.
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: Sounds right. I don't know.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: He gave me my like most motivation my freshman year.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: There was a big all-American Arkansas football player that grew
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: up next door to me and they always tried to
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: push me to go to Arkansas. I liked him when
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: I was young. But I remember when I committed to
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: LSU in like the Arkansas newspaper, they asked about me
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: committing and not going to Arkansas. And he said that
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: I wasn't big enough to play in the SEC, so
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: they weren't concerned about it.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: Smart.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: So I always remembered that going into playing Arkansas.
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: Because you just weren't good enough. You weren't big enough,
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: strong enough, fast enough.
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: To start as a true freshman, 18-year-old.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: It's true.
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: It's true.
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: It stinks. It stinks for you. It stinks.
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: If you think about it.
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: All right. We will take a break.

  Speaker 4: And they said they've been doing it for about three
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: or four years. That's crazy. I know.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: I said, good job.
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: Great job.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: I'm so proud you knew that button.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: I don't remember this one.
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: Crickets. What is this one?
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: Joke. Spooky.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: And this one is?
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: This one.
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: That you did.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: Richard's here.
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: Perfect.
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: Well played.
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: Well played, sir.
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: Richard.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: Obviously, last weekend went pretty well for the Tigers. It's
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: our first chance to have you. As we close out
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: hour number two, maybe the most impressive thing that you
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: saw from the fellas.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: The atmosphere was amazing. It was the most fun I've
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: had at a game in a long time. Just the
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: way the guys have bought into the system. Nobody's celebrating
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: the amount of big plays that were made. They immediately
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: sprinted back to the referee, gave them the ball, got
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: lined up. I mean, I thought it was the most
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: well-coached team I've seen play in a long time.
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, wait.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, when was the last time you watched a
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: game and, you know, big play, celebrate, whatever, people jog. And,
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: you know what, hats off to the ball boys. The
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: ball boys were freaking rolling. They're part of the team.
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: They really are. I think there's four, maybe six. There's
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: either four or six that are trained and they're part
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: of practice. They wear different colors. They are integral in practice.
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: And what I've heard is, like, they'll, like, they see
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: something on film in practice and I'll let them know.
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: Like, hey, let's change this.
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: The ball boys, like, if you'll notice, watch it this weekend.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: If the player, like, puts the ball down or he's not, like,
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: immediately going, like, they are, like, hitting them, like, basically, like,
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: pointing to the field. Like, get back out there. Grab
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: the ball and go.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: The most impressive thing is, like, you would see the
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: play going towards the sideline and also need to see
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: two ball boys flying down the sideline and try to
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: meet them wherever they went out.
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: Hey, did y'all feel bad?
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: Y'all saw Brian Kelly's quote that he said it was
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: hard for him to watch the game.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: Well, they got more rushing yards in that game than
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: he got in a half a season. I was just
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: so sad for him.
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: Just kidding. It made me mad. It's hard for him
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: to watch, though.
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: I just love the clip. I got too many comments.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: The clip is going around and showing, like, his speech
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: after the Florida game when he called everybody, when Cobble
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: called him out and everybody.
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: Was freaking out.
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: He's like, spoiled? You're spoiled.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: And then, you know, Kiffin's like, well, you know, we
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: got to do this. We gave up three. We had
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: a turnover. I'm like, complete difference.
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: It certainly was.
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about it in hour number three when we
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: come back.
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: Off the bench.
