Speaker 1: I'll start Toyota Presents off the bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Say, Hester and Hester got it five from.
Speaker 1: Carrying each other to and Natty to carrying.
Speaker 2: Each other on the air, control the.
Speaker 1: Live from the Mercedes Benz Baton Rouge studio.
Speaker 2: It's off the bench, all right, welcome back again now
number three O T B one oh four five ESPN
Baton Rouge And let's go ahead. It is nine o'clock
on a Monday morning, and get into some weekend winters.
That's how win it has done.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 2: We can't have anyone to freak out out there. Okay,
he's got a k bark apologer got too far. I'm
by winning. I went here and I went there. Now,
what are you doing what it takes to win a championship?
Speaker 4: Wow?
Speaker 2: Winning?
Speaker 5: Well, then I guess there's only one thing left to do.
What's that win the whole thing?
Speaker 2: All right? Weekend winner? How could that start anywhere else?
My guy, Antonio Gates, my former teammate in San Diego,
makes it to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Someone
who did not play college football, not a single snap
of college football. He only played college basketball at Kent State. Now,
he had a great football background in high school, and
there was an opportunity he was gonna sign with Michigan
State and Nick Saban, and you know, things happen. He
finds his way to Kent State and he's a basketball
player there. Certainly, you know, they had to run a
nice deep tournament run and he was kind of the
star of the run. And he got to try out.
They got to try out with the San Diego Chargers,
and obviously he makes the team, and I believe becomes
the first Hall of Famer to never take a snap
of college football. Right, that is correct? Okay, geting the
thumbs up. What a remarkable stat That is the first
ever to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame without
taking a single snap in college football. That's what Antonio
Gates does. Eight time Pro Bowl selection, three times first
team All Pro, two times second team All Pro. So
five times in his career. He was on the All
Pro team, on the NFL All Decade Team. In the
two thousands, Chargers all time leader in touchdown receptions, receptions
and receiving yards, the most touchdowns by any tight end
in NFL history. An incredible teammate, somebody that was always
in the foxhole. He was at every single workout in
the off season. It did not matter the time of year,
Gates was going to be there. If the building was
open and teammates were there, Gates was in the building
as well. One of the best human beings that he'll
ever meet. He had twenty one career games with over
one hundred yards receiving twenty one career multiple touchdown games
in the NFL. He had a touchdown in fifteen consecutive seasons.
That is also an NFL record for tight ends. So
my man, Antonio Gates, little clap for you. You deserve it.
For my money, the best tight end we've ever seen,
and the stats backed that up. He had such an
incredible connection with my guy pr seventeen. They knew what
each other, you know, was going to do before it
ever happened. They could look at each other and you'd
see a sixty yard touchdown. And so glad that Gates
got into the Hall of Fame. He should have been
a first ballot. Don't know how that falls to the cracks,
but either way he makes it on. There was so
cool to see all of my former teammates there with
him in Canton. Ohio Antonio Gates week in winter.
Speaker 4: Shout out Antonio Gates baller. That's super exciting though, to
have a teammate get into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it means. It means a couple of things. Means
that you have some really good times. It means you're old.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would.
Speaker 7: Feel like somebody is in the Hall of Fame like you.
Speaker 2: I got a few more coming up, number, But you
know what, nothing, nothing makes you feel older than when
a teammate of yours or somebody who played against is
like a head coach in the NFL.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's like or their kids playing in college.
Speaker 2: That's bad too.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Hell I got teammates John Runyon, his son plays for
the Packers.
Speaker 7: That yeah, that one's yeah.
Speaker 2: Come back from that.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So my we have a weekend loser, all right.
Speaker 6: And so we talked about Summer Slam a little bit earlier.
Speaker 4: We did, but mine doesn't really have to do with
the wrestler. So Russell Wilson was in attendance at SummerSlam
is at MetLife.
Speaker 7: So where he's about to lead the team.
Speaker 4: You know, they already named him their starting quarterback obviously,
I mean, but he set to lead the Giants this
coming season, signed a one year deal with them. In
the off season, him and his son were at the
at SummerSlam.
Speaker 6: The camera shows them in.
Speaker 4: The crowd, Like, I got booed at his own stadium.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 4: We gotta give him a weekend loser for that one,
because how are you gonna get booed in your own stadium.
Speaker 7: I get you're new to it, but that's not a
good sign.
Speaker 4: And I get that maybe yeah right, and I get
that maybe like they're.
Speaker 6: Not the same.
Speaker 4: Maybe the fandom doesn't cross over. I mean, I would
assume that it does.
Speaker 7: Like people that.
Speaker 4: Enjoy the WW probably enjoy football, So maybe that's like
like a plus that it wasn't a football quote unquote out.
But that's not a good look that you're getting booed
already in the stadium that you're gonna be playing in
all season long.
Speaker 7: So we get loser. Russell Wilson mister unlimited.
Speaker 2: Hey dangerous. Also like, don't wear your your logo like
everywhere you go. Take a night off.
Speaker 4: OK, maybe that's why Matt.
Speaker 6: It's like holding a mirror.
Speaker 4: Matt wears his logo twenty four seven. He's like, I
don't like the mirror being held up to me.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, shots fired.
Speaker 8: Did people feel a certain way about Russell Wilson Giants fans,
your quarterback last year was Tommy DeVito and Daniel.
Speaker 5: Jones, Like, let's let's right like you.
Speaker 8: About Wilson, But it ain't like they've been a model
of consistency at that position. My weekend winter will be
Ricky Piersol of the San Francisco forty nine ers. Now,
over the weekend, it came out that he seems to
be unequivocally right, unequivocally Brock Party's top target. Now, that
in itself is okay, fine, but look at what happened
at their position. Recently got rid of Deebo Samuel Brandon Ayuk,
who the hell knows what's going on with him. That
was a terrible contract. Juwan Jennings was kind of your
top guy a year ago. He's trying to get traded
because he hasn't got a new contract yet. And Ricky
Piersol's reaping the benefits of all of this right now.
He is balling a training camp. Like for anybody, if
you're looking for someone out there to root for.
Speaker 5: Make it Ricky Piersol. You saw what he went through
a year ago.
Speaker 8: Man, he was kind of the fourth receiver. Now he
appears to be the top option with all these guys
either not living up to their contracts, getting traded, asking
to be traded, and sitting out of practice. Like Ricky
Piersoll is reaping the benefits of this right now. So
a Weekend winner is mister Piersoll.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, he uh Look, I mean all jokes aside it.
I mean, the man did get robbed and shot and
still came back in the same season, which is just
wild and it shows you just kind of what kind
of player he is.
Speaker 5: And he came back quicker than Zion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fair.
Speaker 5: And Zion like stubbed his too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it was pinky. How about how about Arizona
State when Ricky pier saw Jayden Daniels, Ayuk and White
was it running back?
Speaker 6: Wait, that's crazy.
Speaker 2: I mean they were better that year, but like that's
egregious that they didn't win more games.
Speaker 5: That's why, that's why Herr Edwards ain't there no more?
Speaker 2: My god, what offensive talent they had there. Uh, I'm
gonna go Weekend Winter. One of my former position coaches
actually my first position coach at LSU. Derek Dooley, this man,
and it's not shocking, is running for senator in the
state of Georgia. Now, of course, his father, Vinced one
of the all time legendary coaches for the Georgia Bulldogs.
I think the field might even be named after Vince Dooley. So,
Derek Dooley was a lawyer, went to law school before
he became a coach, and so like we all knew
that that's who he was and that was his background,
and you could tell it like in everyday life that
that's what Derek Dooley. He's a lawyer, and it always
felt like he was going to do something outside of football. Now,
he was in football for a long time and he coached.
Speaker 6: Was he the one that.
Speaker 7: Said Flynn had fat ankles?
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, that would be him, great evaluator of talent. Yeah,
I mean he didn't miss anything. Oh fat ankle, cankle Flynn, right.
And so like he's been head coach at Tennessee, he
was the head coach at Louisian Tech, he was an
athletic director at Louisiana Tech. And he's been a position
coach in the NFL for the Cowboys for a long
time as well, But it always felt like he was
going to do something outside.
Speaker 8: Oh he looks like right, So that's this is why
I pulled him up. You want to tell I mean,
five people you've met in life that look more like
a lawyer than that man right there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Old duels as a senator if I've ever seen
that guy, that guy is a politician.
Speaker 5: He's a lawyer, lawmaker, whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again, this man coached football for a very,
very very long time. He's with the Cowboys, he was
in the Missouri, he's with the New York Giants. I
think he was most recently with Alabama. But I mean
he played college football at UVA. So look, he's been
in the game for a long time. But he always
felt like somebody that was going to do something outside
of football. He just did. And so you know, hey,
week in winter, unless he loses the race, dere.
Speaker 4: Dooley, if I could vote for him, I would just
off the fat ankles off, fat ankles off his Look
what state?
Speaker 5: What state?
Speaker 2: George, Georgia. Yeah, again, that's smart where his dad's an
absolute leg Yeah.
Speaker 8: That makes that makes to him maybe stay away from
the state of Tennessee.
Speaker 5: Maybe not that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was a coach at Tennessee when t Bob
had the bad snap or like the snap on purpose
that was overheads that ended up winning l Shu the game.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 8: I remember he's on the sidelines with his orange pants.
Speaker 2: He did full orange rows. All right, any more, weekend
winners are losers.
Speaker 7: We did it earlier during Taylor's top three.
Speaker 4: But I want to give like another week in winner
to the Bristol Speedway MLB game because that is so awesome.
And then I don't know if you mentioned it, but
like whenever they would hit a home run, the car
would do a lab and the loser part of it
is like day one was not what's up? But they
got it together and the next day was great. So
that is awesome. I think the MLB needs to do
that at least once a year. They need to bring
the field a Dreams game back to it's so good
really quick. We can loser to Jazz Chisholm too, because
he there's a pop out at second he got doubled
off because he was going straight for it was just
like really bad bass running.
Speaker 2: You forgot how me out there was?
Speaker 4: Well he thought that the second baseman was gonna try
to like purposefully drop the ball, but they asked him
about it after the game and he was like, I
wouldn't do anything differently, and then Aaron Boone's like, well,
I'm not gonna take him out the game. And I
just feel like Aaron Boone is not the guy, like
he always comes up short whenever, like they played in
the World Series, couldn't get it done because.
Speaker 6: Of stuff like that.
Speaker 4: Little stuff like that like Joshism doing that, Garrett Cole
not covering first, Aaron Judge with that pop out like
very Arkansas vibes, but like it just it's gotta go
if you have no fear of your coach and being
like also saying they ask you about it after the
game and you're like, I wouldn't do anything different, Like
I feel like that's a bad reflection on like who's
leading the team.
Speaker 7: So we can lose her to Justism and Aaron.
Speaker 5: Boone one more weekend loser and we're.
Speaker 6: Being some nigga.
Speaker 5: I hate to do it.
Speaker 2: I'll finish it off with the way.
Speaker 8: The Dallas Cowboys Friday about two o'clock. Yeah, Michael Parsons
out a tweet on Twitter saying that he would like
to be traded. He is officially requested a trade from
the Dallas Mice or Michael one, whichever one you want,
whichever one plays for this team. According to Jerry Jones,
Uh that relationship seems to be very fractured. So the
report that came out on Friday was Micah and Jerry
Jones had a closed door meeting just them two. A
contract kind of like a handshake agreement was agreed on. Okay,
all good. Michael went to his agent and said, hey,
we just agreed on the deal. Here it is because
agent was like, no, I can get you more. We're
not doing that. Ye look at that however way you
want to. It pissed off Jerry. Jerry's like, okay, well,
this is the contract we agreed on. This is the
contract we're giving you. He's as hardheaded as any man
in sports. So it's like fit on what side you
look at it. But right now, Michael parsons he's done.
And a big reason is he said, Jerry Jones will
not allow my agent to be in meetings any longer. Yeah,
like that's a big problem. This guy is your franchise player.
I know, you think it's Dak Prescott, it's not. It's
Michah Parsons. You have to re sign this guy. It's
just it's it's a bad scene right now. And on
top of that, like this was a slap in the face,
which is why I mentioned it the other day. Jake
Ferguson is a fine tight end. You gave that guy
a fifty two million dollar contract when your best player's
begging for just a couple of mill moreh and you
gave Jake fergure Like, we're gonna make Jake Ferguson. Jake
Ferguson became the richest tight end in franchise history.
Speaker 5: Four year, fifty two million dollar deal.
Speaker 6: Wait, that's crazy when you're.
Speaker 8: Trying to resign Michaeh Parson. It's like, I like Ferguson,
he's fine. I don't know if he's quite worth that,
but that's a slap in the face.
Speaker 2: The highest pay when you tell your your wife or
your spouse like, oh you look fine. So you saying.
Speaker 8: Schultz was better a couple of years ago, and they
let him walk because they didn't want to pay him.
Like it seems like every move year he's making in
the off season is just despite Micah Parsons, and he's
finally fed up with it. Guys like I, I might
be fed up with I don't know, well.
Speaker 2: I think uh, I think everybody should.
Speaker 6: Well, you have Stockholm syndrome, so.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, and you kind of did that to yourself.
All right, last one week in winter? All right? So
Luca Dona he signs a big extension, gonna be with
the La Lakers and looks great, looks in shape. Yeah.
Does anybody know what concert he went to to celebrate?
Speaker 5: I feel like I saw this yet over the weekend.
Speaker 2: No tell me huge weekend Winter Oasis, the Backstreet Boys
in Las Vegas. Let's go Luca. I was hoping, let's go,
well done, Luca. That's the way that I. Yeah, what's
that number. Let's see what was his extension? It was
something just whatever the max was. I don't know all
the millions in the world.
Speaker 4: Eighty put his mansion up for sale in La I
don't know if that really means anything, but did he.
Speaker 2: Get hurt putting the sign in the yard?
Speaker 5: Probably? Yeah.
Speaker 2: He did one hundred and sixty five million dollars over
three years for Luca celebrates going to see a little BSB.

Speaker 4: Bro?
Speaker 3: Were living? Good Man? Just just bought my ticket to
LSU Clemson. Brush, I'm gonna be in Clemson.
Speaker 2: Oh, you got boots on the ground. May You're gonna
be in South Carolina. Hold on, I don't know that.
I don't have you ever done anything like that, like
gone to an away game like that?
Speaker 3: No, I'm not well. I've been the old mess. That's
it your away game that I've ever been to. And
the only Saints away game I've ever been to was
in twenty seventeen Camara's rookie year when I went to Minnesota.
Sam Bradford, chopter soun, are.
Speaker 2: You got to You gotta tell me how this happened,
why it happened, Why you're choosing to go to Clemson,
South Carolina. Like, what's the plan going to be? Now,
I got to know everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's just one of them situations where like,
we need to win this game so bad that I
need to be that is that's you know what I'm saying.
And I just I don't see us losing, right I
just feel it right now. I just don't see us losing,
and I want to be that for that, you know
what I'm saying. Yep, I think that's really what it's about.
I don't know much about what side and South Carolina.
I know they have a couple of mountains, maybe a
nice lake, but none of that's gonna matter if I shoot,
don't win, But I'll sump in a nice lake if
ILLA shoot win.
Speaker 2: Okay, I do have a couple of us, you know,
not not red beans and rice. I mean, why in
the world would you try that in Clemson, South Carolina.
But I do have a couple of food spots that
people that went to Clemson told me I have to try,
and so if I get there in time, we need
to find a way to break bread at one of
these spots.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do it, man, Like I said, I don't
know a lot about it, but I mean it's got
to be beautiful, you know.
Speaker 2: You driving or flying, because I know, I know you're
not the biggest fan of airplanes.
Speaker 3: Dude, I'm driving, man, eight hour drives not that bad.
And then eventually, hopefully a by the nd, I'm gonna
go to Chicago and I'm gonna drive to that too.
That's a thirteen hour.
Speaker 2: Drive to Chicago. What are you doing in Chicago just
to go hang out with Bob?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, And just like I've been putting that off
for a while now, probably about two years, you know,
I know, about two years. I don't know if the
office still stands, but about two years ago Yak had
invited me to come up there, so I still got
to do that. I'm gonna go on the largest podcast,
you know, and there's a few people that I've become
friends with just on you know, Twitter and stuff that
I want to go out there and see.
Speaker 2: I bet, yeah, I bet you and t Bob can
do some damage up in Chicago. Although like he held
it down the other day and that that challenge he had,
I mean, my man took down like ten Glizzies and
eleven beers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw that that's the type, you know, and
that's the thing, Like what is that thing that they
do in the yak like the competition where you got
to like complete in a certain amount of time and
stuff like that, Like that's type of stuff I want.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if there's anything t Bob liked, it's
g Lizzies and beers. So he held it down and
I got faith that you could do it as well. Uh. Also,
real quick about the LSU trip, I'm going to assume
that you know, if you were choosing a road trip
this year, probably going to sit out a Saints road
game this year and trus ellis year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just so tough because of the call in show.
And it's not like I can like relocate with it
because it's a landline phone number. You can't. You got
to be out of fun.
Speaker 2: You're the one guy. Hey, who's that through? I got it?
Who's that through? Who's the phone line through? What company?
Speaker 3: We're not going to say the name, but you know
what company is through. It's the only thing that I
got left through down. You know, it's a good deal, man,
fifty dollars a month. It's very well worth it.
Speaker 2: Okay, or is that bundled with the Internet.
Speaker 3: No, we got rid of the internet. Dude. That's the
only thing I got from those guys. Okay, okay, okay,
all right, can't recommend it enough, man, never had a problem.
Speaker 2: That's right. Yeah, that's what I got in my office
for my afternoon show. So well done there, all right.
I figured that was going to be the case, and
like we all have to be there for the call
in show, so yeah, we don't need you going out
of town. So we miss that because I got a feeling, unfortunately,
you're gonna get some great calls due.
Speaker 3: It's about the heat off this Sunday, I mean, charges preseason.
It's gonna be It is gonna be hot. Man.
Speaker 2: Oh man, I can't wait. I cannot wait to see
the meltdown of whatever happens. So where are you at
right now with the Saints in the quarterback situation? We
talked about it right before you kind of hopped on.
I know Tyler Shuck had a couple of three four
day practices in a row where he maybe gained some ground,
but I'm still in the full belief that it's going
to be Spencer Rattler. The practice I went to. I
thought he was by far the most efficient, kind of
the one with the most juice. Where you at right now,
dev You.
Speaker 3: Know, dude, don't have like a lot of sources and
something like that. But the few sources that I do
have that watch the Saints every day at training camp,
you know, one of them said, man, this might be
the worst team in the NFL this season. And then look,
and this is all before ball is played, right before
regular season. But I mean it's kind of like the
same routine. It's almost like the Truman Show, right, We're
hearing the same names. Like, man, let me just tell you,
if there was a Hall of Fame for training camp players,
Mason tipped In would.
Speaker 2: Be in it every time.
Speaker 3: Every time this they only tell us about this. I mean,
he is just all over the news all the time.
It's like do or die for Mason tipped In this year.
I'd love to see him succeed. I mean, don't ask
me what I think the chances are, but I'd love
to see him succeed.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: Other than that, you know, I think it's gonna be ratla, dude,
I really do. I think before training camp started, everybody
wanted to crown Shuck because he ate someone, you know,
and now we're saying that it's probably gonna be Spencer
Island at least the first few games, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I know that you took him fortieth overall
and he's got some some the whole thing's guaranteed, and
it's like eleven million dollars, but man, the saint's got
to play the guy that goes and wins the job.
Like in the scheme of things, like, I know, eleven millions,
eleven million, but it's also over you know, multiple years.
So we're talking four years eleven million, and that's honestly,
that's what a prime backup quarterback would get. And so
you can't my deals, Like you can't allow that to
make the decision for you, right, And just because you
draft a guy fortieth overall, I mean the time Flynn
got drafted, he was a seventh round pick. They drafted
Brian Brohm in the second round. Yeah, and Flynn beat
him out in training camp. Even as a second round pick.
He wasn't on the team the next year. I'm not
saying it's going to be Tyler Shuck's future, but I
always credit the Packers for allowing the best player to
win the backup job and not just where you were drafted,
So like the Saints, and it does feel like talking
with Killimore last week, that's kind of where they're at,
Like they don't really care how they got there. They're
just going to pick the best guy. And I do
think right now that Spencer gives you the best opportunity
to start the season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that'd be a great sign of
the future to come, because you got to get the
feelings out of it. You got to take the feelings
out of it. You know. It's like right now, they
got the three quarterback race right now, Like is this
a three quarterback race? You know, why are we even
saying that? I think it just comes down to Shuck
or Rattler, And it's looking like Ratler is going to
be the guy come Game one, just and honestly, just
because of that year of experience, even though you know,
he played with nothing and you know he didn't look like,
you know, life changing last year, but he still has
that year of experience, and I think that's really what's winning.
I think Spencer was locked in the whole offseason too.
That's another thing. I think he's probably going to bed
at nine o'clock every night, you know, really locked in.
So like what he had to do to become the
next Saints.
Speaker 2: Quarterback, any other kind of position battles or storylines that
you're following with the Saints. Because the thing that I
talked about last week coming back from practice was the
look the first twenty two you got some dudes in there, Like,
you got some guys that you can be excited about watching.
But the problem is, Devin, if somebody gets hurt, we
always talk about it. Here comes Uber Driver number one,
number two, number three. Like the depth on this team
is a real issue. But I mean there's still some
players out there with the initial starting unit they can
get behind.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, like the most exciting dude right now,
it's got to be Stutsman. Man. I keep talking about
this guy and so does everybody else, Like, gotta be Stuftsman.
He just looks like he's ready, like this season, ready
to make a difference. And even the kid that they
drafted out of Louisville, the Quincy Riley kid, that's another
guy that look. Because when you look at the Saints corners, like, yeah,
Kool AIGs had a great camp, right obviously Alante Taylor,
but when it gets to that third corner, it's like, oh, man,
what's gonna happen here? Like, really gonna start? What's his name?
How you say it again?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 3: Got him? Got him, guide him.
Speaker 2: That's everything you need to know.
Speaker 3: Right right, So you you you want Quincy Riley to
be to be without it man. So and he looks
like he is. Man, it looks like he's one of
those guys who can get turnovers, which you love to
see it, you know, as receiver goes. Man, it's just
so tough, dude, because like, all right, Cedric Wilson, that's
another guy they love talking about in training camp. Cedric Wilson,
great guy, great teammate, blah blah blah blah blah. Can't
find him with a search. Warran during the regular season,
you know, just doesn't really catch balls and make plays.
So yeah, like if Olave or Shahi gets hurt and
you left with I mean this sounds horrible, man. You
left with Cooks, Cedric Wilson and Tipton and up means
you know that I just don't see how you're gonna
win games with that, especially with young quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: All Right, dev let's stop talking about some depressing stuff
and actually, you know, figure out where you're going to
head today. Do we have any plans? We have a
general area of where we're going to go?
Speaker 3: Man, No, I don't. I gotta be honest with you, dude.
You know, I just don't. But I know as soon
as I get off the phone, I'm gonna figure it
out and I'm gonna make it worth everybody's while. Man,
We're gonna find a good spot today for sure?
Speaker 2: Is it? I mean, is it? We're gonna start driving
in a direction until we like maybe find an idea.
Are we going to get a plan? Like before we
get in the car, like, what's the process today?
Speaker 3: That's how I went to the Zoo one day, which is,
in my opinion, one of my favorite episodes.
Speaker 2: The Aquarium might be my favorite, by the way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I was about to go to the West
Bank and then I was looking on the internet, like
you know, as I'm driving, I'm kind of like looking
what's around and I'm because I didn't really want to
go to West Bank. I really did in that day.
But before I get on the bridge, I'm like, oh wait,
the zoo, dude, Like I know, that the zoo has
to have something over that. You know that I can
that I can do, and man with an episode that
was it was truly so much fun. Man, the Roman
candy Man was closed down that day. I remember being
pissed about that. Yeah, but yeah, well we'll definitely figure
it out. All right.
Speaker 2: There, he is our guy, Devin Snow aka Hold the Mayo,
and we are going to make sure that we find
a way to get some grub in Clemson, South Carolina.
Looking forward to that. Dev will catch up again with
you next Monday.
Speaker 3: My man, all right, I'll take you care. I appreciate it, all.
Speaker 2: Right there, he is our guy, Hold the Mayo. I
love that. And that's not a bit like he has
no idea where he's going to go for Mondays. He
just like kind of gets in this car sometimes and
it takes him to the zoo. The aquarium I think
was the best one that I've seen like it. It
had me rolling. And so tune in to Devin snow
At Snow like John on Twitter and social media to
see where Dev ends up. All right, we will step away.
More OTB though coming your way when we come back
on one oh four to five ESPN venders off the bench,
all right, do sekis go for dose?
Speaker 9: Perfect time tailgating season is upon us, like we are
here in the month of August, and so when you're
out there, when you're setting up the perfect tailgate, always
go for dose because we tell you every single day
and it is factual, there's never a bad time to
go for dose.
Speaker 2: So it's always been in the summertime. The lake beer,
the river beer, the beach beer, ballpark beer, which we
don't talk about it now, that's always elites travel season,
right if you're going to these games, it's an airport beer.
Like we better get a picture of our guy Matthew
Clayton Flynn going for dose in an airport today or
it'll be a disappointing trip. And so right now, go ahead,
set that tailgate up. Go get all the ice cold
dose seies, have them ready to go for your tailgate
because as we said, there was never a bad time
to go for dose. Drink responsibly and go for dose.

Haven't heard how the meeting went yet, so we got
the fingers crawl. Hopefully he wasn't in a card break
and miss the key points he flew last night. I
saw him on Saturday. We went to practice together, as
I talked about and I was like, hey, like, what's
your schedule, Like when you're leaving? He goes, I don't know.
I was like, well, when you got to be there?
He's like, you know, Monday morning. I was like, when

tickete yet?
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, I mean you got He's going to Virginia.
Speaker 5: So he got there.
Speaker 2: He got there because he did his He threw a
yo out there in the beginning. It's probably ear hustling
to make sure we didn't talk too bad about him.
We just said the tripod leg fell off, the new
shiny toy. We had to go get the old, reliable one. Yeah, faithful,
It's okay.
Speaker 6: No, I'm excited for him.
Speaker 2: I am too. That's a big one for my high school.
See if he's able to get it done there. Tte,
you'll know this preseason football this week, like everybody's everybody's.
Speaker 5: So last Thursday, like they got they got a Thursday
with two.
Speaker 8: Last Thursday, they made a final Thursday with like with
football till February.
Speaker 2: Till February, all right, and get behind that. Who the
Cowboys play?
Speaker 8: Man, I don't even know the I don't know the
color schedule. If I told you, i'd be, I'd be
I'd be lying or just making something up. I'm kind
of kind of out on them right now. Jake, you
have to do a little You may have to do
a little Bachelor and give my final rose to somebody else.
Speaker 2: Man, I don't know you did. I mean, you made
him a loser. And they have been one for a
long time. So I do know. The Saints and the
Chargers play each other. So they leave Wednesday, gonna be
watching that they do. They leave Wednesday, and they gotta
have some clarity on this quarterback situation before they go
out West. They have to they it's got to be like,
all right, here's our two guys. It's A and B right,
like if they still have three quarterbacks in this game.
I know it's the first preseason game, but I told
you all this. So I was doing that show last
week with Bruce Murray, who's worked for NFL radio since
two thousand and six or twenty years. Basically, I was like,
if you ever had three quarterbacks, come and sit down
on a training camp tour. He said no, he said
I've had two a couple of times. He said, I've
never had three. It's just not normal, not in the NFL.
It's not And I know some other teams this year
are going through that, like Cleveland, But do you really
want to have your quarterback competition be compared to the
team that has the famous jersey of all the last
names listed from top to bottom, which.
Speaker 8: Are they're officially out of room one by the way, No,
I mean to your point, like the Giants, Jamis is
a former number one overall pick.
Speaker 5: He was a starter multiple years in this league.
Speaker 8: Did you have Wilson then you invest a first round
pick into Jackson Dart that should have been a more
hotly contested quarterback battle to what you have in New Orleans.
They've already named their starter now, right or wrong, it's
Russell Wilson going to be the start in Week ten,
doesn't matter. You at least have your guy right now.
And I understand that it is a preseason game. Tell
you that we're going to see where these the Saints
are right now, because that Chargers defense looked really, really
good on Thursday night. Now I understand they're playing the
Lions backups. I get all that, but Shuck and Rattler,
they're gonna be under that's a good team. Yeah, this
is a great first game in my opinion for this.
Speaker 2: I mean, if I'm not mistaken, they led the NFL
in points per game a year ago, and they got
even better in the off season with some of the
moves they made. So and Jim Harball is going to
play some of his guys. He didn't play all of them,
but like Hampton played the other night, and that was
a Hall of Fame game. So you're gonna see some
of those guys that are going to be starters on
that defense at least for a series or two. So
it's actually a really good test for the Saints quarterbacks.
So looking forward to kind of breaking down that and
here's to hoping, here's to hoping that we have some
clarity on the situation. Elandra, will you watch a second
of preseason football.
Speaker 4: Probably not to be completely honest with you, but my
completely fair I So, I mean, how many people really
I get that there's sickos out there, but like, yeah,
I can't imagine that the viewership is too.
Speaker 2: Hard to even know. It's hard to even know now.
Like used to, there was like a formula of the
first game, starters played one series. In the second game,
they played three or four series. In the third game
we played a full half. Yea, we would go all
the way to halftime, and the fourth game we would
dress up and that was about it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe the guys that were fringe roster not But now.
Speaker 2: Like I don't even really know how everyone handles it,
because everybody does it kind of differently. And it kind
of started at the end of my career, Like we
played against the Vikings one year in the preseason and
they decided to flip games, like they went second game
started till halftime and we did not. Yeah, but it
was one of those years. And I told you all
the time, like we're full back, Like I was kind
of the only guy on the roster, so I was
gonna have to go in there. And we had the
bomb squad going against like Jerry Allen, who just got
inducted into the Hall of Fame had Greenway linebacker. It
was like Charlie Whitehurst would get to snap and have
about one thousand and one before we had like six
guys in the backfield. It was horrible, like there was
nothing that we were going to gain from that tape.
And I feel like that's kind of how it is now,
like we really don't have a formula of how everybody
kind of follows the preseason and give us an idea there.
Speaker 4: So my thing about the quarterback competition though, in terms
of the Saints is that no separation between Spencer Rattler
and Tyler Shuck is kind of like I think that's okay,
And I mean, obviously you want one to be standing
out over the other, but like, if it's going to
be a true competition, I'm kind of okay with like
Shuck being.
Speaker 6: Like neck and neck with.
Speaker 4: Spencer, but I kind of feel like it's Spencer's job
to lose at this point. But what I don't and
like Flynn kind of explained it in a good way
last week, and I understand what he's saying, but I
don't love that Hay is out there also taking reps
because if it's like a true three way battle and
Hater is in them, is in the conversation, Like, I
just don't know how I feel about that, but I
do think that you have to have at least you're
one and two figured out heading to Los Angeles.
Speaker 6: Are they playing in Los Angeles or is it.
Speaker 5: Okay, it's Vanilla.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just don't know if they do camp somewhere
else and they were gonna go there or not.
Speaker 2: But no, that they do it. They built a brand
new stay of the art facility. Yes, the Bush League
Bolts built a brand new stay of the art facility.
So they stay right there and it's gonna be a
good test. It will be a good test for the Saints.
And normally I'm with you all in the preseason. This
one's more intriguing because of the quarterback battle. Yeah, because
of all the unknowns on this Saint.
Speaker 7: Steam always the Chargers that they play in the preseason.
Speaker 8: It last over the last years, Well they've done. They've
done the joint president.
Speaker 2: I mean me and the boys went to a Saints
Charges preseason game like three years ago. Yes, so it's
been at least three years in a row they've played
the Chargers. So all right, we'll take a break, our
last break of the show, and wrap it up like
we do every single day, getting to your questions. So
we'll get to ask the bench to close it out
today here on OTB dofter bench. All right, go to
trash rangers dot com. Trash rangers dot com is the website.
And remember they have so many options for you when
it comes to those roll off dumpsters. So, Hey, I've
got a project going on at my home at my business,
and I'm not sure what sized dumpster I need. Just
call them, talk with them, have that conversation with him,
because they're gonna make sure you have the right one
on your project. Tell the story all the time. T
Bob needed one when he was moving to Chicago. He
needed to clean out a bunch of stuff at his house.
He was on the phone with trash Rangers here in
studio downtown Baton Rouge, telling them kind of, you know,
the amount of stuff he was looking forward, you know,
to getting rid of. And we had a event we
were doing at Tiger Stadium. By the time he got
to Tiger Stadium, so downtown to LSU campus, they had
already not only called and set everything up, they were
on their way with the dumpster that he needed. That's
what kind of service you get with trash Rangers. So
go to the website today that is trash rangers dot Com.
Speaker 1: From players to legends, Hester and Flynn breakdown LSU football
like only champions can.
Speaker 5: I don't know the dogs.
Speaker 2: Bond z All right, welcome back again, O. TB. One
final segment here a little ask the bench. Let me
see here, Uh, let's see, ask the bench. What does O.
TB hate the Rugaroo? Is it because T Bob board
the mascot? Haead? I don't hate the rugaroo. I love Jumbo.
It's not really jumbo anymore. Guy looks great. Ronnie ran
shout out to our guy. I know they had some
like some big games over the weekend. I think they
one said big games. Always gonna root for for our guy.
But you know, also there's a lot of things going
on right now, a lot of pigskin talk going on
right now, and so shout out to the rubrou shout out.
Let's see all right, ask the bench, heester, if you
took a handoff and had to run straight with no
own line, how many fourth graders do you think it
would take to tackle you today? Arian Foster said five
to seven to get him down. We're talking full pads,
no offensive line. Fourth graders. I've got a third grader
in a sixth grader. I'm trying to think like fourth grade.
That's like ten, man, I don't know, Like I am
trucking some fools before they get to me, like, and
that stiff arm is going to be nasty. Yeah. Like
what I'm going to do is I'm gonna get the
ball and I'm going to press the line and immediately
bounce it out and I'm gonna outrun every single one
of them. And after I start to outrun them, even
when I get tired and the ones start to catch me,
I've got leverage cuz they're on the inside coming to me, right,
And so I'm just gonna stiff arm everything.
Speaker 5: About to say that that that stiff arms working overtime
for you.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I say, I say ten ten, ten
fourth graders. Eventually they're just gonna.
Speaker 8: Like, oh, it's not got one, yeah, shout out the
area and being a little modest though with.
Speaker 2: Something like ten ten.
Speaker 8: Soft tissue tar going on in the in the questions here, Yeah,
most common soft tissue inergy and injury for radio people.
Speaker 5: Something yeah, something like that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Bonner tissue though.
Speaker 8: That's the thing I don't know. I don't know, I
don't know. Something in the wrist, in hands you go
with that.
Speaker 2: We all know Jake is too gritty to be pretty,
But is he too gritty to gritty?
Speaker 6: Have you hit the gritty?
Speaker 2: But I do that for sure, no doubt.
Speaker 6: I mean that video of you and Katie dancing like
obviously you can hit the Yeah.
Speaker 8: Also Jacob Boys and the oldest is like sixteen, he
sees the gritty quite a bit. I would imagine I
saw the gritty for a lot.
Speaker 2: Actually, in Harlowe's birth announcement, Memphis did the gritty across
the LSU locker room as he was going by, like
all the jerseys that everybody was doing. So, yeah, I
can definitely do that, not like Musso, though Musso's got it.
Speaker 6: He's got the best gritty, let's see.
Speaker 2: Uh anybody seem the New Fantastic four yet? I saw
it yesterday was really good? Yeah, I saw it is good.
One bad.
Speaker 6: I haven't seen it bad.
Speaker 2: It was good. It was entertaining for sure. Uh. Yeah,
I would Scott destroy fourth graders and that look if
you put on pads and you get in front of
me like all games game, let's go.
Speaker 6: All right, one for letting kids win.
Speaker 2: No no, no, no no, they got to get taught
this lesson like Mike alstot on a four down conversion.
If they got in front of me. It is what
it is life about, choices and decisions. Off the bench,
all right, Go to Budros Electrical dot com. That Gulf
