- 1:55Speaker 5: one of our big conferences. Of the year from my
- 1:57Speaker 5: high and uh, yeah, it was the Luckily was in
- 2:00Speaker 5: New Orleans this year. Yeah, and all conferences, just like
- 2:03Speaker 5: the Super Bowl, all conferences, if you have them every year,
- 2:07Speaker 5: it should rotate to New Orleans at least every two
- 2:10Speaker 5: to three years. So this one did. And it was
- 2:14Speaker 5: the ASPDA Conference, which is like Sports and Performance Dietitians
- 2:21Speaker 5: Association and so all.
- 2:23Speaker 6: Basically every college these.
- 2:26Speaker 5: I mean this was kind of unheard of when you
- 2:27Speaker 5: and I were playing, but every college and professional team
- 2:29Speaker 5: has sports dietitians, right, and they all go and vendors
- 2:33Speaker 5: come and they it's education for them and continued learning
- 2:37Speaker 5: and networking and all that good stuff. So it was
- 2:40Speaker 5: a fantastic because dietitians, for for what we do for
- 2:44Speaker 5: colleges and pro teams, are kind of the gate keepers, right,
- 2:47Speaker 5: They are the gatekeepers the they hold the dollars to
- 2:53Speaker 5: you know, spend four Like back in the day it
- 2:54Speaker 5: was all strength coaches Tommy MafA would buy us. We
- 2:56Speaker 5: talked about it like those naked smoothies and stuff.
- 3:00Speaker 4: But it was great.
- 3:01Speaker 5: So it's like it's one of our biggest ones, our
- 3:02Speaker 5: most important ones of the year.
- 3:04Speaker 4: So it was Luckily New Orleans.
- 3:06Speaker 5: Tho, so I didn't have to miss like two or
- 3:07Speaker 5: three days, and usually it's like a two and a
- 3:09Speaker 5: half day conference.
- 3:10Speaker 4: He was like, one night days, you are missing three.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Days just not for just not for that, that would
- 3:17Speaker 2: have been like six What.
- 3:18Speaker 7: Was lying on mispronounced words on the panel?
- 3:23Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I kind of wanted to.
- 3:24Speaker 7: I feel like you can lock in though, yeah I
- 3:26Speaker 7: can lock I was gonna say, I feel like you
- 3:28Speaker 7: can lock in probably yeah, Now.
- 3:29Speaker 5: I was probably like hmm, like of the panel members
- 3:35Speaker 5: and the topics we were discussing at least liked smartest,
- 3:40Speaker 5: Oh yeah, for sure, at least qualified to answer those
- 3:43Speaker 5: said questions.
- 3:44Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 3:45Speaker 5: So there was a another kind of summit going on
- 3:48Speaker 5: in correlation to the performance dietitians. It was the performance
- 3:52Speaker 5: Chefs summit, and they it was their first year of
- 3:56Speaker 5: doing it. Because like when when Jake and I were
- 3:58Speaker 5: playing right at the tail end of our careers, when
- 4:00Speaker 5: like the dietitian profession started becoming a little bit more popular,
- 4:06Speaker 5: and like I didn't have a dietician until my second
- 4:09Speaker 5: to last year in the NFL, and then then LSU
- 4:14Speaker 5: hired one, the first one they ever hired, Like in
- 4:16Speaker 5: twenty fifteen or sixteen, I can't remember exactly when it was,
- 4:20Speaker 5: but now the same is happening with like performance chefs
- 4:23Speaker 5: and stuff and performance chef like chef Michael Johnson is
- 4:27Speaker 5: performant chef. Oh yeah, oh yeah, hung out. He cooked
- 4:30Speaker 5: him and his team from LG. They came down and
- 4:32Speaker 5: cooked like a huge spread for dinner. Nice for all
- 4:37Speaker 5: the other performance chefs and a couple of the dietitians
- 4:39Speaker 5: that were in town as well. It was an awesome event,
- 4:42Speaker 5: very cool, and that's uh, it was their inaugural event. Yeah,
- 4:47Speaker 5: and just talking about how that profession needs to become
- 4:51Speaker 5: more widespread because there's only a few handful of schools
- 4:55Speaker 5: right now that actually have like a performance chef that's
- 4:58Speaker 5: made for high performance athletes.
- 5:00Speaker 6: So that's it was very cool.
- 5:03Speaker 5: Hopefully that grows kind of like the Dietitian profession did,
- 5:07Speaker 5: because it's it's important.
- 5:08Speaker 6: But it was like, yeah, it was cool.
- 5:09Speaker 5: They were talking about how to you know, their their
- 5:12Speaker 5: tips and how they like negotiate contracts with vendors and
- 5:15Speaker 5: find good clean foods for high performance athletes and very cool,
- 5:19Speaker 5: very cool, cool.
- 5:20Speaker 4: Yeah, what was what was it? You know, the question
- 5:23Speaker 4: that you got where you're like crush that, like good question. Well, okay,
- 5:29Speaker 4: so our panel at the time it was me.
- 5:33Speaker 5: Head dietitian from Texas A and m the head dietician
- 5:36Speaker 5: they brought milk.
- 5:39Speaker 6: Okay, sure. The head.
- 5:42Speaker 5: The New Orleans Saints, Jamie Meeks, who we went to
- 5:44Speaker 5: school with the l s U. She's kind of one
- 5:47Speaker 5: of the I think she might have been one of
- 5:48Speaker 5: the first NFL dietitians ever. And then let's see the godfather,
- 5:53Speaker 5: the first like sports dietitian ever. His name is Dave Els.
- 5:56Speaker 5: He's the gatekeeper for Major League Baseball. And then there
- 5:59Speaker 5: was another I have a practitioner dietitian. And so basically
- 6:02Speaker 5: all the questions were like why is like performance chefs
- 6:08Speaker 5: important like everybody's budgets now because of NIL and the
- 6:12Speaker 5: importance of paying Like this is a big topic for
- 6:13Speaker 5: the dietitians, and they're like supplementation of athletes and the
- 6:16Speaker 5: chefs with their feeding of athletes, there's all this money
- 6:20Speaker 5: being spent on NFL or NIL athletes and having to
- 6:25Speaker 5: spend to like make your roster and keep up with
- 6:28Speaker 5: the Joneses and like facilities and stuff like other.
- 6:30Speaker 6: Things are getting cut.
- 6:31Speaker 5: Yeah, and so the topic like top of the conversation
- 6:35Speaker 5: was like, how do we not cut the budget of
- 6:37Speaker 5: the fuel that our athletes are being fed? Like how
- 6:40Speaker 5: do you make the argument to your administration, your coach,
- 6:43Speaker 5: blah blah blah that what you do is actually important
- 6:46Speaker 5: and like food is not just food and can't just
- 6:48Speaker 5: have any old chef in they're just yeah making up
- 6:51Speaker 5: chicken fris steaks just delicious. So I kind of had
- 6:56Speaker 5: a little bit of knowledge to talk about because I
- 6:57Speaker 5: was on both ends of both side of things because
- 7:01Speaker 5: we first got LG. We ate at the Pentagon cafeteria
- 7:05Speaker 5: and it was with all the other students and it
- 7:07Speaker 5: was just you know, as much butter as you want,
- 7:10Speaker 5: as much gravy as you want. It's just because it
- 7:13Speaker 5: was food, right, Like you said that, like if you're
- 7:14Speaker 5: under fifteen percent body fat, there's the bluebellt ice cream
- 7:18Speaker 5: freezer over there, you can go have some. And then
- 7:20Speaker 5: at the end of the care area, it was like
- 7:22Speaker 5: super Dietitian focus, performance chef focus, and it made it
- 7:27Speaker 5: made a difference.
- 7:29Speaker 4: So like.
- 7:31Speaker 5: That was the topic of discussion, and they were kind
- 7:33Speaker 5: of they were given their expertise about everything, way more
- 7:36Speaker 5: qualified for that than me. But I was like, well,
- 7:37Speaker 5: look I look at it pretty black and white, right
- 7:40Speaker 5: do you how bad do you want to win?
- 7:42Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 7:42Speaker 5: But diff if you have a really good roster here
- 7:44Speaker 5: and a really good roster there, I'll take the one
- 7:46Speaker 5: that's feel better than the one that's not sure, especially
- 7:49Speaker 5: over it like a period of an entire season.
- 7:54Speaker 6: Anyway, I guess I.
- 7:56Speaker 4: Just want to know, like the words that you were
- 7:59Speaker 4: using and that you felt smart about. You know what
- 8:02Speaker 4: I'm saying.
- 8:02Speaker 6: I didn't use it.
- 8:03Speaker 5: I wanted to use it. I wanted to find my
- 8:06Speaker 5: way to it, but you couldn't. I didn't talk hydration
- 8:09Speaker 5: at this thing. This was more they wanted to form.
- 8:12Speaker 5: Like see, I wore my my high shirt, my hat.
- 8:14Speaker 6: But I didn't.
- 8:15Speaker 5: I'm not one of those guys that's gonna take every
- 8:17Speaker 5: opportunity can to pump a product.
- 8:19Speaker 6: I didn't do it.
- 8:20Speaker 8: I we were in a meeting the other day where
- 8:23Speaker 8: you did not miss an opportunity.
- 8:25Speaker 6: Well, you know, always be closing people, Just.
- 8:30Speaker 7: Straight lied to the people, just lie to everybody.
- 8:34Speaker 8: Yes you do.
- 8:35Speaker 4: I don't take every opportunity. Sometimes I'll skip one.
- 8:38Speaker 7: You're like on the panel, like and by the way,
- 8:39Speaker 7: I got a bunch of my high over here.
- 8:41Speaker 5: So like if they would have asked me a little
- 8:43Speaker 5: bit about like what I do now, I would have,
- 8:45Speaker 5: but I couldn't fit it into the topic of conversation
- 8:48Speaker 5: of how to justify the funds from the university funds
- 8:52Speaker 5: and I couldn't figure how to do that.
- 8:53Speaker 7: I thought I could universities use their funds on my
- 8:57Speaker 7: high and then the athletes are super highdrated.
- 9:00Speaker 5: I mean, sorry, they win, they're spending that budget on
- 9:03Speaker 5: my high. I can't afford the stakes.
- 9:09Speaker 4: So what well, I just couldn't get time.
- 9:12Speaker 6: Yeah, super fun.
- 9:16Speaker 5: It's super fun that it's like yesterday conference, we're at
- 9:20Speaker 5: the conference booth like seven fifteen.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Yeah, and like a conference, like you just have your
- 9:25Speaker 2: product and it's walk by and come get some.
- 9:28Speaker 4: You're not selling anything. You're just trying to sell money.
- 9:31Speaker 4: We're not taking yeah, we're not like taking orders.
- 9:33Speaker 6: This is that.
- 9:34Speaker 5: That's like there are some conferences where like you go
- 9:36Speaker 5: sell yeah, oh it's a twenty percent conference discount people.
- 9:40Speaker 6: Right now, it's not like that.
- 9:41Speaker 5: It's just you're talking and a lot of this is
- 9:43Speaker 5: our third or fourth year doing this specific.
- 9:45Speaker 6: Commerce, so a lot of it's like maintaining relationships.
- 9:48Speaker 5: Yeah, and a lot of these additions like move around
- 9:50Speaker 5: from college to college, get a new job every year,
- 9:54Speaker 5: or they'll move up and you know, like somebody for
- 9:57Speaker 5: one of the this the second in command this or
- 10:00Speaker 5: last year at LSU is like now the head person
- 10:02Speaker 5: at the University of Oregon. Yeah, like they just they
- 10:05Speaker 5: move around and get different jobs. And that's kind of
- 10:07Speaker 5: how like I started spreading the first place, because we
- 10:10Speaker 5: started LSU and they all get jobs everywhere, right, So
- 10:13Speaker 5: it's a lot of that's maintained relationships and a lot
- 10:15Speaker 5: of new faces and just talk and sample and yeah,
- 10:18Speaker 5: well we're in that booth a long time.
- 10:21Speaker 6: Word count was.

- 10:34Speaker 4: He's my director of Collegiate and Professional Sports. Nice, so

- 12:12Speaker 5: That was pretty boring.
- 12:13Speaker 7: I'm sorry I had to listen, that's interesting.
- 12:15Speaker 6: I kept getting followed questions from Landro.
- 12:17Speaker 4: Sorry together, I did go.
- 12:23Speaker 9: Crib in my crib. It was an enlightening experience. I
- 12:26Speaker 9: enjoyed it, not nearly as hard as we thought it
- 12:29Speaker 9: was gonna be. It's like the box was real, like
- 12:32Speaker 9: long and skinny. I'm thinking this thing is gonna be
- 12:34Speaker 9: in like ten fifteen pieces minimum. It's like five pieces basically.
- 12:38Speaker 9: Got the frame was already put together, like the headboard,
- 12:41Speaker 9: because it it can turn into a full saucee bed.
- 12:44Speaker 9: So like you can take the crib apart, it's still
- 12:45Speaker 9: a full sauce. So you just put the two side
- 12:48Speaker 9: railings on the front railing and then the front of
- 12:51Speaker 9: the frame to go with the back done. I mean
- 12:53Speaker 9: it it took us about an hour.
- 12:55Speaker 4: Yeah, you're worried, is gonna take you three hours?
- 12:59Speaker 9: No, three days.
- 13:02Speaker 4: Days?
- 13:03Speaker 9: But that's more of me getting frustrated and being like,
- 13:05Speaker 9: you know what, I need to come back to this
- 13:08Speaker 9: tomorrow after I we knocked it out.
- 13:11Speaker 5: I wouldn't get all cocky about it though. Just way
- 13:13Speaker 5: to those just way to those Christmas presents come.
- 13:16Speaker 4: Yeah, awful, wait till the drum set.
- 13:20Speaker 9: I don't know how the elves tie them all in
- 13:22Speaker 9: the boxes. That's always it's always confused me, like why
- 13:25Speaker 9: you're doing that?
- 13:27Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know the elves sometimes don't put it together,
- 13:31Speaker 2: you know, the ELFs sometimes just you know, they put
- 13:34Speaker 2: it on in the box for you actually put it
- 13:37Speaker 2: together sometimes, So.
- 13:44Speaker 4: Don't get cocky or we knocked it out.
- 13:46Speaker 9: It looks great.
- 13:47Speaker 4: You made your pregnant wife help well, so like she's just.

- 22:17Speaker 2: one obviously that we I hustle Steelers Saints in Paris.
- 22:23Speaker 4: Now, Steelers and Saints in the Dome would be pretty good.
- 22:25Speaker 2: And there's a lot of old fans in Louisiana that
- 22:28Speaker 2: still got some love for the Steelers from Terry Bradshaw's days.
- 22:32Speaker 2: But Saint's gonna play in Paris in week seven. Matthew
- 22:36Speaker 2: your thalas, Oh.
- 22:40Speaker 5: Why are we having eleven overseas games? Seems like all
- 22:45Speaker 5: of them are overseas? Mexico City, Okay, whatever, Brazil.
- 22:50Speaker 6: I guess.
- 22:53Speaker 4: International game? Is this the first one in Australia, It's
- 22:56Speaker 4: gotta be right.
- 22:57Speaker 2: First regular season game they've had preseason games like back
- 23:01Speaker 2: in the day they used to have.
- 23:02Speaker 4: Yeah, I know they had a preseason game in Australia.
- 23:05Speaker 4: I think doing played in it.
- 23:06Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's okay. It's one thing to go
- 23:08Speaker 5: to Europe. Yeah, it's a whole another animal to go
- 23:11Speaker 5: to Australia.
- 23:12Speaker 2: Had they used to have preseason games in Australia Japan?
- 23:17Speaker 2: I remember doing the draft with Danny Canell and they
- 23:20Speaker 2: played in Japan.
- 23:20Speaker 6: Like in the preseason one time in like the nineties. Yeah.
- 23:23Speaker 2: Hum, the first regular season game in Australia and I'm
- 23:27Speaker 2: pretty sure the first one in France as well.
- 23:29Speaker 4: Had they had one in Spain before? Is this the
- 23:31Speaker 4: first in Spain or did they do that last year?
- 23:33Speaker 1: No?
- 23:33Speaker 6: So they did.
- 23:34Speaker 9: They did Mexico City last year. I remember that was
- 23:37Speaker 9: wasn't that a couple of years? That was Chief Chargers, right,
- 23:39Speaker 9: that was the the Friday night game done?
- 23:41Speaker 4: Did Mexico City a couple of different They did Brazil too.
- 23:44Speaker 9: They've done Brazil and they've obviously done Germany in London.
- 23:47Speaker 6: Yeah, those are the ones.
- 23:49Speaker 7: Yeah, the Dolphins Commanders played in Spain in November.
- 23:55Speaker 5: But the Australia thing is wild. That is a big
- 24:01Speaker 5: travel they might need two bye weeks after that. I'm assume,
- 24:04Speaker 5: I'm assuming they're right. It's right before bye week. It's
- 24:07Speaker 5: week one. It's week one, week one, Okay, I miss that,
- 24:13Speaker 5: and that they're so they're not going to get a
- 24:14Speaker 5: bye week week two.
- 24:16Speaker 4: That's like, what is that? It's like a twenty hour flight? Yeah,
- 24:20Speaker 4: do you ever take a couple hours? Yeah? Probably eighteen maybe, Okay.
- 24:24Speaker 9: You're basically flying on them over night, like the same day.
- 24:28Speaker 9: I would think, right, this is a bad idea. Yeah,
- 24:32Speaker 9: it's a bad idea. Like and they're going to play
- 24:34Speaker 9: it probably in the middle of the night here or
- 24:38Speaker 9: super early in the morning.
- 24:39Speaker 5: Well already in England they play it. They play at
- 24:43Speaker 5: nine am, right, yeah, all right, let's see here.
- 24:47Speaker 4: What time is it in Australia right now, Melbourne in
- 24:50Speaker 4: case you were winning in the city.
- 24:53Speaker 6: Oh yeah, it doesn't matter, Oh it does It's ten
- 24:56Speaker 6: twenty eight pm.
- 24:57Speaker 8: Whoa, they're fourteen hours ahead.
- 25:03Speaker 9: So yeah, they're either going to play this thing at
- 25:05Speaker 9: like three am our time, fifteen hours ahead, or like
- 25:09Speaker 9: that's ten o'clock our time.
- 25:12Speaker 6: So we're not gonna see that game.
- 25:14Speaker 4: I'm not watching it.
- 25:15Speaker 6: Right.
- 25:16Speaker 5: I mean they're not playing it. So if they played
- 25:18Speaker 5: at seven pm there, what's that four in the morning here?
- 25:23Speaker 9: Yeah, it's like three or four in the morning somewhere
- 25:25Speaker 9: in there. Or they play early there and it's like
- 25:29Speaker 9: ten o'clock at night here.
- 25:30Speaker 2: Yeah, I would assume that's probably what they're gonna do. Right,
- 25:33Speaker 2: we have time on this game either way. Did you
- 25:36Speaker 2: ever play in one of these?
- 25:38Speaker 1: No?
- 25:38Speaker 5: Thank god? Oh I did nobody? Well where when we played,
- 25:42Speaker 5: nobody wanted to do it. I know you enjoyed your time,
- 25:48Speaker 5: and I'm sure like once you got there birthday?
- 25:52Speaker 6: Oh is it?
- 25:54Speaker 9: Oh sweet? That's Week one Friday?
- 25:58Speaker 4: No shock, that's not in America for right, that's true.
- 26:02Speaker 9: Guys, believe it or not, didn't make the schedule, so.
- 26:08Speaker 6: I didn't know.
- 26:08Speaker 2: Mind want one maybe the best game of Week one
- 26:12Speaker 2: two playoff teams rams Niners. I want that thing in Australia.
- 26:17Speaker 2: Don't you put that in America? That's what Tate said
- 26:20Speaker 2: Roger Goodell.
- 26:21Speaker 9: Given given Rams Niners to Australia's Wild Am I the
- 26:26Speaker 9: only one that doesn't. I feel like the NFL gets
- 26:30Speaker 9: the compensation that they would if they just played the
- 26:33Speaker 9: games here like Saint Steelers have a huge fan base.
- 26:36Speaker 9: You're packing out super for sure. Whatever you're packing out.
- 26:40Speaker 4: The Superdome sold out.
- 26:41Speaker 9: Are you really gonna make the type of game revenue
- 26:44Speaker 9: in Paris?
- 26:45Speaker 4: Well, I'll say this. The game that I played in
- 26:48Speaker 4: and Wimbley, it was packed to the guilt. Was it
- 26:51Speaker 4: to the gills.
- 26:53Speaker 2: There was way more fans than y'all normally play in
- 26:55Speaker 2: front of well, not cheering against us, yeah, because they
- 26:58Speaker 2: were just cheering in general. They didn't really know that
- 27:00Speaker 2: was going on. They just cheered. Okay, So the opening
- 27:06Speaker 2: kickoff is it's still when people use flash like flash.
- 27:10Speaker 4: Like Super Bowl flash. It was like, yeah, we like
- 27:13Speaker 4: going nuts when the kicker kicks a touch back.
- 27:17Speaker 6: That's what they know. It's unbelievable.
- 27:20Speaker 7: I was doing some research on the time for the
- 27:22Speaker 7: exhibition game that they played in Australia in nineteen ninety nine.
- 27:26Speaker 8: So but it was in Sydney.
- 27:28Speaker 7: I don't know if Australia has different time zones, but
- 27:31Speaker 7: it was in Sydney.
- 27:33Speaker 8: They do have different ones.
- 27:35Speaker 7: Well, the one in Sydney kicked off on Sunday, August
- 27:39Speaker 7: eighth at eleven o'clock local time for audiences watching live.
- 27:44Speaker 8: In the United States.
- 27:45Speaker 7: Kickoff was Saturday, August seventh at nine pm, so they
- 27:50Speaker 7: kicked off like in the morning, and it was.
- 27:51Speaker 9: The night before, so we would have watched it Saturday nights.
- 27:54Speaker 8: Yeah, but it was Sunday morning over there.
- 27:57Speaker 9: Okay, that's probably what they're going to do again. Yeah,
- 28:00Speaker 9: play like eleven, play ten am there. It'll be like
- 28:03Speaker 9: eight o'clock at night.
- 28:03Speaker 7: I mean, it's probably gonna be the exact same thing.
- 28:06Speaker 7: It was nine Eastern times, so Central time.
- 28:09Speaker 5: It had been eight wild behavior all right, Well, hopefully
- 28:15Speaker 5: it's fruitful for the NFL because they need it.
- 28:18Speaker 2: So Yeah, with the hair strug LB with the Saints Steelers,
- 28:23Speaker 2: you know, that's it's cool. With the you know, obviously
- 28:27Speaker 2: being in France and the French tie and all that
- 28:29Speaker 2: it is. I always worry about the players recovering after
- 28:32Speaker 2: a trip like that.
- 28:33Speaker 4: What it's gonna do to you? Yeah, those those a
- 28:36Speaker 4: wrench in it.
- 28:37Speaker 6: It does.
- 28:38Speaker 4: And like I was saying, I know, you enjoyed. Yeah,
- 28:40Speaker 4: we experience, but we got a full bye week.
- 28:42Speaker 2: They don't get they don't always get bie weeks anymore
- 28:45Speaker 2: after these international games possible, man, that's the deal. Like
- 28:48Speaker 2: we got a bye week, so it's like, yeah, so
- 28:50Speaker 2: we went from San Diego to Buffalo, Buffalo to London
- 28:52Speaker 2: and then we flew back after that. So we played
- 28:54Speaker 2: the Bills, then we played the Saints in London, then
- 28:56Speaker 2: we came all the way back and then we got
- 28:57Speaker 2: a full week off.
- 28:58Speaker 4: It's not the case. You're not gearing tea to bye
- 29:00Speaker 4: week anymore. Won these games and he can throw you off.
- 29:04Speaker 9: What you would want would be like a Thursday night
- 29:06Speaker 9: game before, yeah, fly in and then a bye week after.
- 29:10Speaker 6: But you're not gonna get that now. Melbourne to Australia.
- 29:14Speaker 8: Wait, hold on, kickoff is scheduled. I'm looking it up.
- 29:19Speaker 7: So for the Friday, September eleventh game at Melbourne Cricket Ground,
- 29:24Speaker 7: the Rams are the home team against the Niners. Kickoff
- 29:27Speaker 7: is scheduled for ten thirty five am Australia time. Yeah,
- 29:32Speaker 7: so I think it is going to be because it
- 29:34Speaker 7: was eleven am, so it'd probably be like seven thirty
- 29:37Speaker 7: Central time here in America the night before, so we'd
- 29:40Speaker 7: probably watch it Thursday night.
- 29:41Speaker 5: Yeah, Australia to Lax fifteen and a half hours Lax
- 29:48Speaker 5: to Australia close to seventeen cool, oh good, No, great,
- 29:53Speaker 5: especially after you play full game against other NFL players.
- 29:57Speaker 4: Yeah, they hit real hard. That's a good recovery. I
- 29:59Speaker 4: think forty and rams they're not very good, so only the.
- 30:04Speaker 9: Yeah, it's not like they have like really good players.
- 30:07Speaker 4: It won't be physical at all.
- 30:10Speaker 6: That's a lot of knife. Yeah.
- 30:13Speaker 2: We get the full schedule release a little bit uh
- 30:15Speaker 2: later tonight. The NFL, like they do most things, it's
- 30:18Speaker 2: in prime time.
- 30:20Speaker 6: Are they gonna have those little social media videos?
- 30:23Speaker 4: Every team will have one? How fun is that? It's
- 30:26Speaker 4: really the only thing the Chargers are the best at. Yeah.
- 30:30Speaker 6: Are they the one that did the street.
- 30:31Speaker 8: Interviews where they make people guess?
- 30:35Speaker 9: Those are the funny you've done it? The Titans have
- 30:37Speaker 9: done that before the Broadway.
- 30:39Speaker 2: See to me, that's not because there was a there
- 30:42Speaker 2: was a dad and son like back at like Vine
- 30:45Speaker 2: days after the money been Vine.
- 30:47Speaker 4: Yeah, like he's his dad all the time. Funny. They
- 30:51Speaker 4: stole it from there, so it's like it wasn't original.
- 30:53Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I gotta be honest, I don't really
- 30:56Speaker 7: care about those schedule release.
- 30:57Speaker 4: Videos production and they they're like Easter eggs and the like.
- 31:02Speaker 6: That's kind of dumb.
- 31:03Speaker 4: Oh, that's great.
- 31:04Speaker 2: They had like chiefs Aholic running from the police when
- 31:07Speaker 2: they were playing the Chiefs.
- 31:09Speaker 4: I'll make you watch one.
- 31:11Speaker 6: All right.
- 31:13Speaker 4: They do a good job. They throw shade it the
- 31:14Speaker 4: other teams is funny.
- 31:16Speaker 6: Okay, sounds like they tried a little hard. It's good,
- 31:21Speaker 6: I know, not really trying.
- 31:23Speaker 2: Hey, just because the packers are the packers and the
- 31:27Speaker 2: living actually a little bitty Wisconsin, and you'll probably don't
- 31:29Speaker 2: have like a camera to film or a studio to edit.
- 31:32Speaker 5: Okay, I'm not sure if Wisconsin would be a little bitty.
- 31:35Speaker 5: It's maybe Green Bays, smaller than the normal NFL town.
- 31:39Speaker 5: They got Milwaukee.
- 31:40Speaker 4: That's a lot of fun.
- 31:42Speaker 6: Sorry, I forgot you like the big city life and
- 31:44Speaker 6: go clubbing.
- 31:46Speaker 4: Yeah, because if you like big cities, automatically like clubbing.
- 31:50Speaker 6: Mm hmm, you love.
- 31:55Speaker 8: Okay, So I'm just looking again. Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm no.
- 31:59Speaker 7: Well, like I just look at something, I just start talking,
- 32:01Speaker 7: my bad. I went to go look up how many
- 32:05Speaker 7: people because Taylor mentioned about like are there gonna are
- 32:09Speaker 7: they gonna get people in the seats or whatever. I
- 32:11Speaker 7: looked up how many people were at the Spain NFL
- 32:14Speaker 7: game last season. Total seventy eight thousand, six hundred and
- 32:18Speaker 7: ten fans attended the game in Spain. The stadium was
- 32:23Speaker 7: packed to near full capacity. Approximately forty two thousand of
- 32:26Speaker 7: the people traveled from outside of Spain to a ten.
- 32:30Speaker 9: Right, so the game.
- 32:31Speaker 7: The game generated roughly one hundred and fifty million dollars
- 32:35Speaker 7: for the city of Spain. The event was exceptionally popular,
- 32:39Speaker 7: with seven hundred thousand people vying for tickets.
- 32:42Speaker 3: That's what it says, seventy.
- 32:45Speaker 9: Eight thousand Cret's that's about a normal average NFL stadium, right,
- 32:49Speaker 9: maybe slightly above average, but like forty two thousand coming
- 32:53Speaker 9: from outside Spain, I.
- 32:54Speaker 5: Just yeah, but at what cost for like the player though,
- 32:56Speaker 5: I mean, I know it doesn't like their employees, Like
- 32:59Speaker 5: I expect this to be collectively bargained at the end
- 33:01Speaker 5: of that, and not only that.
- 33:03Speaker 4: You have to have a bye week.
- 33:04Speaker 9: Think about the taxes, right, think about those season ticket
- 33:09Speaker 9: holders for the Steelers and the Saints. It's like, hey,
- 33:12Speaker 9: we're gonna reward you for being season ticket holders for years.
- 33:14Speaker 9: You have to now spend a lot of money to
- 33:16Speaker 9: go to Paris, and some people will want to do that.
- 33:18Speaker 9: Some people will be able to do that. I get that,
- 33:20Speaker 9: but like that ain't for everybody.
- 33:22Speaker 2: Well, if you're a season ticket holder, you lose one
- 33:24Speaker 2: of your home gigs. Yeah, like the Saints are losing
- 33:26Speaker 2: at home.
- 33:26Speaker 4: Yeah, I assume season tickets will be cheaper though.
- 33:30Speaker 9: Yeah, oh yeah, they'll drop the price for you.
- 33:32Speaker 6: Matt.
- 33:32Speaker 4: All right, we got break right more a TV when

- 36:01Speaker 2: All right, we talked a lot about international games. I
- 36:05Speaker 2: think I can get you excited about these games. You
- 36:08Speaker 2: weren't very excited about the international games. All right, So
- 36:12Speaker 2: the day before Thanksgiving, all right, we get Packers and Rams.
- 36:17Speaker 4: You're gonna be on Netflix. Okay, it's gonna be a
- 36:21Speaker 4: Wednesday game.
- 36:22Speaker 6: All right, I'm excited about that.
- 36:24Speaker 2: On Thanksgiving Wednesday game, we have got Bears at Lions,
- 36:31Speaker 2: Eagles and Cowboys, Chiefs and Bills.
- 36:38Speaker 4: Those are three good games. Eagles Cowboys probably the worst
- 36:43Speaker 4: game of the three.
- 36:45Speaker 5: I didn't not say that because I mean, I think
- 36:48Speaker 5: the Lions are gonna bounce back this year, and I
- 36:50Speaker 5: think the Bears are a full fledged contender this year.
- 36:56Speaker 4: And then Black Friday we get Broncos Steelers.
- 37:01Speaker 5: Okay, all right, No, you don't like that one as much.
- 37:05Speaker 5: I had to think about it for a second. I mean,
- 37:07Speaker 5: the Steelers are gonna I mean, who knows what the
- 37:10Speaker 5: Steelers is gonna be this year?
- 37:12Speaker 4: Your buddy Aaron does I know?
- 37:13Speaker 6: But are they gonna be good? I don't know.
- 37:18Speaker 2: According to this primetime schedule you're reading me. The NFL
- 37:22Speaker 2: certainly think so. Did you know the Steelers GM went
- 37:27Speaker 2: to high school in the New Orleans area? Omark On
- 37:31Speaker 2: went to two Lane? He might tell me what high
- 37:32Speaker 2: school Omarcan, the Steelers general manager, went to.
- 37:36Speaker 4: In the Catholic League.
- 37:45Speaker 2: No omark On, the Steelers general manager, it is from
- 37:50Speaker 2: New Orleans went to twu Lane.
- 37:52Speaker 4: He went to high school in the Catholic League. What
- 37:54Speaker 4: school did he go to?
- 37:55Speaker 8: What's the one that Gordya always talks about?
- 37:58Speaker 4: He went to?
- 37:58Speaker 6: Well, Gordy went to Jesuit. So maybe that's what I
- 38:02Speaker 6: was gonna say.
- 38:03Speaker 9: Yeah, okay, I'll go. I'll go, Brother Martin, since they.
- 38:05Speaker 4: Went Jesuit, he's a Rumorada.
- 38:09Speaker 6: They're in the Catholic League.
- 38:13Speaker 4: That's not my check in fairness matter. I don't know.
- 38:16Speaker 6: I don't know, have no idea.
- 38:20Speaker 2: So he's trying to convince Aaron Rodgers to come back.
- 38:22Speaker 2: So see, I guess because if he didn't, they're gonna
- 38:25Speaker 2: be bad.
- 38:25Speaker 6: Why didn't they say that?
- 38:26Speaker 2: Uh?
- 38:27Speaker 6: I thought the news was saying that he's probably coming back.
- 38:29Speaker 3: They did.
- 38:30Speaker 4: He was there.
- 38:31Speaker 2: He was in Pittsburgh. He didn't go to the facility.
- 38:34Speaker 2: Apparently he was just there. They keep talking like, oh yeah,
- 38:39Speaker 2: we're talking back and forth.
- 38:42Speaker 4: I mean they got to know something, right, I mean,
- 38:45Speaker 4: I don't know. It happened last year too, like they would.
- 38:48Speaker 6: Have to know something.
- 38:50Speaker 9: I think this is on Pittsburgh. Mike and said last year,
- 38:53Speaker 9: we're not gonna have this timeline again. Guys, we're gonna
- 38:56Speaker 9: have this figured out. Same thing. Also, why do you
- 38:58Speaker 9: go to Pittsburgh You're not even in the I mean, look,
- 39:02Speaker 9: Jacob there for the draft that ever been doesn't seem like.
- 39:04Speaker 4: If they're here, Pittsburgh's lovely this time year.
- 39:06Speaker 5: I mean he has been there before, maybe met with
- 39:08Speaker 5: them at dinner. Could have Yeah, that's not like they
- 39:12Speaker 5: needed to show him the locker room. There are hot tubs.
- 39:17Speaker 5: I don't feel like, I don't know this. It might
- 39:20Speaker 5: be great.
- 39:20Speaker 2: I don't feel like the Steelers locker room and probably fancy.
- 39:25Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 39:29Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy told us that owners meetings that him and
- 39:32Speaker 2: Rogers talk every week. Right, if a Rod wants to play,
- 39:37Speaker 2: he's gonna play. If he doesn't, he's not going to.
- 39:40Speaker 5: It seemed like I remember hearing people last year and
- 39:43Speaker 5: like the national media like so mad at Aaron Rodgers
- 39:47Speaker 5: for like he's so selfish for not doing this. I'm like, well,
- 39:52Speaker 5: Mike Tomlin, he's been doing this a while, right, He's
- 39:55Speaker 5: got the zero panic. There's obviously conversations they're having there.
- 40:00Speaker 5: They just hadn't made anything official. Pretty sure they knew
- 40:03Speaker 5: he was coming last year. Yea, even though everybody is
- 40:07Speaker 5: all upset up said about it, I would assume the
- 40:10Speaker 5: same situation's happening right now. You got to think that,
- 40:14Speaker 5: like the Steelers would have made some sort of preparations.
- 40:19Speaker 6: For life after Rogers.
- 40:21Speaker 4: They did. They drafted Drew Aller.
- 40:28Speaker 6: And somehow that one less we read did not have
- 40:31Speaker 6: them as the worst quarterback room in the NFL.
- 40:34Speaker 2: Yeah, Steelers have been the epitome of stable. I mean,
- 40:40Speaker 2: they've had three head coaches since nineteen sixty nine.
- 40:45Speaker 9: That's insane.
- 40:49Speaker 2: Chicknall, Billkuer, Mike Thomas seventy nine, sixty nine sixty nine.
- 40:55Speaker 2: McCarthy would be their fourth head coach in my lifetime,
- 40:59Speaker 2: that's a believable.
- 41:04Speaker 5: Yeah, if he if he doesn't come back to play, Yeah,
- 41:07Speaker 5: it's gonna be tough for all Mike McCarthy.
- 41:10Speaker 6: I'm rooting rooting for him for sure.
- 41:15Speaker 2: All Right, we'll take a break more ot B when
- 41:17Speaker 2: we come back here live from the Raising King Studio.

- 42:49Speaker 10: To get off the game, all right, Welcome back in OTB.
- 43:06Speaker 4: Some more news out of the NFL.
- 43:08Speaker 2: This one's not good news for one of our favorite
- 43:11Speaker 2: former Tigers Elite neighbors. He underwent a second surgery on
- 43:16Speaker 2: his knee to remove scar tissue that was causing stiffness. Remembering,
- 43:21Speaker 2: here's a ACL last year and had to go back in.
- 43:25Speaker 2: Didn't feel right, said his knee was stiff, so they
- 43:27Speaker 2: had to remove scar tissue. The second surgery isn't expected
- 43:32Speaker 2: to impact his recovery timeline. He is supposed to be
- 43:35Speaker 2: ready still for the season opener. But someone that's had
- 43:40Speaker 2: for these things, knee surgeries aren't fun and they're never
- 43:43Speaker 2: as easy as they sound.
- 43:45Speaker 4: Yeah, that's unfortunate. I hate to see that for sure.
- 43:49Speaker 4: Is that pretty?
- 43:50Speaker 6: I mean, I'm not gonna say normal.
- 43:52Speaker 5: It happens every time, but I wouldn't say it's abnormal
- 43:55Speaker 5: for surgically to have to go in and clean up
- 43:58Speaker 5: scar tissue. You've certainly had more than me. I never
- 44:02Speaker 5: really had a too invasive of a surgery.
- 44:05Speaker 2: No, I mean I've I've I've had a bunch of
- 44:07Speaker 2: knee surgeries, but I never had to go back in.
- 44:09Speaker 2: I never had to do anything like that. So, like that,
- 44:13Speaker 2: how'd that happen?
- 44:14Speaker 6: Right? What'd y'all do? Yeah?
- 44:16Speaker 4: While the giants kinna giant, I thought we fixed this.
- 44:20Speaker 2: When we run in Harball Real Surgeons. Is actually, oh
- 44:23Speaker 2: he had the surgery under day Ball.
- 44:27Speaker 8: I was gonna Harball overrated.
- 44:30Speaker 4: No, he had the surgery under the old staff overrated.
- 44:34Speaker 1: You know.
- 44:35Speaker 4: So now the new staff's like, hey, we got to
- 44:37Speaker 4: fix this.
- 44:38Speaker 5: Maybe there was no scar tissue and is Harball's new
- 44:41Speaker 5: staff maybe it's scar tissue.
- 44:44Speaker 6: Yeah, Oh no, that was just regular knee stuff. Oops.
- 44:51Speaker 4: I hope Malie comes back.
- 44:52Speaker 2: Obviously going into year three, you don't want to have
- 44:55Speaker 2: multiple knee surgeries attached to your names.
- 44:57Speaker 5: So yeah, and I know there's a lot of that
- 44:58Speaker 5: that happened at met Life, isn't it like there's a
- 45:00Speaker 5: lot of controversy with the met Life. Yeah, we talked
- 45:03Speaker 5: about that with Doc yesterday, did you And like I
- 45:06Speaker 5: don't know if there's ever like one thing you can
- 45:08Speaker 5: point at of why a turf is bad besides like
- 45:10Speaker 5: stability issues. But for whatever reason, that MetLife turf is
- 45:15Speaker 5: a lot of victims, all turfs bad. That's and that
- 45:18Speaker 5: really sucks. That Malik was absolutely dynamic, yeah, as a
- 45:24Speaker 5: rookie and records and we were really hoping to you know,
- 45:28Speaker 5: he was on pace to have an an incredible sophomore season.
- 45:31Speaker 5: And now with the emergence of Jackson Dart and everything,
- 45:34Speaker 5: Sky's lemmit for m. So hopefully you can get back
- 45:35Speaker 5: on the field and hopefully that the surgeons can get
- 45:37Speaker 5: their act together up in New York.
- 45:39Speaker 2: All right, our number two of OTB when we come
