It feels so accurate. I keum sealing a coat seems wild, y'all.
Speaker 6: Don't put your coats away.
Speaker 2: You got the shot back. You got a moth ball
in there too. My coat goes in my closet with another.
Speaker 6: Clothes stuff in there.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's so good. It's fund to say. I used
to do that. Don't worry.
Speaker 5: Like when we would for the year move from San
Diego back to Baton Rouge for the off season, and
we're trying to pack as much as we could in
our car that we were getting shipped.
Speaker 2: We'd vacuum seal a lot of stuff.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, to get the old shot back stays from room. Yeah,
that car would be packed. There could be a driver
and that's it. Yeah, sorry for the efficiency everybody.
Speaker 2: But really though the scene on TV, they used to
get me all.
Speaker 7: The time, Well, I really do put my winter clothes
up because I don't have room to have them out.
Speaker 2: Victoria doesn't do it? What where did you put it?
Speaker 7: Usually when it's like, I don't do it in March

How are we living? Okay?
Speaker 4: I'm I have to have a talk with our guy,
Paul O'Neill. This happens every day, and I'm drawing the
line you would think when you plugged in your headset
that if it's the same person every day, the headset
would be on the same volume.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: I'm surprised every morning which he hits the open. Sometimes
it's so loud that my ear drums start bleeding, and sometimes,
like this morning, it's so quiet.
Speaker 2: I wonder if these headsets are working.
Speaker 4: So I can only assume at this point he's just
doing it to mess with me, because I don't know
why you would change your headset volume.
Speaker 2: But where we're at, goodness, gracious, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 5: I've heard Paul talk a couple of times at least
three words for two years.
Speaker 2: Make him defend himself. Yeah, no, I just like, get.
Speaker 6: In here and walk the plank.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, dare you move these volume knobs? Hmm.
Speaker 4: It's just one of those things where it's like I
don't know what volume it is till she hits the
So it's.
Speaker 2: Like I can't Yeah, there's no dial just it's all
you get these volume knobs. You go and feel like, yes,
there's there's a knob. Yeah I have I have a nob.
Speaker 4: But I'm saying like it doesn't say a volume level.
Is what you're saying.
Speaker 2: It's oh, yeah, it's all vibes. So like, I just.
Speaker 4: Gotta wait till she plays the open like yesterday had
scared me so loud.
Speaker 2: They don't know what the effect on my long term
hearing is. This job is gonna have. But my ear
drums do get blown out quite often. Oh that's what
we sacrifice for people gotta have These takes pods are
gonna give us all something.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I like a wire. It makes me feel a little
bit more cozy, but in the long term health, I.
Speaker 4: Don't do a wire, but I don't I don't have airbuds.
I do the headset what like the headset like the
over there, Yeah, but I don't.
Speaker 2: Do the can't have money. I mean, I feel like
there's more known about this copper wire that runs near
your brain stem than the bluetooth whatever the stuff is.
Going to that AirPod.
Speaker 5: Kids live in air pods now, yeah, well like older,
like you're probably not there yet. My kids got the wires. Yeah,
but older they do. High school kids air pods at
all times.
Speaker 2: Hey, we'll see, we'll see see what happens. Are you
gonna be the dad like bands anything? Fun? I'll pan
a lot of fun, certainly, certainly, I'll band lot of fun.
It felt like it.
Speaker 5: The more the more you talk about it, the more
it feels like that's gonna be you.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know what that really means.
But will there be disciplined in my household? Absolutely?
Speaker 5: Well, you know, like things that maybe you didn't have
growing up, but they happen now and they're.

Speaker 7: No, Bluetooth is not gonna be microwavy my kid's brain, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but yeah, we don't have we don't have
the cord liss just yet. We're gonna let that brain
develop a little bit more. We've used the bluetooth for years.
I'm only moderately messed up, which is good enough for me. Yeah,
so it'll be fun.
Speaker 6: He's so messed up. He only thinks he's moderately messed up.
Speaker 2: That's right. That is zero self awareness I do.
Speaker 5: I do last sometimes like when maybe my mom or
Katie or somebody will like say it's like, yeah, you
know that's that's gonna be good for your long term,
And I always say, like, hey, you know, I've plucked
Ray Lewis and Patrick Willis and like James Harrison and
Ed Reid and Troy Palamala for a living for like
six years.
Speaker 2: It's already the damage is done. It's already happened, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: So like I'm gonna live because my brain's mush anyways
from a good cause. Hell, I would do it all
again too. I'd run it back knowing would I know,
I'd still run it back.

you just gotta say it with confidence, say with the
chest app They then have self awareness Taylor, Yep.
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't think I told y'all this because
I think it was after the last time we talked.
When I was in Indy, so a lot of times
I knew who was coming on or at least had
an idea. So you know, you're you're prepping. You get
all the names, and for the most part, you knew
ninety five percent of them already from covering them in college.
But like Saturday was a little bit different. It was
kind of more on the fly and like it was
offensive lineman day. So I like, grab, grab, grab, grab whatever,
like hey, sit in front of you, like on air,
like I would have two and then on air they
would leaven two more would come. So I was like,
all right, well, hope I know these young lads and
like we're almost done. And my producer throws a sheet
in front of me with a name that had seventy
three vowels and boy.
Speaker 6: And it looked like specific islander.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it looked like somebody just took alphabet soup ye,
put it in their hand and just threw it on
the wall like that letter, but typically go next to
that letter.
Speaker 2: Jake's like, do I have to unscramble this word is
sent this joke. That's when you just go with the
two initials. That's when you go with the first the
first name, last name. And what's a big guy. It's
up J T H. But it's got their it's got
their school next to So what did you go?

I went for it. I was a couple of syllables off,
but not too bad. Okay, I went for it. Yeah,
Like what else am I going? To do, was it?
Speaker 2: But honestly, though, is anybody ever gotten it right first
time out? Probably so he's probably used to. He's probably like,
that's fine. Yeah, uh, you just call me Jim.
Speaker 5: But you want to talk about instant sweat for me
because you know it's somebody's name.
Speaker 2: Like, we're all prideful in our name, certainly our last name.
Speaker 5: For the most part, people are prideful, love it, sweaty palms.
Speaker 2: The most important name in the world to anybody is
their own name, and you want to get it right.
I never do, but you I want to try to.
So it is a little nerve breaking. Even with simple names.
It's like, man, I want to screw.

interviewing her, like, and she was like, you know, I
was just giving you a hard time.

answer your question.

weeks in her well. He was just like, let me
give the student ego check.

unless you do it twice. I think she said that.
Speaker 6: That's good advice.
Speaker 2: Good.
Speaker 5: She was trying to coach against Texas and then kind
of spaced out because she was like, what was he.
Speaker 2: Trying to ask me? She knew? No, she didn't. She
knew this guy. Yeah, I can't mess up a question.
Yesterday too, guys hand in the air. I didn't say

this word salad coming out, and I was I knew

execute it. Couldn't figure out the way to land the plane.
And I was like, this is an important question I'm
asking Jay Johnson about like the recent losses, and like
question needs to be asked. And I couldn't figure out
how to land the plane. It just kept circling the runway.
You did, and then it crashed landing You ran out
of gas couldn't get the couldn't get wheels down the
landing gear. But she had to get down, so I
had to get down at some point. It was a
little bumpy. I was embarrassed. I thought about it for

putting it on and playing it. Now it's all digital.
But yeah, a little bit of a dinosaur. They don't
even like because we have serious in our cars, because
it's part of like being an employee. You get it,
you know, And so they like to go and like
they can see what the song is as soon as
they go there, and if they don't like it, they
go to the next and the next and the next.

Speaker 2: True? You're not selling it.
Speaker 6: Well, I'm not trying to invite.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she can't give details doing I'm saying a big party.
Speaker 5: You know, he's so he is weird, like he is
super weird about like a lot of people.
Speaker 2: He always has, but I do not, like a lot
of people always have. I'm with you on that, dude,
unless buies. Yeah, but that's still your people though. Yeah,
I mean.
Speaker 5: We should have bought Bogies a couple of years ago
to us for sale. Yeah, we could have put it
out of business too. Yeah, but it have been fun,
you know what.
Speaker 2: Fun. That's a good point. Hey, look, I actually have
a sports tease for next segment. Okay, all right, you
ready for this. I'm gonna tell you why when we
come back. Oh, I'm gonna tell you why the Raiders
should not pick Fernando Mendoza number one, all number one overall,
right here and off the bench.
Speaker 1: Off the bench, all right.
Speaker 5: When it's time to kick back and enjoy the game,
make sure you've got the right beer in your hand.
Speaker 2: And that right beer is Dose Sechy.
Speaker 5: So whether you're watching the big matchup, grilling with friends,
or just unwinding after a long day, to second he
delivers the crisp, refreshing taste that always hits the spot.
The smooth lagger, the richiem, or whatever your style is,
it's a perfect fit for game day. So next time
you're stocking the cooler for the weekend or heading to
a watch party, make sure do Skis is in the lineup.
And it's not just in the lineup, it's hitting lead off.
Oh yeah, yeah, I remember that from yesterday. Doseki stays
thirsty my friends and always enjoy responsible.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow it might hit first, second, third, but my hit
all nine one or nine tomorrow is a wearing of
the grains. So if you don't want to get pinched,
make sure you having a green bottle pinched. How about
a green can? It's no sexies, uh, you know, cut loose,
have a little fun and make sure you're doing it responsibly.
But when you do it, make sure you're doing it
with the absolute best beer around. That's do Seki's gope.
Speaker 3: For dots, Tigers turn talkers.
Speaker 1: This is off the bench.
Speaker 6: She says, she.
Speaker 2: Usually don't, but no, no, the shee front start to
know she won't she.
Speaker 10: Lead on, won't seem like she's gez. I ain't saying
what you won't do, but you know we're probably don't
do what you canvened and deepen, I'm not what you drinking.
Speaker 2: Don't let it sinking for the weekend.
Speaker 6: Thinking.
Speaker 5: All right, welcome back in O t B here live
from the Raising Kine studio. Before Flynn tells you why
he's not gonna draft Fernando Mendoza number one overall, I
want to remind you better friends over at rawsys dot com.
Speaker 2: Is the website.
Speaker 5: What you go to the website, put in your location,
It's gonna pull up the store that is nearest you.
It's gonna pull up the weekly ads for your store.
Once you go in the story and be like, wow,
this is awesome. I got crawlfish in here, got a
breakfast bar, got a lunch bar, sushi bar, they got
meals already ready to go for me. All I got
do is walk in, grab them entree sides everything. They
got all this local stuff there, and I can stay
hydrated with my high What can't they Do's.
Speaker 2: Gonna be the question you ask yourself.
Speaker 5: Go to Rouses dot com, Rouses dot com. All right,
missus Flynn, all right, what's up? No, mister Fernando Mendoza
number one overall.
Speaker 2: Okay, so here's here's what I kind of want to
get out. I'm not here trying to say, you know,
i'saw a lot of people in the chat saying, let's
hear you know Matt talked about how much better Tie
Simpson is than Fernanda Mendoza. Nope, that's all what I'm doing.
I'm saying that Bannana Mendoz is absolutely the best quarterback
in this draft. Now, I just want to put together
kind of an argument of why the Raiders should not
draft him number one overall. Instead, what I think they
should do tried to find a suitable partner with the
Jets to move up a pick and do a little
trade zas so they can get for Nana men Doze.
And here's the reason why if I'm arguing this Raiders,
they just traded for Geno Smith. So so that's out
and a lot of this is out the win. This
is all hypothetical situation. I do think vanamen Doza, of course,
is the best quarterback in this draft, and he deservedly
will be the number one draft pick. The Raiders will
pick him with the number one. I just want to
lay out the argument of how historically not well the
number one pick being a quarterback usually turns out for
your team. There have been twenty six quarterbacks taken number
one overall in the Super Bowl era, four have made
the Hall of Fame. Four of them. Now there's two
others that will. That's Eli Manning and Matthew Stafford. Those
two will make the will make the Hall of Fame.
But since eventually twenty six have been taken and only
four have made the Hall of Fame. It's Terry Bradshaw,
Peyton Manning, John Elway, Troy Yikman. Those four have made
it going number one overall. Only three quarterbacks taken number
one since the year two thousand have reached the Super
Bowl with the team that drafted them, Eli Manning, Jared Goff,
Joe Burrow. So with the team that drafts the number
one overall, because why usually a number one quarterback is
going to a bad team. So, like I'm talking, we're
not even talking about winning the super Bowl. We're talking
about going to a Super Bowl. And it has like
this kind of the thought for most people with teams.
When you think about it, and the way I think
about teams, you draft a quarterback when you want a quarterback.
You don't draft a quarterback when you desperately need a quarterback.
You have to be ready for that quarterback. You know,
the Jets they would. You have to have you have
to have like a suiting partner. You have to have
a partner that's willing to trade as well. So who
knows if they would do it. But if the Raiders
traded back, because historically speaking, the number one pick, if
it's a quarterback, does not work out, at least for
the team that picks them. I found that a wild
stat that the number one picks a quarterback, and twenty
six picks in the Super Bowl era, only four are
in the Hall of Fame and only two are guaranteed
to be in it. Past that, you can't say Joe
Burrow is guaranteed to be in it, Oh he's too young.
Eli Manning, Matthew Stafford Hall of Fame, those two have
not been inducted obviously, but they will be. So that's
six Taylor. What do you think should they draft him? No,
the just of the the historically bad, not bad. Historically
number one picks not turn it out very well, at
least for the team that picks right.
Speaker 4: I like the breakdown because, like you mentioned Eli, like
Eli was drafted by the Chargers, he just used to
go play for him, So it's like true, is he
a Hall of Famer if he goes a place for the Chargers,
who knows, nobody worked out, Like Philip was great there,
but like.
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean better than Eli. He just didn't win
super well.
Speaker 4: And that's what I'm saying, Like that doesn't mean Eli
is going to be good there, Like what if he's
not even so, like one of the two you mentioned.
Speaker 2: Is he a Hall of Famer if he goes to
the team that drafted him? Right, because they could Like,
let's just say the Raiders could get the Jets to
trade with him. The Jets, I don't know if they
have it anymore, but they when I wrote this down,
they had the number two and the number sixteen pick.
What if you get both those picks for the number
one so they get for Nanda, you take let's just
say Ty Simpson when I'm not saying like he's the
franchise guy. Let's just say you need him or you
take somebody else at two a lynch Pin on defense,
and then take ty Simpson at sixteen because he'd probably
be there at sixteen, Like, could you come out better
in the long run? I think he could? Like is
Fernando Mendoza going to be the fourth person that goes
to a Super Bowl with the team that drafted them.
I doubt it. Doubt the Raiders are going because you draft,
you need to draft a quarterback when you're ready for one,
not when you want one. Yeah.
Speaker 5: So if the Raiders didn't do that, and it's look,
it's words, a lot of numbers don't.
Speaker 2: But you trade Geno Smith, all right?
Speaker 5: The current free agent quarterbacks technically to a tongue by
lowis still because he's a June first cut guy. So
even though he's gonna be a Falcon, it's done on
the books yet. Uh, Kirk Cousins, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson,
Joe Flacco, Tyrod Taylor, Jimmy Garoppolo, Zach Wilson, and Trey Lance.
Speaker 2: So what do you do if you don't take Fernando Mendoza.
I mean that's a good question, Like it depends on
what you can get. I guess for that. And look again,
now the Raiders are gonna take for Nancy. But the
guy that's making decisions, Tom Brady. He wouldn't.
Speaker 5: First round pick, wasn't the second round pick, wasn't. I
mean he waited, he wait a long time to hear
his name. Yep, he's the greatest to ever do it, right.
Speaker 2: So he is.
Speaker 5: He is literally looked in the mirror and seeing a
guy do it. That was not the first overall pick
for sure. I mean you could get a treasure chest
for that pick. Now you thought you're gonna have another
pick as a Max Crosby.
Speaker 2: Deal, right now, you thought you were gonna have so Obviously,
clearly they are valuing more picks very highly, right and
they got the biggest trade piece right now they have
one quarterback on their roster. Yep. I mean you could
do a couple of things. I mean you can, depending
on you. I just said, if you could trade with
the Jets and get their two n sixteen pick, you
could take Ty Simpson at sixteen and then also go
sign Kirk Cousins. Kirk Cousins is a plug and play
guy for a year, right, Like, and you're not going
to the playoffsers the super Bowl next year, Raiders, I'm sorry, Yeah,
you got you're building.
Speaker 5: A team if you could get to sixteen and a
third to sixteen and a third, yeah, Like, because you
just don't know what Bernandum Mendoza's you don't you don't
know what any.
Speaker 2: Quarterback is going to do. You can make a guess.
You can say, man, this guy's I love the way
he interviews, I love the way he plays. I'm pretty
sure he is. He had a higher percent chance of
working out than the other people. But you never, I mean,
you never really know. And I just laid out how
successful number one picks have been at the quarterback position
in the Super Bowl era. And now I'm not saying
that there hasn't been. Of the twenty six pick, four
of them have made the Hall of Fame. That doesn't
mean the others aren't good, but a lot of them aren't.
A lot of them didn't pan out because they're going
to bad teams. They're going to teams that need to
take quarterbacks. They're not going to teams that just that's
the that's the piece they need to put in. That's
something that's not the final piece. So I don't know.
I think that you can build if I'm if I'm
I was a GM might be trading so much I'd
be making you'd be Belichick just back in so many
trades and building a deep roster.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the thing that they had to do more than
anything was solidify their offensive line. So Tyler Lindenbaum and
if you want to hear from Tyler Lindenbaum NFL Radio
later this afternoon, Channel eighty eight, check that out. Got
him coming on you. Slide over Jackson powers Johnson to
guard Colton. Miller is going to be healthy. So that's
going to help a ton right there for them ashen
Genty needs an offensive line in front of him. He
was dead last in yards before contact last year, dead
last because it was so bad.
Speaker 2: I don't hate the move.
Speaker 5: I don't know that I would necessarily do it right now,
but I don't hate it. I just found that when
I started, when I started looking it up, I started,
I found it fascinating at how infrequently that number one
picks at quarterback actually work out.
Speaker 2: At the end of the of the day.
Speaker 5: Though you know this as well as I do, because
you played for him up against some of a ton
my entire career.
Speaker 2: The Raiders is gonna raider. Yeah, even when you have
the goat running things. That's what I'm saying. You can
find a trade part of the Jets because they're gonna.
Speaker 5: Jet, no doubt, all day, air day.
