• 0:01
  Speaker 1: I'll start Toyota Presents off the bench with Jacob Hester
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and Matt Flynn.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Say Hester and Hester.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Five from carrying each other to and Natty to carrying
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: each other.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: On the air, there's Brock Control.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Live from the Mercedes Benz of Baton Rouge Studio. It's
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: off the bench, all.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Right, welcome back in our number three, O, TV one,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: O four five, ESPN, Baton Rouge. Let's get to a
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: little big deal. No big deal, no big deal, big deal,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: no big deal, big deal, no big deal, no big deal,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: no big deal, A big deal, big deal, are no
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: big deal. Cleveland Brown's quarterback Shadier Sanders injured his oblique
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: throwing the football on Wednesday morning and is not likely
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: to play this Saturday in the second preseason game for
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the Cleveland Brown.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's that big of a deal because
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: it's a preseason game and they haven't really named a
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: starting quarterback yet, Like they didn't say Shadoor is our
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: starting quarterback.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: So I don't think it's that big of a deal.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: Look, normally it would not be a big deal for
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: the guy that's listed fourth on the depth charge in
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: your quarterback battle. But the guy that looked very, very
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: good and probably was gaining momentum towards at least being
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: the second string guy who would eventually play some games
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: this year. There's not going to be one starting quarterback
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: for the Cleveland Browns in twenty twenty five, so.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: It is a big setback.
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: But what's crazy is of all the quarters and the
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: young guns, the only quarterback that has stayed healthy for
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: the Cleveland Browns is the old man.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Mister Joe Flacco, the guy draft class, the iron.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: Man, the only one that stayed healthy and hasn't missed time,
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: hasn't been missed, practiced, and will not have missed the game.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: This is a big deal.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: We talked about it on Monday when you and I
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: were discussing his performance over the weekend, Like, yeah, is
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: he going to be named a starting quarterback from week
• 2:29
  Speaker 7: one to preseason?
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: No, but he has an opportunity to make a.
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: Move because Dylan Gabriel is down with an injury, Kenny
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: Pikett's down with an injury.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: It'd make him.
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: So it's a big deal for Shador Now he's taking
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: a step back again, and it's a big deal for
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: Cleveland because you have five quarterbacks on your team.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: You got to cut that down and pick the best guys.
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: Now you're just gonna have to kind of decide who's
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: available for that opening day roster. Like that's a big
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: deal for Cleveland as well, because you can't evaluate any
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: of these guys.
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: I would say that based on even if he doesn't
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: play another game, Shudre is guaranteed to make this team
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: as a fifth rounder. That's crazy to say, you know why,
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: because the noise that comes with not keeping him after
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: playing well is is going to be deafening. And I
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: know that that organization say like, oh, we we don't care.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: We blocked that out. But like it's a big deal.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: So Flacco, Gabriel Sanders, pickets an odd man out.
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: Four probably four is absolutely unhurt. I think, yeah, when
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: they drafted quarterback, I think pickets the odd man out.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Now he might be. He might be their.
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: Best option to be a seventeen game starter if they
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: wanted it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: But to what end, I guess is what they would do.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: So I don't know.
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: Earlier I was thinking Flacco would be the odd man out.
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: But he's the one one saying healthy right now and
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: getting the most reps because nobody else is practicing. It'll
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: be interesting to see, but I think we can all
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: assume there's gonna be at least three startered starting quarterbacks.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Get that Jersey ready. There's gonna be names attitude.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: Not to say that Dylan Gabriel or should or Sanders
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: won't be the long term option. I'm just saying for
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: this specific year because should Or showed. I mean I
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: was impressed watching and played just the mechanics of all
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: a great comfortability, the reads that he made. It was impressive.
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: It was impressive to watch. Okay, all right, big deal,
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: No big deal. I'm gonna look at Taylor right in
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: his face right now. I say this one. The Dallas
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: Cowboys contracts and a lot of negative albeit press, it
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: is press, and I think we've discovered that Jerry Jones
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: is the modern day PT Barnum as far as uh media,
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: as far as marketing goes and get an eye by
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: on his organization. He recently said that he loves the attention.
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: He would rather this basically interpreting the words that he said,
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: he would rather the attention on the Cowboys then make
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: a smart business decision for the team. So of course
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: they're famously having this argument contract negotiations with Micah Parsons,
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: one of the best players, if not the best defensive
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: player in the entire National Football League, which means the
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: entire world, and they will not pay him. They are threatening.
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: It seems like both sides have dug their feet in.
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: They are anchored into their position. Jerry Jones and his
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: side is saying that they had a deal verbally done
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: in the spring, and he's welcome to take that. But
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: it takes two sides like Parsons in them. They disagree,
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: they want a deal done, they want to renegotiate.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Both size are dug in.
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: But the biggest travesty that continues to be part of
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: the collecting collective bargaining agreement is the franchise tag, and
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: the Cowboys do hold more cards because they can just
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: franchise him and it's not just a bluff. They've done
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: it with Dak Prescott, and they were about to do
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: it for a second year with Dak Prescott and a
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: contract got signed like the morning of Game one, which
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: is insanity to me. So he's they're waiting and they
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: always pay more. Are they going to pay more this time?
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: It seems like this is not a bluff. They will
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: actually sit there in franchise tagging big no big deal.
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: Unfortunately, it's no big deal because I'm not surprised.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: I mean, this is what Jerry does.
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: Jerry has turned the Dallas Cowboys into a soap opera.
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: He doesn't really care about what they do on the field.
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: And then to your point, they can always just franchise
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: tag him. So for a guy that doesn't care about
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: on field success and knows that he has the franchise
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: tag in his back pocket, Jerry ain't moving. Like Jerry's
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: whole point is just idiotic. Cause he talks about this
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: agreement they had in the spring. So the reports are
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: that him and Micah Parson's gonna have this quote unquote
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: a handshake agreement him without the agent, right, him and
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: Mike apart since one on one talked about it. Mike
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: was like, yeah, sure, that sounds good. I just kind
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: of want to get back to it. He ran it
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: back to his agent and was like, hey, here's the deal,
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: and his agent goes, no, no, no, no, I can get
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: you a lot more money. And now Jerry's like, well,
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: why don't we have to have the agent involved. I'm like,
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: you're pissed off because his agent's involved.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: Everybody an agent in every single agreement has one. It's
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: a flawed way of thinking for a very flawed GM.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: I'm not surprised.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: That's no big deal because it's the Cowboys have been
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: relevant last thirty years.
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: So I think it's a huge deal because it highlights
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: what the NFLPA should have negotiated out of the CBA
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: a long time ago, which is the franchise tag.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean yeah, for sure, it's benefited like very few.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: There's some there's some running backs that maybe not would
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: have gotten the payday they got. But for the most part.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Yes, when is it? When has it ever been a
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: positive thing?
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: There was a couple of years I think it was
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Sprolls that we we franchised and he made like he
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: made some incredible money for the running back because running
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: backs just you just never know what you're going to get,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: so any value, I think you get a running back,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: but it's really the only position.
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: It's great for like one, but nobody wants to sign
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: a side a franchise tag, and it's the ultimate negotiation tool,
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: power move that the organization has over the player because
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: they're like, oh, you don't want to sign it, you're
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: under contract, blah blah blah. I can just franchise you
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: and lock you up. And then players like, well, no,
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: I can't get injured because I'm on one I'm on
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: this one year deal.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: Sure, I'm making decent money for really good money for
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: this one year. I got no security. I've like, I
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: don't have any long term commitment from the because when
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: in a world where the commitment is so one sided
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: between the organization and the player. Yeah, like, oh, players
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: got to play those contract. Well okay, well, organization, you
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: got am under five year contract. You can't cut them.
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: I give him the same breath. It's like, it's just
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: I think the franchise tag is awful, and I.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Think being able to cut somebody when you have a
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: contract and owing them nothing is.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Awful because it's such a it's such a stupid argument.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: It's such a stupid argument the Bengals are making with
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: their defensive end and the Cowboys are making. He's under contract,
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: he's got to play it out like he's an employee
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: right now. He has to play it. It's so one sided.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: Don't love it. And then the franchise tag makes it
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: even worse.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: All Right, Alandra, I don't have a take on this,
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: but I do have a big yeah.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean look, I fell asleep the
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Cowboys a long time ago. Like, it's very interesting in
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: the fact that the franchise tag deal situation, but the
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Cowboys portion of it, and that.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Was really the most part. I was like, more interesting.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, hopefully it brings it to light that it becomes
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: more of a conversation that this needs to be negotiated out.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: Sorry, I'm distracted. Landon just texted me. He said he's
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: bringing Benny up to us. Do we know like what
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: he's talking about? Because there's a Benny and he's Brazil.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: I wasn't sure.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I said, Okay, I said, policy big.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: No big deal.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: Benny Brazil and.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: We're going to have an Olympian in the house, a
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: national champion. That's a big deal.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: Okay, So my my actual big deal are no big deal.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: I'm going to give you all two options and y'all
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: can let me.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Is he here?
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Okay? Should I just should we just wrap this up?
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: We do want okay?
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: All right, I'm gonna give you.
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: All two options.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Do we want to talk the Athletics QB Tier list
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: or do we want to talk the Milwaukee Brewers.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: The Milwaukee Brewers talking about QB tiers.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: The Brewers are on their second double digit win streak
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: of the season, So they had a ten game win
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: streak earlier this season, and they're on the They're eleventh
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: game that they won in a row, thirty games above
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: five one hundred, which is just where did the Brewers
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: even come from? This is insane? But so there's only
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: ten or nine other teams that have done multiple double
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: digit win streaks in a season. So the twenty twenty
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: five Brewers, the twenty nineteen Astros, the twenty seventeen Dodgers,
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: fifteen Blue Jays, thirteen Braves, the two thousand and one Cardinals,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: nineteen seventy eight Pirates, seventy seven Royals, sixty nine Mets,
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: and the sixty nine Astros. The Brewers on a heater,
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: big dealer, No big, that's.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: A big deal.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of people that would not know that
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: the Brewers are on that kind of a run. The
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Brewers have a lot of great star players. Yellock, Yeah,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I mean he's he's like the veteran now, yeah, he
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: is he's like crazy, Yeah no, but they've got some
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: great prospects that have all kind of turned out and
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: get at the same time.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Ricky Caleb Durban's doing a great for them. Yeah yeah.
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: I don't know if you've heard On Palmer's take on this.
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: I think Hunt Palmer says the Milwaukee Brewers are cheating
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: because they don't have any good players, so how are
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: they winning.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: So Hunt actually thinks.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: The Brewers they have evaluated those players, and those players
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: are all up at the big league level now playing
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: really well.
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: At the same time, then they're an hour and a
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: half away from the Cubs.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Hat Murphy is they're a manager like they're cheating because
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: they're better than the Cubs.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Gotta be. They don't have to be. I just know it. Deep.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: Sorry, sorry, as soon as you said the Braves, I
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: knew Jake is going big deal.
• 12:30

  Speaker 9: could have left, could have transferred. You know they had
• 15:26
  Speaker 9: a quarterback then. But you deal with that adversity. You
• 15:30
  Speaker 9: set there, you set back and just went through it right.
• 15:33
  Speaker 9: And that next year you had your time. You delivered
• 15:35
  Speaker 9: us a national champ right. So I want to always
• 15:37
  Speaker 9: give your flowers for that shoot. Always put you in
• 15:40
  Speaker 9: the list with quarterbacks.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: We have come through L. S. Shoe.
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: We had a lot of talented guys, probably more.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Times than you. But you want us to ship and.
• 15:47
  Speaker 9: That's what matters. Like when you and your family go
• 15:49
  Speaker 9: out theater around bet and rouge. Matt Flinn shouldn't have
• 15:52
  Speaker 9: to pay. He's a champion.
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: He bought us a champions and that's the culture championships.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: When it comes to L.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: S U.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Free Benny, of course you go hang with him.
• 16:02
  Speaker 9: Everybody everybody's I had to give you flowers on that
• 16:06
  Speaker 9: was huge.
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: I gotta tell you, five year was so fun. I know,
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: so you and I played a lot, like at the
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: end of the game and things like that, but it
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: was just so fun that Tracy Smith was there calling plays.
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: Slid hilarious, dude, uh man. We had We had a
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: lot of fun, man, and you were a special part
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: of that. Every a lot of a lot of Benny
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: Brazil stories.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the the only Benny story that we tell.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: That's it's a little negative, but not because of what
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Benny did, because of Coach Saban. The day we had
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: to run more one tens because Benny, who was doing
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: exactly what he was supposed to be doing, he was
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: making his times. There's a time Benny was coming in
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: under the time. But because Benny wasn't winning every race
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: and he was an Olympian, Coach Saban thought we needed
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: to start the whole one ten test over.
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: I apologize for that.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: That's me. I'm wrong.
• 16:54
  Speaker 9: I apologize. You guys go through that. But it wasn't
• 16:56
  Speaker 9: just coach Saban. The other half of that was coach Maffitt.
• 16:59
  Speaker 9: Oh yeah, it was him.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: But but again, like you were doing everything that you
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: were supposed to do, you just weren't winning every race.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: And like you're going to the Olympics and you're not winning.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Every race started over.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I apologize that was four. I mean you had summertimes.
• 17:15
  Speaker 9: That was four was so it had to be that
• 17:17
  Speaker 9: next year after that was summer time.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: I guess five, like whatever summertime runs. I remember that.
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: We were like we're like what thirty one?
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, because when.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Were you out for the Olympics, Like you were outside
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: whole summer.
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: Train, just the summer training. You know what I'm saying
• 17:33
  Speaker 9: that I came back back at the very end. I
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: came back at the very end.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: That's when that was really. I think that's where it was.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: I remember I remember in mid stride that was tough.
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: You know, don't I don't think they run one teams
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: no more.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: They don't.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: It's changed.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: They don't. I mean even like the guys that were here,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: like Kirby Smart was here four and I remember asking
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Kirby last spring, I'm like, what's the conditioning test now?
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: He's like, oh, hees, we don't do the one ten
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: stuff more. It's like we're not knuckleheads like we used
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: to be. We got the GPS and we know if
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: a guy is not working hard. We can tell and
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: we make him run after that, he's like now one
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: tens or a thing. In the past, Coach Saban didn't
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: run him at the end either. No shocks had to
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: change it a little bit. I heard it, but I
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: wish you needed that. Bill care You remember our fourth
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: like the fourth quarter program, Like I had to come
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: having the trash cans like every five yards, and I had.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: To come out the track practice. That's changed. I had
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: to try right part in the evening.
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it was forty five. It was in the evening
• 18:33
  Speaker 9: time back then. So I had to come straight from
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: track practice to four quarter program. And then we're going
• 18:38
  Speaker 9: to these you know, we're doing all these stations and
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: then you get the coach net station.
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: I couldn't take that serious or something. But yes, good thing,
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: good times, good times.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of good times, Benny, I want you to,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: uh look at it now. Don't listen. Don't pay attention
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: to how grainy this is.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Because we.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Played a long time ago, right, So look, we got
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: a Bennie Brazil, we got a Matt Flynn, we got
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: myself in here. We're all in the game. At the carry.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Carter a little shy up there in the eye. Let's see,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: let's see how this play turns out for the law
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Shoe Tigers against the Old Miss Rebels. My god, that's grainy.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Oh what a release by that fullback. Benny's five yard down.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Maybe the only time that Benny didn't get a celebration
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: penalty was on this touchdown right here because he was
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: good for two or three.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: I've never been there before. I've never been there.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Any of those though that year and five did Benny
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: catch like at least six of those kind of passes
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: that were like fifty plus yards. It felt like good
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: time the Florida game and five good time day game. Yes,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Tiger Stadium. I think Jay Russ hits you maybe.
• 20:03
  Speaker 9: On the same play, yep, same thing in Arkansas. It
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: was a couple of them good times fellers. Wow, how
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: does that make you feel? How grainy that was? Though
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: it's a little it makes me look my age a
• 20:13
  Speaker 9: little bit, you know what I mean. But at the
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: end of the day, it was a touchdown. And like
• 20:17
  Speaker 9: they said, you want a championship, man, I don't care.
• 20:20
  Speaker 9: You want us a ship you went next. I can't
• 20:22
  Speaker 9: take that from us.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: I think it's got to be a bad download.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Right YouTube, you went to LimeWire to get that.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: We were talking about it yesterday like this was five.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: This looks like in nineteen seven. You gotta have a
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: better one than that.
• 20:36
  Speaker 9: Crazy That was coach Madains first year, right, Yeah, Yeah,
• 20:41
  Speaker 9: that was such a good team.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: It was a great team. Tough year obviously with Hurricane Katrina.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Where we're supposed to start the season planning against I
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: believe North Texas. That game gets canceled. We're supposed to
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: play Arizona State across the street. Yep, that doesn't happen.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: We have to fly out to Arizona. I remember that Tempee.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: They were a good team that were ranked teams.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: It was we got kind of lucky. Yeah.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: We we blocked the kick for a touchdown. Ye blocked
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: the punt for a touchdown. Then JaMarcus hits early on
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: a play that if it gets reviewed.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Out of the game.
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but it worked out.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: It worked out.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: If if that season it was a normal season, I
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: think LSU compete for a national champion.
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: I totally agree. But the next year, no excuse six.
• 21:25
  Speaker 9: Yes, I think that was one of the greatest chance
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: we ever had on paper, offense and.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: D four first round picks.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Totally agree.
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: So that team there no way that should have won
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: to ship.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Losses to Florida on the road in Florida on the road, Yeah,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: that's what it was. We lost to Auburn, was like
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: nine to six or something something, low scoring game.
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but as far as talent wise, both sides of
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: the ball was amazing.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: I'm with you. I'm with you. Now that season ended,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: it ended well beating Notre Dame at the Sugar Bowl, but.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Suld have done more. Totally agreed.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: That was a window of now in four I don't
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: know if y'all agree.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: We were We're.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, We're just three football team. Yeah, we had some town,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: we had some you know, we had seaweb and spears
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: on those guys. Ton, but we lost a ton because
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: you won the national championship. But five O six there
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: should have been at least one championship in those times.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: I totally agree.
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, when both those teams were clicking, playing its best
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: football game plan, everybody healthy, like there was no team better.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: Certainly like there's no team in O six beating the
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: team that showed.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Up at the Sugar Bowl. Totally agree. Nobody, nobody even
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: closed what did you.
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: Think the problem was in O six with you guys,
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: because we were already we had left.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: So what was different those?
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: I mean just two close road losses. So okay, I'll
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: tell you what. At Florida, we're at the swamp. We
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: score first, we hit like a two forty six Yukon
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: score first, boom, and we're going in for our second score.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: And I think we were on fullback belly. I think
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: we're at the ten. I think I get it down
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: to the one. I still think I scored whatever they
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: call it, down the one first and goal from the one.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: We're good, Okay, Jerry Russ Fommelton next. Now fumbled at Florida,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: got it they went, they scored, and now we're talking
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: about we were gone up. I think a couple of scores.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Now it's like tid game crazy. And then that was
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: t ba's first ever jump pack Tibo mania. That was.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: That was a tough game and we could not do.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: The defense tried. It's one of those games. The defense
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: tried to keep us in it for as long as
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: they could, but put him in bass situations. We had
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: special teams play. I think I missed you. I don't
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: remember who it was. And might have been somebody somebody
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: muffed the punt.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: I think something like that.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those two road games at Auburn and that floor.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Now we're talking today's college football with that resume the playoffs.
• 23:39
  Speaker 9: So I think in our times, I think it was
• 23:42
  Speaker 9: just different and I think we had a standard. When
• 23:44
  Speaker 9: I say that, at that time, it was either BCS
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: a Bush. Remember that BCS the Bush. That's the standard.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: You know. If we didn't go to the BCS, I
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: mean Texas Bowl. No disrespect of those bowl games, no bowl,
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: no disrespect to them. But that was not standard, you
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: know what I mean.
• 23:58
  Speaker 9: And I think when it comes to L s U
• 24:00
  Speaker 9: football and some sports, the standards of championships a bus.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think it should be that. Like I
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: think like if you ask Jay Johnson what the standard
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: is championships, he's not gonna tell you anything like record.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: He's gonna say, omaha, So what he's gonna say? I mean,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: same thing you us Kim Mulky like, hey, what's the standard?
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: She's gonna tell your final fours? Track, same way, rack
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: and field, Like you've got a standard that you are
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: going to try to list like now that it's a
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: twelve team playoff for LSU, because you're right, like it
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: was a BCS game when we were in school, there
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: was only so many of those. Now that's a twelve
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: team playoff. It's playoff or bus And if it's not
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: that way, then you don't need to be here. Like
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: in any sport, I'm talking any sport. I love, just
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: got any sport.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: I think that's the expectation, certainly the expectation this year.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: It's gotta be. And you said us.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: In track, tell us about your coaching track, tell us
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: about what you're doing, your role right now and your
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: day to day.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: No good question.
• 24:49
  Speaker 8: So we kind of like an off season at this point.
• 24:51
  Speaker 9: Right now, you got people getting ready for world championships
• 24:54
  Speaker 9: coming up, so preparing for their different countries us say,
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: anybody else that's on our team, So they're preparing for
• 24:59
  Speaker 9: that situation. But when it comes to the collegiate wise,
• 25:01
  Speaker 9: we're getting ready to start practice.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: I want to say. We always go to day after.
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: Labor Day, we get the fall training going on everybody
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: and we're getting this ball rolling. So for the most part,
• 25:10
  Speaker 9: we just ended up with recruiting and everything at this
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: point and were just ready to get the season started.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Couldn't you coach Matt Flynn to run the three hunters hurdles?
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: No, sir, I cannot do that. I wouldn't want to
• 25:22
  Speaker 9: see that. Like I said, Matt's already made men.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: He bought He bought LSU a championship. So I feel
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: like when you bring LSU a championship, you in a
• 25:30
  Speaker 9: different category.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Is it something you did like all growing up as well,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: or is that something like you kind of found later
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: on as you got the l shoot good.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Question in high school.
• 25:40
  Speaker 9: In middle school, I was just running regular and I
• 25:42
  Speaker 9: was just trying.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: One day, I say, you know, let me try this.
• 25:45
  Speaker 9: I was just trying it one day and I had
• 25:46
  Speaker 9: to I was running the sprint hurdles, and I had
• 25:48
  Speaker 9: to want two three one two three.
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: It just came natural.
• 25:51
  Speaker 9: So at then I just start doing it, you know
• 25:52
  Speaker 9: what I mean. And I around seventh grade. I started
• 25:55
  Speaker 9: eighth grade, I was okay. Ninth grade, I kind of
• 25:58
  Speaker 9: started coming a little bit. But I sophomore year in
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: high school, guess.
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: I can't believe you say you can't coach me to what?
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: But I guess my my high school coach did tell
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: us that, like you can't win the Kentucky Derby with
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: a jackass. I guess that's the statement, right, I guess
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: I guess I'm the jackass.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean you said it, not me. Uh you
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: mentioned like I don't even know if we were on
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: air when you said this, but like, you know, used
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: to go like track practice, football practice. We always tell
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: stories about the guys that played baseball. Uh, you know
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Chad Jones, you, Jared Mitchell, Chris Jackson. It was a
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: part of team with us, like they would change on
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: their way to the box and go play baseball. Uh,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: so you've done it in the track world as well.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: So Jelanney Watkins is trying to do that, like right now,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Like what, like what are the challenges because it's I'm
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: sure like a different mindset obviously, Like he is so
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: good on the track, he's so good on the grid iron.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: What is it like trying to make sure that you're
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: in the right mindset depending on what sport you're at.
• 26:58
  Speaker 9: I think that's good question as well too. I think
• 27:02
  Speaker 9: for the most part when it comes to it with
• 27:03
  Speaker 9: us as being like athletes, because we love both, right,
• 27:06
  Speaker 9: we love football and we love track. So the crazy
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: part about it is when you win football season, you
• 27:11
  Speaker 9: win football season, you're thinking about track, and when you're
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: in track season, you're thinking definitely about track, you know
• 27:15
  Speaker 9: what I mean. So for the most part, it all
• 27:17
  Speaker 9: comes together because sometimes when you at track practice, you
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: got to be able to go back to the spring ball,
• 27:22
  Speaker 9: spring meetings and.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: All that kind of aspect of it.
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: So you just got to keep your mental right, I mean,
• 27:27
  Speaker 9: just stay positive best way you can, because we already
• 27:29
  Speaker 9: know you're gonna go through some adversity. I think in
• 27:31
  Speaker 9: our time what made it different. We were red shirted, right,
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: So in our time it was okay to be red shirted.
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: Right these days, yeah, we wouldn't know you got it.
• 27:39
  Speaker 9: Hester you got it, you played at the true freshman congratulations.
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: But for the most part, it's okay to be red shirted,
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: you know what I mean.
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: So I think these days and age, when guys get
• 27:47
  Speaker 9: red shirted, they go in a tank guard this cre
• 27:50
  Speaker 9: and I know it's hard social media. Just imagine if
• 27:52
  Speaker 9: we are all roommates in college US three. Yeah Heester's playing,
• 27:55
  Speaker 9: we're not playing. Were red shirted, and the social media stuff
• 27:58
  Speaker 9: is going on, We're gonna feel some time way, you
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: know what I mean. So you got to be able
• 28:01
  Speaker 9: to block that out the best you can, Like coach
• 28:04
  Speaker 9: Sabman always said, block out the rat poison.
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I canque on how you handle your track athletes
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: because it's it's such a different sport than anything else
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: because they do have like the Olympics, the World's thy
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: goa right, and different meets outside of just LSU. So
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: like when you're coaching somebody, are you kind of like
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: end up being their personal coad? Do you travel with
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: them and coach them up for these different events?
• 28:29
  Speaker 9: It just depends on what the track media is whatever
• 28:32
  Speaker 9: it is, Like I feel like collegian legs because under twenties,
• 28:35
  Speaker 9: but usually like World Championships and Olympics for the most part,
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: Kochhev would be there, but if it's part of our
• 28:40
  Speaker 9: sprinting athletes, I'll be there as well with them as
• 28:42
  Speaker 9: well too. That's anybody on our staff, you know what
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: I mean. So how it comes to that aspect, but
• 28:45
  Speaker 9: it just depends on it. But the number one thing
• 28:47
  Speaker 9: is the NCAA Championship, coach Benning, right, that's number one.
• 28:51
  Speaker 8: Then Olympics and everything else. But the main thing is
• 28:54
  Speaker 8: the main thing.
• 28:54
  Speaker 9: Yeah, So I think at the end that you focus
• 28:56
  Speaker 9: one in that national championship first and go to everything else.
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: I would assume more like but I was saying, those
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: outside meets kind of help with recruiting athlete.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Big time, big time.
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: They see it that way, but I feel like it
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: helps out.
• 29:07
  Speaker 9: But you know, the number one thing is changed now
• 29:09
  Speaker 9: it's all about nil, So I think that's kind of
• 29:11
  Speaker 9: important as well too. So I feel like the resume
• 29:13
  Speaker 9: really doesn't matter no more of what you've done, and
• 29:15
  Speaker 9: it's about what can you do for me?
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Give me your favorite play you were involved in l
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: s U football, l SU football.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Favorite your favorite one?
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: My favorite one because my mind, I'm not even like
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: it's O five versus Florida, like I said urban Meyer,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: I believe his first year there. I want to say
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: they came in maybe even as a favorite. In that game.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: It is a CBS Day game. It was hotter than
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: hot obviously, and Benny kind of closed the door on that.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say that that was my first touchdown.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: It was huge. That was really huge for the game.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: I thought that was huge.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: You get a fifteen year pal, I did got it.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: I got in trouble.
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: You know, I got you know, I got cussed out
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: on Monday.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: Coach Mouse got me remember that meeting.
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: Yea next time again, next time I see you again
• 29:56
  Speaker 9: on the sideline, You're gonna be on the sideline with
• 29:58
  Speaker 9: me next time.
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: I act like he been there and I was like,
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: I haven't.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Jimbo said, well, you know, he's right, you haven't been
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: there before.
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: But let me let your celebration. Your yours is like
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: the most genuinely like positive.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: It wasn't look at me. It was just like, I'm excited.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Let me celebrate. We gotta we got to celebrate together.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Don't worry, listeners, We'll we'll find that clip at some point.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: We'll play that Florida touchdown. Benny Man, you're the man.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: This has been a lot of fun. Probably, Like I said,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's like open door policy. Whenever you want
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: to come in if track has something going on, football like,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. If you just want to come hang out,
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: you got an open door.
• 30:35
  Speaker 9: I appreciate that, but that's not I forget the standard
• 30:37
  Speaker 9: of LSU is championships had some of the greatest individual
• 30:41
  Speaker 9: athletes come through LSU before one of the best ones ever.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, hey, Shack, right, Shack was good.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Shout out to Uncle Mallett.
• 30:48
  Speaker 9: You know Sharik, my little nephew. Shaq was one of
• 30:50
  Speaker 9: the greatest to come through l s U. But he
• 30:52
  Speaker 9: didn't win. I still love him though. It's about championships.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: It is. Look at this, Look at this.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Let's go back. Yeah, we got the clip. Let's go back.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: It's so funny that that guy, oh wit, this is
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: grainy too. My gosh, it's just this is not good.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Look I see you face Jones with the block Benn
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: in Brazil down the sideline fifteen yards. That got him
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: fifteen yards. That right there got Benny fifteen yards.

• 31:25

• 33:35
  Speaker 2: All right, chef, Like, how's it going, how's everything like? Camp?
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: We know, man, this is a time where it's just
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: like every single time you turn around, you probably feel
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: like you're trying to feed an athlete.
• 33:44
  Speaker 10: Yeah. You know, yesterday I asked somebody what day of
• 33:47
  Speaker 10: the week it was twice and what time it was
• 33:51
  Speaker 10: twice because I've been losing tractive days and you know,
• 33:55
  Speaker 10: at like five o'clock in the afternoon yesterday, I wasn't
• 33:58
  Speaker 10: sure if it was five AM or five MS. So, yeah,
• 34:01
  Speaker 10: it happens.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Hashtag of munchies hunting season is three weeks away. What's
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: your favorite wild game to cook eat?
• 34:08
  Speaker 10: Oh that's a good question, man, And honestly, I have
• 34:11
  Speaker 10: you know, like I thought about hunting a deer for
• 34:12
  Speaker 10: the first time like two days ago, and I don't know,
• 34:16
  Speaker 10: you know, it's probably gonna be deer. I mean, I've
• 34:19
  Speaker 10: I've never hunted an elk before, but I think it
• 34:22
  Speaker 10: could be something larger than a deer. But it's it's
• 34:26
  Speaker 10: always going to be something that's in the moment fresh,
• 34:28
  Speaker 10: you know, Like I like to peel the backstraps out
• 34:30
  Speaker 10: of a deer and cook them. I'd like I like,
• 34:32
  Speaker 10: I like eating rabbit, you know, like I just kind
• 34:35
  Speaker 10: of enjoy you know, the hunt and the kill and
• 34:38
  Speaker 10: and reaping the rewards of it. So I don't I
• 34:41
  Speaker 10: don't know that I have a favorite species, although there
• 34:45
  Speaker 10: is something really special about shooting a wild boar and
• 34:47
  Speaker 10: eating it, you know, like that not everybody eats wild
• 34:50
  Speaker 10: boar but I but I do. And I take a
• 34:52
  Speaker 10: particular fondness for because not only are you killing a
• 34:56
  Speaker 10: creature and you know, like putting it on the plate,
• 34:58
  Speaker 10: but you're also helping me in vironment and doing so yeah.
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the backstrap off while board is incredible and oh yeah,
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: and then just to add to that, my favorite would
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: be the Mallard duck breast like a.
• 35:11
  Speaker 10: Fresh yeah so good, yeah.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: Very good.
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah chef hashtag munchies here putting together my wedding registry.
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: What do you recommend for kitchen utensils, wood and metal
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: for different things?
• 35:24
  Speaker 10: Yeah? Man, you know, like I think every kitchen has
• 35:27
  Speaker 10: to have a sort of a set of really good
• 35:30
  Speaker 10: wooden like spoon sets and and and ladles and such.
• 35:33
  Speaker 10: And you know, I just yesterday I was looking at
• 35:36
  Speaker 10: an olive wood set because pretty the wood is really dense.
• 35:40
  Speaker 10: Olive wood is uh, super tolerant of abuse in the kitchen.
• 35:44
  Speaker 10: There's some other woods, but they're a little bit more precious,
• 35:47
  Speaker 10: and I you know, like they're they're good wood, good
• 35:50
  Speaker 10: woods to use, but they're kind of controversial as to
• 35:53
  Speaker 10: whether we should be using them or not. And I
• 35:56
  Speaker 10: like damboo in the kitchen honestly, so I think some
• 35:59
  Speaker 10: one of those. I think a wine opener is important,
• 36:05
  Speaker 10: you know, like a proper wine opener, you know, because
• 36:07
  Speaker 10: if you're if you're when I'm cooking at home, I
• 36:10
  Speaker 10: you know, like I kind of get passionate about what
• 36:11
  Speaker 10: I'm doing and you know, sharing that moment with my
• 36:13
  Speaker 10: loved ones. So I think that that's important. You know,
• 36:17
  Speaker 10: my knives are are like an extension of my hands
• 36:20
  Speaker 10: man and having the right tool for the right job
• 36:24
  Speaker 10: is important. So a good set of knives is always important.
• 36:27
  Speaker 10: I'm a Woostoff guy. I carry Woostos. There's other more
• 36:30
  Speaker 10: affordable knives out there, but I have a knife for
• 36:33
  Speaker 10: every task. I probably have. I probably have one hundred
• 36:37
  Speaker 10: knives somewhere shape or form over between the kitchen and
• 36:42
  Speaker 10: the house of you know, like different you know, like
• 36:44
  Speaker 10: cheese knives and and different different tasks and such. I
• 36:49
  Speaker 10: don't know why, but I have a I have a
• 36:52
  Speaker 10: real fondness for a particular type of calendar. You know
• 36:55
  Speaker 10: that it's I in particular, you know, like a sturdy,
• 36:58
  Speaker 10: stainless steel And I found one just the other day,
• 37:01
  Speaker 10: And you guys are gonna be like, what the hell's
• 37:03
  Speaker 10: wrong with chef. But it's a it's a very steep,
• 37:05
  Speaker 10: sloped sided calendar I think lets the water and the
• 37:10
  Speaker 10: materials flow out easier versus a broader, broader based one
• 37:15
  Speaker 10: that you know isn't going to sit inside the kitchen
• 37:17
  Speaker 10: sink and so I just have an appreciation for the
• 37:20
  Speaker 10: well thought out things that are quality, that do their
• 37:23
  Speaker 10: job well.
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: Is there something in it, like a kitchen tool or
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: utensil that is like a frequent gift that people give
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: to somebody, and like when you go to someone's house
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: they pull it out and you just kind of cringe, like, ugh,
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: that's that's kind of dumb.
• 37:35
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, like a garnic press. It's one of
• 37:38
  Speaker 10: those things. I kind of like, it's amentary gardic. It
• 37:40
  Speaker 10: doesn't take three seconds, you know. Like, but I do
• 37:45
  Speaker 10: like a lemon dreamer, which is kind of weird, you know,
• 37:47
  Speaker 10: because it kind of I don't know. Well, I'm actually
• 37:51
  Speaker 10: not going to go down the road. I hear the
• 37:53
  Speaker 10: voice of T Bob in my ear, you know, going
• 37:55
  Speaker 10: down this path of what a rumor is. And so
• 37:57
  Speaker 10: I'm just gonna call now.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: A good idea hashtag munchies, any good healthy meal ideas
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: that I can cook at a beach house for eleven
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: people that's not too time consuming.
• 38:12
  Speaker 10: You know. I love putting together a fresh falsa or
• 38:15
  Speaker 10: thebch and letting its fit, you know, because it can.
• 38:18
  Speaker 10: And I like to take if you you know, if
• 38:20
  Speaker 10: you have the fish available to you. You know, I
• 38:22
  Speaker 10: think I was just in grand Al not too long
• 38:25
  Speaker 10: ago when we caught fresh snapper and put it, you know,
• 38:27
  Speaker 10: put it in the bowl and the incidity helps it.
• 38:30
  Speaker 10: It actually proves itself better to sit it on the
• 38:33
  Speaker 10: table and let it fit, because it cooks better that
• 38:35
  Speaker 10: way rather than refrigerated. And you know, you can just
• 38:39
  Speaker 10: throw it together and pull some chips and people enjoy
• 38:42
  Speaker 10: it for what it is. And if you make a
• 38:43
  Speaker 10: big batch of it, you know, like I don't know,
• 38:45
  Speaker 10: I love sabch and I love I love salsa, but
• 38:48
  Speaker 10: you know, you can turn a salsa into a fruity
• 38:50
  Speaker 10: salsa with paink pineapples and mangos and such, and you know,
• 38:53
  Speaker 10: I think the kids will eat it that way rather
• 38:54
  Speaker 10: than it just being spicy. But if I'm at the beach,
• 38:57
  Speaker 10: I'm it is almost certain I'm going to have one
• 38:59
  Speaker 10: of those two things, chef.
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: The are some like health safety controversy on nonstick pants.
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: Do you use like traditional store bought nonstick pans or
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: do you kind of just season up the cast ire?
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: How do you work with the nonstick?
• 39:17
  Speaker 10: I did not use nonstick, specifically teflon coded so the
• 39:21
  Speaker 10: controversy behind teflon is is that it doesn't have a
• 39:24
  Speaker 10: half life, but it is a forever chemicals and if
• 39:26
  Speaker 10: you ingest that if it starts flaking and gets into
• 39:29
  Speaker 10: your food, it can you know, it will stay in
• 39:33
  Speaker 10: your body for your life. And there is proven like
• 39:39
  Speaker 10: there is a particular chemical company out there that produced
• 39:42
  Speaker 10: this material that has been sued time and time again
• 39:45
  Speaker 10: for like the past thirty years and lost and that
• 39:47
  Speaker 10: they are still paying out because the where they started
• 39:51
  Speaker 10: producing teflon was soaking into the ground and started making
• 39:55
  Speaker 10: the township sick and the cattle sick. And so it's
• 39:58
  Speaker 10: not a matter of whether it is is an absolute
• 40:00
  Speaker 10: and so you know, the idea is that it's intact
• 40:04
  Speaker 10: in the pan, it's nonstick. But if it's not and
• 40:06
  Speaker 10: it's flucking a way, it is a car synergen and
• 40:09
  Speaker 10: and we just we just don't mess with it. I
• 40:13
  Speaker 10: prefer to get a fan. I like stainless, and I
• 40:16
  Speaker 10: like copper, and I like cast iron outside of those three.
• 40:20
  Speaker 10: You know, like if you hear somebody say there's this
• 40:23
  Speaker 10: new science behind nonstick, you know, food has been around
• 40:27
  Speaker 10: for a long time, you know, metallurgy has been around
• 40:30
  Speaker 10: for a long time. I trust what I understand, and
• 40:33
  Speaker 10: I know, so when you.
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: Make when you're making like a fried egg on a
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: stainless or a copper you have to use plenty of oil.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: Is that how we we fit?
• 40:41
  Speaker 10: Yeah, proper heat, the proper proper amount of heat in
• 40:44
  Speaker 10: the in the in the proper amount of oil. And
• 40:46
  Speaker 10: you know, like if you I think that those nonstick
• 40:50
  Speaker 10: pans are meant for absorbing lesser talents, is cook in
• 40:55
  Speaker 10: the kitchen? You know? Yeah, yeah, exactly. And so I
• 41:00
  Speaker 10: prefer to you know, I'm a man of education. I
• 41:02
  Speaker 10: like to teach people versus you know, kind of simplified
• 41:06
  Speaker 10: or done myself down to the less least common denominator.
• 41:09
  Speaker 10: I would prefer to throw people. And so I'm gonna
• 41:12
  Speaker 10: teach you how to cook in the right fan.
