  Speaker 1: Got to be, right?
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Jake.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: What?
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: You might want to be sitting down, which you are.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: The Saints have a primetime game.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: A primetime game?
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Monday night football.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: No way. This is a big weekend for the NFC South.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: No way. It is. Two primetime games? Wow. Wow. Wow.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Two weeks in a row for the Saints. No noon pickle.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Not that big of a deal, although it is a
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: huge deal.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: People are catching on.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: New Orleans Saints hosting the Atlanta Falcons. It's going to
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: be in the Superdome. Saints one and a half point favorite.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: That line's kind of moved around a little bit, but
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: it is going to be the 20th anniversary of the
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Saints' return to the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina. Same night,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: same team that they're going to be playing. A Monday
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: night football game against the Atlanta Falcons, their bitter rival.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: The NFC South....
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Did have a moment last night.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they did.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: The old Carolina Panthers went out there. And Bryce Young
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: is dealing right now. And they put it on the
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Detroit Lions. So now they're 2-2. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: had to start an undrafted free agent rookie in Jalen Daniels.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: And so they're going for it.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: How about all the people that wanted Kelvin Shepard here?
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: A Detroit Lions defense looks awful.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Kelvin ain't going to last after this year. I just
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: don't see it. Well, we're a play away.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: He's not in good guy situations. They've been decimated with
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: injury and DB. They had one guy that had to
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: get released from the team for off the field stuff.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Their other two starting DBs are still out. They're trying
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: to piece it together with duct tape and super glue.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know if he'll get fired, but it looks bad.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he'll get fired either, but coordinators,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to y'all's point, typically... Right, wrong, or indifferent, they go first,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: but he'll bounce back.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: Well, and then to your point about the injury, he's
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: like down the stretch. That's what caused him to collapse
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: offensively and defensively, but it was bad at the end
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: of last year, and then again this year as well.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just, I don't know. When you run into
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a Bryce Young freight train. On Sunday night. He was
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the second leading passer in the NFL. I know. He's
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: playing incredible.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Playing his little ass off.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: They should have sat before the game. It was incredible.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: He looks tiny in the huddle.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: He's so little.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: It was Lions, Panthers, both top five offenses in terms
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: of points per game and both bottom five defenses.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Ted McMillan.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I was going to say Ted or old McMillan was.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Anyways, all right.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: We'll get to the Panthers. We'll get to all of that.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: But tonight, right now, it's about the New Orleans Saints.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: They have a chance to. Tie those Carolina Panthers for
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the lead in the NFC South. This line, again, it
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: started around three for the Saints. It's gone down to
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: a point and a half. So a little bit of
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: movement there. But this is a great opportunity for the Saints.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: And it was a look. It was a moment that
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I think all of us remember 20 years ago. It
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: was a moment that I think a lot of people
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: will never forget. Watching it live, being there live, wherever
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: you were, it was a game that you felt it
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: throughout the entire state. It meant so much to see
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: them back in the Superdome. We didn't know if they'd
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: ever be back in the Superdome. We didn't know if
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: they'd move to San Antonio. They were playing their games there.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, Matt, you remember they played the Dolphins in
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Tiger Stadium, and a lot of us went after our
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: workout on Sunday and watching them play there.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: We didn't really know what would. You went? Yeah. You
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: didn't go? That was Saban's first game. I remember that
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: very vividly. I didn't know anybody went. No, a bunch
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: of us did.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Because we went in and then we had to leave
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: to go work out, do the stretch and stride, as
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Coach Moffitt called it. And then they were like, you
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: can't come back in here. We're like, yeah, but can we?
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: And they let us back in. So a bunch of
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: us went to the game. Sorry, maybe you didn't get
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the invite.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: It's probably sleeping.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: You were left out the group chat?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: It was a noon game, wasn't it?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: It wasn't group chats back then.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Was it a noon game? Yeah.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. No group chats back then. Hell, there
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: was barely text.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Messages back then. You just walked upstairs and knocked on
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: my door. That's fair. That's fair. Oh, I was off camera.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Never mind.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Need a vintage AK game.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you would have been off camera. Me too. Yeah,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: you're right. So.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: A lot can be on the table tonight, even though
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: it is early in the season. Again, it's the Falcons,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: so we all know that means something already. But just
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: where the division's at right now, and it feels like
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Tampa Bay's already left behind. So if you can get
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: a game on the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina, their offense doesn't
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: look like it's going anywhere.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Now, defensively, they've got a lot of issues.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: But if you can get ahead tonight, if you can
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: go ahead, get a victory, tie them up, you know, again,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: it's four weeks in, I understand that, but just with
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the way that the division's kind of tracking right now,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: this feels like a very, very big game for the
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: saints on a big stage and a big stage for
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: guys like Tyler Shuck, who the national media, they still
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: call him show sometimes like he can go out there
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: and he can show them what we already know about it.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: So like going into this week, the two top passers
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: in the NFL, at least from a yardage standpoint, we're
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: in the NFC South Bryce Young and Tyler Shuck. Like if,
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: So this gives you a unique opportunity. Like we, we
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: always complain and we say about like the new own sense.
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: You don't get the primetime games. This is a big
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: opportunity for the saints to go and showcase how good
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: of a team they actually are for Tyler Shuck to
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: showcase his skills on primetime and to hopefully get more
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: in the future. It's exciting when there's young quarterbacks, when
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: there's good quarterback play, especially within a division. Like if
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: you can hold serve here with the Panthers doing what
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: they did last night and like, look, Let's take a
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: look at what the Saints have done already this year
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: on their schedule. Yes, they're 1-2 going into this, but guys,
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: the Raiders are really good. They went toe-to-toe and nearly
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: beat the Chiefs yesterday, who were undefeated, and Patrick Mahomes
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: is playing vintage Patrick Mahomes. They are a good football team.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: What we watched in the Dome last week with the
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: Saints and the Raiders, that was two good football teams
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: playing against each other. So let's not get it twisted. Yeah,
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: it's one and two, but look at that one and two.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: And you let that one with the Raiders get away
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: from you in the fourth quarter. So I don't know
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: why the line would have started and gone towards the Falcons.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: But I'd grab it because I think the Saints are
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: in a really good position. Chris Olave playing as good
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: as any receiver in the NFL right now. Um, and
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: so like, but this is a big opportunity if they
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: can go do what they've done. If Tyler Shuck can
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: play like he has been all year, make plays, they're
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: in a good position for the NFC South to be
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: kind of a sexy little, little division.
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: I just think it's really funny that the Panthers are,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I know we.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: We didn't even, we kind of just washed over the,
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: even though they won the division last year, like we
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: kind of glossed.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Over them because we were like, well, it's going to
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: be the saints of the bucks.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: And then the Bucs are just, like, not good.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Like, straight at.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, straight buns, just not good at all.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: The biggest buns you've ever seen. That era is coming
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: to an end in Tampa. Because remember, last year they
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: looked so good, had all the injuries, and, you know,
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: Bowles and everybody else was like, oh, once we get
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: our offensive line straight, we're good. They've had their start
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: in five the entire year in their own four. That
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: defense is still bad.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Missing the receivers, the secondary receivers behind Igbuka. Baker Mayfield
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: being out. Look at the receivers the Panthers are missing.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: No, no.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: They're missing like three of their top four. Tyler Rowe
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: was the best of that group.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: For sure. But they're still missing.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, they don't have Xavier Leggett.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: I mean, who's going to stretch for 1,000 yards? Maybe
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: that's why they're playing well.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Okay. I'll relax.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Wait, back to this.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Xavier, I know you're listening. I was like, oh. I
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: was like, Mechie? And Memphis and the Panthers. And he goes, Dad,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: who's John? I was like.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Well, actually, he's a good player. I mean, he had leukemia.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: He had to overcome a lot, but he was a
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: hell of a college football player.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he had some moments in Houston. He was okay.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: He had some moments. But he was on the field. Hey,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I got bad news for you. Oh. It's not bad
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: news for anybody except for me.
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: You know, I have that really good Bryce Young card.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay.
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: You didn't accept my dollar offer. So I've had it
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: on the market for a while. It's still on the market,
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: or it was. I was like, let me go check,
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: because I was like, I was starting to get a
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: lot of offers on it.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, no, I'm holding. He's playing too good.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: The game started last night, and he started popping off
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: completing a few passes.
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: I was like, let me go do a proof of
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: life check on this card upstairs because we've been moving around.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I got a lot of things in boxes. It wasn't there.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I was talking to Huck about it. He was like, yeah, Dad,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: you sold that at the last card show. I was like, oh.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: No.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't take it off eBay either.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Dang.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: I was like, oh. I didn't sell it cheap. It
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: was market value before the season, but.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Now it's probably not.
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: Still.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: You sold it? Sold it. Why?
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: It's brutal.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Lost hope. And forgot. You held that forever. I held
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: that forever.
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: But I got a, it was like the preseason, because
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: there's always a preseason bump for everything.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: I sold it like a week before the season. That
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: last card show we did, we signed a little bit.
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: I went and I sold it right before then, because
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: it was like a week before the first NFL game.
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: So there's always a preseason bump. And of course, on
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: this show, we were not talking very good about the Panthers.
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: I didn't know he was going to be playing at
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: an MVP level.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Dang. And you swore you were holding it, too.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I swear.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Did you get better offers on eBay than you did
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: on the card.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Show? After fees and stuff, no. True.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: But for what it's worth now, that play is not
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: going anywhere. What he's put on the field, that's not lucky.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: It's not going anywhere. That offense is doing a really
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: nice job. It would have been worth what I was
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: asking for it on eBay.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: All right. It's not what I got, though. Yeah.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to make you feel better, but I'm like.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: It was like one of those things. I was like, okay,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: it's not in that box. It's probably in this other box.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I looked at that box. It's not there. I was like,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: it's probably in this other box. I looked at that box,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, starting to get a little sweaty, like
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: a little panicky. And I'm like, where is it? I
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: was like, did it get lost in the move? Like,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: what's happening? Huck's like, no, Dad, you sold that.
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: Hmm.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, can't have money when you don't even remember
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: selling that one.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: It was a long day. Yeah. That's a big boy.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I've sold some big ones. So what?
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying, can't have it.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Uh, I don't know much about the Falcons cause I
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: haven't really paid attention. I know their ass, but I
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: don't know.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: It looked a lot better last week.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Like, I don't know much else, but I will say
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: I need the saints to figure the run game out.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I know ETN's out.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: We need a vintage AK game.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: We do. We do.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Um, I've got a couple points.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Kendrae can play a quarter. Man. He can play a quarter.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I feel about him like I feel about Marler right now.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a fire quarter, though.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: So, not great. Okay.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I've got a couple points, a little bullet points about
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: the Falcons Saints, and we can kind of hit those,
• 12:36

  Speaker 6: house that you just purchased and you don't know like
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: kind of the age of the roof, like what condition
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: is it, get them to come out to your house.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: They'll take a look. They'll do it for free. They'll
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: take a look and they'll tell you exactly what needs
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: to be done. Maybe it's a repair. Maybe it's a repair.
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: Maybe it's a full replacement. Maybe it's nothing. Pelican Roof,
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: where everybody needs a roof.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Looking around the house.
• 14:17
  Speaker 9: All right, welcome.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Back in OTB here live from the Raising Cane Studio.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: What a match we've got our friends over at Pala.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Big industrial projects demand the right experience, the right people,
• 14:42

• 14:46
  Speaker 2: has delivered since 1973. So from turnkey industrial construction and
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: maintenance to above-ground storage tanks, pressure vessels, fabrication, and structural,
• 14:56

• 14:59
  Speaker 2: projects across the Gulf Coast. Always remember, they are employee-owned, relationship-driven,

• 15:08
  Speaker 2: what Pala can construct for you at palagroup.com.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: P-A-L-A group dot com. Pala, pala, pala. We'll see you today.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: All right, a couple things for the Saints and Falcons.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: If we're looking at it from the aspect of both
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: teams for Atlanta, can they carry over the momentum that
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: they had in their win against Green Bay? The Falcons
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: looked completely different, certainly on offense, in their 35-14 victory
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: win at Green Bay, producing nearly 500 yards after scoring
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: only 16 total points in their first two games. Obviously
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: for the Saints, another bullet point here. B. John Robinson
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: is priority number one. He's coming off 194 rushing yards
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: and two touchdowns. New Orleans has to control the edges.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: They kind of tackle, get number seven on the ground,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: and keep Atlanta in third and long and try to
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: put that pressure on, well, you guessed it, Michael Penix Jr.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Now he does change, I think we all agree, the
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: ceiling for this team. From where they were with Tua Tungvaluwa,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Cooper Rush, Jack Strand, whoever it was, they don't have
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: the ceiling that a Michael Penix Jr.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Has.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: He, in his season debut, looked really good. 18 of 25,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: 256 yards, was not sacked either. That's another big one. Now,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Green Bay's rush isn't great, but did not get sacked
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: in that one. After that interception that he threw early,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: he played really well. The thing for the Saints that
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: I think we're all going to be looking for is
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Tyler Shuck against the Atlanta secondary. Shuck, as we know,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: is thrown for 917 yards, eight touchdowns through three games.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Chris Alave already has 375 receiving yards.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: A.J. Terrell unavailable.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: And so that is going to be a matchup that
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: is going to be in favor of the New Orleans Saints.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: As we've talked about already, both teams sitting at one
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: and two. This is the Saints divisional opener. Atlanta swept
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: New Orleans last season, and the Saints can tie the
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: all-time regular season series at 57-57. And as we've mentioned, obviously,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: with it being the 20th anniversary celebration of the Dome coming,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: where Steve Gleason blocked the punt, everybody went wild. An
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: incredible night in the Bayou State. This one carries a
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: lot of weight. This one does, and the Falcons, this
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: is like, what is this, their second game? Road game
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: in a row, at least, since they played in Lambeau
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: last week. But this week, they are walking into a
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: fever pitch.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: A hornet's nest. A hornet's nest.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: The Dome is going to be absolutely insane tonight. I
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: expect the Monday Night Football team, like the lead-up, what's
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: the new, the Monday Night Countdown show, I expect everything
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: to be absolute cinema this evening. I think it's going
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: to be great. I'm sure there's a lot of different
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: things planned for the fans that are there, for the
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: TV viewers. And I'm excited to just kind of put
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: it on at like 5, 5.30 this evening at the
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: house and just.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Kind of watch the whole build-up to everything. And the
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Dome's going to be absolutely rocking. I kind of wish
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I was at the Dome tonight.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: It's going to be one of those scenes that it's
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: going to be remembered. And I expect for... and the
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: coaching staff and that team to reciprocate that. I expect
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: the Saints to play a badass game tonight. And yes,
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: the Falcons, like I'm glad they showed up. I'm glad
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: Pennix is, I'm kind of a fan of Pennix. Like
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: I was a fan of his in college and I
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: think that he can be good and he opens up
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: their offense. I don't think it's going to matter tonight.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they did. They beat the Packers. The Packers are bad.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Packers are not a good football team.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: The product that the Saints have put on the field
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: every week this year overshadows what the Falcons have put
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: on the field this year. Now, of course it's the
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: NFL that doesn't necessarily matter, but I think it matters
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: tonight because the dome is going to be rocking.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I think Tyler Shuck's going to go off. Um, allow
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: me to introduce myself, Tyler Shuck. Yeah.
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: The whole country is going to be bucking after tonight. Um,
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: I'm excited about the game. Can't wait to watch. I
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: will be locked in to the pregame, the buildup, the
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: lead up, um, Very excited for it.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: And like, look at me. Look how far I've come
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: in the Saints fandom.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: I'm so proud.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: I didn't even like, I watched the buildup to the
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: 20 years ago. We were in college when this happened.
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: It's not one of the, like, I wasn't like, I
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: was kind of like a Saints hater at the time
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: because it was fun to go back and forth with
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: all my Louisiana guys.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was one of them.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: I was a Saints fan growing up.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: And I wasn't, and that's okay. But now I am.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Not a big deal. And it's organic. And it's real.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: You did play for them, so you can claim them.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: That wasn't the reason.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: I think also, aside from having veterans like Cam Jordan
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: and Alvin Kamara who understand the fan base and the moment,
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: you also have Tyler Shuck who feels like he's very
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: much embraced New Orleans and the.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Saints fan base, and he understands how big the moment
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: is too. So, I don't know. I feel good about it.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: I feel good about the game. I mean, the Falcons,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: they're pretty bad.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I don't feel good about B. John. I don't feel
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: great about him. Oh, no.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: Ross actually put on Louisiana Sports Network last week, broke
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: down how great Bijan is, and we know how great
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: Bijan is. Good news is you've already played Jameer Gibbs,
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: Derrick Henry, Ashton Gentry. Week one, Gibbs torched you 29 carries,
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: 156 yards, two touchdowns.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: He's awesome.
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: Next week, Derrick Henry, 16 carries for 68 yards. Then
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: Ashton Gentry, week three, 19 carries for 56 yards.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: You've actually gotten better. Against the run every single week.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Three different, way different running backs. For sure. And Bijan
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: is compared more to Gibbs.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: But you've also been better in the passing game against
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: the running backs as well. Now, again, to your point,
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: different types of running backs. But if you want to say,
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: face it, a big-name running back, something to hang your
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: hat on, it went from 5.4 per carry to 4.2
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: to 2.9 last week.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: If trends continue, potentially something to watch, can the Saints
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: actually slow that down a little bit?
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: One thing that's not good for the Saints, and talking
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: about the other team's rushing attack, Caden Ellis is going
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: to be out for this game. Carl Granderson is going
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: to be out for this game. Pete Warner has been
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: banged up. I think he's going to go. He's been
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: questionable all week. That doesn't bode well for you. Anthony
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Jennings is out for this game. So you're going to
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: be doing it with– Not all the way duct tape
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: and super glue, but it's getting close to there.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Especially if Pete can't go.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: If you don't have Pete Werner and Caden Ellis, your
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: two backers in the middle, that's a problem.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: You're not going to have to put duct tape on it.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: We're going to put Chuck tape on it. He's going
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: for 400 plus tonight. 400 plus. We've put the whole thing,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: the whole game on his right arm before. It's happening tonight.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I don't care. B. John, you're great. I don't care
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: if you get 200 yards tonight. You're not going to win.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: Tyler Shuck introducing himself to the world. It's kind of
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: a shame he has to introduce himself tonight. But I
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: don't think he's fine.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: It's kind of games-inducing. Besides, I think last week was
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: the first time he's played past noon.
• 22:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: I think so. Truly.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: It's all right, though. You can be bucking tonight. Did
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: you like that? The Shuck tape? Yeah. The what?
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: America's going to buck.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: America's going to buck hard. On a Monday night, nonetheless.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Prime time. Dang, you think Tyler would like that nickname?
• 23:09
  Speaker 8: What?
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Chuck Tape?
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: I think so. I think he would like Chuck Tape.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Good in all occasions. Good for everything.
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Could lead to an endorsement down the road, too. Could
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: lead to a big-time endorsement. Okay.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: I don't think he'd hate it.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Marketing genius. I mean, what is, what, I mean, Duck Tape,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: does anybody not like Duck Tape? Everybody likes it.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: You need duct.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Tape for a lot of different things.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, scotch tape probably.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Stole a little bit of the show. But it's not
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: stolen value. It's rightfully.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: It's a completely different tape.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: He took it.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, does scotch tape actually adhere to anything?
• 23:43
  Speaker 8: No.
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: Duct tape can fix a lot of things. And Tyler
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: Shuck's right arm can fix a lot of things.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: It can fix a whole franchise.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: A whole city.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a big Danny Stutzman game.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Some would say the heart of the city.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Some would say that.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Danny Stutzman's neck roll is going to get some work tonight.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, baby.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: I do like Danny Stutzman.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: He's a meathead. Oh, that's a good point. Shuck tape
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: could just be like some, we just watched game film
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: with Tyler.
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, that would be like, if you had like a
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Tyler Shuck only podcast.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: A podcast only about Tyler Shuck.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the Shuck tape. On this episode, we're
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: going to tell you where Tyler Shuck went to elementary school.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Forest Hills Elementary. That's where I went to school.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Put glue on a beat. And it died. And it died.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: All right.

  Speaker 1: We can't have anyone freak out out there, okay? We've
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: got to keep our composure. We've got too far. I'm
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: by winning. I win here and I win there. Now what?
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: Are you doing what it takes to win a championship?
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Wow, winning. Well, then I guess there's only one thing
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: left to do. What's that? win the whole thing.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: All right my first weekend winner is going to be
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Braves pitcher Ray Kerr now you probably don't even know
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: who Ray Kerr is you might not know who Ray
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Kerr is even if you're a Braves fan he's a
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: 32 year old relief pitcher that started a game against
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: the Phillies in the playoffs a must-win game for the
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Braves did really well there okay Then he comes back
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: and starts in the NLDS against the billion-dollar Dodgers last
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: night and deals yet again. And kind of came out
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: of nowhere last night. He goes two and two-thirds, only
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: gives up two hits, no earned runs, strikes out four
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Dodger players in two and two-thirds. And here's a little bit,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: if you don't know, of who Ray Kerr is and
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: his story of how he found his way.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Back to baseball.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Wait, I was not paying attention.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: What happened? We're playing sound. Oh, okay.
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: Here.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, you got to start over. You got to start over, Tate.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: You got to start over. Sorry. It's Instagram. I got
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: to let it run through.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: My bad.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: That's on me. Chest tap.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know how long the video is.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: It's a good one, though. Are we close to anything?
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: Can't you just refresh it?
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, can't you just, like, swipe up and swipe down? down?
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Instagram's terrible. All right, Matt, weekend winner. Well, that was electric.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: I'm going to come back to it.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go. I don't like winners. I'm like
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: losers this weekend. A big time. Hello.
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: Is there her NFL referees?
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: A couple instances this past weekend. It wasn't great. Head
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: referee Adrian Hill.
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: Absolute crashing out in the Vikings Dolphins game when Vikings
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: linebacker Eric Wilson get pushed into him. Absolute crash out
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: meltdown right on the field. Kind of embarrassing for everybody.
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: And then Cardinals game.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Lineman. Ref. Jeff Seaman. Line judge. Caught on camera.
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: Mouthing and yelling F-U, F-U to Cardinals tight end Trey McBride. And,
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: you know, Trey McBride's like, what? And kind of like
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: looks and is kind of on camera like smirking. Like,
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: what's this guy's deal? Like, what's his problem?
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, okay. Let's not pretend that there aren't curse words said.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: On an NFL football field.
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: On the sidelines.
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: Let's not pretend that coaches and players use profanities towards
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: referees multiple times. Some referees don't like it. I think
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: Vrabel's got fined or flagged this past week for cursing
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: towards a ref.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: It happens. I'm not going to say it, but.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Referees typically do it under their breath and they don't... Referees.
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: have to stay neutral. They cannot get emotional in these games.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, I get it. They have to fight back. Baseball
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: umpires yell back at coaches when they get yelled at.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: But when you're a ref in a football game, you
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: have complete control of the whole game. If somebody mouths
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: off at you, you get the whole flag for them.
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: But if you mouth off to somebody else on a
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: team or a coach or a player, there's nothing they
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: can do. When you have complete control of a football game,
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: you have to have complete control of yourself. So NFL referees,
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: bad look. I hear that the NFL is investigating Jeff Seaman.
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: So we'll see how it plays out. We'll see what happens,
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: but they have to be held accountable for certain things.
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: And again, I am not oblivious to the fact that
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: I'm sure there's referees cursing at people all the time.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: I heard it.
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: I've seen it. Referees like this got caught on camera.
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: I get it, but it got.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Caught on camera.
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: And when we all get it, if you do something
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: bad and you get away with it, get away with it.
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: But once you get caught on camera, something has to change.
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: Something has to be said.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Losers.
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: If you have complete control, if you have all the
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: power in one certain situation, you cannot lose your cool.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: And if you do, there are consequences. Losers. Bum. Agreed.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Adrian Hill, by the way. Loser behavior. Head referee. Yeah.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Aerospace software engineer. Yeah. That doesn't seem like it takes
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: no time out of the week. Yeah.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: So I'm like, what do you want me to do?
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: The running bag is blocking me.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Like, get up. Get out of the way. What are
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: you doing? You got embarrassed. Lord, help us. All right.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: Let's go to this video.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: We go with Ray Kurt?
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Here's his journey to the Atlanta Braves.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: Dolphers coming out of high school.
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: I had a couple junior college offers. That's about it.
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: Lassen Community College, Mendocino, Santa Rosa, College of the Redwoods.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: That's about it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: I didn't really have much coming out.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Juco Grind. Juco Grind, baby. Juco Grind. Yeah. Free agent
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: sign out, Juco.
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: It's a long story with me, bro.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: What's your baseball journey just been like?
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: Well, there was a time I quit baseball for like
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: a year, 2015, 16. After college, junior college, I stopped playing.
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: I worked at IMAX Theaters in Reno, Nevada. After that,
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: I worked at 7-Eleven. I was stocking shelves and shit.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: It was freezing in there. I was like, I gotta
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: do something. This is something else. I went to.
• 33:38
  Speaker 8: Lassen Community College. From Lassen, still no offers.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: I was like, alright.
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: That's when I decided to play in Alaska League. Sun
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: never went down up there. I went fishing a lot, bro.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: After the Alaska League, still No offers.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: I was like, damn.
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: I was going to Cumberland University in Tennessee. Seattle and
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: the Marlins called me, wanted to watch me throw a bullpen.
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: I'm like, hey, yo, let's go.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: Watch me. Seattle picked me up.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Free agent deal.
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: Had like a month's worth of MRIs and stuff. I
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: was like 22 at the time. Pitched one inning in
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: extended screen training. Got two Ks, a little pop.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Out, like, yeah. After that, low A.
• 34:07
  Speaker 8: Every year, high A, double A, triple A. The highest
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: I got with Seattle was triple A, and then they
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: traded me to the Padres. Made my debut against the Dodgers.
• 34:15
  Speaker 8: First strikeout was Max Muncy. I didn't watch a lot
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: of baseball growing up, so I didn't know who he was.
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: They were like, he struck an all-star. I was like, hey,
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, guys.
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: From there, then made my debut, then got traded.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Over here to the Braves. It's been a journey, bro.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: It's been a journey. That's pretty cool. Working at 7-Eleven,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: the IMAX Theater in Nevada. Good for him.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Juco, no real offers coming out of high school.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Doesn't get drafted.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: I think it was like a $ 2, 000.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Free agent deal.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: That's awesome.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: And then now he's pitching against the Phillies and Bryce
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Harper and Schwarber and the Dodgers and Shohei and Freddie Freeman.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: What's this guy's name again?
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: First strikeout, Max Muncy.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, was it Max Muncy? He said his first.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Strikeout was Max Muncy.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: That's what he just said.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: I think he might have struck him out last night.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: That's what I was saying. I think he struck out
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Max Muncy last night, too. Ray Kerr, 32 years old,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: just now kind of making it. Pretty cool story. And
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: he was really good again last night against the juggernaut
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: that is the L.A.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Dodgers.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: All right, Ray.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: I'll see you, Ray.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: I'll see you. All right, Ray.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: Weekend winner for me, I got to give it to
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: Bryce Young because I feel like people hate on him
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: a lot.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: He's little. People really around.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it's around the NFL, but just
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: talking heads, stuff you see on the internet, stuff like that.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: Just very negative toward Bryce Young and kind of feels
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: like people root for him to fail.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: A little bit.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: A little bit, it does.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: He's been bad in the past.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: He has, yeah. I mean, maybe rightfully so, but yeah.
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: I guess my point is that he looked really good
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: last night and the Panthers have looked pretty good through...
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: the season so far, so weekend winner for me, Bryce Young.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: I like to see people succeed, especially after they've had
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: a rough go of it, like that guy, Ray Kerr.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, like, he's had a rough go of it,
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: and he's... It.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Didn't seem like he blamed anybody. No. Just like, you
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: got to keep working.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: He just went to work.
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And given opportunities.
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: Like, how many times have we seen a player like that? And,
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: of course, I get draft position... It's a cure-all for
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: a lot of things, but still, like, we just saw J.J.
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: McCarthy traded.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: In a similar type of situation, first round. But given
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: the opportunities, the coaching staff believed in him, and the
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: coaching staff's doing a hell of a job.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: Also, weekend winner Dave Canales just for being maybe one
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: of the better-looking coaches in the NFL.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Good genes.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we were watching the game last night
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: because Memphis is a Panthers guy. So we got the
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: split screen of the Dodgers and Braves. And Kay's like.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Who's the Panthers coach? And I was like, why are
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: you asking?
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: Why are you curious?
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, you're right. She didn't even say why.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I know why you're asking.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: He's on the list.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: He's a good dude. He was in Seattle when I
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: was there. Oh, was he?
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: So he's hot and a good dude?
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: He had to be 12 at the time. Pretty much.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: He looked the exact same, actually. Yeah.
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: Dang.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Dang.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: All right. Some people just have it all. He's got
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: his fastball, whatever.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: Some people just have it all.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right. Save some for the rest of us, I
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: believe is the saying.
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: Weekend winner for me goes to the Yale versus Merrimack game.
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: Tony Reno, longtime Yale coach, stepped down at the end
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: of last year due to health reasons. Well, he passed
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: away on Friday. He's their ex-head coach. Well, his son,
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: Dante Reno, is the quarterback at Yale today. He played
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: in the game on Saturday, the day after his dad
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: passed away.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: No big deal.
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: 298 yards, four touchdowns, and a 41-24 victory over Mary Mac.
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: So shout out Dante Reno. That has to be a
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: tough thing to do in an impossible situation. And he
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: goes in there and does it. Dante Reno goes to
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: South Carolina out of high school. Leaves, goes to play
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: for his dad last year. Not knowing that his dad's
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: going to have to step down at the end of
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: the year due to health reasons.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: He does. He sticks with the Yale program. His dad
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: passes away. He balls out, gets the big time win.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: So shout out to Dante Reno. Love it. That's cool.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: I didn't see that one.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was cool after the game to see him
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: talk about it.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: Well, they were also down in the game, and then
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: he let them back. I think they ended the game
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: on like a 34-7 run to win the game.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Wow. Awesome. I got one. You got one? Weekend winner. Adrenaline. Okay.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: You're a winner.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: I know where you're going with this.
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Taequann Thornton on a big
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: third and four. Chiefs were down at the time. This
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: was three and a half minutes left in the fourth quarter.
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: They're down 19-17. In their own territory, Chiefs Patrick Williams
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: drops back, throws a dot down the field on kind
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: of a deep crosser route over Al. Taequann Thornton makes
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: a really nice catch. You can tell adrenaline of the
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: moment makes the catch. Gets tackled from behind. He stands
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: up to celebrate, excited, puts his right foot in the ground,
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: everything's cool, his hands are out, tries to put his
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: left foot on the ground, realizes his foot is pointed backwards.
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: And has to lay back down. But I was like,
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: what happened? Like, like he just got up to celebrate.
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: My God, weekend winner adrenaline. You can do some crazy things,
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: but that dude's foot was pointed the opposite direction. And
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: you didn't even know you got up trying to celebrate,
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: trying to put your foot down and celebrate probably the
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: biggest play of your career.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: That was one of the most brutal videos I've ever seen.
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: It was wild. Did you see the lineman, his teammate,
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: come up to him and be like, hey, bro, what's up?
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Hit him on the chest. You okay? You okay? And
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: he points. He's like, look. He does show that. Huh?
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: He's like, look. And then the lineman turns and looks,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, no. Okay, I like you, but
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I can't look at that. Yeah.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: That's a big loss for them. He's made a bunch
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: of plays. I don't know if you all remember, but
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: we caught up. Like, I joined the show right after
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Chiefs camp, and I was telling y'all, like, he's about
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: to have a monster year.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Because, like, he was his go-to target at practice, and
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: he's had some big plays already this year, big touchdowns,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: and that's a big loss for the Chiefs.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's going to be a blow because he's their
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: big play guy down the field. Like, they wanted Worthy
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: to be that guy. He just hasn't been. He's up.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Worthy's playing okay, though. Yeah, but not, like, shots down
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: the field.
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: Like, Tyquan Thornton is their home run guy taking shots
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: down the field.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: They don't really have another guy like that. Now, are
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs now the last undefeated? They're 4-0. No, the
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Niners are 4-0. Niners, that's right.
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: But I have, like, I've seen the rumor mill starting
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: to pick up for when he gets cleared, Tyreek Hill,
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: Chiefs might be looking for a reunion.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Even more so now because their big play threat, Gordon.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: Is down. And it would make a lot of sense.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: Good job. I made a journalist.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: I just like my foot hurts thinking about it.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Isn't that great? Like what you're like, your brain.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: Is making me cringe so hard.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay. I'm just going to turn off.
• 41:21
  Speaker 8: Oh my God.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: I can't. I need to stop thinking about it. It's
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: literally like.
• 41:27
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: Bone breaking. I can't do.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: We'll take a break.
• 41:31

• 41:33
