- 1:43Speaker 4: laid back, care free person that this seems like something
- 1:45Speaker 4: he would get nervous for, you know what I mean.
- 1:48Speaker 6: Yeah, he's never been a person that enjoyed physical activity.
- 1:53Speaker 3: I don't know how you got convinced to do it.
- 1:54Speaker 6: I don't either, because he's hard to convince it. Like typically,
- 1:58Speaker 6: if he doesn't want to do anything, he just doesn't
- 2:00Speaker 6: do it right and really doesn't have any bones about it,
- 2:03Speaker 6: Like I ain't doing that.

- 2:28Speaker 6: to one and some one also that is a listener
- 2:32Speaker 6: of OTB is running at one twenty as well. That
- 2:36Speaker 6: made him even more nervous with somebody that might know

- 2:41Speaker 6: and also beat his time.
- 2:42Speaker 3: Oh I'm a lot so hard if that guy comes
- 2:44Speaker 3: back there.
- 2:45Speaker 7: I just beat Flim by seven minutes. So that's what
- 2:48Speaker 7: he said.
- 2:49Speaker 5: He was saying that after the show.
- 2:50Speaker 4: He was like, I don't know this person, I don't
- 2:53Speaker 4: know what they look like, but I have to beat
- 2:54Speaker 4: this guy.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:57Speaker 8: Absolutely, I think he's going to do better than he
- 2:59Speaker 8: thinks he is.
- 3:00Speaker 6: Yeah he will. He'll do fun. He's a competitive turd.
- 3:02Speaker 6: Once that happens, he'll turn it on. I he'll pay
- 3:05Speaker 6: for it later, he'll turn it on. There's no doubt.

- 3:37Speaker 6: as we always do, little vibe check around the room.
- 3:39Speaker 7: Has somebody doing.
- 3:41Speaker 8: I mean, like I said, if we were to get

- 3:52Speaker 8: into me right now, so I could not be better. Also,
- 3:56Speaker 8: some baseball tonight.

- 4:04Speaker 8: still watch every single game.
- 4:05Speaker 3: Watch I'm sick in the head.
- 4:06Speaker 7: Yeah, we're all gonna do it, that's all.
- 4:08Speaker 8: I'm sitting there watching all the midweek games for what
- 4:12Speaker 8: you do?
- 4:13Speaker 6: You'd having a midway hard for what, no reason other

- 4:22Speaker 6: the weekend, we're like, doesn't matter whatever.
- 4:25Speaker 4: Stupid right, But that was like that was like me
- 4:29Speaker 4: this basketball season. I'll shut Kentucky on the TV. It
- 4:32Speaker 4: was like a Wednesday night, and it was when they
- 4:34Speaker 4: had that big lead. Remember, I mean they jumped out
- 4:36Speaker 4: eighteen to two something like that, and I'm watching it usually.
- 4:40Speaker 5: Yeah, they lose a heartbreaker at the end.
- 4:42Speaker 4: I was like, and that was fun Victoria's Taylor, why
- 4:44Speaker 4: are you even excited? I was like, they almost won. Yeah,
- 4:48Speaker 4: it's so funny that you say that. We have a
- 4:50Speaker 4: two time national championship winning coach. We're in the middle
- 4:54Speaker 4: of March and you're like, oh, by the way, baseball's tonight. Yeah,
- 4:57Speaker 4: because there is so much crap going on. It's basketball.
- 5:00Speaker 4: You got men in the headlines, you got Lane Kiff
- 5:03Speaker 4: in its spring practice. It's like, it's kind of an
- 5:05Speaker 4: embarrassment of riches. A little update for you guys.
- 5:09Speaker 5: You got a truck I did not drive.
- 5:14Speaker 3: Why I did see a different car?
- 5:16Speaker 4: Why did I not drive Victoria's car here today? She
- 5:19Speaker 4: was a doctor's appointment this morning. I drove my sisters.
- 5:25Speaker 5: Yeah they have.
- 5:27Speaker 4: She just got a new vehicle and they're like in
- 5:29Speaker 4: the process of selling the old one of them. Yeah,
- 5:32Speaker 4: I said Victoria. I mean, I said, Heyley, I needed
- 5:34Speaker 4: for two days. I need it for two days.
- 5:37Speaker 7: I have never heard of a car taking this line
- 5:40Speaker 7: to deliver.
- 5:41Speaker 4: I think that I ordered a Ferrari straight from Italy
- 5:44Speaker 4: and you customized from Austin, Texas.
- 5:48Speaker 3: Off like you literally should have just went to Austin
- 5:50Speaker 3: and just bought the car.
- 5:52Speaker 4: Called him yesterday. They're like, yeah, it's still a mobile.
- 5:54Speaker 4: I'm like, bro, it's been sitting there for three days.
- 5:56Speaker 5: Can I go get it?
- 5:57Speaker 4: I was like, I'll just go off to work.
- 5:58Speaker 5: It's three hours away.
- 6:00Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very easy.
- 6:01Speaker 5: They were like, let me check.
- 6:02Speaker 4: They're like, technically you can go get it, but we
- 6:06Speaker 4: would have to take it back off of this We'd
- 6:08Speaker 4: have to send it to a different hub. It would
- 6:10Speaker 4: actually probably set you back a couple of days just
- 6:12Speaker 4: to go get it. I was like, so if I
- 6:14Speaker 4: physically show up to a car lot and the vehicle
- 6:17Speaker 4: that I am purchasing is on that lot, I can't
- 6:20Speaker 4: take it for two days? Like yeah, basically, I don't
- 6:24Speaker 4: know what you did company I've ever seen.
- 6:26Speaker 7: I don't know who you went through, but I'm going
- 6:28Speaker 7: to make sure I never do it.
- 6:30Speaker 8: Do not Promotive would never to you ever, My god,
- 6:36Speaker 8: they'd bring the car to you, right.
- 6:38Speaker 7: That's probably.
- 6:39Speaker 8: I think that day you would have been had that
- 6:41Speaker 8: car if you would have went to buy you automotive
- 6:43Speaker 8: also had.
- 6:43Speaker 5: To also had to pay four hundred dollars.
- 6:46Speaker 3: I would ask for that four hundred dollars. Did they
- 6:49Speaker 3: give you an estimated delivery Saturday?
- 6:52Speaker 2: No?
- 6:52Speaker 3: No, No, you bought the car. Did they give you an
- 6:56Speaker 3: estimated delivery?
- 6:57Speaker 4: Yeah, but it was like a twelve day period.
- 6:59Speaker 3: I feel has it been more than twelve days?
- 7:01Speaker 7: Oh? Yeah, no.
- 7:03Speaker 4: I mean like they were like it could arrive at
- 7:04Speaker 4: any point between like the eighteenth and the end of
- 7:07Speaker 4: the month, and I'm like, that's.
- 7:08Speaker 3: Not okay, Well it's the end of the month. I
- 7:10Speaker 3: would be getting my four hundred dollars.
- 7:13Speaker 7: Unless your name is mister Max, get.
- 7:16Speaker 3: Me to get that four hundred dollars because I will.
- 7:19Speaker 4: They're dragging their feet because they can. Tomorrow is the
- 7:23Speaker 4: very last estimated day that they gave me guarantee it
- 7:26Speaker 4: comes in.
- 7:26Speaker 7: Tomorrow, and we did.
- 7:27Speaker 4: They'll call me at nine o'clock Saturday night. They close
- 7:30Speaker 4: at nine, They'll be like, hey, it's in then that way,
- 7:33Speaker 4: I can't go get it till Monday.
- 7:35Speaker 7: That because you pick it up from the car. Max.
- 7:37Speaker 8: Here, Hey, they don't even take it to your house.
- 7:41Speaker 4: They could bring it to my house. At this point, guys,
- 7:43Speaker 4: I don't want that. I would rather just go get it. Like, no, no,
- 7:48Speaker 4: I don't want you delivering anything to me.
- 7:50Speaker 7: That's rough.
- 7:52Speaker 6: Hell No, we got Jackson's car. We did it through
- 7:54Speaker 6: car Vana. This was a couple of months ago. It
- 7:58Speaker 6: was pretty easy.
- 8:00Speaker 4: My dad's bought two vehicles through there.
- 8:03Speaker 6: They just by itself on a flatbed and they delivered
- 8:06Speaker 6: to your house.
- 8:07Speaker 4: Did Comax had a little bit of a better deal
- 8:09Speaker 4: And I was like, oh there wasn't what, no big deal.
- 8:11Speaker 5: Nope, they're not the.
- 8:12Speaker 3: Same again, they would have had me so messed up.
- 8:16Speaker 4: Oh, guys, I have called them every single day. They
- 8:19Speaker 4: probably hate me. They have my number saved and they're like,
- 8:22Speaker 4: don't answer that. Do not answer that phone call. Yeah,
- 8:26Speaker 4: we d have a different vehicle.
- 8:27Speaker 6: Just not sorry, I got excited. I thought you actually

- 9:35Speaker 4: Salo Salt Lake.
- 9:38Speaker 8: Is like, okay, that's when people I don't know what
- 9:41Speaker 8: I would compare it to here, like when people are like, oh,
- 9:44Speaker 8: you got to get some good jumbalaya and you go
- 9:46Speaker 8: to like a jumbalaya shop or something like that.
- 9:48Speaker 6: I love Salt like I don't know. Everybody I say
- 9:50Speaker 6: from Texas says the same thing. But I'm like, look,
- 9:52Speaker 6: I'm a simple man.
- 9:54Speaker 3: I mean, Salt Lake has its place for sure, Yeah,
- 9:57Speaker 3: but Cooper's too. For shoopers, it was.
- 10:00Speaker 5: A lot only big city in Texas. I've never been two.
- 10:03Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I've been Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, wake

- 10:07Speaker 5: Never been to Austin.
- 10:10Speaker 3: You're not missing much.
- 10:12Speaker 7: I knew that was coming.
- 10:14Speaker 3: There's no reason to go there.
- 10:16Speaker 7: How how about how quickly I could look.
- 10:19Speaker 6: Obviously we're going to get into Will Wade and how
- 10:22Speaker 6: it all played out and everything.
- 10:24Speaker 7: But look, we talked. We've been talking about for two days.
- 10:26Speaker 6: We talked about it yesterday because you know, it was
- 10:28Speaker 6: already happening, and we'll break down what it means and
- 10:31Speaker 6: who what went and where.
- 10:33Speaker 7: I just think it's pretty cool how quick like it
- 10:36Speaker 7: was a it was like kind of like a rumor.
- 10:38Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 10:39Speaker 6: And like like I said, over the last couple of days,
- 10:41Speaker 6: we've all said it like worst kept secret and battery's
- 10:43Speaker 6: been going on for weeks. But from it not like
- 10:48Speaker 6: actually being officially official over the last like forty eight
- 10:51Speaker 6: hours and then you technically still had a coach and
- 10:55Speaker 6: Matt McMahon. Yeah to this man was on a plane
- 10:58Speaker 6: boots on the ground in at and Rouge before the
- 11:01Speaker 6: sun was down yesterday, Like how quickly it all kind
- 11:05Speaker 6: of came together, and how quickly it was like from
- 11:09Speaker 6: all right, he's meeting with NC State on Wednesday night
- 11:12Speaker 6: and blah blah blah. And you know you still got
- 11:14Speaker 6: Matt McMahon. You got to figure it out too. Yesterday
- 11:17Speaker 6: on Thursday, he was here before the sun went down.
- 11:21Speaker 7: Like it's amazing how quickly everything went down.
- 11:24Speaker 3: It happened so fast. It was like a wildfire right
- 11:27Speaker 3: like it was.
- 11:28Speaker 8: A rumors started coming out, and then it was he's
- 11:32Speaker 8: meeting with NC State, and then it was they couldn't
- 11:34Speaker 8: come to agreement, and then we hired Heath Schroyer and
- 11:37Speaker 8: again like it was just Domino's that just kept falling
- 11:39Speaker 8: and falling and it did happen super fast.
- 11:41Speaker 6: Yeah, and I know they've been working on this, like
- 11:43Speaker 6: I said, like like I talked about for sure, like
- 11:45Speaker 6: we all know that, but still like there's a lot
- 11:48Speaker 6: of hurdles that you got to get over. And they
- 11:49Speaker 6: were like, I don't care. They were the guy running
- 11:52Speaker 6: the hurdle race. That's just running through everything right, not
- 11:55Speaker 6: even did not even care.
- 11:56Speaker 3: But he looked happy as hell on the plane.
- 11:58Speaker 4: Well, yeah, he does have to work for a guy
- 12:01Speaker 4: named Boo.
- 12:03Speaker 3: Boo, such a dumb nat.
- 12:05Speaker 4: The audio me and Moose from back in the studio
- 12:08Speaker 4: yesterday for a far We're playing the audio and he's like, yeah,
- 12:11Speaker 4: we're gonna play Bookrrigan here. I was like, well, no
- 12:14Speaker 4: freaking wonder will Wade left end z E state. What's
- 12:17Speaker 4: to work for a guy named Boo? Also, you should
- 12:19Speaker 4: have seen him up there, Oh my god, he looked
- 12:22Speaker 4: like he just lost his new puppy.
- 12:23Speaker 6: Did I think a lot of people will know Boo
- 12:26Speaker 6: from him? Uh, you know, being a part of the
- 12:28Speaker 6: college football playoff as well and having to hear him
- 12:31Speaker 6: talk about the rankings if you remember going back a
- 12:34Speaker 6: couple of years. Don't worry, we'll get to all that.
- 12:37Speaker 6: We got a lot of show, a lot of show left,
- 12:39Speaker 6: but pretty remarkable how quickly everything came together. We'll fire
- 12:45Speaker 6: it up. I'll tell you that I briefly talked with
- 12:47Speaker 6: him yesterday. He is fired up, to say the least. Yeah, Uh,
- 12:51Speaker 6: to be back and to have the opportunity to try
- 12:55Speaker 6: to finish what they got started here.
- 12:57Speaker 7: And it doesn't happen very often. It has happened four
- 13:00Speaker 7: in sports.
- 13:00Speaker 6: It doesn't happen often, but you get a second chance
- 13:02Speaker 6: out of place like this, and to say he's fired
- 13:07Speaker 6: up would be a big, big understatement. All right, we'll
- 13:11Speaker 6: go ahead and we'll take our first break. As I said,
- 13:13Speaker 6: we're gonna have Bobby Carpenter join us. He's gonna break
- 13:16Speaker 6: down all the Buckeyes that the Saints have been I hustling,
- 13:19Speaker 6: and some of these mock drafts. The Saints certainly well
- 13:22Speaker 6: represented there in Columbus at Ohio States Pro Day.
- 13:25Speaker 7: We'll have that for you when we jump back here
- 13:28Speaker 7: on OTB.

- 13:33Speaker 6: Her goo to fabt dot com fabt dot com First
- 13:37Speaker 6: American Bank and Trust. They've been in the game for
- 13:40Speaker 6: over eight century, right, and the obvious statement is like,
- 13:45Speaker 6: you don't stay in business that long unless you're doing
- 13:47Speaker 6: everything the right way.
- 13:48Speaker 7: And that's very factual. Nineteen ten was a long time ago.
- 13:52Speaker 6: But one of the things that does set them apart
- 13:54Speaker 6: because they've got all the tools of every national bank
- 13:57Speaker 6: obviously and your mobile banking whatever it might be.
- 14:01Speaker 7: But when they make a decision.
- 14:02Speaker 6: They don't call and ask for permission from New York
- 14:05Speaker 6: or San Francisco or Chicago.
- 14:08Speaker 7: They make it right here. It is very local, so
- 14:11Speaker 7: you get all the.
- 14:12Speaker 6: Tools of this national bank, but then you get the
- 14:14Speaker 6: local customer service. It is truly the best of both worlds.
- 14:18Speaker 6: So go to the website today. You can open your

- 17:16Speaker 3: And they're called hybrid rock stars.
- 17:19Speaker 10: Where's the rock star? If you're if you're Flynn, you're
- 17:22Speaker 10: a rock star doing that? You should have to do
- 17:24Speaker 10: that with ingesting some sort of illicit substance like whether
- 17:29Speaker 10: like it's just simply alcohol like a beer mile situation.
- 17:33Speaker 10: Can we maybe some crack cocaine whatever it is, Like
- 17:37Speaker 10: Billy Idol said he got off heroin by smoking crack,
- 17:41Speaker 10: so like type of stuff that I'm talking about. So
- 17:45Speaker 10: if he's gonna tell me he's doing some sort of
- 17:47Speaker 10: event like this, flint up his game.
- 17:49Speaker 6: Yeah, fair enough, fair enough, man, it's only Bobby can
- 17:52Speaker 6: put it.
- 17:53Speaker 7: I knew he'd have a great answer for us.
- 17:56Speaker 6: Bob, I wanted to have you on this more than
- 17:58Speaker 6: one because of Mission Man and on a chance to
- 18:01Speaker 6: do shows there on eighty four anymore, but also I
- 18:04Speaker 6: wanted to ask you.
- 18:06Speaker 10: I think Kester, I mean you got you took the
- 18:08Speaker 10: glow up man, It's okay, like very good thing.
- 18:12Speaker 9: You know, I'm here with the stars stars, so I
- 18:14Speaker 9: get it.
- 18:16Speaker 6: Okay, that's your words, that's you know, it's not mine.
- 18:19Speaker 6: I'll jump back on eighty four with you. I'm trying
- 18:22Speaker 6: to like get it done where I can do once
- 18:23Speaker 6: a week. I want to be once a week on
- 18:25Speaker 6: eighty four. You and I need to be there like
- 18:27Speaker 6: the noon show.
- 18:30Speaker 10: I'm with that. That'd be perfect, man. I mean, you've
- 18:33Speaker 10: laughed hardstock. There's so much attrition. I mean, listen, they
- 18:36Speaker 10: got this for you. We'll talk to live in mass
- 18:38Speaker 10: We get that worked.
- 18:38Speaker 7: Out, all right.
- 18:41Speaker 6: So obviously we covered the New Orleans Saints here, Bob,
- 18:43Speaker 6: and there's you know a couple of Buck guys that
- 18:45Speaker 6: could find their way to New Orleans at number eight.
- 18:49Speaker 6: Now you know, Rvel Reese might be gone, my guy,
- 18:52Speaker 6: Sonny Styles might be gone. You've got Caleb Downs, you
- 18:55Speaker 6: got Cardinal Taate, so a lot of Buck guys and
- 18:57Speaker 6: the Saints were well represented at Pro Day the other day,
- 19:01Speaker 6: you know, and our listeners know what I think about
- 19:03Speaker 6: Sonny Styles, Like, I don't even need to go any
- 19:06Speaker 6: more down that road. If I was selecting anywhere in
- 19:09Speaker 6: this draft, like he would be the guy I would
- 19:11Speaker 6: go to But for you, I mean you played the
- 19:14Speaker 6: position for the buck.
- 19:15Speaker 7: Guys. You know what Sonny Styles is all about.
- 19:17Speaker 6: You saw him come in and literally like start in
- 19:20Speaker 6: the back end, go to Nickel, shift over to Mike linebacker,
- 19:25Speaker 6: have the green dot on his helmet on a Matt
- 19:27Speaker 6: Patricia defense. So for you, like in Sunny Styles and
- 19:31Speaker 6: his fit in the NFL, how do you see a
- 19:33Speaker 6: playing out.
- 19:35Speaker 9: So I think you could go and put him in
- 19:37Speaker 9: there and play them at pure Mike.
- 19:38Speaker 10: And he's a three down guy that has you know,
- 19:41Speaker 10: he's got blitzed value, he's got coverage value, you can
- 19:44Speaker 10: play the run. He's two hundred and forty five pounds
- 19:47Speaker 10: and you see him. Hester mean, you guys all saw
- 19:49Speaker 10: his combine numbers and you were there beside him, like,
- 19:51Speaker 10: I mean, he's a big human, like a really large human,
- 19:55Speaker 10: really smart guy. He grew up in a football family.
- 19:58Speaker 9: Yeah, I know.
- 19:58Speaker 10: Lewis Fredick was talking about out, you know, having conversations
- 20:01Speaker 10: after talking with his dad and they played together in
- 20:03Speaker 10: Atlanta and that's always fun. Stuff is just a football
- 20:07Speaker 10: family and a football guy at him like you're getting
- 20:10Speaker 10: You're getting an all star dude.
- 20:12Speaker 9: And I had some conversations.
- 20:13Speaker 10: There's I've got some friends over there in the in
- 20:15Speaker 10: the New Orleans front office and on the staff, and
- 20:18Speaker 10: I think that they'd be happy with probably any of
- 20:20Speaker 10: those four guys potentially when they draft, and they you know,
- 20:24Speaker 10: they they love drafting Buckeyes and they've done it, you know,
- 20:26Speaker 10: with a handful of guys there, Chris Olave, Pete Warner,
- 20:29Speaker 10: you're still on the team currently. So Sonny, Sonny would
- 20:33Speaker 10: be a home run. Like and the thing is that
- 20:36Speaker 10: he was an off the ball guy, but if you
- 20:38Speaker 10: look at him and how big he is, he's somebody
- 20:40Speaker 10: that you can do a lot of stuff with. Like
- 20:42Speaker 10: there's no physical limitations. So really the only limitation is
- 20:45Speaker 10: can he learn like new skills. And you know, I
- 20:49Speaker 10: know everybody wants to be like, well, can he be
- 20:50Speaker 10: an edge? You know these guys dge guys, Well, he
- 20:53Speaker 10: played safety and you know Nickel, like he's never really
- 20:57Speaker 10: played on the edge, and I just think he's never
- 21:00Speaker 10: really been asked to. So like, there's things over the
- 21:03Speaker 10: course of his career that I think he has the
- 21:05Speaker 10: physical traits to possess to do it. The guy works
- 21:08Speaker 10: his butt off, So I think if you like kind
- 21:11Speaker 10: of train him in some different stuff. He can begin
- 21:13Speaker 10: to give you value that you probably haven't unlocked yet.
- 21:17Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm right there with you.
- 21:18Speaker 6: I mean I think he can do so many different
- 21:19Speaker 6: He's twenty one years old too. He's played forty five
- 21:22Speaker 6: games in a Buckeye uniform and he's twenty one years old.
- 21:25Speaker 6: Like that to me is remarkable. I mean, he got
- 21:27Speaker 6: to school at seventeen years old, goes to a place
- 21:31Speaker 6: like Ohio State and finds a way to be on
- 21:33Speaker 6: the field as a seventeen year old, Like that just
- 21:35Speaker 6: doesn't happen.
- 21:36Speaker 7: I mean, you know that as well as I do.
- 21:38Speaker 10: So, I mean, he was one of the kids tester
- 21:40Speaker 10: that reclassified, Like he left after his junior year of
- 21:43Speaker 10: high school to come to Ohio State. You know, he'd
- 21:46Speaker 10: won a state championship in football, he'd won one in basketball.
- 21:49Speaker 10: And I think it's like, all right, his brother was
- 21:50Speaker 10: already a Notre dame, like what else is left? And
- 21:53Speaker 10: him and his brother are coming out and together and
- 21:56Speaker 10: someone thought like, well, who is older, Like well, Stunny's
- 21:58Speaker 10: older than Lorenzo, And then well how are they in
- 22:00Speaker 10: the same class? Now, I'm like, well, Lorenzo got h
- 22:04Speaker 10: came out, got red shirted, and it was two years
- 22:08Speaker 10: ahead of him. And then Sonny graduated early, no red shirts.
- 22:11Speaker 10: So there there's your two years and next you know
- 22:13Speaker 10: they're coming out together.
- 22:16Speaker 9: But yeah, I mean it was wild. Like I watched him.
- 22:19Speaker 10: He grew up to the town beside mine, and so
- 22:20Speaker 10: we played a lot of games against him.
- 22:22Speaker 7: My dad was, Chaster is your town, right, right, And he's.
- 22:25Speaker 10: From Pickering said, and so we know that there's games
- 22:28Speaker 10: back and forth. And I remember seeing playing against his
- 22:31Speaker 10: brother and his brother's good, you know obviously, and you
- 22:34Speaker 10: needn't know his dad's dad played Ohio State, playing in
- 22:36Speaker 10: the NFL. And then I remember his freshman year. Sonny
- 22:39Speaker 10: pops in there and I'm like, wait, who who's the
- 22:43Speaker 10: older one? And my cause one of the decordings like,
- 22:47Speaker 10: oh he's the older. He's younger, like he's six one
- 22:50Speaker 10: five as a freshman, Like how is that even possible?
- 22:53Speaker 10: Like I was six to one, like one fifty five
- 22:56Speaker 10: as a freshman playing free safety. So I mean he's
- 22:59Speaker 10: always had those physical traits and kind of experienced and
- 23:02Speaker 10: not a lot of wear and sere on his.
- 23:03Speaker 7: Body, all right, So I think RVL Reese would be gone.
- 23:08Speaker 6: I think Sonny Styles has maybe you know, the ability
- 23:11Speaker 6: to go to the Saints at eight if he is
- 23:13Speaker 6: still there. Which if he is still there, go pull
- 23:15Speaker 6: your hamstring and select that guy. I don't think the
- 23:19Speaker 6: Downs is going to be there, but Cardinal Tate could
- 23:21Speaker 6: be there, and the Saints are in the market to
- 23:23Speaker 6: add a receiver. Now I've had questions just because and look,
- 23:27Speaker 6: you know, we've we've covered the buck Eyes. I mean
- 23:29Speaker 6: we've gone to their games and we've seen these guys
- 23:32Speaker 6: up close and personal. I think he's a really good player,
- 23:34Speaker 6: Cardinal Tait. I think he is a really good player.
- 23:36Speaker 6: But he's always been a two. He's never been a one.
- 23:39Speaker 6: And there's been some really good guys in front of him.
- 23:41Speaker 6: We all know that as well. But that would be
- 23:44Speaker 6: my question. The guy that's always been the two, he's
- 23:46Speaker 6: always been Robin, He's never been Batman. But when you
- 23:48Speaker 6: select somebody at number eight at receiver, like they've got
- 23:51Speaker 6: to be Batman, why should the Saints select Cardinal Tate.
- 23:56Speaker 10: I think he's got Batman ability and he's got Batman talent,
- 24:00Speaker 10: just a function of it.
- 24:02Speaker 9: And here's the thing.
- 24:03Speaker 10: Has I mean, you know, you start looking at this
- 24:05Speaker 10: and you know, and you've got you know, when you're
- 24:08Speaker 10: at LSU and you have Jamar Chase, all right, he
- 24:11Speaker 10: was great, and then you have oh, gosh, what's his name,
- 24:14Speaker 10: Justin Jefferson.
- 24:15Speaker 9: Well Justin Jefferson was kind of the two. You know.
- 24:18Speaker 10: Then he didn't play the next year, and it's like, well,
- 24:20Speaker 10: you know, is he kind of afterthought? He maybe ended
- 24:22Speaker 10: up being better. You look at the guys, I think
- 24:24Speaker 10: it's all relative to the guys that you're with. You know,
- 24:28Speaker 10: he was behind uh, you know, Jackson, and there was
- 24:30Speaker 10: a Mecca was here and then y'all Jeremiah Smith just
- 24:34Speaker 10: comes out of nowhere.
- 24:37Speaker 9: Marvin was there. Take.
- 24:38Speaker 10: So there's all these were really good and so they
- 24:41Speaker 10: really talented players. And what the thing I think is
- 24:44Speaker 10: the most impressive to me is your receivers are kind
- 24:48Speaker 10: of a different group a little bit. And you know,
- 24:51Speaker 10: you were fortunate to play with some really good ones
- 24:53Speaker 10: who were good dudes, and so is I But not
- 24:55Speaker 10: that they're bad guys, but but some of them, I
- 24:57Speaker 10: mean they play a position where they're I mean, they're
- 25:01Speaker 10: they're the mean, the fancy cat man. I mean, they
- 25:04Speaker 10: have France are Cock and for him to be able
- 25:08Speaker 10: to not like have an ego about that because some
- 25:10Speaker 10: guys would get salty.
- 25:12Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 25:12Speaker 10: Then I came in and I was just impressed, like,
- 25:15Speaker 10: never complained and once it get me the ball more,
- 25:17Speaker 10: I need to be the feature guy. Just all right,
- 25:20Speaker 10: I'll show up and work like and if he's better
- 25:22Speaker 10: than me, that's all right. But I'm gonna continue to grind.
- 25:24Speaker 10: I'm gonna continue to do this. And I think it's
- 25:26Speaker 10: that showed in his play. Obviously it's showed in his film.
- 25:29Speaker 10: So I think it's what I love most is just
- 25:32Speaker 10: his mentality about it. He has the traits to be
- 25:34Speaker 10: a number one receiver. It's the function of like he's
- 25:37Speaker 10: also got the mindset of he's gonna be a great.
- 25:41Speaker 6: Catch up with our guy, Bobby Carpenter here on OTB.
- 25:44Speaker 6: All right, Bobby, I'm gonna put you on the spot
- 25:46Speaker 6: if you could only select one of those Buckeye players
- 25:51Speaker 6: you had to pick, but you can only take one,
- 25:53Speaker 6: which one are you taking in?
- 25:54Speaker 7: Why?
- 25:56Speaker 9: Gosh?
- 25:57Speaker 7: I mean, and you're best player available type mindset?
- 26:00Speaker 10: Okay, I was gonna say it's just for the Saints.
- 26:03Speaker 10: I'm trying to fit pick needs and stuff too. Oh man,
- 26:07Speaker 10: it's like I said, you got I mean, now you've
- 26:10Speaker 10: got five kids, asked, But like trying to pick between
- 26:12Speaker 10: you know, I said this yesterday, It'd probably be Rvel Reese,
- 26:18Speaker 10: just because I think he's still the most raw of anybody,
- 26:22Speaker 10: and I think there's still a tremendous upside. I think
- 26:26Speaker 10: Rvel has the ability if you look at his frame
- 26:28Speaker 10: and he's two forty five, but he has the ability
- 26:30Speaker 10: had another ten pounds and I was.
- 26:32Speaker 9: Talking with Aaron Glenn.
- 26:34Speaker 10: We were watching him go through workouts and some of
- 26:36Speaker 10: the other, uh, the gms and coaches that were there,
- 26:39Speaker 10: and like just how sudden Like it's amazing, just like
- 26:42Speaker 10: his sudden power and explosion that he has and I've
- 26:48Speaker 10: never really seen anything like it. And there's still more
- 26:50Speaker 10: in the tank that you're gonna be able to, which
- 26:53Speaker 10: I don't know if that's ever the case when you
- 26:54Speaker 10: draft a guy in the top you know, five or
- 26:56Speaker 10: ten or whatever it is, you know he's good, but
- 26:59Speaker 10: there's a lot more. So I think that he just
- 27:02Speaker 10: has the most intriguing upside and he's a guy that
- 27:05Speaker 10: likes to work, So I think you're gonna be able
- 27:06Speaker 10: to realize that as well.
- 27:09Speaker 7: All right, Bobby, we don't want to hold you any
- 27:11Speaker 7: longer from that workout. I will tell you this.
- 27:13Speaker 6: At the combine, every bluck Eye that we interviewed, I'm like, yeah, man,
- 27:16Speaker 6: I'm good friends with Bobby Carpenter.
- 27:17Speaker 7: We're like, oh yeah, mister Bobby. Yeah, he's always in
- 27:19Speaker 7: the in the weight room over at the facility.
- 27:23Speaker 9: Oh, Carneal gives me crap all the time. He was back.
- 27:25Speaker 10: He said, we're gonna go run some sprints today. And
- 27:26Speaker 10: I'm like, listen, man, when you get old. As soon
- 27:29Speaker 10: as you start sprinting, you become stop sprinting, you become slow.
- 27:35Speaker 10: I can't take two consecutive weeks off or then you
- 27:37Speaker 10: just the road to being a normal person.
- 27:40Speaker 6: All right, Bob, do this after your workout, google Hybrid
- 27:45Speaker 6: rock Star High Rocks workout, and then make fun of
- 27:47Speaker 6: FLYNT some more.
- 27:48Speaker 7: After you google it.
- 27:50Speaker 9: We'll do a'll sentiment text.
- 27:52Speaker 7: All right, Bob, appreciate your brother.
- 27:54Speaker 9: Oh go on, guys.
- 27:55Speaker 6: All right, Bobby Carpenter, Kylie Gover at Sirius XM. You
- 27:58Speaker 6: can hear him today at one eastern noon local time
- 28:03Speaker 6: on College Sports Today over there on Channel eighty four.
- 28:07Speaker 7: I was appreciate my god, Bob, you never know what
- 28:10Speaker 7: he's gonna.
- 28:10Speaker 6: Say or what he's how he's gonna compare something didn't
- 28:16Speaker 6: have hard drugs being on the video card hard?
- 28:22Speaker 5: Can you say that on the radio?
- 28:23Speaker 6: I'm like, Bobby ken, Oh, let me just tell you
- 28:27Speaker 6: from somebody that has done XIM shows with Bob for
- 28:30Speaker 6: five years. He doesn't care if it's local radio, regional radio,
- 28:35Speaker 6: or national radio.
- 28:36Speaker 7: Bob's gonna say what Bob wants to say.
- 28:37Speaker 3: That's why I've never suggested bringing Chris Doring on.
- 28:42Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, to be honest, So it's.
- 28:46Speaker 3: He might be better about it.
- 28:47Speaker 6: On TV, Orah lives away that you wouldn't want to record, right,
- 28:51Speaker 6: Bobby talks away to record fair enough, you know, so
- 28:55Speaker 6: because Doran can quickly turned on the Chris Doran Mortgage
- 28:59Speaker 6: company voice, like I've been in the car with him before,
- 29:02Speaker 6: talking normal and he gets the phone, Hey, yeah, Chris
- 29:04Speaker 6: Doring here with Chris Doring Mortgage. Yeah, we got some
- 29:07Speaker 6: really incredible rates for you here today. And I'm like,
- 29:09Speaker 6: who in the world is this? We make fun of
- 29:13Speaker 6: him pretty bad. So that's Bobby no words, yep, that's Bob.
- 29:27Speaker 7: I don't know, man.
- 29:27Speaker 6: I still like with RVL Reese and I know Bobby's
- 29:30Speaker 6: way closer to the situation.
- 29:32Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 29:32Speaker 6: Eighteen games total in college does scare me a little bit.
- 29:37Speaker 6: If he's gonna go like two three, he's going to
- 29:39Speaker 6: top ten regardless.
- 29:40Speaker 7: But I would eighteen games.
- 29:43Speaker 5: I would take Sunny Styles.
- 29:45Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I would too.
- 29:47Speaker 6: But y'all know that in forty five games twenty one
- 29:51Speaker 6: years old. His brother's in the same draft and ran
- 29:54Speaker 6: a four to three. His dad played in the NFL,
- 29:57Speaker 6: A football family guy, graduated high school early and started
- 30:01Speaker 6: for the buck Eyes like when he was seventeen years old.
- 30:05Speaker 7: There's a lot to like.
- 30:06Speaker 6: I mean, look all of those guys from Ohio State, obviously,
- 30:08Speaker 6: but ar Bell Race is not gonna make it to
- 30:11Speaker 6: the Saints.
- 30:11Speaker 7: I don't think Downs is gonna make it.
- 30:14Speaker 6: Tate and Sunny Styles could make it to the Saints
- 30:17Speaker 6: at eight and with Tate probably being the one that
- 30:19Speaker 6: has the best chance to make it, but still there.
- 30:22Speaker 6: I liked Bobby's answer. But Cornell Tate's not justin Jefferson.
- 30:27Speaker 6: Justin Jefferson, as we said the other day, had fifteen
- 30:29Speaker 6: hundred yards in the season where people call him the
- 30:32Speaker 6: two that was not a two situation. All right, we
- 30:35Speaker 6: gotta take a break. When we come back, we kind
- 30:38Speaker 6: of reset. That's the only time Bobby could join us.
- 30:41Speaker 6: Didn't want to miss that, and we'll truly get the

- 35:57Speaker 6: Obviously, the big news, well, it's kind of funny, like
- 36:00Speaker 6: because Taylor did lay it out. He's like, you know,
- 36:02Speaker 6: it's kind of one of those situations where there's a
- 36:05Speaker 6: lot of news. But I would say the biggest news
- 36:07Speaker 6: surrounding LSU Athletics is Will Wade coming back. Something we've
- 36:10Speaker 6: talked about in linked over the last two days and
- 36:14Speaker 6: I think.
- 36:14Speaker 7: We all agree it just feels right.
- 36:16Speaker 6: This situation might not feel right in a lot of
- 36:19Speaker 6: different cases, this one does.
- 36:20Speaker 7: When you have a coach that was let go and
- 36:22Speaker 7: you bring him back.
- 36:23Speaker 6: Nobody wanted Will Wade to ever leave, no matter what happened,
- 36:28Speaker 6: and you go back, you checked the archives of this show.
- 36:30Speaker 7: I know that was our.
- 36:32Speaker 6: Fielm at least I don't remember where Bob landed on it,
- 36:37Speaker 6: but I know for me, like, I'm like, look, I
- 36:38Speaker 6: don't care.
- 36:39Speaker 7: I want Will Wade to be the basketball coach.
- 36:41Speaker 6: So he's coming back to LSU, and for the first
- 36:44Speaker 6: time in a very long time, LSU basketball feels like
- 36:48Speaker 6: it matters again because you can say what you want
- 36:51Speaker 6: about Will Wade and how everything went down and what
- 36:55Speaker 6: comes with his name, but one thing you can't argue
- 36:57Speaker 6: with is when he was here, LSU basketball was relevant.
- 37:02Speaker 6: It was talked about, not just locally nationally. It had juice,
- 37:08Speaker 6: it had energy. The p MAC had an actual pulse,
- 37:13Speaker 6: and honestly, like, that's what we're looking for. That's what
- 37:16Speaker 6: we want again, is to be excited to go into
- 37:18Speaker 6: the p MAC, go to those games the women's team,
- 37:22Speaker 6: they do it all the time, and it's an incredible,
- 37:24Speaker 6: incredible energy and you're just like, man if both the
- 37:28Speaker 6: teams that played in that p MAC could bring the
- 37:30Speaker 6: same thing. So it's not just about you know, wins
- 37:33Speaker 6: and losses, it's about bringing back and having an identity
- 37:38Speaker 6: to your basketball program. It's about getting to a place
- 37:42Speaker 6: where fans care again, they want to be a part
- 37:45Speaker 6: of it. It feels big when you walk into the
- 37:48Speaker 6: p BAC for a men's game, and I think we
- 37:50Speaker 6: all agree. Will Wade brings that. He brings an edge,
- 37:54Speaker 6: He's got a confidence about him.
- 37:56Speaker 7: He has that.
- 38:00Speaker 6: To kind of make you believe in LSU that nobody
- 38:03Speaker 6: else really has right because even like you know you're
- 38:06Speaker 6: going to a sweet sixteen, it's like, man, I think
- 38:10Speaker 6: els you's got a chance to win. I think else
- 38:11Speaker 6: you can do it, Like Will brings that to the table,
- 38:16Speaker 6: even if like you pulled back the curtain and it's
- 38:18Speaker 6: not fully factual.
- 38:21Speaker 7: Will make you believe that it's not going to be perfect.
- 38:25Speaker 6: There's probably gonna be some you know sometimes where it's
- 38:30Speaker 6: going to be difficult, but there's gonna be excitement, there's
- 38:35Speaker 6: going to be interest, there's going to be a real
- 38:40Speaker 6: desire to be great with Will Wade in LSU basketball.
- 38:44Speaker 6: That's what he did the first time that he was here.
- 38:45Speaker 6: It's what he's done everywhere he's ever been. So I'll
- 38:49Speaker 6: tell you this, if you care about LSU athletics, if
- 38:51Speaker 6: you care about that program having life again, you should
- 38:55Speaker 6: be fired the hell up about this because this was,
- 39:00Speaker 6: in my opinion, the only way that you could fix
- 39:03Speaker 6: the LSU men's basketball program from where it was to
- 39:08Speaker 6: what we want.
- 39:08Speaker 3: It to be, to just take it back to what
- 39:10Speaker 3: it was before.
- 39:11Speaker 8: Like, I think he brings that belief because he's done
- 39:14Speaker 8: it before, and like he didn't get to coach whenever
- 39:17Speaker 8: they made it to the sweet sixteen, but he still
- 39:19Speaker 8: like curated that team.
- 39:20Speaker 3: He still took him to that point.
- 39:22Speaker 8: So I think that's why everybody, most people, I would say,
- 39:25Speaker 8: like majority of people are very excited to have will
- 39:28Speaker 8: back because not only that, but like he just has
- 39:31Speaker 8: a great personality.
- 39:34Speaker 7: Like it's not it fits what we want.
- 39:36Speaker 8: Exactly right, Like I I guess great personality might not
- 39:39Speaker 8: be the best way to put it, but like, but
- 39:41Speaker 8: for us, it is.
- 39:42Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very entertaining.
- 39:44Speaker 8: It's very like you're breathing life into a program that
- 39:48Speaker 8: was dead for the past three or four years.
- 39:50Speaker 5: And that's all you have to do. Like I hear
- 39:53Speaker 5: people say, oh, can will Wade truly win big?
- 39:55Speaker 10: Here?
- 39:56Speaker 4: Is he going to fail at LSU's second time around?
- 39:59Speaker 4: I would be all that matters is from day one
- 40:02Speaker 4: he gets here is there's going to be energy guys.
- 40:06Speaker 4: LSU men's basketball they were they met COVID restrictions this
- 40:10Speaker 4: year in the p MAC.
- 40:11Speaker 5: I mean they had room to spare.
- 40:12Speaker 4: They didn't have to worry about the six feet apart
- 40:14Speaker 4: thing because there was nobody in the building. It was
- 40:16Speaker 4: a graveyard. It's not going to be that way with
- 40:19Speaker 4: Will Wade. Like, yeah, there's a lot of people that
- 40:21Speaker 4: are still going to watch every game. But do I
- 40:23Speaker 4: want to sit there and watch a losing basketball team?
- 40:26Speaker 9: No?
- 40:26Speaker 4: I don't, And like, I don't think anybody's going to
- 40:29Speaker 4: be like, oh, in year two, Will Wade's got to
- 40:30Speaker 4: win a national championship. It's never happened here. Like, if
- 40:33Speaker 4: you're Will Wade and you're here twenty years, you make
- 40:35Speaker 4: three to four Final Four appearances, your dale Brown, and
- 40:38Speaker 4: your name's on the basketball court. That's what this LSU
- 40:41Speaker 4: basketball program is. Like, I'm not asking Will Wade to
- 40:44Speaker 4: come in and completely turn this thing around in one
- 40:47Speaker 4: year because it's going to be hard to do that
- 40:48Speaker 4: even with the portal. I see these people though online.
- 40:52Speaker 4: Pete Thamil one of them. Huge shocker there. Pete Thamil
- 40:56Speaker 4: said Will Wade back at LSU after a mess process. Okay,
- 41:02Speaker 4: you can hate the fact that LSU rehired Will Wade.
- 41:06Speaker 4: Nothing about this as a messy. From the day you
- 41:09Speaker 4: hired Wade Ruse, you were bringing Will Wade back. This
- 41:13Speaker 4: was this was always in place. You hired way Rus,
- 41:16Speaker 4: you hired he destroyer, you got rid of Scott Woodward
- 41:19Speaker 4: before all that, who is the one who fired Will Wade?
- 41:21Speaker 4: There was nothing about this It was a messy. This
- 41:23Speaker 4: was some he methodical and planned out. Like I know
- 41:26Speaker 4: earlier we were talking about, oh, this happened very quickly.
- 41:29Speaker 5: Yeah, to us it did.
- 41:31Speaker 4: But I mean if you if you go look at
- 41:32Speaker 4: the process, this was all lined up for it. And
- 41:35Speaker 4: then Sean Farnum Farnham yesterday said Will Wade is returning
- 41:40Speaker 4: to the place he left in shambles. He didn't leave,
- 41:43Speaker 4: he didn't choose to leave this program. He was let
- 41:45Speaker 4: go because, in my opinion, you had really weak leadership
- 41:48Speaker 4: at the time. He's back, He's cleaning up a mess
- 41:51Speaker 4: that should never have been made and folk should be
- 41:53Speaker 4: excited about it.
- 41:57Speaker 7: You're right.
- 41:58Speaker 6: I mean, there was some things set in motion and
- 42:00Speaker 6: that allowed this to become a reality, and it wasn't
- 42:03Speaker 6: gonna happen to Scott Woodward was still athletic director. It
- 42:06Speaker 6: just wasn't going to on either side, right Like Scott
- 42:11Speaker 6: Snicker bring Will back, Will wasn't coming back if that
- 42:13Speaker 6: was the case. But Urgin's playing no verge, going for it.
- 42:20Speaker 6: Bases are loaded. He ain't worried about a walk right now.
- 42:23Speaker 6: He's trying to light He's trying to find something that
- 42:26Speaker 6: that he can put into play and pick up a
- 42:28Speaker 6: couple of RBIs right now and he's swinging.
- 42:30Speaker 3: Meant to do it. Yeah, I said it yesterday.
- 42:33Speaker 8: You basically got the death penalty without the NCAA giving.
- 42:36Speaker 3: It to you.
- 42:38Speaker 5: I love we bring the national media love it.
- 42:42Speaker 6: Sorry, all right, we'll take that break. We'll continue this
- 42:45Speaker 6: conversation when we come back here on No TV.
- 42:47Speaker 2: Off the bench, all right.

- 44:21Speaker 7: Coming over you?
- 44:22Speaker 6: All right, welcome back O TV here live from the
- 44:24Speaker 6: Raising Kine studio. Do you want to get to this comment?
- 44:30Speaker 6: Jonesy says Jacob. But Will was paying players before most
- 44:34Speaker 6: teams were any study.
- 44:35Speaker 3: That's not true.
- 44:37Speaker 7: Now I was read one million dollars when other teams
- 44:39Speaker 7: were paying.
- 44:40Speaker 8: Entucky before most teams Will were actually incorrect, Like that's fair,
- 44:47Speaker 8: but there are multiple coaches that were under investigation and
- 44:51Speaker 8: multiple coaches that were paying players.
- 44:54Speaker 3: That's just factually incorrect.
- 44:55Speaker 6: I think what the person was trying to do was
- 44:58Speaker 6: saying that's why they were good.
- 45:01Speaker 7: You can't say that because what he.
- 45:03Speaker 8: Did make I was about to say, we did this
- 45:05Speaker 8: last season, like we talked about this last season, because
- 45:08Speaker 8: to answer your question, T Bob was like on he
- 45:11Speaker 8: was a Matt McMahon like keep him like was not
- 45:14Speaker 8: down with Will Wade because him and I would talk
- 45:16Speaker 8: about it and we like did this last season.
- 45:18Speaker 3: Yeah, look at what he do.
- 45:20Speaker 8: You think McNeese has the same resources as everybody else does.
- 45:23Speaker 7: Two different teams to the tournament.
- 45:24Speaker 6: Right, and the NC statement doesn't hold.
- 45:28Speaker 4: On twenty and fifteen at NC State and people be like, oh,
- 45:31Speaker 4: that's kind of an average record. Yeah, but they had
- 45:32Speaker 4: a losing record, so it's like you have to you
- 45:35Speaker 4: have to look at what the team was before you
- 45:37Speaker 4: got Yeah.
- 45:38Speaker 6: Yeah, look, this is not the place that you're going
- 45:41Speaker 6: to steal our son John.
- 45:42Speaker 7: We are too fired up. We know too much about
- 45:44Speaker 7: what he can do for the basketball progra.
- 45:46Speaker 8: The people that think that, like LSU cut a two
- 45:49Speaker 8: hundred million dollar check for all of the coaches and
- 45:51Speaker 8: all of the buyouts in one go kill me. Do
- 45:55Speaker 8: you think they're just straight up up front giving Lane
- 45:58Speaker 8: Kiffen ninety one million dollars.
- 45:59Speaker 3: No, that's over what seven years?
- 46:01Speaker 4: And nobody's saying that Will Wade's gonna come in and
- 46:03Speaker 4: win a Natty year one. But he's won everywhere he's been.
- 46:06Speaker 6: This is the most we've talked about LSU basketball in
- 46:08Speaker 6: four years. Yep, yep, I mean.
- 46:12Speaker 3: Exactly.
- 46:13Speaker 6: Yeah, because we start talking about them and then it
- 46:15Speaker 6: would go south, and then nobody would want to come
- 46:18Speaker 6: home because it was going south, and we're like, okay, cool,
- 46:20Speaker 6: you'd be like, we'll talk about.
- 46:21Speaker 5: It, okay. Gods, why did they lose by twenty eight?
- 46:23Speaker 9: Kid?
- 46:24Speaker 5: Well, they're not good.
- 46:26Speaker 6: All right, we got Jared Mitchell'll talk about LSU baseball,
- 46:29Speaker 6: probably football too, because that's what Jay Mitch can do
