[Assistant] Is acting like Dolph Ziggler's number one fan. And because he is Dolph Ziggler's number one fan and Dolph Ziggler is always taking opportunities from other people, he's gotten him an opportunity to face a mask.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Ali was in the crowd with a big sign that says, we love Dolph Ziggler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most character I've seen out of Muzaffar Ali in a while now...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Possibly ever, because the babyface run that they did in the trips era did not work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I bless him for trying, but it didn't, it did not capture the crowd's imagination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blessed Ali, he tried Retribution, but it, you know, it was dead on arrival.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you might be right, it's actually, it's, it's not as much from the, the, the presidential thing that he was doing, the cancelled character that he wanted to do, which was really, really good, incredible performance. But I really enjoyed this. Yeah, it's fun. What happened to all the Hurt Business stuff though?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They basically, Maxine says, yeah, I'll consider it if you can take out Chad Gable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's great. And actually genuinely made me excited for a Baron Corbin match. Thumbs up to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We then got Bloodline backstage, the Heyman and Jimmy thing we talked about earlier. Finn Balor took on Johnny Gargano. They kind of were pitching this on Twitter to be like a big follow up to their takeover match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was not that because this was, again, uh, wrestling that was inconsequential because it was there to set up a, you'll never guess this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time this company really does take me by surprise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Edge just goes off TV for a week and then comes back and is meant to be like, oh my god, Edge is back! It's like, oh, we've been doing this time after time after time. And I'm really over it now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this was, this was no good. Dexter Loomis was also there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well he's worked with Johnny Gargano, isn't he?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Christian has and always has been the better of the two. So, I'm not saying that Vince is back in creative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not saying that Vince is back. I'm not saying that Vince is having a hand in production. I'm not saying that Vince is, uh, in the writer's room. I'm not saying that Vince is pitching ideas, although Brock vs Amos sure does feel like one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not saying that at all. According to the reports, he was in Guerrilla all night, but it was Triple H making all of the decisions and all the final calls. However, what happened next was we had


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They even got a recap of Piper Niven vs Candice Lurie from Raw last week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we got a recap of a YouTube clip where Niven attacked, um, uh, Candice LeRae.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we got Piperdip in making her entrance for her match with Nikki Cross.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, this does not happen in the Triple H era of lore. And it's just, and I'm not saying, I'm not saying this was a Vince call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it just seems incredibly coincidental. This happens the first time since Vince has been gone. Happened on the show where Vince was back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was not very good also, like, oh man, you can tell Vince is back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, we had a backstage segment, uh, where Rick Booze, as I had, there's a bit of an epiphany in this segment. Oh yea? So, I've been, you know- I've got so much more of this show to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know. Uhm, actually not that much, only two more segments. Uhm, we, when Matt Riddle, when Randy Orton was out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they just sort of replaced Randy Orton with Elias and hoped that we didn't notice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, oh yeah, you're just, you're just budget Randy Orton, but you're a budget RK bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But anyway, this led to a comedy segment where, um, uh, Boogs accidentally got Elias a match with Bronson Reed for next week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He genuinely choked up by the reaction that he got. Yea, that was nice. Really, really nice. Great to see Jon back. Um, Austin Theory came out before Cena could even say anything. And I bet you we wish that he didn't. He wants a match with Jon at WrestleMania. And Cena says no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because, like, Sena says no. And he's like, you are, you're not ready for this. Which is amazing, because that's the, it's all things that we've been saying. They shouldn't have put him in, they shouldn't have given him money in the bank. It was not the right time to put money in the bank on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two years time, yes, but at that point he was not ready for that position. When he was doing all the golden egg stuff with Vince, he was like, you are not ready for this position you're being put into. This is too much, too fast. And it's kind of what Sina was saying here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, theory took some, you know, some easy shots being like, oh, you're going bald. You're bald. You've got a bald patch. Um, which it seems it's done a very good come over job with and, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I really liked it because like your t-shirt says never give up and your hat says respect, but you're showing me no respect and it really feels like you're giving up on this match. And then Cena, Jesus Christ, says, look,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is my gift to you to not have a match with me at WrestleMania because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was just gonna let you leave in one piece, but now I can't. And I'm gonna have to tell you some real truths.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would rather be going bald than have WWE pipe in fake crowd noise to make it sound like people care about me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, Rock, you've got your promo written in your hand there. Yeaah. In your wrist. Yeaah. Like really like exposing of the tactics and you know, and things like that. This was a character going out on a WWE show admitting that WWE pipe in fake crowd noise for their wrestlers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually really like this. I thought Sena's promo, like, cause again, it felt like very, very real. I thought it was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this was more just a, like, this was a complete decimation of the Austin Theory character.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That we have now got three weeks to almost rebuild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this, maybe this is what theory needs in order to come out of this, because I think he's winning at Mania.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope he does. I think he is going to beat John Cena at WrestleMania.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that is going to be part, like, that's going to make this promo feel even more epic because he proved Jon wrong, particularly if he wins clean, which I think he should do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That line was a real killer. Like that, yea, the whole of WWE pipes and crowd noise for you because people do not care about us. For me, you are a failed experiment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, even when he said like, like you're in a lose-lose situation because you either lose to me and you lose everything or you beat me and then you got to come out on the roar after me and I'm not going to be there to get you reactions. You're going to have to do that on your own. That's a lose-lose situation for you to be in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how many shows Cena's on, which is going to be my other, my other problem we might have with this feud is it's another wrestler that's having a feud with a video screen. We've got a lot on Raw. I hope we're going to get more of Cena. I hope we do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huh? Oh, and then I was like, and then Baron Corbin came and I was like, oh, also there is no Cody promo. Where did Cody go?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then we had Chad Gable versus Baron Corbin. Um, this, we came back from the ad break and Kevin Patrick, in another example of him being very bad at his job, but being fed lies to make him sound bad, said, we are in front of an electric crowd here in Boston. This crowd was deathly silent for Baron Corbin versus Chad Gable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We hear crickets going on. They wrestled to silence and then Gable tapped Corbin out. It was a nothing match. It was pretty quick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we then had, uh, the final segment we were talking about on this show. Team Beckstream coming out for a promo segment. They are the new Women's Tag Team Champions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they talk about how they made history together and they brought out Trish Stratus. And they're about to sort of like have a little chinwag and stuff. But now come Damage Control who are very annoyed because they lost the belts. And Trish steps up and says, look, I can quite quickly go from I am retired to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are apparently, reportedly twists and turns coming in this story. May I pitch you mine? Now, I'm gonna preface, this is needlessly convoluted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's almost too many moving pieces to this, but I like it's outcome. Okay. So, TRIO's match at WrestleMania.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dakota and Io do not want to be in this match. Yes. But quite categorically they do not, they have basically showed us in this segment they do not want to be part of this match. They've also been very angry at Bayley accepting matches on their behalf. That's how they've lost the tag team titles. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Bailey's like, nooo my friends! And Bailey's getting like yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chick kick to Becky, chick kick to Leta.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bailey still wins. And you can split it off then into Team Bek's Dream versus Bailey and Lita versus- Bailey and Trish? Bailey and Trish, rather, versus Dakota and Io in a three-way feud over the women's tag titles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's what I would do. Uh, but I'm, you know, we'll see where it goes. But that was raw, um, with the main event that we've already talked about. I had a, I had a fun time with this show. And I think part of that was though, it's the first raw in ages where I come over being like, oh wow, that was worth watching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let us know what you thought. The poll is up now. You can join in. Thumbs up, thumbs down, thumbs in the middle. Let your voice be heard. Let's give a shout out to some of our wonderful pledgehammers over on patreon.com forward slash WrestleTalk. Let's have a quick check of the poll, shall we, people? We're going for WrestleTalk Extra. Oh boy, yeah. Is it live?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And let's have a look, except those cookies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It has ended and 40% Wrestlemania X8 has won the poll. So Oli Davis and I will be reviewing Wrestlemania X8 for WrestleTalk Extra. Someone pointed out in one of the comments, I'll shout out their name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a really good run. It's a good run right there. So yeaah. So that'll be coming out later on this month. Tomorrow is Rust Talk Behind the Scenes. Myself, Pete and Ollie Davis talking about the behind the scenes going on in Rust Talk. And the week after that will be after dark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost doubled in terms of bad WrestleMania main events. Uh, but we've also got our very special $25 and above pledge hammers that get shouted out on this very show, like the venerable Jesse Venable, the cleaner Kenny


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This next one has an opening sentence that really upsets me about that. Oh dear. This is another unknown user, and their first sentence is, I hope my username shows up like it didn't yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Koji Moons, to quote AJ Styles in relation to the Vincent creative rumours, I'm not saying it's true, I'm just saying there's some stuff about it which makes you think it's true. Yeah. That.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is my favorite comment of the day. Thank you very much, that's really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] MarcelArts, what an awesome show! Cody, Sammy, Seth, Gunther, Drew, Cesaro, Malachi, Blank, Brian Danielson, Eddie Kingston, all of them and more have been part of WXW's 16 karat gold in the past! And this weekend is at it again! You're missing out, and you are missed. Thank you Marcel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, one year I might go. Yeah, I know. Well, Ollie's now, I think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if, if WWE can't do it, I wonder if Oli will just do it himself. You know, he's always looking for new investments. He's just going to buy WXW and just shut it down. Yeah. That's the best way to use it, I think. All just to stop Dan and Marcel Artz once a year asking if we're going to come to 16 karat gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tom Solisano is giving five member ships. You are awesome. Let's do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and lastly here for now, uh, Joseph Ray's been a member for 19 months in a row, says, Hey guys, Luke, since you're a cool nerd like me, what's your new thought, thoughts on the new TMNT movie announcement? I think it looks like it'll be pretty alright. I have not actually watched it yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then it just, I have, I got home yesterday and my kid, uh, struggled to go down to bed. And then I was recording my podcast from half eight until midnight. And then I was just like, I, I'm again, not in the right frame of mind to watch the trailer. And then I was up at six to watch raw this morning. And then I've been working nonstop since I got into work today. So I just have not found the time to watch it yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I, uh, I did have an extensive chat about it on my, uh, my other Patreon show that I do. Yeah. Because the toys were, uh, leaked a couple of weeks ago. And I love the Mitchell versus Machines animation style. So I'm so, like, I love the fact that they've got them involved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it is a wicked cast. As a TMNT head, I'm just like, oh man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leatherhead, Mondo, Gecko, they're like, you're bringing out all the cool characters! Like, you're gonna, like, this is gonna be a really, really fun, like, celebration of TMNT and stuff, and I love any iteration or new take on the turtles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I feel like it might be, like even the logo, I mean like my friend Ash was talking about on our podcast, like the logo for Mutant Mayhem and I was like, this looks like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm watching a lot of Great British Menu at the moment, and, uh, they keep talking about, like, foams and stuff that are called spoons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Silly word. You know, chef there with a courgette spuma.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna end the poll. It is very favorable this week. We have got 76% saying thumbs up, 21% saying thumbs in the middle, 2% thumbs down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is a very, very good score for Raw this week. But that is all we've got time for on this show. Our moderators will be putting out links to our brand new channel. We're going to be launching Cutscene. I'm going to be doing video essays, like 20 half an hour minute essays about video game movies. We're going to be launching that in April. We're going to be doing a live Q&A session tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To kind of talk about the project a little bit more as we try and get our way to a thousand subs as quickly as we can so YouTube will like us. And please do click subscribe if you are a first time here because tomorrow is the next episode of worst match ever. I can't wait. It might be the best one yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think so. I think it might be the best one yet, and I cannot wait for you all to see it. That's out tomorrow. It did come out yesterday because of the Revolution Review, so tomorrow at 3pm. Thank you all so much for watching, I've been Luke, I'm in D.A.D. That has been Pete! Gem that gem!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uh, thanks for taking the time to sit down. Uh, we've been like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, sort of in each other's Twitter periphery for a long time, but, uh, I'd always thought it'd be interesting to sit down and shoot the shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interesting. No, no, no, no, like I, I definitely only have people on that I like, I want to talk to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and you, you are, you've been someone who I'm like, yeah, I think it would be very interesting to kind of get to know you better. Uh, I, uh, first got, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I found out about you or whatever, uh, it was probably Retsupure, Retsupure, right? Yeah. Uhm, but, uh, just over the years, uhm, you know, I've been enjoying your shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, I guess one thing I've always been curious to ask you about is, for those of you listening who may not be aware, you are the creator of Let's Plays. Uh, the concept of a Let's Play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, how do you feel about being the creator of that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you don't have to say, like, what you do, but do you, like, do you enjoy your full-time job, or is it just like, eh, it's a job, you just, you know, just gotta work, get paid, feed the family?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I totally see what you're saying because, I mean, for me, like, the, I can't go, like, the, the, the, the concept of going to a con just for fun at this point, it doesn't exist anymore, unfortunately. It's like, it is the thing of like, yes, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think I, the last, one of the last cons I tried to go to, well, I was still technically there I think for like business, I was with the company, uh, Anime Expo, but the, but the, the frequency of the, of the photos was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I look back on sort of like, cause you know, I was a big congoer, uh, you know, I went to Otacon like every year, uh, since like 20, god, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's something that sort of happened and I'm just sort of going, okay, well it happened and whatever, we're just gonna see what, what, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Run with it, but uhm, a lot of people thrive on that, uhm, and I don't thrive on that at all. I, I, I'm grateful, I never want to, I never want to appear ungrateful for people liking my shit or liking what I do, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I, if I could, uh, like, kinda go back to nobody knowing my face, that's a pretty, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a pretty tempting thought, but at the same time, I, I can't be like ungrateful for what, you know, things have led to, but uhm, it's interesting because I, I, I, I'm always telling people or talking to people about, uh, the value of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finding joy in stuff outside of your work, or even your creative output, right? Or doing creative stuff cause you enjoy it, which, when you mention, you know, the ROM stuff, that, that's, that's exactly kind of like what I hope people can find, cause a lot of people chase, you know, sort of fun and fame, or a, a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, how to monetize everything, like, uh, one of the biggest thing that irks me


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is when people are like, why don't you stream it? Or why don't you, and I'm like, I don't want to fucking stream it. Like I, I want to play a board game with my friends. Like I don't, I don't need to stream or do anything. Uh, I've only recently kind of gotten into it because of charity stuff, but, uh, otherwise, I don't know. I, it's not, I find,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just cool to me because like you said, like uhm, some people, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or, you know, it's just time, like, you know, some people, you know, you can put it on in the background, you know, there's, there's a lot of really sort of interesting and kind of cool ways that people like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's also been interesting sort of seeing the morph to, cause I didn't mean to knock streaming before, cause I enjoy streaming when I do it, and uhm, I also totally get like sometimes you're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, I just wanna like, uh, you know, shoot the shit with some people and hang out. Uh, I find my, my sort of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take on it is, with any sort of like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's been interesting seeing sort of the jump from YouTube to Twitch because obviously, I mean, YouTube sucks, like the algorithm is terrible and you know, it doesn't, it does not suit, uh, gameplay. Like obviously,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, with Twitch, it's much, not easier, but kind of. It's in its own way somewhat easier to just play without having to worry about editing it and that sort of thing. But at the same time, there's this sort of, fuck, if you stop streaming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, there is definitely, I think, more accountability, right? Cause it's like, maybe more of a direct interaction with you. Uh, as opposed to just leaving a fucking shitty comment on Orando's video. Uh, I don't know, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's a good attitude to go about shit, right? Like, chasing shit you don't like just because people want you to do it is fucking miserable. So I, I, I admire creators like that, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I, I always get the sense when I, you know, when I see stuff that you, you post or whatever, it's like, oh yea, this guy is just a gen, like, genuine, like, not...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not preoccupied with that sort of thing. Now, sort of pivoting away from like Twitch and YouTube and all that. Maybe even games. I'm just curious, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are there any sort of, uhm, interests or hobbies or passions you have outside of gaming that people might not know about necessarily, uh, at first glance?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so the beach, uh, the beach, what, what are, just what are your go-to activities on the beach? Just lounging around, doing barbecuing, what, like, what are you, what are you doing when you're at that, at that beach?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, got it. You just want to just fucking relax.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is there an ideal, like, the best beach you've ever been to?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, sure. I'm gonna be straight with you. Which one's boogie boy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uh, I was going to say real quick, my, uh, you're, you're sort of, my wife's family has, uh, like a, uh, kind of like a place, uh, in Ocean City. Are you familiar with Ocean City in New Zealand? Uh, and it reminds me a lot of that, where there's a boardwalk and it's a nice, it's a nice, like, kind of tour, like, touristy but fun area. Like we've gone there a couple of times and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's funny because I grew up in the Midwest most of my life, so ocean waves intimidate the fuck out of me. Uh, I'm used to lakes. I'm used to lakes where there are no waves, all the beaches were lakes, and then actually going into an ocean and it like moving you around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't imagine going that far, that would be terrifying to me. Like, and I can swim, like I can swim but like, oh god, that is a nightmare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you were mentioning you wanted to, or you like trying new things, uh, maybe I interrupted you, but what were some, are there any like things that either, uh, you've been wanting to try or anything like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you actually gonna take steps to do this or is this like a that would be cool sort of thing at the moment?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did your stance on the, uh, AR15s change? Or are you still, do you still feel the same way about, uh, about them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be totally blunt. Yeah, I am in agreement in that I do not think the automatic weapons should be allowed. I mean, they are made to kill people. It is not, you know, I understand. I actually see where you're coming from as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The appeal of it? I've never fired one. But I'm sure if I did, I would also be like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn, that was pretty cool. You know, it's like, uh, there is a level of almost like hypocrisy. You watch like, I don't know, fucking John Wick, and you're like, that's really cool. But it's like, but, you know, you know, there's, so I understand that, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause, cause I'm, I'm, I feel like we're kinda on the same page where I'm like, I mean, yea, like, like, rifles and, you know, guns, guns that don't just shoot like, fucking, you know, tons of rounds a second, right? It's like, yea, yea, that, you know, people hunt, people do, you know, uh, even for protection, sure, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's, it's just, and then, you know, I, you know, I have friends in other countries, you know, I have a very good friend who lives in Australia and it's like, yeah, no, it worked for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, but it's such a, like you said, a very just fucking tangled and just, uh, I mean, and not just that, this whole fucking country, right? It's just so tangled and fucking, it's a mess, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeaah, like, I, I, I, it's very interesting that you, cause I don't know a lot of people who, uh, have like, actual, like, you know, fire gun experience, and I, I mean, I would be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not, I'm not like, oh, I'm gonna go out of my way to do it, but if it were presented to me, it's like, hey, you wanna learn? That would be interesting. I'm kinda like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe not as daring as you in like the, uh, try any, every, every new thing, anything, but I, uh, it's, if it's, as long as it's like relatively safe, uh, yeah, like, I mean, that, that is an interesting experience that I would not necessarily say no to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, I see, I see. I'm totally with you on this. I will try any food. Uh, that is where I am in one of the most adventurous, yes. Uh, but the meat was good. It tasted good, but bony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gotcha. Are they popular? I mean, are they regularly, uh, there? Or is it more of a novelty for them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've had Silkworm Pupa and it was fine. I wasn't a big fan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I, uh, would like to know other sort of interesting foods you've tried. You got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, any, any other, uh, things at that, uh, that he, was, was there something where you were like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He brought it and you're like, what? This is like, baby shit. Like, or, oh, this is, this is delicious. Anything like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, let's see, I'm trying to think of things that are like sort of out of the, out of the sort of quote unquote norm. Uhm, you ever have jellyfish?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once, yeaah. It's okay, I'm not crazy about it. I thought it was gross. Uhm, I've had, uhm, have you ever had, like, uh, I had raw beef heart, like in a sorta tartare, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, not bad. Like pretty, pretty good. Like, if you, if, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one had told me it was heart. I think it would've, cause I've had tartar before, but this was specifically heart. Uh, and uh, yeaah, pretty good. Like, kind of a, you know, savory, maybe slightly bitter, but still like, good. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's see, some stuff that's like, I don't think is uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah yeaah yeaah. Uh, just next, have you ever seen lingua on a, on a menu at a taco place? Uh, it's crispy, fatty tongue in, in a taco, it's delicious. Uh, tripe is really good, uhm. I hate tripe. Really? I hadn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, in a, actually, funnily enough, in a taco, uh, if you get tripe that's really crispy, uh, I'm sure some people would not be able to tell the difference between it and like, say, almost like a bacon. Like, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true, but I mean it was tasty enough where you could have taken it out of the taco and I think it still would have been good, but your mileage is gonna vary on that sort of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, some people, uh, actually, uh, it's very great. People like to suck, suck the stuff out of the head. Uh, if you've ever done that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, and, um, do you, like, I also saw a similar thing, like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you a fan of like, you know, cracking open a crab and it's got the mustard they call it inside? The sort of like, paste? It's basically like it's liver or whatever the fuck it is. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That shit's pretty good, like, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or, one of my favorite things is there's a Korean dish where it's uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ganjang gejang, where it's, uh, you take, it's like a crab that's been marinated in soy sauce, and so the in, but it's, it's like raw, and so the in, you crack it open, and the inside of the crab, the, the meat has like almost, uhm, because of the marinade, it's like almost, not liquefied, but it's like almost like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's see. Yeah, yeah, it's great. Uhm, now, uh, you're very adventurous with food. Uh, is there anything else you've got? We've got, we've covered guns, we've covered, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you playing, like, the original, like, just straight up PS2? Are you playing, like, the remake, like, the version?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't that the one with the rain down the building? Right? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I think I know exactly what you're talking about. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, to me it's the same level of power that Archie Comics had with the Sonic franchise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, that level of, the audacity of like, they, how on earth did Square Enix, how did Nomura get to do this? And they were like, yeah, that looked, yeah, that's good. Well, I mean, it made a shitload of money, so I think that's why they're like, fine, we'll allow it, but my god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you going to play, uh, are you going to play Chain of Memories?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I was gonna say, I've only played one chain of memories, two only, oh my god that's still a lot, like, and uh, 358 over a few days, which is a terrible game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's fun. Like, it's, it's, I actually like the battle system in it a lot. That's not a popular opinion. It's like, kind of like a deck-build-y kind of thing. I've heard, yeah. But uh, yeah, you have to, what's crazy about those games is you have to play Jaina Memories to understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty much. Are, are you, have you started Chain of Memories? Or are you, uh, are you going to? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy to me that you don't have, uh, you haven't even, like, from peripheral, like, Twitter or anything? You're spoiler free?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that, that's honestly very pure. I'm glad you have untainted, like, lack, just, you can just go in and experience, cause, let me tell you, Kingdom Hearts 1, if you thought that was wild, in terms of the fucking anime nonsense and bullshit and the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, so you didn't know Billy Zane was in one, so you don't know any of the, anyone who's like gonna be in the other games or anything, right? Actor-wise? No. Oh my, okay. You're in for a fucking wild ride. Oh my god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uh, I won't say anything. I'm just very excited to, uh, see, yeah, like, yeah, just, man, that's, that's great. You may inspire me to go back and finally finish the other games I didn't play. Probably not, but, uh, maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So your daughter plays Fall Guys, does she play or have any interest in any other games? Do you see her, do you see her like going into that hobby? Or do you think just like, what is her, whatever interest sort of led her so far?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That game is hard enough, uh, with adults.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a god damn- I cannot imagine, uh, that's cool though that that's- but she likes it. She's having a good time even if dad is like, God fucking damn it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see. Are there any games that you, like, you said you're scared of her playing Kingdom Hearts, are there any games that you're like, ooh, but I would love to show you one day, like this game maybe, if you're interested, like anything, anything like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, but you like anime. Uh, the answer I give to a lot of people is uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chihayafuru, I don't know if you've ever heard me talk about that anime. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The people who are listening to this podcast have, but I'll give you a brief, because it sounds really boring, but it's great. It's basically about a Japanese poetry game called Karuta, where they have verses written on these cards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, a reader reads a verse and then it's like a reflex game where you just have to hit a card that has the right verse as faster than the other player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and it's an entire anime, three seasons so far, based off of that, but it's my favorite anime of all time. Uh, it's great, great characters, actually genuinely exciting to watch. Uhm, that's the one I always, uh, tell people. Uhm, in terms of movies?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what's a really great one I was introduced to recently? Is you ever watch, uh, One Cut of the Dead?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But just watch it sometime. It's a, it's a Japanese movie, and it, it's like, it, you just watch it, you're gonna have a great time. It's a, just a wonderful, just imaginative movie. So, uh, I would, I would highly recommend that to you and anybody listening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I play a lot of board games now, but video games I've definitely fallen behind on, but let me see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm, probably something on DS or 3DS or something. Let me see. Uuuh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I would say, usually there's stuff like, you know, I always want people to play like Ace Attorney, cause I love Ace Attorney. Uhm, Rhythm Heaven I think is a really great series of just underrated games. Uhm, Zero Escape, have you ever played those? I think those are-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel exactly the same way as you do. I was like, I loved Virtue's Last Reward, I loved 999, and then Zero Time Luma finally came out and I had the fucking like, clock thing that came with it, and then that game was just such a disappointment. I was like, ugh. How did you drop the ball?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, yeaah. I need to replay those at some point. Uh, cause they have a collection now, like, right? Or something? Or the first two at least?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it all three? It's all three on Steam, yeaah. Hmm, okay, I might have to pick that up at some point, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so I think to finish off, I'm just gonna bring the question back to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's more about the story than, uh, just the script? Absolutely. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That does sound really cool. Yeah, I, uh, I don't have a Sega CD, so I'll probably have to look it up, maybe look up a playthrough at some point. Unless they do like a re-release or something. Do you think that's ever a thing they could do? Never.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where can you get it now? Like, what platform?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll have to check that out again, I have a couple friends who were really excited that it got brought back, uh, and I've heard nothing but good things, but like, because it was out for a hot second, right, and then it got taken down?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I genuinely would like to check that out, so that, I'll have to, I'll have to, I'm not, I don't even play a lot of horror games, but just what the people who I know, including you, who have like spoken about it, how good it is, that's what interests me, that it has apparently a really, really good story, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gotcha. Cool. Well, yeah, thank you for sitting down, man. This has been a lot of fun. Uh, where can people find you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out to the mighty who that nation, man. How y'all doing tonight? Much love to the fam. Appreciate y'all being in this live. And this one here fam.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know some of the family members around the area probably going through the same stuff right now as the temperatures are dropping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not like, uh, up north family members, but you gotta understand hard freeze warnings down here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we take it seriously, just like you would in other places, but you know, we just have to watch out, man. So y'all be safe. Tomorrow is the temperature supposed to plunge a bit and get a little cold. So y'all guys bundle up and, um, y'all keep it easy, man.

You're now rocking with the sports coma with Big Q and the guys, but we have intense, entertaining, educating, and enlightening sports talk from your favorite sports fam. Let's pop it. Shout out to the fam that's with here. Open up the stream, man. Fixing the New Orleans Saints.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is easy to fix the new wall and sinks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Granted, you have to be serious about doing some fixing of the New Orleans Saints, but it could be done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It could be done. So before we get going on, please feel free, family hit the like button, hit the subscribe button. And by all means, feel free to share the show on your social media feed. It helps us out a great deal. We in this thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so let's just jump right into it, man. Shout out to you guys. Let's get right into some of this stuff here. This is taken from an article right here. And man, listen, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's been a rough season, man. You know, I had to take a couple of days back, kind of looking at things. I did watch a couple of the football games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Playoff games this past weekend, I watched the Cowboys get shellacked by the Packers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The same Packer Club that we allowed to come back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, with 11 minutes left to go in the third quarter and beat us 18 to 17, the Packers took advantage. They were able to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beat the crap out of the Cowboys, which is always fun to watch the Cowboys win 12 games and then losing the first round. That's always fun. And the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who we split with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, you know, in a playoffs trying to take care of business as well. So it's very interesting man to see how things kind of looking at his Tampa Bay. Did they think against the Eagles or the Eagles? Could you imagine? So we talk about two playoff shockers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of people anticipating the Eagles to beat the Buccaneers and the Cowboys beating the pack. Uh, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It went the opposite way and both of them were nice handily wins by opposite teams. Baker Mayfield bucks over the Eagles. Jordan loves pack over the Cowboys. Pretty cool, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it ain't really fun to hear about, you know, cause that should have been our squad there. But in the end, you know, it is what it is, but Mickey Loomis and Dennis Allen are disappointed. They disappointed each. Boy, every time I hear that, that just, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That just, just infuriates me. So shout out to the fan. Appreciate y'all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see you Carla. Shout out to the queens in this thing. Much love to you, Carla, Barbara. Good to see y'all in the chat as well. Much love. Appreciate y'all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gundam on the rest of the fam. Kim, I see you slim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Much love, bronze flat power guy. Shout out to you, man. Appreciate all y'all. Mauling, mauling this thing. KK, what's popping?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good to see you in the building as well, man. But listen, it's cool, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is very cool, but we gonna go over this stuff and this is an article from Saints News Network. Shout out to Brother Kyle T and the rest of the team at Saints News Network. Putting this one together. Fixing the Saints in the off season. Saints have a lot of things to figure out over the next several months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though the season just ended, the saints having a debrief after a lost year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And will need to work on a 2024 plan now to be better positioned themselves when they take the field again in June for mandatory minicamp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, the saints had everything. They had everything. They had it all and they squandered it. They mismanaged it. It's not like one of them situations where, you know, hold on just a second. Yeah, but it's just to me going through everything that we've seen this past season and watching these people mismanaged, mismanaged time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the most valuable resource that we had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they just squandered it. They waste time. That's what the saints do under Mickey Lomas and Dennis Allen. They waste time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, this is a league where if you're losing these games, you're losing them because something wrong. You're not handling your business. But all the talent that we had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mismanagement. Mismanagement was the key ingredient this year. Mismanagement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dennis Allen mismanaging his team. Mickey Luma is not managing anything, which is a form of mismanagement. And do I expect these two people to do anything different and achieve next year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they're anticipating it to be a softer schedule, there will, you will never get a softer schedule than what you got last year. I don't care what the new reports are showing this other stuff. Everything was set up for the saints to achieve it. And when things went awry, which is, it's not, listen, I'm gonna go through this stuff, but please bear in mind family, the saints don't have a talent issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have a management issue. That's a whole nother thing. And the guys that's managing the team are not proactive during the season. When coaches are not coaching the offense or the defense correctly, they don't do anything about it. They don't go there and switch out play callers. If there's a problem with the offense, like Pete Carr, Michael,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At all that stuff that was going on early in the season when the offense was stinking, not scoring any touchdowns and they were kicking field goals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was under fire every week and Dennis Allen stood up there and made excuses for him and protected him while the offense was falling through the floor. That's, that's, if you were more proactive right there, things could have changed. You might've won the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You might have won more and that makes a difference. You could have won more game, maybe two games, but he didn't do anything. He just let it be. And that's the same in Dennis Allen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't really blame him, even though I know, and I say that all the time because Dennis, you know who Dennis Allen is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he's not a head coach. No head coach that's worth his salt would apologize to another, to the rival's team for them scoring a touchdown on them. Nobody would do that. No team worth his salt would throw his people under the bus. I don't care what they did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All that stuff is supposed to be handled in house. That's why people don't respect them. And if you got a manager that's too dumb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To see that this guy's not a coach, he is not a real manager himself and he was living off Sean Payton's rep. All of them were. All of them do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why they underachieve here right now before your face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All those dudes was living off of Sean Payton's rep and what he was doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like I said before, people laugh at it, but these are sidekicks. This is what it looks like. Your team is ran by a group of sidekicks that's living off of past rep. They don't, they're not, they're not proactive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're not visionaries and Mickey Lomas has too much power in the New Orleans Saints organization. He does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gil need to do, Gil, you need to get up and do something about that. Mickey Loomis is the big, is the biggest problem the saints have. Cause a real general manager knows when he has a problem with the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Philadelphia, there's rumors out on the Philadelphia, getting ready to hit that their head coach is under fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They get fired and that team was just in the player, the super bowl. What, what last year? I mean, this, that team was, you know, just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the guy rumors is he's under fire right now. How is he under fire? And this dude we got in the building with the saints is not under fire right now. How does that, does that any make, that doesn't make any sense at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does in the NFL world where the saints live on the island because the team is too fat and comfortable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With sucking up your money and giving you mixed results. See Philadelphia people don't play that shit. Them Philadelphia people up there, they laying it down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They telling them to they face that you're going to do this, that they're they're serious about it. They had Dougie Peterson, he won the Super Bowl for him. A couple of years later, Dougie P was gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now they biting, they might be a little insatiable at times, but they keep the fire on you. That's how you supposed to be. There should be no point ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That a general manager or a guy supposed to be a general manager is supposed to stand up there before the team and thumb his nose at people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Giving him the facts about how dumb this coach is and he's still protecting them and keeping them. Absolutely not. Mickey Loomis needs to go from that general manager position. No guy in that organization is bigger than winning. Nobody's more important to, uh, to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bringing success or making the family members happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this guy has way too much power and he ain't even related to the family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has way too much power in that organization and he's way too fossilized in his thinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like when the moment he needs the, and it's just, it's a lot, but the biggest problem you have is making lumos for real. The biggest problem, the dude is a big problem. Way bigger than Dennis Allen, by the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, let's jump right into it. Honest evaluations for the coaching staff. Most of the changes we should expect for the Sinks will be on the offensive side of the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It should be. Why everything feels like it should be on the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they say he said his vote would be to keep Ronald Curry, the quarterback's passing game coordinator. Cody Burns, the wide receiver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, coach, and I do like Cody Burns. I think Cody Burns is a smart dude. Ronald Curry, however. I wouldn't be upset if these things kept Ronald Curry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the quarterback passing game coordinator, I just think that somebody going to end up taking him. I mean, they almost lost lost him last year and he came back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This year might not be the same thing. Clancy Barone with the tight ends have done really good as well. So I'm cool with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pete Carmichael would obviously be the biggest name the Saints could replace respectfully. The Saints have had the same offense for the past 17 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the parts and pieces have evolved and changed, but the basic concept


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was just inconsistent. Coaching and game planning can easily spell the difference between wins and losses. We saw too much of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this past season, Doug Marrone and Kevin Carberry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Had the offensive line ready to go and figure things out after some major struggles early in the season, but one of the most concerning things move forward is Trevor Penning. I don't have a glowing opinion of Doug Marrone like that. I really don't. I think we could do better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't like how the offensive line played. He had veterans and their offensive line played in many games this year, stupidly. They were in, they were undisciplined. They were disjointed. It will fall starting. They didn't play with the same intensity every snap. The running game suffered. So I don't have the same glory and, uh, look at the offensive line as the writer does. I damn sure don't. I think we could do better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he could even jumble work in garbage time with injuries that would.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Went to the practice, got offensive lineman that was troubling, but pinning is something that's been a problem. The Saints literally grabbed pinning and just pushed them all the way to the bottom of the active roster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you had guys like Cameron coming off the practice squad and playing. I'm like, damn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll see how they handle that. Uh, the Saints has, has to get him the right mentor or the coach. This is going to just be, you know, be a massive bus. I don't think Trevor Penning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's going to be a bust. I think you need to bust up the offensive line coach and find somebody else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somebody that can motivate these guys to play smart, but nasty because running.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The running game and playing with running game is an attitude you got to have. You got to have an attitude. You can't be all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, milk toast, you can't be all docile and you can't be like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've seen the Saints offensive line play there. Who has a nasty disposition on that line?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who plays with, none of them guys plays with them. That's why the line looked like that for most of the season. It wasn't mauling out anybody. You know, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta find somebody else. I think Doug Marrone has run his course here in New Orleans and I wouldn't be upset if they got rid of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, anything beyond the main components of the offensive line, offensive coordinator could be on the table, but we'll have to see how it shapes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Defensively feel pretty good, but I'll keep it everything in place. Michael Hodges could be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A coach to watch, he's done a tremendous job for years with groups as it won't be surprised to see one give him an extended look. Yeah, I've been hearing Michael Hodges have definitely getting a lot of credit, you know, for how he's been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doing the next thing, getting under the decap, restructures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We know that these things are coming just a part of how the states operate. We've already seen them reshaped or, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Restructure Lattie Daddy with Mark Tron Lattimore and James Winston's contract.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carl will have a prime candidate, he'll be a prime candidate for restructure, but the New Orleans Sync doesn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly have to touch his contract to get Camp compliant. If they do touch Carr's deal, it could free up roughly 23 million with just him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course a common practice to help the saints with even more cap relief could be to add void years to the deal, which is the kick the can thing. That's all he offers. That's all he offers to kick the can. You know, and the thing is the mentality which was said by Lomas was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were supposed to work it back toward the center, which is to stop kicking the can. They can't do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they created a bad habit where every damn year the sinks are 80 plus million dollars consistently over the cap and they have to constantly restructure contracts. And when they do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They add void years in some of the contracts, non-playable years that span out into and eat up the cap of future years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Problem is, but the saints doing this situation is starting to backfire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the Saints are not turning out young players that are being buried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beneficial, especially ones that we're drafting. We are not drafting as well as we were before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The drag, look at, look at what's going on now. Now, Brian Bressi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's stellar. He had a really good season on the defensive line. Jordan Howden stepped up. That's some of our draft guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Kendre Miller, he is a force, but he was terribly injured most of the year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] AT Perry turned into something very positive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you know, you span back several years, there is the Peyton Turner situation. How does he fare it out? This first round draft picks high picks that are not providing the value. Davenport bust is Peyton Turner headed in that direction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, so a lot of guys at the Saints at Trevor Penning right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's literally smooshed down way in the depths of the offensive line where practice squad veterans are getting chances over him. So that, that has to be changed and addressed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Philosophy wise and to say that about some guy's oldest Mickey Loomis, who's a dinosaur already, you asking him not to have more of a progressive look. He gonna keep doing what he doing, which is kick the can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, that, that's what he's gonna do. That's not going to change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's going to continue to kick the can. That's just how it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, here's a couple of players that the Saints could look at for relief. Cam Jordan, 9.4 million. Demario Davis, 8 million. Eric McCoy, 6.7.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A long wood car, they would roughly free up 76 mil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are others to look at. Tyron Matthew, Jawan Johnson could also generate an extra 9.5 mil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Saints will need to have space to spin, also have the room to sign rookies. We'll see what happens sooner than later. Make tough decisions. What do you mean? We already knew there's a few old guard players that might not be with the team next year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While those obviously come to the surface soon enough, the thought process, they are go exercise for my colleague.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With this option clause, Latimer was a big presence on the field, taking away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would give Isaac, get him a spot to start opposite of Paulson, a Deboil and Alante, Taylor stays in the slot. What was encouraging to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Saints final offensive performance against the Falcons is a success with Kamara, Ramchak, Thomas and Lattimore without them. So it's possible that it's certainly not a norm we could get used to or honestly we, you know, whatever. So listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I am not for, this is something that's being bantered about, whether it's something people are just using for, for uhm, just writing stuff, just to throw that out there. No, not click bait, but you know, approaching the trade ladder more thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is, that's not something that a smart team is supposed to be doing. Notice I said smart team. That's not something you would want to even look at. Number one, like I said, Lattimore is a guy that is a lockdown corner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am not comfortable enough and I've seen Isaac Yidam have a progression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Under coach Joe woods, he did, he looked better, but that doesn't make me feel good enough to trade ladder more to put Isaac, get them in there. Cause he's a cheaper option. Cause he played well in several games last year. That's not enough. That's not enough for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got a proven guy with a restructured contract. He's all hands off on that. Hands off on Lattimore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And let's just keep what we got. You can afford it. It's not like you can't afford to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keep what you got. There are other guys here that you can restructure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys that are might, he having issues playing next year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's other places you can go. Like I said, Marcus May, I'm cool with them getting rid of Marcus May because Jordan Howden showed you, and Marcus May can't stay on the field. Andrews Pete Time is up. Michael Thomas Times is up. Jameis Winston.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe Jameis, even though they restructured his deal, I think Jameis probably going to end up, I think Jameis Winston of the Saints probably going to head up for a split. It's just, it's just not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not a harmonious thing, you know, it's, it's almost like he gave him a cheap replay to come back here. I just don't feel like, I think Jameis Nim, you know, that might be headed toward a cut or something happened maybe post June. We'll see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I, I'm just feeling like that might not, that might have run it, run its course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, tighten up scouting evaluations. Prototypes of small schools fines are nice, but if you're going to turn this thing around, you're not going to rely on a ton of rookies to make an instant impact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, you know, a lone star for, he says, let alone star for you. Yes. New Orleans has two picks in the top 50.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 14th in the 45 selection. They hit gold with Breezy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A prime receipt, but the picks between the rounds two and four didn't exactly make a huge impact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all I see the team got more of their day three and undrafted rookies than they did on day two. And then you talk about the relative athletic score.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which the RES is always a metric that measures New Orleans used, you know, has used for the draft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's almost like a running joke that someone needs to have at least a 9.0 or higher to even get considered by the Saints. After the two top picks, the Saints won't operate again until Day 3 as of right now. The Saints want to inject a little bit more youth into that roster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we'll be banking on some of the younger players to make big jumps and simply isn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The year to draft a project or a player that has potential to be great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see the Saints picks round one, round two via the Broncos, no third, no fourth. They have a five and a six and a seven from the Broncos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can see some more compensatory picks added to this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he does mention that here, but those aren't projected to be higher than the fifth round that they can also obviously be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, obviously acquire more if they offload a player via trade or through any other means. Priority key free agents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Areas of Need, this thing to have a couple of glaring areas that you need to address in offseason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, he should start on the offensive line. I've been saying that to the end of the season. We talked about that, that the Sinks offensive line, left tackle, left guard problem, right tackle also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trevor Penning should, like I said, he shouldn't be anywhere on the left side in terms of being a left tackle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think right tackle would be better for him. I said that when they drafted him, I kept telling them that and look, just remember we kept telling them, don't do that. I was telling them that that he's not a left tackle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Play them at the right side. You don't put a rookie at the blind side. I kept telling them that. Look how bad this field on pennant. I kept saying that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is how I know that because that's common freaking sense. How did they not know that? It's common sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the blind side to protect the quarterback. That's two and in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then the rival defenses just sending the best pass rushes at the dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's just, it was a bad look. They didn't, they didn't put them in the position to win, man. You know, but anyway, let's take a look at it, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the thought process, you didn't have a good running game last season and you, you shouldn't rely on rookies to protect a veteran and Derek Carr said that years ago. You're not sure what the future holds for Ramcheck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this point, you can't count on Penning. Pete is a free agent right now and the only certain players you have returning are James Hurston. He needs to be putting the Hurston ship out of here. James Hurston is, is, is no. Don't need to be starting for you and he don't need to be a backup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] James, find you somebody else. Go back to Trey Turner, do something different. Find you somebody else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cesar Ruiz and McCoy under contract. Landon Young could also be a player to use in a mix. He showed some.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In short, you need a veteran offensive tackle or two. I love the thought process last off season, bringing in someone like Trey Turner, which was good. He got hurt early on, but you know, if he's healthy, bring him back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He says, why I swing the most when free agent opens, I wouldn't rule out bringing back cam urban. I wasn't impressed with that, but it could be a cheap thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You look at some of the targets, they see Trent Brown and Jonah Williams on there, Michael Ono and a few others. I don't know if the Saints make a splash at a veteran left tackle. I've advocated for that, you know, but then again,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll see where they're mined at, but avoid the splash, stay in the bargain bin. Aside from Derrick Carter, Sinks needed some pieces that fit the team well and didn't pay a ton. Getting two defensive tackles in Kaelin Saunders and Nate Sheppard, well under the market value was smart. Bringing backs in like Hugo Amati.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Lonnie Johnson Jr. Helps special teams as well as having another option in the slide as safety Jamal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Williams didn't have the season anyone expect, but again, the offensive line wasn't good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we'll give them the team respectability plan time with starting upside. One area should, they should look at is getting the veteran receiver that would back up, you know, backfield a potential loss in Michael Thomas, which is, that wouldn't be a bad bet to look for a veteran guy to, um, the coming for Mike Thomas guy. I think Mike is going, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A veteran option wouldn't be a bad bet in terms of a wide receiver for the Saints, depending on how much money they're going to spend on the process. But really, resources need to be placed to the Saints, um, offensive line. That's a major problem. They need to figure that out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three spots there, left tackle, left guard, uhm, in the right tackle position need to be, that, that is very important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just because how the Sinks looked, especially in the last game of the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember how they won that game. The saints beat the Falcons that way because they were running the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were running the ball and Derek Carr was not the, the reason in terms of, you know, he wasn't the number one option in terms of between the passing and the running attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The saints had more attempts running the ball than they did him passing the ball. And he looked more comfortable in that role.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is what it was supposed to be. The running game was supposed to lead the saints.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Offensively the running game and then the passing game off the back of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They couldn't get the running game going consistently for whatever reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They definitely have to beef up the offensive line. That's no prob, that is, that is key measurement number one. All right. So anyway, let's take a look at the sink or swim boomer bus situation. Every, everything above isn't exactly how it will look at the end of the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, the truth is no one really knows what will happen to saints at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Always a team that pulls a shocking eye on one another. The reality that is the importance of working. It is what matters. If the Saints can't get to it, to get it together for next season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Things might just look very different for the Saints. Dennis Allen is down to his final stake and his playoffs are nothing. This is the team's last chance to make something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of itself with their current core, not getting into postseason could prompt a.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Total rebuild, the saints brain trust. And I use that title very, very loosely for them. Can't get away with mediocrity again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The results need to speak for itself in 2024 and the work starts now to build up and went back to fan, the family members and the dollars. This is a thing here in the NFL. The saints are too comfortable. They way too comfortable. I may mention the teams like Philadelphia and all these other family bases.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A floor has been set and a culture has been set in the city of New Orleans. The saints are violating that the way they are behaving. Dennis Allen doesn't deserve to have that job. He doesn't deserve it. He's had two years and nine playoff, uh, football. Last year he was, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were looking at Fireman, they gave him another chance and Mickey Loomis is running and hiding and insulting people for him to keep the job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like Mickey Loomis having that much power in the saints building. I really don't. That's the issue with Gail letting these people operate and Gail really not tripping on them because she getting paper. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I was saying that some of the family members about if you want some change to happen, you got to show your disgust when they start looking at them empty seats in that dome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's when you start seeing a lot of stuff happen. Dennis Allen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reason why the saints screwed up this year is because of mismanagement. And you can cut that between Dennis Allen and Mickey Loomis because Mickey Loomis didn't do a damn thing. He didn't go in there and tell Dennis Allen or prompt him or tell him to do this. He left them alone. And when people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're putting pressure on him. That's why he was agitated. He doesn't like for you to put pressure on him to do his job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he says lame shit all the time in these dumb interviews with these softball reporters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he sits a parent and berates people, tell them they're not qualified to judge NFL coaches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tells the reporters they're lazy and unsophisticated. Says all this elitist garbage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It sits up on his ass and people say, you need to do something. He says, he's not that I want to listen. I am just, I'm just too emotional during the year. So I wait after the year before I do anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just can't do it. You know, I ain't got the win. You win, I'm happy. I lose, I'm sad. It's just too much emotion. So I don't do my job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is just ridiculous. You know, I often say that's something, that's one of the stupidest immature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Immature non-professional things that I've heard a general manager ever say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which started prompting me to say, this guy can't be a general manager. He is a poser. He is a pretender.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And most, the majority of his success came by way because he was fortunate enough to be in any type of affiliation with Sean Payton. They all did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They all became fantastically wealthy because of Sean Payton. They all did. Mickey Loomis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had just 200 wins and all this kind of nonsense, but check his record under Dennis Allen. Without Sean Payton, he's laughable. With Sean Payton, they're always winning because Sean Payton telling them what to do. Look what happened when nobody's telling them what to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look what, look what happens when nobody telling either one of them what to do. Look how the product on the field looks. So instead of going to check his team, he turns in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Makes dumb lion ass stats and be rating comments to the supporters, which won't win you any group. And I said, I'll expose Mickey Lumas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've exposed them to for the entire who that nation people message me on secure. I didn't, I didn't see that before, man. I was like, yeah, bro. He had everybody fooled. It was like, well, hi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roseman from Philly fleece and Mickey Loomis for picks cause he's not a real general manager. No, that's not hard to believe. I'm telling you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm saying, listen, the proof is in the pudding. Forget the emotional attachment that you have. You got to look at the raw numbers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The standings and the fact how the team looks without showing Peyton there. Look how it looks. It's total different. It's a joke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This team is mismanaged. That's the problem. It's not a talent issue. They didn't have a talent issue in the seven and nine, seven and 10 year. It wasn't a talent issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were mismanaged. They had a starting quarterback. They refused to play toward the back end at the end of the year because he called the weasel out for lying to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And people doubted it, but this is a guy, it happens every year when the guy does something really sneaky and underhanded the year before it was him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lying to Jamus and backstabbing him. So Jamus went to the press. So what he did, did he make it right with Jamus in a year? Nope. He kept Andy Dalton played the entire year, even when Jamus was healthy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's mismanagement and pettiness that you would put your own stinking weasely feelings over the top of the team's success.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you had the better quarterback to play, he mismanaged it that year and ran the team in the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, what's Mickey Loomis then? A real general manager would've kiboshed all of that shit and told him, no, you gonna play this guy cause I'm paying this guy. Make it work. Make it so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To my, like my old star, my star, uh, track buddies out there and like old Captain Bacard will tell them, make it so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that's what you're supposed to do. Make it so. Make it happen. I don't care about this. I want to win. Your petty feelings don't mean nothing. Go out there and make it so. Make it work. But what'd he do? He wasn't nowhere to be found.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were nowhere in the James Winston situation and this year what happened with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dennis Allen backstabbing his whole team in front of the entire world. They did that on their own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you see the general manager listen to it and he still backs the guy. That means he's a dummy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No real general manager would have backed that guy. And then you got Bill Belichick free out here and Pete Carroll free out here. And you stick into this trash over here, this scum, this backstabby line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Throwing his team under the bus ass coach right here and you got Belichick and Harbaugh and all these other coaches, real coaches all out here and you holding on to this trash, just Janitor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got a janitor running the team and you got fantastic coaches with championship pedigree, three of them out there, three of them out there right now. And you holding on to this trash. That's why I said that guy's not a real general manager, bro. There are all kinds of people out there. That's right. Call it variable too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got guys out here that are real coaches, that are real football coaches, not janitors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't win with that, man. Nobody's gonna play for a scumbag like that, man. They're not gonna do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So these, so these are two, this is an arrogant, elitist, hold his nose up in the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, time wasting troll. That's what Mickey Loomis is to me. He's a time wasting troll.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who is running his team on arrogance and not on logic. That's the problem we got here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're hated at Rand- Atlanta Falcons, the same people, you dumbass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weasel face, possum looking ass coach apologized to quite recently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They fired their coach and they're now in league. They've been having conversation with Bill Belichick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, the same Bill Belichick with multiple Super Bowl rings. And this is bringing me to the point where I'm thinking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dream that I had, the vision, could somebody please remind me of the vision that I had at the end of the season? Could somebody remind me of it? Cause I keep forgetting it because it was a horrible nightmare to me and I didn't want to realize what I was in visualizing. Could somebody please tell me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell me what that was that I was, I told the family, I say, family, I just had this terrible nightmare or whatever. Cause somebody remind me of what, what I said. Kevin, that was one of them. Falcons get Jade and Daniels. What was the other one? It was, it was a couple of them. Anyway, the Atlanta Falcons interview Bill Belichick for the coaching job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Falcons announced Monday that they have interviewed New England coach Bill Belichick for the head coach vacancy. The first known interview done by Belichick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since he and the Patriots mutually parted ways last ye- last week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's 71, been coaching for 29 years, 24 in New England, five in Cleveland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He got a combined record of 302 wins versus 165 losses. He has six Super Bowl titles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of those Super Bowl victories came against the Falcons and blah, blah, blah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My whole thing is it was the moment that he said that mentioning wide ranging news conference with Falcon's owner count blank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's not very often you would get a bill of Belichick, but when you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you, it's just amazing to me how dumb these people are for real. But anyway, Belichick is the sixth candidate the club has announced as interviewing for the job along with Baltimore assistant head coach, Anthony Weaver, Baltimore defensive coordinator, Mike McDonald.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] San Francisco defensive coordinator, Steve Wilkes and Carolina defensive coordinator and Cincinnati offensive coordinator, Brian Callahan. So they talked to Bill Belichick for the job. You know, nothing is written quite yet, but could you imagine? Could you imagine? Very interesting. Yeah. Very interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, let's keep it moving fam. Let's go to the next article right here. Top 10 salary hits facing the 2024 Saints.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and we plenty of financial commitments here to talk about, and this is some of those as the numbers will pull from over the cap, uh, 10 salary cap hits for the Saints coming into the year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 5.7 million in prorated bonus. The 30 million is guaranteed for Derek Gar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has to be restructured. Ram's current situation is dire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's an anticipation of thought process on the street that Ram's playing career could be over with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most certainly this upcoming year, they're not anticipating him playing and that knee is that bad. As you can see, when he was playing, playing on that knee, they're giving him rest. He, uh, kind of decided not to get the surgery from last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he just got painkillers, pain shots in the knee and it really worsened to the point where the pain shots didn't work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now he's, his career could be, you know, in, in jeopardy. So we all do, we give a shout out to Ramda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will full recovery, but bro, at 29 years old, man, you made a lot of money. You got a big contract, bro. If you can't play again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Cam, $6.3 million base, got $10.28 million in prorated bonus plus $6.7 million in roster bonus. $13 million of that, 23 plus, is guaranteed. These are restructured candidates, no doubt about it. Carr, I don't see why they wouldn't restructure Carr, but these are kind of some of the numbers. Elvin Kamara's numbers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, just under 19 million for him is based at 10.2 plus the pro rated bonus or just over 17 million plus the $1 million roster bonus 500 K.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Per game bonus plus a hundred thousand in the workout bonus. Definitely a restructured con, uh, candidate. The Mario's contract.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over $18 million with a $10 million base salary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's definitely another one in the, of course, the rest of them taste some hill who's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 33 years old, it just, it just 15.79 million for him, 10 million base.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paterson-Lattimore's contract is going to be restructured 14, well it's already been restructured 14.62.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 1.21 million base, 13.4 in the pro-rated. Eric McCoy is just under 14 million with a 9.6 million dollar base. Andrus Pete, who is basically a free agent with over 13 million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, there are three other players who will come up at cap hit above 10 million in addition to the top hits is Michael Thomas over 12, Tyron over 12, and Cesar Ruiz just under 11.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Saints have already tackled a couple of restructures and we're certainly going to see more of them play out as we get close to the league new year, which starts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] March the 13th, so a lot of time in between before this stuff happens, we're still currently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, dealing with the playoffs right now and you know, the stuff don't really get, get the snapping and popping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until most of the time when the playoffs are out and done. Alright, so anyway, let's go to the next one here fam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is one right here that was posted by the family members for this upcoming season, the same strength of schedule based on the 2023 regular season records. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Based on the strength of schedule for 2024, the Browns are on top, ranked number one with 158 versus 131 in losses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the record combined record and guess who all the way at the bottom again for 2024 is the Falcons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, the saints are tied up and tied for the 31st with the easiest or the softest potential record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The record situation, everything was agreeable. Everything was agreeable for the Saints. Everything. The team had talent. The team had a picket. And like I said, you go back and you really recap what happened. You go at the start of the season last year when the Saints brought in all of these coaches, Joe Woods, Marcus Robinson, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a lot of these guys were fantastic. Todd Grantham, it took him a while, but he got the line going. Uh, some areas regressed. I did like the addition of Clancy Barone to the tight end room. I think he, uh, is going to be, I thought he was a plus. Uh, I do, uh, you know, like some of that that was going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then again, I don't think early on talent was an issue with the Saints, the Saints had talent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think a lot of what happened with the Saints was from a head coach standpoint, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having the intangibles, like the discipline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lacking a great detail. We lack accountability. You got a coach that don't, that backstabs his players. You know that, that's a problem, bro. You know, look, look at, for instance, look what happened with, with the kid, the coach down there in the Houston, Texas. Look what he's done with them. Look what he's done. The Houston Texans coach, D'Amico Ryan's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has taken a bum ass Houston team that were losing for years and he's made them respectable. They've done that with rookies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have a rookie quarterback that is doing that. They got young players everywhere. Offense and defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They took that team, turned them around, got in the playoffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even got a win in the playoffs. I mean, it's just, it was, it's utterly amazing what good coaches could do for you when you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was supposed to happen? They blasted the Browns in the plug. That young, that's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] D'Amico Ryan's turned him around and made him respectable. That's what a good coach do for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the team buy-in, the media buy-in because they can tell the difference between a winner and a guy that's not a winner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can never see a guy like D'Amico, Ryan's or Mike Tomlin and any of these guys that are respectable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And understand what a locker room mean and trust means in a locker room, throwing their players under the bus, lying to them and backstabbing them. And he got a reputation for that. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a, it's really amazing to see how it all just unfolded. The new coaches and all that, and then the Saints finished with nine and eight. People will say, well Q, they were seven and ten before, but that's not the problem fam. The problem is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were, well, the issue is they were supposed to get to the playoffs. I finished with a winning record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The idea is playoffs because you got the oldest team in the league. You have a two to three year window when you're supposed to be putting it together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the saints have basically squandered the two of the three year window. They've squandered it. They've mismanaged it. And I have zero faith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They saying it's easy right here, but listen with the teams that they are showing that you're going to be playing, it's not going to be that. The Saints this year had a schedule where the Colgames were early in the year, which, and they were in


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, when it was starting to get cold was teams that were warm weather teams. You go down to Tampa Bay or teams that have a dome situation where you didn't have to deal with the elements.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had a Tampa Bay Buccaneer team led by Baker Mayfield. Everybody else teams were had, they had young quarterbacks. They were struggling. You, you had the advantage because you was a team what it's supposed to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a veteran quarterback on top of it that you spend 150 million dollars on. You got Jamal Williams here, all this kind of old stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in the end, the Saints finished nine and eight, Tampa Bay won a playoff game tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're moving on to the second round and the Saints sitting up here watching them on television.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While with Dennis Allen at the end of the press conference tells you that he's pissed and what he did wasn't good enough, even though we were saying it during the season for him to change. And they were sitting up there talking about what you're saying is negative noise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were saying, what we were saying was negative noise. People was voicing their displeasure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About what was going on in the field. And then at the end of the year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think I'm going to let them forget that we were saying during the year the whole damn time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That this is not supposed to what it needs to be. You need to change it. You need to change that. The guy lied and said, well, we're going to change it and ask him, did you change anything? No, we didn't change anything. So why are you, why are you pissed?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's just crazy, man. That's what I'm saying. The guy is incapable of understanding what happened. You think these people really seriously gonna sit down and look at the season and say what they did wrong?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're going to focus on the draft. They're going to focus on adding players to the team, but talent is not the problem. The talent is not the problem for the Saints.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't the problem last year. It wasn't the problem the year before that.
