Speaker 1: Off the bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynnsday.
Speaker 2: Hester and Hester got it fine of five from.
Speaker 1: Carrying each other to and Natty to carrying each other on.
Speaker 3: The air, It's brought control.
Speaker 1: Live from the Raising Kine Studio. It's off the bench, all.
Speaker 4: Right, welcome back here, off the bench out word number
three on a Tuesday Tuesday show brought to you by
Community Steel. We got Flynn a launder at Tay Tay
and Cane the dog holding it down here. Oh mister
Jacob Hester again, Gallavanton skipping around Arizona with all the
NFL owners and somebody else said is joining the show
to talk a little New Orleans Saints. We got Ross Jackson,
all from Louisiana Sports done that and locked on Saints podcast. Ross.
What's up my man?
Speaker 2: Hey man, glad to be here with you. Thanks for
having me. You know, look, I know Jake and I
are both out here, but at least I could.
Speaker 5: Show up, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, Jake Evan asked to come on the
show one time this whole week.
Speaker 2: One time, not even one time.
Speaker 4: Now on fairness, we didn't ask him. Uh yeah, we've
know Forrilla We appreciate you jumping on pinching for us
right now. We just learned like eight minutes ago that
Nick was on an airplane couldn't join the show. So
we know you usually jump on with Matt in the afternoon,
so we appreciate you jumping on with us. I'm like, look,
let me ask him like you've seen you've seen hester
this week? Is he Is he acting any different to
you now that he's got this big new NFL gig
instead of college.
Speaker 6: It's funny you should say that the chest is a
little bit.
Speaker 2: More out, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: The the chin's a little bit further up, you know,
and so it's you know, his hands look even bigger somehow, like.
Speaker 7: I don't know, there's hands.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a magnanimousness around him right now that you
know you might have to bring him down a peg
when he gets back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're starting to say around here that he's getting
a little less gritty. He's now identifying as a running
back and not a fullback.
Speaker 2: So it's less gritty, let's gritty more pretty.
Speaker 4: That's exactly right. Uh, but no, you're you are out
in Arizona at the NFL Owners meeting, and it kind
of explained to the folks like the NFL Owners meeting
is certainly of course not all about owners. Just everybody's there,
coaches are there, Uh, there's media members there. What all
is happening that? Like, what is this meeting all about?
What gets accomplished this week? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, this is a lot of different you know
a lot of different meetings and events that actually go
on here, including everything from potential rule change meetings, Like
there's a lot of special teams you know, stuff on
the table this year for some more changes to the
kickoff on side kick rules. Little us is nothing too
big there. You know, there was that uh you know
vote on the table from I think it was the
Cleveland Browns put it out about trying to trade picks
all the way out to you know, five years in advance.
As you know, they kind of look at things that
they could potentially do with that whatever, but that ended
up getting pulled back. So it's little things like that
in terms of these you know, larger rule changes. But
then there's also additional conversations that happen that are along
the idea of you know, updating on the International Plan
or updating on the international markets and games and things
like that. I mean, it's a lot that goes on here,
a lot of business, but a lot of talk about
the game as well. But you know, and this is
also where a lot of deals start to get made
in terms of general managers all being in one place.
You know, I've already heard of a couple of the
trades that came to fruition in last year's drafts began
during the owners meetings conversations and things like that. So
a lot of a lot of deals kind of get
struck over here as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, kind of like I've always looked at this meeting
as kind of scene your ball and combine like on steroids,
because there's not as many people and it's all the
bit it's like the decision makers. So and you're getting
closer to the draft, so a lot of big decisions.
But but you're just kind of saying, there's no big news.
I know, last year coming out it was like the
big vote on the Tush push, But like, there's no
big rule changes that you've heard about that are going
to like really be significant.
Speaker 2: The only one that can be interesting is the idea
of allowing a replay official to overrule or add a
penalty if something was missed on a play on the field.
I haven't checked up on that, you know, with the
footwisth of a big focus on everything thant wise going
on here, but that would probably be the biggest one
that you know, if that were to pass, or if
that were to not be pulled or whatever, that could
potentially have some big impact in twenty twenty six. If
they did vote yes on that, it would be a
one year situation, not a in perpetuity situation, So it
would be a whole piece of like, oh, they try
it out for a year and then see if they
want to keep at allah. The last time that they
did this was making penalties reviewable, but now instead of
putting it in the coach's hands, they just want to
keep it in the official fair.
Speaker 4: Now would that be all penalties? I would think they
tried the pass interference combative penalties like holding pass interference
those are hard, but personal fouls like chopped blocks, and
then like all sides of stuff that can be reviewable,
but the combative penalty, so is everything from a penalty
standpoint on the.
Speaker 2: Table basically what they like. The way that they listed
it out in the rule change document was anything that's
egregious and clear or like clear and obvious, And so
I think it would be.
Speaker 5: More so towards the larger kind.
Speaker 2: Of impactful penalties like you know, a big pass interference
down the field that could move the ball down the field,
or you know, like you said, a personal foul penalty,
maybe some under unnecessary roughness stuff, they could be looked at,
I think, but that I think that would probably be
more so the focus than you.
Speaker 5: Know, kind of did more picky tacky stuff.
Speaker 4: Gotcha all right, let's talk some saints more. Took to
the microphone and you know, talked a lot about what
was your Do you have any big takeaways? I know,
like one takeaway that we were talking about in studio
here was kind of mum's the word a little bit
on Kamara? Uh, what's kind of your feeling on Alvin
Kamara going in to the draft.
Speaker 2: Yeah. In our conversation with Kellen, he was pretty clear
that he envisions a world where you could actually have
both Travis Chant as well as Alvin Mure in the
backfield together. But as you continue to have more conversation
and talk with, you know, other folks that are around
here everything, you start to pick up a little bit
more on you know, what it would actually take for
that to become the case. It's one thing that, yeah,
if they're on the roster together, could they coac just.
Speaker 5: In the backfield?
Speaker 2: Sure. The other question though, is will he get to
the point where he is on the roster and therefore
a part of that backfield. So from some of the
things that we've heard, it feels like there's still some
contractual conversations that would have to happen in terms of,
you know, making things comfortable on both sides the role
would be and for kind of the future money as well,
that sits on the contract. So I think that there's
still more conversation to be had when it comes to,
you know, what Kamara's future looks like here. Well, I'm
not here in New Orleans, but in New Orleans, so
that'll still that's still a storyline we're following here throughout
the offseason because it's it's really it's very very clear
just how unclear the.
Speaker 5: Future of Kamara in New Orleans is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then when everybody's kind of unclear, it's kind
of hard to give absolutes when you're a head coach,
you got to kind of tiptoe around, and that's probably
you know, kind of what he's doing, and we all
get that. What I'm curious, like all these moves, it
seems like the Saints have made a lot of really
good moves, you know, starting with the draft last year,
with free agent signings. It just seems like everything they've done,
they've has been really good. And we haven't always been
able to say that about the Saints in the last
handful of years. How much influence does Kellimore have on
personnel decision makings right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, a good question, I think. You know, we asked
him a little bit about like what's the process like
going into free agency for instance, and he mentioned that,
you know, in a lot of cases, they'll you know,
be able to provide these are some of the players
that we like and things like that. It's very collaborative,
very collaborative approach. I know years ago, a couple of
years ago, I talked to one of the Saints position
coaches that's now elsewhere and he mentioned that, you know,
he had submitted a he was able to submit a
list of kind of his preferred targets at the position
that he coached. And you know, the team then takes
that into consideration. It's not a Okay, yeah, we'll go
get these guys for you, you know what I mean,
it's adding to the list of potential talents. So I
would imagine there's still some version of that that exists,
and of course, as the head coach, you're trying to
put together the more holistic version of all of it.
So I think it's the collaborative one. But he absolutely has,
you know, say in terms of you know, what players
are targeted, what players end up getting brought in, and
you know, obviously he's not there negotiating the contracts during
free agency, but it's clear that he has some big
time input in terms of what that personnel looks like,
which is what you would expect for your head coach
and could be a big part of the reason why
things began to turn around as quickly as they did
on both sides of the football last year was because
they were able to get the right guys in the building.
That started with that draft and free agency last year,
but certainly accelerated this year, especially with the strong free
agency bus.
Speaker 4: Well, let's talk about somebody that is in the building,
but hopefully going to be in the building for much longer.
Let's talk about Chris Alave a little bit. How is
that the whole contract extension progressing. I know, with the
with the JSN contract up in Seattle, maybe that maybe
delayed a few things. Maybe the negotiations got a little
bit more spicy after that. But how's that whole contract
situation and when do you see it being played out?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the timeline is a really interesting one because what
the JSN deal does is that it kind of give
Olave and his you know team, the opportunity just from
the outside looking in, to say, you know what, we're
going to go after that contract and so bet on
themselves in twenty twenty twenty six and hopes of being
able to go back to the drawing table in twenty
twenty seven and negotiate something that's more than that forty
plus range if he were to have another strong season
improve that kind of he earned that money, so they
could always bet on themselves here thanks to that JSN deal.
But I don't know that the JASN deal impacts much
right now because of where the belief of where Olive
ranks within sort of these highest paid wide receivers. The
biggest thing is that when you ask people about where
Chris Olive lands, and I'm talking you know, different executives,
different evaluators, everything like that that are here at the
here at the meeting, you start to pick up on
sort of the divide between you know, hey, you know,
some people will say Chris Olave deserves and sits around
that thirty two and a half million dollar plus range
where Garrett Wilson is. You they were in the same
draft class, And some of it is just timing, right
when contract happened, first, second contract happens, and you expect
that contract to be higher, and then others kind of
look at him as maybe the stealing is actually thirty
million dollars, And so there's a little bit of a
divide in terms of where the outside look is on
his deal. I imagine that divide isn't absent when it comes
to the team and his representation trying to market for
them as well. Right Like, if we're seeing that across
all these evaluators, you imagine that that's part of the
conversation that's going on as well. So the negotiations are happening,
things are moving, but I don't know exactly where a
timeline might be yet, because if there's a bit of
a divide here, a lot obvious people could easily say, okay,
going to bet on ourselves going into twenty twenty six
and then maybe you know, hit the negotiating table again
in twenty seven.
Speaker 4: What number you think that'll land up.
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be in the thirty range
if they got it done this off season. It'll be
interesting to see if that number is exactly thirty or
if it does push up a little bit higher than that.
Speaker 5: I think that the other thing.
Speaker 2: That's got to be very interesting in all this, just
you know, looking at all the possibilities of it, is
how much do you guarantee? How do you handle things
in terms of you know, the the injury history as
well and taking that into account. And that's something that
a lot of people you know, have kind of brought
up around a lot of already, is you know, does
that impact guarantees, does that impact how the money has
structured all these other things? So I would imagine that
he kind of falls my projector would probably be in
the thirty million dollar. But what would be very interesting
is to see what the full on structure looks like
from us, you know, bonuses, incentives or even guarantee side.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the lot of these situation is fascinating to me
because we talked about it all season about he's not
your traditional one, but his stats and his statistics at
any year are you know, you have to recognize him,
like you you can't not see what he's done. And
now with the new contrac with jsim phu Canu probably
getting a new contract, it's going to be fascinating to
where the Saints value him because you can't not keep
that guy. You have to feel that a way. But
then it's like how do you build around it? So
what do you see going forward into the draft? Do
you see them bringing on some more veteran wide receivers
at lower rates that are still available. Do you see
them jumping and taking a receiver early on in the draft.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think adding to the wide receiver room is
something that would make a lot of sense for them.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't be surprised to see.
Speaker 2: I think you're probably looking at doing that in the
draft though. I think that the money at wide receiver
is one of the things that kind of makes teams go,
you know, what, do you just kind of keep recycling
these players through through the draft. I can kind of
keep repopulating that position through the draft instead of paying
multiple people, you know, ample amounts of dollars to come
in and play the position, and you're getting you know, four,
potentially five years of a rotation on these guys. And
so I think that there's a lot of a lot
to be said about playing sort of in the middle
rounds when it comes to wide receiver to add talent
to a room. So I would expect to see that.
I think that this is a team that would still
benefit from, you know, a young pass rusher as well.
We know how much the Saints love to kind of
lean trenches early on in the draft, and so I
wouldn't be surprised to see that, you know, continue that
trend and continue. But you know, we'll kind of see
where it is that they want to go, and what
the board looks like is going to be a big
part of it as well. But I think for the
most part, like they're the spaces where you can kind
of imagine there needs to be or their desires to
be or are pretty pretty obvious.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 2: It's that edge rusher spot, It's that you know, potentially
adding to that wide receiver room. You've got to figure
out how you're going to overcome for the loss of
Alante Taylor, Like some of the some of the the
gaps in the roster are pretty clear still, and I
imagine those are some of the spots they'll continue to
go after, whether it be via you know, more veterans
in free agency before the draft, going after some players
in the draft, or potentially looking at veterans after the
draft as well, which I thinks.
Speaker 5: Love the sort of in that June July area when
they get the same.
Speaker 4: Any updates on Cam Jordan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean everything that I understand is that, like
the team would love to have Cam Jordan back the interest.
The question mark is can they provide Cam the opportunity
to give him the value that he's looking for from
a playtime perspective of production perspective, or is he going
to get a better opportunity elsewhere. So I wouldn't be
surprised if the draft maybe has some impact on like
the outlook of that from Cam Jordan's side, but there
seems to be a desire for him to be in
New Orleans. The question is just simply can they provide
the opportunity that he's looking for in the process. Have
you used to saying, ah, yes, I got there.
Speaker 6: I mean, look, I'm.
Speaker 2: Going to mess it up every now and then because
you still have to type it out, right, Like when
I type out Wednesday, I still say Wedness day.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, And.
Speaker 2: So like every now and then, I need I need
to sound it out, you know, just big sean spelling.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's still it's like it's like somebody count
with their fingers. I do the same thing Wedness day.
Speaker 2: That's what I do everything February. Like, you know, we
got restaurant.

Speaker 3: Isn't that what they don't I don't.
Speaker 9: Really know what that is? That Okay, I's gonna say,
I don't really know. You already said yes, you already
said yes. Oh dude, I'm all about it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, why not?
Speaker 7: That's what they were technology injecting into themselves.
Speaker 8: Yes, not at juven me though, what does uh?
Speaker 9: What does Jake say, Bradley del Pivato? You should tell
y'all if everybody, if everybody could get another inch, you'd
all take it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll do it, man fair Enough's good.
Speaker 3: I don't think it gave you an.
Speaker 9: Inch, though, I don't know what does. There's only one
way to find well, really go test it.
Speaker 4: Maybe, like yeah, here, let me pull this up because.
Speaker 3: I very excited, oh about what.
Speaker 4: Mankind's returning to the Moon.
Speaker 3: Really, we were just talking about the Moon.
Speaker 4: It's been fifty four years since we've ordered did the Moon.
NASA's Artibus two mission will carry four astronauts, Reed Wiseman,
Victor Glover, Christina Coke and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hanson. Don't
know what I got to bring the Canadian guy, right,
what's he going to bring to the table. Nothing. It's
like elis you're going to do something and bring someone
from Ole miss to do something like, yeah, there's no
point in that, right on a ten day free return
trajectory around the Moon and back to Earth. It'll be
the first crude mission beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo
seventeen in nineteen seventy two. Wow, uh huh, And Hanson
was going to be the first non US citizen to
travel beyond or the orbits. So they're not landing long.
Speaker 3: They're just going.
Speaker 4: The crew will not land on the Moon this time. Okay,
next thing. The mission is designed to Okay, all right,
I respect it, but I don't like it. The mission
is designed to thoroughly test the Orion spacecraft and its
life support systems afore NASA attempts an actual lunar landing,
which it's targeting for twenty twenty eight. So in twenty
twenty eight, we're going to land on the Moon. So
this is one of the most significant moments in space
exploration history, and it's happened right now. Now. I think
that's a strong statement because we've already been there. Apparently
maybe not, But does any technology out there decrease more
or increase less than space travel tech? At least did
the deep space, the high orbit excuse me. We've already
landed on it, so you think that would know how
to do it? Yeah, unless the flag blowing was pretty bad.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's only one way.
Speaker 7: One way to find out is to go there and
see if the footprints are.
Speaker 3: Indeed on there, because they'd still be there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they would still be there.
Speaker 4: What are they like, a meteor hit it already?
Speaker 8: I don't think I think we'd know if a media
hit the moon.
Speaker 4: Hit the moons all the time. The sucker's getting pelt
at all the time. Mm hmm.
Speaker 9: It's a little space dust matter. You know what The
big problem is? What they haven't called vin Diesel for assistance.
He took an entire crew up there.
Speaker 4: Did they leave the flag there?
Speaker 8: I don't like, it's everything there, land it just to
take it right back.
Speaker 7: So meteers constantly hit the Moon allegedly, See I knew that.
So maybe that's why we can't land on it, because
there's always meteors.
Speaker 4: You always get hit.
Speaker 9: That's true weather those uh those uh, those rockets don't
have flashers on them, so.
Speaker 7: Unlike Earth, the Moon has no atmosphere to burn up
incoming rocks, so they strike the surface full speed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're just hidding all the time.
Speaker 7: There's five to one hundred and sixty thousand miles per hour.
Do you imagine forty five thousand to one hundred and
sixty thousand miles per hour? These these uh meteors are
coming into the Moon.
Speaker 4: Well, here's my question.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine?
Speaker 4: How are they moving so fast?
Speaker 9: I don't know how much because I don't know how
you measure how fast they're going.
Speaker 4: I mean, are they coming towards Earth? There's a gravitational
pull of Earth pulling it to it's just hitting the Moon.
Speaker 3: Let's the atmosphere burns it up.
Speaker 4: Okay, here's here's my question. You can always we only
see one side of the Moon, right, If Earth's gravitational
pulls pulling the meteors towards it, how are there craters
on the side that we're seeing.
Speaker 9: It's hidden so hard, it's st in the backside.
Speaker 4: I mean, bro, have.
Speaker 9: Hour, It's just a giant hole on the back of
the Moon from all the asteroids.
Speaker 4: We don't know. Yeah, God of the Moon, Moon's moment two. Yeah,
but I feel like we've always learned that it's not spinning, right?
Is it spinning? I don't know. I feel like I
was always like you, always looking at the same moon,
the same side of it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we only have one moon, well the same side
of the moon.
Speaker 3: Well, so I always thought that too, but the moon also.
Speaker 4: Boom.
Speaker 3: All right, I mean we're clearly NASA over here.
Speaker 7: Obviously someone's calling the line and they're probably like, let
me tell these idiots shut up about this.
Speaker 8: I am dumb for having listen.
Speaker 4: Well, just like Lloyd Christmas said, and dumb and number,
we laid it on the moon. M you remember that
scene y'all too young for that movie.
Speaker 8: I'm dumber. Yeah, see Dumb Dummer like twenty times.
Speaker 3: But you can be too young for a movie and
like still seen it.
Speaker 4: Well, that's not what the everybody says when we ask
him about Varsity Blues.
Speaker 3: Well, those few are stupid.
Speaker 4: I agree, that's everybody.
Speaker 9: Is that some more of those cult classics where it's
like you had to be around that time to watch
and like we've seen it because we watch a lot
of sports movies. But like dumb and Dumber, everybody knows that.
Speaker 4: Okay, fair enough. We just got a text from Jacob
Pster RB one. We're gonna call him RB one, So here.
It's not very wolf pack in there right now.
Speaker 8: Wow. Responding to be like why becomes a rock.
Speaker 7: Star one time, I'm gonna say leaving the wolf pack
is not very wolf pack, not real wolf pack.
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 7: Well, Marler said, it's actually been longer than fifty four
years since you've been on the moon because we never
landed on the moon.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I.
Speaker 4: Said, Bro, it hadn't been longer. Time never started. Then
if you didn't land on the moon, time never started. Anyway,
guess what we're going. We're not landing on it until
twenty twenty eight. But good for space travel. You got
to get there to start that Moon community, so then
you can get to Mars.
Speaker 7: Yeah, like you have to actually get on the Moon.
And they're supposed to be because I went down a
rabbit hole last week for some reason about like space
and stuff.
Speaker 3: I was asking Tchatgibt all these questions. So basically I'm
a pro they could probably send me up there.
Speaker 7: So they want to put another like the International Space Station.
They want to put one of those on the Moon,
and then that's how you get ready to go to Mars.
Speaker 4: Here's my thing, though, how are they going to protect
it from forty five is a mile an hour? Right,
you can put up a net that's faster.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's gonna burn.
Speaker 4: Right, I don't even think you can't even create that speed.
Speaker 3: I mean you're just gonna have to be dodgy. No,
I guess how are you?
Speaker 4: Like? This is speed tested?
Speaker 8: Not for this, it's not no logic. Can go she
could replace the Canadian movies.
Speaker 3: Send me there the Canadian.
Speaker 4: What do you find? Yeah, seriously, there's no reason to
put that guy in there.
Speaker 8: What was the first guy's name?
Speaker 4: Read? What that was?
Speaker 8: That was an astront name if I'd ever heard one.
Speaker 9: Oh, we gotta pull it up. That was a great
astronaut name, great astronaut name. Like he's got to be
there read wise man read Wiseman's got to be like
the commander of the group.
Speaker 4: Right. Uh, he's the first one listed. So I mean,
I mean I would say yeah. But anyway, it's a
it's a significant situation happening, and that is tomorrow. They're
going tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Should we watch it?
Speaker 4: Guys?
Speaker 8: They're not actually going fool Did you just get got?
Speaker 4: No? Because I actually read this. I thought I read
this like a couple of months ago.
Speaker 3: To no, I think they are doing that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they are doing it. But yeah, April first, I
just really.
Speaker 9: April fools were going back to the Moon because they
never went to the.
Speaker 4: Land on it.
Speaker 7: I asked, Chu, GBT, how are we going to put
a space station on the Moon if it's always getting
hit by meteors?
Speaker 3: And it said, great question.
Speaker 8: You got a great question from from mister Chut.
Speaker 3: Yeah for you, I'm so dead.
Speaker 4: All right, we're gonna go to break, we're gonna come back,
and we're gonna get back into sports a little bit.
We're gonna get off the moon. The sports.
Speaker 7: You build it underground, build it underground, and scientists think
the moon has huge love. Can you imagine if you
tried to dig up underground to put a space station
in there you found that's crazy?
Speaker 3: Can you imagine digging on the Moon. You just find
all this stuff under the surface.
Speaker 7: How many resources, huge lava tubes in there?
Speaker 4: But you gotta be pretty far under ground because those
craters are pretty deep. We can see them from Earth.
They're pretty deep. We gotta go to the core. I
don't know if it's possible, as it's possible, do we
really want to do this? Yeah? Okay, all right, we're
gonna go to break. We'ready to get back talk do
a little crop dustin sports. So we're gonna kind of

Speaker 1: Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flinn presented
by Community Steel.
Speaker 4: All Right, welcome back here Off the Bench on Tuesday nine.
Thanks for joining us, Thanks for sticking with us this
morning tripod Roland Tuesday Show brought to you back Community Steel.
All Right, sign forty. We got a few minutes here
before we get to our last segment of Vasta Bench.
So what we want to do, because we want to
do go around the world, around the country. We want
to crop dust a little sports.
Speaker 3: Oh do we have like an open for this?
Speaker 4: No, we don't, but I thought we do have jaw rule.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got you with the jaw rule.
Speaker 4: All Right, I'm gonna start this thing off with a
little uh. We're gonna go across the poem approximately twelve
tons a Formula one KitKat chocolate bars. We're stolen why
transiting through Europe. So a spokesperson for NESLEI confirmed to
the here on the Athletic Saturday, there was a truck
carrying four hundred and thirteen thousand, seven hundred and ninety
three units of Kitkats stolen the truck. So KitKat has
become F one the official chocolate bar last year. So
this was they were It was F one seventy fifth anniversary.
In twenty twenty six, Kitkats ninetieth anniversary. You know. On
January twenty sixth, twenty twenty six, Nestle announced this year
was marked by Kitkats first season as F one's official
chocolate partner. So they had these special chocolate bars wrapped
with FF one and all this stuff stolen. There's a
chocolate kidnapper out there. He stole four hundred and thirteen thousand,
seven hundred ninety three units of kit Kats. And let
me tell you, Kitkats are good. Ain't that good?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: I don't think I ever am like, let me get
a KitKat. Definitely.
Speaker 4: I mean I'll eat one and be like, oh that's good.
I wouldn't a Halloween. Post Halloween, I'll take a kit
Cat from a kid.
Speaker 3: If it's there, I'm eating it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but I don't ever go out my way, and
I certainly wouldn't put my life in danger or put
myself in the position where I would go to prison.
Speaker 8: First of Kitkats, I don't know.
Speaker 9: I like cats reeses too, so Matt, it was four
hundred and sixteen thousand individual kitkats. Unbelievable, which is like
I get it to an extent, like if you want
to take three kit Kats, yep, I'm good with it.
Speaker 4: What are you gonna do with this? Especially this like
the f one kit Cats, they're specifically marked, so you know,
A great quote here from a KitKat spokesperson. We've always
encouraged people to have a break with KitKat, but it
seems to these have taken the message too literally and
made a break with more than twelve tons of our chocolate.
Speaker 3: That's funny.
Speaker 4: Goods of them. Maybe it's all a promotion promotional thing.
Speaker 8: Maybe maybe smarm I.
Speaker 7: Mean, make a chocolate heist talking about kit Kats when
we haven't in probably the history of.
Speaker 3: The showp.
Speaker 4: Good for them. Yeah, what happening over in Europe?
Speaker 3: I have one.
Speaker 7: I have a little story I want to crop dust.
Speaking of conspiracy theories, we were talking about the moon
and how we may or may not have landed on
it last segment. If you remember, during football season, especially
toward the end of football season, this theory started definitely
getting floated around the internet, the forty nine ers and
their injuries being correlated to an electrical substation that is
across the street from their practice facility. You know, there
was a bunch of people making threads on Twitter trying
to make an argument for it that they could be
getting like some EMF waves forward them and they could
be yea soft tissue dances and a lot of achilles injuries.
Speaker 3: Over there in San fran But there.
Speaker 7: John Lynch was actually asked about it at the owners
meetings out there, and he said that they hired an
independent scientist to research the substation because it started it
started getting into players heads, like the players the players
were like right, So the players even were thinking like, Okay,
maybe it is a substation. So they hired an independent
scientist and the scientists basically said it was a nothing
burger and that they're safe and that the levels are
four hundred times less than an unsafe zone. Yeah, but
just for reference, the forty nine ers health by season.
In twenty twenty four, they were the number one most
injured team in the NFL. In twenty twenty two they
were number nine, and twenty one they were number three,
and twenty twenty they were number one, and in twenty
eighteen they.
Speaker 8: Were number four.
Speaker 7: So they are a very injury prone team, and they're
over here trying to say science.
Speaker 3: YEA, I was gonna say, like, when you make you the.
Speaker 7: Experts right now, if you hire an independent side scientists
to do it, how do you know that the.
Speaker 3: Scientist isn't just trying to placate you.
Speaker 9: Whether the scientists said yes or no, they hired an
independent scientist. They believe that, at least partly, they wouldn't
have hired anybody if they didn't think there.
Speaker 4: Was I was a player on the same I'm hiring
my own sign. I'm getting a second opinion on this research.
I don't trust this guy, some weasel.
Speaker 3: Taylor's so fired over about this. He just broke his mic.
Speaker 4: Good for you look at this. Huh oh wow, No,
it's actually broke that's done this before. Fair enough. Well,
that's fascinating stuff. I hope that we can get another
scientist one because obviously it's true.
Speaker 7: Well, it's just it feels super shady to me when
an independent scientist is involved.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 4: That's like when an independent scientist is the person that
exposed it in the first place.
Speaker 7: Right, and what is he? A scientist? On substations specifically,
m former and current players said they'd always looked at
the nearby sub station and wondered whether the power lines
and electrical coils could have been having an adverse effect.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean you always like when your kids they're like, oh,
well the kid was raised under the power lines, right,
whatever that means, there's something to this.
Speaker 8: I got one here for you.
Speaker 9: I know you have been banging the drum for Garrett
Nels where to be drafted by the LA Rams. Bad
news for you, Matt, it may not happen. Now they
only have Kirk Cousins. I mean, uh, Matthew Stafford and
Stetson Bennett on the roster.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 9: Jimmy Garoppolo is a free agent tested his options yesterday.
Though Sean McVay was asked if they have interest in
bringing back Jimmy g He said, yeah, but there's another
option to look out for. It's for eagent quarterback Kirk Cousins.
He said, Kirk's as influential as anybody in helping me
get to LA in the first place. He said, I
know he has some other options, but he said, Jimmy
and Kirk are guys that we looked at that we
would love to be able to have with us. And
obviously McVeigh was on staff in Washington back in twelve
to sixteen before he became head coach. Kirk Cousins won
the starting quarterback job for the Redskins there, so there's
familiarity there. So maybe Kirk Cousins to the La Rams.
I don't know if that kills your Garrett Nosemayer to
the Rams, but hurt.
Speaker 4: I mean, it feels like Kirkson position is just kind
of like wait it out and wait till there's a
spot to go play and make an impact. But we'll
see see what happens. I'd still like him to go there.
He can learn from two vets. Why not. It's not
like he's gonna go play anywhere. You don't want Garrett
to go play anywhere. Immediately him to chill learn, give
it a good system. That's interesting, though, Kirk Cousins and Stafford.
Speaker 7: On the same Did y'all see the coach that punched
a referee out of youth seven?
Speaker 4: Did see? I saw the picture of it. He related
to Dan Hurling, like what are we doing? Guys? Like
football is not that serious.
Speaker 3: And it's like kids just pay Come on man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that reps knocked out cold and the guy had
his hands up like this.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the insane build. The guy that punched him insane build.
Speaker 4: Mm hmm yeah, all right, anything else real quick.
Speaker 9: Anthony Edwards missed the starting lineup last night. He missed
tip off and they called it nature call. So my
guy had some bathroom business to attend to his first
game back. He wound up having to come off the bench.
Bubble guts he did. He pulled out Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 4: Nice. All right, there it is crop us some sports
something we need to do a little bit more. Maybe
maybe it's like we get to where it's like kind
of rapid fire. I don't know. We're gonna masaging that
one out a little bit, but it's good to kind.
Speaker 8: Of nothing talking about some stuff.
Speaker 4: That's a great point. All right, Before we get a break,
I want to tell you about friends over at Tommy's
Tommy's windows, doors, siding. There we go. Yo, Tommy, that's right.
