that they had on Saturday. Therek car might be done

15
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,479

16
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,519

Speaker 4: That's how it has done.

21
00:01:14,359 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 5: That's right.

22
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:17,719
Speaker 2: We can't have anyone to freak out out there. Okay,

23
00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:20,959
he's got a k bark Apolser got too far.

24
00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:24,719
Speaker 1: I'm by winning. I win here and I win there.

25
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 6: Now, what are you doing what it takes to win

26
00:01:28,719 --> 00:01:29,680
a championship?

27
00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:30,159
Speaker 1: Wow?

28
00:01:30,359 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: Winning?

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,719
Speaker 1: Well, then I guess there's only one thing left to do.

30
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:36,359
Speaker 2: What's that.

31
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 7: Win the whole thing?

32
00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:42,799
Speaker 5: All right?

33
00:01:42,879 --> 00:01:46,079
Speaker 3: My first weekend winner, uh, the girl that just keeps

34
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,079
on winning. I'm gonna go Page Becker. She is just

35
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,319
won the national championship with you Come. She's projected as

36
00:01:52,359 --> 00:01:56,000
the number one pick in the upcoming WNBA draft, and

37
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,200
over the weekend she's onned a three year deal with

38
00:01:58,239 --> 00:02:00,760
that three on three unrivaledly league that like a lot

39
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,879
of the women are going to because it seems to

40
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,799
be a widely popular league. So Page Beckers, in the

41
00:02:05,879 --> 00:02:10,039
last two weeks national champion, projected number one pick, signs

42
00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:12,000
a pretty good deal, a three year deal with the

43
00:02:12,039 --> 00:02:15,159
three on three Unrivaled League. So my first weekend winner

44
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:16,439
is Page Backers.

45
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,159
Speaker 8: Yeah, shout out Page Beckers. She's amazing. We all know that.

46
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 4: My first weekend winner got to give a week in

47
00:02:26,439 --> 00:02:30,840
winner to my guy, Patty the BATTIFC this weekend.

48
00:02:31,159 --> 00:02:33,039
Speaker 8: And I love Patty.

49
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,719
Speaker 4: I've been on the Patty train for a while now,

50
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,280
I really he's.

51
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 8: One of my favorite. The lightweight division.

52
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,319
Speaker 4: Is probably well, I don't know now that Teporia well anyway,

53
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,680
so it might be one of the most exciting divisions

54
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,960
in the UFC right now. But I love Patty the Batty,

55
00:02:47,039 --> 00:02:51,120
extremely charismatic, like has great Mike skills, but he gets

56
00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:55,360
the win over Michael Chandler, who was ranks number seven.

57
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 8: I think Patty was fourteenth or fifteenth, I don't remember.

58
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:03,319
Speaker 4: But technical knockout in round three from Patty really proving himself.

59
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: Patty is so much fun to watch, so fun. Have

60
00:03:06,039 --> 00:03:09,520
you seen the video of him like training the Marines. No,

61
00:03:09,719 --> 00:03:10,520
there's a video of him.

62
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: It just came out like last week. You need to

63
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:13,919
look this up. It's great.

64
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,039
Speaker 3: So he's doing jiu jitsu and he's kind of helping

65
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,080
these marines train to do jiu jitsu for like hand

66
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:19,840
to hand combat.

67
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 8: That's awesome.

68
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 3: In two minutes he submitted ten different marines. Oh no,

69
00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:26,360
like keep in mind, like someone who did jiu jitsu

70
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,840
like that crap is tired, like you get tired. So

71
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,919
the fact that he fought ten different guys, he stayed

72
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,039
in the mat this kind of time, submitted ten different marines,

73
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,080
like all these marines.

74
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:36,879
Speaker 2: Like they had done this before.

75
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, yes, they were amateurs compared to a

76
00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:41,719
professional fighter, but like they weren't like you and I, like,

77
00:03:41,759 --> 00:03:43,719
they were trained in hand to hand combat, and he

78
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,599
took them all down with ease, and I mean he

79
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,280
did it in a variety of different ways.

80
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 4: Like he's he's so fun to watch, like in the

81
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:52,439
octagon and.

82
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 8: Out of the octagon.

83
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 4: So he's really good for the sport where it's kind

84
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,840
of I don't want to say it's falling off.

85
00:03:58,719 --> 00:03:59,919
Speaker 8: But it's falling off a little bit.

86
00:04:00,199 --> 00:04:03,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, But yeah, we can winner Patty the Battie.

87
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 8: We can loser Michael Chandler.

88
00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 4: He didn't fight for like two years, waiting on Connor McGregor,

89
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,240
and then he fought Charles Olavera a few months ago,

90
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,879
lost that one, and now loses to Patty Pimblet.

91
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: A lot of people don't like Michael Chandler's if I

92
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:17,839
got that correct.

93
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:22,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it was really like the whole waiting

94
00:04:22,439 --> 00:04:24,759
two years to fight Connor McGregor kind of thing. But

95
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,360
I don't know, I don't really have too much of

96
00:04:27,399 --> 00:04:28,000
an issue with.

97
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,319
Speaker 2: Him, Cassie, what we got, I don't really have a winner.

98
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:39,079
Speaker 7: I guess we already, Okay, I guess this could technically

99
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:39,600
be a winner.

100
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 8: I filmed a wedding on Friday.

101
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 2: Yeah that I'm assuming this is your first wedding filmed.

102
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 8: This is my second time.

103
00:04:46,439 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 7: That's also my high school like broadcast teacher who I

104
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,079
still keep in touch with, is like I wouldn't be

105
00:04:51,079 --> 00:04:53,600
where I am today if it weren't for him, and

106
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,399
so he does like wedding films on the side. So

107
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,879
I filmed a wedding with him and that was it

108
00:04:58,959 --> 00:04:59,959
was just so much fun.

109
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 8: Like just but my arms, my arms are so sore.

110
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 5: Me.

111
00:05:03,879 --> 00:05:05,879
Speaker 7: I'm really so out of shape because I was just

112
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,079
like holding like a gimbal, so if you don't know

113
00:05:08,079 --> 00:05:10,120
what a gimbal is, it like helps It's like a

114
00:05:10,399 --> 00:05:13,160
stick type thing and like help steady the camera. And

115
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:15,800
it was so heavy, just like and like my right

116
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,959
arms steadier than my left arm, so like it's just

117
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,560
my right bicep, just like holding it all night for

118
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,279
like three four hours filming the whole wedding. But it

119
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,759
was it was so much fun and like really good experience.

120
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 3: Cassie's getting ripped at the weddings Cassie the weekend.

121
00:05:32,439 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 8: Super School just her right arm, Yeah, just my right.

122
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,759
Speaker 3: So my next weekend winter we talked about Rory McElroy

123
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,560
winning the Masters. My next weekend winter is all the

124
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,519
people on the internet on Twitter that are going to

125
00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:48,800
make memes out of this. I had Cassie bring up

126
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,480
the picture during break. If you guys did not see

127
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,040
this on Friday, I don't remember which hole. Off the

128
00:05:56,079 --> 00:05:57,439
top of my head, me and Moose were watching it

129
00:05:57,439 --> 00:06:01,040
here in studio. Scotti Schefler hit his ball into the trees.

130
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,360
I think it was maybe eighteen. I think that's maybe

131
00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:05,279
how he finished the day. Scotty Scheffler did not have

132
00:06:05,319 --> 00:06:08,240
a great day on Friday. You actually able to manage

133
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,879
it a lot more than some golfers would. But he

134
00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:13,160
hits it in the middle of this big magnolia tree,

135
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:15,600
and guys, it's like a ten to fifteen minute discussion

136
00:06:16,959 --> 00:06:19,120
with the crew about like, hey, do we take a drop?

137
00:06:19,319 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 2: Do I hit it out of here? What do we do?

138
00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 3: And there's a point where Scotty Scheffler, you can get

139
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,800
and pull up the picture is sitting in this magnolia tree,

140
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:30,319
contemplating life, contemplating where he's going to hit this ball.

141
00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:33,040
I am ready I am disappointed in the lack of

142
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:33,959
memes already.

143
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,879
Speaker 2: I am ready for all the memes here.

144
00:06:35,879 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 3: I mean, if you guys were watching this live and

145
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,600
you see how big of a tree this was, Scotty

146
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:45,959
Scheffler looked like a speck just sitting there contemplating everything

147
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:46,800
in his golf career.

148
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,639
Speaker 2: And he's sat there for a good five minutes or so.

149
00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:52,319
Speaker 3: So we can winn Scotty Scheffler because he actually hit

150
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,879
a pretty good shot out of those trees and was

151
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,160
able to save par on that hole. So my next

152
00:06:57,199 --> 00:06:59,600
weekend winter Scotty Scheffler for not only hitting that good

153
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,240
shot but giving us all something to laugh about.

154
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got a weekend loser. Weekend loser, Nico Iyamaliyava.

155
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,720
And I think his dad too, because I feel like

156
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:12,319
the word around town is that his dad was heavily

157
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:13,040
involved in this.

158
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,399
Speaker 2: But big Niko U.

159
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:20,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, big big Nick, Big Nico weekend losers because I

160
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,680
mean Nico Yamaliava was shopping around and then he sat

161
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,680
out on the spring game and Josh.

162
00:07:27,519 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 8: Hipel was like, we ain't doing that, we ain't doing this.

163
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 4: So they're gonna move on from Niko Yamaliava and hopefully

164
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:35,319
pick up a court.

165
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about hopefully.

166
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 4: I don't hope they do anything actually, but probably pick

167
00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:43,680
up a quarterback in the portal somewhere and goodbye, Nico.

168
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought this up. We were doing any

169
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,399
deep dive on this at nine thirty. I have a

170
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,560
lot of thoughts on this. I love this move by Tennessee.

171
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,040
We talked about it a little bit on Friday about

172
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:55,959
what was going to happen.

173
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: But good on you, Josh.

174
00:07:57,399 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 4: I was about to say big props to Joshipple.

175
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 3: Joshiper, We're gonna give weekend if she gives a weekend

176
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,439
loser to Nico, I'm gonna give the weekend winner to

177
00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:04,199
Josh Hipel.

178
00:08:04,199 --> 00:08:05,879
Speaker 2: A lot of coaches would have folded. You did not.

179
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 3: You stuck to your guns. You let him know that

180
00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:10,240
no one player is bigger than the team. The rest

181
00:08:10,279 --> 00:08:11,759
of your team is going to respect you.

182
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: Because of that. You have actually gained a fan.

183
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,279
Speaker 3: I have been super critical any offseason I'm filling in

184
00:08:17,319 --> 00:08:20,040
for anybody on this show. I am super critical of Tennessee.

185
00:08:20,079 --> 00:08:21,879
I called them the Texas A and M of the

186
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,600
SEC East because that's what they've been. I've been critical

187
00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:27,240
of Josh Hipel Josh hippel Is gained a fan this weekend.

188
00:08:27,279 --> 00:08:29,560
As far as I'm concerned, Cassie, what else you got?

189
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:30,480
You got a weekend loser.

190
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 7: I mean, I guess loser could be the baseball team

191
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,799
and the softball team. I know already talked about it,

192
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,080
but like that, it was just so disappointing, and I

193
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:40,279
kind of I didn't.

194
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 8: Expect it from softball.

195
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 7: Baseball is kind of I don't, not that I expected

196
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,279
it from baseball, but like, I feel like it was

197
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:46,799
just kind.

198
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 3: Of like baseball looked so good for so long that

199
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,120
you were like, you know something's going to happen.

200
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, you knew it was gonna happen eventually.

201
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: I mean, to your point, Oh sorry, no, you're good.

202
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:55,879
Speaker 8: Good.

203
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 4: I was just gonna say, like, okay, lose the series, fine,

204
00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:04,240
but getting sweat, yeah, getting swept. I was saying on Sunday, like, look,

205
00:09:05,159 --> 00:09:07,200
if you're gonna lose the series, just don't get swept.

206
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 8: And what did they do? They went and got swept,

207
00:09:09,159 --> 00:09:11,480
and I'm just like, oh man, you just can't do that.

208
00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:16,639
Speaker 2: You can't do that, my weekend loser.

209
00:09:17,799 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 3: This is just a standing weekend loser until further notice.

210
00:09:21,919 --> 00:09:26,399
My weekend loser, the Dallas Mavericks. So the Western and

211
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,399
Eastern Conference, the NBA playoffs is set in the Western

212
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:33,559
Conference obviously the thunder of the one seed Rockets two

213
00:09:34,279 --> 00:09:37,720
and at the three seed the Los Angeles Lakers, who

214
00:09:37,759 --> 00:09:39,840
have just been dominant as of late.

215
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,159
Speaker 2: They're thirty one and ten at home.

216
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 3: I mean they they have been excellent in their last

217
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,639
ten games. They're six and four. They were even better

218
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,759
than that their previous ten games. They have looked like

219
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:52,919
one of the best teams in the NBA since the

220
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:58,080
Luka Dantia trade. And obviously Dallas was fighting for, you know,

221
00:09:58,159 --> 00:10:01,799
a lock up playoff spot. Well, Dallas Mavericks the ten

222
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,360
seed now in the Western Conference.

223
00:10:04,519 --> 00:10:06,159
Speaker 2: They're not going to go very far at all.

224
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,799
Speaker 3: They finished their season with a losing record after making

225
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,080
it to the NBA Finals last year, thirty nine and

226
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:12,840
forty three.

227
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,039
Speaker 2: And Nico Harrison.

228
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 3: You know, we want to make fun of nicos today

229
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,960
on this Monday, Nico iamaliavo Well, Nico Harrison might be

230
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,279
the biggest moron of all the nicos out there.

231
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 2: So standing weekend loser to the.

232
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 3: Dallas Mavericks, because first off, you're making me pull for

233
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,919
the Los Angeles Lakers because I love Luka Doncic and

234
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,320
I hate the Los Angeles Lakers. So not only do

235
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,120
you have all my emotions and it tizzy, everybody else

236
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,840
kind of wants to see the Lakers succeed at this

237
00:10:37,879 --> 00:10:40,159
point as well, and I never thought I would see that.

238
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,000
Like I guarantee you that game you played last weekend

239
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,720
in Dallas when Luka Doncic returned home, I promise you

240
00:10:47,799 --> 00:10:50,440
nobody outside the city of Dallas wanted the Dallas Mavericks

241
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,360
to win that game. And that's saying a lot because

242
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,000
the Los Angeles Lakers are probably the most hated franchise

243
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,559
in all of the NBA.

244
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,919
Speaker 2: So not only did you screw your entire.

245
00:10:58,759 --> 00:11:01,879
Speaker 3: Franchise and nego, you may the Los Angeles Lakers likable.

246
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: I don't enjoy that. I don't know how to feel

247
00:11:04,159 --> 00:11:04,480
about it.

248
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 3: So they're standing weekend loser, Dallas Mavericks, and you co Harrison,

249
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:08,600
anybody else got anymore?

250
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,519
Speaker 8: I don't think so. I know, I said the Dodgers

251
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:12,440
during the break.

252
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 3: But oh yeah, okay, so the Dodgers everyone said they

253
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,080
were undefeated.

254
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,279
Speaker 4: Right, Okay, this is this is what I was thinking

255
00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:23,120
about yesterday, right, like everybody was complaining about, you know,

256
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,399
no salary cap and no salary floor whatever, why watch

257
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,240
baseball if the Dodgers are.

258
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 8: Just gonna keep winning, Well they're not.

259
00:11:30,879 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 4: And I know they started off real hot, and baseball

260
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,919
is a long season, so they can get hot again

261
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:40,039
at any time. But they they've been like the last

262
00:11:40,039 --> 00:11:41,720
two they lost to Nationals.

263
00:11:41,919 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 8: I think they maybe lost.

264
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 4: The series with them, and then they lost the series

265
00:11:45,639 --> 00:11:48,200
this weekend versus the Cubs, and they lost sixteen to

266
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,919
zero versus the Cubs on Saturday, and lost yesterday as well. So, uh,

267
00:11:53,519 --> 00:11:57,080
getting a little cold the Dodgers are. So it's just

268
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,679
funny because it's just funny because everyone's like, well, why

269
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,279
even they're gonna watch it. They're gonna just keep winning

270
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,720
the World Series. It's like, you should watch it because

271
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:05,320
this happens.

272
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,159
Speaker 3: Look, this is gonna sound contradictory on my part because

273
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,360
I am part of the crowd to where like pretty

274
00:12:11,399 --> 00:12:13,360
much any sport across the board, I don't like any

275
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:14,440
New York or LA team.

276
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:15,159
Speaker 2: I just don't.

277
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,279
Speaker 3: However, like the Dodgers get a lot of hate because

278
00:12:19,399 --> 00:12:22,000
where they play, because they're the Dodgers, because they spend

279
00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:24,799
a lot of money. And this whole torpedo bat thing

280
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,279
it is that is caught the Major League by storm.

281
00:12:27,399 --> 00:12:30,600
I promise you if the New York Yankees were not

282
00:12:30,759 --> 00:12:33,480
using it, no one would care about the torpedo bats.

283
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:34,039
Speaker 2: No one would care.

284
00:12:34,039 --> 00:12:35,919
Speaker 3: All they have two or three players on the Tampa

285
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,960
Bay Rays they use this bat before anyone on the Yankees.

286
00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:41,960
All you heard about all well, typical New York Yankees,

287
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,399
you know they they sign, Yeah, and he's used it

288
00:12:45,519 --> 00:12:48,000
longer than anybody on the Yankees. But when the New

289
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,120
York Yankees get it, it's a big deal. Everyone wants

290
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,080
to criticize. I'm like, I'm not a Yankees fan, but

291
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,480
if I was, I would feel some type of way

292
00:12:53,519 --> 00:12:57,759
about that, because it's like, look, you haven't won that

293
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,440
recent like, and everybody still treats it like you win

294
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,559
every single year. You always get the benefit of the doubt.

295
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,039
But in reality that's not just the case. So, I mean,

296
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,919
I'm not a Yankees fan, but I get it if

297
00:13:08,919 --> 00:13:10,799
you're a Yankees fan and you're you're kind of feeling

298
00:13:10,799 --> 00:13:12,360
some type of way about that. All right, Look we're

299
00:13:12,399 --> 00:13:14,519
going to take a time when we get back. Devin

00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 2: Dev. What's going on today?

335
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:48,759
Speaker 5: Taylor? What's up?

336
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,519
Speaker 2: Man? I am doing good.

337
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,799
Speaker 3: Not a great sports weekend for anyone here in Louisiana.

338
00:14:56,039 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 2: It started Friday.

339
00:14:57,159 --> 00:14:59,559
Speaker 3: And I mean, depending on how you feel about Derek Carr,

340
00:14:59,639 --> 00:15:02,600
kind of on your mood, what are your thoughts on

341
00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:05,159
that situation? Man, you know, possibly out for the year

342
00:15:05,679 --> 00:15:07,480
with a shoulder injury. I mean, what do you what

343
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:08,200
do you think about that?

344
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 5: Just I mean at this point, just not surprised by anything, right,

345
00:15:14,559 --> 00:15:17,519
So this is a very Derek Carr moved to me.

346
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,440
I just thought, I'm just not surprised And it's almost

347
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,080
like the last straw. You know, something, there's something beyond

348
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,879
just he's hurting April and can't play off seat. Something's

349
00:15:27,879 --> 00:15:30,840
going on and we're just not getting the correct communication

350
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,159
on it. You know, I compare how Derek Carr handles

351
00:15:35,159 --> 00:15:38,279
all this to like Osama bin Laden. Dude, I gotta

352
00:15:38,279 --> 00:15:41,159
be honest, like, you know, it's like he's got a curry,

353
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,200
you you know, and he just passes messages and we

354
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,720
just got to deal with it. And you know, I'm

355
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,440
so exhausted on it to where I don't even care

356
00:15:50,519 --> 00:15:53,320
no more about what's going on with this guy. You

357
00:15:53,399 --> 00:15:55,639
know what I'm saying, It's just a colossal waste of time,

358
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:02,879
colossal waste of money, h colossal horrible free agent signing.

359
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,039
It'sn't it's gotta be the worst of all time.

360
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,279
Speaker 3: Again, I guess that's that's where I was going next,

361
00:16:08,279 --> 00:16:09,440
Like where do you where do you rank the Derek

362
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:10,399
cars signing all time?

363
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 2: Like of all the Saints.

364
00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 5: Blunders, the worst, the worst, especially since I've been alive,

365
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,320
the worst. You know, there's been worse quarterback that we

366
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,919
brought on. But you know, when you look at the

367
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,240
whole entire tention, this is just the worst experience the

368
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,759
Saints have ever been appalling.

369
00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:30,279
Speaker 3: Off And you know, I'm looking and like I know

370
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,120
that there's reports is like, oh, well, they may have

371
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,600
known about this before they restructured his contract and all that.

372
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,799
Speaker 2: That's fine, but like have they said how this happened?

373
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,799
Speaker 5: No, they haven't. And it's been seventy two entire earth. Yeah,

374
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,600
since they announced it and we've gotten no Like you

375
00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:48,159
really think that they haven't figured that would happen by now?

376
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like that's my thing because like it happened Friday,

377
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:51,679
and I'm like, all right, by the time I host

378
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,039
the show Monday, like, so much more information is gonna

379
00:16:54,039 --> 00:16:56,519
come out? We have nothing like did he hurt it

380
00:16:56,559 --> 00:16:58,879
working out in the off season? Did he slipping fall

381
00:16:58,919 --> 00:17:00,840
getting out of the shower hurt his shoulder? Like what

382
00:17:00,919 --> 00:17:01,720
happened with this guy?

383
00:17:02,519 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 4: Yeah?

384
00:17:02,759 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 5: All we know is that he's in Paris having a

385
00:17:05,319 --> 00:17:08,640
having a nice Paris time. You know what I'm saying.

386
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:08,960
I don't.

387
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:14,079
Speaker 3: Well, he's got all the guaranteed money right right, No,

388
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,319
he could he could put stock in in the Eiffel

389
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,039
Tower right now with all the money.

390
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 5: He got from Louisiana for sure.

391
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:25,039
Speaker 3: Dev moving on from uh Derek Carr Real quick, did

392
00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:26,759
you watch any of The Masters this weekend?

393
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 5: I did, man, especially yesterday, all four of it. It's

394
00:17:31,559 --> 00:17:34,079
just that's why people tell you to watch the Masters. Yep,

395
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:39,599
that right there. Just it's just great drama. And look

396
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:44,400
I had Byson to Shambo obviously did Yeah, obviously that

397
00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:48,160
was tragic yesterday. But you know, I got to give

398
00:17:48,319 --> 00:17:52,079
props to Rule. I mean he literally he overcame all

399
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,680
that adversity and that was a lot yesterday, you know,

400
00:17:55,799 --> 00:17:57,960
so props to him.

401
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 3: Patty Pimblet this weekend. I know you're a big fighting guy.

402
00:18:01,279 --> 00:18:03,559
What'd you make of it? Taking down Michael Chandler.

403
00:18:04,319 --> 00:18:06,559
Speaker 5: That was the worst I've ever seen Michael Chandler to

404
00:18:06,599 --> 00:18:11,720
get warm. And he's been in some wars, but I mean,

405
00:18:11,759 --> 00:18:14,400
that wasn't even a war. He just got absolutely smoked.

406
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,680
Patty Pemblet is the real deal man, and I've been

407
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,240
a Patty Pemblet fan. But what he did to Michael

408
00:18:20,319 --> 00:18:24,279
Chandler was nothing short of improv It was. It was amazing,

409
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:25,119
It really was.

410
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 4: He beat He.

411
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,599
Speaker 5: Beat the electrolytes out of my.

412
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 11: Depth.

413
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: Have you seen me here?

414
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 8: Real quick?

415
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 4: Okay, I was gonna say, like we know, Michael Chandler's

416
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,839
favorite thing ever is to get on the mic after

417
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,960
he loses and be like walk on and just like

418
00:18:43,319 --> 00:18:45,640
try to give this motivational speech. He didn't even get

419
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,200
his motivational speech time because Patty beat him that bad.

420
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,599
They took him out of the octagon like almost immediately.

421
00:18:51,519 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think, well yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean he

422
00:18:57,559 --> 00:18:59,640
had to go to the hospital. It was that bad,

423
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:05,599
you know, yeah, it was It's crazy. And then the

424
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:10,039
Volk Volkaninsky. Man, I put a lot of money on

425
00:19:10,079 --> 00:19:13,480
Diego Lopez because I mean I watch UFC and what

426
00:19:13,519 --> 00:19:16,440
I've watched in UFC is Diego Lopez is a problem.

427
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,359
And he fought Volks game. He did, but definitely three rams.

428
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,920
He just fought Volk's game, and that's how Volk wins.

429
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,079
You know. I like Volk, but I always said he's

430
00:19:26,079 --> 00:19:28,799
a round fighter, you know Patty.

431
00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 3: I mean, uh, dev have you seen the video of

432
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,279
Patty it came out last week. Is uh He's going

433
00:19:34,319 --> 00:19:36,319
to help these marines train in like hand to hand

434
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,559
combat and they go to jiu jitsu. Ten marines in

435
00:19:39,559 --> 00:19:41,680
a row came in that ring. Patty submitted all of

436
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:42,880
them like under a minute.

437
00:19:43,519 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that just goes to show you it's just

438
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,079
a whole different game. And obviously Marines are you know,

439
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,839
they they they warriors, but these dudes in Mma are

440
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,359
like they just no different things.

441
00:19:56,279 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 3: Dev This weekend in Potitula was the annual St Raberry Festival.

442
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,720
I don't know if you were out there or not.

443
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,519
Have you ever been because this seems right up your alley.

444
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I might have went when I was a kid.

445
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,200
I don't really remember, but no, I haven't been in

446
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,839
a long time. If I have been, I don't get

447
00:20:16,839 --> 00:20:20,039
out of the parents a toola much. I mean, yeah,

448
00:20:20,079 --> 00:20:22,279
I just don't get out there much. But I know

449
00:20:22,319 --> 00:20:27,039
it's a huge festival, so I mean, I just don't know.

450
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,160
I don't know if I'll have a go.

451
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 3: Well, the thing is man like, it's big, but like

452
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,359
we were talking about it a little bit earlier, if

453
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,519
that festival holds three thousand people, Patchatula is like, nah,

454
00:20:39,559 --> 00:20:41,400
we could fit ten thousand in here easy.

455
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 11: I mean, it is.

456
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,559
Speaker 3: Shoulder to show. It's one of those things like you

457
00:20:44,599 --> 00:20:47,240
show up and you're so overwhelmed. You're like, all right,

458
00:20:47,319 --> 00:20:48,799
let me get a thing of strawberries and get the

459
00:20:48,839 --> 00:20:50,400
hell out, Like that's that's where you're at.

460
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 2: Like it is, it is awful.

461
00:20:52,039 --> 00:20:54,279
Speaker 3: Like my fraternity in college, we just have to work

462
00:20:54,319 --> 00:20:56,200
it every single year, so i'd have to be there

463
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,359
like Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

464
00:20:57,519 --> 00:20:58,799
Speaker 2: Just not not for me.

465
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,799
Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, I'll tell you what. I'll try to make

466
00:21:02,799 --> 00:21:04,839
it out there. I guess maybe next year. Yeah, and

467
00:21:05,079 --> 00:21:07,079
see what it's all about. There's another thing that's out

468
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,720
that way whatever, that thing that T Bob goes to

469
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,880
every year or it's called the like it's like a

470
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,480
medieval festival or something.

471
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 2: The Renaissance festival. Yeah.

472
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I gotta go to that.

473
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 3: That's a lot better because like the layout of that

474
00:21:19,839 --> 00:21:21,839
is like centered around the lake and like all the

475
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,000
stuff's kind of like the perimeter. Like it's a lot

476
00:21:24,039 --> 00:21:25,880
more open. It is not nearly as bad as a

477
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:26,720
strubbery festival.

478
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, it just seems interesting, you know what I'm saying.

479
00:21:29,079 --> 00:21:32,079
It seems like you find some interesting cats if you do.

480
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:32,279
Speaker 10: So.

481
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 3: I went for the first time. I mean I think

482
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,880
we took a fourth grade field trip there when I

483
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,880
was in school. I went for the first time back

484
00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:42,200
this year, and uh, there there are some interesting characters

485
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,119
to say, though you would thrive in that situation.

486
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I definitely got to make it to that

487
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:48,000
for sure.

488
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,799
Speaker 3: All right, dev let me let me ask you a

489
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,359
quick pills question. Obviously, their season was terrible, their season

490
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,200
is over. But Mike Malone got fired last week from

491
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,319
the denver Na Gets. It was a move that surprised

492
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,960
me a probably surprised a lot of people considering they're

493
00:22:02,039 --> 00:22:04,359
like a five seed in the playoffs. They just won

494
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,440
the championship a few years ago. Should the Pells go

495
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:08,200
after Mike Malone?

496
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,799
Speaker 5: Me up? My And my favorite part about Mike Maloney

497
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,640
kind of sounds like it's from the West Bank, you

498
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,119
know what I'm saying. If you listen to him talk,

499
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,680
it kind of sounds like he's from the West Bank.

500
00:22:18,759 --> 00:22:21,599
So yeah, I'm all about it, don't get me wrong. Look,

501
00:22:21,839 --> 00:22:24,559
I do like Willy Green. I think he's a great person.

502
00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:30,720
This situation all around from David Griffin, will whatever, the injuries,

503
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,640
just hasn't worked out, you know what I'm saying. So

504
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,880
that's just a part of the business. And I'd be

505
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,200
shocked if they kept both of them. They kept David

506
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,200
Griffin and Willy Green. But anyway, Yeah, I mean, we

507
00:22:41,519 --> 00:22:43,400
got to make a change. Man. I was talking about

508
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,160
this last night on my show. You know this this draft,

509
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,680
you got a chance. You know how they always say, hey,

510
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,119
build a Raam Zion, build a rams Ions been saying

511
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,440
to night. Okay, now it's time to find somebody that's

512
00:22:56,599 --> 00:22:59,039
just as good as Zion. Do you see what I'm saying. Yeah,

513
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,279
it's been that, it's been that long. It's been long enough.

514
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,680
Find somebody that's just as good as Zion, and let's

515
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,640
move forward. Not saying get rid of Ion, but find

516
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,240
somebody that's just as good as pay him with Zion,

517
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,200
and let's see what we got, man, because a lot

518
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,000
of these guys that we've invested in, they can't stay healthy.

519
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,920
And you see what the result is, man, sixty one losses,

520
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:18,839
which is impactable.

521
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 3: Well, and to your point, like, look, you can like

522
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,920
Willy Green, that's fine, and you know I'm I like

523
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:24,440
Willy Green.

524
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 2: He seems like a good guy.

525
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,799
Speaker 3: But the fact that all these other teams make moves

526
00:23:28,039 --> 00:23:30,839
like quickly after success because they're tired of it, Like

527
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,519
the Denver Nuggets won two years ago.

528
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 2: I was talking.

529
00:23:33,839 --> 00:23:35,759
Speaker 3: I was talking about it with somebody here at work

530
00:23:35,799 --> 00:23:38,079
the other day, Like, if you remember in twenty eighteen,

531
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,039
like Dwayne Casey won Coach of the Year in the NBA,

532
00:23:41,599 --> 00:23:44,039
didn't get the playoff results, the Raptors fired him.

533
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,079
Speaker 2: What did they do? They brought in Nick Nurse. He

534
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,000
won a championship.

535
00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 3: A couple years later, they fired Nick Nurse and like

536
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,839
the Pelicans like just seem like they're okay with being

537
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:52,759
an NBA purgatory.

538
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's extremely honest, exactly because I mean,

539
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,880
so you're seeing so many solid teams move on from

540
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,200
their coaches, and uh, here we are. You know what

541
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,440
I'm saying, sixty one losses. I mean every time I

542
00:24:07,519 --> 00:24:10,319
say it, it grosses me out. Man, It's like, how

543
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,400
does it get this bad? So you have to make

544
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,759
a complete overhaul. You know, I don't know who's in

545
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,519
a worse position, the Saints or the Pelicans, but I'd

546
00:24:20,559 --> 00:24:23,559
probably say that if I wasn't what Yeah.

547
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,039
Speaker 3: I mean, well, the fact that like both of your

548
00:24:25,079 --> 00:24:28,359
New Orleans franchises are awful right now, Like because there's

549
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,640
been a lot of talk about, oh, can the NHL

550
00:24:30,759 --> 00:24:31,920
bring a team to New Orleans?

551
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,759
Speaker 2: I'm like, the way the Saints and Pelicans have bad luck, Like,

552
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,680
do you want another team? To have to cheer for

553
00:24:36,839 --> 00:24:37,880
that's perpetually losing.

554
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean, look, I don't want to say I

555
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,759
wouldn't welcome it. Yeah exactly. Man, it's like, what kind

556
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,279
do you want? Triple dysfunction?

557
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 2: That's one of those things where it's like I feel

558
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:48,279
like it'd be.

559
00:24:48,319 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 5: Fun for like two years, yeah, two months too much?

560
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, sure that before I get you out of here?

561
00:24:55,519 --> 00:24:57,039
Where are we going for rbn R Day?

562
00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:02,559
Speaker 5: And I never know until laster I get off of

563
00:25:02,599 --> 00:25:03,960
this show right here. You know what I'm saying. I

564
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,720
never really at it, but you know, I'm thinking somewhere

565
00:25:08,039 --> 00:25:11,119
around booty Home area or something like that. Okay, so no,

566
00:25:11,319 --> 00:25:14,559
not too far now now, never too too far, you

567
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,480
know what I'm saying. Because I do this day up.

568
00:25:16,559 --> 00:25:19,279
It's not like I filmed this. Yeah yeah, he's ahead

569
00:25:19,319 --> 00:25:21,119
of time or anything like that. So I always got

570
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,480
to leave myself time at it, publish it, you know,

571
00:25:23,599 --> 00:25:24,519
and stuff like that.

572
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,400

we get back. We talked about it a little bit

578
00:25:38,599 --> 00:25:40,119
there and weekend winners. I kind of want to break

579
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,799
it down a little bit more, the Tennessee situation with

580
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,160
former quarterback Miko Iamlaiava. Will break down that on the

581
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,400
other side here on off the bench, off the bench.

582
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 11: Oh, speaking of baseball, spring is sprung. Baseball's in the air,

583
00:25:55,799 --> 00:25:59,240

00:26:51,559 --> 00:26:54,440
hot and the sports talk is questionable.

602
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,319
Speaker 11: If your car dies in the interstate when you're having

603
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:58,839
a panic attack, you think you're dying and you're on

Speaker 3: Welcome back in Monday edition of Off the Bench. Just

633
00:28:04,559 --> 00:28:07,319
a few more segments to go here on this Monday morning.

634
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,079
And I gotta tell you, guys, there are very few

635
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,039
things I love more than a random T Bob a

636
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,160
bear live read when he is uh, when he is out.

637
00:28:17,279 --> 00:28:19,920
And you know, a lot of people like, okay, since

638
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,880
I'm normally on video, I'm here now, like whether it's Kaszie,

639
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,240
like Jordan's asked a few Tom's like why don't y'all

640
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:29,000
just pull one that's not random? You don't understand they're

641
00:28:29,079 --> 00:28:31,519
all random. That is the most normal. Me and Lauder

642
00:28:31,559 --> 00:28:33,759
were talking dur him break like when they get back,

643
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,599
like we might just get Jake after the show to

644
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,079
just record basic generic ones by himself and those are

645
00:28:40,119 --> 00:28:41,559
the live reads we're going to play.

646
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,039
Speaker 2: Like Okay, last segment we had Devin snow on. Okay,

647
00:28:44,319 --> 00:28:45,759
we didn't talk any baseball.

648
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 6: LSU's baseball and softball got swept and T Bubb goes

649
00:28:49,759 --> 00:28:52,880
speaking of baseball, the incredible play we've seen on the field,

650
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,160
grab a dose Eki's like, there was an incredible play

651
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:56,640
on the field.

652
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,279
Speaker 3: We weren't talking baseball. It's just those are all of

653
00:29:00,359 --> 00:29:02,960
T Bob's live reies. He doesn't know any other way.

654
00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:05,079
It's part of the reason why we love him. But like,

655
00:29:05,559 --> 00:29:07,480
that's one of my favorite parts about filling in. I'm like,

656
00:29:07,599 --> 00:29:09,359
what is T Bob going to say? Like, half the

657
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,200
time a laundre will play one of these generic live why.

658
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 8: My best to find a normal one.

659
00:29:14,519 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 2: They're all like that, it doesn't matter. You don't even

660
00:29:16,759 --> 00:29:17,480
need to look at me.

661
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 8: The one that I tried to tried to pull it

662
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,799
was like, what am I supposed to do with that?

663
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:23,279
Speaker 1: Taylor?

664
00:29:23,559 --> 00:29:26,359
Speaker 2: Oh, I know half the time he's just yelling and brading.

665
00:29:26,079 --> 00:29:29,359
Speaker 4: Me or have to my favorite at thirty second live

666
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:30,359
reay because he's.

667
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 3: Like my favorites is like if one of my poor

668
00:29:33,319 --> 00:29:36,240
family members are listening and Cassie, this happens more than

669
00:29:36,279 --> 00:29:38,640
you would think one of my family members happens to

670
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,799
be listening and the Goodwood read comes up and t

671
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,200
Bob goes, are you limp like Taylor will get Goodwood?

672
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,279
I'm like, Bro, I'm just sitting here. I'm just sitting

673
00:29:46,319 --> 00:29:47,160
here minding my business.

674
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,359
Speaker 2: T Bob. Why we calling me out? But that's that's

675
00:29:51,519 --> 00:29:52,480
just who T Bob is.

676
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,279
Speaker 3: Okay, Look, I want to talk real quick about the

677
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,400
situation with Tennessee football and Nico yama Liava. Talked about

678
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,119
it a little bit in weekend Winners at Lauder gave

679
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,000
Nico a weekend loser rightfully, some as we kind of

680
00:30:07,039 --> 00:30:09,200
break down a little bit what occurred and knocks all

681
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,359
over the weekend. So all last week really Wednesday Thursday,

682
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,519
we had heard that Nico Yamaliava.

683
00:30:16,319 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 2: Wanted more money.

684
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 3: So reportedly he had kind of an nil contract type

685
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,079
of deal. There was two million dollars over a two

686
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,200
to three year span. He wanted around four million dollars

687
00:30:29,559 --> 00:30:33,720
for this upcoming season. There's a problem with that one.

688
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,240
Nico yama Liava is not that good. That's part of

689
00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:39,359
the reason the Tennessee offense struggled last year.

690
00:30:39,799 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 2: You don't believe me. Let's look at his numbers.

691
00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:46,039
Speaker 3: He goes sixty three point eight percent completion, that's fine,

692
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,720
a hair over twenty six hundred yards, twenty six sixteen,

693
00:30:50,559 --> 00:30:52,440
nineteen touchdowns, five interceptions.

694
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 2: That's average to below average this day in college football.

695
00:30:57,599 --> 00:30:59,559
Speaker 3: And I've heard a lot of people say, oh woo,

696
00:31:00,079 --> 00:31:01,759
Terry and Mensa got this amount of money, and he

697
00:31:01,839 --> 00:31:03,640
was at tu Lane and this guy got this amount

698
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,279
of money. Yeah, Darian Mensa was a lot better than

699
00:31:06,359 --> 00:31:09,000
Niko IAmA Liava last year. You can say I want

700
00:31:09,079 --> 00:31:12,440
market value. You're getting market value. In my opinion, You're

701
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,480
getting paid more than what your play has shown on

702
00:31:14,559 --> 00:31:18,480
the field. But one of the things that I wanted

703
00:31:18,519 --> 00:31:21,880
to applaud over the weekend was how Tennessee handled this situation.

704
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,839
So we were talking that, you know, he demanded more money,

705
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,839
and also like what kind of a crappy move to pull,

706
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,160
Like right before spring ends. Tennessee's kind of backed into

707
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,160
the corner because who knows who's going to enter the

708
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,880
transfer portal in the spring window. So what does an

709
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,240
ico do right before the spring window opens? He comes

710
00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:38,640
through it, he says, hey, I want more money or

711
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,319
I'm out of here. And you know, Teaba pointed this

712
00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:44,000
out Thursday, and he's absolutely correct because a lot of

713
00:31:44,039 --> 00:31:49,359
schools actually would have thought this way. T Bob says, Okay, well,

714
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,680
Tennessee might have to do this because what are their

715
00:31:51,759 --> 00:31:55,799
other options at quarterback? I totally understand that. My point

716
00:31:55,839 --> 00:32:00,839
on Thursday was what are Nico's options if he leaves Tennessee?

717
00:32:02,079 --> 00:32:04,160
Because I don't see a lot of teams wanting to

718
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,799
knock down his door, especially if the four million dollars

719
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,799
is indeed his asking price. Let's look at some of

720
00:32:09,839 --> 00:32:13,279
the top teams that are around that maybe we think

721
00:32:13,319 --> 00:32:17,079
would pay that money. Ohio State they have Julian saying

722
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:18,359
I think they're happy with him.

723
00:32:18,359 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 2: They're not going to do it.

724
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 3: Michigan just paid price Underwood all that money. They're not

725
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:26,680
paying that for another quarterback. Oregon's got two quarterbacks. It

726
00:32:26,799 --> 00:32:29,000
brought in Dante More to sit last year. He's likely

727
00:32:29,039 --> 00:32:29,720
going to take over.

728
00:32:31,839 --> 00:32:32,759
Speaker 2: I mean, where do you go?

729
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,079
Speaker 3: And everyone's going to say, oh, well, it's clearly the

730
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,519
Alabama Crimson tie, is it? I don't think it is.

731
00:32:41,039 --> 00:32:43,720
Kaylen de Boor brings in Austin Mack. He set last year.

732
00:32:43,759 --> 00:32:45,640
Austin Mack was a guy that was committed to him

733
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,400
when he was in Washington. They have Ty Simpson. You

734
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:49,799
can say what you want about Ty Simpson.

735
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 2: Is he good? Is he not good? I don't know.

736
00:32:51,799 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 3: We haven't seen much of him, but he's been in

737
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,079
that program for a number of years and this is

738
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,039
now his second year under Kaylen de Boor. He knows

739
00:32:58,079 --> 00:33:00,839
what that coaching staff expects. And then they bring in

740
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,920
five star freshman Keilan Russell. They already have three quarterbacks

741
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,319
on that roster. Whether you love him, hate them, or

742
00:33:07,359 --> 00:33:09,759
you're somewhere in between. I don't believe that they're going

743
00:33:09,839 --> 00:33:13,119
to bring in a guy like a Nico Yama Liava,

744
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,759
especially with a five star freshman like Keilan Russell on

745
00:33:15,799 --> 00:33:17,640
the team, They're gonna want to keep Kielan Russell around.

746
00:33:19,599 --> 00:33:22,759
I don't see Alabama doing that. Who are the other

747
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:27,279
teams out there that are your top NIL spenders that

748
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,119
have the money, that are championship caliber programs? I mean,

749
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,519
I say championship caliber program's about to bring up Notre Dame.

750
00:33:33,559 --> 00:33:35,559
I don't think they're championship caliber, but they're certainly in

751
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,000
the hunt. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish was the first

752
00:33:39,039 --> 00:33:40,799
team that I thought of Friday when I found out

753
00:33:40,839 --> 00:33:41,599
Tennessee was moving on.

754
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 2: They have Steve an Jelly.

755
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,799
Speaker 3: If you remember Steve Anngelly the playoff game that Notre

756
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,480
Dame faced off against Georgia, Riley Leonard gets hurt, he leaves.

757
00:33:53,559 --> 00:33:57,160
Steve Angelly comes in and actually leads a touchdown drive. Now,

758
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,160
he hasn't played a ton, but what we've seen from him,

759
00:33:59,519 --> 00:34:02,720
he looks pretty good. He's likely the projected starter in

760
00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:04,799
Notre Dame. They also have a guy named CJ. Carr

761
00:34:04,839 --> 00:34:10,239
who's looked really good in spring practice. Now what Nico

762
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,679
has on his side as far as transferring into Notre

763
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,159
Dame the last two seasons, Marcus Freeman has brought in

764
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,239
a transfer quarterback. If you remember two years ago it

765
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,840
was Sam Hartman who started his career wake for US.

766
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,320
Then last season he brings in Riley Leonard from Duke.

767
00:34:24,199 --> 00:34:26,280
But that doesn't necessarily mean he's going to do it here.

768
00:34:27,559 --> 00:34:30,880
So if it's not Notre Dame, who else could you

769
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,599
look at? Florida State was a team that came to

770
00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:36,360
my mind two years ago. They were right there in

771
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,039
the thick of it for the College Football Playoff. A

772
00:34:38,079 --> 00:34:40,159
lot of people, myself included, believe they were snubbed for

773
00:34:40,199 --> 00:34:44,880
that spot. They lost a redshirt freshman quarterback to the

774
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:49,159
transfer portal this weekend, but they did bring in Thomas

775
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:53,000
Castiano's from Boston College last year. If you remember Castiano's,

776
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:55,440
he's the dual threat quarterback. He was a big part

777
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,880
of how Boston College beat Florida State earlier in that year. Now,

778
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,199
he suffered some injuries and finish the season as Boston

779
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,760
Colleges starter. But I mean he made some nice plays

780
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,800
on the field. I mean he's probably still an upgrade

781
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:13,719
from dj Uyunglila. I don't know if it makes sense

782
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,960
to bring in another transfer, even though you've already brought

783
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:17,840
in Castanos.

784
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 2: No, I get it. If you think Nico's better, you're

785
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:21,239
gonna do whatever you can.

786
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 3: But I imagine Thomas Cassiano's got a pretty good nil

787
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,840
package to go to Florida State because they needed a

788
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,639
quarterback that bad. Again, are you gonna spend that type

789
00:35:31,679 --> 00:35:33,199
of money on another player?

790
00:35:34,039 --> 00:35:35,039
Speaker 2: I don't know if you do that.

791
00:35:36,519 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 3: So everyone can say, oh, well, Tennessee, they made a

792
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,719
mistake by doing this. He could only aava made a

793
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,360
mistake in my opinion, because if he doesn't go to

794
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,760
one of these contenders. If none of those guys knock

795
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,159
on his door and say, hey, we want you bad enough,

796
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,599
you know what he's gonna do. Somebody like Boise State's

797
00:35:50,639 --> 00:35:52,519
going to pay him, which is fine. He can make

798
00:35:52,599 --> 00:35:55,199
his money and he's not gonna win anything of any significance.

799
00:35:56,679 --> 00:35:59,119
But shout out to josh Iipel and Tennessee for doing this.

800
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,039
Appreciated that they did this. This is the move that

801
00:36:02,119 --> 00:36:03,760
I wanted them to do, and you know, I talked

802
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,800
about it a little bit earlier. I've been very critical

803
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,280
of Tennessee. I've been very critical of josh Iipel. I

804
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,880
think they're overrated the majority of time going into seasons.

805
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,159
But I think they nailed this. Josh Iipel told reporters

806
00:36:14,199 --> 00:36:16,679
on Saturday after their their spring scrimmage that no one's

807
00:36:16,679 --> 00:36:20,880
bigger than the program. And so the tipping point was that,

808
00:36:21,039 --> 00:36:22,960
you know, Nico threatened to Oh, I'm gonna leave, I'm

809
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:23,840
gonna leave, I'm gonna leave.

810
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 2: He was a no show on practice Friday.

811
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 3: In the post practice meeting, the report is that josh

812
00:36:28,039 --> 00:36:29,760
Iipel told the team that they were moving on from

813
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,840
Niko Yami Leap. The Nico calls the offensive coordinator Friday night,

814
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,920
he said he's in the process feeling out his paperwork,

815
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:37,800
planned to enter the portal when it opened on Wednesday.

816
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:43,360
Tennessee called Nico's bluff, and Nico ultimately moved on. But

817
00:36:43,639 --> 00:36:45,599
I don't know if that's going to work out for

818
00:36:46,519 --> 00:36:49,199
Josh Iipel. I mean, after their spring game on Saturday,

819
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:54,000
I think you said it beautifully, he said. This program

820
00:36:54,079 --> 00:36:55,840
has been around for a long time. There are a

821
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,679
lot of great coaches, a lot of great players who

822
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,719
came in and laid the cornerstone pieces the legacy and

823
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,159
the tradition that is Tennessee football. It's going to be

824
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,440
around for a long time after I'm gone, and after

825
00:37:05,519 --> 00:37:08,400
all these players are gone. No one is bigger than

826
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:12,119
this program. And he's absolutely right. There are a lot

827
00:37:12,199 --> 00:37:14,880
of coaches out there. I believe it would have folded

828
00:37:15,039 --> 00:37:17,400
that would have given into this. Josh Heipel did not.

829
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,840
Josh Iippel stuck to his guns. He did what he

830
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,320
thought was right. He did what he thought was in

831
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,559
the best interest of his program. I've never been a

832
00:37:23,599 --> 00:37:25,639
Tennessee van, I've never been a Josh Hippel fan, but

833
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,440
you know what, I got a little bit more respect

834
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,639
for the Tennessee football program and Josh Hippel after this

835
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,000
happened also.

836
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 2: Don't want to not mention this.

837
00:37:35,119 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 3: There is a report, it is not confirmed, but there

838
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,840
is a report that Niko was actually shopping himself around

839
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,920
to other programs, like before he entered the portal, before

840
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,280
the fallout with Tennessee, before he know showed a practice,

841
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:52,440
he was shopping himself around and that Oregon was one

842
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:56,800
of this. According to ESPN's Pete Damil, representatives from iam

843
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,960
Aliava had reached out to Oregon as one of the teams,

844
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,159
but the Ducks were apparently not interested.

845
00:38:03,199 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 2: I talked about the Ducks. They have a quarterback battle

846
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:05,199
going on.

847
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,639
Speaker 3: They like Dante when we're the former five star Dan

848
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,400
Lanning had a press conference after Oregon's latest spring practice

849
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,920
if he had reached out to Josh Hipel, because there

850
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,519
is a report now that Dan Lanning called Josh Hipel

851
00:38:18,559 --> 00:38:21,519
and said, Hey, Nico's reaching out to other programs. I

852
00:38:21,599 --> 00:38:23,159
know this because he reached out to me. Now that

853
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:27,159
has neither been confirmed nor denied. But when asked about it,

854
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,079
Dan Lanning didn't exactly say no. He didn't confirm it,

855
00:38:31,119 --> 00:38:32,760
but he didn't deny. He said I'm not going to

856
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,800
get into anything except our scrimmage today. The Ducks worked

857
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,360
really hard at our practice. I'm happy with everything I

858
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,360
saw and I want to move forward there. And a

859
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,480
lot of people can say, oh, well, Dan Lanning's a snitch.

860
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,599
If this is true, like, honestly, props to Dan Lanning

861
00:38:48,639 --> 00:38:50,840
as well. There's not a lot of coaches out there

862
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,920
that would do that. I've always been a big Dan

863
00:38:53,039 --> 00:38:55,440
Lanning fan because I don't even like Oregon. I don't

864
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,480
even like Oregon until Dan Lanning got there. But if

865
00:38:59,519 --> 00:39:02,599
that's true, like, that's that's a classy move.

866
00:39:02,519 --> 00:39:03,159
Speaker 2: By Dan Lanning.

867
00:39:04,119 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 3: In a day and age in college football where every

868
00:39:07,079 --> 00:39:08,760
player goes to the school that's going to pay you

869
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,480
the most money, there's tampering, there's calling guys before they're

870
00:39:12,519 --> 00:39:14,960
even in the transfer portal. If this is true and

871
00:39:15,079 --> 00:39:17,320
this actually occurred with Dan Lanning, like shout out to

872
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:21,199
you as well, because you're giving Josh iipel a heads

873
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,679
up on Hey, you're starting quarterback, like might not be

874
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,719
as committed to you as you think. And you know what,

875
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,440
at some point that's gonna come back around on you.

876
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,719
If that happens in your program, I bet Joshipel's gonna

877
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,039
call you up and let you know. It's always good

878
00:39:32,039 --> 00:39:35,239
to have friends in this business. And look, josh Iipel

879
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,000
shout out for what he did. If the reports, again,

880
00:39:38,039 --> 00:39:40,519
these are just rumors at this point, nothing is confirmed.

881
00:39:40,599 --> 00:39:43,119
But if the report's about Lanning and calling Josh Hipel

882
00:39:43,159 --> 00:39:46,760
are true, like, good on you, Dan Lanning. I don't

883
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,559
hope they are true, because that's that's a good move

884
00:39:49,639 --> 00:39:52,639
in my opinion. All right, look, we're going to take

885
00:39:52,639 --> 00:39:55,119

perfect one for Alandra. Ask the Bench favorite British band.

00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:48,239

00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:49,559
def Leppard, a lot too.

946
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:51,639
Speaker 2: No, I didn't think about death one.

947
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 4: I guess I'll go with Oasis because I've been on

948
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:57,199
an Oasis kick lately.

949
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,599
Speaker 2: Cassie favorite British band.

950
00:43:02,599 --> 00:43:03,639
Speaker 7: I can't think of any right now?

951
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:05,079
Speaker 8: One direction?

952
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,760
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks Cassie. That was gonna be my answer.

953
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 8: Okay, Queen is British.

954
00:43:14,119 --> 00:43:17,199
Speaker 2: I think I think I'll go Queen. This guy.

955
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,159
Speaker 3: This shows you how much I know about British bands.

956
00:43:19,159 --> 00:43:21,440
We were in break and I said, hey, Lodger is

957
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,280
a Rolling Stones British. He said yeah, It's like, all right,

958
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,960
well that's my answer, So my answer will be the

959
00:43:27,159 --> 00:43:28,119
Rolling Stones.

960
00:43:28,519 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 8: Yeah. Led Zeppelin's great too.

961
00:43:30,599 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 3: Zeppelin's another good one. Ask the bench which saints QB

962
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,639
from past? Other than Drew Brees? Would you want to

963
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:43,519
be QB one right now? Over Derek Carr. People are

964
00:43:43,519 --> 00:43:49,159
gonna get mad about this, Honestly, Outside of Derek.

965
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,079
Speaker 2: Carr, I mean, uh, Drew Brees. I mean we'd have

966
00:43:52,159 --> 00:43:52,920
to go way back.

967
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,199
Speaker 3: I mean I'd have to go way back, like I'm

968
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,880
either going Archie Manning or Bobby Abear. But like in

969
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,239
recent history, can't think of any recent history. It might

970
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:06,760
be Derek Carr. No, not Jameis Winston, like Teddy Bridgewater.

971
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 8: Maybe probably your best bet.

972
00:44:09,039 --> 00:44:10,519
Speaker 3: I mean, look at look at the quarterbacks you've had

973
00:44:10,559 --> 00:44:14,280
between Breeze and Car Teddy Bridgewater, Jameis Winston, Taysom Hill,

974
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,440
I mean, Trevor Simeon, he was great.

975
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:21,159
Speaker 2: Remember Trevor Simmeyon about Ian Book? Like, I don't.

976
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:23,280
Speaker 3: I don't know if there's an answer, Like I'll go

977
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,920
way back and say Archie Manning or Bobby Abert. But yeah,

978
00:44:26,119 --> 00:44:32,159
outside of those guys, your Saints, your Saints quarterback not

979
00:44:32,519 --> 00:44:34,719
being great throughout history. So I mean people are gonna

980
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:38,719
be like, oh, well there's so many, there's there's really

981
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:39,320
not that many.

982
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:47,079
Speaker 2: Ask the bench and yep, Andy Daltons. What Jake would take?

983
00:44:47,119 --> 00:44:47,599
Andy Dalton?

984
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 3: I think him and him in car about even Yeah,

985
00:44:51,519 --> 00:44:53,880
I agree. Somebody said give me Ian Book.

986
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 2: I'm just not going I can't.

987
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 3: I can't give Ian Book. Ask the bench. How ugly

988
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,960
were those Auburn baseball uniforms on Friday?
