• 1:51
  Speaker 5: There in the party lot at First American Megan Trust
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: right off the Highway seventy three. Technically, guys, we're going
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: to dutchdown. Come correct this and get an American flag
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: if that's wrong. Seventy four, right next to high school.
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: All right, we're gonna let them get their internet together quick.
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: Is that they are at the First American Bank and
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: Trust off Highway seventy four. Guysmer Dutchtown. Earlier we were
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: saying that Matt was trying to figure out where does
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: Guysmer end and where does Dutchtown start. We thought you
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: would know the answer.
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: Oh, I don't know the answers even know where Guysmer is.
• 2:36
  Speaker 7: It's all Gonzalez to me.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: Something off of Highway seventy four. But anyways, they're giving
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: away a bunch five hundred American flags. I'm sure they're
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: gone by now, but five hundred American flags. Go get them.
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: Memorial Day coming up. You want a Highway seventy three,
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: My bad Highway seventy three.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: They're on Highway seventy three.
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: And they are just completely disconnected right now. But go
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: get your flags. Memorial Day coming up. If you want
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: to display your American pride loud and proud. I know
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: Taylor does not because he is an American.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: That's not true.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: But I don't even remember what they were talking about
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: before that. Solon, you wanna, Yeah.
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: Your San Antonio Spurs got a battle ahead of him
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: because the Knicks are coming.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I'm just letting you know the.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: Knicks are coming, but I'm not too worried about Okase.
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: Did you see the Knicks game last night?
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: I saw some of it. I saw that they came
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: back from a deficit.
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: There was twenty two with seven minutes to go, came
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: back one by eleven points in overtime. Like I'm a
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: neutral party in this, Like Jake's a Knicks fan, you're
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: a Spurs fan. Yeah, I mean I guess I would
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: lean Pelicans, which means I never have a team to
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: pull forward in the playoffs. Go figure, that's a dangerous team.
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: Like I was talking about it the other day. Jalen
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: Brunson is a top ten player in this league and
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: he plays in the New York market, and no one
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: talks about it. It's insane to me that someone that good,
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: that consistent, and that big of a market doesn't get
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: talked about. Like that team was playing so bad yesterday
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: Cleveland had everything going their way and Jalen Bronson kicked
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: it into another gear. I mean he go, he get
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: is thirty eight points six as his five rebound shoots
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: over fifty percent from the floor. Yeah, he didn't have it.
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: He was one for six from three. That's that's his game.
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: Like he didn't have his a game. He comes in
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: thirty eight points in a must win Game one, because like,
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: if Cleveland takes that game, they now have the advantage
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: of the entire series. I think Nicks are gonna win
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: Game two now after that, this NBA playoffs, Like again,
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: I understand there's not a ton of fans out there
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: of this particular playoff because in Louisiana, when the Pelicans
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: are bad, you don't hate watch like when the Saints
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: are lshu. Baseball is bad. You just kind of shut down.
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: And that's what happens a lot with with Pelicans fans.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: If if you haven't.
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: Tuned in, tune in, because I mean this final four,
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: you got two heavyweights on the other side, Spurs and
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: Spurs and Thunder who have done it multiple time. Then
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: you got two teams just trying to get over the home.
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: Can Cleveland do it without Lebron? They've never been able to.
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: The Knicks have not been good in my lifetime. I
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: just kind of think this is going to be a
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: pretty fun final four.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: I think both of these conference finals are exciting, Like
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: between the Spurs being I would say, back to what
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: they were before in terms of like talent and just
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: being a good overall team and okay see obviously to
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: the defending champs, and it kind of feels like good
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: versus evil. Like I think that a lot of people
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: that are not fans of any of the teams are
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: rooting for the Spurs in this because they just don't
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: want SGA and the Thunder to win. But the Calves
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: and the Knicks is also a good one because of
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: what you said, like the Knicks had to claw their
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: way back from that one. I did catch some of it,
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: and whenever I was watching it, they were down pretty big.
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: And so, I mean, I do think that this is
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: a very exciting time and we got the guys back again.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought we fired him. I thought that's what happened.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: If you want us.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: To go back home, Tato, I mean, I mean, you
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: let us know. I know you're trying to throw shade
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: at the American flight GiB away, but we're gonna be here, Bud.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was out here cooking talking about them there.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: We were talking about what you're talking about, Will Wade,
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: and I don't even know what point we caught out
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: from y'all, Like, I'm not really sure. We're talking about
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: getting players that have NBA logos in the transfer portal
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: next to their LSU logo, So I don't really know
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: what point. I don't know what y'all heard. I don't
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: know what y'all didn't hear. Not really sure, but that's
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: what we were talking about whenever we lost connection there. So
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Count Flynn was really cooking, Oh yeah, spitting well.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: We were talking about.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: This LSU basketball team and the roster that is being
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: built there. Certainly unconventional. We've talked about how we talked
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: about that for the last days, the last couple of weeks,
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: about how it's going to have to be unconventional at
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: this point in time. You're going to have to, you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: reach into the European League, take some players in different
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: from different places around the world. Now, I don't think
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: anybody could have predicted where the last couple of players
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: have come from, and certainly that has been from the NBA,
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: in professional leagues, in the G League.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: When you're looking at r. J.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: Lewis junior and kind of I was laughing yesterday I
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: texted the group about you got you got these graphics
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: that pop up on social media, and the graphic that
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: on three posted kind of shows his progression throughout his
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: career and his his stops in the past was at
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: UMass the logo, then the next two goes to Saint
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: John's and then he goes to the Utah Jazz, you know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: because going to professional basketball.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, then the Boston Celtics. The next stop LSU, Yeah,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: because that makes a lot of sense. And I'm gonna
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: let you do the next one.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Nope, from the Cleveland Cavaliers LSU Tigers.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Cleveland Cavaliers to the l s U Tigers.
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: So we understood that you're going to have to do
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: things a little differently to build this roster out in
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: the way of college athletics. Now you you you can.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: It doesn't look like it's not the same traditional path
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: of course of of anything from going from high school
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: to uh to developing in one program, maybe a transfer
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: here and there.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Now it's it's certainly different.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: And the basketball it can be even more different because
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: you can you can reach all over the globe to
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: find players and bring them in. What's that what's that
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: line of demarcation of like professional sports? I know, the
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: the G League thing is what we talked about yesterday,
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: and you know it's certainly affiliated with NBA, but it's
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: not the NBA. Well, the guy we got yesterday, it's NBA. Yeah, yeah,
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: drafted in the NBA last year, right in the forties
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: forty eight something like that.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Uh No, in the fifties and fifties. Yeah, it was
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: I believe fifty eighth overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers. So
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: so for R. J. Lewis, it is okay, like right
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: now he's not even eligible like it's going to have
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: to be a court case situation. We talked about that
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: a little bit yesterday, so like you're doing it a
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: different way. And honestly, like with the European like the
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: EuroLeague players like that, to me, that's that's not even
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: really the issue because we see players from that league,
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: like they'll play as teenagers in that league and then
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: they'll get drafted into the NBA. So it is kind
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: of like a feeder system into the NBA. I mean
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Luka dancing like he played in the euroleagues, right, and
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: so like that, to me, it's like, okay, well with nil,
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: now you can get those players to come here whatever
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: whatever it is, the ones that got drafted into the
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: NBA draft. Now, we've seen baseball players the MLB get
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: drafted and they decide, okay, well we're not gonna do that,
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: We're gonna go to school. Like that happens all the time.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: We just we've never seen it like this because like
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: once you declare for the draft, you get drafted, then
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: like college is done for you. In baseball, it's not,
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: but in basketball it always has been. And this is
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: obviously something that is very foreign to us in the
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: football world. Because like, you don't come from the high
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: school ranks, you don't come from other leagues. It's like
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: you go to college, you go three years removed from
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: high school, then you get drafted, and then if you
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: go into the draft. But remember, there is a player
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: from Oklahoma, a linebacker that went to the NFL Combine
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: that is trying to go back to Oklahoma. So even
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: in football, this is starting to become a trend because
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: every time you go to court with the NCAA, it
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: feels like they don't want any part of it, and
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: they're like, oh, hey, you got us, you want sure,
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: We're not gonna spend time in court. So it feels
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: like it truly is the wild Wild West. There's no
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: set of rules anymore. Because now we're even seeing it
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: in a game like football where we've never seen anything
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: like this before. Now we've ever seen this before in
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: college basketball until Alabama, you know, did it during last
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: basketball season.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: We we made fun of it. Yeah, we made fun
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: of it because it was stupid.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: So now this is becoming, unfortunately something that's part of
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: a lot of different things.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I know that yet.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: You and I have a little bit of an old
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: school mentality, and we yell at the clouds a lot.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: We tell people to get off our line a lot.
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: I get it when it comes to the transferred, when
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: it comes to paying player, when it comes to different
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: things like you and I are a little bit, you know,
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: a little bit more conservative leaning on those things. We
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: don't want. We don't want college sports to change that much.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: And I get it. It is changing. College athletics is
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: constantly changing. The rules are being rewritten what seems like
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: every single day, or trying at least trying to be rewritten.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: Now it's going to it remains to be seen on
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: what is actually going to stick and who's going to
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: be eligible. And I get that people like might might
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: think we're a little bit of a couple.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Of unks over here.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: Sometimes I get it, but I think this is a
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: step too far. I hate this. I don't like anything
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: about this. It makes us LSU is kind of like
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: athletics in general has kind of like been villainized a
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: little bit, and we've embraced that from the football aspect, right,
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: We've embraced being the villain. And everybody wanted to come
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: at us from a football standpoint because of because of
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: Lane coming over and like all the drama that happened
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: with that, we don't need to revisit that.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: This is, to me a different level of things.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: When you're trying to change college athletics to the point
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: of making people that were failed professionals and maybe this guy,
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: I mean he's trying to last year, he's not. You
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: can't even consider him a failed professional. He's a professional
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: basketball player that was drafted to the NBA a year ago.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: And what that's that would be the second round. Yeah,
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: now he's going to come back and commit to play
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: college again.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: This is terrible. I don't I hate this. It feels
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: like the the r. J.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Lewis one is the one though, because like this player drafted, okay,
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: just last year, you feel like you want to go
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: play college basketball out of the year league, Okay, like.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: R J.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: Lewis has been like with multiple organizations, you know what
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. And I mean, look, he's a hell of
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: a basketball Player's a Big East Player of the Year.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: Like if he ends up in an LSU uniform, you're
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: getting like eighteen a night from him.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: Like he's a hell of a basketball player, a good
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: obviously a proven good college basketball three years and being
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: on multiple franchises in the NBA, Like that's what sets
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: that one apart a little bit more for me, because
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: like the other player, like you get drafted, you don't
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: really play for them, You don't do the summer league stuff,
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: Like you still go back to the euro League and
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: they're gonna watch you. Like that happens in the NBA
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: all the time, Like we're gonna draft you, but go play.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: In Europe and we're just gonna watch you. We have
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: your rights and then you know, we'll eventually bring you
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: over here. But no, but like not when you've played
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: like and you've been in that.
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: I think both of them, I think both of them
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: are stinky. Yes, this whole thing stinks, and I don't
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: like that LSU is involved with it. Now I get it,
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: like your backs against the wall, your hands are tad.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: You gotta be unconventional, and I'm all about being unconventional,
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: but I don't this is just uh, I don't know.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: It doesn't feel good to me, does not feel good
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: And I don't know how everybody else, what everybody else's
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: opinion on fans out there.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: I haven't really heard like a strong this is always
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: one way or the other on this, I think because
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: it is so new, because like we just really haven't
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: seen a roster like this. Like people are trying to
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: figure out how they feel because they want basketball to
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: be back, but they also like, like we're bringing up here,
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: like guys that have you know, been drafted into the
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: professional ranks and you know looking and there's other coaches
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: right now that are calling out will Waite and like
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: there's a report and again like nothing's verified that Tom
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: Izzo Michigan State is not very happy with will Waite
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: and he's had some comments, and so it is certainly
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: the biggest talking point in college basketball right now.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: It just feels a little dirty right now. It just
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: feels like what like.
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: I don't wish it was I wish it wasn't us
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: that was trying to to do make these moves and
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: change the face of college athletics in this way. If
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: you're a professional athlete, you're a professional athlete. You shouldn't
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: be able to go back to college. I don't care
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: if it's your I don't care. If it's the G League,
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: I don't care where if you're affiliated drafted to the
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: next So if you're drafted the next level and decide
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: to forego the rest of your college career and go
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: and chase that dream. You're a professional athlete. You should
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: not be allowed to come back and play in a
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: college uniform, have to go back into classes and take
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: and be a student athlete like they Okay, I get it.
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: You can also make the argument in college, well, they
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: are pro athletes now, they're student athletes that get paid
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: and they're contract employees. They're not like employees, they're contract
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: workers for the university. They're on scholarship that go to
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: school that are we believe, still required to maintain a
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: certain GPA to be eligible. Now we don't know if
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: that is still the case, but we think that is
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: the case.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: I I would.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: Like I would, And I know you're you're trying to
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: be a little reserved and not say it, but we've
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: never seen it before. We've never seen it like reason
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: because they're professional athletes.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: So like, I don't I know how this is going
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: to play out, Like I don't know if these players
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: are even going to play at LSU. Like that's the
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: point too, Like right now r J. Lewis is not eligible.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: But to me, like I was I was adamant about
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: like when when the whole lane kept in situation has happened.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: It's like I get it. Everybody embracing the villain.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: That's a different story. It's so different thing.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: And I and I was a little bit against it
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: because like I have because I expect more, like I
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: expect the best, Like I expect people to respect us
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: and fear us at the same time, not hate us.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: Right right, this to me and this is fresh, right,
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: So I don't have all the facts. I don't and
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: admittedly so, but on the surface, this is embarrassing.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: The l issue.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: And it's not I mean, we've just talked about two players,
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: Like there's other players that are twenty six years old.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: This is embarrassing. Now, maybe it all works out and
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: it's all good. Like I'm just saying as a this
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: is fresh to us right now. Yeah, this is very fresh.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: We don't have all the facts, we don't know everything,
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: but on the surface of everything happening, it's a little
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: bit embarrassing.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: It is like it is certainly something that I never
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: thought we'd see. It is something that I keep going
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: back to R. J. Lewis, And maybe it's because like
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: doing college radio on serious for so long, like I
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: just talked about him in great details because his biggiest
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: player of the year, and like when he was gone,
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: he was gone. And like to even like think about
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: talking about it as a player in college seems ludicrous
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: to me.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: Right now, I'm telling you, congratulations on getting the NFL job.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: You got out of the college sports at the right time.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: And can I tell you, and you know this, that's
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: ninety five percent of the reason that I did it,
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Because it's because it's because there's there's thirty two teams.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: Like that's that's intriguing and not you know, every sport
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: and all the teams I have, there's thirty two teams,
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: and there's rules, there's a salary cap, rules, there's a CBA,
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: and so like when I was making my final decision
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: on moving from college radio to NFL radio, that was
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: the biggest thing. It just was because there's so much
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: more structure and if you don't abide to the shield,
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: they'll move on from you.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: No for sure, next yeah, no doubt.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they don't care who you are, they really don't.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: And that's why like things like this, like I don't
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: even know how to like talk about it because like
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: you have these players, one's not even right now eligible
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: to play. He might be down the road, you don't
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: really know. And just the way this roster's kind of
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: coming together, and again like you had to be creative,
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: you did because of when you got the job, you
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: had zero players. We're asking are you going to get players?
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: But like, I don't even know what it's truly in
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: its totality even gonna look like where they're gonna come from.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Who's going to be eligible to play, who's not going
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: to be eligible to play? What if you have a
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: situation where all of a sudden you go to court
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: in three players that you had that you were counting
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: on aren't ready to go, and then that sets you back,
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Like that's a real possibility.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: Like growing up and like we all get annoyed by
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: rules and laws and things we got to live by,
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: but they're very necessary. You you hate them until they're gone.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: This is like what we're doing right now is kind
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: of like the purge no rules for a little bit,
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: no laws, trying to live lawless out there in the
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: world of college athletics.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: I like rules, I like laws, I like everybody having
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: to play by the same set of them and not
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: continuously trying to rewrite them.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: Don't know where college sports goes from here, but it's
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: a mess. And you know, we talked about it at
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: football season, how college football is drunk right now? Well, well,
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: what's happening right now in college basketball? I would say
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: college football is just absolutely wasted face. Yeah, And I
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: don't know. I don't know where you go, how you
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: fix it. That's not my job. All I know is
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: I can just sit here and continue to yell.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: I think I'm and look, I'm gonna be straight up honest,
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Like Will Wade's my guy, Like I love Wade, had
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: a great relationship with him, and I'm very intrigued whenever
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: we get a chance to hear from him, like how
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: this is all coming together, Why it's coming together? Like
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: I'm going to reserve some of my judgment until that happens.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: And I completely understand why you feel the way that
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: you do as well, Like I completely understand it. And
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: I would love to know how most of the fans,
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: you know, kind of feel about this because it's so
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: unorthodox and we just never seen it before. So there's
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: still a lot that's gonna happen. There's still, like I,
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: I don't know how many more players are going to get.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: They've gotten some from college, they've got some from the EuroLeague,
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: they've got some from the G League, and so we'll
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: have to see. But I do want to hear from Will. Wait, Hey,
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: here's what it is, Here's why I did it, Here's
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: what we're gonna do moving forward. Because I was excited
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: as anybody and still excited about Will Wade being the
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: lshuehead basketball coach. So a lot still to come, a
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: lot still to happen. You got to figure out who's
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: actually in, who's actually out. But certainly unorthodox to say
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: the least. We are twenty two minutes into this segment,
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: so we will take a break. We have got more
• 22:22

• 24:07
  Speaker 8: of me.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Hey, everybody at tracking me.

• 24:14
  Speaker 8: in the spot, two, the better they ain't none of them.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Ain't none of them gets up, but it's pretty young
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: thing that was working on the way at the top
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: on the way at the time.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: All right, welcome back in OTB and we are here
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: live at First American Bank and Trust. And as you
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: can probably see on YouTube and here there in the
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: background starting to pick it up. A lot of people
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: here in this parking lot, a lot of flags.
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: Love America out here getting old glory. So stop by
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: First American Bank of Trust right here Highway seventy three
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: in Guysmer slash Dutchtown whatever it is, it's right here
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: by Dutchtown High School.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: That's what I know. So come get it. Pulling the
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: you can pull in the in the parking lot.
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: Here.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: Michelle Southern's out there with the greatest hat I think
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: these eyes have ever.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Led eyes on.
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: It's a bald eagle with an American flag top hat on.
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: There's somebody out there they say, well, look, this is
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: one of those windows that has like the printed tint
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: on it.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: You can see out, but you can't see in. Yeah,
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: but if you look at an angle, guess what it is.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: An American flag. It's an American flag. American flag tint
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: on this thing. So I can't really see clear out.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: I can see a little bit, so I saw the hat.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Can you imagine the face Taylor makes every time he
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: drives by this.
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: He probably like opens the window and tries to like
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: fart out the window or something towards it.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: I was hoping you didn't, but you did.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: But he probably does. That's what I'm saying.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: And it's great because there is about a five second
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: delay between us and studio, so you can't defend himself,
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: which is excellent.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: You know, he's just punching the air right now.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Oh he's got the fists.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: Oh thet Arthur fists right now, for sure, no question
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: about it, No question about it.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: Is dutchdown in a real city then, guys, there's just touchdowns
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: it like known as just touchdown.
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: Again.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Is there actually a city limit?
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: You keep asking Cassie and I, like, we're from here,
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: I'm asking some New Orleans.
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: I'm from Shreveport. I'm asking the work. I always thought
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: it was like at a city limit, but I don't know.
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: Maybe it's just a part of town, part of guysbern.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: Cole call Austin Bane and if that starts, like where
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: does Gonzales start?
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Other side of interstate. We're gonna figure this Out'm gonna
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: look up a.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: Map, if there was only a tool that you could
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: use to look.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Up Sometimes maps aren't that clear.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, my goodness, Well, regardless of what city we're
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: in and where it starts and where it ends again,
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: traffic is certainly picking up. They've given away a ton
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: of American flags. It is a very cool deal, and
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: they got five hundred and again, once they're gone, they
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: are gone. So we're going to play a little bit
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: of catch up here. So only a couple a minute
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: segment because we went along with the Will Wade and
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: the way this roster is being built for LSU basketball,
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: and it's a little bit of back and forth inside
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: the chat. And yeah, they probably if all these players play,
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: they probably are going to be really good. Like that's
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: the own court stuff. We're talking more about the the
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: objects of the off the court. And like one of
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: the questions that I would have is, Okay, if you
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: do it this way this year, how do you set
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: it up for next year? Like is this a one year? Hey,
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: we took this job, we had no players. LSU was bad,
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: bad over the last couple of years. This is the
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: only way we could do it. So this is how
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: we're going to do it this year. And then you
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: kind of go back to more of how we know
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: Will Wade to be able to format his roster, and
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: again he's gonna do He's gonna do big things in
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: the portal. He just is. That's who you know Will's
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: going to be. And then also you bring in two
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: high school recruits because remember, like he was elite at
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: high school recruiting when he was at LSU. Like, think
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: about all the players that he got here that we
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: were surprised that they got here. And you can make
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: all the jokes you want, I'm just telling you Will's
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: elite at high school recruiting. And certainly he's going to
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: be in the transfer portal nil era. So I wonder
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: if this is like a one year here's what it's
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: going to be them we'll hit reset. As far as
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: getting back to we've got time now in the portal,
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: We've got the job in the portal. We've had a
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: little bit of success on the court.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: And you say he's going to be successful in the portal,
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: and I hope that he is, and he should be,
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: history says, but like at a certain point, like you're fighting.
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: The more enemies you make, the more people you fight
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: in the negative recruiting and all that, like that opinion.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: Take you do you do?
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: I mean there're all of that everything.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: That you're round to one thing though, dollars and cents.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: I like, I'm not saying I want it that way.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but and that and that is going to help
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: and it's going to work. But also if one offered
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: me one thing and another team's offer you the same.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: Think think about Rick Patino, and there's people.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: That can play on your the even playing field with
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: that life.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: But think about Rick Patino and where like what he's
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: done in his career, people still play for him at
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: Saint John's. Again, this isn't me saying like I agree
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: with it. I'm just saying, dollars and cents talk.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: And yeah they do. But there's going to be.
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: There's people on the equal playing field, right, And so
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: I still believe that it could jump up, like a
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: reputation is going to affect you one way or the
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: other at some point, and people are you keep giving
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: people ammunition to go against you and to negatively recruit
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: against you, and the dollar and cents are somewhat equal. Yeah,
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: it's going and it's going to negatively effect at some
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: point in the recruiting game.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: So like, yes, he's got a history.
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: Of being awesome in the portal and being awesome at
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: recruiting high school kids, but he's also never recruited probably
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: against this many people that are going to be negatively
• 30:24
