Speaker 1: All start to what you want to presents. Off the
bench with Jacob Hester and t Bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Off the bench with Jacob Hester and se Bob aber.
Speaker 2: I gotta come off the bench.
Speaker 1: Now here's Jacob Hester and t Bob Abert.
Speaker 2: What hell did y'all? Welcome back to TV.
Speaker 3: By the way, guys, those Nutcracker dates which shout out
to Melanie in the entire batage, because this is a beautiful,
stunning Nutcracker that I like Clara will cherish dearly and
hope that Taylor doesn't break like Fritz does. But those
dates are December fourteenth and fifteenth, so right around Christmas time.
You want to come check out a legendary original bat
Rooge production tailor, you know, a Nutcracker on the buyo right.
It's been going on for over twenty years. And as
she says, the wonderful Johnna Cox our new director, and
she is just ever vest She's awesome. I absolutely love her.
The kids are great. It's gonna be a ton of fun.
That's December fourteenth and fifteen, two and six PMS. Go
ahead and plan your outing, Nick Underhill, you will you
bring your wife? Why don't you and your wife come
watch me in The Nutcracker December fourteenth at six pm
and enjoy yourself a little holiday cheer.
Speaker 2: What do you what part you got not to brag?
I am the Purple Party Dad.
Speaker 3: It includes it may not be a named role, but
it does include about thirty minutes of stage time.
Speaker 2: You know. I mean that's a long time, you know,
I'm saying, dude. I carry some dolls.
Speaker 3: I do the fake spank clap, which is a lot
of pressure for my tiny hands. It really is one
of the performance Last year I had a clap that
you could barely hear. It was pathetic. Everybody was laughing
at me. My sons, my fake sons and daughters are
clowning me. My fake wife was ready to leave me
on the spot. So one for two in claps. This year,
we're trying to go two for two either way. Point is,
you know, I'm laying the groundwork now. Who knows what
role I can eventually worked my way up to. But
Purple Party Dead.
Speaker 4: Uh, it's pretty if you If you need some some advice,
I played the Nutcracker in my third grade play, so
I mean, you know, okay.
Speaker 2: Dude, was this a was this a dance.
Speaker 4: No, it was like we just put on like a little,
a little third grade production of the Nutcracker, and uh,
yeah I got the part.
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
Speaker 3: Man, It's funny because I was just saying I was
the same way and that like that was my favorite
thing in like elementary school in junior high where like
the school plays and then football took over and I
could never do them again. So this was like me, uh,
finally getting to fulfill my younger thesbian dreams.
Speaker 2: And it is so much fun. Guys, So come out
and see the show. Have you never been?
Speaker 3: It's beautiful, It's stunning. It really is fantastic. Also beautiful
studying and fantastic. But in the last two games under
the rizzler, Nick and uh and now we've had a
bye week, right to kind of calm down, catch your breath. See, okay,
this new normal. This how we're gonna do things. What
are you hearing? And by the way, you all have
had a lot of great pieces recently. I really enjoyed
a character piece, right, I really enjoyed the Brian young
one from Mike. I enjoyed your sit down with Ak
and kind of look into his mindset, how he does things.
But what are you hearing out of that building in
this bye week? Like, in terms of how things are
going with now, it seems like kind of catch your
breath and some of the newness is gone, and now
it's like, Okay, let's lock in for this final push
and see if we can do something.
Speaker 4: I think people are so extremely positive. I feel like
that they're really happy with the schedule this week. They
get Thursday off, so they're practicing today, Wednesday, and Friday.
I mean that's a nice little thing for you know,
the players get to be home on Thanksgiving and everything.
It's also one of those things where if they don't
win this week, then you look back at it and
you're like, damn, they could add four practices this week,
so it could backfire on them.
Speaker 5: You know, they kind of need to win this game.
Speaker 4: But you know, I think they're really happy with how
things have gone so far. But I think the real
proof is about to come up because you got some
games that are that are going to be a little
bit tougher. And the Rams are a five and sixteen,
but they don't feel like a five and six team.
And I feel like this is a game where you
can really make a case Commanders, even though they've only
beat one team with the winning record this year, that's
kind of a game that that's a measuring stick. They
might be a little bit foogazi, but we're going to
find that out on the stretch. And then obviously the
Packers is a real big game. But I think this
Rams one, I think there's a there's a real opportunity
here to show a material difference between the level of
preparedness from last year to this year.
Speaker 5: They played the Rams.
Speaker 4: It was a Thursday night game, but that was the
most broken I think maybe, and I don't think I'm
being hyperbolic here, I think it was maybe the most
broken we saw. The defense under Dennis Allen during his
entire tenure, going back to when he was a defensive coordinator,
were shattered by the motion. They just could not cover.
They could not be assignment sound guys running into you know,
getting caught by surprise by pick plays and red routes
and all this stuff. That's just hallmarks of that Rams
defense or Rams offense. The Saints defense was not ready
for it. I think going into this game, coming off
of bye you have to show that you can do
all that stuff, that you're ready for it, that you
have a plan, it's cohesive, and I think if you
do that, like that's just a start right there. That's
a good showing for you. But for me, Look, I
don't know what the criteria is going to need to
be at the end of the season.
Speaker 5: It's really tough to say.
Speaker 4: They could get to you know, six and two hundred Rizzy, however,
and I don't know what it looks like at the end,
Like that might be enough where you're like, yes, they
have to iron them. It might not be enough, But
I do think that winning, you know, I keep saying it.
For me, I feel like my barometer needs to be
two out of three out of these games with the Rams,
the Commanders and the Packers, and you got to look.
Speaker 5: At and all of them. You should smoke.
Speaker 4: The Giants, I'm not really going to give you it
for that, Like they don't you know, they just cut
their quarterback. The Raiders, I have Gardner Minshew anymore. Like
those aren't going to be the convincing games. These are
the games where you have to make your case. I
think he has a real opportunity right now, and I
think everyone's really bought in. But I do think that
kind of from a macro sense and ownership sense, Mickey
Loomis sense that the proof is about to come. Like
there's a nice little start, you got a nice win,
two wins. Now now's the time to really kind of
start proving something. And I think that starts this weekend.
Speaker 6: What's kind of like the general feel around the building
as far as where they want this season to go.
It felt like we you know, were draft choices and
where can you draft?
Speaker 2: And they're finally going to draft.
Speaker 6: A quarterback and then they start to win games and
then the rest of the NFC South started to lose games.
Is they're a real belief that they can find a
way to maybe sort of kind of get into the postseason.
Speaker 4: I think they're really going to try. I mean, I
think that's where they want the season to go. And
if they managed to win, you know, this weekend and
then they beat the Giants, and I think the Falcons
have the Chargers and somebody else vikings like they could
be theoretically if they steal this game, they could theoretically
be in a position to be in first place in
two weeks in a really bad division. So I think
they're going to try to chase out where do they
want it to go? You know, I I think they're
all in on on that, which you know, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I go back and forth on it.
Speaker 4: It's it's more fun the end of the season to
watch this pursuit, and I'd love to see him really
make a real run at it. I think we kind
of watch sports to see something improbable happen. And if
Rizzy finds a way to get this team into the
playoffs is insane as it sounds like, that's a much
more fun story. But if they shoot for that goal,
and they are shooting for that goal and they come
up short, and then we're sitting here in March, it's
gonna be like, damn, you know, too bad they beat
the Rams. They could have been picking six instead of
you know ten. But uh, you know I I don't
think that's just a realistic thing that they're gonna they're
gonna try to do. I think they're gonna try to
be all in on this and Rizzy show to make
his case. The players love them and they're trying to
make a case for Rizzy. So where's it going. I mean,
I think that's what they're shooting for. I still think
it unrealist stick to see them in the playoffs, But
if they win this weekend, like maybe maybe it's SARTs
to feel little bit more real.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and and and it's.
Speaker 3: We've talked about it at length, but like obviously the
players and coaches they're not gonna take. They don't have
the the security of like they can't they can't afford to.
Speaker 2: They have to keep a job. They have to show
that they can do this job.
Speaker 3: So it's like, if you're going to truly tank, then
you got to do base what the Giants are doing, right,
you got to like Bencher starting quarterback, upgrade the third
string guy all the way to the top. Obviously, the
Saints you're not going to do that. Do you think
there's value in.
Speaker 2: Content?
Speaker 3: And I know I probably sounds like I'm speaking out
both sides of my mouth because I was on like
wanting them to lose much possible, but then I didn't
want to lose Falcons. Then I don't want to lose
to the Browns on the two and seven Browns, And
now it's like, I mean, I don't know, dude, let's
just see, Like maybe it's not the worst thing to
stick with an interim, guys, you kind of let the
cap reset and everything else over the next coupleany So, Yeah,
I've kind of come around to it that, hell, go
out there, do everything you can, and maybe there's some
value in trying to maintain a culture of striving to win.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean the other part of this, too, is is
intellectually there's obviously, like you aren't gonna be playoffs, it's
better to have it like obviously, like obviously that's the
best outcome if you aren't making the playoff.
Speaker 5: You want to have the highest pick possible.
Speaker 4: But man, it is suck watching football here for like
four years now, and now that it's a little bit fun,
like it's it's not the worst thing in the world, Like.
Speaker 5: I enjoy watching I've enjoyed watching.
Speaker 4: Them play the last two weeks. It's it's more fun.
Like it's just it's been bad football. It's been horrible.
You got to two week teas at the beginning of
the season, and now it just doesn't suck on Sundays.
I'm not sitting there on Saturday like damn, like I
gotta what am I going to talk about on Sunday.
What am I going to talk about when I come
on with T, Bob and Jake, Like it's gonna be like, yeah,
so depressing, Like it's not depressing anymore. And I think
there's value to that. And I think there's value to
that in the locker room too. I mean, there definitely is.
And we saw it last year. And as much as
everybody wanted shift last year, you saw that kind of
healing process happened last year. Now you might see that
healing process happen and it leads to somewhere actually materially better.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I talk out of both sides of
my mouth consistently because the draft pick. Yes, want a
better draft pick, but also like, damn it, this is
not a bad place to exist right now. And you know,
they could get smoked this weekend and we're right back
on it, and this could be another two week mirage.
It might just be like a little candle light in
the cave or whatever. But you know, maybe maybe it
turns into being something a little bit better. And you know,
I'm here to see if it goes that far. I'm
open to it. And they aren't going to tank anyhow.
So it is what it is. At this point, it
just kind of kind of see what happens and maybe
try to find a way to get to something better
by winning these games.
Speaker 6: It does feel different. I mean it doesn't feel like
it's been just kind of luck over the last.
Speaker 2: Couple of weeks.
Speaker 6: Like we could go across different position groups and say, Okay,
well this group looks better. This group's doing things that
they haven't done. And also like players like Cam Jordan
is playing more snaps. He was down to playing like
fifteen to twenty snaps per game. Now he's back in
the forties. And so I don't think it's just been
like luck or maybe even who you've played. I mean
you lose or sorry, you beat a Cleveland Browns team,
then they go beat one of the better teams in
the NFL. I mean, I think this is just people
are elevating their play. I think they changed up enough
Nick where it does look different and there's not gimmicky
and it's not luck.
Speaker 4: I think we're in a place where we can speak
safely and speak to truth. Because look, I mean I
think it was time for Da to go obviously, like
he needed to go, and I think everything that happened
set up circumstances to where they made a decision that
they never would have made if all these players hadn't
gotten injured. But I do think now that he's gone,
can we admit that injuries are actually a part of
the problem, a little bit like maignificant difference. Starting quarterback matters.
You know, you're down seven offensive starters, it's going to
be hard to win games. So I think getting guys
back healthy has been a huge part of it as well.
But to your point, Jake, yeah, I mean the d line,
they got a better plan there and they're playing much
much better. You're getting production out of like nobody wide receivers.
The tight ends are making some plays now kind of
out of necessity.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: I do think that the cornerback plays take dip back,
and I think that's probably one of the bigger stories,
kind of going down to the stretcher, because I think
it carries in the next season. If a Lante and
koliater the answer, you're scratching a high value position off
the list of needs. If they are not the answer,
you're adding a high value position to the list of needs.
And now you're at you know, d end offensive tackle,
potentially quarterback, wide receivers become a high value position, and cornerback,
so like you need all five of them. Kind of
scratching one of those off the list would be a
huge thing, especially with the resources they put in. But
it's look questionable Sean LOFs, So that's a huge thing
to answer. But I think everybody's playing with more energy.
I think they've been more detail oriented. I think there's
still some work to do on some of those like details,
but it has felt like a cleaning up, and the
buying is unquestionably significantly higher than it was before. And
I think, you know, some of the stuff I've been
hearing over the last couple of weeks, I think the
issues in the locker room were a lot deeper than
anybody even imagined. Like, so I think lifting that out
of there has just created a whole lot of healing.
And you know, I do think to your point, Yeah,
it isn't a fluke. They're playing better, and I think
that you know, they're they're being coach better, and they're
more bought in than they were.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and and they're healthy.
Speaker 3: And now that they're healthy, offensively, I mean getting mcorback
and he takes some hell back again. I love your
breakdown of Alvin Kamara's process. So just saw the video.
I haven't watched some video yet, I just read about it,
but like it shows you how he still appears so young,
so quick, and so fast at a time when most
other people's careers in that position start to falter. Where's
Clint Kubiak head in all this? You know, kind of
a quiet man. We don't hear from him a lot.
I'm sure there's part of him that's frustrated because he
feels like, man, I get my shot, the head coach
gets fired. But at the same time, I feel like, like,
especially if you look at the injury context with the offense,
like Kubiak has acquitted himself very well this year as
an NFL offense coordinator.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's too sure him these next six games, so
uh six right? Yeah, Like, yeah, I think he's making
a case.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I agree.
Speaker 4: I think I think when people evaluate him, it's going
to be done within the context. So like, Okay, their
team was completely injured for this stretch of time and
before and after and even some of the during, Like
it wasn't it wasn't bad.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I think that that he's kind of I don't.
Speaker 4: Know if he's fighting for his life, because I feel
like he's gonna get another job, Like I would be
surprised if he doesn't stick here, if he's not at
OC somewhere next year. I think he's gonna get another
shot at it. Yeah, for his sake, I hope he
picks a more stable position, maybe he takes a step
back and waits for it, because I don't think you
get a fourth shot at it.
Speaker 2: I don't think the door just keeps opening.
Speaker 4: So the next one I think to be the place
where he really makes his case. So I think that
will come for him if it's not just continuing on here.
But I think he's done a really good job, and
these last two weeks really kind of kind of showed
it again. And they're down still a lot of players.
They don't really have a NFL caliber class of wide receivers,
like their death chart just doesn't really stack up, and
they're still moving the ball and they look good. So yeah,
I mean, I think he's kind of kind of fighting
for his life a little bit, but not necessarily. But
I feel like the whole staff is like in a sense,
like when we talk about tanking and all that stuff.
Like these guys are all fighting to kind of like
keep their jobs and make a case and keep it going.
And a lot of them will end up being fine,
Like Joe Widdle will probably end up getting another job.
Michael Hodges is a great young coach. He's gonna get
another job. But like there's lower level people that if
this doesn't work out, like maybe they don't get that
same shake. So it's a lot of that in the
building too. You kind of feel that that urgency a
little bit, while also like people feel about happier at
the same time. It's just a good energy right now,
but there's a little bit of desperation to it, and
I think that exists with with Clinton. I think he
understands that, like there can't be a falloff here for
him if he wants to continue trying to a b
and OC and be if he wants to be a
head coach, at some point like a has to happen.
So I think it's very important for him over these
next six.
Speaker 3: Nick Hunnerhill, New Orleans Doff Football is the site. It's

as you get older, it's like, dude, don't people ask
me what I want for Christmas? I'm like, but I
hate to do this to you for the thirty second
year in a row. You know, It's it's just it's hard.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: Wait, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on hold that
you're saying people ask you what you want for Christmas?
Speaker 2: And what what's the problem?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I told my grandpa Prena. You know, it's like
when Dot we just end this? When don't we just stop?
You know, get the stuff with the kids.
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, to be fair, right, I mean, I'm
like in the same boat to where I'm like, honestly,
that stupid touch screen on my dryer has been broken.
Speaker 6: Forever.
Speaker 3: So like, if you want to get impressed, that would
be awesome. It'd be a new dryer. I mean, if
you want to help out with the budget a little
bit right now, that'd be that'd be that'd be the
best of Yeah. No, I feel you, bro. I I
I love Christmas though, and.
Speaker 2: I can't forget too.
Speaker 7: I love like the idea of like decorating the hiouse
and stuff, the tree, the smeunt the tree, the whole
Santa Claus thing, the spread court.
Speaker 3: Does spread quarters get a uh the spread quarters get
a real tree?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Oh absolutely, Yeah. And look that's no big deal,
but it's the it's the little decorations. You gotta buy
a movie tome movie is you know what I'm saying.
You can't just go all in one year or you're
gonna spend thousands of dollars. Man, they want a lot
of money for like, you know, snow globes and whatever.
Speaker 2: What kind of ornaments are we using? Though?
Speaker 7: Dev on a tree right now, I got stand on
an alligator, I got the roaming candy stand. I got
stand on a dinosaur. I'm looking at him right now.
I got I got a little marshmallow that's got his hands.
He says, let's get toasted. You know, a bunch of snowmen.
Because my last name, so you know I'm going with
that niece, so you know it's it's Finn the uh.
Speaker 3: So we had a tradition where probably the first thing
you got the open each Christmas season, the night we
decorated tree, every kid would get a new ornament.
Speaker 2: And I always love sports, right, so like.
Speaker 3: I got John Elway on the run. I got Brett
farm about to launch a deep ball. That one has
an age great.
Speaker 2: I got Shack breaking a rim.
Speaker 3: I got Michael Vick, I got Julius Serva, I got
I just have a I got King Griford Junior fresh
off a home run swing up on that thing, Barry Bonds.
I have just a plethora of athletes hanging for my tree,
Larry Bird, Adac Johnson, because that.
Speaker 7: Whole era when the Saints just were horrible and you
had to you had to go after on that, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah.
My dad used to put Dallas Cowboy because he was
for like five years he was like a Dallas like
when they had EMMITTT. Smith and IRV. He was like
a huge Cowboys fan for like five years. So he
used to decorate the tree with cowboys things. I'll never
forget that. I never let him live that down.
Speaker 3: And then and then and then he and then he
came back. He came back like the prodigal father.
Speaker 2: He came back.
Speaker 7: He came back. But he was negative, you know, one
of one of those where, oh they gonna they're gonna
get they're gonna get to ask kick, you know, like
just never really got positive again, even when it's like
the Breeze era, you know.
Speaker 3: Uh, speaking of negative verse positive? Uh, how do you
feel about this Rams game? On saying, now, we had
a week to calm down. We just talked to Underhill
about it, Like, dude, I want I want them. I
want them to lock in and I want him to smoke.
Speaker 7: The Rams and say, yeah no, I mean, of course
we owe them something forever forever. Reason we just can't
beat them, really, But you know, the one thing I
think is they give us a problem. Obviously is Nakua
in car That's gonna be an issue, man. But I
think it'll be a close game, and I'm hoping that
the Saints can pull it out, man, because that would
really make everybody feel a lot better.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's funny because, as we all know from
the Internet Pooh and a Cup, we're one of the
kind of premiere Internet tag teams for a long time,
so it's crazy to see that translate to the football field.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, I never heard I must have what internet
was that on?
Speaker 3: I never heard that that two thousand and five internets?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think eel suit, blue Wall.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all the old classics, all the old classics.
Speaker 7: There used to be able to get on that and
they'd give you like one hundred different print call.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I used to love doing soundboard. Uh yeah, sound
where prank calls are always.
Speaker 7: Very fun and nobody's really doing that when nobody's got
the balls the prank call anymore.
Speaker 2: Remember they had nobody answers their phone anymore. Either, that's true,
That is true.
Speaker 3: That was one of my favorite bitch growing up on
morning radio shows, even though now as an adult and like,
was it ever real or was it always just like
kind of acted?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 6: What was the roses game they used to play on radio,
where like they like call it hey, like you've got
a chance to give someone free flowers a dozen roses
and it would you know, they call the guy and
his girlfriend or wife would be on the line and
they were like trying to test him to.
Speaker 3: See, oh he he was going to give them to that.
That's like that game is like ruined relationship.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's like it's just the work friends. She's
done a great job. I just want to send that.
Speaker 7: Was the error of one in relationships too. I mean,
think about all the shows I mean you had, yeah,
all the TV shows, raders, you know, never.
Speaker 3: Forget I'm sure a lot of cheaters was a bit
and dramatized, but never forget that that dude actually did
get stabbed.
Speaker 2: That one time.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Like like so as far as reality shows go, when
you get stabbed on television for confronting a cheater caught
in the act, like, that's pretty real. It's got to
be at the top of the real reality crazy.
Speaker 2: Do you remember Fifth Wheel?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, some great late night fifth Wheel action.
Speaker 7: I remember them all man blond date, a limit date,
you know, I mean.
Speaker 2: Next was the best though.
Speaker 6: I mean somebody somebody busted would come on the bus
and just next, Oh god.
Speaker 3: No bigger sad moment than having a turn back around
and just go right back.
Speaker 6: And then try to talk noise about the first I
didn't want to be here anyway.
Speaker 2: You only got one.
Speaker 7: Dollar, son, you just forget you don't forgit that. I
don't care how many go by. Man, if you walked
on the bus, couldn't even say a word, and somebody
coach you get off.
Speaker 3: It's the classic Tony Purgose. Get on the scale, get
off the scale, and get the hell out of here.
What uh now? Speaking of fake ones, room Raiders I
used to enjoy, but like looking back, Wow, just nothing
real about room raiders whatsoever. Because you can't just show
up and kidnap somebody, but like it would be crazy
if you could.
Speaker 7: I think room Raiders really put the black light on
the on the map. You know what I'm saying. Nobody
even knew that we could. Yeah, use that, you know
up you know people coming over.
Speaker 6: Let me let me check you bet, Bob just got
real nervous.
Speaker 3: Don't just keep all black lights away from me at
all times.
Speaker 2: I don't need one in my life.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: We played that game in college looking at all of
our w c A dorms, and some of the discoveries were.
Speaker 2: Well, there were something I think I.
Speaker 7: Think Ryan in that same pimp my ride man. I
found that some fortunate news about pimp my Rod dude
completely like not real. A lot of his dudes caused
like that they pimped out had problems like right away,
like fish tanks operating in the back and stuff.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, I mean maker in the back.
Speaker 3: I mean, like you tell me it's fake, that true,
but then you tell me the cars big down. That's
more disappointing. But that does make all the sense in
the world.
Speaker 7: Yeah, suppos like the exhibit was like not cool with
how they were doing. You know, like he felt bad
because he was like the main dude and like all
these dude's calls were breaking down stuff. I mean, you
got a George Foreman in the back and it too much.
Speaker 6: Yeah, hey, you never know when you're gonna need a
piece of grilled chicken on the floor.
Speaker 2: Memory, Yeah, I mean I remember seeing I think one
just had like a hot tub.
Speaker 6: Was that Luke Sanders that got the grilled chicken machine
put in the back?
Speaker 2: Mostly most like man, uh, George Corner girl.
Speaker 7: Had the country in a choke hold for a.
Speaker 2: Good he did dev Wait did we talk about I
can't remember you talking about.
Speaker 3: Okay, give me some other spread lines. What else have
been tickling your fancy this week?
Speaker 8: Now?
Speaker 7: I wanted to ask, I know, one, so, what was
the reason that Bill Belichick was in that valley just
to like support Kevin Falk? Like, what was the reason?
Was he like meeting with the Saints?
Speaker 3: He supposed to be at an earlier game, right, but
then something came up? I get what's the story, Taylor?
Do you know the story? Hop on the mic?
Speaker 9: I believe he was supposed to be here for the
Bama game and then for whatever reason, he had to cancel.
And then I don't know why he picked Vanderbilt to
come out.
Speaker 2: Don't know.
Speaker 6: Maybe you got he got a chance to see Kay
Falk if he works with Ryan clark On inside the NFL, him.
Speaker 3: And Brian Kelly feel like they probably have a lot
of connective tissue as well, right, both in that area.
I mean, Brian's from that area of the country. You know,
they both been in coaching for decades now at this point,
like maybe there was something there.
Speaker 2: I thought it was really cool though.
Speaker 7: I thought I thought I thought it was I mean,
especially the Kevin Folk picture, Like, I mean, there's.
Speaker 2: So much that like Kevin Falk pictures.
Speaker 7: I mean, dude, I mean, you know, he was a
Patriot leg I mean, I feel like, dude, like at
least ten years you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: He was like he was so key to those teams.
Oh yeah, yeah, the first Super Bowl teams.
Speaker 6: Jim Nagy, who you know, obviously worked for the Senior
Ball He was a scout in New England there. He's
like a lot of people in that building would always
talk about like Kevin was kind of one of the
pieces that unlocked the run because he was kind of
like like the og third down back.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, yeah, yeah, true, true.
Speaker 7: Who else is I'm trying to think who else were
they running with him?
Speaker 2: Now a little bit?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it always pops into my head, old bingle. Where
did Cordell and go to college?
Speaker 7: He went Toton Maybe really Dylan went to Damn Now
I got.
Speaker 3: It now, which, by the way, I'm looking at this
picture of Fees I went to Washington.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at this Oh wow, I'd never guess that.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at this picture of Kafeezy and Bill Belichick
talking to each other, and my god, Kevin's jackets incredible. Yeah,
the gold jacket with the Louisiana State like or like
the the Louisiana shape, like the borders with the crown
on it.
Speaker 2: That thing is awesome.
Speaker 6: I think that's Eddie Kennison's podcast logo. Oh really not mistaken.
Speaker 3: Okay, legends, a couple of legends cutting it up.
Speaker 7: What we're saying, don't sleep Eddie Kennison.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look we got Eddie. I'm trying to
think about the connective tiss between l Shoot and Saints.
You got Eddie, got Devery Tyron tired now balmorro Foster Morrow,
now look at us, God, look at that jacket.
Speaker 7: Jake Hey, speaking of Jackets, just s Stephen last night. Yeah, Steve, Yeah,
it was it was.
Speaker 2: Stephen the Jackets out. The problem the backwards hat.
Speaker 6: Is it was a little I think in Steven's head
he thinks he played in the NFL or NBA.
Speaker 3: Well, I'll say this for Steven A what Steven as definitely,
and he's talked about this. I think Stephen A's in
better physical shape now at what is he like fifty something,
I don't know, He's in better physical shape now than
he's ever been in his entire life. And it definitely
has him feeling himself because I watched when I was
in Disney getting a bar at the g or getting
a drink at the Gurgling Suitcase. The guy had on
a steven A segment. It was the stephen A's Biggest
Fears list, his five biggest slip fears, and number one
was losing his sexy And he just yelled at me
about five minutes for how with great shape he's in
now and how hot he is. So stephen A's definitely
feeling very confident and good. Would you know, go flaunt
your stuff stephen A.
Speaker 7: Sure, yeah, I mean I'm I'm a dude, But I
just never really thought of like stephen I never thought
of stephen A like in the Stylish Swag is like
I always just knew him as the dude in the
shoot on ESPN. So I mean, yeah, no, yeah, I
guess so. And Jason Kel's just sitting there with a
brown jacket with black pants.
Speaker 3: Uh, Jason Kelsey, did you see the video of the
person yelling at him outside of the Tonight show?
Speaker 7: Yeah? That was crazy. It's like everything that's wrong with
the world in one video.
Speaker 2: So bad, so bad.
Speaker 3: Jason Hellmett handled himself well though.
Speaker 7: Well it's crazy, like that's what I think when I
think about California. I literally think of like that. Yeah,
you know, it's just what I would think that.
Speaker 2: It's like my favorite.
Speaker 3: It did feature one of my favorite things I've ever heard, though,
in the midst of this guy. There's this guy who
obviously has mental health problems, and Kelsey walked by him.
That'sign autographed. He starts to lose it on him and
at one point he yells.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna be the head of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Gonna be sorry. I'm like, I don't think you are
good on you. You know, it gets you gotta strive for.
Speaker 2: Something I didn't even know we had.
Speaker 7: I didn't even know he had mental health. I just
figured he was crazy.

daily dose of NFL news from Taylor Sharp.
Speaker 9: Well, guys, a former Pro Bowl pass rusher is now
available because two time Pro Bowler Shaq Barrett says he
wants to be reinstated. He has applied to be reinstated immediately.
If you guys remember he retired from the NFL back
in July. He said that he wanted to focus on
his family, helping his wife and his kids. I mean,
this is a guy that had nineteen and a half
sacks for the Buccaneers back in twenty nineteen. He hit
another ten sacks back in twenty twenty one. Look thirty
three solo tackles with the Bucks, fifty two total tackles
in twenty twenty three, just four and a half sacks
at his last year. He was coming off of an injury.
But a guy that's been a really productive player. He
was part of that really good Tampa Bay defense that
won the Super Bowl with Tom Brady. The Dolphins currently
own his rights because he signed a one year deal
with him in March before his retirement. But there's a
chance that the Dolphins could move on from him if
he has reinstated. So Shaquille Barrett available for any possible
playoff team. A former Pro bowlass rusher, only thirty two
years old.
Speaker 2: Do you all want to know a confession? Jake? Tell
me sure?
Speaker 3: I always think of check. There has to do.

Speaker 9: And the one with one arm was Shakim, right, yesqu
Shaquille's his brother.
Speaker 2: There's two brothers.
Speaker 9: The brother's a pass rusher. No, Shaquille Griffin was a corner.
Shaquim Griffin with one hand was a linebacker.

how he's never heard of alcohol at holidays or anything.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I guess, like I don't know, you know, maybe just
a religious household.

how I grew up.

whole game. Oh, let's go, that's fun.
Speaker 11: My grandpa was feeding me white claws the entire time,
and now I can't drink white claws anymore.
Speaker 3: Asked the bench, Why did Jacobs sharpie Taylor.
Speaker 10: I think he was about to throw.
Speaker 2: I wanted to let the song breed a little bit.

Like I literally purposefully take my time coming back and.
