happened y'all?
Speaker 3: Welcome man, Oh, don't set the mood here on a
little Tuesday.
Speaker 2: Marn tell Marianna, I can't believe this is the Christmas
song that like it is about to run out of
time too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you put the whole song on the tale coward,
What do you mean?
Speaker 4: What if we wanted to jam do it?
Speaker 3: You just arbitrarily cut it off. No, it's okay, it's okay.
Speaker 4: Welcome in everybody that like along with welcome to the show.
It's in there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's tied. That's tied in the overall audiophiles rough.
But then she she got scared to uh she she
got she she do. Yeah, yeah, it's because it's because
the normal song, you know, kind of sucks.
Speaker 6: Wait, sabotage is a great song.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, but like when you hear it like
every day, this is like this is like you no,
don't know, because anytime you hear a song every day
year round, of course you're going to get like a
little you know, it's gonna become a little rot, a
little tired. Hope ever, alady having a great day. I
was having one of those mornings where you know, I'm
like and it gets working yesterday and then you know,
these mornings didn't work out, and I'm like, oh man,
like you know, I'm like stress about life and like
trying to plan things out, and then I swear and
seeks merry Christmas came on. I was like, what am
I doing? You know? Why am I worrying about all
this stuff? You worry about it all the time and
it all works out anyway, So how about you just
don't worry about it during Christmas? You know, just just
just allow yourself to be freed of it. The life stuff,
the work stuff, it'll all take care of itself because
it always does. So just I don't know, it's put
me in the best mood, just moving a little love
this morning, moving happiness, moving joy, and just try to
infect those around you with said joy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, like Scott would say, embrace it with arms wide open,
you know, exactly exactly. And so that's how we're trying
to move today. And we got a very good show
planned for you today.
Speaker 3: We'll tug a little money night football last night Almeo
Cowboys O our king Derek Carr maybe out for the year.
We'll see our king Derek Carr. So it means it's
time to you know, maybe now officially decide whether or
not my balls survive the twenty twenty four football season.
We'll do it real Texas Bowl preview. This time. We'll
give you a little Baylor scouty Romport, give you an
idea of who you're gonna be playing in the bowl game.
Shout out to everybody who watched their excellent breakdown on
YouTube yesterday. We know the Heisman finalists. Now we got
some pertl news. Greg Burns trying to gaslight us. We
got mail bag, got coach Maulk, got Zuckerberg in here.
I got a flirtly pizza story in here. Transfer like
I said so, and we gotta tell you this infol
story of today. We've got a lot going on. So
if you wanna hang out with this YouTube dot com
Slash one four five ESPN, you can hop the value
for it YouTube chat.
Speaker 7: And kick it with us there. What's up, guys? How
are you feeling today? I'm you know, feeling good like you.
It's December, we're getting what's today, the tenth and so
it's starting to kind of get into the Christmas spirits.
Oh yeah, we hear a little bit, you know, trying
to figure out exactly how we're going to do it
because I'm going to be on the road so much.
I'm trying to figure out, you know, which trips the
kiddos and the family maybe can kind of come with
me there.
Speaker 4: So we were trying to figure that out last night. Guys.
Speaker 7: It's it's gonna be a little hectic, but you know what,
I'm glad this time of the year is here tis
the season.
Speaker 3: What about you, Laundra, How are we doing?
Speaker 6: I'm doing great? I feel good.
Speaker 5: We I did get a workout in yesterday at the
best little power hour, which the power hours are seriously
the best, because I get up.
Speaker 6: And I'm sore, like almost immediately.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good feeling walking around. Sores are the
best feelings in the world. A little different than the
Power hour that I used to do in college.
Speaker 6: I would imagine I would probably think so too. Yeah,
a little confused story since they've been closed for like
a year now.
Speaker 3: Well, I guess you're just gonna have the wait, aren't you,
and figure it out, how exactly? Trying to learn for
the best man if you if you want to if
you want to be the best, you got to imitate him,
right uh them? Yeah? Uh, what's up, dude?
Speaker 4: How are you doing today?
Speaker 8: Oh, we are doing well.
Speaker 9: Also got in a nice shoulder workout from repeatedly throwing
my remote control. Yeah yeah, we're we're filling good. We're
storage just like a launcher this morning. We're in the
same boat. But uh uh, all right, let's here, we're
having fun.
Speaker 3: Let's go ahead then and get this thing started. It's
time to get to work.
Speaker 1: Courtesy of Tiger Labor and Staffing, where they can help
take care of screening, training, payroll, and more.
Speaker 3: Now for starters, the shortest waiting period in the industry,
Tiger Labor makes an easy chance for top talent in
your payroll quickly. Is Tiger Labor personally bets your work
force of all your staffing needless is a short term
needs or long term needs? Remember we're not just fording
resumes to you. Okay, we are interviewing and dispatching in
person every morning at five a m. How about the
Cowboys Taylor Sharp, really back and forth game last night,
really sloppy game in a lot of ways all the
way around last night. But really all you need to
talk about is the ending. As the Cowboys have all
the momentum in the world, Bingals stopped, forced to punt
it back to then the Cowboys blocked the punt, and
then and and and Okay, I'm sure you knew this, Jake,
but Alondra, did y'all know after a block that you
could have touched that has played out like a normal
punt if it goes downfield? Because I gotta be honest,
at the time, I was non tel shirt. I you assumed, Okay, Yeah,
I went, I went, I went. You well, I went
sure it was one of those things where like what
there's a rule where hmm, like like what's the quirk
on special teams, Jake, where one team touches it and
then so the other team can touch it, but they
can't fumble it. I'm trying to remember, like even if.
Speaker 4: They fuggle, it doesn't matter when a punt return.
Speaker 7: Yes, if I'm the returner, you touch it, yeah, and
I can pick it up and if I fumble it,
it's still our ball.
Speaker 3: Yes, Okay, So I thought that maybe the block triggered
something like that because.
Speaker 4: My team had touched it.
Speaker 3: Yes, because my team had touched it, and then like
I don't know that you can maybe fumble what you
can touch it?
Speaker 4: No, not the case.
Speaker 3: It's just a tipped punt and it's still normal punt.
And I guess the Cowboys didn't know either, because who
wasn't that tried to feel the field of Taylor?
Speaker 4: Oh it was uh guy. They just caught up from
the practice.
Speaker 3: Yeah. First, you know, they were talking, sad, I shouldn't
be laughed.
Speaker 8: They were talking. They were like just calling him off.
I was like about to just send him back down.
Speaker 3: I mean, not just send him down send him packing
more like than not. Uh yeah, So the Cowboys try
to field the block punt, they fumble, they give it
back to the Bengals, and then uh Lisa Simpson puts
Homer Simpson on skates and finds her way to the
end zone Bingals. When Cowboys lude lose, the Parson Pod
is about to go crazy.
Speaker 8: Ta te Yeah. Probably mke got a pretty good game, though.
Speaker 4: Why is he always so tired? Well, I hope everyone is.
Speaker 8: I don't know, but you're right about like every place.
Speaker 7: His hands on his knees, like bending over, which there's
no air down there, as Tommy Maffi used to teach us.
But it's weird, like he's always and I know he does,
honestly give a ton of effort. It's not an effort
thing because he still gives the same effort the next play.
He doesn't take plays off, but I mean always.
Speaker 8: I'm not gonna be like, oh, well, it's practice.
Speaker 3: But he was.
Speaker 8: He was hurt all off season.
Speaker 9: I mean, maybe he's condition He's not where it should
be at this point in the year you would think
it should be.
Speaker 3: I think he just probably plays like a psycho and
he's just tired.
Speaker 4: It's just weird. I don't know that I've ever really seen.
Speaker 8: That, and he he hadn't done it in years past.
Speaker 3: Really, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Maybe you watched. You watched way more Cowboys than I,
So I don't want to tell you anything.
Speaker 8: I've noticed it more this year.
Speaker 9: I guess, like when your team's losing, you notice everything,
you know what I mean, like you try to pick
holes and everything.
Speaker 3: But so, what was your reaction when you saw the
funneled punt? Just?
Speaker 9: I mean, I think I'll text you guys you laugh?
I did, Oh, yeah, I did, And I'll tell you guys.
Speaker 8: I was like, what luck?
Speaker 9: I was like, this team cannot get out of their
own way. It was like you had this game, what
all you had to do was get out of the way.
Speaker 8: And they just they couldn't do it.
Speaker 3: Uh. What did y'all think about the So you finally
figured out who Ralph Wiggams was last night?
Speaker 8: What did you him on the show? I didn't know
who he was.
Speaker 3: What did y'all think about the oh crap? What did
y'all think about the Simpsons game last night?
Speaker 4: It was good?
Speaker 9: I tuned in for Oh, I don't know, you know,
ten to fifteen plays just to check it out. I
didn't watch the allle broadcast, but I say you what
I saw the Kate York field goal and the goalpost
was doughnuts, which was really that part.
Speaker 8: It was as good as a toy story. What would
I enjoyed it?
Speaker 3: I agree the setting of the Toy Story one was better.
In Andy's room made a lot of sins.
Speaker 8: Well, and Slinky was the first down market.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the setting was better, but the technological execution
was a bit better in this one.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The toy store one had a lot of uh jankiness
to it. They're starting to flesh out the tech h
I think probably the cool well, look, one of the
funniest parts of being a live animate the characters on it, right,
I mean literally on the game winning touchdown, it's very
funny looking. Look it up on mine. You had Homer
Simpson throw an out route to Lisa Simpson who then
bro excuse me, no, no, Bart through an out route
to Lisa, who then broke Homer down. I mean you
see Homer fly up to try to make the tackle,
fall down to his hands, hit the jets behind Lisa.
It's all very cool. Probably the other highlight that sticks
out to me. And this is part of the coolest
thing you can do and stuff like that is the
camera is free, right, you do what everyone with the
camera did. Y'all see when they on the fourth and
three stop when they had the camera on mo and
it's like floating over him like it's almost like a
video game. I thought that was that was pretty cool.
So overall, very fun. A little Funday night football.
Speaker 4: I want to.
Speaker 7: Encourage this sort of creativity. I thought this was a
good time. I watched a little bit of it. I
was sitting here thinking though about the block punt. I
forgot this did happen to me one time in my
career in the playoffs. Ooh, We're playing against the Jets
divisional round and I think I think seventeen ten, it
might be seventeen thirteen, and I go up and under
and I blocked the punt, but it went eight yards
four forward.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so we actually we caught it and returned
it there.
Speaker 7: But that actually doesn't And so I was trying to
think of the rule and like, okay, like well why
can you why can you touch and why.
Speaker 3: Can you pick it up?
Speaker 7: Because if it does go forward, then it becomes like
a just a regular legal punch. It doesn't matter who
touched it. It doesn't matter if you know, you hit
it off your own player's helmet like whatever.
Speaker 4: Like so like all the.
Speaker 7: Rules go back to normal, normal rules. And so that's
one of those things to bob in training camp. And
you know, the time that you have, the extra time
that you go over it's kind of like the the
rule like if you're on kickoff return and the look,
this happened to me in the in the bad way.
And if I you know, if I catch your return
and I step out of bounds, Okay, well it's right there, yeah,
stay right there. But if I go out of bounds
and then put one foot in one foot out and
catch it, the legal kick even if I have a
foot in bounds. So like there's little quirky rules like
that you go over all during training camp. But come on, man,
I don't even know this guy was on the practice squad,
deering training camp.
Speaker 4: He might have been another organization.
Speaker 3: Yeah problem, yeah, yeah yeah. Wait hit that hit That
hit that Jamar Chase came when he touched on Simpsons
time one more time?
Speaker 4: Have you seen this?
Speaker 3: Jid Jake look at this. So Bart drops back. Here's
but oh later on her own dad, on her own father,
look at Jamar, Jamar Simpson, Lisa Chase. Whatever you saying,
look a good A good time, A good time.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: Oh, Ryan Sling says, morning y'all and snowing in twenty
eight and Glen daven Montana. Oh man, hell that sounds
amazing right now, dude, Montana, this time of year snow
christal I mean not maybe not to like live like constantly,
but like oh little Christmas highs.
Speaker 8: Yeah, ain't bad. Like it gets cold up there. They're
like too cold for me.
Speaker 3: That's the coldest one I've ever been in. My dad's
best friend, Mike Hagan shut out rest in Peace legend.
He was a legendary member of the Power Team. Yeah,
these kids don't know about power. The Power Team you
came through evangel He then later started the Strength Team.
But y'all, y'all know about no power?
Speaker 4: What is what is that?
Speaker 3: Uh? Do you care about weightlifting? Evangelicals bros that would
come into your church and or school. They would smash
bricks that were on fire with their heads. They would
bitch four hundred and five hundred pounds laying on a
bed of nails, they'd rip phone books and a chance
all in the name of Christ.
Speaker 8: We had this. We had this.
Speaker 9: Ours was called Team Impact. There was a group that
did it in in this area, the same thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, your little great value. That ain't the Power Team.
I mean it's literally the only one that was, and
that was Mike and when he made the String Team,
that's the only other one that all that.
Speaker 8: There is a big difference.
Speaker 3: The Impact Team is whatever. But bruh, you ain't gonna
sit here and try to I mean, what are you
talking about. It's like claiming that minor league hockey is
like the NHL. I love the Zyda code. Okay, there's
a hilarious amount of fights and Zyder cook Way too.
Some psychos in the crowd. No no, but uh but
but anyway, anyway, anyway passed the crowd. I forgot, Oh
the whole point of this. I mean, Chatt power to
We showed highlights.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I think the most impressive is the phone.
Speaker 3: Book phone books wild it's it's it's crazy. So I
mean again, that was my dad's best friend. Grew up
together or grew you know, our we're kids, say ay, divis.
We all grew up together and he used to do
this stuff all the time, like ripped decks of cards,
phone books.
Speaker 4: It was insane to watch live.
Speaker 3: But h but he lived in Missoula, Montana, and we
went up there one time and it was negative eight degrees.
Speaker 7: So it's kind of pointless story. It's cool, it's not
it's zeri cool. It's real, zeri cool. Yeah, my last
game in Denver was negative seven. Yeah, that's real.
Speaker 3: It hurts.
Speaker 4: But the Power Team, now that's badass.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, dude. All right, when we get back, let's
do a couple of things. First off, we have to
sing send our sweet prints into the night as Derek

Speaker 4: It's Off the Bench with Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 3: All Right, dude, just so these people know, Taja, now
this is new age power team, a little bit not
super new, but this is an eighties power team. But
let these people know what the power team was all about. Wait,
we gotta have volume of this. Start over, start a
right start. Oh yeah, dude, look at this.
Speaker 4: Bricks with the head.
Speaker 8: Dude, she was.
Speaker 2: To look at that.
Speaker 3: Nobody knows where those are anymore. Those old bladders that
people used to use back in the day to warm
up underneath their bed. You know how hard it would
be to blow that up with your lungs.
Speaker 4: I don't know how that guy got in the bar.
I mean he never that phone book?
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Sure, let's not really.
Speaker 4: Look at this, dude.
Speaker 3: Phone book after a phone book?
Speaker 4: Do people even know what a phone book is anymore?
Probably very thick book that used to serve is the Internet.
Speaker 3: It was your Google. Yeah, bending rebar with the mouth,
Oh yeah, look at that after all those phone books
and bending all this stuff because you about to snap
that bat next.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he is easy.
Speaker 2: Out of here.
Speaker 3: See that's that's you know, you just got to get
the right. How many bats they go through in a year?
Speaker 4: Yeah, those aren't cheap. No, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Bro, this there's making like ten wooden bats of piece.
There's two people committee and now I feel like and
then look and then you know what, and now we're
preaching the good word. Baby, all right there it is. Wow.
The power is electric electric? Uh, Taylor is do you
feel like your life's been changed?
Speaker 4: The Landra?
Speaker 3: How do we feel?
Speaker 6: I just love that they're doing all of this in
the name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 4: Exactly right, That's what I'm saying. Bruh.
Speaker 3: The path to evangelism can be wide. You know, it
is not a narrow path. Creativity is king straight up,
including rip these power but ripped these phone books. Yeah,
and slammed my head through thirty bricks.
Speaker 4: Stacked up that are on fire.
Speaker 3: That was the one that always stuck with me growing up,
was headbutting the bricks that were on fire. I thought
that was the craziest thing I ever seen in my
entire life.
Speaker 4: I don't know, the phone book just always that was
the one for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I'm like, man, I get some big hands. I'm pretty strong.
I can't budget this thing.
Speaker 3: Officially ready for Tuesday, says Bundy Money. I agree, right
all right with that in mind, our King Derek Carr. Unfortunately,
he took to the air like a soaring eagle and
like it. Chris the Wax melted off his wings and
he fell to the ground, breaking his left hand and
getting wings wing wings.
Speaker 4: Get those maybe a bowl appearance at Fresno.
Speaker 3: Yeah, jill out, he gets a twelve four season ring.
If you do that Oakland, you get a ring. But
he took off into the air and then crashed back
to the ground and broke his hand and got a concussion.
Oh stop stop, he's trying to put it on for
the team. It is, it is, there is something. So
you know, Pananski here had the old viral clip of
him trying to run the forty and it's like, you know,
you try to do this one thing and then he
he tears his hamstring, he falls and snaps his collar bone.
There's a little bit of that here where Derek Carr
was trying to get that first out. He takes off
into the air and then it's like an old jeloppy,
an old car where like the hubcap pops off of
an axle breaks and honestly, how he laid there was
you know, there was some dark humor in that for sure.
Speaker 9: Also like like first off, you're like, oh man, I
love my quarterback being aggressive like that, but.
Speaker 8: It was second down, like it wasn't like it.
Speaker 5: I do like it.
Speaker 3: Okay, second down, I'm calling all these Saints fans out.
Everybody was ash. It's beIN TV when he like he
like put his head down on a third down in
the preseason.
Speaker 8: I will agree with you on that. The the criticisms
are not the same.
Speaker 4: I'm looking for something.
Speaker 3: I know I get it, but I mean, but still,
toughness is toughness, okayrry. I'm not gonna fault somebody, but
Derek put it on the line.
Speaker 7: Once you take off and you're running there, you don't
know if it's first, second, third, or fourth. Maybe you
know it's fourth sometimes, but you see like the yard
marker and you're like, I'll be dan if I'm not
gonna find a waiting.
Speaker 3: Just can't believe he hit the ground and snapped his
arm and his hand got a concussion, so uh real
to so he's not getting put on I r because
he thinks there's a chance that he returns. It's his
non throwing HNT one thing that is okay, all jokes
sidhe for a second three concussions in two years for
car some of you to think about how bad he's
gonna keep playing. I mean, he seems like kind of
absurdly tough, which I guess people don't really give him
all the credit for it. Like, he may not be good,
but he is tough. He plays injured a ton with
some bad injuries, so like I doubt it's gonna keephim out,
but we'll see. So at the time of injury, Rip
King get well soon. Where does Derek Carr rank? Okay, Taylor,
Where does Derek Carr rank in QBR QBR?
Speaker 8: He is thirteen?
Speaker 3: Oh not good? Was he just like eighth? Like a
week ago?
Speaker 4: He was?
Speaker 8: He was sixth in rating?
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay, okay. So quarterback rating, where's he rank?
Speaker 8: He's ten?
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: Completion percentage where's he ran eleventh?
Speaker 8: Okay?
Speaker 3: And then in the single most important stat jake yards
per attempt, where's he ranked eleventh? That's right, boys, I mean,
come on, guys, I'm safe. I'm safe. True true or
false true.
Speaker 9: Because there's nobody likes twelve, nobody likes GBO and if
you average all those together, it's probably still around twelve.
Speaker 3: Let's go, baby, Let's go. The balls are save. Derek
Carr certified Top twelve quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 4: Well, he still can come back, though, that's screw number.
Speaker 3: They can victory lamping tour.
Speaker 4: I think you are. I think you're.
Speaker 7: You know, we've all seen the scenes of the marathon
runners that get the flag and they're holding the flag
up as they're crossing the finish line. Here comes somebody
else a step in front of them. I feel like
that could be you right now, because if he comes back,
he's going to be playing probably like some kind of
a cast on his left hand.
Speaker 4: He's gonna be, you know, struggling to hold the football.
Could be real, dicey.
Speaker 9: But you were also forgetting two weeks ago his quarterback
ready with six now it's two.
Speaker 3: But y'all are, But y'all are forgetting the golden rule
of Derek Carr. The more irrelevant the stakes, the better
he is, true. I mean, come on, boys, you kidding me.
Let the Saints lose a couple of games and Derek
Carr is gonna come back in there like that Kobe
Shack highlight that people always mean with.
Speaker 6: So he'd come back.
Speaker 3: When do I think he'd come back?
Speaker 4: I have no idea. You think two weeks.
Speaker 9: Almost two weeks will play the Raiders and then he'll
play the last game.
Speaker 5: But to your point, that's kind of relevant playing against
your team, so he might crack.
Speaker 3: We're signing in Saint's history again. So I mean Carlton
mcnugget's very funny name.
Speaker 8: Russell, I mean the round let's call him down.
Speaker 3: Let's not talk about that. I mean Stanley Jean Batist's.
Speaker 8: There's another one, the worst.
Speaker 4: Draft, the liner Anthony. Well, I'll say this was Sevon Anthony.
He wasn't good.
Speaker 3: In fact, it ended up being a disaster, but his
rookie year statistically, on paper, he looked really good. He
had like over one hundred tackles and so we all
thought he was good for a minute there, but then
it turns out, no, it was just a really bad
defense and that he was forced to play on. So no,
I mean, but that's the thing, dude, he's not like
and even look at I mean, okay, so are we
being a bit tongue in cheek with his ranking stuff? Yes,
But how much worse could it be if you feel
this bad watching Derek Carr and that's where he ranks,
you know what I'm saying? Yeah, Like, it could get
way worse, guys, and it probably will for the New
Orleans Saints get way worse. Cause you look up right now,
you're five and eight. Look at all the teams that
have three wins. Doesn't seem like they're getting a five,
you know. I mean, all these teams are looking like
they might give four, they're gonna lose out. So like
you're not gonna get a top quarterback in the RAF
even if you did, who knows if they're to get
And I'm not saying this to stick with Derek Carr.
Obviously we're all you know, we're done. It is what
it is, right This era of the Saints is what
it is. You gotta try to find a way out
of it, try to rebuild whatever. Do you bring him
back next to your sure who cares? Whatever? Right or
maybe the cap I go either way, whatever, But my
point is, quarterback play in the NFL right now is
just it. It just sucks, just really sucks. Outside of
the top dogs.
Speaker 7: I mean, to your point, you got the Giant situation
when Daniel Jones is a quarterback, You've got the whole
Vegas situation.
Speaker 4: Regardless of whose quarterback. Will Levis has been bad, Aaron
Rodgers has been bad.
Speaker 7: Bright Shaunk's playing better, but certainly there was large portions
of the year where he was bad.
Speaker 4: You've got Deshaun Watson who was bad. So it's it's
names that we all know.
Speaker 7: And it's been really poor quarterback play at the Dolphin
situation whenever two a toungueer by Lowe goes out, I
mean that was horrendous. Trevor Lawrence has been bad, so
I mean there's been subpar quarterback play. Like there is
a big, big difference between like the group of Josh Allen, Burrow.
Speaker 4: Lamar.
Speaker 7: Jayden's kind of even been in that Jayden's fourth overall
in QBR. But like even Pat Mahomes, like he gets
it done any any games he doesn't. Yeah, it doesn't
look like the normal Patrick Mahomes. And credit to him.
I mean, he's finding a way to win these games
even when it doings off the upright and goes in,
which never happens unless it's God blessed Kansas City Chiefs.
But I mean even Patrick Mahomes is down a bit
compared to what he's always been.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I'm seeing that a lot of
people are getting some sort of audio issues.
Speaker 8: It looks looks like one guy.
Speaker 4: Just no, it's more than there's there's there's more than
on YouTube.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Interesting, they can be so weird trying to troubleshoot
audio stuff sometimes because you never know where it's actually
originally from. All right, well, if it keeps up, we'll
get well, we'll try to. So I don't have a
great point with it's simply to say recognize just how
like yeah, like like we said, how how bad that is?
Speaker 4: This could be?
Speaker 3: How much worse it could get. I'm not telling you
to be like happy for Derek Carr whatever, you know,
I'm you know, we'll get to watch Jake haytern Smitz
Rattler see if there's anything there. I'm just saying that
quarterbacks in a tough spot right now in the NFL.
Speaker 7: You want to hear a wild stat on Derek Carr
and you kind of were talking about this yesterday tea
about maybe the biggest strength of the team if you
would do you remember what you said.
Speaker 3: The biggest strength of the Saints the offensive line.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know he's at least sat you know, in
ten games they've only given up eight sacks.
Speaker 4: Derek Carr. Let's go ten games Cars played only Sack
eight times.
Speaker 3: So you know what this actually does prove to me too, Jake,
we're making about car Carr, Carr, Carr, Carr's about Kubiak,
you know, compared to Pete Carmichael. It is about the
player as well, no doubt about it, right, Pinning stepping
up Flaga as a rookie having to do things, Car
playing well for sure, whatever, But like this is about
Kubiak putting them in infinitely better positions to succeed, managing
to create a rushing attack, taking some of the pressure
off just traditional drop back passing, like everything that Pete
Carmichael was failing to do last year. Kubak's doon a
good job with And it sucks because who even cares
or knows about Kubiak in the wider NFL world, Like
why would you care about anything that the New Orleans
Saints have done this year? But I think contextually, if
you actually look at this offense, he has done a really,
really great job.
Speaker 7: Royce, I couldn't help it, sorry, Royce said, I'm getting
audio issues on my end.
Speaker 4: It sounds like you are still talking about the Saints.
Speaker 3: Ryan's in my audio is messed up. I keep here
in Taylor. I know, I apologize past.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but to your point, they have been putting way
better positions.
Speaker 7: The offense certainly still has diversity to it, like when
we talk about the guys you're throwing to, like it's
it's a yeah, it's a long sting NFL joke whenever
you have a couple of guys like, hey, we're playing
with guys off the street.
Speaker 4: No, they are literally playing with guys off the street.
Guys that really played a little bit in college.
Speaker 7: In some of these cases, weren't even really full time
starters in college, and now they're starting for the New
Orleans Saints. And so that part of it has been
unfortunate because like what if you had Chris lave Rashichihi,
Because even even if you were at full strength, we
still talked about the need for a receiver. Like we
were all surprised in the draft that you went kool
A McKinstry at the time because you still had Latimore
at the time, and you're like, man, you've got some corners,
you've got some guys that can play that position.
Speaker 4: You probably needed to go receiver. And they didn't.
Speaker 7: Well, even those guys that they were counting on those
guys aren't there, and so the offense. And that's why
your leading receiver is Alvin Kamara and he's sixty fifth
in receiving yards in the NFL.
Speaker 3: And you rank like but you rank well in offensive categories.
Speaker 4: No, I know.
Speaker 3: It shows you what a job Kubi X done. All right.
By the way, guys, it looks like a bunch of
people saying restart a YouTube app. And that seems to
be fixing. So there you go.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 3: When we get back more off the bench, let's talk
a little Texas Ball off the then All Star to
to ban Rouge all start Toda of Baton Rouge dot com.
The only thing that gets to be more excited than
the Texas Ball is thinking about all the great deals
going down this holiday season at All Star Toyota of
Baton Rouge. They're located right there at Airline in Goodwood,
very conveniently logan. Hey, remember, guys, you need Colision Center,
a clision shop service center open to all makes and models,
free estimates, excellent lines, communication to the best. But Toyota,
thought's going on? You want to new twenty four Tacoma?
How about just two thirty nine a month. Let's go, dude,
you kidding me? I mean those are the sort of
deal that's like you go in there with a number,
they can find you multiple options to fit said number,
and then you make a choice for you and your family.
Maybe you want a big Tundra Lux HV. You want
to see in a minivan, Join me in the minivan gang.
It's all there at all.
Speaker 7: Start too, it is, and you can rent that vehicle
for the holidays. You got a trip coming up, but
go ahead and save miles on your vehicle. Get something
bigger than you currently have. You can do all of
that over at All Star Toyota, if Vaton rouge account.

mixed in off the bench with hester An Tibob.
Speaker 2: And y'all.
Speaker 3: Welcome back to O t.

Speaker 3: What are you giggling about?
Speaker 4: A long dry I was.

what this is the only one that saw me do it,
and he got the reference.
Speaker 9: That is that is my.
Speaker 8: That is that is I love that movie really, yeah,
like go here.
Speaker 3: It's a very good movie.
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 3: Definitely movie two. Uh, very good at the time, but
there's a lot of very good movies that come out,
one that has stood the uh stood the test of
time a pop culture standpoint, like it's it's one of
those kind of generational movies in that In that regard,
I don't think.
Speaker 6: My father, the inventor of total will be very happy
to hear about this.
Speaker 3: The that Mean Girls musical that ever ended up doing
anything when they're Mean Girls Broadway music.
Speaker 9: I actually wouldn't sell it at the River Center. Really
did like a tour thing.
Speaker 5: How was it?
Speaker 3: It was good?
Speaker 8: My uh, my mother got like all of us like tickets.
Speaker 4: Y'all have a lot of things together. Good for y'allah.
The family, none of.
Speaker 3: The sharps and most wholesome family.
Speaker 7: I know they're always again, none of us have that
option because we're all we're all from different places.
Speaker 4: But good on you always.
Speaker 3: It's like, how like it's so funny. I was. I
was always raised in our household with like a sense
of wonder lust and like you know, get out, get out,
get out, spread spread out. But like I want to
live down the street from my kids. Yeah, like I
want to be on top of it. Yeah, they're gonna
hate it, but nah, they'll.
Speaker 7: Like it, but they will as someone and you can
attest it like as someone who has children and you know,
doesn't have grandparents in the same city.
Speaker 4: They'll appreciate it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, eventually, eventually, probably quadruple bobs getting you know, I.
Speaker 3: Need those grandkids, keep me young, give me something to
live for.
Speaker 9: Five minute drive for my parents, ten minute drive from
my uncle myself.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we get it, dude, We're happy to that's cool.
Like see, and you don't even really appreciate it. You
don't have kids yet. When you have kids, you're gonna
be just You're gonna be that annoying person everybody gets
mad at because you never have to get babysitters or
you're just like, maybe have a nice weekend just you
and yourself.
Speaker 7: You have friends that are like like complain about stuff
like that, and they have like bow sets of grandparents
and they're like, my mom couldn't watch the kids this week,
and I'm like, I will punch you square.
Speaker 3: It's definitely. It definitely is something that makes you a
bit a bit, a bit jelly for sure.
Speaker 5: And I know I always tell my parents like, hopefully
I'll get rich one day. And I could get a
big old house and build you'll like a little tiny
house in the back.
Speaker 3: If they get a little tiny room in the big
house out I mean, it'd be nice.
Speaker 8: We'll put a cot there, it would be nice.
Speaker 6: I would have money.
Speaker 3: Have you hit up our guys Zuckerberg yet not yet?
I mean, come on, were we? But I know building
data center, Wesley, I.
Speaker 5: Know, and I know somebody that the company that's building
it is trying to hire this let's go.
Speaker 6: So I'm like, Okay, if you're gonna go work for.
Speaker 3: Meta and like build this thing, these are your first
up let me know. I was really allowing myself to
be infused with the Christmas spirit and let my uh
economic imagination run wild. Yeah, And I was like, man,
what if, against all odds, Louisiana ends up at the
forefront of the AI revolution, like multiple data centers, maybe
multiple manufacturing plants making the robics, Like what if all
of a sudden Louisiana became uh the hub for AI.
Again not realistic at all, but I mean we might
as well bend over and spread them and just do
everything that we can to try to invite everybody here,
because like it's it's always the new. I meant your arms, guys,
spread your arms with arms, yes, exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Mark Zuckerberg is a tiny man. I don't think.
Speaker 3: Well, okay, you're working in a machine assembly line. You
gotta bend over and hug the robits, tiny little dog robins. Uh.
Speaker 4: Anyway, that's a straight from Mark Wahlberg. Google search. Mark
Wahlberg is like, hew, oh.
Speaker 3: Google, Oh yeah, well I mean he seems Yeah, there
you go, been over and spread your arm.
Speaker 4: Deal with it, Yeah, deal with it. Stop it.
Speaker 3: You cannot be hating on short kings.
Speaker 4: Wahlberg eight.
Speaker 3: Um, yeah, yeah, anyway, I don't know, you know, state
get to the forefront of like an emerging industry and
it ends up like leading to a golden revolution. Who knows,
Probably not gonna have. That'd be tight.
Speaker 2: Though.
Speaker 6: I love your glass half full outlook on life.
Speaker 4: You can blame in sync.
Speaker 3: Blame it on you being a seven thoughts on thoughts?
Uh about his thoughts on thoughts talking sports? I'll spend
thirty seconds on this. If you have never h like,
if you have never talked to a female about a
sport and enjoyed yourself.
Speaker 4: I didn't, didn't, I.
Speaker 3: Don't know what's wrong idea. So you saw that late
last night the amount of followers and LSU fans too,
and it's all it's thea of course, right, people are
gonna run the gamut of opinions, but the amount of
people are like, who's right. It's just like, and I
guess we have ever perspective because so many of y'all
come up to me men and tell me your football takes,
and they're the dumbest things I've ever heard in my
entire life. And yet and yet I entertain them, and
I laugh and I go along and I treat them
with sincerity. Yeah right, it's it's really this conversation is
just pure engagement for me.
Speaker 4: Which will you know? It is what it is? Why?
Speaker 7: So it does piss me off me as well. I
have a wife that her father and her uncle played
in the NFL. Her husband played in the NFL obviously,
and she can talk ball and knows it like inside
and out. My mom's same situation a little bit. I
just did two three hour.
Speaker 4: Shows with Alyssa laying in Atlanta. Never missed a beat.
Speaker 7: If it's Caroline Fitton, yeah, I promise you can X
and O almost anybody in this in this hole, this
building right now, maybe anybody.
Speaker 3: It's such a disingenuous take as to the fact that
it almost doesn't need to be engaged with. It did
make me angry though, But again, the thing that I
cannot understand and I really hesitate to use the word
in cell, but like, have you ever talked to a
woman like I don't understand it? And then there's like
were there's no kind of women agreeing in the comments? Uh, well, yeah,
they probably don't like football. Like you want to talk
to someone that's passionate about something that's the most basic.
That's basic, that's like basic human interaction. If somebody cares
about something, they're fun to talk to that thing about
they don't.
Speaker 4: They don't.
Speaker 3: Also, all you women in the comments, a lot of y'all.
I'm gonna get y'all like y'all Samrina, I mean Sabrina
from a Handmaid's Tail having it? Come on now, come
on now, yeah, pick me exactly exactly anyway, shout out
to I mean, do you know how many women are
in the Whiskey and Wine crew?
Speaker 4: Like, what are we talking about?
Speaker 3: It? It's so stupid, it's so stupid. But again, I
know he's trolling the guys. He's engagement far me. He
works for Jason Whitlock. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. I
need Jason Whitlock talk about eating and that's about it
because that seems to be where his expertise lies. All right,
