Speaker 1: With Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn say Hester and Hester
got it five little pot from carrying each other to
a natty to carrying each other on the air.
Speaker 2: Were there's prop control for the.
Speaker 1: Live from the Raising Caine studio.
Speaker 3: It's off the bench, all right, welcome back our number
three off the bench.
Speaker 2: You're just joining us. You missed the missed quite the
show so Farlandre cannot control herself right now. She's laughing
hysterically because your cheeks hurt.
Speaker 1: Yet.
Speaker 4: All right, I'm gonna get it together. It's started spelling
it out.
Speaker 2: Paul Tuxi, phil using Philip is awesome. I think.
Speaker 4: Pau TUXI feel like that is some of your best work.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 4: That and the finger point my favorite.
Speaker 2: I mean, Posatani is not a normal word.
Speaker 4: To say you nailed it?
Speaker 2: Nailed it? Do we even know what that? That's a
I don't even want to speculate, but I'm pretty sure
it's Is it not a city?
Speaker 4: I think it is?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, it would be a good name for a
cross dresser.
Speaker 1: Drag me.
Speaker 5: Oh lordy, I don't know if you're supposed to say
that anymore.
Speaker 2: Canceled rupol still got the show.
Speaker 4: Drag.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, that one's okay. Yeah, I can say that.
Speaker 4: It's a dragon.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I mean.
Speaker 4: You're out of touched.
Speaker 2: Whatever makes you happy?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Do you.
Speaker 2: You have been following the Pro Bowl news?
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 2: There's nothing I could have said there. Oh, I'm gonna
make you laugh for sure. Did y'all see that Joe
Burrow got added too?
Speaker 4: No, but I saw that Shador did.
Speaker 2: Okay, so Shador got added. So I just kind of
wanted to like highlight this because while of course we're
all happy for any success, so Joe Burrow has being
a Tiger, it does kind of highlight the craziness that
is the NFL Pro Bowl and how it just doesn't
need to be anymore. It doesn't like Pro Bowl doesn't
hold the weight that it used to. There used to
be like all these incentive based escalators in a contract,
you make a Pro Bowl here and there, you you know,
you get you know whatever, you get a bonus. Well,
it didn't hold that weight anymore. Joe Burrow gets added,
which is fantastic, But Joe Burrow hurt himself in the
second game of the season and missed nine games. Then
he comes back and he you know, plays well. But
to say that Joe Burrow was a Pro Bowler this
year is pretty wild. And Shaudor Sanders a Pro Bowler,
and so the AFC Joe Burrow, Shadeur Sanders, and Joe Flacco.
Guess what that means. That means the Bengals and the
Browns each have two quarterbacks in the Pro Bowl this
year for its aim to have two Pro Bowl quarterbacks.
It's pretty wild. Of course, Joe Flacco started for the
Browns and he started for the Bengals, and he is
in the Pro Bowl. So I saw this and it
just kind of made me laugh that the Browns and
the Bengals have two quarterbacks each and they share, of
course Joe Flacco. But like, it's a crazy that we
live in a world where a quarterback can miss nine
games due to injury and still come back and make
a Pro Bowl. Now it is. Of course, they weren't
like the first picks, any of them, Josh Allen Drake
may justin Herbert or the original selections. But it makes
you think, like, were these selections even like the fourth, fifth,
and sixth, No.
Speaker 6: They had to be way down. They know Trevor Lawrence
turned it down for sure, treffor Lawrence. Okay, Drake couldn't
make it. Josh Allen and Bonex both had surgery on
their foot.
Speaker 2: Okay, So that's five Mahomes out of acl. I mean,
Mahomes makes it over. Chaudere Sanders got to and you're
sitting had a down year. But what was it? Ten touchdowns,
fourteen interceptions I think.
Speaker 6: From Shador uh seven and ten seven touchdowns ten for reference,
Joe Burrow who missed nine games, seventeen touchdowns, five interceptions.
Speaker 2: It's actually a good season.
Speaker 6: And now Chador eighteen point nine QB ar not terrible.
It's the worst in Brown's history. Yeah, no, it's not good.
It's the worst in Brown's history. Is the worst in
Cleveland Brown's history. That might be's biggest accomplishment this year
if you think about how hard that is to do.
Speaker 2: There's no way it is eighteen point nine QB. Yep,
it's pro bowler guys, Sador Sanders, Joe Flacco, Joe Burrow.
Your twenty twenty five AFC Pro Bowl roster. Now, the
NFC is a lot better at the quarterback position. It
is Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott, Jared Goff Now are those
were those the best three? No, Jared Goff was in
the top of all the passing categories. He was at
least in the top ten, the top five, and most
of them at one point had like a seventy three
or seventy four percent completion percentage, like more than halfway
through the season. So what he did was incredible. Dak
had his probably best year as a professional football player.
Would you agree with that, Taylor? I know you've watched
a lot of Dak and you hate Dak. Yeah, statistically, yeah,
he had us best year probably. Now he had his
best help, certainly with George Pickens and Ceedee Lamb both
on the Pro Bowl as well, and Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts,
I mean, I don't know. He definitely wouldn't have been
He probably wasn't in the top five in the NFC.
And if he was definitely five. Do you know of
anybody else that turned it down in the NFC?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: No, really, Stafford, Stafford and Darnold certainly, right, No.
Speaker 6: Because it's just like the AFC, the injuries alone, right,
guys that literally cannot go out there, because like even Lamar,
even Lamar wasn't healthy.
Speaker 2: Most of the season. Someone's in chat said that the
Pro bowls like NFL version of rotten tomatoes. It is
who's passionate in the chat right now? Oh Golf South
about rotten tomatoes?
Speaker 6: Uh huh. Never seen him like this, he's fired up
about it in arms. No, people are talking about trying
to save the Pro Bowl and everything. Why don't we
just go back to playing it after the Super Bowl?
That's what it always was, and then about what ten
years ago, they moved it before the Super Bowl, So
any of the players in the Super Bowl didn't participate
in anything like that play after it used to be
after every year it was in Hawaii. It's full contact.
Like I enjoyed that, right.
Speaker 2: I just I'd like to live in a world where
if you're saying I'm pro bowler so and so, that
that means something. Right, So if you're saying, like Joe Flacco,
he probably didn't think that he was the top three
quarterback in the AFC. Neither would Shador Neither with Joe.
Now it's a good thing, but like they always have
pro bowler by their name now forever. You can't take
that away, which is a cool thing for them, but
it doesn't mean anything anymore. They just need to get
rid of the games, get rid of Pro Bowl. And
I get it. The games are are fun. I'd rather
watch the games, I guess, than the actual like the
like the passing games, like the fun games and the
actual Pro Bowl game where they didn't tackle anybody and
they just kind of held each other up. That was
a waste of time. And I guess it has to
make money in some form of passion, but I can't
imagine that it makes a lot of money. I can't imagine.
I don't know of anybody that sits down there and
just like consumes the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 6: Would even even last year, wasn't it like an indoor facility?
Like I didn't watch it, but I saw a highlight
of like Justin Jefferson one handed catch or something. It
looked like it was in an indoor facility. Like there
wasn't any in person fans, Right you do it?
Speaker 2: At this point, yeah, I would almost rather see they
just like the NFL Award show. It just make the
announcement there. These are the top three. This is Pro
Bowl Team one, Team two, Team three, kind of like
an All American list. This is like a this is
the All Pro list and you get a first team,
second team, third team, and they make that announcement during
like the award show and they have everybody there. I
think almost that would bring a little bit more more
energy to that award show. But that award show was it?
What is it?
Speaker 1: This?
Speaker 2: It's Wednesday, this week, you know honors? I mean, just
do that, like the Pro Bowl is is so? But anyway,
I guess congratulations to Joe Burrow though mixed Pro Bowl.
He was out nine games with injury, but when he
was in there, he's good. I mean, seventeen to five
is it's pretty good? What seventeen to five is? It's
very good? No, it's it's extremely good. But again, just
to say how the Pro Bowl doesn't anything like you
should probably play more than half the games in a
season to be able to make it. Anyway, Oh I
did see, Speaking of like All Star stuff, Lebron James
made the All Star Game twenty two out of twenty
three seasons, I believe, or twenty one out of twenty
two seasons. Get selected. Again, it's pretty good. Anybody following that. Yeah,
it's a reserve. He as a reserve. Yeah, he's not
a starter.
Speaker 6: So that that streak into he was a starter for like,
I don't know, I mean probably around that time as well,
Brownie James did not make the Pro Bowl, I mean
Star Game. I don't believe that probably should have. You
guys are funny in the chat.
Speaker 2: By the way, Hey, if you're listening to us right
now and you just you're at the office and you're
just listening, come watch us. Come joy, come and gauge
in this chat. We're gonna we are going to a
little bit later on in the show. Towards the end,
we'll have our Ask the Bench segment. We'll take questions.
We're gonna make sure that we stay on time, and
we make sure that that's a full segment, so we
get a full segment Ask the Bench at the end
of this hour. We're gonna go to break. Now, when
we come back, we will do a little weekend Winners
and loses right here, Off the bench, Off the bench.
All right, the weather that had been great, it's been
cold got you down. You've been having to sit at
the house a little bit. Well, maybe it's time to
pop open a nice bottle of do Sekis or can
whatever you prefer. Make sure you go for dose. There's
always a great time to have a beer. There's all
sorts of delicious beers. There's a Friday beer, there's an
airport beer, there's a weekend beer. You name it. There's
always a great time. But if you're gonna do it,
and we're living South Louisiana, look, we all like to
have a little beer every now and then, we all
like to have a little dope beverage. Make sure you
do it responsibly. When you do do it, make sure
you do it with the best beer around. The delicious
Gold Mexican Lager. They got the Amber especially out, they
got the Mischellattas, they got something for every single taste.
But so prep for the week, prep for the weekend.
Make sure you're stalking the fridge, icing down the cool
or whatever it is, with the best darn beer around.
Stay thirsty, my friends, go four.
Speaker 1: Doops from the locker room to the airwaves. Gets off
the bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back here off the bench. Oh I
number three, No Jake this week. He is off in
San Francisco for the Super Bowl all week. I don't
know if we're going to try to get him on today,
but certainly throughout the week, he'll be hopping on in
this third hour kind of giving us an update from
for Media Road there. It's Media Row, notut Radio road there, right,
but Media Row a lot of happenings. That's kind of
like the place to be when you're there. So throughout
the week we'll be jumping on for a segment or
two just kind of give us an update all the
cool people we've seen, cool people he's talking to, and
what the latest is from California on the Super Bowl
Seahawks Patriots can't wait for this one. But first let's
let's do a little weekend winners and losers. That's how
win it has done.
Speaker 7: That's right.
Speaker 2: We can't have anyone to freak out out there. Okay,
he's got a k bark apologer, got too far. I'm
by winning. I went here and I win there. Now,
what are you doing what it takes to win a championship?
Speaker 7: Wow?
Speaker 2: Winning? Well, then I guess there's only one thing left
to do. What's that win the whole thing? All right?
My first weekend winner goes to Carlos Alcarez. Then's tennis, well, tennis,
We're going all the way around the wad across the
poem to Australia. Australia opened. Carlos Alcarez defeats Novak Djokovic
to win the Australian Open, and he completes the career
Glenn Grand Slam that grand son Da May and with
that becomes the youngest man to complete the career Grand
Slam with a four set win over at Novak Djokovic,
denying Novak thirty eight year old, denying him is twenty
fifth major. So, Carlos Alcarez a week in winter, you
just became the youngest person to win all the major
tennis tournaments with defeating one of the goats out there,
with Novak Djokovic. So, Carlos Alkarez, Actually he's dominating the
spot right now. I don't watch a lot of tennis.
I didn't watch this one because it was I happened
in the middle of the night I usually watched. I'll
get into it in Wimbledon. I like to I enjoy
watching Wimbledon, But every time I've seen him play, he
basically just beating the brakes off everybody. He's beating him
like LSU women's basketball just beat Bama.
Speaker 6: So I actually did watch this, and you never watch tennis.
I was sitting on the couch. I was like, at
what time?
Speaker 2: So I actually saw it Saturday during the day. Okay.
Speaker 6: It was just like the little replay of it, and
I'm sitting there. I was like, man, you know, I'm
kind of tired. I'm a I'm just turning on some
background noise. I was so locked into this.
Speaker 2: It was awesome, like it was electric, Like you're watching
You're like, yeah, these two guys are like way better
athletes than me. They're like the elite of the elite.
And Alcarez, yeah, I think Djokovic after the match, he
was quoted as saying, what you've been doing talking to Alcarez.
I think the best word to describe it is historic.
So when you get a compliment like that from Novak Djokovic,
I think that means you don't something right so we
can win or congrats.
Speaker 4: Tell y'all Alia, I'm gonna actually keep it.
Speaker 5: In Australia, We'll see there is USC three twenty five
this weekend. The prelims were actually really good and the
car like the fights before the co main and the
main event were also really good. So just overall week
in winner to USC three twenty five, but also to
Alexandra Volkanowski who retains the featherweight championship versus Diego Lopez
eighth overall championship for Alexander Volkanovski tying Aldo. So it's
a pretty good, pretty good run by Vulkan Diego Lopez,
just good fighter, just didn't do enough. Terrible game plan
going into the fight, but.
Speaker 4: It's all good.
Speaker 2: Yeah. A lot of Australian news coming here at off
the bench here. I mean, we are an international show.
We got a lot of listeners in Australia in path
wee can winner for me. We're going hockey to talk
about the goalie fight. I get it. The fight between
two goalies was electric. I saw it last night, but.
Speaker 6: It started before the game even happened. Guys, the entrances
of both the Boston Bruins and the Tampa Bay Light.
And say, here's the Bruins first, Matt, I know you
saw this. They came in dressed like the Patriots, dressed
like our founding fathers, like the entire team getting off
the bus here. I mean, look out, look at those guys.
That is just electric stuff getting off the bus dressed
like that.
Speaker 2: All hockey macky single one of them with the with
the shoes with the big buckles on them as well,
except that they got they got the stockings, they got
the powdered wigs, they got everything.
Speaker 6: Now that's cool. But not to be outdone was the
Tampa Bay Lightning. So they were doing the exact same
walk that the Bucks do. Because it was played in
Raymond James Stadium. You can see Tristan Wurfs and Baker
Mayfield here into in Tampa Bay Lightning gear. But behind
them is the entire hockey team dressed in the Tampa
Bay throwback cream ciccle, walking in just like the Buccaneers do.
I gotta tell you, the Lightning and the Bruins had
a lot of fun with this kind of getting off
the trolley car. There's that's the hockey team before the game.
It was incredible stuff. Like the entertainment started before the
game even happened. It was in the creamickle and like
that's custom jerseys for all the hockey players that it's
their names in the back of it, it's their actual numbers.
Speaker 2: It was electric.
Speaker 6: Get a little fan entrance for them when they walked
into the stadium.
Speaker 2: Awesome. Okay, let me tell you something like hockey, like
we look at like that's a that's a man sport.
They are tough, they fight, they hit like. I think
we can all agree that they ain't nobody playing in
the NHL. They ain't a hard ass that ain't tough.
But that looks like an ancient athletes team right there.
Addressing those those uniforms, they don't look like a football team.
They don't look quite as big, and it's put together
as a football team does. Walking out there looked like
some pretty standard white males right there. But hell of
the job with the uniform.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's fantastic. It was. It was Baker Mayfield
and who Tristan Wirfs, Christian Wurtz.
Speaker 4: Right, you got another one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got another weekend winner. We've already talked about him.
Two two nust bus. Yeah, we'd never were anywhere. We're here.
It just wasn't driving quite as fast. I had to
put it in the shot, had some issues with it.
Get a little oil change, change a couple of tires. Yeah,
this bus is rolling right now. Garrett Neusmeyer with a
fantastic week of practice, a lot of great pub coming
from him in practice, a lot of good movement, a
lot of good velocity accuracy, making a lot of good
great back shoulder throws throughout the week. Well he wins
MVP of the Panini Senior Ball on Saturday. Let's go
nuts both. I mean, you only get to play so much.
The stats, I get it. The defense you can't really
let's a lie. You can't not thrown anything exotic, but
they're also not running anything exotic. And to add insult
to injury for LSU fans, did y'all see his touchdown
on the first drive of the game, hold it on
to a zone read a zone ring and he pulls
it something that LSU fans were screaming, let's just do this,
just do it once. He did it and he scored
a touchdown. Look pretty good doing it. Sick dance weekend winter.
Also on top of that is his dance dancing abilities.
But yeah, ness, Meyer, you've helped yourself in the draft,
young man, and we all wish you good luck. So
ulike what we said earlier that like if you tuck
and rolled out of the nust bus halfway through the season,
we didn't want you back on. But Yeah, it's fine.
We'll sell some tickets. You can get back on the
nuts bus LSU fans. Let's go back on back on.
Speaker 4: Okay, I don't hate that.
Speaker 2: I gues I send the back though. Shout out in US,
shout out to nuts, big, big, big weekend winner.
Speaker 4: Yeah he had a great week.
Speaker 2: He did fantastic week.
Speaker 4: Yeah I have another one.
Speaker 5: I got a few weekend winners to shout out. Obviously
the women's basketball team overall, because they're they're killing it
right now. But they there were some high school girls
from Saint Michael's, the high school basketball team, that went
out to an LSU women's basketball game and they stayed
after to meet some of the girls and the girls
took pictures with them and every thing, and they were like, oh,
we actually have a varsity game tonight and it's senior night,
and they were just kind of like, y'all should come,
like joking or whatever. Okay, these girls showed up. So Grace, Bella,
Zekiah and Divine they showed up to Saint Michael's varsity
women's or the girl's basketball game to go support these
high school ladies. And they even stayed for the men's
basketball game as well, and they took pictures with everybody,
like met all the fans that were.
Speaker 4: At the high school. So shout out to them.
Speaker 5: That's great, like fantastica community outreach. And these girls look
up to you and they that's very mature of them
to realize that they do. And it would have been
a big deal if they went to the game.
Speaker 4: And they did. They didn't have to do it, and
they did, so shout out to them.
Speaker 2: Very cool. A loser for someone that actually won their
boxing match so much.
Speaker 6: Cherrell Miller beat Kingsley Eba this week in a boxing match.
But during the fight, in case anyone's wondering, Darrell Miller
is the one with hair here, Matt, it's important to
have a good two pay.
Speaker 2: He gets his hair knocked off in the middle of
the fight.
Speaker 6: You can see it right there coming up. He looks
like Rob Schneider on Grown Ups if you've ever seen
that movie. Eventually he just tears it off. After the
round's over, he just he rips the whole wig off.
But tough scene for our guy right there. Darrell I
mean again, wins the fight. No one cares.
Speaker 2: This is the only video that's him. Later in the round,
heahelf awareness.
Speaker 4: He was in the corner.
Speaker 5: He was just like everybody was finding the two pay
in the crowd and taking pictures.
Speaker 2: Right, that is hilarious, amazing, Like you're not too far
off from just being like a completely bald head like
the rest of it, right.
Speaker 4: That points shaven.
Speaker 6: Yeah, also, a two pay if you're gonna wear that
or hair plugs, whatever you wanna call it going into
a boxing match, you better make damn sure that things
glued to the top.
Speaker 1: Of your head.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that man got his two pay knocks again.
Speaker 2: He won the fight. No one cares, that's no one's
talking about him.
Speaker 4: You would have thought he lost it.
Speaker 2: My guy, Like, I'm having some words with that glue company.
I don't know what kind of glue. Obviously he's very
very clean shaven where it's getting glued to the other
guy's bald just be bald man.
Speaker 4: Just yeah, I let it go. You can't let it go.
You can't be boxing with a two pay on.
Speaker 2: No, he needs to get some son once I was in.
That's good stuff, that's fantastic. Yeah, you gotta own it
at some point, you just got to own it. You
gotta age gracefully. People. Let it go age with dignity,
and then when when it starts starts going, we don't
have to put at a flat top as well. On
a flat top two pay, it's a flattop fade, which
not a not a great hairstyle to begin with, especially
when it's glued on and you're going to a combat
sport or someone's gonna punch you in the face, They're
gonna have to put some extra precautions or cautions on
the back of that glue bottle. I'd say something along
the lines of, you know, it can't stay if you
punched in the face multiple times.
Speaker 4: He'd look meaner and batter with a bald head too.
Speaker 6: Anyway, Yeah, you know what I mean, Like, I feel
like anything's an improvement from this right here.
Speaker 2: Look at that and you don't look intimidated at all.
What do you think that guy was thinking? Like when
he punched in the two pey flew off, he was like,
already won this fight. Yeah, it doesn't really matter done.
That's like a five point deduction. Like we've seen the
box of matches and especially in movies where someone gets
the like the mouthpiece knocked out. Yeah, well this is
the first time I've seen the hair knocked off him.
My god, that's so good. I guess I got yeah
last week. Yeah, I'll do one more just since Jake's here.
Since Jake's not here, we can get away with like
talking about other things. So it's college football. Justin Rose,
the Englishman PGA Tour. He won an amazing fashion. The
Farmers Insurance Open was this week and he won by
I think he's forty five years old. Won a bout
seven strokes in the PGA Tour. The guy that continues
to be ageless to continues to be timeless, the former
major winner, been doing it a long long time. So
I just wanted to give a quick shout. It's all
the golf fans out there, helly out of golf, because
I will continue to talk about it at least once
a week. I make that promise to you, everybody. Unless
I forget, I make the promise to you, I'll talk
about it at least once a week. So Justin Rose
with a fantastic seven stroke victory the Farmers Insurance Open
at Tory Pines Golf Course. Shout out Justin Yeah, Jay Rose, Rosie,
he's been a thorn in our side at the Ryder
Cup for a long time, for two decades.
Speaker 4: When you say our side.
Speaker 2: Who America?
Speaker 8: Ussa's from England.
Speaker 2: Englishman sounds like he's from London. I don't know where
it's from. I mean somewhere over there. Anybody. We're good
and we're good. Not a lot of losers. I didn't
like scour the internet for a bunch of losers. Well,
your Jerill Jarrill is the loser, man. I guess getting
your hair knocked off, getting hit so hard, your hair
gets knocked off the top of your head, but you
still in the fight. Did he win by decision at
that point that you're not You got to knock out.
If you want to actually come away with a victory,
when you get your pay knocked off, you gotta voting
for him by decision. Like I don't care if you
got more shots in. My deciding factor is did your
hair fall off? If the answer is yes, you don't
get to win those yes. If you vote for him
to win by decision, that's as egregious as keeping Belichick
out of the Hall of Fame. I agree with you.
We will finish out. We got thirty minutes left. Go
ahead and start getting your asks the bench questions because
we are going on our next day, We're going to

that the Saints will be pretty popular there.
Speaker 4: Throne was here, huh. The Crone was here.
Speaker 2: He was he was, Yeah, he scouting.
Speaker 4: I think this was a year ago, but he was here.
Speaker 2: This was a year ago. But he's visited. I think
about it. You gotta make travel plans in advance map. Yeah,
that's a good point. Beside these things overnight him and
his wife. It makes you I get why the Saints
would go when you just mentioned the Florida lead and everything.
Why the hell were they like? Maybe they maybe they
doesn't like Paris and they're like, hm, who could we
give them? I knew?
Speaker 6: How about the Cleveland Browns, the team who is called
the Browns that are defined by their orange helmet, which
is their official logo.
Speaker 5: Maybe it's like a layup for the Saints, like they
want the Saints to go win.
Speaker 2: That could be it. That's actually a good point. Give
them the mic rabel Less Titans to play. It's kind
of like the uh in London the Jags play. Do
they play every year? Still? They were playing every year?
They do play every year, They're like the most likely.
I think Roger Goodell has said that he would like
a team to be in London, which would be an
absolute nightmare. Everybody begging to move to London. So yeah,
he does. He definitely wants to go to London. That'd
be awful though, trying to play in your travel at
itener areas around a team in London eight games, They're
eight games here.
Speaker 4: God, So do you go for like a week before
to get used to the time.
Speaker 2: Change or I think they do? They usually do.
Speaker 4: I'm like, how far in advance do you think?
Speaker 2: I never did? I never did an overseas drip. I
know Jake did, and I'm pretty sure that when he
was playing for the Chargers, and I'm pretty sure that
they scheduled it to where they had an East Coast
game the week before. Oh okay, so they just flew
from the east coast to instead of having to like
go back and forth and then take like a fly
to fly to London from the west coast, which sounds awful. Yeah,
they just I think that's what they did. Now, that's
over two weeks away from over like a week and
a half away from your family, which is not cool.
But I guess from a travel standpoint, it made sense.
But anyway, say it's taking it on the Cleveland Brown
Shed Deer in company Paris. I wonder if the I
wonder if people will travel for that. Man, it's a
good excuse to go to Paris. It's a destination place too,
for sure. Yeah. Have y'all ever heard of an octopus
in football? I've heard of an octopus in the ocean
and the ocean like on a you know, a nature documentary. No,
the documentary Octopus Teacher, which was a fantastic one. I
think those Netflix fantastic little documentary. Well. I just I
was looking up the novelty prop bets for the Super
Bowl this week, and one of the you know, I'm
scrolling down, like the six or seventh novelty prop bet
is will there be an octopus plus fourteen hundred, yes,
minus four thousand h And I'm like, what do you mean?
Where are they playing? Is this like near an aquarium?
Is this what is happening? So I looked it up
and a football octopus is when the same player scores
a touchdown and converts the two point conversion to that touchdown,
which is a super random situation. I've never feel, like,
I know football pretty well, I've never heard of an
octopus before, right, and that seems like something that would
kind of happen pretty frequently, I guess. So it's plus
fourteen hundred to happen because you don't go for two
a lot.
Speaker 4: Sorry, I tuned out for like two seconds.
Speaker 2: Yeap, what is it we're talking about? Secret? Yeah?
Speaker 4: What is the octopus?
Speaker 6: Though?
Speaker 2: So it's when the same players is a touchdown and
converts the two point conversion on top of that touchdown.
That is, And I'm like, sitting here, this is a
very obscure way to put it, and it is. I'm
on I'm on like DraftKings dot Com looking at their
sportsbook and I'm under the novelty general novelty props and
it's one, two, three, four five. It's the sixth to
one from the top. I like it, dude, because it
would it's fun. But I think you would just like
depending on the team, you really spell it out, like
what an octopus is. That's not common knowledge. This common
knowledge to anybody, Like like if.
Speaker 6: The Eagles were in the Super Bowl again, I could
see Jalen Hurts Toush push from the one line up
again and do it like the odds are probably lower
for him. These two teams neither quarterbacks, really a runner,
I'd say, chances are not. I mean, you said plus
fourteen under, I'd say it's not great.
Speaker 2: Anthony brings up a great point in the chat here
eight points eight lasts, I would think, if you're gonna
do it, like make a bad So it was an octopus,
I would say an eight leg parlay, right, Yeah it was.
Speaker 4: I just looked it up.
Speaker 5: It was Jalen Hurts who had an octopus in twenty
twenty three.
Speaker 2: Interesting. I mean I was just thinking, like, like Josh
Allen would be likely to do that as well, somebody
like that. Yeah, Lamar, Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 5: I think from what I'm reading, Jalen's the only one
to our knowledge that has done it.
Speaker 2: So wait, in the history of the football.
Speaker 6: I need to do a little more research, but yeah,
the history of the football, history of the football, Hurts
is the only one.
Speaker 2: Apparently, someone's asking to have eyes. Have I ever scored
an octopus? He this says?
Speaker 4: Yeah, who's sports?
Speaker 5: Says Jalen Hurts made history in Super Bowl fifty seven,
recording the game's first.
Speaker 4: And to date only octo. Okay in Super Bowl Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I just looked up just super Bowl. I didn't look
up NFL. I'm sure it's happened probably in the NFL
plenty of times.
Speaker 2: But I think the more shocking thing to me is
like DraftKings thinking this is common knowledge, Like the term octopus, right,
pretty wild.
Speaker 6: I think I'm a sprinkle some on it. I like this,
that's fourteen hundred why not? I mean it's not that crazy.
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, you gotta think quarterback is the
most likely. Yeah, the guy'd be watching it be Kenneth
Walker for this there. But then you got to have
a offensive coordinator that's going to call a running play
on a two point version. It does happen, kubiuck lester
on the ball.
Speaker 5: Let's see in the NF like in the NFL in general,
because I had just looked up Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: There's been hundreds.
Speaker 2: Wow, Like it doesn't seem that crazy. Yeah, this game,
I would say, no.
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers is a frequent performer of this. Really Aaron Rodgers,
Randy Moss, Calvin Johnson, Patrick Mahomes, the Packers and the
Vikings are tied for the most in league history.
Speaker 2: Octopuses. I see that people track. I think Davanta Adams
did it this year. Could be wrong about that. All right,
there we go. You want to sprinkle a little bit
on a novelty prop that it's clearly the octopus bet obviously. Yeah.
