• 1:15
  Speaker 1: This Josh Dobbs fever that has taken Vikings Nation by storm.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I'm infected? Is this the worst metaphor of all time
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to start a show? Perhaps? But I'm jacked joining me
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: longtime friend die hard Saints fan, the great Sean Patten. Hello,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: my friend, Thank you.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Cy, and thank you for having me. And I gotta
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: say too. I was a little infected with the Josh
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Doobs feaver as well.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: How I don't understand how last year when Baker Mayfield
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: had a day of practice and led that one drive
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: and everybody went nuts. This is like the super version
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: of this. If you like sports, this is the height
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: of why you would like sports.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's basically a real life Willie Beamon.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, you know from that You and I are the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: only people that remember that movie. There is no one else. Well,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I can't even it was Al Pacino and Jamie Fox.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: What was the name of it any given Simon. Here's
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: why I remember that movie, Sean, because whenever I would
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: do something minor, my dad would I don't want to
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: say overreact, but the punishment I was always like, that's
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: a little much. And then whenever I would make a
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: major mistake, he would go real soft, which I thought
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: was incredible parenting. And so I got in trouble for
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: shoplifting as a seventeen year old kid, and as a punishment,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: my dad took me to any given Sunday, which he
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: could not have known the content that was going to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: be in that movie. That's not a great choice if
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you're trying to teach a kid, you're trying to have
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the act better talk after the movie. But he took
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: me to that movie and then afterwards he's like, you
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: know what, you are terrible at shoplifting. You should not shoplift.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: And that was the end of it, and it worked.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I'd never shoplifted again.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I like how he took He's like, we're gonna go
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: see it Oliver Stone movie. What's what's play it? Ah,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: it's all it work. Oh, here we go. JFK JFK
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Natural board.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I was trying to think about a comparable scenario to
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: this Dobbs thing for comedians, and this is the closest
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: thing I could come to try to explain it in
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: our world is, let's say, because whenever you get to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: do Conan or a Letterman or a Late Night said,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: you get to bring people with so often. You know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I had a buddy with you. You bring a buddy
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: who's been doing stand up usually with you with to
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: those things. That'd be like if you go with your
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: buddy to do Conan and then he gets sick and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the booker's like you're up, man, and you're like, oh great,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: can I use my material? And he's like, nope, you
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: can only riff. Yeah, you can only go out here
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and riff. And then you go out and you kill it.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: That's that's the only comparable scenario. I don't even understand
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: this Josh Dobbs thing.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: He's a younger guy, not that old quarterback. I think
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: he's only like second or third season.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Right, I'm not sure how many seasons, but I know
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: he's twenty just turned twenty eight, so he's young. He's
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: still early prime.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Right, he's still got like, yeah, he's still got a
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: career ahead of him. But he's got such an old
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: quarterback name, you know, Oh yeah, Gosh Dobs, Like you
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: expect to just be this like guy that's like, all right, man,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I got five more passes than me. I'm gonna use
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: them on this drive. But he's like he's a kid.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: He's like he's got a whole career ahead of him,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: and I don't know, it's pretty exciting because then because
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: then you wonder, like if he captured the imagination of
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the team and the city, what next? What you know?
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: That's what's so psycho about The sport is like any
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: given Sunday, not the movie title.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I always say locker rooms are weird places. We
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: all make fun of their cliches and the sports isms,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: but they believe that stuff. There are a bunch of
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: guys who are the most elite of the elite walking
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: around going nobody believed in me, and they believe that.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: And so when you get a team that starts losing
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: in weird ways, I think they start thinking that's who
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: they are, and so I in the same way, when
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: crazy good things happen, it can snowball. And then when
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: you combine that with the fact that I think outside
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: of maybe three to five quarterbacks in the NFL, a
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: lot of whether or not these guys succeed depends on
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: situations like do you have a supportive staff, do you
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: have a good roster around you. I'm fascinated by the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: potential ceiling of this. I'm with you.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you just said it properly too, Like when you
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: watch football with like someone who's not who doesn't watch
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: often enough or isn't that big of a fan, and
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: they're just completely like this guy. This quarterbacks suck guy.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: You gotta be like hold Ones I got first and foremost.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: If that guy threw you a pass, all of your
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: fingers would shatter when you try to catch it. Specifically quarterbacks,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: it's like, think about the offensive line needs to be good,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: the place call needs to be good, the receivers need
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: to be where they won't need to be. The defense.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: There's so many variables, like I get that Patrick Mahomes's
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Jedi level. In fact, I was in Philadelphia last year
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: for the Super Bowl, not for the game itself, but
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: the weekend leading up. I was at at Ilium Comedy
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Club a Thursday, Friday, Saturday in Philly. Right, So I
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: don't know if you've ever met a Philadelphia Eagles plan,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: but let's just say they're all tough drawing. They're all
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: well educated, very you know, well spoken, you know, very
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: kind people, very kind, open minded individuals. And I'm sorry,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: did I say that. I was I saying something nice
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: about those psychoses. So yeah, like at the beginning of
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the weekend, it was like it was like a zombie
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: movie where at first there's only like you know, the
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Thursday night, there's maybe only and people in the audience
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: with their jerseys and the old birds about the Saturday
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Night Show. They're all just like gold birds, like the
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: whole audience. And I tell the I tell the after
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the show, this Saturday Night Show. I'm just kind of
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: hanging out, and I happen to mention that I think
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs are gonna win. I say that not because
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I'm a Jedi, not because I'm a psychic, because I
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: was in a room full of other adults, and I
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: figured in that room of adults, i'd get a light
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: you know, ribbing. But seriously, there was a moment where
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: the bouncer was like, do you want do you need
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: me to walk you out here? Man? No, no, no,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I'll deal with it. But there was a moment. There
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: was a moment where I'm like, am I had to
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: have to fisc fight my way through twenty drunk comedy
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: audience because I just I think the Chiefs are gonna
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: take it. But you know, I was right just.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Saying, yeah, can we package that up and can we
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: play it a pre show at the Philadelphia Helium. Moving forward,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Sean Patten was right, come find him.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: What I wanted to do was at the end of
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: the Saturday night show, which is the last show the weekend.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I wanted to pull my phone out, you know, and
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: rotate it around like so many comedians do now.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: And get that like crowd shot.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And I wanted to be like, thank you so much, Philadelphia,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: thank you so much. Go change, go, change, go, and
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: just get an image of them all losing their.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Mind, get their reaction.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: But the cop the host was like, please don't do that,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: because they'll they'll murder you, and I'll be on their side.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I'm like, yeah, I get it.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I have to. I'm sorry, it's my birthright. I'll have
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: to be a part of the mob that burns you
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: at the stake.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: If I don't join in, I'm in I'm endangering my family,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Going back to the idea of these you know you
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: but they know none of these guys suck. There's a
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: name that's gonna ring true for both of us that
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I have a great story about that I've I've maybe
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: told on this show before. But Todd Bawman, oh buddy, yeah,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: former Vikings quarterback, former Saints quarterback. The definition of a
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: backup quarterback and potentially of a third string quarterback. Right right, right,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: so he's from Minnesota. His brother coached at Pipestone High School.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I had a friend that played at Pipestone. Well, Todd
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Bauman was on the Minnesota Vikings, and the kids on
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the team would kind of like make fun of Bauman
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: for being you know, oh, he's the dopey, corny, unathletic
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: backup quarterback like that sort of stuff. And so they
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: had like a carbo load before a game and his
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: brother brought over a VHS tape and just popped it
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: in and it was a video of Todd Bauman in
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: high school winning a high school slam dunk contest with
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a three sixty from about three fourths of the way
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: through the free throw lane. And everybody's like, holy shit, dude.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. These guys are all athletes from before
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: they hit puberty. By the time puberty arrived in their bodies,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: it was like, Oh, I got all this to work with.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Cool When you see it for real, when you see
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: it up close, it's wild. I coached aau basketball and
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I worked for Chris Carr, who played with the Wolves
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: for a while, played with Michael Jordan with the Bulls.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I worked for his organization. I had this kid on
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: my team who ended up playing at Loyola of Chicago
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and then ended up playing overseas. Really good six foot six.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: His name was Jordan Hicks. I mean, dude could ball right.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: One of the top high school players in the state.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: And we were at a shoot around before practice and
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Chris was there sitting on the bench and Jordan was
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: trash talking him as he was shooting threes from about
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the NBA three point range, just a little bit behind,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: so it's a deep shot. So Chris challenges him to
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: a you know who can make the most out of
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: ten for a gatorade? And so, uh, Jordan hits six
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: out of ten, which that's wild. That's that's a pretty
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: impressive performance. And then Chris walks out and clanks the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: first one, and then he clanks the second one, and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: then he clanks the third one, and Jordan's smiling, everybody's
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: talking trash and then he takes the next one and
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: hits it, and I saw the look on his face.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, he's feing with them.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: And then he hit seven straight three pointers from two
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: foot behind the NBA three point line, intentionally having missed
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the first three. And you're like, oh, That's a level
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: of repetition and ability that I couldn't even stand within
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: a million miles of Hey.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I love that be I wonder do you think sometimes
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: coaches do that with the team where they're like, guys, listen,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: they're they're overconfident. They're they're coming off a two game
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: winning streak. We know we're better. What if we just
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: shoulder ship the bed for the first couple of drives,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, let them think they got it,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Let the peak Like sometimes sometimes I think with every
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: New Orleans Saints fan winning the Super Bowl was of
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: course one of the greatest moments. You know, it was amazing,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: but they never want to second one. With Drew Breezes
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: of Shuan Page, never one seconde never even went to
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: the second one. Is the equivalent of the second Super
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Bowl was watching the Falcons lose to the Patriots.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: If you remember, I've heard so many Saints fans say that,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: like it's their moments in franchise history. Number one are win,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the number two the Falcons loss.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Believe you me, I've had this borderline argument with both
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: of our good friends. But you're one of your podcast mates,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Chad Daniels, right, that's no shant. Fans should ever, ever,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: ever be angry about the concept of cheating or being
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: robbed of something. And I'm like list, and Brad far
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: deserved it. He deserved it. Also, Also, my argument against
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: bounty Gate was it was they were just he was saying,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: do your job, just too well, that's all he was saying.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: But but but Shad, I had because you know, that
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: was the year that in the NFC Championship a very
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: blatant call was not made.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: That was the past interference.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Yere right, that was the past in affairs year. But then,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: of course my argument, my my realistic argument, is like, yeah,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: but then they did get the ball first in overtime
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: and still couldn't do it. So I hated that moment,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: but I'm also like, yeah, but then they couldn't close
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the deal. However, that year, the Super Bowl was in
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Atlanta and it was against the Patriots, and if you remember,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: it was one of the most boring Super Bowls in
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: history when the Rams lost. But the Saints would have
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: played the Patriot in Atlanta and that super if they
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: would have beaten the Patriots in Atlanta, it might have
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: been the greatest moment ever for a Saints fan because
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Falcons fans would have had to have rooted for the
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Saints in that oh yeah, because they had humiliated by
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: the Patriots what two seasons earlier. It was a moment
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: that would have been so glorious because I think most
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Saints fans, like myself and my buddy who lives around
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: the corner, best friend growing up, he lives here in
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Brooklyn as well, we were rooting for the Falcons at first.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: The big Machine. Nobody wants to see the Big Machine
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: win another title.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: At that point, if you were rooting for the Patriots,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: it was like rooting for Walmart, you know, and like
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: or Starbucks. And I know a lot of you know,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Pats fans he had had like, hey, I'd be like,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I learned to annunciate. I we'll talk. But but man,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: once it started happening, once you saw that it was
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: really happening, you're like, okay, I'm kind of a hund
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: was not on board.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is delicious. I think that one of the
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: tough things about being an NFL fan, like a die hard,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I try not to take any of it too seriously,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: you know, you take it just seriously enough to have
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: it be a wonderful escape. Yeah, but I can't not
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: have petty, silly grudges for all of eternity watching them
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: blow that second half lead, even though they didn't win
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: a super Bowl. When they beat us in ninety eight,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, that's what you get. Oh, that's
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: what you get. Yeah, so I don't. I don't like
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: the Falcons either, I will say, dude, and I know
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: you feel this way, It would be fine with me
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: if after this week's game, the Vikings and the Saints
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: didn't play each other for half a decade. I am
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: so sick of playing the New Orleans Saints. And I
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: know we've had We had the Minnesota Miracle against you.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: We had the Kyle Rudolph catch, which I know is
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the one you hate more, but like, I just I
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: don't want to do it anymore. It was like we
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: played the Seahawks every year forever I'm done, I'm out.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Let me play the Bucks every year.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean yeah, the NFC Championship game against them.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Liking since there has been pain.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Here's a question for you. Yeah, those like the miracle
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: and the Rudolph because that team the year that Rudolph
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: caught that pass, that was a super Bowl team that
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: was a very very very good football team. You guys
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: had that year and.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: That was Drew Brees's last go at a super Bowl.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, are you ever able to rationalize it? Because we're
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: a suffering fan base that had never has never won
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: a title. You had never won a title before the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: one that you got off of us and then the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Colts is this? Do you ever go, oh god, it's
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: the worst. But we did. We did get a super
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Bowl because I think everyone in Minnesota would be happily
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph and Minnesota miracled if they had a super
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Bowl to look at.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I mean yeah, I mean, I guess it is like
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: winning an Oscar for a fank, Like, you know, you
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: always has a fan base. You got that one Oscar,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: You're like al Pacino. You know, it's like we're the
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: al Pacinos. I mean, dude, Like, well, that's the thing too.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Like growing up, the things were terrible, terrible, terrible terrible
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: until I was almost thirty, you know what I mean. Like, yeah,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: especially the nineties when I was like a kid kid.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: My first like recollection of being a Saints fan was
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: the Dickie Years, which was got offul.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Can we pause the whole show and discuss how no
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: one ever talks about? So I wanted to do this
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: project called Size Favorite Photos.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: ESPN was like no, but it was Mystery Science Theater
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: three thousand, literally YouTube length, making fun of famous sports
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: pictures like the Barkley eating pizza or the great Randy
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Moss Charles Woodson Heisman year with Ryan Leaf and Peyton Manning.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: If you ever get a chance to go look at
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: that picture, it's great. But the one that never gets
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: talked about is that somehow Mike Dicka and Ricky Williams
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: got in wedding gear oh yeah, and got on the cover.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Who like think about with how controlled everything is by
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: public relations now going and going, hey guys, all right,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do. Yeah, our Hall of Fame
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: coach and our brand new running back. They're gonna dress
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: up like a groom and bride and they're gonna be
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: on the cover of Sports Illustrated. That's bananas, a very bananas.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Be Like, I tell you what that I was young,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: I was, you know, teenage when that happened. I can
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: say that it taught me to never buy in the
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: hype ever, ever, ever, again in my life. I vividly
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: remember to the tea being my family has a catering business,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: right and as a kid, you know, I started working
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: for my family's catering business. I was like eleven, you know,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: illegally probably, but you know, like you start working. You know,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: it's family, so you're you know, when you got weekends off,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: sometimes I'd just be home. My dad would call you,
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: but get dressed, You're coming in. I'm like, okay, you know,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: I'm after school had been anyway. I remember I was
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: cutting shallots for a crawfish at tufe, you know, because
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: paintering you cook everything in bulk. I'm cutting shallots just
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: at work on a whatever day. The NFL draft was
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: whatever day, and I remember, you know, with the whatever
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: selection nor Orlony States running back Ricky Williams out of
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: the University of Texas. I remember the entire building erupting
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: and like for the rest of that day, like stopping
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: to get gashed people like we got that Ricky Williams,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: And like for the week afterwards, everyone the entire shitty,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: the entire region, the entire fan base was totally okay
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: with it was one hundred like this guy knows what
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: he's doing. Like, so, whenever people throw shaded Dica, and
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: they should because there was a careless, dumb at decision
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: made by a guy who just coaching for a paycheck,
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: we can all admit that. Now later we might. We
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: drive home and my dad listened to eight seventy am
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Stints talk. All of them were on board, and everyone
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: was like, yep, sure he just gave away the future
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: of draft the next six years. Doesn't matter. One guy's
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: gonna fix it all because Dick said he's Dicka. Sure,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: he's already been the coach for I think at that
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: point two terrible seasons. Sure, we've been rotating between Billy
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Joe Hobert and Billy Joe Tolliver. Which Billy Joe is
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: it gonna be? We don't know. Oh we got Terry Collins.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: You remember that guy. Yeah, he got cut from a
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: team because he told his coach he was too hungover
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: to play a game. I believe it was that something
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: like that. He got pulled in the game by his requests,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: so they cut him. Oh cool, we can't figure out quarterback,
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: you know. We had, we had Willie ROAs, We had
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: one amazing.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Hall of fame Willy Rep imagine having two Billy Joe's
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: at quarterback and drafting a running back.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, I remember, I don't even have to imagine it.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I saw it real time.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: It's also like it reminds you of like a TV
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: franchise where you're like, it's twenty twenty two and all
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: of a sudden there's a show about, like, you know, robots,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: and it's on some channel you didn't even know existed.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: You're like, it's like Roku East or something. You're like,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know. I didn't know Roku had an East.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't know how to and they're it's and it's
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: starring Wesley Snipes, and you're like, well, this has gotta
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: be good. I loved Blade and I loved the Major League.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: That's what Didka coming too. The Saints had to feel
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: like going from one of the greatest teams of all time.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: You had to feel like, as a Saints fan, you're like,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: we got Ditka. But then everyone on the outside was like,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: did you or is this is this Wesley Snipes on
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Roku East? What are we watching here?
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: At the time. At the time, the Saints has been
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: bad for so long that people forgot that it was
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Dick twelve years removed, right from that Super Bowl team,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: because I remember being slightly suspicious of the whole thing,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: being like, well, but people being like you, what are
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: you a dumb at what are you? Yeah? Sure you're right,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're right. Questions are for the stupid. But
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: like god, man, and it's really sad. Is Ricky Williams
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: when he had his moments, they were amazing.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Turned out to be when he was into it, a
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: hell of a football player.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. But then I also, you know, I remember
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: all the interviews with the helmet, and that's the other
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: thing you forget about is like their kids and they're
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: taught to handle all this pressure. Sure, but then like
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: no one, no one ever truly tells them how much
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: pressure it's really going to be.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I think about that a lot. You know, you've had
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: a fantastic career thus far. You know, your new special
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: on Peacock is dude, it's phenomenal. You've been on Late
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Night a bunch, You've had the Comedy Central specials, like
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: you've reached a mountain peak and stand up that is
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: really really impressive. Okay, but even with that peak, right,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: like the amount of comments and YouTube comments and so
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: like the amount of pressure that comes with and you know,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: feelings about yourself that come with that mountaintop. I think
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: sometimes guys like guess it's it's a lot sometimes Now
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: take that time's the most the quarterback in every state
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: is probably more famous than the governor in that state
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: by a couple miles. I shouldn't say probably, I would.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I would put all my earnings on that. I think.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: So that's in today's day and age to be a
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: young kid and have all this new media and all
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: these it's it's kind of like the world said, what
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: if we had a lot more places for people to
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: put their opinions around your performance of whatever you do?
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean, like ten years ago, I
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: got a little Twitter mad at Drew Brees, uh because
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: he was it wasn't two twelve, so eleven years ago
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: he was opening up a couple of Jimmy John's in
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: New Orleans, which you know, I got no problem with,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: you know, people opening businesses, but he was doing it
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: in like historic areas of the city, and he was
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: doing it and he was doing it next to like
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: like wedged in between like mom and pop joints that
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: have been there for decades that in my opinion, it
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: was like, dude, that's just bad business, Like you're it's
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: going to be known as it's Drew Brees is Jimmy Johns.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: There's no way they're not going to fly that banner.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: And it's like, you know, open them up and metry
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: or buy the airport or in like parts of the city.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: That like places where Jimmy Johns don't screw over families
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: that have spent generations building a restaurant, right right.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: And I launched a pirade against him on Twitter, just
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: like tagging him like hey, man, thought you were about
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: the city. Hey, And then I started to getting like,
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: you know, you said earlier a thing that I think
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: is beautiful about being able to turn it off a
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: little bit. I remember whether the Sinks lost to the
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Alex Smith passed to Vernon Davis in the playoffs in
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: two thousand, I want to say the same year, twenty
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: twelve seat or eleven seasons. I got so angry that
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: I threw my BlackBerry there you go, threw my BlackBerry
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: at a tree and it shattered, not the tree, but
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: the BlackBerry shattered. And it was that moment watching my
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: BlackBerry on the ground it's broken, thinking well, I got
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: to get another one of those, because that's the future
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: of phones. No one, nothing's never gonna get better than that.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna get one of these candy ass iPhones
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: and get another BlackBerry. But also realizing like, yeah, you
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: got to back off a little bit. It's is not healthy.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: But I always say that if your team sucks, and
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: if you're going through it with your team, remember one thing.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Eighty percent of the players on that team don't actually
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: live in your city. So just remember that. Okay, it's
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: all a game, it's all entertainment. It's awesome when they win,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: let it go when they lose. It's not on you.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Like speaking of Philadelphia, people you know talking about burning
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: the city if they lose. I'm like, yeah, but most
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: of them aren't coming back to that city. Like Jalen
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Hurts lives in Chicago. I'm pretty sure.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who are you affected? Yeah, it's a It's a
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: beautiful escape, That's what I always say. It's a beautiful,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: wonderful escape that you can both invest your enthusiasm and
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: your sadness in and then you can move to the
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: you can move to the next thing while letting that
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: piece still exist. But I do, I do have to
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: point out something that you mentioned to me because we're
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: kind of saying, hey, everybody, take a breath, and you know,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: realize how it's again. But your family, your family of diehards,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: has a belief about here's the thing. I'm just going
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: to shut up. I'm just going to let you tell it.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: So, So I was my birthdays in November, right, it
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: was the following season. So it's like I just turned
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: a year old or as about turn year older. And
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: my parents, you know still to this day, long time
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: season ticket holders, and they take me to a game
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: as a baby, and you know what, you see a
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: lot and it was against the Falcons and the Saints
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: were winning, and they do this thing where they leave
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: at the you know, it's early in the fourth quarter.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: It's like, let's get out of here, let's you know,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: and then it's like halfway through the fourth quarter they're
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: leaving the game to beat the traffic there. They're a
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: young family at that point, you know, they didn't like
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: my dad couldn't afford to park in the parking lot
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: at the super Dome. So it was like a you know,
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: ten minute walk to where the car was. He says,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: they get in the car, turn on sports radio. The
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: very first thing they hear is and lightning has struck
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: the New Orleans says, from the time they left, when
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: they got to the car, the Falcons scored like two
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: touchdowns in the field goal to take the game. That
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: they were they were down two and a half scores
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: and won.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: So so they were they the Saints were ahead of
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: the Falcons by two and a half scores. Your parents
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: are like, let's get home. This was great, you guys.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: By the time you're in the car, they're losing.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: They lost. By the time they get the car, the
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: game's done. Like they lost, like, you know, by three points.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: And so that that always comes up, always comes up
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: whenever the Saints are having a bad season. And my
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: argument is always, no, they lost because they took me
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: out of the dome. They were winning.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: So your family is insisting that you're that action them
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: leaving a win early with you and tow has cursed
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the team.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: No, not that they're saying my presence did. My argument
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: is no, No, if you would have just stayed the end,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: they would have won. I was in the building they
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: were winning.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: That's a very New Orleans response, the yeah you cursed him,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: well I left. Yeah, that's the curse. I was like,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I don't think you understand curses at all.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And it's hilarious because like all through my teams
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: and like young years and teams going out every game,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: I mean all throughout the Gym Hazlet years, the Saints
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: were just bad and it would just be like every
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: well they are bad again. But my little brother, who's
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: way younger than me, he's only known the Saint says
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: like awesome. One of his first games was that game
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: where he dropped.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: The ball the Katrina game.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, he did. He did go to
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: that game though, but he was at that game. He
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: went to the game where they beat Philly to move
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: on to the NFC Championship for the first time. He
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: went to that NFC Championship against and I mean, just
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: let me just go ahead and take a dump on
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears fans for a second. Hey, those guys
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: through snowballs with nine Vault batteries inside of them at
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Saints fans for that game, which is just grow up.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: I get, you get like shouting staying awful things, talking trash.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: I get that, but you're throwing nine vault batteries in
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: fast football. It's ridictous. That's terrible. But whatever. My brother
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: and my dad went to the Super Bowl when they won.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Oh that had so they only he only knows the thing,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: says like, man, they're just great.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: I just go they just win games.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: He's it's almost even though you guys have the same dad,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: it's almost like your two sons with different dads, and
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: yours wasn't around and his was a million. Yeah, like
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: that's you have. You've had very different upbringings.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's it's it's kind of wild. But like,
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: but I will say, you know, my dad was always
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: that very temperate Saints fan, which I kind of learned
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: from him. He was that like when they're winning, he's
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: buying drinks, he's high five with people, he's tracking jokes
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: when they're losing, and he's like, oh, well that Palmer
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: whatever next season. But all of my uncles and the
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: rest of my family goes like nuclear. Like my mom
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: when she loses, when the Saints are losing, some of
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: the shit that comes out of her mouth. Jee, I
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: didn't realize you could could buy those two words.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my dad gets he gets so nervous. He doesn't
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: he's not loud, he's not mean, he's not like depressed
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: after He's not an hole when something great happens to
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: the other fans. He doesn't go out of other teams,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: but he just gets like he can't handle the pressure
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: of the big moments. It gets to him. He's got
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: to go on a walk. Man. Oh yeah, I thought
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: he might have to retire as a fan after last
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: year because there were so many crazy last minute moments. Uh,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: let me let me ask you this and then we'll
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: get you out of here. Because we've talked a lot
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: about being humans. How do you feel about this game?
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: How do you feel about this version of the Saints?
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: The Vikings walk into this game with the Dobbs thing
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: going on, and there's this swirling vibe that even though
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: they're not gonna have Justin Jefferson this week and cam
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Akers is now not going to be there, if they
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: can somehow figure out a way to get one this
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: week and they get to six and four and JJ like,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: there's this this swirling idea that they could do something
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: fun for the rest of the year, but I it's
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: not like they can't if they lose this week. But
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: I think this week is a huge, huge piece of that.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: So there's a lot of emotion wrapped into the Viking
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: side this week. With that said, you guys have Derek Carr,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: you have a different coaching staff, you like I had
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: kind of I've had pretty high expectations. I'm one of
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: the few believers in Derek Carr. But where are you
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: at with your team walking into this game this week?
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Well, my very good friend James Matter, fantastic comedian, opens
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: for Christis Stefano. He's from Vegas, right, so he sort
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: of adopted the Raiders, Like everybody in Vegas, they really
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: you know there, they adopt this FOURT team. And when
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: and when Derek Carr made the jump, he's like, they're
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: they're paying out, like having a gold retriever a quarterback.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: It's like its beautiful form and when it when it
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: does something good, you're like, God, that's a magnificent beast.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: That's a magnificent beast. But then you know you're like, oh,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: that's right, it's a dog. It doesn't know it does
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: not call it audible. It's such a funny thing.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: It's a really funny line.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, yeah, at the end of the day,
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: it's still it's still Derek Carr. And I want Derek
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Carr to seed obviously because not just because he's the
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: same quarterback, but also, like I mean, that guy had
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: a ringer of a time in Vegas and in Oakland, Oakland,
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like like you want that
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: guy to succeed. He's got the he's got the physical skills,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: and it's he seems to be, you know, getting better.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: I think Peyton's tenure with the Saints was one of
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: the longest head coaching runs in the history of the sport.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: It was a long It was you know, fifteenth sixteen seasons,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: but he was suspended for the one still fifteen seasons
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: and mostly successful, and you sort of got used to
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: this level of like if they were gonna be if
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: it was gonna be bad, they were still gonna be
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: good bad. Does that make sense? Like like you know,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: they had they had three they had three seven and
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: nine seasons before they got really good again. And after
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl and even thee of those seven and
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: nine seasons, you were still like, ah, but says do
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: you still see that they're a good team. Yeah, it's
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: hard to say the same so far under the Dennis
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Allen tender And I love that dude as a defensive coordinator.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: He came in and changed the defense. I mean we
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: had Buddy Ryan, not Buddy Ryan.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: No, you had one of the you had one of
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: the Ryans. You had not Rex Rob Ryan. You had
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Rob Rob Ryan and his incredible hair. Yep, it had
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: been amazing. If you'd have had Buddy Ryan.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: We can drug him back from the dead. Baby Saints,
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: you know, they're a non tooth. They can bring people back.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: But Rob like that guy and that thing too. That
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: dude embraced the city. Rob Ryan or whenever he came
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: in that he was everywhere, all these paparazzi, you know,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: him just partying with people, buying drinks. The shitty loved
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: him as a guy. But he was a terrible coordinator.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: But Dennis Allen came in and just turned the defense
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: into a juggernaut. But it's like now you're watching them
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: play and you're like, do they did they forget that
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Alvin kamaras on the team. Did they forget? How do
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: you know? It's like and and Chris Olov's great. I
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: love it, but it's also like, what do you you
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: know bringing back Jimmy Graham why he's thirty seven? Like
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: I guess from the locker room. Sure, but like aren't
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: there other things to focus on here? And so like
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: it seems like the offense right now is just like,
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: you know, it's back to that era of like, oh man,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: they're not it's not the offense you got you to see.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: You know, Drew Brees, even at the end when he
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: couldn't throw the ball longer further twenty five yards, was
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: still Drew Brees could still like see.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: You'll still had the brain.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he could still make wins happen and make touchdowns
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: happen like somehow like it's almost like he had mind
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: control over like his reteemers, Like you could just be
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: like you're gonna be here and the ball's gonna be
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: there and you'll be fine. I'm not saying cars sucks
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: anything like that, because I don't think that. I'm just saying, like, man,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: I really every game with the Saints feels like you know,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: when you got a burp and you're like, oh, he's
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: doing for your big one. Oh here we go and
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: you're just like and it just kind of never happens,
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: and two hours later it's like a week cough, that's
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: what it kind of. I'm just like, like, come on,
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: just belt, guys, just rip one.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: And I don't feel bad for anyone who's had a
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterback for nearly two decades. I do
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: think it is unique to have one of those and
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: then not have one. You know, if you spend almost
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: twenty years with Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Brett Favre,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, whoever it may be, it is
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: weird to all of a sudden go because you do
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: convince your no matter how great they are and how much,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: no matter how much you believe you're able to understand
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: how great they are and how fortunate you are to
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: be watching them, your brain still goes like, yeah, but
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: we'll be okay.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Ah.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: It's the world out here with the non Hall of
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Fame quarterbacks is an interesting world, and it's it's one
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: that you have to you have to get used to.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Because that's the other thing too. You know, people like as
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: far as that's or whatnot, go like, car, isn't that
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: different from Drew Brees when he came to the things, like,
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Drew Brees, wasn't this like Harold, did you know, genius quarterback?
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: When he came to the things, he was kind of
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: talked away by San Diego and people were like, ah,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: he had that one really good season and he was
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: great in college, but he hasn't really shown anything in
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: the pros and now his shoulders blown, so good luck.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: And you could look at Car the same way. You're like,
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: you know, you had seven seasons and some of them
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: were great, some were bumpy. But then also you had
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: you know, fifteen offensive coordinators whatever you know, and all that,
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: you know, all the Antonio Browns off of the John
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Rudin ship, and so many head coaches like he'd been
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: through the the the head coaching personnel version of a
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: blown shoulder. So you're like, maybe this guy could be
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: that good, and you've start to then you start to
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: wonder like could he have been that good under Peyton?
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then it kills you.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Every single Saints fan knew what was happening when he
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: stepped down. Everyone we're like, he needs to get away
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: from the organization. The salary cap is you need to
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: get away He's stressed out and tired of constantly having
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: to right the ship, even though Mickey Looms is great
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: at what he does and everyone knew he was coming back,
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: just not as a Saint. Oh it hurts, Oh it hurts.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: It does It does feel a little good to watch
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: him struggle with Denver. Not gonna lie to you, but
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: you gotta stop wondering because you can only move on, you.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Know, just got to exist in the now. I'm gonna
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna make you do this, and I'm sorry about it.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I make everybody do it. Can I get a prediction?
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: A score prediction for the game this weekend?
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: A fan, and I want to see it go, but
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: I want to win. Twenty eight to twenty seven New
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Orleans Saints.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: I love it. I think you know, you do have
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: a very good defense. The Vikings defense has been playing well.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: So I think I'm gonna go Saints thirteen. Okay, Vikings
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty eight. Sean, I I love you
