Speaker 3: It's off the Bench.

7
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 4: All right, Welcome back in our number three Tuesday edition.

8
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,880
Here on off the Bench Tyler Sharp and Ladra villar

9
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,799
Rel Braxton Risuta. We've been trying to find a caffeine

10
00:00:53,799 --> 00:00:56,439
free drinks for Laundra to drink and haven't found any

11
00:00:56,479 --> 00:00:57,159
winter so far.

12
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 5: But I'll put I'm in the chat if you know us.

13
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:01,399
Speaker 4: Apparently that's what she's gonna give up for lant I

14
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:03,920
don't participate in lant one.

15
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 5: I'm not Catholic.

16
00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 4: Even if I was, though, I don't think I'd be

17
00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:08,799
able to survive. So look, I'm a man that knows

18
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,480
my limitations. Let's go to the phone lines right now.

19
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:15,480
Our guy Nick Underhill of New Orleans and Dot Football

20
00:01:15,599 --> 00:01:17,560
joins us. Right now, Nick, how are you this morning?

21
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:19,079
Speaker 2: Doing great?

22
00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:21,439
Speaker 5: How you doing doing good? Uh?

23
00:01:21,719 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 4: Make you taking in any Marty girl out there in

24
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:24,680
the city today?

25
00:01:24,719 --> 00:01:25,239
Speaker 5: What you got?

26
00:01:25,359 --> 00:01:25,519
Speaker 6: Yeah?

27
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,519
Speaker 2: I live like two blocks off Saint Charles so it's

28
00:01:28,599 --> 00:01:31,000
kind of kind of not optional, like you're you're in it,

29
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,359
even if you don't want to be in it, like

30
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:33,840
they're bringing it to your house. But you ever, we're

31
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,359
out there, man, we're out there having a good time.

32
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,319
It's great to see the city's the weather has been

33
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,799
great this year. It's been it's been a great time.

34
00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 5: Did you see Lane Kivin on Indimian Saturday?

35
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: I did, Yeah, And like everything's running on time this

36
00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:49,239
year too, on top of that, so like that's a

37
00:01:49,319 --> 00:01:52,200
major win. Like normally, normally these things are like two

38
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,040
and a half hours behind when they're supposed to start.

39
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,359
Like it seems like everything's running on time to clean up,

40
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,959
spend crazy good. So like New Orleans is on top

41
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,640
of things this year. But as far as Lane goes, yeah,

42
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,000
and then I've seen the video of like everybody coming

43
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,040
up to them to take pictures. I don't know that

44
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:10,599
I've ever seen someone regretted decision in real time the

45
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,639
same way that looks like in that in that video.

46
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,719
But I mean, I think it's awesome he's out there

47
00:02:15,759 --> 00:02:18,039
and like I feel like the way he handled I

48
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,400
don't know if he saw the float where they were

49
00:02:19,479 --> 00:02:21,479
kind of you know, comming him a little bit fun

50
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,120
and Gale Benson a little bit like him treating it

51
00:02:24,159 --> 00:02:26,680
as a joke just kind of shows that he kind of,

52
00:02:26,759 --> 00:02:28,680
you know, gets it, and even if he doesn't, he's

53
00:02:28,719 --> 00:02:31,240
smart enough to pretend like it doesn't bother him. So

54
00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:33,759
it just seems like Lane's kind of hitting the right

55
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,960
notes right now too, So you know, that's a big

56
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,080
part of being there, Like when people talk about and

57
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,400
all that stuff, like these are kind of the little

58
00:02:40,439 --> 00:02:43,960
things beyond like just the coaching and winning that you've

59
00:02:44,039 --> 00:02:46,560
kind of got to just be cool with and roll with.

60
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,240
And him getting that early on even again, like if

61
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,400
he's just it's smart enough to know that that's the

62
00:02:51,439 --> 00:02:54,039
right pr play, that's good because I don't feel like

63
00:02:54,039 --> 00:02:56,840
Brian Kelly got that right away at all. He tried

64
00:02:56,879 --> 00:02:59,840
and it just came off his face. Like Lane's kind

65
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,080
of you know, he's sit in the right moves like

66
00:03:01,479 --> 00:03:03,800
Kyler shuck. You've seen him at all the right moves

67
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,120
over and over and over. Like that stuff ends up

68
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,719
mattering in the end, you know. Like I'm on a

69
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,080
rank here about Marty drawn out relate some people like

70
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,560
I feel like how like you know, like Dyne Williamson

71
00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:17,599
is someone who never really has felt like our guy.

72
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,159
Like he's never been out there. He's never been You

73
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,199
don't see him at prade, you don't see him wearing

74
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,479
like a Saints jersey anywhere. Like just those little things

75
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,199
when people want to start calling you bat and you

76
00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:30,439
you know it's a guy from Chicago like that, don't

77
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:33,080
get Louisiana behind you. I'm rallying for But when you're

78
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,240
not that guy, like, they aren't going to show up

79
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,840
for you the same way. So like those little things matter, man,

80
00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:39,800
Like you can just just show up and try to

81
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,400
be part of the community and you're gonna have built

82
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,919
some loyalty forever. So I think I think Layne is

83
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,560
smart to recognize that right away.

84
00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 5: All right, nixt think about New Orleans.

85
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,439
Speaker 4: Obviously, New Orleans Saints got a draft coming up here

86
00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:54,520
in April, and the name Jeremiah Love.

87
00:03:54,759 --> 00:03:56,159
Speaker 5: I keep seeing it pop up.

88
00:03:56,039 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 4: And I keep seeing people get into heated debates over

89
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,280
this name. Some people like it, some people hate it.

90
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,080
In your opinion, how serious of an option is that

91
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,159
for the Saints in realm.

92
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,199
Speaker 2: One, Yeah, I think it's a It's a real option.

93
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:10,240
I'm running in my computer right now to get you

94
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,479
some spreadsheet because I got some numbers that I want

95
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,159
to uh that I want to rattle off here. But

96
00:04:14,199 --> 00:04:16,560
I think it's a real option. I think I think he's,

97
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,839
you know, in this draft, in this class with that player.

98
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:22,160
Like I think the thing that people do that drives

99
00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:24,480
me crazy when when they have these conversations is that

100
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,000
they never kind of equate it with what's actually happening.

101
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,079
They just have these hard and fast roles like a

102
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,839
lot would never take a running back in the top ten. Cool,

103
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,040
Like I generally agree with that too, But in a

104
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:40,279
draft where there's really no quarterbacks besides the one, the

105
00:04:40,319 --> 00:04:43,480
offensive tackles aren't that great. The best pass rusher as

106
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,759
Will Campbell's arms, like, you aren't going to have like

107
00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:49,639
necessarily a ton of guys pushing other people down. So

108
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,199
this is a week top ten draft, so I think

109
00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:56,120
you kind of gotta gotta take that into consideration. And

110
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,160
then when you look at Jeremiah Love, I think he's

111
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:03,040
just the uh old. I'm looking this up real quick,

112
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,959
But I think when you talk about Jeremiah Love like

113
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,600
he's a special player, like his numbers, like, you start

114
00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:15,720
doing these comparisons to say Kwan to give to uh

115
00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:21,399
bjarn to everybody else that that that you know, you

116
00:05:21,439 --> 00:05:23,279
look at like the numbers that are just stacked them

117
00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:26,720
up incredibly in his favor, and you start bringing it

118
00:05:26,759 --> 00:05:30,079
down by run type, vers top twenty five opponents, all

119
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,199
these things, Like his numbers stand well above everybody else.

120
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,279
The average is eight yards of carry on outside one

121
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,000
runs like those are or numbers that translate to the NFL,

122
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:41,839
like you're just hitting the crease and you're going and

123
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,959
obviously you know the competition level is a little bit different.

124
00:05:44,959 --> 00:05:52,000
But I don't think that you can. I don't think

125
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,120
that you can just dismiss him in that role. Like

126
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,720
I think he's a special player. And again, like if

127
00:05:56,759 --> 00:05:58,319
you're telling me that that you can get a pass

128
00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:01,600
rusher in the positional value is better there and he's

129
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,680
graded equally to Jeremiah Love, I'm taking that ever least

130
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,000
single time. But if you're telling me that it's a

131
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,160
little bit different, you know, I'm looking at the running

132
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:13,000
back and I got to look at the special player

133
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,199
and like he does everything, Like all right, I got

134
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,560
it right here, Like Jeremiah Love, is it supposed to

135
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,240
run rate was seventeen percent. Djon Robinson's was sixteen percent,

136
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:28,360
Ashton Jensen's was sixteen, Barkley was sixteen, Gibbs was sixteen percent.

137
00:06:28,439 --> 00:06:32,040
So you're ahead of all these guys there yards before

138
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:38,519
contact versus after contact. Saque was pops two before contact.

139
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,240
Love is second at two point oh five. After contact,

140
00:06:43,519 --> 00:06:47,120
Love is at four point three. That's that's the best

141
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:50,199
among that whole group. Inside zone runs, he's the best

142
00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:52,319
one on those six point nine seven yards per carry

143
00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:54,800
out of the whole group talking about Jeremiah Love, gen

144
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:58,680
T Dejon, Jamior Gibs, and Taekuon Barkley. Outside zone runs,

145
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,199
he's top of that list too. Power runs, he's a

146
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:06,160
little he's thirty on the list. The counter runs, he's

147
00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:08,639
he's stirted on the list again, Like he just go

148
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:10,759
down and you can go through all these and he's

149
00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:14,240
better than people that are, you know, the the top

150
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,279
twelve picks in the NFL drafts, and the numbers just

151
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,040
stack up so favorably on all of them, and then

152
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,319
you know, I think the most impressive thing about him

153
00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:26,279
is is that against loaded boxes, he averaged almost six

154
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,519
yards of carry. Like these numbers are insane, and like

155
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:32,600
nobody else in this group compares to a lot of them.

156
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,800
I think he's genuinely special. And as you go through this,

157
00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:37,360
so I'm gonna write something on our side, like if

158
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,360
you go through this, like you can start to see

159
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,720
where the GENK case deterior rates as you get like

160
00:07:41,839 --> 00:07:45,199
more on like a molecular level of breaking this down,

161
00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:46,839
and you see where a lot of kind of himself.

162
00:07:47,279 --> 00:07:49,800
I think, I think he's different. I would not recall

163
00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:50,560
him picking him back.

164
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 4: I hear a lot of people say, like the pushback

165
00:07:54,439 --> 00:07:57,759
of drafting to Jeremiah Love that highest, Yeah, we like

166
00:07:57,879 --> 00:08:00,759
the player if he's the final piece for the Saints.

167
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,120
And then they go on to say, yo, you know

168
00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:04,759
you need this this and that's like in your opinion,

169
00:08:05,079 --> 00:08:08,199
not just to Jeremiah Love, like running back in general

170
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,000
for you, how high up is that on the priority list?

171
00:08:12,279 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: I think it's up on the power you list. And yeah,

172
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,480
look I think you do got to have all that.

173
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,279
Like all those things are true. But like if you're

174
00:08:17,279 --> 00:08:19,199
telling me that you can't go in the free agency

175
00:08:19,279 --> 00:08:20,959
and say, hey, look like we want to add too

176
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,519
interior offensive lineman, spend a lot of money on them

177
00:08:23,519 --> 00:08:26,240
so that we can go draft Jeremiah Love. I don't

178
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,439
think it's not hard to do. I don't understand why

179
00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:30,240
it's always talked about in a way where it's like

180
00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:32,120
mission impossible to do it and you just got to

181
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,600
have the full scale plan. But like, I think this

182
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,840
is always a little bit disingenuous too, because anything you're drafting,

183
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,559
if you aren't building the right structure on him, you're

184
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,799
wasting that player, Like Miles Garrett's being wasted in Cleveland, right,

185
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,279
But nobody's like don't draft a pass rusher because he

186
00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:49,519
doesn't change your fortunes immediately. You obviously always have to

187
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,240
build a good team now, Like, yeah, the different perier

188
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,039
is that the positional values lower, like the argument for it,

189
00:08:55,399 --> 00:08:57,200
And I think it's especially true like when you're in

190
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,320
a different cap situation too, Like positional value matters a

191
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,720
ton in that instance, because like if you're the Saints

192
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,360
in twenty nineteen, let's chuse twenty eighteen. It's a real example,

193
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,240
Like if you're the Saints in twenty eighteen, if you're

194
00:09:09,279 --> 00:09:10,799
up against the cap, you don't have the money to

195
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,120
go out to really sign a difference maker or pass rusher.

196
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:14,879
You got to kind of try to do something to

197
00:09:14,879 --> 00:09:17,279
get Marcus Stavenport because it's going to change your fortunes,

198
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,399
and you have no other way to acquire that player,

199
00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:21,279
and you don't have the cap space to go out

200
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,960
and get it. So you've got to try to do

201
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,639
these things so they become a greater consideration. But if

202
00:09:25,639 --> 00:09:28,200
you're the Saints and you have a rookie quarterback in

203
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:30,120
your cap, you have the dead money this year, you're

204
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,799
a little iffy on the cap this year. But if

205
00:09:31,799 --> 00:09:33,519
you actually know all the cap works like they're in

206
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,759
the clear next year, nobody's gonna be able to say

207
00:09:35,799 --> 00:09:37,200
they aren't the clear because the numbers are going to

208
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,559
be incredibly obvious. Like, I think you have a little

209
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,840
bit more wig over them because you have five years

210
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,919
from now really until that first bloated cap number hits

211
00:09:44,919 --> 00:09:46,720
on shuck if you sign them to an expection because

212
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,000
of the way you can structure that contract. So like

213
00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:51,639
the idea to me that that like positional value, you

214
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,080
should drive conversation here. No, Like I think the Saints

215
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,440
are in a situation where where just the quality of

216
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,279
the player should be at the forefront of it, because

217
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,039
you have the financial wiggle room over the next five

218
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,919
years to kind of construct it however you want. So,

219
00:10:07,039 --> 00:10:08,840
you know, I just think there's a lot that goes

220
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,480
into it, and I think every situation is unique. Again,

221
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,759
Like if you're telling me Ruben Bain Junior is grated

222
00:10:14,879 --> 00:10:18,519
exactly the same as Jeremiah Love, I'm taking Ruben Bain.

223
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,919
But if you're telling me that Jeremiah Love is higher

224
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,440
and Bain's below, I'm literally drafting Bpa because I just

225
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,480
don't think like I think when you're in a rebuilding,

226
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,519
you have pass space, which is thinks they're going to have,

227
00:10:30,759 --> 00:10:33,320
Like just getting the best players on your team is

228
00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:35,960
this thing that's going to get into the next level.

229
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,120
It's not going to be well, we got good value

230
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,159
on a pass rusher and good value on a running back. Like, no,

231
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:44,679
go go buy the pass rusher if you think he's better,

232
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,000
and draft the running back if you think he's better.

233
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,399
And who cares. Like you got five years to kind

234
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,480
of get everything into place and be ready, But like

235
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,360
right now, you just need to be building a team

236
00:10:53,639 --> 00:10:56,600
to take advantage of this this rookie quarterback. And the

237
00:10:56,639 --> 00:10:58,240
best way to do that is just to build the

238
00:10:58,279 --> 00:10:58,960
best team.

239
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 3: Mc roll.

240
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 4: Those that football our guest right now, Nick, If they do,

241
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,720
in fact go Jeremiah Love round one.

242
00:11:05,919 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 5: How do you think the rest of the draft falls

243
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:08,120
were the Saints?

244
00:11:08,159 --> 00:11:11,399
Speaker 4: I mean everyone everyone wants to talk receiver, they want

245
00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:13,080
to talk pass rusher, Like, where do you think it

246
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,960
falls after Jeremiah Love?

247
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 5: If they do go that way, I.

248
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 2: Think it's a good draft, like for those two two

249
00:11:19,759 --> 00:11:22,080
like those two positions specifically, Like I think it's kind

250
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,080
of deep on on pass rushers, Like I think second

251
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,759
third round, like the Illinois guys will probably be there.

252
00:11:28,799 --> 00:11:30,720
There's a tennesseee pass rushers that will probably be there.

253
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,440
Both those guys are pretty good, you know, they got

254
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:34,879
from Millais. I think I had like eleven and a

255
00:11:34,919 --> 00:11:38,120
half stacks last year, eleven stacks like and he's probably

256
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,720
around there. Got to show you can do a little

257
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,720
bit more in the run game. But like I think

258
00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:43,480
you can hit. I think you can hit on wide

259
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,840
receiver and as rusher in rounds two and three and

260
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,320
get guys that can that can help, you know, and

261
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,440
also like probably hear the end of the first round,

262
00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:56,320
like if if you really wanted to get a difference maker,

263
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,360
like the uh the other Miami pass Rusher is probably

264
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,759
gonna be available mess with Orf like probably probably in

265
00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:04,120
the twenties. Like as things look right now, I won't

266
00:12:04,159 --> 00:12:06,039
be surprised if he actually gets moved up a little

267
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,720
bit if this process goes along. But they guys there

268
00:12:09,759 --> 00:12:11,679
that I think you can go get, like Chris bella

269
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,039
wide receiver coming up to ACL like he could dip

270
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,080
a little bit and he already has built in chemistry

271
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,399
with with Shock. Obviously they were both at Louisville and

272
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,799
twenty twenty four. I think he averaged like almost eight

273
00:12:21,879 --> 00:12:26,440
yards after the catch per reception like that. That's something

274
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,639
they badly need in this offense. Like Surrat from uh

275
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,200
Indiana's going to be there. You know, there's a ton

276
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,799
of guys that I think you can get it either

277
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,919
one of those positions that can probably help. Obviously, you know,

278
00:12:38,039 --> 00:12:41,679
Jordan Tyson and Makaya Lemon and Karnil State are like

279
00:12:41,919 --> 00:12:43,759
way better than the rest of the group, and they're

280
00:12:43,759 --> 00:12:46,799
gonna probably be top ten, top twelve pix. But you know,

281
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,120
I think you wait a little bit, you can get

282
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,000
a difference maker. It's some of those spots. So however

283
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,360
you kind of want to do it, I think just

284
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,600
think fit in a really good spot. Like, I think

285
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,919
they can get somebody at eight to help their offense.

286
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,879
Look if if if a lot, say Taylor goes like

287
00:13:00,919 --> 00:13:03,080
and you told me they took Blaine, Like, I wouldn't

288
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,200
hate that pick at all. Like, I think that would

289
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,840
be a good pick too. Caleb Downs would be a

290
00:13:06,879 --> 00:13:09,960
good pick there, you know, David Bailey, Ruben Baying, Like

291
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,919
there's a lot of stuff they can do. But yeah,

292
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,639
if they go running back at eight, I still think

293
00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:16,240
they can check off those other things, probably grab a

294
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,200
garden round four. Like, there's just so many needs good

295
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,240
that if you just start drafting the best players at

296
00:13:22,279 --> 00:13:25,039
every spot, the guys that you think are actually the

297
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,720
best players, instead of chasing we got to get this,

298
00:13:27,799 --> 00:13:30,399
we gotta get this. I don't think they can screw up.

299
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,840
Like I think your odds of hitting on your picks

300
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,679
like go way up if you aren't chasing that stuff.

301
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,879
Like every single time we talk about one of these

302
00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:39,799
guys and it's like, ah, like this pick didn't work,

303
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,399
Trevor Penning, they felt like they had to go get

304
00:13:42,399 --> 00:13:44,720
a tackle. The squad has been a little bit ify

305
00:13:44,799 --> 00:13:47,360
with the health and you know everything overall, I still

306
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,000
am very high on his potential, but like they backed

307
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,840
themselves from the corner where it was like they have

308
00:13:51,919 --> 00:13:54,679
to take a tackle whether it's the third best one

309
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,799
available or the fourth best one available, Like andres Peek

310
00:13:57,919 --> 00:14:00,679
kind of fell into that box a little bit. Like

311
00:14:00,879 --> 00:14:03,440
every single time Sheldon Rankins was like they got to

312
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,840
get the interior pass rusher, they got to every single time,

313
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,559
like they chase that like that, that's where the mistakes

314
00:14:09,639 --> 00:14:12,360
end up getting made. So if they really do DPA,

315
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,600
like I feel like they're in a way better situation.

316
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,639
Speaker 5: Nick, you got a couple of big time veterans on

317
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:19,879
this team. Who's uh.

318
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 4: The Saints have to make a decision on their future.

319
00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:24,960
And of course I'm talking Cam Jordan and to Mario Davis.

320
00:14:25,159 --> 00:14:27,320
Where do you think things stand with them? I mean,

321
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,960
I imagine the Saints and Saints fans would love to

322
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,639
have both of them back, But where do things kind

323
00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:32,320
of stand right now?

324
00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:35,879
Speaker 2: If I had to make a production prediction today, I

325
00:14:35,879 --> 00:14:39,759
would predict Cam back to Mario the Mario leaves, and

326
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,720
I think they want both of them back. I just

327
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:44,559
think they want both of them back at a specific price.

328
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,720
And you know, I think to Mario is somebody who

329
00:14:46,759 --> 00:14:50,440
is incredibly intentional with with his words and what he says,

330
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:54,159
like his postgame press conferences or pre playing sermons. A

331
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,639
lot of times like they'll come them with his talking

332
00:14:56,679 --> 00:14:59,159
points for his weekly media session that that he's you know,

333
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,200
saying for well, yeah, he wants fansy here because it's

334
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,720
intended for everybody in the building to hear it. And

335
00:15:04,759 --> 00:15:06,919
you can you can just tell he prepares and he

336
00:15:06,919 --> 00:15:09,759
thinks about everything, and he's thoughtful. So when he's out

337
00:15:09,759 --> 00:15:11,759
there talking about you know, the business things to do

338
00:15:11,799 --> 00:15:13,840
a line and you know he's looking at his options

339
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,759
and his door is open. I thank him at his word.

340
00:15:16,919 --> 00:15:18,759
I don't think he just says those things. And every

341
00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:21,600
other time this put track is aspiring, like there wasn't

342
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,480
that stuff he wasn't going on, you know, Ay Adams

343
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,279
Show and doing these press scores, and you know, I

344
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,639
think it's all very intentional. I don't think the doors

345
00:15:29,639 --> 00:15:31,600
closed on him coming back. I think he'd be open

346
00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:34,240
to coming back. But I do think that you know,

347
00:15:34,279 --> 00:15:38,679
he's looking for just that that right combination of situation,

348
00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:44,279
playing time, coach, money, opportunity. And I also think, you know,

349
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,879
he's very aware that he's you know, in the backside

350
00:15:47,919 --> 00:15:50,600
of his thirties, he's stacked up a lot of accolades

351
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,360
and he's probably right on that touch to getting into

352
00:15:53,399 --> 00:15:56,440
the Hall of Fame and another all Proud would probably

353
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,879
do it. And you know, if you're playing for you know,

354
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,039
I let the Rams. Like, if you're playing for the

355
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,000
Rams and you're on Monday Night football, Sunday night football,

356
00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:06,879
you're in the playoffs, Chris palins Worth saying your name

357
00:16:06,919 --> 00:16:09,120
every night when everybody, you know, all the voters are

358
00:16:09,159 --> 00:16:13,039
watching and you're making plays and they're highlighting you, I

359
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,639
think the odds of getting those accolagues goes up a

360
00:16:15,679 --> 00:16:17,600
little bit. And you know, I think that fit where

361
00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:20,960
he's at. I think he's he's at that legacy point

362
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,600
in the Saints are on the up and up, and

363
00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:26,600
look going back to him being intentional, like him constantly

364
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,879
talking about how it was the happiest he's been playing

365
00:16:28,919 --> 00:16:31,679
football in a long time. Like, I think that means

366
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,120
a lot too. I think he really enjoyed playing for

367
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,440
Brandon Staley, and I think things with the previous regime

368
00:16:37,559 --> 00:16:39,720
kind of you know, started to wear out and it

369
00:16:39,799 --> 00:16:41,519
took the joy out of the game a little bit,

370
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,720
so I think, you know him feeling that like probably

371
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,639
as to his ability to chase out on Jesse. So

372
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,679
I think there's a lot of things about here that

373
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,679
he likes. But I also think that he's definitely open

374
00:16:51,759 --> 00:16:54,679
to the opportunity elsewhere. And I just think he's too

375
00:16:54,679 --> 00:16:57,200
good of a player, and I think he's he's someone

376
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,679
that could definitely help the contender get over the hum.

377
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,559
So I disrespect his game too much to assume that

378
00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:05,440
that good offer isn't going to come. So my guests

379
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,480
would be that he goes. But you know, I think

380
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,400
the door is definitely open both ways.

381
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 4: Nick Conderhill of New Orleans Dot Football. Nick, thanks so

382

New Orleans Saints. We're going to take a quick time

Speaker 4: All right, welcome back in tuesday edition of Off the Bench,

438
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,640
Tyler Tarump here with you, Elandravillarrial Braxton.

439
00:20:38,599 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 5: Risuto here as well.

440
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 4: Well, guys, Lane Kiffin wins again because it was reported

441
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:51,319
on Friday, reports its surface that safety's coach Jake Olsen

442
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,920
would leave LSU to become the safety's coach with the

443
00:20:55,039 --> 00:20:59,359
Washington Commanders. Well, yesterday afternoon, Pete Nacos of one three

444
00:21:00,039 --> 00:21:03,799
reported that Olson will remain with the Tigers on the

445
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:04,839
coaching staff.

446
00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:06,839
Speaker 5: Again.

447
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 4: It's just another win for Lane Kiff. I mean, think

448
00:21:09,279 --> 00:21:12,119
about it. Shortly after Kiffin got this job. I mean

449
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,960
it was just a few days before that early signing period.

450
00:21:15,279 --> 00:21:18,720
And remember all the talk was Labar Brown, Richard Anderson.

451
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,880
Are they going to sign in the early signing period

452
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,880
or are they going to wait? The reason they were

453
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,200
considering waiting was because the status of Blake Baker was

454
00:21:26,279 --> 00:21:28,200
up in the area it interviewed for the two lane

455
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,319
head coaching job. Everyone here really expected Blake Baker to

456
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,519
take that job. Well, at the last second, Lane Kiffin

457
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,400
convinced him one way or the other to stay here.

458
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,519
In Ben rude. So Blake Baker back as LSU defensive coordinator.

459
00:21:42,799 --> 00:21:46,480
That means that Corey Raymond stays. That means that Jake Olsen,

460
00:21:46,519 --> 00:21:50,839
who came with Blake Baker from Missouri, is over here.

461
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,079
I mean, basically, your entire defensive staff stayed outside of

462
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,319
your D line coach because Blake Baker did not take

463
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,279
that two lane job, and he goes far beyond the

464
00:22:02,319 --> 00:22:07,559
coaching staff. Lane Kiffin said at his press conference a

465
00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:10,799
few weeks ago recapping the entire signing class, whether it

466
00:22:10,839 --> 00:22:13,720
was the transfer portal to high school players back in

467
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,920
you know, about three weeks ago that he was asked

468
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,759
the question, why did you feel the need to follow

469
00:22:20,799 --> 00:22:24,240
Sam Levitt to Knoxville and talk to him one more time?

470
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 5: And then Kiffin was very blunt.

471
00:22:27,079 --> 00:22:29,799
Speaker 4: He said, you know, I really thought I should have

472
00:22:29,839 --> 00:22:31,920
sealed the deal and not let him leave Van Rouge

473
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,759
without committing. I wasn't able to do that, and I

474
00:22:34,839 --> 00:22:37,039
realized my mistake, so I flew out to Knoxville to

475
00:22:37,079 --> 00:22:40,079
talk to him. Kiffin said, I don't like being told no.

476
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,960
When someone tells me no, it only makes me want

477
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,640
to keep going even more so he did that with

478
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,880
Sam Levitt he went up to Knoxville. He talked to him, Boom,

479
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,960
Sam Levittson Ulshu Tiger. He did it with Blake Baker.

480
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,880
He talked to Baker. Baker pulled his name out of

481
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,960
contention for the two lane job, and he convinced the

482
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,480
other two quarterbacks after sam Levitt side like you got

483
00:23:06,519 --> 00:23:08,480
Landon Clark and sam Levitt pretty much.

484
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:08,759
Speaker 5: Back to back.

485
00:23:08,759 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 4: Clark was actually first, but it was within about a

486
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,799
twenty four hour window of each other. And then you

487
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,039
still convinced Hussan Longstreet from USC to come over. There's

488
00:23:18,079 --> 00:23:19,759
a lot of schools who's on Long Street could have

489
00:23:19,759 --> 00:23:22,200
went to that had a much easier path, a much

490
00:23:22,279 --> 00:23:25,119
less competitive path to the field, to that starting job.

491
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,640
But Lane Kiffin has a way of convincing people, Hey

492
00:23:29,039 --> 00:23:31,519
buy into my vision. There's a chance we do special

493
00:23:31,559 --> 00:23:35,319
things here. And Jake Olsen's just the latest pulls his

494
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,160
name out of contention to be the safety's coach with

495
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,480
the Washington Commanders.

496
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,559
Speaker 5: We saw this with Charlie Wysh Jr.

497
00:23:43,079 --> 00:23:45,279
Speaker 4: Remember Charlie White Junior was going back and forth between

498
00:23:45,279 --> 00:23:47,880
Ole Miss and LSU due to the playoff run, and

499
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,720
Tiger fans were like Okay, well, when he's done with

500
00:23:50,759 --> 00:23:53,480
the old miss Rod, he'll come over here. Then multiple

501
00:23:53,599 --> 00:23:56,559
NFL teams he was linked to them for the offensive

502
00:23:56,599 --> 00:23:58,920
coordinator position. A lot of people thought he was going

503
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,319
to take that Pittsburgh Steel offensive coordinator position.

504
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 5: And what does Charlie Wise Jr.

505
00:24:03,079 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: Do.

506
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 4: He ultimately pulls his name out and wants to stay

507
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,480
here at LSU. To me, that shows the buy in

508
00:24:10,039 --> 00:24:13,079
of everyone involved. You got Baker to stay. Baker turned

509
00:24:13,079 --> 00:24:16,200
down a head coaching job. Charlie Wise Junior turned down

510
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,119
the same position, but in the NFL most people would

511
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,799
consider that a step up. Jake Olsen turned down the

512
00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:26,400
same position, but in the NFL, all of them to

513
00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:30,519
come back and work under Lane Kiffin because they all

514
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,240
going in the same direction.

515
00:24:32,279 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 5: They all believe in this goal.

516
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 4: He got Sam Levitt to leave and come back to

517
00:24:36,079 --> 00:24:38,960
LSU after you let him leave this building without committee.

518
00:24:39,039 --> 00:24:42,000
You landed not one, not two, but three quarterbacks who

519
00:24:42,039 --> 00:24:44,519
probably could have went to all other programs and started.

520
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,880
But they have that much belief in Lane Kiffin and

521
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,519
what he's building here in Baton Rouge and this system

522
00:24:49,559 --> 00:24:52,200
he is putting in place to take a chance and say, hey,

523
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:53,920
I'll push that down the road a little bit.

524
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,519
Speaker 5: I'll kick that can down the road.

525
00:24:56,599 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 4: I'm gonna come in here and I'm gonna see what

526
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,319
we got here in Baton Rouge. And I think that's huge,

527
00:25:01,599 --> 00:25:04,759
Like safety's coach, you know, safeties coach. Like some schools

528
00:25:04,759 --> 00:25:06,440
don't even have a safety coach. Some schools will just

529
00:25:06,519 --> 00:25:08,440
do the dB coach, like Corey Raymond did that here

530
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,880
for a while. Corey Raymond was not always just corners coach.

531
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,279
He was the dB coach. So you could say, okay,

532
00:25:14,319 --> 00:25:17,200
well you didn't lose the safety coach, a great it's

533
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,119
always nice to have him back. You could replace him,

534
00:25:19,559 --> 00:25:21,279
or even if you don't, Raymond could just be the

535
00:25:21,319 --> 00:25:25,680
dB coach. But it's bigger than that. You've convinced multiple

536
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,880
people like Kayden Durham pulled his name out of the portal.

537
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,519
Harlan Barry announced he was coming back to school. That's

538
00:25:32,599 --> 00:25:34,799
when losing your running backs coach Frank Wilson to an

539
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,279
SEC rival in Ole, miss. Both of those guys decided

540
00:25:38,319 --> 00:25:41,519
to stay here at LSU. There were multiple guys that

541
00:25:41,599 --> 00:25:44,000
put their names in the portal and came right back out.

542
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,559
Speaker 5: I mean, I think like to me.

543
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,039
Speaker 4: Kyle Parker was a big loss in the portal that

544
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,039
one hurt, and a Carrius Kern. You would have liked

545
00:25:53,079 --> 00:25:56,559
to have kept both of them. Outside of those guys,

546
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,559
you didn't lose any of your big time players in

547
00:26:01,599 --> 00:26:04,279
the transfer port and the ones that did enter came back.

548
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,240
I mean Treda's Green was one of the first people

549
00:26:07,279 --> 00:26:10,279
to announced he was coming back. DJ Pickett coming back.

550
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,359
Like you had the cornerstone. You had the big name

551
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:17,400
pieces of this program all buy into Lane Kiffin, and

552
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,559
now the coaches are doing it as well. Whether it's

553
00:26:19,559 --> 00:26:24,400
Blake Baker, whether it's Charlie Weis Junior, whether it's Jay Colson.

554
00:26:26,519 --> 00:26:28,279
All of these guys have such a big buy in

555
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,319
because they believe in what Lane Kiffin is doing here

556
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,759
in Baton Rouge. You love to see it. As an

557
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,319
LSU fan, you gotta be excited because the guys in

558
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,279
that built again, the returning players, whether it's a Leavitt

559
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,319
or a land In Clerk or who's on Long Street

560
00:26:42,759 --> 00:26:46,000
or now multiple coaches on this staff turning down positions

561
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,799
at other spots. And for like Blake Baker, that's a

562
00:26:47,799 --> 00:26:50,640
step up. Charlie Wis Jr. Like you had a chance

563
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,599
to be an NFL offensive coordinate. Same with Jake Colson.

564
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,279
That's an NFL job. A lot of people would love

565
00:26:57,319 --> 00:27:01,000
to have those jobs, all of them to return to

566
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,480
LSU for one reason or another. And I think it

567
00:27:03,519 --> 00:27:05,960
all boils down to Lane Kiffin and what he's building

568
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,279
here in Beton Rouge. A. Right, we'll take a time out,

569
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,559
we get back. We just got a few more segments

570
00:27:10,599 --> 00:27:12,480
left on this Tuesday. We'll talk a little Saints. We

571
00:27:12,519 --> 00:27:14,680
got a new team joining the Mountain West. It's a

572
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,440
big time name that you're probably pretty familiar with if

573
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,279
you follow college football. And then we'll close it out

574
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,480
with ask the Bench. That's all coming up next here

575
00:27:21,519 --> 00:27:24,039

581
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,880

601
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 7: In the end, Well, speaking of diving in, we'd like

602
00:28:56,359 --> 00:29:01,000
to dive into a Russell pool because when you see

It is always pull season here in Louisiana. But this

610
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,880

611
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,880

Tigers trust them as well.

615
00:29:41,319 --> 00:29:43,400

dot Com.

620
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,599
Speaker 4: Welcome back in Tuesday edition of OOTB We got about

621
00:29:57,599 --> 00:30:03,799
two more segments left landra Bangers today. It reminds me

622
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,400
of like all these different eighties movie soundtracks. It's incredible

623
00:30:08,559 --> 00:30:10,599
eighties Tuesday. You know what I was listening to the

624
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,279
other day of all bands Abba?

625
00:30:14,319 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 9: I mean, they're like having a resurgence.

626
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,039
Speaker 5: Are they really? I didn't even know that though, I

627
00:30:19,039 --> 00:30:20,039
don't know. I went to.

628
00:30:22,559 --> 00:30:26,559
Speaker 9: Chelsea's Yeah, just randomly, and I didn't know that it

629
00:30:26,599 --> 00:30:29,279
was like a themed night or anything like that, and

630
00:30:29,279 --> 00:30:33,759
it was like they were playing Abba basically, I think

631
00:30:33,759 --> 00:30:36,079
it was like a disco or a seventies vend or something,

632
00:30:36,559 --> 00:30:38,799
and they were playing Abba and like all the kids

633
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,079
knew all the words to it, and I was like,

634
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:42,359
where are y'all getting this from?

635
00:30:42,519 --> 00:30:44,359
Speaker 5: Right? Like, that doesn't seem like a band that gets

636
00:30:44,359 --> 00:30:45,160
talked about a lot.

637
00:30:45,279 --> 00:30:46,359
Speaker 3: I guess Mama Mia.

638
00:30:47,039 --> 00:30:49,319
Speaker 4: So when I was younger, we wouldn't sell Mama Mia.

639
00:30:49,359 --> 00:30:51,799
And then like you know, it was like, okay whatever,

640
00:30:52,079 --> 00:30:54,799
And looking back on it, I'm like they had one

641
00:30:54,839 --> 00:30:57,759
band of an entire movie just based off of their songs. Yeah,

642
00:30:57,799 --> 00:31:00,960
like that that's pretty because it wasn't a biopics based

643
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:01,559
off Abba.

644
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,559
Speaker 5: It's just I mean, that's pretty cool.

645
00:31:03,599 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 4: Like the other day, I was washing dishes and Victoria

646
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,759
witten home, so I was like, I'm putt my headphones

647
00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:09,319
on and have some.

648
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 5: Some Abba come up. I listened to Abba for like

649
00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:12,039
an hour.

650
00:31:12,839 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 4: I mean, you want to talk about some good songs

651
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,200
there with Abba, and like, what I like about them

652
00:31:17,319 --> 00:31:19,640
is like every song's different, but they also have their

653
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,559
own unique sound. At the same time, great agreed and

654
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,079
listen to some more Abba. Okay, right now, I wanted

655
00:31:27,119 --> 00:31:29,000
to bring this up for a little bit just hit

656
00:31:29,079 --> 00:31:32,119
on this for just just a few minutes here. North

657
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,839
Dakota State football is going to join the Mountain West.

658
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,519
Now this is football only pretty much immediately. It's going

659
00:31:39,559 --> 00:31:42,799
to take into effect July twenty twenty six, so they

660
00:31:42,839 --> 00:31:46,359
will be in the Mountain West for the foreseeable future

661
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,720
in football only. And you know, a lot of people

662
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,160
look at this and be like, oh, yeah, okay, it's

663
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,119
a it's an FCS school moving up a level of competition.

664
00:31:54,519 --> 00:31:56,039
Speaker 5: We've seen it before, Like we've seen it the other

665
00:31:56,039 --> 00:31:56,480
way too.

666
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,559
Speaker 4: Idaho the Vandals, you know, they couldn't quite compete on

667
00:32:00,599 --> 00:32:01,359
the FBS level.

668
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 5: They move down a level.

669
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 4: They're kind of an FCS power right now. So mean,

670
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:07,440
we've seen it the other way, but I mean a

671
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,440
lot of recent memory. James Madison's done this, Coastal Carolina,

672
00:32:10,519 --> 00:32:14,240
did this, Missouri State, Delaware State, like there's been some

673
00:32:14,319 --> 00:32:17,079
teams Sacramento State as in the process of doing that

674
00:32:17,119 --> 00:32:19,799
as well. But North Dakota State moving up to me

675
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,079
is interesting. Like every time I look at North Dakota

676
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,720
State on someone's schedule, on like a big name program schedule,

677
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,519
like why are you scheduling North Dakota State Because they're

678
00:32:28,559 --> 00:32:32,240
an absolute wagon, Like, don't schedule North Dakota State.

679
00:32:32,799 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 5: North Dakota State has.

680
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,079
Speaker 4: Ten Division one national championships between twenty eleven and twenty

681
00:32:38,119 --> 00:32:38,559
twenty five.

682
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 5: I mean that's a fourteen year period.

683
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 4: They had eight titles in a nine year period from

684
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,920
twenty eleven to twenty nineteen, and then they had another

685
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,519
in twenty twenty one another in twenty twenty four. This

686
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,000
is not your run of the mill program, like, oh,

687
00:32:54,039 --> 00:32:55,799
you know they're gonna this is cute. They're gonna try

688
00:32:55,839 --> 00:32:58,759
to move up a level of competition. The Mountain West

689
00:32:58,759 --> 00:33:03,039
better watch out. I mean, because they've had sustained success

690
00:33:03,079 --> 00:33:05,319
for a number of years. A number of their coaches

691
00:33:05,599 --> 00:33:10,440
have gotten bigger jobs and they've they've still done this.

692
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,160
They've went to a turnstyle of coaches. Think about all

693
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,559
the quarterbacks that have come through there. Carson Wentz was

694
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,519
the number two pick out of North Dakota State, and

695
00:33:18,599 --> 00:33:20,799
before he messed up his knee in Philadelphia, he probably

696
00:33:20,839 --> 00:33:24,200
would have been the MVP of the NFL that year. Now,

697
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,799
he never quite rebounded properly from that from an injury.

698
00:33:27,839 --> 00:33:29,799
But I mean, look, Carson Wentz has had a solid

699
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,400
NFL career, and he was a really good NFL starter

700
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,599
for a number of years. He comes out of North

701
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,400
Dakota State. Trey Lance, I mean, his NFL career hasn't

702
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:39,799
worked out like a lot of people thought it would.

703
00:33:39,839 --> 00:33:42,839
But he was the number three pick. Yeah, he's bounced

704
00:33:42,839 --> 00:33:46,039
around team to team, But I mean, forty nine ers

705
00:33:46,039 --> 00:33:48,759
sold the farm to get Trey Lance. We always talk

706
00:33:48,799 --> 00:33:51,000
about it saying, hey, they're lucky they hit on brock

707
00:33:51,039 --> 00:33:52,799
Party in the seventh round because they gave up a

708
00:33:52,839 --> 00:33:54,599
lot to move up to number three, and it was

709
00:33:54,599 --> 00:33:58,759
specifically to take Trey Lance. Christian Watson with the Packers,

710
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,240
he was a second round pick. He's a really good

711
00:34:01,319 --> 00:34:03,480
NFL receiver. He set some injury issues, but when he's

712
00:34:03,519 --> 00:34:06,519
out there, he's as good as anybody on the field.

713
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,159
This is a program that you got to watch out for.

714
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,719
I mean, this is not your your run of the mill. Oh,

715
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,039
let me see if we can make something happen here

716
00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:18,760
and try to move up. They're going to be They're

717
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,079
going to be a problem for the Mountain West, I think.

718
00:34:23,519 --> 00:34:24,159
Speaker 5: For a while.

719
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 4: I mean just this year at the Senior Bowl, Jacob

720
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,280
Matt interviewed Cole Payton he's one of the good performers

721
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,800
at quarterback. He's a North Dakota State guy. The Tama

722
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,719
Bay Buccaneers have Cody Mout starting on their offensive line.

723
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,239
North Dakota State guy. I mean, this is a school

724
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,079
that time and time again just continues to churn out

725
00:34:42,079 --> 00:34:44,360
an fl talent. When you know, I heard a lot

726
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,760
of people when when Idaho moved down from FBFS to

727
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,880
FCS a few years back, everybody said, oh, this is

728
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,760
gonna be good for them. They can't compete in the FBS.

729
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,400
They're gonna be a lot stronger of a program.

730
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 5: I get it.

731
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 4: I think this is a great move for North Dakota

732
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,480
State and they're gonna get extra money out of this deal.

733
00:35:02,159 --> 00:35:04,960
I mean, you know, it's not a power for conference,

734
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,320
but I mean the Mountain West has been around for

735
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,159
a long time for some good programs in the Mountain West,

736
00:35:11,119 --> 00:35:13,519
and I think North Dakota State's gonna come in right

737
00:35:13,559 --> 00:35:14,480
away and compete.

738
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,079
Speaker 5: This is a team to look out for.

739
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 4: Like again, Sacramento States in the process of doing this

740
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,320
as well, moving up and they're gonna try to move

741
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,639
up in football first, but they hope to have multiple

742
00:35:24,679 --> 00:35:27,440
sports move up. North Dakota State. They're ready to go

743
00:35:27,519 --> 00:35:30,760
right now. I mean up in Fargo, they love this team.

744
00:35:31,519 --> 00:35:33,880
You've ever seen a game inside the Fargo Dome on TV.

745
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,840
I've obviously never been in person, but that place is rocky.

746
00:35:37,159 --> 00:35:39,679
That's one of the toughest places to play. I mean,

747
00:35:39,679 --> 00:35:42,679
I remember when I was at Southeastern in a really

748
00:35:42,679 --> 00:35:45,039
good year. One season they make it to the postseason.

749
00:35:45,039 --> 00:35:47,400
Everybody's like, Okay, all roads, all roads leads to the

750
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:48,000
Fargo Dome.

751
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 5: Get ready.

752
00:35:49,159 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 4: If you want to make the National Championship, you got

753
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,000
to go through the Fargo Dome. And I mean they've

754
00:35:53,039 --> 00:35:55,440
been the gold standard on that level of ball for

755
00:35:55,519 --> 00:35:57,559
quite some time now. I mean schools have caught up

756
00:35:57,559 --> 00:36:01,679
to him, like Montana, Montana State in Illinois State like

757
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,400
teams have caught up to them. But I think this

758
00:36:04,519 --> 00:36:07,400
is a huge move for the Mountain West because despite

759
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,760
the fact that their FCS, that's a huge brand that

760
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,480
everybody knows about. You have a lot of big time

761
00:36:12,559 --> 00:36:14,960
NFL players that have went through that school. I think

762
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,599
that is a big time move for the Mountain West.

763
00:36:17,639 --> 00:36:20,000
We'll see how they compete, how long it takes them

764
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,880
to adjust. Again, I kind of think it's gonna happen

765
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,840
right away. But I mean, I am really excited to

766
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,440
see what North Dakota State can do in the Mountain West.

767
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:34,639
Remember they played Colorado opening game of the year two

768
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,239
years ago, and I mean there were people picking Colorado,

769
00:36:37,679 --> 00:36:39,440
I mean Northdakota State to win that game, and they.

770
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 5: Almost did, and probably should have. Colorado came back.

771
00:36:42,079 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 4: They won that game. I think it was about a

772
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,760
four or five point win, kind of a come from

773
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,159
behind winning overtime. But North Dakota State had them on

774
00:36:48,159 --> 00:36:50,559
the ropes. They beating a number of big time programs.

775
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,800
This is a big time get for the Mountain West,

776
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,639
and I think North Dakota State is a team to

777
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,039
keep an eye on coming up here in the near future.

778
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,320
All Right, we'll take a time out. We'll close this

779
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,880
thing out like we do every day. Get your questions

780
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,360

We'll close up today like we do every day. A

787
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,960
little bit of ask the bench. First one here, ask

788
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,480
the bench, favorite Marty Girl throw to catch?

789
00:37:41,199 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 5: First off? Wondro w what'd you catch at Spanish tap?

790
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 9: Mostly just beads. That one jello shot that I took

791
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,679
from the float. Let this man just inject one into

792
00:37:52,679 --> 00:37:55,920
my mouth. I don't know why I did that. I

793
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,880
got some cups, but they were mostly just beats.

794
00:38:00,039 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 5: I like the light up beads, and they got like

795
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,280
the little like the mortar girl hat or something. Yeah,

796
00:38:05,559 --> 00:38:06,159
I like those.

797
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,679
Speaker 6: I wish I went to the one this last weekend finish.

798
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the one where Drew Brees was.

799
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,599
Speaker 5: Oh he was?

800
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,639
Speaker 9: It seemed like there was it No never mind because

801
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,320
Lane was in Demian.

802
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,760
Speaker 5: Speaking of leads us right to the next one. Ask

803
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,239
the bench. Would you rather be on a float with

804
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:27,559
Drew Brees or Lane Kiffin?

805
00:38:27,679 --> 00:38:31,199
Speaker 6: Drew Brees, Lane Kiffin sober, Yeah, I mean Drew Brees

806
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,039
is now orland like in.

807
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,679
Speaker 4: Case, I'm gonna go a little That's true. So like

808
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,480
for me, like a lot of Saints fan, I'm not

809
00:38:39,639 --> 00:38:41,360
I'm gonna go Lane Kiff because I'm a lot bigger

810
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:42,760
LSU fan than i am a Saints fan.

811
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,760
Speaker 5: So like like would I pester Lane Kiffing a lot more?

812
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably, he'd probably want to get rid of me

813
00:38:48,559 --> 00:38:50,800
by about ten minutes. But uh yeah, No, I'm picking

814
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,039
Lane Kiffin just because I mean, my l shoe ties

815
00:38:53,079 --> 00:38:56,360
are a lot bigger than my Saints on just like chunking,

816
00:38:56,519 --> 00:38:59,000
Like that's somebody. I want to be on the parade

817
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,679
float with Tyler Shuck.

818
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,280
Speaker 5: You kidding me? You see him walking?

819
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,599
Speaker 4: He was so before that parade, Like I know, the

820
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,679
video went went viral of him chucking the beads of people,

821
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,440
but before that, he was just walking down the street

822
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,960
with everybody else, carrying a case of a beer in

823
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,159
one hand and a King Cake in the like are

824
00:39:16,199 --> 00:39:20,039
you kidding me? From Derek Carr saying his favorite restaurant

825
00:39:20,079 --> 00:39:23,360
in New Orleans with Chipotle to Tyler Shuck rocking the

826
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,519
King Cake, carried a case of beer and pelted people

827
00:39:25,519 --> 00:39:27,360
with beads like you want to talk about a one

828
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,320
eighty and like you could see it, like the vibes

829
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:30,679
are so much higher.

830
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 5: New Orleans, right, depend on that?

831
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 4: That's my answer. I'm taking an option three. I'm going

832
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,400
Tyler Shuck. I want to be on a I want

833
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:43,079
to be on a parade float with Tyler Shuck. Ask

834
00:39:43,159 --> 00:39:45,880
the bitch, what is wrong with a closet nursery? Guys,

835
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:48,119
it's not big enough.

836
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,159
Speaker 9: Do you really need that much space for a baby?

837
00:39:51,679 --> 00:39:55,199
Speaker 4: Well, what's the whole like dresser next to it with

838
00:39:55,199 --> 00:39:58,360
the changing table on top. Yeah, and then so I mean,

839
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,960
like a lot of these things coming sets, like it's

840
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,079
not just a crib. You would think it's just a crib.

841
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,320
It probably should be just a crib, it's not. Most

842
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:06,880
of these are going to come in sets where it's

843
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,519
like a crib. You got a dresser with a built

844
00:40:09,519 --> 00:40:12,360
in changing table on top, and then a second dresser

845
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,840
on the other side, Like it's a decent sized closet.

846
00:40:16,639 --> 00:40:20,280
You know, I don't think all blank Space Razor Sharp's

847
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,360
gonna be able to uh to make that.

848
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 5: Happen after me.

849
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go. His first name would be blank space.

850
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,280
Speaker 9: Your middle name is uh is okay, So you know

851
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,800
what I was thinking about. I forgot to mention this.

852
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:37,119
So I listened to I watched the game on TV

853
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,000
on or yesterday, right the base the baseball game. So

854
00:40:40,039 --> 00:40:42,519
I got to listen to Ben and Lynn on the call,

855
00:40:43,079 --> 00:40:45,039
and I texted y'all yesterday, and I was like, what

856
00:40:45,159 --> 00:40:47,880
are Ben and Lynn even talking about? Is this how

857
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,679
people feel listening to OTV? Like I didn't hate it,

858
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,559
but I was like, is this how people feel when

859
00:40:53,559 --> 00:40:54,440
they listened to us?

860
00:40:54,559 --> 00:40:57,039
Speaker 5: That was the tripod? Was the tri sure?

861
00:40:57,199 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 9: And then also he said, wait what did he say they? Lynn?

862
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:07,320
I think it was whenever Mylam threw to first and

863
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,440
York had that pick, he was like, that place needs

864
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,280
to go straight to Broadway. And I was like, that's elite.

865
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,039
I hadn't heard that one before from Lynn, but that's

866
00:41:17,039 --> 00:41:17,760
a great one.

867
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 5: Lynn like has so many sayings and he and he

868
00:41:22,159 --> 00:41:26,079
very rarely repeats the sayings like he's got to roll again,

869
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:27,079
set to pucker up.

870
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,039
Speaker 4: He does puck her up every run, but that's also

871
00:41:30,079 --> 00:41:32,360
kind of becomes his signature now, I kind of.

872
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:33,639
Speaker 5: Over pucker up.

873
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:37,159
Speaker 9: Is oversaturate?

874
00:41:38,039 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 5: Saturate the pucker up? You can't.

875
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 4: We had this, Me and Braxent had this conversation right

876
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,480
before the show. Not a Rollins guy.

877
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 9: I like Lynn Rollins like Liz.

878
00:41:49,679 --> 00:41:50,079
Speaker 5: I get it.

879
00:41:50,119 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 4: I get that, I get the bucker up thing. But

880
00:41:52,039 --> 00:41:53,840
there's so many sayings like I'm trying to remember. I

881
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,440
think it was it was either Bo or Bryce. I

882
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,559
think it was Bryce and Jordan that that took all

883
00:41:58,599 --> 00:42:01,360
the hits they hit by pitches back when you could

884
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:02,960
still lean into him. I think he like set the

885
00:42:03,039 --> 00:42:07,119
NCAA single season record or something like that. And uh,

886
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,360
he got hit, didn't even flinch, went down to first base,

887
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,320
and Lynn Rolin said, he's as tough as a green

888
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:13,079
pine cone.

889
00:42:13,559 --> 00:42:14,559
Speaker 3: Some of it doesn't make sense.

890
00:42:14,639 --> 00:42:17,039
Speaker 5: Well, no, that one's that one's perfect. That fine because

891
00:42:17,039 --> 00:42:17,960
you stop and thinking.

892
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 4: You're like, yeah, you ever pick up a green pine cone?

893
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,519
Do you realize how hard a green pine coon is?

894
00:42:22,559 --> 00:42:25,880
Like that's perfect because like he gives good ones, but

895
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,440
they're also like kind of thought provoking, Like.

896
00:42:28,599 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 6: You heard the one about Jake Brown when he got hot,

897
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:32,440
like hit his second home run.

898
00:42:33,199 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 9: Wait, no, what was it?

899
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,039
Speaker 6: I think was like he hit the second home run

900
00:42:37,119 --> 00:42:40,719
and Lynn was said, uh, he's hotter than a fire

901
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,199
on a ever blister.

902
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 5: Bro, that's elite, I know, but I like.

903
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,679
Speaker 9: Right hot. And this one's so obvious, like that play

904
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,559
needs to go straight to Broadway. That's obvious. But I

905
00:42:53,679 --> 00:42:55,880
never thought to say that he's got too.

906
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,639
Speaker 5: Much time during the Dude, they're so good.

907
00:43:00,039 --> 00:43:02,159
Speaker 4: I mean what's the what's the one used to bring

908
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:06,559
up the blue stars? The color of like something gatorade? Yeah,

909
00:43:06,639 --> 00:43:08,800
the blue geacier glacier gatorade?

910
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 3: Is that new?

911
00:43:10,119 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 6: When he comes up with like a different like colors

912
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,199
of the sky like before, like when the game starts,

913
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,840
that's what That's what we're talking about, or that always

914
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:18,239
been a thing.

915
00:43:18,639 --> 00:43:21,599
Speaker 5: He's still a few times. Yeah, he's he's done that

916
00:43:21,639 --> 00:43:25,480
a few times. I think Len's of treasure. I mean,

917
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:27,400
so I was listening.

918
00:43:27,159 --> 00:43:29,639
Speaker 9: To are we talking about the vernal equinox yesterday?

919
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 5: I was wondering, and I was like, this is so.

920
00:43:32,519 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 9: O t B coded. I'm like, this is how people

921
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,320
feel when they listen to us. Like that was fine.

922
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,280
I didn't care. I thought it was funny. But I'm like,

923
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,119
what are they even talking about right now?

924
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 4: You want to get Flynn locked into l SU Baseball,

925
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,119
Give him that broadcast, Matt Flynn be all over that.

926
00:43:48,199 --> 00:43:51,440
Like I was listening to the radio call uh yesterday

927
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,679
evening because I was out and about. But yeah, I

928
00:43:53,719 --> 00:44:01,039
called I called Lynn game three, uh most of the game.

929
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,199
Game three is the one that I called him the most,

930
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,880
and I mean just incredible stuff, like him and Ben

931
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,000
are great together because like Ben's normally like, you know,

932
00:44:09,079 --> 00:44:12,119
to the point analytical guy, but Lynn brings out the

933
00:44:12,159 --> 00:44:16,280
personality and Ben as well, like Ben's Ben is really

934
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:22,199
really good. Here's an ask the bench question. Are you

935
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,360
a neutral ground or sidewalk person? I'm assuming you mean

936
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:29,480
where you stand for the parade. I'm sidewalk. I'm not

937
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,960
big on the neutral ground because you got a cross

938
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,079
to get there and back. I'll park on the same

939
00:44:34,159 --> 00:44:36,039
side of the road as I am on the sidewalk

940
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,960
a lot easier in and out. Again, this is coming

941
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,199
from someone who's not a parade person. So as much

942
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,199
convenience as I could possibly get, That's what I'm going

943
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,679
to go with. And I went to a Christmas parade

944
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:54,639
out in Denim back in December. But I'm done Marty

945
00:44:54,639 --> 00:44:57,559
Girl parade in a number of years. Guys, kindcakes are

946
00:44:57,559 --> 00:44:59,480
about to go away. I think today is the last day?

947
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:00,599
Speaker 1: Is it?

948
00:45:00,599 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 5: I'm gonna have to go pick one off. But still,

949
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,440
you know, like Victoria's not big into.

950
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:06,679
Speaker 3: Sweets right now, what's your favorite?

951
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:08,519
Speaker 5: Just strawberry cream cheese.

952
00:45:08,519 --> 00:45:10,760
Speaker 4: As far as the filling, like I gotta have some filling,

953
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,719
like I have this This really really. It's apparently hot

954
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:16,960
take because most people I know love the plain cinnamon.

955
00:45:17,119 --> 00:45:19,480
I think if you eat a plain cinnamon kancake, like

956
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:21,519
you just like a crappy cinnamon.

957
00:45:21,199 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 6: Roll, you've had a banana quiddon, dude.

958
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,519
Speaker 4: I've had pretty much all of them, but I like

959
00:45:26,599 --> 00:45:29,239
the I like the strawberry cream cheese, so like still

960
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,760
a traditional but not too basic to wear. It's just

961
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,639
a dry and there's no filling, like all the same

962
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,760
people who are like I just like the cinnamon unfilled.

963
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 5: That's all fuugh take. You gotta have a filling in

964
00:45:40,519 --> 00:45:43,840
the middle. Strawberry cream cheese is elite.

965
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 4: Some of them are, but that's why you get the strawberry.

966
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,039
It's got a little bit of the fruit flavor, sweetness.

967
00:45:47,519 --> 00:45:49,639
Speaker 3: With the cream cheesecake.

968
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:50,679
Speaker 5: See, I'm out on the show.

969
00:45:50,679 --> 00:45:51,039
Speaker 3: I don't know.

970
00:45:51,079 --> 00:45:51,599
Speaker 6: I haven't tried.

971
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 3: Heard a lot of hype about it.

972
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 4: Can be it can't be too fruity. That's why I

973
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,599
go the strawberry crea cheese. All right, guys, that's pretty

974
