Speaker 1: Off the bench. We to Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: I say, Hester and Hester got it fine, little fa.
Speaker 1: From carrying each other to and Natty to carrying each
other on the air control for the live from the
Raising Kine studio. It's off the bench, all.
Speaker 3: Right, welcome back here off the bench, hour number three,
getting started right here for you.
Speaker 4: Little uh single bowl. Last week we were there and.
Speaker 3: Our next guest joining up every single week, mister Nick
on her Hill was also there kind enough to join
us on this Tuesday morning.
Speaker 4: Nick, what's up my brother?
Speaker 5: And it was going on. Man, good to see you,
Jake looking good, glad to be here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jake's looking up way better today than he usually
does for sure. Hey, I like this background. What you
got going on here?
Speaker 5: I guess I got some helmets back there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 3: See yeah, see what we get when we get to
get you on video and don't have like the head shot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they've been doing me dirty with that headshot
for like five years. Like a tie and a damn
spark Like I don't even think I currently own a
spark coat or a high so like.
Speaker 5: We gotta we got to talk about that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, are those are these are those miniature helmets? Are
those regular size?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Many alms like many almens? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah
love it.
Speaker 3: What's up man? How was so at the Senior Bowl?
We talked to you last week? I think you were
still traveling in. Give us a little just a recap
on how how everything went.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was cold, so starting there.
Speaker 4: Did you go to all the call all the practices?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I was out there at all of them.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, it was kind of a bad Senior Ball.
I think like a lot of guys dropped out. It
was not well attended, I don't think, like from from
every aspect of it. I don't know if that's because
of weather. I don't know if that's because of Jim
Nagy leaving. I don't know what the factors were tied
into that. But kind of interesting just seeing how it
goes and how it evolves. I know what that game
means for the Tonomobile. But I also was sitting there
wondering why, like a showcase for the NFL Draft is
not in a dome.
Speaker 5: That seems like a weird thing.
Speaker 2: Too, Like you probably just want to see these guys
perform at their best in a controlled setting. I don't
think it affected it, but I mean there's spend years
with rain or whatever, but you know, knowing what it means,
they're like, it's it's a fine compromise with That was
a thought too. But yeah, like a lot of little,
little good pieces of information coming out of there, fee
feel better informed. I guess I'll just like run down
a couple of them and we can go from there,
you know, as far as it goes. But with Saints
current players and with the future holds, I would say
ninety nine percent chance Crystal Lave signs an extension. I
would say the Mario Davis, depending on what the market
looks like is. I would say there's probably a threshold
where if the team goes over it, he's gone, and
if it's under there, they'll bring him back. I don't
think they go eleven and a half twelve thirteen million dollars.
If you're getting to like Patrick Queen money, I think
it's a very unlikely scenario where he comes back. A
Latte Taylor, I would I would place the bat on
gone and uh I think Camp comes back. I think
if you know he wants to keep playing, they'll eventually
reach a deal on that. But I think that's where
the winds blown on those things. It's uh, what February third,
Phil saw? Did till see a shadow?
Speaker 5: Yesterday?
Speaker 2: I don't know what Phil did yesterday, but yesterday was
Groundhog Day.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, uh, he did shadow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Pennsylvania legend. Man, Like, it's the weirdest place
in the world. If you ever go to Punk Satani,
very very strange, very strange.
Speaker 5: What was that saying?
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, but that's just where the winds blown right now.
Speaker 5: I mean, like things can always change over time.
Speaker 2: It's a little bit early, and you know, we're trying
to predict a market with human emotion.
Speaker 5: That onfolds in March, but I mean, is it is
it stands today. I think that's kind of where everything's at.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So when you go to a senior ball I'm
sure you're trying to you're trying to evaluate players that
you think could be on the draft line. Of course,
no one's going to get into Mickey Lewis's head on
exactly what he's thinking. Oh, look, he's on a streak
right now. He had a good draft class. Can he
put two together? They call that a win streak. Right,
So if you were to get into his head and
start like like, what how did you take in the
senior ball? So I was watching big receivers, That's what
I was watching. So I was watching I was watching
malac i Feels from ure Dame Jacobe Lane. I was
watching the Caleb Douglas kid from Texas tey Like. I
was watching these bigger guys to be that counterbalance to
having to go and pay a big amount for a
you know, smaller, good route running, explosive type receiver, because
I think to counterpartch that you need a bigger, a bigger,
more physically dominate guys.
Speaker 4: So but how do you take that? Do you do?
You do you kind of take that?
Speaker 3: Like the needs are that I'm gonna say, all right,
these are the top five at these needs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean well, I mean, man, Malachot feels look amazing.
You know, my my other favorite guy from there too.
And if like the Mario leaves the pit linebacker, I thought,
I thought I had a really really good week. There
were a couple offensive linemen that I thought looked pretty good.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: Look, one of the things that I think is we
try to get into Mickey Loomis's head, and you know,
that's kind of kind of what I what I try
to do with these things. My thought leaving the Senior
Bull is that I think they are open for business
on a non traditional position at eight as far as
positional value goes, like meaning that I would not be
surprised by a safety or running back or a tight end,
and I don't think it's a worthy tight end this year.
Speaker 5: But I think I think, you.
Speaker 2: Know, as you try to put names of that, like
I think Down's and Love are the two guys that
I'm I'm most closely looking at right now today, I
think they're wide open for that. And I think part
of the top process for that is that you aren't
paying the quarterback, so you don't have to try to
get the twenty five million dollar player in the draft
to save money so that you can build your team
the way you would if you're paying your quarterback fifty
five million dollars a year, like you kind of have
to take a risk because hey, look, we can't pay
thirty million dollars for a tackle, so we'll take the
third or fourth best offensive tackle. Whereas I think when
you aren't paying the quarterback, everybody talks about best best
player available. Nobody ever drafts best player available. It's always
best player available at a position in need. And I
think not paying the quarterback opens them up for the
ability to say, hey, look, if Caleb Downs is the
absolute best player on the board, we can just take
Caleb Downs because we can go out and sign a
pass rusher because we aren't paying the quarterback. And there's
you know, technically kind of a five year window here
before the if Tyler Shuck is the real deal, nine
games we'll see if he is a real deal that
there is a five year window here before you have
to start actually paying him real money against your salary cap.
So I mean, if you're building a team that way,
I think you can.
Speaker 5: You can do it.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean I think it's I think it's
BPA and then you know, if everything's stocked the same. Yeah,
I'm with you on the receivers. I think I think
we settle at the same place. I think there's a
lot of mkayle lemon love within the organization, But I mean,
the bigger guy, there's just something about it. Man Like
Jordan Tyson is just the easier watch the mkayle Lemon
like Malachai Fields. You know, you see him and it
looks like he's gonna make some plays. Chris bella bigger guy.
I was really disappointed Sharratt wasn't out there. I wanted
to see him. He ended up pulling out of the game.
That was the guy I was really excited to see.
You know, that type of player. Yeah, I mean that
that's where I settled too.
Speaker 5: And I'm with you.
Speaker 2: I think I go there over everything else. And I
think Caleb Downs might be the best player.
Speaker 5: On the team. But like maybe I'm a simple or
best player in the draft.
Speaker 2: But you know, I think I think I think I
might just be a simple thing because like I just
want to do deck to score touchdowns, hit that pick,
like that's just what I want them to do there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, good anchor safety like you talk about like like
that isn't awful to me. Now, I think where you're
picking right now to take a running back is a
is not Like, of course he's going to be a
good player, I have no doubt about that. But I
think that's that would be a big l for the
Saints to do that, just because of all the areas
of need and we talked about last week with you, like,
I think you have to surround Tyler Shuck with weapons
right now, you do have this young quarterback, it's great.
It would be great to get a anchor safety on
your defense and have that guy that can roam around
and make plays in the box and things like that.
But I think you just you build around. You found
that you found the first domino fl which is finding
your quarterback or who they believe, and you got to
act like so you got to make sure that it
continues to hit more so, but like on the defensive
side of the ball, where is the one are the
biggest needs that you can potentially see them filling. Let's
just say in like the top three or four rounds,
Maybe not that first overall pick, but the top three
or four rounds is biggest biggest defensive needs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And just like to your point, like the safety,
if you drafting Kyle Hamilton at eight, Like I'm totally
cool with that, Like that's a could, that's an identity
for your team. If you gave Brandon Saley that the
safety package, like he's an admirer of Jonathan Gannon's work,
the three safety stuff they were doing in Arizona opens up,
like you can get real weird with your defense if
you have that type of player, and I think you
would cover a lot of the Alante's toff as well.
So yeah, the top needs top three or four rounds.
I think Alante is probably leving, So I think.
Speaker 5: Cornerback's pretty high on that list.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know if I go there in
round one, but you know, I think I'm open for
business anywhere after there if that's the best guy available.
More edge obviously, I think it is a spot where
they need to go. You know, it's tougher a little
bit later on, but I would definitely address that DT's
I think is in need. If to Mario leaves, you
could draft a linebacker, you could do it like everything
like and it goes to the point you're making like
there are just so many needs on this team. Yeah,
I mean you can go, you can go anywhere with
its still and they finished strong, but I still think
it's a a roster that that's lacking a lot of
anchor points. And if you do go running back in
the first round, like the margin for air there is
incredibly small, and first round running backs usually do hit
because people are really selective about him right now. But
if it's not Jon Robinson, like, you probably made a mistake.
So if you're taking him, you just got to make
sure he's he's he's Bijon and if he's not, like,
go somewhere else and that I'm okay with taking bij
On at eight if you're getting him, But if it's uh, look,
I don't even think Genty had a bad year, and
we probably we probably shouldn't judge anything off of with
the Raiders too, and especially not a Raiders team that
had fired their staff. But if you take if you
take Genty, you know it or Love is Genty and
it's a comparable player and that's what he is for
the next four or five years.
Speaker 5: That's a huge mess.
Speaker 2: So I mean, you just got to really really be sure.
If you're just fligging that back, you know, there's no
threat to getting fired here. But those are the type
of moves that get people fired out of their jobs.
When you make the unconventional pick and you miss, that's
how you lose your job. So you got to make
sure if you're going to Jeremiah Love, that's that's you know,
you're you're not uncertain.
Speaker 4: Well, most people lose their job, not everybody, most people
lose their job if they miss multiple times.
Speaker 3: Yeah, any any like news or whispers about lobby deal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think I think it's a i'd
say near certainty that it gets done.
Speaker 5: You know, it's a matter of time.
Speaker 2: But I think I think the top process on all
sides is that it gets done. I was told the
blood clot is cleared, he's gonna be on blood diners
probably for like a month, but like that's apparently not
a problem at this point, Like they feel good about
where it's at, and and he can uh, you know,
start doing some physical activity and everything, so those can
be So that's really good news.
Speaker 5: That that it's that is going that direction.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think I think it gets done, and
I think they probably end up paying them probably pretty well.
I Mean, I think the thought is that letting him
go like just wouldn't make sense. Like where they're at,
where they're trying to go. He's a foundational piece, and
they really don't have anywhere anyone else pay. I mean,
they have one hundred and twenty seven million dollars in
cap commitments next year, and the CoP's going to be well,
twenty seven one hundred and twenty seven million cop that
year is probably can be like three hundred and thirty million,
So you can pay Chris and like that's not a problem.
Speaker 5: So I think they get.
Speaker 2: It done, and I think he ends up being really
well paid, and you know, I think those sizes will
probably feel good about where they end up.
Speaker 3: Look, Nick, I miss a lot of headlines are hand
in the air. I'll be first to admit that I
don't see everything. But did I miss something about a
love's health and a blood clots? I did I miss that?
Speaker 5: Yeah? So he missed the last game of the season
due to a blood clot. He had a blood clot
go to his lungs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So yeah, I mean, like those can be
you know, if you don't.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of science fy on that, but like,
depending on how it happens, like it's gonna be a
massive problem.
Speaker 5: And you know, his is in the.
Speaker 2: Category of like solvable getting solved head in the right direction.
Speaker 5: So all good news there.
Speaker 3: Did you see the news this morning about following the
news from last week with Bill Belichick not getting that
the enough votes to be a first ballot now Robert
Kraft being held out, So what's your.
Speaker 4: Thoughts on this?
Speaker 3: You follow the NFL, I'm sure you got to some
sort of opinion on this. We just we talked at
link about how dumb it is and how ridiculous the
Hall of Fame is and how people should get their
votes stripped immediately. But is there I want to ask you, like,
this is clearly some sort of vendetta against the Patriots
in that timeframe, So do you think this is going
to harm or affect Tom Brady when his name comes up.
Speaker 2: It's so bad that they're leaking the results of the
Hall of Fame vote before they First they put out
the Belichick one because they didn't want to overshadow the
Super Bowl, and then they put out the Kraft one
because they don't want that to overshadow the actual Hall
of famers getting in. It's so bad that they're like,
let's let this burn out so that the celebration can
can happen on Thursday night.
Speaker 5: It's crazy to me, man, and I keep.
Speaker 2: Seeing people talk about, well, there's only so many guys,
and they change the voting process and you can only
get three to the five or whatever, like whatever it is.
And it's like, yeah, okay, but if you're not voting
for Bill Belichick and you're voting for somebody else because
you're like, well, this guy needs votes, and Bill's going
to get in because he's going to get the votes,
you're the problem.
Speaker 5: Like that's the user air.
Speaker 2: I don't think the process is great, but the bigger
problem within the processes that the people are idiots.
Speaker 5: And like, if you're not voting for.
Speaker 2: Bill to go off ballot to get somebody else in,
you're skirting the spirit of the Hall of Fame. Like
the people that aren't getting enough votes probably shouldn't get
in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5: Like that was the design of the thing.
Speaker 2: It's wild to be man, Like, you know, you gotta
wonder what it means for Sean Payton, Like, you know,
I think people in Massachusetts in the New England area
feel the same way about their scandals the way people
here feel about some of the stuff that happened with
the saying So if that's going to be the reason
for them, I wonder what it means for Sean, Like
it like it's a slope, And I think we all
know that these investigations, most of the time, like the
flight gate was a BS thing.
Speaker 5: We know Onnie Gate was largely a BS thing. Like,
so it's it's just weird to me.
Speaker 2: Like, you know, if you're close enough to these things
and you look at him, you kind of know what
the deal is in that Goodell often gets out of pocket.
I don't know, man, like the morality of it and
all that stuff, Like I think that's just a very
slippery slope. Like put the guy in the Football Hall
of Fame, like it's a museum for football, and I
don't know, like it just seems like people are vastly
overthinking things. And you know, Craft is more decorated than
any other owner. He got the Super Bowl three different
times with three different head coaching quarterback pairings, and you're
gonna keep him out of the Hall of Fame, Like
for what It's just it just doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think at some point people overthink things and
pettiness gets in the way and personal feelings get in
a way.
Speaker 4: When just like just he's common sense. Just it's just
it's not that hard.
Speaker 5: Still was mean to you, like all right, cool?
Speaker 4: Sorry every years?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like who cares?
Speaker 2: All I tried, I tried to talk to him at
the owner's meetings, and he grumbled at me. I was
in the elevator with Belichick once and I said hi,
and he put his hoot up and turned around. Didn't
He didn't even say high back. I'd vote for him
if I had to vote for the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5: Like, don't.
Speaker 4: I'm not voting for him.
Speaker 3: He didn't talk to me in the elevator in an
awkward conversation. Man, can you name one bad bunny song?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: I think I can't either. So you just wanted to
know how getting prep for this super Bowl this weekend?
So are you ready for halftime? Who do you think
is gonna win? What's your prediction?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean like to that point though, like Carson
Daley isn't on TV anymore at four o'clock every day
doing this.
Speaker 5: But I mean, like I used to know music.
Speaker 2: Outs how to like in every every genre, like the
ones I didn't listen to, Like I couldn't tell you
the name of like a Billie Eilish song either, And
I know she's like the biggest artists in the world, but.
Speaker 5: You know, back in the day, like I knew like hoop.
Speaker 2: Stank even though, like it was just like nas jay
Z your Kwan ghost face go on my headphone, so
you see he speaks soosal a lot more. I think
I think the Seahawks win this game. Like they just
seem like a jogger. Not to me, it just feels
like things are going the right correction. I'm done doubting
Sam Darnold. I think I think they win the game.
Speaker 3: Well, I think I think Vegas feels the same way.
I think the Seahawks minus four and a half point favor.
There he is Nick Underhill, New Orleans Dot Football, and
you heard it here as well. He wants Hoops Tank
to play next year's Super Bowl and Nick undertill I
appreciate the time, buddy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, take it easy man, allright, good.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 3: There you have it, all things New Orleans, all things NFL. Surprise,
surprise somebody else that didn't like the Bill Belichick and
Robert Craft situation. That's kind of funny. That's a weird situation.
Being an elevator with somebody. You talk to him, not
the day, buddy, not to day, and I'll talk to you.
We appreciate Nick every single week for a time again,
New Orleans Dot Football all right, we'll come back continue

of thinking. Not during the day, we don't know what happens.

I've had to move over there. Something strange, as I for.
This place is haunted. Yeah, the building is literally haunted.
Too many stories. Didn't you order? You said you saw
a ghost here.
Speaker 8: One time I was here and the elevator opened and
nobody was in the elevator.
Speaker 6: Okay, I didn't push the button.
Speaker 8: Okay, so I didn't see one, but I felt it's something.
Speaker 10: The elevator working might be the scariest part of that.
Speaker 6: It wasn't, though, because it opened by itself. That doesn't
feel like it's working. That feels haunted.
Speaker 4: Say what always works is kid is the interiors and

time with you guys right here. So we are filling out.
We are nine questions in. We got a little ketchup
where we got twenty three questions ago. All right, our
tenth question on our prop bet total sacks by both
teams combined over under four and a half sacks on
the Super Bowl?
Speaker 4: How much four and a half?
Speaker 10: Both teams have pretty good offensive lines. I'll go under.
Speaker 3: Okay, under, Wait, what was the question over under total
sacks in the game combined four and a half. Okay, under, Okay,
I'm gonna go over. The defense is pretty good. Then
they're gonna play like their hair is on fire early on.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 3: Next one total interceptions thrown Darnold and May combined over
under one and a half interceptions over.
Speaker 6: Yeah, over one and a half is small.
Speaker 3: Two Okay, I'll now, I want to see good quarterback play.
I'm wanna go under. I'm gonna say there's one interception
in the game. I know I want to see good
quarterback play.
Speaker 4: Know you like that? All right?
Speaker 3: Will there be some sort of okay, this says specifically
a Philly special or a trick play happening. A trick played,
be some sort of flea fickler, a running back pass,
a receiver pass, a trick play in the game. Yes,
I'll go no, I'm gonna say m I'm gonna say yes.
I think you'd have to come from the Patriots. Kubik
has probably been a little busy leading up to the
Super Bowl, might not have time to install a trick place.
And I go, yes, it would come from the Patriots.

gotta be yes, right, Okay, it's gotta be yes. Will
Bad Bunny wear sunglasses for the entire first song?
Speaker 4: Yes? Or no? I mean.
Speaker 6: He'll wear sunglasses. Yes, I'm gonna say yes.
Speaker 10: I mean sure, Okay, but I don't know, like does
he typically come out with sunglasses?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 8: He always wears sunglasses, not like always, but he's a
sunglasses where.
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, I like he's gonna like dramatically remove them
like Horatio and.
Speaker 10: After the first.
Speaker 3: One though, Yeah, it feels like a second song live,
so you'll have to say yeah. Some have to say yeah,
that feels like a dramatic removal of the sunglasses. Does
feel like a second song. Okay, So I'll go over
all right, there you go. That gets us all the
way through our halftime portions. So we are sixteen questions
in Okay, we're going to continue this.
Speaker 6: We have seven questions more. You said that adds up?
Speaker 4: Yep? That adds up?
Speaker 6: Okay, yep. I can't remember how.
Speaker 10: So TV geography no math.
Speaker 6: Kill it kind of sometimes if it's an easy number.
Speaker 3: How are you all going to take in the game
this weekend? Do y'all do? Super Bowl parties.
Speaker 6: Do y'all set my house?
Speaker 4: Huh?
Speaker 6: Probably just at my house, maybe door dash something.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 10: I've always like I wanted to throw with super Bowl party.
Never have, probably probably taking into the house. Last year
I actually went somewhere my dad. We just went to
walk Ons and and done them. But this year, no prebby. Looky,
I don't have a ton invested into this one.
Speaker 3: I feel like watching the Super Bowl is tough at
a public place because you do like to lock.
Speaker 4: In for the commercials.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I feel like a lot of times the sports,
well they'll turn on, they'll turn it like off for
the commercials, like the sound off off the TV. Of
course with the sound off, I like to hear commentary.
So yeah, we usually do throw some sort of like
you know, a gathering, like I said, like a full
blown party, but you know, people congregate, bring some dips.
We do get the square board going. I love a dip.
Can't go wrong with a dip. Maybe some sort of
entree in the crockpot. That's kind of a go to
what you're if you're making a dip? What are you making? Hey, Alandra,
come to the party, Bring a dip?
Speaker 6: I think I would try to do like a like
a spinach artichoke.
Speaker 4: Have you ever done that before?
Speaker 6: I've never done it, but I would try it for
a dip for.
Speaker 4: The first time. To bring to a party is a
pretty bold move.
Speaker 8: Pretty good at pretty much anything that I do. Not
a big deal, So I'm pretty sure that I could do.
I do a good buffalo dip, but I thought that
just feels so basic, Like I feel like everybody goes
for the buffalo dip, like the chicken, like a buffalo
chicken dip.
Speaker 4: But it's good.
Speaker 10: I mean, it's oh yeah, I like a would I
make it? Not pay couldn't, but like a seven layered
dip p super Bowl.
Speaker 4: Like with the refried beans and everything.
Speaker 10: Refread beans, the guak you get the cheese.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't do a bean, hate a bean, all beans.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, we we talked about this week. First you
joined the chew.
Speaker 3: I can't even have like cross contamination on my plate
with a bean. It's a weird thing.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: My wife makes this like cream cheese and breakfast sausage
dip and it's fantastic. It's even good like after it
gets cold too. Hoping that makes an appearance this weekend anyway,
I hope whatever you're deciding to do, however you're supposed to,
however you're choosing to watch the game, that you have
a good time, you have a safe time, and enjoy yourself,
cheer it on, watched the commercials. I don't care if
you have a dog in the fight or not, just
like Tom Brady doesn't have a dog in the fight.
Speaker 4: I hope you all have a good time, have a
fun Super.
Speaker 6: Bowl party definitely does.
Speaker 3: Before we go to break here, I want to tell
you about a partners at Gulf Coast Office Products at

Coastoffice Price, gcop net dot Com. All right, we'll be
right back, continue talking all think sports, all things life,
all things who knows right here, Off the bench, Off.
Speaker 1: The bench, locked in on LSU football twenty four to seven.
You're listening to off the Bench.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back here, Off the Bench. Got a
couple segments left in the Tuesday show. Listening to eighties music,
been rocking. Nice work today, Alandra on them. Well, we
have a familiar face ready to join the show. We
don't get to look at the cute Miss Kane sitting
in Jake's chair. We get to actually talk to Jake
live on FaceTime, I believe from San Francisco.
Speaker 9: What's U, buddy, what's going on?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 9: I didn't want you ridiculing me if I just called in.
Speaker 7: So I know you're big on FaceTime guests, so I
figured I would FaceTime in.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's face time. Taylor was like, I don't know,
you just got a production beat, and I was like,
so he's face tiving in, right, Yeah, for sure. I
don't want to get ridiculed, y'all. I had a production
meet at like what seven in the morning. What are
y'all doing over there?
Speaker 9: Yeah? Right at seven? Well, I mean the show's at ten.
Speaker 7: But once they get started, I guess they don't want
to try to play catch up because I think Mad
Dog starts at like eight, NFL starts at eight, and
we start at ten, so some of the same guys,
I guess engineers are working on the same show, so
they got to kind of get everything out of the
way at seven.
Speaker 9: And so I don't know.
Speaker 7: I got over there yesterday like super early, just because
three hours solo is you know, you know, you want
to make sure that you got everything ready to go.
So I'll probably had over there right when I got
this too, even though the showed up to start till tim.
Speaker 3: There you go, all right, so tell us just give
us an overview of the setup for media row, how
y'all show is like the kind of compare it to
what you saw from last year, just like, what's your
setup for the week. Have the big name guests started arriving.
You've seen some cool people.
Speaker 7: So much smaller this year than it was a year ago,
not even close. Actually, the last two years, so Vegas
and New Orleans had a huge obviously convention center with
every station you can imagine, and everybody had huge, massive sets.
Now there's still some of that, but like, for instance,
we had five stages I think last.
Speaker 9: Year on Sirius.
Speaker 7: This year we have three because everything is smaller and
this is a union town too, so it's gonna cost
you a lot more money to get everything set up,
and so everybody kind of cut back a little bit,
so it's not what it was a year ago. I
thought New Orleans did a fantastic job. Not everything's been
been nice, but everything's so spread out when you have
a city like this, like we're.
Speaker 9: In San Francisco, games in Santa Clara.
Speaker 7: I think opening night for the Patriots and Seahawks was
in San Jose, so everything's kind of a little bit different.
And it was actually pretty good though, buzz Monday, But
I don't know if it was because the room was
so much smaller that it felt like.
Speaker 9: Yeah, So I don't know.
Speaker 7: We'll see today we'll start to get some of the
heavy hitter guests in.
Speaker 9: Uh, you know, compared to yesterday.
Speaker 7: Yesterday was it was your boy talking and answering a
lot of his own questions for about three hours.
Speaker 4: Well, Jake, what's your take on the Super Bowl? Well, Jake,
let me tell you.
Speaker 9: That's what it felt like exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of my nightmare. I'm having to just
like talk by myself for an extended period of time.
Thank god I have a Tatan in a laundri here
to hold down.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was selling a Landra on the way back
home from the Senior Bowl like that.
Speaker 9: That is one of the differences.
Speaker 7: I don't have a Tata in a Landra to Hey,
I need to take a deep breath, give me a
great take, for give me something obviously. So yeah, so
you definitely appreciate our great producers there, I'll tell you that.
Speaker 3: So the I'm sure it's been a little break from
the weather for you. How's it been out there? Have
you been able to kind of hit the streets of
San Franz a little bit. I know you're not like
a party animal by any means, but are we taking
in the city.
Speaker 4: Oh we lost Jake. Oh my gosh. Oh hey buddy,
you didn't pay for Wi Fi? Did you?
Speaker 9: I don't know, my wife. It's free. I should be on.
Speaker 4: It, so it's free. You got the bad one, then
you got the slow one. Upgrade that back.
Speaker 9: You know, we're balling on a budget after all all
these trips. My gosh, but.
Speaker 7: No, the weather's much better here than it wasn't mobile
Mobile was awful. It was freezing cold, great weather here.
I did walk around a little bit, not on purpose yesterday,
so I was gonna keep it low key. There was
like a mall that was supposed to be a couple
of blocks away, and I was like, oh great, I'll
just see I walk around.
Speaker 9: I'll go to the food court, I'll.
Speaker 7: Get my choice of food, and I'll just keep it
low key tonight. And I so I walk all the
way there and like huge signs on the door permanently
closed the whole mall, like the entire thing. And I
was like, oh, okay, cool, cool, And so like every
restaurant that I walked to. It was like either fancy
or it was packed, And so I did the most
fullback thing ever. I just came back and I door
dashed some Chipotle.
Speaker 3: You went to the mall to try to get you
a barrow pizza sliceadn't ye?
Speaker 9: That's right? Yes? No?
Speaker 7: Or maybe like some like greasy Chinese food is incredible
Chinese food now didn't happen. So maybe I'll step the
game up tonight. Maybe I'll actually put my legs under
a table. Probably not, but it sounds nice.
Speaker 3: You're gonna be fine, buddy. Well, good luck on your
eating today. I hope it works out for you. Sell
the news this morning it broke probably five am your time.
But the Robert Kraft not getting in the Hall of
Fame this year either, so another yeah, Robert Craft not
getting in, not getting the votes. So certainly I'm probably
sure I know what your opinion on that is. But
like to kind of correlate it to LSU and the
Saints fans like Drew Brees will probably or should be
a first ballot Hall of Famer this year, Like this
is a situation to me with the Belichick news, the
Robert Kraft News. It's really going to take away from
the celebration that should be for these people that do
get in. So I from it's like Drew Brees, He's
gonna get in there, Belichick or whoever like and he
should be a first ballot guy. But do you see this,
like the timing of all this information release, do you
see this kind of tarnishing that celebration because the talking
heads are going to be talking about who didn't make
it rather than who did.
Speaker 7: Make Yeah, it's a good point, and I do think
it will take away a little bit. Yesterday, Belichick not
get again was one of the main things that like
right to the right of it, like five ft away
NFL radio set up, and that was one of the
things that they were talking about. And they had Ted Johnson,
who was a former player for Belichick and the Patriots
during that Super Bowl run. And it was like the
fifteen minute conversation. It wasn't about the game here against Seattle.
It was like Belichick and they kind of just spiral.
Then it turned into the whole segment. He actually, oddly enough,
he's like I didn't really have a problem with it.
He's like, I think the Hall of Fames for players,
not coaches and owners, and so when they get in,
they get in. But it's four players, and he played
for Belichick. So I was like, Okay, that's interesting. I mean,
it's not the it's not the NFL Players Hall of Fame.
It's I see where he's going with that, and I
slightly agree. But when you're talking about two of the
greatest to do it, then it kind of does make
you think, like, is Tom Brady going to have unless
something changes, unless these voters get kicked off, or unless
something happens in the voting process. I mean, you gotta
think if it happened to those two, it's gonna happen
to Tom Brady as well. Yeah, I mean you would
think so. But man, he went to Tampa Bay and
won a Super Bowl too. Maybe I don't know, maybe
maybe maybe that helps him get out. Like if Tom
Brady's not a first ballot Hall of Famer, like what
the hell are we doing?
Speaker 4: Like why do we say the same thing about Belichick too?
You know what I mean? That's you could that's.
Speaker 7: Or you could you could, I guess, Like, but even
Brady's resumes even better than Belichick's because he won one
without it.
Speaker 4: Sure, but the resume like like I get it, Like.
Speaker 9: Yeah, for sure, the resume speaks.
Speaker 4: Obviously they're gonna get.
Speaker 3: They're gonna get they're getting punished for something by a
small group of insignificant, small brainded men. They are getting.
They're getting punished for something. So it's not about resume.
So Tom Brady's resume looks even a little bit better,
but it doesn't like you can take the Tampa thing away,
because his resume already was first ballot Hall of Famer.
So you gotta think if they're getting punished, they're gonna
Tom's gonna ge punished because you're talking about the greatest
quarterback to play the game, but you're also talking about
the greatest coach to ever coach the game. Like it's
the it's both of them would be wildly egregious. And
I would say almost even equally egregious.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, I mean, look, they should be in without question,
and like to the original point of it taking away
it's certainly it has already, as I said, like a
Super Bowl media row, like that's what they're talking about.
And Drew Brees deserves his celebration obviously being one of
the better quarterbacks of all time.
Speaker 4: So you know.
Speaker 7: The Tom Brady deal, like whoever is on the back
with him, like can they get in?
Speaker 9: And he does it that poor soul. You know, that's
gonna be bad.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be like that scene from like Rudy when
all the Hall of Fame people should just turn their
jackets in.
Speaker 9: The Yeah, but that actually but but it would actually happen.
Speaker 4: It would actually happen, that the outrage.
Speaker 3: That's right, all right, Well, anything like you're specifically looking
forward to, like a random guest that you're looking forward to,
like maybe trying to hawk down and interview.
Speaker 4: You lost me again, No, I said, not SpongeBob again though.
Speaker 9: Right, Oh oh god, I hope so that guy was electric.
I hope we get that guy again.
Speaker 7: Daniel Cormier, I'm looking forward to that UFC fighter from Louisiana.
I know a lander will appreciate that we get him. Uh,
I think tomorrow, So I do know that. And and
the schedule usually comes out like the morning of and
that's what we're talking about obviously, like in our production
meetings kind of who we have. I think Baraja Biamilla
is my first guest today. Former Edge Rusher, NFL guy.
He's always a lot of fun to catch up with.
But who was Agbaraja via Mila?
Speaker 3: Nice work? Do you work that in the do you
work that in the bathroom looking in the mirror?
Speaker 9: No, it's my third year and a half him. If
you don't think the first year I had him, I
had night sweats. You're crazy. But year three I feel
pretty good about it. You know, the first year I.
Speaker 7: Was doing super Bowl Radio Monday second segment.
Speaker 9: They're like, yeah, you got a Barbaja va Milla. I'm like,
I'm sorry, what God bless you? Yeah, but he know
he's great and so yeah.
Speaker 6: Onlike American Ninja Warrior or something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, he was the host of that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so I think he hits a gosh. I forget
which company. It's awful.
Speaker 7: He does a plug for a company every single year
and they sent him to the super Bowl. So that's
my first guest today, Blake said, it kind of heats up.
Probably have somebody really cool on the rundown that I've
already forgotten about. But yeah, Dato Cormier. For me, I've
never had a chance to really talk to him, and
being from Louisiana.
Speaker 9: That's gonna be a lot of fun tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Sounds good. All right, buddy, we're gonna let you go
because you surprised. Surprise. We're a little bit late for
a break here, so we appreciate the time.
