Speaker 1: All start to what you want to presents. Off the
bench with Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Off the bench with Jacob Hester and Bob aber.
Speaker 2: I gotta come off the bitch.
Speaker 1: Now. Here's Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Yo, what's going on y'all?
Speaker 3: Our number three of O TV is craiging up and
we are live here on Radio Row. Starting to get
a little bit of movement, a little bit of traction
here in the New Orleans Convention Center as shows are
starting to fill out. The McAfee lights are on right
behind us. Jake is shining bright on the Serious XM
stage at the end of the hall.
Speaker 2: Right now, things are starting to move, and I'm not
gonna lie guys.
Speaker 3: You know, coming into this is a little nervous, little
and it's a little bit not knowing what to expect,
but the big event energy is here. It is is palpable.
And to think that this is Monday and that this
will just be an ever increasing ascent into madness, not
decent a scent as you continue to hype this thing
up more and more and more, I feel very blessed
and very grateful to be here.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 3: So a massive thank you to Labert's, a massive thank
you to Guarantee, a massive thank you to all of
y'all out there, wonderful sponsors, and especially to all of
y'all who listen every day, who support the show, who
make this job so much fun. It's definitely feeling a
little bit of reflection out of your boy. Here on
a Monday and we're about to do a week in winter.
I feel like a winner being able to be out
here and do a show with this great setup and
the great team with Kate and Bow and Rivers and
Laundre does everybody making everything happens.
Speaker 2: It's really cool. It's really cool.
Speaker 3: And hopefully I can get some all unit wings at
the Boundary Quicker, Picker, up Er, payper tabbl booth later
in the day.
Speaker 2: That would be the ultimate week in winner.
Speaker 3: All right, Uh, let's go ahead and dive in two
weekend winners.
Speaker 2: That's how win it has done. That's right. We can't
have anyone to freak out out there.
Speaker 4: Okay, he's got a k bark and Poser.
Speaker 2: Got too far. I'm by winning. I win here and
I win there.
Speaker 4: Now, what are you doing what it takes to win
a championship.
Speaker 2: Wow winning, Well, then I guess there's only one thing
left to do. What's that win?
Speaker 5: The whole thing.
Speaker 3: Seaking winner is gonna be a bit of a random
NFL story. Chip Kelly is returning to the NFL, this
time as the Raiders offensive coordinator. And if you're like, well, tea,
but why does this stand out to you? Uh, it's
because I think this is such a massive win for
Chip Kelly in the journey that he's been on for
the last.
Speaker 2: Couple of years.
Speaker 3: Of course, two years ago, Chim Kelly, ucla head coach,
doesn't love what a head coach of being a major
college WELW program actually entails.
Speaker 2: Right, A lot of nil.
Speaker 3: Always gonna be recruiting, but all of a sudden, it's
just as much fundraising. There's very little actual coaching of football.
I mean, Ryan Date talked about this, right, so he
brought Kelly in. All of a sudden, Ryan days just
spending all day on the phone raising money.
Speaker 2: So Kelly was doing that at UCLA. He says, I
want to get.
Speaker 3: Back to coaching, man, So he goes and he takes
a step down to be Ohio State offensive coordinator.
Speaker 2: Now significantly more.
Speaker 3: Coaching, but still you're having a deal with nil, You're
having to deal with recruiting, telling.
Speaker 2: The recruits are gonna be hear all this other sorts
of stuff.
Speaker 3: Well, now he has once again reached the NFL promise
land as if you are somebody who just wants to
coach ball. NFL coordinators at the top of that list,
and Chip, in his twilight years of his career, has
found his way back as a part that Pete Carroll
staff in Las Vegas. I think this is just a
massive win for Chip Kelly never having to hear about
recruiting or nil.
Speaker 2: Ever, again, they didn't have a quarterback, but still good
on Chip Kelly. A lodger, what you got?
Speaker 6: Okay, So I have a weekend loser and this has
nothing to do with sports, so just spare with me here.
To me, the weekend loser is Kanye wife's or Kanye
West's wife at the Grammys, because.
Speaker 7: First of all, what are we doing?
Speaker 2: It's the Grammys.
Speaker 6: Second of all, why do you let this man tell
you to go out naked and you do it? It just
it doesn't make any sense to me. It looks bad
and you everybody's just gonna think that you're an idiot,
so we can loser. I think her name is Bianca,
Kanye West's wife for being naked on the red carpet
of the Grammys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, So for those that haven't seen it, she started,
Kanye and his wife are out there. She's in like
a black fur coat, and Kanye's standing there black everything,
you know, black very playing, black shirt, black jeans, black sunglasses,
looking intense, and then she doffs the coat and a
laundry is.
Speaker 2: Not exaggerating here.
Speaker 3: She is naked, but for I guess, like a completely
see through kind of like like negligent, I don't know,
like kind of like toob top tight tea, I don't know,
a functionally naked on the red carpet on that stage,
absolutely insane and it just all felt very controlling and
manipulative and just really felt bad, like all over.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: I know that giving Kanye's brain that, I'm sure there's
some sort of artistic angle that he would try to
sell you on about fashion something else, a statement is being.
Speaker 2: Made, but it just felt sad.
Speaker 3: I think for most people outside looking in as her
face everything is kind of.
Speaker 2: Gives you the heb gbs a little bit tit. What
about you.
Speaker 7: Weekend winner Kanye West for dominating Twitter.
Speaker 8: Now I'm kidding. The real weekend winner is going to
be a former LSU wide receivers. Team bub You were
asking about the Pro Bowl and if anybody watched the
Pro Bowl games. Well, I'm a loser, so of course
I did. And Malik Neighbors, Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, and
Bryant Thomas eight touchdowns in the seven on seven Pro
Bowl game. It was headlined they all did an interview
after the game talking about LSU being wide receiver. You
huge publicity for LSU. So we can winner all the
former LSU wide receivers and we could touch.
Speaker 3: On it a bit more, but it's it's it's a
big time for that to happen. As for Junior Day,
you're gonna have the number one wide receiver Jabari Mack
on campus here pretty soon.
Speaker 2: But we'll get to that all in a bit.
Speaker 3: My next weekend winner look obviously the Lakers, because what
the hell, how did the Lakers get Luka Doncic while
basically giving up nothing?
Speaker 2: And you can say, oh, they give up a d true,
but you already got.
Speaker 3: A championship, you know, Mickey Mouse Championship. But you got
one out of a d and he's older and he's
still hurt, and now you get a player that Trampson's
even lebron for carrying you into the.
Speaker 2: New era of whatever.
Speaker 3: The Los Angeles Lakers are a shout out to the
first forget Darreon Foxton for nothing as they continued their
own charmed existence. My other weekend winner, Back to college football,
Ryan Grubb and Kaylan de Boor reunited once again. Remember
these are two guys as Sorry. Ryan Grubb's going to
be OC at Alabama, But before this season we talked
a lot about Debor without Grub and how that would work.
They worked together in Eastern Michigan. They worked together at Fresno.
He was Debor's oct at both Fresno and Washington, like
they were like boys. He took a pay cut Debor
did at Washington to keep Grub around. Well, Grub went
to the NFL. He went to Seahawks. Seems like it
went well. They choose to move on. They hired KBAC
Grub back with his boy getting the band back together.
Will this save Alabama's offense? I don't know who's the
quarterback going to be. I don't know, it does not
look great outside looking in, but I think this is
a winner for grub debor and if you're an Alabama
fan to have these two things together again, two guys
are or anything else?
Speaker 6: Guys, Yeah, you mentioned it, but weekend winners the Spurs
for me because Daron Fox is a really big piece
that we're adding to team up with Wimby. And I
mean he's an all star averaging twenty five points per game,
and we just needed like another I mean, he has
Chris Paul, but we just needed like one more piece,
one more little piece, and I think we got it
for Wimby, and I think the Spurs make a playoff
push here in the second half of the NBA season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean CP three, This point's a great facilitator
and you're an incredible leader in winner, but he's not
gonna give you the scoring that.
Speaker 2: The Aaron Fox is. So create a laundru I'm so
happy for you.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, because by the way, we can loser the
Pelicans Jontay Murray tores Achilles, yep, Like what the hell?
Speaker 8: I mean, like what, by the way, I know this
is getting lost in the Luca shuffle. And uh, I
can't believe I'm going to give a team that a
laundred cheers for props.
Speaker 7: This was the trade of the weekend in my opinion.
Speaker 8: So dearon Fox, the fastest, if not one of the
fastest players in the NBA.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you wait, wait, sorry before tete, before
thee gets his explanation, Taylor, I just want to applaud you.
Speaker 2: There's a guy who's been taking for a long time.
Speaker 3: What you just did is a grade a media sports take. Okay,
everybody's talking about Luca, it's all very obvious. And then
you come with the the well, actually, this Fox.
Speaker 2: Deal may be the best.
Speaker 3: Love it from a structural standpoint, Tate, tell me why?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 8: So, okay, Luka Doncic one of the best players in
the NBA, maybe the best.
Speaker 7: We got that.
Speaker 8: We know that Luca's going to be good no matter
where he's at. What the Aaron Fox does for the Spurs.
He's one of the fastest, if not the fastest player
in the NBA. Where does Victor wimbin Yama shine in
the open court? That two man fast break is going
to be excellent for the Spurs. Also, you want to
talk about his speed. He's excellent at driving the lane
and he's going to blow by the first defender. What
does that do you have to put help on him?
What does that do? That frees up winbin Yama, that
gives him space down low as well as the mid
range and beyond. I think this was a perfect perfect
fit for the San Antonio Spurs.
Speaker 7: It really truly is.
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, I guess it is true for
like a fit question.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be interesting seeing Lebron and Luca play together
because they're kind of such similar players.
Speaker 8: Well so, and people will knock me, people will knock
me for this, but it's true. At Lebron's age. This
is the first time in Lebron's career where he's not
the best player on the team.
Speaker 7: How is that going to work?
Speaker 8: Who's who's going to run the show in la Because
while Luca's six to seven, he's pretty much a point guard,
I mean, that's what he played for Dallas. Is Lebron
going to be that number two to Luca's number one?
That'll be interesting to see. Look my last weekend winner,
John Calipari, he went back to Kentucky. They booed him
at the start of the game, and Arkansas has not
had the year they wanted to have. He upset Kentucky
eighty nine to seventy nine, knocking out a top fifteen
team and the team he used to coach. So weekend
winner John Calipari.
Speaker 2: Wait, you didn't know that, Tea, I missed that, Dude,
I missed that. What a win for Califari.
Speaker 3: Good on him, dude, avomars Wanni we cand loserr ad
he thought he was the future in LA.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, not so fast, ad U.
Speaker 3: Weekend winner Carteri Hagy hat trick against the Islanders complete
had three game home sand sweep. Okay, shout out Brandoon
Florida Panthers. Hell yeah, Bilbo, thank you for the Panthers
jersey back in the day. And then Alvo and others
talking about the royal rumble in WWE, seems like it
went great.
Speaker 2: Good on you.
Speaker 3: I always like when the people that love the wrestling
when the wrestling is good, because I have Internet brain rot.
I think the only highlight I saw was Speed getting
speared like really actually a really brutal hit, really good sell.
But that's all that's all I saw, So I'm happy
that it was great for y'all.
Speaker 2: I think that's going to be it for me. Anything
else from you guys, Nope, that's it. Nope, that's it.
All right.
Speaker 3: When we get back, let's talk to our guy dem

Speaker 3: Shout out La Bear's Casino Toel Bend Rouge. Having us
here and live on Radio Row at the super Bowl
really fantastic.
Speaker 2: Out of here.
Speaker 3: Everything's starting to come alive and right now it is
my pleasure to be talking about one of New Orleans
main men, and hopefully Guy will have up here on
Radio Road this week.
Speaker 2: It's a point and that is our guy.
Speaker 3: Dem snow aka hold the Mayo dev what's up brother yo?
Speaker 5: What's up?
Speaker 3: Doing great? Man doing great? Can't wait to get eyes
on this. It's pretty insane. The only time I've ever
been in the New Orleans Convention Center. Really is well
there's a mushroom trip one time when I took a
stroll through here. But besides that, it would have been
and that would have also actually been a comic con.
Comic Con is the only time I ever hed, So
I'm used to being in this room when there's a
lot of anime, a lot of sexy body pillows, a
lot of people who are uniting under a common interest.
And you know, how different is this really. I'm looking
around the room. It's just a bunch of NFL nerds.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, okay, there may not be the anime,
but it has like a super NFL comic con sort
of field.
Speaker 2: Dude, it's wild.
Speaker 5: Yeah. But by the way, when is comic Con? Because
I saw this year they got Michael J. Fox Comic Con.
Speaker 3: I think it already happened in the New Orleans Wizard.
I think it happened in January.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, I know, I know.
Speaker 3: I wanted to work it and then I ended up
missing it. I haven't able to go.
Speaker 5: How didn't we promote that Michael J. Fox was in town?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know, and I could be wrong.
Speaker 3: Maybe Wizdary world S put up Maybe there's another one,
but yeah, I think I think we missed it.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: I know, I know legend visiting the city, but there's
gonna be plenty of legends here this week. But before
we get into everything New Orleans for the Super Bowl? Uh,
how was how was the Royal Rumble? As our resident
wrestling correspondent, what do we think?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I watched it. I watched it actually yesterday because
I went out the night before, so I watched it yesterday. Dude,
I gotta be honest, it was pretty good. I don't
necessarily agree with who won the Royal Rumble because it
came down to Sena in Jayushow. And I'll just give
you my take on JU show right now. They it's
another guy that Rextlan shoves down your throat. And I'm
not trying to be disrespectful about it, but I mean,
the guy, he's not great, you know what I'm saying.
Like his whole thing is the entrance. The entrance is
all right, it's not even amazing. It's an alright entrance
where he does the yeat thing the whole time, and
they you know what.
Speaker 3: Everybody's raising their hands like up and down, like LSU
came up with a third downstop.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, but it doesn't take a genius to look
at the arena and see there's only twenty five percent
of the arena doing the youat thing. Which that's a problem,
you know what I'm saying. When Stone Cold Sticky Boston
came out, everybody was up, everybody, but they that's what
they want. They want twenty five percent and then new
of the other seventy five percent your throat. But no,
it was a look the Kevin Owens versus Cody Roads.
I'm not even a Cody Roads fan. I thought it
was an amazing match. Yeah, thought that was the best
part at night. And it looks good. I gotta give
ww cuddit. Their production is, man, it's just the best
it's ever been, you know, like the camera angles and
all that stuff. It's just it's so is that on are.
Speaker 2: The pay per views on Netflix as well? Now?
Speaker 5: No, it's still on some side, which is that they
must have sudden side the contract where they got to
wait for it to run out. Yeah, you know, I
don't know.
Speaker 2: But that's good though, looks good.
Speaker 3: Like I said, I'm always happy for my like big
wrestling friends. When the wrestling is good and overall, even
with the u SO win, the wrestling was good yesterday.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I thought it was. And then you know,
keep in mind, I remember going to the World Rumble
in two thousand and one. I had dagged my mom
to buy kicking to this thing. We sat in a nosebleeve, dude.
Literally my hand could touch the top of the arena.
That's how high in Stonecold Steve Austin won the Royal Room.
It's arguably one of the greatest World Rumbles ever, And
so anytime the Royal rum was coming on, I'm like,
I gotta watch it, man, just because that history of
just you know, always loving the World Rumble.
Speaker 3: Dev So what's going on in us Spread Quarters this week?
Obviously we're trying to get you out here for a
day of radio road at some point, but I mean,
you are and I don't This is not an exaggeration,
Like you have made yourself into one of the faces
of the city, and the city this week is front
and center on display.
Speaker 2: What's going on in Spread Quarters? How are we feel
about the Super Bowl being here in New Orleans for
an eleventh time?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I love it. Like just waking up
this morning you can just feel that something's different. To
be honest with you, man, it's not like PEPSI hit
me up, you know, or like any of these big
companies anything like that. But yeah, it's up to me
to be a go around do stuff. I mean, I'm
looking at Tenny Vents right now. Uh, Post Malone's got
the fillmore. They got the NFL experience. Of course they
got max I don't even know Maxim was still Maxim.
Speaker 2: Wait, like Maxim magazine.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they got a super Bowl party on February eight,
the four Son.
Speaker 3: You know, there's about to be a lot of cleavage
at that super Bowl party. That's gonna be this, That's
gonna be the super Bowl of cleavage.
Speaker 2: Dude, Maxim and FHM.
Speaker 3: I used to hide Maxim and XHM magazines in this
like downstairs dumpster that I don't think my parents even
knew existed.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, it was like you had Playboy. But like
if you couldn't get your hands on Playboy, it was hard, man.
You had to settle for Maxim.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know exactly. Playboy was a gold standard.
But I mean, if you want to get really nasty,
maybe it was like you get into some greasy hustlers,
their penthouse hustled. But but like you said, hard to
get your hands off. There's always a floating around somewhere.
Speaker 5: Dude, there was, and I could see the visual right now.
And they used to have the cigarettes and everything behind
the counter. And then you see like the playboys walked
off back to the cigarette. Yeah you know, which way
do you want to kill yourself?
Speaker 3: A website? Now, I'm still very confused about that. Shout
up to him.
Speaker 2: Man still able to throw super Bowl parties. I guess
the brand is strong.
Speaker 5: We think they might have an alf or something. You know,
I'll look into it. Guy Fiery Fleet of Town. I'm
gonna have to go to that, I tell y'all. Yeah,
that'll be noon the five on Super Bowl Day. You
got Shaq Ludacris. I mean, Mike Dicker was supposed to
come down here, but he canceled last second. I was
gonna go to the cigar party.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think he's I think he has Parkinson's or something.
Speaker 3: Well actually, sorry, sorry, that's not true. I don't want
to diagnose Mike dicat. I think he's going through some
I think he's going through some health issues. I don't
think it's actually parsing, But I don't know. You should
go to the cigar party though Thursday, Dev I think
I'm tagging along as the Cannons plus one.
Speaker 5: Wait, you're talking about this cigar party. I was just saying, yeah.
Speaker 2: On Thursday, So have you got the invite come home?
Speaker 5: They took well, oh jeeuz, Yeah.
Speaker 3: I didn't get the I didn't get the invite either, dude.
I uh, Like I said, I'm tagging along as the
old Man's plus one. Just gonna go ride the coattails
and go try to hear some old war stories from
the homies.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I think they plugged in Brian Urlacher Predica, which is.
Speaker 3: A good plug, great pluggin, almost as good as Irlacker's
hair plugs.
Speaker 2: Does I don't know. Does he still have hair? Actually,
I'm not sure about that. I haven't seen.
Speaker 5: I don't think he does.
Speaker 3: Was there ever a more disconcerting site than when that
one random Sunday Brian Urlacker showed up on the pregame
show and he just had a full head of hair?
It is I mean, yeah, Drew Brees did what he did,
but it's not even close to the to the cognitive
dissonance that Brian Rlacker's hair created in me absolutely, I'll never.
Speaker 5: Again man sets readie brush streaming down the sideline against
the bad M Championship point Brian or Lacker right in
his soul as a rookie. We lost, but I mean
it was a great.
Speaker 3: Moment watching like all the highlights of the Super Bowl
and Tracy Porter, you know, the kick to send him
to the super Bowl when like Reggie Bush is on
the sideline prey and it's just like, man, you want
to talk about something that just really drove home starkly
how far the Saints have fallen. All those old highlight
packages just ended up depressing me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I mean, and then obviously since we last
talked the Callen Moore things, he's not which can't wait
to see what happens man, because it kind of feels
like he may go his own ride with a quarterback.
But I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
But it kind of feels like that.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a weird thing. Dude.
Speaker 3: Jake had somebody tell him of the Senior Bowl that
he thinks the Saint job is the worst job to
open up in ten years because there's no quarterback like
there's no quarterback. Uh, there's not a great roster. The
CAP's awful, and you don't trust the front office. It's
got a lot of bad elements.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you'd be better off getting a job at Party
City Seasonal.
Speaker 3: We at least you know, at least you know you're
going to be employed during portions of the fall if
nothing else, Hey, what what are we doing for RB
and R Day today?
Speaker 2: Do we know yet? It's a big, one, big day, dude.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going. Look, I'm going where the energy is,
and the energy is like around y'all's area. Yeah, you
know what I'm saying, right, that's that's where I'm going.
If I got to do a place that I'm maybe
done like two hundred Mondays ago. Like that's cool too,
And what I'm saying, nobody remembers anything. That's another thing
I learned, Like, Bro, I get comments every single Monday,
Hey go here, Hey go here. I went there over
about one hundred and fifty Mondays ago. But I mean, yeah,
I'll do it again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I know that goes. It's like you see
you're talk on the radio. You think everybody hears everything
you're saying, and like, no, people.
Speaker 2: Listen for five minutes, The listen for five minutes, and
they go on about their day.
Speaker 5: Man, one of the best things you can remember is
that nobody listens.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Like, if you could just remember that, man, you could
blow people's mind every day with the stock just like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because only the but like and only the most hardcore,
only the realist, only the realist would know in one day,
a lot of just in one day, Team, I put
David cern in hell and diagnosed Mike Dicob with Parkinson's. Okay, true,
you're right. I did do both those things, and I apologize. Okay,
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I think I was I think
I was wrong on both.
Speaker 2: What is this chat is saying that Party City just
closed down and filed for bankruptcy. Oh okay, I hope
that's not true.
Speaker 6: That's old news.
Speaker 5: That's old that's definitely that's that happens every year around
the time because there's not really a big season, you know,
for them to sell anything. So it feels like that
And and once Halloween comes around again, trust him, girl, Paul,
he said he'll be bad.
Speaker 3: Uh what was it? Barrett evaluated forty six mid market shows.
Not only did TV rank seven out of the forty six,
but they got one first place vote.
Speaker 2: Let's go, dude, one first place vote. Let's freaking go dude.
Speaker 3: All right, dev so so so okay, we talked about
the Saints.
Speaker 2: Can you believe the Luka Dancts trade? Yeah?
Speaker 5: I couldn't. I was up so when I was drunk,
which was made it even more amazing.
Speaker 2: Even more surreal, Like is this real? Am? I hammered, Dude,
I had.
Speaker 5: I had my knagh Bovie and we were just hanging out,
probably like twelve thirty at night, and uh, it came
like he casually said it. He was like, and my
cousin just texted me that Luca just went to the
league is And I was like, you know, your cousin's
an idiot. How about that your cousin's an idiot? And
I pulled up Twitter and dude, I just could not
believe it.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 5: It was one of those things you like, I can't
believe it. For an hour straight, you just kept saying it.
Speaker 3: I mean, to be fair to you, your boy's cousin
is generally, in life, one of the least reliable sources
recording an information. So your skepticism combined with the extreme
nature of the trade I believe is very well warranted.
Speaker 5: Uh and then is this a first cousin or is
this you know?
Speaker 3: I also love too that It's like it comes at
a time when de Jontay Murray tears his achilles. Look,
the Pelicans are just absolutely cursed. He tears his achilles,
and then here the Mavericks are willing to move on.
It's dumb as hell, but they're willing to do this
Luca move and the Pelicans still have bi and still
have Zion.
Speaker 2: It's, I mean, bro.
Speaker 5: Weird, cursepetive of how dumb it really seems when you
look at it. I mean, is twenty five years old,
He's all NBA for several years, five.
Speaker 2: Years in a row or maybe not in a row
of five years.
Speaker 5: Dude, it just doesn't look smart, you know what I'm saying. Now,
I will say this, and I don't defend this guy
a lot. Anthony Davis playing maybe his best basketball since
he's been a Laker. Sure, you know, he's really playing good.
So I feel like the Mavericks are gonna win short term.
And then obviously the Lakers get a twenty five year
old generational superstar. So you know. But anyway, Yeah, I
think you're right, man, Like, do we not? When we
make a trade, It's not going to be a blockbuster
to trade. It's gonna be like, Okay, we traded brandon
Ingram for a bag of cheese. It's and some trading.
You know, that's just what it's gonna be, just to
get the money off the books. Javonte Green somebody like that.
You know. But I watched that Pels game the other night, man,
and you know it's it's classic.
Speaker 2: Pels games Boston. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, thirty minutes for the game, you get the routine
news zying on out with the Smith, which was you know,
I'm never I'm never shocked by it, but this time
I kind of was because he had just played a
few days before, and then the day before it snowed
in New Orleans. He was out with the Sniffles, so
it's like he had the Sniffles, he beat the Sniffles,
and now he now the Sniffles were back, so he's
got like Zion don't have the flu, he has influenza.
It's longer, longer word, longer time six.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, dude, I was funny. I was watching
Zion the other day.
Speaker 3: He see the clip where he was pretty emphatic about
how like I work for the Pelicans and they wanted
me to let me play back to back, so I'm
rocking with the Pelican.
Speaker 2: Bub blah or whatever. I was just like, oh, man,
he looks great.
Speaker 5: He looks he looks great. He sounded psychotics, sounded like
he'd been sitting in his room for thirty one days.
Speaker 2: We's influenza. What's he supposed to do? He's got a
little bit of cabin fever.
Speaker 5: Dude. I just thought he sounded crazy in a way.

Speaker 1: Yeah off the Bench with Hester and t Bob Live
from Super Bowl fifty nine. Radio Row in New Orleans,
presented by low Veris Casino Hotel. Baton Rouge was.
Speaker 4: Heading y'all, Welcome back, oh TV, the seventh ranked market
liquor Murty spurts Dark show in the dark Country. Not
to brag, Radio Row see a lot of all out there,
who knows. Yeah, welcome back guys, last twenty minutes here,
it's been a heck of a morning. Shout out to
Laber's Casino Hotel, Beton Rouge for sending us to Mobile
now send us here. What a fun two weeks, What an.
Speaker 3: Interesting two weeks, kind of evolving up the ladder two
you know, Mobile Convincenter last week now the New Orleans
Vincent this week.
Speaker 2: Starting to pick up.
Speaker 3: Like I said, I can't fathom the fever pitch that
this thing is going to reach by Friday, and I'm
just like incredibly incredibly excited for it. Let's get us
some local news though here before you get to tay
Day's infel Story of the day day, real quick bit
of a do I know how to do radio?
Speaker 2: I don't know a bit of recruiting news.
Speaker 3: As for junior day, the number one safety in twenty
twenty six is set to visit LSU.
Speaker 2: That's blame Bradford.
Speaker 3: Of course, I'm sure that Matt talks about this in
the afternoon because where to blame?
Speaker 2: Where does blame? Bradford? Go to school? Calliah? Yeah, there
you go. Okay.
Speaker 3: Number one safety for the twenty twenty six class obviously
continues to be a position of imports for LSUE right now.
I mean, look at the finalists here, his finalists, LSU,
Notre Dame, Oregon, Alabama, Ohio State, and he's gone on
visits to all of these schools. Just rerapped up a
multi day visit to Oregon. Here's what I'd say about LSU. Quote,
I am super interested in LSU. They are the hometown team.
They have a program that is built up at twenty five.
Class coming in is grade two the real potential. I've
been there so many times. It's so consistent. The Stablan's
best of their players. Their legacy is strong, bunch of fluff,
you know, munch, kind of fluffy, empty words.
Speaker 2: We'll see.
Speaker 3: One thing that I'm gonna be kind of fascinated to
see is in the age of nil, how do these
guys feel about staying home or does it change? Because
already staying home is a weird thing where some people
want to stay home all the ways from the beginning,
so they do, but others want to get out of
where they grew up and go see other things. So
it could always work either way. But like now that
you can just pay them, how much does that still matter?
Only time will tell. But he's not gonna be the
only one on campus. Junior day, we'll have Jabari Matt
the number one receiving Louisiana. We'll have Richard Anderson, the
number two defensive linemen in the United States, the EDNA
Car four star, number three project Louisiana already committed to LSU.
How about this year how about this Richard Anderson leading
at the car to a state championship last year forty
four tackles, fifteen tickles, ten sacks, eighteen hurries, two picks,
and one to big time. And speaking of Edna Carr,
you also got Aiden Hall, who himself is a top
five safety in the country at NAKAR four star, also
committed to LSU and has maybe the craziest stuffed stat
line that I have ever seen. Aidenhall last year had
thirty eight thirty eight tackles, twelve tipples, four secs, four picks,
eleven pass breakups, four blocked punts, and two fumble recoveries.
So big recruiting weekend coming up for the Tigers. Right now,
let's do a little Tada NFL Story of the Day Days.
Speaker 1: It's time for Tata's NFL Story of the Day day,
your daily dose of NFL news from Taylor Sharp.
Speaker 7: All right, you got a little two for for you today.
Speaker 8: And the first one t Bob mentioned Chip Kelly going
back to the NFL. We have another coach returning to
the NFL.
Speaker 7: That's Eric Bienamy.
Speaker 8: He'll be on the sidelines for the twenty twenty five season.
He is joining Ben Johnson's staff with the Chicago Bears
as the team's running backs coach. Look, we know the
enemy spent the twenty twenty four season as the assistant
coach and offensive coordinator for UCLA. Didn't go well one
hundred and seventeenth in yards per game, one hundred and
twenty sixth in the nation in points per game. But look,
this is a guy who was on staff with Andy
Reid for two different Super Bowl runs. He knows what
it takes to win a championship. That is big for
a young coach like Ben Johnson and Te Bob. I
threw this one in here for you. I know that
you are our resident Arch Manning lover on the show.
So Arch Manning, he better watch out. He might not
be the best quarterback prospect in his own family. At
the Pro Bowl Games. Marshall Manning, Peyton Manning's thirteen year
old son, got to go out there on the field
and if you're watching on YouTube, you can see the
video right now dropping absolute dimes two NFL stars. You
see him throw a fade in the back of the
end zone right there to Jamar Chase.
Speaker 7: He threw two different touchdown passes. Kid looks like the
real deal only thirteen years old.
Speaker 8: So Marshall Manning, who knows, maybe he'll be on three's
first ever six star recruit.
Speaker 3: I mean yes, the Internet, all the recruiting sites are
already looking at Marshall like a soy farmer looks at
a fertile field that's freshly flooded. I actually don't know
if that's what soy farmers look for. The point is, yeah,
Marshall Manning will be an economy unto himself when he
comes around. As far as the enemy goes Man, it's
so crazy. Man, I was a big b enemy believer,
but turns out it's Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: I guess it's the same reason why we were so
hesitant on Aaron Nagy when he came up, potentially in
some Saints talk SERTs, because wait, what do we talk about.
It's it's Pat Mahomes, It'dany Reid, It's not anybody else
in terms of I mean, I get it's a team
and everything, but in terms of being like the reason why.
Speaker 2: All right, good job day tay.
Speaker 3: When we get back here on OTV, let's get a
little ask to the bench. In wrapping up day one

What is your favorite Super Bowl game ever? So outside
of outside of the Saints winning which you know being
in college for was such a cool moment, very very crazy,
very like never thought it would happen. But you have
a rooting interest. There favorite super bowls in which there
was no root interest. I mean, for me, spoiled, spoil
kid's story incoming. I got to go to that Super
Bowl in Atlanta around two thousand, whenever it was. I
was at the Titans Ram super Bowl where it came
down to Kevin Dyson being tackled on the half yard
line reaching out for a ring for a trophy and
getting stopped just short as time expired. No ring for
Steve and it was just an unbelievable game to see.
And I actually got on TV and a Peyton manning
Colt Jersey on that I was seeing by Rams fans.
They made me an adopted's Rams and they give me
a giant Rams top hat. And when Isaac Bruce scored
the go out the touchdown, we were celebrating so hard
that we got on TV.
Speaker 2: So it was crazy, very very fun memory growing up.
Speaker 3: Asked the bench we all fight number six Nashville to
see who gets to keep the one oh four five
Oh they won't absolutely dude, ramone Kayla and Will.
Speaker 2: That's their name.
Speaker 3: They're just TMU, Murphy, Sam and Jody. If you ramone
Kayla and Will. Ask the bench hurricane or hand grenade
when you're walking down Bourbon ideally neither, but absolutely hurricane
if you're doing one of them, right, I mean, if
you're drinking hand grenades, it better be you're eighteen or
twenty one, or it's like your first time down there.
I don't know about hand grenades in any other context.
Speaker 2: Ask the bench.
Speaker 3: If you had to get rid of Alandra or Taylor
to move up to number five, who would you get
rid of?
Speaker 2: This is easy.
Speaker 3: I'd get rid of myself. I would fall on the
sword to keep the team together, because that's how much
I love a laundry and Taylor.
Speaker 2: Ask the bench.
Speaker 3: If you could wrestle one player you played against in
your career, who would it be and why? I would
wrestle Aaron Murray so I could prove physical dominance over
and Plus he's got a pretty hot bod.
Speaker 2: And I'd love to see the little QB one telling about.
Speaker 3: When it start to work them out, it'll be you know,
I'm saying, mane, hey, guys, I do want to remind
you that we are brought to you and very pleased
to be newly partner with our friends at Boudro's Electrical. Okay,

sure the light stays on, your family safe, everything in
your home, your fridge, freezer, all protected. Buujo's Election has

Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 3: That's right, started all the back in nineteen eighty two
and it has a mained a family business all the
way through, a customer based family business where the customer
comes first and foremost, and that's how every single decision
is made. Now, remember, guys, when you're talking about a
lot of these generator companies, they've been snatched up by
a lot of private equity.
Speaker 2: To most of these companies, you're just a number on
a spreadsheet. They're not a name.
Speaker 3: Not the case with Boujo's Electrical, where they make sure
that your systems they say on top, make sure your
systems are good to go when you need.
Speaker 2: Them, heal.

down trees to get to generators that needed service. That's
the service that you get from Boujo's Electrical to Boodos
Electrical dot Com. All right, ask the bench, Is that
