- 1:12Speaker 4: I am glad we have that outdoor motorized screen right
- 1:15Speaker 4: now because well for us like our little back patio
- 1:19Speaker 4: and we've put like a little small trampoline out there
- 1:21Speaker 4: for Harlow and she loves it and we don't have
- 1:23Speaker 4: to worry about her, you know, being out in the sun.
- 1:25Speaker 3: We don't have to worry about her going anywhere.
- 1:27Speaker 4: I mean it is It protects that area, which is
- 1:30Speaker 4: obviously very important for us, but also the living room,
- 1:33Speaker 4: and it cools down the living room. We don't have
- 1:36Speaker 4: to run the AC on full force all the time
- 1:38Speaker 4: every time because of this outdoor motorized screen that actually
- 1:41Speaker 4: helps the interior. I would not have known that, but
- 1:44Speaker 4: thankfully Brandon Barton and the team have been in it
- 1:45Speaker 4: since four they know exactly what you need KTZ Blinds
- 1:49Speaker 4: dot com.
- 1:51Speaker 3: All right, we got what we wanted. What do we want?
- 1:55Speaker 4: We wanted an OTB NBA Finals and we got it.
- 2:00Speaker 4: The San Antonio Spurs outlast the Oklahoma City Thunder in
- 2:03Speaker 4: seven games. They went on their court, and now it
- 2:07Speaker 4: sets up the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knickerbockers.
- 2:12Speaker 4: It is Wednesday, right, is Wednesday? First game? I mean,
- 2:17Speaker 4: I feel like the Knicks haven't played a month. Yeah,
- 2:20Speaker 4: I mean because I mean they yeah, I mean, with
- 2:22Speaker 4: four games and then this one goes seven, it feels
- 2:24Speaker 4: like they have played in a month. But we talked
- 2:28Speaker 4: about this pretty early in the playoffs, like it wasn't
- 2:31Speaker 4: just like last round.
- 2:34Speaker 3: You know, the NBA's.
- 2:35Speaker 4: Fired up to have the Knicks and the largest market,
- 2:39Speaker 4: one of the you know, the franchises that has certainly like,
- 2:42Speaker 4: you know, the biggest fan base, one of the most
- 2:44Speaker 4: valuable franchises in sports. And then they've got the all
- 2:48Speaker 4: star young team with the Alien on their team and
- 2:51Speaker 4: women Yamba that this is what they would want, they
- 2:55Speaker 4: would want these two teams matching up.
- 2:58Speaker 3: In the finals.
- 2:59Speaker 4: I think it's a great, great thing for the NBA,
- 3:01Speaker 4: and you know, a league that is trying to continue
- 3:04Speaker 4: to find viewership, they're gonna get something. These these final
- 3:08Speaker 4: numbers on TV gonna be pretty big.
- 3:10Speaker 5: I mean, good for the Spurs, you know they they
- 3:12Speaker 5: they never really had a dynasty before, so it's good
- 3:14Speaker 5: that they give.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Yeah, that just had a pretty big little drought there.
- 3:19Speaker 5: Uh.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Now, so I.
- 3:20Speaker 5: Watched I was locked in game seven. It was awesome. Yeah,
- 3:24Speaker 5: so y'all told me, you know, tall, this wimby fellow
- 3:28Speaker 5: was taller than advertise.
- 3:30Speaker 6: He's pretty tall.
- 3:32Speaker 5: And just like we talked about before the show chat
- 3:35Speaker 5: Holme Grin certified cankel.
- 3:37Speaker 6: But in the direction of.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Just because it's a cankle doesn't mean us to be big.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Just the same sounds as the calf.
- 3:44Speaker 6: He has a skinny tinkle.
- 3:45Speaker 5: He has a skinny cankle. The calf actually might be
- 3:47Speaker 5: a little bit skinnier than the crazy.
- 3:50Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like I could break him in half.
- 3:55Speaker 5: From the eyeball test, two things came to mind. Huh
- 3:59Speaker 5: when he's shockingly large, yeah, and chet was shockingly skinny. Right,
- 4:04Speaker 5: those two things just jumped off the screen.
- 4:06Speaker 6: I mean, you got to think about all the guys
- 4:08Speaker 6: around Wimby are like six six six five and they
- 4:12Speaker 6: look tiny next to day like little boys. Yeah, they
- 4:14Speaker 6: look small.
- 4:15Speaker 2: Small boys, small boy.
- 4:18Speaker 7: Okay, see, you may have a chet home problem here
- 4:20Speaker 7: in the future, like the guys on not the smallest
- 4:23Speaker 7: contract in the world. You drafted him to be a
- 4:26Speaker 7: offensive wing. He had four points and it gotta have
- 4:29Speaker 7: a game seven. He wasn't aggressive the entire series.
- 4:32Speaker 2: Like it was.
- 4:32Speaker 3: It was a bad It was the worst matchup possible.
- 4:35Speaker 2: It was him.
- 4:35Speaker 4: Yeah, it was because like they were trying to like
- 4:39Speaker 4: he was having to try to guard Wimby and.
- 4:41Speaker 2: That a good matchup for anybody.
- 4:43Speaker 4: No, No, but like those two kind of get compared
- 4:46Speaker 4: to each other because of their height. Yeah, and you
- 4:50Speaker 4: know they they both can really shoot, and there's you know,
- 4:52Speaker 4: they can play on the wing. So there's not really
- 4:54Speaker 4: two like them. And so like he's just a great
- 4:57Speaker 4: value version though this is kind of a joke, that's
- 5:00Speaker 4: what he is. And so you know, it's it's a
- 5:02Speaker 4: bad look for him, yeah, right, whenever you know, whenever
- 5:05Speaker 4: the high price goes against the great value version.
- 5:10Speaker 6: This was like a joke that was kind of going
- 5:11Speaker 6: around online. But I do think that there's like a
- 5:13Speaker 6: lot of truth to it, where they were like, Chet's
- 5:15Speaker 6: gonna participate in whatever mental game Wimby has going on
- 5:18Speaker 6: on him, like, and Chet was not at all like
- 5:21Speaker 6: Wimby has that. I mean, there's the videos I've been
- 5:25Speaker 6: going around online where like Sga got the MVP right
- 5:29Speaker 6: in front of him during Game one, and then the
- 5:31Speaker 6: Chet stuff from when they were younger, and they'll ask
- 5:34Speaker 6: Chet like, do you think there's a beef between you
- 5:36Speaker 6: and Wimby? And He's like, we're just playing basketball, Like
- 5:38Speaker 6: I don't think there's a beef, But Wimby's telling himself
- 5:40Speaker 6: like there's a beef between me and Chet, and I'm
- 5:43Speaker 6: out for like blood. And I don't think Chet had
- 5:46Speaker 6: that same mentality or mindset. He didn't have the chip
- 5:49Speaker 6: on his shoes.
- 5:51Speaker 2: Really. Yeah, but the great ones do that, right, That's.
- 5:54Speaker 6: What I'm saying, Like you have to participate in whatever
- 5:57Speaker 6: mental game that Wimby was playing versus check and it
- 6:00Speaker 6: was a joke, but like, I do think that there's
- 6:02Speaker 6: truth to that, because, like you said, all the great
- 6:04Speaker 6: ones do it. Like when we were talking about Aaron Rodgers,
- 6:07Speaker 6: like all the great ones hold a grudge, all of
- 6:08Speaker 6: them got a little chip on their shoulder. Everybody has
- 6:10Speaker 6: something that motivates them, and Chet did not have that.
- 6:13Speaker 6: Like Wimby's like they'd ask him. He's like, I don't know,
- 6:16Speaker 6: I think you're asking the wrong person. Ask Wimby.
- 6:18Speaker 5: Yeah, they all hold a grudge and when they say it,
- 6:21Speaker 5: you're like, and it makes everybody go, I don't think
- 6:25Speaker 5: that's a valid, valid argument that you have there.
- 6:27Speaker 3: But it doesn't matter because to them, to you, yeah.
- 6:29Speaker 5: They were slided or they pissed you off, and it
- 6:32Speaker 5: doesn't matter if it's like real or not.
- 6:35Speaker 3: Right, he's on.
- 6:36Speaker 7: It's hungry as Chetty, Like Chet's just coming off of
- 6:38Speaker 7: a championship cho he No, he don't look Yeah, he
- 6:43Speaker 7: don't look like he's eating a bite in years year.
- 6:45Speaker 3: Looks like he's missed a lot of mills.
- 6:47Speaker 5: Uh huh, you know, my god. They looks like he
- 6:51Speaker 5: just had the tallest bike on the Tour de France.
- 6:57Speaker 4: Uh.
- 6:57Speaker 7: This match up there, man, Like, I think it's great
- 7:01Speaker 7: for both because like we saw how good the Knicks
- 7:03Speaker 7: were coming off that four game sweep in the semi finals, right,
- 7:06Speaker 7: like Jake, you and I talked about it was like,
- 7:07Speaker 7: is that gonna help them?
- 7:08Speaker 2: Or hurt them.
- 7:08Speaker 7: Clearly, it helped them because they swept the Cavs again.
- 7:11Speaker 7: And then if you're the Spurs, you're the young team,
- 7:13Speaker 7: you're the hungry team. You probably just want to keep
- 7:15Speaker 7: this thing going. Yeah, Like I feel like if the
- 7:17Speaker 7: Spurs had a longer layoff, they're young, they're inexperienced, that
- 7:20Speaker 7: would hurt them more so. Like the fact that they
- 7:23Speaker 7: just got down with their series. The Knicks are veterans,
- 7:25Speaker 7: they've gotten to rest a little bit. I think you're
- 7:27Speaker 7: gonna see boat teams a games. Like I'm excited because
- 7:31Speaker 7: it's a little bit different, Like not a ton of
- 7:34Speaker 7: size for the Knicks, right, they play very big team basketball.
- 7:36Speaker 7: And then if you're the Spurs, it's an inside out game.
- 7:39Speaker 7: You gotta winby down low. He draws attention, he kicks
- 7:42Speaker 7: it out to the shooters. Like, I think there is
- 7:44Speaker 7: a big, big matchup yere Spurs offense versus Knicks defense.
- 7:49Speaker 2: I think that's a matchup to watch.
- 7:51Speaker 6: It's gonna be so fun.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Like I was trying to give this.
- 7:54Speaker 5: Guy credit last week, No Wemby out and said, if
- 7:57Speaker 5: they win the finals, to see when the NBA, like
- 8:00Speaker 5: the next eight years and y'all held me back a
- 8:03Speaker 5: little bit, and I was watching this game and I'm like,
- 8:07Speaker 5: what human on earth can stop that?
- 8:09Speaker 6: Dude, I mean that's fair, It's pretty like it just
- 8:14Speaker 6: feels so heavy.
- 8:14Speaker 5: I think the after watching what I just watched, y'all
- 8:17Speaker 5: wanted to set the over under it two and a
- 8:19Speaker 5: half MVPs in a row after the if they win
- 8:22Speaker 5: the finals, I'm I'm going at least a three and
- 8:27Speaker 5: a half. Yea, that's so he's winning. If they win
- 8:30Speaker 5: the finals at least, then now he's a.
- 8:33Speaker 2: He's almost a lock.
- 8:34Speaker 5: Next year, he's a lock next year probably a lot
- 8:37Speaker 5: unless there's injury.
- 8:38Speaker 6: And like we've been talking about it, what's so exciting
- 8:41Speaker 6: about the Spurs is like how young they are. Everyone's
- 8:44Speaker 6: like in their second third year, like their first year.
- 8:47Speaker 6: Like Dylan Harper is awesome like around him, yes, and
- 8:51Speaker 6: so like that's the exciting part to me. And so
- 8:54Speaker 6: to your point, yes, I do think that the Spurs
- 8:56Speaker 6: are going to continue to be successful down the line.
- 8:59Speaker 6: And we were talking this weekend, like when I was
- 9:01Speaker 6: at the dude, Rivers told somebody how I have that
- 9:04Speaker 6: Wimby card and they were like, what are you doing here?
- 9:08Speaker 6: Like you can go sell it for like a bunch
- 9:10Speaker 6: of money, and I was like, no, no, I'm keeping it
- 9:12Speaker 6: because I know this dude's about to go and win
- 9:14Speaker 6: like at least three to four more MVPs after this.
- 9:17Speaker 4: And that is like I honestly, Elandra I would hold
- 9:21Speaker 4: only that card for a while.
- 9:22Speaker 6: I'm holding onto it. Yeah, I decide in.
- 9:23Speaker 4: Years down the road, you're gonna be like, yeah, like
- 9:28Speaker 4: I'm go buy a car like eight MVPs and we're
- 9:30Speaker 4: gonna be like, is he better than Jordan?
- 9:32Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're gonna be like, well, probably.
- 9:35Speaker 6: It's kind of unreal.
- 9:36Speaker 3: So he's not really Anthony Nato.
- 9:40Speaker 6: He set me up for and that's what they're like,
- 9:43Speaker 6: he just gave it to you, And I was like,
- 9:44Speaker 6: I'm sure he's fine. He had like a briefcase full
- 9:46Speaker 6: of cards. I'm sure it wasn't his only Wimby card
- 9:49Speaker 6: he had. He wouldn't have just like given it to me.
- 9:51Speaker 4: I'll tell you this, there's a card of Whimy's that
- 9:56Speaker 4: I had and cares it is what it is, so
- 9:59Speaker 4: for like nine feel like him fifty bucks a good card.
- 10:01Speaker 4: You know that same card just sold last week like
- 10:06Speaker 4: seventy five hundred in this and I'm talking about I
- 10:09Speaker 4: sold this windy card like right before basketball season, just
- 10:13Speaker 4: right before. That's how crazy his market is. Yeah, you
- 10:17Speaker 4: know it's already pretty high. Yeah, it was already high.
- 10:20Speaker 3: But now it's like it's topping in the hobby.
- 10:24Speaker 5: This might be like and he's super actually might be like,
- 10:27Speaker 5: this might be the time to suck because it's going
- 10:30Speaker 5: to top out at some point here.
- 10:31Speaker 3: Pretty same, I'm saying.
- 10:32Speaker 4: But I'm saying, but if Alane is not going to
- 10:34Speaker 4: do it right now, if she's not going to do
- 10:36Speaker 4: it right now, you need to do it right now
- 10:38Speaker 4: or you hold it for ten years.
- 10:39Speaker 6: I'm holding it for a while.
- 10:40Speaker 2: It's not gonna matter.
- 10:42Speaker 3: He's not going anywhere.
- 10:44Speaker 5: Value you all right in the chat to everyone's like
- 10:48Speaker 5: he's what's funny is like you you look at him
- 10:52Speaker 5: and he looks tall and skinny.
- 10:55Speaker 2: Dude strong. Yeah, and he's not soft. He's not Sharman. No,
- 10:59Speaker 2: that was a difference in the series. He's ready, he's
- 11:03Speaker 2: ready to go to battles like Hartenstein Fight Defender.
- 11:06Speaker 7: He gave him a little bit, but he's also giving
- 11:08Speaker 7: up six inches of height against that guy, Like you
- 11:10Speaker 7: can only do so much.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Well, he's only seven foot what are you gonna do?
- 11:16Speaker 4: How many times that man's life he's heard he's only
- 11:18Speaker 4: seven foot tall, seven.
- 11:21Speaker 7: Foot defensive post player, you can stop anybody. And he's like,
- 11:24Speaker 7: you're giving up about five to six inches there but
- 11:26Speaker 7: down there, So, uh, not a great matchup for you.
- 11:29Speaker 2: The Knicks, though, they play great team defense, that's the
- 11:32Speaker 2: thing about them.
- 11:33Speaker 4: So the Spurs are third in offense, the Knicks are
- 11:36Speaker 4: fifth and defense in the NBA for the regular season
- 11:38Speaker 4: right there, and then in the postseason it's been really
- 11:42Speaker 4: even better, so that the Knicks have had the top
- 11:45Speaker 4: defense in the postseason in the NBA, and the Spurs
- 11:49Speaker 4: been third in offense, but the Knicks have been number
- 11:51Speaker 4: one in offense too. They're won in offense one and
- 11:54Speaker 4: defense in the postseason. Now I look more at the
- 11:56Speaker 4: regular season. It's a bigger sample size. So you're getting
- 11:59Speaker 4: a great offense against a great defense, and this is
- 12:01Speaker 4: gonna be a great finals.
- 12:03Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's gonna be so good.
- 12:04Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Do you have found a way? I mean, you guys
- 12:07Speaker 2: know I love Jalen Brunson.
- 12:08Speaker 7: The Nicks have found a way to hide Jalen Brunson defensively,
- 12:11Speaker 7: He's not a great defensive player, but hasn't mattered because
- 12:14Speaker 7: Bridges is a great defensive player. Josh Hart's a great
- 12:16Speaker 7: defensive player. I mean, look, you look at all the
- 12:18Speaker 7: guys around him. I mean, Karl Anthony Towns has stepped
- 12:21Speaker 7: up and played good defense. They found a way to
- 12:23Speaker 7: work around that hadn't mattered. I mean, if basically, now
- 12:28Speaker 7: you do your best to shut down winby down low,
- 12:30Speaker 7: I trust the rest of the Knicks to get out
- 12:33Speaker 7: on the shooters.
- 12:33Speaker 5: And you just talked about how the Knicks played really
- 12:36Speaker 5: good team defense. But like unless they're gonna be like
- 12:39Speaker 5: the little rascals and like get on some one shoulders.
- 12:43Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 12:44Speaker 6: Uh.
- 12:44Speaker 4: Mitchell Robinson from Shall Matt I know, he broke his finger,
- 12:48Speaker 4: had surgery. He's going to play in this finals. They're
- 12:51Speaker 4: gonna ask him to try to come in and be
- 12:53Speaker 4: the enforcer and win.
- 12:54Speaker 2: That's gonna be his role.
- 12:55Speaker 3: That's gonna be his role for this.
- 12:56Speaker 6: As somebody who was unsure about Mitch Johnson last season,
- 13:00Speaker 6: because I felt like even last season they had such
- 13:03Speaker 6: a good roster and at times I felt like it
- 13:06Speaker 6: was a little mismanaged. But somebody that was like critical
- 13:08Speaker 6: of him and unsure about Mitch Johnson. I love the
- 13:11Speaker 6: way that he's been coaching.
- 13:13Speaker 3: Yeah, like he is very neat.
- 13:15Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he really sets his players up for success,
- 13:18Speaker 6: and I think that they all really really have a
- 13:20Speaker 6: good relationship with him. So it's been fun to watch
- 13:23Speaker 6: him on the court as well. And yes, I was
- 13:29Speaker 6: very unsure about him, but now like he's obviously.
- 13:32Speaker 3: Won me over.
- 13:33Speaker 7: Well, think about it, Think about Mike Brown, think about
- 13:35Speaker 7: the think about the other side of that, right, Mike
- 13:37Speaker 7: Brown's been a journeyman head coach. You fired Tom Thibodeaux
- 13:40Speaker 7: after making the conference finals because you said our roster's
- 13:44Speaker 7: too good to lose in the conference finals, and I
- 13:47Speaker 7: was like, why the hell would you do that?
- 13:48Speaker 3: I was with you.
- 13:49Speaker 7: It's paid all for him in a big way. I mean,
- 13:50Speaker 7: eleven straight playoff wins. Like, it's incredible, what Mike. What
- 13:54Speaker 7: Mike Brown's done up with the Knicks as well?
- 13:57Speaker 3: Looking forward to it is the team OTV the NBA Finals.
- 14:02Speaker 5: Let's go any think the vibes. The scenes were in
- 14:04Speaker 5: San Antonio, Texas.
- 14:05Speaker 2: I can tell you my mother and sister were there.
- 14:08Speaker 3: I was like a little.
- 14:12Speaker 6: All the videos were like insane, like guys like I really,
- 14:18Speaker 6: when I tell you, the fomo that I get watching
- 14:20Speaker 6: these videos is I can't even explain it, Like I
- 14:23Speaker 6: should be in San Antonio right now. I need to
- 14:27Speaker 6: be in San Antonio.
- 14:27Speaker 2: My sister face times me.
- 14:29Speaker 7: It's about eleven fifteen, and she goes, hey, if you're sleep, sorry,
- 14:33Speaker 7: I wanted to wake you up because I can't go
- 14:35Speaker 7: to sleep. And she goes to the hotel window and
- 14:37Speaker 7: it's just horn talk and she shows me the video.
- 14:40Speaker 7: It's people on the street. She was like, yeah, I
- 14:43Speaker 7: don't know why my mom went down there. She was
- 14:44Speaker 7: we didn't realize that it had uh it had overlapped.
- 14:47Speaker 7: And the Spurs played Game seven tonight.
- 14:49Speaker 2: It was cool, though.
- 14:50Speaker 3: That's good.
- 14:51Speaker 5: So I'm not even gonna pretend like I know exactly
- 14:53Speaker 5: what a lot of this means. But I just saw
- 14:55Speaker 5: someone in the chest in and I just looked it up.
- 14:57Speaker 5: The Spurs also control like nine or ten and plus
- 15:00Speaker 5: first round picks in the next five years.
- 15:03Speaker 6: They've been even like in the last couple yeah, I
- 15:06Speaker 6: would say like the last three or four years they've
- 15:07Speaker 6: been pretty fortunate with the draft.
- 15:11Speaker 7: Depend on what they do with their roster, like in
- 15:12Speaker 7: my opinion, they're gonna trade deeron Fox in the off
- 15:14Speaker 7: season because you have so much younger talent you could
- 15:17Speaker 7: get it for You probably get a second rounder at
- 15:20Speaker 7: this point for deeron Fox, Like he's great, but there's
- 15:23Speaker 7: a lot of young talent on that team.
- 15:24Speaker 2: He's about to be thirty.
- 15:26Speaker 7: You would have built around Wenby like you're probably gonna
- 15:28Speaker 7: move on from him, so that they could potentially get
- 15:30Speaker 7: him even another pick.
- 15:30Speaker 5: And again, good for the Spurs fan base that have
- 15:34Speaker 5: really stuck it out through their life, gone through some
- 15:38Speaker 5: hard times, trials and tribulations to get to have this happen.
- 15:43Speaker 5: It's good they deserve it was like it was like
- 15:45Speaker 5: a few years with at least a handful of years
- 15:47Speaker 5: it was at least ten with no playoffs.
- 15:50Speaker 2: Nah, at least before they had like a bona fide dynasty.
- 15:56Speaker 2: I think they said this morning, twelve years since the
- 15:58Speaker 2: last finals appearance.
- 16:00Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I didn't feel like it's been that long.
- 16:01Speaker 2: I don't know if they won it that year. Twelve
- 16:04Speaker 2: years into those finals appearance, I.
- 16:07Speaker 3: Mean, poor thing, I mean whatever, this is the finals
- 16:10Speaker 3: that last time.
- 16:11Speaker 4: In the next win, they was, yeah, it was ninety
- 16:13Speaker 4: nine yeah, and they were in eight seed out of
- 16:16Speaker 4: the I think they did.
- 16:17Speaker 7: Win that was that the The last one was when
- 16:19Speaker 7: they won against Lebron and the heat right it was
- 16:21Speaker 7: fourteen Yeah, maybe yeah, that would have been the last time.
- 16:24Speaker 2: They went and that's that's the one they won.
- 16:28Speaker 4: Either way, looking forward to it, cannot wait. It's gonna
- 16:30Speaker 4: be a lot of fun. All Right, we will step away. Uh,
- 16:34Speaker 4: the New Orleans Saints had their mini mini camp oh
- 16:37Speaker 4: TA situation, so you get a chance to see the
- 16:40Speaker 4: new players for the first time. One of the big
- 16:43Speaker 4: free agent signings certainly was impressive and somebody that you

- 18:36Speaker 1: buying you Automotive.
- 18:42Speaker 3: I'm sure you've heard it all before, but you never really.
- 18:45Speaker 6: Had it out.
- 18:47Speaker 9: I don't believe that anybody feels the.
- 18:51Speaker 1: Way I to about you now.
- 18:58Speaker 5: And all the lords.
- 19:01Speaker 3: Winding Day.
- 19:10Speaker 4: All right, welcome back in OTB here live from the
- 19:14Speaker 4: Raising Kines Studio again our Mountain daye shows, brought to
- 19:16Speaker 4: you by by you Automotive, Vyue Automotive dot Com, Ford, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram.
- 19:22Speaker 4: They've got it all, including those black Widow packages as well.
- 19:25Speaker 4: Go check them out by you Automotive dot Com. All right, So,
- 19:32Speaker 4: the New Orleans Saints had some OTAs over the last
- 19:35Speaker 4: couple of days of last week. We were talking about
- 19:38Speaker 4: kind of previewing where they got Nick Underhill last week.
- 19:41Speaker 3: We'll catch up again with him tomorrow.
- 19:44Speaker 4: But one of the players that stood out was their
- 19:46Speaker 4: big free agent signing, guard David Edwards they brought over
- 19:50Speaker 4: from the Buffalo Bills. Now, we have talked about the
- 19:53Speaker 4: interior of the Saints offensive line for a long time
- 19:56Speaker 4: here on this show, because well, if you have bad
- 19:59Speaker 4: tackle there's a place for the quarterback to go. If
- 20:01Speaker 4: you have bad guards, there's nowhere for the quarterback to
- 20:04Speaker 4: step up. You have to be able to solidify the
- 20:08Speaker 4: interior of your offensive line. And look, when Eric McCoy's
- 20:11Speaker 4: in there, that happens. But he has gone through some
- 20:13Speaker 4: injuries over the last couple of years, and so you
- 20:17Speaker 4: started to have some backup situations at the center position.
- 20:21Speaker 4: And last year I thought they actually did a nice
- 20:23Speaker 4: job of having some guys step up and fill in.
- 20:25Speaker 4: But they had to go somewhere bigger and better at
- 20:29Speaker 4: guard because you're right guard, Caesar Ruiz, he might not
- 20:33Speaker 4: even be the starter by the time we get to
- 20:36Speaker 4: the middle portion of the year. I mean, they draft
- 20:38Speaker 4: Jeremiah right in the fourth round, and I think he's
- 20:41Speaker 4: got a real opportunity to go out there and compete
- 20:44Speaker 4: for a job. And so you had to solidify things.
- 20:47Speaker 4: You had to get somebody in the interior of your
- 20:49Speaker 4: offensive front. I think was a great move by the
- 20:52Speaker 4: New Orleans Saints whenever it happened. And again, he was
- 20:55Speaker 4: already kind of standing out there in training camp or
- 20:59Speaker 4: sorry mini camp ota situations getting ready for training camp.
- 21:03Speaker 4: And I know sometimes it's not like the sexiest signing
- 21:07Speaker 4: when you go left guard as being your top guy,
- 21:11Speaker 4: but the Saints desperately needed help there.
- 21:14Speaker 2: Yeah, the offensive line is a point of emphasis for
- 21:18Speaker 2: the Saints.
- 21:18Speaker 9: Now.
- 21:18Speaker 5: There's lots of points of emphasis for the Saints coming
- 21:21Speaker 5: off of a season a year ago, and you got
- 21:26Speaker 5: to hope that unless there's substantial improvement, you got to
- 21:29Speaker 5: hope that Caesaries is not the starter by mid season
- 21:33Speaker 5: next year, because you can't continue to have a repeat
- 21:36Speaker 5: of the performance that he put on tape last year.
- 21:40Speaker 5: Not to say that everything was bad, but we saw
- 21:43Speaker 5: everybody saw the low lights of and I'm not to
- 21:47Speaker 5: say that he's not talented enough to make the improvements
- 21:52Speaker 5: right within that system, and I hope that he does.
- 21:55Speaker 5: But I think if he was sitting in this room,
- 21:59Speaker 5: he would tell you that he had games and plays
- 22:02Speaker 5: and he just wasn't consistent enough to be a valued
- 22:06Speaker 5: starting guard in the NFL.
- 22:09Speaker 2: Now.
- 22:09Speaker 5: So that's that's the improvement. Like we we hope that
- 22:11Speaker 5: he improves, that'd be great. But if he doesn't improve,
- 22:14Speaker 5: we got to hope that he's not the guy. And
- 22:17Speaker 5: that's you know, that that's you know, trying my best
- 22:20Speaker 5: not to like take a straight up shot at him.
- 22:22Speaker 5: I guess that's just the reality of the world. That's
- 22:25Speaker 5: reality of sports, reality of business. Everything right, But the
- 22:30Speaker 5: offensive line is certainly a point of emphasis and if
- 22:32Speaker 5: they can just get better, and I think they did
- 22:34Speaker 5: with that trade, and they're they're doing the right thing.
- 22:37Speaker 5: Like every move that Mickey and the and the team
- 22:39Speaker 5: made was pretty much the right move. Like it was like, yeah,
- 22:44Speaker 5: that makes sense to me. That is a good move.
- 22:47Speaker 5: That's a good player. This all makes sense.
- 22:50Speaker 3: I agree.
- 22:51Speaker 5: And it all comes back to like you got the
- 22:54Speaker 5: you got the lynch pin, like you got the keystone
- 22:56Speaker 5: of the team, which is who you believe is your quarterback.
- 22:59Speaker 5: Now everything now you can focus on everything else, right, yep,
- 23:03Speaker 5: And you focus everything else in free agency, it's a
- 23:05Speaker 5: lot easier to sell.
- 23:06Speaker 2: It's a lot easier to sell people in trades.
- 23:08Speaker 5: And to come back to your team wanted to come
- 23:10Speaker 5: back when you have that one position solidified because there
- 23:15Speaker 5: removes a lot of question marks on the team. Well
- 23:17Speaker 5: where are you going as a franchise, where are you
- 23:18Speaker 5: going to you don't even have a quarterback, Like, it
- 23:20Speaker 5: removes a lot of those questions.
- 23:21Speaker 3: So it's it is.
- 23:25Speaker 5: I mean, it's an exciting time because you know your
- 23:27Speaker 5: Saints aren't going to be a super Bowl favorite this year.
- 23:30Speaker 5: There's nobody's saying that way, but they have made all
- 23:34Speaker 5: the right moves to make Saints fans hopeful. Now you
- 23:36Speaker 5: just got to stay healthy and you have to make
- 23:39Speaker 5: good on all these good off season moves. You have
- 23:42Speaker 5: to Kellimore and company have to establish good game plans,
- 23:45Speaker 5: they have to execute, they have to play call well,
- 23:47Speaker 5: he's got it. Kella Moore's got to get better as
- 23:49Speaker 5: a head coach. And just like the game management as well,
- 23:52Speaker 5: like being able to call plays and manage the game
- 23:55Speaker 5: like they all it's the second year for everybody, right,
- 23:58Speaker 5: all of that is going to improve. So a lot
- 24:01Speaker 5: of things will be hopeful for I think they can
- 24:04Speaker 5: make a splash, they can make some turn some heads.
- 24:06Speaker 5: They can be at least in the playoff hunt midway
- 24:10Speaker 5: through the season, right, Like, that's that's what you hope for. Yeah,
- 24:13Speaker 5: for sure, they're not going to be eight and one
- 24:17Speaker 5: halfway through, but they're but five and four. They're five
- 24:20Speaker 5: and four. You're like, all right, yeah, you know they're
- 24:22Speaker 5: They're it's not the best division in the world. So
- 24:24Speaker 5: like they are going to be hunting a playoff spot
- 24:26Speaker 5: this year like it or not, believe it or not,
- 24:29Speaker 5: They're gonna be hunting one.
- 24:32Speaker 2: How close the hunt is well remains to be seen.
- 24:34Speaker 2: It's going to come down to that.
- 24:36Speaker 5: It's going to come down to two or three drives
- 24:39Speaker 5: in the season to see if you make that playoffs.
- 24:41Speaker 3: So I'm right there with you. I think the NFC
- 24:44Speaker 3: South is still very much up for grabs.
- 24:46Speaker 4: I do think every team did a pretty nice job
- 24:48Speaker 4: of improving for the most part as well. Now Land
- 24:53Speaker 4: in their quarterback situation to a tongue of by Lowell
- 24:55Speaker 4: Michael Pennis Junior, like they've got maybe the most playmakers.
- 24:58Speaker 4: But I don't know that that's going to be the
- 25:00Speaker 4: perfect storm for them to put them with that set
- 25:02Speaker 4: of quarterbacks. But I do think everybody made moves to
- 25:05Speaker 4: try to go out there and get better. So it's
- 25:08Speaker 4: gonna be interesting to see how it plays out. But
- 25:10Speaker 4: like right now, think about how many times last year
- 25:13Speaker 4: we talked about the Saints and eleven personnel and who
- 25:16Speaker 4: was out there on the field when they were out there.
- 25:18Speaker 4: Right now, if you ran eleven personnel out there, you're
- 25:20Speaker 4: gonna have Jordan Tyson.
- 25:22Speaker 3: Chris Olave, Devon Valley out at receiver.
- 25:24Speaker 4: You'll have Juwan Johnson at tight end. From left to
- 25:27Speaker 4: right on the offensive front. You'll have Banks, Edwards McCoy
- 25:30Speaker 4: reeves in Pruaga. Then you'll have Tyler Schuckert quarterback, and
- 25:33Speaker 4: you'll have Travis a chan At running back. How much
- 25:37Speaker 4: better does that sound than where you ended this season?
- 25:42Speaker 4: Or you had just guys off the street. And I'm
- 25:45Speaker 4: not talking about like the last game. I'm not talking
- 25:47Speaker 4: about Week eighteen. I'm talking about like week thirteen through eighteen,
- 25:51Speaker 4: where you had guys, you know, Mason Tipton and Bubb
- 25:56Speaker 4: Means and Kevin Austin, I mean.
- 26:01Speaker 6: Both of them.
- 26:01Speaker 7: Was always gonna say, Jake, you left out Charlie Bill,
- 26:04Speaker 7: He's going to be in there somewhat.
- 26:05Speaker 4: Jake and Dries who ended up doing okay. It's completely
- 26:11Speaker 4: different than loving personnel right now.
- 26:12Speaker 5: He and the one similarity you are going to have
- 26:15Speaker 5: is the one guy that was playing with all those
- 26:17Speaker 5: Zuber drivers was Chris Lave and playing his ass off.
- 26:20Speaker 2: He was right, and uh so you.
- 26:22Speaker 5: Put him up, you pair him with that number eight
- 26:25Speaker 5: overall pick. It's only going to help, right, So stay healthy.
- 26:29Speaker 5: Can we go ahead and sign that contract already?
- 26:32Speaker 3: Yes?
- 26:32Speaker 2: Uh put that to rest a little bit.
- 26:35Speaker 3: I have a lot of respect for Chryslave last year,
- 26:37Speaker 3: I did.
- 26:37Speaker 5: Too, and like we didn't have it before, and we
- 26:40Speaker 5: certainly set our our share on this show of I'm
- 26:45Speaker 5: not like against alive, just like saying like he had
- 26:48Speaker 5: he's not the traditional number one guy from a skill set,
- 26:51Speaker 5: from a from the president size standpoint, not the traditional
- 26:55Speaker 5: number one, but like his stats don't lie on that,
- 26:58Speaker 5: Like like he had this, thats of a bona fide
- 27:01Speaker 5: number one.
- 27:02Speaker 4: And again I give him all the respect because he
- 27:05Speaker 4: was out there playing his butt off when there wasn't
- 27:07Speaker 4: a lot of reason to and you might say, well, yeah,
- 27:09Speaker 4: he's a pro.
- 27:10Speaker 3: You think that that's out there to do that.
- 27:13Speaker 5: And it did come out like you know, the year
- 27:16Speaker 5: before with a little bit of injury and then early
- 27:18Speaker 5: in the season last year not making a couple of plays.
- 27:21Speaker 6: I mean Derek Carr was trying to kill him. Yeah,
- 27:24Speaker 6: when they were playing together.
- 27:25Speaker 5: Yeah, it didn't make a couple but he didn't make
- 27:26Speaker 5: a couple of plays early on. It didn't look like
- 27:32Speaker 5: I don't want to It didn't look like it like
- 27:34Speaker 5: the care was there, Yeah, on trying to make the play.
- 27:37Speaker 5: But then like you watch him the rest of no,
- 27:39Speaker 5: he's just he's his body, that's his body movement, that's
- 27:41Speaker 5: his body language. Obviously he cares yeah and played well.
- 27:45Speaker 5: And then Juwan Johnson like he couldn't make a catch
- 27:48Speaker 5: for for Rattler, but man, he kind of plays ass
- 27:50Speaker 5: off for sure.
- 27:51Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 27:52Speaker 5: Absolutely, so like he heared he you saw the reason why.
- 27:56Speaker 5: It was like okay, like I get why they gave
- 27:58Speaker 5: him that contract. So hopefully that play can continue to
- 28:02Speaker 5: elevate because it's there's points. So I was like, my god,
- 28:05Speaker 5: is he is he catching with feet right now? He
- 28:08Speaker 5: can make the hard one, but don't you dare hit
- 28:11Speaker 5: him in the chest.
- 28:11Speaker 6: Adam Feelds is asking about Kendre Miller in the chat,
- 28:16Speaker 6: and I think that I thought last season before injury,
- 28:20Speaker 6: that he was set to have a good season and
- 28:22Speaker 6: maybe like a breakout season if you want to call it.
- 28:24Speaker 6: That this season is going to be. You got to
- 28:29Speaker 6: stay healthy, for one and you need to prove yourself
- 28:32Speaker 6: in this season, Kendre Miller, because since you've been drafted,
- 28:36Speaker 6: like it just hasn't really been what people wanted it
- 28:40Speaker 6: to be. But I think it's there. It's just a
- 28:42Speaker 6: matter of like stay healthy.
- 28:45Speaker 2: And he did have some flashes last he did yeah, dude,
- 28:49Speaker 2: he was a second third round pick, I mean.
- 28:54Speaker 6: Drafted, but I mean you just you can't count on like, yes, well,
- 28:58Speaker 6: that's what I'm saying, is that, like this, if this
- 29:01Speaker 6: is your proven season for Kendre Miller, it should have
- 29:04Speaker 6: been last season. But I'll give you grace for an injury, but.
- 29:08Speaker 4: I like.
- 29:10Speaker 5: For him, Yes, yeah, he doesn't have to be he
- 29:14Speaker 5: can be that just the off speed pitch that comes
- 29:16Speaker 5: in that looks a little bit different, and so this
- 29:20Speaker 5: could be the best thing for him.
- 29:21Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, we'll see what his role is this year.
- 29:24Speaker 7: It might be a little tough for him because, like,
- 29:26Speaker 7: especially if you keep Camaro, which I mean I guess
- 29:28Speaker 7: it looks like they're going to, like there's no.
- 29:31Speaker 4: They had some comments last week that you know, they
- 29:35Speaker 4: were basically saying, we're trying to figure out where he
- 29:38Speaker 4: fits on this roster.
- 29:39Speaker 3: Not in this game plan.
- 29:41Speaker 4: If a game plan that tells you he's on the team,
- 29:45Speaker 4: they just don't know how they're going to utilize him.
- 29:47Speaker 4: When he said they got to figure out how to
- 29:49Speaker 4: you know, find a spot like on the roster free
- 29:51Speaker 4: k Yes, that that kind of tells you that it's
- 29:55Speaker 4: not guaranteed.
- 29:56Speaker 3: Even this late in the game that he's going to
- 29:57Speaker 3: be there.
- 29:58Speaker 7: It's it's weird though, like because we you look at
- 30:00Speaker 7: the Saints running back room like you have Travis A. Chane,
- 30:03Speaker 7: Devin Neil, I thought showed a lot of promise on
- 30:05Speaker 7: your Portrick estimate was great at the end of the year,
- 30:07Speaker 7: like whe or without ak, Like you got a healthy
- 30:11Speaker 7: running back room right now. When you.
- 30:13Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of like, where's the fit for him?
- 30:16Speaker 2: And I guess we all want to that's the kindred too.
- 30:20Speaker 7: I guess like you got you got depth in that
- 30:22Speaker 7: room now to where there's gonna be a lot of
- 30:23Speaker 7: guys fighting.
- 30:23Speaker 2: For their spot.
- 30:24Speaker 5: Wouldn't it be awful if it was, like you hear
- 30:26Speaker 5: these stories all the time. It happened to you after
- 30:29Speaker 5: the last preseason game, they're making their cuts in the
- 30:32Speaker 5: last preseason game, the backup week linebacker got hurt and
- 30:36Speaker 5: they needed they need a number standpoint, they needed another
- 30:41Speaker 5: running back in a special teams guy to make the team.
- 30:43Speaker 2: And that's the way he gets.
- 30:44Speaker 4: Good or a star linebacker fills with drug test like
- 30:47Speaker 4: in my case, it's a numbers game.
- 30:52Speaker 3: Oh, that would be awful.
- 30:53Speaker 4: That would be awful to lose you know, Ak and
- 30:56Speaker 4: what he's been for the New Orleans things like that,
- 30:57Speaker 4: but as we all know, it is a ruthless, ruthless business.
- 31:01Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 31:02Speaker 4: So, but like I said, with the wording and how
- 31:05Speaker 4: they said it, I'm like, oh, not just not guarantee
- 31:09Speaker 4: that he's not going to be there, but it's no
- 31:10Speaker 4: guaranteed that he will be there either, which is something
- 31:12Speaker 4: I think a little bit different than what our mindset
- 31:15Speaker 4: was this late into the fan base like.
- 31:16Speaker 6: To hold on to people like him and Cam Jordan
- 31:19Speaker 6: and Yah, but I think that you just gotta I
- 31:23Speaker 6: don't even think last season the production was the same
- 31:25Speaker 6: from him, No, jams As was not right, yes, And
- 31:30Speaker 6: so I think like Cam, yeah, we we talked about it,
- 31:34Speaker 6: if you could franchise tag anybody who would be and
- 31:36Speaker 6: we were like Cam Jordan. But the Ak thing, I think,
- 31:40Speaker 6: as somebody who's a huge AK fan on Saints fan like,
- 31:42Speaker 6: I think it really honestly might be time to move
- 31:45Speaker 6: on from him.
- 31:46Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 31:46Speaker 7: I mean the Saints obviously feel that as well, right
- 31:49Speaker 7: because when you look at Cam, they kept saying we
- 31:51Speaker 7: have a contract on the table for him. We didn't
- 31:53Speaker 7: draft an edge rusher high we brought in Travis a
- 31:57Speaker 7: change now, and we don't know what Alfa Kamara's roll
- 31:59Speaker 7: on this roster, so like they're they're kind of telling
- 32:01Speaker 7: you the same thing.
- 32:03Speaker 5: Yeah, I just with Cam and Alvin, it's like, come on, Saints,
- 32:07Speaker 5: let's just sign them to one year, give them a
- 32:10Speaker 5: final lap. It's not gonna make your team any worse.
- 32:13Speaker 5: Might not make it much, it might not make it better.
- 32:15Speaker 5: It's not gonna make it worse. Get the fans what
- 32:17Speaker 5: they want. I'm not gonna win the Super Bowl anyway.

- 35:53Speaker 9: Win the whole thing?
- 35:58Speaker 3: All right? Weekend winter?
- 35:59Speaker 4: First one off for me is going to be Team
- 36:02Speaker 4: USA getting ready for the World Cup. You know that
- 36:07Speaker 4: was the thing happening Anyways, you're gonna have a couple
- 36:10Speaker 4: of warm up games, some the friendlies, but they're not
- 36:13Speaker 4: real friendly because you're trying to make an impression on
- 36:16Speaker 4: the coach. The rosters are set now, you're trying to
- 36:18Speaker 4: get into the eleven there. And so Senegal was the
- 36:21Speaker 4: opponent yesterday. You win three to two. It's a really
- 36:24Speaker 4: good team that you played against. I mean, they're fourteenth
- 36:26Speaker 4: in the world. You're sixteenth in the world, and again
- 36:30Speaker 4: you beat them three to two. More importantly, Christian Polisic
- 36:33Speaker 4: had a goal and an assist. He had a little
- 36:35Speaker 4: bit of a scoring drought, So that is your best
- 36:38Speaker 4: player and he went out there.
- 36:39Speaker 3: Looks like he's in better form with Team USA.
- 36:42Speaker 4: And y'all always tell me outside of Taylor that if
- 36:47Speaker 4: USA is playing, we're rooting. Well, they're playing us. Say
- 36:51Speaker 4: the World Cup is on home soil, then get more
- 36:54Speaker 4: American than that. Okay, So I'm skiing y'all's mind, right
- 36:57Speaker 4: a little week in winter right.
- 36:58Speaker 3: One of the amp up games.
- 37:00Speaker 2: Too is.
- 37:02Speaker 6: How do you say it?
- 37:04Speaker 4: They Well, they had they had like a Jordan here
- 37:09Speaker 4: is the way that they.
- 37:11Speaker 3: They had.
- 37:11Speaker 4: I think they had a they had a friendly there. Yeah,
- 37:14Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken, I think so.
- 37:17Speaker 3: I think it was Argentina. So you've got coming up.
- 37:22Speaker 4: You have a match with Germany, like one more last
- 37:26Speaker 4: tune up, and then it's into the World Cup. I
- 37:29Speaker 4: mean the first match for USA is going to be
- 37:33Speaker 4: twelve days from now versus So one more warm up
- 37:38Speaker 4: game against Germany that's on June the sixth, and then
- 37:41Speaker 4: on June the twelfth you start group play a right,
- 37:45Speaker 4: So it is coming down the road, and I need you,
- 37:49Speaker 4: I need you to have the same patriotic I'm always
- 37:52Speaker 4: patriotic excitement that you have about every other team USA,
- 37:56Speaker 4: about team USA soccer and the World Cup on home soil.
- 38:00Speaker 2: I'll be there. I'm just not there yet.
- 38:02Speaker 4: I'm trying, That's what I'm That's the whole point I
- 38:04Speaker 4: told him, trying to ramp you up.
- 38:06Speaker 2: When does it start?
- 38:07Speaker 3: The real thing?
- 38:08Speaker 2: When day?

- 38:24Speaker 5: What does Ricky pists excellence? And ye make up every
- 38:28Speaker 5: morning piss excellence. Then to say crap, Patriot doesn't after that.
- 38:32Speaker 5: I think he says that in the outics. I heard
- 38:35Speaker 5: it somewhere, didn't think it up. He just made that
- 38:37Speaker 5: completely all right, we can winner. I didn't hear his
- 38:40Speaker 5: whole press conference. I'm gonna give one to Jameis Winston.
- 38:45Speaker 5: Oh yeah, God, he's amazing. Right, He's just like, alright,
- 38:50Speaker 5: I could listen to that man talk about anything. It's
- 38:52Speaker 5: like the ridiculous situation they had in New York with
- 38:55Speaker 5: the New York Giants with Jackson, Dart and Trump and
- 38:57Speaker 5: a dual car.
- 38:58Speaker 2: Like the ridiculousness of all this.
- 39:00Speaker 5: Yeah, guy, that's the opportunity to listen to Jameis Winston
- 39:05Speaker 5: be the voice of reason and just give some really
- 39:08Speaker 5: good talk. And again, I don't know like what he
- 39:10Speaker 5: ended up going off about, but I saw the highlights
- 39:12Speaker 5: from it, just kind of breaking it down to simple
- 39:15Speaker 5: terms like, hey, y'all making this a lot. Yeah, you
- 39:17Speaker 5: know you got this dude from this background, this other
- 39:19Speaker 5: guy from this other background, and like we can all
- 39:21Speaker 5: come together and like grown adults just talk about it.
- 39:25Speaker 2: Yeah, no one has and no one has to believe
- 39:27Speaker 2: the same thing. It's okay, and uh, just.
- 39:31Speaker 6: Set it in the most jamous way.
- 39:32Speaker 5: Possible, the most jamous way possible, Like we can win
- 39:35Speaker 5: it for me. Anytime he can get in front of
- 39:37Speaker 5: a microphone and talk about something. My god, the guy
- 39:40Speaker 5: just goes off.
- 39:41Speaker 6: And I don't even know what he was saying, honestly,
- 39:44Speaker 6: like I got the gist of it, but also like
- 39:46Speaker 6: he made no points but also made so many points
- 39:48Speaker 6: at the same time.
- 39:49Speaker 5: Yeah, it's kind of like that time that he was
- 39:51Speaker 5: given the pregame speech and like he starts talking about
- 39:54Speaker 5: like like some little boy and then like it ends
- 39:57Speaker 5: with him like singing the Monday Night football theme song
- 40:00Speaker 5: and stuff like it just goes and like, but you're
- 40:03Speaker 5: following the whole thing.
- 40:04Speaker 3: You're like, yeah, yeah, I get it.
- 40:06Speaker 6: Can you imagine Jamis on O TV?
- 40:08Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it's just it would be squirrels.
- 40:12Speaker 5: I'm watching this video. I'm not listening to I just
- 40:14Speaker 5: see him doing this. He's like painting this picture with
- 40:16Speaker 5: his hands up here.
- 40:17Speaker 2: Funny because you're you watching, You're like, I think he's
- 40:19Speaker 2: beating serious.

- 42:00Speaker 1: Bench with Hester and Flynn, presented by Buy You Automotive.
- 42:06Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in. Let's continue weekend winners. A
- 42:10Speaker 3: ladras face.
- 42:12Speaker 6: Yeah, so I have a weekend loser.
- 42:13Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and I may or may not have.
- 42:15Speaker 6: I don't think it'll be a hot take in this room,
- 42:17Speaker 6: but maybe like amongst the masses, So weekend loser for me.
- 42:21Speaker 6: Taylor's about to play this video. Trey Phelps hit a
- 42:26Speaker 6: home run to put Georgia ahead of Liberty this weekend
- 42:30Speaker 6: in the bottom of the sixth inning. And you'll see
- 42:33Speaker 6: he does a little bit of taunting. He faces, he
- 42:35Speaker 6: turns around, faces the Liberty dugout does like a little
- 42:38Speaker 6: hand sign and then like he's kind of going like
- 42:42Speaker 6: this like blah blah blah to the Liberty players. But
- 42:44Speaker 6: the Liberty players start act. To me, I feel like
- 42:48Speaker 6: they start acting like babies about it, Like they start
- 42:51Speaker 6: getting like real butt hurt, which whatever, I get it.
- 42:53Speaker 6: He's taunting, I get it. Trey Phelps gets ejected from
- 42:56Speaker 6: this game. Wes Johnson comes out.
- 42:59Speaker 2: In his.
- 43:00Speaker 6: It's so funny because it somebody said that it's kind
- 43:03Speaker 6: of like a key and peel skit, and it kind
- 43:05Speaker 6: of toward the end where he starts dancing it kind
- 43:07Speaker 6: of and like then he just went like he made
- 43:09Speaker 6: it rain into Yeah, he did a lot, So he
- 43:13Speaker 6: gets ejected. Wes Johnson is upset about him getting ejected,
- 43:17Speaker 6: and then Wes Johnson gets ejected, So that happens right
- 43:21Speaker 6: to me. The weekend losers in this are the Liberty
- 43:25Speaker 6: players for crying the way that they cried about it,
- 43:29Speaker 6: and then the umpires for ejecting. And here's where like
- 43:33Speaker 6: my take might get a little hot. People don't like
- 43:36Speaker 6: the taunting stuff right, like, they don't like it. Obviously
- 43:39Speaker 6: got ejected for it. Look at Wes fired up. I
- 43:41Speaker 6: don't know, Oh, Taylor it's fine. Wes is fired up
- 43:44Speaker 6: and they end up injecting him. So me, I am
- 43:49Speaker 6: okay with the taunting. I think it's entertaining. I think
- 43:53Speaker 6: it's fun. I think you always need like a villain
- 43:55Speaker 6: to kind of root for, like make it a little
- 43:58Speaker 6: more entertaining. And I think Trey Fell was it in
- 44:01Speaker 6: this instance. And I think that the umpires should not
- 44:06Speaker 6: have a stick up their ass all the time, and
- 44:08Speaker 6: I think that you should let them taunt a little bit.
- 44:10Speaker 6: And I think that it's fun and I think that
- 44:12Speaker 6: it makes the game a little more exciting. Do I
- 44:15Speaker 6: like it when it happens to my team whenever my
- 44:18Speaker 6: teams get no. But I'm not gonna be like, oh,
- 44:19Speaker 6: eject him, get him out of here, Like I just
- 44:22Speaker 6: think that's cry baby energy right there. And I think
- 44:24Speaker 6: that the weekend losers are the Liberty players for crying
- 44:27Speaker 6: and the umpires for not being able to have a
- 44:30Speaker 6: little bit of fun.
- 44:32Speaker 2: I don't think.
- 44:32Speaker 7: I don't think Phelps like, yeah, he tauted, but like
- 44:35Speaker 7: he didn't stare at anybody's face, he didn't taunt the
- 44:37Speaker 7: second baseman running around the base like I'm usually one
- 44:40Speaker 7: of those that's like there's a fine line between I
- 44:42Speaker 7: don't really see that. You could argue, oh, he looked
- 44:45Speaker 7: at the dugout, but the Georgia fan base is literally
- 44:48Speaker 7: right above the Liberty dugout. He could have just as
- 44:50Speaker 7: well have been celebrating with the Georgia fan base. Like,
- 44:52Speaker 7: I didn't really think it was that big of a deal.
- 44:54Speaker 6: But I also think baseball is just like more annoying
- 44:56Speaker 6: about this than any other sport, Like, and that's why
- 45:00Speaker 6: I think people get bored with baseball because they don't
- 45:03Speaker 6: let them do stuff like this.
- 45:04Speaker 2: It does need to be more exciting.
- 45:05Speaker 6: Yeah, so yeah, that was mine.
- 45:08Speaker 5: I wish they would do like I got, like the
- 45:10Speaker 5: bat flips. I didn't really like think that his trot
- 45:15Speaker 5: around the basis was like fun, but I wasn't like, ooh,
- 45:18Speaker 5: this is super entertaining. Yeah, I think like the bat
- 45:21Speaker 5: flip and going to first base, like doing all that
- 45:23Speaker 5: stuff's good. Yeah, you can't really celebrate in football before
- 45:27Speaker 5: you score, Like maybe like once you hit the home plate, maybe.
- 45:30Speaker 2: Give them a chance to do a little dance. Yeah,
- 45:32Speaker 2: maybe do a little dance, like an end zone dance.
- 45:33Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 45:34Speaker 6: If you look at the beginning of the video, it
- 45:35Speaker 6: looked like the umpire like was looking for any excuse
- 45:38Speaker 6: to eject him though, because he stood at the plate
- 45:40Speaker 6: for like a second and the umpire was walking toward
- 45:42Speaker 6: him when he did.
- 45:43Speaker 2: The second basement was funny in that video, He's like,
- 45:45Speaker 2: what are you doing?
- 45:46Speaker 6: Yeah, he's crying, what are you doing?
- 45:51Speaker 9: What do you do?
- 45:52Speaker 2: Just jog?
- 45:52Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah?
- 45:55Speaker 5: That was it for me.
- 45:57Speaker 2: The weekend loser.
- 45:58Speaker 7: And you know, guys, I just hate to do it,
- 46:00Speaker 7: but I gotta give it to the Tennessee Volunteer baseball program.
- 46:04Speaker 7: Micheally first team that was eliminated from postseason play over
- 46:08Speaker 7: the weekend. It's almost like Tony Vattulo made your program
- 46:11Speaker 7: and you're not the premier program at college of Baseball.
- 46:14Speaker 7: I believe Old Miss football is gonna suffer something similar
- 46:17Speaker 7: this fall. But uh, it's always nice to see, uh,
- 46:20Speaker 7: those that got a little bit of a big head
- 46:21Speaker 7: come back down to earth.
- 46:24Speaker 6: Like you said, as long as the pitchers can headhunt,
- 46:25Speaker 6: let them do what they want. I don't care about
- 46:27Speaker 6: that either. I'm gonna be real honest.
