  Speaker 2: going to be live from from l s U. Correct,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: and so we are going to be asking people to
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: come and come to l s U and get swapped
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: like a little Yes, there's a girl named Kate and
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: she has a condition. Then she needs bone marrow transplant.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: And bone mara is not like blood. It's not like
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: a specific type like you have to. It has to
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: be the very it's a very rare situation to find
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: a blood marrow match. And they've been doing this for
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: a little while now, gone to different locations. They've had
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: different events to try to find a match to help
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: save her life, and they have not been able to
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: do it. So what we're doing, but the more swabs
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: the better. So if you're able, if you're willing, if
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: this is something that speaks to you, we're obviously for
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: one of four or five ESPN it speaks to us
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: because every show is going to be there tomorrow. We're
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: just going to be raising awareness and.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Like, look, we'll have some swag out there too.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have some swag.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know free Stiff always gives people out. I've
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: got some free if if it's free, it's me. I've
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: got some sick Camo ESPN hats that we're going to
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: be given out.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, it's it's gonna be a great event,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: and like, look, how cool would it be to find
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: a match?
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: It's it hadn't I so badly want her to find
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: a match here.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: It's a huge event and it's again they've been at
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: different places, different cities trying to They've.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: Been at Mississippi State, they've been out Ole miss They've
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: been several different they have thousands of people that have
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: come to get swabbed, right, and she has not found
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: a match yet. Now I will say that like when
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: you get swabbed, it's not just for Kate. You're added
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: to the registry, so you could find like you could
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: be somebody else's match, and you could save somebody else's
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: life if even if it's not Kate's, you know what
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: I mean. I mean, God willing we find a match
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: for her at some point, but you get added to

• 22:28
  Speaker 3: What happened? Didn't she save that guy from a car
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: wreck or something?
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: She did save that guy from a car wreck, but
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: like briefly before that, she did some other stuff with
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: another guy. It happens to be the head coach of
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: the New England Patriots. They weren'ted a private bungalow together
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: and apparently was it it's a it was an investigative
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: person like it was hired potential allegedly, yes, allegedly. The
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: te hot goss.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: The hot goss on the street is that Russini's husband
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: hired a private investigator because there's also like a picture
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: of them at a bar.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: Have you seen that one?
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen that one, and it looks.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Like it's like a hitting camera flirtatious. Oh, they're like
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: standing out at the bar together.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: She's just getting the scoop. Yeah, just a little scoop.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Well now that off season has started. Yeah, of course
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: he is the head coach for the New England Patriots.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: We've talked about it, like he's probably his job's probably
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: pretty safe, Oh, Robert Kraft, he's at his run. Ends
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: a little missoilish parlor situation happening, so he's got like
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: no room to talk a little bit. They've had their
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: issues over there. I think they like look the other
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: way a little bit. And he's a really good head coach.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: That would be so unfortunate if this situation would carry
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: over and spill over and like make him lose his job,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: because I'm sure at some places it would. We see
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: it happen in college sports all the time. When these
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: types of things happen, a head football coach loses his job.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: It would be a shame because I think rabil is
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: A is a really good football head coach. Obviously, if
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: the alleged transgressions happened off the field. We're not gonna
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: look up or respect that portion. But he had to
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: get in front of the microphone yesterday and of course
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: address everything and certainly sounded like a guilty man.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: I told you during the break it was giving Bill Clinton.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so he like, I mean, he had to say,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: he had to say the things, okay, and I'll read
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: you a little bit of what he did have to say.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: He said, I've had some difficult conversations with people I
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: care about, my family, the organization, the coaches, the players.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Those have been positive and productive. We believe in order
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: to be successful on and off the field, you have
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: to make good decision that includes me and that starts
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: with me. So we've had to He's had to have
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: some difficult conversations with his family. I was I was
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: reading this and I was like, I don't think you
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: did Russini any favors this situation, because she put her
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: foot in the ground and said I'm going to quit
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: the athletic because they are saying they are wrong. This
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: is this is false narrative. There's no truth behind this. Yeah,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: I get it looks bad. I was just there to
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: get the scoop though, I just got I got relationships.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I got that kind of relationship with a lot of
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: different people, but you mightn't know. But yeah, but Mike
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: basically said, yeah, I hit it.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Mike was like, I did that.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we did that. I've had to have these conversations.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: They're not difficult unless you did the thing. So he's
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: had to have these difficult conversations. But it certainly sounds
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: like he will continue to be the head coach unless
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: like some other stuff was going out.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know, so did you remember like
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: whenever the story first came out, him and Russini both
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: came out with statements denying the allegations, and mil Rabel
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: called them laughable.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: He was like, oh, the pictures are laughable, this situated whatever.
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: So a reporter actually asked him if he still thought
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: that the implication of the photos was laughable, and he
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: totally like sideswipe or side stuff the question, Like he
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: was like, I appreciate the question, but we're going to
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: focus on the football team right now.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: So and he's got an obligation to speak to the media,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: of course, and they started and like he's not going
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: to let his players have to answer these questions before him.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: So it's one of those things, man, you just have
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: to got to take your medicine.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, he kind of just like hid until yesterday.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: But Diana was out here just first of all, her
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: PR team was working overtime with that wreck, saving lives.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: She's never like she's a lifesaver, she's a good Samaritan.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: And then she like quit the athletic posted about it
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: and then tried to, like the day after the story broke,
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: tried to tweet something like breaking something or like a
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: report of some sort, and everybody was like, bro come on, God,
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: like what are you trying to do here? And then
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: so she was like kind of taking it on the chin,
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: no pun intended. And he's like just kind of hiding
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: until yesterday.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: What do you mean, no pun intended.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: It's just taking it on the you know.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Not a great look. No, not a great look for her.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Like for him, he did what he had to do.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: He's going to keep his job, you would assume, unless
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: like there's some other stuff that starts coming out, He's
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: gonna be fine. I think so she had to, you know,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: which I mean you could I don't think that's a
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: double standard. I think it's just make a more safe job.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: I think, well, first, I don't think it's a double standard.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: I think she put herself out there more than Mike
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: Rabel did. Right, Like she was resigning, she was putting
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: out statements. Mike Rabel just be quiet mm hmm, like
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: he stayed silent until he had to go up in
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: front of the press. So she kind of like put
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: herself in the line of fire. Not to like victim
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: blame her. I don't even know she's a victim, but
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: like not to like blame her. I don't think it's
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: a double standard because I think she did it to herself.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Thoughts Cassie, Yeah, who.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Side are you on? I don't know if there's sides
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: to take here.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: I'm on the side of the people.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: The people. Hey, if you're married, don't do anything stupid.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: What's the point? What's the point?
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Wait?
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: What are we doing?
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: You just took your team to the Super Bowl? Literally
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: that was awful a year before.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: The funnier part about this is like all the clips
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: surfacing of Diana Russini just like crapping on her husband
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: any chance.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: She got, Oh, something tells me he might not be
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: that bothered by it.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: Who Mike Rabel, Oh the husband. I don't know if
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: he he allegedly hired a private investigator. That feels like
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: a revenge move to me. Yeah, but I think of
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: things differently than men do, so like girls think of
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: stuff differently, Like.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: That's something I would do. Oh, your cheating on me.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: I'm about to hire a private investigator and I'm gonna
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: sell it to tabloids.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: And I'm gonna remember that old show that came on
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: like late night Cheaters, cheaters like Fox late night. Yeah,
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: so dumb, yeah, gotcha. There's a TV crew.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: And everybody was sick.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know, say, am I like eleven pm after
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: should have been asleep. We don't have anybody, we don't
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: have a late night show. So here's some people cheating
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: that we caught.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: I wonder if any of those were real or if
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: it was just all stage.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: It had to be, right, I mean it was real
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: and they were still like bad actors. All right. Well, well,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: on that note, we're just gonna good stuff. It was
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: a good breakdown, and so we'll see how it all
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: plays out. We'll see if Dinana Versini gets her gets
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: ever ever gets back in the media. But we would
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: assume Mike Brabill still gonna be the coach from the
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: England Patriots headed into the draft, and we're gonna we're
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: gonna talk a little draft one. What are you laugh?
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: Well, somebody in the chat Albo said, I think they
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: stopped that show because the host got stabbed.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have to look this up. That would be classic.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: O my god. All right, I do have a little
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: bit of NFL newsky on the other side, so we'll
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: get to that might be about Garrett Nussmeyer in his
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: landing spot potentially or hopefully so. Stick with us right
• 31:16

  Speaker 2: at number eight. Are they gonna go Monsore? They're gonna
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: go Sunday? They who are they gonna go? We don't know.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: We're tired of speculating, We're tired of guessing. It's about
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: time to actually find out and have something tangible to
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: talk about here in a couple of days. But until
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: that point we're gonna keep speculating. But something has happened.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: A little news did reach out yesterday and I saw
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: which I found interesting. Of course, we've been talking a
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: lot about Garrett Smeyer and his cyst on a spinal
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: cord and how that might have impacted the way he
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: played this past year, and how just like annoying and
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: frustrating that is for all those LSU fans, and I'm
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: sure for Garrett as well. But I've been saying for
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: a long time, well I'll say a long time last
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks, like I would love for Garrett to
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: get in the right situation to be able to grow
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: learn within a good offensive scheme with stability at a
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: coaching staff. And I've said, man, I would love for
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: him to go to the Rams. My second choice room
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: would be the Packers, just because that play style that
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: he has is I think a little bit similar to
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Jordan Love. But for years I have compared him, since
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: he's been here, I've compared him to the play style
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: of Matthew Stafford. Now I'm not comparing the players. I'm
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: comparing the play styles. Very talented with your arm can
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: throw it. Like when I first went and saw Garrett
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: and as Meyer in practice in a scrimmage when he
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: was a freshman making throws and reads and decisions that
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: you can't really teach. He anticipated people getting open over
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: the middle, which is hard to do as a freshman
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: coming out of high school in a college atmosphere in
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Tiger Stadium in a scrimmage. The anticipation, the ability to
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: know that I can I can fit it in. It
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: might not look open. That route might not look open
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: to most people, but to me, I see leverage on
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: a defensive back, I see a linebacker with his back turn.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: He was able to pull the trigger. And Matthew Stafford
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: has always been really good at that. Able to throw
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: from different arm angles as well. Of course, Matthew Stafford
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: has like one of the most gifted arm talents. Ball
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: out of the hand, wrisked finger extension pronation like one
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: of the best we've ever seen do it at different
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: arm angles. Matthew sav was still doing it. He'll be
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer. Of course, got his first MVP
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: this past season was his first. I can't remember anyway,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: I think it was that. That is my hope that
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: he goes there gets to learn from one of the
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: best to ever do it. Sean McVay has had one
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: of the top offenses almost every year that he's been
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: the head coach. I think he's been the head coach
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: of the Rams for nine years. In that wild nine years,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Sean McVay has been the head coach for the Rams.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: So that is where me that I'm sitting, and I
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: think that would be a fantastic landing spotform Well, I
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: saw some news yesterday that piqued my interest a little bit.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: RAMS backup quarterback is Jimmy Garoppolo. Now, Jimmy Garoppolo has
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: played you know, he's played football for for quite a
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: long time. He has let's see, he's played twelve years.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: It's made over one hundred and fifty six million dollars.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Garoppolo and currently thirty four years old. He's actually
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: contemplayed in retirement right now. That came out yesterday and
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Sean mcg they had to address this, and he said,
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: we leave the door open. You don't want to like
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: press him. We want to be able to give him
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: his time to make that decision. And he knows where
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: we stand, which I'm sure is I'm sure they want
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: him back, and he's one of the top backup quarterbacks
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: in the league. Once was a starter, and you know,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: he was a high draft pick. I was actually with
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: him his rookie year in New England. So if he retires,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: certainly that moves up the time frame. Now Garrett has
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: you know, once we had said that we don't know
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: where he's going to get drafted. We don't know if
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: he was going to halfway through the season. I don't
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: know if he's draftable. At this point, well, everything has
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: come He's done all the right things, performed great at
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: the Senior Bowl, had a good combine show, and has
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: shown people that, look, there was an issue. It wasn't
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: just me forgetting how to throw the football, how to read.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Deefen says, I didn't like overnight start to suck, Like,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: that's not me. That last season was. So let's go back,
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: let's look at the complete body of work of my
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: years at LSU, and let's take a look at everything.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: And so since then, I don't know if anybody's helped
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: themselves more than Garrett Nesmeyer has in this whole draft process,
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: you go from a late round guy to now being
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: thought of as a you know, probably a second to
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: fourth round grade for most teams. That doesn't mean he's
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: gonna go in the second, but they put him a
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: two to four grade. I don't know if anybody's gonna
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: have him outside of that, but the Rams are one
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: of those teams that now other people are projecting might
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: scoop him up in that second or third round. Of course,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: the Rams a really good team, probably the second best
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: team in the NFL last year. I think the only
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: team that could have beat the Seahawks at that time
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: of the year was the Rams, and they of course
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: got beating the NFC championship That to me was the
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: super Bowl, that NFC Championship game. So they don't need
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: as much help as other teams, so I would it
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: would be so fantastic if Garrett could go to the Rams.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: So that's where I'm hoping for him. That's where I'm
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: gonna predict him. And now with Jimmy Garoppolo actually contemplating
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: retirement and even if he does a there's uncertainty there
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: now for the Rams organization, their GM, their head coach,
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: all their all their scouts. They have to be looking
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: at the future a little bit, and hopefully that future
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: could potentially be Garrett Nessmeyer. I don't know who else
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: it's going to be. I don't think if Carson Beck
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: fits the mold of that type of offense. There's maybe
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: a couple of other players that do. I don't know
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: if Taylor Green fits them mold to that offense. Those
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: are guys that are kind of in the same have
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: kind of the same grade as nus Meyer. I think
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Nesmar would be a good addition to them for that
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: and could fit Weather nicely with the Sean McVay offense.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: So here's the hope. And I guess that's all we
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: can do right now. Because it's all hope, it's all guesses.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Nobody knows. I guess what well know. In a couple
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: of days, Cassie, Garrett Nessmeyer, what teams are you going
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: to be on in three days?
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: On the Rams?
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: I guess, ol Andre, what teams Garrettsmyer going to?
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: I guess the Rams' Oh my.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: Gosh, come on, people, you could have picked thirty one other.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: The Rams are.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh, Okay, kay, Pittsburgh's not a bad one. Yeah, Pittsburgh,
• 41:18
