Morning Scone, Ep. 2325: Saints Sign Free Agent Tight End | Happy Father’s Day!
[Music] [Music] okay what’s up everybody good morning welcome to a Sunday Father’s Day edition of morning scone presented by bro although the Brock sign is being overtaken by The Father’s Day balloons how about how about we do that presented by Brock and Parish you need orthopedist you go to Brock you need a roof you called parish and of course restored motions restored motions. comom all right everybody good morning Happy Father’s Day uh all right happy Father’s Day to all the dads uh hope your day day is wonderful uh I’ve already had a pretty full morning got up early went already went and worked out got myself a cold shower uh Erica gave me uh some wonderful Father’s Day presents including this is our annual Father’s Day matching shirt so I don’t know if you can see it’s a Taylor Swift theme Father’s Day era daddy uh Drew’s vers Daddy and Drew’s version so like a Taylor Swift uh Father’s Day shirt and uh got the match mug to go with it uh there so Drew’s got his as well so we were on Father’s Day if you’re new to the scone household or to morning scone here uh Erica gets me and Drew um a matching uh shirt swimsuit with outfits for for Father’s Day so anyway um got some good stuff got a ring light so um I’ll have instead of like a lamp and darkness I’ll have a ring light now so professional lighting uh got a really cool Bluetooth speaker take that with us when we go to the beach in a couple weeks uh got some cold plunge stuff uh some like packets uh that you fill up free so that cold plunge add and go back BuyBacks ice every day so good stuff hope all the dads get treated wonderfully today um all right we’ll say some good morning mornings here glad to have you aboard uh this happened Friday but I was traveling Friday and then yesterday we were talking primarily about LSU adding the um um a Devon sheer and the transfer pitcher but the Saints did sign tight end jper horstead interesting because of course Joan Johnson hurt his foot had surgery on his foot unknown if he’ll be ready for the start of the year so the Saints need a tight end the reason I find this most interesting is when you look at jeser horad and look he doesn’t have like a long distinguished career or anything he’s 27 years old he was undrafted out of Princeton in 2019 uh three seasons with the Bears two seasons with the Raiders and now with the Saints and um notably of course 2022 with the Raiders their starting tight end was Foster Morrow they had Darren Waller as well but Foster Morrow of course quarterback was drik Carr so another former Raider that the Saints have gone and snagged but again the other thing that I think is maybe most important here is the thing that I keep saying about about the Saints tight end room with Clint kubak we had become accustomed over 15 years to seeing the Saints use athletic pass catching tight ends uh and you know the long list go all the way back to Jeremy shaki we can go to uh Jimmy Graham and Kobe fleiner and Ben Watson and Jared Cook and Adam Troutman and on and on and on and on they keep trying to find these athletic pass catching tight ends well when you look at Clint kubak he is more of a traditional prototype tight end three you know three-point stands attached to the line of scrimmage think George KD think Kyle Rudolph now they go you got Foster Morrow you go get jper hestad like I’m not telling you jper horad is going to be an awesome player played 15 games for the Raiders um last year played in like half their special team snaps so he’s a good special teams player and a and a third tight end potentially or a second tight end if you need but my point continues to to remain what we have programmed ourselves to think the Saints need with a tight end with even Tamm Hill in that role or Jawan Johnson that’s not what Clint kubak wants in a tight end so at least not historically so I don’t know what kind of role C you know uh Jawan Johnson would play anyway in this offense so anyway uh just something worth filing away so we’ll see if jper horad makes the team if he amounts or how healthy Jaan Johnson will be so all right we’ll say some good mornings here um Happy Father’s Day again all the dads who might just be jumping aboard if you’re on YouTube please smash the like button subscribe to the channel Facebook please uh like and follow the page and all that stuff we appreciate you for being there uh again if you’re I’ll keep reminding our Facebook audience trialing something for a couple of weeks I’ve I’ve streamed live to my Facebook page for years now and long story short is Facebook has changed their whole monetization policy and everything so so I had to put my profile into professional mode where you can go follow my profile and then I could stream from there so I’m trying it for about two weeks to see how it goes so if you would just do me a solid if you’re if you’re seeing the profile for the first time that’s the um it’s the page if you’re on Facebook that has it’s the the profile picture is me and Erica in New York so if you’ll just follow that page that would be great or that profile okay uh let’s see cun country Happy Father’s Day hope you have a day special thanks for the tip on Florida A&M I was thinking the overs on both games today so um my um College World Series bets so far have been flawless I gave you uh North Carolina and the under in that game which hit I gave you Tennessee money line which by the hardest hit and then yesterday I had A&M and the under in that game of five and0 so far in the games I’ve given you on uh at the College World Series so just saying man um your boy is still riding a heater in college baseball maybe I should actually be betting these games um today Virginia floor State North Carolina tenness I would so I definitely like North Carolina on the money line today North Carolina is plus 130 again the biggest problem that Tennessee has is pitching and I think North Carolina has a deep pitching staff and I think Tennessee does not Tennessee can hit and they can slug their way to a win but I think North Carolina can hit as well as we saw they hit 315 as a team they hit a bunch of bomb Ms and Tennessee doesn’t have like that’s Tennessee’s big bugaboos they don’t have pitching so my I would tell you I like North Carolina this isn’t an emotional play I like North Carolina to beat Tennessee today that would be my play in that one and the first game Virginia Florida State um boy can uh can Florida State get off the mat that would be a really really big question that’s that’s probably a staya away for me I would probably go under the 11 and a half in Virginia Florida State if I was going to make a play I’d go under 11 a half and I like North Carolina to win I like North Carolina on the money line but if you want to play safe play The Run line with with UNC uh let’s see murder giraffe all about sports next year you and mush show should do joint postgame shows yeah you’re for baseball probably Not Gon to happen it’s just way too hard to coordinate that so um that just candidly that’s that’s probably that Canna happen Glenn Leblon Abner Neil uh Happy Father’s Day thank you

he was a good defensive coordinator at A&M and um you know the real challenge uh especially in an SEC that just adds Texas and Oklahoma is recruiting and maintaining your roster at that level so sorry but I think you’ll do fine Kyle good morning thank you sir same to you Jesse is a meor College World Series have a ton of walk-off wins yes um three of the first four games were walk-off wins and the other was the one last night that I didn’t candidly did not stay up to watch the whole thing with Florida and A&M the 3-2 game but it was a 3-2 game where as I understand it I didn’t see the Highlight I read about it but A&M apparently robbed a home run to win the game so yeah man wend Carl the new chingle is great thank you Carl appreciate it man uh yeah for those who are might be interested I

Jerry G Happy Father’s Day Christopher I’m gonna go kares Christopher keger I’m banking on the last syllable Reis being pronounced Reese so I’m going kares did I nail it Christopher give me a phonetic spelling there at the bottom if you’re still here Christopher you posted that about seven minutes ago but I’m gonna go kares I’m interested if I got it kares Christopher kares let’s see if he posts kgis oh so you misspelled it or that just kegeris kegeris you still didn’t really spell it phonetically right there it doesn’t really help tremendously kgis you’d have to use a hyphen for each syllable but either way um let’s see so to Christopher’s question um more blocking tight ends probably not a bad idea this year I agree um I completely agree yes any help in protecting your quarterback is would probably be much much needed Janet glad Drew had a good report with the cardiologist thank you jna we did E good visit easy visit was great hey Dad good morning Happy Father’s Day there’s my dad uh the freaking Deacon uh as Josh inis once coined him years and years ago uh best dad in the world uh greatest example of how to be a great dad and husband and father and uh good Christian man and I am super super super blessed to have had uh to have not have had to have uh you as a dad in an example so I love you dad we’ll see you later today Bill tour the rose bull has planned KY boy we don’t need a tight end yeah you do if nothing else you need you need a camp body if nothing else you don’t have enough bodies at that position um you see that’s the thing with Joan Johnson is Jawan Johnson is hurt he had foot he is having foot surgery and he’s out um so you do need a tight end you have Foster Morrow Jaan Johnson’s hurt you sign D Hulker the undrafted free agent out of pit right no I’m sorry at Colorado State um so yeah you do you do need a tight end you need bodies um there you go Jerry Ryan Pike how about the Florida A&M under pick I mean I’m not out here trying to do Victory laps or nothing I’m just telling you and I’m not telling you I know a whole lot I’ve just I’ve had an uncanny run this year um in college baseball with the picks we do with miny and everything and so far my College World Series picks someone check me if I’m wrong but are five and0 now I gave you Tennessee on the first day I gave you North Carolina and the under in that game both hit I gave you Tennessee on the money line which hit by the hardest but it hit we need a miracle in the ninth inning but it hit um and then yesterday I gave you A&M and the under in that game I’m five and0 right now so and I I just someone just asked the two plays again without looking deep into it at all um I like North Carolina on the money line today to beat Tennessee and I like the under in the first game uh the Virginia Florida State game um Iron sead googan uh Ryan Pike got under 12 and a half to today for Florida State good for you that’s I just saw it’s at 11 and a half you got 12 and a half good for you I’d still play the under at 11 and a half Timothy thank you man uh Chuck bro thank you Chuck Happy Father’s Day to all the dads Caleb Happy Father’s Day your thoughts on the new pitcher Ellis got from Indiana State um they didn’t get a pitcher from Indiana State they got a they got a a a bat from Indiana State hi they got pictures from South Florida Watford and uh Mount St Mary’s Dad this is Dad show you want to come say hi no oh you want to come say come say hi Dad show come say hi Dad show hey it’s Father’s Day you have to come say hi it’s a rule hey it’s a rule he’s watching videos of of Gordy Rush on YouTube Gordy he loves watching Gordy on YouTube now I have no idea why cille finally downtime uh the family has been some Road Warriors my oldest son taken to football camps from LSU to Tech Plus starting his high school training wow well Kyle glad you’re getting some downtime Happy Father’s Day hope it’s a great one man hey buddy timkin good morning thank you sir Happy Father’s Day to you and all the dads blown coverage new tight end has our udfa not been impressive seems we have four in the room well remember with with Jawan Johnson’s injury you’re down a body as well so like he Jaan Johnson foot surgery he’s out probably going to miss all the camp they hope he’s ready for the start of the season but you need a body so regardless of whether or not D Hulker has been impressive you still need to replace that body while Jawan Johnson’s out let’s see UNCC can’t score over four runs Tennessee wins 12-2 okay uh no that’s how to spell it kgis got it kgis that’s F ftic got it got it kgis okay so it’s one it’s two syllables kgis K instead of keg kares kis got it got it got it got it interesting name I don’t think I’ve ever seen kgis before Gordy’s last name is Rush Gordy lynon Rush II Brett what’s going on uh love the meeting you had with Drew in your office yesterday so if you go follow my Instagram well I guess would also be on my Facebook story as well but um whenever Drew goes and rods the elevator I’ll usually fire up an Instagram story and uh Drew Drew explores darer every inch of of the building at guarantee and he does find his way into my office and uh sits in my chair and then I’ll sit out you know in the seat opposite him and pretend like we’re having a meeting so that’s what he’s referring to let’s see cazzy boy we need to see Derek car on this offense so much talent wasted with Derrik not showing up first half of every game I agree and I don’t know that you have so much talent that’s that’s the the other side like like I’m no Derek Carr Defender and everybody knows that I’m not a hater I’m just honest we’ve got a decade sample size to know what Derek Carr is and he’s got a higher floor but a lower ceiling that’s what I’ve said since the day they signed him um but the flip side of it is I don’t know that you have great talent I mean alive is great and I think Shahed has the potential to be a great receiver um Camaro’s pushing 30 years old he’s declined the last three years Jamal Williams had one solid year in Detroit on a really good team came here last year and did nothing kendr Miller was injured all last year I guess could be good um you certainly have not fixed your tight end position after your first two receivers I don’t know who your third guy is going to be um your offensive line isn’t shambled like where’s the great like you’re talking about all this Talent where’s the talent wasted like where’s your talent like I disagree I think you’ve got a terrible offensive line where you only know two who two of your starters are and you’re banking on a rookie and Trevor Penning to do something and then a second-year guy and Nick saler probably to win a job and then one of the two starters you know is Caesar Ruiz again after alive and Shahed who’s next Cedric Wilson I mean you don’t have a 345 in your receiver group and your running backs your best guy was an elite guy who’s 29 and declining so I’m sorry man I don’t see the talent on offense and you’re a I think you’re better on defense but you’re aging there as well so I maybe you and I just see it differently but where’s like give me the positive spin on this the wastage there so much talent on offense where’s the so much talent on offense I don’t see it will Holmes Happy Father’s Day hope everyone has a great day with family Peter 2019 bam I forgot how insane the end of that half went oh it was insane man when Patrick Queen got the turnover and then they uh Clyde scored on the wheel route and spiked the ball like right in front of the ref was insane it was stunning you got to go watch the whiskey and wine halftime show with me and Jordy uh it’s I think it’s on Facebook only but it’s it exists somewhere and it’s Bonkers that’s where Here Comes 60 straight up your donkey came from Josh Noel I’ve been seeing William Schmid drop off first round mock drafts recently this doesn’t mean he can’t be offered first round money in the second correct um you ultimately he’s just going to have to have his number in mind and what it is and if he gets the number he wants then he signs uh make defense great again I was at 2019 bam of the Crimson tearers during that game were glorious J re did I miss a commitment yesterday my apologies y’all I missed this yesterday I don’t know how I missed this yesterday but I I missed it Luke Hayden okay um my sincere apologies I totally missed this yesterday um 91 strikeout 78 Innings 381 ER I guess he was the other pitcher so I told yall there were three pitchers and Gavin Kellan that were on campus this week and I guess I guess Luke Hayden was the other pitcher on campus this weekend um because it was Zach wood the Lefty from East Carolina um Devin Sheeran The righty from Mount St Mary’s and then I guess now I know who the third one is in Luke Hayden forgive me y’all totally missed that yesterday um was mostly relaxing and playing by the pool yesterday totally missed that my apologies so whoever mentioned that earlier thank you for the heads up I looks like I got some calls I need to make on that so I will thank than you for the heads up missed it totally missed it yesterday um Happy Father’s Day thank you man uh let’s see Chuck Brad kruing the Paris Jil we’ll work on it man Dale remember when Colin Colin Hurley was the number one quarterback in the country in his class before we classifying was Bryce Underwood number two which is better um Dale I candidly I don’t remember that colen Hurley was the number one quarterback before reclassifying I’m not saying you’re wrong again I’m just not the guy that’s totally locked in into those rankings and all the sort of stuff um but my feeling on that strongly is from everything that I’ve heard and people that trust Bryce Underwood is like the Bryce young Trevor Lawrence caliber type guy at this point in in his career so I think that’s where all the anticipation and expectation is uh Dalton Barnett good morning David bass what’s up from California with the exception of no LSU the World Series has been awesome it it’s been really entertaining it has been Merrick uh why are you punishing Drew by making him watch Gord I’m not Merck I’m not making him watch Gordy videos um he likes to watch Gordy on the iPad for some reason so he’ll get the iPad hit the little microphone button like in the search bar H the microphone say Gordy Rush LSU Tigers and it’s like all these old videos from CST and Gordy speaking like the New Orleans quarterbacks Club I I don’t know Drew gets into his little Zone where he he gets sort of fixated on different people or things and right now he’s fixated on on that Gordy on Gordy on the iPad no idea why Kyle did the Saints win the South this year no the Saints are going to go seven and 10 and fire Dennis Allen Merrick Mur did Michael Thomas signed with another team not that I’ve seen as of yet but then again I just missed the whole thing about the Indiana State pitch so maybe I miss something with Michael Thomas yesterday as well I’ll tell youall candidly man after we finished yesterday the show I went over to Ruckus I got those uh the denim Jordan 1es uh took Drew to my work um ran a couple other errands with Drew came back to the house um I went and worked out did a coal plunge um I watched a couple of episodes of Lux listing Sydney uh got in the pool with Drew ate some dinner sat on the patio smoked a cigar and watched you know the first three or four Innings or so of that uh Texas A&M game and so I Texas A&M Florida and [Music] um that that so I was not so no Michael Thomas hadn’t sign with anybody Kobe Walker what’s going on uh Hughes bound thoughts on the new portal pitchure from Indiana State yeah Hughes again sorry um I that’s kind of what I was talking about I totally missed that yesterday just very candidly I totally so I haven’t made it I’m not going to tell you I know anything about like I watched a single game of Indiana State this year so I’m not going to tell you I know anything about him so normally whenever they pop a commitment like that I’ll make some calls and talk to some some people who would know um both independently and around LSU so let me do that I’ll try to do I know it’s Father’s day but I’ll try to do that today see if I can get some info on him and uh when we’re here tomorrow I’ll uh I’ll I’ll have a much better sense so my apologies on that I just totally missed it um which by the way is a good opportunity for me I told you yesterday that I was going to share some news and I might as well share it uh today um so this may not be gigantic news but it’s something where I would actually really really really appreciate uh all of your help um so I am not going to do LSU daily anymore I am rejoining uh the locked on podcast network with a and I’ll be hosting locked on LSU again um so if you’re not familiar um locked on is a podcast Network where they have they host daily podcasts for every team every NFL NBA MLB NHL and most college teams right and then they’ve expanded beyond that uh David block who is the play-by-play voice the Jazz who started locked on Jazz and then expanded beyond that he’s the guy who founded the whole network back in 2018 David approached me about doing locked on LSU and and I did I did it from 2018 to 202 2 and we grew it into something from from zero into essentially when I left um LSU Auburn and Tennessee every week we would sort of rotate as in the top spot on the college Channel locked on LSU locked on Auburn locked on Tennessee um long complicated story short I left locked on in 2022 to start LSU daily at the request of guarantee when guarantee was starting its podcast Network essentially it was hey we’re we’re starting a podcast Network would you essentially stop doing that podcast and come do the same concept under our umbrella so I agreed naturally what I mean guarantee is I work for Guarantee and I want to see the company Thrive it was it was disappointing leaving locked on that I built from like zero to something really good um but I handed it off to Caroline Fenton um who I think many of you know Caroline went to LSU and she um for the last several years has done has done a midday radio in Nashville and Caroline just announced she’s leaving her radio station in Asheville for another opportunity which she hasn’t yet announced I’ll let her do that but in so doing she also had to leave locked on LSU and so it came open again and um they offered me the opportunity to return as the host of Lockton LSU and I with the blessing of guarantee um accept it so I will I’m still doing AFR and everything none of that changes but starting um tomorrow will be the first episode of me back on locked on LSU and actually something I’m thinking about doing so I would love your feedback so please let me know um and the big difference now with lock locked on now as opposed to when I left is then it was Audio Only now it’s audio and video so there’s there’s both YouTube and audio for every episode uh so every episode will be new original content before I would take like a lot of interviews and segments and stuff from AFR kind of package it together and you and present it as locked on LSU this will be a completely original content 25 minute show every day um so here but here’s where I kind of need your help I I would like your opinions anyway if if you think that this would be a good idea so um my thought was you Erica goes and bathes Drew every day around 9 9:30 that’s what I’m going to record the episode I have the option if I want to record the episode live on YouTube on the locked on LSU YouTube channel every day so like I could do the episode live on YouTube and then strip the audio and have the audio set to publish the next morning but so like for tonight I was going to record tonight’s episode for to to for tomorrow’s episode tonight but I was going to go live on YouTube on the locked on LSU YouTube channel um I hope this is all making sense I’m I feel like I’m rambling a little bit anyway I was going to go live tonight at like 9 9:30 to do to record the episode so um let me know if you think that would be interesting like would you want me to do to live stream the episode as I record it live every night at 9930 um let me know let me know your thoughts uh because the other option is I could just record it record the video and audio and just set it to publish the next morning so like I’ll record Monday’s episode on Sunday night Tuesday’s episode on Monday night so on and so you get it so um let me know let me know your thoughts um on that but most importantly I would uh really really appreciate um if you [Music] would subscribe um here I will drop the um I’ll drop the here you go I’m going to drop the um the locked on LSU YouTube link in the comments so if you could again and this is one of those things where with locked on you don’t we don’t get no locked on host gets paid a salary it’s all a revenue share um based on your number of audio downloads and YouTube listens and Views and all that sort of stuff so it would be a tremendous help if you could I just posted the link for locked on LSU YouTube If you could subscribe to the locked on LSU YouTube channel set notifications whenever I do post a video you if you could hit the thumbs up whatever all that’s beneficial or and actually not and or and um on your favorite podcast app just subscribe to the to the podcast uh as well that would be super helpful so anyway um so that’s it that’s kind of the the new uh the New Deal all right couple of more here we’ll get back to it Larry Connor Matt think the Saints should have tried pending at left guard instead of right tackle what do you think um I think you try him at right tackle to see if you can salvage him there and then you can always kick him inside to play guard Dalton may have already covered which John emer’s ACL situation got think Z Alexander should be back by Fall as well so um I will D I will get you an answer so just very candidly I I was texting with John after his decision to come back um we are going to get him on the show he’s excited to do it um he just said let me get back and get settled so I’ll Pro not probably I will reach out to John this week and see if we can get him on this week and I’ll ask him how he’s coming along but remember he tore his ACL in November early November against Florida um which which means he should be on track for the start of the season um but I’ll I’ll let him I’ll let him answer that betting the under on the Saints win total Dane morning Matt Happy Father’s Day than same to you Dane hope you read a good checkup he did man thank you so much Gul South Happy Father’s Day wrong for not getting excited over these pitching transfers yet I don’t think a single one is from a power five School we’re supposed to believe they can be dominant versus the SEC um I think it’s fine to have um a healthy uh wait and see attitude um the thing that I so I think I think two things number one I’m looking at projectability and skill set right um Zack Cohen’s a good example here so Zack Cohen from wford you know we saw Zack Cohen pitch in the region a lot against LSU and it’s fair that he didn’t pitch a single game against Power five opponent it would be different if you’re saying hey Zach come in and be LSU’s Friday guy I think what they’re asking of Zack Cohen is to say come in and be an Innings eater really good change up athletic guy throwing a bunch of innings Rubber Arm come in and being be an Innings eater okay if you’re asking him to come in and be a dominant Friday I guy that’s different because like you’re getting Chase Shores back and the expectation is Chase Shores is going to be your Friday night pitcher and You’ got Kate Anderson who I think we’re all hoping look like late in the season he maybe took that step so Shores Anderson I expect to hold two spots in the rotation Griffin Herring could be in the rotation y Devon Sheeran who they got from Mount St Mary’s remember he just finished his freshman season so he’s got two years so he’s 98 from the right side with a really good slider but again you’re not asking him to come in and be your Friday night guy this year he could come in and be middle relief he could be your closer throw in 98 and then you looked midweek guy and you could look to him in 2026 as maybe a weekend guy if that’s how it plays out so it would be different if you were looking at all these guys saying we need you to come in boom and immediately be a weekend rotation guy which I don’t think they need that from any of these guys but what they need is arms because you’re losing a ton of guys both with eligibility and with the portal Kevin what are you willing to do if Kaylin debor wins annati in year One what do you mean what am I willing to do uh chance if there are any free agent names you’d like to see the Saints go after uh the one that I’ve mentioned pretty consistently is David bakari um I’ve been mentioning that on AFR for months now um he was before his injuries in Green Bay one of the best offensive lineman left tackles in football I don’t know if he can stay healthy but you could probably get him on onee Pro it deal cheap and it’s a really good insurance policy at left tackle if T fonga isn’t ready to be left tackle as a rookie Rocky good morning Happy Father’s Day Brett yeah man thank you so much uh mat T-Bob the guest host locked on like one day a week with you maybe I’m not opposed to that um we’ll see Dane uh don’t tort man with TB um if you did live probably get more action Brett C love it thank you all so much man thank you very much all right Kyle appreciate it uh yes to live okay appreciate it Michael says live okay okay so the plan is y’all I’ll fire up the live stream probably about like n but sometime around 9 9:30 probably close to 9:30 essentially whenever Erica gets Drew in the bath is when I’ll fire up the episode so plan to be here tonight not here but on the locked on LSU YouTube channel tonight around 9:30 so won’t fire it up um and after a day by the pool I might have a few cocktails in me so we’ll see how that goes on the first episode B uh let’s see B Lori happy to hear you back with locked on I still subscribe to locked on LSU haven’t listed as much with LSU daily definitely down with the live recording thank you man very very much appreciate it live show cool Adam totally up for that appreciate it there’s the locked on YouTube Dylan Hess a little earlier to have the horsey bottle out oh so no I’m not drinking it um someone earlier had mentioned that for Father’s Day uh his wife had gotten him a couple of bottles of bourbon with their kids birthdays as the dump date and I I mentioned they do so I was just showing people like like on blands they have the dump date right there so 102318 is when this was dump so a lot of people would go try to search look for a bottle with that date is significant a birthday an anniversary something like that not drinking it yet oh it’s Father’s Day I can do whatever I want um at Dan they secretly love each other it’s a weird romance uh me and T-Bob we hate each other hate T-Bob I hate T-Bob a bear with unbridled passion every day that I have to spend with him every minute of my life is a minute wasted and I only do it because they pay us handsomely to sit next to each other I hate tbab a bear Richard Herer what’s up Taylor slay stuck at work outside in a heat listening to you scone who’s the baseball pitcher transfer yeah so um again thanks to our audience here pointed out because I totally missed it yesterday um that the Saints got a a transfer pitcher from Indiana State so um I could uh Luke Hayden is his name and um 61 195 I mean I can run through some of the stats seven and2 with 381 erra 78 Innings pitched 91 strikeouts 47 walks the walk number is a little high um but again what you’re seeing for sure is um the um is is they are reinforcing the uh the staff after you’ve lost so I mean keep in mind not you’re losing hullman uh jump herd to to the draft to your eligibility um aenh house um helmers uoa is going to be drafted as well I would assume lore is going to be gone as well um and then all the guys have gone the portal from cam Johnson and Sam Dutton and uh Aiden Moffett Michael bucknam I mean you’ve lost a lot of arms just a lot of depth so you have to replace those arms and so that’s why I mean again to I think it was Gul South who asked you know should I am I wrong for being you know cautious on the pitch no you’re not wrong but I think you also got to keep in mind they’re not bringing in every one of these guys with the idea saying hey be my Friday night guy you know you’re again I’m I am I will continue operating under the assumption that we forget how dominant Chase Shores is was can be if he comes coming back off a TJ throwing a 100 again like that’s your Friday night guy so if you have Shores Anderson occupying two of your weekend spots then all the other names that we’ve talked about if it’s herring if it’s um um Devin Sheeran if it’s Zack Cohen I mean if it’s uh Luke Hayden from Indiana State again I’m GNA find out more about him like you have all these guys vying for maybe the final weekend spot midweek spot are they mid relievers you do they just give you length on the weekend you you have to add you have to add arms because you lost a bunch and so that’s what they’re certainly replenishing now and so the option is do you replenish with freshman or Jo pitchers are guys that have pitched in major college baseball so that’s that’s what the portal allows you to do you’re going to lose a lot of guys like that but it gives you the opportunity to replace them with experience guys um David uh hey what up David steel congrats on returning back to locked on LSU I say go live too we all want more content appreciate it man thank you Janet just subscrib appreciate that Hunter bam apparently co-worker of mine went on a date with muso um they were trying to tell me the story and asked me have you ever heard of Matt mcone that’s great um I wonder what um well I don’t want to PR ao’s personal life we have a lot of fun on the radio and he was a very good sport with the um the the matchelor stuff I mean we won an award for the matchelor for God’s sakes um and a Louisiana Associated broadcasters award for the best promotion like that was a really cool thing but again it’s also like his personal life and I I as much fun as we have on air I really don’t want to like pry into he can share what he wants to share sort of thing so I try to balance that line as best I can all right thank you kjun country appreciate that man um Ryan Slayton watching in glinton die Montana just subscribed to lockon LSU thank you Ryan I appreciate it so much man Brad David what week are you GNA be off for vacation so we leave on Thursday June 27th and then I’m out Thursday Friday then the entire first week of July but again locked on is every day so I will still be doing locked on even while I’m gone especially since we’re just I don’t want to do like five episodes and then be gone for a week and a half Brad David oh sorry I just read that one uh Tanya already locked on subscriber I’ll definitely be listening thank you full disclosure 9930 is past my bedtime so I catch you in the in the am all good T thank you so much GameCube gamer morning Matt everybody forgets Paul SK was not from the SEC um um well I mean either was Gage jump or thater herd I mean Eric razelan was a South Florida guy or excuse me S USF San Francisco University San Francisco when he came in so now saying Shores is two skes 2.0 I would I’d pump the braks like Chase Shores can throw a 100 but I don’t think he’s gonna sit a 100 for seven Innings like you got to temper your expectations a little bit there but Chase Shores is a dominant 6’7 power right arm pitcher so yes um right-handed pitcher power right arm and you know what I mean anyway Justin Thorne little behind maybe you’ve corrected yourself yes sorry we did get the yes my apologies I did Carl opinions on umpire that got disciplined by MLB for gambling on baseball um candidly Carl I saw the story I glanced over it I don’t know every detail there’re in but my general feeling on stuff like that is going to be um I think overwhelming like can you let One Bad Apple spoil the whole bunch it doesn’t mean everybody is bad cuz one’s bad I mean it’s like anything in life there are outliers they’re bad people doesn’t mean everybody Associated is bad so I don’t know the extent and the details and the depth of which the Umpire was gambling or was he throwing games I don’t again I don’t know but um but you have to discipline that stuff harshly because you can’t allow any inference or Assumption of of proprieties man Kevin it was check your temperature on the ties chances um oh the DOR thing I I don’t know I mean I don’t think it’s going out on a limb saying Alabama’s not going to win a National Championship in year one under kayin deor um I mean their roster got gutted they lost 40 players massive turnover I mean has a I think the only time I can remember a first year head coach winning a national championship was was Larry Coker and in 2001 when he inherited the great team the Miami team from Butch Davis when Butch Davis went to the NFL with the Cleveland Browns and then coker’s job was just to get out of the way and not screw it up other than that like have do we do we have an example of a coach in year one winning a national championship other than Larry Coker um Bob stops did in his second year at Oklahoma back in 2000 um but again a different a different era you weren’t talking about a 12 team playoff a 16 team SEC um I you know anyway you’re like I’d cut my right all on my I mean Kevin in no way am I going to sacrifice a body part on something that I have no control over but I mean I no I I I don’t like if you gave me Alabama or the field I would take the field um if you gave me Alabama Georgia or the field I’d still take the field I just think look I mean Georgia didn’t win it last year and two years ago they were insanely fortunate not to lose the playoff game to Ohio State where probably should have lost that game um margin is small man so no I mean I I mean I think if I’m thinking of okay what and the other thing too is keeping mind the top four teams will get a buy I do not anticipate Alabama even if they get into the 12 that they would be one of the top four so they’d have to play an opening round game as well to get to uh to this to the quarters and then the semis then of course the um the the finals if they were to get there so don’t see it that way um let’s see so does the podcast affect night cap yes Brett that’s gonna affect night cap so night cap in effect would go away in favor of lockt on LSU um Justin all good man Daryl what’s up Merrick uh I can hear my wife now Mt is on again I love it Mary thank you so much man Carl the cat good to have you back on L LSU thanks man uh let’s see got it yep golf South T Bob made a bet with his audience that if Napier wins the title at Florida he’ll cut off his man sack so I think that’s where the previous question came from if War wins title there is just no way that I would make that kind now like look I’ve made a lot of deals and Bets and wagers on the air over the years right um ooo owes me one he’s flaking which really really has me bummed um uh we all know going back to the the loser from Tibido who if I ever see I’ll punch him Square in the face and take the $500 right out of his face if I ever see him um but the other part is like when I lose a bet I’ll pay up I mean ter I Tero shaved my head live on the air lost a bet like if I lose a bet I lose a bet cool I’m good good for it but I would never go I mean my my my manhood no no no no Matt graduated with an friends with Chaz Ramsay’s little brother Chandler do you think chaz’s drop on dorsy was intentional yes of course it was um but they chop blocked him it was a high low I mean of course that was it was it was a dirty play that’s a dirty play um I look I played offensive line granted not in the SEC at clearly a School level but I believe cut blocking is I never cut block I believe cut blocking is dirty you’re going right at at someone’s knees in the trenches and sometimes you can’t tell if they’re engaged high but it was just a general rule man it’s almost like an honor among Thieves thing man you know I just never went at anybody’s knees ever I never ever did I never cut block anybody um like the only thing that would even remotely come close is on like field goal Pat when you cross legs you know behind the the the lineman next to you to interlock to create a smaller Gap like you step down like you step in and down and like that’s the closest thing but mostly but mostly everybody’s just trying to submarine anyway so I mean anyway T-Bob said that about car being a top 12 quarterback as well he needs to protect his manhood man Uh Kevin yeah cooker did and then he almost wanted back to back and then they they lost in overtime in a game where they had it w and then lost yes Sonny Dykes said TCU got to the championship game um yes Dwayne does owe me $500 Kyle DeVille does LSU make the 12 team playoff Kyle I’m gon say no um just judging by LSU’s recent history with quarterbacks I’m GNA guess like 26 if nus Meer returns would be the year I mean just look at mburger from 12 to 13 in progression look at Bur 18 to 19 look at Jaden 22 to 23 the progression so I would think for nus Meer if he stays for a fifth year 25 is solid 26 is the Kaboom that that would be my guess um I certainly think they’re capable but I think you have a team that’s going to play a handful of like coin flip games I think um USC Old Miss uh Bama Florida has the potential to be on the road but they may be done by that point Oklahoma has the potential to be a close kind of coin flip game so I think all those games could be tight and it’s just a matter of like how many of them go your way if you go three and two in those games and you go 10 and two then you’re in the playoff if you go two and three in those games and you’re nine and three you’re not in the playoffs so I really really really think for LSU it comes down to you have to be undefeated going into the game against Old Miss if you’re undefeated going to the game against Old Miss and you beat Old Miss that first week in October in Baton Rouge then I think LSU is a playoff team because Max I think they lose the rest of the way is to and so if if they beat SC sou Southern Cal then went at South Carolina in week three I think they beat UCLA and Baton Rouge but really it’s if you start 4-0 and then you beat Old Miss in Baton Rouge um to go to 5-0 you know I and remember LSU’s coming off a buy at that point as well you start your first four games you get a buy then you play Old Miss you get two buys this year you’re coming off a buy you’re at home if you beat Old Miss that day and start 5-0 I think LSU is a playoff team because I don’t think but they drop one early they lose to SC um you know if they uh if somehow they slip up on the road in 11:00 a.m. game against South Carolina um oh my God it’s raining that’s a bummer um hey by the way it’s raining outside if it’s raining at your house and you find out you have roof damage give us a shout Parish Construction and Roofing go to Parish built.com Parish built.com or give us a call at 36417 36417 Parish Construction and Roofing um and you know what for those of you who haven’t heard

Parish Construction and Roofing uh please smash the like button if you would YouTube subscribe to the channel Facebook like the uh Matt mcone or follow the profile again we’re streaming out on the profile instead of my page um long story that I’ve explained uh several times already but if you would on the the profile uh and I’m sharing it to the page but go to the profile where it’s origin please follow that profile i’ appreciate it greatly okay um let’s see do you feel the pitching staff is set going going into next year um a Xander if they can get uh Zack root from East Carolina then I think they would be set make defense great again they said that both Right Guard right tackle are supposed to cut at the right tackle missed the assignment went High okay um I that’s fine that’s dirty gol South T Bob made a bet this season saying LSU baseball wouldn’t finish last in the SEC he won that well that’s if LSU ever finishes dead last in the SEC baseball o i mean that’s grounds for immediate dismissal Carl the cat I think we should go to Bros on Dwayne someone can find him Kyle dille do Z should be bam this year in Death Valley um you know Kyle I I want to it’s so hard to make that prediction right now um but you should like I I am not a I am not a believer in Jaylen milro and I know I’m seeing all the things with milro is you know top five quarterback in next year’s draft and all this sort of stuff Jaylen milro is a great athlete and he won the LSU game with his his legs but look at what happened against Michigan when when he had to throw the ball and beat a team with his arm with great bamama receivers last year at times they’d stretch the field and he was good throwing the Deep Ball but everything else was a challenge like Jaden Daniels threw for more than a thousand Yards More Than Jaylen milro in two fewer games like and you lose Isaiah Bond you you lose Amari nlack like I know they got talent but Bama has always when this is the point I made with with Bama over and again and I know I do the Bama’s burning thing and just by the nature of me doing it that way a lot of people are going to discredit my opinion because it’s so over the top but it’s radio it’s supposed to be fun and I’m doing that to entertain my audience and my audience loves it and I like doing it but on a in a very rational way of explaining it Alabama for 15 years had either the number one or two rated recruiting class in the country every year for 15 years years when you go from one or two to six or seven or 10 like you’re still Elite you’re just not where you were and so you go into this year losing 40 players from your roster the great advantage that Nick had forever was that it was just a conveyor belt of five stars and high four stars and so when one guy would leave the next one was there well all of that depth got gutted this year so I’m not saying they’re going to be bad and yeah they added some nice transfer pieces but it’s just not going to be the same and I don’t know what they have at receiver you lost your best guy in Isaiah Bond I don’t believe in jayen milro as a quarterback um it’s a good thing for them getting Kaden Proctor back at left tackle but you lose and B it’s funny how Bama fans laugh about Seth Seth mlin their starting center transfer into Ohio State because he had a few Aon snaps in the in the Rose bow you semi-final game but that was a guy who’s a fifth year player who’ started for you for three years you’re going to tell me you’re better off losing a guy with all that experience get lost it’s just it’s they undeniably took a step back not they didn’t go from like playoff to they’re going to go seven and five but you went from playoff to 9 and three and 9 and3 in Tuscaloosa ain’t acceptable and I think that’s what they’re looking at the other thing that I’ll point out also with kayin dbor who’s a good coach but remember that Washington team last year we can pretend like Washington was a dominant team last year but you know Washington uh I will give dor a ton of credit because they flat out coached Texas in the Sugar Bowl flat out coached him out coached sarkeesian flat out coached him um at a great plan went out there executed they they were really good um but remember they got a miracle in the apple cup to beat a bad Washington State team 24-21 um they the home game against Oregon they were getting skunked and got a plum Miracle to win that one I get my guess my points I’m not trying to discredit them they were great look they won close games but like they were a breath away from being a 10-2 9 and3 team really good team but not a team that’s playing the national championship so anyway um that’s that’s the that’s essentially the point I made all right um Christian pristine I figured it out Christian so there is a there is a function on this streaming software where I can upload audio and instead of playing through my board into the streaming software I’m playing it Direct ly from the stream streaming software so from now on when I play so just for example here’s here’s one that’s a um um this is a default one um so here’s a I’ll just play a song this is a rock [Music] bed y’all should hear that fine so like I can start doing this now on my intro if I want or anything I want to play you know or the acoustic cinematic [Music] anyway so the point is y’all should be able to hear that all fine now I figured out that component of it okay um nobody hates spam as much as that’s true uh playoffs clo uh those close games that he won last year will’ll get him skull drug in the SEC I agree but he’s also going to have a better roster at Bama than he had at Washington but it’s a tougher deal going week in and week out the SEC as opposed to in the Pack 12 Justin subscribed Happy Father’s Day thank you man and all other dads in the chat and thoughts and prayers those who have lost theirs wishing you a day full of happy memories Amen to that Justin great sentiment thank you so much for sharing that man I love bamz buring it’s hilarious it’s why I do it like one of the things y’all and maybe this will be a good way to to um to end the to end the show um golf South I know this is due to contract Brian Kelly won’t be on the hot Sea from Sho Administration for a few more years the hot seat from the fans is different um yeah different conversation but again if if I think I I crunch the numbers and talked about this if LSU were to fire Brian Kelly after this season they’d owe him $68 million there’s no chance like zero chance he gets fired after this year zero like less than zero um and I don’t speak in absolutes but zero I mean unless if they had a way to fire him for cause right like there was some nefarious activ it that went on where they could fire him for cause that would be different but and not have to pay him a buy out but just straight fire him for performance and have to pay a buy out no shot um what was the there was something oh yeah that was it as far as the bam is burning um I I love doing radio y’all um I love the medium I love theater of the mind and I love that that radio can can be in is supposed to be fun and sports are supposed to be fun that’s why I love doing the bam is burning stuff that’s why I love doing bits sometimes uh because and and the thing that bums me out man is so much of radio now talk radio especially the national shows it’s become like these twers shows where a lot of times they’re split you they’re in different locations and it’s Point Counterpoint point counter point point Counterpoint break point counter point point counter like generic um like generic conversations that don’t go into depth and discuss the same thing over and over again when we come back Danny Hurley staying at Yukon instead of going to the Lakers so who’s next for the Lakers was this the right decision that’s next on ESPN Radio come back so Danny Hurley’s going to stay at Yukon was this the right decision well if he were going to go to the Lakers and he have to coach LeBron James and LeBron’s notoriously tough on like no Med it’s just boring it’s just a boring product and I mean I like to have fun I mean I remember one time we did a bit with the y’all remember the the am Barber like we had Chris Nakamoto like who was the awesome investigative reporter at WBZ Chris got involved with us and we we did a a bit where like Chris Nakamoto was going to investigate the Amy bar and so Chris voiced the whole thing like he was voicing a a a TV news package and the interviews that he did we took clips from the barber shop scenes from uh from Coming to America and from barber shop and so we took clips from those movies and we used those as like the answers like the am Barber was giving Chris Nakamoto like that’s fun everybody may not like it but I’ll be damned if you’re telling me you’re going to find that somewhere else like those things are fun Bama is burning is fun that’s why I like doing stuff like that um yes we’re supposed to inform but we’re also supposed to entertain and a part of what we do is entertainment and so I’ll never like apologize for TR for taking risks to do things that could be that could be fun or funny so yeah we make jokes about muso and 420 and we do the little drops before you know each each hour and play the Barbie girl thing and the kids saying uh you’re a loser Matt like I’m go shut up kid like a nothing wrong ever with having fun on radio and the day it stops being fun is is the day I quit the job and never do it again like hey my baby I love you so much are you all done yeah are you all done yeah hey yeah hey do you want to come say hi to Dad show real quick hey you want to come say hi to Dad show hey come sit on my lap and say Hi to Dad show come here get your booty over here and then you watch iPad come here before G gong G anyway okay we’re done uh YouTube please smash a like button subscribe to the channel uh dude that’s a great point no bigger Miracle than Sabin verse Auburn last year yes it hard to believe that happened the way it did um yes so margins are slim and without Nick what is Bama don’t know okay uh it a it ain’t going be the same that much for sure okay y’all let’s get out of here um Again YouTube smash the like button subscribe to the channel Facebook like uh the follow the profile if you would again we’re

Love the Weller collection! I'm from NOLA but living in KY so deep appreciation for good bourbon!🎉
I think locked on LSU would be too much. We have morning scone, then your radio show and often it's the same information. Go spend time with your family use that bath time with drew. Not all $ is good $
We would rather night cap that you have sometimes than another show. We enjoy seeing what whiskey you drinking and discussing different liquors.
