Speaker 1: I'll start Toyota Presents off the bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: I say Hester and Hester.
Speaker 1: From carrying each other to and Natty to carrying each
other on the air control.
Speaker 3: Live from the.
Speaker 1: Mercedes Benz Baton Rouge studio.
Speaker 4: It's off the bench, all right, welcome back in I
remember three O, TV, one oh four five ESPN ben Rouge.
Speaker 5: It is Tuesday. It is nine am.
Speaker 4: So you know what that means. Our guy, Nick Underhill,
New Orleans Dot Football, joins us. Now, Nick, what is
going on, sir?
Speaker 6: How you doing so good?
Speaker 5: How you got doing doing fantastic?
Speaker 4: Man getting it? It is Week one in college football.
We got some great Week zero games. We've got the
NFL right around the corner in the big news in
the NFL. Obviously, you got roster cut downs that are
going to be taking place today throughout the NFL. That
deadline coming up at four pm Eastern time. And so
we were talking about the Saints and before we maybe
get into some of the nitty gritty of who you
expect to be released, who you expect to make the team,
we put a number on it as far as guys
that aren't currently with the organization that are going to
be on this fifty three man roster. We said, five,
is that too many? Or do you think the Saints
will hit the waiver wire that strong?
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna.
Speaker 7: Probably be looking hard.
Speaker 2: I mean, Chefster just reported they tried to trade for
like the thirty third best punter in the NFL, who's
been caught by seven other teams, actually a three man
punter competition feld in this camp. So I mean, I
think they'll look at everywhere for Colin right now.
Speaker 7: I mean there's yeah, I mean I would.
Speaker 2: Probably say that there's there's guy fifty four on a
lot of teams that's better than Saint Sky forty eight,
forty nine fifty, So I would expect him to be
pretty active overall. Yeah, And what they should be, I
mean you kind of want him turn in the bottom
of the strauss. They're looking for gold. If you know
you don't got it there, you might as well, you know,
try somebody else's and it's probably fulls gold. But like
they need to be looking for ways to try to
find talent, try to find depth, try to find all
kinds of stuff. So I think five's a sneaky good number.
Speaker 5: For that Where do you think they'll look the hardest?
Which position group?
Speaker 2: Who?
Speaker 7: I mean it could be.
Speaker 2: I'm kind of looking at it in the cornerback right now.
I mean just kind of giving the injuries. Offensive line
I think is obviously number one on that list, Like
they've lost all their depth overall, Like everybody's heard at
that position right now. You know, if they're keeping a
third tackle because Landon Young appears to be probably pretty
hurt seeing him on like a scooter, So I don't
think he's gonna be ready for for week one. Like
who's their next best tackler in very Wesley.
Speaker 7: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't even know who you have go into again,
Like Dylan Braden's probably realistic we would slide over. But
I mean that that's a spot where they need help.
They've lost their death. I think I think that's top
of the list, you know, I think you could probably
probably man, it's it's everywhere, Like I don't even know
where to go next one. I list like if there
was a tight end out there, I think that tight
ends of a position, they're the top of that list.
I mean, like I doubt like a corner is going
to become available in trade or anything. But like I
could see a guy there. You know, I doubt if
someone gets cut it's better than your your depth. I
do kind of like Quincy Riley. But I mean if
like somebody was trading somebody that that's good and you
wanted to shore up, I could see it pretty much anywhere. Man,
Like they should probably be looking for a better quarterback
to put, but like they just aren't. So I don't
know that there's really linebackers the only spot where I'm like, man,
they have like outstanding that defensive Like those are the
two spots that I feel good about on the team.
But anything else, I think it is open for business, kind.
Speaker 5: Of like you go to a draft, it's just like
best available, just whatever position it is, Hey, what's the
best available out there? Now? I mean certainly offensive line
you have to because of the injury. How many of
these offensive line injuries are going to be drawn like
lengthy recovery times? How many guys can actually you know,
come back within the next couple of weeks, Like what
are those products? Like, what are the the times of
all these people getting now? They are they we got
some people coming back quicker than others.
Speaker 2: I'm kind of worried about it overall. I mean penning
as the turf though, and you know you missed eleven
games with it, So I think that's a rookie year.
I think that that's a big deal. I mean, that's
one that I think, even even if you're looking at
it optimistically, it just feels like something where there's a
lot of variances for setbacks or things just not to
go right, because you know, you're talking about I don't
know how easy three hundred and sixty pounds, probably three fifty,
Like that's that's a big human and a lot of
force on that foot, like you know, you get out
of bed trying to step on it one day too soon,
that could be a legitimate step back. So that one
doesn't look great. You know, Lennon Young, like that doesn't
seem great either, and you know, very very solid player,
very good guy for the team, but like that, that's
one where you know you can't really afford an injury
if you're him. So I think that they really need
to be looking for an option then. I mean, I
hate the idea of like making trades give them where
they're at, But if they made a trade for like
a death offensive tackle, Like I would actually understand that
one because I think that's more investing in, uh, the
safety of your quarterback than anything else. And like, you know,
if you're trying to develop these guys, like you got
to make sure that you're you're well set there. We
saw ratings at tackle. But I'm not trying to like,
you know, be over dramatic or anything, but like you
played some tackle snaps at first preseason game like it,
and it didn't look good. Maybe it's just about to
get your feedback underneath you. But like if Heming's out,
Raven's looks sketchy, and your next best option is is
I'm looking at the roster I now, like it really
might be very Wesley. Like that's that's just not a
spot you want to be at. You know, your quarterback's
at restaurant.
Speaker 4: All right, I got we gotta find some positive things
to talk about from the Saints.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 4: I actually think that the tight end group behind Juwan
Johnson has actually surprised me this preseason. I thought watching
the tape back yesterday, the tight ends actually played pretty well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Trayton watch is a bright spot for sure. I
Mean that's a that's a good time for them. Mean,
he looks like like a guy that that should be
on any NFL team, not just because of like circumstances.
Speaker 5: There we go, We we did it.
Speaker 2: I thought I thought you were jumping in there, so
I thought, no. I think he's good though, Like I
think he's he's legit, Like I think he should be
on a team. I'm I'm I'm excited to see how
he develops. Bloxwall catches well, Like I don't know, just
just seems like a very very like, hard working type
of player. Yeah, I mean I think I think that
he would be pushing for a spot, like if Juwan
and uh Fosher were both healthy, Like I think he'd
be having a legitimate conversation today like hey, are they
gonna keep Jack stolen trading welch, Like which way should
they go with it? You know, he's he's really he's
really out in nice camp and put it together, and
you know, I'll be interested to see what they do
with Like Ntaba and Jacobson, I think both those guys
are good enough to be on the practice squad. I
continue to be like bold by Jacobson every year, Like
he just looks like an awesome athlete. At some point,
I think he's gonna put it together. I don't know
if it's ever gonna happen for him, but like he's
the guy you watch a practice and there might be
something here. So I'll be interested to see if this
staff wants to keep working with him or if it's
the end of the line. But I'd like him.
Speaker 7: But yeah, there's some.
Speaker 2: Decent talent further down that depth start. I do think
at the top, you know, I would have liked to
see more from Jawan throughout this uh this preseason, so
we'll see how that goes into the season. But yeah,
Welch's Welch is a guy that I'm excited to watch.
Those are the kind of guys like you know, I
think that's what the season it is about, is like
about the trade mup is and just kind of seeing
you know, how they how they develop, how they get
good and you know, I think if you watch the
season through that prism, like there's things to be interested about.
If your bottom lining it, they could like you know,
nine or time lender. It's a felt season, no playoffs.
I think you're probably gonna be pretty frustrated from day one.
But I think that there's some interesting subplots here that
I you know, I think they should be the focus
of the season.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Nick, I'm kind of curious as well. On the
running back room, and of course we uh the Saints
cut came cam Akers they released him. But you know,
but ha and El Kamar, we were talking about the
two or three guys, so Clyde Edwards as he's made
some good I.
Speaker 2: Think they really they just cut. They just went, well,
we're idiot. They waved. Well, so.
Speaker 5: Jesus.
Speaker 4: The one the one positive like the thing that I
turned on the tabe and I'm like, okay, this guy
actually looks like he's got a pretty good food future.
Speaker 5: They say, one positive thing on the team Tradon.
Speaker 7: Welch like watching in the camp man it was good man,
Oh my.
Speaker 5: God, Well we suck again.
Speaker 2: Well, I guess breaking news right here. This season is gone.
Speaker 5: All right, all right, well let's regroup. Take a breath. Everybody,
take a breath. We're breaking news here. And off the bench,
the one, the one apparently got cut.
Speaker 2: I have a list of like like like thirty eight
people I'm checking on to see if they got cut,
and Straighton Welch was not on the list. I was
not even making calls on him.
Speaker 6: Gosh, I mean, I'm with you, like I turned the
tape and hold.
Speaker 2: On, let me let me tweet this real quick. Isaia cut.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you go ahead. You gotta do what you gotta do,
and we'll like, there's there's.
Speaker 5: No having Chefter on the phone now with this phone.
Speaker 4: H Yeah, Fosky should have been released second round pick.
Speaker 5: You missed. It is what it is.
Speaker 4: I know that, you know, you got to swallow some
pride whenever you have a second round pick. But he
didn't offer anything on defense. He didn't offer anything on
special teams. That is a bad combination in the National
Football League.
Speaker 5: It ain't good. Yeah, yeah, Nick, kind of know you're
I know you're kind of tweeting out some breaking news
right here, but yeah, I was. I was gonna ask
you about running back position because it's kind of like interesting.
So really, the what we're thinking was probably like the
two and three running back Mount Kamara would be Kendre
Miller and probably based on play Clyde Edwards E Lair.
But it's really rare in the NFL to find backup
running backs or number two or number three running backs
that aren't contributors in special teams, and in a big way.
Jake would say, like he was like all the guys
and everybody that I was with on all teams, like
the two and three running back they were like on
every single special team's huge contributors and that is part
of the reason why they stuck around and why they
were on the team. So I find it interesting that
those two guys aren't necessarily huge contributors. Do you see
that like making a difference in any decisions in that
running back room.
Speaker 2: Well, I clearly don't know anything, because that's not sure
much is making me same. I mean I would have
Clyden like I like, I like Bayless on the team
because he had good gunner snaps all all camp. And
you know, I really think like some of my stuff
feels like you know, j T grades compete against some
guys like that too, Like I think you're throwing them
all in that same basket trying to make those decisions.
I like Jones there. I like the explosiveness he brings.
It's tough though, Like I know they were trying to
find like another guy to add to the make State
running back, which I think kind of speaks to anyone
behind that Kendre Miller cut off line. You know, Devin
Neil only had the one game, so I thought he
looked pretty good. Though I'm gonna probably curse him saying this.
I thought he was a little bit of a bright
spot in that last game too. I thought he looked
I thought he looked decent. You know, I was like,
all right, they you know this guy, this guy looks good.
He's doing what he needs to do in his last chance,
you know, his only chance in the seasonson to make
a case. You know, I thought camp makers don was
pretty evident for those reasons like no no special teams.
I thought the past pro was sketchy. The thing I
think it's the most interesting with with Clyde is that
like that feels like it's something that like continue to
progress throughout that that process. But you know, I could
see Clyde being a guy that gets released and put
on the practice squad. You know, Hey, don't go anywhere.
I believe he's vested, so you wouldn't have to go
through waivers. Hey, just sit tight, don't don't leave. Uh,
don't leave the airport, Hilton or wherever the hell they're
saying and uh, you know, come back and we'll put
you on the practice squad, elevate you and then you know,
maybe maybe then at that point, you try to sneak through,
you know, a younger guy through waivers, get them to
your practice squad once your rosters are kind of setting.
The churning's done and people don't want to think her
too much and you know, go that way. But I
think they do have some options with some of these
older guys, like those practice squad spots like Jonah Williams
is the guy would be like super shock to see,
you know, on one of those like don't go too
far type things. But yeah, I feel like I feel
like Veyless, like the special teams thing I think gets
him a chance, you know, the explosiveness at that position
I've liked, Like, honestly before seeing like Devin Neale, my
top four would have been to Merrick, here, Clyde, and Baylis.
Then Devin Neale play Well, he's in that mixed somewhere.
I think it becomes interesting like Bayless could be a
practice squad guy too, you know, the only two that
I'm like convicted on being on the team. Like obviously
Kendra Att had had a great preseason. I think he
just made his stage. And uh, like I'm actually I'm
not saying he's a top five like football player on
the team or anything like that. Like, but I think
he has like like legitimate high level talent. You know,
if he can learn how to be a football player
and like you know, get assignment sounds and block brow
and be consistent, yeah, he has a chance to be
like a really good football player. But like it just
has to come together for him. A good thing for
him is that this coaching staff doesn't hate him like
the last one did, and I think he has a
chance to kind of you know, put things together and
and maybe get the kind of coaching that that you know,
suits his personality. So again, guy, I'm excited to watch
this season, but I think I think he's actually, you know,
one hundred percent going to be on the team. But yeah,
that running back spot is interesting for sure.
Speaker 4: All right, Nick, So last one, We're not going to
keep you as long as we normally do because obviously,
like there's a lot going on with the New Orleans
Saints right now. I mean, the Fostery tweet you put
out is already blowing up. Uh, receiver. We were talking
about that earlier because you got, you know, multiple guys,
four guys that aren't really going to play special teams.
How many receivers do you keep in? Who are maybe
five and six if you do keep six.
Speaker 2: So my my receiver list, Chris Chris olave Rashid would
be two, Clips will be three. I think Beile is
obviously on the team, and then I might keep I
don't know, like I don't know what the what the
market would be for Cedrick Wilson, Like he could be
one of them guys you try to hide on your
practice squad. Yeah, I'd probably go five to six and
keep Cedric and tipped in unless I feel like I
can keep Cedrick Wilson around it in that type of role.
I feel like somebody might want him. I don't know.
I just I can't expose Pitton the waivers, I don't think.
I think, you know, we always talk about like, oh,
this guy won't get through, this guy won't get through,
and it ends up being like two percent of the
players two point eight four. I think I saw percent
of the players get get claimed. I actually feel like
he's the guy that gets claimed though. Yeah, like he's
shown a lot. He's played well, you know, he's for
three speed at whide re stivers like somebody, somebody's gonna
take a chance on him. I don't think you can
expose himself. I think it's definitely those five and then
like you got the decision what with Cedric Wilson, I
would probably go six and go short somewhere else. And
you know, like we said, like they're going to be
trying to get guys off other people's teams. I don't
think there's a lot of people that you're afraid of
losing if he tried to get them through to the
practice squad, and you can use those elevations, say I
kind of is a a total to get extra guy
on the team.
Speaker 5: Nick, look at us, dude, guess what we just did.
We just got the whole interview. Didn't ask you about
a quarterback A man? Yeah? Still, seriously, seriously, who started?
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know total were let him go early?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're right answer that.
Speaker 2: I think, Well, Look, I think I think, uh, you know,
I think all signs point towards Rattler. I'd be you know,
I don't know. I thought I thought Shuck played really
well in my last game, he did a couple of things.
I don't know. You know, I felt like that was
a dress rehearsal though, and I wouldn't say it was
like a smooth landing of the plane, like it bounced
a little bit coming down and you're gripping the armrest
a little bit. But he didn't crash it.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 2: I thought, if your plan was to go Rattler, and
it felt like it was going into that week, I
don't think anything really changed to change your opinion on it.
Speaker 5: So we'll see.
Speaker 2: I'm still on the like, you know, let him get
like the first four or five games, Let let him
deal with Abdol Carter and then and then let Shuck
go in against the Patriots if things aren't going great.
But I think you get a chance to evaluate both
of them. I think by the end of the season, though,
Like my guess is that still is that Shuk ends
up having more more starts overall than than Rattling.
Speaker 4: All right, there is our guy, Nick Underhill, New Orleans
Duff Football. Nick, get back to work, man. We appreciate
you joining us and breaking news here. Isaiah Foski is
going to get released from the New Orleans Saints. But uh,
good luck and go charge your phone, all right, thank
you man.
Speaker 5: Oh man, It's no longer the Madden curse, Sodick Underhill curse.
Speaker 6: So a couple of things to break down there. We'll
do it when we come back.
Speaker 4: Obviously, multiple players getting released, one that I just you
got to explain that one to me.
Speaker 5: One that made sense.
Speaker 4: And good on Nim for doing it and not looking
at where they drafted him and allowing that to be
the factor in the roster decision. So let's take a break.

were just on the phone with Nick Underhill New Orleans
dot Football and we had a couple of roster moves.
Maybe Isaiah Foski, maybe that's surprising just because he was
a second round pick in twenty twenty three. He has
not given you anything, And I like, I'm I'm not
picking on the guy.
Speaker 5: Don't know the guy.
Speaker 4: He was a good player at Notre Dame, didn't turn
out to be a good player in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: He gave you nothing on defense, he gave you nothing
on special teams. And a lot of times a guy
like this continues to get chances because he was the
second round pick. So honestly, good on the Saints for saying,
you know what, we got other players that can help
us at that position, and the only reason we're keeping
him right now is because he was a second round pick.
So Isaiah Foski not a real shock gets released by
the New Orleans Saints, but trading Welch getting released. Like
we were literally sitting here talking nice about him, waxing
poetic about him. I mean, he had a really good preseason,
not just catching the football, former receiver, but he's done
a really nice job blocking. And then as we're talking
about him, it comes across Nick's phone that he gets released. Look,
you've got tight ends that are injured. False Morow won't
be back to start the season. We don't know what's
gonna happen with Taysom Hill. Like this felt like and
I know you drafted a tight end out of UCLA
in the seventh round, but Welch felt like somebody that
you didn't even have to worry about, like he was
going to be on this roster and they're like, hey,
one bright spot, how about the tight end group? And
of course the Saints move on from him.
Speaker 5: Yes, you had a little bit of a glass glass
ball day, crystal ball. Excuse me? Uh? Taylor did he
told us at the break he is, I am. I'm
pretty sure they're going to keep Jack Stall, so he
thought that trade trading Welch might be on the old
bubble line.
Speaker 10: Jack Stall played in Philly for three years. He played
with Kellen Moore. He's a blocking tight end lines not
great like I was just kind of looking at it.
Speaker 6: Jwan Johnson's not a great blocker.
Speaker 5: But Jack Stalls.
Speaker 4: Foster's heard that's your blocker. Yeah, but still, man, Welch
will make an NFL roster. He'll be on a fifty
three man.
Speaker 5: I believe. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I really like going back and watching the tape. I
thought he was really good. I thought he did a
lot of nice things in the preseason.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean obviously it's a group.
Speaker 6: I mean it's a group that really needed some help too.
Speaker 5: We're not there day and day out watching practice, film,
watching the All eleven or anything like that. But like
in a preseason run of just three games, which is
what the average fan gets to watch, is the three
games that are that are on television, is not a
lot of bright spots straightened watch made some good plays
and he was one guy, all right, this guy could play.
We got we got somebody and we've talked about it
multiple times after these preseason games, coming in on Monday
talking out the tight end. The tight end position looked
pretty good yesterday. They made some plays, they were where
they needed to be, made some really good catches. Yeah,
then you then you count one of them. Yeah mm hmm.
I don't know. It was interesting. Receiver though, maybe they
got some up their sleeve. Sure they're getting they've shown
maybe Kittle's coming.
Speaker 4: Maybe Gronk Cassi's coming out. He's retirement, going to play
for the Saints. There when he was talking receiver, he
didn't mention keeping Dante Pettis. So is the plan going
to be Rashid Shahi to still be the returner for
this team?
Speaker 5: Are?
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously kick returner that's different now with the
new rules. I think you can have some different body
types in there, and you can have like if you
want to put Kendre Miller back there because it is
now more of a running back I think position as
far as kick returner because of how it's kind of
blocked up now compared to what it used to be.
Yep uh, but part returner, Like I just figure that
Dante Pettis would be that guy. But if you release him,
I don't know what that other option would be.
Speaker 5: There's there's decisions that are gonna have to be made
by Calamore, and it's a big decision about she like
you if you want to put Shaheed back there to
be a returner that is, and he can be dynamic
at that And when you're a team that is has
the thirty second ranked roster from top to bottom in
the NFL, and you're gonna be fighting for every single
chance and opportunity to win a game all season long,
a return here or there can make a difference. And
for a team that's not going to threaten to go
to the playoffics or make a make a Super Bowl
run like that can make a big difference on your
team is to be dynamic in that phase. But then
you also the big decision comes is, well, we have
such just small depth at the wide receiver rim like,
I can't afford to my best guy or one of
my top two eyes to have something happen on a
kickoff return that is going to ruin that death. Because
like you've said it, you went out to practice and said, hey,
the one deep the starting eleven, pretty good? Yeah, pretty
good roster when you look from top to bottom. It's
when you get into the two and the three deep.
Speaker 4: The tune of three D might be the worst in
the NFL. The first group I look, you could put
somewhere in the high teens.
Speaker 5: I think. So it's a big, big drop off, like
when you're not expected to be very good and you
know it's kind of a rebuilding year as a head coach.
You know what a difference of uh, strike strike lightning
with a punt return or kickoff team, like you can
steal games that way, and when you're trying to steal
every single win that you can in a season, Like
it's a big decision to make. Maybe he returns some
maybe he doesn't like. Maybe they strategically put him out
there when it's if they're down or it's a close game,
something like that. Maybe maybe I can see that happen. Yeah,
but may especially with two young quarterbacks where you're trying
to figure out what you got at that position. Just
like Nick was saying, like I would expect them to
bring in an offensive line and just like even if
you had to trade for a tackle, like he can
justify that in his own mind because at least you're
protecting your investment in your quarterback development. That's that's an
investment into that. So please keep just all the receivers healthy,
just because the goal for the end of the year,
it's like, all right, we're not going to Super Bowl,
we get it, all right, fine, whatever, but at least
at the end of the year, let's know which way
direction we're going at quarterback. Yeah, I agree that you've
got to have healthy receivers. Like if if you get everybody,
if it's like last year where your top five pass
catchers are out, offensive line is in shambles, like, you're
still not going to know at the end of the year. Yeah,
you're still not going to have that answered.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and if you do, it's not gonna be fair
to the person you're judging because they were in front
of the bomb squad with no weapons. All right, So

O four five, ESPN Ben Rouge, as we dive back
into the l U Clemson matchup right now ESPN Matchup
Predictor Clemson fifty three point eight percent chance to win
the game, LSU forty six point two percent chance to
win the game. Clemson right now is a favorite. They
are minus four at home. The over under is set
at fifty seven and a half fifty three percent chance
of winning.
Speaker 5: Cording the ESPN tracker, that does not usually equivalent like
equal out to minus four. It's usually a typically when
you see that number minus one and a half, Yeah,
maybe some's fishy, some real fishy.
Speaker 4: LSU is uh, it's minus one fifteen at that plus
four as well, I'll.
Speaker 5: Get it, get it while it's hot. I gotta feel
in some big money is going to be coming in
on the LSU Tigers. What do you feel about the
total there? Fifty seven and a half? Probably good time.
I mean it's probably like a good line for Vegas
is set because it makes you think a little bit pain.
Speaker 6: Thirty you gotta get to thirty one twenty seven?
Speaker 5: Mm hmm. Do you like points? I don't know.
Speaker 4: Two really good quarterbacks, two really good offenses, but the
offensive lines are the questions for both teams.
Speaker 6: Clemson defense obviously highly touted.
Speaker 4: We're expecting a big jump from LSU's defense from year
one to year two under Blake Baker. Total just seems
like big number, high number.
Speaker 5: I think, Uh, it's an offensive guy. I hope it
gets there. Yeah, I think it'll get the Well, my
prediction was, I believe I said the score is gonna
be al you thirty seven Clemson? Yet ready for this?
To twenty six?
Speaker 3: You were a number off from what you said. That
number you said thirty eight twenty seven?
Speaker 5: It was eleven.
Speaker 6: I think I said thirty one twenty eight.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you said eight Tigers. What I say again, thirty
eight twenty seven. That's what it's gonna be told you.
Speaker 10: I'm right, I'm writing it down.
Speaker 5: That's the score. Thirty one eight, thirty one twenty eight.
That's what I got. Okay, what'd you have?
Speaker 3: So the over?
Speaker 10: Oh, I guess I'm definitely taking the over.
Speaker 5: I don't know yet. You didn't put survey we got
a certain score prediction. Yeah, I haven't sent that one
in yet. Oh my god. He didn't need no one
until Fred asked for both a laundre? Did you put
it in there?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: I told you didn't see what I said in the chat.
I was like, skip me.
Speaker 8: I'm traveling like I'm not answering a question while I'm
not at work.
Speaker 5: No, I haven't. I haven't put that one in yet there. Yeah, yeah,
the who knows skip.
Speaker 3: Card Yeah, pass work on vacation.
Speaker 5: Asked you a question pass this week.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm passing. I'll answer the prediction one though.
Speaker 5: Oh did you what did you tune in yesterday?
Speaker 3: Like the last two so seconds?
Speaker 5: So did you see the prop that I didn't see this? Okay,
we'll have to bring it out again. I'll get it
at the commercial work. IM go get it right now.
Keep talking. So we got something. So we've been talking about,
you know, we talked about all summer, like once we
get into football season. Yeah, we want to have some good,
friendly Foxhoul competitions. We wanted to make some bold predictions.
So we're gonna make some this week. We're gonna be
making bold predictions for the year. Year on bold predictions,
how things are going to play out. Things we may
foresee with our OTB crystal ball happening.
Speaker 3: To coaches, which is very accurate.
Speaker 5: And then but we're also gonna make weekly ones and
we want to celebrate the victories.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we have a check out. Oh not the chain.
Speaker 5: We got the OTB turnover chain.
Speaker 3: Let's go wait, that's awesome. Is that why you asked
for the logo the other day?
Speaker 5: Yep? Sure?
Speaker 3: Is is it heavy?
Speaker 5: And if you're we had to tell the listeners yesterday.
So everybody's asking that is not real gold?
Speaker 3: It's not.
Speaker 5: It's not real gold. It's actually really well done, though
it is.
Speaker 3: Where did you get this?
Speaker 5: Don't have money? Real gold necklace too? I can't reveal
my sources.
Speaker 3: I like it though, So who wore it yesterday?
Speaker 5: Jake? Nobody wore it because nobody's earned it. Yet he
broke it out at the end of the show. We
broke it out at the end of the show. This
is what's up for grabs?
Speaker 3: Is it like?
Speaker 10: Actually, if you wear that for twenty minutes.
Speaker 5: Head and neck made of rich mahogany, do.
Speaker 3: Some squats with this on.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, It's like, we gotta take some links out though.
Speaker 5: Is that thing made for shock? I know, we'll take
a few links off. We'll start with two either two,
I take two feet off that thing.
Speaker 3: Wait, this is like super low down.
Speaker 5: Yeah, my waist, the belt buckley. We'll take some links off. Guys.
Speaker 6: Uh So when are we doing the week one Bowl prediction?
Speaker 5: I don't know. I mean we probably need to probably
Thursday Friday. We'll get into some bold predictions. I know
we got a lot of gambling picks will do for Friday. Yeah,
maybe we target let's target Thursday for season long like,
so our season long bold predictions right like super hot,
like kind of hot medium hot? Well, we want some
like flaming ghost pepper hot takes.
Speaker 4: So like if we predict a game where a team
is a like seven point dog and we call them
to win straight up, would that be bold.
Speaker 5: For the like a weekend bold pick, because I.
Speaker 4: Mean we can't look, we can't have that chain, that
beautiful chain and only where once.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so we're gonna have bold picks for like every weekend.
But then but Thursday, I want to do a season
long like this coach is getting fired.
Speaker 6: For sure, we can do that.
Speaker 4: But I'm saying I want to wear the chain chains,
so I think we should go a bold pick. And
it's got to be like we set the line, like
they got to be at least a six point dog
or a seven point dog, and we each pick one
and then if yeah, and if nobody gets a chain,
nobody gets a chain, Ryder Cup whatever, a Ryder Cup, yeah, September. Hell,
I know about the Ryder Cup because America, I know.
Speaker 5: And you love your country, yeah, I do, But you
want to beat the brakes off them Europeans.
Speaker 6: Always it's kind of unfair, like they get all of Europe.
Speaker 5: Well, it's it's unfair for them because we get all
of America.
Speaker 4: Right, But I'm asking the question, like they get Spain
United Kings.
Speaker 5: It's like America versus the world. More times than not,
America come out on top of America. Shout out to
the Louisiana guys. A couple of years ago, m.
Speaker 6: This chain did not come from t MoU.
Speaker 5: Daniel says, no, it did not. This is not Timu.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 5: I just kind of googled custom turnover chains. A couple
of like websites with advertisements really.
Speaker 3: Well done, whatever, plaque, whatever you want to call it it.
Speaker 5: I think I got it from. I think it was
a company called big Head Customs.
Speaker 6: I think, of course you got from big Head really good.
Speaker 3: Uh do you remember fat Heads?
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, used to have an l shu fat Head.
Speaker 4: They tried to and I think it was David Pollock
of all people, was trying was like a co owner.
They tried to have one like a competitor fat Head.
And I remember I signed a deal with him my
rookie year because like shocking, fat Head wasn't calling, you know,
but this company was. And so I signed a deal
with them, and it lasted like three months, didn't take
off like we.
Speaker 5: Thought, didn't hit got in on the ground floor. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I did get a free one though.
Speaker 4: So I've got one somewhere and probably a storage unit
somewhere across America. It's probably been on Storage Wars.
Speaker 5: Watching Storage Wars.
Speaker 10: He's like, that's my storage unit.
Speaker 5: Storage units, man, Yeah, how many have you had?
Speaker 8: To have?
Speaker 5: So many? All of them. I still got one, and
there's no reason for it. You have one. I don't
have one. We have We had some stuff when we
moved from Saint Francis to be like, we just didn't
have place for and it's like it's stuff we want,
like we want to keep and so man, we spent
so much money on this stuff, like we got to
keep it, but like four years later, paying for that
storage unit, it's like, I could, is that pool table
worth it? Not the pool table.
Speaker 4: I want the pull table between the pool table and
the foodsball table that Tata's got.
Speaker 3: We're about to have a game.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 4: You think on top or too. You think we could
haul it up those stairs.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, well it's it's it's in pieces right now. Okay,
it would take time, take a couple of trips. Yeah,
I don't know. We've tried to sell it a few times.
But it's like it's brand new too. When I was
I got to Seattle, it's brand new. Use it for
like two years storage unit.
Speaker 4: You're basically paying every month to store it and you
can't sell it.
Speaker 5: It's not We've got other things in there, but it's
one of those things story Judis. Man, I just keep
wanting to get rid of it, and then you forget
about it. It's annoying.
Speaker 3: Good Tigers Tigers.
Speaker 5: By Milli Tiger's by a MILLI which tigers?
Speaker 10: Oh true, don't answer because you'll be right.
Speaker 5: No, I'm not gonna be right. I don't want to
be right. Land.
Speaker 4: I can't believe none of you are going to be
there'nna be big Tiger's gonna be holding it down?
Speaker 5: Can you believe that?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean last year we all kind of went.
Speaker 10: It was Vegas, Vegas, yess in South Carolina. Not a
vacation destination.
Speaker 5: I wonder where we fly into.
Speaker 4: I wonder if they have an airport big enough for
this big old plane we're about.
Speaker 5: To bring out there bro as far as Columbia, green Grainville,
South Carolina.
Speaker 8: Greenville, South Carolina. I was there for like a month.
Maybe my dad was like doing a job there and
I just was born.
Speaker 5: Did you say the big dumper cal cal a lot
of runs? We should have brought him up yesterday. We
kind of had the expedited week in winter. But yeah,
this weekend hit his forty ninth home run, becoming the
all time leading home run catcher forty nine. Say, I
think gonna thirty games left on pace to surpass mister
King Griffy R. For the all time wow home run leader.
I think I think he had fifty six twice as well.
Speaker 10: Cal Rally hit fifty last night?
Speaker 5: Did he hit fifty last night? Well? I thought I
saw something this morning. I was like, we hit fifty
last night, the forty ninth on Sunday.
Speaker 10: I believe because this MLB posted a thirteen hours ago
cal rally fiftieth home run.
Speaker 5: Pretty good baseball player, not bad. You gotta know I'm
not just some guy when it comes to fucking baseball. Yeah.
Speaker 4: They they do play the Rangers though, so it's Flynn adjacent.
Didn't seem to vision and everything.
Speaker 5: Man, he swings with some just some anger. That's uh.
Speaker 4: That's the record all time for catcher, right, yes, yeah,
forty nine was like all like ever Salvador forty eight.
Speaker 5: So he got forty nine this weekend, like fifty yesterday.
So I guess he's got twenty nine games left at fifty.
Kingrive Junior is all time home run leader for Seattle
in a season at fifty six? Yeah, oh, can he
go on a hot streak? Can he? Can he get bonds?
Speaker 10: He became the eighth player ever to get fifty like
in August, wow, oh wow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's shout out great nickname, cheering fo you dumper.
All right, we'll take our final break, close it out

Do do we all like? Do we all like Clemson's
color scheme orange and.
Speaker 10: The colors themselves or their uniforms.
Speaker 5: Just a color scheme, that's a question. It's a weird
color scheme. Right.
Speaker 10: There are purple, there are some uni combinations like they're
all white with orange uniforms.
Speaker 5: Not bad, No, there's nothing wrong with the unif orange.
Speaker 10: Orange, white, that's fine.
Speaker 5: Orange, that's great. Orange and purple.
Speaker 8: I'm not a fan of orange unis in any aspect.
Speaker 10: Like their slightly better than Tennessee's orange.
Speaker 5: I hate Tennessee's orange.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't even really love for orange.
Speaker 5: Orange can be done right. I don't mind orange. I
mean I like Tennessee's uniforms. I think uniforms.
Speaker 10: The purple does throw me out, Like when they wear
orange heilmet and then all purple.
Speaker 5: That confuses me. That is weird. It's different, though, you know,
you gotta be different. Let's stick out so you like it.
Speaker 11: I'm not saying I like it, but I do like
their uniforms. I'm waffling, all right, go ahead. Next questions to.
Speaker 5: Ask the bench. Will the toss lead make its way
back into the L s U playback?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 5: Please? The one where the quarterback points behind his back.
That was terrible. Which way it's gonna go? Brutal? We
ran a version of that.
Speaker 4: It was like a little bit of a horn boss,
but ours was supposed to hit outside.
Speaker 6: There's hit like he got Ask the.
Speaker 4: Bench, two thousand and six L s U Arizona.
Speaker 5: We scored on it. A couple of times. That was
before they did the point though, and the quarterback would
block backside end. Yeah, ask the bench, did the Clemson
mascot really do math?
Speaker 3: I mean he looks cracked out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so yeah, you heard it here Breaking News.
Speaker 5: Attic asked the bench, is Dabo's pregame run down the
Hill cool or cringe?
Speaker 3: I just think it's funny. I don't think it's cringe.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm the laundry because like they've always done it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so like this is not just him. I think
he actually has fun with it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he's not like real serious about him so
I think because of that, it's kind of like somewhere
in the.
Speaker 8: Middle, he's just so goofy that it's just yeah, it
do like.
Speaker 5: If I think they're saying somebody else did it with
with with Dabo when things are taking out a concept there,
they are cringe, but just because he is a genuine person, like,
and I think it's okay. I don't think it's cool.
Speaker 10: There's some people that try to be corny. I think
Dabo's just that guy, like I think is a pretty
genuine dude.
Speaker 5: Would you little low Clemson? All Right? The last nice
thing y'all can say about Dabo.
Speaker 6: Okay, get your game face on what a y'all doing.
