  Speaker 3: Welcome in OTV here on this Thursday morning. Yesterday felt
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: like Thursday all day long and so I had to
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: check the watch. I didn't get a text from Flynn
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: saying something about Rouse's so I knew it wasn't Friday.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah bro, you've been a little discombobulated this week.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: How's that?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: That's kind of crazy, man.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: A little tired. A little discombobulated.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: No, you know. You already know.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: I have not one time said anything about being tired, sir.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Wow. Your actions speak so loud, I can't hear what
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: you're saying.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: I don't think so.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: It's what coaches say, though.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I mean, about me being tired. Actions do
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: speak really loud. They do. Yawns. Your eyes.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: There's really nothing you can do about your eyes, either.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: They give it away.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Like, right now, like, yep. You get some puffy eyes.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but every day, mine are puffy.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: They really are.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: They don't get un-puffy until about noon. If we did
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: the show at noon.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Electric?
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: You'd be like, this guy knows sports.
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: Is that when you hit your prime?
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. At noon? And I don't really mispronounce words after noon.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: We would never know.
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was about to say, it's a shame we
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: don't have evidence of this.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: You can take my word for it.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: I do talk to you a lot through text after noon.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the autocorrect.
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: I got you. I got you. Got a lot of
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: work done yesterday?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, God.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Yesterday. Yesterday.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: You stink.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Yesterday was busy.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: It was busy.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: It was today.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Everybody's busy, you know?
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: We can leave yesterday in the past.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It's true.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Well, we got no choice.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: I'm being profound.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: We got no choice but to leave it in the past.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: It was a good day. I mean, there was nothing bad. No, like,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: high stress, high anything.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Just busy, man. Just busy.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: That's what happens when the kids are at fall break.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: They demand that you don't go to your office for
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: two days.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: They actually were calling you to go to the club yesterday.
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: We did your club.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: They wanted me to come eat lunch with them. And
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: you know what? When my little girls call me, bat
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: their eyes, and say please, I got no defenses.
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: Problem is, Matt, they've clearly picked up on this. Like,
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: you've given zero resistance. Yeah, and I'm okay with that, honestly.
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: You guys get it. Now my son.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Poor Huck. Jeez.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Toughen up, kid.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: The oldest. I know.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Gotta toughen him up.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's the heir to the throne.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Mr. Harlow over there.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Uh-huh.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Golly.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Last time you told her no.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: June 21st, 2023. Because she wasn't born yet. The next day.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: The next day. I knew. I'd already had four chances
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: at it. I knew.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: It's crazy. My dad had no issues telling me no.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: Not a single issue.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Oh. You got a younger sister, though.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: I do.
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: Hmm.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: That's the thing. Once the dust is settled. I know.
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: I took all the heat for her. I really took
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: one for the team for maybe my entire family.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Katie's the oldest one in the family. She's the same way.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I was. What a leader. Natural born.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Natural born.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Born into it. It is wild. And it works with
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: every family, basically. Katie had to be home at 10
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: on the weekends. If we went and saw a 725 movie,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: it was risky. We were going to have to, there
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: wasn't no staying for any. You were hoping there wasn't
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: that many previews before. There was nothing of that. And
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: she lived across town from the one theater we had
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: in Shreveport. So I was like, you got to book it. Oh, yeah. Right?
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: And she was, you know, 17, 18, right? Her youngest sister,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: because she's the oldest of five, moved to California at
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: the same age by herself. You know what I mean? Like,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: that's how far it kind of falls.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: I'm not really, like, a horoscope person or the Enneagram stuff.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: Like, I don't buy into that. Birth order, it hit, like,
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: every single time. Or, like, single child or whatever.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Only child.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: Only child. Like, all of that stuff is so true,
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: I find, in my life.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: I find more times than not.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: It definitely is. You're the youngest. Yeah. You had a
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: bigger family. You probably got away with much more than
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: your older siblings.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, for sure.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Oh, I got away with so much more. But I
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: didn't really take advantage of it.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Just stay alive.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I didn't take advantage of that. I was kind
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: of a goody-goody.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: I can see that.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: See, I got it.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: So that's why you act like you did in college.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I act like it. I was awesome. Yeah.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: No, you were a great time.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: You weren't a goody-goody.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I was a closer. I was a closer. When it
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: came to recruiting, you know?
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: I got it worse in two ways because, like, I
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: was– the middle child and the oldest son. So like
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: my sister, you know, she was the oldest, but they
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: never made her do anything. So like I was the
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: de facto oldest without any of the benefits. It just wasn't.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: So I feel like it worked different for me.
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: Like I was the middle child or I'm the middle child,
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: but I have an older brother, but they're, they just
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: let my older brother do whatever he wanted. Cause he
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: was the boy, like, but he was a boy and
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: I was a girl. So like, that was like, they
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: didn't let the girl do cause she's a girl.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: Like, I don't know.
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I'm thinking about my oldest is a boy,
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: then girl, girl.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Might do the same. Probably do the same.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: For sure.
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: But my sister was so far away from us that
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: my parents just, like, by the time she came around,
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: I wore them out.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: They're like, oh, hell. We are good.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: It is funny that, like, you'll, and I know a
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: lot of it's algorithm, but, like, you'll scroll in on Instagram.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Or whatever it is, and they're like, little videos of parents.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: I'll make like clips of the personalities of like every
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: person's first, second and third child. And I'm like, yeah,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: that's actually right. My third one is feral. But amazing
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: and loving and awesome.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: My sister was feral.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: It's great. It's great stuff.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: She was crazy.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: My third is a little man. We call him Jimmy
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Swagger sometimes because you've got to check yourself around him.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: He's going to pull something on you.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Would you use the word feral?
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: I would say savvy. Savvy? Savvy is how I describe Huddy, yeah.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: He might take you into a pyramid scheme by the
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: end of the night.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: He lives ABC life?
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, for sure.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: Always be closing.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Always be closing. For sure.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Always be closing. No matter what. Whether it's a juice
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: box or a pyramid scheme.
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: You might not know that you just closed, though. I
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: think that's what Jim's trying to get at.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm trying to get at. You don't know
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: that you signed the document, but you signed it. But
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: you got it somewhere. But you got it.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: You know how many report cards you probably signed?
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God. All of them.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my friend wants you to sign this card for him. Mm-hmm.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: It's got to be on this piece of paper.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: That's actually good.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Uh-huh.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Huck, if you're listening, you can get your daddy on that.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Funny autograph story.
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I think I might have told you this one before.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: When I was a rookie in Green Bay, players, they
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: always need to get stuff signed from other guys on
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: the team.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Like, hey, I got this charity or whatever. This is
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: for a friend of mine. Like, whatever it is.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Hey, can you sign this? Or a lot of times it's,
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: can we get the team to sign? Well, Johnny Jolly
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: was a defensive lineman for us. I remember him, yeah.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Good player.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Funny guy. The big sins with Jolly.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Very happy.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: You got to be.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Got to be.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: So I'm in the locker room. I think it's training camp.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: And this has been, you know, I've signed a decent
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: amount of things. Like, hey, we're getting the team to
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: sign this or this poster, this helmet, this jersey, whatever
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: it is. And so it's pretty standard center procedure. Well,
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: this is like in the depths of the first training camp.
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: And so I'm there. I'm a seventh round pick.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: I'm a quarterback.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: I was a second quarterback pick. And there was a
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: second round pick, Brian Brom from Louisville, who was there
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: as well. And of course, we are competing against each
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: other for a backup spot.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: And okay. So cool.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Well, Johnny Jolly comes up to me. It's just like
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: normal as anything. He's like, hey man, can you sign
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: this helmet?
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I'm getting everybody to sign it for charity.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Awesome.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I'll sign the helmet. He's like, just put it right
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: there on the side. I'm like, alright. Boom. And I
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: sign it.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: And The next thing I notice is where I practice,
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: and Brian Braum's helmet has my signature on it.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: He just took Brian's helmet and got me to sign it. Oh, no.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: That's so funny.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, boy. Of course, he's not taking
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: credit for it. He's like, what'd you sign his helmet for?
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: Dude?
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I swear to God.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: He was older. He was a vet at that point.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, for sure.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: I wonder if this Jolly, who just got drafted this year,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: last year, tied in from NC State. Maybe. I'll look
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: that up.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: That's actually a really good prank, though. That was a
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: good prank. It was the first time I'd seen it.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Everybody did it a little bit different. Chargers, they had
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: like a table of like, hey, this is for charity, auctions, for,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: you know, whatever, family members. And as you walk by,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: you just, you know, sign whatever. In Denver, they would
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: take a bucket of, you know, those like white panel
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: balls that you're supposed to sign. Well, it would take
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: like a lot like those big laundry buckets. They would
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: take them and they would just you'd sit in your locker.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: They dedicate 15, 20 minutes to it. And then our
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: equipment manager would push that the bucket into the room
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: and then you'd pass the ball like an assembly line
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: and then put it back in the bucket and everybody
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: would sign it. And there'd be, you know, 50 balls
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: in there.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: And like, right.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: If you need one for your charity, for an auction
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: or whatever, you know, come check one out basically like
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: the library, like sign your name. You got one. Then
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: here's your ball. It's actually pretty efficient.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: That is efficient.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: And that way everybody kind of gets one or two
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: or whatever, and everybody signs it. You don't have to, hey, Gates,
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: can you hit that ball for me over there? Which
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: is awkward. Even if it's your boy.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: No opportunities there.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Hey, Mr. LT, sir, can you please send that ball
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: over there?
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: Mr.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: LT, sir.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: L-train. No, don't do that. Big dog.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Big dog.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: What up, big dog?
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Need to sign.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Who's it for?
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: It's for me.
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: You should make it out to me.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just make it out to me.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: I probably should have done something like that.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, seriously. A lot of these guys know.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: I think I saw something like Aaron Rodgers was drafted
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: in 20, like a day, 2005. And I think they're
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: playing the Bucs this weekend, I believe. And Jalen Daniels
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: was born like on the same date or something like that,
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: or close to the same date. 2003 or something like that.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: So he was like two years old when Aaron was drafted.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Are you old, bro? He's so old, dude.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: You ever seen the videos? He's older than us.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: It was when Brady was with the Bucs. So like,
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: I mean, he's 44 at this point. A guy on
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: the opposing team shakes his head. He goes, my daddy
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: used to catch passes from you. Tom's like, great.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Cool, man. Don't remember him. I had so many.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: I feel like Tom's pretty good in situations like that.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I bet he is.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: I bet he's real good. There's some that would be.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Kind of turds.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Not him. The list of turds would be Jay Cutler.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Top five turds.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Jay Cutler.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Start a list. Start a list. Top five turds.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I gave you number one.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: That's number one already? Jay? Yeah.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Bad body language Jay?
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: I can fix him.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: You can fix him. You can fix him.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: You can mold him. You can, uh, you can write
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: his wrongs.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: Kristen Cavallari couldn't, but.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Rip some heaters with him.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: God does love a heater.
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Oh, who else would be on there? That would be
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: a fun list to make. Who, like, we should do
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: a top five turds who we think are turds. We
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: have no clue. We've never met them, but just based
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: on their face.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Face.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Face and how they talk to.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Between the hashes, you know.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be fun.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I like that. Um, Before we take our first break,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I got a big, big, big announcement.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: I got a Chris Marla type announcement to make.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, well, that means it's not going to be underwhelming.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: I'm on the edge of my seat right now.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: I have a relationship status update.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: Okay, with George?
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: My relationship right now is pretty complicated.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Oof.
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: I hate to see it.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Me and George Paul Thomas.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: You'll hide it out?
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: You make a couple mistakes, fine. But you embarrass me
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: in front of my friends one too many times with
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: these bad slides on these quarterback rankings. I have to
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: start looking around. I got to start playing the field
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: a little bit.
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: Did you go to Claude?
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Last night, 9.34 p.m., downloaded Claude.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: I can't believe you're cheating on George right now. It's
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: another AI.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, don't give me a reason to. You know
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: what I mean?
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: That's fair.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Don't give me a reason to step on out on you.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Multiple reasons.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: So, I mean, if we were classifying my relationship status
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: right now with artificial intelligence.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: It would be complicated.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: It's very complicated.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: We are going to take Claude out on a date.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: All right. You're not switching right now on Facebook to Claude.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Not completely switching. No, we're not. What I'm saying is
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: I'm not exclusive.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: I got you.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: I'm not exclusive.
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: We'll see how this morning dates.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: I'm going to test some waters. I'm available. But it's complicated.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: This is like The Bachelor, but for AIs.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: What a society we live in. I went and signed
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: up for Claude. And guess what? I signed up for
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: the pro.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: You paid for Claude?
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: I didn't pay for the year, though. Guess what? We're
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: going month to month.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: I like that.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Nothing long term. Nothing long term.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Two AI services can't have money. Jeez.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Well, guess what?
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: I told you.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: George Paul Thomas. So in the hole right now.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Huh?
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: Foxhole Entertainment is so in the hole right now.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: But you embarrassed me in front of my friends one
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: too many times, George Paul Thomas.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I got upset with you. So I'm going on a
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: date today, this morning, from 7 to 10.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: During the QB rankings?
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: During the QB rankings. Matt's over here.
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: Just balancing two different men on a Thursday morning.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Artificial peoples.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: I guess commitment means nothing these days.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you something? Yeah.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: You already are.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: I loaded in my QB rankings from last week into Claude.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: First thing it said. I've noticed some mistakes.
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: Ooh. I see some toxic traits. Claude's getting spicy.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: First one.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I see some mistakes. First one, Kirk Cousins doesn't play
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: for the Vikings anymore.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Dang.
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: I'm liking this Claude guy. You need to take this
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: Claude guy home, meet the parents.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: Weird that they're both men names.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Anyways.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Anyways.
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You're balancing two different minutes
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: on a Thursday for some random.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Fairness.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: I did give George Paul Thomas his name.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: You did.
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: It's true.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Still doesn't change the fact.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: I was like, Matt's choosing.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: All right. Now I get why your eyes are puffy.
• 16:54

  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back at OTB here on this Thursday morning.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Getting ready for the weekend, LSU going to be hosting
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Mississippi State. The New Orleans Saints traveling to take on
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: the New York football giants. Matt, do you know why
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: they call them the New York football giants? Um.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: The New York football giants. That's pretty obvious.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean... Yeah, but do you know why they
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: say it? Because they don't say the New Orleans football saints.
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: Um.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: I'm assuming there was maybe another team in New York
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: called the Giants at a certain point.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Which one would that be?
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: The baseball team?
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Who now plays in? San Francisco. We got you there, buddy.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Bro, that was easy.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you said it was such confidence. San Francisco? Yeah,
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: that's why they call them that. Yeah, they were the
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: New York Giants and now the San Francisco Giants.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: They're the New York baseball Giants.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Probably. I'm sure that's what they called them.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: I just thought at some point somebody said it at
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: some point on the TV broadcast, and it just caught on.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: I didn't know the Giants played in New York.
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: In fairness to you, you would think that moniker would
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: go away. They haven't been in New York in.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: A long time. When it was coined, was it more
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: like New York football Giants?
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Probably.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: It might be the one that you default to.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: Like the.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: You dirty rat.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: You're my brother.
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: We have Curly.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: No doubt Curly was playing.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Looks like these boys getting into a Donnybrook idea.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Curly Magnum around the pass. That's what the Saints got
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: this weekend.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: They got their third quarterback? No, they do not. Gail
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: Benson's comments yesterday obviously carry a lot of weight. Yeah.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: And a lot's been made of what she said. And
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: I think the Mickey Loomis portion of it is probably
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: the thing that people are not like they're noticing it.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: They're harping on it. They're talking about it because like,
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: we just don't ever really hear Mickey Loomis his name.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: said in a negative light because we all talk about it. Like,
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: he's got such standing with the franchise. He's been there
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: for over 20 years as a general manager. And I
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: think that's the thing that people are like, oh, man, yeah,
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: that means something.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been what's seemingly, and I think what's frustrated
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: Saints fans for, you know, at times, I mean, maybe
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: not 100% of the time, all the time, every single year, but, like,
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: at times when the team hasn't done well or there's
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: been a bad draft or a bad signing or whatever
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: it is, I think that's probably what frustrated fans a
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: lot is that he, that somebody, and it's not just
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: like him personally, but like that somebody in the organization
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: that's making decisions is untouchable. What has felt like untouchable.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: So, right.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: This, these statements that come from Gail Benson certainly seem
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: like she should, like they, they are pointed towards everybody,
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: but I think like in the back of everybody's mind,
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: it's like, man, I hope she's talking to everybody. I
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: hope that, It's not just like talking to some people
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: because there's some people that are untouchable. Like you want
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: to hold everybody that works for you. That has a
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: hand in the success of a team, a team that
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: the city loves. Um, you want everybody to be held
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: accountable and you want everybody to be held to the
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: same standard.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: And that's what you have to do as a leader.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Life isn't fair. There's some people that might, you know,
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: get a couple more passes. There's some people that might, um,
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: get a little bit longer leash because of, you know,
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: maybe success they've had in the past or maybe a
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: relationship or whatever that is. And we get that life's
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: not always fair, but at some point as a leader,
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: you have to hold everybody to the same standard.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: And no matter how much success that you have had, that,
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: you know, that resets.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: What's it been 20 years?
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: It resets.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: How long has it been the gym?
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Was it? Oh, was it? Early 2000s. I mean, it's
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: been over 20 years.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: Who's the longest tenured GM to ever be a GM?
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Not currently.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, you got a new friend that you could technically.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Take this baby for.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: A test drive?
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: So, you know, I don't know what that year is
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: as far as, like, how long it takes to reset. Like,
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: if a coach wins a Super Bowl, okay, how long
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: does that buy you? If a GM wins a Super Bowl,
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: how long does that buy you? If a GM hits
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: on a draft class, how long does that buy you?
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: It's different within every single organization, but as we mentioned
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: yesterday in Gail Benson's comments, they haven't made the playoffs
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: since 2020. They haven't made the playoffs since Drew Brees
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: and Sean Payton haven't been there. Those are things that
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: the ownership has noticed, but they're really starting to talk
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: out loud and make it known that they've noticed.
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: You guys ready for this? Mickey Loomis became GM of
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: the Saints May of 2002.
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: Whoa.
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: Whoa.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Whoa.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: That was the same month. Wait a minute. May of 2002.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: I was a junior in high school. Huh. That was
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: a year before my prom.
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: So, if you take out Jerry Jones and Mike Brown...
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: Who were de facto GMs and owners.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: Like Jerry's the longest tenured GM. He's done it since 89,
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: like when he bought the team. Mike Brown, same thing.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: Since 91, it is Mickey Loomis.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. There's no doubt about it. And, I mean,
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: to the point, a lot of people are like, I mean,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Mickey feels like the owner. That's always been said. And look,
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: I've said it, we've all said it. Everybody that's covered
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: the Saints kind of talks about it. But again, I
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: think it's big when the owner says a name. And
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: I know Nick Underhill has covered this too, and that's
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: the only team that he covers. And I was watching
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: something he did last night too, and that's kind of
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: what he was harping on. He's like, we've had a
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: lot of conversations, and we've never really heard his name
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: said in a negative light or called out or put
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: on notice a little bit.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: So he's never been held to the same standard. I'm
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: not saying that if– Well, I.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: Think because they just– I mean, Matt, they had no success.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: They had one playoff– victory with a coach not named
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Sean Payton, like we talked about yesterday. And when Mickey
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: takes over, I think they had won in the franchise history.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: And so then you have this success, certainly better than
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: you ever had, and you win a Super Bowl. Now,
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: that Super Bowl was 17 years ago. It's been a minute.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: But also you had this success that New Orleans has
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: never had that, not even close. I mean, like the
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Dome Patrol was so much fun, but they never won
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: a playoff game. Aaron Brooks' era was fun. They won
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: one playoff game. You were like, oh, my God, this
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: is incredible. You can play football after the regular season?
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Didn't know that was possible. And so when you have that,
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: we talk about building up equity. Well, they built up
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: so much, and now it's finally running out five and
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: a half years into not making the postseason.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: Again, everybody's got to be held to the same standards.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: And some people might get more time to reach that standard.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: May 12, 2002. That's a long time. That's pretty long.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: Hey, you want to take this baby for a test
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: drive real quick?
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: What is it, Claude?
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's just take Claude for a little test drive.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: It's funny, you know, because Bayou Automotive, bayouautomotive.com, it's right here.

• 27:54
  Speaker 3: for a test drive.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: Let's do tickets for chess. So I went back to 1960.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: I said, what's the longest, what GMs have had the
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: longest tenure in NFL history, dating back to 1960. And,
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: of course, like Taylor said, the three longest are owners,
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: Al Davis, 1963 to 2011, Jerry Jones, 1989 to present,
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: Mike Brown still since 1991. But among the non-owners, Mickey Loomis,
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: I think four years ago, passed Kevin Colbert. He was
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: with the Steelers since 2000, stepped down after 22 years.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: So he was there, but multiple Super Bowls, kind of
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: the same deal, like had a lot of success and
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: kind of, hmm, towards the end. Non-owner of GMs, Tex Schramm, Cowboys,
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: when the Cowboys were founded all the way until Jones
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: bought them in 89.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: So how about that? The Cowboys have had two GMs
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: in the history.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: Like Tex Schramm, not even technically the longest Cowboys. It's
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: in your GM.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: Technically, yep. And so he's at 28. He was at
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: 29 years. He was the GM from the founding of
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys all the way until Jerry Jones bought it.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: And number two on the list for non-owners, Mickey Loomis. Oh,
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: Mickey could catch him, dude.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: But should he?
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: That's the question.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: He should not.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know. They better flip the script. Because, and look,
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Mickey's done great things. Like, I don't want this to
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: be an all like, oh, what are we doing?
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: It's easy to like, hey, people love to hate just
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: because of.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, look, there's been a lot of decisions that he's
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: been the person to make the decision that has turned
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: into a winning culture for the Saints in that window
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: of that 15-year, 16-year run. Some of those draft classes,
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: we still talk about them and how many players they
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: got and how many ended up being all pros. But
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: when you don't make the playoffs in five years, going
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: into what looks like going to be a sixth year,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: and then we went over the draft class a couple
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: times over the last couple of weeks, and basically, right now,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: none of them are on the field. I mean, your
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: first-round pick, no. Your second-round pick, a little bit, some.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: and he was a healthy scratch two weeks ago, we
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: can go down the list. And Oscar Delp's probably the
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: one that plays the most, and he's one of your
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: lowest rated players on offense. I was going to say,
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: not well. Yeah, we could go down the list. You
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: know how it is. When that starts to happen, Matt,
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: and your draft classes don't start to produce, that's when
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: a GM starts to get a little bit of the
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: conversation going. And then you sign a free agent running
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: back to a big deal, and he's been hurt, but
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: it hasn't been effective. All those things start to pile up.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Well, I know the Saints fan base, the Saints organization,
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: feels like the Packers did in the tenure where Aaron
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Rodgers was there. You got one Super Bowl with a
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: really good head coach-quarterback combination, but you feel like that
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: time was a little bit of a disappointment because you
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: never got the second one. So they never surrounded... Aaron
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: had some good teams, just lost in some.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Same with the Saints. So I can feel for.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: The history of the saints in that timeframe with drew breeze,
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: because like you only, you got.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: One, which was amazing.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: But it is kind of a disappointment because you never
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: got another one during that time.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: And it was a long tenure. So you had all
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: this time. Saints were founded in 1966.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: And just like you said yesterday, which was shocking to me,
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: they've won one playoff game as a saints organization without
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: Sean Payton as a head coach. And now he's had
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: two hires.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: And that was in the early 2000s, Matt. So it
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: took like a minute. It took some time to get
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: that one postseason victory.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: So, you know, I don't know. Everything's got a time
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: limit on it. And I just hope, based on Gail's words,
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: that at some point you've got to hold everybody to
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: the same standard.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: All right. Let's take a break. More OTB when we

• 33:20
  Speaker 8: world turns blue.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Tigers turn talkers. This is Off the Bench.
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: Run down bar.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Across the railroad track.
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: I got a table for two.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Way in the back.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: Where I sit alone.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: And think of losing you.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Chats with Brooks and Dunn. Came to the Cajun Dome
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: last week. Old Huddy Paul was there. Went over to
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: Lafayette on a school night.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: It's like, it's Brooks and Dunn. Oh, yeah, sure. I mean.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: What was his takeaway?
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, he loves it. He loves Brooks and Dunn. Yeah,
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: he's my 90s country listener.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Were they boot scooting around that stage a little bit?
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: He didn't say.
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: No.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: No.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: I saw him a couple years ago.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: Kicks does a little bit. Still, Ronnie's more.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: He said Ronnie took a couple of vocal breaks. They
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: made it known, like, hey, Ronnie's going to sit this
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: one out. Kicks got it. Oh, dude.
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: Kicks, like, he still performs. We saw him a few
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: years ago in Shreveport.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: He's from Shreveport. More like boot scootering around the stage
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: a little bit.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Ronnie.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: No, I saw them two years ago, and it was
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: kind of the same deal, but they.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Were absolutely electric.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: I didn't introduce, but the kids don't really love it
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: when we're in the car and I play my music.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They want to play their music.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: You know, their eight songs. We played Brooks and Dunn.
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: They didn't love it, but they didn't complain.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: Feels like a small victory.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: That was a big win. That was a big one.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: That was a big one.
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: I love this part. Hit me with the steel guitar.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: That's good stuff.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: All right. We just had a Saints conversation. Not really
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: about the game. We'll get there. More about where the
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: organization is right now. It is going to be very
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: interesting to see what they do. If Nick says something
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: because he is so tied in, when he says something like, hey,
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: if they go 0-2, I don't know. My antennas go up,
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, hmm, okay. Let's pay attention to that. Now,
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: they are a favorite on the road, y'all. Against a
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: 3-1-1 football team.
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: People aren't respecting the fact that Jameis is in there.
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: They're expecting him to fall back.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: That's fine, but say what you want about Jameis. We're
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: not talking about Cooper Rush here. We're not talking about
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Jake Browning here. I understand the Jameis experience. We've been
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: through it. I get it. He was the number one
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: overall pick.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: In your division.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: He has a season with 30 touchdown passes. I mean, so, look,
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: you can get 500 yards from Jameis this weekend. You
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: can get five. You said that yesterday, Matt. For sure.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: We get it. But it seems to be a favorite
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: on the road against a three-win football team. What are
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: they seeing that we're not seeing right now?
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: They probably know the running game is probably just a
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: sleeping giant.
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: They're one play away.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: One play. At least one block here. One right mic
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: declaration there.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: They would just declare the mic right.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. They just got to get their mic declarations better.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: Get their counts better. Yeah, no, that doesn't make any
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: sense to me. But Vegas does some weird things sometimes.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: I know. And this one, because I'm thinking, I know
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: where the Giants are strong.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: People are just going to be hammering the Giants.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: No doubt.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Including your boy.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: It's stinky, but some people like stinky cheese.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: For me, my mind goes, okay, well, they're just going
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: to try to run Cam Scadaboo as much as they
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: can and then ask Jameis to make eight throws in
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: tight windows.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: Because the Saints right now are actually better against the
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: pass than you probably realize. they're top 10 in the
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: NFL defensively against the pass, where they struggle against the run,
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: and they do give up explosives. Like, what they give
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: up in the pass game compared to what they give
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: up points per game, it doesn't match up. They're giving
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: up a lot of running yards, and they're giving up
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: explosives in the pass game. So it's not necessarily they're just, like,
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: getting torched for 330, but they're getting hit with the
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: big explosive plays that are scoring points. And that's one
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: of the things that they really have struggled with. And
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: so for the Giants, they're going to think, okay, well,
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: it's going to be a Cam Scadaboo game. Let's try
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: to shorten this game. Let's run him. They haven't been
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: grading and stopping the run. And then, hey, Jameis, heavy
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: play action. We're going to ask you to make eight throws, right,
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: eight throws to Malik Nabors, to Isaiah Likely, that are
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: going to win the game. He's going to throw it
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: more than eight times, but I'm talking about the eight
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: throws that decide the game.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: Was Isaiah Likely, was he on the injury report? I
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: know he went out of the game last week when
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: I was watching.
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's been bagged up for a few weeks, but
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: he's expected to play.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: He had 11, right? He had 11 catches. You ain't
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: got nobody that can cover him. It's crazy to say.
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: It's crazy to hear the Saints top 10 in the
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: NFL at any big category like that because of the
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: record one and four and to say, wow, we've had
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: the top 10.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: Pass defense.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: And until this past week, we've had a top pass
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: offense in the... That's exactly where it is.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: In the league?
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: Results certainly didn't feel that way. It dropped to 11
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: after this last week. It certainly doesn't feel that way.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: It doesn't feel like they're 11th in any category. Passing
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: leading up to this past game just because you've kind
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: of had to throw it and Tyler's been You know,
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: had been very, very good. But I don't think Tyler
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: Shook's hands healing in a week.
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: No.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: So they've given up, as I mentioned earlier, 212 through
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: the air. They give up 149 on the ground. That
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: number shouldn't be as close to each other as it is.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: They give up 30 points per game. That's 31st in
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: the NFL.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Say that one more time.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, 30. 30 points per game, 31st in the NFL.
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: True.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: That ain't good, bro.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: Again, kind of like going back to it, typically when
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: you're around the top 10 in past defense in the NFL,
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: you don't see a number like that with points. They're
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: giving up so many explosives on defense.
• 40:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: And this team and the New York Giants, if they
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: play it right, they've got a recipe to attack exactly
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: what we're talking about.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: And that's what Jameis is good at is explosive plays.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: Like now you can, again, what Jameis Winston playing, you
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: never know what you're going to get. But if there
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: is something he's good at doing, he's going out there
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: and throwing for 300 plus with a bunch of explosive
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: plays because he's going to chunk it.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: He's going to give you opportunities.
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: Like if you can catch him and you and your
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: defense plays and you can get him in one of
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: those games as one of the bad Jameis games, then
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: you can have a day. You can have three picks.
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: And a fumble.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: Maybe two.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: All right. New Orleans Saints. A favorite right now on
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: the road against the New York football Giants. What's that
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: line again? One and a half. Saints minus one and
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: a half.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Money line.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: Probably plus one and five. Oh, okay. He's going to
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: try to put that in his college pontoon parlay. All right,
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: we'll take a break. More OTB when we come back.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Off the bench.
• 41:57

• 43:37
  Speaker 8: straight to keep the night. She'll start thinking about him.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in, OTV. Inside the chat, who's
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: possibly worse at giving up points than the Saints, the Cardinals?
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: The Cardinals give up 32.4. The Saints give up 30.2.
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: It's close, though.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Tight race.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: It doesn't make me feel any better. Man, it's going
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: to be a very important stretch. Very important stretch. And
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: it feels like the Saints really need to get this
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: one on Sunday. The Steelers are a tricky team. The
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: Steelers can show up, and they got enough Jimmys and
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: Joes that you go over there to Paris and you're
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: not prepared. They're tough, man. They'll punch you right in
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: the face.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: The Steelers?
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, Aaron ain't losing in Paris. I'm just sitting
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: there thinking about somebody trying to block Cam Hayward. That
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: guy's still a freak. We played against him in college,
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: and he's still playing like a freak.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: That Watt fella.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: He's good, but. Cam in the interior, that makes me nervous.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: That old interior pressure. Ain't a whole lot of places
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: you can go.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Just from watching the two play, I would take the
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Steelers in that matchup right now.
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: So I think that's why this one's such a point
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: of emphasis. You got to find a way to get
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: this one on the road. And look, you're a favorite. Again,
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: we don't know why you are. We have no idea.
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: But you got to go and you have to get
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: this one because... You just don't know. When you go
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: long travel like that, too, crazy things can happen, we know,
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: but handling that, man. Injury report, Caden Ellis did not
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: participate yesterday. We'll see if Caden Ellis does anything today.
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: AK was limited in practice, no surprise there. Alave didn't
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: practice on Wednesday, but it was due to illness, so
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: I'm sure he'll be back for the weekend. So you've
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: got to get as many guys back as possible today.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: for this game. Massive, massive game for the Saints. If
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: they lose this one, it is going to continue to
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: roll downhill, and I don't know where it ends. All right,
