Speaker 1: Let's let's go all start to you to presents. Off
the bench with Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Off the bench with Jacob Hester and C Bob Aber.
Speaker 3: I gotta come off the bitch.
Speaker 1: Now here's Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 4: What outa y'all? Welcome back to OH TB? Are you
down with OH TB?
Speaker 3: Yes? You know me?
Speaker 2: And there's one other guy that is also down, and
that's Bobby c That's right, the General himself, professor of finance.
Speaker 4: How's the Big Carpenter Show actually called? I should have
looked this up again before I apologize, Bobby, Bobby, what's up? Brother?
What's going?
Speaker 2: Also his little Meathead Radio with Jakie Wakey on series
eighty four?
Speaker 4: Bobby, what's up? Man?
Speaker 3: Oh? Just you? T Bob? I mean excited? One thing
you've forgotten? There maybe a smolder forger of the rings
of man and I don't know.
Speaker 4: Yes, I forgot.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I met Bobby Kella Brimbor is what I meant
to say. I apologize as his last name is never
been Carpenter. That's just a secret last name to cover
up his ancient immortal Elvin heritage. I mean, looking at
the picture that we have of you here, Bobby, which
is you in a Dallas Cowboys uniform with extremely long hair,
you do actually look rather elf like if if you
had a bit point in your ears, I can see
you being Elvin, like a jacked elf, but an Elf.
Speaker 4: Nonetheless, I can see you in the Battle of Helmsteen.
Speaker 3: E the First and Second Age. I think we're much more,
in doubt muscularly, more physical, broader beast and I really
can't grow a beer, so I think there is a
little true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, noted like official everyone the elves and you
are right right.
Speaker 2: The old elves of the of the First Age, like
fehan Or in company used to do battle with ballrogs
like one v one, and you look like someone in
this picture who could battle the ball rug.
Speaker 4: One v one.
Speaker 5: Since we're look, since we're all movie takes with Bob,
I think that we need to bring something that we
had earlier on the show to Bob, because I think
he would have a great answer. The best Jason Statham character, sir,
oh our movie, I mean.
Speaker 3: Pretty good and like the fast and furious stuff like that,
just solid and that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I haven't.
Speaker 3: Seen the beecheper yet I gotta be honest, man, My
cataloge on statsan missing as broad as I would like
it to be me too. I'm sure to think what
else she's been in, because I don't have seen more
of them. They're just not readily available in my mind.
Speaker 4: Well exactly, I mean that's what that's obviously.
Speaker 5: Hard carrying member of Meathead Nation and not have the
Jason Statham catalog.
Speaker 2: As Bobby Keller Brenboor's respresentation, he absolutely can. He dropped
the Beekeeper reference. He mentioned Fast and Furious, in which
Stathan was a huge addition when those movies started to
take off in terms of being absurd action movies. My
client's being well within his rights.
Speaker 4: He knew enough, he knew enough. Bobby, you have no
wrongs to right. Do not worry. Okay, You're fine. Don't
say anything.
Speaker 2: Now as far as the Buckeyes go. I mean, Bobby,
how about.
Speaker 4: It, dude, What a difference a month and a half
can make.
Speaker 2: Describe your emotions Buck Eye Nations.
Speaker 4: Emotions.
Speaker 2: Describe the journey you've been on since leaving the field
post Michigan to now where we sit, half a week
away from sixty minutes to a national championship.
Speaker 3: Yeah, walking off the field against Michigan was it was tough.
And you know, I was on the call on that
with our leadership partners, and it was I was excited
the first game I got a chance to do it him.
I was like, if we win, it's gonna be tremendous.
If we lose, it's to be devastating. And that loss
was brutal. And sometimes a loss, you knows, you hate
to say it. People ask like, is this a reason
why they're good? I don't know if you had to lose,
but it's sometimes it's often easier to learn out of
the pits of despair because it forces you to really
take an intrinsic look at everything that's going on inside internally,
like look in the mirror, Okay, we're good. Why did
we lose this game? What do we need to do?
And then also the feeling of desperation. It's a football
is an emotional game, and anytime you can have that
feeling of desperation knowing that this is your last chance
to achieve anything of note, I think it's incredibly important.
And you've heard these guys talking how much you love
each other and get a chance to play another week
and win. For all this stuff, it's been phenomenal watching
them grow with this confidence and really still keep that
edge and keep the sword as sharp as it's been.
Speaker 5: Bobby, who was the guy like you lose to Michigan, right,
and we know how heartbreaking that is is. And maybe
actually we don't. Maybe Tebob and I don't fully understand
because we played at a place that doesn't have a
rival like that. Now we have our own rivals and
who we think it is for LSU, But everybody at
Ohio State knows it's Michigan. Michigan knows it's Ohio State.
I mean that goes back basically one hundred years. And
so you lose that game, it's devastating, but you're able
to regroup, You're able to get into the playoff, and
then you thrive as well as anybody in the playoff, Like.
Speaker 4: What was kind of the message?
Speaker 5: Who was saying the message as far as you know,
teammates and players, who was out in front of it
to make sure that that didn't turn into a disappointing
playoff appearance.
Speaker 3: Oh, I think the guy whos saw makes some huge plays.
Michigan and also against Texas and Jack Sawyer and you know,
he was the guy out in the middle of the field,
and as much as you know you hate to see,
you know, the stuff out in the post game, there
is something about, you know, respecting your field and not
allowing your opposition to desecrate it. And I get to
I get the point, like, hey, do it between the lions,
do it between the whistles. But Jack Sawyer has really
been on a tear. He's been one of the vocal
leaders deal with this. You know, he's been there. He's
a central Ohio guy, which I think is is critically
important to that. But it's really collectively been a lot
of those seniors together and they had to bred it.
I guess I think there was a player's only meeting
is what was reported. And then I think there's a
part of the coaches. Some of the coaches were in
there before and people were saying, oh, it was heated,
there's fights and stuff. I'm like, well, guys have to
be restrained. I don't think there's anything of that, But
I think there was some brute wantisty going on about Hey,
as players, what do we need to do? As coaches?
What do we need to do how can we get better?
And you know from that point that was kind of
a galvanization point where that crucible finally got hot enough
that you saw them all come together.
Speaker 2: Uh, and look at what it has forged them into
kind of the runaway favorite for this National Championship. Bobby,
speaking of Jack Sawyer, the play that he made, I
mean he made it on third down two, but that
fourth down pass rush, I mean to just completely perfectly
time Houdini. The right tackle nearly caused him to fall
over stripsack forst fumble. Take it all the way back,
beat Texas to go to the National Championship, a game
which will be favored. Where does that rank among the
all time great Ohio State plays?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 2: Obviously bring to achieve max rank potential, a championship has
to be won here at the end. But if one
is like where where where is is that a top
five play in program?
Speaker 4: He hisstory had a top ten play where we're putting it.
Speaker 3: Well, you said it right there, Steve, if you win
the National Championship in that game goes down in history
like Seek's run, like Purice Cretz, you know, strip of
Sean Taylor. You know some of these, I would say,
Keith Buyers, you know, the shoeless run back in like
eighty four, eighty five, but all like some of these
iconic plays, but the only way you remember those and
the story is told appropriately as if the story has
ended correctly. Yes, that's what the National Championship And yeah,
you could already do the play yet against Michigan. I
mean a goal line standard you intercepted as a defensive
end in the end zone running out to like the
thirteen to fourteen yard line, but you don't win the game.
So like it's never really given the respect that it deserves.
So they've got to win that. But it is top
five and maybe the greatest for sure. You know.
Speaker 5: Now you look at this matchup a team you know
very well, Notre Dame Marcus Freeman, your you know, teammate
at Ohio State. He's, yeah, you know, somebody that thrive
for the buck Eyes. He played in a National championship
against T Bob and I in two thousand and seven.
I mean, he is Buckeye through and through, and now
he's coaching against his school in a National championship game.
But I know you and I both appreciate kind of
the way that he's gone about building this program. I mean,
it's going to be. It feels like a beautiful rock
fight in this game, Like I would not take the over.
I feel like this is going to be defense running
the football. One play here, one play there, just because
I think a lot of both of these defenses, Bobby.
Speaker 3: Oh, both of the defenses you know too, of the
top in college football. You look at the final four,
the semifinal, like all four of those teams had top flight,
top five, six seven defenses, and it was really kind
of a year of the defense, especially with no quarterbacks
on elite teams that really separated themselves. So yes, I'm
with you. I think this game is going to reside
highest potential score probably twenty seven for a team, probably
more twenty one to twenty four with the teams on
the other side, And you know, it's just tough. I
love marcus former team in I mind, and we had
Jim Trussell on our former coach, and he coaches a
lot like tress defense, special teams, opportunistic offense. And yeah,
I mean, I guess the closest I could throw to you, guys,
like imagine if like Flinner was coaching, you know at
Clemston in that National Championship game where you're going to
play them, and like, you know, it's your guy, you
love them. I said, I want Marcus to win every game,
just just not on Monday night.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Flynn actually just left us by the way like a
minute ago, and he said, I tell Bobby. I said, hello,
So there you go, great analogy.
Speaker 4: What about so.
Speaker 2: It feels like Ohio State can win this game in
multiple different ways. For Notre Dame, the path feels much narrower.
So put on your opponent scouting hat here, Bobby. And
if Notre Dame is to pull off the upset, what
do you think that pathway looks like?
Speaker 3: Defensively for Notre Dame, it's no big plays. You got
to get some pressure on Will Howard just stacked for
the first time against Texas this playoffs, So you gotta
get a little pressure. Hopefully force the turnover too, like
they were able to overcome some early turnovers against Penn State.
But I don't know if I would bank on that,
like it'd be positive in the turnover margin. And then
on the opposite side of the ball, you've got to
be a hell of a job staying in third and managed,
and you're gonna have to have a big hitter or too,
and whether that's play action, pass, a flee, flick or
reverse like we've seen some like not crazy gadget, but
like some little stuff that's small tricks in there that
they've been able to kind of get explosive games with.
Because this Ohio State defense, just like Notre Dame, it's
really hard to drive the football on them over the
course of ten and ball places. So you need to
get a fifteen to threty yard chunk at some point
in there.
Speaker 5: All right, Bob, last one for me, And I think t
Bob actually has a serious question after this, But I
need you to do something for me. If Ohio State wins,
I need you to go like John Cusack, and I
need you to bring a stereo out and after they win,
I need you to play the Generation X theme music.
And I need Ryan Day to get up there on
a microphone and say I got two words for you,
and then both of you hit the sucket sign. Can
we get that done? And can we get that done?
Speaker 3: Though the theatrics of that would be phenomenal, I don't
know if that's really Ryan stump a team. There's there's
some coaches you might be able to get to lean
in on that lane. Kiffen might do that, Drake would
probably do it. But uh do I think Ryan should
ohire Sted win this and I'm hoping that they do.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: I think there'll be a lot of relief and then
a lot of joy with his players after going through
this season the way it went and then even the
last four years of what happened against Michigan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no gold pants, but could end up with a
natty kind of insane for the seniors on this team. Uh, Bobby,
when it comes to stopping Ohio State's offense, does it
like if if I kind of look at the team
outside looking in, it's one of those deals where I
think I would first and foremost prioritize, maybe crip some
things from Texas to again a lot of that personality,
but first and foremost, I feel like you gotta shut
down Jeremiah Smith and end up throwing everything into the
past and I'm gonna make you beat me with a
consistent rushing attack and and Ohios it's capable of doing so.
But it is that like it feels like the lesser
of two evils outside looking in. What do you think
is the key to trying to contain a Buckey's offense
that appears to be the most complete unit, uh in
the entire country.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Texas done a pretty good job of it.
And you look at their game plan. They ran a
lot of three deep you know, halo coverage over the top,
some bombs. I can try to make sure they didn't
give up the big hit running guys under Jeremiah, and
you know, give them credit. You know they were able
to slow that down Ohio state scores, you know, twenty
one points with it. They were driving one other time.
You know they had to well throw as the interception
they're driving another time.
Speaker 4: Penalties that killed some stuff too.
Speaker 3: Penalties. Yeah, yeah, And that's what I'm saying, Like, you've
got to try to have them beat themselves, like see
if they're patient enough to do it, and over the
course of a drive, if they're gonna make some mistakes
and whether that's turnos over penalties, those are the two options.
Speaker 4: There you go, guys, I can't wait, Bobby, can you
taste it? Can you taste it? A little bit? Dude? Nervous?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't get a nervous man. I get excited
for these games. I'm just I'm still on like the
brink of exhaustion, trying to recover from getting back. Guys.
I'm gonna tell you, man, this is They're gonna have
to do something because like the three road sites is
tough stuff, like to ask people to travel for dude.
It is a financial burden that is ridiculous. So I
hope they get that figured out and that way, you know,
if you if you're one of the top four, get
a home game as well, which I think there's a
huge advantage of that.
Speaker 2: Uh did how many beers if they win Monday night?
Speaker 4: How many beers are we talking?
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna be honest with you. I got a
call that I'm gonna line up here. I've got a
meeting and then my YouTube show and American I had
a nice ten to thirty direct flight from Atlantic Columbus
that they had put in after the game. Got a
notification this morning that flight was changed to five thirty
seven and it's got a layover in DC now, so
I didn't pay for that service. So we're gonna have
a conversation about how this is gonna get remedied, I.
Speaker 5: Mean, Bob, I mean, if y'all win, I answer, how
about you drink some beers? Yeah, Bob, I'm gonna be
throwing beer like your stone cold if y'all win.
Speaker 4: What are we talking about, dude, Bobby.
Speaker 3: I was hoping to go like rolling. I'm still gonna
do my postgame my show in the morning the next
day at six, and now like I can't do that,
and you're telling me I got to be at the
airport at four o'clock. I believe there's I'm kind of
upset about this. So we're gonna get this figured out.
But yeah, there will nothing will stop me from a
good time. Sure the Buckeyes willin.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, hell yeah. Best of luck, our guy. A
true renaissance man in every sense of the word. An academic,
an athlete, a.
Speaker 4: Warrior, scholar.
Speaker 2: If you will, stank owned Bobby Carpenter, Take it easy, Bobby,

Speaker 1: Back to the ninth ranked morning sports show in America.
Off the bench, she.
Speaker 4: Welcome back to O TB.
Speaker 2: You want to talk about a next man up mentality? Sure,
So here's been Notre Dame's injuries this year. So remember
entering the season, they're working in two new.
Speaker 4: Starting offensive tackles. He gave the music playing one. It
doesn't matter, it's.
Speaker 2: Up to you. Charles Jagusa, who's supposed to be the
starting left tackle who they had really really big hopes on,
He's gonna be awesome, right, he tears his pecking camp,
So he's out for the year, or is he We'll see.
Speaker 4: He's out though. In Week three, starting center Ashton Craig
tears his ACL.
Speaker 2: So we're three weeks into the year. We already have
two of the five starting O linemen done for the season.
In that same game, starting viper Jordan Botello suffers an injury.
Speaker 4: He's out for here. Did you all know what a viperant?
I never knew this before I started reading about Notre Dame.
It's the Sniper. It's a snake.
Speaker 6: It used also used to be a sports car made
by Dodge God Lord, goodness, joke.
Speaker 5: Wait wait, well, hold up, hold up, there's no way
in hell that you're getting You know, it's tough, surrounded
by bad jokes, surrounded by jokesers, and I'm trying to
do a serious show and I'm just surrounded by low brow,
bad puns, juvenile jokes.
Speaker 4: It's pathetic. Guys, want to grow up.
Speaker 5: We all know.
Speaker 7: The vipers a hybrid position in football that's a cross
between the safety in and outside linebacker.
Speaker 4: Everybody knows that exactly. Star. I guess it's their version
of the Star kind, even though I think it's like
a little more pass rush heavy in the Star. But
it's a position that so lose the starting Viper, Jordan
Bettello as well. So then b Triore top ten name,
great name, steps into Potello's as absence.
Speaker 2: And by week five a couple of weeks, Bubba car
has taken the lead in sacks and timples, and.
Speaker 4: Then he blows out his week knee in week five,
so he's out for the year.
Speaker 2: Benjamin Morrison, who's maybe the best cornerback in the entire country.
Speaker 4: Definitely top three.
Speaker 5: Yeah, really good.
Speaker 4: He purchased Hippig in Stanford. He's out for the year.
He's replaced by a true freshman and Leonard Moore three star.
Speaker 2: Well, now Leonard Moore leads the team in PBUs has
two four humbles, two picks. So then Charles Jagusa because
not even went on this old yes, just Tony Charles
Tegosa when because not even went on this extended run.
He comes back in the Orange Ball because all of
a sudden, starting guard Rocos Spindler's hurt. And then of
course last game in the semifinal, right at the beginning
of the games, by the fact they got Abdul Carter
lining up on the other side of them, they're starting
left tackle. Anthony Knap gets hurt, he's out for the
National Championship. Spindler will be back for whatever that's worth.
So Jagoza probably gets back at that original left tackle.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Also Riley Mills, their defensive tackle that led the team
in Sackson Tipples with seven and a half and a
and a half. He got hurt against Indiana. He's done
for the year. Jeer My Love got hurt against Indiana,
he's playing through it. Mitch Jeter, their kicker, was injured
all year long. He finished one of five in the
final five raders.
Speaker 4: He's getting done.
Speaker 2: It is insane the amount of injuries have overcome, and
so it's just a bit maybe it's appropriate, even though
you could say it's unfair, but it's a bit appropriate
than with how their years gone. Then now they run
into Ohio State team that is basically at full strength,
Kale Downs, Sawyer, Judkins, Henderson, Howard, everybody.
Speaker 5: It's a great point, notreed aim it, and there's teams
like this every year in college, in the NFL, really
all sports, but that they just find a way. You
can't define it. You can't explain it. You can't pinpoint
one reason or another. You can't can't make the math work.
The math ain't mathing sometimes, and that's what Notre Dame is.
They just continue to find a way. Even when their
quarterback throws for ninety yards against Georgia, they win the
football game. When they're getting handled up front against Penn
State in the first half, Penn State is getting to
the edge whenever they want. They find a way to
win the game. There's so many different games that we
could point to outside of the Northern Illinois game, and
that was and teams like this, the ones that we
can't really explain why they're doing what they're doing. They
typically have like one of those games that makes everything
kind of change for them, and it was early in
the season against Northern Illinois for this team. So they've
got injuries, they've got deficiencies, they've got you know, a
lot of what you don't want to have in this position.
But they're here in this position, and they're gonna have
a chance. And if this team wins, nobody should be shocked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I agree, even though it does feel
a bit as if this would still somehow be shocking.
But I guess it's because I haven't been shocked by
any of the recent wins. I chose them to win
the other games, but this one feels a step too
far to outright choose them.
Speaker 5: No, look, I'm not. And even though like Texas and
Notre Dame were the two teams that I kind of
wanted to identify, I thought they really had a chance
to win the national championship, and after seeing Ohio State
play Michigan. I didn't have them in my top three
in this playoff. I even picked Texas last game. I
just I thought Texas was going to I.
Speaker 4: Ended up having the last second change your heart in
going Texas as well.
Speaker 5: Look, I just thought there was some matchups that maybe
they could exploit, and they were right there with an
opportunity they call an awful second down play balls going
the other way. Credit to the buck Eyes. But as
I look at the individual matchups in this one, as
good as Notre Dame has been where they've really thrived,
I think Ohio State thrives more so. I do like
Notre Dame to cover. But I think Ohio State wins
a football game and Ryan Day finally gets to hoist
that national championship trophy, And if I was him, I would,
you know, I do the DX. Maybe he won't, that's
on him.
Speaker 4: He pays Quinn yours to go to Ohio State and
they went back to back, it'd be crazy.
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, Quinn is going to have his choicely if
he wants to come back. He's Ohio State, Alabama, Notre Dame,
all of the Georgia.
Speaker 2: I know it's a weak quarterback class. But the NFL
is telling them he's not even guaranteed a second round pick.
He's going to have four or five, maybe even six
million dollar offers. Reportedly, Yeah, he's got. He'd be crazy
not to play another year of college football. Ah, you'd
be crazy not to take advantage of our friends over
there at Pinnacle Exterior Construction. If you want to look, guys,
it is cold right now, but summer, you know, it's
always right around the corner here in Louisiana. And what's
that's the best way to beat the heat of the
summer with a badass pool. And if you're talking about
Pinnacle Exterior Construction, you can build a completely custom pool
however you want it. We also have a great selection
of speck pools where you get this. Really it's a
thick booklet, right, but it's a ton of different templates,
a ton different layouts, and within those templates, you select
the Dota Living Office.
Speaker 4: You still customize it to your liking.
Speaker 2: And all of a sudden and no time at all,
rapid turnaround time from the beginning of the project all
through through cleanup act very quickly, very efficiently. It's not
going to be you know, one of these projects that
drags out forever. It's gonna get in and out.
Speaker 4: Bam bam. You're good to go.
Speaker 2: You're ready for the summer. You're swimming, chilling, grilling, having fun,
and all of a sudden, your home is a place
where you and your family wants to be. They're not
going over to the friends Allison, where they're hanging out
at the crypt. So, whether it's a pool, an outdoor kitchen,
outdoor living area, you need a bigger, better fence, you
need a bulkhead, you need pergola, you want to just build.
Speaker 4: Turf putt of.
Speaker 2: I mean, look at this, Look at the fricking work
here on the website. Guys, the artisan ship will blow
you away at Pinnacle say it every day, but I
mean it. Go to pecbuilt dot com see it for yourself.
Pec built dot Com. We build the spaces, you build
the memories. All Right, it's ty for taytay Nville Story
of the Day.
Speaker 1: Day. It's time for Dayday's NFL Story of the Day Day,
your daily dose of NFL news from Taylor Sharp.
Speaker 6: So we did this about a month ago when Deontay
Johnson was cut by the Baltimore Ravens for refusing to
go into the game. He was unhappy with his play
in time. Well, since then the Houston Texans had picked
him up. He had one catch for twelve yards in
their playoff game, and yesterday, Deontay Johnson has been cut
by the Houston Texans. Guess why wait for it. He
wasn't happy with his usage in Saturday's playoff game. He
played just fourteen fifteen of the team's seventy offensive snaps
and apparently he calls a little stir in the locker
room after Saturday's game. What Aziz Ausha here the linebacker.
I had to kind of control him and kind of,
you know, calm him down a little bit.
Speaker 4: And uh yeah.
Speaker 6: So Deontay Johnson out again for the same reason. Two
teams in less than a month. I don't know what
his future in the NFL looks like.
Speaker 4: Bro just suck it up and go on the run
when you get the playoff checks. And then he right, like,
what are we talking about? How much money do you
make for winning a playoff game?
Speaker 5: Everybody makes the same amount, so it's not based off
your contract, That's what I mean, right, And it gets
more every yeah, every round, it goes up it's probably
in the wild car. Probably a forty five thousand check. Bro,
I think I'm sure that's gone up too.
Speaker 4: May the Lord guide me?
Speaker 2: So my ego is never large enough where I throw
away a forty five thousand dollars game check because I'm
unhappy with my playing time. Just lean into everything that
you learned about football from the time you were a
little kid, team bigger than yourself.
Speaker 4: Like, it's not hard. Fake it. I don't even care
if you don't believe it.
Speaker 6: Just fake it.
Speaker 2: Just show up for work for a couple of weeks more, dude,
that is insanity. Like that is actual throat off insanity.
Speaker 6: Even even if you don't like Houston, like Deontin Johnson's
a talented player. There's a lot of teams that need
receivers in the offseason. Why the hell would you want
to sign Deontay Johnson.
Speaker 4: No, That's what I'm saying. You can't suck it up
for a couple of weeks and just fake it like
you're a team player. Like that's crazy. Four teams in
the last year, that's crazy. Yeah, those are your hotalented Yes.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because well that he keeps getting he could get
away with. Yeah, and then he goes to the Steelers,
right they trade him to the Panthers. He was unhappy
with the Panthers. He gets traded to the Ravens. You
go from one of the worst teams to one of
the best teams. You're complaining about your situation there, you
get picked up by another playoff team and you're still unhappy.
Speaker 4: That's wild, man.
Speaker 2: I normally am pretty chilling these kind of stories, you know, like, ah, whatever,
you know, we're over, But that that's crazy, that's.
Speaker 4: For real, crazy John DJ what we doing?

one Nico Collins? Go sit down?
Speaker 4: I got you. It's so crazy as to border on, like,
are we talking about.
Speaker 2: Some sort of mental health issue here where he almost
like can't get out of his own headers.
Speaker 4: I I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I mean he played in just four games in Baltimore.
He's been with the Texans for three weeks. I mean
they like all this occurred in the last month.
Speaker 3: And a half.
Speaker 2: Crazy man, I don't know. I've said my piece on that.
I think that's I think that's really really dumb on
his part. But good riddance probably what the Texans are saying.
Speaker 5: All right, yeah, because they like they've got Mechi, They've
got Nico Collins, as I mentioned, they got Chills, they
got Joe Mixon.

Speaker 5: Pokemon wasn't something that was prevalent in the Hester household. No,
like if you if you had like a little board
of hey, name this fullback, I'd crush it. I'd go
I'd go fifty for fifty. Don't know Pokemon? Yeah, you know,
I'm trying to how do I say this without sounding bad?
My dad would not have like been cool with like
me after school playing Pokemon cards even have been like
you should be doing something physical right now, like let's go,
We're gonna go pound some iron, hit some concrete, and
but I enjoyed that though, to be fair, that's what
I enjoyed.
Speaker 4: Funds is a good to be a big nerd.
Speaker 5: I mean, I would say nerdy like Pokemon is baseball
card is the same thing. What's different?
Speaker 2: Well, not only that, but Pokemon transcended, like it's not
like a deep cut of nerd them, especially not if
you're our age.
Speaker 5: It's three decades long.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like right, yeah, there's all kinds of stats
about how it's like the highest grossing whatever it's it's
like a it's a global phenomenon now named three digitmon.
Speaker 4: I can't do that.
Speaker 2: It was like a Pokemon knockoff that had you know,
it had a little bit of run, had a little
bit of run. I have bought a couple of Pegamon
card packs back in the day. It might be giving
them a little too much credit to grant them the
rank of PEPSI. But kind of the same thing in
this but like a much less maybe like an RC
Cola I it ended up being eventually maybe maybe maybe
that would be closer.
Speaker 5: There was there was a great thread kind of in
the same like naming things. There's a great thread on
Instagram and gave you ten living rooms of like former
TV sitcom shows and you had to name the show
based off just the living room.
Speaker 4: Oh, I'd love to do that. Yeah, I don't think
I could get all ten for ten, but I could
get some Yugyoh's Pepsi also. No, I don't think you
gets granted the rank of Pepsi either, although I love
you as well. It was the first ever card tournament
I ever played in, was the Yugo Tournament back in
the day. I do love stuff like that.
Speaker 6: Like there's a gum TikTok and he's like he does
like deep cut NFL players, and he goes like position
by the position, he'll do like like he did like
tight ends the other day, and I would pause it
before he would answer, and I'm like, okay, do I know,
and I would match it.
Speaker 3: I love stuff like that.
Speaker 4: Well, georgoil you can because TikTok doesn't exist anymore. Takeday,
I don't think it's going anywhere too two years ago.
Speaker 2: Yugo is bigger than the Jmon. I agree, I just
don't think it ever. I mean, Pokemon is on a
different level from all of this stuff.
Speaker 4: Uh the debt.
Speaker 7: Like the thing that you used to put the Ukyo
cards in, you know, the thing that he would put
on is we had one of those.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had so.
Speaker 4: Many yuki O cards.
Speaker 7: Yeah, like my brother ended up selling them like later.
Speaker 5: I remember we had so many of them.
Speaker 2: I put so much work into creating my deck. I
mean I'm talking about like trade my way up, you know,
saving money, buying some of the rare cards off of friends.
I even went so far, and I feel bad about this, but.
Speaker 4: I used this one.
Speaker 2: I spent the night at this its house simply because
he had an extensive Yu gi oh collection, and I
knew that I could get these seventeen hundred attack power
cards that didn't have a summon cost because he had
them overflowing. And so I only hung out with him
to spend the night at his house and catch all
these seventeen hundred attack card runoffs. Now, eighteen hundred was
the best, but seventeen was still going to put you
in a good spot, and it made a great deck.
Unfortunately eventually left said deck in my pants and they
got washed.
Speaker 5: That's typically where your deck stays.
Speaker 2: And I'll never forget it because I ended up. I
was crying a lot that morning when that cards got
ruined and it never played Yugo again.
Speaker 4: It broke Mero.
Speaker 5: That's crazy, I know.
Speaker 4: Bumps me out. Magic. The Gathering is the Coca Cola

make it about him, makes it about the game.
Speaker 4: Are you accusing Kirch No? No, no, no, no, they're
cordy no player.
Speaker 3: No uh.
Speaker 5: I think there's some play about plays that make it
about them. Sometimes it's not about you you're telling the story.
Speaker 2: Uh, asked the binge, what is everyone's in the O
TV crew's favorite thing? They collected his kids.
Speaker 7: When I was like a kid, kid like young, like
five soldiers counts, I had so many beanie babies. Oh yeah,
I had so many beanie babies, like hella, like trash
bags full of them. Anytime I went to Cracker Barrel,
I got a beanie baby.
Speaker 2: I mean I loved POGs for a while there. I
had a beanie baby stage for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So, like my mom used to have a side hustle
where she would go because she worked at nights, so
she was graveyards, so she'd have all day. Well, she'd
go to different places. She knew when the new ones
were coming out, the hot ones, and she would go
like trade shows and make really good like side money hustle.
Speaker 4: On beanie babies.
Speaker 5: There for like two years. I'm talking about like vacation money,
like extra money, like new baseball bat money was through
beanie babies.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: As to ben Elon Rescues, TikTok, like his rumor today,
is he still a super villain? I mean I'm to
say this, however, you if he if he would buy TikTok.
Whatever you feel about Elon Musk is just going to deepen.
If you think he's a super villain, you're gonna think
that he has even bigger supervillain potentially. If you think
him as a hero, well he's gonna have superhero potential.
That's what I'm It's just gonna be a There would
be an insane amount of control to have.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, I don't think my opinion would change of Elon,
like bought it in or not bought it. It has
to been. You're playing truth or dare and they dare
you to go home?
Speaker 3: What do you do?
Speaker 5: You have to it's them's the rule, truth or dare?
Were you a dare or truth?
Speaker 7: I was always a dare?
Speaker 4: Te or you for t Pop it might be more
terrifying truth.
Speaker 5: But the thing, here's the thing about T Bob, Right,
So we used to we tried to play this game
chew or Spew where you had to either tell the
truth or you had to eat something real nasty. We
only did it once because Mario messed it up, and
T Bob's like, look, I'm kind of an open book.
There's not a lot that I won't say about myself.
And so the game kind of backfired on me with
T Bob. So I would still I would say, I
mean I'm there, I'm going there. I mean, let me
do something, let me do the stupid thing.
Speaker 2: Because you're always playing when you're trying to like make
out or pall at each other.
Speaker 5: So, yes, it was always there, like hey, you got
to jump off this roof into the pool, and it's like.
Speaker 3: Let's go.
