- 1:35Speaker 5: interesting phone calls over the weekend about the New Orleans
- 1:39Speaker 5: Saints not scoring a touchdown yet again in the first
- 1:42Speaker 5: half of the preseason. Actually impressive, went the entire preseason
- 1:47Speaker 5: without scoring a touchdown in the first half of any
- 1:49Speaker 5: of their games.
- 1:50Speaker 4: Dev what's up, brother, Yo, what's happening?
- 1:53Speaker 6: How we doing?
- 1:53Speaker 4: Uh, you know, we're doing good. We're doing great.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Excited.
- 1:56Speaker 5: It's game week for the l s U Tigers, so
- 1:58Speaker 5: we'll get there because I know you heading up to Clemson.
- 2:01Speaker 4: But I got to ask you.
- 2:02Speaker 5: You know, Sean Payton, the Broncos come to town, you
- 2:05Speaker 5: lose another preseason game, twenty eight to nineteen, you don't
- 2:09Speaker 5: score again in the first half.
- 2:11Speaker 4: How were the phone calls this weekend?
- 2:14Speaker 6: Well, hey, let's just let's let's all say it, man,
- 2:17Speaker 6: last time that we can say it.
- 2:18Speaker 5: It's just preseason, right, might as well get it out
- 2:23Speaker 5: one more time.
- 2:24Speaker 6: Get it out one more time, dude, it's just preseason.
- 2:27Speaker 6: And yeah, man, it's you just hate to see it.
- 2:32Speaker 6: I didn't look at the you know, the statistics of
- 2:34Speaker 6: teams that didn't score in the first half. But that's
- 2:37Speaker 6: one that you just hate to see it. And it's
- 2:38Speaker 6: not because they just started. It's because it's been happening
- 2:40Speaker 6: in the last couple of years, even in the regular season,
- 2:43Speaker 6: you know, been having troubles scoring in the first half.
- 2:46Speaker 6: So it is a lawman, But you know it's just preseason,
- 2:50Speaker 6: all right.
- 2:51Speaker 5: Def So I'm going to ask you the same question
- 2:53Speaker 5: that I asked the room right before you hopped on
- 2:56Speaker 5: the player that you're actually excited about in this upcoming
- 3:01Speaker 5: twenty five season, Like you gotta give me one one
- 3:04Speaker 5: guy that moves in needle, one guy that gives you
- 3:06Speaker 5: any kind of juice to go watch the Saints play
- 3:09Speaker 5: on Sundays.
- 3:13Speaker 6: I think there's a few, but I mean, definitely you
- 3:15Speaker 6: could take a few from the rookie class, because I
- 3:17Speaker 6: mean that's one one of the positives is I think
- 3:19Speaker 6: that the rookie classes look pretty promising, right, But if
- 3:23Speaker 6: I'm not gonna pick one of them, then let's just
- 3:27Speaker 6: be honest. How about Mason's Hipton because this is it?
- 3:33Speaker 6: This is it, man, Like this is where we actually
- 3:36Speaker 6: absolutely need him to pull through. You know, it would
- 3:39Speaker 6: be so convenient and nice of him to pull through,
- 3:44Speaker 6: man and really turn into something for the Saints, bro,
- 3:47Speaker 6: because that's one thing. Man. You even saw it last game.
- 3:50Speaker 6: Some of these guys that they consider veterans and whatever
- 3:54Speaker 6: I mean, like Cedric Wilson stuff. You know, they just
- 3:57Speaker 6: not that's not it, right, So may Tipton, man that
- 4:01Speaker 6: that that would be one guy that I'm looking to
- 4:02Speaker 6: really do something.
- 4:04Speaker 7: Not.
- 4:04Speaker 6: I don't need fifteen hundred yards got them? How about
- 4:07Speaker 6: you know seven hundred how about seven hundred yards? Uh?
- 4:10Speaker 6: You know a few touchdowns and some consistency that would be.
- 4:13Speaker 6: That'd be fantastic from Nason Sipton.
- 4:16Speaker 8: All right, let's just go ahead and get it out
- 4:17Speaker 8: of the way. Hold On, say that I'm looking at
- 4:19Speaker 8: this picture of you. Is that Kirk Cousins behind your
- 4:22Speaker 8: right shoulder?
- 4:26Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 4:27Speaker 1: That's it.
- 4:28Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's him.
- 4:29Speaker 7: Brother.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Now we're in the same hoodie and everything.
- 4:32Speaker 6: Good for you, I know, man.
- 4:33Speaker 1: All right.
- 4:34Speaker 6: Somebody called me yesterday say, man, I don't know if
- 4:37Speaker 6: Shuck's going to be it. I don't know if what
- 4:38Speaker 6: do you think about? Uh getting Kirk Cousins over here?
- 4:41Speaker 6: I hung up so quick.
- 4:45Speaker 1: Come on, you.
- 4:48Speaker 6: Nah, that rather snort, fire an have Kirk Cousins as
- 4:52Speaker 6: the quarterback for the new one Saints face.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Oh man, okay, all right, snort fire ants, got it.
- 5:02Speaker 1: We don't want to.
- 5:02Speaker 6: Be doing that. Angry fire angry.
- 5:06Speaker 1: All right, Well let's just get it out of the way.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Let's talk quarterbacks here.
- 5:10Speaker 8: What do you think three preseason games in we were
- 5:12Speaker 8: talking about it all like it just it looked fine.
- 5:15Speaker 1: But what are your thoughts? What are your thoughts going
- 5:17Speaker 1: in the week one?
- 5:18Speaker 6: I think that if he judged us like they judge
- 5:21Speaker 6: like you know, UFC and stuff like that, round by round.
- 5:24Speaker 6: I mean, I would say that shuck one, two to one.
- 5:28Speaker 6: I would just say that. I don't think that that
- 5:31Speaker 6: that's the way that they're gonna go. I think they
- 5:33Speaker 6: probably gonna go rattler. But if I'm just being fan,
- 5:36Speaker 6: I'm just being honest, I would say that shuck one,
- 5:39Speaker 6: two to one. Uh, you know, round by round. It
- 5:42Speaker 6: just it just is what it is. I don't think
- 5:43Speaker 6: either one of them did good when they get when
- 5:46Speaker 6: they you know, a quarterback in the first half, So
- 5:48Speaker 6: that's what's alonman. But I'd say shuck one like overall,
- 5:52Speaker 6: But I do I do think they something about Rattlers.
- 5:56Speaker 6: They're gonna go with him for the first few games.
- 5:59Speaker 5: What makes you think I think it Shuck over Rattler
- 6:01Speaker 5: right now though, like in your mind, like not even
- 6:04Speaker 5: saying like what it's going to be, but for you
- 6:06Speaker 5: what a Shuck done that Ratler has not?
- 6:08Speaker 4: That's not right, I think.
- 6:09Speaker 6: Okay. I think whenever Shuck was faced with some adversity
- 6:12Speaker 6: during the preseason, I thought that he had a great
- 6:16Speaker 6: trait of rebounding very well. And that's something that's that's
- 6:22Speaker 6: a great pro quality, right, I mean, y'all telling me,
- 6:25Speaker 6: I feel like that's a great pro quality to have.
- 6:27Speaker 6: Like if you can go and throw an interception, fumble, whatever,
- 6:31Speaker 6: and then come come back and you know, lead the
- 6:33Speaker 6: team down for a score and drive, that's that's pretty admirable. Right.
- 6:37Speaker 6: So I thought that one of the downfalls of Spencer
- 6:41Speaker 6: Rattler was he was in lead at a quarterback competition, uh,
- 6:45Speaker 6: and he had this last game and it's just like,
- 6:47Speaker 6: what five to eight forty three yards That's just that sucks, man,
- 6:54Speaker 6: you know, that really sucks, dude, And he could have
- 6:57Speaker 6: just feeled to be on it. Just it just didn't happen.
- 7:00Speaker 6: And I don't know, it's just underwhelming. And I think
- 7:02Speaker 6: that Shock is just a little more maybe loose out there,
- 7:07Speaker 6: like the way he can kind of air it out.
- 7:09Speaker 6: You know, it's something about him that just looks a
- 7:12Speaker 6: little more comfortable.
- 7:12Speaker 1: And he's the rook you know, yeah, I think.
- 7:15Speaker 8: I mean, everybody's like reaching trying to find something, trying
- 7:18Speaker 8: to like hold onto something, right, they're trying to grasp
- 7:21Speaker 8: onto like some sort of like positive because like there
- 7:23Speaker 8: wasn't that much negative from any of the quarterback playing.
- 7:26Speaker 8: Like you said, like both of them, like they were
- 7:27Speaker 8: the exact same guy. Both of them threw a pick
- 7:29Speaker 8: and then let a score and drive the next play.
- 7:31Speaker 1: They both did that.
- 7:32Speaker 8: So they if one person did one thing the other
- 7:35Speaker 8: did another. The only thing, like I difference I can
- 7:37Speaker 8: make I understand, like the like the round by round
- 7:40Speaker 8: comparison there. But Chuck did get like two of his
- 7:43Speaker 8: rounds were against like the third string guys like in
- 7:46Speaker 8: the second half, so it's a little bit like but
- 7:48Speaker 8: they were the same guy. So it's just really like
- 7:51Speaker 8: who you're gonna hang your hat on. Who do you
- 7:52Speaker 8: think could do something? And honestly, they're gonna need both
- 7:54Speaker 8: of them, So like you're gonna need both them throughout
- 7:56Speaker 8: the years. So, like the offensive line, they keep getting injuries,
- 7:59Speaker 8: they're not looking great. You got your finger on the
- 8:03Speaker 8: pulse about free agents out there. You're watching these cut
- 8:05Speaker 8: days from all the other teams. What do you think
- 8:07Speaker 8: is gonna happen there?
- 8:09Speaker 6: Yeah? Well, I think they obviously the first thing they
- 8:11Speaker 6: gotta do in cre agency is they got to go
- 8:12Speaker 6: look at the offensive line. You gotta go. You gotta
- 8:14Speaker 6: go get somebody that can step in an offensive line
- 8:18Speaker 6: because that's gonna be the of course, that's gonna be
- 8:20Speaker 6: the biggest issue right away. Anytime your offensive line starts
- 8:23Speaker 6: dropping like flies, you are being defeated before you even
- 8:26Speaker 6: able to fight, you know, so definitely that they need
- 8:31Speaker 6: to look at tight end, uh, just because you know,
- 8:35Speaker 6: I still think the best tight end on the team
- 8:37Speaker 6: is Fassham around, I really do from everything I've seen,
- 8:40Speaker 6: and he's not even playing.
- 8:42Speaker 4: Yeah, he won't be ready to you know, into the.
- 8:44Speaker 6: Season right right, So you gotta look at tight end
- 8:48Speaker 6: because who can you really depend on? You know, no
- 8:51Speaker 6: disrespect great guy, uh, but Jawan Johnson just keeps reminding
- 8:56Speaker 6: me that he's Jawan Johnson and it's just I don't know, man,
- 9:00Speaker 6: and it's it's it's discouraging. You know, if he gets hurt,
- 9:03Speaker 6: if he's out for a few games, you know, who
- 9:05Speaker 6: is your tight end? Who's your tight end? The guy
- 9:07Speaker 6: from uc LA, you know, I don't know if he
- 9:11Speaker 6: got to look at that tight end spot for sure,
- 9:14Speaker 6: the positives all I mean, I think that you're good
- 9:16Speaker 6: at D tackle, you know, I think he got I
- 9:19Speaker 6: think that's why you got rid of Caitlyn Saunders. You know,
- 9:21Speaker 6: you got a few good de tackles, young d tackles
- 9:24Speaker 6: that look really promising. Especially you know, uh Breze, the
- 9:27Speaker 6: guy you drafted the third.
- 9:28Speaker 4: Round brought the other day against Denver.
- 9:31Speaker 6: For sure, Yeah, dude, and then Christian Boyd. You know,
- 9:35Speaker 6: so I'd say tight end and offensive line you should
- 9:39Speaker 6: definitely look into. Uh oh, another thing, Devin Neil his
- 9:43Speaker 6: first game. You know, we really wanted to see what
- 9:45Speaker 6: Devin Neil was gonna do, touted from Kansas, and Devin
- 9:48Speaker 6: Neil went at that and just looked good. It like,
- 9:51Speaker 6: didn't do anything crazy, didn't break a fifty yard run
- 9:54Speaker 6: or anything like that, but looked good, looked comfortable. You know,
- 9:58Speaker 6: So I think it's going to be a tough decision
- 10:01Speaker 6: at running back, and I hate to say it because
- 10:03Speaker 6: you know it's probably gonna involve my guy, our guy,
- 10:07Speaker 6: Clyde Edwards Hilo. You know, I hope he's able to
- 10:09Speaker 6: make the team, but also you know you got to
- 10:11Speaker 6: keep Devin me Lu too.
- 10:14Speaker 5: Devin Neil in the run game, I agree with you
- 10:16Speaker 5: looked very comfortable. The reason that I think Clyde has
- 10:19Speaker 5: an opportunity Devin Neil's pass protection reps. He looked like
- 10:23Speaker 5: a rookie that was not comfortable in that role. I'm
- 10:28Speaker 5: not sure that he got a hand on one of
- 10:30Speaker 5: his assignments. And so Dev as we all know, like
- 10:33Speaker 5: when you're talking running back like that is now today
- 10:36Speaker 5: like used too. You could get away with that in
- 10:38Speaker 5: the NFL, you can't anymore. And this isn't hating on
- 10:41Speaker 5: Devin Neil. I think he's a good player. I think
- 10:42Speaker 5: he's going to be a pro. But for Clyde, that's
- 10:45Speaker 5: really where his opportunity is going to be is because
- 10:48Speaker 5: he's such a good pass protector.
- 10:50Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think that stood out from what was
- 10:52Speaker 6: that preseason game one? You know he was just really blocking,
- 10:57Speaker 6: you know, past block and wow, so I mean the
- 11:01Speaker 6: guys that gotta go though, that's gonna be the main thing,
- 11:03Speaker 6: you know, go ahead and get rid of Fosky. It's
- 11:06Speaker 6: not I don't know if y'all. I mean, I'm sure
- 11:08Speaker 6: everybody keys in on Fosky in that third game a
- 11:10Speaker 6: little more than maybe what they want to. Dude, I'm
- 11:13Speaker 6: cam in on Foski. They got a tight end that
- 11:17Speaker 6: was playing for them at number eighty four, skinny skinny,
- 11:20Speaker 6: skinny dude, and Fosky could not get past this guy. Yeah,
- 11:24Speaker 6: and it was and he kept getting stalled out. So
- 11:28Speaker 6: it's just like it's over, bro.
- 11:29Speaker 5: Yeah, twenty nine plays deaf or Isaiah Foski. He graded
- 11:33Speaker 5: out at forty seven.
- 11:35Speaker 4: Oh, the second round pick.
- 11:38Speaker 5: That look, second round pick that can't play defense, can't
- 11:42Speaker 5: play special teams right now, it sucks, it hurts, but
- 11:46Speaker 5: you also, you owe it to this roster to keep
- 11:48Speaker 5: the fifty three best players, and he's not one of
- 11:50Speaker 5: the fifty three best.
- 11:51Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's how I feel about Heina too. Man.
- 11:54Speaker 6: You know nothing against them personally, but you owe it
- 11:56Speaker 6: to this roster. It's exactly how sad you owe it
- 11:58Speaker 6: to this roster to let this guy go, and let's see,
- 12:02Speaker 6: you know, keep I guess, keep a quarterback on practice squad,
- 12:05Speaker 6: which what's your boy's name, decas, you know, keep him
- 12:09Speaker 6: on practice squad and then you know, go get one
- 12:12Speaker 6: more point and dude, everything that is at this point
- 12:15Speaker 6: right one more play, but the roster that can make
- 12:17Speaker 6: a difference. That's you got.
- 12:19Speaker 1: To load up line. That's what you have to load up.
- 12:23Speaker 8: You have to get so many numbers that as many
- 12:24Speaker 8: numbers as you can at offensive line right now, the
- 12:26Speaker 8: way they're going down, I mean, in them playing decently,
- 12:29Speaker 8: there's a difference between a two and three win team
- 12:32Speaker 8: and you know six seven team win. I mean, that's
- 12:35Speaker 8: that's the difference that this is going to make because
- 12:38Speaker 8: they're they're starting wide receiver corps talented can make all
- 12:41Speaker 8: the plays. I think the running back room is really
- 12:43Speaker 8: good and I think their quarterbacks aren't going to be
- 12:45Speaker 8: the big problem. If that this team is going to
- 12:48Speaker 8: go as that offensive line goes, and it might not
- 12:50Speaker 8: be very far from what we've seen. So they got
- 12:52Speaker 8: to load up on the numbers. Hopefully they strike gold
- 12:55Speaker 8: with some sort of free agent that they bring in
- 12:57Speaker 8: that's just like all right, this guy was underlooked at
- 12:59Speaker 8: the last team he was on. Or is this an
- 13:01Speaker 8: older guy that's a you know, a pro bowler back
- 13:03Speaker 8: in his prime, but it's a little bit old. But
- 13:05Speaker 8: then all of a sudden he gets a boost of energy.
- 13:07Speaker 8: Whatever it is. They have to have something. They got
- 13:10Speaker 8: to get lucky. They have to make some some good
- 13:12Speaker 8: signs on this offense line. You gotta get numbers though.
- 13:15Speaker 6: Yeah, how about dude, I can't believe Sam Allenser. Bro,
- 13:20Speaker 6: that was that was insane? Man. Uh to watch this
- 13:23Speaker 6: guy just make every single play a mess like that?
- 13:28Speaker 6: You know, you want to talk about a quarterback to
- 13:29Speaker 6: look at uh, you know, maybe maybe you can stet
- 13:33Speaker 6: of looking at Sam Allen. That dude look good. I
- 13:35Speaker 6: got the things, bro. Let me tell you they're gonna
- 13:37Speaker 6: be the Allnger family come this Christmas. They're gonna have
- 13:40Speaker 6: that tape on while they opening up Presence and everybody's
- 13:44Speaker 6: gonna be happy. Dude, because that's that was something mouse.
- 13:48Speaker 5: This is pre season game three, you know, I mean,
- 13:52Speaker 5: God did say Texas was back a long time ago.
- 13:54Speaker 4: He's just a fortune teller.
- 13:55Speaker 5: Uh, dev tell me about the trip, man, tell me

- 15:46Speaker 6: am very uninformed, man, I really am.
- 15:49Speaker 1: Oh you'll find it. Hey, I got so.
- 15:51Speaker 8: I know you're a fan of the fighting. This past
- 15:53Speaker 8: weekend we had a little fight incident with a son
- 15:56Speaker 8: of Rampage Jackson.
- 15:57Speaker 1: I guess it's Roger Jackson. Yeah, did you you take
- 16:01Speaker 1: that in?
- 16:02Speaker 8: How many times did you watch that brutal clip of
- 16:04Speaker 8: him just destroying a guy in an amateur wrestling event.
- 16:07Speaker 6: I mean, glad you asked a lot, very very invested
- 16:12Speaker 6: in what was going on, because not only am I'm
- 16:14Speaker 6: a big USC fan, but I'm a huge wrestling fans.
- 16:17Speaker 7: You know.
- 16:17Speaker 6: The first thing I remember watching when I was conscious
- 16:19Speaker 6: was wrestling, you know, in the late nineties. But that's
- 16:25Speaker 6: that you know what that is. That's that streaming stuff, bro,
- 16:28Speaker 6: that's that kick twitch whatever. Streaming every second of your life.
- 16:34Speaker 6: I can tell you my observation as it got to
- 16:36Speaker 6: his head to where he wanted to, I don't know,
- 16:41Speaker 6: make an impact on his streams?
- 16:43Speaker 1: Is that a thing like that? So is he literally
- 16:45Speaker 1: someone filming everything that he does?
- 16:48Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, rampage. That's how Kayson Not and all
- 16:52Speaker 6: of them got famous, Like they literally stream every minute
- 16:56Speaker 6: of their life. Couldn't be me, bro, I gotta be honest,
- 16:58Speaker 6: could not be me, because I mean, if you do
- 17:01Speaker 6: that and look respect to him, man, make it how
- 17:03Speaker 6: you're gonna make it. You can't say, kay's not They're
- 17:05Speaker 6: make it right. But every second of your life, you know,
- 17:09Speaker 6: at what point can you step back and be a human.
- 17:12Speaker 6: That's That's the only thing about that. But yeah, it
- 17:16Speaker 6: looks like the wrestler. It was so funny because that
- 17:19Speaker 6: is how wrestling is, especially independent wrestlers. Like they're sitting
- 17:22Speaker 6: in the back of the building, sitting back there, just
- 17:25Speaker 6: drinking beer, getting ready for the show. And you know,
- 17:28Speaker 6: I think the Rampage's son had said, no, I don't
- 17:32Speaker 6: know who you are, and and then the guy was like, oh,
- 17:35Speaker 6: you don't know who I am. I forget his name.
- 17:36Speaker 6: I don't know either. But he smashed to be a
- 17:39Speaker 6: prop be on his head. You know, did a did
- 17:41Speaker 6: a work what they call a work in wrestling, and
- 17:45Speaker 6: Rampage his son. Of course, he's Rampage his son. You know,
- 17:48Speaker 6: it's not like he's you know, I don't know, like
- 17:53Speaker 6: a famous wrestler's son. He's Rampaged his son. He's a
- 17:56Speaker 6: UFC Hall of Fame his son. Right, So you smash
- 17:59Speaker 6: a bill on his head, even if it's a prop,
- 18:01Speaker 6: he's probably gonna feel disrespected, especially if you don't know
- 18:03Speaker 6: anything about wrestling, And that's exactly what happened. But then
- 18:06Speaker 6: they wound up apologizing or they got the wrestl want
- 18:09Speaker 6: to apologize, and it seemed like Rampage's son was cool
- 18:12Speaker 6: with everything and next thing, you know it, they set
- 18:15Speaker 6: them up to it. Hey, get your payback in the ring,
- 18:18Speaker 6: you know, slam them, do a couple of punches, but
- 18:21Speaker 6: if they don't mean, they don't mean, punch the guy.
- 18:25Speaker 6: And then twenty times after that. I don't understand whether
- 18:29Speaker 6: miscommunication wants that, but.
- 18:33Speaker 1: Many don't. You see, red, It's hard to stop.
- 18:36Speaker 6: Wait, and you know how the internet is now, Like
- 18:38Speaker 6: you got people in the comments of this clip and
- 18:40Speaker 6: stuff saying, oh, well, he smashed a bill on his head. Dude,
- 18:43Speaker 6: did you forget that? You're looking at wrestling like this
- 18:46Speaker 6: is not How can we How can so many people
- 18:49Speaker 6: for so many years say, oh, wrestling's fake, wrestling's fake.
- 18:53Speaker 6: Wrestling's fake, And then when this one incident happens, Oh,
- 18:56Speaker 6: did you not see him get a beer smash.
- 18:58Speaker 7: On his head? Dude?
- 18:58Speaker 6: It's wrestling. How are we forgetting that? That's why I
- 19:03Speaker 6: really like, I'm worried about society sometimes.
- 19:07Speaker 1: How big is the underground independent wrestling scene?
- 19:11Speaker 6: Pretty big?
- 19:12Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 19:12Speaker 1: Yeah?

- 23:31Speaker 8: Uh Tommy Fleetwood, that's right, winner PUBB the PGA Tour Championship,
- 23:40Speaker 8: win's the FedEx Cup. Win's a purse of ten million dollars.
- 23:44Speaker 8: His first win on the PGA Tour comes in dramatic fashion,
- 23:48Speaker 8: the biggest tournament of the year. From a payday standpoint, Uh,
- 23:52Speaker 8: he held off Scheffer, didn't have the best day, held
- 23:55Speaker 8: off Patrick Cantley. It was a It was a great
- 23:57Speaker 8: tournament for him. He had a great finish and uh yeah,
- 24:00Speaker 8: wins his first PGA Tour win. But on top of that,
- 24:03Speaker 8: another to me, wee wee can winner from that tournament
- 24:07Speaker 8: is Keegan Bradley, the captain for the Ryder Cup. He's
- 24:11Speaker 8: got the biggest decision to make in his life this week.
- 24:13Speaker 8: He has wanted to be on the Ryder Cup team
- 24:16Speaker 8: and deserves it, but he has to make the hard choice.
- 24:19Speaker 8: Does he pick himself become the first player captain since
- 24:21Speaker 8: Arnold Palmer in nineteen sixty three, And I can tell
- 24:25Speaker 8: you he deserves it.
- 24:26Speaker 5: He was.
- 24:27Speaker 8: He hit one water ball I think on sixteenth yesterday
- 24:29Speaker 8: on the par three, and before that he was top
- 24:32Speaker 8: two or three. But anyway, he finishes tight seventh. He
- 24:37Speaker 8: finished tied seventh yesterday, and I think solidified the case.
- 24:41Speaker 8: Nobody can say anything if he decides to pick himself
- 24:43Speaker 8: as a player. Of course, he's gonna have to lean
- 24:45Speaker 8: on his assistant captain, Spirit Kisner Simpson Snetecker in Woodland.
- 24:50Speaker 8: But yeah, he's got a big decision to make, and
- 24:51Speaker 8: I think he has done enough, especially with a little
- 24:55Speaker 8: little exclamation park yesterday, Tye, and in the top ten
- 24:58Speaker 8: of the PGA Championship.
- 25:00Speaker 1: That's word championship, so we can win at him.
- 25:04Speaker 10: Weekend winner Zach Maxwell. You might be asking yourself who
- 25:08Speaker 10: is Zach Maxwell. Zach Maxwell's a rookie pitcher for the
- 25:12Speaker 10: Cincinnati Reds. Made his MLB debut over the weekend. This

- 29:39Speaker 5: Now, our guy, Matt Mock, former LSU quarterback national champion,
- 29:44Speaker 5: joins us.
- 29:44Speaker 4: Now, Matt, what's going on?
- 29:45Speaker 5: Man?
- 29:45Speaker 4: How are you doing? We appreciate the time.
- 29:48Speaker 7: Uh doing great, guys, So good to be on with.
- 29:51Speaker 4: You too, all right.
- 29:52Speaker 5: So, uh, number eighteen goes to a quarterback for the
- 29:56Speaker 5: first time. Well, since you weren't in two thousand and three,
- 30:00Speaker 5: over twenty years ago, so that's a big deal. Did
- 30:04Speaker 5: you think that you were gonna forever be in the
- 30:06Speaker 5: category by yourself there at quarterback?
- 30:10Speaker 7: I did not. I figured it would had to happen
- 30:12Speaker 7: at some point, you know. I kind of thought seven,
- 30:16Speaker 7: maybe there might be somebody else that would get it.
- 30:19Speaker 4: But no, he's a slappy bo Yeah.
- 30:22Speaker 7: Yeah, apparently. No. I mean I think he just looks
- 30:24Speaker 7: better at fifteen. That's what it is.
- 30:26Speaker 1: I turned it down, that's right, Sure you did that.
- 30:28Speaker 7: Huh.
- 30:30Speaker 5: So look I saw a cool deal man. Y'all got
- 30:33Speaker 5: a chance to FaceTime you and neus Meyer. But it
- 30:36Speaker 5: has to be pretty cool for you. I mean, you
- 30:37Speaker 5: wore it play quarterback, you win a national championship, and then,
- 30:40Speaker 5: like Garrett's story, for him to stay with LSU, not
- 30:44Speaker 5: transferm when certainly he could have. I mean, he could
- 30:46Speaker 5: have played almost anywhere in the country for a couple
- 30:49Speaker 5: of years, but he stays here at LSU. Earns a
- 30:52Speaker 5: job goes and throws for four thousand yards last year
- 30:55Speaker 5: and now he's wearing eighteen.
- 30:57Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean there hasn't been an lsu charge. I've
- 31:00Speaker 7: rooted for more in a long time, and not just
- 31:03Speaker 7: because he plays quarterback. But I think of those things
- 31:05Speaker 7: you talked about, I think loyalty and hard work are
- 31:11Speaker 7: just things that are kind of bypassed anymore in college football.
- 31:16Speaker 7: And I think the three of us. I mean, you
- 31:19Speaker 7: take a look at US. I think, Uh, Matt Flynn
- 31:21Speaker 7: right here, we've would have transferred, you know, two or
- 31:25Speaker 7: three different times, you know, I mean he sat behind
- 31:28Speaker 7: JaMarcus Russell, and not that he wasn't a better player,
- 31:32Speaker 7: just JaMarcus Russell's six six frost of all one hundred
- 31:35Speaker 7: yards hard to beat that guy out, but stayed around,
- 31:39Speaker 7: uh and ended up winning a national championship. So I
- 31:42Speaker 7: wish kids could learn from from Matt Flynn, from Garden
- 31:46Speaker 7: f Meyer and realized that it doesn't have to be
- 31:49Speaker 7: given to you. You can go earn it.
- 31:51Speaker 8: Yeah, we talked about it earlier, Matt. It's it's one
- 31:55Speaker 8: of those things where it doesn't matter where you are
- 31:56Speaker 8: in the country. I always tell people who aren't even
- 31:58Speaker 8: LSU fans don't know much the team. Like, if you're
- 32:01Speaker 8: a college football fan, Garrett somebody you want to watch
- 32:04Speaker 8: and cheer for because he is what's good about college football.
- 32:07Speaker 8: He is kind of this unicorn that right now that
- 32:10Speaker 8: will stick around in a world of people chasing dollars,
- 32:12Speaker 8: chasing money, chasing immediate starts, immediate gratification. He's doing it
- 32:16Speaker 8: the old school way in a way you like it,
- 32:17Speaker 8: and we should all be proud as LSU fans, But
- 32:19Speaker 8: I kind of want to know, like, in what an
- 32:21Speaker 8: honor it is to kind of you were the first
- 32:24Speaker 8: pass it on to Jacob and he gets us honored
- 32:26Speaker 8: to tell everybody like, this is what we think of Garrett.
- 32:28Speaker 8: This is the character guy he is. But as I
- 32:30Speaker 8: asked Jacob this all the time, like what kind of
- 32:32Speaker 8: do y'all get any any sort of feedback input at
- 32:35Speaker 8: the number eighteen?
- 32:38Speaker 7: You know, early on we did when it was still
- 32:41Speaker 7: kind of just an internal thing. Yeah, and then when
- 32:44Speaker 7: it kind of got a little bit bigger than what
- 32:46Speaker 7: any of us thought it was going to be, we
- 32:50Speaker 7: kind of and as it should, We're not. I mean,
- 32:53Speaker 7: you know, you guys are there. Jacob's there. He could
- 32:56Speaker 7: have a little more input. I'm I mean, I'm a
- 32:58Speaker 7: living Denver. I would have no idea. I admit us
- 33:02Speaker 7: two or three other times, but and he seemed like
- 33:05Speaker 7: a great guy. But you know, I'm not around people
- 33:08Speaker 7: enough to give any input in that. But I think
- 33:10Speaker 7: the people that have been there, you know, it was
- 33:13Speaker 7: Greg Stringfellow, Jack Burchie, Tommy moff At, Michael Bonnatt, some
- 33:17Speaker 7: of those guys were the original people. And deciding who
- 33:20Speaker 7: got that still gets some stay and to that. And
- 33:24Speaker 7: I think they've done a really good job. You know
- 33:26Speaker 7: when Saban left, Les Miles kind of started that, you know,
- 33:31Speaker 7: as a head coach wanted the eighteen tradition to happen.
- 33:35Speaker 7: And then they've done a good job passing that along
- 33:37Speaker 7: to coach O and then now to b K. So
- 33:40Speaker 7: it's just it's a cool tradition, no matter if I
- 33:43Speaker 7: was part of it or not. And I think again,
- 33:47Speaker 7: they've did a great job in the past, and they
- 33:49Speaker 7: kind of picked the perfect guy this year.
- 33:52Speaker 5: Yeah, And I know we're all excited to watch them
- 33:54Speaker 5: play this Saturday coming up, and this year right now
- 33:58Speaker 5: feels like a very exciting time or LSU. But just
- 34:01Speaker 5: from you know, Gary Nussmeyer and looking at the weapons
- 34:03Speaker 5: that he has, I know he's got to be excited
- 34:06Speaker 5: about that as well. I mean, you know, you go
- 34:08Speaker 5: for over four thousand yards your first year as a starter.
- 34:10Speaker 5: But you know, I always ask Flynn this as well,
- 34:13Speaker 5: like Matt, when you're going from year one to year
- 34:15Speaker 5: two and it's like your team, I have to imagine
- 34:18Speaker 5: that there's just a comfortability that just wasn't there the
- 34:21Speaker 5: first year. Even though your first year was great, it
- 34:23Speaker 5: was outstanding, like just knowing it's your team for like
- 34:26Speaker 5: the full off season. The second year, I'm sure things
- 34:28Speaker 5: slowed down a bunch free as well.
- 34:31Speaker 7: Oh, without a doubt. I think, you know, experience is
- 34:37Speaker 7: something that you can't can't practice and when you get
- 34:43Speaker 7: in those environments when it's loud or it's a tough situation,
- 34:48Speaker 7: the more times you do it, the better out of
- 34:50Speaker 7: you are. So I think that's had a great year
- 34:53Speaker 7: last year, but I expect even even bigger things this year.
- 34:56Speaker 8: Yeah, I think we all kind of have high expectations.
- 34:58Speaker 8: But you know, we got we got a bunch of
- 35:00Speaker 8: listeners right now, big Matt Monk fans and LSU fans
- 35:04Speaker 8: like tell Us tell everybody like, what what are you
- 35:06Speaker 8: doing right now?
- 35:07Speaker 1: Like where you at? Tell us about your life. What
- 35:09Speaker 1: does Matt Mock get into?
- 35:12Speaker 7: Uh, Jeff, I've got I live in Denver, Colorado. Got

- 36:16Speaker 1: You host me on my official visit.
- 36:19Speaker 8: First time to meet you a little nervous to beat
- 36:20Speaker 8: the big bad Matt Mark where John wentzen. Most people
- 36:24Speaker 8: think you on official recruiting trips. Man, it's gonna get crazy. Man,
- 36:26Speaker 8: what'd y'all do? I mean beers you drink blah blah blah. No,

- 36:42Speaker 7: Girls yet, girls, Yeah, let's just make sure.

- 36:51Speaker 1: I think we went and saw John Q. Maybe.
- 36:56Speaker 4: Look, Mark was established, you know, I mean he was
- 36:58Speaker 4: a little bit older and he got here, so.
- 37:02Speaker 7: You know, I mean, yeah, if I'm gonna, if I'm gonna,
- 37:05Speaker 7: you know, get a haul pass, I'm not using it
- 37:07Speaker 7: on your.
- 37:07Speaker 1: Butt that was already committed right.
- 37:15Speaker 7: To do anything, you know.
- 37:16Speaker 8: I remember, So we're riding, You're you're driving me around.
- 37:18Speaker 8: I think we were going to like the recruiting dinner
- 37:20Speaker 8: that night, and we're talking about like, hey, you just
- 37:22Speaker 8: getting to know each other.
- 37:23Speaker 1: And I'm like, you're, hey, man, so what do you
- 37:25Speaker 1: you ask me?
- 37:25Speaker 9: Like?
- 37:25Speaker 1: What do you what do you like about?
- 37:26Speaker 7: What?
- 37:26Speaker 9: She was like?
- 37:27Speaker 1: Man, I really jimp and Fisher's been really great he's super.
- 37:30Speaker 8: Nice and you're like, huh, yeah, he's a pretty good guy.
- 37:37Speaker 8: I was like, oh, is he different to y'all that
- 37:40Speaker 8: are playing here than the recruits?
- 37:41Speaker 1: Weird?
- 37:42Speaker 4: So that was the first that I learned.
- 37:44Speaker 1: I learned real fast once I got on campus. A
- 37:46Speaker 1: little bit different.
- 37:47Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I will say this though. You know Jimbo
- 37:50Speaker 7: obviously you know it's pretty loud during practices, but you
- 37:56Speaker 7: don't always understand it. But I will say he puts
- 37:59Speaker 7: so much pressure on you in practice. By the time
- 38:01Speaker 7: you get to the games. Oh my god, thank god,
- 38:04Speaker 7: Jimbo's up in the box.
- 38:05Speaker 1: You can't yell at me exactly.
- 38:07Speaker 5: So I do radio like over on Series SIXM on Tuesdays.
- 38:11Speaker 5: Jimbo is actually a co host with me, and he
- 38:13Speaker 5: like the stories that he gets into about you two.
- 38:17Speaker 4: It's awesome there.
- 38:18Speaker 5: But like the one of the things that I always
- 38:20Speaker 5: remember like going like even when I was a recruit
- 38:22Speaker 5: and I come watch y'all practice or i'd be there
- 38:24Speaker 5: with Lynn.
- 38:25Speaker 4: Can you tell me why?
- 38:27Speaker 9: Just tell me why?
- 38:28Speaker 1: Man, why did you do it?
- 38:29Speaker 5: He always asked, y'all, can you tell me why? And
- 38:32Speaker 5: then y'all would tell him, and he didn't like y'all's answer.
- 38:35Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, so this is my favorite Jimbo. So this
- 38:38Speaker 7: is why I just get there. Josh Booty as the starter, okay,
- 38:41Speaker 7: and we're just kind of r PO is just starting
- 38:44Speaker 7: up and we're kind of sticking out, and Josh Booty
- 38:47Speaker 7: was I mean, I don't know if I've ever seen
- 38:49Speaker 7: someone throw a football better than him, but he wasn't
- 38:52Speaker 7: not I would say, the most fleet of foot or
- 38:54Speaker 7: running type quarterback. So we're doing this for our PO.
- 38:58Speaker 1: You read be in.
- 38:58Speaker 7: You're supposed to hand it off or pull it and run. Well,
- 39:03Speaker 7: you know, it wasn't for Josh, it was for other people. Well,
- 39:06Speaker 7: finally Josh pulls it. Literally, Jarvis Green runs right into him,
- 39:12Speaker 7: and Jimbo's like, you know why why Josh? Why and
- 39:16Speaker 7: just because you don't want to know?
- 39:21Speaker 6: Yeah, I do.
- 39:24Speaker 7: Well, I've never done it before. I just wanted to
- 39:25Speaker 7: try it.
- 39:26Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, that that tracks tracks that tracks?
- 39:33Speaker 6: Josh.
- 39:34Speaker 5: Oh minute, Hey, Matt, I know you're on the run here,
- 39:37Speaker 5: so we appreciate you giving us a couple of minutes.
- 39:40Speaker 4: And man, we'll have to do this again soon.
- 39:43Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 39:43Speaker 7: Yeah, Hey, and Jacob and I talked and we we'd
- 39:45Speaker 7: like to get Matt Flynn and honorary eighteen jersey.
- 39:50Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the only way he's going to get it,
- 39:54Speaker 5: you know.
- 39:54Speaker 4: So we felt like we had to do that together.
- 40:02Speaker 9: There.
- 40:02Speaker 5: He is national champion, Matt mont good enough to join
- 40:05Speaker 5: us here on OTB doing big things there. And I
- 40:09Speaker 5: always say it like, biggest, one of the biggest surprises
- 40:12Speaker 5: I've ever had. We're doing the team physical twenty thirteen.
- 40:15Speaker 5: I walk in there and playing for the Broncos, and
- 40:18Speaker 5: I sit down and Matt Mock comes into the room,
- 40:20Speaker 5: and I swear to God for like ten seconds, I'm like,
- 40:22Speaker 5: is Matt Monck making her come back into the NFL?
- 40:25Speaker 5: And know he's there to fit me for my mouthpiece
- 40:27Speaker 5: because he was the team dentist for the Denver Broncos.
- 40:30Speaker 5: So I always enjoy catching up with Matt mak the

- 43:32Speaker 8: And when you win, you gotta have something to celebrate with, right,
- 43:35Speaker 8: You got to show the people that you're a winner,
- 43:38Speaker 8: that what you said was right. When I say Dabos

- 43:47Speaker 8: The life's too short not to celebrate the victory.
- 43:49Speaker 1: So that's fair. We got a little something, all right
- 43:51Speaker 1: to celebrate these said victories.
- 43:57Speaker 4: Oh not to turnover Jane.
- 43:59Speaker 1: That's what we call it. Turn over chain, right there,
- 44:02Speaker 1: O t B turnover chain.

- 44:32Speaker 4: What if gonna what if two people's comes true?
- 44:34Speaker 1: What do you do? Well? Then we'll just have to share.

- 44:44Speaker 1: Disclosure not real gold, not real gold.
- 44:47Speaker 2: And I gotta tell you, could you could have given
- 44:49Speaker 2: me ten guesses as to what was in that box,
