  Speaker 4: Yeah.

  Speaker 4: Big Carl. I wouldn't go there. The fact that you
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: went post over Carl Malone.
• 1:55
  Speaker 10: Well, we should never talk about Carl Malone in a
• 1:58
  Speaker 10: positive light.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: I mean.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Carl Malone, John Stockton.

• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah. That's cool. Who's Griffin?
• 2:11
  Speaker 9: Yeah, his name's Razor.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Razor. Razor is your child.
• 2:15
  Speaker 8: My kid, as Jake would say.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: No, Jake would not say, because it bothers Jake. Dang.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Weird thing.
• 2:21
  Speaker 10: If you would have told me your middle name was
• 2:22
  Speaker 10: like Thunder or something stupid, I'd have been like, yeah, yeah.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Hell yeah.
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to not believe it.
• 2:27
  Speaker 9: Jacob Thunder Hester.
• 2:29
  Speaker 11: But see, if he doesn't go by Thunder, that's how
• 2:31
  Speaker 11: you know it's not his middle name.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Mom, what were you doing? Yeah.
• 2:34
  Speaker 11: Because if your middle name's Thunder, you're going by Thunder.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: You know how you go by Dragon? Can I go
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: by Thunder? Yeah.
• 2:39
  Speaker 9: No, we're calling you Thunder.
• 2:40
  Speaker 8: You just give yourself a name.
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: You're Thunder. Look at me adding something positive to the
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: show for you.
• 2:44
  Speaker 9: You're Topher.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't like that.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: I'm Topher.
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: I don't love that at all.
• 2:48
  Speaker 8: What's the school of the Thunder?
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: What?
• 2:50
  Speaker 9: No way.
• 2:51
  Speaker 8: The Higginbothams.
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: What mascot were you hanging out with?
• 2:55
  Speaker 9: The Higginbothams.
• 2:56
  Speaker 8: The Higginbothams.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: No.
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: Thunder Higginbothams?
• 2:59
  Speaker 8: Listen.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: That sounds like it's behind a paywall, brother.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: It's better.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: It's better.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: You don't get that for free, brother.
• 3:06
  Speaker 8: This is your ID, right?
• 3:08
  Speaker 10: It was.
• 3:08
  Speaker 11: It was Thunder River Higginbotham, and his sister was Stormy
• 3:11
  Speaker 11: Rain Higginbotham.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: That is.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: Come on.
• 3:14
  Speaker 9: Okay, but Stormy is like a normal.
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: What was the third one's name? Brazzers?
• 3:17
  Speaker 11: I don't know if they had a third one.
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: Jesus, that's tough.
• 3:20
  Speaker 11: I don't know if they had a third one.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: That is tough.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: Brazzers Higginbotham IV.
• 3:24
  Speaker 9: You just full on.
• 3:25
  Speaker 8: Let's see if I got him on Facebook.
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: You said 9 o'clock hour, we can open up a
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: little bit.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Now you're good.
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: Also, you look jacked today. What's going on?
• 3:34
  Speaker 10: What?
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Like, look at your arms.
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: The tricep.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: It's thunder. It's thunder.
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: Thunder.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Thunder, dude. It's a respect behind his name. Thunder and,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: you know. Yeah.
• 3:43
  Speaker 10: Man, I really, I should probably go. We're not going
• 3:46
  Speaker 10: to get any better than what I've just done here.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: That's true. You unloaded the clip in the first three
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: minutes there, bud. Let's do this.
• 3:52
  Speaker 9: I'm not going to tell you to not leave.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: Oh, cheers.
• 3:55
  Speaker 8: Nux.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 3:56
  Speaker 8: What are you going to do?
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: I thought you were about to take it from me, man.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I thought you were about to get
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: a little fired up.
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: I brought it for you.
• 4:01
  Speaker 8: Because you have no energy?
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: I've had none. I only take those during training camp.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: I feel like it's a placebo effect at this point.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Oh, for sure. You know what I mean? It's coffee.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: It does nothing. Yeah.
• 4:13
  Speaker 8: I wouldn't be shocked.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: But it's cereal and I like the taste.
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: You're the kind of guy that... You know what I mean?
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Good reference.
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: I wouldn't be shocked if you just walked around with
• 4:18
  Speaker 8: smelling salts in your pocket.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: I've never done one.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Me either.
• 4:23
  Speaker 9: I've never done a smelling salt.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: What?
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: It's not.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: Done meth. Haven't done that. That's a joke.
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: That's a joke. I'm a little surprised, I guess, for him.
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: I'm a lot of surprised by you.
• 4:32
  Speaker 9: I've never done a smelly salt.
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: I've just never had the opportunity. If they were available,
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: I would do them in a heartbeat.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: You got one? No, but I'm going to get some.
• 4:38
  Speaker 11: We used to smell like ammonia and stuff before workouts.
• 4:42
  Speaker 8: We never did the smelling salt thing.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Oh, man.
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: That's what it is.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: That's all it is.
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but we would just have, like, the liquid ammonia.
• 4:48
  Speaker 8: We didn't have, like.
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: I got so many questions about your upbringing.
• 4:51
  Speaker 8: From this morning. Take a shot of it.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I do, too. I got to know the Higginbothams.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: We got to get them on air.
• 4:55
  Speaker 10: Thunder Higginbothams is crazy.
• 4:58
  Speaker 8: Tell Stormy on Facebook. She's married now. Stormy Cooper.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: What's her... Oh, that's a downgrade.
• 5:03
  Speaker 10: There's 0% chance I don't look that up after this show.
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: I don't care.
• 5:07
  Speaker 10: If you're listening, Stormy, I'm sorry. You might get a
• 5:09
  Speaker 10: like on a post from, like, 2015. I just... I
• 5:13
  Speaker 10: have so many questions.
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: I got to know.
• 5:15
  Speaker 10: So.
• 5:15
  Speaker 9: That's where they're smelling salt right now.
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: You have one?
• 5:18
  Speaker 11: No, but I will do one.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: They're hard to get.
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: Y'all got any salt? I love salt.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: They're hard to get.
• 5:23
  Speaker 8: I don't know, balloon it up.
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: We used to do them all the time before LSU
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: football games. A lot of us had worked them. For
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: some reason, during COVID, smelling salts were hard to get.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: You almost couldn't get them.
• 5:36
  Speaker 9: Probably because people couldn't smell.
• 5:38
  Speaker 10: It feels like they'd be in more abundance. The price
• 5:40
  Speaker 10: would have gone down.
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: Are they still hard to get?
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Not as easy as they used to be, no.
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: I just remember the late Kevin Green, he would always
• 5:48
  Speaker 8: have a cup full of them, like on the sideline.
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: He'd walk up to you, and he'd, like, hold the
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: cup up to you, and you're like, oh, yeah.
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: The best is when you get about four or five
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: of them, and you snap and put them in a
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: water bottle and then.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Shake it up.
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: And then when you undo the cap, you just get, like,
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: and then you squeeze the bottle, and then it.
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: Just hits you.
• 6:03
  Speaker 11: So, wait, is that, like, a weird thing? Because a
• 6:05
  Speaker 11: couple people in the chat are like, fully concentrated ammonia
• 6:08
  Speaker 11: is wild. He just had a bottle of it in
• 6:09
  Speaker 11: the weight room.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Like, I don't know.
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: I don't even know what ammonia is. Isn't that a
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: receiver for the Lions?
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: No, close.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Close. A couple letters away.
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: A couple letters away.
• 6:19
  Speaker 11: There's a dash in there, too, but you're right on track.
• 6:22
  Speaker 11: I like your thought process there.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: That's pretty good.
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: We didn't do any of that.
• 6:25
  Speaker 10: I'll tell you what, my favorite video of all time
• 6:27
  Speaker 10: from somebody doing smell insults, I think there were smell
• 6:29
  Speaker 10: insults involved. Remember that guy, the video that went viral
• 6:33
  Speaker 10: of the Juco player trying to squat like 400 pounds?
• 6:37
  Speaker 10: He's like beating himself in the chest like this. and
• 6:39
  Speaker 10: then he just collapses under it. I love that video.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Remember when John Mateer did it in the offseason, and
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: he front-squatted like a million pounds, and I wanted him
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: to front-squat me so bad. So that made me be like, okay,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: he's about to win the Heisman.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I didn't feel that way. That's the one thing
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: I got.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Right this year.
• 6:56
  Speaker 11: Buff quarterbacks don't do well.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: No. No, they don't.
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: You can't dress a quarterback with abs.
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: I don't know if there's been. I think Jalen Hurst
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: is the only quarterback to ever win the Super Bowl
• 7:08
  Speaker 8: with it.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: Probably. Probably.
• 7:10
  Speaker 11: It's like, yeah, find a quarterback with abs. There's not
• 7:12
  Speaker 11: very many.
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: I mean, even Brady's jawline took a while.
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: Do what?
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: Brady's jawline took a while. His was after the fact.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: After the shot, you know?
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: I had an almond today.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: What else happened this weekend?
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: You're lying in the group chat about almond milk.
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: Okay, like, there's a lot of injuries out there and
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: a lot of people. And I was like, man, this
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: generation was raised on almond milk, and.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: It shows right now.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: There are a lot of injuries.
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: A lot of injuries.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: So many.
• 7:42
  Speaker 8: It's sad. It's sad to see. And then all levels
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: of play. And it's all star players. Everybody getting hurt.
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: People need to get back to cow's milk in about
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: a gallon a day when they're growing up.
• 7:53
  Speaker 10: I'll tell you who had a good weekend. Speaking of growth,
• 7:57
  Speaker 10: it is Colin Simmons. You heard you already talked about it.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah. That was fun. Pretty good.
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: Good for him. Good for him. Simulating using the restroom.
• 8:06
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it was nice that Dylan Stewart decided to take
• 8:08
  Speaker 10: one for the team there with the edge rush position
• 8:10
  Speaker 10: and be like, okay, guys, don't worry. You won't be
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: talking about this by tomorrow.
• 8:15
  Speaker 11: Just watch.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: Watch this. I'm going to punch someone in the face
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: mask three times.
• 8:20
  Speaker 11: And then go sit on the bench and then argue
• 8:22
  Speaker 11: with the coach.
• 8:23
  Speaker 10: Is there anything dumber that happens in a game where
• 8:26
  Speaker 10: you punch someone?
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: What is supposed to happen there?
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: I think it makes people feel better.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: Just once I want to see one person go, ah! Oh,
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: my God.
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: You hurt my face mask.
• 8:38
  Speaker 10: That was a tight end that was just like pancake
• 8:41
  Speaker 10: blocking him the entire game.
• 8:42
  Speaker 11: It does bother me in football more than other sports.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:44
  Speaker 11: Like baseball and basketball, I get it. You get pent up.
• 8:47
  Speaker 11: Like in football, you literally hit each other every single play.
• 8:50
  Speaker 11: Why are you punching a dude in the helmet?
• 8:51
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Hey, because we're meatheads and we don't know.
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: Throw an elbow in his neck during a play.
• 8:55
  Speaker 10: I do love that everyone's like, he's going to really
• 8:58
  Speaker 10: tank his draft stock.
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: It's like, it's not.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: It won't.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: He got five months for PR until the Combine.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Nothing tanks your draft stock anymore, Matt.
• 9:07
  Speaker 10: If Jalen Carter's draft stock did not go down significantly
• 9:10
  Speaker 10: after– I'm telling you.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: These people don't care anymore. Yeah. Not like they used to.
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: They just– can you play football?
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Are you currently in prison?
• 9:21
  Speaker 11: Yeah, if you're incarcerated, that's it.
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: We'll draft camp and get you out.
• 9:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah, if they can get you out, they're going to– yeah.
• 9:26
  Speaker 11: It's a Charlie Sheen on Major League. I don't think
• 9:29
  Speaker 11: I'll be ready by then.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: This is– Nah, I don't think I'll be ready, man.
• 9:32
  Speaker 10: You know what else was crazy was, so Texas had
• 9:35
  Speaker 10: five sacks on the season coming into that game, and
• 9:38
  Speaker 10: some idiot, that guy with glasses, was like, they don't
• 9:41
  Speaker 10: do a good job getting to the quarterback. And then
• 9:43
  Speaker 10: they had 10 sacks on Saturday, which is absurd. You
• 9:47
  Speaker 10: know that's only the second most in a game they've
• 9:48
  Speaker 10: had in program history? Because apparently one time in like 1980,
• 9:51
  Speaker 10: Doring posted this.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, he played in the game probably.
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: They had 15 against Texas Tech in one game?
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Stop throwing the ball at that point.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: What are we doing? They threw the football that many
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: times back then.
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: Unbelievable.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Jeez. I bet Doering just floating this weekend.
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: Oh, my God, dude.
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: After Florida beat Ole Miss like they did. Now, he's
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: got a love for Ole Miss, too.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Oh, he loves Oxford.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: Him and PB, the library, and it's so fun.
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: Because they can get in.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: I guess so. I don't really know.
• 10:25
  Speaker 10: You get in without it being $ 100. I always look
• 10:28
  Speaker 10: at it from the standpoint of, like, if you're in college,
• 10:31
  Speaker 10: what bars are you going to? And then having a
• 10:33
  Speaker 10: $ 100 cover to start the night seems a little bit steep.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: It does.
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: But Florida, I mean, we haven't talked about it yet.
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: I mean, complete dismantle of Ole Miss. And it's a
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: bad matchup for Ole Miss.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: It really is. And Ball's the best running back in
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: the country. Yeah. But that defense got after Ole Miss.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: They did. They put Trinidad in a blender.
• 10:57
  Speaker 10: You know what it looked like to me, too? And
• 10:59
  Speaker 10: I know you guys won't like to hear this, so
• 11:01
  Speaker 10: I'll say it. It felt like the way the Swamp looked,
• 11:05
  Speaker 10: it was like they had never left. Like, their relevance had, like,
• 11:08
  Speaker 10: I mean, it clearly has been terrible for the last
• 11:11
  Speaker 10: five years.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: No, we want Florida to be good.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: But they, that scene in the atmosphere.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: It's great.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: It looked incredible. Incredible once again.
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: It's a tough place to play.
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: It's a very tough place to play. And again, college
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: football is better when Florida is better. I don't want
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: them to be bad. So when LSU beats them, it
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: means something. Now we don't play this year for the
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: first time since the 70s. They're going to have to
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: rethink that. Well, dude, we were talking about it. How
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: good of a coach is Buster Faulkner, man? Because look
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: what Georgia Tech looks like right now without him.
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 11:45
  Speaker 11: And then he's dominating. Like, Aaron Fila misses a wide-open
• 11:49
  Speaker 11: touchdown pass. He's like, I don't care. I'm just going
• 11:51
  Speaker 11: to run it again. We're going to run it right
• 11:52
  Speaker 11: down the throat.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Good roots. Comes from a good high school.
• 11:57
  Speaker 8: Oh, my God.
• 11:57
  Speaker 10: Also, your next head coach at South Carolina. Let's just
• 12:00
  Speaker 10: say what it is. I mean, he's going to get
• 12:03
  Speaker 10: a P4 job. I was surprised he took this job
• 12:06
  Speaker 10: because I thought he was absolutely going to get a
• 12:08
  Speaker 10: P4 job already from Georgia Tech.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: But... What a smart move.
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: Maybe a group of six initially before this move, and
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: I think it's probably why you make it.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: But now. Now it's people. Yeah, for sure.
• 12:21
  Speaker 10: And it's smart to wait until after last year's hiring cycle,
• 12:24
  Speaker 10: 38 people, because now it's going to be even. I mean, like,
• 12:27
  Speaker 10: him and Baker are going to have– if Baker wants
• 12:29
  Speaker 10: to go, and, like, not speculating on it, I'm just saying, like,
• 12:32
  Speaker 10: those guys are.
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: Going to be sought after a ton.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: We're not doing that here.
• 12:34
  Speaker 8: Don't put that on us.
• 12:35
  Speaker 10: No.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: We're not going to do that here.
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: John David Baker, the Ole Miss offensive coordinator.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Not Blake. Yeah.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: Blake's going to live forever.
• 12:42
  Speaker 10: Here.
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: Here.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: In Baton Rouge.
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 12:45
  Speaker 8: Did you say that Texas had 10 sacks?
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: About three minutes ago.
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: And Tennessee almost won the games.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: Tennessee had.
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: You saying Arch isn't playing that great?
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: Arch on the road is terrible. Wait. He is not
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: a good quarterback.
• 12:59
  Speaker 9: On the road.
• 12:59
  Speaker 10: Let me.
• 13:01
  Speaker 9: I sent this in the group chat. Let me read
• 13:02
  Speaker 9: this to y'all real quick.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: This is a QB comparison between John Mateer and Arch Manning.
• 13:12
  Speaker 9: You tell me who's who.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 13:14
  Speaker 9: 73 for 110.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: 66.4%. Mateer.
• 13:15
  Speaker 9: 889 passing yards. Yards per attempt, 8. Passing touchdowns, 8.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Interceptions, 4.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: And NCAA passer rating, 151.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Who do you think that is?
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: John Mateer.
• 13:19
  Speaker 9: That's John Mateer. Arch Manning, 74 for 116.
• 13:21
  Speaker 10: 63.8%. 865.
• 13:21
  Speaker 9: 7.46 yards per attempt.
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: 7 touchdowns.
• 13:43
  Speaker 9: Three interceptions, 141 NCAA passer rating.
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: He's lower in every single category. And on the road,
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: he's terrible. Did you watch the game?
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: Neither one of those stats are bad.
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: No, but it's funny that.
• 13:59
  Speaker 8: John Mateer is.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: My point is that John Mateer is getting crapped on,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: rightfully so.
• 14:04
  Speaker 9: But Arch has kind of worse stats. Barely, they're neck
• 14:09
  Speaker 9: and neck.
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: That wasn't surprising to me because he's been bad. He
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: was bad on the road last year.
• 14:12
  Speaker 9: He's been bad, yeah.
• 14:13
  Speaker 10: What was surprising to me, and I did not think
• 14:16
  Speaker 10: this would ever be something I would say in the
• 14:17
  Speaker 10: year 2026, Will.
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: Muschamp still got it? Never lost it?
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: Honestly, no.
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: What's going on there?
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, never really, like, as a coordinator, he never
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: really lost it.
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: Now as a head coach, obviously he had ups and downs,
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: but as a coordinator, like when he was at Georgia,
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: like he was a big part of that staff that
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: nobody talked about because he didn't really want you to
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: talk about it.
• 14:37
  Speaker 9: Mm-hmm.
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: I remember the year they beat TCU, and I was
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: working the game for Sirius, and he was so mad
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: at me because I was making him do interviews. And
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: he's like, Hester, I'm trying to be in the shadows here.
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: Would you stop interviewing me? I go, well, now I
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: want to do even more. But he was a big
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: part of that. And he kind of stepped away as
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: far as his duties on his own. Nobody told him, hey,
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: you can't do this anymore. You've got to go, what?
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: Nothing. Duty. It's because I said duty.
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: No, no, it's because of Muschamp.
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: It was a more mature joke we were laughing at.
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you don't get it. It's highbrow humor. So you
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: were talking about his duties?
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Duties is what made you laugh?
• 15:20
  Speaker 11: He's still laughing.
• 15:21
  Speaker 10: To be clear, it made me laugh because I knew
• 15:23
  Speaker 10: this idiot was going to laugh. And then like three
• 15:25
  Speaker 10: minutes later, like usual, he's going to be like, he said, dude,
• 15:28
  Speaker 10: come on now.
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: That's crazy.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Anyways. I don't even remember who asked the question about Muschamp,
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: but no. Was it Mr. Pootie?
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: I don't know. Doody's objectively funny, though.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: Is it?
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: I mean, when you're 41, yeah, brother.
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: Come on now.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: I'm 41 and I didn't find it.
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: You talk about as far as like the words.
• 15:51
  Speaker 11: I said, Doody, get on my back.
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: You're telling me this Doody's free at the airport?
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: All free Doody. Come on now.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: You got to pay for that in some countries.
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: Hello.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: I don't really know where to go from here now
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: since we've made it here.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: What if we went to break?
• 16:11

  Speaker 5: like a gentleman, like you imagine when you were young.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: Higher now than ever before.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Who's vocals? Are you Marler? That's a really good singer.
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: Put on Cher if I can turn.
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: Back time.
• 18:19
  Speaker 9: What if you use the microphone?
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: So last week on the pontoon parlay, Alondra, you went
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: Tennessee to cover against Texas, correct?
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Good move. All right, so they covered. The game was
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: 20-17 Texas. They covered.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Boom.
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: I went with the Iowa Hawkeyes to cover the five
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: and a half against Michigan. They won straight up 20
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: to 19.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: Tay-Tay, what was yours?
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: Vandy to cover the nine and a half. Oh, yeah.
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: They lost by six.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Okay, cool.
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: Matt, what was yours?
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Matt, how'd yours go?
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: I'm lost. A little bit.
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: What did you pick?
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: Purdue? It was close, though. You were high on Purdue
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: coming into the season, right?
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: I did a bunch of research.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: On the Boilermakers.
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: It wasn't my first time. Tell us what the score was.
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: Mine is 27.
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: What was the final score there?
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: I don't remember, actually. I think it was 49-10 in
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: favor of the Irish.
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: A couple of calls didn't go their way, which happens
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: in live sports.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: It's in the script.
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: The first, I texted him on the way to the game.
• 19:20
  Speaker 9: Wide receiver three was out.
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: The thing, Marla, that pissed us off was As soon
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: as he said it, we said, that's dumb.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: It's going to cost the parlay.
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: Change your pick.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: And he didn't do it.
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: So what were the odds on the parlay?
• 19:33
  Speaker 9: Plus 1307. Are you kidding me, Matt?
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: How about this?
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: How stupid and duty can you be? It's a duty pick.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: So I sent this to the group. This is a
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: text from my mother. Yeah.
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: I bet $ 10 in the parlay without Matt's pick, and
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: it paid. $ 76. My mother knew to not include Flynn's pick,
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: and she got paid because she went with us three
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: and not Matt.
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: Well, why don't we just do that this week? If
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: I had to make the graphic.
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: We got a lot of tweets, too.
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: We got a lot of tweets of people being like,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: I faded Matt. I'm so glad I did.
• 20:08
  Speaker 10: I mean, you know what pissed me off besides having
• 20:10
  Speaker 10: to find Purdue's logo in Canva to make that stupid graphic?
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Purdue's like, hey, though.
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: That pissed me off more than anything. Because that was like,
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: for some reason, there's a bunch of them in there.
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: They have the old.
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: Have you seen the old Purdue logo? He's a lot
• 20:23
  Speaker 10: of pain behind those eyes.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: There's two things, three, that are good about Purdue. Drew Brees, obviously. Yeah, yeah.
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: Gordie Rush.
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: I didn't know that. Yeah, I forgot about that.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: Sorry, G. You don't make this list, though. Nick Hardwick,
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: my former teammate. And then Mike.
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: I didn't know you went there.
• 20:44
  Speaker 11: I thought that's why you said that's why you picked him.
• 20:47
  Speaker 9: I need everybody to boo Matt right now.
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: Boo!
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: And you deserve this. You can't even say anything.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: You can't.
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: What if I would have just lost a different game's
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: 50-50 class? Why this one?
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: Because Purdue is trash.
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: You don't know anything about Purdue.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: You only picked them because they're playing Notre Dame.
• 21:08
  Speaker 9: You wanted to dunk on Notre Dame.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: And I don't think you know anything about Notre Dame.
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I know they're trash.
• 21:13
  Speaker 9: That's fine.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: You can dunk on them for not being in a conference.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: You can dunk on them for having a soft schedule.
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: You can do that. But we all know that Purdue
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: was not going to cover that.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Costing people money.
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: Gas is $ 4 a gallon. Yeah.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Jesus.
• 21:28
  Speaker 9: That's on you for having a diesel truck.
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: You got a diesel truck?
• 21:31
  Speaker 9: You made that decision.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: Life's about choices and decisions. Bang, bang.
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: It wasn't that expensive when I bought the truck.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: Splash. I don't know.
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: I'm trying to do a gas sound.
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: This one's off the board, but Notre Dame's playing North
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: Carolina in Chapel Hill.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Notre Dame.
• 21:45
  Speaker 9: Oh, that's calling your name already.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: Notre Dame's a 21 and a half.
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: You know why? Because I always bet on the unks.
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: What? Oh, God.
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: You get it?
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: That's tough. I don't know.
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: Wow, if Chris is telling you that's tough.
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: If I'm telling you the dad, it's wearing on me already.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: It's pretty good. That's so true.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: I felt like my pick was pretty good. I feel
• 22:05
  Speaker 8: like if they played 10 more times, Purdue's covering that number.
• 22:08
  Speaker 10: I will say the one redeeming quality about you, Flynn,
• 22:11
  Speaker 10: is that I sent you the text.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: I was legit mad at him.
• 22:14
  Speaker 9: No, I was legitimately upset.
• 22:17
  Speaker 10: I sent you a text about it as I was
• 22:18
  Speaker 10: driving the LSU game, and you responded within 30 seconds,
• 22:21
  Speaker 10: which was crazy. And then you said, yeah, third string
• 22:24
  Speaker 10: wide receiver's out. I mean, they got lucky today. And
• 22:25
  Speaker 10: I was like, that's.
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: Hard to hate you.
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: No, it's not.
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: I've tried my best, but I mean, dang.
• 22:31
  Speaker 11: Guys, it's not my fault Purdue's wide receiver three was
• 22:34
  Speaker 11: a game time decision.
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: It went the wrong way. What else happened this weekend?
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: Here's some early lines for you to think about because
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: I think you need some more time.
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: There's one I like.
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: There's one I like, too.
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: Number seven, Alabama minus six on the road against Mississippi State.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Oh, it moved.
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: Oh, it moved up a lot.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: You've got, what was it? Four and a half.
• 22:54
  Speaker 9: Mine's four and a half.
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: I really like that four and a half.
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: I liked the four and a half. I don't know
• 22:58
  Speaker 9: if I'm going to do the six.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Let's see.
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: Georgia is a 24 and a half point favorite at
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: home against Vanderbilt.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: That might be one you look.
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: Which way do you like?
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: With Jared Curtis, who was committed to there for two years.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. Yeah.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: So you have said both of these.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: Hold on.
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: Ohio State on the road against the Iowa Hawkeyes, minus
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: 13 and a half.
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: Oh, it's on the road.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: It's on the road. Yeah. It is in Iowa City.
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: Florida minus four and a half on the road in
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: Como against Missouri.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: Very interesting spot there.
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: Auburn and Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee minus seven. Number 24, Kentucky,
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: on the road to Columbia, South Carolina. South Carolina, two
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: and a half point favorite.
• 23:43
  Speaker 10: It was three and a half yesterday. Just give me
• 23:46
  Speaker 10: Kentucky money line before I say the F word on air.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: Miami. Wait, Miami's 17 and a half point favorite against Clemson?
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: On the road. Biggest home deficit they've had in like.
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: That thing before the season opened up like seven. I
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: was talking about it earlier. I did not know it
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: went up to 17 and a half.
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: Is that a Wednesday night game?
• 24:05
  Speaker 11: It just seems like Miami refuses to play on Saturdays.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: I know. They really do.
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: That was a good day. That was really good.
• 24:11
  Speaker 11: It's a match in Clemson, Miami?
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: We're getting close to it.
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: Indiana in the worst country or schedule in the country,
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: I should say, 24.5 point favorite on the road against Rutgers.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: So that's a tough one.
• 24:25
  Speaker 10: Is that it? It's kind of a weak slate in
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: the night games. A & M and Arkansas.
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: So after dark in the top 25, you've got BYU
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: at TCU, Miami at Clemson, Texas Tech at Colorado, Washington
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: at USC, Utah State at Boise State.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: McNeese at LSU, and Indiana at Rutgers.
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: I don't know why you threw McNeese in there, but
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: I do.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: Because the game's after dark in the top 25. Oh, okay. Yeah.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: That's every one of them.
• 24:51
  Speaker 10: At USC Washington. That does something for me. That's a
• 24:56
  Speaker 10: friends and family game. I ain't watching that.
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: Washington did lose this weekend. I forgot to who, but yeah. Tough.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Washington lost to Minnesota.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: Did you see P.J. Flock afterwards?
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: He wiped the player's blood on his face.
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: Hell yeah, P.J.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: That was weird.
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: That was super weird.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: Look, I love me get stuff like that, but that
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: was a little weird.
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: That's a biohazard.
• 25:16
  Speaker 11: It's like when you kill your first deer and you
• 25:18
  Speaker 11: got to wipe it.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: He's like, come here, boy. We've all done that.
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: That's a 20-year-old sophomore tight end. Another human's blood.
• 25:23
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: Another human's blood. I don't know. Blood just grosses me out.
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: And then it's another person's. No, he rubbed it on
• 25:31
  Speaker 9: his face.
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: He sniffed his hand while he was walking away. Did
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: y'all see that part?
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: No.
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: That's also weird.
• 25:37
  Speaker 9: I'm about to throw up.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: I don't like that.
• 25:40
  Speaker 9: I'm about to throw up.
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: It was an odd weekend.
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: You ain't above sniffing a hand. Other person's blood on it.
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: Now we're talking about marinating it? I mean, come on now.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: Marinating is crazy.
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: Don't tell me twice. I'll be sniffing.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Ew.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Okay, I hate this. What? I hate this, actually. So
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: your favorite play is Alabama?
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: It's not my favorite play. I liked it way more
• 26:07
  Speaker 10: at four and a half. I do not want to
• 26:08
  Speaker 10: doubt Mississippi State.
• 26:10
  Speaker 9: I was going to go State four.
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: And a half.
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, which makes me like it more.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, you were going to go.
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: That's what my question was. Y'all are saying all these, like,
• 26:18
  Speaker 8: you like the line. And I was listening to it.
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: I was like, I don't know which way you like
• 26:21
  Speaker 8: these lines.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: None of them seem real obvious to me.
• 26:25
  Speaker 10: What?
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Matt.
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: Well, we know. After this weekend.
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: After this weekend.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, I just.
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: Wait, no one even said Purdue. Who's Purdue got?
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: That's why everybody gambles because everybody wins every time.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Oh, we have a.
• 26:37
  Speaker 10: Lot.
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: I don't like the win.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: I don't like the way you're trying to spin this.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: And I'm 10-0 in our last two weeks in the
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: ones that you said. Really?
• 26:45
  Speaker 8: I wish losses on all of y'all this week.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: Oh, on picks, picks. Not against the spread.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just against picks.
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's still legit, though.
• 26:51
  Speaker 10: The lock of the week on Big Pigs Energy, a
• 26:55
  Speaker 10: little pun, on LouisianaSports.net is 5-1 this year.
• 27:00
  Speaker 9: Congrats.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: Thank you. It's the one good thing that's happening in
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: my life. Big Pigs Energy?
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: Made it like four years ago.
• 27:06
  Speaker 10: I feel so bad that William has to edit that
• 27:08
  Speaker 10: because he's the nicest man I've ever met.
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: He's just recycling Michael Pinnock's jokes, I think.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: Shut up, man.
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: Just because that's right.
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: Sit over there in the corner and blow your spit bubbles.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: Be quiet.
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: Go Falcons.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Dude.
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: Let's talk about that for a second.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: No, let's not. Purdue has Illinois this week.
• 27:25
  Speaker 8: I was wondering about who Notre Dame has.
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: Probably Bielema.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: Like you said.
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: How about Bielema fired his defensive coordinator that he hired
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: in February?
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: Tough.
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: What, did he steal something from the fridge? Eat his leftovers?
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: Nah, I think he's just bad at calling defenses.
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: Did you see?
• 27:43
  Speaker 11: He's going to be the coordinator.
• 27:45
  Speaker 10: The white kid that was running. With Jeremiah Smith. And
• 27:49
  Speaker 10: Jeremiah Smith just kept zigzagging, and he was just, like, lost.
• 27:53
  Speaker 10: Looking back, kept.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Running a straight line. I don't know why he had
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: to bring it up like that. It was a bad matchup.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: It was like a linebacker on Jeremiah Smith.
• 28:00
  Speaker 10: To this day, the funniest thing I've watched Ohio State
• 28:03
  Speaker 10: do on a football field was try to match up
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: that white kid against Devontae Smith in the national championship.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: Let's check milk.
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: They did it multiple times.
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, check milk when you see that. That's not good. Anyway.
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: What does Czech milk mean, Jake?
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: Sam Levitt looked really.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: Good this weekend.
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: Did you guys talk about that?
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: Uh-uh. We haven't gotten there yet.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: Sam Levitt was good this weekend.
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: There was a couple throws.
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: You're breaking news to me.
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 28:29
  Speaker 10: The accuracy on some of the in-cut slants and stuff
• 28:33
  Speaker 10: like that in the intermediate game, still a little bit off,
• 28:35
  Speaker 10: a little bit behind.
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: The receivers did a great job of catching it.
• 28:38
  Speaker 10: But he threw about three or four balls, not even
• 28:40
  Speaker 10: the fourth and one, that were just absolute trash.
• 28:44
  Speaker 11: The one to Jackson Harris in the back of the
• 28:45
  Speaker 11: end zone.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: And then there was one that was, like, from the
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: press box. It was coming towards us, towards the LSU sideline.
• 28:52
  Speaker 11: Tripp's right here. Watkins on, like, the flag route.
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: That's what I was just about to say.
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: That one?
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah. It was beautiful.
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: Love seeing that.
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: Watch Eye in the Sky tomorrow if you want to
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: learn the actual terms of the actual routes and the
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: coverage that they were playing.
• 29:07
  Speaker 9: He's coming my way.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: Yes, he was. Much better with the foot. It was
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: really good. the injury, like, really did.
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: It really, like, factually helped him.
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: It was great to see.
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: Like, even, like, his clock was so much better. Yeah.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: You could tell, like, it was just like, all right,
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: let me go through. All right. All right. Nothing wasn't
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: jerky and sped up.
• 29:30
  Speaker 9: He said it himself.
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: It was nice to see.
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: He was like, week four, I always get injured. Just
• 29:34
  Speaker 9: a little something to keep me in the pocket.
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: He said that?
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: He did.
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: Oh, good for him.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: It was planned.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: Self-awareness.
• 29:41
  Speaker 9: He was like, I usually get injured around week four.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: Because you play like the juggernaut out there. You know?
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: And again, you were probably raised on almond milk.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 29:53
  Speaker 10: I will say one of the most impressive things about
• 29:55
  Speaker 10: that kid is how serious he takes every single part
• 29:58
  Speaker 10: of his process. And you can say what you want
• 30:01
  Speaker 10: to about the accuracy or whatever else. Like, I know
• 30:03
  Speaker 10: that he's, like, the game in Oxford was tough. But
• 30:07
  Speaker 10: the moment that kid came in and was like, I
• 30:09
  Speaker 10: just assumed a kid from Arizona State coming to Baton
• 30:11
  Speaker 10: Rouge was probably going to enjoy the nightlife.
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: And he's like, yeah, 8 o'clock, man.
• 30:14
  Speaker 10: I put my phone on D & D, put on
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: the blue light glasses, and get ready for bed.
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: I'm like, this guy rules.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Is that what you were doing, Flynn?
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: Sam, this is just man-to-man here. Sometimes you just got
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: to stay up a little late and have a beer.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, or eight. I mean. Or more. A little pop
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: or two.
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: Sometimes it falls on a Thursday before a game.
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: Sometimes you got to walk in on Flynn basically drinking
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: beer out of a straw because he's playing Guitar Hero
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: and he can't work his hands.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sometimes you just.
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: What was the song?
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: He was shredding on everything. Oh, yeah?
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you know. Grit doesn't just grow from blue light glasses.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: You slam that thing.
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: He has completed 64% of his passes this year. So, like,
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: even in the Ole Miss game where he wasn't perfect
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: by any means, I mean, certainly we pointed that out,
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: he still had plays within that game.
• 31:07
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: You are four inches away from potentially tying that game
• 31:10
  Speaker 10: up at the end of regulation. Also, Kiffin, fun fact,
• 31:14
  Speaker 10: improves a 7-0 in his last seven games coming off
• 31:17
  Speaker 10: a loss. Four of those against ranked teams, winning by
• 31:19
  Speaker 10: an average of 17.8 points per game.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: How about that? Love that. That feels like some information
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: you can find on LouisianaSports.net.
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: One of the one numbers that was worth looking up

  Speaker 9: Was that a Madden that this was on like.
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: The actual main screen of?
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: Jet, right?
• 33:31
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that was the Tony Hawk game, no?
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: It might have been that too, but it was either
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: a FIFA or a Madden.
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: I think it was a Madden because I remember it.
• 33:39
  Speaker 11: And it was.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: One hit wonder, I think, for old Jet.
• 33:45

• 33:53
  Speaker 11: One hit wonder.
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: Would you rather be a one hit wonder or never
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: have a hit? There's a lot of people that are
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: just taking it very seriously.
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: I'm having a hard time not taking that personally for
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: some reason.
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: Would you rather be a one-hit wonder or never have
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: a hit?
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: I would rather have one-hit wonder, right?
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: I'm just asking.
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: A lot of musicians feel like it's like a black plague.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: You get called a one-hit wonder.
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: Think about how much money you make off the one hit.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: What's the biggest one-hit wonder ever? Never gonna give you up. No.
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: Macarena's up there.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: Macarena's probably the answer. Ice Ice Baby might be in
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: the running, though.
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: First off, not a one-hit wonder because Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: I love that. I love that. I do. But he
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: was a one-hit wonder.
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: What about Call Me Maybe? That was a big one.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: That was a big one.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:46
  Speaker 11: What was her name?
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: Carly Rae Jepsen.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: Not in the Ice Ice Baby.
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: Higginbotham. Carly Rae Jepsen, Higginbotham III.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: Macarena category. That was crazy.
• 34:55
  Speaker 11: Your Love, The.
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: Outfield, that's a big one.
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: I don't know what that is at all. Oh, is that?
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: I would have never guessed that was the outfield.
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: We got it.
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: That was really good.
• 35:09
  Speaker 9: We should start a band.
• 35:10
  Speaker 10: What are you doing?
• 35:15
  Speaker 8: Are You Gonna Be My Girl was on the soundtrack
• 35:17
  Speaker 8: of Madden NFL 2004.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: I think it was the first Madden I played. I
• 35:23
  Speaker 8: thought that song came out in 2007.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: That would have been my senior year in high school.
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: At least 04, Chris Madden.
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: You were 04? I thought you were 03. He should
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: have been 03, but he was old.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: I went to Evangel. We were the same age. I'm
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: older than you. I got seniority.
• 35:38
  Speaker 10: I still have my Forrest Davis recruiting annual with Brock
• 35:42
  Speaker 10: Berlin on the cover.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: We talk about Brock Berlin probably more than we talk
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: about anybody on this show. Really?
• 35:47
  Speaker 8: Brock Berlin gets brought up once a week.
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: I hope somewhere in Shreveport, as we play there 3
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: to 5 in the afternoon, that Brock's driving in his
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: car and he hears it.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: Every time.
• 35:57
  Speaker 9: He gives us a little nod.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: I hope he does. Every time.
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: Talk about him a lot. Not a lot of people
• 36:03
  Speaker 8: I'd be starstruck in front of.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: Brock Burland, no doubt.
• 36:06
  Speaker 10: He actually texted me this weekend and said, Purdue minus
• 36:08
  Speaker 10: 27 and a half is stupid.
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: Me and Brock go way back. I was like, B-Rock,
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: what up, big dog? And he goes, Till Flynn, he's
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: a moron.
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: You know how Jeffrey and Cor was for your area?
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: That was Brock Burland for Shreveport.
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: Oh, I mean, but he was national.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Brock won like, USA Today Player of the Year.
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what I said. He was on the cover
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: of the magazine. He still had it.
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: But I'm saying he had that kind of following. I mean,
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: Francoeur had that too, though. Baseball's not as big as football,
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: but we knew about Francoeur from... I mean, we played
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: against him, so that helped, but it was like the
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: legend of.
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: Not in football.
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: No, in baseball.
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: It was like the legend of Francoeur, and then he
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: hit one over the lights, and so it was like, oh.
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that guy.
• 36:55
  Speaker 10: To this day, The state championship, it's the most absurd
• 37:00
  Speaker 10: thing I've ever watched in person.
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: Did you guys not play together? Yeah, he was a senior.
• 37:04
  Speaker 10: I was a sophomore. So in the state championship series,
• 37:07
  Speaker 10: it was the best of three. We played Lasseter. Lasseter
• 37:09
  Speaker 10: was a very, very good national school. They had three
• 37:11
  Speaker 10: guys that went D1. Their starters were Georgia Tech and
• 37:15
  Speaker 10: Florida off the mound. He went six for seven with
• 37:19
  Speaker 10: four home runs, two doubles, and got both wins on
• 37:23
  Speaker 10: the mound.
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: In relief.
• 37:25
  Speaker 10: And the funniest part was he comes up in what
• 37:27
  Speaker 10: we thought was his last at-bat. It's a close game,
• 37:28
  Speaker 10: game two, and we're winning. And he hits a home run.
• 37:31
  Speaker 10: And they're like, even their fans are like clapping, you know,
• 37:35
  Speaker 10: standing ovation. We end up catching fire and batting around.
• 37:38
  Speaker 10: And I'm like, there's no way. He's on deck. There's
• 37:41
  Speaker 10: like one out. Guy up to bat. Strikes out. And
• 37:44
  Speaker 10: the base is loaded. Ends his career on a grand slam.
• 37:47
  Speaker 10: And it was just like, dude, like everything he did
• 37:48
  Speaker 10: was like, it was stupid like that.
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: It was awesome.
• 37:51
  Speaker 11: Speaking of ending your career, we forgot to give a...
• 37:54
  Speaker 11: We can win her to Justin Verlander.
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: That was cool.
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: That was awesome.
• 37:59
  Speaker 11: I had it this morning. I was like, I'm going
• 38:00
  Speaker 11: to have the trophy, and I forgot. His wife and
• 38:03
  Speaker 11: daughter go out there and take him off the mound.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: Scherzer as well. Is he done? I think he might
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: be done.
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: They said he got– did he go off on a walk?
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he did. He pitched into the eighth inning. Yeah.
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: Old cat eyes.
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: He's famous for basically telling his manager to go back
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: to the dugout and go, you know what? And so
• 38:25
  Speaker 7: he came out one time, and they were laughing about it.
• 38:27
  Speaker 7: And then he came out the second time to get him,
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: and it was like a whole deal.
• 38:30
  Speaker 9: His daughter came out.
• 38:31
  Speaker 7: And then he went into the crowd and hugged his
• 38:34
  Speaker 7: kids and his wife and everything.
• 38:36
  Speaker 10: My favorite ever was that guy who was kind of
• 38:38
  Speaker 10: a nobody for the A's a couple years ago. And
• 38:41
  Speaker 10: this is like, it's in the last 10 years. It
• 38:44
  Speaker 10: might be in the last five.
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 38:45
  Speaker 10: But he was just a hitter. And his last game,
• 38:48
  Speaker 10: they're playing in the old Coliseum.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: That's the manager of the Guardians now.
• 38:52
  Speaker 10: Is it?
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: And his kids announced his last at bat.
• 38:55
  Speaker 10: Now batting number 10, my dad.
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: And he gets a home run.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: That was three years ago. That was it? He's the
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: manager of the Guardians now. That was awesome. Steven Voigt?
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that sounds right.
• 39:06
  Speaker 9: Who just got fired yesterday? Somebody just got fired. One
• 39:11
  Speaker 9: of the managers in MLB.
• 39:13
  Speaker 10: I will tell you that the Red Sox, that was
• 39:16
  Speaker 10: my first thought. The Red Sox and Cubs playing in
• 39:19
  Speaker 10: Tropicana Field yesterday is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
• 39:22
  Speaker 9: The Mariners manager, Dan Wilson, he got fired.
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: Didn't they just do really well last year?
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: Went to the World Series last year.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Or, sorry.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: ALCS last year.
• 39:31
  Speaker 9: Yeah, they finished, well, I guess it's going to be,
• 39:34
  Speaker 9: they're 76 and 86 this season.
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: Those libs.
• 39:36
  Speaker 8: It's not his fault that the big dumper was ass
• 39:38
  Speaker 8: this year.
• 39:39
  Speaker 9: The big dumper was not dumb.
• 39:40
  Speaker 11: You want to talk about a one-in-one in sports, maybe
• 39:43
  Speaker 11: Cal Raleigh.
• 39:44
  Speaker 10: He had less hits in the first half of the
• 39:47
  Speaker 10: season than he had.
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: Home runs last year. That's tough to do. Couldn't be me, brother.
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: I hit two home runs.
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: Ever?
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: I don't know. Hester, we don't need to talk about it.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: Ever or in college?
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: In college.
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: Okay. I thought you meant like ever, like growing up.
• 40:04
  Speaker 8: Most people have never hit any in college.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:07
  Speaker 6: That's true. Can we look up your stats in college? Yeah,
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: you don't need to. They're real bad.
• 40:12
  Speaker 7: Coming back, Chris Marler's stats right here on OTB.
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: Off the Bench.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Off the Bench with Hester and Flynn, presented by Bayou Automotive.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back here.
• 40:44
  Speaker 8: Off the Bench, Monday morning, closing out the show. Before
• 40:46
  Speaker 8: we do, I want to tell you about our friends
• 40:47
  Speaker 8: over at Catalyst. When you think about Louisiana, you think
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: about energy, and one company helping shape the future is Catalyst. Catalyst,
• 40:53
  Speaker 8: developing the commonwealth LNG export facility over there in Cameron
• 40:56
  Speaker 8: Parish connecting American natural gas with customers around the world.
• 41:00
  Speaker 8: Now under construction after reaching its final investment decision in 2026,
• 41:03
  Speaker 8: the project represents a major investment in Louisiana's future. But
• 41:07
  Speaker 8: it's about more than just exporting energy. It's about creating
• 41:09
  Speaker 8: Louisiana jobs, supporting local businesses, strengthening communities, and reinforcing Louisiana's
• 41:14
  Speaker 8: position as one of the world's leading energy hubs. Through
• 41:17
  Speaker 8: its natural gas production and the Commonwealth LNG project, Caterus
• 41:20
  Speaker 8: is helping build an integrated energy platform that connects domestic
• 41:23
  Speaker 8: resources with growing global demand. As construction continues on Louisiana's
• 41:28
  Speaker 8: Gulf Coast, Caterus is proud to invest in American energy,
• 41:31
  Speaker 8: American workers, and a stronger economic future. Caterus, connecting Louisiana
• 41:36
  Speaker 8: energy to the world.
• 41:40
  Speaker 9: With Mario?
• 41:41
  Speaker 8: Mario, are you holding my hand?
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: Oh, y'all holding hands over there?
• 41:46
  Speaker 8: My mint wore out right in the middle.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Classic. Bold.
• 41:50
  Speaker 8: Cottonmouth.
• 41:51
  Speaker 9: Classic mint wear out.
• 41:53
  Speaker 8: Happens every time.
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: Chris Marler, 2004, perfect game profile.
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: No, don't do the bad one. Do the good one.
• 42:00
  Speaker 8: You said that one was good.
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: They said I.
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: Had a solid body.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: 6'180.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: He was a 7 as his highest grade. Fell to
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: a 5.5.
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: Okay, why did we have to put that part in there?
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: 7'25, 60-yard dash. Hey, by the way.
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: That's not very good. In college, 669.
• 42:17
  Speaker 10: I swear to God. I did the whole thing. I
• 42:20
  Speaker 10: swear to God you can ask anybody.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: I swear to God, no.
• 42:23
  Speaker 8: 669 in college?
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: 669.
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: There's no chance. I put on soccer cleats.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: And I was. I know how fast I was, and
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: I know what that time is in the 60s.
• 42:31
  Speaker 10: I'm telling you right now, I will bet you anything
• 42:34
  Speaker 10: on my life.
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: I'm not lying to you about this.
• 42:36
  Speaker 8: I mean, is there documented proof of this?
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: No.
• 42:38
  Speaker 6: We was at scout day in my junior year. Not
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: at that technical college.
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: You went to. That's what I'm saying.
• 42:41
  Speaker 8: I'm like, how do we prove or disprove?
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: These guys play professional baseball.
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: Here's what it says about Chris Marler.
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: We had two third-round draft picks.
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: You actually did get a really good high school. I'll
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: give him that.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: First and third baseman with a strong body.
• 42:53
  Speaker 6: Go to the old one. Don't give me the balance.
• 42:55
  Speaker 7: It says runs okay, but arm strength more geared to
• 42:59
  Speaker 7: first base.
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: Nice swing with some loft. Good hands, smooth rhythm.
• 43:06
  Speaker 7: Could develop some serious wood bat power potential.
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: Did not at all.
• 43:11
  Speaker 11: No, look, it's actually all time freezing.
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: That's actually pretty good. That's it.
• 43:15
  Speaker 7: Like your seven, three, seven, 60 yard dash.
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: You got better. Apparently a lot better.
• 43:19
  Speaker 6: So here's what I did.
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: Remember that?
• 43:21
  Speaker 10: Remember when they started doing the workout thing out in Arizona,
• 43:23
  Speaker 10: like the pre-draft process, like Vernon Davis and Jason Veritech.
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: I started doing that. And I, I don't know what happened.
• 43:29
  Speaker 10: But I just only trained on– I became a really
• 43:32
  Speaker 10: good runner, and everyone would make fun of me because
• 43:33
  Speaker 10: we would do these stupid runs.
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: I was not– I had no power. I had no arm.
• 43:38
  Speaker 10: I was, like, very limited in what I could do.
• 43:40
  Speaker 10: But we would go on these distance runs, and they'd
• 43:41
  Speaker 10: be like, good job, Chris.
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: You won again.
• 43:43
  Speaker 10: That's not going to help you on the baseball field.
• 43:44
  Speaker 10: I'm like, yeah, but did you guys see how fast
• 43:46
  Speaker 10: I was?
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: All right, so that was your 5.5.
• 43:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: And that was still pretty good.
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: Get the 7 in there, dog.
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: Your 7, it says, Marler is a good switch hitter.
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: We all knew that.
• 43:55
  Speaker 9: Switch hitter.
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: Doody. Hey, how about this?
• 43:58
  Speaker 9: Get out my butt.
• 44:00
  Speaker 7: He does some other good things, but they all pale
• 44:02
  Speaker 7: in comparison.
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: To his bat. Thank you. Thank you.
• 44:04
  Speaker 8: Do you have this thing memorized?
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: These are my daily affirmations.
• 44:10
  Speaker 9: He's like, wait for it.
• 44:12
  Speaker 8: Wait for this. I'll wait for this next word.
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: It's right here. It says pale in comparison.
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: It says Hanes. I just saw that.
• 44:20
  Speaker 9: No, it just says pale.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: I really want a shirt with this picture on it.
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: It's so bad.
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: I really do.
• 44:26
  Speaker 10: So what's funny is it's the day after the Miami-Ohio
• 44:30
  Speaker 10: State game, and I had food poisoning, and I was
• 44:32
  Speaker 10: sick as a dog.
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: Food poisoning. You look really pale.
• 44:35
  Speaker 10: I was throwing up in a goldfish bucket, like the goldfish,
• 44:38
  Speaker 10: the big box, because I was snacking.
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: Back in the day, we took our food seriously. Our diets.
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: It was a tough, tough trip driving from.
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: Atlanta, Miami.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: My favorite was arm better suited for first.
• 44:51
  Speaker 10: We had to lie at scout day that I hit
• 44:53
  Speaker 10: 80 miles an hour.
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: It says 60 something here.
• 44:56
  Speaker 6: That was in high school. I got way better, way
• 44:58
  Speaker 6: better in college.
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: 79.
• 44:59
  Speaker 6: Cause the Vernon Davis.
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: What was the, what was the batting average?
• 45:04
  Speaker 6: Two 73 the last year. First year was tough.
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: First year. My first year. Three years though. Yeah.
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: A red shirt freshman.
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: I had 308 in college.
• 45:13
  Speaker 6: My freshman year didn't count.
• 45:14
  Speaker 10: 208 the next year. 40% of my hits were triples,
• 45:22
  Speaker 10: including one that was a game-tying one against Augusta State
• 45:24
  Speaker 10: where I missed the bag at third completely. Slid headfirst
• 45:28
  Speaker 10: for the first time in my life.
• 45:29
  Speaker 6: Oh, wow. My newfound speed. And I remember I looked
• 45:31
  Speaker 6: up and my coach goes, what the are you doing?
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: I don't know. We ask that all the time, but
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: we love you. It's okay. Thanks, guys. We'll do that tomorrow.
• 45:40
