Speaker 4: Okay, we had breaking news last night. I don't know
if anybody is like freaking out like we are, but
it's breaking news. Shout it from a mountaintop. We have
an official Spencer Rattler approved Spencer Rattler nickname.
Speaker 2: Rat dat Rat that they said, I like it, Let's
go with it.
Speaker 3: Like we didn't have a lot of time, and I

Speaker 2: I like right where we're going.
Speaker 4: Shout it from a Mountaintops Saints fans, mount up, let's
get behind our boy rat dat.
Speaker 2: Shout out to spence Man. That was a lot of fun.
I enjoyed that great.
Speaker 4: We didn't get as long as we wanted to with
it because the season, it's Friday, they got a game
in two days, so.
Speaker 2: I was kind of like, we never like this and
shout out to the entire Saints staff. Yeah, we're forgetting
that done.
Speaker 3: But when they agreed to it, I'm like, that's kind
of we're gonna get a leg in the morning show
time slot during the season.
Speaker 2: Let's go right. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Usually it's like I would have expected to have to
record it at some point.
Speaker 2: Hey, we can record at ten thirty at night. I
don't know if you are still at the studio then,
but some time I'm available.
Speaker 4: FaceTime though, it could do that could lay like film
the camera the phone.
Speaker 3: All right, So before we kind of get into the interview,
get into the New Orleans Saints let's go ahead and
get this hour started.
Speaker 2: Go flow iv dot com.
Speaker 1: Go flow courtesy of go flow ivy spa where hydration
vitamins and a summer ready glow are always on tap
now for starters.
Speaker 3: And you know the thing that certainly happened. Tat was
given a fantasy football take to a laundra and you know,
just like wooden letter, push the button.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was changed that line up, putting in for
a waiver request.
Speaker 3: Tatay's just sitting there, like which chargers running back should
I take? Should I take the option B that's bad
or the option C that's horrible?
Speaker 2: Which one should I take?
Speaker 3: So that's probably what was actually, I guarantee that's what
was happening. Go flowivy dot com is the website. Go ahead,
don't let this weather today this morning fool you. Okay,
we know at South Louisiana it could be ninety later
on this afternoon. And look, if you're going to be
outside tailgating, and Matt's gonna be able to tell you
much more about hydration than I am. But you still
need it, right, and if you enjoy Saturday, maybe a
little too much, maybe just a little, maybe just a
hair you can go and feel much better on Sunday
as well Monday morning.
Speaker 2: Whatever it might be, Go flowiv dot com.
Speaker 4: It's also cool about it is this not just for hydration,
Like the weather is starting to change.
Speaker 2: Like I got a little hoodie.
Speaker 4: I always wear a hoodie, but it was a little
chilly this morning. I know it's gonna be like mid
eighties later today. But as the weather changes, guess what,
people are gonna start getting a little a little colds, a
little cough to our colds. And you go to go
flow they can help right there. Get them vitamines, get
the vitamin B twelve, the vitamin C shots, and it
will help you make feel better, like immediately.
Speaker 2: So go check them out. Go see him right there
on Jefferson, go flow ivy.
Speaker 3: All right, So again, we just had a new Orleans
Saints starting quarterback Spencer Rattler on That was a.
Speaker 4: Lot of fun, and it understood that his answer about
do you believe in ghosts to a certain extent?
Speaker 2: I get that to some degree that he said a degree. Hey, yeah,
I felt that.
Speaker 3: He did say YouTube is basketball highlights, so if you
want to check those out. But like I asked the
first question about getting a victory because a lot of
people made he's owing whatever in his first career starts
blah blah blah, and a lot of that obviously, Like
certainly last year, like you were held together with duc
tape and Super Blue, and then this year you had
a couple of nice moments, You had a couple of
nice opportunities. You throw a ball in the end zone,
you wish you would you know, would have been caught.
All that, But it is so hard to win a
game in the National Football League, and like once you
get that first victory, and the thing that's different in
the pros than it is college in the NFL. Like,
let's say you're a six and a half point favorite, okay,
and you win ten to seven. The thought of what
you were favored and how you were supposed to win
literally never comes into your mind. It just it never happens.
It's never talked about. People don't have those conversations down
in college football. If you're favored by twenty four and
you win by sixteen, people are like, oh, you suck,
You're terrible. That's awful, right, That's it's a different part
of the game.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: So for Spencer Rattler like to be close a couple
of times outside of the Seattle game, right you had
opportunities in all the other games, all three games, and
so to finally get over that hump and beat a
team again that beat the Chargers who were undefeated before you,
and then just took the Eagles to the woodshed last night, yep,
like that wins actually holding some pretty good weight right now,
Just what that can do for you moving forward. It's like,
all right, you get this, just thousand pounds weight lifted
off of your shoulder. You saw a victorious locker room,
you saw game balls being handed out to all the
different players, and then Kelly Moore gets his first victory
as well. I'm not saying that they're gonna go on
a six game stretch where they win six games in
a row, but that is something now that they don't
have to worry about. They can take that portion off
their plate and now they can move forward. There's things
that you know they're gonna have to do. Obviously against
the Patriots. Patriots have a.
Speaker 2: Lot of momentum coming off the Bill's victory on the road.
Speaker 3: But I want to see how this Saints team comes
into the game starts the game first quarter, first half.
Now that I have to assume that they've got a
little bit more swag in their walk as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a huge monkey off your back for sure.
So before last week you're looking at you saw a
lot of clips like, you know, all right, Spencer's playing well,
but he's only ten as a starter. So you can
look at it a bunch of different ways. And you know,
quarterbacks are right, wrong and different. At the end of
the day, they are judged by wins and losses. But
you also have to kind of get a magnifying glass
out a little bit and take every situation a little
bit differently. As a rookie quarterback, to be thrown into
the fire, to be thrown into a situation with not
much help around you, a coach has fired, Like the
from a coaching staff standpoint, everything is pretty much a disaster.
Everything's in shambles. Yeah, you got your top, you know, however,
many billion pass catching receivers and tight ends out your
offensive lines and shamble like the team's not good. How
many times have we seen young quarterbacks get ruined in
situations like that? We see it time and time again
in the NFL we see it time and time again
and college football. I look at look when Jared Lee
had to get thrown into the fire early. Jared Lee
was a damn good quarterback and would have been a really,
really really top tier quarterback if he would have had
time to cook a little bit, if he would have
a time.
Speaker 2: But you know, you're an eighteen year old kid.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you get thrown in the fire and you have
and things bad happen, like it can kind of spiral
out of control for a little while. It kind of
shows the dog mentality that you see glimpses of of
a Spencer Ratler to be able to kind of go
through that but still take every game and work an
offense and be able to manipulate an offense, hit your
take what the defense has given you, and not press
trying to like make things happen when things as a
totality haven't been going well for you.
Speaker 2: And it's also a testament.
Speaker 4: To the coaching staff right to be able to get
him to play at that you know, a play play
at a level that is respectable right now. Of course,
everything's got to get better, and I don't want to
sunshine pump too much. All I'm trying to say, is
this thing could have spun out of control from a
Spencer Rattler standpoint, and credit to him and the coaching
stuff for not letting that happen.
Speaker 2: And to be improving, improven.
Speaker 3: Improven, Yeah, and be efficient and be a leader and
be somebody that I think there is a future with.
Speaker 2: No, I don't know. I don't know where the Saints go.
Speaker 3: I don't, but I know that he is doing the
things that he has to do as a leader. As
a player, efficiency rate is one of the better ones
in the NFL.
Speaker 2: And you know you're getting some guys back.
Speaker 3: I mean when I asked him about Taysom Hill and Foster,
I thought something that was telling.
Speaker 2: He's like, you know, go to Taysoum and do all
thinks Taysom could do.
Speaker 3: But then he said Foster, he said, you get a
true tight end back, right, And so like Taysum's not
a true tight end. He's awesome, right, jack of ball
trades kind of guy. But Juwan Johnson's not a true
tight end play receiver in college, right, So like I
thought that was something that was kind of you know,
not a big deal, but it's like you get true
tight end you get a wide tight end back right right,
somebody in Foster Morrow that can be in line. He
can block, he can go out there, he can line up,
you can run routes. And I thought that was big,
and I think those two guys coming back talked about
it in length. That's big for your offense, like for
what Taysoum does and all the things. And you got
to figure that out. And it's a slippery slope. You
got to make sure you're doing the right amount. We know,
and you kind of telegraphed it even last week. But
you're gonna work on those things, evolve that with this
new coaching staff.
Speaker 2: But like just the what Jimbo.
Speaker 3: Used to call them the erasers, Foster erases a lot
of problems.
Speaker 2: Yeah he does.
Speaker 3: He does a lot of things that others can't do
within that offense at that level.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: Right, so, and a lot of things that go unseen, yes, unnoticed,
because they're not they're not the sexy play, they're not.
Speaker 2: He'll do a lot of those and he's capable of
doing that.
Speaker 4: But offensive line and good why tight ends do a
lot of dirty work that goes unseen, And of.
Speaker 2: Course there's a there's there's issues with the front five
offensive line, but a good tight end can help that.
You know.
Speaker 4: It's like a good guard can make up for a
bad center. A good center can make up for two
bad guards.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: It's there's just things that can and it brings. I
think a guy like Foster brings a sense of calmness
to the huddle, and all calmness in a way of
like all right, we got about to sell you what
you know, Foster, right, but like calmness.
Speaker 2: In a way is like all right, we got our guy.
Speaker 4: We got a leader here, but a sense of fire
as well as in like we That's the question we
were asking when things after the Seattle game, when it
looks so bad just not like from a totality of
the team, but it's just like terrible place that just
got you in a huge twenty point hole. Like in
the first quarter, we said, who's the vocal leader, Who's
the guy that is going to be the.
Speaker 3: Okay, get asked, Okay, guys going to be an ass,
but it's not going to hurt anybody's feelings on the
team because you're like, look, I'm not getting mad at
that guy because I know that guy. That guy comes
into work every single day, doesn't matter how old he is,
doesn't matter how many years he's been in the league,
and he works, he grinds.
Speaker 2: He grinds in the film room. He is somebody grinds
in the weight room.
Speaker 3: He grinds in the weight room in April, just like
he does in June, July and August.
Speaker 2: Okay, who is that voice?
Speaker 3: And when you have to be that, boys, you got
to be somebody that backs it up with your play.
You can't be Caesar Ruiz. I'm sorry. When Nick Underhill
said that a couple of weeks ago, I was like, Oh,
that's the problem. That's an issue right there, if that's
one of the leaders, and that's one of the voices.
Because when one of those voices speaks up, you turn
on the tape, you're like, that's like you're seventh with
in a row. You're throwing more no hitters and Nolan
Ryan right now, how are we going to trust you?
Speaker 2: Like, you can't have that.
Speaker 3: But when you have a foster Morrow, you have somebody
that is intense, somebody that cares deeply about his teammates
and how his play is on the field and how
it affects his teammates, and you know that when he speaks,
it's coming from a place that it should.
Speaker 2: Yeah, goes a long way.
Speaker 3: Certainly, we have a young quarterback now, Spencer Rally is
probably doing some of that. But when you're a second
year guy, right, it's gonna hit more and more as
it goes along. But you needed somebody. We didn't know
who that was on the Saints offense. We didn't know
if you had a guy. Again, when somebody threw Caesar
Ruiz's name out there, I was like, Oh, hell, what
in the world, what what are we doing? What that's
that's that's not no, that can't happen. And I know
we're piling on here, but it's just that's the way
it is. That voice has to mean something. Well, Foster
Morrow's voice does mean something, and that can create something.
Taysom Hills voice probably means something in that huddle in
those locker rooms. And so in a locker room video,
he did notice who broke it down? Broke the team down?
Speaker 2: Who's that? Brandon Cooks that's good.
Speaker 3: Too, but he'll see he's but but he's your third receiver,
so he's not gonna be in there as much. So
even that like, Yeah, Brandon Cook's been in a league
long time, twenty fourteen.
Speaker 2: I believe it was.
Speaker 3: His rookie year in ak is a quiet guy. You
needed somebody like that, and so like something like that.
I'm not saying this for eight nine, ten plays, but
for three plays a game when he speaks up, maybe
that's the difference.
Speaker 4: Anyway, big, big props, big thanks the Saints for setting
that up for us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was taking the time, dude. I appreciate that.
Very good and taco bell order canteenam in you pantic?
He's going straight to the canteen. Hum innu. Thank you
for Scott told me, can you gave me some insight?
You did?
Speaker 3: It was a good job by you, I think he said,
canting him menu because that's like the healthy error option
and taco be Then then then he realized like we
were fans of TV and he's like, oh, I can't
go out like this, and he said state.
Speaker 2: Burrito, like I got a reputation. I can't do that.
I can't do that.
Speaker 3: So, uh, look, I appreciate his time.
Speaker 2: It's got me more excited. Yeah, we're hearing. It's got
me more.
Speaker 3: Excited to watch the Saints Patriots game, and uh, we'll see,
we'll see where it's going to go. Now the Saints
get back a little bit more uh healthy, the injury
report looks a little bit better, and you now have
the momentum of riding the wave of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you just you just beat the team that beat
the Super Bowl champs. So process of elimination, we're the best.
Speaker 2: Go ahead and boocket bet that future bed.

It is OTB again live from Rouse's.
Speaker 2: Hey. Great question, I got an answer. Maybe.
Speaker 4: How do you feel that the new Jersey sponsorship patch?
I believe is official according to the news I've been
reading Woodside Energy Woodside Energy official, I'm gonna be LSU's Jersey.
Speaker 2: I'm not familiar with their game, not familiar with their work.
I I thought like it was.
Speaker 3: I would have bet a lot of possessions it was
gonna be raising canes, lamar walk Ons, anybody else kind
of stand out to you? MMR was definitely was another one.
Speaker 2: I thought maybe would be a leader in the clubhouse there.
What do you think the.
Speaker 4: All right, this is complete guessing, Like what do you
think the price tag Isn't that?
Speaker 3: So I looked this up yesterday for your top tier
like Lakers, Knicks NBA because they got it as well.
It's like twenty million year, twenty plus in some cases
like twenty seven soccer jerseys for your bigger clubs, or
like yeah, you know in the you know, same kind
of range your lower end teams, your mid market teams.
I've seen some as low as like seven million a season,
So I mean I would I would assume like at
least like somewhere in that range, like you're your mid
market NBA team, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's got to be.
Speaker 4: I mean, of course it's not as many games, but
I would have I would assume, like I would assume
eyeballs though on would be similar.
Speaker 3: Well, anytime you see a jersey, I mean, and I
believe it's all sports, right, so yeah, I mean not
just football. So you're gonna see it on basketball, which
has more games. Baseball certainly has more games, it has
more games.
Speaker 4: I'd like to see the stats on. Okay, so basketball
play how many games?
Speaker 2: Does it fit to? How many?
Speaker 4: I can't remember how many games NBA is I've never
watched one. How many eyeballs watch all however many games
and NBA has in a season, compared to how many
eyeballs watch the twelve games.
Speaker 2: Of college football.
Speaker 4: Obviously there's a lot more people watching the single game.
Speaker 2: I add it up.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm sure that's all part of the calculation
when you're trying to decide these sponsorship dollars. Yeah, okay,
eighty two NBA games, Thank you. I need to be
fact check. I was expecting Jake to come at me,
but he was so smart enough not to say it.
Speaker 2: I wasn't listening to you when you when you asked
the NBA games. I heard you ask games.
Speaker 3: The only reason, like the only stat that I always
go back to to remember how many NBA games there
is the Bulls went seventy to ten one year.
Speaker 2: Oh there you go, Like that's how I always say
eighty two.
Speaker 4: Uh so, if in the totality of eighty two NBA games,
do more people watch those or twelve college football games
for say a big time at SEC opponent.
Speaker 2: Oh that's a good question people are asking.
Speaker 3: I mean, you're talking about crazy different numbers. Yeah, I mean,
you don't know the totality of.
Speaker 2: Eighty two games. The numbers is probably pretty close.
Speaker 3: I mean problem because else she's gonna have like five
games they get double digits as far as millions of viewers, yep, right,
NBA game maybe get like a million, maybe a million
and a half, you know, on the big games.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, So.
Speaker 3: But anyway, yeah, but I did not have again, I
did not have a company out of Australia.
Speaker 2: Yeah, whats thatide? We are not familiar with your game.
Speaker 4: But let's see large liquid natural gas and LNG project
in Louisiana.
Speaker 2: So yeah, sweet, said ROI.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the only thing that I care about because I
knew we were going this way, and I'm sure I
know for a fact there's some people and probably somebody
that is on our station that was punching the air
last night when he found out like it was officially official,
you're gonna have a Jersey patch and all that. I
know that, right, It's inevitable, like it's gonna happen. So like,
I can't get mad at that anymore because it's just
going to happen. If I get mad, I'm just going
to be the angry old man like Flynn was earlier
on My lawn. Just being like back in my day, right,
their colors are red and white. The only thing that
I ask is, and I think I've seen this already.
I think this is going to be the case, but
I'm just making sure put it in school colors. Like
I know, your logos red and white. I hate the
color red Liverpool, Phillies, Alabama.
Speaker 4: No red, I can't. I don't think that qualifies as
an old man.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: No matter what the logo color is for, whoever's the
jersey patch sponsor, make it the school colors so it
works with the uniform. Don't have a red patch on
our beloved purple and gold uniform.
Speaker 2: And I didn't even think about that. All of a sudden,
I just got pissed off.
Speaker 3: I think I saw some pictures yesterday on the practice
jersey where it was purple.
Speaker 4: Oh look at there, Yeah it's purple. Okay, No, we're perfect.
So I'm not pissed off anymore. Okay, good, I mean yeah,
I mean you got.
Speaker 2: To bring in money.
Speaker 4: So you have to bring in money to be able
to afford players, to be able to afford all the
things that you need to make a program successful.
Speaker 2: We talked about it yesterday.
Speaker 4: Help programs from the West Coast to the East coast
are having to cut back on staff and support staff
and different things that help players prepare and get ready
and sustain their their peak performance because they're having to
and pay players that come in. So if there are
other ways to supplement that to where you don't have
to put your athletic program or your football team at
a disadvantage, then by all means. But if it's just
to make a couple of extra bucks, I don't love that.
But if it's just just like to make a little
bit more profit, I don't love that. But like, if
it's to sustain your competitive edge because you might not
have the the Booster dollars or the Nile dollars or
whatever it is, then by all means. But yeah, I
just don't want it to look like a NASCAR car.
Speaker 2: What do you call them? Is it a car? Yeah,
it's a Nascar Yeah. Our boy, Bama Gump, he said,
Bama is not red. Well, Bama Gump, you're a boy.
We do love you.
Speaker 3: But my good friend tells me that, yes, crimson is
a shade of red. It's a deep, rich red with
slight bluish or purplish tint. Who's your color spectrum? It
sits between red and magenta. It's often described as a dark,
vivid red, bolder than maroon.
Speaker 2: But deeper than scarlet.
Speaker 3: That's why teams like Alabama Crimson Tide use it. It's
red but with a little extra attitude. It's what my
good friend chat GPT says. Yep, so I mean it
kind of red.
Speaker 2: It's kind of right.
Speaker 4: And in the world of retail, that's why you see
a lot of red packaging and grocery stores because red
is an action color.
Speaker 2: I just want you to know that. Look it up the.
Speaker 4: True Yeah, it brings people. It calls people to action
that something's red. I also see a lot of red
out there on packaging.
Speaker 3: I also always heard a rumor growing up that if
your car was red, the insurance was higher because it
makes you want to go fast. I think that is
actually true. Okay, my dad had a red car when
I was young, and I believe he said that. My
mom had a red a Zuzu Rodeo. Not a big deal,
no big deal.
Speaker 2: Had the six seed each in the very back.
Speaker 3: You had a little remote up front, and if you
wanted to put six new CDs in you had to
crawl on the back, pop it out, put six new in,
put it back in, and go back up front.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 4: My sister had a red maroon Toyota Corolla, which maroon
is less red than crimson is.
Speaker 2: According to our buddy, mister chat it is. It's red.
It's red. Mhm No, it's not great red forty red
forty dame bad for you.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't turn me down, sorry, turn me up
in this thing. Turn a snare up. No, no, no,
oh no, I was pointing at him. It's pointing at
dumb dumb over here.
Speaker 2: Hey, sister Gene.
Speaker 3: Sister Jean passed away today.
Speaker 2: I think the I saw the the alert come over today.
Speaker 3: Oh man, and see that legend goat of the NC
DOUBLEA Tournament. I was, wait, gosh, five years ago, six
years ago that Loyola made that run. Yeah, I think, man,
that's awesome, like seeing her there and being a good
luck charm. So man didn't see that, so RFP, Sister
Gene certainly a legend again.
Speaker 2: Of the NC DOUBLEA Tournament. All right, we will take
a break.
Speaker 3: We still got a lot of our Friday staples set
to come.
Speaker 2: We'll give you the.
Speaker 3: Pontoon parlay, will have to make money the potty bars parlay.
We'll give you a little what's the ticket where we

into that. I know a lot of work, time, effort, TLC.
It does not go negotiate it. That was a top
notch and from all accounts from what people are saying it,
it went over well too. So like it was nerve breaking.
We've never done a video called Yeah. We tried to
do it week one with AJ Bobby and we just
couldn't figure it out. There was too much, too stressful.
We had our first week here, first week here, but like, yeah,
there's a lot that goes into just bringing that video feed.
So shout out.
Speaker 2: I know we'd launder had to order some new equipment.

But anyway, shout out, thank you. Yeah that was great,

Speaker 3: I don't have Adam, no yellow button yellow right there?
Speaker 2: Oh you don't have it turned up? Got turned up?
Turned up? Nope, nope, nope, keep going outside, yep, hit
it again there? All right, all right, all right, all right,
all right. I felt like a director there. I knew
what to touch and he didn't. No big deal. Radio
is usually right here, but I had to be over
there today for the video. Yes.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw this yesterday, Matthew, but
apparently the Steelers called the Saints about Rashid Chihed and
I'll try to see maybe if he was available. There
was also another one about Crystal. I don't know how
true that one was. The Rashiki heat is for sure
like that that happened.
Speaker 2: I'm sure people are calling him last year contract. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Look, there's a lot so I follow a lot of
people that are tied into the Chargers. There's a lot
of reports that they are maybe interested in Eric McCoy
and Alba Kamara and try and see if they can
trade for them because of the injuries that they've had.
Do you think the Saints would kind of blow it up,
like just in the middle of the year and trade
all these all these people. I mean, I'm not saying
that they're they're going for the Super Bowl this year
or anything, but like as as somebody that that follows
the Saints, like I get what you're saying, Like you
get something because you're gonna lose them, but you got
to find out like where they're at as well, Like,
all right, what does Rashiki heat want? Because we really
like him, like we'd love to have him. I know
he's been through some injuries, but what's that dollar amount?
Like you got to have those conversations. Now, if it's
astronomical and it's like way more than you want to
pay for him, then yeah, then you trade him. But
if you don't, if it's like, no, we can do that,
that's doable for us, And like you had to have
those conversations. And also Saints fans, I don't feel great
about Mickey Loomis getting a mid round pick and doing
anything of like value that's going to match like Rashid
chi Heed, Yeah, like right now, yep.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's a tough situation, and it's a tough
for the Saints fans because, like you see the sparks,
like we really like Rashichi Hea like that. We think
he can be a really good player. He's shown spurs,
I mean, the great play last week. We've seen we've
seen it so and we've seen all the reports out
of training camp how good he's the star of the
training camp. But we believe that he can be good
in the right type of offense, and we hope that
that's where this whole thing is going with the Saints.
But then you got to look at it from a
business aspect, like, yeah, exactly what you said, what does
he want from a contract standpoint? What is he like,
what is he looking for? Can you afford that? Can
you responsibly affore that? Because we've seen a blueprint on
how not to do it, which was the Cincinnati Bengals.
They're gonna pay their top two receivers an ungodly amount.
They're not gonna have anything they don't they they go
into this big battle with their star defensive player because
of all this happening, Like, you just have to be
a little bit smart, and so look, if you want
to try to spin it either way, like if it's going,
if he wants too much and you don't want to
put your team in that situation after the season, then
now would be the time when you can get something
back from him. But I don't want to see that
happen because of you got a new head coach, you
got a young quarterback. You're trying to build something here,
build momentum. And we talked like I don't want to
I don't want them to go get the first round
of the first pick of the draft because you're the
worst team. I would rather then because you need more
than one guy. Yeah, maybe you can trade if you did,
if that happened, you could trade the first round pick
and get multiple draft picks.
Speaker 2: But like you said, I don't know how much faith
can we have that.
Speaker 3: We're going to hit on all those traft picks because
Mickey just doesn't have a track record of trading back
in getting picks.
Speaker 2: He has more track record of moving up exactly. So
what I would rather show is.
Speaker 4: I would rather show positive momentum, a green arrow pointing
up for the Saints on where we're going from a
offense standpoint, a franchise standpoint.
Speaker 2: Our head coach is looking good.
Speaker 4: We got a good, good young quarterback on a rookie contract,
which helps a ton for sure. And I would rather
hit the free agency window harder than being a bad
team that's not going to get any free agents. I mean,
it's hard enough to get people to sign free agent
deals to come down in New Orleans. We understand, we
see it every single year. It's just not the sexiest
place for free agents to come and sign unless it's,
you know, unless they're either paying a ton more than
everybody else or it's a no only option. I mean,
I hate to say that, but we see it time
and time again. So I would rather them show that
promise and be able to attract free agents, proven free agents,
because you need more than just one top tier draft pick.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and if you start trading all your vets right now,
and not even like your older older vets, but like
Rashiji's a veteran player, he's still in his twenty zero.
So let's say you do that, you get all these
draft choices. Well, then you're talking about another rebuild next
year because you're gonna have a team full of rookies.
And if you're going to do that, you got two
young quarterbacks like Spencer Rattler is a guy for me.
But even if it was Tyler Shuck, do you really
want him surrounded by a team full of rookies. Like,
you've got to keep some veteran present. You got to
keep some of those playmakers. You've got to try to
resign some of your guys. Where she she's somebody that
I think you should try to resign.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: You do have to be smart. You got to have
business decisions. You gotta have conversations. Hey, if you're looking
for twenty.
Speaker 2: Seven million per year, Higgins money, No, we're not giving
you that bud eight million a year. Let's talk about it.
Have those conversations. I mean, I mean it's.
Speaker 4: Crazy to say that, but like I think a really
good number two receiver who probably number one receiver right now? Yeah,
for the New Orleans Saints. You're getting a discount at
ten twelve million.
Speaker 2: And you need weapons.
Speaker 3: You don't really have maybe what you need right now,
so you're getting rid of weapons. Like, what's it going
to look like there? Yep, Because for as many times
as I've heard Mason Tipton yelled at me, Mason Tipton's
a great preseason player and he's you know, rostered depth
on your team. But you want him out there in
eleven personnel with your young quarterback who you're trying to
develop for the last eight games of the year.
Speaker 2: I don't think you do. And I know you traded
for a receiver from Denver.
Speaker 3: You give up a fourth round pick there, he's been injured,
Like we'll see like where he is and what he
can give you. I know you traded for the Patriots
second round pick from a year ago. He's injured this year,
you won't see him. And I like that move for
the future. So I get all of that, But also like,
if you start getting rid of all your pieces for
six and seventh round draft choices, your young quarterback, regardless
of which one it was, but it's Spencer Rattler, how
does that develop him? If he's still in an Uber
drivers in week eleven the season.
Speaker 2: When I was with the Jets, we actually had a
defensive end that drove Uber on his off days. I mean,
he was a starter. We okay, now we weren't a starter.
Speaker 3: We had a guy who bounced back and forth in
Denver on the practice squad, but you know, boom boom boom,
boom boom, and he did something very very similar like
he actually he delivered medical supplies to hospitals, like.
Speaker 2: When they ran out, like that was his.
Speaker 3: So it was like an uber driver, but for medical
device services, like if he needed more goals or he
needed stuff for a cast or like whatever it might be.
Speaker 4: You know, that's so interesting. Yeah, this guy, he wasn't
like like a full blown like he was a He
he played. Maybe he wasn't like a started and played
ninety percent of the snaps, but he played, and he
drove Hubert and during the season too. One time he
said he had to like drive to Michigan and back.
He's like, I like, He's like, I don't sleep much anyway.
I just like driving. I like talking to people. Wow,
I hate both those things. I hate both those things absolutely.
Once you come here to ralses and talk to us, oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah I can. I can do that. But like somebody,
I don't really know somebody that, Yeah, I like, get
I put your deal, I put my headphones on. If
I get in aneuver by myself. I don't do that.
I don't go that far. Like if they want to talk,
I'm like, all right, there we go. Yeah, I'm in
town to cover a game on what game? This game?
Speaker 3: The National Championship game? Well, who do you have winning?
You know that that kind of stuff. Now, headphone's bud
wow on the plane too?
Speaker 2: Now on the plane.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like it, like if you're an Elstruy
fan and then I know, yeah, we'll chat it up.
We're gonna talk it out. We're gonna have a good time.
But somebody I'm never going to see again for three hours.
Speaker 2: We don't need to talk. We don't need to talk. Yeah,

for a long time. And he went like he went
to his Instagram and he's like, hey, like I've tried everything.
I've tried every medicine, every transplant, every everything, and I
just like it just does not stick with me. And
my man went and like let everybody know and got
a two pay and put it on Instagram. All right, Yeah,
put the glue on there and everything, slapped it on there,
cut it up, and he's like, you know, everybody, everybody
knows I got a two pay, but I got hair. Hey,
if you own it. He did respect to that. I didn't.
I didn't. I mean, I'm not trying to if I
didn't know. They still did two pays, and that was
a thing I've only seen two pays, like like on
sitcoms and stuff. Yeah, I mean too, like I never
you know, I didn't really know that they Mister Building
and Saved by the Bell he had a two pay
one episode.
Speaker 3: The only two pay I really know is the the
visor that has the hair already sewn into it to
pay a little bit, you know, I mean adjacent.
Speaker 2: They start selling those around Halloween time right now. Halloween stores.
So that's a wild concept, huh.
Speaker 3: The the superstares, the spirit stores. Yeah that they just
take over an old department store. Department stores are huge. Yeah,
how do those things operate? I think they're actually a
front for the Do you think so? I think I
like Mattress stores. Oh you have a theory about Mattress?
Speaker 4: Does I think there's a pretty big theory out there
that mattress stores are great, Like is it.
Speaker 2: A money laundering or is it a mattress store?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 4: How many people buying mattresses and they always got prime
real estate?
Speaker 2: That's fair?
Speaker 3: And how many times you buy mattresses? And the guy
from Houston Mattress Mac puts in a lot of bets
he does.
Speaker 2: People are talking right now is it a big time
Monday laundering scheme? I don't know. It's feels like like
a documentary you've watched or something.
Speaker 4: Now I think I'm not. This isn't like this did
not originate from my brain. It is certainly a conspiracy
out there. Maybe it's a joking conspiracy. Maybe not, who knows.
Speaker 2: We'll see. But like, honestly, how many times how many
mattress stores do you see around? You're driving around.
Speaker 4: More than you would think, more than one per city.
How many times you buy mattresses too?
Speaker 2: Not very often? If I do? Now, I skid it
from Amazon and it comes like vacuum sealed.
Speaker 4: And like the mattress I bought most recently for our
bedroom back in vacuum seal on the online.
Speaker 2: Yeah, on the online. Yeah, not at a going a
magis store and like laying in them and checking them out.

Are your local mattress store? People are asking, Adam, you
got a vote here, Halloween store, a mattress store.
