  Speaker 4: This is what Gohadan yoused it.
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: I didn't.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, go ahead and step away from I'm just excited
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: about will Waite.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Tell y'all what do we talk about earlier?
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: Like, if you have an athletic department, You've got Will Wade,
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: you got Kim Moulkey, you got Lane Kiff, and you
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: got Jay Johnson, I mean other other coaches. So if
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: you're a coaching other sport, like trust me when I say,
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: like you're doing what you're supposed to be doing.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: As well. What do we talk about often?
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: You really had one program that didn't have what everybody
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: else in the athletic department had, and we could go
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: to all the Olympic sports, we could go to basically
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: every sport, basically every sport on campus was where they
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: needed to be or they were over that line.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: Now football has got to get back to that.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: But you've won championships, you still got the buzz, you
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: got lin Koff, and YadA, YadA, YadA, y'all know that
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: you had one. So now this puts everybody on their
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: front foot. There's nobody on their hills right now. And
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: now it comes with a lot of expectation. It comes
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: with a lot of dollars and cents. But this is
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: who you want to be, which I can appreciate as
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: an alum. Doing everything you can it tried to be
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: the best that you possibly can. And if LSU wasn't
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: the villain already, which they were, we are now fully
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: we're Darth Vader, and that's okay. I don't really care
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: about anybody else. I don't even have to pretend anymore.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: I don't do college radio anymore. I do NFL. I
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: don't even have to act like it anymore. There's all
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: l s U for me. Everybody else sucks.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: I don't care period.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: Tigers are good. That's all I care about. Yeah, I
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: don't care about nobody else. If you hate us, that's great.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: All the things we're supposed to be doing.
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: So let's see what I'm saying.
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: Give me all the black hats.
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: Don't write any checks that your as skin cash. Well
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: we're cashing them.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:49
  Speaker 10: So that's that's the thing, right, Like Jay just mentioned said,
• 10:52
  Speaker 10: done give it one thing missing as far as like
• 10:56
  Speaker 10: elite coaches that energize fan bases, there was one piece
• 10:59
  Speaker 10: missing to that puzzle. Will wait is that final piece, Like, look,
• 11:03
  Speaker 10: whatever you think of Will Wade as a coach, I
• 11:05
  Speaker 10: don't know why you wouldn't like him as a coach.
• 11:06
  Speaker 10: You want to hell of a lot of games here,
• 11:08
  Speaker 10: But Will Wade's going to bring excitement back to the
• 11:10
  Speaker 10: p MAC.
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: And for someone that.
• 11:13
  Speaker 10: Watches every game and it's watched his team lose a
• 11:15
  Speaker 10: lot every game the last three years, if nothing else
• 11:18
  Speaker 10: is going to be exciting, If nothing else, it's gonna
• 11:20
  Speaker 10: be like you can walk in that.
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: P MAC and be like gonna be butts in the seats.
• 11:25
  Speaker 8: There's gonna be butting the seats. Maybe not.
• 11:27
  Speaker 10: They all gonna be standing up Will Wade's first game,
• 11:30
  Speaker 10: he's gonna he's gonna bring the energy here, man, And they're.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Gonna be playing breaking Yeah.
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: They're not gonna be playing neck. They'll be playing breaking.
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: The Yeah, break your freaking neck.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: Honestly, we all had a heart attack because it was
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: it was a hard, hard hard Tyler was listening like,
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: please do it.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Please. I still don't think Taylers Chick even knows or
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: remembers that he did that.
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: But one, oh man, I can't wait. I can't wait.
• 12:05
  Speaker 9: I can't wait for like the people that have like
• 12:07
  Speaker 9: just been like it's impossible, he's not Why would he
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: come back? Why would he do that? All right, you're
• 12:13
  Speaker 9: about to cope so hard. Bro, You're about to cope
• 12:16
  Speaker 9: so hard.
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: Get your popcorn.
• 12:22
  Speaker 10: Imagine like Lane Kiffin's year one sports well, yeah he
• 12:32
  Speaker 10: played California girls out of the well.
• 12:35
  Speaker 9: Wade's getting one, Kid's gonna get one, and like l
• 12:38
  Speaker 9: s U was just winning Natty's next season, all of them.
• 12:43
  Speaker 10: I also think that the SEC might get a little
• 12:46
  Speaker 10: bit easier next year in the basketball front, I don't
• 12:51
  Speaker 10: know why. I don't know why NATO's wouldn't take the
• 12:53
  Speaker 10: U n C job. I think, well, I think NATO
• 12:56
  Speaker 10: should take the U n C.
• 12:58
  Speaker 8: Job for that too.
• 13:00
  Speaker 10: Yeah, there's some guys up for it. But I mean,
• 13:03
  Speaker 10: if you're offered, I don't know why you wouldn't take it.
• 13:04
  Speaker 10: To the SEC. We'll see, maybe he does stay, it
• 13:07
  Speaker 10: might be a little bit easier. But yeah, I mean
• 13:09
  Speaker 10: Lank kivid you know when his when he got here,
• 13:11
  Speaker 10: I mean that that that blew up right, like everybody
• 13:13
  Speaker 10: met him at the airport and all this.
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: Well, wait, it's gonna be similar.
• 13:16
  Speaker 10: I mean, think about the people that have been begging
• 13:19
  Speaker 10: for this guy to come back for four years now,
• 13:20
  Speaker 10: like it's it's gonna be big done.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there was people that.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: Watched LSU basketball, that spent money to go to LSU basketball,
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: that didn't miss LSU basketball because.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: Of Will Wade.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and those people weren't there before they left. After
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: those people are going to come back.
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 13:39
  Speaker 9: So I mean we had a student section when Will
• 13:43
  Speaker 9: Wade was here, Crawfish pod and everything.
• 13:45
  Speaker 10: You didn't have to bribe them with a free T shirts.
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and say please stay in the whole game and.
• 13:50
  Speaker 10: Say you can't get them till the third quarter. Now,
• 13:52
  Speaker 10: I mean because that happens.
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, it is a good move, but you shouldn't
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: have to make it.
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: No T shirt like a free one.
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: If it's free, it's me.

  Speaker 4: Always excited to catch up.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: Where the next guest every single Thursday here on OTV,
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: the head baseball coach of your LSU Tigers, Jay Johnson,
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: joins us.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Now, coach, we always appreciate Tom, hope you're doing well,
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: doing great. How are you guys doing fantastic?
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: Always, like I said, excited to talk a little LSU
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: baseball with you, and like we always talk about, coach.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: You just faced the number of seven team in the
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: country last weekend. Going to face another ranked team coming
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: up this weekend. But this one is a completely different
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: team now, a team you know very well, but they
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: got a little bit of a different style with them,
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: and so you know, Kentucky kind of brings some different
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: challenges Yeah, no.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Doubt Nick is one of the best coaches in the country,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: if not the best, in my opinion. He's done a
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: great job there, you know, basketball school, and yeah got
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: him to Omaha's a baseball program played in the Super
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Regional here agains stuff a few years ago. They have
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: a good niche do a good job evaluating players in
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: the portal, and good coaching staff. So they this is
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: kind of one of these years. They feel like it's
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: their year or two. So good challenge. Old team looking
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: forward to it, like I feel like this will be
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: another good test. Obviously, there's certain things in the series
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: we need to do well to be successful, and we'll
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: have the team lined up to do that.
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: Coach A little bit off track of just strictly baseball
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: ont here's kind of athletics in general. So I don't
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: expect you for you to kind of know this, but
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: a lot's kind of been happened in this morning on
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: the LSU athletic world from some maybe maybe only a
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: coaching front and some other sports. What does it mean
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: for you to be at a school that cares so
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: much and gives you all the you know, the resources
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: that it does to be successful.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I say this all the time. You know,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I had a great job at Arizona. I mean, if
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: you ask me young J Johnson baseball coach, growing up
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: with a profession, what was probably my dream job, I
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: would have said the University of Arizona, and that would
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: have been one thousand percent true. And you know, when
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: this deal came up and how it came up, it
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: was like, okay, if I don't do this, like this
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: is probably it. You know, I'm still relatively young, forty
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: four at the time, like I'm probably you know, just
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: living my career out at Arizona, which would have been great,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: would have been happy. We'd been to Omaha a couple
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: of times. But I would just view this as the
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: pinnacle of college baseball, you know, other sports aside. You know,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I remember obviously watching you guys and Sugar Bowl win
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: in a national championship and kind of a random deal,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: like I love college football. I went to the Oklahoma
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: LSUS to my final game in twenty nineteen. That was
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: my Christmas present for my wife, and we went there
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: and I looked out on the field and saw Joe
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Burrow and those guys running around and the size of
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: the teams and go and I isn't going to be
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: good for the Sooners and so like, yeah, I just
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: it was like a one of one type deal. Coach
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Bertman obviously you know legend, you know. So I love it,
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: and you know, Scott was great to be here. A
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: verge is great, you know obviously, you know we're in
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: an exciting time right now with you know, women's basketball
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: try to get back to the final four and they're
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: starting to spring football and so it's it's it's truly awesome.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and coach you and I have talked about this before.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: I mean, you're you're exactly right, and it's like one
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: of those jobs like you never think it's going to happen.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: Then when it does, even if you're incredibly happy, like
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: you go and you accept it, if you're willing to
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: accept that challenge of like of what it is, and
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: you know it's sometimes difficult, like it's not for everybody,
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: and so that is something that we've talked about, Like
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: you have to understand like what that means when you
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: take a job like this, Every single weekend is going
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: to be a packed stadium. It's going to be a
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: packed house and the thing We've also talked about, you know, LSU,
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: regardless of the record, you're gonna get everybody's best shot.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. And you know, I get asked about
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: that all the time from my friends out west, because
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: people don't really care all that much about college baseball
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: out there. Some great teams and great programs and certainly
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: great players, but there's just not the interest level. And
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: I always talk about it all the time, Like, you know,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: the best part of this job is, like I'll just say,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: a game we lost last Friday night, It's like we
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: have the basis loaded in the seventh inning and crowds
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: going crazy and behind the team and.
• 21:20
  Speaker 12: All of that stuff.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Like you don't don't get that very many places, maybe
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: like four or five in the entire country, And you know,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: to get people that care about like what you're doing
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: is awesome, you know. And as far as the challenge part,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: like I'm pretty simple, Like to me, it all comes
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: back to just like executing, you know, executing recruiting well,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: executing player development well, executing game fundamental as well. And
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: you know, for the most part, we've done a good
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: job of that hit a little bit of a speed
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: bump with it. Here recently. But you know the good
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: part is, you know you have so many of these
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: good teams that you're gonna play, it's like you can
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: make up the ground. And that's what we're looking for
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: a good opportunity this weekend.
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: OK.
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: I know, you know about great expectations and exceeding those expectations,
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: And somebody that came into the season this year with
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: a lot of expectations was Case and Evans, and you know,
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: kind of toss up whether he was kind of feeling
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: the pressure or kind of stepping into that role the
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: right way, but certainly last week he had an amazing
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: out And what did that mean for your team and
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: your staff to see him go out there and execute
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: the way that y'all probably believe that he could.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a dude, like and like I did this
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: for my own like to put it in perspective for
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: maybe everybody else, But like, he's pitched in twenty four
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: games here I think over last year and this year,
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: and we won twenty one of those twenty four games.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Like that's remarkable. And you know, these guys do come
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: here to develop too, Like if they were a finished product,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: then they wouldn't get here and we've certainly lost plenty
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: of guys in the draft, you know, out of high school,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: particularly the last couple of years. You know, getting casing
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: through that was a big deal, you know, able to
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: extend and the regional final last year against Little Rock,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: you know, one of the best pitch games, you know,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I've ever had a player pitch, and obviously in Omaha
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: against UCLA. And then there's still a different deal in
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: doing that every week. And you know, I believe it
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: was our job to get him lined up correctly. And
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: you know, as we've been able to see him more
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: in this role, like we've done a better job of
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: helping him be lined up correctly. And I think last
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Thursday was the byproduct of that. Now this Kentucky team
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: will provide like a little bit of a different challenge
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: for that. But I have full confidence in him, Like
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: that's start, you know, our guy, like you know, think
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: about you know, you guys as players and the great
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: football players that have come through the program, whether it's
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: been like the Honey Badger, you know whoever, Like he's
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: that for LSU baseball and I wouldn't wouldn't rather have
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: anybody else out there on Fridays catch up.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: With LSU had baseball coach Jay Johnson here on OTV.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: Coaches stayed with the rotation, and look, you know, we're
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: never going to ask you to give us anything. It's
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: going to give the other team an advantage. So we
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: don't need names here. But when you do have a
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: starter that's going to be out for a little bit,
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: it's not like the MLB ranks where you can go
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: down to the miners. You bring somebody up for a
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: couple of spots, starts, and they send them back when
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: you're guys ready to go. So when you have to
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: find somebody to help you out get through a couple
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: of weeks, whatever the situation might be, what is that
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: conversation with kind of the rest of your staff, Because
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: it's not as easy as hey, let's go down the miners.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: This guy's ready to go, he can give us something.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: Because in college baseball, you've got three guys and you
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: hope they stay healthy. Sometimes it doesn't work out. So
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: when you have that situation, kind of what is the
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: thought process with you and your staff?
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know we have been knock on wood
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: pretty fortunate here for the last couple of years. Since
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: twenty four, since Kochievsky has been here, We've been able
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: to keep those guys pretty healthy, and hopefully that's a
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: trend that continues. Get a little speed bump here with Cooper,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: you know, and he's given us, you know, twelve to
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: fifteen outs on the weekend and kept us in all
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: six games, and he's pitched, but you know, he's obviously
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: not going to be available here for a few weeks,
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: so we're still working through that. I mean, not rocket science.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Case is going to start tomorrow and then William's going
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: to start one of the games either Saturday or Sunday,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: and really proud of his development. And then we have
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: the pieces to like overcome this, you know, Like when
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: I look at our pitching staff, it's about lining them
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: up correctly because they have the talent to execute.
• 25:25
  Speaker 12: You know.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: On the position player side, we need a couple guys
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: to like step up and and you know and play good,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: you know, and I think there's more questions on that
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: side of the ball, But on the pitching side, we
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: can overcome this.
• 25:37
  Speaker 12: You know.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: When you talk about you know, guys like Sharon Gidri, Rizzy,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Ethan ploggs, Anti Garcia, Cooper Williams, Marcus Pauz Rick and
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Zion Theopolis through two good gay or two good innings,
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: you know. The other night, benj Font note like we
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: can overcome this, and you know it takes a little planning,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: you know, and that's okay. You know, like I said,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: when you're the coach the University of Nevada, not at LSU,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: you're doing this every Tuesday of your life, so and
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: usually every Sunday of your life. So it's actually not
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: that foreign to me.
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: Guys.
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: Let's talk a little bit about the gloves and on
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: the defensive side of the ball. So there's probably been
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: some moments where you'd like for them to play a
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: little bit better, and you talked about the improvements. You go,
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: you're playing a really good Kentucky team, maybe like to
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: play a little small ball.
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: How do you think the matchups?
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: What's those conversations like with your defensive players going into
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: a series like this.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're actually as soon as I hang up with you, guys,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: we're having a staff meeting and making sure practice is
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: really aligned to you know, take care of all that
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: they do. You know, I watched the last five games
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: that they played series against oul Miss game against Murray
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: State last night, and you know, you got to get
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: the leadoff guy off bait because they could present a
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: lot of problems. The good news is, you know, at
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: least in terms of Case and William, those guys field
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: their position pretty well, which is really important. They've thrown strikes,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: which is important. And then on defense, you know, it's
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: like we're still kind of working that out. You know,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Trad Carraway has done a nice job. We moved them
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: over to second base from third base and several games
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: and that's actually helped us tighten up the defense. John's
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: made some plays over at third and so we it's
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: just part of the deal. And you know, it's it's tough, man.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: It's like it's just always go back to football. Like
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you know LSU wasn't too pumped when you
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: guys left for the NFL draft, going like, hey, we
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: got this guy and this guy you know, plugging him
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: in and defensively like Michael braswell third, Danny at second,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: like those guys were unbelievable, you know, and Jared at first,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: like that's the best infield in school history. So you know,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: I expected a little bit of a challenge with this,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: and we we just got to keep getting them better.
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: Hey, coach, we always appreciate your time. I appreciate you
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: hopping on with us. I'm putting this out in front
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: of you. It's down the road. But on May the fourteenth,
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: when the Gators come to town, if you need a
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: couple of old meatheads that are Gator haters to get
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: the crowd ready to go before the game, you just
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: let us to know and we'll be.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: There for you.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Hey, two tickets under j Johnson count on it.
• 28:10
  Speaker 8: I will call let's go.
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: Absolutely. Hey, coach, we can't thank you enough. We always
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: look forward to the conversation. We'll see at the box
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: this weekend.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Guys, sounds great.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: Have a good day, all right, you as well?
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: Jay Johnson, LSU head baseball coach, good enough to join
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: us every single week here on OTV. I mean they
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: can be pretty good tickets probably right, Oh yeah, don'll go.
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: Hey and Mango, if you're listening, can we get a
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: couple of jerseys, one that has fifteen on it, one
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: that has eighteen. We don't want our names on them,
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: we want Gator hater on the back. If you could
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: get that done. And we'll make sure we get the
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: crowd ready. Oh yeah, Jay Flynn family of five, Hester

  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, it's a section. We'll take a section. It's
• 29:03

• 29:14
  Speaker 4: those people are. What are you doing?
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: You'll spend a lot for those thick or they nobody
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: spent a lot.
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: I think they did. They just like the feel like
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: probably like company seats.
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, probably they're the champion club ones.

  Speaker 4: Yeah, because like the stadium will be packed in the outfield,
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: down the.

• 32:51
  Speaker 5: Chef, what's up, brother, How we're doing, how we're living
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: doing fantastic? Always our pleasure. Glad to have you on.
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: And uh, I'm actually gonna start with one for me
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: and not the chat. And we've talked a little bit
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: about this before. But when you're trying to do the
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: right thing when it comes to eating, when you're trying
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: to you know, change some things in your life and
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: make sure that you're staying on top of it. They
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: make it really difficult. They make it difficult because eating
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: healthy is far more expensive than when you eat like trash.
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: What would you recommend if somebody's trying to maybe change
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: the way they eat, trying to eat a little bit
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: more clean and maybe some ways where it's still going
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: to cost more, but it's not going to leave you.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: In the hole.
• 33:37
  Speaker 12: I think start with smuggles, you know what I mean,
• 33:39
  Speaker 12: Like maybe maybe start with instead of buying canned or
• 33:43
  Speaker 12: frozen veggies, just start with fresh veggies. And that's expensive
• 33:46
  Speaker 12: enough as it is, to be honest with you, you know,
• 33:48
  Speaker 12: like I don't going full on organic is even worse. Right, Like,
• 33:52
  Speaker 12: if you're trying to go from commodities to organic, that's
• 33:57
  Speaker 12: an expensive move. You can also jake, you know, to
• 34:00
  Speaker 12: start buying local and so for instance, a tomato that
• 34:05
  Speaker 12: was harvested from a commercial place or a tomato that
• 34:09
  Speaker 12: you get from the farmer's market. A tomato that was
• 34:12
  Speaker 12: harvested from the commercial place was picked while it was
• 34:14
  Speaker 12: still green, so it has it fully nutritionally developed, and
• 34:18
  Speaker 12: it's set on a shelf until they're ready to sell it,
• 34:20
  Speaker 12: and then they ethylene gass it so that ethylene gas
• 34:24
  Speaker 12: will turn it red and make it look like it's
• 34:27
  Speaker 12: a ripe tomato that it's been ye ripe, but it
• 34:30
  Speaker 12: doesn't actually have the full nutritional value that it's supposed to.
• 34:34
  Speaker 12: Whereas if you go to a farmer's market, those tomatoes
• 34:37
  Speaker 12: stay until they're ripe. The farmer picks it when it's
• 34:39
  Speaker 12: fully developed and it has more nutritional value to it. So,
• 34:43
  Speaker 12: you know, small things like that, you know, and it's
• 34:46
  Speaker 12: educating yourself too, you know, like where you get your
• 34:48
  Speaker 12: stuff from is important, So I don't know, that's if
• 34:53
  Speaker 12: I would start with small goals, you know, just educating
• 34:56
  Speaker 12: yourself on where to find the healthiest foods because you're
• 35:00
  Speaker 12: you know, you took the words out of my mouth.
• 35:02
  Speaker 12: It's an expensive turn man. Food is expensive, brother, you know,
• 35:06
  Speaker 12: Like I could go on all day rant and rave
• 35:09
  Speaker 12: about how you know, like fast food is one of
• 35:11
  Speaker 12: those things do like you can eliminate fast food from
• 35:14
  Speaker 12: your diet. And I think it too is it's how
• 35:17
  Speaker 12: you shop, right, like the way they design grocery stores
• 35:22
  Speaker 12: that's meant to hold you in place and sell you
• 35:25
  Speaker 12: things that you don't want right, And there's actually a
• 35:28
  Speaker 12: psychology to the grocery store that you're supposed to only
• 35:31
  Speaker 12: shop outside of the grocery store, whether fruits and vegetables
• 35:33
  Speaker 12: and fresh meats are and don't get sucked into the
• 35:36
  Speaker 12: middle of the grocery store where all these sweets and
• 35:39
  Speaker 12: sugars and all that stuff is.
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: But they're so shiny and they look so delicious.
• 35:45
  Speaker 12: Great, yeah, yeah, chef.
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: So you're you're cooking for athletes every single day, multiple
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: a lot of people, a lot of people that want
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: to take care of their body. So you're cooking good,
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: clean food all the time. But when an athlete comes
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: lu sure, they're adults and they can make their own
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: choices as well. When it comes to the types of food,
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: Like how many different diet fads have you had to
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: individualize or make like a keto carnivore?
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: What are mos? Like you've done everything?
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: Does it have to be like approved by the dietitian
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: or they're adults, they can just decide to do that.
• 36:19
  Speaker 12: Well, it's definitely something that the dietitians struggle with, you know,
• 36:22
  Speaker 12: because it is and there's there's a thousand of them
• 36:25
  Speaker 12: out there, and you know, the more time you spend
• 36:27
  Speaker 12: on social media, the more that that show up, right,
• 36:30
  Speaker 12: And so yes, they they deal with it more than
• 36:34
  Speaker 12: I do. We our job is the food science side
• 36:37
  Speaker 12: of things to make sure that the food is healthy
• 36:39
  Speaker 12: and prepared and ready and and and has lots of
• 36:42
  Speaker 12: options for them because you have different types of food
• 36:44
  Speaker 12: types to the dietitians that really face the brunts of that,
• 36:49
  Speaker 12: the fads of trying to convince them. But you know,
• 36:52
  Speaker 12: eighteen to twenty five year old mind is impressionable, but
• 36:55
  Speaker 12: oftentimes also is set in its own ways, right, And
• 36:59
  Speaker 12: so it is really about an education being, you know,
• 37:02
  Speaker 12: if they are student athletes, not just athletes, and so
• 37:06
  Speaker 12: we are trying to teach them, you know. And there
• 37:10
  Speaker 12: are very open minded human beings and there are narrow
• 37:13
  Speaker 12: minded human beings, and that doesn't you know, and that's
• 37:16
  Speaker 12: just the breath of the world, not just in the
• 37:18
  Speaker 12: student athlete world, but that percentage also moves into student athletes, right.
• 37:22
  Speaker 12: So we have some that come in that have food jags.
• 37:26
  Speaker 12: We have some that come in that are you know,
• 37:30
  Speaker 12: mom and dad fed them anything they wanted to. And
• 37:33
  Speaker 12: then there's kids where mom and dad fed them only
• 37:36
  Speaker 12: what they wanted, right, And the ones that have only
• 37:40
  Speaker 12: been fed what they want tend to be a little
• 37:42
  Speaker 12: bit more particular about what they're eating, not necessarily in
• 37:46
  Speaker 12: a good way. So there's when you're dealing with human beings. Brother,
• 37:52
  Speaker 12: you know, like you never know what you're going to get.
• 37:54
  Speaker 12: So it's most certainly the most rewarding side of the job,
• 37:58
  Speaker 12: and it's also the most challenging side of the job.
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: Okay, what's the most eye rolling diet fad out there
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: that you've got to cook for?
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 38:05
  Speaker 12: Man, I don't know, you know, like I think they
• 38:08
  Speaker 12: all make they I mean they do. The keto diet
• 38:12
  Speaker 12: doesn't make sense to me at all because ultimately, if
• 38:14
  Speaker 12: you put putting your body into kytosis and you you know,
• 38:17
  Speaker 12: like there is a negative reaction to that, and it's
• 38:19
  Speaker 12: going to rebound as a matter of fact, you know,
• 38:22
  Speaker 12: like most of those bad diets, there's going to be
• 38:24
  Speaker 12: a rebound if it you know, you know, if at
• 38:27
  Speaker 12: some point you know it's a diet should be a
• 38:31
  Speaker 12: way of life, not a not a short term goal, right,
• 38:34
  Speaker 12: and and if you're looking at it from a short
• 38:37
  Speaker 12: term perspective, you know, and when I say short term,
• 38:40
  Speaker 12: even a few months, you know, like if you stop
• 38:42
  Speaker 12: doing that, if you start to stop that altering of
• 38:46
  Speaker 12: your lifestyle and go back to the way that you
• 38:47
  Speaker 12: were eating, there is a rebound effect. And you know,
• 38:52
  Speaker 12: whether it's a twenty one day fast or a six
• 38:55
  Speaker 12: month diet, you know, if you don't maintain it, it's
• 38:58
  Speaker 12: there is going to be a rebound and oft times
• 39:00
  Speaker 12: you find an even greater gain of weight. So you know,
• 39:04
  Speaker 12: you really do have to focus on changing your lifestyle
• 39:06
  Speaker 12: and making good decisions. And that's where the education side
• 39:10
  Speaker 12: of it is, and it's a difficult, it can be
• 39:12
  Speaker 12: a difficult go.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: Chef.
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: I do want to go back to my first question
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: because you mentioned, like you know what some stores will
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: do and what they'll put on their products to make
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: them look like they're fresh, and you mentioned kind of
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: some different options for our listeners and for me as well,
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: like here in the Baton Rouge area, like where is
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: somewhere maybe that is convenient to do what you're talking
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: about in shop local make sure you're getting the right stuff.
• 39:38
  Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, they have the bread of redstick Fire
• 39:42
  Speaker 12: farmers Market downtown on Saturdays and then they have it
• 39:45
  Speaker 12: on Thursdays at Pennington And I've been it a dozen times,
• 39:50
  Speaker 12: and there's some great food there. You can buy local meats,
• 39:53
  Speaker 12: you can buy really good foods. You can buy you know,
• 39:56
  Speaker 12: herbs and spices and stuff. But you know, I'm I
• 40:00
  Speaker 12: mean even knowing the difference between grocery stores, and I
• 40:03
  Speaker 12: don't really want to call out any grocery stores, but
• 40:06
  Speaker 12: I would say the local grocery stores are going to
• 40:08
  Speaker 12: have more local foods for you than the bigger name
• 40:12
  Speaker 12: chains that that don't know haven't said that. You know,
• 40:15
  Speaker 12: there's the whole Foods of the world. That is what
• 40:18
  Speaker 12: it is exactly that it's organic and whole foods, but
• 40:22
  Speaker 12: it's also expensive, you know, like I can't afford to
• 40:25
  Speaker 12: get it whole foods, you know. So yeah, I really
• 40:31
  Speaker 12: love the farmers markets. You can go down there. You're
• 40:33
  Speaker 12: walking around and just you know, enjoying the people who
• 40:36
  Speaker 12: are there. You're building relationships while you're there. You know,
• 40:39
  Speaker 12: you're you're talking to the person who's growing it so
• 40:42
  Speaker 12: you can get information about it. You know, those are
• 40:44
  Speaker 12: things that you that are lacking when you walk into
• 40:47
  Speaker 12: the big box companies of the world and you know
• 40:51
  Speaker 12: you're there's nobody around to talk to about about the food.
• 40:55
  Speaker 12: So That is one of the things about whole foods
• 40:58
  Speaker 12: I do enjoy is you can always find somebody talk
• 41:00
  Speaker 12: about what the food is that you're purchasing, whatever it is,
• 41:03
  Speaker 12: and they can give you information about it.
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 41:06
