Speaker 1: I'll start Toyota Presents off the Bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: As Hester and Hester got it Fetta far.
Speaker 1: From carrying each other to and Natty to carrying each
other on the air well, there's prop control for the
Live from the Raising Kine Studio. It's off the bench.
Speaker 3: All right, Welcome back in our number three of o TV.
Here live from the Raising Kine Studio. Let's get to
our guy, Nick Underhill, New Orleans Dot Football talk a
little New Orleans Saints Nicholas, how we doing today, sir?
Speaker 4: No, no lot, This Greek so solid.
Speaker 3: That's true, That's very very true. You definitely got a
dub against week.
Speaker 5: To get you on video for two weeks in a row.
Speaker 3: I think we got to get a win. I think
it's you know, we save those for the wins. We
save those for the wins. And I think the Saints
are actually going to get a couple here down the
stretch before we get to the Saints, Nick, are you
mad that you don't get to track planes like the
college football world gets to do like plane tracker season?
Speaker 6: Are you upset by that?
Speaker 4: Well, I mean like I'm kind of kind of by
default in it because you know, one of our biggest
supporters in Orleans so football is Matt Bowers, and Matt
obviously is very tied in with the Ale miss progress.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm hearing a lot. I'm kind of living it
like I'm on the edge of my seat, you know,
I'm I'm highly interested in to see how this this
plays out. You know, I think it'd be incredibly interesting
to see how he operates at LSU. And you know,
I think Lane's kind of like a celebrity, so like
now she's you know, a little bit more of a platform,
I think, so like just kind of seeing how that
that marriage would Burke would be. You know, I think
kind of awesome. I think his his pettiness and you know,
just kind of that plays in a little bit of
the Louisiana type of psychology too. So I you know,
I kinda I kind of all that happens, I think
it'd be uh, I think it'd be just it'd be
fun at least it either be you know, it's gonna
be interesting. It's either gonna be interesting good or it'd
be a complete disaster. And either way, I'd be on
the edge of my seat to see what happens to
next nex.
Speaker 7: Since you kind of got your finger on the pulse
a little bit more on NFL. Of course in college,
are there any like rising stars in the NFL ranks
that you could see as a college coach or maybe
even a head coach that you can see as a
college head coach?
Speaker 4: Yeah, like that that type of I mean, the one
in this fields like such like like a lazy answer,
but I mean, like obviously, like my first thought when
this opened up is like you kind of look at
Joe Brady. I wonder if that would be a move
that he'd want to make. I don't know if he's
ready to lead a program and all that stuff. But
I think there's so much more goes into it now
that that it's almost like, you know, it's just a
about who can raise the most money and recruit the
best and play the portal the best, because like the
development aspect and all that stuff is just gone. I think,
like I don't think you get people on your campus
and and you're you're coaching them up and you're you're
building a program. It's just kind of like who can
get the guys there, manage the personalities, keep the thing
going and and win some games. That's why I think
Lane's like kind of perfect for this era of college
football because I don't think anyone and I don't mean
this as a slight like I don't think anyone would
would sit there and say that lanees x's and o's
or you know, he's he's not. He's not, he's not
Will Stein, you know, like it's it's he's a good coach,
like he puts together a good program. But I don't
think anyone thinks that he's like on the forefront of anything.
But I think all the other aspects and you know,
playing the portal and kind of just being in zomb
with the mottern way of building a program and running it.
You know, those aspects are the things that I think
you got to like figure out more so than even
just like this guy has a great scheme. I think
the scheme and all that stuff is like almost secondary
at this point, you know, kind of being like a
you kind of got to be like a little bit
of a GM tied in with it. And I know
everyone has the GM now, but like you know, you
kind of got to just just keep building him or
you know, keating guys out of the portal rais of
money shaking hands. You got to make people like that.
You got to make people want to send in their
their their money. You know, I think there's just so
much more to it now that that It's like leading
the boosters is as important as having a good playbook.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's man certainly a different time. It is certainly
something that you've got to, you know, wear a lot
of different hats if you're going to be a head
football coach in college football now compared to what it
used to be at least you know, roster decisions and
money and you kind of do have a salary cap now,
it is certainly a different game. All right, Let's get
to the New Orleans Saints there, Nick, and I really
think like they've got a chance in these last seven
games when you look at who they've got coming up,
when you look at where the other teams are as
far as their injury report, who they have available. Now
with with me saying that, look, I'm a meat heead
I want to win football game, and so like I
want them to go four and three in the next
seven because I think they can. But if you're a
Saints fan, what should you want? Like should you want
a better draft pick. Should you want some wins to
create continuity with the new staff and moving forward and
create some momentum. Like where do you think most Saints
fans are in these final seven games?
Speaker 4: Well, I think if they go four and three, that
means you It doesn't definitely mean it, but it probably
means you have an answer at quarterback. And like who
cares that draft draft? Win every game? Like if you
have the answer at quarterback, like it doesn't matter, Like
you're your biggest problem solved, and that should be kind
of what you're you're excited about. So if you're winning
four games and you're picking four games, man, like I
think four wins right now will put you picking tent
I think so like if you end up with like
six wins out of the season, you're probably picking eleven
or twelve. So it's kind of a cupcakes takes schedule
here going down the stretch a little bit, So it
would definitely be possible to win four Maybe maybe you know,
be where the Falcons were at the end of last season,
where you think Pennix is the guy, but it turns
out like maybe you didn't get the pick right even
before the injury. But yeah, look, I think I think
as we hear these things out, like at the top, one,
you should want them to win games because the quarterback
is leading you to the victories, and if you feel
great about that, that's awesome, you know. I think going
down a little bit like it's worse if you win
games and you're at the end of the season and
you're like, ah, man, I don't know, that would be
a bad place to be, and then it's the quarterback strucks,
Like I think you should want them to lose every
game so that you have a chance to get in Mendoza.
But yeah, I think if I if I were sitting
at home watching this team and I'm conflicted over what
I want to have happened, I think you absolutely want
the quarterback to just play like he did last week
against Carolina, and he's not going to do that every week.
But you saw the ceiling, and if you keep seeing
the ceiling and you see that three, four or five
more times down the stretch, I think that that you're
in a great spot and it shouldn't be out. They
suck the whole first half of the season and they
blew it and picked seven. I think if that's the case,
Like you should be looking at it like, oh man,
they got like the quarterback at fortieth and they got
him thirty picks later, then they probably should have. And
if you're in that spot like that, that's the best
place to be, Like the quarterbacks everything, Like you've got
Miles Garrett on your team, getting forty five stocks the season,
and you're still losing to the Baltimore Ravens. Like so,
I mean, if you have that quarterback answer, I think
it's just a lot easier to answer everything else. And
if you got your quarterback at forty and he's the guy,
I think every other decision becomes so much easier, Like
you can go pay Chris lave whatever and it doesn't
matter because you got your quarterback and he's on the
rookie deal. And I just think things start falling into
place that you aren't you know, possibly still keetering on
the edge of like you know, if you don't have
the QD now, like what's to say that that you're
getting them in the next draft. Like you look at
Bright shng he's number one pick, Like he ain't the answer.
So if you have it in house, man, it just
becomes so much easier. So I think that that's I
think that's what Stains fan should want, is to win
games because of the quarterback.
Speaker 7: I think he also said if your quarterback shucks, then
you get a high pick.
Speaker 6: Yeah he did, I did that.
Speaker 7: All right, Let's talk about a team that doesn't have
their quarterback this week, which is the Atlanta Falcons, Michael
Pennocks being reported that he will be out the remainder
of the season.
Speaker 5: We got Kirk.
Speaker 7: Thuggins coming to town, so we were kind of talking
about on the show earlier earlier today and talking about
I don't know, man, I don't know if the Saint
I think the Saints probably would have rather see Pinnix
than Kirk Cousins, even though he's coming off of it
of course an Achilles injury.
Speaker 5: And all that stuff.
Speaker 7: But what do you make of Kirk stepping in and
leading the Falcons this week?
Speaker 4: I'm glad you said that because I texted Triple It
Yesterday'm like, man, like, is this is this good or not? Like?
I don't know, Like ID is not great, Like he
just has like I think he has moments. You know,
I think he obviously has great traits, but it just
hasn't really come together, and their office just kind of
feels limited, and they aren't winning a lot of games.
And I know, like the exposures that the Cousins haven't
been necessarily great last year that you know, he looked
kind of off coming back from the injury, but he's like,
you know, a full year removed from not coming off
the bench. He didn't look great, but like maybe with
a full week of prep, like maybe maybe they have
a higher feeling.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: Taking Drake London out I think hurts quite a bit,
But yeah, I'm with you guys, Like I think there's
definitely a there's at least a reality where they're a
better team with him a quarterback.
Speaker 7: You know, I like a pissed off, like veteran quarterback
with something that he feels that he's got to prove.
Speaker 5: Is kind of a dangerous quarterback.
Speaker 4: No doubt about it. Yeah that's a great point. Yeah,
the motivation aspect of it proved the world wrong. Yeah,
Kirk being pissed off and fired up and all that stuff. Yeah,
it's definitely definitely makes it an interesting matchup. And yeah,
he's he's obviously a very capable guy, and I like
I just think it was it was the health thing
last year. And then you know, they also were just
kind of like doing some stuff with the scheme that
I don't think necessarily fit him all the way. So
like maybe you have a little bit of a more
cohesive vision this time. You know, they don't have him
operating not a pistol constantly, which is something that he
hasn't hadn't done a lot. So yeah, possibly possibly a
scarier matchup for them with the quarterback change. You know,
there was moments early in the season where I was
wondering if they were going to go back to the
Cousins because I don't know, man, like the Pendax thing,
just like just going back to the last thing, Like
it just kind of feels like the worst spot to
be in is like where you get to the end
and you're like, like, this could be the guy got
a lot in best to them, but like don't know,
And then you roll into the season and you tried
cater to it and you just kind of started throwing
good money after badge, trying to make the quarterback work,
and I don't know where that one's gonna leave with.
That is four D a Celtair, Like even just on that level.
It just it just that whole thing, like I don't
know what happens to the Falcons at the end of
this se like it And you know, obviously Kerry fin
Though useduld be your GM there did a lot of
stuff here, but like that just doesn't feel like that
that has gone together very well. And then you know
Pattan's going down like that. That's just like I.
Speaker 7: Think I saw somewhere those like five of the last
eight years of Michael Pennock's playing football, he has missed
the end of the season with like a knee injury
of some sort, which is.
Speaker 5: Which is feel terrible for the kid.
Speaker 7: But you got a Kirk cousin who is he is
still one of the top highest paid quarterbacks in the league.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I kind of expect them to play well,
and that felt crazy. Yeah, I think he's gonna be
I think he's gonna be good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Nick, what do you make of the NFC South.
We've talked about the Falcons, obviously, we talked about the Saints.
You mentioned h Bryce Young there, but the Panthers are
like half a game right now. I mean, it's the
Bucks and it's the Panthers. I mean, I don't know
that I've ever really seen the team like the Panthers.
It's like if they play you know, bad teams, they're bad.
They play good teams, they're good, and they're just they're
finding a way to kind of win these games some way, somehow.
They're down two scores at halftime and they force overtime.
They win the game last week against the Falcons, Like what,
like what what is the South?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 6: Who are the Panthers.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be honest when I'm when I'm watching you know,
the lead back on Monday that I don't put on
the skid, so like I'm not I'm.
Speaker 3: Not, like, but they were a game out from first
place and where I mean, we're only got seven games left.
Speaker 4: Like last week watching them, I was like, this is
this is the team, like you know, and you kind
of see the reactions and people are like, oh, it's
like Bryce Young the guy, like is he putting it together?
And it's like, no, Gray shocking the guy like putting
it together? Like that looks terrible. But I don't know
if it's like a one game stample or whatever. But yeah,
very very weird division. I mean, it's always it's just
kind of been like this forever where it's just like
a ton of mediocrity and and no one ever really
like breaks all the way out, like you're kind of
waiting for the for like you know, it's supposed to
be the Falcons were supposed to be the team and
then they aren't, and yeah, I don't know. It's also
like the wildest thing here is like Panics goes down
their season screwed, they went all in for the past Rush,
they traded their pick. The Falcons might lose the division,
have a top five pick. The Rams got that pick.
The Rams might you know, they're a legitimate super Bowl
Like the Rams could win the Super Bowl and pick
top five like they might. The Falcons might end up
getting so bad, so bad that they get the Stafford
like replacement with that pick, and the Falcons are going
to be sitting there with Kirk Cousins and you know,
just not a long term answer at that position, Like
very very questionable decision.
Speaker 5: There for the uh what do you think I mean?
Speaker 7: Of course, there's not a lot of news coming out
for the Saints this past week, and except for I
guess Gail Benson made some headlines with her comments about
Mickey Loomis.
Speaker 5: What'd you What's your take on all that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been kind of an interesting interview overall. Like
I was surprised she knew who Luke Fortner was. That
was my biggest takeaway, Like I just like, I don't know,
it was just kind of it was a surprising. It
was just kind of like a surprising interview overall. You know,
the one the one thing that kind of like stuck
in my my I don't stuck in my cross that's
a phrase, like the one thing that kind of bothered
me a little bit about it was just kind of
like the whole like I don't know what else I'm
supposed to do, Like, well, like you could, you could
do a lot of things like this isn't There's always
more you can do, you know, it's a purchases of
the Saints, you know. I think just my take on
the whole Mickey thing is like I don't think it's
totally outrageous that you have the GM, You allow him
to try to put together a staff after your last
coach suddenly retires, they try to hold on that flows up.
It just feels to me like this is like okay, cool,
you let him hire the second coach. Fine Shampayton. If
this doesn't work, though, like that's got to be it.
And I think that that's just kind of the where
I'm at with it overall. Uh, you know, I just
I thought something the messaging there was weird. I thought
the timing of it was a little bit was a
little bit weird too. You know, like you're coming off
a good performance by your your rookie quarterback and then
like you do this interview during a bye week and
then it's just like everyone's just sitting with it for
a whole week and like, you know, we're talking about
it today like it was a week ago because there
wasn't a game and the story hasn't changed, and like
it's just sitting there. So just like I was surprised
that she did it, you know, I will say that that,
you know, credit to her for coming out and saying
something at least and like not just sitting there in
silence and letting people fill in the gaps. Like you know,
it's kind of a no win situation in that way,
because like you can't come out and be like, you know,
I hate everybody, and these people all stay like so
you know if you're gonna talk like you kind of
got to got to give support of everything. So yeah,
I mean, like it's just it's just felt like I
don't know, I don't I just don't know what to
think of it, Like I don't know what to make
of any of it. Like we're figuring out how this
stuff like operates overall, Like I don't know like how
she acts where she's gonna act until you see it,
you know, the the firing of Willie Green, the firing
at Dennis Allen shows the leaf that like they will
make moves when things are bad. So it's like I
just want to see like the right actions where they
make sense, when they make sense, and messaging can be
you know, whatever it is, And that would be where
I'm at with what's kind of where this is at.
Like if you get to the end of this and
it doesn't work like I think, I think you you
just objectively have to move on, Like you don't get
to do a fourth regime if the last two failed,
So you know when when that comes, when push comes
to shot like that, that's what I would want to see.
What she says today doesn't really like move the needle
for me, but you know, I felt like there was
a no win situation and that's just like what more
can I do? Was like, well, that's that's that kind
of seems like a weird thing to say.

Speaker 6: It was a snake was incredible and the yeah.
Speaker 5: Talk about no Kia phones on.
Speaker 9: About to say, because y'all, y'all were there when there

Speaker 5: A razor. That was my first phone. Was the next
of the noise that made it was like did it
or something like that? Wasn't it? It was like one
quick little everyone quick off the top of your head.
What does it sound like?
Speaker 2: I gave you mine.
Speaker 6: Anyway, a.
Speaker 7: Little give me a sound effect. I don't know, I
don't know what does it sound like like. I think
if we heard what the next noise sounded like, it
would be so nostalgic. We would like go back to
West Campus apartments. Probably it would transport us there.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm blasts in the past.
Speaker 7: Drove by West Campus recently. I want to drive by
there the outside apartment eight fourteen. Getting getting to uh
you how to go see the dean of I got
in trouble, me and me and old Peter dak cows
I got in trouble a couple of times at West Campus.
Speaker 3: Peter Daikowski flooded my room at West Campus from a bud.
Speaker 7: We didn't get in trouble. We had to go see
the Dean of something, Dean of something or another over there.
Speaker 3: Apartment because he flooded his toilet and it got so
backed up that it leaked into my room.
Speaker 9: I wasn't there the dookie juice from the toilet.
Speaker 3: Ye, they had to come in and like, just oh
clean everything. Luckily it was like during a break, so
I didn't have anything just like juice.
Speaker 7: It was yeah, yeah, yeah, it wasn't butn't the dookie
juice as Jordan.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I heard that before, never can't. I can't unhear that.
Speaker 7: We get in trouble the first year, one of the
years because we put Christmas lights up during Christmas time
on the balcony.
Speaker 6: Really in trouble. How dare you right?
Speaker 5: Was the Lord Christmas?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I couldn't put Christmas lights on. Apparently couldn't have fee
like it was. Was it one of those you could
have like anything on the rails? I don't know. We
got some to the principal's office. I didn't listen.
Speaker 10: You couldn't like air dry or underwear over the rail.
That seems un American. That seems on American Christmas lights.
That's a weird, weird take by alsue, weird stance they
took there. Yeah, definitely we got in trouble again another time.
Speaker 7: Because we had old adult beverage bottles displayed up with
a highlighter inside it with water and.
Speaker 5: A highlight on them so they glowed. Not a big deal.
Speaker 6: What I remember that.
Speaker 7: So you can get like an old like liquor bottle
that you can filled up with water and then take
the insert of a highlighter out and put it in
there and it like clows.
Speaker 5: Not a big deal, all right, that's what the classy
people do.
Speaker 6: Some would say, yeah, what kind of what kind of
bottle was it?
Speaker 5: That's a lot of different ones. We didn't discriminate.
Speaker 6: What's the one that had the gold flakes in it?
Speaker 5: Gold?
Speaker 7: That's like everybody has that one that they can't go
back to if they had a bad experience because we're kids,
young and dumb, you know. Yeah, so what I had
like old smears on my face.
Speaker 9: Jaeger's diabolical. That is some of the worst stuff ever
had my life ever.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well diabholic.
Speaker 9: You get a bottle of Jaeger comes with a with
a free wife, Peter, Like, it's just like those go
hand in hand, Those go hand in hand.
Speaker 2: M m.
Speaker 6: So what you what did you have to do?
Speaker 5: Like I don't remember. I think we said, like to
write a write a letter, an apology letter?
Speaker 2: What in college?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Something?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Did you apologize to yah? In order to apologize to someone,
you have to wrong somebody? Right, who were you apologize?

guess what bude about to become the fifty first state.
Speaker 6: I bet he hated that.
Speaker 5: Actually, he ran for office plenty of times. I think
he's still in that world.
Speaker 7: He was like one of the few people that ran
as a conservative in a very very.
Speaker 5: I think, like the most like little area of Canada.
Speaker 6: Actually, so he didn't win.
Speaker 3: They actually did pretty well though, okays Peter Daikowski. He's
left tackle in six probably right tackle, right tackle on
strong strong dude, I think he played both, but he
played Brian Johnson. Mm hmmm, because Whitworth and O four

been left tackle then. Yeah, lot to look it up,
all right. He also won a game show Smartest Canadian
Game Show, Smartest Canadian?

Turned into like a real ping pong match.
Speaker 5: Yeh, play games to win, Bud.
Speaker 3: That's that's really where I saw T Bob's true colors
for the first time. As a young freshman Lake Beau prey, like,
wait a minute, how did you make it here?
Speaker 6: Freshman? How did you get in here?
Speaker 7: He found a way on his recruiting trip and an
arm sling cause I think he had surgery in his shoulder,
like broken collar bone and he was uh with an
arm sling, pole dancing and bog.
Speaker 9: I think he said that before. I think he say
said I'm not mistaken. I think I was here when
he told that story. Y.
Speaker 3: I uh like, how like I never had to really
host like recruits. I guess they were like, I mean,
like I get too crazy, then maybe want somebody else
that I always tell the story. But the only time
I ever was asked was by Jim But and it
was for Tim Tebow like hey, we want you, We
want you to host him and you know, do blah
blah blah, and we think, y'all you know, match up
or whatever.
Speaker 6: And I'm like, okay, I don't know who this guy is,
but we have and we had a big win. I forget.
It was like a big sec win.
Speaker 3: So like we were all going out, like we're gonna
go to Fred's and we're going to celebrate victory. And
I remember, so I had him, and you want to
go to the movies after the game movies. It was
like one of those two thirty CBS games, so you
got like, yeah, you had time to like go home, shower,
get ready, go out, and like you want to go
to the movies. And I was like, hey, I think
I think I got this guy's number. Here's Luke Sanders number,
and pawn him off on Luke and Luke far like thanks, Bud.
I'm like, I don't think.
Speaker 6: I want to go to the movies. I think I'm
gonna go celebrate the victory at Fred's with our with
our teammates. I don't think I'm gonna.
Speaker 7: Go to the movie fucking a popcorn right now? No, yeah,
go to the movies with him.
Speaker 3: I don't know what Luke, Luke, if you're listening, shout
out to Luke, Uh, did you take Tim Tebow to
the movies?
Speaker 10: I was just wondering if like they shared a popcorn
bucket or something.
Speaker 3: I don't know, just oh, if I know Luke, he
probably went out with us. But that was the only
person I could think to pawn him off. And I'm like, hey,
here's Luke's number, called Luke. Maybe y'all can go meet
up at the picture show.
Speaker 5: I got the tickets.
Speaker 6: Yeah, tickets.
Speaker 3: I'll get the tickets because I gotta get this recruiting money.
Speaker 7: I did it a little bit more they I was
kind of I was kind of like the closer.
Speaker 2: There was the closer they got to call you in
when we need a guy.
Speaker 5: Yeah we are.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I am the reason t Bow didn't come here.
Speaker 3: I mean, would you want to go to the movies
after like beating Auburn at home close?
Speaker 5: Not even no, no, but.
Speaker 6: Everybody's going out and having a good time.
Speaker 9: That's such a strange request. Yeah, can we do the movies?
Speaker 3: Look look like I get I mean, look, yeah, he
didn't party, didn't go out.
Speaker 2: You know, that's just a little a little crazy. See.
Speaker 9: I never I never was the star athlete to get
recruited like that, because if I wanted to be on
a recruiting trip, I wanted to be just like how
he got game was what ray Allen Jesus Shuttles were. Yeah,
that's how I always expected it to be, like pull up,
got the chicks. We you know, we just yeah real
talk like that.
Speaker 6: Okay, everybody's just different. I don't know how. I don't
know how yours were who your host was.
Speaker 3: But so when I came, everybody was they were off
because I didn't come until December. We played I think
we played in the state championship game, and then like
since we were already down here, we drove up and
that was my official visits.
Speaker 6: Like nobody was on campus, and I'll never forget.
Speaker 3: They were like, hey, don't take him to New Orleans,
like whatever you do, Like you can't do that, like
can't go to New Orleans, you get treading money whatever, whatever,
and not like I didn't know any better.
Speaker 6: And so.
Speaker 3: About fifteen minutes into it, the guy that was my
host was like, hey, let's go to New Orleans. So
we ended up down in New Orleans on my official
visit because there was nobody.
Speaker 5: You don't remember who was I do? Okay, I do,
I do no, But it was.
Speaker 6: You know what a mat It was Dug. It was
Doug planted shout out to Duck.
Speaker 3: And we ended up in New Orleans like fifteen minutes,
like the decision was made, and so that's where we
ended up hung out there because like he's like, I
don't want to show you l nobody's here, everybody's back
home or whatever. And so that was where we spent
our time because there wasn't a game or anything going on,
so we were smart safe.
Speaker 6: We had a driver.
Speaker 3: Nice uh yeah, flaming doctor Pepper's probably yeah, probably something
like that little hydration crazy.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: That was That was my official visit and it was
kind of a weird time just because that was like
the only week we could really.
Speaker 6: Fit it in.
Speaker 5: One was I was a very tame for for real.
It was macas my host. Come on.
Speaker 7: And again it wasn't like it wasn't a game the
game weekend situation.
Speaker 5: We actually did go to the movies.
Speaker 6: No, oh, he's sitting there the whole time. Damn store,
He's like Taylor.
Speaker 5: We did cheer a bucket of popcorn.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't find these jokes.
Speaker 5: Also went to.
Speaker 7: I was there for like two nights. It was like
like mad had a host me for two nights because
it wasn't a game, so it's like there's two nights.
You did like the dinners with the team and all
that stuff.
Speaker 3: Sullivans where they used to take us too, that we
went to.
Speaker 7: I had some big, some big at the top of
the building downtown. At the time, it was I think
it was like the Chase building downtown. I don't remember
what it is now, but there's a top level up there,
and I had some fancy up there. Remember clab crab
claws mm hmm.
Speaker 9: See, yeah, that's I can only imagine how these new
visits go, especially with this n IO money going around, Like,
I can only imagine how wicked these visits really are.
And then like how important because I know it's a
video game, but you know, if you if you bring
a stop a top cruits to this game, you end
up losing. It's definitely an effect. So have you ever
had to have this top recruit that you were I
guess you're shadowing or partnering whatever you're doing chaperoning them,
and l you end up losing. You gotta like, hey, man,
you know, I know we lost, but you know we're
still still a good team.
Speaker 6: But I don't know.
Speaker 3: I never hosted like TVO was like literally the only
person they ever tried to have look like they weren't dumb,
like lsu knew what they were doing, just like all
these schools like hey, let's put them with this guy.
Speaker 6: We know this guy is going to show him a
good time. I wasn't that guy.
Speaker 7: Make sure you'll have fun, not too much fun, but
a lot of fun, the right amount of fun. Yeah, yeah,

Speaker 3: You're welcome, not hashtag, asked the manches kiffing better off
calling old missus bluff.
Speaker 6: So whoever hires him doesn't have to pay a buyout.
You would still have to give that over. I mean
they're not gonna like fire him. They're just like, I'm
not gonna fire him, Like.
Speaker 2: I know the game probable, cause they're not.
Speaker 6: They're not gonna do that.
Speaker 3: Asked the bench, how do I get a value on
my childhood's football card binder? There's plenty of apps now
where you literally just take a picture of the card, yep,
and it gives you like the latest sales and kind
of an average of what.
Speaker 5: The card would be.
Speaker 7: We'll say, if you're around our age, which is around forty,
probably most of your cards are not worth anything, true,
because all those like baseball cards from the mid nineties
are like worthless.
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah they yeah, so like when we were growing up,
like all of that from like eighty eight to ninety.
Speaker 5: Five, Like, yeah, there's basket, there's good basketball. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Football, No, though, really they mass produced baseball, baseball masks.
They mass produce like every card and so like, so's
just too many of them, like Upper Deck. I'm sure
there are some like very very very I mean like ten.
Speaker 5: Didn't they call it like the wax era or something
like that.
Speaker 3: Uh, this one's for Jordan Hashtag asked a bench any
suggestions who the Pelicans.

you you're reaching for straws, bro like you don't really
have anything going for you. You thought Barrego was gonna
give you a little bit interim boost, but I mean again,
you played the Warriors in the Okay, see who was
always bt A every time? Okay, see anybody? Anybody? Okay,
see ses bt A. So it's just you.
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, it is ault two ass for
how many acronyms you just give us.
Speaker 9: You know, I didn't want to know if I could
say it on the air, So you can definitely definitely
we don't celebrate it, you know, but if you ask me,
you just got to roll Barrego for now and then
hopefully you can throw enough money at Mike Malone or
Taylor Jenkins in an off season and try and so.
Speaker 6: You don't bring in somebody.
Speaker 9: Now, it's more about if you don't have your first round.
If I'm Mike Malone, why am I to hop off
my couch to come close to and look?
Speaker 6: I like Queen.
Speaker 3: I think Queen is a great player, but my god,
he's gonna be probably player.
Speaker 9: But like, unprotect your first round picks. Oh no, no,
no pick. The pick was terrible don't get me wrong,
but all you have to do is throw a top
three protected you was fine.
Speaker 5: We're probably pretty big. Like Free Agent Destination too.

I like.
Speaker 6: New Orleans me too. We still got some seconds left.
