yo yo yo what’s happening baby welcome back Co TB back from a little Fourth of July holiday weekend celebrating independence day hope everybody had a wonderful fourth uh whatever you were doing hope you had all work Friday if you didn’t that sucks uh for those of us who were lucky enough to have work up a Friday it’s it’s it’s a bit interesting feels like returning after very extended absence uh it does mean that we have a lot to talk about today and as Taylor said a lot of it coming through in the recruiting department also uh we have a very masculine show today uh alre has decided to stay in Texas um and so we have replaced her with a former member of OTB now coming back for an old Victory lap it’s like Carmelo stepping on the court and fake shooting the three Matthew moo moose what’s up dog fake shooting the three this morning all right yeah when he’s like then he tosses it back uh one my favorite Clips uh we got Taylor in the house Taylor I hope you had an awful Fourth of July uh it was lowkey wasn’t bad wasn’t good so you said you were going to keep it pretty chill it sounded like it just you you and the wifey mainly with like a little a good little midday movie and then we hit the uh hot dogs after SC them at home hey and that’s American that’s America right there b and then we got Jake back uh back from mobile what’s up man how’s it going uh going well also went and saw a movie on the 4th of July uh Despicable Me for I’m going to see it sometime this week uh we got the cousins and stuff in town and nice I I those those damn minions done grown on me a little bit Yeah and and when I say we went saw it that means uh the kids went and saw it and I walked harlo around Perkins row oh that sucks oh man she was good she was just like getting really excited about the minions and you know at that age like there’s this like Scream Of Joy but it’s still a scream and like clapping like all right we got to did both parents go or just you uh both parents yeah so how’d you get stuck on the baby walking that’s always I’m like look I got it okay I don’t I I don’t really want my wife walking around Perkins Road just by herself the uh I I’ll I I’m how was it how was the movie for for the few minutes that I saw it it it felt great the boys loved it yeah the boys like it did they dress up in suits this time uh Hy did okay he he was committed to the thing I thought it was a minion thing he said I’m committed and he wore a suit okay hell yeah man um uh well it’s great to have everybody back together here uh we can get into our fourth of July weekends and whatnot um we’re going to do weekend winners at 8:15 today a bit earlier normally we’ve been doing at 9: but we got LS coordinator coach Blake Baker coming up at 9:00 am so very excited to talk to coach Baker uh just about you know everything um and I I don’t think we’re allowed to talk about the players that just committed uh even though the rules change so much nowadays that I’ll we’ll double check before but um but he’s he should be in a good mood because really some of the only like uh college football news from over the weekend uh were a flurry of defensive line commitments specifically so if we wanted to back this up a little bit uh at the end of June you got top 100 Edge rusher Jesse Harold um and then on July 4th you got Zion Williams very funny very funny name um I mean it’s just I’ve said the Zan Williamson so many times air that I guarantee we’re going to make that mistake at some point you got Zion Williams we won’t be the first committed on July 4th no nor the last no uh then on July 5th you flip a uh fourstar defensive tackle Brandon Brown from Texas and uh you also have Damen Shanklin commit on the fifth as well it’s another fit tackle so right now excuse me another defensive in Z Williams DT Brandon Brown DT and then um Shanklin and uh Harold both on the edge the point is at a position of Need You stacked a lot of quality bodies and you have now climbed back into fourth in the Onre team rankings now real quick note on the team rankings because you may be saying wait fourth like I thought every time we talked about LSU’s been like one or two right well you were thanks to your early commitments uh from all the number one players in January but Ohio State you know kind of slowly but surely just did what AIO state does and they end up uh taking that number one spot then didn’t really know this until today um Alabama back at number two after receiving 13 commitments uh in the last month uh then of course you had toor and Moore decommit from LSU he commits to Oregon that put Oregon barely above LSU so you were down to four then Georgia came in with a few commits they passed you up they bumped you down to five now thanks to these commits over the fourth to the fifth you are back up to the number four class in the entire nation which again you know me I don’t really care about if you’re two or four if you are in that top five that is dominant that is um a A+ job by the staff as long as it’s positionally done well and um well there’s a lot more to get into in this class but that’s the movement that has happened here recently yeah again top five class and you have the number one quarterback in the country you are going to take that every single day and you continue to get positions of need over the last couple of days as well so yeah I mean you’re and you look at it like you’re a couple of points behind the leader in Ohio State and so you’re right there in that class that you have to be in you have to be in that group of Ohio state Alabama Georgia you’re ahead of Notre Dame and so you’re doing everything that you have to do average nil by the way on on three yeah you’ve got right now higher than anybody else well so the reason why is because uh CL are yours Jake um LSU right now tied with Oregon for the highest Blue Chip ratio in the country if you look at some of uh and all all the average nil is is like okay it’s a projection of what they think this player could make right uh it’s not necessarily say what they are making what they what what they could make on the market but you know obviously better players are going to have higher numbers so if you have high numbers you have very quality players uh yes both Oregon and LSU with only 15 commits like that is the other thing the teams ahead of them have more commit so the chance to climb if they keep the quality up will be there uh but Els Oregon 15 commits 14 for both classes four and five stars so 23 23 commits commits already yeah yeah their classes you know pretty much edging towards full I know you don’t have a cap anymore but you have roster caps so you got 23 commits Alabama’s got 20 that’s what I’m saying the I’m pretty sure I mean everybody maybe Georgia is Georgia also like 15 or 16 18 okay so yeah so Oregon and LSU re Oregon so crazy how quickly Oregon’s done this but um yeah LSU and Oregon though really really quality right now still some quantity to be added but getting all those defensive tackles obviously how about this we talk about uh the geographic advantages of LSU all the time and shout out to Shay Dixon this was in his on three piece a wonderful little nugget here um and then I always tell you about how George is kind of like LSU only more so unfortunately uh LSU and Georgia the only teams in the top 10 industry ranking so all the recruiting Services put togethers the only teams in the top 10 with an average distance of fewer than 300 miles from a commits Hometown to the program’s campus so again uh coach Kelly and the staff doing a very good job of exploiting LSU’s greatest uh inherent Advantage it’s what you have to do it is non-negotiable you have to do it and they certainly doing it at a high level so you you look at around the top five and it is the hu and Oregon’s kind of the new name but we said it when it happened Oregon was just waiting on somebody to want them somebody to desire them and not desire somewhere else Willie tager one year Florida State Mario chrisa fraud couple of years he goes down to Miami okay Dan Lanning said now hell with that I can build something here in Eugene it’s already kind of built I don’t know why people bail on it but he committed to it this offseason Whenever there was a lot of jobs including Alabama which he was tied to open he said no I want to be here in Eugene and when you commit like that well you can build something like that at Oregon I’ve said it you’ve said it we’ve all said it for a couple of years if you just buy into what it is it can be maybe not Ohio State in Georgia but it can be right underneath them and you know what’s crazy um I don’t know I I okay let’s be clear I think the analogy that I’m about to make is fraught with uh logical potholes and holes that you can poke in the argument so just take this more as like just a little I idea that I’m floating out there but uh in the age of nil I mean Phil Knight has always felt like a pseudo owner of Oregon right now again it’s not like the NFL where you make profit off of the team he doesn’t literally own the team so what’s his return is something that we could have a debate about but I’m just thinking like I know that that Phil Knight’s just not the lone person funding nil at Oregon but let’s say he’s doing a lot of heavy lifting there um think about how much cheaper it is still than like an NFL payroll right like we could sit here and talk all the time about how what what this kid’s making like 500k or this kid’s making 4 okay but that’s not 53 people making over a million dollars which some making 30 20 million like like so if Phil Knight really wanted to and I don’t know what exactly is level investment is but if he really wanted to like he could justify in his brain being like okay well you know basically like NL only I’m paying like a tenth of whatever an NFL payroll would actually be and my school has now seen more success than we’ve ever seen previously in that regard so uh yeah Oregon continues again because like Jake said now that they have Landing committed and locked in uh they look like they will be one of the superpowers here going forward and they’re recruiting like it but more importantly for our show so is uh so is LSU yeah and LSU is doing again what they have to do which is you know you dominate your state and and then you go get players go to East Texas you I mean LSU that’s when they you know they’ve been the most successful is when they’ve had players from East Texas on the roster I mean we could go down the list of championship teams and guys from East Texas that were kind of difference makers and so yes you are right and then like hey sometimes you go up to Michigan and you get the number one quarterback in the country because you are LSU and you can do that uh yeah because you know Joe slow it’s crazy again that that’s one of the things that I’m so uh intrigued to see is you have all these great quarterback commits and Prospects number one QB a keep is in town they keep bragging Bragg bragging on Sloan and Ry Underwood talks about his relationship with Sloan all the time and how much that means if Garrett nme balls out this year like really plays well then I mean it’s then then you truly have established a a a Bonafide quarterback pipeline um and and and it could set you up maybe for like a run allaha Oklahoma uh under Lincoln Riley on quarterbacks potentially we’ll see I don’t want to get too ahead of my myself but I I do believe if if nus is able to to beat which I think he should then yeah uh it’s going to be a very attractive landing spot for uh for quarterbacks in the future going forward um so real quick on these players uh Zion Williams is a 64330 defensive tackle 64330 in high school might have to tone some of that up potentially but that’s a big man can’t teach size from Lin Texas uh Brandon Brown 622 290 from Melbourne Florida of course he was committed to Texas top 300 player number 31 D tackle in the entire country Bo Davis flips him that’s a great flip for Coach Bo and then a fourstar defensive end Damen Shanklin is the top player from the state of Indiana he’s ranked as the number TW 10 pass rusher in the 25 class um he chose LSU over Obama and Ohio State so you want to talk about a symbolic Victory going out of state to Indiana taking the best player out of their state but more importantly beating Ohio State and Alabama in the pursuit for that player so a really nice Fourth of July recruiting weekend for the Tigers Dead period if I’m not mistaken going on right now right if those new rules are um that we talked about the other day should be a dead period for all of July now as they get ready for the uh for the season nice little finish to what this current recruiting cycle was and now you can focus on this actual upcoming season and getting ready for that and so nice little finish got to the Finish Line there for LSU still work to be done because well we know what commitment means it means nothing you actually signed but done a nice job of getting those commits uh to commit uh right here before the Dead period yeah I mean you know it’s like yeah nobody’s for sure ever locked in to the to they’re on campus but it’s also like uh you rarely see a class just completely implode yeah uh like probably Florida this last cycle was maybe the closest that I’ve seen to it even they managed to hold on to lagway so uh moose Taylor any thoughts on the uh recruiting front before we move on here I really like Zion Williams uh it’s 64 330 now he’s a run stuffer as you might imagine if You’ seen any CPS I would say the 330 probably speaks to that but no I mean we talk about it all the time right not just the numbers but like outside of Jacobian gillery it’s a little bit of a size thing like geop has size coming in but outside of him I mean you had to move a mod bro who was like 260 in high school he’s supposed to be up to 285 but you know jvr sugs right at 300 but I mean outside of gillery you don’t have that big body in the middle so I mean that’s going to help you not just depthwise but like position-wise as well having that stuffer in the middle he’s in my opinion the biggest player you got literally all weekend uh moose anything yeah no I mean for me it’s just obviously the position of need thing I mean we’ve been talking about LSU’s defensive line and specifically defensive tackles since I what the middle of last year when Makai Wingo went down yeah uh with the injury so I mean whether it was transfer portal or wingo’s injury or you who’s going to come back in the draft to have that run on defensive linemen right there and specifically defensive tackle is uh is huge when you kind of been waiting on it you know you kind of been hoping for it and you’re like there was so much good about the class you’re like man there’s still no dine still no lineman um and so to go into it like Jake said timing wise to launch Into the Dead period that is nice also the time he does kind of make sense when you consider Bo Davis just got here a few months ago right so these are the relationships that he’s been able to carry over maybe the case of brown or or or or you know really microwave in the case some of these other guys also when you look at all the success they’ve had in recruiting Edge rushers I mean we got to give some love to peoples dude right remember when when peoples was hired he’s kind of an afterthought lost in the we’re talking about Kevin peoples uh but but he was kind of lost in the in the Bo Davis Corey Raymond hype um but then I I I like when I was talking to people at uh is it the Senior Bowl maybe last year yeah they were um they were like this is the like watch out like this is one of the fast risers in this industry right now and uh well I think what he’s done here at LSU far recruiting wise would uh would speak to that so really positive cruin fourth for the I uh all right when we get back get to your comments youtube.com 1045 ESPN we got some s sucks we got a we winners coming up keep a lck right here on OTB Off the Bench with Hester

a.m. Monday on 1045 ESPN Baton Rouge [Music] Allstar Toyota presents off the bench with Hester and T-Bob ESPN Baton Rouge New Orleans Alexandria and 11:30 the tiger large C ask you do you play a home playoff game in December uh they might they might right we’ll see uh Eric trust telling congrats T thank you thank you very much uh of course I’m sure that you’ve heard the news um after uh 25 years of of grinding of of close calls of heartbreak of elation at times of um you know thoughts of retirement at others uh finally after 25 years uh my name will be etched onto the Toledo Bend bot ball trophy it’s um it’s it’s it’s it’s an incredible deal again there were I’ve lost a few I probably had two or three finals losses up to this point ear a ton of early exits mixed in um and we went on a bit of an LSU uh 20 LSU baseball last year’s Natty run where we did it the hard way we had to play an extra game over everybody I had to go through the Canon who is uh just a notorious crap talker not good but uh will play to the crowd and try to get in your head uh we had to take it a day break in between games at one point and um nothing could stop me and my cousin Shannon from just uh bowling over the competition um it was it was just an all-time Good Feeling to finally know th that after and we have it full Stanley Cup style we have every years of winners written onto a wooden trophy that continues to grow and there’s so many exboyfriend and girlfriends names on there that are not and will never be in the picture again and yet my name was nowhere to be found no longer no longer um just a beautiful run beautiful run how do we decide teams um you draw out of a hat so we had nine uh we had nine we made nine teams this year we did 2v2 this year normally it’s Fourth but we did 2v2 uh we had nine teams and basically you just draw a number and that’s the team that you’re on so so we both ended up on uh on on team one but we had a really solid day one then day two we had to up uh with the can I knew he was going to be talking that talking that noise so immediately right before the game started took three shots of tequila to just basically give myself a mental Shield against his Insidious crap talking and uh even though they jumped it played a seven in these early rounds they jumped out to a 40 lead but then my sister stepped on a wasp took herself out the game had to do a little substitution next thing you know momentum changes bam 74 we win run all the way to the championship beat Caitlyn my wife in the championship who that morning we weren’t in the championship yet that morning because we had a couple games that we needed to win first she was already in it she woke up that morning and said uh you know feels like a good day to win a championship little little did I know how right she was only uh not for herself not for her who was her partner uh miles Bren they were they were they were they were a strong team as well but they could not handle they could not handle uh handle me she was feeling good about her Championship run I mean she was she’s got the quarterback on her team I mean already in the finals you had work still to be done and they made it they made it a little sketchy so at at at one point uh I had so I had an opportunity we we had a wide open board we had an opportunity to stack points maybe win it right there we put up points but we came up one point short game continues the next round they’re down to their last shot where we’re closest to the ball so we are going to win if Caitlyn doesn’t hit this shot she hits the shot to end up giving them two or three points they win again the next so she kept extending it barely barely but finally in the end 117 winners um I it it was crazy it legitimately felt like I wanted to did she talk to you on the way home uh yes postgame she was interviewed by the media and uh she kind of stole the headlines like remember when um uh you know how like like maybe the only benefit of the Texas A&M Tennessee World Series was the fact that Tennessee’s World Series got cucked by the schl snagle news cycle yeah like instead of talking about Tennessee actually having maybe the greatest team of all time nobody talked about it all anybody talked about was Schlagel and the switch of Texas and all that very funny uh unfortunately she did kind of bury my Championship Glory with the quote uh I let him win because I wanted to get laid which uh the newspapers ran with the uh the next morning um So Gone was my Michael Jordan moment weeping and kissing the trophy and her uh juvenile postgame comments instead taking over the news cycle a huge thank you to everybody believed uh who believed Through The Years again it was it really was an all-time good moment for me a huge thank you to my guy uh Shannon neighbor my cousin his girl uh but huge thank you to Shannon um it was it was great work we never lost our cool we stayed positive got the dub felt amazing dude it really did feel amazing uh and I made a p and it went really well bought myself one of them big uh you know big cast iron pots coming got like a little burner set up and I never made pive before it went excellent it it was just a great weekend like really fantastic weekend for a boy and I watched more Independence Day again decited to show some of these young cats Will Smith seen an alien for the first time and then punching him across the draw and saying welcome to Earth which is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen seen little Sandlot mix just you know just just great great a well Americana huh yeah D trade America dude um it was awesome it was awesome I don’t know if I’ve ever played bot Bach ball y’all know what that is never I only know what it is from watching T’s videos of him playing it all it is is uh you have one little ball I think there’s Italian and French style but they’re both essentially same rules wise we have one little ball I think is called The Pina and somebody throws that out under him but you throw that out and then you have these bigger balls each team does and you try to get closest to the little ball and it works a bit like golf where who’s ever um out like who’s ever farther out will continue to shoot until they’re closer so if you land a great shot off the bat they could waste all eight balls trying to get closer and maybe they don’t and then every ball you get inside their closest is an additional point so if I have like two balls inside your closest it’s two for us or one one it’s it’s very fun very fun we’ve been playing it for like 30 years uh love it love it um anyway I forgot what we were supposed to uh talk about here I mean it didn’t matter no I will give the Shannon the the Shannon I will give the Canon a little bit of a shout out though um although he did fall apart uh and end up blowing it after they jumped out to an early lead he uh he looks great looks great I I hate him for it uh I mean I I kind of you don’t want to ever see your dad get out of shape but he’d been getting fatter and fatter for years and there was some part of me that was uh kind of pleased to see it because I’ve always been the fat guy in the family and now he was getting fat and that was cool cuz I was kind of going the other direction so I was like you know feeling myself thinking I’m like passing him up and I don’t know what happened a couple of months ago he went into his just his psycho locked in mood like he does and now he’s lost like 40 lbs and at 60 plus years old the man has a six-pack again it is it is absurd he and you can’t even tell like you can’t really see and then he took up his shirt he flexed and I was just like oh my God okay whatever dude I hate you I hate you so I beat his ass and b about to say yeah did you plant the WASP for your sister I’m assuming Camy to step on it no no it was Ryan no and I no it was it was it was something in the grass something in the grass got her um I don’t know what it was was be whatever and uh she just hey couldn’t recover dude you know injuries happen though it’s a part of the game that’s how you you know that’s what I’m saying adversity how do you deal with it injuries happen kjun Canon doesn’t sound like he dealt with a great no it fell apart they completely completely uh fell apart he was he was actually ripping on himself repres uh referencing some of his own um playoff struggles uh back in the day as well so uh some some self-awareness there for sure uh but a great time was had uh absolutely God I love the lake uh any exciting fors of live stories anywhere else anybody get into anything fun no we all didn’t have a a bot ball tournament with the whole family I know me I didn’t win a championship over the last four days I’m sorry I’m sorry there’s not it’s gonna be I know I know I know God it felt good did you act like you’ve been there before no I went I went no nor should you though nor should you the video I I went full Jordan I was I was I was crying kneeling on the trophy flipped into the water then we immediately went out to uh live in the dream this little place to gas up that you can go get drinks at and stuff and like on the ride over I I legitimately had that that post Championship glow like like the monkey was off my back finally after all of these years I mean did you have Queen blaring on the speakers uh I think there may have been some queen queen plate on the way over um and I got voted camper the because of it I me you know just uh and Shout out kayin she took home camper the week on the female side of things so it’s really Banner just

OTB uh uh okay sorry I forgot to look at the chat during the break get to your comments uh here in a little bit uh but you know I thought it was inter we’ve done a lot of uh schedule talk here looking at LSU schedule and how like you know it seems okay it seems like it should be really hard because it’s 10 of 12 power five teams um and it is I mean to be clear it’s not easy right but in the realm of the current SEC and like Jake always talks about with like runs of games and homes and ways and kind of the rhythm of the schedule um it’s it’s actually a pretty friendly schedule when you look at it and so we broke it down here recently and we’re like okay you know it kind of feels like there’s a real opportunity to go 10 and two but but I don’t want to go full Sunshine pumping Homer like I have been wanting to do in the past um and so I’m like okay if I think maybe 10 and two then then I should do a natural uh a natural check and balance and take off a game and we’ll just say nine and three I’m not sure where the three is but we’ll just say somewhere along the line there’ll be a game that’s out of pocket and you’ll go nine and three well um some validation from the national uh media as CBS Sports in their game by game predictions actually has LSU going uh 10 and two and it’s not hard and and and again it’s for a lot of these same reasoning and to be fair look you would have g t to the last years had you beaten Florida State and USC even though that’s not like an easy game uh is better or excuse me is worse uh significantly worse than Florida State there is no excuse to lose that game in vacas I I I would argue that the USC game this year is Brian Kelly’s biggest game as LSU uh head football coach if you win that then you are set up for 10 two and even in this CBS prediction Jake to give you an idea of how 10 and two may actually be the um may actually be pretty damn realistic they actually have LSU losing all Miss at home in this 10 and two and I think that’s going to be tough for all Miss I mean last year you had a ball on Chris Hilton’s hands in the endzones now it’s going to be I look I am a believer in this year’s Old Miss but it’s like okay I think El’s a good chance of winning even that one so where do they trip up maybe it’s at Florida Maybe not maybe at A&M would be the one that they get a win TBS game a win on that I think could get very sketchy but either way uh if you’re a 10 and two boy just know it’s not just me or us local Sunshine Pumpers saying it there there’s other people looking at from outside and saying yeah you know what that looks like right to me yeah if we so like take the opener out of it because you have to go prove that you can go win an opener but like if we’re just looking at the conference games I think the four are Old Miss at A&M Alabama Oklahoma like those are the four games that you can kind of call into question and it’s can you split those games right because again like you you like yeah sure you want to be 12-0 but 10- two gets you in the college football playoff in the SEC with a schedule like l has we’ve mentioned it8 SEC two big 10 opponents you go 10 and two you were in now I don’t know where you fall but you you’ll be in the college football playoffs I mean think about it okay where would you fall so you’d probably be the third you well you would you’d be the third or fourth team out of the SEC because the winner would make it and the loser of the championship would make it but I’m wondering if maybe you could seeed high enough to snag yourself uh one of those home playoff games I mean potentially uh potentially the fact that you would have an extra power five win over uh some of your peers could could potentially come into a play there and maybe push you over the top there’s probably a bit too much projection to to engage with that too deeply but just know if you go 10 and two you will make the playoffs so you at least have a chance and maybe get in that home playoff game in in Tiger stadium yeah so those are the four games that I feel like okay two and two you go two and two in those and yeah 10 and two is certainly on the table I know you go to Arkansas and you go to Florida I just don’t think a lot of those teams no and to South Carolina I mean I feel like you go yeah and you go to Arkansas early now it’s no longer late where you got to deal with you know freezing weather for us not most people but here in south Louisiana you go up to fville and we’ve played in those games right and it’s freezing cold and LSU doesn’t show up and they got a win 7 to3 or 10 to S they’ve had a lot of those well it’s no longer at the back end of the schedule I love it dude I know and it’s funny cuz like freezing yeah like you’re saying was like maybe 40 something but everybody’s on the sideline like tee chattering like oh my god um so yeah that’s gone now that’s gone now so that Arkansas should not represent the and also I think Arkansas is gonna be terrible I think they’re in a bad spot yeah I do too I think um think it’s gonna be a real bad feeling to hire the guy who’s going to take over for you like Sam Pitman had to do with Bobby patrino but alas if you want to make that money get that buy out I guess you got to do what you got to do if we’re looking at you you know schedule trends like we always talk about it it is A&M bye Alabama at Florida because even though we don’t think Florida is going to be the Florida that we all know it’s still you got to go there it’s going to be a good environment I mean depending on how their season goes I mean maybe lagway gets some run at the back portion of the Season yeah and I think grey Merz is a good quarterback don’t get me wrong but if you’ve got your future guy in there maybe it’s a Chris League too situation where you know lagway comes in gives you a spark and still grah mer is going to play a little bit he’s the Chris league but it’s going to be you know a little bit of a momentum shift if lague goes in there remember Chris Lee isn’t he like looked it up but like alltime stats wise yes one of the top he’s like top three in yards touchdowns everything for SEC history um but no Graham Merz is a fascinatingly polarizing character yeah like quarterbacks love to tell you that he’s good and other analysts some do fall in that camp but I kind of in the camp of yes he’s not he’s certainly not bad I’m not saying that um and the stats on paper look very good they’re maybe a bit more empty they believe and a bit more conservative mainly that seven and a half yards per attempt has to increase this year if gr Merz and Florida are going to overachieve or do anything even you know somewhat impressive and that’s with losing a first round receiver yeah now Ricky piols true with 49ers uh Trey Wilson good player well to see if he can step up and be that playmaker but you’re right I mean gr Merz was efficient but not gamechanging so LSU though 10 and two uh according to CBS Sports and it kind of makes a lot of sense y’ but you will not achieve that if you lose to USC what do you think get get get in the chat during this uh during this break here before we get into

welcome back in OTB T-Bob still here but uh something came up but he’ll be back in the next segment maybe we can call in and get a live update with T-Bob uh either way uh it’s okay moose you don’t you don’t have to look for it uh we’re going to do some stoppage time here and normally we got the big Sounder and everything but a is not here it’s okay moose um I don’t see that anywhere yeah look it’s fine it’s fine uh it’s probably fitting for stoppage time uh today because I haven’t been here since uh the US lost um on uh what was it was it Tuesday or was it Monday Monday I believe of last week uh one nil to Uruguay but that’s not the story the story is they did not Advance uh past their group in Copa America and when you’re the host country of an event like that like it’s just known that you’re going to play well enough to advance the US Men’s National Team did not and Greg burh halter as of right now still has his job and you know I wish I don’t I guess I don’t wish to be bad but to be so bad at your job but still have a job that must be nice because that’s what Greg burh halter still has and we’ll see if the US ends up making a move he’s um you know got the support of the team but and I can throw this to y’all I know y’all aren’t big soccer heads but for me you’re not supposed to be boys with your coach right you’re not supposed in in fact you’re you’re not supposed to like your coach you’re just supposed to respect your coach and anytime I’ve ever seen a situation where your boys with the coach doesn’t matter like it’s never going to go well and that’s what the US MNT goes through so I don’t know hopefully oh you can welcome back tbop you can go get another coach because we were told this was the golden generation and I’m not you know the players sure they deserve some blame but when you look up and you’ve got players playing for AC Milan and you got players playing for Juventus and you’ve got players playing for Fulham in the Premier League multiple players everybody on that team is playing in a top five European league and you can’t get out of a group and Panama gets out of the group it’s a bad look it’s a bad look um I don’t know I’m fighting uh let’s see how the rest of show goes um you could just hit on Greg berhalter to get your frustrations out I don’t look you know I don’t have a lot of animous I haven’t followed the usmnt quite as close from afar it’s felt like at times they’re doing really well um against yeah just against Mexico yes it’s that’s the only top 15 team that they they’ve beaten yeah they beat the teams typically they’re supposed to they lose to all the good teams and if this is truly going to be your golden generation you have to go start winning games like that you can’t you can’t host Copa America and not get out of a group in which Panama does no no no that’s that that’s it’s probably going to be the final straw uh we’re gonna do classic little uh classic little us move and and bring back Jurgen clintsman maybe uh little Bob Bradley yeah Bob Bradley third times a CH do you have ties to the MLS nope can’t hire you sorry we’re out for real what do you think who do you think who like who’s on the uh who’s on the list I mean every us fan wants Jurgen klopp who was is that Liverpool yeah he was he retired from Liverpool oh he retired yeah very goodlooking guy yeah like his glasses his style for sure um okay maybe the second year against the shundo Steve shundo uh he is a former United States Men’s National Team Member he’s a coach of lafc but he also played in the Bundesliga for a long long time who could if you’ve played in the FIFA you’ve probably heard chond Delo uh great last name alltime good last name really good player for the US and so then again I do love Jurgens so I don’t know man I’m probably more with Klo if I had to guess yeah choose as an evertonian I can I can put the fact that he was Liverpool’s manager for so long to decide if it’s best for my nation so you would take klopp that would be your dream higher if you could if you could get one yeah I think so I mean um I mean I saw you move your mic over did you want to add something I was I was just adjusting there okay okay about say I’m surprised uh did we mention the Euros at all that’s what no we got a minute left here in the Euros you had Spain beat Germany 2 to one and then you had France Advanced past Portugal they went into penalty kicks they won five to3 on PKS would you agree with this uh I read an article this morning espn.com saying that Spain vers France is a uh battle for soccer soul but basically just saying that Spain’s playing this very exciting fun attacking style of football where uh France is just you know risk averse grindy scared not really willing to go for it yeah I mean France hasn’t scored a goal from open Play they’ve had only on goals and penalties and they’ve Advanced to this point yeah it’s it’s gross it is it is not great it I mean England’s kind of not been great either even though they have so many options they went on penalty kits Switzerland Netherlands moves on uh as well so Netherlands England and Spain and France Netherlands probably gonna great final from a

show we’ll talk a little New Orleans Saints and we’ll have weekend winners at 8:15 you can follow us on Twitter or Instagram at _ ESPN and watch us on YouTube at the 1045 ESPN channel hour number two of Off the Bench live from the Mercedes-Benz and B rge Studios start now ready we go Allstar Toyota presents off the bench with Jacob Hester and T Bob abar yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Off the Bench with and they said I got to come off the bench Allstar Toyota presents off the bench with Hester and T-Bob yo yo yo yo what’s happening y’all welcome back OTB our number two Craig it up we got weekend winners coming up next uh if you missed hour one we talked a lot of LSU football uh over the July 4th weekend LSU football with a big recruiting win adding uh three players at positions of need if we want to extend it to even at the end of June you’re talking about four defensive linemen two addressers two interior defensive tackles being added to this 2025 class you up to 15 commits 14 of which are for five stars gives you the highest Blue Chip ratio tied with Oregon right now um and uh again maybe most importantly positions of need as college football now enters a dead period for the next month no recruiting can take place and uh what are we 55 days away now from Las Vegas we are getting close boys officially under two months till LSU will square up with USC in sensity to uh kick off the college third year in a row going to be on a Sunday on the lone stage the largest stage one that has well not been good for Brian Kelly the last couple of years uh we didn’t get into it last week do you all agree or disagree if I tell you that the USC game is the biggest game in uh in in Brian Kelly’s time at LSU thus far 100% I’ll play Devil’s Advocate and say no just because it’s not a conference game solely that reason you can lose that game and if you I mean we saw LSU lose an opener against Florida State and still make the Championship like you you can still do it so I I will say no do you want to use me do you want to win your opener of course cuz you’ve lost four in a row and you haven’t looked good in any of them by the way no you’ve looked awful um and and so okay I’m glad somebody did play Devil’s Advocate because I I absolutely understand uh the point that it’s not a conference game but even in a playoff even if you had a 12 team playoff you would not have made it that year that you played in the SEC champ ship because you lost the SEC and it gave you four losses four losses um maybe you could make it at 9 and three maybe if you played an sc Championship you can make it a 9 and3 so even then like I think this game takes on almost conference level uh importance because you are now in a time where 10 wins 10 regular season wins will get you into the playoff as you can say oh well tbab what about the SC Championship like that was an actual championship game and I would just say that at that point though you were playing with house money and nobody everybody knew you weren’t going to beat that Georgia team that Georgia team was Unstoppable you were you were overachieving at that point in the season I guess I just look at it and I say you could lose that USC game and still get to 10 wins though I mean we were just talking in the other segment about oh miss that’s going to be a tough game for the rebels to come into Baton rou probably going to be a night game potentially uh there so I mean you steal one of those you split Bama and uh miss you 31 you’d have to 31 the games that Jake was was talking about that that’s my thing like you have so much more margin for error if you win this game cuz like what did we see they’ve been behind the eightball three years four years in a row you win this game you can drop two SEC games no problem because I think everybody’s pretty much in agreeance that 10 wins regular season should get you into that college football playoffs so I mean you you like you said you can go 3-1 you can go 22 which I mean seems you know that that seems more than doable if you win that UFC game Jake where do you rank this on importance in the Brian Kelly era I mean I think it’s up there towards the top if not the top just because of the way that the season openers have gone for you and I agree with Taylor like you win this one then it allows you to maybe drop two SEC games and still have a chance at the college football playoff and I would say there’s a couple of programs I would say the Florida and Miami matchup like the coach in that game has maybe the most pressure whoever loses that game’s in a heap of trouble yeah so I would say that one maybe dboa and Clemson even though no one expects him to beat Georgia like they’ve got to go out there and at least put up a fight or the Clemson conversation kind of changes even with dabo’s like most loyal fans but I would say like BK and linkoln Riley right there with them because for Lincoln Riley I mean you’re going to a new conference and you want to show that you can play with the big boys and there was a report that you tried to get out of this game and so there’s a lot you changed your defensive staff just like LSU did so there’s a lot surrounding that game for them but also like for Brian Kelly yeah like you have not come out of Camp ready to go and that is something that I’m sure they talk about often over there and they make all these changes to bring in all these different coaches so that doesn’t happen again it’s uh it is fascinating The Narrative parallels between LSU and UFC that you’re touching on there Jake uh I mean certainly in terms of on the field right both losing Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks um both teams having to overcome really putrid defenses uh last season and in fact never forget UFC was actually a better defense statistically that’s how bad you were at lcu both teams I think with good hires in terms of trying to fix it I love Danon Lynn from coming over from UCLA UCLA made a lot of their hay last year on the defensive side of the ball and and so I think I think it should be able to pay dividence there it’s kind of funny right both teams going for a uh for an in-conference Rivals defensive coordinator to come fix their problem s and uh like Jake said both teams needed year three of Lincoln Riley and Brian Kelly at their respective positions and remember these two were kind of um through no fault of their own theyve kind of been linked since the beginning of this thing yeah I mean the Lincoln Riley LSU rumors were uh out of control and it ended up being one of the most wellplayed smoke screens misdirects that we’ve ever quite seen and it worked out for both parties both used each other right remember link used LSU to be like I am not going to be the next head coach at LSU he didn’t say he wasn’t going to be the next head coach somewhere else and LSU used Lincoln Riley to B basically off uscate the entire pursuit of Brian Kelly and snagging him away from Notre Dame and so now here we sit three years later and it’s okay who has done the better job who’s the better who are because and at first uh maybe You’ have given a slight Edge to USC though that feels like they both had very good year ones uh but to be clear Brian Kelly even with the Florida state foibles Brian Kelly an objectively better year two uh not even close to what Lincoln Riley in and so for Riley uh even though I think they’re kind of the samees on the on the line for both of them in terms of their reputation and how we think about them but for Riley especially this feels like a bit of a Breaking Point this entire year where he has to prove that last year was the exception not the rule and that everything that all these Oklahoma fans talk about him with like you know the culture was falling apart and he’s he’s not actually a good coach just that and the other like he has to prove that that is uh that that is not true and much of that is going to be on the line week one in Las Vegas so an incredibly important matchup for two $10 million a year coaches trying to justify those salaries and USC pushed all their chips to the middle of the table to go get him yeah I mean think about what they pay him I mean they they they bought his house in Norman they bought him another house in LA I mean there there was a lot there to get him from Norman where they were in the college football playoff every year now they didn’t win anything but they were there they had a seat at the table and they did whatever they could in a move that we didn’t really think USC was capable of at least I didn’t anymore I didn’t think they’d do that I just didn’t think that they would go get a coach care enough have the have not even have the resources but want to use those resources to go do something like that but they did I mean they made they made hire that I didn’t think that they were you know capable of anymore and they did and it was a good year one but you still lost to two lane in a Cotton Bowl and in year two it it fell apart it was great everything has gone wrong since the Pack 12 Championship yeah going into that night against Utah you were 10- one you looked awesome or maybe 11- one right CU it was a pack 12 Champion I only lost to Utah yeah yeah so you looked awesome the world was your oyster and then you lose to Utah you lose to uh tlane and then just nothing’s gone right since it’s crazy and like you said LSU USC they offensively have been really good defensively not as much and for Lincoln Riley to get rid of of his boy alex Grinch like he knows yeah he knows that like man I like my contract I’m probably not you know in real danger getting fir but I better do something here quick or I’m going to lose everybody where did H grench is what the codc see at Wisconsin now bro what this like real life office real life office space does he like I mean just fails upward that doesn’t make any sense dude um I love how nobody talks about Luke fickle at all anymore either as Luke fickle just disappeared completely ironic he finally moved into the power five and uh completely disappeared when he did so so well look he he left and he has disappeared the only reason we know about him is because of the bowl game last year yeah and also you know who else disappeared Cincinnati yeah yeah they needed takes that from he goes from Louisville Cincinnati and they were picked either 14 or 15 in the preseason Big 12 media poll also kind of a uh kind of a bullet Dodge for Louisville because saterfield wasn’t doing very well there no and then they decided to hire way to Cincinnati Louisville’s kind of like oh oh okay we’ll bring Braum back and we get our number one choice of coach like okay great dude awesome uh so wisc now I’m just gonna go random streaming Consciousness uh was Tyler van djk gonna be quarterback I there eighth year of Eligibility what a name God van dy’s been CH he’s been chasing that that that year that he had he was so good it was was it his freshman or soft year his first year God he was so good he might have been I think he was first team all ACC was like 27 like three or four picking one type territory going into that next year has never been able to uh to refind it uh he’s going to have to he he did like he had times at Miami and then it just go completely downhill on him and he couldn’t find his way back up it was it was his first year starting it was it was 2021 he threw for 2900 yards 25 touchdowns six picks there you go 25 to six R you thought you had one of the next like good young greats uh okay speaking of Miami then are you beli that cam Ward will finally get Miami let’s just say to nine and three I’ll give them a low bar the same thing I did with Texas last year I said Steve just win me 10 games and I’ll eat crow and say that I was wrong and cirian in Texas finally did it uh do you think that cam Ward can he overcome Mario Christa Fraud’s uh 12 years of 500 football as a head coach all right so I I do a lot of shows with EJ Manuel and he works for the ACC Network and he covered Miami spring game and all I’ve heard is about cam W in Miami and how they’re going to be but even with EJ co-signing on them still you got to show me like full me one shame on you f me chce shame on me type situation like I am not buying in to Miami until they show me they can be consistent not for one game not for two games but for an entire season and when you look at their schedule they open up with again the most pressure packed game I think in the country at Florida the losing coach of that game good luck because you’re in for a year of Hot Seat talk y so you have that game to open up and then you’ve got two games you’re going to go out there and win Florida A&M Ball State but then you go to um South Florida week number four we saw what I mean what you know you get a coach in there Alabama everything they wanted down there did I mean much improved program I think they went to a ball game so that’s not going to be an easy game and then you come back the next week against Virginia Tech who returns a ton of production from a pretty Virginia VCH Believers so at Cal the next game okay but then you get into the nitty-gritty of your schedule at Louisville Florida State Duke at Georgia Tech and so the schedule’s not brutal like if you’re an LSU fan you see that schedule you’re loving it but for Miami you still have to go show me that you can be consistent you can go beat a Virginia Tech at home you can go on the road and beat Louisville you can come back home against Florida State you can go to Bobby DOD and get a win so yeah the schedule’s not that difficult but it’s Miami and you’ve not been consistent in a long time yeah I mean I think Virginia Tech finished ahead of you yeah last year in the ACC uh with their strong five and three finish so I don’t know I mean if if they are going to get it right it’s going to be because of Cam Ward and he had some really awesome moments at Washington State but can he overcome his head coach I guess is the uh is the question take a knee instead of running the football at the end of a game Mario Mario Mario dum dum dum uh all

uh all right college football fans like we said we uh we are uh 55 days away shout out Ben Wilkerson from LSU USC which means uh because that’s a week one game right so really I mean with week zero we’re sub 50 yeah uh seven this this was seven Saturdays wasn’t it oh was it really so now we’re going up to six Saturdays college football six Saturdays till college football hey you realize that next like this upcoming weekend we’re going to Dallas yeah okay yeah I know I know because it hit me yesterday uh I also realized that I’m actually G to be in tole B on Sunday and like an idiot I’m gonna drive back and then fly to Dallas when I should have just probably driven to Dallas from Dallas from Manning yeah it’s like three hours yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah uh screwed that up screwed that up for sure um maybe you can get a flight credit yeah I don’t know actually we should explore it it’s a good idea um anyway but uh on the way back you’d have to you know that’s a long drive on the way back no I think I’m probably just going back to sleep in oh no I guess I do got to get back to Baton rection whatever we’ll figure it out uh by the way College SP fall 25 fans uh big week as we are about a week and a half from the game being released we’re going to do a gameplay first look today College Ultimate Team reveal to just trigger everyone tomorrow uh a launch rod reveal the day after that and then a Road to Glory reveal for you Taylor coming up this Thursday uh if you want to go deep on all that stuff we’ll talk about it here also Shameless plug uh snaps if you listen to snaps with me and Aaron Murray we’ve been going really hard in the NCAA football paint youtube.com snaps CFB uh let’s do a little weekend winners that’s how wi it is done that’s right we can’t have anyone freak out out there okay hey you got to keep our composure you got too far I’m by winning I win here and I win there now what are you doing what it takes to win a championship wow winning well then I guess there’s only one thing left to do what’s that win the whole thing hey shout out to Angel Reese so we did read this wrong I believe her old thing was rookie record but well she made us right as uh Angel Rees set the WNBA League record or maybe it was most in a single season as I’ll get to in a second but anyway a Reese WNBA League record 13th double double in a row she dropped 17 points 14 boards and a loss uh but she broke Candace Parker’s record which took place through 09 and 2010 so they had a little it was one of those end of the season beginning of the Season deals this is obviously all in a single but regardless of how you split it nobody in WNBA history with more consecutive double doubles than our girl Angel Reese yeah making the Rookie of the Year conversation real interesting yep like it was obviously Caitlin Clark who’s still the leader in the clubhouse but Angel ree has made up a ton of ground over the last couple of days and weeks so yeah shout out Angel Reese I’ll keep it in the LSU family weekend winner for me no surprise Pirates pitcher Paul SK he was named to uh his his first ml be All-Star game because of course it was his first it’s the first year that he’s been up uh he is the first player in fact to be selected number one overall in the MLB draft and then make the MLB allstar game the next season no surprise that he made it he’s been dominant in 10 starts I I think I saw a stat he has not left a game in which he has started where the Pirates have trailed yet correct I mean he is every stat that that comes out of Paulk is incredible the next one’s as impressive as the last one and he’s dominating Major League Baseball he hasn’t been he hasn’t been charged with a loss in his professional career yet at any level rookie a any level what he it’s been a win or a no decision on his record so I’ll let you uh talk more about SK here in a second moose but um the what I love about this though is that this is not just like a popularity pick right it’s not just like oh he was a first overall pick and fans got excited so they made him an All-Star uh no he has legitimately earned it on the field and it’s unbelievable and I’m so thankful we got to watch almost T like they wanted to maybe keep him out of the allstar game like I don’t know if this young Buck’s done enough and they’re like hey guys what are we doing we we like he’s dominating baseball right now like if if someone gets a hit on him it feels like it’s major news yeah he’s going to be in the All-Star Game moose he should start the allstar game too I think I think I think they should give him the start and I think they will I don’t know if I think they will but he is in the mix for uh absolutely being the starter the just the pace that he’s on like that’s what this speaks to so well is the pace that he’s on you can say he’s only got 10 starts but if you look at the pace through his 10 starts from every other pitcher in like the national league that’s been doing great and there have been some awesome ones a couple on the Braves I mean Lopez leads the MLB and er uh Chris saes had a career Resurgence but it’s just like thank you for that yeah the uh the the uh Pace that SK is on he he’s better than any of them right now I mean he’s basically averaging six innings an outing he’s at 59 and a 59 and a third in those 10 starts a 212 ER 78 CES to 12 Walks In The Bigs in your first year in the bigs doesn’t make any sense I don’t know how that’s even possible um shout out Paul sches Legend not at the white party though you let liby go SCH did not go you had a start to prepare for the next day yeah for sure sure if anybody is confident in allowing their significant other to go to a party like that and and not worry about it I’m pretty sure it’s going to be Paul ke yeah Fair yeah but then what happens when Joe Burrow’s in the picture next to her I mean right hey right now say dude right now I know I know baseball’s not as popular as football but Paul schemes is doing things at the professional level that that many have have not like in fact like it’s very very few that have had the success out of the gates that he’s had I’m just saying those are the2 LSU Alphas I know I know but again just like Joe wouldn’t worry I don’t think Paul worries what’s up I don’t think Paul or Joe would worry you know what I’m saying no no for big Alpha personalities for sure and Livy’s an alpha in her own right to be fair I mean 78 K and 59 in only 12 walks not even just wild remember last year when he pitched against Western Michigan how unfair does that seem now yeah like that is the thing that I do keep coming back to is like poor son of a gun just how blessed how blessed we were to get to watch this guy throw what is Rhett louder doing oh man he’s he’s not doing bad though Reds yeah he’s with the Reds organization Trey Morgan if we’re like if we’re talking minor leagues and weekend winners all he’s doing is is hitting like yes he just the other day back to back days where he had four hit games I believe when are they going to when are they going to bum up I cuz he’s in high a like he’ll Futures game he’ll be in the futur game futur game those those poor High pitchers are probably like hey can we get this guy out of here what are we doing get him out of here get him the doublea is Riley Cooper still kicking ass I don’t know he regardless of yeah I I was doing tigers in the pros the other day Blake money had like a 4 inning shutout relief appearance he’s on he’s on Cooper’s team they’re on the same team Blake money back um all right moose we get winner what’ you got uh uh I don’t know I didn’t really have it I was just contributing PA that’s fine Taylor what you got uh my weekend winner is going to be the Sacramento Kings they get so stupid anyway sorry what anyways um they get Demar D rozan they give up a pick swap with the Spurs two second round picks and a little bit of cash with the bulls it was a three- team trade they got to Rosen threeyear $74 million deal which is a steal for a player like him and now they have a really good starting lineup and this was a fringe playoff team a year ago I mean you look right now Pelicans made a move the Kings made a move so those Fringe playoff teams from a year ago are are making moves in the offers made a move too they got bronny they do he uhj look 22 minutes two for nine shooting four points for bronnie see that right there is why I start to become a bit sympathetic towards BR and you can say no you’s got all the money and everything I I I understand that and I won’t fault you that but like I’m just out here in this summer league trying to like I’m trying my best and like we’re going to just crap all over him every time he struggles with him being on and I I feel you T for sure but with him being on all the time on ESPN for a guy who averaged four points last year like he he knew that was coming no he knows he’s fully cognizant of it he said it the other day he’s like I’ve dealt with this my whole life just way more Amplified now the issue I have like all we heard was how bad he looked like yeah first off it’s a summer league game dton Connect finished with like 10 or 11 points but he also shot like three for 11 yeah and like like two for n basically yeah exactly yall see him he sucked he’s bronn’s the tank just tanking all the damage for connect oh and it’s a summer league speaking of basketball weekend winner doop wreath yeah remember doop yeah not uh never mind I was going to do a Hansen Bop joke but yeah uh but du up Bri uh going to be in the Olympics for the Australian team now last year he was the starting center uh for the Australian team at the World Cup two years ago excuse me he’ll have a chance to be the starting center again but again do up wath since he left LSU he played in Serbia he played in China he played in Lebanon he was on the 2020 Australia team that took bronze at the Tokyo Summer Olympics uh he barely played then like I said he’ll probably be a starter or if he’s not he’ll be one of the main back of the and after that World Cup performance this last season he finally made an NBA regular season roster end up starting 20 G games the Blazers playing in 68 average 9 and four per game and got himself a threeyear NBA deal so doop wreath a a a uh Paragon of persistence and consistency and continuing to do it the hard way try to better your crap my man went Serbia China Lebanon now finding his way to the NBA and a chance to get a second Olympic medal coming up here in a little bit shout out to op love to see it uh by the way a little update because you were asking about Riley Cooper’s stats not the Florida Gator receiver we don’t talk about him but the bad body guard of uh LSU baseball Fame three and one on the year 268 er uh has pitched in 15 games started four of those games has a save as well 53 Innings pitched he has 57 K so better than a strikeout per inning holding hitters to 227 batting average I mean look at my guy dude pretty good look at my guy I’m bad I’m saying give him a chance see what he can do the the class up yeah cuz I think he’s in high a they with Del Marva I just I’m not sure uh the classification God so hard to make the big leagues which again is just Mak once you get there though that money is guaranteed yeah you got to get there though it is a hard clim I I mean great college baseball players don’t even get to triaa much less show y’all asked about Rett louder he has an RA over five and 15 starts so far this year like and that that guy’s not bad at all he’s really good just tells you how good PA I mean just remember the SK louder that’s the best pitch up match I’ve ever seen in my life on the cops level if I was the Pirates and they look they had a choice to be made that last year’s draft was I mean you had five guys that you felt like could be generational and they went with skin and you know and like look Dylan Cruz is crushing the baseball right right now as well he’ll be great but you know because Paul SK feels like T like he still has like more to give you yeah like it feels like he is just getting stronger with time and he’s figuring things out and his body looks like it is so ready to take on the brunt of being a starting pitcher in the M you know Major League Baseball ranks and like that would give me so much confidence he’s got that Randy Johnson thing where uh it doesn’t look like he’s laboring at all uh when he throws it that hard like his body may actually be able to take it unlike some you know some recent that we’ve uh we’ve seen anything else I knocked them wood don’t worry I felt like knocking on wood any more weekend winners from anybody here anybody uh I had one more uh herb Jones gave up his number five for what what do you think uh okay who just left uh Murray came in from the Hawks and he wore number five yeah Murray’s wearing five year yeah and so her gave his number five to Murray Herb’s going to wear number two okay um he just gave it he just gave it to him me I’m sure he got have to I mean Murray’s Murray’s very good obviously but like five was not like so like he wore herb wore two in high school 10 in Alabama so maybe five didn’t really mean a whole lot to him Murray coming in new teammate herb just the Ultimate Team guy there team guy man glue guy ultimate glue guy goes back to his high school number number two uh in fact that is one of the defensive parod that I’m most excited to see this upcoming NBA season I mean remember Deonte Murray leading the league in steals in 2122 now joining her no longer Dyson Daniels that makes but still the the the defense of the Pelicans should be uh Elite if everybody’s healthy I was going to say week and winter I thought all the L LSU people at the white party looked pretty cool uh yeah The Branding that that creates for LSU yeah that picture went everywhere uh yeah the burrow Chase Odell Livy that was the picture that I saw that that didn’t even have jets in I mean it could have been even better and Paul SK yeah yeah Angel Reese yeah if if we want to give a quick weekend loser stop wearing cream to the all-white party did you guys see Drake did you see Drake I didn’t think that was coming from look at Drake Look at Drake that’s like khaki that’s like dark that’s not okay I was going to say you can wear cream that’s not cream no that’s a khaki that’s a like khaki so here is with Robert Craft something is something is off look at the look at the look at those pants those are cat pants like this is the one party it literally tells you what to wear that old Greg um is that old Greg you just did no I was doing like a bad Kendrick Lamar like theyy Drake I heard you like oh

Olympics in basketball let’s go he scored 23 points uh I believe Lithuania was who they played against so really good team I mean Lithuania has got some some dudes so bonus is on he’s always got a pretty he’s he’s already got a pretty good green light but you know when he’s playing for Puerto Rico he feels like I can just I can do whatever I want out here like I can just la like I am the man I

Allstar Toyota presents off the bench with Hester and T-Bob ESPN Baton Rouge New Orleans Alexandria and 11:30 the tiger what’s happening y’all welcome back to OTB f f r Chad saying Brian Kelly OB record at Notre name in LSU is 10 and four uh only for big OPP opponents Texas Michigan Florida State he is three and3 in those games now that would actually mean though that he was three and one I guess previous to the Florida State uh debacle so maybe some better history uh from the past from which to pull again though a golden opportunity for Kelly and Company week number one as USC kind of represents still a big brand but not necessarily the best team going into this year like if you’re going to put Miller moss and Garrett nus in front of me I will take Garrett nus 10 times out of 10 over uh over Miller Moss um DJ Drama gaming is very excited in the chat because Moose is doing the music today meaning that we likely will not get copyright stried as this is license-free music uh Jake you missed it I I think I reached New Heights uh as a radio host as on July 3rd uh we played the entire free we played all of Freebird but we stayed silent through the entire free bird solo that’s oh no no on camera I had the one shot on T-Bob playing the air guitar for about eight minutes straight however long the solo yeah it was just let it breath the entire time man I can’t believe I missed that and at one point Alandra uh got scared and tried to turn down the music to force me to say something and I just said don’t don’t get scared now turn that back up and and and we finished it off you’re never going to get a complaint from me I think we should always let music breathe and sometimes you know when bring us back bring us back I’m like well we got to at the end of the hour that’s just bad clock management though if you don’t set up uh successfully look we both play for Coach miles does it matter uh well I mean it it it mattered at points then it mattered sometimes yeah it mattered sometimes playing days uh no I guess you run into uh into too much of it no because bird caught it that’s right in the back of the end zone but if he does it then it would have mattered greatly you would have we would have one less National Championship to the uh to the LSU name I forgot to tell you tbab I had somebody text me after the show on uh July 3rd they were like I got to be honest I kept changing the radio doal cuz I thought I had Eagle instead of 1045 I’m not going to lie I heard that a few times uh over the break cuz especially because aren’t we the HD2 Channel yeah and they’re H for E right which can already get a bit confused and so yeah people thought the uh the streams were crossing uh I forgot one in in weekend I think this is a weekend loser y’all tell me what y’all think can I can I give it to us real quick yeah so yesterday last night we went to dinner me and just my family right so me Katie the boys harlo we all went to dinner and it was you know good dinner whatever and look when we go out to dinner it’s always going to be expensive there’s seven of us I get that but I got the bill I’m like that’s it’s a little bit bigger than than normal like we eat here pretty often and that doesn’t look right now look and we got hit with the large party 20% gratuiti included and it was just me my wife and our children and we got hit with the large party 20% gratuiti the old Catholic tax because a lot of them do a lot of them do five or more right I was like I didn’t even say like I didn’t even like notice it at first and then I was trying to figure out why is this more expensive right now cuz I was about to tip and I’m like oh no it’s already included like I don’t know like if it’s just you and your family do you get hit with a large party gratuiti I mean it’s clear that big harlo is what a year like yes she’s in a high chair that’s what I’m saying that’s that shouldn’t count I don’t know I was like bro what are we what are we doing here who’s already too expensive for this at least at least I know inflation is just really just ridiculous kicking me in the nuts it feels like daily at this point um but uh God forbid you try to eat healthy right now yeah that’s always more expensive anyways uh just don’t eat it’s a little life hack you’ll lose some weight and you’ll save a little money that’s true but do do we like do we agree with that because if if we do if the room agrees okay well okay like I I maybe not put automatically but at least it’s not like you have to tip on top of that a 20% gratuiti is a 20% gratuity so you don’t you don’t have to add if you’re like okay you want to include it that’s fine but I’m just gonna I’m going to count that as my tip yeah but just to assume I’m like wait a minute like now just me and my family well if it’s never if it’s never you said you eat there quite often if it’s never happened before then yeah I’m against that I think that’s messed up that is a little surprising well like what did they consider large party I feel like most places do eight and there was not I feel like you got to be closing in on Double D there there was not eight of you I mean it’s what seven but like does harlo count I mean little baby I mean what are we doing um and we had three kids meal or two two kids meals you know what’s this world coming to uh at least NCAA football’s about to come out

Dive Right In we got LSU defensive coordinator Blake Baker on the phone coach Baker what’s going on man thank you so much for waking up with us this morning I appreciate y’all having me on gentlemen how y’all doing uh doing great man you know got that post Fourth of July glow on it was a good time kind of get back into the workflow um I know you have a job that is uh 247 365 um again coaching is the you know I it’s it’s it’s not for me BEC it’s just insane uh but uh what does this next month look like for y’all is I I believe new NCAA rule p is this now a recruiting Dead period like will you be able to focus on more just football ahead of the upcoming season yeah as far as like in the day-to-day office but you know recruiting never stops even I just got back from a little vacation myself the entire time obviously we had we had a big week on the recruiting Trail y last week so it was uh it was hit or miss a little bit with my service so I’m having to bounce around and try to find good internet service and WiFi and so it never ends but yeah it is more dedicated to the football side of things as far as you you can’t have that in-person uh contact with the recruits in the month of July uh I was wait are we like going on vacation coach where you know the family is all enjoying yourself or you’re trying trying to get service you’re like hey I think we should go on a hike I think we should maybe go on a hike get to the top of this cliff and no reason at all babe I swear I’m not recruiting anymore we just need to go on a hike that’s exactly how it works well she’s caught on after after the last 10 15 years but that’s exactly how it works the kids they’re still young enough they haven’t figured it out yet uh all right coach I I got a bunch of questions I want to ask you but I want to start here so um and I’m well I’m gonna get to Deone Clark specifically because that was one of the most amazing turnarounds I’ve ever seen from one season to the next but you get to LSU um you you join a staff that’s a bit originally right in a bit of a perilous spot be like know I’m going to attack this thing do the best I can uh you end up doing an incredible job in the transition for whatever reason how these things work you are forced to go find your fortune elsewhere uh you go to missou kicking complete ass there obviously missou having more team success they’ve had him forever and so everything’s going really well at this point and then you get the call from LSU to uh maybe come back to Baton Rouge uh what went through your mind what were those days like in which you’re kind of wrestling man I have such a good thing going what do I do what went through your mind of that kind of Crossroads there man I’ll be honest it was it was a tough you know 48 72 hours um and only only because you know coach drinkz in Missouri was was really really good to me like like you talked about the success that we were having how much fun we were having as a staff um you know and and there were a lot of of hard conversations with my wife and and Coach shinkin he was doing a great job recruiting me coming over unannounced multiple times in that 72 hour span uh they didn’t have a uh they didn’t have a no contact period for me so he took advantage of that um but at the end of the day it’s LSU and and this is this is home for us and this is family and and obviously being here and being familiar with some of the um the players that were on roster and and really uh familiar with some of the staff that was already in place uh you know we felt like this was just the best opportunity for us in our family coach I want to ask you about the staff that you brought from missou with you down to Baton Rouge obviously this is you know a group of people you’re very familiar with and you trust being you know to bring them from KO to Baton Rouge but T-Bob and I were talking about earlier like you start talking to people around the business and they can’t stop talking about some of the guys that you brought over why was that important for you and and kind of tell our listeners who you’re bringing to Baton Rouge with you yeah coach Kelly was was awesome uh you know throughout the hiring process uh not only for myself but then when we started talking about staff and and the neat thing about really all all four guys that we were able to bring in I’ve worked with previously so um you know starting up front with Kevin peoples he’s a guy that I tried to hire way back when I was at Louisiana Tech and it didn’t work out for for whatever reason uh so then when I got to Missouri um you you know it it was it was a no-brainer to bring them bring them down here to Baton Rouge and I’ll say this you know the one thing having experience with all four of these guys that I’m about to mention I can say from the bottom of my heart I do believe we have the best defensive staff in in the country yeah and that’s not only just from an X as and O standpoint but the way they’re able to build relationships with the players the way they’re able to get the most out of their players um is second to none so you know Kevin peoples is an experienced guy he he really helps me a lot in in our third down package um I call him a mad scientist man he’s always looking uh him and maruchi have gotten really really close he’s always looking in an advantage you know to to how can we get to the quarterback that much faster um then inside with Bo Davis worked with him at the University of Texas years ago uh so I’ve known about Bo for a long time know know what type of uh developer of talent he is and I was just at a big family reunion where unfortunately there’s a lot of longhorns in my family and they were all they were they were all a little butt hurt about me bringing him able to recruit some of the guys that we we’ve been able to recruit in the past week so um but he’s a master motivator his kids absolutely love him they they’ll jump on a on a sword for him um you know Cory Raymond the architect to DBU obviously worked with him last time I was at LSU uh the one thing I’ll say about Corey is he’s he’s not just a um he’s not just a technique guy he wants to know overall Concepts and I think sometimes gets lost you know especially with quarterback coaches but he wants to know big picture why we’re doing what we’re doing which in turn helps the kids and and then obviously Jake hson Olson been my right-hand man uh here at LSU and and up there at Missouri and can’t credit coach Kelly enough for letting me to bring him on as is one of the five you know assistants on the defensive side of the ball but he’s one of the youngest brightest upand cominging coaches in all of college football he was he was intrical in in the uh game plan last year with Tennessee whenever we were able to hold them to seven points um but he’s he lives breathes and dies football that’s all he thinks about so it’s a great staff excited about him and can’t wait to to to watch us continue to jail here in the fall well and it’s crazy because I mean you talk about being a young upcomer uh like that was you right and now you’re you’re you’re the man you’re you’re you’re the com you’re there uh and one of the you know really so much that work was done at missou but when I was um you know we cover LSU every year and watching what happened to demone Clark from one year to the next is uh frankly I’ve just never seen it before I mean I was sitting here doing my media blo hard thing uh you know just ignorant like oh this guy this might be like the worst inside linebacker I’ve ever seen I mean like LSU’s this is pathetic blah blah blah and you the only one and then the next year he goes for 135 15 Tiff five and a half sex I mean not just like not going from okay to good or bad to good going from bad to Great to Elite uh what what does that process look like when you look at a player and you think okay how can I maximize this guy’s potential what what’s your process the biggest thing I try to do anywhere I take over a new job is and I heard all that before I even met Deone Clark I’m everybody from the head coach to the janitor you know in that building told me the mo Clark cannot play inside backer and and I really try to block out that you know I want every kid to have a fresh uh slate if you will so you know I’ll watch 10 or 15 Clips I’ll have the ga make a point of attack and that’s really just to see athletically you know who they are and when the opportunity comes to make a play are they able to make it and that’s really because I don’t want I don’t know what they’ve been taught I don’t know how they’ve been taught I don’t know what scheme they’re running so I did that kind of with every place I’ve ever been um but really in in every kid’s kind of different but you know going to the moan and and quite frankly with a lot of guys man it starts and this sounds coaching cliche but it starts with with what they’re looking at you know from from a key standpoint and then what that key is telling them you know a lot of the guys especially at a place like LSU they’re they’re built athletically you don’t miss many times on athletic ability it’s usually how can you simplify the game and and the second thing I try to do is is to say the same thing multiple ways you know some kids you know they they just hear things differently so you know whether it be I’m gonna walk the dog down you know down the street uh to today we’re going to take the dog down the street for a walk you know just trying to trying to use different um terminology as well but it comes down to simplifying the game and then once they understand that that’s where their confidence comes from then and that’s to me what happened with the moon um and I and I could see it through perk throughout the spring like that confidence building okay I know what to do I know what look at now my athletic ability kind of takes over well I want to talk about that room because you mentioned perk there and then you’ve got like a Savvy vet like a Greg pen who just continues to make plays and then you’ve got somebody that I put like we put an all Meathead team together over on my serus XM radio show and Whit weeks by the way is in the middle of the all Meathead team it’s a term Enderman as you know like you got a lot of different skill sets in that room like how do you try to make sure that you use those skill sets in the right position in the right time yeah I think our you know I feel extremely uh confident in our inside linebacker and the one guy to me that I think’s you know you’re hearing it first on July 8th but I think he he’s really been slipt on his West weeks I think he had an outstanding spring but when you talk about those four guys I think you hit the nail on the head I think all four of them have different skill sets all four of them are really really good college football players so that’s one of the challenges for me um honestly going into um you know fall camp is you want to get guys really good at a position and then once they do that now it’s okay how can we move these pieces of of the puzzle around how can we get them on the field more uh often together and that’s something that we’re definitely toying with um you know throughout throughout the month of July and going into fall Camp because I think those are four of our best players on defense but again all have different skill sets um and and but all are really really good college football players so I’m excited to work with those four in particular for sure and and Coach I know that um I’ve I’ve heard you talk about this and again uh to coaches listen you might kind of roll your eyes but um when we think about manufacturing matchups it’s something we always apply to the offensive side of the ball but on this side of it we we rarely think about it from like the defensive perspective and I know that’s something that um you’ve talked about in the past in terms of finding ways to put your best players in position to succeed and that linebacker room obviously has a ton of talent uh but to play great linebacker a lot of times you need a great line in front of you and that’s a position group I mean big commits uh here just during this last week right so the future looks very bright but this is a year where you’re going to be uh from a Personnel standpoint you’re GNA have to really try to maximize some guys so what do you how how do you approach a position if it could be anyone but you look at your team and say okay you know what this might be our kind of relative weakness here’s what we’re going to do to try to overcome it yeah I think we’re going to be and and really as a whole but especially you know the at the defensive tackle position I’d say we’re going to be um you know by committee I think there’s a bunch of different uh there’s a bunch of different body types there’s a bunch of different skill sets again it’s it’s going to be a little more difficult on me knowing I got to figure out who’s in the game when they’re in the game and then try to call the game according to those skill sets and matchups like you just talked about um you know but but I look at at what we did at Missouri the last two years and we we really rotated four inside guys um three of them were seniors none of them none of them got drafted all good college football players uh but not the elite of the elite and um we’re going to be creative with them uh again using their skill sets move them around um you know pre-nap and post Snap being able to stun them and use some of their quickness where maybe they don’t lack or maybe where they lack size or a guy like tank who has great size and strength again not moving him as much so it’ll be a little bit more hus on me the play caller and and Coach Bo kind of letting me know who’s in the game when they’re in the game and try to call it accordingly so coach when you’re getting ready for a season opener when you’re going against Lincoln Riley USC what we think is going to be another high-powered offense like do you start that process already sitting here on July the 8th or do you say you know what we’ll do a little bit but we can’t chase ghost if we get too ready for this game in this offense yeah I looked at I looked at USC probably more so than I have in in seasons passes over just because I’ve never gone against Lincoln before um so kind of getting a feel for what he likes to do I know a lot of their personnel is turned over and honestly I had this conversation with another defensive coordinator yesterday I would say like the summer scouting you know five even five to definitely 10 years ago is changed just because of the transfer portal you know the Glimpse you might get on a on a Personnel you might be from a spring game you know aired on on ESPN or sec worker or or what have you so um but but with with USC obviously the um the opponent uh and my first time going against Coach Riley uh definitely studied them more than than probably I have hope uh excuse me openers in the past and and Coach uh last one for me here how do you how do you handle how do you handle pressure and uh you know multiple facets right but obviously um it was a very splashy move getting you back to LSU uh it comes with a big number at attach with springstone kind of pressure with it um last year the struggles for the team were so obviously on that side of the ball now you’re kind of being painted as okay here’s gonna be the Savior and it’s a Sunday night match up against USC and and Las Vegas how do you uh how do you seek to uh to to kind of handle all of that I think the biggest thing is is we continue to to preach our kids is is preparation the more you more prepared you are going into a game you know the less the less quote unquote pressure you’re going to feel um you know and and and honestly kind of you know the biggest difference I would say between here and Missouri is you know I run into fans here and uh you know they think we’re gonna be the 85 Bears so it’s kind of tempering those those expectations a little bit too you know with our own players it’s like we don’t have to be perfect and and really this spring it was all about um you know playing to the LSU standard performance from an effort standpoint you know that was that was something that I noticed barely very early on in Spring that was not up to our standard now I think as the spring went on they’re definitely getting to to what we want from an effort um standpoint so now it’s going to be more about discipline and accountability and execution uh so but it starts with how hard we play you I I truly believe you can uh correct a lot of mistakes just by playing hard and 11 hats getting the uh football and you know again going back to tackling I know that’s a big big point of emphasis is you’re going to miss tackles but if you got 10 other guys playing ball it’s not going to be explosive play so um you know those are probably the two biggest things is is our pressure and or excuse me is our um tempering expectations and and uh you know how hard we play hell yeah man coach Blake Baker LSU defensive coordinator uh couple of months away here from open day coach cannot thank you enough for giving us your time here on this uh Monday morning I know it’s incredibly busy lifestyle so thank you for uh you coming on and uh being so open with everything we asked you you you have a great day coach appreciate it thank you have a good one thanks coach coach Blake Baker there you go um I can’t wait I can’t wait that was a great interview I loved all of uh those answers and it’s not to say that like I don’t know it’s you know here in the summer there’s not necessarily going to be anything you’re be like oh that’s awful but like I think there was a sincerity there and an actual look into his processes that I think give me even uh more confidence going forward uh if you’ve ever had a conversation with Blake like you you kind of know like there’s not a lot that he’s going to try to hide yeah from you he’s going to be pretty open with everything and and we got some of that in that interview and we’ve talked about it right you you don’t have to be like he joke like the 85 Bears you don’t have to be that you don’t have to be that you just have to be a sound defense that doesn’t cost your team games right in this year number one is you’re learning the new uh defenses you’re learning each other right and so like that’s the thing that I think understands like he understands fundamentals of what it has to be people in the right places making the right checks doing their responsibility and if you do that if you’re LSU with what I think is going to be a top 15 offense I think we actually both think they’re going to be a top 15 offense then it’s going to be a completely different conversation than it was a year ago yeah like uh I mean I love it when he talks about simplifying um simplifying Mak making things easier for players to understand and that allowing the the natural athleticism to take over him naturally getting to you know applying that to perk right without us pushing him towards the perk answerer with Deone Clark um yeah a lot of interesting little tidbits in there so worth the relisten as well it’ll be uploaded on the OTB LSU Channel if you’re not subscribed go ahead and sub there one of the things I loved about that also was how we mentioned like Deone Clark and it was a great question by you to kind of bring him back and him talking about people telling him who a player was he said from the head coach to the janitor they told me this guy can’t play which was kind of eye opening and he’s like wait a minute I don’t I don’t know this player yeah like me as their coach in that position room I don’t know this player I don’t care what you have to say like okay I appreciate you give me that but I don’t care because I’m going to go make my own assessment of this player and I think you have a group and we laid it out he actually threw West weeks in there as well four guys unid I mean he made he was like here on July 8th like listen first he he threw out four names and I think they’re players that can all improve by being coached by Blake Baker and I love the fact that he’s like hey we’re going to clean the Slate I don’t care what they did before right I’m going to take a look at what I see them do with my eyes and then Coach them off based off you know our principles and our process which Deone Clark is now starting linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys um shout out Blake baker man that was a lot of fun thank you for coming on and coming up next to do a little spread line to that guy

documentary on Netflix bro about about the dude with the 1,000 kids come coming in I have seen the uh the preview of it right right I’ve seen the preview of it I haven’t Dove fully into it but it’s somebody who donated to a sperm bank if I’m not mistaken right yes he’s a he’s the most notorious sperm donor in the country it’s it’s an incredible story why does everybody want this dude’s sperm so bad you gotta you gotta take a look at him he’s got long you know he like beautiful he’s got like an eight pack or what looks like a Hansen brother dude you know what I’m saying like this is genetics that’s a second Hansen brother’s reference on the has been mentioned twice today shout out theop okay um no it was um it was something else it was one of those things like you heard ala said hey I saw the preview because it was one of those things I was reluctant to watch you know I like dude I don’t know if I want to watch this thing about this dude having a thousand kids boy you put it on man it’s something else and then the best part about it is he’s got an active YouTube channel his name’s Jonathan Jacob Meer he’s got a YouTube channel he’s posting every day and he’s defending it you know what I’m saying like he’s defending having that many kids uh he gives advice on stocks finances how to live for free uh and of course sperm donor Ren yeah sperm donor stuff what do you um if you had to choose one uh athlete New Orleans athlete like or one one Louisiana athlete uh to to to be a sperm donor for your family and then you you get the child uh who would you choose that’s tough dude um then active or retired it doesn’t matter it could be all time well I mean of course the easy answer to that would probably be true you know what I’m saying I know what about Archie Manning dude we’ve talked about studying Archie Manning in the past you could you could probably get a couple Millie for a cup Jesus yeah it just depends on which route you want to go right do you want to go the athletic route um do you wanna do you want your kid to be a rapper you know what I’m saying you get Lil Wayne’s sperm I I don’t know like it just depends what route you want to go um I mean I’m kind of tempted by Zion because I feel like even if like like he’ll be a beast football player he may not be a basketball player like Zion but like the size in athleticism I guarantee you’ll have a very good chance of of a D1 scholarship there football-wise yeah yeah that’s a good one right there Zion if you could get a hold of that that would that would be something else where’s our girl what’s her name Moira was that it something I don’t know I can’t remember whatever he’s he’s an Engaged man now right shout up big Z hope the hand recover looking up the name oh you talking about uh the porn star yeah yeah old girl she might have some on reserve maybe we can get some from her oh man what’s her name um oh yeah I guess that’s he a lot right Mariah Mill yeah there it is that moer and Mariah the O CL God bless her it is moi it’s spelled m you’re right it’s moah I think I mean z might be the answer he kind of probably just he’s he’s the most freak athletically of of anybody in the mix so yeah the gate’s not great but outside of the gate it’s funny because Breeze is great but there’s some genetic red flags you know six foot a big overachiever because he’s a massive overachiever normally people of his physical profile do not dominate in the way that he did right and so you’re taking a risk if you forgo Zion’s nut for for J okay okay okay remember yeah I I uh yeah I I caught a football from one of Breeze’s kids last year at the game yeah I was just waiting on the Saints to start and they were just throwing a fo I caught one I tell you what the kid had an arm hey you spin it okay maybe not then what what if the breezes became like the next Manning family uh only only like his kids went to LSU because they love LSU you know they’re not cowards like pton and Eli my phone got unplugged I I think that’s gonna happen I mean one of those kids is going to go to LSU and yeah I think all that’s gonna happen um devb so okay so so yeah the anything else what what else tickled your fancy over the weekend um um the seed bank stuff you know you know about I thought we just talked about the seed bank oh no this is a different okay okay switch and seeds talk yeah yeah so there’s like this this Global seed vault um in Norway looks like a big old hard drive sticking out the ground yeah it’s called the spou board Global seed Vault um anyway it keeps like all the duplicate seeds like the crops and stuff yeah so this came across I’m reading as sci-fi right now uh or I’m listening to it’s an audible original and uh in this the world has ended and basically like one of the governing powers that do is using that seed bank as Leverage negotiations yeah I mean well you think well I guess my question is do you think that if if the world have ended you think that we’d have access to these seeds or it’s just going to be the dudes who are running the seed bank they probably just gonna take them all you know what I’m say I think I think with anything like that I’m always a believer that uh these are not things to help the common like every person on Earth this is like these are things to try to ensure the survival of humanity so only a few will get to reap the benefits but I think that’s also like I mean maybe you save that for okay it’s it’s post-apocalypse everything’s hit in the fan and people got to go underground okay the Seedbank can be used to preserve these uh these these crops or or maybe you got to go offworld right may may maybe you’re going on some sort of uh space station spaceship or whatever maybe we have a moon base established at that point like that’s where I see the Seedbank coming to play but no to your point Dev I don’t I don’t think for the for the every man it is a little alarming though because they did say one thing they said in this documentary I watch is that for instance dude we used to have 8100 different varieties of apples in the 1800s this is just apples okay we’ve lost 6,800 of those crop seeds since then like bro we we we running out of all our crops yeah but that was probably the sour apples you know I feel like they their place we got the yeah but like so like Johnny Apple SE did you all know this when he’s out they were planting all these apple trees those apples not for consump they’re they’re for they were for apple cider because at the Times apples just didn’t taste good they were really bitter right now we genetically kept breeding the tastiest ones and we’ve created this super tasty fruit but uh I don’t so so you’re saying the documentary LED you to being concerned about us losing access to our crops yeah man like I need to collect seeds you know just in case see but that’s my thing dude if it if it comes down what are you going to do with those seats new kits nuclear fallout ashy Sky gray everybody killing each other over dwindling supplies what are you gonna do with those tomato seeds at the very least I’m gonna I’m gonna trade them and B them you know even if I can’t grow them I’m gonna trade them and leverage them for for better items you know I’m thinking of like a Fallout type situation in my head right now I don’t hate the barter situation uh but me and my sister were talking about this the other day and we’re at odds with our spouses but like you know if an end of the world thing happens just kill me at the beginning I’m not I’m not I’m I’m not trying to find my way not with not supporting three kids with no applicable survival SK what you gonna do you GNA watch your kids you you want to watch your kids slowly starve to death you got to find a way you want to watch your wife be raped by cannibals or something I don’t know dude it’s just not for me dude it’s not for me it’s way too way too scary I’m too much of a competitor to just tap out like that though that’s what my wife says I don’t good you know i’ least try to head the I don’t know an atica I don’t know you know what I’m saying I try to just either go Way North or Way South one and a two I feel like you can get on the water that’s always maybe helpful but I don’t know maybe not in nuclear fallout there’s no good place to be uh here’s hoping that you know we don’t ever have to put this to the test what are you doing Jake are you are you fighting through what do you think yeah I know what you think you’re doing I’m gonna try I’m gonna try I look I’ll I’ll jump in in that lake or river and I’ll find some fish we’ll figure it out y yeah yeah that that is a good idea though like if you just went into the middle of like the ocean you know what I’m saying who’s gonna come mess with you out there you know you to reallyy you got to find a boat you got to find a boat and you know drinking water when it rains you got well if it rains yeah you know you just catch in the bucket got some water there the uh I mean have we still not is there still not a way to mass-produce drinking water from the ocean have we still not figured out like I know there’s like desalinization tubes and things and I about to say you got those yeah and you can do like an evaporation thing where if you put a bunch of salt water with like you know in a bucket and you have like a tarp over it or something with a little separation like it’ll evaporate up and then fresh water will drip out the sides but like I don’t know that’s just crazy to me that we still haven’t discovered a thing that you could just put on a boat and it’s like oh now you have unlimited fresh water forever yes fa Point well I mean just just in general anything with water I mean we we have we don’t know a lot about I mean remember I talked about the pirate ship stuff they can’t find no pirate ships I don’t know why but they can’t you know well isn’t that just because the ocean’s so huge right it’s like it’s like looking for like I mean it goes beyond needle in a Hy stack at that point yeah but you know in like 300 years dude they gonna be pulling ships out like you know like like it’s nothing you know so I don’t know buto we just don’t know a lot about water I feel like space yeah we kind of do um that’s an interesting question which do we know more about I I think space for sure I mean thank D we had a we had a full-blown uh uh Rover that was on Mars for a year dude they named him and everything you know no no it’s tight no no trust me I’m I’m obsessed with curiosity Dev I’ll send you a video about how they landed that thing on Mars and it’s maybe the most mind-blowing scientific achievement I’ve ever heard of but but but I still think our knowledge of the ocean which is a drop in the bucket is still a drop in the bucket of our knowledge of what of what there is to be like we know nothing about space I think we know little about the ocean I think we know nothing about space Mars isn’t even that far yeah I’m just saying just from a ship perspective dude we can’t even find that many I mean we still talk about the Titanic all the time you know what I’m saying that that’s over 100 I mean there had to be more notable ships that have sang you know I don’t know um we’ll see we got to you know hope hope F we don’t nuke each other out and we can figure it out uh de where are we going for rbnr day today oh I’m going to Baton Rouge I’m going to this place called uh what yeah yeah yeah it’s called Uh Tony Seafood and what got me what lured me in was I was pict on Google yeah I was looking at the pictures on Google this lady had a a whole alligator that she bought that was in a bag a bag yeah just an alligator in the bag just walking out with it I was like all right I was like we’re gonna go here for sure and you know any any seafood place that’s got like a fourl common first name you know like Tony Jake Mike bills you know usually usually got good potential it’s true all right so uh catch Mayo Tony’s today go holl at your boy also I wanted I wanted to shout out a couple things uh 28 years ago which is crazy to even say 28 years ago uh WCW bash at the beach the birth of the NWO oh who could forget wait was that was that the tag team of Rodman Hulk vers Malone uh DDP that was a little bit later that was that was later but this was when you know Hulk Hogan for years and years was America’s Golden Child and he turned heel and he joined forces with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash and he dropped that memorable League drop on macho man yeah turned into Hollywood Hogan yep nobody today because I mean Hogan was just like you universally like you know the good guy forever um which leads me to the next thing real quick John Cena is retiring he announced in 2025 he’s doing a retirement tour man I would love for them to turn Cena heel that would be dope oh on the way out Cena goes full heel oh man uh maybe and then he has like a moment of like uh maybe like at the very end he has like a moment where he redeems himself not bad not bad D yeah and he’s one he’s one Championship away from he’s tied with Ric Flair um I think it’s at 16 or 17 uh World titles so proba gonna let yeah they probably gonna let him break that yeah yeah yeah yeah that’s why you let him know ahead of time this is my retirement tour uh R right Dev snow like John on Twitter be on lookout

Desalination exists, but my understanding is that it’s far too expensive to use in any type of real-world application.
