  Speaker 4: See typically like movies like any Christopher Nolan movie. Sure,

  Speaker 5: Well, this was one my idea. I mean, me and
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: Victoria kind of playing the whole thing. She's just going
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: to see it because I want to see it. Jake,
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: this might surprise you. I am not a deep thinker.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: I love a good movie where I'm sitting there.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Who done it?
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: I'm sitting there like man, like, you know what's gonna happen.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: I can go there, I can watch this trash movie.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: I cannot think about anything. I can just sit back
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: and laugh. Sometimes I need that. That's that's what we're doing.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: So we're rolling in scary movie six. I've obviously seen
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: the five previous.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah you don't see six if you hadn't seen three,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: four and five.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: That's true because you know this story line is so
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: dynamic and diversity. You know, you got to do chronological order.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: I got Victoria to watch them the joke, and I
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: gotta tell you, she wasn't a huge fan of them.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: We watched one through three and she goes, you know, Tyler, like,
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: I just I haven't seen any of the movies they're
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: making fun, So I just I just don't get it.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, it is what it is.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: But these are reason and I drag her her scary
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: movies all the time, so she's probably seen the majority
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: of these.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I'm excited about it.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: Always been a fan of the Waynesboros and they put
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: this together, so they're gonna be fun.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Uh Luke moose, have y'all seen scary movie one through five.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: I've seen a couple of them, Like I've seen them
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: one like grab me bout my strong and like i've
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: seen that one before.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: Scary movie too. Oh okay, i've seen one through four.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: I've not seen five, all right, I would be in
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: the same category as Victoria now where the new scary
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: like the new horror movies. I just haven't seen enough
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: of them, or I probably wouldn't. I probably wouldn't get
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: the jokes true.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Now, Luke, you're a little bit younger than anybody else
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: in this room, and so it's been a while since
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: we've had a scary movie.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Where do you fall?
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: I can't remember. I know I've seen one, I don't
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: remember what number.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Well, buddy, if you've seen one, you've seen them all.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Do you remember what happened to it? I probably tell
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: you which one.
• 4:18
  Speaker 8: No, I don't remember.
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: But there's two actual horror movies out Obsession back rooms.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Teenagers just went saulidoms.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: What they say. Okay, yeah, okay, I'm more excited about
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the other one.
• 4:34
  Speaker 8: Obsession was really really good.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: So the guy who made that movie is like a
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: comedy TikToker. He made the entire movie in like three
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: months and people think it's gonna win like Movie of
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: the Year or something.
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: Yes, he makes YouTube shorts and A twenty four reached
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: out to him so he could pitch some more like
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: his short videos to the A twenty four board and
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: he was like no, and he pitched them obsession and
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: they're like, yeah, that's yeah, because.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: He's basically nothing.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: Basically yeah, I mean I think he made the whole
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: thing start to finish like three months.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Like the money was just like nothing.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because he makes all his money social media. He
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: basically funded the entire thing himself. It's it's pretty cool.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: I haven't seen it yet, but yeah, we're excited. I'm
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: scary movie for Luke just for the reference, awful, worst
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: one of the series.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Skip it.
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: I can go without it.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, you can go with that. Don't need it. You
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: can go with that all follow the storyline, you don't
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: need it.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: I can't tell you the last time I saw like
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: a scary movie in theaters either.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Like, I'm gonna be honest with you.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: My wife doesn't like him, and I if I get
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: a chance to go to the movies, which is rare,
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: it's gonna be something that's, like I know, is going
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: to be really really good.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Like I don't take a lot of chances at the
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: movies because I can't. I have many chances to.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Go, certainly not to non animated movies now, although I'm
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: getting past that point with how old my children are now.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: But if I I guess it's not going to be
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: a scary.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: Movie, price like that concisions you might have to take
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: it a loan to take the whole family.

  Speaker 4: Oh it's I mean it's two fifty yeah, to take
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: the family to the movie all in, just.

  Speaker 5: any like movie rewards never happened market, all right, T Bob,
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: it's not that I don't want to. Like T Bob
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: had this moral thing where he thought it was wrong
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: to it.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Well, that's the excuse you use, because every.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: Time I sit down, I'm like, oh, I'm gonna sign
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: up for that. By the time I leave already forgot.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: T Bubble get coffee every single morning at Starbucks, every
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: single morning. He did miss the morning That's what that
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: was his routine. He lived right by one and he
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: would do it and we're like, hey, oh dude, you
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: must have a million points. He's like no, It's like
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: what do you mean, No, you don't scan every time
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: like you do it like you would basically you would
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: never pay for coffee again with how much you've already
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: built up in equity. It's like, no, man, I don't
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: do that because like I want to pay for it
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: because they're like doing a service for me. And I'm like,
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: you want to give Starbucks the little man, the poor
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: man that's hurting. You want to give them some money.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: By a big proponent of the small local businesses again.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Now if he was going to like, you know,
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: simple Joe's on the way here, it's like that's where
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: he got his coffee.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, I can get behind that.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Man's like, well, you know, I don't want to like
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Starbucks like doing the work, So like I don't want
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: to like, you.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Know, not give them the money.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I'm Starbucks.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: But what I was like, get it, get one hundred
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: dollars in ones and for tea Bob. It'd be hard
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: from not spending somewhere else, But get one hundred dollars
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: in ones, and then every time you get a coffee,
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: just pull out of one, give it his tip, pull
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: out of one, give his like if you want to
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: tip the person. But this man did not use these
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Starbucks after awards where he was gotten free coffee forever,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: because he did it every day for the six years
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: that I worked with him off principal for Starbucks. So
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: it's not like that you're saying.
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: Starbucks big on principles. Yeah, that company huge on principles.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: You want to talk about somebody that just follows their
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: beliefs and everything at Starbucks, we got to trust them.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Oh bob, here's one of one. Was one of one.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: I think I'm gonna wait to the Odyssey to go
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: see the movies, go to the movie theater.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna wait for that. I know there's been.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: There's been a lot of conversation about The Odyssey. A
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: lot of people mad that this, that and the other.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: The uniforms don't look authentic, And to the time, I'm like,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: I don't care. I don't care about any of that.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: There's not a vigilanti running around Gotham. But Christopher Nolan
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: makes a movie about it. I mean, go watch it.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Gotham's not a real city.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I don't even know a ton about the Odyssey.
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: I don't.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know enough about it to get mad about it.
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: Name a famous actor. I bet you that actor from.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Didn't Patro Pescal in it? I'm pretty sure he is.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Actually, I don't know if he's in it. Maybe then
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Luke was wrong, he might be.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: He might be. Or you went Pedro Pascal on it.
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: I mean, there's a lot of other famous actors that
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: truly are in this movie that you could have and
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: you went Pedro Paski.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: Taylor has been in everything lately. That's why I picked up.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: He went on top of mind.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Nolan, you don't want to go mad, Damon, you don't
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: want to go Tom Holland.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: You could have gone Anne Hathaway, Zan Hathaway in it?
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Luke, Yes, okay, Vin Dayahaz and Dias.

  Speaker 8: Travis Scott is actually in it?
• 9:38

  Speaker 3: Maybe Travis has act I mean, you don't.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Just getting his acting chops together?
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: In honesty, you know, I always say, let the little
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: man start small and build his acting chops in a
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: Christopher Nolan movie makes sense?
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: Are you gonna turn down Christopher Nolan?

• 15:11
  Speaker 4: magazine and well type in when you have fat thumbs

  Speaker 5: Team, some lucky, unsuspected recipient's gonna have an awesome h
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: lists in their way just for a reason at all.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: It's true, That's very, very true. I went a little
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: different this year. Sometimes I would mix in, like, you know,
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: big name draft guys that played really hard, and they're like, yeah,
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: well they got to be meatheads to play. I've done
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: that in the past. I'm a little small school heavy
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: here in this one, and in today's age of college
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: football with nil and everybody having their hand out a
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: little bit, I'm like, you know what, let me throw
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: some Jacksonville State in there. Let me throw in some Tulsa.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: I actually got two people from Jacksonville's state. I mean
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: throwing an old Dominion.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Troy.
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: So we're going Jacksonville State to win their league. That's
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: what That's what I'm hearing right now.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: So the future we're putting down.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: I think so they're salty this year. There's what the
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: game Cocks. Yeah, no big deal. Definitely knew that. Felt
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: confident about that one. He got stead running back Cam Cook.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Relation to James Cook probably not.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Where did Cam Cook transfer to the West Virginia I think.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was a he was a bigger school, right.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: I think he went to West Virginia from Jacksonville.
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: State, So he's not at Jacksonville State anymore then.
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: No, he was TCU to Jacksonville State, West Virginia.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Here he sorted at TCU. Didn't know that he was
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: the Commerce Say Player of the year. I knew he
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: went somewhere. I didn't know where we were in he
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: went West Virginia. So but you still bet on Jacksonville
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: State to win the league if you want to.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: But if they've got two guys on the on the
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: meat had team, think Bo Nick's.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Brother is on Jacksonville State from NUM.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: I mean now I'm sold.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a dark horse playoff team.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Everybody's got a chance. Now everybody does have a chance.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: So, uh, yesterday the news for LSU basketball was they
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: were going to go play a game at Gonzaga. So
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: I was excited about that. Now it is the same
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: day as the Texas game, so Texas football of course
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: in LSU in Tiger Stadium, So you know, depending on
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: the time, I guess, yeah, the excitement around that game.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: But uh, moose Luke, we don't ever get a chance
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: to get y'all's opinion on this subject. We don't really
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: know what to make of what's going on in LSU basketball.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: I'm not really sure who's going to actually be eligible
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: to play. I'm not really sure what it's actually going
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: to look like. There's some guys that have played in
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: the G League, as we know that you have gotten
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: out of the transfer portal, and they're gonna have court
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: cases to see if they can play. So I don't
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: know what the roster looks like. I'm fired up as
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: hell to have will Wade back. I do know that
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: that's about all that is certain for LSU basketball.
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean the players they've gotten are really good
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: and very projectable to the SEC. It's just like you said,
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: a matter of eligibility. I feel pretty good about the
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: uh about the international guys being eligible. Yamadar will see.
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: But the rest of the international guys feel really good
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: about their eligibility. I think they kind of know that,
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: all right, those guys are gonna have them, you know,
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: like Santos and and salou Yang and that that crop.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: You look at R J.
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: Lewis says, he's the G League guy you're referencing and
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: don't probably not gonna happen there.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: I remember covering him on my college show when he
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: was the Biggiest Player of the year.
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, like, you know, you gave up your eligibility. You
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: kind of have to have to live with that. Yeah,
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: but I'm sure they'll fight it and do whatever. I
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: don't think that's cool. I think that's stupid, like it
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: was dumb when Charles Bettiaco and Alabama and Baylor and
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: and all that. But anyway, I like the uh. I
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: like the pieces they actually got from college too, like
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: Mo Diabate and Obdi Basher from Kansas City and that
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: guy can really fill it up. So I think Will's
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: put together a nice mix of offense and defense. Really
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: started offensive heavy, but the defensive players that he's he's
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: added here as of late, like Bryce de Saarah we
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: mentioned Salad and Yang. That's good. They just they really
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: need to still get a point guard. They need a
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: true point guard on this on this club.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: What is And everybody in the room can answer this.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: It's not even like an expectation like I don't I
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: don't really need a win total anything that. What would
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: you be okay with as an LSU fan, What would
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: be acceptable for you in your number one of Will
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: Wade to make you feel good about all the things
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: you went through to bring Will Wade back. We were
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: pining for Will Wade to come back ever since he left.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: We're all excited that Will Wade's back. But that would
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: be an acceptable year number one under Will Wave.
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: Five hundred record in the league for me, five NCAA
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: tournament for me. I don't care how, I don't care
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: how it looks. Just just get there like it can.
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: It can look like NC State did a year ago
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: where you snunk in. Just just get in, like with
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: what they've invested in the program, with what they've been
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: able to bring in. Just get into the tournament. You
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: don't have to win a game, not worried about that.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: Get into the NCFA tournament. Plus there's like what ninety
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: eight teams in it now, so I mean it shouldn't
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: be that difficult.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you only got to make the top like eighty
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: five now moves whatever it is, it's fair. His point
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: about abdep sorry, his point about Abdebasher, that might be
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: my favorite guy. They've gotten in the portal, and he
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: wouldn't even one of these EuroLeague players. I mean thirteen
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: and a half points of last year twenty points a
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: game two years ago with Monmouth, He's a six to
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: seven guard. Like everyone wants to talk about the EuroLeague
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: players and are they going to be eligible? And Wades
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: bringing in pro players happy sure can fill it up.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: I think I'm I'm a little bit with both of you.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: I'm with Taylor in the fact that five hundred in
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: the SEC, but five hundred and the SEC gets you
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: into the tournament. So I think both are going to
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: be true if those you know, if Taylor's happens, the
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Moose is going to happen as well. Luke, your acceptance
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: rate for Will Wade and this LSU basketball team and
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: you're number one?
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: I think that we are obviously giving Will Wade the
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: resources he needs to get this team, uh, year one
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: into the n C DOUBLEA tournament. But I don't know
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: if that is a real expectation. What questions would to
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: be asked if he didn't get this team to the
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: n C DOUBLEA tournament Year one.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Luke just wants everybody have fun.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Is just here for the vibes.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Vibes are gonna be better than they wore.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: I will say to Luke's point though, like I want
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: both the things that you said. I want five hundred
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: and I want a NCAA tournament appearance. But I also
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: just wanted to look like it's going in a good direction.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: I wanted to look like there's a plan. I want
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: it to look like they're competitive. I want the p
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: mac to be loud, like I want people to care
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: about LSU basketball.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Y'all.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: We didn't talk basketball at all this year on an
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: LSU themed sports radio show in Baton Rouge because nobody cared.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: That's how bad it was. Now, of course, we talked
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: women's basketball. We had coach Moulky on every week, talked
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: a lot about that because they were giving you something
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: to talk about, like we didn't talk men's basketball. We
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: had coaching McMahon on twice kind of very beginning of
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: the season, and then that was it. Then it was downhill,
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: and then it was last in the SEC and it
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: was just more the same. So I want the things
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: that y'all want, but also, man, I just wanted to
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: look like it's a functional basketball program that has a
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: future I don't.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Want to be you in a graveyard, Jake.
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: LSU men's basketball met COVID restrictions last year.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Like you were more than six feet apart up in
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: that arena.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: You beat Gonzaga up there on the road, and you
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: come back for that next home game. I don't care
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: what this team does later on in the season, that
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: arena is going to be loud. It's going to be insane.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, people love will Wade. You saw how many
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: people were at his press conference when he came back.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: I mean there was a couple thousand people there for
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: his introductory press conference. When's the last time that's happened
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: in LSU basketball. Whatever happens year one, it's going to
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: be exciting. And like I'm with you, I just needed
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: to seem to have a pulse.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: And we'll see, we'll see what the team looks like.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: We'll see the international guys, we'll see the guys in
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: the G League. And I got to see the final
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: form of the roster really before you can make a
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: true assessment of what we feel like.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: It is going to be all right.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: We are going to step away and when we come back,
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: we'll get right back into some LSU football. I got
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Bill Bender of the Sporting News is going to join us.

• 26:11
  Speaker 4: Bill Bender of the Sporting and News joins us. Now. Bill,
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: always a pleasure, as I said, glad to have you on, sir.
• 26:20
  Speaker 9: List uh Me and Bobby Tarpner. You got two guys
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: from Lancaster, Ohio, one that played in the NFL and
• 26:27
  Speaker 9: one that's wrote about it for written about it for
• 26:29
  Speaker 9: a little bit. So we'll listen the listeners decide which
• 26:32
  Speaker 9: one is. Lich.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Hey, Hey, you know what though you know you and
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Bob are two of my favorites. So it's a good
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: day here for me to be able to talk to
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: both of you.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: Very excited to have this conversation because.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: Earlier in the week bill here on this show, we
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: actually broke down your quarterback rankings, and that's on the
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: Sportingnews dot com. You can check that out right now,
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: and you went top twenty five quarterbacks. But before we
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: get into individual guys and different players on this list,
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: how difficult is it when you're putting a list like
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: this together, not just because of so many great quarterbacks,
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: but also there's so many quarterbacks on this list that
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: are going to be a new face in a new place,
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Like we've known them to be really good elsewhere and
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: they're going to try to be good somewhere new, and
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: we just we always think that it's going to work
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: out like it did at their old school. But look,
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: sometimes it's better than it was at their old school.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: When you're putting a list like this together, how difficult
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: is it knowing they're in a new spot in a
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: new school and a new system.
• 27:28
  Speaker 9: Oh, there's a mix, So there are three transfer guys
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: in our foot well, for if you count Hoover the
• 27:36
  Speaker 9: for the transfer guys that I think are immediate impact
• 27:38
  Speaker 9: at their new school. You know, Sam Levitt being one
• 27:41
  Speaker 9: of them. Darien Mensa Miami had monster numbers of the
• 27:44
  Speaker 9: last two seasons.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: You got mess the.
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: Maker, who I think it's going to translate well at
• 27:49
  Speaker 9: Oklahoma State.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: I really do.
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: And then Hoover. I mean, you look at the jumps
• 27:53
  Speaker 9: at Rourke and Mendoza wasn't even on my list last year.
• 27:56
  Speaker 9: That makes me look bad, and so I'm not. I
• 27:58
  Speaker 9: learned my lesson and we're going to have Hoover up
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: there around eleven at Indiana. So it is tough when
• 28:04
  Speaker 9: you have the returning to bes the Heisman. There's one
• 28:07
  Speaker 9: Heisman finalist on the list from last year, and then
• 28:11
  Speaker 9: the transfers. It's a it's a mix. It's not a
• 28:13
  Speaker 9: perfect science. But I liked our list.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it is very good, you know, difficult to do,
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: like you said, because there's gonna be some guys that
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: are taking over for legends, and you mentioned Josh Hoover.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: You're taken over for a guy that won a national
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: championship Mendoza at Indiana, which is it still seems crazy
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: to say that al loud. So there's gonna be a
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: lot of expectations on a player like that. But let's
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: just go ahead, rip the band aid off, start this conversation.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: Big reason why we wanted to have you on number ten,
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: Sam Levitt coming over from Arizona State to LSU. He
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: had an injury plague season a year ago when he
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: was in there. It was really well, like we know
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: what he did a couple of years ago when he
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: leads Arizona State to a playoff game against Texas where
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: they had an opportunity to say the least, to win
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: the game overtime game. So if you're breaking down Sam
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: Levitt going from Arizona State to LSU, and for LSU
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: fans listening, how would you break down his game and
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: how he's on the top ten in this list.
• 29:09
  Speaker 9: Well, it's everything you said. I mean, you got a
• 29:11
  Speaker 9: guy that's sixteen and four as a starter. I like
• 29:14
  Speaker 9: his mobility, it's not necessarily like a design run that,
• 29:18
  Speaker 9: the ability to scramble, make plays an improv and I
• 29:21
  Speaker 9: think you know you give him Lane Kiffen and Charlie
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: Weish Junior provided his foot's okay, he's that classic tough
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: guy you know, like the teammates rally around him quite
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: a bit. Andy throws as the ball. Well, you know
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: you saw that when he had Jordan Tyson at Arizona State.
• 29:38
  Speaker 9: You wonder how he'll make the leap to the SEC.
• 29:41
  Speaker 9: But he's got a lot of upside. I think we
• 29:44
  Speaker 9: had him number six on our list last year at
• 29:48
  Speaker 9: Arizona State, so you know the talent's there. Actually like
• 29:51
  Speaker 9: his his skill set for the next level too, So
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: I want to see how it develops this year in
• 29:57
  Speaker 9: Baton Rouge. I think he's gonna have a good year.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to seeing how it all works out
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: because you have a completely different offense this year in
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: batteries compared to last year and last year it was
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: just abysmal the things that they were trying to get done.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: They led the country in.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: Yards five yards or less, I believe they led the
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: country and throws behind the line of scrimmage. I mean
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: it was just a lot of screens. It was a
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: lot of short intermediate stuff. There was nothing in the
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: middle of the football field. They used the middle of
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: the football field. I think they were one hundred and
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: twentieth or something, maybe hundred and twenty fifth in the
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: country and middle of the football field between the hashes,
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: and this is in the NFL, these hashes are pretty
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: wide so offensively last year they just it wasn't even
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: the players and Garrett Nesmier being hurt that was a
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: part of it, but just the scheme alone. I think
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: for LSU fans going from what they were watching a
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: year ago to what they're going to be watching now,
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: it doesn't almost even matter who the quarterback is because
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: going to look so completely different.
• 31:02
  Speaker 9: For sure. And you try to picture Levitt in what
• 31:07
  Speaker 9: Trinidad was doing last year, and Trinidad is our number
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: one quarterback, and I you know, like Jacob, when you
• 31:13
  Speaker 9: do these stories that I do every summer, there's those
• 31:16
  Speaker 9: moments of hesitancy where you're kind of like, man, I
• 31:19
  Speaker 9: don't know if this guy's here, you know, I don't
• 31:22
  Speaker 9: know why I should have put him number one or not.
• 31:24
  Speaker 9: I didn't have much hesitation with Trinidad, right because, you know,
• 31:27
  Speaker 9: building off what he did last year. I know there's
• 31:29
  Speaker 9: a new you know, obviously the coordinator switch and a
• 31:32
  Speaker 9: new head coach. But if you envision Levitt doing what
• 31:35
  Speaker 9: Trinidad did, I think it will be okay. You know,
• 31:38
  Speaker 9: you'll throw the ball down the field a little more,
• 31:40
  Speaker 9: you will use the middle of the field. He will
• 31:42
  Speaker 9: be able to use this scrambling ability to extend plays too.
• 31:46
  Speaker 9: And it all comes down. I mean, we've got to
• 31:47
  Speaker 9: see it. Obviously, he had the surgery, and you want
• 31:50
  Speaker 9: to see it on the field. Make sure he's good
• 31:51
  Speaker 9: to go along the way.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, and I don't even argue that Trinidad
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: Chamblas doesn't deserve to start right where y'all have him.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: I mean what he was able to do a year
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: ago and even gotten better in the playoffs and really
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: put the team on his back there a couple of
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: different times, certainly on the Sugar Bowl. Now you know,
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: now with a different offensive coordinator, in a different a
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: little bit of a different scheme, they're going to try
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: to do similar things. But we'll see how that works out.
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: But I am not going to argue that point. I
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: will say this. There is a player that comes in
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: the top five that I thought would be a little
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: bit higher for you, and that's Julian Saying out of
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: Ohio State. When you put him at five, how close
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: was the he to be in you know, maybe even three,
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: or maybe even two on this list because I know
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: you're a big fan of his game.
• 32:33
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you know a dirty secret here. I consulted a
• 32:36
  Speaker 9: couple guys I've worked with. I said, hey, give me
• 32:38
  Speaker 9: your twenty five and then give me your and I'll
• 32:41
  Speaker 9: average him out and the other two guys and I
• 32:43
  Speaker 9: but I said, my name's still on it. I'm going
• 32:45
  Speaker 9: to bump some guys around, right, and then their ballots
• 32:49
  Speaker 9: saying was much lower, and I'm like stumping for him.
• 32:51
  Speaker 9: I said, I think he's the most undersold returning Heisman
• 32:56
  Speaker 9: finalists the scene in a while. Yeah, he's accurate, does
• 32:58
  Speaker 9: It's not It's like he gets penalized. Bobby All probably
• 33:01
  Speaker 9: tat the same thing here in a half hour. He
• 33:04
  Speaker 9: gets penalized more for throwing to Jeremiah Smith and Brandon
• 33:08
  Speaker 9: Innis and Chris Henry Junior Carnell Tate last year. But
• 33:12
  Speaker 9: he's still getting the ball out on time. He still
• 33:14
  Speaker 9: throws the ball down the field. He beat Michigan. It
• 33:17
  Speaker 9: was a rough game against Miami, but there were a
• 33:19
  Speaker 9: lot of reasons for that that weren't Julian saying, and
• 33:23
  Speaker 9: you know, there's things to work on, But he has
• 33:25
  Speaker 9: a bow knicks quality to him in the passing game,
• 33:27
  Speaker 9: maybe doesn't run as much, and there's no reason why
• 33:31
  Speaker 9: he can't be in the top five. I would say
• 33:33
  Speaker 9: this the top six quarterbacks we have. It kind of
• 33:35
  Speaker 9: ends with Dante more there at six. But some people
• 33:38
  Speaker 9: might if you said any one of our top six
• 33:40
  Speaker 9: was number one, I'd be like, Okay, that's fine. You know,
• 33:43
  Speaker 9: whether it's Dante or Sayan or CJ. Carr or Levitt
• 33:47
  Speaker 9: or I mean or arch Yeah, or even Mensa. I mean,
• 33:51
  Speaker 9: I really like that top six.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: Let's go a little bit deeper in the list. I
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: want to go all the way to number twenty two.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: John Mattier before Geometiir hurt his thumb. I mean, we
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: were talking about him being maybe even a Heisman front runner.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: After he hurts the thumb, it's just not the same.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: And it didn't like completely fall off a cliff, But
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: it wasn't a play that we had seen before the
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: thumb injury. That's a really good player down there at
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: number twenty two. Was it the play after the thumb injury?
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: Bill that kind of keeps you from maybe putting him
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: a little bit higher on this list.
• 34:24
  Speaker 9: That's a high upside guy. And yeah, it was two
• 34:27
  Speaker 9: different seasons. You watch John Matier against Michigan, you're talking
• 34:32
  Speaker 9: about a Heisman candidate. You watch Yeohmetier, I think nothing.
• 34:36
  Speaker 9: This is speculation at best, But I mean maybe he
• 34:40
  Speaker 9: came back too soon. Maybe, but even though you know
• 34:43
  Speaker 9: he was capable of playing, it was a little rough
• 34:45
  Speaker 9: when he came back. Did end the season on a
• 34:48
  Speaker 9: couple three hundred yard games, one against LSU, one against
• 34:51
  Speaker 9: Alabama and that loss, And there is some upside to
• 34:54
  Speaker 9: him on that list in that spot. But I mean
• 34:57
  Speaker 9: you look at the overall numbers too. I mean when
• 35:00
  Speaker 9: I got into those, I's like, man, I thought he
• 35:02
  Speaker 9: had more touchdowns than that. I didn't think he had
• 35:05
  Speaker 9: that many interceptions. So there were certainly some ups and downs.
• 35:08
  Speaker 9: I do like that he has our buckle back for
• 35:10
  Speaker 9: another year in that scheme at Oklahoma, and I think
• 35:13
  Speaker 9: he'll play well.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: All right, Bill, give us a player on this list, ketch, Now,
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: I got Bill Bender of the Sporting News. Give us
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: a quarterback on this list that you want to wax
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: poetic about. You want to tell the country about this
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: quarterback because you feel like he's undervalued, he's undersold, he's
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: not getting enough respect. Give us the guy that by
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: the end of the year, if we do this list again,
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: he's going to be on here and everybody in the
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: country's going to know exactly.
• 35:38
  Speaker 9: Why can I cheat And give you a guy that's
• 35:42
  Speaker 9: not on the list that I think I'm gonna miss,
• 35:44
  Speaker 9: They'll just be self aware. Here's a guy that I
• 35:47
  Speaker 9: think Lincoln King hopes that Louisville is not ranked, but
• 35:51
  Speaker 9: he gets from right, he gets two good running backs,
• 35:54
  Speaker 9: they have a good scheme. I could see him climbing
• 35:57
  Speaker 9: onto the list. As far as a guy on the
• 36:00
  Speaker 9: list that I'd like to talk about, you know, Fair
• 36:03
  Speaker 9: Bochmeyer at Byus, thea he's you know used that beat
• 36:07
  Speaker 9: HEEAD team, he'd be a candidate. You know, when your
• 36:09
  Speaker 9: quarterback wears number forty seven and he runs up the
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: middle and he can get twenty carries and he ends
• 36:15
  Speaker 9: the season on a three hundred yard game. I mean,
• 36:18
  Speaker 9: he's right up your alley, Jacobs. So I think he
• 36:21
  Speaker 9: could lead BYU to the playoffs, and if he does that,
• 36:26
  Speaker 9: he'd be in the contention for the Heisman Trophy. He's
• 36:28
  Speaker 9: got like reminds me a little bit, and I hate
• 36:31
  Speaker 9: making the comparison. Sometimes you see you got that style
• 36:34
  Speaker 9: a little bit of t Bow right, and uh, you know,
• 36:36
  Speaker 9: maybe not at that prolific level. And Tebow was a
• 36:39
  Speaker 9: fullback run in the football. But he's he had a
• 36:43
  Speaker 9: really good freshman year and I think he's going to
• 36:44
  Speaker 9: build on it.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: Catch it up, brother, guy, Bill Bender Ubb the Sporting
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: News here on ot B, Bill, give us the quarterback
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: outside of arch Manning, because Arch Maning feels like he
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: would be the answer here with the most pressure of
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: any quarterback on this list to go out there and
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: be as a successful as this list as he can be.
• 37:03
  Speaker 9: Well it's Todd Arnge and CJ. Carr, you know, Notre Dame,
• 37:06
  Speaker 9: Notre Dame. There's a perfect storm here of what he
• 37:10
  Speaker 9: could accomplish. Look, Notre Dame hasn't had a Heisman winner
• 37:13
  Speaker 9: since nineteen eighty seven. It was Tim Brown. I mean
• 37:15
  Speaker 9: that's I think I was nine years old. They haven't
• 37:18
  Speaker 9: won a national championship since the year after that, nineteen
• 37:20
  Speaker 9: eighty eight, and they haven't had a first round pick
• 37:24
  Speaker 9: at quarterback since Brady Quinn. So if CJ. Carr goes
• 37:28
  Speaker 9: out and does what I think he's going to do
• 37:30
  Speaker 9: and leads Notre Dame to the playoff and a deep
• 37:32
  Speaker 9: playoff run, possibly a national title. I think this team's
• 37:35
  Speaker 9: good enough to do that. He could accomplish all of
• 37:39
  Speaker 9: those things. So with that, we've done this before with
• 37:43
  Speaker 9: Ron Paulus and Jimmy Clawson and you name a Notre
• 37:46
  Speaker 9: Dame quarterback in the last thirty years that we've put
• 37:49
  Speaker 9: this pressure on. I think there's a lot on him.
• 37:52
  Speaker 9: And I would say, whoever, they're not on the list,
• 37:54
  Speaker 9: but whoever starts at Alabama between Mac and Keel and Russell,
• 38:00
  Speaker 9: that quarterback is going to face a lot of pressure too,
• 38:02
  Speaker 9: because it's just inherent that Alabama, you know, their last
• 38:06
  Speaker 9: two Jalen and Ty Simpson NFL. I mean, they've got
• 38:10
  Speaker 9: this litany of NFL quarterbacks, So the next guy is
• 38:13
  Speaker 9: going to be expected to be that good.
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: Who do you think is going to win that battle
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: in Tuscaloosa Because we talked about the other day yet,
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, eventually Max's gotta be like, hey, guys, y'all
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: wanted me to come here, like y'all brought me from
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: where we were together to hear. Eventually I got to
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: be the guy.
• 38:34
  Speaker 9: If I had to guess, I think Max will start.
• 38:36
  Speaker 9: But Kaelan will keep that pressure on him because of
• 38:39
  Speaker 9: the talent. This is a tough one because, like you said,
• 38:42
  Speaker 9: Max follows him from Washington, knows the system. Both played
• 38:46
  Speaker 9: pretty well in the spring game, so you don't get
• 38:49
  Speaker 9: a lot of readout of I don't get a lot
• 38:51
  Speaker 9: of readout of spring games anyway unless it's really obvious.
• 38:55
  Speaker 9: But and Russell's got some tremendous talent, So I could
• 38:59
  Speaker 9: see it being a sea a situation where Max starts early,
• 39:03
  Speaker 9: but Russell plays and before they get into the meat
• 39:07
  Speaker 9: of that SEC schedule they kind of come up with
• 39:09
  Speaker 9: the winner.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: All Right, I'm gonna ask you about one more name
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: on this list and a game we're cashing up with
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: our guy, Bill Bender of the Sporting News, and that
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: name is going to be somebody that LSU fans certainly know,
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: and he is somebody that certainly went into college football
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: with a lot of fanfare, and I think it's a big, big.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: Year for him in his development. That is on your list.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: Number twenty three, Bryce Underwood at Michigan. What do you
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: think it looks like for Bryce Underwood there in ann Arbor.
• 39:36
  Speaker 9: There's been a lot written about Bryce Underwood, and I
• 39:38
  Speaker 9: know you've seen it about mixed reports about how it's
• 39:41
  Speaker 9: going this year. Tremendous arm talent didn't get developed last year,
• 39:47
  Speaker 9: and you know there's a lot of reasons for that.
• 39:49
  Speaker 9: I mean, we all saw how the Sharn Moore era ended.
• 39:52
  Speaker 9: But if Jason Beck can do for him what he
• 39:55
  Speaker 9: did for Devin Dan Pierre, I think you could have
• 39:57
  Speaker 9: a huge year. The big thing with me is it's
• 40:01
  Speaker 9: not just Underwood and I'm not making excuses, but they're receivers, man.
• 40:05
  Speaker 9: It's they need the receivers to step up. They need
• 40:08
  Speaker 9: Jamie French to be better at the Texas Transfer, they
• 40:10
  Speaker 9: need Andrew Marshall to take the next step. I recite
• 40:13
  Speaker 9: this stat at will, and it's shocking. Michigan hasn't had
• 40:18
  Speaker 9: a first round receiver in the NFL Draft since Brayln Evans.
• 40:24
  Speaker 9: That's twenty one years. Ohio State has won every year,
• 40:28
  Speaker 9: So like, that's just you've got to have guys to
• 40:30
  Speaker 9: throw too, too. But I think Bryce does need to
• 40:32
  Speaker 9: take that next step. There's some really flashes of brilliant brilliance,
• 40:38
  Speaker 9: but there's definitely some inconsistency that he's going to have
• 40:41
  Speaker 9: to work through this year.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: All Right, there. He is our guy, Bill Bender of
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: the Sporting News. Good enough to join us, Bill, It's
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: always a pleasure, man. We've got to do this more often.
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: I miss you over on the College channel on Serious XM.
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: Since I made the move to the NFL channel, I
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: don't get a chance to catch up with you every week,
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: and we got to change that.
• 40:59
  Speaker 9: Hell, let's change it. Jacobs, great talking to you. I'll
• 41:01
  Speaker 9: see you next time.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: Take care all right, you as well again.

  Speaker 3: What happened?

  Speaker 4: think one passed away from cancer, like maybe within the.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Year the lead singer did.
