• 13:39
  Speaker 5: like when you're by yourself and you're laughing out loud,
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: you're vocally projecting laughter. And I remember the lady next
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: to him, he was like she wasn't real thrilled because
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: I was like laughing really loud. But yeah, watch hot
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Rod right there one and a half inch screen.
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: And now you know the rest of the story. It's right.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: You're welcome, all right. So LSU does have some news.
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: They do have a president. They do have an athletic director.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: We'll throw it to Tata here to give you the
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: latest and the greatest there. As far as LSU hiring
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: a new school president.
• 14:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Wade Ruse from McNeese say White was there very long.
• 14:18
  Speaker 9: But when he had got there, This actually comes from LSU.
• 14:21
  Speaker 9: Revilee shout out to them. They actually have a ton
• 14:23
  Speaker 9: of info on Wade Ruse. McNeice was in the midst
• 14:27
  Speaker 9: of a fourteen year decline in enrollment. He has completely
• 14:30
  Speaker 9: flipped that in a short time there, they're actually on
• 14:33
  Speaker 9: a steady incline in enrollment. When he had gotten there,
• 14:37
  Speaker 9: it was the largest drop in twenty two years. He
• 14:39
  Speaker 9: completely flipped that. He was there in twenty twenty when
• 14:42
  Speaker 9: Hurricane Laura hit. That was a tumultuous time for the
• 14:45
  Speaker 9: city of Lake Charles. He navigated through that, so hadn't
• 14:48
  Speaker 9: been there very long, but went through a lot at McNeese.
• 14:50
  Speaker 9: Familiar with Louisiana obviously, and you know you pair him
• 14:55
  Speaker 9: with a Verge Alesbury, you got alignment at the top,
• 14:58
  Speaker 9: So I mean, that's that's where we're at.
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: You got something like you know, you got something in place.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: We knew it was gonna come yesterday, but it's good
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: just to actually see it. And then Verge was on
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: AFOL yesterday and pretty much like right after he got
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: off air, it was announced that he is going to
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: be the full time athletic director. So there's no interim
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: that gets taken off. And we on Friday when we
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: were listening to the press conference Matt, we kind of figured, Okay,
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: this is going to be the deal because he had
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: the full autonomy to hire the head coach, right, he
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: had all the authority to do so.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: And so if you're going to give somebody that they're
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: going to be your athletic director, yeah, if.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: You're giving somebody the ability to the authority to hire
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: the next day after you just you know, agreed and
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: fired a coach and paid him fifty three million dollars
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: or will be paying him that amount of money. You
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: aren't going to just let somebody pick the next guy
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: that's not going to be there.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: That would be that would be an egregious situation.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: That would be a situation where I don't think other
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: coaches around the league who would be interested in the
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: job would like to have I don't think they would
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: like to know that during this job search, with so
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: many job openings around the country, that I'm gonna get
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: hired and then a month later, you're gonna have another
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: athletic director, not the guy that chose me and hired me.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: That's not like it's not a real good recruiting message
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: to send to a potential head coach out there, especially
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: like they said, they want the best, they want the biggest,
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: they want they want the top of the pecking order,
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: the top of the food chain when it comes to
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: a head coach here at LSU, which which LSU deserves.
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: So I think it's a great move, hopefully with the
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: president's situation. You know, look, it's uh, I was telling
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: you all during the break, It's like, I, you know,
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: I know that we have to have all the we
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: have to have alignment, we have to be everyone's got
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: to have the job and the titles and everything. But
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: I hopefully this is the last time we hear the
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: president's name, and you know, a long time until he's
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: on the field, you know, during a TV time, I'm
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: out handing somebody a certificate for something, because that will
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: mean that things are running smoothly. That means things are
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: running well. That means the hires are correct. That means
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: Vergin's doing a good job. The new head coach is
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: doing a good job. So it's one of those situations
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: that it's you know, you're you're happy that somebody's in place.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: There's a little stability here. The fear of the unknown
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: is gone, except at least in those two positions. And
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: so hopefully if they are the they seem seemingly like
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: the They seem like the right choice.
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: I think it was the obvious choice.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: Everybody pretty much knew that the president was going to
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: be the president. We figured after the announcement, with Verge
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: having full autonomy on the head coaching job, that he
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: would probably be at least the first person to get
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: the get the the opportunity to become the bad So
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: there we go.
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: Now, I'll got to just find a coach. But it
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: doesn't sound like it's uh they're going to be in
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: any rush right now. Now.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: If they do find somebody that they feel can be faster,
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: but it has to be the top of their list,
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: they'll do it. But I think Verge said it yesterday
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: that they're okay with a playoff head coach for a
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: playoff team if that, if they decide that that's the
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: one that they want to pursue.
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: And look, Verges is an LSU lifer. We all know that.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: We kind of know the resume played here, has been here.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: I think he's like twenty fourth year in the LSU
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: athletic department. He has touched all the phases of the
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: LSU athletic department like everybodyfore that seems a little light,
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: you know, like he's been in every single role, like
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: he has truly paid his dues. He's worked himself up
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: to this, and he is somebody that, Look, we talk
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: about having passion for LSU, having passion to attack the
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: job every single day, Well, Verge is going to give
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: you that. Verge is somebody that's done that for the
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: last two and a half decades. And then you go
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: back to his playing days in the eighties for LSU. Right,
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: So we laid it out what you were looking for
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: in your next head coach and your you know, next
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: athletic director. And I'm excited for Verge. Happy for ViRGE,
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: Verge for twenty years, So excited for him that he
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: gets this opportunity he is well yeah, yeah.
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: Mean he's been you know, inentered before.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: He's been you know, the right hand man to the
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: ad before, He's been right underneath multiple ads and now
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: it's his time to shine.
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: His career is the way that it should happen. Like
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: his career path.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: He's worked hard and it's not like he's come up
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: through the ranks and he's finally found himself and made
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: himself like coming up through ranks throughout the country and
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: at different programs.
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: No, he's been at LSU.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: He's seen the good, he's seen the bad, he's seen
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: everything that you can see, and he has done it
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: the right way. So extremely extremely happy for Verge, and
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: I know that he's going to do a great job
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: and well looking forward to kind of this whole coaching
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: process and his first can you imagine get into your
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: job and like your first order of business is coach
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: for the LSU Tigers. Yeah, after they just I aired
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: a fifty fifty million dollars man.
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, exciting, No good, that's that's kind that's the kind
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: of player that says, I want the ball. I want
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: the ball. Came on the line, I want the ball.
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: That's what Urgin's saying. Yeah, give me the ball. All right.
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: So you know you do have those positions filled.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: Now, as we said, you got your president, you also
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: have a chancellor as well, right ta, So you know what, Yeah,
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: team from fourteen years ago, those jobs were kind of
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: combined and now the chancellor.
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: Now you bring somebody in.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: So now you have a president of the system and
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: then you have a chancellor at the Baton Rouge campus.
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: You knew that, told y'all. I was telling you all
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: yesterday about it. Jim Dalton.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: He uh wait, So that position was open to but
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: yet like it's been a while, like you combined them
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: for a long time, and now now we got a
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: new one.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: As when we were in school, this is how it was. Yeah,
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: we had the chance You knew that, right, Yea, here
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: you go.
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: He's the first chancellor of the LSU campus since the
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: president chancellor roles were merged in twenty twelve.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: Twelve was a year, right, So they got unmerged yesterday, Yes,
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: there was an unmerging.
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: What do we do that for?
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, you took a look at it, let's see
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: what it works. You looked at the analytics of it,
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: and you said.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: The merging in Yeah. Yeah, We've had three head coaches
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: since the merging. So we said, no, we need some
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: more stability. Let's unmerge it. Let's bring on the chancellor.
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: And I believe the mark the new president is to
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: be the fifth committee member, right to make the football higher.
• 21:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Verge said that on Okay, all right, I mean.
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: Me and Matter not on the committee. Just to confirm, Okay,
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: can we reach out?
• 21:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah, we could, look, you can reach out who says
• 21:56
  Speaker 9: they have.
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: To stop at five? Yeah, that's true. It is. It
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: is a state school. Let's put it to a vote.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: I think I've put it on every platform that i'd
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: like to be a part of that.
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: So I think I'm comfortable saying though that since we're
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: not on it, I don't think Vere really needs that committee.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: Let's just let's just go with Vergis pick. Let's not
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: get a vote on it. But if there is a
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: committee team, Ot'd like to be on there. You know,
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: I'll stick with the football guy on that committee. Yeah,
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: I'm with you on that. On and with you on
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: that the other guy's very successful. Great, but let's just
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: stick with the football.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: Guy, all right, So some stability there for LSU. We'll
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: see what it looks like. Who's the next head coach?
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: What the rumors are going to be. Is it going
• 22:42

  Speaker 5: Anyways, looking up the role of a chancellor at a
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: university right now, but your friend telling you about it. Hey,
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: it can either be an executive role or a ceremonial role.
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: I haven't figured out which one we got yet. All right,
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: just to give me a bunch of words, A bunch
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: of words sounds that don't mean anything. Still confused on
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: the unmerging though, glad we did it though, all hands
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: on deck.
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: If I could be honest, I didn't even know we
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: needed a chancellor, like I thought maybe we already had it,
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: or maybe I'm trying to figure out what they do.
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's fair.
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: Hmmm. Him and the new Prayers are gonna split.
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: Hey act as an ambassador represent the university and preside
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: over events like graduation ceremonies.
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: So they're basically just like the public, like the pr person.
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: I would say, yeah, yuh.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: In a ceremonial role, yes, an executive role. They could
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: act as the CEO of university.
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: Okay, but I don't.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: Know who's above is the president higher?
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: See, that's the thing. It would be some tension. Be
• 27:12
  Speaker 9: fun to keep an eye on power struggle.

• 30:52
  Speaker 9: shooters and they were atrocious at shooting from the outside.
• 30:55
  Speaker 9: So if you can turn that around, the deed An
• 30:58
  Speaker 9: Thomas is going to be your point guard. He's gonna
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: cut distribute everything for you. You can have shooters on
• 31:02
  Speaker 9: the outside. I mean you can make something happen, all right, and.
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: Get behind that for mat Man. Matt McMahon's like the
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: nicest human being.
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's very good people.
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: But we were talking I remember us like talking about
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: this last season is how the SEC is starting to
• 31:19
  Speaker 8: be like really good in basketball, Like Auburn Florida.
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: Won the NaSTA made the tournament, but.
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: Right so maybe they can make something happen. But can
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: they and the competition that we have in the.
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: SEC, we'll see, Yeah that you know, that was the issue.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: You had some good wins and the non COD last year,
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: but just got buried in the SEC.
• 31:42
  Speaker 9: So I think your goal this year should be five
• 31:44
  Speaker 9: hundred record in the SEC because the SEC is good
• 31:47
  Speaker 9: enough the way.
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: You're in.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's got to go up. There's no doubt about it.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: Like there's pressure around the program to be better. And
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: you know, you had a situation where you thought you
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: were gonna get all these penalties. You didn't get all
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: these penalties, but you thought you were. You didn't have
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: anybody left on your team, so you started from scratch.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: But you're far along the road now, right, Gotta go
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: win some games, Gotta go in some games in the SEC.
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: And they get started tonight against Charleton State, Kim Moulki.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: The squad got started last night beating Houston Christian One
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: eight to fifty five.
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: M just beating up on Texas.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: They've been playing a lot of exhibitions though, right, and
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: that's been like a hundred point Oh yeah, spreads.
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: Love it, keep it up.
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: Do you really have a question about the women's basketball team.
• 32:41
  Speaker 9: Though, yeah, yeah, I mean flags bag, Mikaela Williams's bag.
• 32:46
  Speaker 9: You got some big name, Well yeah, I mean they're
• 32:49
  Speaker 9: they're gonna be dominant again.
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: Do we want to play? What had to say about.
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, do you have to have it? Yeah? This is
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: so so Kim Monkey.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: After the news of Scott Woodward was let go as
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: the athletic director, did not come to her press conference.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: You know, assistant coach was pretty heartbroken because her and Scott,
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: obviously we're very close, had a great relationship there. So
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: last night after the victory against Houston Christian she did
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: speak to the media and.
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: Here's what coach Kimmunky had to say. What's Scott? What
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: would been to you and death department with his partnership?
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: But what wad you look to you, Scott Ard?
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: So anytime a coach is hired by somebody, you have
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: special feelings.
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: My feelings are far.
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: Deeper because I'm from the state.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: And I want all of us to always do good.
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: I wants to look good, I wants to smell good.
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: I was all everything good about the State.
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: So I'm happy I heard Verge.
• 33:56
  Speaker 9: Is now the a d I'm happy because I think
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: Verge is like a lot of us. He grew up
• 34:05
  Speaker 9: in the state. This is his school and town, all
• 34:15
  Speaker 9: of us.
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: So obviously still pretty upset. Yeah, she doesn't love it.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: I think she does, you know, like ViRGE and appreciates
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: that Verge is the one that got the job. I
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: think you heard that there in Virgion a lot of
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: things women's basketball over the last couple of years.
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you can tell.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: Still upset by Scott Willard being leg go as athletic director. Look,
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: not only did Scott hire, they won a championship together.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: You know, that's tough.
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: And I'm assuming they had some sort of you know,
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: prior relationship. I don't you know that. It's what it
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: feels like, right, They've they've known each other for a while,
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: had a really good relationship.
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: And it's tough.
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: Like she said, anytime somebody hires you and you have
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: that a relationship. If you're at a university where the
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: athletic department has given you everything that you need to
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: be successful, and then you are successful, there's a bond
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: that is that is built there, developed there. And I
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: think we knew when she took the job at LSU
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: it was an emotional.
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: Decision for her to do it.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: It wasn't like she was looking for the next thing
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: and was gonna, you know, go to Yukon or wherever
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: it was.
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: She wasn't looking for that type of situation.
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: She came because it's home, Yeah, and it's an emotional
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: thing for her, and she coaches that way, and she
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: teaches that way, and she she is the leader of
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: young women that way. And that's why she's so respected
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: and beloved because that's how she feels about this university.
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: And you know in scott Wood where she felt bad
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: about him as well, because he feels the same way
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: about this universey. I don't think anybody's ever questioned that.
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: But Verge also is in that same breath of caring
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: and being lsu through and through Louisiana through. So I
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: mean it's, uh, it's probably the best of a bad
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: situation for her. And it's still I mean, it's still
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: happened a couple days ago, so it's like it's not
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: like that whole thing has passed, you know, like.
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: She said, time will heal. Well, it's all we been
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: a couple of days. So yeah, no doubt about it.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: And you and I have you know, seen you know
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: coaches that we played for, Like when coach Miles got fired,
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: I'm sad.
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: It's a guy that.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: Trusted in me and put me in a position to
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: go get drafted and changed my life. Right, And I
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: named a child after Coach Miles. Shout out Memphis Miles,
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: Panther speed the Packers. Case you're wondering, Flynn, Uh, he'd
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: want me to tell you that. And he already did
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: meant a lot and when he got fired, I wasn't
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: playing anymore. But still is like, man, that that sucks.
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean you're kind of sad for what was
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: not what because.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: You remember, you remember like when things were going great.
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: You remember championships and you remember all the games that
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: you won together. And even though I hadn't played here
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: like eight years, I think after he got let go,
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: still hurts. That's you know, it's a guy that changed life.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: And for coach Moulkey, it's kind of what it sounded
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: like there. Now coach had already built up a resume
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: and had great moments, but to come here and win
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: a championship, that was the ad that was a part
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: of that.
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: Go Panthers.
• 37:32
  Speaker 7: Oh sorry, I was just gonna say that.
• 37:34
  Speaker 8: I know that people are gonna be like, oh, well,
• 37:36
  Speaker 8: they get paid millions of dollars whatever, But I actually
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: feel kind of bad for Scott Woodward. Like, and I'm
• 37:41
  Speaker 8: kind of with Kim Molky, like he went to LSU,
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: he grew up here, he and yeah, he's gonna get
• 37:46
  Speaker 8: paid millions of dollars to leave or whatever, but I
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: mean I feel like he really wanted to be here,
• 37:52
  Speaker 8: and like maybe I don't agree with some.
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: Of the hires that he made, but like I still
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: kind of feel bad for him.
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I mean yeah, Like I very much plan
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: on having a relationship with Scott in the future.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: I think it's easy, like emotionally, it's easy for people
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: to write off like just like tough decisions and people
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: like losing their jobs because of the money that's involved,
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: and it's easy for ever and that's a natural thing.
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: And I understand that. Like, well, I don't feel sorry
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: for him, like he's getting paid blah blah.
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: Blah, but there is like his letter made me feel
• 38:21
  Speaker 7: bad for him, right.
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: And it's still like humans involved, right, and there's still
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: you know, and I know the at the in the
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: Football Ops building, there's a lot of people that are
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: uncertain about their future, and it's hard for people to
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: feel sorry because of the money that is involved. And
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: that's the life you choose, right, I mean, if you're
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: an a d if you're in sports, that's the life
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: you choose. But it still doesn't make it like emotionally,
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: especially when you're in a place you love you it's
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: your dream job, you've worked it, that's the thing you've wanted.
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: It still doesn't make that any easier.
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: So, like from an emotional to standpoint, Yeah, you can
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: feel sorry for people, Yeah, certainly feel sorry for that.
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: They've they've lost their their dream. They can't hold on
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: to it any longer.
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: Right, Although all the fun stuff does help, I can't
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: that's a humid thing does help.
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: But so I get it. I get it from both
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: sides of the thing, not all the way.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: And it just felt like a little vindictive to me,
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: but I said, it helps fix everything, all right. We
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: have made it forty seven minutes and I have not
• 39:19

  Speaker 6: B Wow, goodness, there's other people here, children in the car.
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: Goodness gracious.
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: So, I mean you got children that are a little
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: bit older. I don't know if we need to play
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: this type of music. Great, they don't need to learn
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: about this, No, I mean you got to learn somehow.
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: You might as well learn R and B.
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: So there was twenty one deals at the NFL trade deadline.
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: Uh. The New Orleans Saints actually were part of two.
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: So Rashid Shaheed on an expiring contract, as we talked
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: about weeks ago, probably the more likely to be traded.
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: He goes to Seattle, and Seattle sends these Saints a
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty six fourth and fifth round pick. ESPN dot
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: Com gives the trade for the Seahawks and a minus
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: and for the Saints a B plus.
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: I like it. I like it.
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: We gotta be you got some assets, and you needed
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: some and you mishandled a fourth round pick to get
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: a receiver that's got less than fifty receiving yards already
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: on the year, so you at least get that back,
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: and you get a fifth round selection on a guy
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: that you know, again had an expiring contract.
• 42:59
  Speaker 6: Good play, very exciting player.
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: But now you have seven draft choices and we'll get
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: to more than you know, another one that you got
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: a little bit later on. So for the Saints, you're
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: not going anywhere. You've got an asset that can give
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: you two draft choices. I like it for both teams.
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I do too. I mean, it's it was a
• 43:19
  Speaker 6: great way to make up a terrible trade with Ale.
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: I mean, now you're at least bag you get rid
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: of a talented guy that was about to need to
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: get a contract extension, and you get back to, you know,
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: seven draft picks. For the draft, there's seven rounds, so
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: you're back at kind of like even right, you're back
• 43:37
  Speaker 5: at even par right now. So and it wasn't like
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: the Saints were kind of in the same situation as
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: like the Titans were. They just didn't have a lot
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: of assets to go and make the big crazy trade.
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: Now he thought maybe it was Chase Young gonna be
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, you would think that everybody would have been
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: had a price tag on him, like nobody was going
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: to be safe in that building. I mean maybe Tyler shuck,
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: he's a second round quarterback, but like, who else would
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: have been kind of an untradeable guy.
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: I don't I don't really know. I was actually kind
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: of hoping Rattler would get traded. I don't even know
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: if that was on the table, But there's people in
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: need of quarterbacks are clearly you know, done with with Ratler. Yeah,
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: so I think that he could have garnered some some
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: sort of price tag. So uh but you know, good
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: give for the Saints. You did it.
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: You didn't maybe do it to the extent that some
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: people wanted, but you did something. You did something you
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: got you know that that mean they got poking a stick, like, hey, you.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: Also sent Trevor Penning to the Bush League balls and
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: got a six round pick back. Saints got a B
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: plus on that grade, chargers a C plus chargers needed
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: so much help on the offensive line, even if it
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: was Trevor Penning, Hey, at least it was these.
• 44:51
  Speaker 6: At least it wasn't
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Off the bench.
