Speaker 1: All start to it. You to presents. Off the bench
with Jacob Hester and t Bob Aber. Yeah yeah, yeah
yeah yeah, off the bench with Jacob Hester and Bob Aber.
Speaker 2: I gotta come off the bitch.
Speaker 1: Now here's Jacob Hester and T Bob a bear.
Speaker 3: Yo.
Speaker 2: What's going on y'all? It is Tuesday, nine am, which
means it's time to talk a little black and go
with our guy Nick Underhill, New Orleans stuff football, Nicholas.
What's up?
Speaker 1: Bro?
Speaker 2: What's going on? How we feeling in this beautiful Tuesday
win tree morning?
Speaker 3: Doing okay?
Speaker 4: Doing?
Speaker 3: Okay? How you guys doing?
Speaker 2: I'm doing great, dude, I feel good. Holiday season seems
to be in full swing here, you know, and decorated
the tree now you got your decies.
Speaker 3: Up last night? Put it up last night? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Hell yeah?
Speaker 2: Real tree? Fake tree?
Speaker 4: Oh, fake tree for sure. I got dogs so I
can have like the pine and everything all over that.
Speaker 2: I knew it. I need no, you gotta buy Why
were your dog's pee on the tree?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: They just get into everything and then like you can
get needleff.
Speaker 6: You don't have to explain yourself. If you want a
fake tree, you have a fake tree.
Speaker 2: Nick, I used to have a cat that would spray
all over the tree, and uh that was disgusting. One year,
all the presents were just covered in cats. People, But
if you've never smelled it before, is just rancid and
chimically like ammonia. Then we learned there's a type of
tree that is like sent free and you get that
and then do I'm spraying? Yeah? Crazy?
Speaker 3: All right, Well there you go there.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh are you more of a christ guy or
Halloween guys? I know you go hard on Halloween.
Speaker 4: Uh, probably probably more Halloween than than Christmas. Yeah, like
my wife's then to do so, like, you know, Christmas
is cool, but like it's kind of Halloween's more like
a shared holiday for us like that, you know, we
both kind of get into it a little bit. Uh,
I mean we both get into Christmas too, but it's
more uh more Halloween in our house on Christmas.
Speaker 2: Okay, Now this gets have been interesting because I've never
really thought about the the cultural relevance of of Christmas.
Maybe another cause, I mean, like I know, obviously Europe's
very into it. That's like where I guess so is
is your wife's family from India? Originally?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're from India.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chinna does does India have a relationship with Christmas?
Like do they do? They do they celebrate Christmas?
Speaker 4: I mean it's more like the Vali's like kind of
you know, the big the big holiday for them, uh
you know, and it's kind of fireworks and presents and
stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Uh you know.
Speaker 4: She she came over here when she was like ten,
so there is some relevance to it, but it's just
kind of more like I'm doing this like you type
of thing, like you know, I'm doing this because I'm here,
because everybody else does it. But yeah, I mean, you know,
Christmas in the religious part of it and all that
stuff like that doesn't really like have any meaning to
her her family I've.
Speaker 2: Never even heard. Yeah, it's fascinating, man. You learned some
new every single day on this or now you've give
me something to Wikipedia afterwards and start to explore.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's kind of cool, like you set off fireworks
and you get new stuff like it's it's it's not
about holiday.
Speaker 2: So like conceptually some similar undertones. What's the what what?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 2: What? Date is it?
Speaker 4: It's different every year and I'll screw it up if
I try to explain like how it falls. But I
think it's kind of like based on like you know,
I don't even know the right word, but like you know,
the stars and all that stuff. Like I think it's
just kind of it changes a year to year. So
you got to be ready for it, Like you got
to be ready for like bringing it into my life.
Like it isn't like, Okay, this happens on you know,
twenty fifth every year, Like you got to you got
to be ready for it. And you can screw up
if you are, if you are paying attention. So yeah,
you gotta be ready for it.
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest. Sounds like you're not ready. I
don't know, you don't know when it is.
Speaker 3: No, I stay ready, I stay ready. I stay at it.
Speaker 2: Okay, whatever you say, dude. Speaking of the New Orleans Saints,
man man, Sunday's game was weird because it felt like
there was so much good. There really was, but you
left a lot on the table in the first half.
It ends up coming back to bite you, and then
the disastrous finis with the Taysom Hill injury. But again,
it's had another time this year in which it was
on the edge of being the right, Falcons lose. If
you win the game, you're working behind you come out,
you're on fire. Defense plays awesome, like defense plays also
really the entire game. Offense is a lot of good things,
but just could not get across the finish. Like was
your biggest takeaway from Sunday?
Speaker 4: My biggest takeaway, I mean, coming right down to the
very last offensive play of the game, is I think
we kind of saw what Derek Carr is is a quarterback.
Speaker 3: He's somebody that you.
Speaker 4: Can win with, but you're not gonna win because and
I feel like at the end of the game that
was a win because moment where he had to do
something a little bit extra to buy a little bit
more time, to give Jan Johnson just that extra beat
of a second to get open to make a play,
to climb the pocket, to step up the slide, to
do something, and it just didn't kind of happen. And
it was three point nine seconds until Verse touched his arm,
Like that's enough time usually to get a pass up
with the routs, thing can come up and quick enough,
and they had to rely on him to make a
play and he couldn't do it. And you know, I
think that kind of just summed up the whole thing.
I don't necessarily super blame him, but yeah, I mean
that that's a play where you got to climb the
pocket and make a play and he didn't. That was
kind of my takeaway from it, And that kind of
leaves a little bit of a sour taste in your mouth,
I guess, walking away from it because you know what
he is and that that wasn't a surprise that he
couldn't elevate the team in that moment. But then you're
just sitting there and you're looking at it and they
just lose this game and they got four wins, and
you're looking at the future and it's kind of like,
what is the point of this? Where is it going?
Why are you doing this? How far can it go?
It's never going to get to where it should go.
And I thought that was just like a really discouraging
moment for a lot of reasons.
Speaker 3: You know, Grant takes. I agree with you. Beginning of
the game.
Speaker 4: I think they had the ball like the first fourteen
of the fifteen minutes, yeah, nineteen minutes almost overall in
the first half, and you walk out of that with
six points. That's not good enough. When they started to
take things away. I don't know that we necessarily saw
the offense have a counter punch. I don't know how
much of a counter punch we can expect when you're down,
you know, three offensive linemen again in the second half.
So that's a little bit tough tasting. They don't really find,
you know, a way there. It's just kind of I
don't know, it's just kind of it's just kind of discouraged.
That's like the little bit of idea of magic being
there with with Rizzy and maybe they go on this
like run. If they get this one, maybe they win
four in a row and then what like, I don't
know who cares, Like, you're just screwing up the draft
position at this point. On back to that, you know,
and I'm gonna I'm gonna go with the wind on that.
Every time they somehow beat the Packers and Commanders back
to back, I'll be all back in on chasing it.
But it just feels kind of pointless right now, like
it does. It just feels like playing out the string.
And it's kind of like, you know, just looking at
that calendar, like when can we start talking about the
off season, Like, let's get this thing rolling, because it
just feels like it feels a little bit. Man, I
don't want to go too dark on it, but like
it just feels like a little bit of like just
you know, playing out the string and wasting time a
little bit.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I definitely get that feeling as well.
Speaker 6: Nick, if you had to say though, like Okay, this
position group or this group of players is something that
in the future you can build around, you can build upon,
Like do they have that position group that you could
say that confidently right now? Like okay, if they just
keep this group intact, they can kind of build around them.
Speaker 3: Oh man, it's.
Speaker 4: Nothing on defense, So now it's nothing. Yeah, I mean
I was gonna work my way back to that.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 4: It's definitely nothing on defense. It's not the D line,
it's not linebacker. I mean, like the Mario's looking looking,
you know, like it's getting closer to the end. Safety's
tying went out. You saw the the problem. Every y
aren't building around a guy that's his age. Cornerbacks. I
thought it was spotty Coolly gave up that that long
reception to DeMarcus Robinson Alante. You know, I think he's
going to figure it out again on the outside, but
he gives he turns a six yard curl into a
nineteen yard game by missing the tackle on one the
to Puka going to offense. I mean, all your receivers
are hurt, so it's hard to feel optimistic about that.
I mean, there is young talent there, so maybe that's
in the mix a little bit, but it's definitely not
running back Alvin's thirty years old. Yeah, it's it's the
old line, I guess. I mean, like Penning has become serviceable,
Puaga is getting better. Eric McCoy is still a really
good player, even though you know, he's got some some
issues that I'm you know, I don't know, like I'm
worried about how that's going to play out long term.
But yeah, I don't know. I guess if you you
would go O line. And I don't feel great about
the old line. So the answers kind of no, like
they need everything right now.
Speaker 2: So what's interesting about that to me is is the
Clint Kubiak factor here offensively because he has been given
just a pile of crap for ingredients, right like like
Dorito's and maybe some some actually rideos to treaded cheese
is great, but like they gave him like Dorito's, like
expired mayonnaise and I don't know, some salts and we're like,
make something good out of this. And he's actually done
pretty well with these pieces. I mean, I was reading
your piece from a couple of days you were Mike's
I can't remember. But like you look at the Saints
offensive ranks, I don't know that there's a more impressive
team in the NFL from a what personnel are you
using to what statistical output are you getting? Uh? But
it just unfortunately, it just feels a bit like the
timing's just not right, Like maybe you're gonna look back,
you're like, man and what could have been? Who knows
what he's going to go on to do, But it
just feels is this is gonna end up with a
situation where it doesn't matter how good Kubiak does, there's
just no future here together.
Speaker 3: It's tough for him.
Speaker 4: I think his situation is kind of the most interesting
one coming out of this. If if they don't retain
the staff, and right now I would guess they'd probably
turn it over.
Speaker 3: I don't know what happened.
Speaker 4: I've already gotten two shots to be to be inn
OCU three really three times as a play caller now,
but two is an oc And do you get that
third shot?
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think he's done a pretty good job here.
I think he's deserving of a third shot. But if
you're a head coach or you hiring a guy that's
lost his job twice, in tying yourself to that, because
then if it doesn't work, you're the person that tied
yourself to the guy that you know couldn't save his
team two other times. And you know, everything in this
league is about just kind of kind of staying on
the raft as long as you can. Nobody really wants
to take the big swing that that could get you,
you know, fired, or make you look better or anything
like that.
Speaker 3: So I'm curious.
Speaker 4: See, I actually asked two from office people yesterday if Kubiak.
Speaker 3: You know, what do they think? Is he gonna getting
blows up?
Speaker 4: One said yes, one said I can't see him being
more than a pass game coordinator. So I have no
idea what's going to happen coming out of this, So it's.
Speaker 3: Tough for him. I think he's done a good job.
Speaker 4: I think he deserves to be in OC but the
league perception I think is going to kind of be
one of those things, and he's no longer kind of
like the up and comer or the guy that didn't
necessarily get the fair shake. I think he's somebody has
to go out and kind of prove it. I think
the thing that works in his favor, though, is that
there's always five guys that get hired. Every hired that guy,
like I think I think Kubiak is above the uh
that guy barometer, and so many ocs get turned over.
He probably does end up getting the shot, but I
don't know if he's gonna have like his his choice
of situation or anything like that. And it felt like
he kind of wanted this one last offseason, and you know,
obviously it hasn't worked out as he hoped for reasons
beyond his control. But yeah, I think he's done an
okay job. I think he deserves it. I just don't
I don't know what's going to happen to him.
Speaker 6: You know, I'm in full belief right now because you've
had a defensive head coach, and I realize Sean Payton's
not that long ago offensive mine but I would love
for the Saints to get a young, up and coming
offensive coordinator, young mind, and allow him to pick the
quarterback of this team, be it through the draft, be
it in free agency, whatever the situation might be. I
just I don't know why, but I just I prefer
maybe an offensive mine and allowing him to go pick
his quarterback and not be stuck with somebody that he
has to try to make work.
Speaker 3: I agree with that totally.
Speaker 4: I mean, like you can't you can't force someone into
a situation, and you want someone that's getting someone that
kind of they can talk to, they can interview, they
can figure out if they see the game the same way,
if there's aligned ideals and all that, and that that's
always gonna be the best situation.
Speaker 3: It's just like even what.
Speaker 4: You guys do, like your producer behind it, if they
kind of see things the same way, like you're gonna
get a better product because of it, instead of like
a producer that sees things completely opposite. They don't understand
the internet. You guys want stuff on the Internet. Like
It's just like the whole process isn't going to work
as cohesively if you're trying to force things together, and
I think that's in any job, but especially here, Like
you're trying to paint a picture every Sunday. And if
you guys both the same language, you know, you you
like the same type of play concepts, and you can,
you know, you just figure it out, like it works
a lot better. So yeah, I'm I'm all for that
that fresh start. At this point, I just don't think
it's going to be possible, like if they cut, if
they cut their car, like they literally aren't gonna have
money to sign like anybody else at all. So like
you would have to decide that that's just a direction
you're doing and you're gonna eat it per year and
come back to it. And that might not be the
worst thing to do either, like just kind of have
a reset year if you're going to do it, reset
the cap.
Speaker 3: I just don't think that.
Speaker 4: I think where it becomes the problem is that I
don't know that the front office is going to see
it the same exact way. I think they still feel
like there's something here, and I don't know that they're
totally wrong, Like there's a way to win the NFC South,
like we thought they could win it until you know,
five o'clock Sunday or whatever, six o'clock Sunday, there was
still a chance for it to be in alive. So
it isn't an outrageous thought process, but like, what's the goal?
Like is that it is the goal just to be
better than the Bucks? Like, you know, should you be
aiming a little bit higher? I mean, I think so
at this point, but it's going to be It's fascinating
to me because I have no idea how this is
going to play out this ot season. I think the
front office is going to want to hold on, and
I think your coach probably says like, hey, like let's
let's reset this a little bit to some degree. But
also at the same time, I could see someone coming
in being like, well, I'm only going to get three
years to prove myself if I cut their car and
it takes three years to get out of this cap
situation where am I at on the other side of it?
And I think that's the one thing that kind of
makes a job a little bit unattractive is I think
your options on what you can do are kind of limited.
If you try to be the guy that says I'm
going to clean this up and do it better, and
I'm going to do the Sean Payton thing and I'm
going to eat the cap but I'm going to go
get boat Nicks Like it's it's tough because you don't
really have the cap resources to build around that it all.
And if that doesn't work is quickly you might be
out of a job before you out of it, and
it might be a you know, Demico coming in after
all these other people ate the mess in Houston and
now they're ready to roll and you ate crap so
somebody else can be in a situation.
Speaker 3: It's it's tough. I don't know how appealing it's going
to be.
Speaker 4: And I think there's gonna be like conflicting ideals across
the board.
Speaker 3: When then I got it.
Speaker 2: Oh dark times, Uh dark feels dark today. Who knows,
Maybe there's a little Christmas miracle waiting under that tree.
We'll see Nick Underhill Nick underscore Underhill on Twitter, New

Apparently dwile he's next October just a little bit off there.
Speaker 7: Uh, maybe he celebrated. We just maybe maybe they celebrated.
Speaker 2: No, No, I'm sure they I'm sure, I'm sure they did.
But like, does it change that much of the astrological calendar?
I don't know. I don't know. I got to dive
into Wikipedia and see. But now's not the time because
right now we got my guy, Mike Garritson get like
Mike live here on OTB. He's been a studio, I
mean coming to studio a few times now through the years.
One of the most creative people you will ever meet.
Also one of the most driven people artist.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: He does custom cleats for athletes with his boot Up customs.
He's now starting a new merch line, boot Up. I mean,
we'll get to look at this freaking sweatshirt. Guys. Unfortunately
the two X was not here, so I gotta wait
because where's it. It's back in Austin. That's right. He's
such a badass artist that he's able to live in Austin, right,
which means that, like you know that you're making it.
Mike's up, dude, how we feeling today? Broh?
Speaker 3: What's up?
Speaker 5: Fella's feeling good? Appreciate y'all having me.
Speaker 7: You've been a busy man.
Speaker 5: Been busy, yes, sir, I mean you stay busy.
Speaker 2: I feel like you always are launching new initiatives. The
latest are the is the new boot Up merch line.
And Taylor, go ahead and zoom in on this on
this hoodie if you can with Jake's camera, because the
detail work on this thing is so nice. I mean
this stitching on the shoulders, on the back, you got
the the stitching from the football like running down the head,
little paint splatter on the pocket looking so good. And guys,
it's so comfortable, like you see how soft it looks
it actually is it's like it's like butter and it
really is, dude, So where I don't want to, I
guess just drive straight here Oka, No, let's start here then. Uh,
you already have so much going on? What made you
want to decide to start? Ah like a merch company basically?
Speaker 8: So I've been doing the cleat and sneaker side of
everything for it's been seven years now, yeah, which is
which is crazy.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 8: The first project that I every day with that was
with Jamar Chase uh or for a cleat side, and
then for shoes was with Skylar Mays for basketball.
Speaker 5: And this is kind of always the plan.
Speaker 8: Fashion was kind of my first love and I always
knew that this was going to be the really the
only way for me to monetize what I'm doing because
I you know, I turned down more cleat projects than
I take on.
Speaker 5: I just want have any more time.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, and uh, you know, one of the
biggest thing I think was that along the way of
me doing this, you know, I've worked with some amazing people,
I've been in some incredible rooms, but I realized that
it's it's bigger than me, and you know, as cool
as some of the art and cleat stuff has been
for me. This is gonna be the biggest thing that
I ever do, and uh, this is like my magnum opus.
This is my legacy. And I realized that this is
so much more communal than the other stuff that I
was doing, and I can reach so many more people
and touch so many more lives, and you know, this
one is for my community and I'm gonna make them proud.
Speaker 2: What is your creative So it's on Instagram A get
like Mike, Get period like period Mike. He's an excellent
follow man and you can really get an idea of
his art and what he produces. But like, what's your
what's your creative process? Like when you sit down to
design something, how do you find that? Uh, how do
you find the creative muse?
Speaker 8: Well, And at this point, it's just like it's I
saw I saw a gap. It's like it's it's stuff
that I want to wear. Right And you know, I'm
not going to talk bad about like Fanatics and other brands,
but they have it's a it's such a huge company.
They're not doing stuff individual for l s U right
and now, and I'm not just gonna do uh, you know,
sports stuff I'm gonna do like regular streetwear too, because
I do want to expand a little bit. But really
it just comes from you know, me doing stuff that
that I want to see people able to wear. And
so it's it's like, you know, a little bit L
s gear but more fashion. Uh and you know stuff
that is you know in this because none of my
stuff says L s U. I don't have licensing through
L s U. At some point maybe I do that,
but it's just it's it's uh, you know, kind of
affiliated with it, but not not exactly. And and actually
for the clothing side, you know, it's a lot less
stressful than making the cleats and work on my hands
all the time because I get to sit back on
the computer and you know, sketch a little bit.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, yeah. How many designs do you think
you go through before you before you end on like
a finalized piece.
Speaker 5: Well, and like this one. I've had this in the
works for like two years.
Speaker 8: I mean I've even like teased it on air before,
you know, yea working with manufacturers and like learning about
textiles and fabrics and all that kind of stuff, it
just takes a while, you know, So this has been
in the works for a while, I would say I
usually generally like come up with a concept. So the
next thing that I'm dropping, it's actually in about ten days,
we'll get it out before Christmas.
Speaker 5: But it's called Sounds of the Louisiana.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So the hat that I have on right now, so
the two songs that everybody knows Neck and Colin Baton Rouge.
I did an entire collection. So we've got two hats,
three t's, a pair of shorts. It's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 6: I mean, there's so many different things I want to
ask you about, because I mean, you showed us a
lot of it. It's incredible stuff, and so certainly be
on the lookout for that. But I know you brought
these custom Jordan's as well that you wanted to show
off and just go through the process of like what
it takes to make a custom pair of Jordan's, the
time that it takes, and like all the detail.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So a lot of what I was doing before was
like taking an existing pair of Jordans and then painting
or sewing on top of it, which is the same
thing that I do with cleats, right with the cleat
side of it, I've actually gotten almost entirely away from paint.
So like the ones I did with Karen Lacy for
this past weekend were entirely cut and sew. So I
basically I took the base cleat, I taped it up,
drew out patterns, cut out the patterns, glued and stitched
everything on. And so what I can do is I
can take a normal cleat, and I can build any
type of shoe I could, Like for Kyen, and I
built like a Kobe shoe on top of the cleat,
which is cool because it lasts significantly longer. And then
for these custom Jordan's. So I went to Shoe Surgeon
Academy in Los Angeles, and this guy is like number
one in the world. He's got forty five thousand square
feet downtown LA. Like I'm like, yeah, right, a mile
from a mile from Staple Center. And in the facility
they have a basketball court with the league that like
Justin Bieber plays in. This is like the top guy.
Like ever, uh, So I took his class and learned
how to build everything from scratch, and so that's what
we have here.
Speaker 2: So none of this is paint. This is all this
is all cut and so so so non.
Speaker 8: Here yep, and this is uh, it's made out of
like pony hair, the tiger print part. So they're like
looks and feels like for.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, dude. And so are these for someone?
Are these? Uh?
Speaker 5: These are for me? No, but they are. They are.
Actually they're on my website right now.
Speaker 2: So is there so people people can't buy? Can people
can't buy your custom shoes? Yeah?
Speaker 8: They can, they can't. This is the only pair they
can buy. I've actually never put that out to the public.

had the like you had to wear a certain color
cleat and glove like you couldn't like there was no
customization like of anything that you did.

games and we wait in the lobby and like take

but the see the color is fantastic. You want to
talk about detail work? Uh so, so what's so? What's next? Man?
What's it like being kind of based out of Austin.
But then still, you know, having so much tied into
Baton Rouge, how does that work?
Speaker 8: Well, you know, I'm making a little bit hard on myself. Yeah,
you know, uh, you know because most of my a
lot of my businesses down here. I've done some stuff
with UT Football, you know obviously the ls like I'm
an l s u alum from Baton Rouge. That's the
stuff that means the most to me. I think, you know,
there there may be is a time that I that
I come back. And you know, that was something I
never thought whenever I moved away that I would that
I would come back. But you know, as things have
have grown and whatever, you know, I think that that
definitely isn't the plan at some point.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 8: But I do want to expand my business and my brand,
you know, outside of just Louisiana and and represent the
state from a distance and then whenever it's time, make
my way on back home.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, Mike, It's awesome man. I always been so
impressed with you from Afar, watching you build this empire,
just the young guy grinding renaissance man making it happen.
True artist. Get like Mike on Instagram again. Bood Up
customs dot com promo code ot B and be on
the lookout for all the boot up merchant and the
sounds Louisiana drop because it is awesome. Guys, Like, if
you want to have the best game day fit for basketball, baseball, football, whatever,
I think, Mike's the key man to make it happen.
And who who are you currently who are you currently
working with right now as far as LSU athletes in
terms of not not with the custom cleats, but with
the with the merch because y'all had a great video
the other day.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So the first one was with Steven marlinbo worked with
this past year for baseball.
Speaker 5: Yeah, amazing.
Speaker 8: The second one was with Trace Young Elsha Basketball, and
then we also had Kyla Abert.
Speaker 5: So that was the first shoot.
Speaker 8: The second shoot we had Journey Robinson from ball volleyball
yeah uh and a Leah Finigan Uh you know Olympic gymnast.
Speaker 5: Yeah, pretty cool.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 8: And then we also shot one with Kyron. But you know,
that's that's one of the cool things about this is
you know, and and why I get to touch, you know,
so many more lives and so many more people and
build more of a community with this is because you know,
I don't have to do a full on project to
be able to have the relationships with the people and
the athletes, you know, not just the athletes, but the
community as well.
Speaker 5: So yeah, it's been amazing.
Speaker 8: Uh And you know, I'm I'm planning on doing a
lot of shoots with some of the athletes and I
don't know, maybe we've got to do one with T
Bob at some point.

It's true.
Speaker 2: It's true because you won't kiss me on a missile tipe. Wait,
what what's about to see? Came rector? Uh, let's do
a taite NFL Story of the Day Day.
Speaker 1: It's time for Tait's NFL Story of the Day day,
your daily dose of NFL news from Taylor Sharp.
Speaker 10: Well, guys, Jamal Adams has found a new team, and
it's actually a team that a lot of people believe
to be a Super Bowl contender. The Detroit Lions have
signed Jamal Adams and he's he's expected to be elevated
to their fifty three man roster. He was obviously most
recently with the Tennessee Titans. He signed with them in
the off season after being released by the Seahawks. He
requested a release from the Titans in October and it's
been a free agent ever since. This is a team
that has had some injuries in the secondary, so it
makes sense to bring in a guy like Jamal Adams
to former three time Pro bowlers.
Speaker 9: If he can get himself a Super Bowl ring.
Speaker 2: Who's Who's he joined up with A missed the very
Oh wow, let's go dude, okay cool glad like reached
out to him.
Speaker 10: Apparently, according to Jamal Adams, Aaron Glenn reached out to
him and said, hey, we want to give you a shot.
But he's been a fan of yours and Adams just like, Hey,
this is a dream come true to play for this organization, which.
Speaker 2: Is a wild sentence. Well under Campbell, No, I no, no, no,
I mean, I'm not saying it's disingenuous. He's beat. Why
would you not like aot? There might not be a
higher vibes team in the NFL than lines, like maybe
the Bills. But the Bills have been good for a
bit now with Josh Allen, which God, Allen's really good.
Speaker 3: He is.
Speaker 7: I hope that he can continue what he's doing right
now into the postseason.
Speaker 2: I still I'm I mean, man, I know, if Josh
Allen never gets over the Patrick Mahomes hump, I mean
I'll just never forget that that that one playoff game
where they had him dead to rights, Yeah, and they
just could not stop Mahomes. Like, I don't know if
he could, Josh Allen could play any better than he
did that day and they didn't win. Maybe he can,
Maybe he could just will it. I don't know.
Speaker 7: It's kind of like the entire season for Joe Burrow
right now. It's like no matter he's lost.
Speaker 6: Like so many games they've lost, I think two games
when they've scored thirty eight or more lost too, they
scored thirty.
Speaker 9: To mores it Basically every passing year.
Speaker 6: They have lost more games scoring twenty five points or
more than anybody in NFL history already this season.
Speaker 2: Damn you mad house. It's mad house. Yeah, I mean,
is it not? Any defense can go back. It's the
exact same situation.
Speaker 10: He might know their defensive coordinators, so we can blame
it on him, you twenty nineteen, what it's worth Adams
his first here with the Seahawks, he set a record
for defensive backs nine and a half sacks. However, since then,
he's missed thirty three of the possible sixty seven regular
season games for the Seahawks, and he didn't do much
with the Titans. But he's still only twenty nine years old.
So let's see if you can make a bounce back.
Speaker 2: Jamon's only twenty nine years old.
Speaker 9: Mill Hims is only twenty nine years old.
Speaker 2: Oh dude, that's so crazy. Man, that's wold uh dude.

few people hit me up in the last couple of years,
like where's the last episodes? There is the last episodeswe

The final episode did. I have no idea why. It
was an incredible ending. It was perfect, even saying completely
custom song. It was wonderful, it was emotional, it's happy

Speaker 1: Com, back to sports Talk, maybe off the bench, give it.
Speaker 2: Stab I gave you. That's a little that's a fun
little tinkling in the eyebory there. Uh, all right, how
that songs are leasing? We're losing our whole recruity class.
What do we miss? What did we miss? Christmas? I'm
searching DJ picture right now.
Speaker 7: Cade Phillips flipped from LSU to Texas.
Speaker 2: Yep, oh, cornerback.
Speaker 7: That was Yeah, that was eight minutes Ago.
Speaker 2: Ooh, it's interesting because we're kind of talking right, and
there were some LSU corners in there that were making
some of the top players in the state. But you,
you know, you went outside of that to try to
put together this and you got the top one ad nandying,
but you went outside of it to get picketed and Phillips, ooh,
she better land picket now, you better land picket, Yake.
Like you said, though, guys, prepare yourself for the worst
and hope for the best. People are going after Moses
and Tiger droppings. Why would that be Taylor?
Speaker 7: The guy's taking a visit to A and M after
shutting down his recruitment, I believe was.
Speaker 2: The word. When is he signing tomorrow?
Speaker 10: He's supposed to sign in the early so the early
signing is actually Wednesday to Friday. Just most sign on
that Wednesday, but he was supposed to sign early.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 7: Kate Phillips is from the state of Texas.
Speaker 6: As we laid out on three has him as the
thirty fourth best player in the country, the fifth rated
corner in the tenth player in the state of Texas.
Speaker 2: Try to stay in the top ten, should to see
in the top ten if you can.
Speaker 3: What this like.
Speaker 2: So you asked a bit cheap questions by right guy.
Speaker 6: You know what this does is it'll change the math
on as far as the transfer portal. And now this
is just going to be a position you have to
be more aggressive in. Like back when you know, we
were playing tea and certainly years after that, if you
lost a big time recruit like this, there was no
way to soften the blow. You didn't have the option
of the ability to go get a veteran player and
go get somebody that can fill an immediate need. Now
you don't want to lose out on top recruits, so
you still got to build through you know, your database
through high school recruiting. But now you like that has
to be position priority maybe number one. A safety safety
is right there with it. But this is hilarious from Ashley.
Speaker 2: Meghan says, I'm starting to understand in cells who hate
women for leaving for rich guys. That's the bridge party
back Kolkers visit or in Celtser Blue moon Light Sky
such a sheet. I'm not gonna lie the music or
the music. Yeah, the music is causing the news to
not really affected that much. But also you know I
kind of mentally stealed myself for this and ain't gonna
be the last one. Guys, they will be the last one. Uh,
ask the bench, if you could steal a player from
any team for next year? Who would it be?
Speaker 9: Any player from any team? And you need safety help bad?
Speaker 2: I know I'm trying to right, like yeah, like one
like a realistic h safety name would be next year?
Asked the bench. Do JG your t elf for the
shelf with the kiddos? Uh? We used it all the time,
but I miss it now they're in net empty nesting.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, old Susie and Rosie and now Greeny. Uh. You
know they show up every single year getting a shenanig
is at night, go back to see Santa. Uh during
the night, come back. And I will say this though,
I I worked out a deal with Santa where my
kids are allowed to play with the elf in the shelf.
It does not ruin their magic for them to be
able to.
Speaker 3: Award out a deal.
Speaker 7: So aka, we got tired of trying to hide this thing.
Speaker 2: No, no, I'm saying, like you know, some kids are
worried if you like in elf and the shelf lore,
if you touched the elves bad. I'm saying no. I
talked to big Man and Mike click talk. They want
to play together, can't they? And he said, yeah, so
we're cool. He's in the Heizard, Travis Hunter.
Speaker 6: Uh, Travis Hunter, genty Scataboo, all those names should be included.
Speaker 2: In my opinion, definitely one hundred genty ward if you
went those category and sure, we love you guys, Good
luck tomorrow, off the bench, go to active bed rooms.
Who knows what the rest of today, Who knows what
the next thirty six hours will hold for LSU football.
What I do know is there something you can count
on no matter what is activebatroute Just look at the reviews.
Actinbr dot com is the website you want service to
the highest degree. You're gonna take control of your conferencezone.
You need any ac heat or election needs, you want
to go to active actibatrougeactibr dot com. Go figure out

your unit is ready to go, or if you have
a problem with your heater, Actimp's gonna come out. They're
gonna fix that and make sure everything is going the
way as opposed to that website one more time.
