Bench woy from the Raisin Kine Studio. Flynn Laundry, Take
Take Kine newborn little baby Kane.
Speaker 4: Someone asked me if the baby Cane was going to
be the new punch.
Speaker 2: Oh, because it's like the legs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, wait, do you know about punch the monkey?
Speaker 2: No, look at this little leg Wait you don't.
Speaker 4: Know about punch the monkey. No, you haven't seen this
little baby monkey that the entire world is obsessed with.
No pull up punch right out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my computer literally as you said that.
Speaker 4: No way, it crashed.
Speaker 5: Twenty five percent complete thirty it's like restarting on its own.
Speaker 2: A little baby cane. Then, like she's able get in
the second inverted shoulder thing. It's it's going quick, but
we'll see.
Speaker 5: I'll pull up punch when this uh maybe put a
little cast on her. Yeah, well okay, so like it's
baby Cane blind.
Speaker 4: Oh, it's just cool.
Speaker 2: It's just cool. Yeah, she's just got swag. I mean,
I just we're indoors. She's got swag. Lights are bright
by the check, but it didn't the glasses don't really
cover her eyes.
Speaker 4: I can't believe. I don't know about Punch the Monkey.
So Punch the Monkey is a little tiny baby monkey
out in Japan. He was abandoned by his mom at
birth and then so the zookeepers took him in and
gave him a orangutan stuffy when he was a baby,
and now I guess he's bonded to it, thinking that
it's his mom and this little he is so adorable.
He carries the little monkey around everywhere and he's this
tiny little monkey. They put him in the enclosure with
the rest of the colony, and at first they were
kind of shunning him, Like the other monkeys were not
messing with Punch, and they're kind of bullying him, and
he would run and like just cuddle with his stuffy
when he was getting bullied and like, but now he's
starting to make some friends in the colony. And there
was a video of him the other day where he
was like walking on his two feet, his little belly
out and dragging the stuffy with him. It was so cute.
Speaker 2: So I just typed punched the monkey into Google and
the search results Google has now has like these hearts
that fall down on the screen with punch the monkey's
face on it.
Speaker 4: He's so cute, is he not?
Speaker 2: He's very cute.
Speaker 4: Doesn't that break your heart? Though? That they weren't. They
weren't accepting him at.
Speaker 2: First, you know, not seeing that rabbit head. I think
he's kind of hardened.
Speaker 4: They were like straight up bullying him, like one of
them grabbed him and dragged him around.
Speaker 2: Yep, I do, sad.
Speaker 4: I was getting very emotional over this stupid little monkey.
Speaker 2: It was a big topic. So that's one on the
Google search page.
Speaker 4: I'm not particularly like a soft person, but this, well, no,
you said that, Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The animals
get me.
Speaker 2: That you can heart something on a Google search. I
didn't know that.
Speaker 4: I didn't know you could do that.
Speaker 2: There's that those news to me. There's eleven point seven
million hearts now eleven point seven one million hearts and
Google searches.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, the hearts just pumped up online.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so cute. Jealous, good for you. Punch. Yeah, sorry,
is his name punch because he got punched?
Speaker 4: No, it's like something in Japanese.
Speaker 2: It's like a Launder's cat kick.
Speaker 4: I did not kick that cat.
Speaker 2: Cat kick is his name kick for a completely different reason.
Speaker 4: Anyways, I'm not actually going to New York this week,
and I'm going to Japan and I'm adopting Punch the monkey,
and I'm bringing him back and he's going to be
our studio monkey.
Speaker 2: That would be sick.
Speaker 4: Taylor gets to retire.
Speaker 2: You can just just go to Japan and still a
stuffed animal.
Speaker 4: No, why would I do that. It's like the one thing.
Speaker 2: He loves for the clicks.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 2: He is a man of the people. Smash the like button.
Speaker 4: Sorry to have to talk about Punch, but I had
to inform you on him because I can't believe you
don't know him.
Speaker 2: Noldro is like, you're in a good mood, let me
change your mind. No, he's no, it's a good sounds
like it's a feel good story.
Speaker 4: Well at first it wasn't, and now it's starting. At
first it wasn't, but he's starting to adapt. But then
they were saying the zoo was saying that Punch just
wasn't he didn't know about like the social the social
norms and cues of the rest of the monkeys, right right,
So he was like low key offending the rest of
the monkeys and he didn't know he.
Speaker 2: Was, Well, it's going to be a feel good story.
You can't have a fully complex story and a protagonist
if he doesn't have some sort of pitfall that he's
got to fight his way through. Yeah, so you have
to have some negative in your life to understand that
the positive is how good it really is, for sure.
Speaker 4: But it broke my heart.
Speaker 5: Like my thought was again, not Punch his fault, probably
the mother.
Speaker 4: My thought was like dead beat mothers.
Speaker 5: Is he getting beat up because he carries the stuff
that I'm all around? Which is which sucks for him
because that's a COVID mechanism. But they Yeah, kid, monkeys
are still kids, and kids could be me.
Speaker 4: He does look like he's a little adhd.
Speaker 2: Gee. There you go. We'll find it out more and more.
Speaker 5: What if we find out like awful things about Punch,
like Punch is the instigator. Yeah, just when the cameras
come on when he plays victim.
Speaker 2: He likes to fling his poop at other monkeys.
Speaker 4: He would never.
Speaker 2: He had been taught that by the stuffed animals, so
he probably wouldn't.
Speaker 4: They tried to replace the stuffed animal because it was
all beat up and dirty, and he didn't want a
new one.
Speaker 2: Of course, not that's not his mother. Well, y'all are
funny chat anyway, Punch. You think Punch has ever been swimming?
Speaker 4: I don't know. It was raining at the zoo the
other day and he was like trying to find shelter.
Was so cute.
Speaker 2: Oh, my serious question. Don't judge me. Monkeys swim?
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, imagine it's never seen one actually swim.
Speaker 2: I'll watch a lot of animal documentaries, you do. I'll
watch a lot you do. And there's a lot meaner
things in the animal kingdom than this Punch story, for sure.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, your cat put a skinned bunny face on.
Speaker 5: Your That was a nice gesture. I think it was
just the delivery was off a little bit. Yeah, shock
value was too high. It meant well, yeah, he's look,
I made this for you.
Speaker 4: What were we going to talk about?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry I was going to say that I don't
know if they service Japan or not. But if he
was going to swim, he should swim into Russell Pools
for sure. Russell Pools dot Com because the best pool
company in Louisiana, and it's not particularly close. They are
the best, you know what, because they build the best pools.
They have the best landscape architects, they have the best
landscape team, they have the best engineering. They do it
all and they do it the best. So if you're
gonna do it, we like to work with the best
here at off the bench and that is Russell Pools,
Russell Pools dot com. We are about to get our
projects started. Can't wait. So if you've been thinking about it,
if you've ben't wanting to pool, been thinking about maybe
pulling the trigger, you're tired of, you know, having to
take the kids over to your brother's house, cousin's house,
friend's house. Whatever it is. May be the house that
everybody comes to, every be the house that everybody congress to.
Just the oning you'd be grilling. You'd be chilling by
the pool, the kids, the family all doing cannonballs, jackknives,
can openers, maybe sitting in a hot tub. Whatever it is, man,
they can build it. And like I said, two landscape
architects right there on staff. So if you like anything
you can dream of, you go to Instagram, go to pictures, like,
look at pictures, look at stuff you just like, look
at elements. Maybe it's like one element from one hundred
different pictures. Well they can put that all together in
a beautiful pool, all by your design right there. So
go check them out Russell Pools dot com. You said,
what were you going to talk about? I have no idea.
Speaker 4: Were we still talking about the coaching? Oh no, no,
that's that's Oh, the Saints won an award.
Speaker 2: Saints won a very prestigious award. I mean like into
the Super Bowl. This is probably the most.
Speaker 4: War Wait, real quick, like Saints news that we should
have mentioned earlier, but I just forgot. Will Clapp announced
he's retiring to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so let's talk about it. Yeah, I did have
that to do that, and we'll come back. We'll do
that here and then we'll come back. We're going to
tease this huge prestigious award. It's it's a big deal
and like making limits finally getting his flowers underrated for
decades feels like, but yes, we do have to pull
one out for mister Will clap he is. He sent
out a social media it's around the foss for him.
Will class absolutely uh he I don't know. Social media
posted last night that he is announcing his retirement. So all,
especially from former Tigers Louisiana folks, we always want to
tip our caps and what are you laughing at, Taylors?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 4: Sorry, no, sorry, wow, I should have turned my mic off.
His computer just came on as.
Speaker 2: Former brother Martin Crusader, former LSU Tiger, and of course
New Orleans Saint Will Clapp is hanging up the cleats
and announce his retirement last night on social media. Four
star recruit twenty fourteen three year starter at LSU all
sec at guard and center, seventh round pick to the Saints.
Spent the first four seasons in New Orleans, spent some
time with the Chargers I think twenty twenty four with
the Bills, and decided to come on back to the
Saints in twenty twenty five. Of course, his homecoming didn't
go great. He got a list Frank injury in the preseason,
didn't get to play his final year, but he came.
He was with Kellen Moore with the Chargers, had a
great relationship with him and they, I think the Saints
this year it was they kind of embraced him in
a leadership role around the team. So let's not be
shocked if he stays in the football realm, stays in
some sort of potential staff coaching, some sort of role
potentially with the Saints. I think he would be a
great fit for that. And uh, certainly one we'd like
to tip our cap to, like I said, by the
Martin LSU to the Saints, Louisiana, through and through it there.
So congratulations on a fantastic career. And here's the other side,
shout out. Yeah, gress isn't always greener, but it's pretty
good on the other side. Yeah, it's good on both sides.
Actually not bad. So shut out. Guy.
Speaker 5: You deal with a lot of injury you see recently.
I mean, look, I hated to see it, but you
could also kind of see it coming red. I mean,
what was it two of the last three year season
ding injury. I mean you mentioned the Liz Fronc Like,
it's such a tough injury to come back on, especially
it's a big guy, like it's an old lineman. You're
putting all that weight on that foot, it makes sense.
It was time for him.
Speaker 2: You did say it classier than me, I said, Liz Frank,
you said, Liz Frank. I mean, I'm trying to look
it up right now because we've talked about this a
couple of times and I just can't remember it. Liz Frunk.
Does anybody scream high class more than me? No? No, huh.
Someone in the chat earlier did say, why aren't you
wearing a shirt today? Okay, first off, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
we're not We're not about to do this people.
Speaker 5: Look, no, I am because I got burned over the weekend.
Speaker 2: Look I'm not. Look if you think that this is
the same color as this, when did you.
Speaker 5: Get a Nike check tattoo? And right right, I really
can't have this tattooed here the Nike on the other
side there forever. If you think that the arm is
the same color as the shirt, you can't be helped.
Speaker 2: You can't just can't help. You can't, Liz Frank. Just say,
Liz Frank, dude, we're in America.
Speaker 4: He's like, let me fancy your m church this up.
Speaker 2: A little bit.
Speaker 5: In fairness, I'm not even a hundred percent sure which
one of us is, right?
Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's Frank. I bet just Frank.

described injuries to the midfoot joint complex in eighteen fifteen,
specifically identifying amputations performed through the tarso meta tarsal joint
due to injuries sustained by soldiers falling from horses.
Speaker 4: Liz Frank is Lis Frank.
Speaker 5: Wow, Liz Frank sounds to me like a h Ai
lady over there needs to get some culture in her life.
Speaker 2: Ask her how it sounds of you're in old frenchy land.
Speaker 4: Okay, this is the American pronunciation.
Speaker 2: Because we're in America.

The song just hits a different days.

my house and I ultimately tied them up, because well,
that's what you would do. This is the song I
would play. Yeah, while they're tied up, while you're messing
with them.
Speaker 2: This is the one.
Speaker 5: It gets you going, man, like a straight cat plays
with a squirrel right when a laundre is kicking her
cat like this.
Speaker 4: Is I'm not kicking cats. Also not mine.
Speaker 2: It is now when one of the dominant monkeys is punching,
punch in the.
Speaker 5: Face, even this is this is the one. This is
the one swinging the stuffed animal bag and Andre, do
you gotta give you the flowers? I just had somebody
text me randomly and say, hey, whoever plays the music
for you all kills it every day?
Speaker 4: Thank you shut out whoever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure it might get some segments taken down from
YouTube every now and then.
Speaker 4: But who cares?
Speaker 2: Just reload it.
Speaker 4: I I feel like, okay, it's not an important part
of the show. But I do like to set a vibe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's a very important part of the show.
Speaker 4: I think y'all are the only.
Speaker 2: Ones only it's bad vibes. You can't speak, no, barely
speak with the good ones.
Speaker 4: Right, you're killing it.
Speaker 2: I we tease this, We've talked about it, and we
just need to tell the people out there, Saints fans,
how amazing your general manager is the goat. Some say, currently,
if you were making a top ten general manager's list, oh,
he's top five, top five and not five. Yep, currently
he's one. This is not according to me, This is
according to inside the league. Il yeah, who I looked
it up Inside the league has I mean, this is
this is a big deal. They have fourteen point two
thousand followers on social media.
Speaker 4: That's legit.
Speaker 2: Yep, it's almost fifteen thousand. Some quick math, Yeah, very quick.
And of course NFL combines happening to everybody's joined together,
all gms, all head coaches, all scouts, everybody under one roof, mingling, socializing.
Well Saints. We're giving an award yesterday from Inside the
League best Draft Class twenty twenty five. And what's the
general manager's main job drafting. So if you're the best
draft class, I mean, you're the best general manager currently. Yeah,
hard to argue. Hard to argue that.
Speaker 4: Go ahead and smack that gum. What did he say
at the Senior Bowl? They let y'all out of Baton Rouge.
Speaker 2: They'll let y'all out of Baton Rouge.
Speaker 4: Get out of here, go scout some players.
Speaker 2: Yeah, go get the best draft class. Two years in
a row. It's been done. Actually it was done in
twenty seventeen. The Saints won it this sword, so they've
won it twice in the last decade.
Speaker 4: Summer, say, Mickey Loomis might be the most important general
manager in the league.
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean him. He's saying that. Yeah, Jerry's not
saying that. Jerry's not saying that. No, So yeah, they win.
So look, we're kind of we're joking, of course a
little bit about this, but you do have to give
credit where credit is due, and they did have one
hell of the draft class. All right. You found the
most important piece in the second round with Tyler Shuck.
Of course, that is that's always going to propel you
towards the top. If you can draft and immediately of course,
these are premature awards. You're not really going to know
who is going to have the best draft class for
multiple years down the road. But it certainly looks like
the Saints got a pretty good one. Of course, Kelvin
Banks Junior in the first round. When you fill in
your first two picks, you find a franchise quarterback in
a blindside left tackle that's pretty good. Like you got
a leg up on everybody, and Jonah Sanker. We feel
like it is going to be a pretty good option
for a while. Danny Stutsman at linebacker, devont Devin Neil
has been pretty good, Quincy Riley at corner. I mean,
they hit on a lot of different things in different
parts of the draft, not just their first two picks,
and that's been the kind of the blemish is like
they haven't really hit their top picks recently, certainly their
mid and late round picks, but it just hasn't looked good.
So it is kind of surprising. We want to be
hesitant to say this is a good draft class, but
the proof is in the putting right here. I mean
it is, you're fine with the first two picks, the
solidify left tackle, you get a franchise quarterback, which is
the hardest thing to do, and so gotta give him
some flowers at least, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, The thing is like you were listing out all
these guys, right, and there will be people that will
poke holes and it'd be like Chintzy Riley got exposed
at the Times. Guys, he's a rookie corner. That's going
to happen. Jona Sanker looks like a starting safety in
this league. Danny Stutsman day three pick, he did some
nice things for you, Like he's not an everyday starter yet,
But find me somebody you know you missed one in
this draft class. I don't think there's anyone out there, right.
I mean even Vernon Broughton. He didn't play a ton,
but he was hurt a little bit. That's a third
round pick. You don't know for sure that that guy's
not gonna pan out because you were talking about missing
one picks, right, Like, even if none of these guys
become perennial All Pros and they're just solid starters or
even role players for the late round guys, did you
miss on any of these guys as of right now?
I don't think you can find somebody out there that
you're like, that was a buzz horrible pick.
Speaker 2: You shouldn't have made it. Yeah, Yeah, And I think
the quarterbacks certainly set you above everybody else. Now, other
teams that were in the running for this award, Panthers, Bears, Browns, Patriots,
Giants all under consideration. Panthers of course had the Rookie
of the Year teder Roade McMillan. I think they had
Etn as well. No, that was a Jackson through but
I mean he was there, he was there, RB three.
The Bears are in at Colston Loveland. Who else did
they have? They had a couple of other really good rookies.
The Browns who had the defensive Rookie of the Year.
They of course had Shador and Dylan Gabriel and quinch
On Judkins I believe as well, and Dylan Sampson. I'm
surprised the Brown Brown's were probably they had some good ones, certainly.
Speaker 4: It just.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's as weird it is to say Saints
had a lot more wins last year, Like that's that's
kind of what it It's kind of what it boiled
down to. I mean, there's five wins with the Shuck. Yeah,
the Browns. That didn't really turn that into anything. Samson
was hurt half the year.
Speaker 2: So Patriots, let's see Traveon Henderson, that Will Campbell, Will
Campbell who you know, I would say, and they won
a lot so and then the Giants which is probably
the most sex appeal there with Skataboo and Jackson Dart, which,
let me tell you something, you know, everybody knows. I'm
in this card game. The sports card world. There's so
much about like the card market that makes sense, but
there's some things that don't. Jackson Dart, his card value
market is like double the amount of cam Ward Tyler
Shuck and Shador, which I understand Chador is very highly
thought of in like the card would but I make
it make sense to me that Jackson Dart has like
a double value than these other rookie quarterbacks, and rookie
quarterback cards are like the most those those are the
chases for everybody. He want rookie quarterback cards.
Speaker 5: Flush of your player work a big market more of
a runner.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like when you're testing your dollars that you own
into a piece of it's an investment, it's a piece
of you know, it's a card whatever, and you're thinking
about holding on to it. Did you really think he
is going to be a better long term fit than
cam Ward Tyler. Shuck. That's that's what I That's how
I look at it. Maybe that's just like going for
the quick flip. Anyway, that's a little side note to
the a nerdy card card situation. Last time the Saints
won this award was the twenty seventeen draft pick, which
was Marshaun Lattimore in the first, Bryan Ramchack in the first,
Marcus Williams the second, Alvin Kamara in the third, Trey
Henderson in the third. Like so, pretty decent little little
draft class there. That's when Sean Payton was there. And
I saw a interview that came from the combine with
Sean Payton yesterday, and I was, I'll look this this
morning when I was when I when I got to
the studio, and it was Sean Payton having this conversation.
Of course, the twenty seventeen was Patrick Mahomes draft year. Yeah,
and we don't need to introduce Patrick Mahomes anybody out there,
but he was he was talking about so Patrick Mahomes
went tenth. The Saints had the eleventh pick, and he
was talking about their draft and how amazing the draft
class was, but they were He got asked about Patrick
Mahomes and he said, when you're in the draft, you
always in the draft. It's getting closer to you when
the pick in front of you goes. You want to
have two guys. I always want to have two guys
in your mind. So like you know that you're getting
one of these two guys no matter what happens. So
you know, they have this list and they're curating this list,
and they're they're doing this whole list, and they're and there.
Everything is works towards the draft. And so he said,
when it got to the tenth pick, the ninth pick,
I can't remember if somebody took somebody. I can't remember
what team that was. So when they got to the
tenth pick, are two guys or Patrick Mahomes and Marshawn
And he said, so those were the two guys that
we were going to take at eleven. And he said,
We're sitting there and we see a trade come across
and he didn't think of anything thing of it. And
then Sean Payton said, when he saw it was the Chiefs.
He said, he looked at Mickey Loomis and he said, well,
there goes Mahomes. Yeah, because he's like, I know Andy Reid.
I respect their evaluation of quarterbacks. I know that they're
really good at what they do when it comes to
quarterbacks of talent that I just knew they were taking.
I had no other inside information. I just knew that
Andy Reid was going to take him because we knew
he was that special. Yeah, and so he's like, of
course we take Marshall Latimore. Then he goes on to
talk about Ryan Ramcheck and Alva Kamarin like how good
that draft clapse was. And the guy interviewing came back
and said, if they didn't take him, who would you
have taken? And he said, we were going Mahomes. That's crazy, right,
how about that?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a I remember there was always a rumor, right,
And like they were never able to confirm it, obviously,
because when Page let it out, when Sean Payton left town,
it was always like, oh, that was Shawn and Mickey's guy.
That's the guy they were going to take. And I mean,
now that it is, it makes a ton of sense,
Like Patrick Mahomes fits what Sean Payton wanted to do, right,
Like he's what he was really good at, the intermediate stuff. Like, look,
Mahomes is great at everything, but like that's kind of
what he's known for. I mean, I remember when everybody
thought he reads on bow Nicks. My thought was like, Okay,
you may not think bo Nicks is the best quarterback
in this draft class, but he fits Sean Payton's offense perfectly,
and you're seeing it with all the wins, Sean Payton
and Patrick Mahomes on the same offense. I mean, that's
that's that's Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, that's Belichick, Brady. I mean,
that's the sky's of the limit for that duo.
Speaker 2: That's probably like insert name at coach Mahomes right right.
What a butterfly effect situation that is to think about there,
Like we think of Patrick Mahomes already now as a
top what three quarterback of all time? As as he
sits right now top four or five, I mean at
least top five. I mean with the Super Bowl victories,
with what he's done, how he changed the position and
how it's played a lot, you certainly have to put
him in that conference people don't want to put younger
active quarterbacks in that because of respect to the people
that came before, respect to the legends of the game.
But like, statistically, you got to look at that and
you have to put him in the at least the
top five of all time currently, you know as it
sits right now. But is he that well thought of
if he does go to the Saints? What a crazy
world to think about? What a crazy say.
Speaker 4: If Sean Payton would still be the coach, maybe.
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes wouldn't even be in the league. Who knows well.
Speaker 5: To think about what it did to a guy like
Alex Smith, Like he was third in MVP voting and
he was replaced by Patrick Mahomes the next year. Right,
what is he in Kansas City? Because him and Andy
Reid at a connection. When did Drew Brees retire after
twenty twenty season?
Speaker 2: Can you imagine my not seeing Homes play for four years?
But as a Breeze retire earlier. It's it's kind of
like the situation I walked into in Green Bay. They
pushed Farv out because they knew Aaron Rodgers was ready
to go, and Aaron said, what three years? Aaron said
three year because he's a five draft class, so five
was six or seven. Yeah, he set three years and
Farv wanted to come back. Farv on July, around July
fourth weekend, he was in Green Bay. One team to
come back, and they were like, we'll pay you. They
basically I'm pretty sure, like I'm I'm not remembering perfectly
and I don't know how public it was, Like I'm
pretty sure they paid him his last year salary like
to not to not come back because they're like, we
Aaron Rodgers is our guy right now, like we know
what we got with that guy. And I think they
had just made a playoff run too, or they were
in the playoffs.
Speaker 5: And that was at the time where three years in
a room, everybody's like, this is Brett Farres the last
year and in July every single year he's like that
we're gonna run.
Speaker 2: It was the first time. This was the first one
of those. And if he would have if like it's
Brett Farv right, like a legend, Like if they would
have done what most teams would have done and be
like absolutely come back and be our quarterback, I would
have never had the opportunity to play, like what a
butterfly fact. That is because I was a seventh round pick.
There was a second round pick in front of me.
And this was summer. We were at Rookie Symposium. I
remember being at Rookie Symposium, which is where all the
drafted rookies go, and they basically give you lecture after
lecture for two days about like how to not be
an idiot, how to not get put in prison, how
to not like go broke and do all this stuff.
And we're sitting there. I'm at the airport and I
see Brett Favre's airplane like land in Green Bay. I
see him getting off walking with like Ted Thompson, Mike McCarthy.
I'm like, oh my god, if he comes back like
I'm cut, I'm cutting before training camp even starts. In
the training camp, that's when I won my song, Like
I beat the second rounder out. I became the backup.
But I would have never had that opportunity. Who knows
how the career turns out. I wouldn't you probably be
sitting here at this desk with you guys.
Speaker 4: Do we think Patrick Mahomes Dad gets more d wis
in New.
Speaker 2: Orleans if you get them in Kansas, though.
Speaker 4: Like, do we think that if Patrick Mahomes is with
the Saints, Patrick Mahomes Senior has a punch card in prisoner? Now?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think New Orleans is a but like immensely
wilder city than Kansas City.
Speaker 2: It's also Louisiana. Yeah, I love our Saints. Like, oh,
my home's dad hate this. Gets this guy home, Get
this guy home?
Speaker 4: Is Jackson Mahomes as annoy? What about Brittany? Is she
champagne all over people? I think I think that was
the one thing that people didn't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think her, but she in the court of
public opinion has gone up? Has she sports illustrated? Like
it didn't? She was and girlfriends in the NFL or
wives and girlfriends in sports?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: The swim Tit edition, She's in there. Like, I don't
like nobody.
Speaker 5: I don't have a problem with I don't have a
problem with Brittany Mahomes at all.
Speaker 2: It was a situation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just think it was that one video where
people didn't like it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it. I get it. Everybody's got that
one yeah or two.
Speaker 4: Or five, ten whatever, who hasn't spray champagne on like Jackson?
Speaker 5: I get Brittany I was always like, I just kind
of felt like she was guilty by association just because
she was always round Jackson Homes.
Speaker 2: Everybody's like, oh, these two well t Swift likes her?
Are they Are they friends? Now? Now they weren't. They
weren't their enemies or freenemies.
Speaker 5: Remember it was always t Swift and Blake Lively sitting together,
and Brittany Mahomes was always kind of kind of off
to the side.
Speaker 2: They probably made up though. All right, drama, all right,

coming out a Pat McAfee yesterday? He uh, Pat McAfee
known to be who I'm a big fan of, by
the way, I just want to throw that out there,
but known to give away a lot of money college
game day. He's done it on his show a lot.
They're like always on a show people are shooting hoops
or throwing footballs or making putts whatever for some sort
of money. Usually it's going to a combination of people,
combination of the person that's actually doing the shooting, or
going to some sort of charity or doing something going
towards tuition, always given, loves to give away some money,
and he's making a lot of it, and but he
gives back in the understands, you know, that's why he
makes some because he gives them away like it's it's all.
It's a circle, right. But he is known to be
actually a super really good dude. Well that's what he
did this past weekend. This past week excuse me, Pat
McAfee buys and pays for one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars bar tab for the USA men's hockey team when
they went out and partied at the club in Miami.
That's I love this story.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 2: I absolutely love it. So we talked about these guys
aren't gonna have to buy a beer? Well, apparently Miami
club is going to charge one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars for their beers. One beer. The lists here says,
you know, some champagne, some tequila. I'm sure they.
Speaker 4: Were buying around to have some bottles of tequila up
in there.
Speaker 2: I'm sure they Oh, yeah, absolutely, I'm sure they say. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Connor Hellabook gets the Presidential Medal of Freedom and my
dude still got to buy drinks in Miami at the.
Speaker 2: Club, you know, and he I think I saw him
with the Secretary of Defense, the Giants secretary of Defense.
So fantastic. Anyway, I thought that was such a cool
story because I think we all want to be that
guy that you know, I've I've certainly bought you know,
rounds of for breakfast or rounds or something like. If
I see people like military people in uniform, whether it's
the Starbucks or at airport or whatever it is, you know,
you find something right right, it's five bucks, ten bucks, whatever,
one hundred and fifty thousand, it's pushing it for Pat McAfee.
What a cool What a cool story. Yeah, and so whatevery.
And I'm sure like the US, they're celebrating, they're having
a good time. They got half you know that one
guy's got to split tooth. I'm sure they're pointing, like you,
rounds for everybody, the whole bar. Blah blah blah. Awesome stuff.
Speaker 4: That is awesome.
Speaker 2: Kind of got me thinking too, Like I was sitting
at home yesterday and I was scrolling a little bit,
and I kept seeing the hatred for the US men's
hockey team, and I talked about it yesterday. Yes, still,
and then we'll look. I looked a little bit further
down and then I see like, I'm not I don't
want to ruffle feathers for anybody, and I'm not a
political person at all. And this isn't about that. It's
all a political segment. It's more like this is more
of like a common sense situation just from like a
US A thing. Right. I look and I see all
these bad headlines towards the US men. You've turned this
victory into politics. You you know, you won the hearts
and then you stomped on them with I'm like like why,
like how did they do that? Because they took a
call because they were invited to the White House or
the way from the president. Who if you win something,
whether it's a Democratic president, whether it's a Republican president,
whether it's an independent president, whatever, you take the call
always and your emotional is an emotional high. You are
eating up whatever they say. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: Yeah, do you think they were thinking that hard about what? No,
Like they were literally in the middle party to.
Speaker 2: White Hell yeah. Yeah. The only people I'm seventeen beers in.
Speaker 5: Making a political statement or the ones criticized in the
US hockey team for being political. Just kind of a
little little irony right there, Like, but they're not team
doesn't just taking a call. All the hockey team did
was do exactly what most other teams do. The people
that are making it political are the ones criticizing them.
Speaker 2: People that want to make it political, the people that
just want them to stand up for something instead of
just being a team is celebrating.
Speaker 5: You mean to tell me, by not taking a political stance, Matt,
they have made the whole thing political.
Speaker 2: Wow, and so, and I'm also not taking a political stance.
I'm just saying it's common sense. And then I scroll
a little bit farther and I see Time magazine has
Island go on their cover about how she's won the
hearts of the world for being a skier. Okay, so
you got Time magazine celebrating this woman who takes millions
from China and wins a gold for China. But you
do whatever your personal reasons are. But we don't have
to love it. But from it's just an optics from
a thousand foot perspective, you're hating on one the US
men's hockey team because they win in an incredible fashion,
bring the whole country together, take a call from the President,
go see the White House. But then you got this
other media company putting Island Gou on the cover saying
how inspirational she is. Make that makes sense to anybody,
And it's not cool. It's uncool to like America knowing
it's not political. This is not a politically it's a
common sense like Patriot. I don't know, maybe I'm maybe
I'm I'm a little green on this. Yeah, seems a
little funny to me though, seems a little stupid.
Speaker 4: Agreed.
Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, it's just stupid. That's stupid.
Speaker 4: It's stupid.
Speaker 2: Is absolutely well, that's the only where And I don't
really like to say that word. Not tell my children
not to say that word. Is it at a little
insensitive this morning? I mean, well some are saying, yeap,
things are just stupid in the world. But I just
had to say that. I'm sorry. I'm not sorry. Actually
I don't know why I said that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't apologize.
