Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and C Bob aber.
Speaker 5: I gotta come off the bench.
Speaker 3: Now here's Jacob Hester and tea Bob a bear.
Speaker 5: We're telling you.
Speaker 4: Welcome back two hour number three of Oh T B.
I hope you're all having an excellent day. Mumummy may summy.
Speaker 5: I believe that's plural. I don't know we finally get
a Pelican's highlight, it's a fast baby and the baby crawl.
Oh I did not.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so if I get a fellow highlight it's a
fast baby. I didn't understand what he was talking about.
I thought that he was maybe I don't know, because
Pelicans did win maybe the Spurs actually, so you know,
is that number thirteen or we up to thirteen wins
on the year now? Oh guys, uh, yes, of course,
as we discussed Friday, Wendy after the entire year and
Pop now well probably ruled out probably all time, but yeah,
for the rest of the season.
Speaker 5: Now not expected to return.
Speaker 1: Get fourteen and forty three, so they're making a comeback.
Speaker 5: But no, he is right.
Speaker 4: I should have had that in here weekend winter, that
little baby in the baby crawl, as I've never seen
such a dominant win. I don't even know that another
baby got.
Speaker 5: Off the start line.
Speaker 4: By the time old boy crossed the finish line, like
he was not only crawling fast, he crawled with purpose.
He never strayed, never for a second turned around or
got distracted.
Speaker 5: That's the best part about it.
Speaker 4: In front of hundreds of people, he managed to stay
locked in the entire any.
Speaker 6: Of the youth teams that I helped coach, when they're
running against someone and they look to the left, look
to the right, it is a pet peeve of mine. Yeah,
I'm like, you look one way at the finish line,
at the final destination.
Speaker 4: That's what that baby did. It's all that baby did.
So shout out to the baby. What an awful year
of Pelican basketball.
Speaker 6: Very forgettable. And we were excited about it. We thought,
oh my gosh, they made a trade. It's gonna be
great where he's coming in. It's a missing piece. Oh yeah.
And then Dyson Daniels is playing like lights out cool
tours Achilles.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh Daniels is balling.
Speaker 4: Yeah, somebody just let me just spread my legs and
somebody just kicked me in the nuts as hard as
you can. Because that's basically what the New Orleans Pelicans
have done to my NBA fan hood.
Speaker 5: Maybe we'll get an HL team. We can talk about
it later.
Speaker 4: Moscona writing though on one of four five that he
thinks that it's a quote a doomed proposal.
Speaker 5: Letters doomed to be fair.
Speaker 4: We did talk about the other day. It is deeply unrealistic, but.
Speaker 5: Now they're beingnounced it New Oron's actually kind of one
of the finalists. That's crazy, but we'll see.
Speaker 6: And Daniels averaging fourteen points per game, five and a
half rebounds, four assists, three steals and a block.
Speaker 5: He's been good.
Speaker 4: The amount of Pelicans that I've gone to watch on
to go on to thrive elsewhere, Like we talked.
Speaker 5: About it with the Saints.
Speaker 4: We talked about the Saints all the time, but the
Pelicans list is way worse. I mean, everybody when they're
here is literally dragged down by the the ass morass
that is the franchise itself. And they go elsewhere like
Drew completely thrive. I mean whatever the list goes on
and on, just they go and completely thrive. They win,
They become key pieces of winning teams, like now you Marshall.
Speaker 1: It's even Jackson Aes is better than he was in
New Orleans. I mean they try to get rid of him,
but he's a starter for the Lakers right now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Jonas got traded.
Speaker 2: He is starting with the Lakers because remember they tried
to trade and connect for Mark Williams.
Speaker 1: That trade fell through, So Hayes is there.
Speaker 5: Big mm hmmm.
Speaker 7: Jonah's got the Kings now, probably gonna help them on
a playoff run.
Speaker 6: You know what, since I mean, since we're here, I
got like I'm I'm real negative today in winters.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, wait, so okay, what do we here? What
do you do you want to get into? Do you
want to air grievances?
Speaker 8: Now?
Speaker 5: I don't know. Look, here's here's my here's my issue.
I'll let you take control here.
Speaker 6: And I love George's on Highland was a spot that
we went to all the time. But you can't get
mad when families bring in children, when you have a
large arcade room dedicated to children, and also when you
come in.
Speaker 5: So give a little backstory here. So what happened? Well,
I mean, I'm gonna i'll I'll tell the story a
little bitter.
Speaker 6: So we go there all the time, and we go
in off times because look, uh, I know a lot
of people haven't forbid, but we have a lot of
children and other families, right, we decided to do that
crazy and you go dearing off times three o'clock. Nobody's
in there, right, and we go, Like I said, we
go pretty often, but last couple of times, like we've
had some people the staff talk sideways to.
Speaker 5: Children like their adults.
Speaker 6: And these are like seven eight year olds even younger,
and let it slide one time and yesterday it's where
Katie want to go for a birthday and we're like, hey, we'll.
Speaker 5: Go three o'clock. It's raining. Ain't gonna be a single
soul in there outside of us. Made it the birthday choice.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and we're talking about multiple families. We're gonna spend
a lot of money on these games. Half these games
don't work. They're gonna take our quarters, but we don't
care because we're going to be in here. It's gonna
be a great time. And look, we're gonna have some
big old tabs in there as well. Right, And when
we first got there, I was like the guy was great,
he was awesome, the guy who uped this at the beginning.
Then I see the worker come in that I knew
was going to be an issue. And you'd already had
a tiff with well heard the last weekend, like talk
to them sideways and I'm like said something very quick, Hey,
I'm gonna let it go whatever. Maybe's bad day, but
talking sideways to children instead of coming to get the parents, Hey,
come get us, and they weren't acting crazy because I
was going back and forth to make sure. And again
we're the only swinging soul in the restaurant and just
talk and then talk sideways to the one person that
I look, you want to talk sideways to the missus,
you go ahead, best of luck. And then as we're
getting our point across, and I could tell that one
of the people's like, oh man, we messed up here,
and he's trying to apologize to me.
Speaker 5: I'm like, nah, but it's already done. The damage is done.
Speaker 6: And then has the audacity as we're very calmly airing
out our grievances, to answer the phone while we're talking
in our interface. And then I was like, I told
old boy, I said, up, you've done messed up. I said,
I would never bring this on air, but you like,
this whole situation is so bad and egregious, and you've
been around my children kids.
Speaker 5: It's an arcade. It's an arcade if you don't want children.
Speaker 6: And we were respectful in the fact that we came
at three o'clock in the afternoon on a rainy day.
There was no other person in the restaurant that was
not in our party. And when I say, like Memphis
to come get some quarters, hit a fast walk up
and yelled, stop running in my restaurant. First off, it
ain't your restaurant. You're working behind the cash register there, okay.
And that's when Mama Bear and Papa Bear heard it,
and I am like, it's highly disappointing because it's a
great baton rouge establishment and this has been multiple times.
Damn that you're talking to children like they're grown adults
instead of coming to get the adults.
Speaker 5: And it's sad, man. That was our spot, that's where
we used to go, not anymore. Damn. That made me mad.
Speaker 6: And you're gonna do great and you're gonna thrive, and
that's great, but just know like that is not And
I've been very fortunate and I'm in the restaurant business
three times over.
Speaker 5: I get it. I know it. And that's not how
you handle things. Uh uh you know. Look, yeah, this
is why you like.
Speaker 6: It sucks even you like you're very like you don't
like confrontation, and that's good about you.
Speaker 5: You would have been very angry.
Speaker 6: Yeah i'd been talking to the quad Bob, you'd have
been mad the way to talk to Memphis.
Speaker 4: Uh, it's it's again, it's it's that's as I would say,
your score, whoever it is, is scoring really low on
the situational awareness on multiple fronts. You know, to be honest,
That's why you find the places that you know that
maybe think like whatever. You find the places that, even
though they're probably annoyed with you, still internally.
Speaker 5: Right, yeah, they they.
Speaker 4: Plaster a smile on their faces and they act super nice. Right,
what do you think, like Friday for whatever that Alice
wanted to go to Superior.
Speaker 5: Yeah, for a birthday because you know, they get to
run around little outdoor area, gonna get chiros and the sombrero.
Speaker 4: And the big flaming candle that again, don't try to
blow that out. That doesn't blow guys, It goes out
on its own.
Speaker 5: Every year.
Speaker 4: My wife tells my kid to blow down. They nearly
sends their eyebrows off. Uh but yeah, but I mean yeah,
even quad Bobs like running around acting like an idiot,
and I'm like chasing him and yeah, he's almost like
you tripped of a couple of work.
Speaker 5: I'm embarrassed. What are the services? You're there alive? Like, oh,
it's so cute, but it's like, I.
Speaker 4: Know you don't really feel that. I know you're actually
annoyed and tied. So I appreciate you being so kind
about it.
Speaker 6: So you know what, the chat's right next time, Daniel,
we're going to the renovated mister Gaddy's Baby always.
Speaker 4: Going to you, right, arcade games working, I suppose, I
mean right, I mean really.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Okay, it's like a mini kind of like main
event types of Arcades's tough to keep up.
Speaker 5: You gotta want to give a damn yeah. And if
you have one, guess what you're gonna have children? Yeah. Again,
situational awareness if after a baseball like in the prime
time that that.
Speaker 6: Had been on us, Yeah, three o'clock. Not a swinging
soul in there. And you're making some really good moolah m.
Speaker 5: Yeah it sucks, man, sucks. All right.
Speaker 4: Well, look we still got winters stuff to get to.
But let's talk at Devin Snow who will give you
some all medium money.
Speaker 5: Give a positive one after I just you know, had
to do no, no.
Speaker 4: I mean we didn't really do winters there. We get well, well,
well let's let's just go to death. We'll just go

Speaker 10: Dude?
Speaker 5: Wait? So what was that? Was that a WrestleMania press
conference this weekend?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 8: That was a that was a sudden you know, they
hadn't announced it yet, and I kind of had a
feeling that's what it what they would be announcing. But
I didn't even know they were going.
Speaker 11: To do this press conference.
Speaker 8: I mean, look, that's why I wanted to stay the
story from when I came on here, because it is
a story. Man. It's not like I expected any of
this to happen. You know, it was very I was done.
I was the sun was going down. I'm sitting in
my draws on the Rikana. I mean spoke a joint
watching SmackDown, and I'm about an hour away from, you know,
dozing off, and I get an email and it's got
like a picture of the Rock on it, and it's
got birds and bold red saying media passes for a
rock press conference, Please confirm if you were coming?
Speaker 5: So what day is this? What day is this?
Speaker 8: This is? This is Friday night?
Speaker 4: Okay, So Friday night, so you are ready, you're back, Okay,
Friday night, You're at the drift off. You're watching SmackDown
as this email comes in.
Speaker 8: Yes, smacking has already been on for an hour and
it's in New Orleans. So I'm sitting here watching it
on my laptop. I'm sitting here thinking, like Bruce, SmackDown's
on right now. This has to be spam, has to
be spammed, has to be spammed. There's no way how
could I possibly make it to this if this is real?
So I reply back, saying is this real? Because if
it is, I'm sad literally and and and and this
and this girl. Amy replies back. She goes, yes, Devin,
this is real. You can call me if you want
to confirm. I met you briefly during the Super Bowl
Media week.
Speaker 4: Let's go there, we go see guys networking on media
row paying off.
Speaker 8: Right, and I would I was already kind of the
last couple weeks like on myself about you know, I.
Speaker 11: Didn't really produce during super Bowl week, Like you know,
I'm not lending for that.
Speaker 8: You know that had some natural stuff happened, but I
didn't really produce no like good stuff on super Bowl week. Bro.
Speaker 12: That is that is some of the guilt that I
think happens often in this business. Is sometimes it's like, okay,
for your daily routine, you fall into it, you hit
a really good rhythm, you're doing good things, you're making
you know, you're like doing your good day day stuff.
Big a big event comes and you feel like, oh man,
well I should take advantage. You do some crazy for this,
and but it almost like knocks you out of your routine.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: Now it's it's a weird guilt in the content crazy game.
And I know exactly what I know exactly what you're.
Speaker 8: Talking about, and real quick on a super Bowl media
week to me, man, like once I got there, it
was so overwhelming. I've never been done anything like that.
I'm around so many like huge names, I mean, it
was a piss and contest, you know.
Speaker 11: What I'm saying. It's like it was just it was
a lot for me there.
Speaker 8: So and I'm not the type of dude just to
run people down. Hey man, you got five minutes so
we could do this bit, you know whatever? Right, So
anyway I called her, she was like, yeah, it's real.
So within the next islum, me and Jordan bad SmackDown
sitting in a room of twelve chairs, total wow on
the rock to walk up. Everybody's in there just silent
thinking of what they can ask the rock. Literally you
could hear a pen drop. Everybody's like damn.
Speaker 4: So they sent out this email like an hour before
the actual press conference.
Speaker 5: Exactly did anybody even know he was still in New Orleans?
Speaker 11: Dude?
Speaker 8: The press conference was at nine thirty. I got there
at nine o'clock, nine at night, Yes, non thirty at night.
Speaker 5: This is the craziest thing I've ever heard of my life.
I'm the biggest superstars.
Speaker 4: What kind of slap dash? Like just throw that? That
is well okay, so okay, so there's the run up
to it. Here's how uh the actual interaction went down.
I want to start and to pick up a death
on the other side. So here it is good.
Speaker 5: So I have two questions.
Speaker 9: I'm just going to merge them into one somehow.
Speaker 13: Let's say you have the ultimate cheat day for food, okay,
and your New Orleans. What are three foods that you
got to eat on your ultimate cheat day?
Speaker 5: And New Orleans?
Speaker 13: And then somehow I'm a padist with who are your
three favorite artists.
Speaker 5: From? Oh I'm from the Deep Side.
Speaker 13: Yeah yeah, I'm from Satnard Parish.
Speaker 5: My coach Miami.
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, yeah, he's from Yeah. That's Foos, Yeah yeah,
the Foos that's to buy crazy. Yeah yeah, we love that.
Speaker 5: Well, we trust that. Yes, if you're not that, we
don't trust it.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you about something about Coacho.
Speaker 14: So, you guys who know Coacho here was my coach
down at University of Miami. And at that time we
were volling there. Myself, I'm sorry, let me not put
myself in the in the class of these guys who
had Ray Lewis one safe, you had the best defense
and Coacho who was our coach, And I didn't understand it,
but I understand it months later. Just how many great
lessons he actually than.
Speaker 5: I love that guy.
Speaker 14: And I really appreciate it.
Speaker 5: He's awesome. Yeah, he's great. I can remind you, Okay, yes,
for sure.
Speaker 14: As a matter of fact, I have to pick up
a bunch of one little girls.
Speaker 8: She's nine.
Speaker 5: She's like, you remember it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say that. I would say, I'd say
crawfish man today.
Speaker 8: Yes you did.
Speaker 5: I'm fueled up on crawfish right and that's.
Speaker 8: Energy.
Speaker 5: Oh man.
Speaker 4: Uh that is amazing. Also great answer. A couple of
great details to give the rock credit for there.
Speaker 5: Uh, because you hear Ben is coming, but then going
to crawfish.
Speaker 4: Hell, yes, crawfish very strong answer there, and also recognizing
the parish accent as being very New Orleans because far
too often when you have outsiders hear that accent, dev
it feels like you get hit with like Boston or
New York and stuff like that.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Fact, Actually, dude, I'm glad you brought that up. I
was greatly appreciative that that was never mentioned. He had
every reason to mention some outside of stuff like that,
And no, dude, this dude was actually see that's what
I'm saying. Like wherever you want to start, Like how
genuine he was? Yeah, how knowledgeable he was about New Orleans.
You know, man, this look. People are like, man, look,
the Rock's a huge megastar, no doubt, right, but this
guy is grounded.
Speaker 11: Yeah, which was incredible.
Speaker 8: It was incredible to see how grounded he was. And
you know, you could have been like me. You watched
thousands and thousands of hours of The Rock and your
lifetime and it meant absolutely nothing in that moment because
you can only pull back layers of your memories so
much when you're in such an intense moment, you know.
Speaker 11: Yeah, But anyway.
Speaker 13: It was.
Speaker 11: It was special, dude, It really was.
Speaker 5: Where were your nerves at before the press converence?
Speaker 4: I mean there's a little bit of the at the
beginning that's kind of cut off from the clip that
we played where you were talking about kind of vibrating a.
Speaker 5: Little bit with a way of electricity.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean once, oh man, once, I like, once
he walked in. Man, I had to just keep telling myself.
I was like, man, you know, screw whatever of the
feelings or what have it, just you know, I understands generic,
but like, just forget about it, man, like you're here,
Like I even told the dude Byron Saxon the WW announcer.
I was like, man, I don't even know how I
got here, bro, but I'm here, you know.
Speaker 5: Alvo says his third answer was red beans, rice Man.
Speaker 4: One day, one day there will be That's that's honestly.
We need to try to push whatever we can, contact
whoever we can. If the Rock really wanted to get
in local with the city, like Leonardfoernet said, right, dev
a great representative representative of New Orleans, real New.
Speaker 5: Orleans, what if we could get rock on an RB
and R day, Dude.
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, I'll tell you this. I mean what
last week A Seed was planning. You know, when I
believe in that stuff, I know that I'm gonna beat
there this next year for wrestle Meini. I know that
for instance, shout out Amy, Amy's gonna hit me up.
Speaker 11: Again at Let's Go.
Speaker 5: We got to got red Beans and Rock the ultimate.
Speaker 11: Yes, I mean, look the rock that night.
Speaker 8: You know his entiince song was the Block is Hot.
He did a remix to the rock song with thet
It was incredible, bro like he was. You would have
never imagined how well in such he was with New Wounds.
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, Bilbo says it wasn't a seed that was planned.
It was a bean that was so there you go,
do what.
Speaker 4: Do you think should out all your like again? Because
you're someone who's just made this happen. Hold on my
Fellowship of the Ring book on tape just started.
Speaker 5: I was like, whose voice? I mean Andy Serguis Lord
of the Rings audio was great? Anyway.
Speaker 4: Anyway, Uh, Dev You've done a lot of cool stuff
in this business. I mean you've literally smoked blunt with
Tracy Porter talking about the game winning pick in the
Super Bowl. Like, You've done a lot of things that
I think would have blown your mind when you were
selling cars all those years ago.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 5: Where does this moment rank amongst the bunch?
Speaker 8: I mean it's got to be number one. Number two
would be when they built the float of me last
year through the Tracy Poor Like, that's how I feel
about it.
Speaker 5: Number four is his first time on O TV.
Speaker 8: Yes, I'll never forget it.
Speaker 11: I'll never forget it.
Speaker 8: But no, it was it was so like and it
happened so quick, you know, So it was like one
of those things. The way when I got the email,
I almost like was about to email back and be like,
there's no way I'm gonna make this. You know. I
was already like like all the blonds were shut in
the house.
Speaker 5: It was, yeah, you were comfortable, you like you said
you was. You was in the drawers already.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So like I had every kind of reason in my
body to say no, but that one thing just kept
telling me. I was like, bro, just run over there
to the Smoothie thing center.
Speaker 11: And I didn't have nobody around me, so I had to.
Speaker 8: Call Jordan's and I was like, Jordan, what are you doing?
Speaker 11: You want to go meet the Rock?
Speaker 6: And He's like yeah, you know, hell yes, And then
Jordan gave you like some kind of a take about
something probably fantasy.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Well we were standing in the back by the wrestler trailers.
You got the cops walking up to us, saying, hey, man,
y'all like just waiting out here to like get pictures
with wrestlers.
Speaker 11: I'm like, naturally, I said, naturally, yeah you know.
Speaker 5: But also now I'm a credigaled media member.
Speaker 8: Use I'm in sweatpants and a hoodie, you know, so
I kind of just looked like a regular fan.
Speaker 4: God, I mean it just it made me so happy
watch that entire interaction, and like you said, I think
I think like I think, I think that that is
one thing The Rock is incredible at, like you said,
being grounded, being personable. I mean, I think we can
make it up. We have got for WrestleMania to get
him on urbn R. That's all I want to think about.
Speaker 8: When he walked into the press conference. I mean, I've
met some notable people before, never as notable as The Rock.
But like when he walked in, he asked how everybody
was doing, and he looked all twelve people in the
eye and respond it was crazy.
Speaker 4: And it's like, and how many press conferences has that
guy done in his life?
Speaker 5: A billion? Like he could have.
Speaker 6: Probably appreciated the fact that there was just twelve people
in there too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe a little more intimate.
Speaker 9: Sure it was.
Speaker 8: It was incredible, man, because like you would think that,
like it'd be like twelve you know, wrestling and I mean,
I'm obsessed with wrestling, but you'd think it would have
been like twelve wrestling reporters.
Speaker 11: No, dude, this was like twelve you.
Speaker 8: Know at the last minute, influences, flash, you know, whatever
it was. It wasn't like Dave Metslo was in there

Speaker 4: Omaha in baseball this weekend, and I'm about to give
you the grittiest story out of Omaha.
Speaker 5: Is a high school, Omaha North.
Speaker 15: They have a big, old, nasty white boy named Tyson Terry.
He tore his ACL in October during a football game. However,
he was a three time wrestling state champion, undefeated in
his career, but his tours ACL in October wrestling season,
of course, right after football season.
Speaker 5: Yep, he's cooked, right, you would think so wrong? Wrong?
Speaker 4: My man just put on a knee brace, wrestled an
entire season with his torn ACL, and became the first
heavyweight four pete state champion in Nebraska high school history.
Terry finished his career one hundred and sixty nine to
oh and He Bill Goldberg, and he will now be
a Nebraska d lineman next year for the Cornhuskers BRUH.
Four time state champ, first ever heavyweight won sixty nine
to zero, and he wrestled the entire year on a
torn acl That's wild.
Speaker 7: That.
Speaker 6: It's one thing if you do it for a match,
two matches, still incredible, But for a year, entire.
Speaker 5: Season fin it's undefeated one state again, that's uh. And
I know that that.
Speaker 6: Warms your Cornhusker loving heart to see that.
Speaker 5: I mean, hey, look, hout maker, he was the beast wrestler.
I don't know whatever, I'm not.
Speaker 4: I'm not okay, guys, I promise you this off season,
I'm not gonna talk about Nebraska.
Speaker 5: I keep getting fooled. Let's just look like I do.
Speaker 6: Pick a new team that you wax poetic about every
single Let let's let Matt rule.
Speaker 5: We're gonna need to see that third year jump. And
I'm not happy with Matt Rule. Who they just cancel
their series with Tennessee. Yeah, what the hell man? We saw?
Speaker 6: And no spreing game too, Yeah, god bless you.
Speaker 5: I forgot.
Speaker 4: We haven't talked no spring game on here because that's
pretty big. But that's something we should actually say because
that's a topic on itself.
Speaker 5: Like, I see why coaches are doing no spring game.
Speaker 6: I hate it, but I get I don't know that
I hate it either, but will I was somebody that
very greatly benefited from spring games. No, me too, But
I mean there's practices in the games and everything to
the actual game, and I will when we do that segment,
probably tomorrow, I'll explain we can lose her v A R.
Speaker 5: Got Everton again.
Speaker 6: Everyton was up to neil Man United comes back, ties
it two to two, and in the like the very
end of the game, here's what happened.
Speaker 10: All right, I'm saying in now eighteen I was young,
a little cunts.
Speaker 5: Yes, well, help me first break what else?
Speaker 8: Eight?
Speaker 6: I still taking.
Speaker 10: Getting back to this clearly grapping the water off Ashley
Young's top. Maquie then goes on to crap it. But
I'm not gonna give a penalty for this because I
mess her.
Speaker 5: I eight eight So yeah, okay, actually turned out to
be pretty fun.
Speaker 4: So is that that?
Speaker 3: That is?
Speaker 15: What? What is that?
Speaker 5: Somebody imitating what they imagine?
Speaker 16: Yes?
Speaker 8: The A v A R.
Speaker 5: Official was decided. Ashley Young for Everton.
Speaker 6: Has the ball balanced back to them at the very
death right and he gets pulled down by his jersey
by two different players. They call a penalty on the field,
the announcers are like, I don't care, that's going to stand.
Speaker 5: All the pundits are like, I don't care, that's going
to stand.
Speaker 6: And of course, because it's Everton to go to var
and they say no penalty, even though there's multiple views of.
Speaker 5: His jersey being pulled out.
Speaker 6: He did himself no favors when he after the fact
when he flopped around, But still that doesn't take away
from the jersey getting.
Speaker 5: Pulled multiple times by multiple players.
Speaker 6: And Everton would have probably won right there at the death,
and they're still unbeaten in their last six, but that
was that's a big two points for Everton to not
be able to have on the old resume there.
Speaker 5: Ah, I mean, they're still going to finish middle of
the pack, right, What does it matter because my brother's
both like men united. Ah damn dude.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and everything's in a completely different form than they
were before their manager came back to them, and so look,
it's penalty.
Speaker 5: It's a penalty.
Speaker 6: And again again, who should be in front of microphones
explaining what he saw, why he came to this.
Speaker 5: We just heard from him.
Speaker 6: Both of the officials, the var replay official, the head official.
They should have to sit down in front of a
room more than twelve people like the Rockad and answer
questions about why did you come to this decision? Because,
as we all know, any player involved had to answer
the same questions. But hey, let's don't get on the
referees who make a lot of money and are on
the field and decide the outcome of games.
Speaker 5: Sounds like tebup trying to an accent. Good thank you. Yeah,
it's a real action, so you know, not the breath
any y'all back there, My.
Speaker 2: Weekend winner is going to be Unfortunately the Duke Blue Devils.
It does not look like they are slowing down without
coach k As a matter of fact, Look, they made
their Madison Square Garden debut with Cooper Flag on Saturday.
Speaker 5: What did they do?
Speaker 1: They beat Illinois by forty three points one.
Speaker 2: From ten to sixty seven. The Blue Devils for primed
to make another run at those things. Should weekend winner
Cooper Flag?
Speaker 7: I beg you, yeah, yeah, I know. Not many people
are gonna know about this, but there was a boxing
fight over the match over the weekend. Dmitri Bevall and
arts are Bitter VF, two of the best light heavyweights
in the world. They fought earlier last year and better
viv won. In this fight, bev All actually won in
a majority decision. Bevall, if you remember, beat Canel Alvarez,
who Canelo is considered the best power per found pie fighter.
He beat him a couple of years ago and there
was a really good fight, actually pretty exciting to watch,
and it sets up a trilogy fight for them, which
this could be one of the better trilogies that we've
seen in boxing in recent history, because there hasn't really
been any good ones. So this is actually a great
fight to watch if you want to watch highlights, it's
actually pretty entertaining. So shout out Weekend where Dmitri Bevall
for getting the light heavyweight undisputed title.
Speaker 5: I've got a very.
Speaker 4: Niche meme for you to make that will almost assuredly
not do numbers but may make you laugh. Use a
little AI and get Liam Cohen saying do vault but
beva you know, and like the the the few boxing
fans who still care might get a chuckle out of
it if they're also Jacksonville Jaguars fans.
Speaker 5: The rough cell. It's a rough cell, well, Steve Cutt bevall. God,
what was he doing?
Speaker 4: Uh? You know, Okay, here we can winner Timothy Shallow
may take some Best Actor at the SAG Awards last night,
but really it's the speech that I love.
Speaker 16: Here is young Timothay after raised this up. I guess
I'm just gonna talk low. I'm know how to get
this up all right?
Speaker 9: Well, thank you. I was not expecting this at all, truly.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 9: I'll start by thinking my mother, who I'm here with tonight.
Speaker 16: She has been working at Actors Equity for forty years
in the Stage Union, and I'll quickly run through this.
You know, I know the classiest thing would be to
downplay the effort that went into this role and how
much this means to me.
Speaker 9: But the truth is this was five and a half
years of my life.
Speaker 16: I poured everything i head into playing this incomparable artist,
mister Bob Dylan, a true American hero, and it was
the honor of a lifetime playing him. It's an honor
I share with Monica L. Edward, the entire cast, who
in a genre doing a biopic that could be perhaps tired.
Speaker 9: Everyone gave it their all, so I'm deeply grateful to them.
Speaker 16: And lastly, I can't downplay the significance of this award
because it means the most to me. And I know
we're in a subjective business, but the truth is, I'm
really in pursuit of greatness. I know people don't usually
talk like that, but I want to be one of
the greats. I'm inspired by the greats. I'm inspired by
the greats here tonight. I'm as inspired by Daniel day Lewis,
Marlon Brand doing Viola Davis as I am by Michael Jordan,
Michael Phelps, and I want to be up there. So
I'm deeply grateful to that this. This doesn't signify that,
but it's a little more fuel, it's a little more
amo to keep going.
Speaker 9: Thank you so much.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Timid Tay talk that talk.
Speaker 4: That talk, Yeah, I mean straight up, every time he
opens his mouth, he just says something that makes it
very human and likeful. But I just love that idea
of like and we know he's big sportsman, but just
being like, no man, look, I make no bones about it,
Like that is where I want to be.
Speaker 5: And he's on his way. I mean, think about it.
What he's Paul Trades right now, Bob Dilly's win Awards.
Will Welco I didn't love the Willie Walkerme Home, but
a lot of people did. Know a lot of people
loved it though, crazy, but yeah, it's good on Timothy.
I love the mentality.
Speaker 6: I ain't no doubt about that, Like why would I
half step in here?
Speaker 8: Like that?
Speaker 5: Was very humble.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was also like, hey, I got a chance, Yes,
I got a chance. On We'll put my head down,
I'm gonna go to work. That's what we loved about
the last day. And to am Michael.
Speaker 4: Jordan Nooki says that was wrong. Brother, dude, he completely
changed your mind. A game day big fan. Now, yeah
he killed college game and I don't care.
Speaker 5: I don't care.
Speaker 6: And he's a big sports fan, so a lot of
people didn't know that. But even if he wasn't, like,
even if you're coached.
Speaker 5: Up like, he still crushed that. But he's a huge
sports fan.
