Speaker 1: Frost All start to it.
Speaker 2: You want to presents off the bench with Jacob Hester
and T Bob Abert. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, off
the bench with Jacob Hester and Bob aber.
Speaker 3: I got to come off the bench.
Speaker 2: Now here's Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 4: Yo, what is going on?
Speaker 3: Guys? Welcome back live here at Radio Row at the
Super Bowl. Our coverage brought to you by Labert's bat
Rouge Hotel Casino. Shout out to Laber's for having us
out here. Been a ton of fun and right now
it is my pleasure to uh in person, get to
hang out with one of our favorite guests. Been a
key part of the show for many, many years now,
and that is Nick Underhill of New Orleans Football Nick
Underscore Underhill. For as long as I've known Nick Morning Person,
he's kind of like the cannon in that way. Morning
Person maybe hasn't been always the most apt descriptor. And
yet I texted this Morning's like, hey, bro, I know
you're set up by it. You canna be here in person?
He said, no, I think I'm gonna be there at
ten am. I said, you bit, And then next thing
I know and he said, you know what fine, I'll
get up, I'll get moving and here he is, Nick,
what's going on? Man? Hey man?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I couldn't coudn have it, couldn't let that stance,
you know, you got yeah one word cut to the swaw.
I was like, I gotta get up.
Speaker 3: But the funny part is I just said it as
a joke and then it actually worked and sha did
it coming up? Let's go so exciting time right now
going on in New Orleans souff football as there's a
ton going on with the New Orleans Saints. Uh, let's
start though before we get to maybe two Saints specific.
Last night? Was that is that technically Senior Bowl or
not senior roles? We were there last week Super Bowl
media day going down heard it was insane. Were like
twenty thousand people like in the public there, Like what
was it like last night? Yeah, it's gotten crazy.
Speaker 5: I mean that that used to just be like a
normal event for the media, like you would go to it.
It would just be middle of the day, people on
the field, people, a couple of people at the podium.
It's turned into a whole thing with there's a band playing,
there's a light show, there's the Mario Davis like yelling
things on a mic for reasons I didn't understand like
it has gotten crazy. But my favorite thing I think
about it is is afterwards, when you're leaving and you
kind of walk through, there's like a media holding area,
like everybody's eating and doing their work, and you look
around and there's like the freaks that were out there
that like had that whole body painted. Yeah, and there's
just like Blue Man sitting there in a corner by himself,
like his whole body painted like an avatar, like in
a corner, like eating some chicken. And it's just like,
you gotta have a lot of confidence to be able
to have to handle the aftermath of dressing up. To
ask Jalen Hurts a weird question, it is the beauty.
It is one of the best parts of any NFL Sunday,
And it's interesting. I think you actually see this more
in the NFL than you do college. But the super fan,
when he is removed from his natural environment, it would
be like seeing a literal bull.
Speaker 3: In a china shop. It's incongruous. Instead of being surrounded
by other people cheering on the team, when you see
him like at the stall taking him piss like like
like you see Whistleman and he's just walking in Like
it's just it's very odd when you see them out
of their their their kind of home environment. Uh.
Speaker 4: And and again, so I mentioned this convention city.
Speaker 3: The only time I've ever been here was for Comic Con,
you know, multiple years. I used to love to come
every I haven't been a couple of Needyki Star come back.
But uh, I'm always struck by how really all this
is is comic Con but for NFL nerds. And and
that's very much like the people who would have gone
to last night to pay So like so if you're
if you're going there as a public member, like what
are you You're just paying to to watch people answer questions?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't get the appeal like they pump in
some sound from a couple of the podiums, but yeah,
you're you're basically watching people in walk around like for
for an hour, Like I don't I don't.
Speaker 3: Understand it is it is NFL nerddom Yeah, the same
way that somebody's like, yeah, I waited two hours and
paid one hundred dollars to take a picture with chrisph
Lloyd or something which whatever. Shout out Michael, I love Kris,
but like, yeah, that that's exactly what that is. It's
just it's just nerd them, which I appreciate, and I
like whatever you're nerdy about, lean into that. Love it,
enjoy it. Snick yesterday on the McAfee show, Schefter saying
what y'all have reported on what everybody knew already, which
is that essentially Kellen Moore is going to be the
guy in New Orleans barring like a Billy Donovan s crying,
I actually don't want to do this sort of change
of heart. He will be the next head coach of
the New Orleans Saints. Well let's start here. I mean,
you you believe like that's that's that's the case.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we're we've been covering him for ten
days as if he's the head coach of the Saints.
If you go to our website, the last forty two
stories have Kellen Moore in the headline. If he's not
the head coach of the Saints, I will be absolutely shocked.
I think a lot of people will be absolute. He's
going to be the coach of the Saints, barring a disaster,
and if yesterday's headlines didn't create cold feet, and there's
no indication that it did. He's going to be he's
the head coach of the Saints, and look, they're trying
to play by the rules. It nobody's trying to have
what happened to Arizona. Yeah, when they hired again and
the last time, the last time the Eagles were in
the Super Bowl, they ended up losing I think a
third round pick because there was like improper contact or whatever.
The language is very, very careful. Mickey Loomis told all
the other candidates, we won't complete our process until after
the Super Bowl. Well, if it was Mike Kafka, if
it was Darren Rizzy, if it was Anthony Weaver, they
hire him today. Yeah, it's done. So they're waiting until then.
And then if you listen to Kellen Moore, it's, oh,
like we really like how the process is set up,
and then we can focus on the game and then
continue it after Like it wasn't not into it. He
had He said that line at least twelve times yesterday too.
I stood next one for about an hour and he
just kept saying that over and over. But yeah, Kellen
Moore is going to be the next coach of the
Saints barring a disaster, so.
Speaker 3: Well, I won't, Okay, give me and I'm sure if
I'm sure you're already working on it, have you started
to beautiful mind every breath that Kellen Moore has ever
taken up to this point, And how are we feeling?
For those that don't know, Nick always has It's one
of the best parts about Norms on football. He has deep,
deep dives where he'll be like, I looked at every
route run by this player over the past seven years
when it was inside the hashes, and here's what we
have revealed, right, So what has the deep dive? Like?
How are you feeling about Morris potential as a head coach? Yeah?
I like him.
Speaker 5: Look, I mean I think if you look at him
over the course of time, like there's been multiple different
offenses in Dallas, it was a lot of a lot
of past concepts and yeah, granted, like I think the
argument you can make against him there is it was
it was too cute, too creative to you know, all
those words people like to use.
Speaker 3: I've been calling him a fancy pants passing lad. That's
kind of what he was at the time.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great way to put it.
Speaker 3: It is. It is.
Speaker 5: It's a great way to put it, But it was
it was almost too much. And I think as you
go into Philadelphia the first couple of weeks of the season,
they kind of were leaning into that a little bit,
and he figured out what they had, Oh we got
Sae Kwon Barkley and these massive guys on the offensive line,
and they leaned into that. But the thing I like
most about him, I think is how he's kind of
helped Jalen Hurts deal with Blitzer. And I think as
you watched him earlier in his career, there was a
little bit of like panic in the pocket, not knowing
what to do, and is the Blitz comes like they
have designed kind of these safety net outlets that have
allowed him to kind of play with more confidence in
there and he just has he knows where he's going,
it's predetermined. Everything looks really well prepared, and they've been
able to lean into that. And I think I think
that ability to kind of blend with what you got
and kind of look at your players and say what
can I do for them and build around it. I
think it sounds so simple and it was kind of
the thing with Taysoa. When Kubiak came in, it was like,
why why weren't you just doing this? Like yeah, common sense,
it makes sense to do it. Oh, you have Chris
Alave and Rashid Chihid. You should be a really vertical team.
Why do you have Chris Alave running a crossing route
over the middle where he can take these like huge hits,
Like that isn't his game? And it seems like Kellen
Moore is a guy that can kind of lean into
that stuff and build off it. And he wasn't a
huge zone run scheme guy either. And then he gets
to Philly and you have these massive men that can
shop run for yes.
Speaker 3: And they lean into that and they do that.
Speaker 5: So I think he's just somebody that that's very adaptable,
and I think that's kind of probably what his identity
is as a coach, is someone that can just kind
of play to his talent. He's willing to sit into
these things. I'm sure he has his prototypes and all
this stuff he wants to do, but if those things
aren't available, he isn't trying to to jam Cedric Wilson
into a role. He's gonna find what works for him
and play off it. And I think that's what he's
gonna end up doing here. He seems really smart talking
to him for a while, you know, my big questions
about him were kind of his leadership, how he would
command a room. I think he's got enough personality. I
don't think he's somebody that's gonna come out and be
like Rizsier or Dan Campbell or anything like that. But he,
you know, Kevin O'Connell isn't that type of person either,
and and it can work. He had an explanation for everything.
He seemed well put together.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: I know with the player like Alvin Kamaro that that
that you know he's gonna ask you forty five questions
about every single thing about why you want this split
on this play. And he feels like a person that's
gonna be able to answer those things. And I think
if he can, he's gonna be able to win over
this room. I like the idea of it. I'm not
I'm not convinced on anything. I'm not saying it's the
right choice, but I think that he has a chance
to be a good coach here.
Speaker 3: Well look, you you went, you went, offensivef corn defensive.
Speaker 4: What do you think is is is good.
Speaker 3: You went young, which is uh as it brings a
certain freshness with it. It's got a bit of the
lottery ticket sort of potential. The problem is we had
somebody in Mobile described us as a saint ob is
maybe the worst in ten years, which you know, maybe
a bit hyperbolic, but because bad cap aged roster, not
a lot of to draft capital, like you know, not
like a great, big, no real quarterback plan, and so
it's just he's almost walking into a situation where it's like,
if he does have success, you need to great him
on a curve and score him even higher because he's
walking into a really bad spot when it comes to quarterback. Though,
do we have any inklings, guesses or insight as to
maybe where he's leaning there?
Speaker 5: He went out of his way to give Derek Carr compliment. Okay,
yeah he So there was a game a man I
don't know his last year he was a senior and
Boise beat Fresnel fifty seven to seven I believe was
the score of that game.
Speaker 3: Colin Morris, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We were talking
about it. We were talking about it earlier on the
show today.
Speaker 5: So he got asked about it, and like a crazy
he it seems seemed like he was like, Okay, I
got a chance to kind of say something nice about
Derek here. So it was like, yeah, we killed him
and put man Derek Carr. Great, great career, great pro
great this great that.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: I think like theoretically, you know, if we pulled up
the salary cap, you can get rid of them, but
you can't do anything else. I think it makes a
lot more sense to kind of if you're going to
clean up your cap to get rid of the old guys,
and then a year from now Derek Carr goes, and
it's kind of a two step process, you know. I
don't think you walk into this situation and just want
to get rid of Derek Carr and then you can't
do anything else. But I'm fine with either direction, honestly,
Like I'm fine with going completely in the tank, getting
a higher pick, getting rid of them, and going that way.
But I would be surprised if that's the way they go.
I think it's probably more likely Kim Jordan pay cut.
See if Tyron's still worth it, see if the Mario's
still worth it. I think he is maybe clean up
some of that other stuff, eat some cap and then
get rid of car a year from now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's it's the funny thing about car Man, Right,
I've never seen a player where the public perception versus
the actual NFL guys are so at odds with one another. Right.
The public perception remains that Derek Carr sucks, He's absolutely off. Well,
everybody in the NFL is like, ah, he's actually like
he's actually pretty good.
Speaker 4: You know, he's not great, but he's like pretty good.
I mean he is.
Speaker 3: He is the NFL Mendoza line here, quarterback is better
than Derek Carr. You're probably actually happy with him. And
if he's worse than Derek Carr, then you want to
run him out of time. You're done. And he is
just living in that in between. It was the Cousin's line,
and he kind of yeah, true, he kind of took
he took it from Cousins. Yeah, although I do take
a lot of petty pleasure in watching the exact same
thing happened to the Atlanta Falcons, Like maybe the only
difference is that like it feels like maybe Pinnix is
going to end up being pretty good, but who knows, like,
like what what what? How do they feel about Rattler internally?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think people like him, but it's
it's kind of the same thing that Look, there's a
lot of a lot more people talking now because everybody's gone, yeah, like.
Speaker 4: It's the same, it's the same.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the same feeling I think we have about
him out here as that man. There were some really
good things in but like on the flip side, there's
no way of knowing, and yeah, what the hell was
going on? Like for whatever reason, he lost his call
in the second half of games and he just couldn't
keep it going.
Speaker 3: You know, there's a lot of talk about.
Speaker 5: You know, the second half of the season two with Kobiak,
like that maybe the players weren't necessarily like the system
kind of you know, there were a lot of hits,
there was a lot of injuries, a lot of things
weren't working, and there was like just there's maybe a
little bit of like you know, buying early that wasn't
there late, So some of that's kind of happened.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's the case with Ratler.
Speaker 5: Obviously he would have been all in with it, but
you know, I think there was just some frustration with
that offensive system, and it was the same things we
were talking about, like, wow, like why don't they have
a counter punch for anything in the second half of games?
And now you're in the second half of these games
and the players you're kind of feeling the same way
week after week after week, and I don't think you
can keep going out there and doing the same things
and not having answers for things that are fairly obvious problems.
And you know, so I'll be interested to see him
get a chance in another system, you know. And the
thing with Carl like, yeah, I think I think there
are a lot of people around the league that view
him as, you know, twentieth best guy. I think the
problem with Derek Carr and the problem that I have
with him is that I think there's kind of some
protection of self out there when he plays, and there's
just been so much criticism on him over the years.
Speaker 3: That I get it.
Speaker 5: But there are plays where you watch him and it's,
you know, second in four to go for a touchdown
and he'll throw the ball away and it's just.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, like what do you what are you doing here?
Speaker 5: Like he's he's the numbers are great, the quarterback rating
is great, the interceptions are down. Like it's it's counterintuitive
kind of to look at it and say, like, well,
you know, I wish he threw a couple more picks,
but I wish Derek car would be willing to throw
a couple more picks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, it's not.
Speaker 3: I mean it's it's not unlike to bring back what
else you fans will remember like two years ago with
Jadeen Daniels, that was the entire thing. Like even Brian
Keller's like, we just we need him to like protect
about lil less, Yes, like I take a little take
it just be be will to take a few more shots,
a few more risks if he's really gonna maximize what
he can be. Uh, Nick, you alluded to earlier yesterday's story,
and if that story wasn' gonna scare of killing more
than likely nothing would we talked about it at length earlier.
Our takeaway again is, look, it's it's why would you
get involved? I mean, I understand because it's your church
and you you want to, but just it's not smart too.
I know. Look, when you're in crisis, communications like being
offense attorney. You're just gonna have to you defend evil
stuff like it's it's it's it is the literal name.
Whatever do you. I guess my question to you is
does this have any lasting impact? Roger Goodell was very
much on the same side yesterday, saying, we don't think
there's anything more than an advisory role. We kind of
keeping it moving. Do you think there's any lasting impact
on the franchise here?
Speaker 5: It's a bad look, it's a terrible look, and I
think it's something that'll, you know, it's always gonna get
brought up to, you know, when people want to discredit
them and everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Look like i get being Catholic and everything. I'm I'm
at Saint Steven's every Sunday, but like the church could
offer me the biggest bag of money to help them
with this situation, and I would say, no, thanks.
Speaker 3: Well that's the other thing, right, They weren't paid though,
for this, Yeah you know what I mean?
Speaker 5: Like, yeah, my dude, Like I just I feel like
if this happens, like if it were my mind, that
would be more understandable in a way.
Speaker 3: If it was like, oh, well they offered a giant
bag and we had but no, that was this was
benzel on behalf of his boss, basically giving over his
time for free.
Speaker 5: You just got to say no though, Like if it's
my my brother comes mem hey, man, I'm like, good
luck with that, man, I mean, you know, but yeah, look,
I think it's just I think it's a pr hit.
I don't think there's going to be you know, I
think Roger Roger made it pretty clear yesterday once once
he kind of you know, dismissed it, brush it under
the rug, Like there was some thought, are they gonna lose.
Speaker 3: A draft pick anything like that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, nothing, you know, I thought there might be maybe
some blowback on that front, just because like this story
comes out on the first day of the celebration of
the league and you're sty he and once he pooh
pooed it, it was just kind of over. So yeah,
I think it's I think it's just kind of look
and it's been attached to their name for like five
years now, so I just think it comes back and
then in a time where everything's down and people are
mad and all that stuff, I think it's just a
terrible look and that's just really all it's gonna end
up being. You know, it's just it's just crazy, like
it's football, Like football shouldn't intersect with with these types
of things. Yeah, and it's just crazy to get involved
in it.
Speaker 3: It's also a lot of money and a lot of power,
and where those two things coincide, uh, there's always a
lot of potential for nastiness. Yeah, and and and and drama.
So well, Nick, thank you so much man. New Orleans
and Football guys, they tell you every single week. I'm
a proud subscriber. The team does an incredible job of
covering this team inside out. If you want to know
everything about Kellen Moore, about the Saints' current caps situation,
the off season, the upcoming draft, it's all at New
Orleans of Football, go subscribe today.
Speaker 4: Nick. Thank you so much, man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, congrats on U. You know number seven? Yeah, yeah, yes,
we're gonna get the number one there. Move it on
up slowly, but I think we've gone from thirteen to
nine to seven. So I did that.
Speaker 4: As long as you're not.
Speaker 3: Moving backwards where we are, we're in a good spot.
You just got to tell the judge there are some
bs and THEE. They'll give you that number one. It works.
That's so did we gotta fa I mean apparently though
Moscona our own program director vote voted Mac and Cube
number one. Freaking ho dude, all right, when we get
back more.
Speaker 2: Off the Bench, Off the Bench, Off the Bench with
Hester and T Bob Live from Super Bowl fifty nine
Radio Row in New Orleans, presented by Low Bears, Casino Hotel,
Baton Rouge.
Speaker 4: Hey, what's up y'all?
Speaker 3: Welcome back OTV live on Radio Row. Here's the super Bowl.
Shout out to Laverage Hotel Casino.
Speaker 4: Just sir, dude, watch up.
Speaker 3: Guys. Pinabada tries to come to say anything to me,
I'm just gonna say, hey, you're talking to the number
seven mid market local morning sports talk show. According to
One Outlet's opinion, relax, guys, Okay, hey, I wanted to
OTB mail bag here a bit later than we normally
do it. Uh So go ahead and get your questions
in the bud for dot YouTube, dot com, slash one
of four five ESPN and want into him here a
second also shout out Labert's Casino Hotel for sponsoring our
coverage of the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: Very excited to be here and shout out for them
spotor Senior Bowl.
Speaker 3: Last week been a very interesting, very fun couple of weeks,
going to continue to only get more fun as this
week goes on. Larry McCain, it says, the timing to
the scandal scory, which was scandal story, which is old news,
the timing seems sinister to me. Well, look, to be clear,
there were new developments, right, the new developments being that
the messages uncovered about the New Orleans Saints allegedly editing
the list of offenders that was put out there and
maybe removing names whatnot. So there's a new wrinkle. But yeah, look,
timing is part of this, without a doubt. That's just
how the business works. It's Super Bowl, it's in New
Orleans Saints. Of the four interaction is how profit is generated.
It's one of the maybe uglier parts of kind of
journalism for profit. But it doesn't change the story right
or the facts of the story. But anyway, all right,
uh oh, tob Mail, Okay, actually, let's do this. Let's
do this. Let's we still have a tat the anvil
story of the day. They get you for now, let's
go and dive ind just to be mail big.
Speaker 5: I help this special delivery the best and look it
is marked most urgent.
Speaker 3: Writing to you Internet? What the is the Internet?
Speaker 2: All? Right?
Speaker 3: Here we go, Christal says has to go to your mailbag.
Are you wearing that sweater every day this week? No? Unfortunately, guys,
it's it's just too damn hot. You know, I had.
I had an awesome sweater season, even this Sunday rock
in the collar dress shirt underneath the sweater, the Dad sweatter,
the Cosby sweater. It's been a great run. But if
I were to wear it this week, I would spontaneously combust.
Speaker 4: I would be sweating my ass off.
Speaker 3: That's that's why I took off this blazer for a
for basically half the show. Day. Finally cooled off a
little bit, but I was starting to sweat. It's no
no sweater day, even though don't let it get cold. Okay,
if we drop a low fifty Cosby sweaters coming back
in a second, But no, not right now. Let's see
uh hash OTB mail bag, that's the only question.
Speaker 4: Yeah, jeez, what a disaster of a segment.
Speaker 6: This is my problem, OTB mail bag. What has been
your favorite thing about being on radio row at the
Super Bowl so far?
Speaker 3: Uh? Thank you?
Speaker 4: Elandra good safe, you know.
Speaker 3: For me, I don't know, it just kind of feeling
the energy, looking around, seeing the different outlets, seeing how
other places do things. But a Landra, you spent much
more time here yesterday and much made much more content
here yesterday, So I think you're better suited to answering
this question.
Speaker 4: What has been your favorite part of.
Speaker 3: Radio Row thus far?
Speaker 6: I have to agree with you, Like the vibe is great,
and just like the thought of, like, oh, I'm on
Radio Row at the super Bowl is super exciting. But yeah,
I mean all the little setups that they have, like
Bounty has this thing where you can throw footballs through
targets or whatever. Yeah, they just have like a really
good setup out there.
Speaker 3: But I'm just so.
Speaker 6: Excited and I'm waiting and I'm ready for the Pat
McAfee show to show up.
Speaker 4: So wait, were they not here yesterday?
Speaker 3: No, They're not going to.
Speaker 6: Be there till Wednesday.
Speaker 4: Oh so this set is just set up all.
Speaker 3: Day for what?
Speaker 6: Well, they were still setting it up yesterday too, so
I think that they're just still working on it.
Speaker 3: Be clear, the logistics of the McAfee studio setup is
actually insane. I mean, they have recreated a full TV
studio here in the middle of the convention store is center.
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm getting like behind the scenes.
Speaker 3: Look at Hollywood with the scaffolding that they've erected and
everything to hold everything up.
Speaker 4: Has to go to be mailbag.
Speaker 3: What cheese blend are you putting in your mac and cheese?
Speaker 4: I don't really have a go to.
Speaker 3: Obviously Cheddar's going to be in there, probably some white
American as well. After that. I mean I could go
with day Thro's some Gouda in there. Hell yeah, I
don't think a bree makes sense, right, I like my
soft cheese is more in a charcoonery sort of setting.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, really anything, dude.
Speaker 3: You know, if it's a grilled cheese or it's maga cheese,
you just combine whatever cheese you want, doesn't matter. It's
freaking cheese, guys. You know, it literally triggers. I'm pretty
sure I'm not making this up, but maybe I'm pretty
sure that cheese triggers like the same portait as of
your brain that like drug addiction does and whatnot, has
to go to. Mayback would see about eating in Nola tonight.
I will not be eating in Nola tonight. I've been
driving back. We got Pink Panda's first practice a new
soccer season tonight, so I'll be there. I think I'm
gonna start staying in town maybe Wednesday or Thursday. That said,
Taylor did tell me about a hole in the wall
Chinese place in the French Quarter that I would love
to get to eventually. But yesterday I just stopped and
got a po boy somewhere and it was great.
Speaker 7: So the place I was telling you about, it's on
Decatur in Fringe Quarter. I believe it's pretty announce the
dens in. I look this up one time. I think
that's how you pronounced it. It's spelled kind of weird, phenomenal.
Some of the best Chenniese food I've ever had.
Speaker 3: Has to go to a mail bag. If your aura
had a color, what would it be? Amber?
Speaker 4: Uh, maybe like a purple or.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm telling you sure teal.
Speaker 4: I don't know.

So yeah, rivs A Lodgers said it. What was your
favorite part of yesterday being out here amongst radio row.
Speaker 1: I think just seeing all the people show up yesterday.
Speaker 8: I guess we were on and we were here by ourselves.
It felt like for most of the show, but then
around like nine or ten people have started to trickle in.
And then even today, about an hour ago people started
to trickle in. So every day it's getting a little earlier,
but it just feels exciting.
Speaker 3: Dude. The energy is palpable. You can tell that the
entire world is descending upon this tiny little city of ours,
and I just cannot fathom the fever pitch it's going
to reach by Sunday, Guys, remind me about main of it.
Ban Rouge main Eviv band Rouge is your main place
for fun if you want to go play, so do
some professional level bowling. We got multiple lanesville. We got
a multi level laser tag arena. Are you a kidding me?
You got tons of arcade games, got the gravity ropes, courts,
got great food, great drinks, and if you mention off
the bench, you get an all you can play thirty
minute game card for free. Okay, so go ahead and
mintion you do TB get that game card and then
you buy an hour. All of a sudden, your kids
are chilling for like two hours. Dude, have a great time,
and the food's great, drinks great newly rise men. You remember,
we get dedicated party planners on standby, ready to go.
If it's like a birthday party, sales party, whatever, go
to main event, baton rouge.
Speaker 4: All right, Tata, it is time for an NFL Story
of the Day.
Speaker 3: Day.
Speaker 2: It's time for Tata's NFL Story of the Day day.
You're daily dose of NFL news from Taylor Sharp.
Speaker 7: All right, So we got two big potential trades that
are probably going to happen. On defen and reigning Defensive
Player of the Year Miles Garrett has officially requested a
trade from the Cleveland Browns. Look, he said, I love
this city. I've caught it my home for many years.
This was the team that drafted me. But my desires
to win a Super Bowl and play on the biggest
stages that can't allow me to be complacent. Just doesn't
think it's in Cleveland.
Speaker 3: Shocker.
Speaker 7: He doesn't think he could win a Super Bowl in Cleveland.
Speaker 3: There's some breaking news for us.
Speaker 7: Also, somebody who did not request a trade, but looks
like they're going to be traded. Nonetheless, the Los Angeles
Rams have informed Cooper Cup that they will be seeking
a trade immediately. Cup actually went to social media yesterday
he said, I don't agree with this decision. I always
believed it was going to begin and end in the
City of LA. He did thank the City of LA
and the Rams. They obviously had that Super Bowl run together.
So two big name players about to be on the
trading block, Cooper Cup and Miles Garrett.
Speaker 3: And Miles Garrett, yeah and opposite into the spectrum. As
you said, Garrett, force me out. Cooper got to being
pushed out. Uh. The Garrett thing is one of the
funniest things I've ever read, because although he tries to
soften the blow, he's basically just like, look, Cleveland really sucks,
like not the city, like the Browns, Like the Browns
really suck.
Speaker 1: Cleveland's really cool.
Speaker 3: I gotta win.
Speaker 4: I I think, okay.
Speaker 1: I'm a defending Cleveland I'm a Cleveland defender.
Speaker 3: I'm a bit of a Cleveland defender. Not that I
know anything about the city, but like we live in
ban Rouge, right, Sure Cleveland's again. I mean, he's got
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it's got other
cool stuff going on. Like, I don't know, man, I'm
not trying to throw stones out of glasshouses. So I've been.
I've been to Cleveland. It sucks. You went for a
bachelor party.
Speaker 1: He's like, I've been once. It sucks.
Speaker 3: I don't trust whatever. I don't trust Taylor's opinion. I
am sure that Cleveland's great. I'm sure the Cleveland's great.
I've never been, but I pray to you it's not
that bad. But the Browns are there, absolut garbage. And
as Miles Garrett at his statement, you know he I
think he said, you go from like Cleveland to Canton
was never the goal. He wants to win championships and
obviously that's never going to happen with the Browns on.
Speaker 4: The Cooper Cup Cup front.
Speaker 3: Taylor, is this just uh what is this just Puka
and him getting you know, in younger guys, like, what's
going on here?
Speaker 7: I mean, you could say that, but like I kind
of thought Puka had a shot to be a flash
in the pan. And I mean he had, you know,
almost nine hundred receiving yards this year. He missed a
couple of games, but Pook only had three touchdowns. I mean,
I'm not sure he's there their number one either. Cooper
Cup is under a big contract. He's thirty two now,
he's been hurt for two years in a row. I
think they're just it's time to move on from him.
They're probably looking to get younger, see if they can
get anything out of Matthew Stafford before he retires. Look,
there are a lot of teams out there that could
use a Cooper Cup, though one of them is in
Black and Gold in the City.
Speaker 3: You guys are in true Do we think it's Cooper
Cup's face at all? I've never really been a lot
of face talk. I know Cooper Cup face card, to
be honest, he's got kind of and look, I'm not
want to talk glass houses as they just mentioned, because
I used to have this way harder than Cooper. But
he's got a little bit of like the the the
Mormond Beard going on with a tight mustache. I don't
think he has veneers, but he looks like a little bit.
His teeth I feel a little too big for his mouth.
He's a base though, don't get me wrong, absolute dog.
But I just wonder if the Cooper cup faces is
some reason is but.
Speaker 1: Looks that he doesn't have the big beard.
Speaker 3: No, No, he looks better without the beard. I mean,
I mean, I don't know. Whatever he's jacked, it works.
Speaker 8: Yes, I think the beard is like it. It looks
it looks like it needs to be.
Speaker 3: He just cleaned up a little bit. Maybe it was
a playoff beard. Playoff beard too tight?
Speaker 1: You know about that?
Speaker 3: I know, I know, te Bob. Where is Ohio? It
is up north? And I'm gonna say, shockingly, in what
I've learned in doing this show, I'm gonna say Ohio
is actually northeast of us. Is that true?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: I mean yes, right east, not west. I think so,
even though we call the midwest. Yeah, I'm saying it taxi.
Speaker 1: Northeast because Illinois is right above us, right.
Speaker 3: I think so it's crazy a chef's hat or something apparently,
So not to look, I'm right, says Londer, Thank you,
launch so look not to brag but I'm learning, guys,
I'm a work in progress. Okay, we have never write.
I love Daniel's suggestion for the desk and a landra.
This should be on you because I know you love
these things. We need to get plants. We just need
to get a ton of plants. Just go full Gallifanakis
between two ferns and just have two giant ferns on
others either side of us.
Speaker 1: Look to me to defend the beads. For a moment,
broughted it.
Speaker 8: I did, but after every after Marty Gral every year
and after Saint Patrick's Day, I just throw all the
beads away.
Speaker 1: I can't handle it. It's all over my house.
Speaker 3: Got to know, what are you supposed to do? And
we held on to him for years, But then you.
Speaker 8: Our school takes donations of them. I'll send them off,
but I just I don't want them.
Speaker 1: In my house.
Speaker 8: But we went to a Marty girl ball this weekend
and I brought these home from that ball, and so
like that's all I had. And I was like, I
don't know, I feel like some beads would be fun,
but I didn't think about.
Speaker 1: How it would just be the.
Speaker 3: Three beads it's like when you go and you look,
they light up. It's like when something gets advertised it's
a well lit room. It's tough, but it's like have
you ever ridden on a ride or gone to a movie theater?
The advertises the four D experience.
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't know what that means.
Speaker 3: Whenever you're supposed to get wet because they can't like
show they like they just kind of like you or
like missed you, like and it's just like a couple
of droplets hit you. This is the four D experience
right here. You're just getting spit on a little bit,
like like, Okay, sure, I guess, I guess technically technically yes, technically,
but not really functionally.
Speaker 4: All right, ask the bench. Uh wait a.

fitness instructor.
Speaker 3: Okay, instructor?
Speaker 8: Yeah, but yeah, no, I mean yeah educated. It would.
It would make you stronger, it would help with the
cardiovascular stuff.
Speaker 1: It's like carrying your own weight.
Speaker 8: It's like when people like to clean their house with
like weights on their wrists or ankles or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's just that additional weight.
Speaker 3: I always wanted to I always wanted to get those
shoes that were weighted, that were supposed to help your
fort a ton, right. I used to read about them
in Slam magazine. Be all these guys like I was
five ten and couldn't even hit the rim and now
I'm throwing down tomahawks. But I never ended up going
through with it. I could dunk in high school, though
I can't do it anymore.
Speaker 4: Lost it?
Speaker 1: Wait, you don't think you could dunk right now?
Speaker 4: No? No, I can't.
Speaker 1: You're very tall though, six three.
Speaker 3: You got to actually be able to jump at six
three to dunk, and I could. I used to be
able to. I'm a tall legg fair but but like
with the tall act, but well it's more like six
three and a half. But I'll get myself a rounding up. Uh,
but but no, I mean look, I used to be
I have an eye right out like a thirty in
firt and so like I could jump, but no, like
once I got no, I'm too old now I don't
have the explosion anymore.
Speaker 1: Could you ever dunk?
Speaker 2: Hunt?
Speaker 3: Okay, huh you could done? Bruh.
Speaker 1: That feels like a little too much shocked.
Speaker 3: I know it's just a casual bro how Okay, Yeah,
I'm shocked because Hunt? How tall are you?
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. Six foot duncan? Like Dad is up?
Speaker 3: Dude? What'd you jump like a thirty six?
Speaker 8: Damn dude, Landre, you will be sad to know that
the people have stolen our work table. They've shown up,
but you can't steal their internet anymore or their power.
Speaker 3: Uh. Kate is so good on this board hashtag.
Speaker 1: The Larger Things You're lying?
Speaker 3: Hunt, brought to you by cool Ker's Life Visia or
to blame me like Street, I believe Hunt because of
a his love of basketball and buh he didn't answer
it in some sort of like it was very run
of the mill way, like yeah, I could also high
school man. It's a different time, you know, which is
why again, Goodwood, if you want to feel like that again.
Speaker 4: All right, asked the bench.
Speaker 3: Uh do y'all miss when you weren't big time and
you weren't top twenty show. No, no, I did not,
asked the bench. My kids school has a field trip
to the aquarium right now? Bad planning or great planning
during Super Bowl? No, I disagree.
Speaker 8: Not that I think the aquarium would be fine and fun.
I just think the navigating around the city right now
is a little challenging.
Speaker 4: It is a little challenging.
Speaker 8: So I think bringing a bus full of children to
New Orleans right now is probably a little challenge.
Speaker 3: That said, a school day zoo or aquarium, even at
a time like this, is always a good place because
nobody's going to be there. Like, it's not going to
be full. The city is full, the aquarium will not
be I was actually trying to go to the zoo today.
Speaker 4: But it was closed. Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, I think that. But I do think that people
are going to start to get here. Right now.
Speaker 8: I think it's just media, but soon people will start
to get to New Orleans and they will do this
like toward the aquarium and go.
Speaker 3: To the zoo. I'm thinking about a Thursday zoo day,
which may be flying a little close to the sun,
but I'm very excited about it. Uh, asked the bench,
is Blake Lively guilty? I don't know what we're talking about.
I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure.
Speaker 8: I mean, I.
Speaker 1: Don't know.
Speaker 8: I at first was like, oh wow, it's it's this
is like really problematic. And now I'm wondering if she
is a little bit also in the wrong.
Speaker 3: Interesting. I know a little bit of this drama, but
not enough where I should weigh in. Yeah, ask the bench.
Can rivers exclaim Bake Lively soccer tomorrow? Maybe Friday?
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 3: By the way, guys, we are definitely doing champagne shanks.
Speaker 1: I I was gonna ask, do you think that we're allowed?
Speaker 3: No, but we're gonna put the champagne under the table
or are we just putting cups that's what I mean,
and port under. But I'm saying, like literally, not like
having all they like port under the table.
Speaker 1: What if I just sabered the champagne right here?
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly. I mean, I yes, I'm.
Speaker 1: Into that security and we're look.
Speaker 3: We're boys with the State troopers. To be fair, those
are those are prom but.
Speaker 1: We have to we have to put everything through a monitor.
