6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:17,760
T Bob Abart.

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,359
Speaker 3: All right, Welcome into the final hour of a Monday

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,239
edition Off Off the Bench. It has been a fun

9
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,320
show so far. We got Matthew Musso in the audio chair,

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,920
Cassie on video, and guys for AFR. Musso is gonna

11
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,759
be sitting in the big boy chair. I'm gonna be

12
00:00:36,799 --> 00:00:40,159
on the audio board, and Cassie once again on video.

13
00:00:40,359 --> 00:00:43,439
So it is a long day for all three of us,

14
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,840
but silver lining at least for me. I'm the only

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,320
one of the three not working tomorrow on New Year's Eve,

16
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:51,079
so I guess uh, I'm the big winner there.

17
00:00:51,759 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 4: I've also been up since three am.

18
00:00:53,359 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 3: Musso has been up since three am. We're not entirely sure.

19
00:00:56,399 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 4: Why have you been up since three I woke up

20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,119
and couldn't go back to sleep.

21
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 3: You're just so excited to get here yours. I can't.

22
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:04,920
I can't take it. I gotta go now.

23
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 4: That wasn't it?

24
00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 2: I just you know, I overthink things a lot, so

25
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:11,079
you so you do have a lot of a lot

26
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:12,280
going on today.

27
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 3: Like not only like okay, like we're all doing you know,

28
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,439
multiple shows. We've all three of us have been doing

29
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:18,879
it the past week and a half. You have a

30
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,280
lot of tedious things that are to do behind the scenes. No,

31
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,040
like you have to so like Kid's been out, You've

32
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,480
been handling the uspon log. I've been handling the talk

33
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,840
log like I gotta make the video logs. But you

34
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,359
got to put together the entire pregame all though pretty

35
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:32,640
much all the interviews and all that.

36
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,079
Speaker 2: We added a we added an hour on the front,

37
00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:37,879
so had to redo a run because a new rundown.

38
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,200
We're not doing post game right, No, there's no postgame,

39
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,200
so so it's a four hour pre game. That's actually

40
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,599
a good thing to talk about. There is no post game.

41
00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:47,439
Eagan ninety eight point one Game Day pre game is

42
00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:51,319
h eight thirty to twelve thirty Tuesday tomorrow for the

43
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:53,959
Texas Bowl. There is no post game. There will be

44
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,920
the LSU Network post game and there will be whiskey

45
00:01:56,959 --> 00:01:59,560
and wine. There just will not be EGO ninety eight

46
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,920
point one Game Day postgame with Handy and Dixon.

47
00:02:01,959 --> 00:02:04,719
Speaker 3: Do you think Matt did that intentionally to give you

48
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:05,239
more work?

49
00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 4: No? I did not.

50
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,879
Speaker 2: I don't think that's why I did it. It just

51
00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:10,919
it just ended up happening that way.

52
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 4: But you know we'll make it through.

53
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:17,039
Speaker 3: Well, winner for me for not having to be here tomorrow,

54
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,599
a loser to Musso and Cassie. And speaking of, let's

55
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:23,439
get this hour started as we do every Monday with

56
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:24,560
some weekend winners.

57
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 5: That's how win it has done. That's right.

58
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: We can't have anyone freak out out there.

59
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 6: Okay, he's got a k bark apologer.

60
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: Got too far.

61
00:02:35,439 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 4: I'm by winning. I went here and I win there.

62
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,319
Speaker 7: Now, what are you doing what it takes to win

63
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,280
a championship?

64
00:02:43,479 --> 00:02:46,879
Speaker 4: Wow? Winning? Well, then I guess there's only one thing

65
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:47,319
left to do.

66
00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:49,879
Speaker 3: What's that.

67
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 5: Win the whole thing?

68
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,159
Speaker 3: All right, weekend winners, I'll get us started. So I

69
00:02:59,199 --> 00:03:01,319
sent the show dot Olta, Musso and Cassie and I

70
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,599
was like, hey, do you guys have any idea why

71
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,520
my first weekend winner is going to be Joe Biden

72
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,120
and Shane Gillis. Obviously most of you probably do not

73
00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:13,599
know why Joe Biden and Shane Gillis would be paired

74
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,560
together as weekend winners. Well, everyone knows Antonio Brown. You

75
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,560
either hate to love him or love to hate him,

76
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:22,840
depending on your opinion of him. Antonio Brown gave out

77
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,520
his own award show. He did this on Saturday. He

78
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:30,439
gave out the CT of the Year Award, which our

79
00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:34,960
current president Joe Biden proudly took home that Antonio Brown

80
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,759
gave out. And then Shane Gillis Funniest Cracker of the Year,

81
00:03:37,919 --> 00:03:41,599
So Shane Gillis makes people laugh, and then Joe Biden

82
00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:44,520
gets the CT of the Year award. They're a handful

83
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:46,319
of other guys that want awards, but I wanted to

84
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,879
highlight those two gentlemen for these prestigious honors.

85
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 4: There go ab Man. You know, we all kind of

86
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:54,719
looked at Antonio Brown.

87
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: It's like, this guy's crazy, he needs help, and in

88
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,400
reality he's kind of.

89
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,599
Speaker 4: Just living his best life. It kind of feels like

90
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:07,840
at this point, well, okay, so and we didn't it.

91
00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:11,919
Speaker 3: He is still insane, he still needs help, but he's

92
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,800
making the most of it, right Like he he's a

93
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,639
guy that, like my opinion has kind of teetered back

94
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,439
and forth on like, do I like him doing? I

95
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,040
was a huge Antonio Brown fan. Then the whole Raiders

96
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,680
thing happened, the Patriots all that. Then you know nobody

97
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,759
wanted him. Tom Brady sign gets him signed to the Bucks,

98
00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:29,800
lets him live in his house, and what does he do.

99
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,680
He makes fun of Tom Brady when him and his

100
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,759
wife get divorced. I'm like, dude, the guy took you

101
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,600
in when nobody else wanted you, like you could be

102
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,079
a little bit of grateful. So then I was kind

103
00:04:37,079 --> 00:04:41,759
of like, eh, but guys, Antonio Brown on Twitter, I

104
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,600
read something the other debt. I don't know how true

105
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,160
this is because, as most of you know and pick

106
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:49,600
on before, I am not on Twitter, but I read

107
00:04:49,639 --> 00:04:53,439
the other debt. Antonio Brown is reportedly blocked on Twitter

108
00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:58,279
by Tom Brady, Joe Biden, and Caitlin Clark. That is

109
00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:00,319
a hell of a trio to be blocked by. And

110
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,240
that's kind of how you know you've made it in life.

111
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,639
So I guess Weekend Winner. Also, Antonio Brown, moose what

112
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:06,040
you got?

113
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,519
Speaker 4: I mean, he's really good at Twitter, you know what.

114
00:05:08,519 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: You kind of touched on one that I was gonna

115
00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:12,759
bring up earlier in the show. Clyde Edwards, Z layer Man.

116
00:05:12,959 --> 00:05:15,560
It's a great story. He's been through an awful lot

117
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,519
on the field. Definitely all the feel with the mental

118
00:05:17,519 --> 00:05:20,439
health struggles and the PTSD that he's talked very very

119
00:05:20,439 --> 00:05:23,319
openly about stemming from the incident here. You know, back

120
00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:26,519
when he was at LSU before the Fiesta Bowl to

121
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,759
see him hadn't played all year with the Chiefs. They

122
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,319
took their time, did everything right with him, but ultimately,

123
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,199
you know, needed the roster spot and for him to

124
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,040
land in New Orleans, back home and be able to

125
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,279
make the debut that he had yesterday where he played

126
00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:41,120
really well. I know the Saints didn't get to win,

127
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:42,920
and I mean he wasn't player of the game or anything,

128
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,720
but just ran him to be back out there on

129
00:05:44,759 --> 00:05:47,360
the field after being so open about his struggles and whatnot.

130
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,279
LSU Baton Rouge Louisiana. Guy fired up to see that

131
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,120
for Clyde Man, and I hope it leads to even

132
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,000
bigger and better things for I mean, guys already won

133
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,199
two Super Bowls, but I mean just that was an awesome,

134
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:00,560
awesome thing to see yesterday.

135
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 3: So I guess that's like my next question because you know,

136
00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:04,800
I was talking about earlier when we were kind of

137
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,480
recapping the game. How much run do you give him

138
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:10,040
against the Bucks? I mean, your season's basically over. The

139
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,439
Bucks have a ton to play for if he goes

140
00:06:13,439 --> 00:06:15,079
in there and has a solid game. Moose, do you

141
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,160
bring him back mixture?

142
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:16,519
Speaker 1: I do.

143
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:18,399
Speaker 3: He's a cheap veteran option in front.

144
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:18,519
Speaker 8: Of the year.

145
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 4: You definitely look into it for sure.

146
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: They got some things to go through in that running

147
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,279
back room though, and you have Kendre Miller just signed

148
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:25,759
Alvin Kamaras for an extension.

149
00:06:26,439 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 4: Jamal Williams, I believe is a no. He's got a

150
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,600
year left on his deal too. He's a free agent

151
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:32,079
for Nature, so you have to figure that out.

152
00:06:32,079 --> 00:06:34,519
Speaker 2: But I either way, I hope it leads to something

153
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:35,959
for Clyde Cassie.

154
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,199
Speaker 3: Give us a weekend winter Okay.

155
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 9: So mine's kind of both a winner and a loser.

156
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,040
So you know Hots River Center and they do like

157
00:06:43,079 --> 00:06:44,319
ice skating and stuff.

158
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 3: Ice skating on the river falls every time.

159
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 8: Well, I haven't been ice skating.

160
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 3: Stuff's like you got to hold onto the side rail news.

161
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's free way. I've been begging my boyfriend.

162
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 9: I was like, you have to go ice skating and

163
00:06:54,639 --> 00:06:56,839
he's like, no, I don't want to go, Come on,

164
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,839
we have to go. So we finally bought the ticket.

165
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,639
He's like, let's go inside. Was like, okay, cool, show

166
00:07:01,639 --> 00:07:04,319
out to the River Center. Try to scan our tickets. No,

167
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,279
Pep bought tickets for Sunday, so we didn't end up

168
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,279
going on Saturday, so that was a little loser.

169
00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:12,199
Speaker 8: But we ended up going on Sunday and it was

170
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:12,879
it was all good.

171
00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:16,279
Speaker 3: Did we do? How did the the Jesse and Adam

172
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,720
duo handle the ice gating?

173
00:07:17,959 --> 00:07:22,879
Speaker 8: I did pretty well. H Adam did not do well.

174
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 3: How many falls? How many falls we got?

175
00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 9: I think he only fell like three times, but his

176
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,160
last fall is a pretty big one, went like a

177
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:29,759
full split.

178
00:07:29,839 --> 00:07:30,519
Speaker 8: It was not good.

179
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: How Adam calling calling, calling Adam out on the radio.

180
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,040
You'll love it. My next weekend winter is going to

181
00:07:39,079 --> 00:07:42,360
be the pop Tard Bowl. Yes, the marketing for the

182
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,040
pop tar Ball is phenomenal because, look, let's be honest,

183
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,680
it's a meaningless bowl game. Nobody really cares. But what

184
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,920
do you do when you're a meaningless bowl game? You

185
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,199
make people care in any way you can. I watched

186
00:07:54,199 --> 00:07:56,959
the Pop Tard Bowl. I was thoroughly entertained. It was

187
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,360
more entertaining than any of the first round college football

188
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,279
playoff games. The detail in the pop tart ball so

189
00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:04,439
normally obviously on the football field you got the thick

190
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,720
white lines on the sidelines. How about multi colored sprinkles

191
00:08:08,959 --> 00:08:12,000
for pop tarts all around the sidelines in the hatta

192
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,680
bounds line on the entire field. At the beginning of

193
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,639
the game, they did like a tribute for the strawberry

194
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,040
pop tart that was eaten last year. They pulled up

195
00:08:20,079 --> 00:08:23,920
the screen, they did a tribute to him that his

196
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,600
corpse was in the upper deck watching it. Well, so

197
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,040
that's the thing apples over his corpse walkout. He's like

198
00:08:29,079 --> 00:08:31,519
half eaten. He's got the jelliot. It's ex And then

199
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,919
the halftime show, all the pop tarts are in their rappers,

200
00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:37,440
so you don't know which pop tart is which, And

201
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,080
at the start of the music they each ripped it

202
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,759
off and you got like hot fudge Sunday over here,

203
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:44,639
a wild berry over here, frosty cherry. It was phenomenal.

204
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,320
The wild berry pop tart was messing with the raft

205
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,960
who was in the end zone. One of them ran

206
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,240
out there to watch the coin toss with the players.

207
00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:53,480
I mean the Pop Tart Ball. If you were not

208
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,720
in the College Football Playoff, the Pop Tart Ball has

209
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,480
now become the go to bowl game. So shout out

210
00:08:57,519 --> 00:08:58,720
to them for the incredible marketing.

211
00:08:58,799 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 2: I tweeted at the very beginning in that game, I said,

212
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,759
if you are not sitting down right now to watch

213
00:09:02,759 --> 00:09:05,879
the Pop Tarts Bowl, we cannot be friends. And at

214
00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:07,639
the at the end of the game last year, I

215
00:09:07,639 --> 00:09:10,080
said it, and I'll say again here. Every bowl game

216
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,679
should be the Pop Tarts Bowl. It's just it's incredible theater.

217
00:09:14,039 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 4: Well, and the game was good too.

218
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 3: That's the thing, right, like okay, because it's like, if

219
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,759
you're not in the college Football Playoff, your fans don't

220
00:09:19,799 --> 00:09:22,159
really care about the bowl game, but the Pop Tart

221
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,559
Bowl does so much. The trophy, the trophy is an

222
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,120
actual working pop tart sideline reporter does. It'll cook your

223
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,399
pop tart in about ninety seconds. I mean, every single

224
00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:36,519
detail of the Pop Tart Bowl is top notch. That

225
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,159
marketing team they're going to get a heck of a

226
00:09:38,279 --> 00:09:40,440
raise so next week and want to reach out.

227
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: Shout out to cole Kublic two for dressing up in

228
00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:45,480
the pop tart suit. Having having Cublic, Tom Hart and

229
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:47,919
Jordan Rodgers on the call was next level as well.

230
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 4: They're made for that LSU wide receiver.

231
00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 5: You.

232
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 2: They had a hell of a weekend once again in

233
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,440
the NFL. I mean you now neighbors went over a

234
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,840
thousand yards yesterday. You now have for four former ls

235
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,720
wide receivers over one thousand yards in the NFL. I

236
00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:07,480
mean it's wide receiver. You Why would you go anywhere else?

237
00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:12,000
At this point, the publicity, the positive, you know, spin

238
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,200
that LSU continues to get to the next level in

239
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:14,960
wide receivers.

240
00:10:15,519 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 4: Huge. But it's a credit to those players.

241
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 2: It's a credit to the development at LSGU with Quartes,

242
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,200
Hankton and all those guys. Huge day on a you know,

243
00:10:22,639 --> 00:10:26,320
hel world stage again for LSU in the NFL yesterday

244
00:10:26,639 --> 00:10:27,360
with receivers.

245
00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:29,919
Speaker 3: You know, it's so funny. I'll get a lot of

246
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,799
hate for those because so many LSU answer are so

247
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,440
passionate about it. I never cared about the DBU moniker.

248
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,279
I mean LSU, Florida, Ohio, State, Texas. They all had

249
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,759
their own claim to DBU for one reason or another.

250
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,600
I always thought it was wide receiver. You I mean,

251
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,559
I know LSU like they take the DBU things seriously,

252
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,519
and obviously you should. But I mean, if you look

253
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,320
at schools as far as elite programs in the NFL,

254
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:53,200
there ain't a school that can touch LSU right now.

255
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,919
And that's just the four main names. I mean, Terrace

256
00:10:55,919 --> 00:10:58,240
Marshall had a thirty yard catch. Look at the tight ends.

257
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,879
Foster Moro had a thirty yard catch yesterday. I mean,

258
00:11:00,919 --> 00:11:04,279
there are guys all over the place making play after

259
00:11:04,279 --> 00:11:07,120
play that were pass catchers here at LSU. I agree,

260
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,480
I think that is where one of the most underrated

261
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,720
areas for rel issues or as wide receiver. You Moniker, Cassie,

262
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,039
you got another weekend winner or loser.

263
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 8: I don't have any other stories.

264
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,519
Speaker 3: Okay, well I have a weekend loser, and I know

265
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,879
everybody wants me to go with the Colorado Buffaloes. That's

266
00:11:22,879 --> 00:11:26,919
an easy one for me. I'm not gonna go Colorado

267
00:11:27,039 --> 00:11:30,720
because whatever that bowl game could win either way. I mean,

268
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,519
b why you blew the doors off of them? But whatever,

269
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,960
my weekend loser is going to be Shad or Sanders. However,

270
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,399
and not for anything he did on the field. So

271
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,200
the day before the game, Shaudor Sanders was in the

272
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,399
locker room talking about these are my cleats. This is

273
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,679
previewing my future. We already know who we're going to

274
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,759
get drafted, and he had New York Giants color scheme

275
00:11:53,159 --> 00:11:55,399
cleats because at that point in time, New York Giants

276
00:11:55,519 --> 00:11:57,600
looked like they were going to have the number one

277
00:11:57,639 --> 00:11:59,720
pick in the NFL draft. Well, should Or Sanders goes

278
00:11:59,759 --> 00:12:01,799
out there, has a stinker, throws her a hair over

279
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,799
two hundred yards. He had two touchdown, sure, but he

280
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,440
had two critical interceptions. So not only did he not

281
00:12:06,519 --> 00:12:09,279
play like the number one pick. The New York Giants

282
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,919
won yesterday, and they going into yesterday had a sixty

283
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,720
one percent chance to be in the number one pick.

284
00:12:14,759 --> 00:12:17,120
It is plummeted all the way to a two percent

285
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,600
chance to be the number one pick. Don't count your

286
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,639
chickens before they hatch their shoe door. Does not look

287
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,759
like you will be a New York Giant unless you

288
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,360
fall in the draft, which would be a bad thing

289
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:28,360
for you. Anyways, moves, did you see the cleats.

290
00:12:28,759 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 4: I did see the cleats, and I kind of thought

291
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,200
the same thing you did. When the Giants won. I

292
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,679
was like, oh, well, not about that.

293
00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:36,879
Speaker 3: You can't can't do it, man.

294
00:12:36,919 --> 00:12:39,039
Speaker 2: But and again, the Patriots right now say the number

295
00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:41,960
one pick, they don't need a quarterback, So it's true

296
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:42,960
you can trade for it.

297
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 4: He could, you know, they could still get back up there.

298
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 3: I just don't know, man, I don't know. All these

299
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,759
teams keep winning like everybody's own. It's going to be

300
00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:54,360
the It's going to be the Raiders. And then the

301
00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:57,039
report came out that like that's where Dion wanted his

302
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,679
kid to go was the Raiders. They've won two in

303
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,200
a row. They're at like number five or six right now.

304
00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:04,919
The Giants won yesterday. Right now, if the season ended,

305
00:13:04,919 --> 00:13:08,600
it would be the Patriots, followed by the Titans. I

306
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,120
imagine the Titans are going to take a quarterback at two,

307
00:13:11,399 --> 00:13:13,679
and good thing for them. If the Patriots stay where

308
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:14,879
they are, they're going to have the pick of the

309
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,600
litter in terms of which quarterback they want. So Tennessee

310
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,279
Titan is sitting pretty right now, not record wise, but

311
00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:23,240
draft position wise for sure. All right, that's going to

312
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,399
do it for our week in winners. We're going to

313
00:13:25,399 --> 00:13:27,039
take a quick ton out when we get back nine

314
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,679
to fifteen. Every single Monday, we are joined by Devin Snow.

315
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,320
He's gonna hop on with me. We're gonna talk about

316
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,440

Speaker 3: Welcome back in to Off the Bench. Taylor Sharps sitting

346
00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:01,519
in for Jacob Esther and Tim by Baby. Usually I'm

347
00:15:01,559 --> 00:15:03,720
over there on the video board, but uh, our guys

348
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,440
are off doing their own thing today. They will be

349
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,440
back on Thursday. About every Monday. At this time, we

350
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,519
have Devin snow Hold de Mayo hopping on and he

351
00:15:10,559 --> 00:15:12,320
is on with us right now. Dev, what's going.

352
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,879
Speaker 5: On, man, Taylor brother, how you doing?

353
00:15:15,639 --> 00:15:17,279
Speaker 3: I am doing a heck of a lot better than

354
00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:18,360
New Orleans Saints fans.

355
00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 6: Dev?

356
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 3: What the heck is that yesterday?

357
00:15:20,919 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 5: Oh? Man? That's that's just going through the motions, man,

358
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,120
Just one more game. That's that's where Saints fans at. Man,

359
00:15:27,159 --> 00:15:30,039
it's not gonna look any better. It's gonna keep looking worse.

360
00:15:30,159 --> 00:15:32,759
So we just got to get through it and then

361
00:15:32,799 --> 00:15:35,600
we get you know what the good news is, uh,

362
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,720
the just the best thing for Saints fans. It's probably

363
00:15:38,759 --> 00:15:41,639
the best thing since the first two weeks. The Atlanta

364
00:15:41,679 --> 00:15:44,240
Falcons now need to cheer for the Saints to win

365
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,120
next week and to make the playoffs. That's the best

366
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:47,919
news I got for you.

367
00:15:48,159 --> 00:15:50,919
Speaker 3: Well. Also, like, not only do Falcons fans have to

368
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,919
cheer for the Saints, the Saints have a chance to

369
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,360
end the Falcon season. So like the Saints are gonna

370
00:15:55,399 --> 00:15:58,519
win win situation. They can either they can either win

371
00:15:58,559 --> 00:16:00,840
and have Falcons forced to year for him, or they

372
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,519
can end the Falcon season with a Bucks victory. Dev

373
00:16:03,559 --> 00:16:06,120
As far as Saints Raiders go, anything positive you can

374
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,080
take away from a game like.

375
00:16:07,039 --> 00:16:14,519
Speaker 5: This, man, that's that's kind of tough, I guess. I

376
00:16:14,559 --> 00:16:17,200
mean if you look at like who you want to

377
00:16:17,279 --> 00:16:20,159
keep next year, some of these players that you know

378
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,879
that you didn't know if you want to keep monat

379
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,120
or you know, because you can have to make a

380
00:16:23,159 --> 00:16:27,320
lot of moves, right, I think Foster More is a

381
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,679
great keep, you know what I'm saying. This guy obviously

382
00:16:29,799 --> 00:16:33,559
case even when we lose a million games, I think

383
00:16:33,559 --> 00:16:37,360
Brian Breze is somebody that's kind of stood out amongst

384
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,279
you know, all this tragedy this year, Brian Breze has

385
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,200
been good. But no, no, not a lot of takeaways, man.

386
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,360
I mean, I guess the takeaway is we thought we

387
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,200
were bad. Didn't you find out what level of bad

388
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,080
you are when you lose to the Raiders?

389
00:16:52,159 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 3: Dev I I personally thought that it ended uh Monday

390
00:16:56,039 --> 00:16:58,120
in that in that thirty four to nothing loss, But

391
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,840
especially after losing to the Raiders, I think Darren Rizzy's

392
00:17:00,919 --> 00:17:02,720
chances of becoming the permanent head coach I have kind

393
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,599
of dwindled down to next to nothing. What are your

394
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:06,160
thoughts on that? And who do you want the Saints

395
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:06,640
to target?

396
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:08,039
Speaker 1: Uh?

397
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think anybody's gonna be, you know, knocking

398
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,720
the door down to hire Rizzy as a head coach.

399
00:17:12,759 --> 00:17:14,480
I just don't, you know. I just gotta be honest.

400
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,160
It was fun those first couple of weeks, but now

401
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,119
we were back to ground level. I don't know, man.

402
00:17:21,279 --> 00:17:23,119
I even said last year, man, I would have loved

403
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,720
like a Kingsbury type, even though he didn't have that

404
00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:29,960
much success in Arizona. It's still a guy who's young.

405
00:17:30,559 --> 00:17:33,400
You know, the people that the players will believe in him.

406
00:17:33,799 --> 00:17:37,319
He's got a creative offense. I'm not completely sold on

407
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,480
koog Yea, even though we haven't had the right roster.

408
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,599
We had nobody playing, you know what I'm saying, to

409
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,599
really see, but I don't know. I'd like a creative guy. Man.

410
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,599
You can't miss on the next head coach of this thing.

411
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,039
It's like the most important thing, uh, that they're gonna

412
00:17:52,039 --> 00:17:54,400
have to do is get it right on the head coach.

413
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 3: Well as far as it goes right, Like, yeah, you're

414
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,559
obviously bringing in a head coach, but you're going to

415
00:17:59,599 --> 00:18:03,279
have Derek car under contract. You you think next year

416
00:18:03,319 --> 00:18:04,799
he's going to be on this team. But what have

417
00:18:04,799 --> 00:18:06,599
you seen from Spencer Rauder that year? Because there's been

418
00:18:06,599 --> 00:18:09,680
some good and bad. But like, obviously he has nobody

419
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,480
around him, so it's really kind of hard to judge him.

420
00:18:12,279 --> 00:18:14,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, he looks better than the last fifth

421
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,440
round pick we tried what we had to play, which

422
00:18:17,519 --> 00:18:21,680
was Ian Book. I mean, look, this guy is throwing

423
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,160
the uber drops. You know what I'm saying, It's not

424
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,759
nothing is perfect around him. He's playing in straight poverty,

425
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,480
so it's hard for anythink to really stand out on

426
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,759
this on this roster, it really is. So I don't know,

427
00:18:36,799 --> 00:18:39,680
I don't feel like he's the future, but I definitely

428
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,440
don't feel like we need to release him once the

429
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,519
season's over. You know, I think that he's deserved another

430
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,599
opportunity at least next year, and even if it's not

431
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,759
in the start. I mean, he's definitely good enough to

432
00:18:50,799 --> 00:18:53,839
be in the league. He's just going with he can

433
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,400
with such a poverty.

434
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 3: Team dev moving from one New Orleans team that's terrible

435
00:18:59,519 --> 00:19:02,880
to the other. The Pelicans absolutely stink there five and

436
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,079
twenty seven. Is it time to just tear it down

437
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,160
and rebuild the entire thing?

438
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 5: Absolutely? More so with that it's crazy to say this,

439
00:19:10,839 --> 00:19:13,319
but more so with the Pelicans. I mean, you got

440
00:19:13,319 --> 00:19:16,440
to tear down the sinks, but you really you got

441
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,519
to get rid of all these dudes on the Pelicans.

442
00:19:18,559 --> 00:19:20,920
And I think it comes down also to the front office.

443
00:19:21,759 --> 00:19:27,279
I think we have a very soft cloud over the Pelicans.

444
00:19:27,319 --> 00:19:30,279
You know, this is a result of giving contracts to

445
00:19:30,319 --> 00:19:33,359
people because they were good people, or because you like them,

446
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:35,839
or you know what I'm saying, And we got to

447
00:19:35,839 --> 00:19:38,319
get out of that. That's that's not what we need.

448
00:19:38,319 --> 00:19:40,359
To do and it's gotten us nowhere. And that's why

449
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,960
Deppels are what twenty one games under five hundred is

450
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:50,240
just absolutely unacceptable. Desigon thing has way past. It's just

451
00:19:50,319 --> 00:19:53,440
run its course. And then some of these other guys

452
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,960
that they've given a bunch of money, they can't stay

453
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,480
on the court. And when they are on the court,

454
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,640
we're not winning. So yeah, it's that the time. And

455
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,000
I think from the tops of the bottom.

456
00:20:03,319 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: Speaking of Zion, let's stick there real quick. Look when

457
00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:08,880
you look at the Saints throughout their history, the Pelicans,

458
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,240
like there have been some draft misses. Obviously, Zion's great

459
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,039
when he's on the court. When he's on the court, like,

460
00:20:14,039 --> 00:20:16,359
where do you rank Zion in terms of like biggest

461
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:17,839
disappointment in New Orleans sports?

462
00:20:22,599 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 5: Look, dude, when he's on the court, he's awesome. Yeah,

463
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,599
and that's why everybody's so pissed off, because when he's

464
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,599
on the court, he's definitely that generational talent. But man,

465
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,599
now it's recent points why he's been off the court

466
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,680
for so long. It's I was like, he's used to it,

467
00:20:37,279 --> 00:20:40,000
you know, it's comfortable. It's easy to say to be like,

468
00:20:40,039 --> 00:20:42,440
all right, yeah, I'm just gonna go sit out again.

469
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,160
You know it's it's it's bad, man. I can't think

470
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,559
of another. I mean, think about Zion Williamson was the

471
00:20:49,599 --> 00:20:53,519
most touted dude to come out the draft.

472
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,039
Speaker 3: Well, I mean dude really since he was in high school, right,

473
00:20:56,079 --> 00:20:58,000
I mean, people knew about him because of his highlight

474
00:20:58,079 --> 00:21:01,880
dunks and then it was the Koshewsky where he signed Camraddish,

475
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,039
RJ Barrett, Zion and they're like, oh they signed one,

476
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,759
two and three in the country. I mean, it seemed

477
00:21:05,799 --> 00:21:07,480
like from the time he was sixteen he was destined

478
00:21:07,519 --> 00:21:08,559
to be this guy, and he's just not.

479
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's not. And remember we were able to say,

480
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,960
hey he's young, Hey he's young. Hey he's young. How

481
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:14,880
old is Zion now?

482
00:21:15,319 --> 00:21:15,519
Speaker 8: Oh?

483
00:21:15,559 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 3: I mean what he's got to be twenty six?

484
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 5: I mean like you know what I'm saying, like how much?

485
00:21:21,599 --> 00:21:23,759
How much longer can we we wait on this man?

486
00:21:23,799 --> 00:21:25,960
It's definitely holding this back. Every time I see a

487
00:21:26,039 --> 00:21:29,160
Pelican's recap, they're like, oh, well, this person went for

488
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,480
thirty five. Trey Murphy went for thirty five, but the

489
00:21:31,519 --> 00:21:33,799
pel still wind up losing. Well, you ain't got to

490
00:21:33,839 --> 00:21:37,440
call up inspect the gadget to figure out why they

491
00:21:37,799 --> 00:21:40,759
missed in that generational talent. It's that simple.

492
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 3: So he's I just looked it up. He's actually uh,

493
00:21:44,519 --> 00:21:46,720
he's actually twenty four or not twenty six. But still,

494
00:21:46,759 --> 00:21:48,240
I mean to your point, he's been in the league

495
00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:51,119
five or six years now, like it's it's time to

496
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,119
grow up a little bit, Zion. Look as far as

497
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,319
the Pelicans go the rest of their roster, did y'all

498
00:21:55,319 --> 00:21:56,960
think Murray's been out there a little bit? I mean,

499
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,759
what have you seen from him since he returned from injury.

500
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 5: I mean I think because he's look, I think that

501
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,119
that's the guy obviously that you would keep. And you've

502
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,799
seen him play in Atlanta. And it's not like Atlanta

503
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,880
was as bad as the Power. I mean, they make

504
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,519
the playoffs. I'm not saying that they like a top contender,

505
00:22:13,599 --> 00:22:16,240
but they were making the playoffs when they had Dejohntay Murray.

506
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,599
So I don't know, Man, you gotta get you got

507
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,559
to get rid of this, Like you said, man, five

508
00:22:21,559 --> 00:22:23,319
to six years. I mean, we're going on four years

509
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,720
away from a decade that we've had tie on and

510
00:22:25,799 --> 00:22:31,200
it's just not working out. Bro. So, dude, major changes, man,

511
00:22:31,319 --> 00:22:35,799
major changes with the Pals and the Saints. It's definitely time. Uh,

512
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,880
especially the Pals. Man, Like, they're gonna wind up getting

513
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,680
to the points where I don't know how they're gonna

514
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:42,920
have enough money to keep the team there.

515
00:22:43,759 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 4: How much of this.

516
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 3: Do you put on Gail though? You know, I mean

517
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,279
Gail Benson. She you know a lot of people have

518
00:22:48,319 --> 00:22:49,960
certain opinions of it, but I mean it seems like,

519
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,799
you know, David Griffin takes a lot of the blame,

520
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,119
limits takes a lot of blame. How much do you

521
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,279
just put put on Gail Bentson?

522
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,599
Speaker 5: Money can buy the right people. So she's got the money,

523
00:22:58,799 --> 00:23:01,240
she could buy the right people. They decide to stick

524
00:23:01,279 --> 00:23:03,920
with the same people. It's the same people, man, It's

525
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,960
the same people, man, David Griffin, Nikki Loomis, you know

526
00:23:08,079 --> 00:23:12,359
these guys are not succeeding right now. And how long

527
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,559
do you want to watch dudes not succeed? I mean,

528
00:23:15,559 --> 00:23:17,680
this is this is two teams, that's all we got.

529
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,400
Damn here, somebody's got to make.

530
00:23:20,319 --> 00:23:24,319
Speaker 3: A move, man, dev Speaking of people making moves, did

531
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:29,440
you see Antonio Brown's first annual award show this weekend? Man,

532
00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:31,119
what do you what are you making of that? This

533
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,680
is a guy that's like even more relevant now than

534
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,279
than when he played. You know, and everybody had a

535
00:23:35,279 --> 00:23:38,039
certain opinion of him, like either either hated to love

536
00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:40,119
the guy or you love to hated the guy. What

537
00:23:40,759 --> 00:23:42,759
have you made of this Antonio Brown for surgeons? I

538
00:23:42,759 --> 00:23:45,000
mean he is just in the spotlight all the time.

539
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he just made that move. I mean we

540
00:23:48,759 --> 00:23:52,000
got it. I know, we say Antonio Brown's got CTE

541
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,240
blah blah blah blah blah. Man still made a smart move.

542
00:23:55,759 --> 00:23:57,960
You know, with the transition with the with the Twitter,

543
00:23:58,599 --> 00:24:01,400
he knew exactly what markt he was gonna tap into.

544
00:24:02,799 --> 00:24:05,599
I mean, who has high engaged with then Antonio. I

545
00:24:05,599 --> 00:24:07,680
mean he's got to be up there with one of

546
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,319
the most engaged accounts on Twitter. Now, I will say this,

547
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,480
I watched the Awards and you could just tell what

548
00:24:14,599 --> 00:24:17,400
he's talking. Bro, It's not you know, he's not all

549
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:17,799
the way.

550
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,759
Speaker 3: That Oh well no, no, I definitely not. But like

551
00:24:19,799 --> 00:24:22,559
look to his credit there, like he was well prepared.

552
00:24:22,599 --> 00:24:24,920
He had Shane Gillis on video call when he gave

553
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,079
him like funniest Cracker of the Year or whatever it was.

554
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,519
I mean like he was, he was ready to go.

555
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, Joe Rogan, Uh, the award that Joe Rogan got.

556
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,160
He commented on Anthony Joe Brown's uh post and said,

557
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,119
this is the only award that I care about that

558
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:39,599
I've ever.

559
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 6: Got in my life.

560
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:40,599
Speaker 5: Yeah.

561
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 3: I mean that's that's what Yellous said. He goes, you

562
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:43,960
know this is this is better than any award I've

563
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,720
ever been snubbed for, Like the the the Antonio Brown

564
00:24:46,759 --> 00:24:48,039
Award Show. I mean, he's killing it.

565
00:24:48,079 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 2: You know.

566
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 3: I saw something the other day, like I don't know

567
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,559
how accurate it is, but there was a there's a

568
00:24:51,559 --> 00:24:53,880
stat that came out. He said, like Antonio Brown is

569
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,119
blocked on Twitter by Tom Brady, Joe Biden, and Caitlyn Clark.

570
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,359
If you got those three noticing you, like, you know,

571
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:00,839
you've made it.

572
00:25:00,839 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 5: It's the same with the Tom Brady Do you let

573
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,319
him in his house? I know, I know we're When

574
00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:08,960
you look back on it, man, the lay that av

575
00:25:09,839 --> 00:25:12,359
left the league, it was so ab, you know, it

576
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,160
just couldn't have went any other way. It was so

577
00:25:14,319 --> 00:25:18,480
Antonio Brown, you know, him just leaving mid game, like

578
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,079
it's just you can't make it up.

579
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:21,319
Speaker 6: Man.

580
00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:23,839
Speaker 5: But no, I think I think he's one of the

581
00:25:23,839 --> 00:25:27,119
funniest dudes on Twitter. Straight up, Before I.

582
00:25:27,039 --> 00:25:28,759
Speaker 3: Get you out of here, let's shift to sports that

583
00:25:28,799 --> 00:25:31,519
are actually going to be entertainment. So obviously away from

584
00:25:31,599 --> 00:25:34,240
uh New Orleans real quick. We got college football playoff

585
00:25:34,279 --> 00:25:37,079
games coming up tomorrow and on New Year's as well.

586
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,559
What are those games you've been excited for?

587
00:25:40,319 --> 00:25:44,279
Speaker 5: Uh all of them? To be honest with you, I

588
00:25:44,759 --> 00:25:49,359
think that you're gonna finally see that upset man did

589
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,440
Texas Arizona State game for whatever reason, even though you

590
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,240
would think Texas is gonna smash As and something is

591
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,000
just every time I stayed that game, I'm like, dude,

592
00:26:00,039 --> 00:26:02,559
could something happen here? You know what I'm saying. Also

593
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,680
the Notre Dame Georgia game. You know we always say

594
00:26:05,759 --> 00:26:09,279
Notre Dame some fraud, has Notre Dame some fraud? But man,

595
00:26:09,319 --> 00:26:14,480
could something happen here? You know? I think Oregon's gonna

596
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:20,319
beat Ohio State, Uh, Penn State Boise. You know, Penn

597
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,960
State don't have an excellent offense, but that defense is

598
00:26:24,079 --> 00:26:27,400
really good and they score on defense, so we'll see.

599
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,599
But I mean the two games I'm looking at is

600
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,160
that Notre Dame Georgia game and then that Texas Arizona

601
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,559
State game. I think something something they go down that.

602
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 3: You know, you make a good point there, because like

603
00:26:37,519 --> 00:26:40,400
that's like the biggest line right now of all four games.

604
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,799
But when you look at it, like Arizona State, now,

605
00:26:42,799 --> 00:26:44,480
if they were picked to finish dead last in the

606
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,640
Big Twelve, didn't matter. Kenny Dillingham, youngest coach in the

607
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,400
Power for Like you got Cam Scattaby, you got Sam Levitt, Like,

608
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,640
I agree with you. There's just something about this team

609
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,079
or it just seems like there's no quid in.

610
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I love I love the coach, dude, you

611
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,160
know what I'm saying. Yeah, And and look they have

612
00:27:01,559 --> 00:27:06,519
they haven't played anybody obviously like Texas, but man, bro,

613
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,039
like they have been rolling, you know what I'm saying,

614
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,640
Like they really have. They got a couple losses that

615
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,359
would suspect, and you know it is what it is.

616
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,240
All these teams kind of usually lose at least one

617
00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:20,519
game that's kind of suspect, but man, they'd be b yu.

618
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,880
You know you saw you saw by you did the Colorado.

619
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,920
These Mormons, bro, Like, I don't know where they find

620
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,039
these dudes, Bro, but they fast strong. H It's crazy, Bro.

621
00:27:34,079 --> 00:27:36,119
I'd love to see a documentary on Mormons who are

622
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,920
trying to play football. It's it's incredible.

623
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we had wanted Taysom Hill in New Orleans.

624
00:27:40,759 --> 00:27:42,559
You know he's not he's not a bad player as well.

625
00:27:42,599 --> 00:27:44,559
Dev rbn R day today. Man, where are you going?

don't know where I'm going yet, but this will be

00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,359
two hundred and forty two Mondays in a row. So

630
00:27:59,079 --> 00:28:02,759

single week, you know, it's like, oh, it's Monday again.

632
00:28:05,039 --> 00:28:07,440
So here we are. We'll see, we'll see what happens.

633
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,519
Speaker 3: All right, Dev, thanks for hopping on with us today.

Speaker 3: Happy New Year, Dev, you have a good one. That

636
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,880
was Devin snow Right. They're talking all things New Orleans. Uh,

637
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,039
from the very bleak that is the Saints and the

638
00:28:20,039 --> 00:28:22,480
Pelicans to the exciting that is Antonio Brown in the

639
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,400
college football playoff. All right, Look, we're gonna take a

640
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,440
quick time out when we get back we're gonna shift

641
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,279
away from sports real quick, and we'll still talk a

642
00:28:28,319 --> 00:28:30,079
little bit of sports, but me and Cassie moves, so

643
00:28:30,079 --> 00:28:32,559
we're gonna chop it up. H Look, New Year's is

644
00:28:32,599 --> 00:28:35,240
coming up, obviously tomorrow, New Year's Eve. We got plans,

645
00:28:35,279 --> 00:28:38,880
we got resolutions or New Year's Day food, overrated or underrated,

646
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,599
we'll talk about it all coming up. You're on off

647
00:28:40,599 --> 00:28:42,519
the bench, off.

648
00:28:42,319 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: The bench, back to sports talk. Maybe off the bench.

649
00:29:04,599 --> 00:29:07,079
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in to Off the Bench. Just

650
00:29:07,079 --> 00:29:09,480
two more segments love for a Monday edition of OTB

651
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,799
before we are off for two days. So, you know, tomorrow,

652
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,880
with LSU play in the Bowl game at two thirty,

653
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,039
we're gonna do a four hour pregame. So we're not

654
00:29:17,079 --> 00:29:19,200
gonna have any local shows tomorrow because it's going to

655
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,119
basically start at eight thirty in the morning all the

656
00:29:21,119 --> 00:29:24,279
way till about you know, five thirty that night. So

657
00:29:24,319 --> 00:29:26,720
it's it's there's really no point in doing any of

658
00:29:26,759 --> 00:29:29,279
the live shows. So we are off for New Year's

659
00:29:29,319 --> 00:29:32,759
Eve and New Year's Day, and guys, speaking of New

660
00:29:32,799 --> 00:29:37,000
Year's everybody, we we we've talked about it with Christmas. Sorry,

661
00:29:37,079 --> 00:29:39,000
Christmas plans, what you got for Christmas and all that.

662
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,079
With the New Years, it seems like everybody has one

663
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,119
thing that they do every single year. So I want

664
00:29:44,119 --> 00:29:46,880
to get Muso and Cassie because I'm sure their New

665
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,160
Year's plans are a lot more interesting than me. Especially

666
00:29:50,279 --> 00:29:52,160
Muso and Muso. What do you do every New Year's Eve?

667
00:29:52,319 --> 00:29:54,519
Speaker 4: Drink just at home?

668
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:55,279
Speaker 3: Party? Like what?

669
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:56,839
Speaker 4: I go out?

670
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,799
Speaker 2: But uh, I mean that's yeah, I mine aren't that

671
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,480
from a lot of other people's would imagine that's why

672
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,640
you're a party. So one night a year where everybody

673
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,680
goes out. I have a buddy, his dad calls it

674
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,319
amateur hour because it's just it's the people who never

675
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,519
go out. They go out and they just get in

676
00:30:12,559 --> 00:30:15,160
trouble and do stupid things. I don't do that. Uh,

677
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,119
I keep it within reason, obviously, but yeah, man, I

678
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,839
mean it'll be good. Tomorrow' would be another long day.

679
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:20,960
It's gonna be a long one.

680
00:30:21,119 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 3: Well, so you, you, of all people, deserve to go

681
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,720
all out this year on New Year's even night because

682
00:30:26,799 --> 00:30:29,960
you're going to be here, what six thirty seven o'clock

683
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:30,480
tomorrow morning.

684
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 2: I get to Rauses probably about six thirty maybe maybe

685
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,200
a little after that, Uh, and then I'll watch the game.

686
00:30:37,519 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 4: Then family we're going out to dinner.

687
00:30:39,599 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 3: Uh.

688
00:30:40,279 --> 00:30:41,759
Speaker 4: That's something we kind of started last year. I guess

689
00:30:41,759 --> 00:30:44,160
we're gonna do that every year now. Uh.

690
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 2: But we go out to dinner and then I'll go

691
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,400
meet up with the friends and We'll just go out

692
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:50,279
and have a have a night.

693
00:30:50,359 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 4: It's spend. It's been with a lot of my favorite people.

694
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 3: So that's good because credit credit to you. Like you know,

695
00:30:54,359 --> 00:30:55,960
I thought I was tired because, like all of us

696
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
here had been pulling doubles for the number of people

697
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,559
that are out. I've only had to host two shows.

698
00:30:59,559 --> 00:31:01,680
You had to do four because you did Matt three

699
00:31:01,759 --> 00:31:03,920
days last week and you got it this week. I

700
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,880
only had to do Hunt Thursday this today. So you,

701
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,359
I mean, you've basically doubled what I've had to do

702
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,319
in terms of like on air prep, but all the

703
00:31:10,359 --> 00:31:13,720
behind the scenes stuff as well. Cassie, any tequila shots

704
00:31:13,799 --> 00:31:16,720
being consumed for New Year's Eve without.

705
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,359
Speaker 8: Me, No, I don't think I'll do any tequila shots.

706
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,839
Speaker 3: Okay, So for a little little backstort behind that. So

707
00:31:21,839 --> 00:31:26,279
we had our guarantee Christmas party shoot thursdays ago. Tea

708
00:31:26,319 --> 00:31:28,960
Bob a bear, being the responsible adult that he is,

709
00:31:29,599 --> 00:31:34,640
asked all of us to do a shot with you. No, no, okay, Well,

710
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,000
Tea bus is the one that came and got me,

711
00:31:36,039 --> 00:31:40,559
so okay that Musa Musso being the responsible when he

712
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,559
is there. There's look, guys, when it comes to the party,

713
00:31:42,559 --> 00:31:44,400
and there's not a huge difference between t Bob and

714
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,079
Muso except Tea BOP's more likely to do like something illegal.

715
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,759
Muso is gonna keep it a little more low key.

716
00:31:49,759 --> 00:31:51,759
But they both like the party. So Muso goes and

717
00:31:51,759 --> 00:31:54,839
gets us and we're all doing a tequila shot. Cassie

718
00:31:55,039 --> 00:31:57,880
does her very first tequila shot and hates it, tells

719
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,160
me it's one of the worst things she's done. But

720
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,119
lo and behold you and a couple others. Musso was

721
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,799
there as well. Y'all go to Laberge after the Christmas

722
00:32:06,799 --> 00:32:09,480
party and you did yet another tequila shodcast.

723
00:32:09,799 --> 00:32:15,839
Speaker 9: Why well, easy, easy story. So it's like you got

724
00:32:15,839 --> 00:32:17,680
to hear the story, but you have to take the shot.

725
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 8: So I took the shot and heard the story.

726
00:32:20,079 --> 00:32:24,079
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, So Muso Conyu into I did Condyu into

727
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,039
doing it because I was like I saw the video

728
00:32:26,079 --> 00:32:27,440
and I asked you the next day. I'm like you said,

729
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,480
the first one was absolutely awful, but Muso somehow convinced

730
00:32:30,519 --> 00:32:34,480
you to do another one. I get it. I definitely

731
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,759
get it. So for for us for New Year's Eve,

732
00:32:38,799 --> 00:32:42,000
so me and Victoria, we will be married two years

733
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,079
in March, but we have been together since twenty fourteen

734
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,839
quite a while. Every year we go to her family

735
00:32:49,839 --> 00:32:52,440
friend's house now. They live in pine Grove, Louisiana. If

736
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,480
you don't know where pine Grove is, it's Cornfield, Cornfield,

737
00:32:55,519 --> 00:32:58,400
cow Pasture one Highway. That's pretty much the entire city

738
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,519
of pine Grove. You've seen it. We have not done

739
00:33:01,519 --> 00:33:03,880
that in two years. We're not doing it again. This

740
00:33:04,079 --> 00:33:07,240
year had a New Year's Even wedding two years ago.

741
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,680
Last year. I don't know why we didn't go This year.

742
00:33:10,839 --> 00:33:13,640
Victoria's mother is going to be in Texas. That's where

743
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,839
her sister lives. So guys, good news for me. I

744
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,759
like going out there, but believe it or not, I

745
00:33:18,799 --> 00:33:20,880
don't like driving forty minutes in the middle of nowhere,

746
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,759
or driving forty minutes back at three in the morning.

747
00:33:23,839 --> 00:33:26,559
It's just not something I enjoy. I got a low

748
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,519
key New Year's Eve, I might not even leave the

749
00:33:28,519 --> 00:33:31,359
house till tomorrow afternoon, Like there's a there's a chance

750
00:33:31,359 --> 00:33:31,920
that that happened.

751
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,279
Speaker 2: So I did that last year, and there was a

752
00:33:34,359 --> 00:33:36,759
reason LSU played a Bowl game at eleven am, which

753
00:33:36,799 --> 00:33:39,200
is stupid, and it made our pregame show go on

754
00:33:39,279 --> 00:33:40,839
air at seven am. So it's like, you know what

755
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,480
I'm going to be responsible for once. I'm not going

756
00:33:43,559 --> 00:33:46,759
to go out and just get incredibly gamed because for.

757
00:33:46,759 --> 00:33:49,519
Speaker 4: The I mean the.

758
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,279
Speaker 2: Festival I did, and I had to be here to

759
00:33:51,559 --> 00:33:53,160
run the board on that show that was also an

760
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,559
eleven am kickoff. That was that was a problem livable

761
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,759
day of work. I was like, I'm going to be

762
00:33:57,839 --> 00:34:00,079
responsible and I just went to dinner with family and

763
00:34:00,119 --> 00:34:03,599
then I went home. Problem was, whenever I went to sleep,

764
00:34:03,839 --> 00:34:05,720
there were fireworks popping all around me. So I still

765
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,480
didn't get to sleep so after midnight anyway, so I'm like,

766
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,159
I really should have just gone out.

767
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 3: So you're not no good with.

768
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,119
Speaker 2: The Loki New Year's well, so like we have a

769
00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:16,079
low key New Year's.

770
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 3: Having a dog on New Year's even though kind of

771
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:19,960
throws a wrench the man.

772
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,079
Speaker 4: They get real scared.

773
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:25,199
Speaker 3: With all the fireworks. But my dog has actually been okay,

774
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,519
I mean last year was his first New Year's Eve.

775
00:34:27,519 --> 00:34:30,119
He's not even two years old yet, so last year,

776
00:34:31,079 --> 00:34:33,880
what's his what's his first New Years Oh, you can say, oh, moose,

777
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,280
he's sixty five pounds. Okay, Hell, he's fully grown. His

778
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,039
dog sounds like he has the uh big dog. Guy,

779
00:34:40,079 --> 00:34:42,400
he has the mindset of a child, does not realize

780
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,519
how big he actually is. But uh no, he's done

781
00:34:44,519 --> 00:34:47,519
pretty good. Victoria is excellent at training this dog. I mean,

782
00:34:47,519 --> 00:34:50,079
the dog is just incredibly smart, way smarter than you

783
00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:52,480
or I or Cassi or anybody else in here. She's

784
00:34:52,519 --> 00:34:55,360
taught him, like anytime she hears a noise, she'll just

785
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,239
say firework and like let him just like really casually.

786
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,320
So now he's kind of good with fireworks because he

787
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,639
just knows, oh, well, it's just a firework, no big deal.

788
00:35:02,679 --> 00:35:05,960
So we're we're good there. As far as New Year's Day,

789
00:35:06,639 --> 00:35:09,440
me and my family we typically go we have like

790
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,000
a family lunch really at about like one p thirty

791
00:35:12,039 --> 00:35:14,119
two o'clock in the afternoon. Don't know where yet, though.

792
00:35:14,159 --> 00:35:16,159
We pick a new spot every single year that that's

793
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:17,519
kind of the fun thing about it. Like as much

794
00:35:17,519 --> 00:35:20,360
as I love tradition, I also love the fact that,

795
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,440
like we have a tradition, but it's it's not the

796
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,280
same old, same old every single year. There there's some

797
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:27,840
wrinkles thrown in there as well. But I wanted to

798
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,679
ask you guys this, So your typical New Year's food,

799
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,519
what you have like some sort of roast, like whether

800
00:35:32,519 --> 00:35:34,079
it's a pork roast, beef something like that's like some

801
00:35:34,119 --> 00:35:37,119
sort of roast for your meat. You have black eyed peas,

802
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,159
and you have cabbage. That's your typical New Year's Eve,

803
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,760
Like what you're supposed to eat quote unquote, Yeah on

804
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,280
New Year's is New Year's food overrated or underrated?

805
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,519
Speaker 4: So we don't really do a ham? I love ham.

806
00:35:48,599 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, we either do a ham or like a pork

807
00:35:50,039 --> 00:35:50,599
roa something like that.

808
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I absolutely hate black eyed peas, always have disgusting

809
00:35:54,079 --> 00:35:56,360
the food or the band, Uh the food.

810
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 3: I was gonna say the band, but out's myths.

811
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't absolutely hate them. They're not my favorite.

812
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,679
I don't actually hate them. I actually hate the food.

813
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,199
Black eyed peas, cabbage. There's like really only one cabbage

814
00:36:05,199 --> 00:36:06,599
that I will eat, and it's the cabbage of my

815
00:36:06,639 --> 00:36:08,400
brother in law makes, and before that I didn't even

816
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,800
eat cabbage. It's really good, So I two out of

817
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,360
the three. I mean, I'm really indifferent on it. Man,

818
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,199
I don't have to have it every year like some

819
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:17,679
people do.

820
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,039
Speaker 4: I can. I can take it or leave it.

821
00:36:19,079 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 2: But I mean, if you're at I like two out

822
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,360
of the three things, Cassie overrated or underrated.

823
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 9: I mean, I kind of agree with Musso we don't

824
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,159
really do like any traditional food. It's kind of like

825
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,320
different every year. The only thing my dad will do

826
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,719
the same every year is he'll do oysters like he

827
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,119
used to like always like troubled oysters.

828
00:36:37,119 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 4: So that's really good.

829
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 8: I don't like.

830
00:36:40,159 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 9: I don't like black eyed peas either, so I don't know.

831
00:36:43,599 --> 00:36:45,519
I think it depends because we never do the same

832
00:36:45,559 --> 00:36:46,239
thing every year.

833
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 3: So I'm very much like my family's the traditional black

834
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,639
eyed peas, cabbage, you know, poor cam something like that.

835
00:36:56,199 --> 00:37:00,880
I gotta tell you, guys, Newsy food is one under overrated.

836
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,119
Not that I don't like it, but you have to,

837
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:04,719
but like, what is it? It's like one of them's

838
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,360
for health, one of them's for wealth or something like that.

839
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,639
Like yeah, either peas or wealth, cabbage is health or

840
00:37:09,639 --> 00:37:12,400
something like it might be flip flopped. I'm not exactly sure,

841
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:18,239
but last year my mother did cabbage rolls, which you know,

842
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,800
baked them. It's almost like an egg roll, yeah, shape wise,

843
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,320
but wrapping in cabbage you do like a ground meat

844
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,519
with like a dirty rice inside, with a little bit

845
00:37:25,519 --> 00:37:28,480
of meat, a little bit of rice. That is phenomenal.

846
00:37:28,559 --> 00:37:32,400
But honestly, like, I don't know, we do the traditional

847
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,239
New Year's every year, and I'm just I'm not that

848
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,679
big of a fan of it. The food's fine. It's

849
00:37:36,679 --> 00:37:39,239
not that I don't like it, it's just there's a

850
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,519
lot better stuff out there, like I much more look

851
00:37:41,599 --> 00:37:44,400
forward to, like the lunch we go do every year,

852
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,599
it's some different restaurant and bad roots. Instead of coming

853
00:37:46,599 --> 00:37:49,719
home and having the cabbage and black eyed peas dinner

854
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,599
like we do that, we do a little bit dirty rice.

855
00:37:51,639 --> 00:37:53,760
We'll do corn bread. Cornbread's a big one for us

856
00:37:54,079 --> 00:37:55,159
on New Year's as well.

857
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 2: But it's fine now dirty rice and corn bread. I

858
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,000
love both of those things.

859
00:38:00,199 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 3: I do too, But like is that ever gonna be

860
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,599
at like the top of my oh, hell, I gotta

861
00:38:05,639 --> 00:38:07,360
have like dirty rice and corn bread right now, No,

862
00:38:07,599 --> 00:38:09,199
at least not for me, like I love them. They're

863
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,400
both good side like I feel like New Year's is

864
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:15,440
nothing but like side dishes, like blackout pieces aside, cabbages aside,

865
00:38:15,599 --> 00:38:17,880
corn bread's aside, like all that. Like there's just there's

866
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,280
not a big main food for me that I have

867
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,840
to have every year on New Year's. So for that reason,

868
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:23,920
I gotta say they're overrated.

869
00:38:24,559 --> 00:38:27,280
Speaker 2: I don't disagree, like I said, aroun't seek it out.

870
00:38:27,599 --> 00:38:29,920
I don't have to have it every year. All right, Look,

871
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,360
we're gonna take a quick time out. When we get back,

872

924
00:41:05,519 --> 00:41:07,599
Monday edition of Off the Bench. Taylor Sharp here with you,

925
00:41:07,639 --> 00:41:10,280
filling in for Jacob Ester and Tea Ba Baby Bear.

926
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:15,400
They will both be back on Thursday. Right now, let's

927
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,679
get into a little ask of the bench. Ask the

928
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,440
bench the first one up there. This one will be

929
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:22,280
for Musso and Cassie. First, ask the bench, what is

930
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,400
your new Year's resolution? If you have one, I don't

931
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:24,880
have one.

932
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:26,599
Speaker 8: I haven't thought that for yet.

933
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 3: Well, aren't we just the boring trio? Because I don't

934
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,760
have one either, Guys. I never set a New Year's resolution.

935
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,800
And here's why. I'm one of those people who's like hardcore.

936
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,679
If I go to a new Year's resolution, I'm like, oh,

937
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,679
I'm gonna make this happen. Three weeks in, something comes up,

938
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,840
I forget about it. I get scatterbrainda don't do it.

939
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,119
So I'm always like, if you have a resolution, you

940
00:41:44,199 --> 00:41:47,599
might not get to that resolution. Therefore, just don't make one.

941
00:41:47,679 --> 00:41:50,880
I'm already a pretty responsible person for my age. Like

942
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,440
I don't. I don't really, I don't really do anything crazy.

943
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,159
Then I'm like, hey, like you have to stop that.

944
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,679
Like somebody in the YouTube chat said, Taylor's New Year's

945
00:41:58,679 --> 00:42:01,400
resolution is gonna be a quit drinking Noss energy drinks. Guy,

946
00:42:02,119 --> 00:42:04,639
if you think that I'm gonna stop drinking energy drinks,

947
00:42:04,679 --> 00:42:06,559
I got one right here. I'm probably gonna have a

948
00:42:06,599 --> 00:42:09,880
second one. Like, yes, I know they are bad for you,

949
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,199
but you know what, they make me feel good. It's

950
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:16,000
my guilty pleasure. Everybody has a guilty pleasure. I'm not

951
00:42:16,039 --> 00:42:18,639
stopping like there there is no reason for me to

952
00:42:18,639 --> 00:42:21,559
stop drinking energy drinks, like nothing, nothing that I could

953
00:42:21,559 --> 00:42:24,199
think of. So I'm I'm I'm exactly with you, guys.

954
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,719
I don't have a new US resolution either, Okay, ask

955
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,719
the bench. Well, Cincinnati have a miracle weekend and things

956
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:31,199
work out to make the playoffs.

957
00:42:31,639 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I'd love to see that, but I mean

958
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,840
the odds are no. Yeah, they're a little behind the

959
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,079
on the Jets. For goods, they have to rely on

960
00:42:38,119 --> 00:42:38,679
the Jets.

961
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,079
Speaker 3: The Broncos either have to tie or lose, and the

962
00:42:42,079 --> 00:42:44,119
Bengals have to win. Like there's two or three teams

963
00:42:44,119 --> 00:42:46,159
that are ahead of them in terms of like in

964
00:42:46,199 --> 00:42:49,320
the Hunt teams, a lot has to happen. I'm gonna say, no,

965
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,039
it would be great to see them in there because

966
00:42:51,079 --> 00:42:52,800
I think that's a team that nobody would want to

967
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,840
play the way that Joe Burrows playing this year. But

968
00:42:55,559 --> 00:42:58,199
I think they just got they got too much working Again,

969
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,719
some ask the bench, did you guys consider opting out

970
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,880
mid show? So I would have loved to have opted

971
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,239
out mid show. But again, this exact same trio is

972
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,199
going to be doing AFAR from three to six, And honestly, guys,

973
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,920
like when I tell you, nobody's here, nobody's here, Like

974
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,679
if one of us three opted out of the show,

975
00:43:14,679 --> 00:43:16,840
there would not have been a show, Like, nobody else

976
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,320
is here to take our place. So it's like, even

977
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,000
if we wanted to opt out, we really couldn't opt

978
00:43:22,079 --> 00:43:24,000
out like that. That's just kind of how the day's

979
00:43:24,079 --> 00:43:26,400
going looka.

980
00:43:26,519 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 4: Please don't opt out of the afternoon please.

981
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:29,800
Speaker 3: Oh no, I am, I am here for long. I

982
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,239
gotta do the Matt McMahon show till eight o'clock tonight.

983
00:43:32,639 --> 00:43:34,199
I don't know why I'm followed him for that, or

984
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,920
why they're having won one day before the New Year's holiday,

985
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,199
but they are. Ask the bench, if you had to

986
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,760
train someone to fill in on the board that had

987
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,039
zero experience, how many days were it would it take

988
00:43:45,159 --> 00:43:47,960
to train them so like to work the board by themselves.

989
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:53,639
So Audio, I'm gonna say two extensive days of training,

990
00:43:53,639 --> 00:43:55,880
maybe three? Would you agree with that? Like if it's

991
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,360
like you came in here for hours at.

992
00:43:57,199 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 8: A time, two days, well.

993
00:43:59,519 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 3: You did for me. Yeah, you know I'm right, because

994
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:07,679
again through it filling in for me, she filling in

995
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,000
for me could mean I'm here or Muso's here, Like

996
00:44:10,039 --> 00:44:12,320
for example, I don't know what the hell I'm doing

997
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,679
half the time on AFR Audio, but whenever I'm filling in,

998
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,280
it's because Muso's here. So like you kind of have

999
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:18,960
somebody to help, you say, you don't have to be

1000
00:44:19,039 --> 00:44:20,480
like an expert at it, you just have to be

1001
00:44:20,519 --> 00:44:23,239
proficient enough to last. So I think two days audio

1002
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,079
board maybe four of a.

1003
00:44:25,079 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 2: Video they did it with that. I think you had

1004
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,039
only sat with me. You never touched the board. You'd

1005
00:44:30,039 --> 00:44:31,199
only sat with me for like.

1006
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,079
Speaker 9: I think I think I shadowed at you for maybe

1007
00:44:34,159 --> 00:44:36,840
like a week, and then you just gave me like

1008
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:41,639
a quick, like hour runthrough with like very descriptive cheat sheet,

1009
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:43,360
and we made it.

1010
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 4: We made it.

1011
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 8: It was very stressful.

1012
00:44:45,599 --> 00:44:47,559
Speaker 4: You didn't really text me or call me throughout the

1013
00:44:47,599 --> 00:44:48,039
show either.

1014
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 8: No, I think I might have just text you once

1015
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:51,480
just to double check something.

1016
00:44:51,519 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 5: But I don't like me.

1017
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 8: I don't like making mistakes. It was so stressful.

1018
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 4: I don't know anybody who does. Cassie.

1019
00:44:59,039 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 3: Well, you know, when you get into this business and

1020
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,199
you you've already noticed it a little bit, but you

1021
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,039
just kind of got to say yes to things and

1022
00:45:06,039 --> 00:45:08,679
then learn as you go. Like half the time, I'm like,

1023
00:45:08,679 --> 00:45:10,440
like Matt's like, hey, can you do that? I have

1024
00:45:10,519 --> 00:45:11,920
no idea how to do it, And I'm like, yeah, yeah,

1025
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,039
I can do that, no problem. All right, Look, that's

1026
00:45:14,079 --> 00:45:15,559
