Often wondered what these guys make that just do these little lunch shows / via they have part-time jobs or have full time jobs - IE Hunt Palmer and the rest.

Ad sales and commission. Get enough show sponsors = good living.

Based on how much Ott claims to gamble, he must earn a healthy living or sell drugs.

Exactly, you get 10 companies to pay you $1K a month for radio ads. Boom $10K

Yeah but reason Culotta left was because he wanted more commission

It's basically a sales job

Jimmy was a bookie back in his college days before it was legal in La
Now he wants to be an expert by making his picks and selling out to the vegas oddsmakers to get you to place an online bet

At least he doesn't pump up Gamecoin or his roof business

Otter and Hanny are still my favorites, but I just wish they weren't so slanted towards betting for the entirety of their program. I miss the good ole days when it was just about their opinion on who's on first.

I’ve heard he has like a $500,000 house in BR. His wife is like a big shot at a bank as well. I think Hunt was born with a silver spoon though.

Probably, and that was how Hunt got in. As far as a sports radio talk show, he does a solid job though. I just tune into him the least because I'm not around a radio in his timeframe.

I thought Ott was divorced? I also think you’re wrong with Hunt

I think Ott is divorced but has his one son he talks about. Hunt’s dad is a dentist in Shreveport. He grew up wealthy and went to Loyola college prep for high school, a very affluent population.

Ott was ok before he left for awhile to do that nightly gambling show. Now that he’s back, he constantly cuts Hanny off and somewhat belittles him and is awfully cocky.
Ott and Tbob need their own show, they can call it Geeks and Gambling.
Put Hester with Hanny so they can talk actual sports.

for real

they play well off each other and I enjoy the first 15 minutes when it's not gambling related but I literally DGAF to hear them talk with the various oddsmakers, bettors, etc

I dont want to hear Randy Mckay mumble into his cell phone about which ladies Big East team he's playing on some random weekday night

I want to hear LSU and Louisiana sports discussion and other relevant big topics

Hester wants to be a bro too much, he didn’t work with Hanny.

Perfect lineup would be

Hester & Tbob: 7-10am
Hunt & Hanny: 11am-2pm
Mascona: 3-6pm
Ott: 11pm

OTB is getting worse. They are trying to force feed “TaTa” and Alandra on the audience now.
There seems to be very little show prep and less and less of Hester.

I’d recommend putting T-Bob with Alantra on a mid morning drama show and then put Hester and Taylor in the morning drive slot and they can talk sports.
