Speaker 1: I'll start to what you want to present? Some off
the bench with Jacob Hester and T bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yea off the.
Speaker 1: Bench with Jacob Hester and T bob Abert.
Speaker 3: Off the bench.
Speaker 1: Now here's Jacob Hester and T bob Abert.
Speaker 4: Hello Love, welcome here. Hello Poppy.
Speaker 3: You best stop believing in ghost stores because you're in one.
Is it, miss Watson?
Speaker 4: What's your last name? What are you referencing?
Speaker 3: You best stop believing in ghost stores because you're in one.
Speaker 5: I don't remember what this is from.
Speaker 4: Hello, Bop it.
Speaker 2: Nothing, It's not if chat gets it.
Speaker 4: Anyone. Where's the romo is?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say. I think that somebody gets thank
you for parts of the Caribbean.
Speaker 5: Oh, I haven't seen that movie in age.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: The first one A good one, A great one, A
great movie. I don't really care for the rest of
the series. I'm sure there's some good stuff in those
later ones. Like actually, I don't know.
Speaker 4: This might be where I like, like, I remember seeing
the second one in theater.
Speaker 2: It's like that was okay. I remember seeing the third one.
I think I fell asleep. It is like at World's inners.
That's the worst one. I just kind of washed my head.
Oh that's what is miss Swan you mess believe in ghost.
Speaker 4: Believe it or not. I actually love that entire series,
Parts of the Caribbean. Really, it's one of my that's
one of my favorite movie series.
Speaker 2: Okay, so give me a breakdown post, because I think
one is incredible in how it succeeded. Right, You took
a theme park ride, You really breathed life into it.
It was a super fun swashbuckley movie. I mean so
much of it is a testament to the impact that
a single actor can have in terms of how Johnny
Depp brought Captain Jack Spirou to life. I remember the
old story about how he shows up and his teeth
are all crazy looking, like what the hell did you do?
Speaker 4: And he's like, I'm a part.
Speaker 3: Enough, you know, But.
Speaker 2: I just afterwards it didn't it didn't do much for
me after that first. I think the first is a masterpiece.
So what happens like in the rest of series. What
are our rankings here, like best movie to worst movie? Yeah, yeah, okay,
so I think the second one is the best. Davy
Jones Locker.
Speaker 4: Oh that is fair.
Speaker 2: Actually, like the second one more than give me credit
for it, but they get all the ghost Ship and
Jones special effects too for Beingji heavy really hold up well.
Speaker 4: I really like that one. The fourth one, I can't
remember the name of that one, but it's the they
try to find the Fountain of Youth. That's a really
good one as well. So the fourth one is maybe
a bit of a return to form after the third. Yeah,
and the fourth one is the first one with Penelope Cruise.
Kira Knightley leaves, Penelope Cruse comes in, she's like a
rival pirate. And then the most recent when dead Men
Tell No Tales is right, and then I did not
like ad World's in that's where it was like icy.
The whole movie was like really like Frozen again. I
think I'd like that checked out after three, I don't
think I didn't. I didn't like three dead Men Tell
No Tales.
Speaker 2: You know that's it's from the ride. There's a little
skull tells you read before you drop in. Parates one
of the all time great theme park attractions, and it
still remains so still hits still an excellent way to
One of the most fun parts about it is a
sense of unreality that you get when you leave that
hot La or a hot Florida sun and all of
a sudden you're in the interior and it's night in
the Caribbean and you're going on a piratical adventure.
Speaker 4: Ah what al right? So anyways, ranking two, one, four
or five three?
Speaker 2: Okay, you know I don't ban people often, but go
Maha twenty three says the entire Lord of the Rings
trilogy was a snooze fest meant to inspire in cells. Okay, you, sir,
are getting in ten minute time out.
Speaker 4: Get out of my chat.
Speaker 2: I'll never ever suffer any fools in here making fun
of Lord of the Rings. Okay, we got Jake coming
up here at nine excuse me eight thirty jakeson to
join us live from Dallas, or even seeing his videos
yesterday snow on the.
Speaker 4: Ground, snow on the ground in Dallas. What's it like?
Speaker 2: We'll get the latest ahead of tonight's playoff game right now?
Uh mister big pop, he says, love getting stuck on
that ride with the cannon tating the water and getting soaked.
I mean I remember as a little kid, I would
always my father was very fun to go to theme
parks with and because he's like a little kid himself
in a lot of ways. And I was a very
gullible child, right like my sisters. When I think we
were at Disney when I was about eight or nine,
like way too old to be believing this. My sisters
convinced me that the Jungle Cruise was full of real
animals and that like people had died on it before,
being attacked by big cats and whatnot.
Speaker 4: So I was terrified going on Jungle Cruise.
Speaker 2: I remember seeing a robotic triceratops and being convinced, wait,
is that real?
Speaker 4: Is that real? So I was an idiot, but.
Speaker 2: It led to some fun moments, like I'll never forget
my first time writing Pirates. This was back when you
could sell very realistic guns in the gift shop, and
so my old man bought these rifles that were made
of wood and metal and didn't even have orange tips.
He buys these old musket rifles and he's like, come on,
so we got our pirate hats on, we have our rifles,
and we're in the boat and he's like, grabb my
head and he's like.
Speaker 4: Get down, jamming my head down.
Speaker 2: Bullets are singing by cannonballs are splashing in the water.
This is one of my favorite all time memories. Can't
tell those guns anymore. You can still sell sorts up.
Those guns are cool though. Anyway, I want to talk
a lot of NFL playoffs this hour. We got a
Taytay NFL Story of the Day day coming up, and
we do have some other college football news maybe get
to as well if we have time. So why don't
you come hang out with this YouTube dot com slash
one of four or five ESPN for now.
Speaker 4: Give me some NFL films. Musical landra.
Speaker 3: Oh, NFL Wild Cord Weekend about to go down and
it all gets underways. Saturday at three point thirty has
Jakes Los Angeles Chargers head to Houston to the frozen
tundra to take on CJ.
Speaker 4: Stroud and the Texans. God, there's a lot of good
matches here.
Speaker 2: Will go one by one, Chargers Texans first to the
dock at this Saturday.
Speaker 4: I hope to be.
Speaker 2: Deep throating sesame chicken at this time, though I may
save it for Saturday night. Not sure, Taylor, You're kind
of I'm gonna I'm not even gonna front you know
more about the NFL this year than I do.
Speaker 4: What's your read on this game? I like the Chargers
in this game. Not only are the Texans beat up,
but even when they were fully healthy, they were a
little disappointing this year. I mean this was this was
a team where you were like, hey, you might have
a top five quarterback in CJ. Stroud, you might have
the best receiving trio in the league, and you signed
Joe Mixon. They're nine and eight, and I get it,
they've been uh, they've been banged up, but they're still
banged up. There's no stuff on Diggs, there is no
Tank Dell. And then the Chargers. You know, JK. Dobbins
is a game time decision. He was a big part
of that offense. Lad McConkie has been really good. Justin
Herbert only three interceptions of the entire season. This team
does not turn over the ball. I think the Chargers win.
Speaker 2: I I kind of think the Chargers win as well,
because Jim Harbaugh has proven to win in these situations
so consistently in the past when he was in San Francisco. Like,
I don't think they ever lost before the NFC Championship.
What do you make two NFC championships and one Super
Bowl win. He made the playoffs, so I could see
it potential big win for la here, big win for
Jake in the Bush League Bolts.
Speaker 4: It's a new era. Yeah, CJ. Stroud's in a major
sophomore slump, So Chargers.
Speaker 2: It's always so tough to try to parse through how
those things come about. Now, credit to the Texans for
still making the playoffs in straft, Yeah, there's something to
be said.
Speaker 4: For that for sure. Yeah, I'm.
Speaker 5: They're pretty bad this year, so I'm shocked that they're
even in the playoffs.
Speaker 4: But well, so that's the thing, right, everybody's like, oh, well,
you know the Texans are still a playoff team. On
the rest of your division or the Colts, the Jaguars,
I mean, you don't. You don't have you don't have
the cream of the crop that you're going against here
in that division anyways. But credit to them, Like you
go look at CJ shout as raw numbers are probably
a little bit better than how we looked on the field,
But that team so beat up. I can't pick them.
And I thought the defense would be a little bit
better under under Jamico Ryans in year two but they've
kind of taken a step back as well. All right,
next on the list, seven PM.
Speaker 2: I mean, you want to talk about it mattering for
these fan bases Steelers Ravens to AFC North, rivals that
hate each other with the passion of a of a
thousand blizzards. The only thing is these are two teams
heading in opposite directions. The Steelers, while they started very strong,
have kind of faltered down this. They did split the
season series, so it's one one. This is a rubber match.
But like, surely the Ravens are going to win this game,
playing so well, Derek Henry's playing so well.
Speaker 4: As I said, this was the Steelers record on the stretch,
like two and five, Yeah it was not. So let's
see they lost. Yeah, and they're coming into this game
on a three game losing streak or four game losing streak,
I should say they lost Eagles, Ravens, Chiefs, Bengals. Now
the Bengals were hot and the other three teams or
some of the elitements in the league. But you're a
four game losing streak coming Oh.
Speaker 2: So doesn't this get fascinating though, because it's just ratchets
up the pressure on Lamar, right, the Lamar would have.
If Lamar won a Super Bowl, we would be talking
about him like we talked about Patrick Mahomes, like maybe
on pace to be the greatest quarterback of all time,
or maybe like a Peyton Manning, right, whatever the case
may be.
Speaker 4: I mean, he has all the MVPs.
Speaker 2: He has an astronomically good regular season record.
Speaker 4: The lone blemish is two and four in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the only thing holding Lamar back. You have
such obvious advantages into this game.
Speaker 4: You're at home. You must win Saturday night, and I
think they do. Yeah, I think they win. Not only
are the Steelers trended in the wrong direction. Okay, you
mentioned that they split the season series, right. The Steelers
got a two point win at home back in November,
and that was when Ross was playing better than he
is now. Just three weeks ago, they played this game
in M and T Banks Stadium in Baltimore, where this
game will be played. The Ravens won thirty four to seventeen.
It wasn't particularly close. So when the Ravens are at home,
they are very hard to beat. And the Steelers, I
just I don't think they're the team to beat them.
Speaker 5: No, Well, Jake asked us, I think last week, like
who would you not want to play in the playoffs,
and I said the Ravens and Taita. He covered it
like in an NFL story of the day. I think
last week too they yeah, I mean they have the
best roster in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Again, hard to argue with it's just the play because
I had the stats written for a show the other
day and we didn't get to it. But it's not
just that he hasn't lost, But objectively, Lamar has not
played well in these games. He's really struggled statistically well
all the losses. I should say this is important to
note this. This did come out this morning say Flowers
is not played in this game. And Save Flowers is
a Pro Bowl wide receiver.
Speaker 4: And the biggest issue with Lamar in the playoffs has
been he locks onto Mark Andrews a little bit too
much at times because he doesn't trust his weapons on
the outside. Save Flowers opened up that offense. Save Flowers
will not be in this game. I think it's close, Yeah,
because that Mike Tomlin's still a really good play. The
NFL games close, Yes, right, this is going to be
a close name, Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 2: Somebody's talking crap, would saying Brian ke Mike, Mike Tomas,
Brian Kelvy NFL.
Speaker 4: Well, Mike Tomlin's one of the best coaches in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy. He has a Super Bowl ring. And
again he's never had a losing season. Yeah, Mike Tomlin.
I get like, Steelers fans need to be careful now. Now,
the Steelers ownership I don't think is great in line
with the fans, but I know a lot of Steelers fans.
Speaker 4: All they do is complain about Mike Tomlin. And I'm like, okay,
you know, be careful what you wish for. Bruh. I
get it, okay. And yes, he came in with Big Ben,
he had an established quarterback, he had Devilin Hodges, Mason Rudolph,
can he pick it? It didn't matter, I mean, and
you have Russell Wilson, who's kind of turned his career around.
He was awful last year in Denver. He's been a
lot better than you than he was under Sean Pad Like,
anybody be lucky to have Mike Tomlin. Yes, it's it's
it's asini truly.
Speaker 5: Now he wouldn't be with the Steelers that long.
Speaker 4: If he wasn't a good coach, he would on the
open market.
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin would command like twenty million dollars like Mamala
would get an interview from every team people.
Speaker 4: On fire their coach just to get Mike tom Mike
Tomlin could pick which NFL job he took outside of
like the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: Former Saint Deontay Hardy questionabile play for the Ravens. I
haven't thought of Deontay Hardy. Here's a name I have
not heard in a long time. Of course I know him.
Speaker 4: He's me next on the list. God stop with the
ums in the ospital.
Speaker 2: Sunday at noon, the Denver Broncos head up to Buffalo
to take on the Bills in a battle of cold
on cold, And.
Speaker 4: I mean, this is how maybe a two siege game
should feel. It feels like the.
Speaker 2: Bills have the massive advantage here, Broncos kind of playing
with house money, that they're already in the playoffs. The
only thing is what travels well defense, and the Broncos
are likely the best. I mean, this is this the
best offensive, best defense in the NFL going toe to toe.
Speaker 4: Here It might be I don't know about the best offense.
It's certainly the best defense. It might be the most offense. Yeah,
it's the most efficient offense for sure. They don't turn
the ball over a ton, They get into scoring position
a lot. I think Josh Allen takes care of business here.
I think this is I think this is his year
to finally, you know, get over that home we talk about.
We talk about Lamar in the the hump is obviously no,
I get it, but I think I think think Josh
could go in a little bit of run here in
the playoffs. We talk about Lamar all the time. Josh,
I've been creating the playoffs either. Now his issue has
been Patrick ma Holmes, which is an issue for everybody.
But at times Josh Allen's turned the ball over a lot.
He hadn't done that a lot this year. I think
he's gonna take care of business. I think they'll be fun.
Speaker 2: Isn't it just so crazy the difference in the AFC
and NFC quarterbacks. Like in the NFC quarterbacks, you have
some okay names, you have some guys that are exciting,
like Jalen Hurts definitely awesome, Jaydon Daniels obviously already turned
to make waves. Jordan Love pretty good, Baker Mayfield good.
But like in the AFC, you have MVP level guys
all trying to climb on over one another.
Speaker 4: And one of them did he even make it in Burrow?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: I mean, who's the quote unquote. I don't think any
of them are bad. Worst quarterback in the AFC playoffs
Nicks just because he's a rookie. Yeah, but I mean
he had a really good year, and like he said,
he's probably your worst quarterback in the playoffs for the AFC, well,
probably Russell. I guess the way they're playing currently, Yes,
but I think the billis take care of business. I
don't I'm not worried about this game. All their starters
are well rested at the they're fine.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to break and then when we
get back, we get to the final three games of
the NFL weekend.
Speaker 4: Keep it locked. Then we got Jake join us at
that OTV Moster Bench. Go to All Star Toyota Batrouges

take advantage of the year in sales. Head over to
All Star Toyota of batonuge dot com today.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the ninth ranked morning sports show in America.
Speaker 4: Off the bench.
Speaker 2: Uh, leave it for a little bit longer because I
need to get to the Karen Allen kind of love
theme in this song. I think this is John Williams.
I think this is my favorite single song by John Williams. Now,
there's plenty of greates doing me wrong, but this song
encapsulates everything, the adventure, the whimsy, the emotion. I mean,
you hear this song, you get a stirring in your loins,
a little courage. I'm gonna go on an adventure if
you're like a kid again. I want to play the
new Indiana Jones video game. What's y'all's favorite Indiana Jones.
Speaker 4: Last Crusade very good, hard, probably my favorite. Sean Connery excellent,
He's great. I think this one Raiders. Yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 2: I think I'm a Raiders man myself because I love
Karen Allen and as good as Crusade is, it's it's
it's more expansive, it's bigger, it's pleasure. I kind of
like how intimate a lot of Raiders feels.
Speaker 4: I will say the opening scene from like the Bowler
roll and all the way to jump it in the water,
get into the plane, that is my favorite scene of
any of the opening of the first movie is my
favorite scene. Yeah. Oh, so many great set pieces about
this series. All right, get rid of it, it's over.
Oh where's it in their mind?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I was thinking, well, I'm confused.
I thought there was an extended version and I'm not
talking about the full Raiders march.
Speaker 4: I don't know. We'll get up. I'll get to you later.
All right.
Speaker 2: Let's go ahead then and dive back in to our
NFL playoff talk. We talked Broncos Bill. So so far,
we think the Chargers will win.
Speaker 4: We think the Ravens will anything. The Bills will win,
no surprise there.
Speaker 2: Now we're starting to get into maybe little Murph fifty
to fifty type territory.
Speaker 4: Their Chargers texts to be clear as that as well. Uh.
Speaker 2: But Sunday afternoon, three point thirty pm, Packers heading to
Philly to take on the Eagles.
Speaker 4: Tayjay, I like the Eagles in this game. This might
be outside of Bills Broncos, maybe my easiest pick of
the weekend in my opinion, I think the Eagles are rolling.
Saguan's well rested. I think Jalen Hurts is going to
be fine. There's a reason they kept him out the
last few weeks the season. They want him to be
good to go for the playoffs. They have too many weapons.
That defense is a lot better than it was a
year ago. And I'm just a little like, I don't
want to sound like a hater here, but I'm just
a little tired of hearing about Jordan Love. Like Jordan
Love's okay. I mean, there's just so many people that
are like Jordan Love's a top ten quarterback. Just because
you're paid like a top ten quarterback doesn't mean you're
a top ten quarterback. I mean, twenty five touchdowns, eleven
picks this year, that's fine. Jalen Hurts has been a
lot more efficient than him, and Jordan Love was bad
at the end of last year as well. Like the
last year and a half, he's kind of been a
little met and I mean that hadn't really changed. And
Christian Watson towards ACL for the Packers, He's not playing
in this game. I just think the Eagles have too
many weapons at home too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, links an incredibly tough place to try to win
in the playoffs. Eagles continuing on the war path. I mean,
if you think about it, for ninety five percent of
the last three years, the Eagles have been a top
five NFL team, right, I mean they go over making
a Super Bowl and losing, so then starting ten and
two before for whatever reason, and seven of your last
eight everything fell apart and.
Speaker 4: Upset by the Bucks last year in the playoffs. I
mean in a game that wasn't closed.
Speaker 2: No, that's what I'm saying, like completely shattered and fell apart.
But then you've done and hobbled it back. I mean
you just built it all back up, put it back together. So, yes,
this is an Eagle team that is probably more dangerous
than we're giving them credit for. It just remains Nick
Sirianni remains one of the funniest characters in all of football.
And how he's treated and that I don't know I've
ever seen a coach win so many games and yet
his own fans just like this guy freaking sucks.
Speaker 4: I think the national guys this guy. So yeah, he's
like RINDI, You're right. Every day after the show, like
you look up at the TV and somebody's bashing Nick Siriotti.
You're just like guys like he's winning. He's in the
playoffs every year. I get it, he's played for a
Super Bowl. I think the Eagles are way better.
Speaker 2: Uh all right, so Eagles over Packers. Yet, I mean,
it would be shocking if the Packers.
Speaker 4: Won that game, I would be I would be very,
very surprised.
Speaker 2: And here's an exciting one, seven PM Sunday Night football.
Jaden Daniels, the rookie phenom who has breathed life into
a new era of the Washington Commanders. A franchise that
has been stumbling around in its own fecal matter for
decades now has emerged and it's clean and it's ready
to go.
Speaker 4: Only they're running into frisky.
Speaker 2: The NFC South champion Tampa Bay Buccaneer team that is tough,
led by Baker Mayfield, elite offense, not a great defense, shootout,
high scoring. Can that defense stop Jayden Daniels? Can Jayden
Daniels have some postseason success the postseedon success that he
was even denied the opportunity to have in college, Ta Tate?
Where's your heart at here?
Speaker 4: I think this is the toughest one to pick, and no,
not just because I love both quarterbacks, but if you
go look this team played. These two teams played each
other all the way back in Week one. I'm taking
Jayden Daniels' performance out because it was his first NFL game,
doesn't matter. If you look at Baker against that defense.
Week one eighty percent completion, four touchdowns, one of the
best games he had all year. Now, that defense is
a little bit better what I'm but the Bucks offense
is good, right, I mean, I think they're top five
in the NFL in passing and rushing. The Bucks have
a good offense. They're going to move the ball against anybody.
I'm looking at Jayden Daniels against the Bucks defense. The
Bucks strength is their running defense. Can they limit what
Jayden can do with his legs? And they've been bad
in the secondary, but they've been a little injured too.
They had had Jordan Whitehead, they hadn't had Antoine Winfield
for a number games. How healthy is that defense? Who plays?
I think Jayden versus the Bucks defense is going to
be the matchup to watch. I kind of feel like
the Commanders are going to win this game. I just
I don't think Jayden's done with his rookie magic here.
I just I don't know. I'm going back and forth.
It's hard for me to pick a rookie quarterback to
win a playoff game. It's just it's really hard, and
he's on the road. I guess I'll go Bucks because
they're the home team. But I don't. I don't feel
good about it. I can definitely see Jayden winning this game.
Speaker 6: Elijah, Okay, Jayden is a rookie quarterback, but he's not
every rookie quarterback Like this man has ice in his bank,
no heartbeat, and I just it's hard for me not
to pick Jayden and the Commanders.
Speaker 4: In this one.
Speaker 2: Well, to your point, Jayden's had a lot of high pressure,
a big moment delivering wins lately, that he'll.
Speaker 5: Marry, Yeah, that one, then the game versus the Bears, like,
and yeah, it's hard for me not to put all
my eggs in one basket with Jayden.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm still gonna fade. I understand everything else
saying I'm still fading the rookie quarterback on the road.
Speaker 4: That that's that's kind of my thing. Like if the
Commanders were at home, I wouldn't care as much about
the rookie quarterback. They're on the road and Tampa's won
like six of their last seven games, getting the playoffs.
They're playing this though. I just I don't I get
totally Jaden winning this game. This is going to be
smiling and chilling. Yep, that's what we're talking about the
other day. I think I think Jayden's best attribute not
his ability to run. I think I think his his
composure is his best. Actually, are these the two.
Speaker 2: Best good vibe quarterback matchups in the playoffs?
Speaker 4: Absolutely? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's not just because
I but yeah, like, I like, I don't see two
that are such good vibes as are because the Texans
are kind of trending in the wrong direction. Russ has
fallen off, Jordan Love has been bo Nicks is a rookie.
But like, yeah, fun though, Baker versus James, Like, this
is this game. I was the most excited for one.
I think it's the toughest want to pick, all right.
Speaker 2: And then Monday night football Vikings Rams, So it's funny.
On the AFC side, the two seven feels obvious. Two
seven here feels very dangerous for the right.
Speaker 4: No, no, this is the five. Sorry, this is the four.
This is the four five, the Bucks one and the
Rams lost. The Bucks are actually three, The Rams are
the four. That's on me.
Speaker 2: Uh, but yes, this feels very I guess I'm just
thinking about their records. This feels very dangerous despite the
disparity in the records for the Vikings having.
Speaker 4: To go on the road. Well, actually no, now it's
a little bit. It's officially been moved as last Night
two Arizona. I'm actually picking the l A. Rams and
this I know we talked about it a couple of
weeks ago, like me and Jake were going back and
forth who we think is maybe a dangerous team in
the playoffs, and people aren't talking about I picked the
Rams just because they're getting so healthy. Stafford and McVeigh
have been there, done that, cups getting healthier, Pokinakua's back,
that defense is getting better than they were, and look,
I get it. Sam Donald's had a really good year.
He kind of picked the biggest moment last week to
have his worst game of the year, and I kind
of can't get past that. Right now. I'm picking the
LA Rams with the I mean, it's probably not an
upset because it is the highest game. I mean, they're
the higher seed. Most people are probably going to pick
the Vikings. I'm picking the Rams. Sam Donald needs this one.
Speaker 2: One of my least favorite parts about this job is
how we love a story like Sam Donald's, but for
some sick reason, we also love when it crashes and
we get to say, ha, you are who we thought
you were. And if Matt Stafford beat Sam Donald, all
of that just comes rocketing back to the forefront here.
I mean you even saw it in the Lions matchup
there to end the season. Oh, Sam Donald back into
a pumpkin, all that sort of stuff. Massive game for
O'Connell and Darnald here. I think they get it done.
I think they beat the Rets.
Speaker 4: I'm kind of with you.
Speaker 3: There. It is.
Speaker 4: NFL playoff review.
Speaker 2: When we get back, let's talk to Jay Caster live
from detail. We're InChI closing the championshiping as well.
Speaker 1: Keep you locked to know to be off the bench,
back to sports talk. Maybe off the bench, Elandra, how.
Speaker 4: Long was the version of ray Here's Martie play? I
don't know, like two minutes. Okay, that's what I thought,
because when I was listening to is five minutes. So
I don't know what.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm not no, I don't care. I was
just trying to make sure I wasn't losing my mind.
Speaker 4: I can play that one when we come back, if
you send me a link to it or put in
the dock or whatever.
Speaker 2: Oh I haven't heard this song forever. Jakie, this one,
this one, no, this, I've not heard this in a
long time. Jakie, Wakey, Eggs and Baky live from the lakey.
Speaker 4: Uh, that's Dallas, Jake. What's up, brother? How are we
doing today? Not to make a big mistakey? Yeah, it's right, dude.
Are you a chance you know it would be a mistake?
I don't know. Yeah, just watch out for I was
just keeping it on showing.
Speaker 2: I think the launches maybe the Gentleman's Club that we
went to in our bowl game back in the day.
Our offensive line coach was secretly on the top floor
spye on all of us. We had no idea until
he told us at meetings the next day, spending all
the per diem.
Speaker 3: That we had.
Speaker 4: Hey, I'm.
Speaker 7: Buying on my kids, babe. I had to go make
sure the boys were doing wrong thing exactly.
Speaker 4: That's good coaching. It's good coaching. Stand on top of
your players, keep out of trouble, dude.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Speaking of good coaching, Jake, last night, this was a
prettydamn good coaching by Marcus streaming that Notre Dame football team.
Speaker 7: It was tea and man, they just continue to find
a way, don't they. And Penn State jumps out front,
and you know, Penn State has done that before. They
did it to Ohio State earlier in the year, they
jumped up ten to nothing. But this game was a
little bit different game flow than that, and credit to
Notre Dame and just continues to go out there and
make the plays. My boy, Mitch Jeter hits the field goal.
Speaker 2: There from six to twelve in the regular season twenties
and now six of seven in the playoffs, and they're
all like forty plus yards.
Speaker 7: He's been so he was injured, you know, most of
the years he was trying to fight through that injury
and he's like, look, I'll still kick I just it's
not going to be my best, but I'll do it
because he was so good at South Carolina.
Speaker 4: But I mean, how big was he in those moments?
And you know, just knowing that in this.
Speaker 7: Playoff kickers for zero for four in those situations before.
Speaker 2: But wait, that's okay, let's hie like that for a second,
because that was a fascinating nugget in eleven years of
the playoff.
Speaker 4: Also eleven years the playoffs, how did we get here? Guys?
Speaker 2: But in eleven years of the playoff, go ahead fourth
quarter kicks kickers were zero and four.
Speaker 4: It had literally never happened until Lesbian.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so think about that, Think about the pressure that
you know that comes with I mean, shoot, I guess
Alburn missed two of them for Texas just a week ago,
and so you know from to make the kick, but
you know for the defense to make a play. And look,
Drew Aller, if he's going to make a bad play,
well you got to go capitalize off of it.
Speaker 4: And they did.
Speaker 7: And Riley Leonard just does what he does. He lives
by the old meat, had a motto of too gritty
to be pretty. Yeah it's not pretty most of the time,
but it's effective and he gets the job done. And
Notre Dame their weapons didn't show up and they still
found a way. Now, I would have loved to see
Jeremiah Love healthy because you could tell, even with a
huge knee brace and hobbled like he's different, Like he's
got an explosion that nobody else.
Speaker 4: Bro how about that touchdown on it reminded me of you.
He would not be denied. Dude.
Speaker 7: Man, it was awesome, great kid, super athletic, so Yeah,
Notre Dame finds a way in the Penn State disappointment again,
because it felt like they had that game. It felt
like they were doing whatever they wanted, like they were
imposing their will on Notre Dame, and then they weren't,
and then it just it fell through their fingers.
Speaker 4: And that's gonna be a tough one, man. I feel
like Drew.
Speaker 7: Aller, man, gosh, but it's gonna be a tough one
for you to turn the page on.
Speaker 4: Well, it's because it was on him. Honestly, it wasn't
on the play calling, the design.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 4: It sucks. It's firmly on Drew Aller's shoulders.
Speaker 7: It's it's a like you said, the touchdown that he
kind of threw into the hip of the running back.
Speaker 4: Should the running back catch that? Now that's on Alan.
That's on Alan. I'm with you, like yes, like sure
the running back could catch it. Sorry, you break up things, so.
Speaker 2: Okay, if I'm in I'm not trying. For some reason,
the internet is screwing up, so it keeps going silent.
I keep having to try to talk. But I think
we're saying the same thing in that the running back
could have caught it, but the original sin and ultimate
sen is with Aler there. Uh, Jake, what about this.
You're in Dallas covering Texas, Ohio state. Uh, what's the
weather like, what's the town like, what's going on?
Speaker 4: Boots of the ground.
Speaker 7: Yes, so the weather might be a reason why the
internet is a little spotty here. True, it's still nasty.
It's gosh, you know, it was great snow. It's like
actually snow like snowflakes yesterday morning and now it's just
a good old Southern air quote snow where it's.
Speaker 4: Really just ice and just mush and wet everywhere. So
there's not a lot of people on the roads.
Speaker 7: The media bus yesterday apparently when it went over to
the stadium, it had an adventure. The bus driver, not
you know, a professional driver of this type of weather,
no fishtailing a little bit, hit his brakes on a
bridge apparently, which is like obviously a no no.
Speaker 4: So it's touching go, it's touching go a little bit here.
Speaker 7: But you know, the game is gonna be played inside
and both teams still been able to practice, and so
it's not like you know, people you know, necessarily lost
power or anything like that.
Speaker 4: Tea so I'm looking forward to it though.
Speaker 7: It's you know, it's probably probably the two most talented
rosters in all of college football, and it's got Jimmy's
and Joe's at every single level. Which one's going to
win out Like the Texas DB's, I can find them.
I've got the Or Award winner. You've got two other
players that I think are gonna play on Sundays. And
you're being told all week that, well, it doesn't matter
because a freshman is going to dominate you. Hey, look
that freshman might do that. But you know this, like
if you were a veteran guy, Like if you were
if you would have won like the Rimington right, and
then all of a sudden, like this badass freshman defensive
tackle has been tearing everybody up like no matter what
he did. Yeah, it's about this freshman like that that
gives you the ultimate motivation. I can't wait to see
that play out, because I do think Texas has the
guys to slow down.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying stop, but slow down.
Speaker 7: What Ohio State has been able to do with the
bombs over bagdad offense they've had the last two.
Speaker 2: Weeks, Yeah, I mean I remember gunning Missippi State came
back today'd be like Fletcher Cox, what he's like a
Drew sal I'm a senior, I'm a man. And then
I think I gave up two tiffles because it was
Fletcher Cox. So uh, maybe the Texas DB's. I was
at a Thorpe reward where maybe the Texas DB's can
do better.
Speaker 4: But you're point.
Speaker 2: I think the best point is if Jeremiah Smith does
find success with that in play, with that old man's
strength and play well, then you understand even more so
why everybody is so amazed by Jeremiah Smith and so
intrigued about how incredibly high his his his potential could
be over the next couple of years.
Speaker 4: All right, let's go away.
Speaker 7: What Texas tries to what Texas tries to take away
in this game is going to be very interesting to
me because Ohio State the last two games they've just
knocked out their opponent in the first quarter with passing
the football. Because Texas going to say, hey, you know what,
like we'll give Henderson and Jekins seven yard runs and
we'll figure things out, but we ain't gonna get heymade
like right off here off the top and just be
on the canvas and be done like that. That's me,
That's what I would do. I was like, I'm gonna
play coverage. I'm gonna trust my linebackers are going to
make enough plays. But it can't be number four again
because if you get down like that, I don't care
who you are, You're just you're not gonna come back it,
no matter how high powered your offense is. And so
I would expect them to play coverage, figure things out
before they really start to make those adjustments.
Speaker 4: It's well said.
Speaker 2: I completely agree on a game planning front from what
Texas should attempt to do. That's probably their best path
to victory. All right, when we get back more Jake
Live from Dallas, keep you locked right here on off
the bench.
Speaker 4: Off the bench, Hey, guys, check it out.
Speaker 2: We got a brand new sponsor here on the show,
and we are so proud to be partner Repelican Roofing.
Why because I love how they carry themselves. And they
won the Better Bitter Bureau Integrity Award, which I was
intrigued to learn. Guys, this is not industry specific, right,
So they didn't win this just against one business. They
won this against all the businesses in Lafayette, Okay, and
it's because integrity is one of their core principles and
it's giving to those who who operate, you know, with
the utmost integrity.
Speaker 4: How about this instant quote to you? So you at
a Pelican roof dot com. I love this.
Speaker 2: You can use the into quote teel you put in
your address. It uses satellite energy or satellite energy imagery,
uh to find your.
Speaker 4: House right, look at your roof.
Speaker 2: Then you put in what type of roof you're looking for, right,
so you customize it and you get an immediate estimate
right there to kind of begin your process.
Speaker 4: So you're in Lafayette, you're in Baton Rouge. You need
a roof. You want to go with the experts at
Pelican Roofing.
Speaker 3: What is that good saying?
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the ninth ranked morning sports show in America.
Speaker 3: Off the bench? Is this Fergie?
Speaker 4: Now, I'm just kidding. I'm guessing this name you?
Speaker 3: Why not?
Speaker 4: Okay? I thought so it based on what you said earlier.
We're just doing random stuff too.
Speaker 7: I love such confidence. I thought you were listening to
Fergit too. I can't hear it, but I thought you
were listening to.
Speaker 2: Friday mishmash Now she said, you want to sneak some
amy in there? Until again. I think Sia and Rihanna
are actually the same person. But that's a conversation for
another day.
Speaker 5: You know, they say Jennifer Lopez like a shanty sings
the songs, and Jalo is like lip singing them. Oh really,
that's what that's a that's a conspiracy.
Speaker 4: Is still alive, Shanti is alive and well.
Speaker 5: Okay, but yeah, they say a shanty sings the JLO
songs and Jlo just lip sings.
Speaker 4: I don't really know who shanty is. I guess actually
in movies and maybe music. She's been. She's been in
some movies.
Speaker 5: She does a lot of songs with j.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 7: I don't think that was going to be the thing
they got tea over. The finish line was ja rule?
I don't think so either, although what was it? What
was the Netflix show?
Speaker 4: Is she in Beauty and Black or Black Beauty? No,
I'll tell you what. It's very beautiful. Tell what you know?
John Talker must die. Yeah, she's the cheerleader, the other
one with hate him panic.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I never snow, pretty Snow. I never saw
it vaguely. Remember, Oh, she's one of the girls that
John Tucker's dating, and he's dating like three girls at
one time. Ashanti is one of them. M hmmm, should
be a bush is in it? He's aging like a.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think her and fifty center together or Nelly.
Speaker 4: I agree with chat. Jake's beanie makes him look like
a successful actor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you look very hollowood Hollywood, or now you will
look like our own Shane West right now, like you
and Shane West are there are are like that?
Speaker 4: That that's the exact vibe that that I'm getting. Ready, Yeah,
I get fighter vibes. Okay, I could see something box
or UFC fighter like she's got he's got the he's
got the beard as well.
Speaker 5: It's also that he's like on zoom in a hotel
room like you.
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, which which again, a fighter and or a
fight in the ballroom would to do?
Speaker 4: No, no, no, this fighter? Oh is that what it is?
I'm going so blind, dude, I'm trying to take these
pills every day from you have one? Yeah? Probably probably
care sure? Why not? Or just get contacts? Yeah, eventually
I will get glasses. What kind of glasses should I get?
Speaker 2: I kind of want to get round like Harry Potter glasses,
but my wife thinks that does look awful, and to
be fair, it probably would.
Speaker 4: I think you should get a monocle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hell yeah, now freaking talking, Hell yeah, dude, And like,
what do you do when somebody, let me read that
real quick, they just pop a monocle in the eye
on a chain?
Speaker 4: Is that a wallet chain? No, it's a monocle. T Bob.
Speaker 7: Your head's way too big for those little bitty round
glass from experience again, I know, I know you tried
to throw me and Flynn into the melon category. You
got one as well, But I know those little circle
things they're gonna look like little dots on your eyes.
Speaker 4: I mean, to be fair, it's true. I can never
find the sungunglasses that fit my head. No, you and
I have the same ray bands because you fit big heads. Yeah,
those extra wide girlfriend glasses.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm hmm, okay, a lot of knowledge up there
in the head bow. Yeah, some white frames. I feel
like this sweater is very glasses friendly though. Oh yeah,
like my head on glasses with this sweater, I would
look so like cozy and wise. You'd probably come to
me for advice on you know, how do how do
I raise my children?
Speaker 4: What do I do with my four? O?
Speaker 3: One K?
Speaker 2: And while I couldn't answer you, I could I could
look like I could answer you. You know, I did
sleep at a holiday in last night.
Speaker 4: Half the battle. You got half of it figured out with.
Speaker 2: The way Tebo talked about dudes, you need to buying
a oh did of a monocle? Binycle Okay, that's funny.
Speaker 4: Hollow I can yeah, got it?
Speaker 2: Hear me out two monocles SNUGGI. Oh yeah, dude, Now
we're really cooking two in one on each side. You
got to hold both of them then, like you know,
normally a monicle gives you like that great eyebrow look too.
It just looks crazy because both your eyebrows would be
constantly like this, be looking in a perpetual state of shock.
Speaker 4: Can you do the like the old rock eyebrow? Can
you get that? Can you do it?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know this? Okay? Yeah, Jake's is good. Ye,
Jake's is better than mine, but still not bad. I
think now you're just frozen like that.
Speaker 3: Jake.
Speaker 4: Look from here and I'm pretty far away. What are
you doing?
