WEBVTT
1
00:00:01.649 --> 00:00:04.610
Off the bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
2
00:00:04.929 --> 00:00:08.400
Hands to Hester, and Hester, yep, got it, five out
3
00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:08.880
of five.
4
00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:12.000
From carrying each other to a natty to carrying each
5
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:14.279
other on the air. Flynn is back to throw for
6
00:00:14.300 --> 00:00:20.050
the end zone ball. Live from the Raising Cane Studio,
7
00:00:20.329 --> 00:00:21.109
it's Off the Bench.
8
00:00:21.129 --> 00:00:23.829
I can't stand it.
9
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:56.119
Welcome back in OTB, hour number three here on this
10
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:00.539
Thursday morning, live from the Raising Cane Studio. Coming up
11
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.090
this weekend for your New Orleans Saints, they are going
12
00:01:04.109 --> 00:01:09.409
to take on the undefeated Minnesota Vikings. Now, this is
13
00:01:09.469 --> 00:01:12.250
a game that's going to be difficult. The Vikings defense,
14
00:01:12.769 --> 00:01:16.379
really good. The Vikings defense throws a lot at you.
15
00:01:16.390 --> 00:01:21.189
And They're finding a way to run the football, and
16
00:01:21.230 --> 00:01:24.370
you can't. So they want to control the clock. They
17
00:01:24.409 --> 00:01:26.969
want to impose their will on you. That's their style.
18
00:01:27.010 --> 00:01:29.650
That's who they are. Kyler Murray is back.
19
00:01:30.230 --> 00:01:32.829
He is healthy. The stats might not show it.
20
00:01:32.870 --> 00:01:34.689
I thought he had some really good moments last week
21
00:01:34.790 --> 00:01:39.359
against a bad Dolphins team, a young Dolphins team. We
22
00:01:39.379 --> 00:01:42.060
gave you the stat earlier. The top six teams in
23
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.680
rushing in the NFL are a combined 19-5. The top
24
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:53.640
six teams in passing are 9-15. The Saints have to
25
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:55.980
run the football this weekend.
26
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:57.640
Yeah, we've said that a lot this week.
27
00:01:57.739 --> 00:01:58.239
I know.
28
00:01:58.260 --> 00:02:00.620
About both of our teams. Literally.
29
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:05.010
Well, the thing for LSU, they do want to run
30
00:02:05.030 --> 00:02:08.210
the football. They've been successful running the football. They've had
31
00:02:08.229 --> 00:02:11.669
some 300-yard games running the football. That's just kind of
32
00:02:11.729 --> 00:02:17.680
our recipe for success for them. The Saints running the football.
33
00:02:17.789 --> 00:02:21.189
Couldn't play dead in a Western. They have to get
34
00:02:21.270 --> 00:02:26.509
better running the football. And, look, nobody cares about your injuries.
35
00:02:27.530 --> 00:02:31.129
The Vikings aren't going to be like, well, A-chan's down.
36
00:02:32.389 --> 00:02:36.349
They don't really have anybody. Kendre Miller, he's struggled. He
37
00:02:36.389 --> 00:02:38.449
let a cornerback rip the football out of his hands.
38
00:02:39.969 --> 00:02:40.909
They wouldn't even try.
39
00:02:41.889 --> 00:02:43.250
Who's going to be able to run the football for them?
40
00:02:43.289 --> 00:02:43.969
They don't care.
41
00:02:44.409 --> 00:02:48.099
They don't care what your situation is. But you have
42
00:02:48.139 --> 00:02:51.740
to try to establish it. You can't come out and
43
00:02:51.819 --> 00:02:55.659
run three plays and them all be pass plays to
44
00:02:55.699 --> 00:02:56.340
start a game.
45
00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:58.979
I understand.
46
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:04.240
I get it. Your best players are your quarterback, your receivers,
47
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:05.219
and your tight ends.
48
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:08.719
It is what it is. Even if fully healthy, that's
49
00:03:08.750 --> 00:03:12.849
probably still the same. So you want to lean on
50
00:03:12.889 --> 00:03:16.129
your strengths. But in the National Football League, if you
51
00:03:16.150 --> 00:03:18.710
do that, You were going to have a lot of
52
00:03:18.750 --> 00:03:21.330
three and outs. You're going to give the ball back
53
00:03:21.370 --> 00:03:23.460
to them, and you're going to take about a minute
54
00:03:23.469 --> 00:03:24.110
and nine.
55
00:03:23.939 --> 00:03:28.620
Seconds off the clock. You have to try to establish it.
56
00:03:28.699 --> 00:03:32.180
Now, how you get to that, we'll have to see.
57
00:03:32.539 --> 00:03:34.539
You've got to be creative. Be creative.
58
00:03:35.020 --> 00:03:37.439
You have to do something because right now it's just
59
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.500
the formula for you, Matt, it's just not working. And
60
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:42.900
we can give you every box score of every loss
61
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.699
and even their wins. You ran the football 19 times
62
00:03:45.740 --> 00:03:50.520
for 50 yards. in this game against Atlanta. Atlanta ran
63
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:52.740
it for 35 times and 205 yards.
64
00:03:52.819 --> 00:03:53.860
Now, you don't have a Bijon.
65
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.099
I know that. Right now, you don't even have a
66
00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:03.120
Brian Robinson. But is it getting Barryon Brown involved in it?
67
00:04:03.189 --> 00:04:05.169
I know he had one carry. It didn't go well
68
00:04:05.189 --> 00:04:06.449
in the game. I'm just trying to think of... It
69
00:04:06.469 --> 00:04:07.770
was an unblocked jet sweep.
70
00:04:07.909 --> 00:04:08.789
I mean, he can't... I'm.
71
00:04:08.729 --> 00:04:10.469
Just trying to think of people to get involved in
72
00:04:10.490 --> 00:04:12.990
the run game. I thought C.J. Donaldson had your best
73
00:04:13.050 --> 00:04:14.969
runs of the game. I don't care when it came
74
00:04:14.990 --> 00:04:16.259
in the game. I thought he saw it.
75
00:04:16.870 --> 00:04:17.189
Kreese.
76
00:04:17.579 --> 00:04:19.500
Foot in the ground, north-south, C.J.
77
00:04:19.540 --> 00:04:20.000
Donaldson.
78
00:04:21.699 --> 00:04:25.500
Undrafted free agent from Ohio State. He's played mostly fullback
79
00:04:25.540 --> 00:04:26.019
for the Saints.
80
00:04:26.810 --> 00:04:27.410
Put him.
81
00:04:28.870 --> 00:04:28.949
In.
82
00:04:29.329 --> 00:04:32.629
So I hear what you're saying, and I agree with
83
00:04:32.670 --> 00:04:35.470
you that you've got to do something to try to
84
00:04:35.529 --> 00:04:39.810
establish a running game. I just don't think you have
85
00:04:39.860 --> 00:04:41.860
the ability to establish a running game.
86
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:45.480
They've run the football 99 times this year.
87
00:04:45.500 --> 00:04:49.759
You know, you know who else also believes that the
88
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:53.360
saints need to try to establish a running game. Kelly Moore,
89
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:59.699
Brian Flores, I hope the defensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings.
90
00:04:59.959 --> 00:05:02.459
I think he probably also knows that the saints have
91
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.199
to try to establish a running game.
92
00:05:04.980 --> 00:05:06.860
He's not dumb. He's pretty good.
93
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:10.459
Uh, So I agree with you that they need to
94
00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:12.639
establish it. I don't know if I agree with you
95
00:05:12.779 --> 00:05:14.939
in the way they should go about that with starting
96
00:05:14.980 --> 00:05:17.100
the game. I think they should start the game in
97
00:05:17.139 --> 00:05:17.519
two minutes.
98
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.050
To start the game was what I said, but I'm
99
00:05:21.089 --> 00:05:24.189
saying in a drive to go three straight passes over
100
00:05:24.230 --> 00:05:24.769
and over again.
101
00:05:24.790 --> 00:05:28.649
I don't think they want to do that again. I mean,
102
00:05:28.670 --> 00:05:32.079
they were behind. They were getting crushed by the. Falcons
103
00:05:32.100 --> 00:05:35.379
who've been bad all year. Okay, not bad, though. They're
104
00:05:35.420 --> 00:05:38.139
not bad anymore. They started out bad. Pennix has kind
105
00:05:38.180 --> 00:05:41.839
of righted that ship a little bit. But they were
106
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:43.959
down bad. I mean, they kind of had to throw
107
00:05:44.019 --> 00:05:47.620
it at some point. I just don't think. I think
108
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.839
they can try to establish a run game. Has Kamara
109
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:55.459
ever in his career been a 20-plus something good when
110
00:05:55.490 --> 00:05:58.120
he's carried the ball a ton of times in the
111
00:05:58.139 --> 00:05:58.689
A and B gap?
112
00:05:59.550 --> 00:06:00.850
That's never been his strength, right?
113
00:06:01.470 --> 00:06:05.250
It's kind of always been a perfect person to have
114
00:06:05.290 --> 00:06:06.610
a two-headed monster back there with.
115
00:06:08.490 --> 00:06:10.040
Can he do it? Yeah, he can do it. I
116
00:06:10.060 --> 00:06:11.740
just don't think he's ever excelled at that.
117
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:13.819
So what do you do?
118
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:16.779
I think you're in a rock and a hard... You
119
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:20.639
got to go find somebody. I think you try to.
120
00:06:20.660 --> 00:06:26.829
I just don't think they can. At least consistently, they can.
121
00:06:26.870 --> 00:06:29.379
They're never going to... This year, they're not... The Saints
122
00:06:29.420 --> 00:06:31.199
are not going to be known as, man, they got
123
00:06:31.220 --> 00:06:34.300
a good running game. They might have a good game,
124
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:40.899
or you get some clutch runs here and there, but
125
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.439
this is not, I mean, they tried in the offseason, right?
126
00:06:43.459 --> 00:06:45.009
They've spent all the money. They did it, and that's
127
00:06:45.050 --> 00:06:47.230
what's frustrating is because I know they knew they needed
128
00:06:47.250 --> 00:06:50.410
to improve in that, and they made attempts, and we
129
00:06:50.470 --> 00:06:53.329
all praised the attempts. We all celebrated the moves that
130
00:06:53.350 --> 00:06:53.689
they made.
131
00:06:53.730 --> 00:06:54.990
It just hasn't panned out.
132
00:06:58.009 --> 00:07:00.709
Well, as you know, You can't wave the white flag.
133
00:07:02.370 --> 00:07:03.160
You've got to find a way.
134
00:07:03.189 --> 00:07:04.560
You've got the sixth-best quarterback in the league.
135
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:08.040
What is that way, though? Is it throwing screen passes
136
00:07:08.060 --> 00:07:10.899
to your running back? Is it throwing swings to your
137
00:07:10.939 --> 00:07:13.899
running back? And it's a long, extended handoff, basically.
138
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:20.000
I think you– we talked about it earlier this week.
139
00:07:20.350 --> 00:07:22.689
The Saints are going to– when they win this year,
140
00:07:22.709 --> 00:07:24.649
it's going to be exciting. They're not going to win
141
00:07:24.670 --> 00:07:28.850
13-10 any week. Their defense isn't good enough. They're going
142
00:07:28.870 --> 00:07:30.990
to have to score in bunches, and they're going to
143
00:07:31.029 --> 00:07:32.550
do that, but they're going to have some games that
144
00:07:32.589 --> 00:07:36.100
it doesn't look great. You try to establish the run.
145
00:07:36.129 --> 00:07:38.680
You do everything you can to do it. How consistent
146
00:07:38.699 --> 00:07:40.600
can you be? It remains to be seen. I don't
147
00:07:40.620 --> 00:07:43.480
think it can be that good unless you start getting
148
00:07:43.500 --> 00:07:49.550
some injured guys back. But let's not just crush the
149
00:07:49.589 --> 00:07:52.550
running game. Let's lay a finger on Bijan.
150
00:07:54.389 --> 00:07:57.189
Yes, for sure. I get that part of it.
151
00:07:58.269 --> 00:08:00.149
But this isn't just for the Falcons game, though.
152
00:08:00.829 --> 00:08:03.209
It's for the entire season.
153
00:08:03.250 --> 00:08:05.610
Yep.
154
00:08:05.970 --> 00:08:10.509
The guy that you signed to be the fix, Travis Achan,
155
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:12.100
it wasn't horrible.
156
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.439
He's 4.3 yards per carry, but he only had 30 carries.
157
00:08:15.740 --> 00:08:20.600
Alvin Kamara right now, 25 carries for 74 yards. Kendra Miller,
158
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.300
19 carries for 53 yards. For those keeping score at
159
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:27.180
home that are good at math, that's 2.8 yards per carry.
160
00:08:27.899 --> 00:08:33.649
I knew it. And look, we kind of broke it
161
00:08:33.690 --> 00:08:34.950
down a lot, too, that.
162
00:08:37.029 --> 00:08:39.289
And Nick Hunter Hill made the same comments as well.
163
00:08:40.570 --> 00:08:44.149
It looks like they're running plays. It doesn't look like
164
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:50.159
they're executing a game plan. So, with that being said, like,
165
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:53.440
you're not... It doesn't seem like there's any flow, any identity.
166
00:08:53.460 --> 00:08:55.740
You're not trying to really set anything up. It's the
167
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.450
lack of identity that's... Like, the identity right now is...
168
00:08:59.309 --> 00:09:02.590
tyler shuck goby clutch chris alave run some awesome routes
169
00:09:03.110 --> 00:09:04.870
john johnson play the best football you've ever played in
170
00:09:04.889 --> 00:09:06.590
your life like you're getting really good play from some
171
00:09:06.610 --> 00:09:11.100
guys but the identity is individuals right now you know.
172
00:09:11.049 --> 00:09:13.000
What it sounds like like you just said and it's
173
00:09:13.100 --> 00:09:16.120
true i'm agreeing with you hey tyler go do that
174
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.320
thing yeah go do that thing it's like when you're
175
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.360
like your parents want you to like kind of show
176
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.220
out for when you have people over at the house
177
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.320
and they're like hey hey hey moose hey do that
178
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.820
thing you do yeah What are you talking about? That
179
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.840
thing you do. That's the game plan right now. Hey, Tyler,
180
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:32.000
go do that thing you do. That thing you do
181
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:32.600
is not working.
182
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:34.620
I think it's probably not the game plan going in,
183
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:37.519
but it turns out to that because they haven't proved
184
00:09:37.539 --> 00:09:40.110
to be very good at drawing up a first 15.
185
00:09:40.110 --> 00:09:42.549
They haven't proved to be very good at their actual
186
00:09:42.629 --> 00:09:45.509
game plan just at working because they stink in the
187
00:09:45.549 --> 00:09:47.870
first half, especially the first quarter.
188
00:09:47.889 --> 00:09:48.409
They stink.
189
00:09:48.929 --> 00:09:52.769
And that's objective. That is not an opinion. They've led
190
00:09:52.909 --> 00:09:54.960
one time after the first quarter in the last two
191
00:09:54.980 --> 00:09:55.659
and a half seasons.
192
00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:57.539
Right?
193
00:09:58.570 --> 00:09:59.850
And that lead was 16.
194
00:10:00.100 --> 00:10:03.240
To three so it's not like they're growing up anything
195
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:05.980
that's good so they just have to rely on okay
196
00:10:06.019 --> 00:10:08.659
well let's scratch the game plan cool and let's.
197
00:10:08.580 --> 00:10:09.440
Just go do that thing.
198
00:10:11.870 --> 00:10:13.570
Doesn't always work it's going to work some that's why
199
00:10:13.590 --> 00:10:14.970
i said the wins you get this.
200
00:10:14.850 --> 00:10:16.549
Year are going to be exciting hey y'all ready for
201
00:10:16.590 --> 00:10:20.460
the uh the run concept breakdown This is going to.
202
00:10:20.899 --> 00:10:23.179
Should I sit down? You should stay seated.
203
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:23.659
Okay.
204
00:10:24.860 --> 00:10:25.259
Outside.
205
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:29.120
All right, 94 runs. 94 runs for the New Orleans Saints.
206
00:10:30.100 --> 00:10:35.759
Outside zone, 32. 34% of the run game. No surprise.
207
00:10:36.460 --> 00:10:39.120
Certainly with Alvin Kamara. He runs that well.
208
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.789
It's his best run. Inside zone, 20 times. 21% of
209
00:10:43.809 --> 00:10:46.830
the time. Some sort of a man.
210
00:10:47.490 --> 00:10:47.730
Usually.
211
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:49.600
playing that as duo.
212
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:54.330
10 times, 11% of the time. They've run four counters,
213
00:10:55.490 --> 00:10:59.289
so four counters, 4% of the time. They've had 11 draws,
214
00:10:59.570 --> 00:11:02.610
which is 12% of their run game. They've had two
215
00:11:02.750 --> 00:11:06.809
pull leads, which is a little less than 2%. They've
216
00:11:06.850 --> 00:11:10.870
had four traps, which is 4% of their run game.
217
00:11:11.730 --> 00:11:14.990
They've had two trick plays, which is a small percentage
218
00:11:15.070 --> 00:11:16.360
with Barry M.
219
00:11:16.379 --> 00:11:16.669
Brown.
220
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:21.049
They've had four quarterback sneaks, Did you notice that something
221
00:11:21.129 --> 00:11:25.370
is missing? There's one run that's missing from what I.
222
00:11:25.330 --> 00:11:31.269
Just broke down. Don't tell me. Don't tell me it's power.
223
00:11:32.690 --> 00:11:35.649
Not a one. Are you serious? What in the Joe
224
00:11:35.669 --> 00:11:36.429
Sloan are we doing?
225
00:11:38.460 --> 00:11:42.600
They have not run a single power. That can't be right.
226
00:11:42.620 --> 00:11:43.259
That can't be right.
227
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.039
Look how much money you gave David Edwards in the offseason.
228
00:11:46.059 --> 00:11:46.799
That can't be right.
229
00:11:47.460 --> 00:11:51.269
I'm hoping that whoever charts the plays just had a
230
00:11:51.350 --> 00:11:54.070
short circuit moment and they missed something.
231
00:11:54.090 --> 00:11:56.230
And they were calling it a counter. It's a lot
232
00:11:56.269 --> 00:11:56.649
of powers.
233
00:11:57.029 --> 00:11:58.029
But even if they did, they only ran four.
234
00:11:58.049 --> 00:12:03.360
What is happening in the state of Louisiana? If this
235
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:08.200
is factual, that's troublesome. It's a basic run.
236
00:12:08.460 --> 00:12:12.559
As Matt always says, the Dunham fifth grade team is
237
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:15.389
going to run at least 10 in their next game.
238
00:12:16.049 --> 00:12:19.840
The U-High 8th grade team, Hudson said he pulled 40
239
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:20.649
times last night.
240
00:12:22.179 --> 00:12:24.960
He plays guard. We call that a power.
241
00:12:27.419 --> 00:12:30.639
This can't be right. Did you just find this information
242
00:12:30.700 --> 00:12:32.039
out during this segment?
243
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:38.740
I did. How did you not fall over? Man, we're being... Look.
244
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:41.879
There's being bad in running the football.
245
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:45.049
There's also egregiously not doing.
246
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:47.679
everything you can to be successful in the run game.
247
00:12:49.970 --> 00:12:53.029
I'm serious. This is dead-ass serious. I need you to
248
00:12:53.070 --> 00:12:55.570
text Scott and say, is this true?
249
00:12:59.330 --> 00:13:04.039
Okay, I will. This is new information for both of us.
250
00:13:04.139 --> 00:13:04.360
It is.
251
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:05.299
Just excuse us.
252
00:13:06.019 --> 00:13:09.080
We're reeling a little bit right now. We're emotional about this.
253
00:13:09.700 --> 00:13:11.659
There are things that are excusable.
254
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:17.149
I get it. It's the NFL. Don't you play this.
255
00:13:18.529 --> 00:13:20.480
LSU excuse from last year and say we didn't have
256
00:13:20.500 --> 00:13:25.740
the personnel to do it. Our guards, these are NFL guards.
257
00:13:30.450 --> 00:13:33.210
And y'all know, when I started doing this show over
258
00:13:33.230 --> 00:13:36.809
a year ago, I admit it, I'm not.
259
00:13:36.129 --> 00:13:36.789
A Saints fan.
260
00:13:37.129 --> 00:13:38.730
Played for the Saints a little bit for a few.
261
00:13:38.789 --> 00:13:41.750
Got a couple cups of coffee there. I'm just not
262
00:13:41.769 --> 00:13:44.200
a Saints fan. I'll cheer for them because we're in Louisiana.
263
00:13:44.750 --> 00:13:48.129
But over the last year of talking about them, covering them,
264
00:13:48.169 --> 00:13:50.590
all that good stuff, like I've been watching these games
265
00:13:50.629 --> 00:13:52.070
and cheering with my heart a little bit. You know
266
00:13:52.090 --> 00:13:57.210
what I mean? So I've been trying. This is about,
267
00:13:57.590 --> 00:14:00.850
you know, to take one step back, two steps forward.
268
00:14:00.889 --> 00:14:03.840
This is about 10 steps backwards for me, if it's true.
269
00:14:04.179 --> 00:14:06.700
Yeah, and when we're kind of talking about this, and
270
00:14:06.940 --> 00:14:09.000
of course, look, we love that play. That play is
271
00:14:09.019 --> 00:14:11.519
like a staple of every offense. It's not even that.
272
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:13.580
It's the fact that if this is true, if this
273
00:14:13.620 --> 00:14:17.600
has not been done, You have not turned over every leaf, okay?
274
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:23.039
If you can't run it through a zone scheme, inside-outside zone,
275
00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:25.250
you go to a gap.
276
00:14:24.970 --> 00:14:26.549
Scheme, counterpower.
277
00:14:27.870 --> 00:14:30.690
Then, if you can't do that, you do something else.
278
00:14:31.070 --> 00:14:33.370
You go to a duo, where that's your lead thing,
279
00:14:33.409 --> 00:14:34.529
where you got two double teams.
280
00:14:35.870 --> 00:14:37.210
You know what?
281
00:14:37.250 --> 00:14:39.129
If you can't do it, you got to make sure
282
00:14:39.149 --> 00:14:40.990
you're trying everything you can to do it.
283
00:14:41.990 --> 00:14:45.039
You know what's crazy, though, Jake? There's a lot of
284
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:47.649
teams out there that just kind of like do all
285
00:14:47.669 --> 00:14:54.389
of it, but not just one thing. What did you say?
286
00:14:54.429 --> 00:14:56.009
Outside zone was 30% of their runs.
287
00:14:57.980 --> 00:14:58.500
Yeah.
288
00:14:58.549 --> 00:15:00.259
I don't think you can be a very good offense
289
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:02.179
in the NFL and have 30% outside zone.
290
00:15:04.059 --> 00:15:06.039
Maybe, maybe that's right. Like right on the edge.
291
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:10.269
That's a little too much. People in NFL are fast.
292
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:13.419
That's a good changeup, and I think some teams do
293
00:15:13.460 --> 00:15:15.360
it better than others. Obviously, the Saints aren't doing it
294
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:15.799
very well.
295
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:16.659
Yeah.
296
00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:19.620
If you don't have a good offensive line, like what
297
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:21.139
you just said, like the gaps game, things like that,
298
00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:23.490
that's probably what you need to lean on. When your
299
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:25.610
offensive line is not as good as the other team,
300
00:15:25.629 --> 00:15:30.409
the zone shouldn't be 50% of your– I.
301
00:15:30.409 --> 00:15:34.250
Also like if you're not very good at that. So Buffalo,
302
00:15:34.330 --> 00:15:36.309
who's– I forget where they were in the top six,
303
00:15:36.330 --> 00:15:39.659
but they were in the top six. They're a team
304
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:43.879
that– they're a duo team. Two double teams right in
305
00:15:43.899 --> 00:15:47.750
front of James Cook. And that's their play. They have
306
00:15:47.809 --> 00:15:50.750
run it 38% of the time. That's who they are.
307
00:15:52.049 --> 00:15:53.149
Go be good at something.
308
00:15:54.169 --> 00:15:54.710
Try everything.
309
00:15:55.029 --> 00:15:56.470
And, look, they've got a little bit of everything in
310
00:15:56.490 --> 00:15:57.230
their run game.
311
00:15:57.610 --> 00:15:58.409
For the Buffalo Bills.
312
00:15:59.070 --> 00:16:01.240
Are we sure Brian Kelly is working television right now
313
00:16:01.250 --> 00:16:03.080
and not a special consultant for the Saints?
314
00:16:05.779 --> 00:16:06.899
I'm not even going to answer that.
315
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:10.399
I'm just going to take– God, you had to say that,
316
00:16:10.419 --> 00:16:10.690
didn't you?
317
00:16:12.590 --> 00:16:13.610
All right, I'm going to reset.
318
00:16:13.629 --> 00:16:14.870
That was a joke. I know he's not.
319
00:16:14.909 --> 00:16:15.990
I know.
320
00:16:16.009 --> 00:16:18.070
We're going to reset. I'm going to tell you about
321
00:16:18.110 --> 00:16:20.360
our friends over at Ochsner. We're going to take a break.
322
00:16:20.379 --> 00:16:22.389
We're going to take a deep breath. We're going to
323
00:16:23.259 --> 00:16:26.779
digest this information. But I do want to remind you, October,
324
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:30.360

327
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.440
factors and when you should begin mammograms and remind doctors
328
00:16:41.700 --> 00:16:44.419

00:17:14.779 --> 00:17:15.680
Raising Cane Studio.
340
00:17:16.380 --> 00:17:22.720
Off the bench. I never knew.
341
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:28.950
I never knew that everything was falling through, that everyone
342
00:17:28.990 --> 00:17:32.950
I knew was waiting on a cue to turn and
343
00:17:33.049 --> 00:17:36.769
run when all I needed was the truth.
344
00:17:37.150 --> 00:17:42.809
That's how it's gotta be. Tigers turn talkers. This is
345
00:17:42.910 --> 00:17:43.490
Off the Bench.
346
00:18:05.529 --> 00:18:08.450
All right, welcome back in OTV.
347
00:18:15.630 --> 00:18:18.740
As soon as we put the burnt CD tour together,
348
00:18:19.779 --> 00:18:20.980
our first call might be the fray.
349
00:18:22.940 --> 00:18:23.740
We'll see if they answer.
350
00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:26.450
Their name is Bigger. On the poster?
351
00:18:26.650 --> 00:18:26.829
Yeah.
352
00:18:26.869 --> 00:18:27.589
Oh, for sure.
353
00:18:27.609 --> 00:18:28.710
They're one of the bigger names.
354
00:18:28.910 --> 00:18:29.829
No doubt. They got the 24-5.
355
00:18:30.509 --> 00:18:32.910
I think we said Goo Goo Dolls was the headliner.
356
00:18:33.130 --> 00:18:33.549
Yeah.
357
00:18:33.769 --> 00:18:35.150
They got the big name, too.
358
00:18:35.230 --> 00:18:37.450
We got to pull in Hunt Palmer some type of way.
359
00:18:37.470 --> 00:18:39.740
I mean, if the Goo Goo Dolls are there, Hunt's
360
00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:40.240
going to be there.
361
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:43.859
You don't really have to pull a man.
362
00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:45.180
I mean, he's just going to be there.
363
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:45.579
Yeah.
364
00:18:46.019 --> 00:18:46.220
Fair.
365
00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:50.059
Let's see.
366
00:18:50.099 --> 00:18:51.509
MrBig553 in the chat.
367
00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:57.140
Richards and Fuaga have been worse than Ruiz this season.
368
00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:02.259
That's actually factual. That's actually factual. In fact, now this
369
00:19:02.339 --> 00:19:04.509
is pro football focus, so take it as you will.
370
00:19:06.509 --> 00:19:09.170
Eric McCoy is your highest rated offensive lineman for the
371
00:19:09.230 --> 00:19:13.029
New Orleans Saints, your center at 74.2. Cesar Ruiz is
372
00:19:13.049 --> 00:19:18.180
your second highest rated offensive lineman with a 64.3.
373
00:19:18.180 --> 00:19:20.000
David Edwards, your big free.
374
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:26.849
Agent signing, 62.7. Quagga is 54.6.
375
00:19:26.849 --> 00:19:35.250
Richards, 46. Your lowest rated player on offense right now?
376
00:19:35.269 --> 00:19:36.690
Anybody want to take a guess?
377
00:19:38.609 --> 00:19:40.210
I don't know about the season. You told us he
378
00:19:40.230 --> 00:19:45.789
was the lowest rated on last week. Is it Oscar Delp?
379
00:19:46.670 --> 00:19:50.079
That's your guess? Okay, Flynn? Yeah, sounds right. Okay, Moose?
380
00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:56.779
We're talking just offense or in general?
381
00:19:56.819 --> 00:19:57.660
Just offense.
382
00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:58.200
Is it Aiton?
383
00:19:58.220 --> 00:19:58.299
No.
384
00:19:58.339 --> 00:19:59.539
Oscar Delp's a 53.
385
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:01.460
So not great, but certainly.
386
00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:11.839
Not the worst. Uh, Kendra Miller's a 29.
387
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:13.039
Oh, well, of course.
388
00:20:13.059 --> 00:20:14.480
Oh, well, yeah.
389
00:20:14.500 --> 00:20:14.660
Okay.
390
00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:15.240
Should have known.
391
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:17.480
Yeah. I should have known that one.
392
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:18.200
29.
393
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:18.559
It's okay.
394
00:20:18.579 --> 00:20:20.579
Maybe it's in a two and then a nine next
395
00:20:20.619 --> 00:20:20.869
to it.
396
00:20:21.900 --> 00:20:22.089
Hmm.
397
00:20:24.849 --> 00:20:26.150
Crystal lobby is your highest rated.
398
00:20:26.170 --> 00:20:29.470
I mean, I am no surprise that Juan Johnson's.
399
00:20:29.089 --> 00:20:31.390
Got to be on Johnson is your third right behind
400
00:20:31.410 --> 00:20:33.990
Tyler shock or naturally Devon Bailey.
401
00:20:34.029 --> 00:20:36.049
He's been, he's been, he's been awesome, man. He's right
402
00:20:36.089 --> 00:20:36.750
up there with a 71.
403
00:20:36.750 --> 00:20:38.309
I like this.
404
00:20:38.349 --> 00:20:39.410
Let's keep talking about good players.
405
00:20:40.339 --> 00:20:42.259
We're just about out of those, Taylor.
406
00:20:42.339 --> 00:20:45.640
There's four. There's multiple defensive players in the red.
407
00:20:45.769 --> 00:20:46.829
There's four really good ones.
408
00:20:47.789 --> 00:20:50.809
Your best defensive player, it's not really close, has been
409
00:20:50.829 --> 00:20:57.269
Chase Young, 82. Now, your edge rushers have actually been
410
00:20:57.329 --> 00:20:58.490
pretty good here.
411
00:20:59.549 --> 00:21:00.210
They've been very good.
412
00:21:01.990 --> 00:21:05.769
Pete Warner's been solid, solid player. K. Nails has been solid.
413
00:21:07.369 --> 00:21:09.779
Your defensive line, I'm not even going to spend time
414
00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:23.059
going through the names. It's a lot of 35, 34, 58, 51, 53.
415
00:21:23.059 --> 00:21:25.329
So we talked about this for the last three weeks
416
00:21:25.380 --> 00:21:27.430
with Nick Underhill. We've brought it up in some way.
417
00:21:28.269 --> 00:21:32.650
This draft class right now, very poor.
418
00:21:34.029 --> 00:21:35.369
Very poor. They're young.
419
00:21:36.529 --> 00:21:40.059
We were all young rookies. Swimming in the deep end.
420
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:41.329
I remember it.
421
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:41.880
You remember.
422
00:21:41.900 --> 00:21:42.440
Yeah.
423
00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:45.759
So it's not their final story. They'll write more chapters
424
00:21:45.859 --> 00:21:49.500
after this. But currently, right now, like Christian Miller, your
425
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:52.779
second round pick was a healthy scratch last week. You
426
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:57.599
couldn't stop a nosebleed in the interior. Jordan Tyson hasn't
427
00:21:57.619 --> 00:22:01.400
been on the field yet. And in a normal situation,
428
00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:04.599
we probably wouldn't highlight that. But when that was the
429
00:22:04.660 --> 00:22:08.269
biggest worry when you drafted him, it's going to get highlighted.
430
00:22:11.529 --> 00:22:15.349
Oscar Delp, your third-round pick, what's he doing for you
431
00:22:15.390 --> 00:22:15.690
right now?
432
00:22:16.569 --> 00:22:17.130
What's he doing?
433
00:22:17.210 --> 00:22:21.559
What's he doing well right now? I mean, Jawan Johnson's
434
00:22:21.579 --> 00:22:23.119
playing really well. Noah Phan's playing well.
435
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:26.019
He's your third tight end as a third-round pick.
436
00:22:26.819 --> 00:22:28.299
Everybody in the past game is playing well.
437
00:22:28.980 --> 00:22:31.480
There's nobody that you can point at that's not playing
438
00:22:31.519 --> 00:22:33.119
well in the past game, I don't think.
439
00:22:34.660 --> 00:22:38.259
So that's your first three picks. Jeremiah Wright, the backup
440
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:38.980
offensive lineman.
441
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:41.700
So he hasn't played. He's your fourth-round pick.
442
00:22:42.819 --> 00:22:47.240
Bryce Lance, Barryon Brown have been out there, still waiting
443
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:53.109
for them to make an explosive play. Barryon Brown's your returner,
444
00:22:54.380 --> 00:22:57.069
so he has opportunities. They tried to get Bryce Lance
445
00:22:57.089 --> 00:22:59.329
to the football in this last game, couldn't find separation.
446
00:23:00.170 --> 00:23:01.289
Lorenzo Stiles Jr.
447
00:23:01.349 --> 00:23:04.529
Is finally practicing again, so that's good to see, but
448
00:23:04.569 --> 00:23:06.329
your fifth-round pick has not been out there.
449
00:23:08.180 --> 00:23:10.119
It's a rough go of this draft class right now.
450
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:18.710
Well, the good part of all this, everybody is down
451
00:23:18.730 --> 00:23:21.390
in the dumps after a performance like Monday night because there.
452
00:23:21.309 --> 00:23:23.970
Was such buildup to it, such an emotional scene.
453
00:23:24.869 --> 00:23:27.829
Everybody was pretty like, just a week ago today, we
454
00:23:27.849 --> 00:23:31.289
were all pretty damn positive about the Saints. They were
455
00:23:31.309 --> 00:23:34.190
1-2 going into this past game. Sure, but it was
456
00:23:34.250 --> 00:23:38.420
a nice-looking 1-2. You had a nice win. You had
457
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:40.440
a really nice one on the road. You should have
458
00:23:40.460 --> 00:23:42.880
beat or could have. You had opportunities to beat Lions
459
00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:43.420
on the road.
460
00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:45.519
Two different ones. You lost two.
461
00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:49.599
The Raiders, who were like, man, okay, that's a pretty
462
00:23:49.619 --> 00:23:51.680
darn good team. We saw the Raiders play the Chiefs.
463
00:23:51.700 --> 00:23:53.920
So we're going into Monday night thinking, this is a
464
00:23:53.980 --> 00:23:57.349
nice one and two we're going into. And then you
465
00:23:57.369 --> 00:24:02.630
throw that performance. So everyone, rightfully so, is upset and
466
00:24:02.670 --> 00:24:06.619
emotional and looking at all the bad now. positive thing
467
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:08.829
is they're like, and I know we say this jokingly
468
00:24:08.849 --> 00:24:12.250
a lot. There is 13 games left in the season. So,
469
00:24:12.450 --> 00:24:14.849
but you are trying to figure out what can get better,
470
00:24:14.890 --> 00:24:18.130
what needs to get better. I don't think anybody had
471
00:24:18.170 --> 00:24:20.359
any illusions that the saints were going to win 11,
472
00:24:20.359 --> 00:24:23.339
12 games this season. There is still opportunities out there
473
00:24:23.420 --> 00:24:25.160
to go and win exciting games. You're not going to
474
00:24:25.180 --> 00:24:26.900
win them all. And you're not going to, and it's
475
00:24:26.940 --> 00:24:29.460
going to look ugly sometimes because of these deficiencies.
476
00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:30.220
You're not going to be.
477
00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:34.380
Able to just ride the passing game to every single,
478
00:24:34.940 --> 00:24:37.799
every single victory. They do need to improve. They do
479
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:41.470
need to get healthy. And you win a game like this,
480
00:24:41.869 --> 00:24:45.430
this weekend, okay, everybody kind of forgets about last week
481
00:24:45.470 --> 00:24:48.250
a little bit. Winning cures all. It rejuvenates the fan
482
00:24:48.289 --> 00:24:49.990
base a little bit. It excites it a little bit.
483
00:24:50.250 --> 00:24:52.289
You know what else can excite the fan base a
484
00:24:52.289 --> 00:24:56.630
little bit? It's Jordan Tyson coming back from injury. Whenever
485
00:24:56.670 --> 00:25:00.119
that is, we know what kind of player he could be.
486
00:25:00.740 --> 00:25:04.220
What we saw in training camp was absolutely electric. And
487
00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:09.130
all we saw were clips coming from practice. This pass
488
00:25:09.150 --> 00:25:11.309
game is good. And it has a chance to be
489
00:25:11.630 --> 00:25:13.490
absolutely great when he comes back.
490
00:25:14.950 --> 00:25:17.410
The chance. I'm not saying it's going to be. You
491
00:25:17.430 --> 00:25:18.049
still got to protect.
492
00:25:18.069 --> 00:25:19.779
You still have to figure out how to run the football.
493
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:22.980
But how do you make up for that? Well, you
494
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:24.680
have a great passing game. That can make up for
495
00:25:24.700 --> 00:25:28.259
a bad running game. Says the quarterback.
496
00:25:28.460 --> 00:25:28.599
Mm-hmm.
497
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:37.569
Top six rushing teams in the NFL, 19-5. The top
498
00:25:37.619 --> 00:25:39.880
six passing teams in the NFL, 9-15.
499
00:25:40.130 --> 00:25:54.230
That worries me. Well. It does. Saints were never going
500
00:25:54.250 --> 00:25:55.630
to be a top six team in the NFL.
501
00:25:57.309 --> 00:25:57.849
All right.
502
00:25:58.269 --> 00:26:00.569
Not this year. Next year, Super Bowl.
503
00:26:04.500 --> 00:26:05.220
We'll take a break.
504
00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:08.720
After that, more OTB when we come back here live
505
00:26:08.740 --> 00:26:10.579
from the Raising Cane Studio.
506
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:12.000
Off the bench.
507
00:26:13.980 --> 00:26:14.299
All right.
508
00:26:14.339 --> 00:26:15.599
If you are looking.
509
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:19.319
For an upgrade in your bathroom, but you say, you
510
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:19.880
know what?
511
00:26:20.119 --> 00:26:23.440

512
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:26.180
We've got school. We've got dance after school. We've got
513
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:28.339
so much going on. It's football season.
514
00:26:28.359 --> 00:26:32.009
There's no way that we can have, you know, three weeks,
515
00:26:32.130 --> 00:26:34.470
four weeks, five weeks of construction at our home.

536
00:27:33.470 --> 00:27:38.670
I think I'm falling. I'm falling on the wall. I
537
00:27:38.750 --> 00:27:40.970
think it's safe. It seems I.
538
00:27:40.930 --> 00:27:45.960
Found the road to nowhere. Locked in on LSU football 24-7.
539
00:27:46.130 --> 00:27:53.289
You're listening to Off the Bench. When I heard.
540
00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:57.440
Thunder, but I'm down to one last breath.
541
00:27:57.519 --> 00:27:58.700
And with it, let me say.
542
00:27:59.609 --> 00:28:08.009
Let me say, hold me now. I'm six feet from.
543
00:28:07.609 --> 00:28:09.470
The edge and I'm thinking.
544
00:28:09.490 --> 00:28:10.259
I hear you, Scott.
545
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:11.950
I wish.
546
00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:14.660
I wish, brother.
547
00:28:19.619 --> 00:28:24.579
Creed today. Why don't we get Chef? Chef probably appreciates Creed, though,
548
00:28:24.599 --> 00:28:25.480
if I'm being honest.
549
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:25.819
For sure.
550
00:28:26.099 --> 00:28:28.319
All right, let's get to Little Munchies with our guy
551
00:28:28.339 --> 00:28:29.099
Chef Michael Johnson.
552
00:28:30.109 --> 00:28:32.670
Get ready to tantalize your taste buds and leave this
553
00:28:32.750 --> 00:28:36.680
segment hungry. This is Munchies with Executive Chef Michael Johnson.
554
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:37.180
Let's eat.
555
00:28:38.779 --> 00:28:41.339
Chef, what's going on, brother? Was I right saying that
556
00:28:41.460 --> 00:28:43.160
sometimes you can dabble in some creed?
557
00:28:44.019 --> 00:28:44.720
Oh, yeah, for sure.
558
00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:45.380
Hell yeah, brother.
559
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:46.380
Yeah.
560
00:28:46.740 --> 00:28:50.839
Chef, how are we doing this week?
561
00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:53.259
You may lose me. I'm on the highway. I'm just
562
00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:56.289
north of Grenada, Mississippi. I'm on my way to Missouri
563
00:28:56.849 --> 00:28:57.509
to get hitched.
564
00:28:58.369 --> 00:28:58.650
Whoa, whoa.
565
00:28:59.950 --> 00:29:00.670
What?
566
00:29:00.950 --> 00:29:01.190
Huh?
567
00:29:01.349 --> 00:29:01.630
Yeah.
568
00:29:02.190 --> 00:29:03.009
To get hitched?
569
00:29:03.569 --> 00:29:06.109
I'm getting married this weekend.
570
00:29:06.210 --> 00:29:08.519
Hey! Holy cow!
571
00:29:08.539 --> 00:29:10.539
Let's go, brother! That's what I'm talking about.
572
00:29:10.779 --> 00:29:11.759
That's the way it should be.
573
00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:14.500
A bold move in the middle of a football season,
574
00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:14.940
I might add.
575
00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:17.000
I mean, look, I'm not going to call you out
576
00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:18.720
for a fall wedding, at least not on air. I'll
577
00:29:18.740 --> 00:29:20.440
do that privately. Yeah.
578
00:29:20.980 --> 00:29:21.119
Yeah.
579
00:29:22.140 --> 00:29:25.079
I mean, last time I got married in the spring,
580
00:29:25.140 --> 00:29:25.859
and that didn't work.
581
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:28.029
Hey, I'm with you. I'm with you, brother.
582
00:29:28.069 --> 00:29:28.630
There you go.
583
00:29:28.650 --> 00:29:31.069
I mean, where are we going to Missouri?
584
00:29:31.089 --> 00:29:33.990
I know you obviously have ties to Mizzou, but can
585
00:29:34.009 --> 00:29:35.089
you set the scene for us?
586
00:29:35.109 --> 00:29:36.289
Do you even know, or are you just kind of
587
00:29:36.309 --> 00:29:36.789
showing up?
588
00:29:37.509 --> 00:29:41.799
No. Lake of the Ozarks. it's beautiful this time of year.
589
00:29:41.859 --> 00:29:44.259
She and I are both born and raised in Missouri,
590
00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:46.839
and there's a little place in the Ozarks called Ha
591
00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:49.890
Ha Tonka State Park that there's an old castle that
592
00:29:50.150 --> 00:29:53.230
is kind of remnants of a castle. I don't know
593
00:29:53.250 --> 00:29:56.029
if it burnt down or if it never got fully constructed,
594
00:29:56.069 --> 00:29:57.589
but my grandma used to take me there when we
595
00:29:57.609 --> 00:30:00.849
were kids. Yeah. and it sits up on top of
596
00:30:00.869 --> 00:30:02.769
the hill and looks over Lake of the Ozarks, and
597
00:30:03.130 --> 00:30:04.809
it's October in the Ozarks.
598
00:30:05.299 --> 00:30:07.339
I'm sure it's beautiful.
599
00:30:07.380 --> 00:30:10.900
The foliage, everything. Well, congratulations, brother.
600
00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:11.700
That is awesome.
601
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:15.119
I'm assuming this is going to be a nice little getaway,
602
00:30:15.220 --> 00:30:17.940
but I'm assuming because it is fall, not much of
603
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:19.440
a honeymoon situation happening.
604
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:22.680
No, we're waiting for the spring for the honeymoon. There
605
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:23.880
you go. That was a little too much.
606
00:30:24.730 --> 00:30:28.470
Are we going to focus that honeymoon around some good eats?
607
00:30:29.450 --> 00:30:33.599
Yeah, I mean, that's what my life is, right? I
608
00:30:33.660 --> 00:30:39.099
think we're planning a little cruise trip around the Mediterranean
609
00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:40.779
to dabble in the food there.
610
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:42.950
Heck yeah. Yeah.
611
00:30:43.630 --> 00:30:45.609
I enjoyed Greece a lot. I think we'll go back
612
00:30:45.630 --> 00:30:48.069
to Greece and then to Italy and perhaps to Spain
613
00:30:48.130 --> 00:30:52.539
and Maybe Portugal. I don't remember all the places that
614
00:30:52.579 --> 00:30:55.960
we were expecting to stop, but it's kind of a
615
00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:58.329
smaller cruise, so you're not 10,000 deep.
616
00:31:01.869 --> 00:31:03.430
Now, Chef, be honest with us.
617
00:31:03.869 --> 00:31:05.509
Are you going to be able to fully turn it
618
00:31:05.730 --> 00:31:08.329
off with LSU on the road?
619
00:31:09.109 --> 00:31:10.309
Look, I know you've got a great staff.
620
00:31:10.529 --> 00:31:12.130
Obviously, you have a great staff, but are you going
621
00:31:12.150 --> 00:31:13.910
to be able to fully turn it off and not
622
00:31:13.970 --> 00:31:17.549
worry about maybe the logistics of what's going on in Lexington?
623
00:31:18.430 --> 00:31:18.579
Yeah.
624
00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:23.920
Yet you know I've been it's it's been piled up
625
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:25.700
on top of me all week and the ride is
626
00:31:25.740 --> 00:31:28.329
helping you know like that I love driving and the
627
00:31:28.769 --> 00:31:32.130
highway helps but I'm sure come wedding day I will
628
00:31:32.170 --> 00:31:36.130
be fine but you know it's um it is it's
629
00:31:36.269 --> 00:31:38.230
a matter of it's a matter of trusting your team
630
00:31:38.490 --> 00:31:41.589
you know and I do that um you know the
631
00:31:41.630 --> 00:31:43.680
dietician's kind of allowing me a little bit while we're
632
00:31:43.700 --> 00:31:46.059
on the road and So they're stepping into my role
633
00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:48.160
a little bit and getting to look at things from
634
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:51.700
a chef's lens. So that's kind of cool. But, you know,
635
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:53.319
you still worry about it, man. You want everything to
636
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:58.339
go smoothly. And people are superstitious, you know, like if
637
00:31:58.359 --> 00:32:01.680
things don't go well, it's chef's fault because he's not here, right?
638
00:32:01.700 --> 00:32:03.680
You know what I mean? I don't know, man.
639
00:32:04.460 --> 00:32:06.599
Hey, next man up, chef. Next man up.
640
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:08.759
That's right. Yeah, you're right.
641
00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:09.000
Yeah.
642
00:32:09.380 --> 00:32:09.859
Absolutely.
643
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:10.420
Yeah.
644
00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:10.559
Yeah.
645
00:32:10.940 --> 00:32:12.619
For sure that's a good one all right so if
646
00:32:12.660 --> 00:32:14.559
you're on a little road trip right now let's talk
647
00:32:14.619 --> 00:32:17.200
about like this is important stuff here let's get down
648
00:32:17.220 --> 00:32:20.819
to the important stuff the favorite snack on a road
649
00:32:20.859 --> 00:32:22.589
trip you stop you got to get some gas you
650
00:32:22.609 --> 00:32:25.190
got to run in to the gas station what's your
651
00:32:25.230 --> 00:32:27.609
favorite pick mine's like a dry roasted peanut i love
652
00:32:27.650 --> 00:32:29.869
it like a bag of dry roasted nuts it just
653
00:32:29.930 --> 00:32:32.230
hits for me diet coke next to it oh hell
654
00:32:32.269 --> 00:32:35.829
yeah fountain diet coke obviously obviously it's america what's your
655
00:32:35.890 --> 00:32:37.559
what's your go-to snack on the road.
656
00:32:38.349 --> 00:32:40.289
I don't drink soda too terribly often, but while I'm
657
00:32:40.349 --> 00:32:45.849
on the road, I drink Coke. I like pistachios on
658
00:32:45.890 --> 00:32:49.029
the road. I don't mind the shells, although if I
659
00:32:49.049 --> 00:32:51.130
can find them without the shells, it makes it a
660
00:32:51.150 --> 00:32:55.369
little bit less risky. Man, I'm an idiot for beef jerky,
661
00:32:55.390 --> 00:33:01.160
but I will eat one of those big, large $ 30
662
00:33:00.890 --> 00:33:01.490
bags of beef jerky.
663
00:33:05.829 --> 00:33:08.130
A huge bag that's 5% full?
664
00:33:08.809 --> 00:33:12.539
Yeah, that's right, exactly. You're paying for air and disappointment,
665
00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:15.119
but I'll still pay $ 30 for it. That's my per diem, right?
666
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:18.359
I've never met a bad beef jerky, I can tell
667
00:33:18.380 --> 00:33:18.680
you that.
668
00:33:18.740 --> 00:33:19.619
That's right, yeah.
669
00:33:21.180 --> 00:33:23.059
Hey, Chef, why is beef jerky so expensive?
670
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:27.160
Man, you know, at Pride, I'm not really sure, brother,
671
00:33:27.180 --> 00:33:30.000
because they use cheap cuts of meat. I know. These
672
00:33:30.059 --> 00:33:34.059
beef jerky companies are using the scraps off the cow.
673
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:37.339
to turn it into something that they're, you know, like, I,
674
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:40.619
I guess it's because the process and it's lengthy, you know, um,
675
00:33:40.660 --> 00:33:42.900
that it takes time, you know, to dry it out
676
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:46.450
and dehydrate it. Um, I don't know, man, people are
677
00:33:46.470 --> 00:33:49.829
proud of the products, brother. I've, I've, I've made beef
678
00:33:49.869 --> 00:33:53.529
jerky for pretty cheap several times. And, um, you know,
679
00:33:53.890 --> 00:33:55.630
I think about the margin that they're trying to keep,
680
00:33:55.690 --> 00:33:58.190
but that's why I like to buy the small local ones.
681
00:33:58.259 --> 00:34:00.299
At least if you're paying that much money for a
682
00:34:00.339 --> 00:34:02.710
small local one, you know, it's going to go into a,
683
00:34:03.619 --> 00:34:06.059
a man and his family or a woman and her family,
684
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:08.869
rather than some conglomerate that just choose it up and,
685
00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:11.199
you know, puts it back out.
686
00:34:11.880 --> 00:34:14.420
Corporate greed, baby. Effective beef jerky.
687
00:34:17.780 --> 00:34:20.329
Uh, chef on your drive, like from where you're like,
688
00:34:20.389 --> 00:34:22.070
I mean, I'm sure you've done it before, but from
689
00:34:22.110 --> 00:34:24.650
where you're at to where you're going, is there like
690
00:34:24.670 --> 00:34:27.630
a half to stop like a place on the trail
691
00:34:27.949 --> 00:34:30.230
that you're like, I know we're going to make time
692
00:34:30.289 --> 00:34:33.090
and you've almost timed your trip up based off this place.
693
00:34:33.769 --> 00:34:36.889
Yeah, there's, well, a couple of fuel stations are important, right?
694
00:34:38.650 --> 00:34:43.289
Mammoth Springs is at the edge of Arkansas and Missouri,
695
00:34:43.329 --> 00:34:48.940
and it is the origin of the Spring River, I believe,
696
00:34:48.960 --> 00:34:54.780
or the Mammoth River. And it's extraordinary. So water falls
697
00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:58.320
in the hills there and gets captured in this gully
698
00:34:58.860 --> 00:35:02.059
and actually goes underground. And then when it comes back up,
699
00:35:02.460 --> 00:35:07.059
it is the... source of the spring river and it's
700
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:13.289
very nutrient rich and very clear and it's warm because
701
00:35:13.349 --> 00:35:16.070
it's coming up from underneath and it's colorful you know
702
00:35:16.090 --> 00:35:19.349
like there's lots of seagrass and stuff or water grass
703
00:35:19.389 --> 00:35:22.010
or whatever that lives in it because of the nutrient
704
00:35:22.070 --> 00:35:25.150
rich and it's just a really beautiful place man you
705
00:35:25.190 --> 00:35:27.800
know if you've never been to a place where I
706
00:35:27.860 --> 00:35:30.559
walk where a river begins it's a pretty special place
707
00:35:30.619 --> 00:35:33.059
and it it's something it's a place where I always
708
00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:36.119
stop with my kids my son is with me and
709
00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:38.650
we'll stop today and and gawk at it for a
710
00:35:38.650 --> 00:35:40.610
little while and take some pictures not for too long
711
00:35:40.630 --> 00:35:43.949
because I have a timeline to keep but Mammoth Springs
712
00:35:44.010 --> 00:35:47.010
is definitely a place that if you're in northern Arkansas
713
00:35:47.050 --> 00:35:49.659
southern Missouri you know it's worth stopping it's in the
714
00:35:49.699 --> 00:35:53.059
middle of nowhere it's on highway 63 cutting you know
715
00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:56.329
as you Go up on 55, you cut west, and
716
00:35:56.449 --> 00:35:59.090
go up through the middle of Arkansas and Missouri, and
717
00:35:59.550 --> 00:36:00.550
it's a beautiful place.
718
00:36:01.090 --> 00:36:03.610
Well, if there's something that we understand over here as fathers,
719
00:36:03.630 --> 00:36:05.269
you always got to make good time, no matter what,
720
00:36:05.309 --> 00:36:09.389
no matter how many stops you make. Hashtag MachiChef. Does
721
00:36:09.429 --> 00:36:11.989
Chef like pierogies, and if so, sweet or savory?
722
00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:16.119
Yeah, I like savory. I try to limit the sweets
723
00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:19.000
in my life, man, just because I've always been that way.
724
00:36:19.019 --> 00:36:21.559
I've always been a savory guy, but Now that I'm
725
00:36:21.619 --> 00:36:24.780
borderline type two, it's something that I definitely keep closer
726
00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:29.699
to attention to. I even think about it, you know,
727
00:36:29.739 --> 00:36:33.929
like if you put some cream cheese or even boudin, man,
728
00:36:34.230 --> 00:36:36.389
you put boudin in anything, pastry, and I'm going to
729
00:36:36.429 --> 00:36:37.250
eat it, man. You know?
730
00:36:38.130 --> 00:36:38.329
Yeah.
731
00:36:38.349 --> 00:36:39.809
I love somebody.
732
00:36:40.989 --> 00:36:41.190
Yeah.
733
00:36:42.289 --> 00:36:43.150
Man, now I'm hungry.
734
00:36:43.190 --> 00:36:44.570
I'm going to have to stop eating.
735
00:36:44.610 --> 00:36:46.659
Chef, now you know what we go through every single
736
00:36:46.699 --> 00:36:49.019
Thursday when we have you on the show. That's why
737
00:36:49.059 --> 00:36:51.320
we moved it from the first hour to the third hour,
738
00:36:51.380 --> 00:36:53.800
so we can go get some food after we.
739
00:36:53.719 --> 00:36:55.550
Talk with you. Chef, we appreciate it.
740
00:36:55.639 --> 00:36:59.480
Obviously, a huge, huge weekend for you, so congratulations. Can't
741
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:02.289
wait to hear all about it over the next couple
742
00:37:02.309 --> 00:37:05.630
of weeks. Safe travels. Again, congratulations, and we'll talk.
743
00:37:05.530 --> 00:37:05.929
To you soon.
744
00:37:06.550 --> 00:37:07.570
Thanks, guys. Y'all take care.
745
00:37:07.949 --> 00:37:09.829
All right, Chef Michael Johnson, good enough to join us
746
00:37:10.070 --> 00:37:12.389
even on the way to his wedding.
747
00:37:12.449 --> 00:37:15.349
You could have taken the week off, Chef. Wedding week.
748
00:37:15.710 --> 00:37:16.389
No, you can't do that.
749
00:37:16.929 --> 00:37:17.420
Okay, you're right.
750
00:37:17.679 --> 00:37:21.059
My bad. That's on me. What are we talking about here?
751
00:37:23.260 --> 00:37:25.699
Football season wedding. When you work in football, good for him.
752
00:37:25.860 --> 00:37:27.280
He got it done. Good for him.
753
00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:30.070
It's hard to do. It's hard to navigate. It's hard
754
00:37:30.090 --> 00:37:34.909
to make those wrongs right. I do want to tell
755
00:37:34.929 --> 00:37:37.840
you about Tommy's Windows, Doors, and Siding.
756
00:37:38.449 --> 00:37:40.219
Go Tommy's. G-E-A-U-X.
757
00:37:40.260 --> 00:37:44.300
Tommy's with a Y.com. Go Tommy's.com. You'll clearly see the difference.
758
00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:48.500
Award-winning difference every year since 2016. The Angie Super Service Award.
759
00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:51.440
How about Best Windows and the Advocate in 2025? That
760
00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:54.019
went to Tommy's Windows, Doors, and Siding. Remember, they can
761
00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:57.360
also do gutters as well. They do a little bit
762
00:37:57.380 --> 00:37:59.380
of everything over there at Go Tommy's.
763
00:37:59.460 --> 00:38:01.679
G-E-A-U-X. Tommy's with a Y.com.
764
00:38:07.099 --> 00:38:08.940
Why is beef jerky so expensive?
765
00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:11.559
It is ridiculous. I think they got used to it.
766
00:38:11.559 --> 00:38:13.800
I think there was probably a shortage or something one time,
767
00:38:13.820 --> 00:38:16.489
and they had to raise the price, and then they
768
00:38:16.510 --> 00:38:19.550
just kept it raised because they liked the margins. It's ridiculous.
769
00:38:20.789 --> 00:38:22.809
And it's the bags. There's like four pieces.
770
00:38:22.829 --> 00:38:25.090
You get five pieces of beef jerky, and they're like,
771
00:38:25.130 --> 00:38:26.309
all right, they'll be $ 21.
772
00:38:26.190 --> 00:38:29.800
Yeah, and the little moisture bags are bigger than the
773
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:30.880
pieces of beef jerky.
774
00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:31.219
Facts.
775
00:38:31.619 --> 00:38:32.179
It's true.
776
00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:35.179
Even like a bag of.
777
00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:39.579
Chomps you know like oh dude those are so good
778
00:38:39.599 --> 00:38:41.739
you know how much that is yeah they're not cheap
779
00:38:41.780 --> 00:38:44.559
yeah let's say it's before we gotta get in this
780
00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:45.519
beef jerky game.
781
00:38:45.340 --> 00:38:48.800
Vortex yeah forget this hydration stuff what's.
782
00:38:48.619 --> 00:38:50.840
Big jerky doing see this is this is the thing
783
00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:51.880
we need to solve.
784
00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:55.150
Big jerks i don't.
785
00:38:57.309 --> 00:38:59.670
Know someone needs to fix it it's going to take
786
00:38:59.710 --> 00:39:05.920
some probably some congressional situation i felt interference I think so.
787
00:39:05.920 --> 00:39:07.179
It's going to have to come from the big dogs.
788
00:39:07.420 --> 00:39:10.099
Y'all go just regular beef jerky, like the flavored ones?
789
00:39:10.420 --> 00:39:11.679
Like a teriyaki.
790
00:39:11.760 --> 00:39:14.699
I do enjoy a teriyaki, the peppered.
791
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:18.449
I was going to say pepper is just always great.
792
00:39:18.690 --> 00:39:20.030
I like a jalapeno situation.
793
00:39:20.150 --> 00:39:21.170
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
794
00:39:21.329 --> 00:39:22.130
You know, that dog hunt.
795
00:39:22.130 --> 00:39:24.500
I was serious. I've never had a bad jerky. That's true.
796
00:39:24.500 --> 00:39:26.860
Like all the flavors. They used to have those like
797
00:39:26.860 --> 00:39:29.539
the jerky depots. They were always about like that's for sure.
798
00:39:29.559 --> 00:39:30.159
You know what?
799
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:34.019
You guys have inspired me. Luke, desk right next to mine,
800
00:39:34.380 --> 00:39:36.179
he's had a beef jerky stick on his desk for
801
00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:38.500
three days. I'm taking it. I'm eating it today.
802
00:39:38.579 --> 00:39:39.360
Whoa.
803
00:39:39.420 --> 00:39:40.340
That feels egregious.
804
00:39:40.460 --> 00:39:41.909
I mean, you can't just steal, Taylor.
805
00:39:41.949 --> 00:39:43.670
You can't steal a man's beef jerky. It doesn't run out.
806
00:39:43.690 --> 00:39:46.949
It's not his. Cassie put it on his desk, and
807
00:39:46.969 --> 00:39:47.610
he said he wanted it.
808
00:39:48.030 --> 00:39:49.650
So you're stealing Cassie's beef jerky.
809
00:39:49.730 --> 00:39:50.929
No, she gave it away.
810
00:39:51.389 --> 00:39:52.239
Luke said he wanted it.
811
00:39:52.269 --> 00:39:54.199
He doesn't. That's community beef jerky.
812
00:39:54.989 --> 00:39:56.420
That's at a certain point.
813
00:39:56.539 --> 00:39:58.880
I was like, there's some heavy lifting there, but.
814
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:00.539
If it's like, has he moved it from where she
815
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:01.130
placed it?
816
00:40:01.300 --> 00:40:01.769
No, no, no, no, no.
817
00:40:01.940 --> 00:40:04.360
It is in the exact same place as she placed it.
818
00:40:07.059 --> 00:40:08.659
I'm going to agree with you at a certain point.
819
00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:09.909
Not yet. Not three days in.
820
00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:12.000
He's brought in like protein drinks and everything. Two days
821
00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:14.800
in a row. Now with the beef jerky sitting right there, that's.
822
00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:16.039
A protein and beef jerky. What are we doing?
823
00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:18.929
Uh, Guy's trying to supersit, and you're holding him back.
824
00:40:18.949 --> 00:40:21.489
I don't know. All right.
825
00:40:21.650 --> 00:40:25.210
Anyways, that feels weird. Just thief. Thief in the night.
826
00:40:25.449 --> 00:40:29.190
I'd say wait until next week. If it hadn't moved
827
00:40:29.230 --> 00:40:29.469
by then.
828
00:40:29.489 --> 00:40:29.909
It's beat jerky.
829
00:40:29.929 --> 00:40:30.769
It ain't going bad.
830
00:40:30.809 --> 00:40:33.780
Yeah, if it hadn't moved by then. If he didn't
831
00:40:33.800 --> 00:40:34.179
bring it.
832
00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:35.260
Yeah.
833
00:40:35.639 --> 00:40:35.880
You know.
834
00:40:37.980 --> 00:40:39.460
All right, we'll take a break. Our last break of
835
00:40:39.480 --> 00:40:41.239
the show. We're going to finish this one like we
836
00:40:41.260 --> 00:40:43.320
do every single day. We'll ask the bench brought to
837
00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:45.960
you by Dos Equis, answering your questions.
838
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:47.000
Get those inside the chat.
839
00:40:47.260 --> 00:40:48.739
We'll get to as many as we can to close
840
00:40:48.780 --> 00:40:50.300
it out here on a Thursday morning.
841
00:40:51.219 --> 00:40:51.820
Off the bench.
842
00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:56.679
All right, go to RussellPools.com, the website for Russell Pool Company.
843
00:40:56.719 --> 00:41:00.630
Been in the game since the 1960s here in South Louisiana.
844
00:41:00.670 --> 00:41:03.050
There's nothing that they haven't seen when it comes to
845
00:41:03.070 --> 00:41:05.750
the pool game. We know the conditions here. They can
846
00:41:05.769 --> 00:41:08.369
be harsh. They've dealt with that since the 1960s. So
847
00:41:08.409 --> 00:41:10.570
when they build your pool, they build it to stand
848
00:41:10.590 --> 00:41:12.869
the test of time. If you bought a house that
849
00:41:12.909 --> 00:41:14.809
has a boring pool, not going to throw a shape
850
00:41:14.909 --> 00:41:17.349
on it because apparently I'm a hater, and you want
851
00:41:17.369 --> 00:41:20.280
to upgrade it, you can do that as well. They
852
00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:24.380
can put some different bells and whistles on your existing pool.

Yeah, don't take our word for it. Go check out

the website.
856

You can see all the work that they've done, the
857
00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:32.320
beautiful pools, the beautiful lands, everything they can put around it.
858
00:41:32.659 --> 00:41:34.820
Like things they can put in the pool of self-cleaning.
859
00:41:34.860 --> 00:41:38.840
They can put like different water features, fire features, lazy.
860
00:41:38.539 --> 00:41:40.639
Rooms, whatever. Or you can just get a standard pool,
861
00:41:40.659 --> 00:41:41.750
whatever it is. They can work.
862
00:41:41.989 --> 00:41:44.989
Whatever your dream is, whatever you have in your mind,
863
00:41:45.349 --> 00:41:47.050
they can design it. They can build it. Two landscape
864
00:41:47.090 --> 00:41:49.090
architects on staff. They are the best in the business.
865
00:41:49.110 --> 00:41:50.840

It's Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
868
00:42:02.010 --> 00:42:05.170
All right, welcome back at OTB.
869
00:42:28.710 --> 00:42:30.710
Well, Ask the Bench brought to you by our friends
870
00:42:30.769 --> 00:42:32.969
over at Dos Equis. Always a great time to go.
871
00:42:34.170 --> 00:42:35.030
Nice one.
872
00:42:37.260 --> 00:42:39.320
Hashtag Ask the Bench. Who's going to be the Tigers'
873
00:42:39.360 --> 00:42:40.559
leading rusher this weekend?
874
00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:44.739
Dylan Jones? Yeah. Is that a trick question? It would
875
00:42:44.760 --> 00:42:45.219
take a while.
876
00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:48.559
I guess maybe they're asking a Sam Levitt question.
877
00:42:48.619 --> 00:42:50.719
I mean, Dylan Jones would get 90% of the carries.
878
00:42:50.780 --> 00:42:52.860
Harlem's going to play. Harlem Berry's going to play. Harlem's
879
00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:55.960
earned some carries. I think Stacey Gage is going to play.
880
00:42:56.139 --> 00:42:58.659
He's earned a carry or two for sure. Great performance
881
00:42:58.679 --> 00:43:01.340
last week by both of those guys. But Dylan Jones
882
00:43:01.380 --> 00:43:01.880
is starting to run it.
883
00:43:01.900 --> 00:43:04.300
Let's not get it twisted. This isn't like in the
884
00:43:04.340 --> 00:43:06.460
past where it's running back by committee.
885
00:43:06.780 --> 00:43:06.980
No.
886
00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:09.639
Dylan. He's the guy. Dylan Jones is your running back.
887
00:43:09.929 --> 00:43:11.969
He's also your best pass protector, and that's going to
888
00:43:11.989 --> 00:43:14.570
be very important in this game.
889
00:43:14.590 --> 00:43:16.730
Oh, here's a good one right here. Hashtag Ask the Bench.
890
00:43:16.769 --> 00:43:20.150
Who has the most important, air quote, desk? A teacher,
891
00:43:20.949 --> 00:43:23.880
the boss, a principal, CEO, or coach?
892
00:43:25.940 --> 00:43:26.239
Ooh.
893
00:43:26.260 --> 00:43:26.480
Ooh.
894
00:43:27.989 --> 00:43:30.309
I read this, and I got two that stick out.
895
00:43:30.329 --> 00:43:30.949
I think principal.
896
00:43:30.969 --> 00:43:34.670
Principal probably spends the most time at theirs.
897
00:43:36.329 --> 00:43:37.840
Teacher has a pretty important desk, man.
898
00:43:37.860 --> 00:43:38.139
Yeah.
899
00:43:38.760 --> 00:43:41.139
It's a pretty important desk.
900
00:43:42.019 --> 00:43:44.460
Principal, when you go in there, it's like, hmm.
901
00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:45.219
It's a big desk.
902
00:43:45.380 --> 00:43:48.260
Not good. It's big. He means business. She means business.
903
00:43:49.679 --> 00:43:51.820
What are the real contents of that desk? I mean,
904
00:43:52.099 --> 00:43:55.389
teacher's desk, you might have, like, lesson plans, test answers.
905
00:43:56.650 --> 00:43:57.349
It's pretty important.
906
00:43:58.199 --> 00:44:00.519
I'm wondering if y'all are taking that a little too literal.
907
00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:03.380
I'm just wondering, maybe asking like jobs.
908
00:44:03.400 --> 00:44:07.559
I mean, I, yeah. I'll say teacher and coach.
909
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:09.550
Coaching spending a lot of time at their desk. If
910
00:44:09.570 --> 00:44:10.389
they are, that's a problem.
911
00:44:10.929 --> 00:44:11.150
Yeah.
912
00:44:13.329 --> 00:44:13.530
All right.
913
00:44:14.510 --> 00:44:15.449
Good question. I like that one.
914
00:44:15.550 --> 00:44:18.710
Hashtag ask the bench favorite sports comedy movie.
915
00:44:18.909 --> 00:44:19.949
I mean, it's major league.
916
00:44:21.320 --> 00:44:22.059
Major League's so good.
917
00:44:22.139 --> 00:44:24.099
That's a great answer. I mean, it's hard.
918
00:44:24.139 --> 00:44:25.480
Yeah, it's hard to beat that one.
919
00:44:25.500 --> 00:44:26.920
Love the replacements. It's a great movie.
920
00:44:26.940 --> 00:44:30.619
The replacements, like, if it's, like, silly, silly. Like, Major
921
00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:33.760
League's got a little bit of seriousness to it. But
922
00:44:33.820 --> 00:44:35.619
if it's, like, just off-the-wall replacements.
923
00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:37.809
I mean, original Happy Gilmore.
924
00:44:38.750 --> 00:44:39.530
Man, that's good.
925
00:44:39.550 --> 00:44:41.510
Yeah, Happy Gilmore's a great one, too.
926

Caddyshack.
927
00:44:43.329 --> 00:44:45.349
Caddyshack's fantastic. That's a good one, as well.
928
00:44:45.369 --> 00:44:46.690
If we sat here, I bet we could come up with.
929
00:44:46.630 --> 00:44:47.110
Some good ones.
930
00:44:47.949 --> 00:44:48.949
Does dodgeball count?
931
00:44:49.309 --> 00:44:49.829
Yeah.
932

Dodgeball.

There you go. Jeez.
937
00:44:56.940 --> 00:44:57.300
All right.
938
00:44:57.340 --> 00:44:58.500
Yeah, I know. I know.

feel about Six Flags?
942
00:45:07.699 --> 00:45:09.380
Yeah. Go west.
943
00:45:09.739 --> 00:45:12.320
You can go to Dallas. San Antonio might be getting
944
00:45:12.340 --> 00:45:12.980
some weather. I don't know.
945
00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:14.940
I don't know the weather there. Manifest destiny. Just go west.
946
00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:16.360
Six Flags would be great at Lake Day.
947
00:45:16.809 --> 00:45:22.050
Go to Six Flags Dallas. They got Arlington.
948
00:45:22.269 --> 00:45:24.360
I know it is in Arlington. That's true.
949
00:45:24.489 --> 00:45:27.239
Everything in Dallas is actually Arlington.
950
00:45:27.260 --> 00:45:29.019
But Dallas, look, I have a lot of fun in Dallas.
951
00:45:29.039 --> 00:45:31.219
Good city. Go to Six Flags. Do that. Watch some

That is the website for our friends over at KDZ

Interiors and Outdoor Living. Brandon Barton and the team have
959
00:45:46.900 --> 00:45:49.239
been in the game since 2004. They helped me with
960
00:45:49.260 --> 00:45:53.639
that motorized outdoor screen, and it has been a game changer.
961
00:45:53.659 --> 00:45:56.519
About to get some Roman shades as well. Going to
962
00:45:56.539 --> 00:45:58.199
get some more shades. Remember, they already helped me out
963
00:45:58.239 --> 00:46:01.929
in the kitchen because we want some privacy. Privacy if
964
00:46:01.949 --> 00:46:05.210
you're from England. We wanted to block the sun as well.
965
00:46:05.989 --> 00:46:09.289
We said, hey, here's what we're looking for. Well, it's
966
00:46:09.309 --> 00:46:11.869
not really sunny in England, though. You know, that's why
967
00:46:11.889 --> 00:46:13.630
I didn't use it the second time. God blocks it.
968
00:46:13.750 --> 00:46:14.059
Got it?
969
00:46:14.630 --> 00:46:15.219
You know what I'm saying?
970
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:17.960
Makes sense, right? What's a Roman shade? Like Julius?
971
00:46:19.500 --> 00:46:21.380
We've lost the thread here. Go to KDZBlinds.com.
