The OTP | Super Bowl Week

super Bowl week. It is super Bowl week, so things are a little stormy here. For a different reason. I'm always cranky during super Bowl week, so I apologize in advance. Yeah, when I'm not there, it just makes me a little salty. So well, think about this though. Super Bowl next year in Vegas. Oh, that's fun? Would that be? I think that would be good. That would be real good. Super Bowl the following year, super Bowl fifty nine, February nine,

twenty twenty five, Caesar's Superdome in New Orleans. That would be fun. It would be fun. Yeah, yeah, Okay, those are good places. Seem like that helps, So maybe maybe it's on the horizon for us. Yeah, location specific, location specific. Yeah, of course I would go to Iceland if the Titans were in a Super Bowl, and I would be thrilled to be there. Yeah. Listen, if it was on another planet and we needed one of Elon Musk's rockets, I would want. I would go. I would volunteer. I'm with you,

I agree, I'd do it. All right. So as we start the news of the week and we begin to look at things, first of all, congratulations Rhett Bryan from the Reese's Senior Bowl. That guy hit the talk of the week, Taj Spears running back to lane. He started in on him early in the week, and then the rest of the national media copied. Rhet Bryan's exactly what happened. But you were on him early, you were on him often, and by the time the week was up, he was

the talk of the week. So congratulations Wretch. You got it. Nice young man and gonna make somebody a really nice running back at the next level. His game if we're talking camp right now, because he's a bigger player than one I'm about to mention, but he reminds me of kind of Elijah Mitchell and what he's been doing for the San Francisco forty nine ers. But you know Taj Spears five nine, two oh five, and he's got an

explosive first couple of steps. The only question about Spears, however, is he's had some knee stuff and gonna have to answer that at the Combine, which is actually three weeks away. We will be at the Combine February twenty eight through March sixth, that's when it concludes. Probably won't be there and through March sixth, but we'll be there for the week and so the medicals and all of the things done back in amy Well's favorite city of Indianapolis as

the Combine continues. It is my favorite city for the NFL Scouting collection. Just be honest, that's what it is. You want to move there. I've already lived there before. I don't want to go back. Mayor of I mean, she loves Indianapolis. Let me say this, for convenience and those things, I would vote that it stay there in perpetuity, right, Brian, Ladies and gentlemen, will we get the new stadium built here and we're able to host it here, Let's do that.

I'm telling you, Okay, I'm telling you it's gonna be with the new stadium, that's going to be something else that will be able to be hosted here because guess what we have in Nashville. A lot of good healthcare. Yeah, that's with a sention Saint Thomas and the relationship that that we have, and I mean they're fabulous doctors and nurses and technicians and and monofilament, field turf and all of that. We will be able to host the Combine

someday here because of that facility. Just one more reason. We're excited to get the new stadium in twenty twenty six or twenty twenty seven, and that will be wildly convenient, yes for us, Yes, which is what I ultimately care about. Convenient. Have to get your sleep, I like to get traffic. I don't like traffic. You'd like to have places to eat? Yeah, all things that Nashville provides three weeks away from the Combine, and you will learn names. Over the next few weeks.

You will learn all sorts of things that lead up to the draft. Kind of let me take you through the timetable really quickly. Of course, the Super Bowl is in Glendale, Arizona this Sunday. The waiver system begins for twenty twenty three on Monday. Wow. So it's like the old Steve McNair post Super Bowl commercial that was on where he was sitting in the Shay's lounge out by the pool with his fancy bathrobe on and they were singing tomorrow, tomorrow, the sun will come out tomorrow. Because

it was a great ad. Because as of next Monday, we're all O and O. Thirty two teams are O and O. As the year starts, love It Tuesday February twenty first two weeks, teams can designate franchise or transition players. That is going to be interesting to watch, particularly in Baltimore. We think with Lamar Jackson we shall see. The combine opens Tuesday, February twenty eighth. Already mentioned that, and it runs a week and then March the thirteenth, five weeks away,

less than five weeks away. What do they call it? Here? The free agency negotiation period begins, otherwise known as legal tampering. I love legal tampering, and I just call it what it is, yeah, because it sounds so wrong, it sounds shady, and I love it. But that's the whole thing is NFL teams get to be shady for forty eight hours before the league year begins on Wednesday, March the fifteenth. I think it's great. I love that the league built

it right into the calendar. But it's so great because you've got this feeling that people are sitting in somebody's driveway ready to walk up and knock on the That doesn't happen anymore. Used to used to happen, yeah, but now with technology you don't have to. But a coach would be waiting outside because he wanted that player to know we want you this badly. We're sitting outside your

house at eleven fifty nine. I think it's great. I like that they were like, well, we know you guys are going to do this anyway, so we may as well make it legal for forty eight hours, do whatever you need to do, and then let's rock and roll. Okay. So then three o'clock Central time, Wednesday, March the fifteenth, what happens. The league year starts, and that means you can sign free agents. So you will probably have agreed to some deals beforehand, but you can sign free agents.

You can do all the things with the testing in terms of the medical you can bring them in. Those things certainly can happen, and at three o'clock that day, the top fifty one rule is in effect. That means all clubs must be under the twenty twenty three salary cap of two hundred twenty four point eight million dollars prior to three o'clock based on their top fifty one salaries. And then with the fifty three part gets when you get into the regular season correct it gets to the

first week of the seasons, I think roughly midweek. It's either Tuesday or Wednesday of week one. First week of the season is going to be Sunday, September ten, so obviously there will be a Thursday night game on the seventh. There's Monday Night football on the eleventh, but for that's the week you have to be fifty three salaries, practice, squad, injured, reserve,

anything else. But starting five weeks from now three o'clock on March the fifteenth, teams must be under the salary cap by three o'clock Central Time based on their top fifty one salaries. Two weeks after that, the league spring meetings at the Builtmore Arizona and that's where we'll find out about rules changes, we'll find out about other things that the league is going to bring about. For twenty twenty three, there are four major league meetings there quarterly.

This one is clearly the biggest win in terms of news. This one's the biggest one in terms of news, mainly because of those rules committee meetings and all of the rules changes that come out of it. This is really it's a three day event. There's a lot of things that happen. Everybody makes it a point to be at these meetings. It's not just owners. There's head coaches, there's

general managers, there's front office staff there. So those are kind of the big meetings of the year, and there's always some interesting stuff that comes out of there, and they're always a very beautiful place. They're beautiful locales built more Arizona this year. Very nice place, which isn't any built more is you know outstand Yeah, it's okay that one has birds in the lobby. Well, the Vanderbilt's liked birds in the lobby well, and that's I mean, good

for them. More in Asheville is very beautiful as well. If you've never been there, you should go highly suggested, highly suggested travel tips. All right, so this is what we got going on, and it's about to get rolling. You're gonna hear about coaches that are added to the Titans roster. The Titans still without an offensive coordinator, still without an offensive line coach, still without a secondary coach. They haven't announced anything. There are certainly reports that are

out there right now. The reports that are out there is the Titans have agreed to terms with Washington's Chris Harris, but he's interviewing for defensive coordinator jobs so recently the Houston Texas, so he may never get here. Who knows and who knows if any of this is even accurate. Reports that the Titans have agreed to terms with Lorid Locus, who spent time in Tampa on their defensive staff, believe she was an assistant with the defensive line. Correct, that's correct.

Coach Max says she can coach. Coach Max says she's a ball coach. He knows her, Ye knows her. Well, says she's a ball coach. That's all I need to know. Yep, I'm here for it. I'm excited. So wherever she's coaching on defense. Fined by me. Yep, yep, that's what I say. Coach mc and had a conversation about this. I met her at the Senior Bowl last week when she came

rushing over to coachman. Coach Dame McGinnis. Yes, she had been with that the Football Alliance, the Birmingham Iron, I think, and that Bruce Arians had inquired about her and brought her to Tampa and so. But yeah, so it sounds like she interviewed with coach Vrabel and sounds like things are going well. And uh yeah, he gave her the seal of approval. Coach mac did, so we know that. Yep.

Coach mack by the way needs a shout out the player that he talked about at the Senior Bowl, the most Osyrius Torrence, who played at Louisiana and then transferred with his coach to Florida. According to Dane Brugler, whose opinion I respect, draft analyst Dane Brugler of the Athletic, I'm a big fan. If you have to admit, I've been a big fan for a long time. You have even before he was Dane Brugler of the Athletic, when he was just Dame Brugler. Well, and then finding out

he was trained by our legendary scout Seal Bracado. Makes a lot of sense. He says, Osyrius Torrence guard Florida, was the best player at the Senior Bowl regardless of position. Wow, regardless of position. And he's coach Max guy. Coach Max's been on him all along. Thinks he's a guard that you're going to draft and he will play right away. Whispers that I hear lately is that he helped himself well enough last week in Mobile that he is the bottom third of the first round of the NFL draft well.

And the good news for the Titans, who have the forty second pick is because he's a guard, he probably won't go as high as what his projection is. Whereas a quarterback normally goes higher, right, a guard normally falls, and the cornerbacks and the edge rushers and the quarterback and those things push those things down exactly right. We

have seen that in mini drafts. So it's possible that Osiris Torrence, Florida Gator could end up there at forty two if the Titans want to select him, or he could go more highly if somebody is absolutely in love with him. As a player or if they have a need, or if they just say, this is what our board says, and we're gonna stick with our board, and that does happen. And the other thing that happens is positionally sometimes there's a run on the first round or higher graded talent

of a particular position. It's true. Well, last year cold Strange went to New England at the end of the first round at twenty four I think much more high in terms of the pick than what anybody anticipated, because they clearly had him at the top of their board from what was less left, and they just stuck with their pick. They just said, this is what we're gonna do. And he played very well for the Patriots by all rights. This year, some people can't be that true because of

their need. Oh at another position and they say, well, we'd like to take this player here, this is where we have him ranked. But we gotta get a receiver, we gotta get a corner, and as Ritt says, we fear a run. So we shall see. But kudos to coach Dave McGinnis. Can I give a shout out to go right ahead, Amy Wells. I would like to give a shout out to Mike Keith, Oh boy, here we go, who has also been making news in the last say, thirty six hours news if I made well, Mike Keith,

thank you for asking. Turns out Peyton Manning is a huge fan of yours. According to Jim Wyatt, hang on, just rhet, do we have the audio? Can we roll that? Please? Here we go? Absolutely, And I wouldn't call like what I'm doing broadcasting, you know, Eli and I we're the I'm not sure what we're doing. But Mike's the best. I stay in touch with Mike, you know, text them obviously earned Tennessee Valls victories, and he texted me kind

of a clip of Ram Carthon. They were watching some film of when Ram was playing when I was playing. So Mike's the best. I've been doing it a long time, true pro and obviously a great volunteer as well. Okay, so there you have it. Apparently he's a big friend of a friend of yours. You guys, nice back and forth. That was nice of him to say, it's possible it's

the first nice thing he's ever said about me public. Well, it's nice that you say that, because I actually had a conversation with Peyton Manning about you in like twenty nineteen. Don't ask these questions. But we had a conversation and he actually said the exact opposite. So Ratt, can you play that too? This banquet is over. That's what ibvious celebrating more, not just being ducted into the Hall of

Famers of life about emailing me and texted me. He texted me and email is the same famil In case I don't get the text, I have an email as a back. So it's a lot. So now Peyton Manning speaking out of both sides of his mouth, Hang on just a second. That's more like it. That is my relationship with Peyton Manning over the years. He when he was a player at Tennessee. I know this is hard for people to believe, but I had a talk show in Knoxville. I think a lot of people would believe that.

So I had a talk show and Brent Hubbs, who works for ON three and runs the Vault Quest website and is you know, absolutely the authority on vall sports. He was just starting out and he worked with me at that point, and he comes in and he says, during a break, he says, you're gonna want to take a line. Whatever, it's Peyton Manning when we come back from break, you're gonna want to take this call, I said.

Peyton Manning is not He's Tennessee's quarterback. I can't have current athletes on my show by rule really well by rule of the University of Tennessee. So if I violate this, then I'm going to be in trouble with the Sports Information Department. So I'm sitting here going, okay, A, is it really Peyton Manning? Because a lot of times when you host a talk show for the OT people, I pull back the curtain when you get in those situations and you're discussing it off air, A very good chance

it's not Peyton Manning. B very good chance it's somebody who's going to get on there and then just say something obscene, right because they're trying to embarrass you. They want to tape it. Hey, let's welcome Peyton Manning to the show. And then whomever comes into its curses yes, and it becomes something that just ends up being obscene. Those are the moments that you have you hope you have a dump button. I mean, just all kinds of

bad things could happen. So I'm weighing this. Am I going to get in trouble with the Sports information depart They're already crazed when it comes to Peyton Manning right well, because he had just done the thing where he said I'm coming back for my senior year. So now he's a bigger hero than Davy Crockett. He's on all of the different shows and whatever around the Country's on Good Morning America. I mean, the whole thing is crazy. So Hubber says, I think it really is him. I said,

do we do this? He goes, well, he said, you know, we got a chance to have Peyton Manning on the show. He says, whatever trouble we're gonna get in will be worth it. Yeah, because that's the way Hubbs is. He's this guy forgiveness not permitted. Well, who did he learn it from? You? Yeah? So I'm like, you're right, We've got to take the chance. So we come back. Welcome back to sports talk here on Newstalk ninety nine. Let's go to the phones. Peyton online. I don't remember line three,

it's Peyton Manning. Is hey just driving along? What's going on? Well? First, first part of the stories, it's nineteen ninety seven, and he's got a car phone. Yeah, and it was at that time a car phone. It wasn't a mobile device. It was just attached to the car. But his dad's Archie Manning, and you know the whole thing. Yeah, so no surprise. So I'm like, hey, Peyton, how are you doing? So I ask him something that only Peyton would know, and sure enough, he goes, I'm just calling to quiz you.

And I'm like, oh, this is not gonna be good for me. He goes. They had the pro scouts in today. Everybody, even the guys who aren't eligible for the draft, ran forty times. Who do you think was the fastest? Well, Tennessee has a who's who of receivers at that point. I mean, it's a track team. It's Marcus Nash, it's Peerless Price. I mean, it's Greg Kyler. I mean, they've got all these guys that can run run um and so of course every one of my guesses is wrong.

It's actually a guy named Andy McCullough who went to high school with Peerless Price, who was this unbelievable athlete. Never became a great receiver. He was more great athlete, but he ran like four three something. So Peyton did exactly what he wanted. He made me look bad on my own show, yeah, which is and that was the first of a series that's us you just heard. That

was the whole thing. So I don't really have a relationship with him for like fourteen fifteen years because he plays for the Colts where the Titans all we want to do is beat him. I mean, that was the whole thing. All these my relatives from East Tennessee would say, isn't that great? Peyton did so good? You know, I mean, no, no, it's how can you not pull for Peyton? I'm like, got very easily. Yeah, somebody else in his division signs

my paycheck. It's my job. Yes, yeah. So I think I saw him probably one time, and we always had a solid relationship. When he was a player at Tennessee. He'd liked to give me a hard time just constantly because he thought and probably accurately so that I was being a know it all all the time, because that was kind of the I mean, we did a talk show, so what was I going to do? Talk and you have to offer opinions, and when the opinions are wrong, certain people always yeah, I want to give you the

business occupational hazard. So I get a call in twenty sixteen and they said, Peyton Manning's friend of mine at the University of Tennessee says, Peyton Manning is giving multimillion dollars to the University of Tennessee. It's like, WHOA, that's nice. Say he's doing a reception and it's a very exclusive delio with like fifty of the biggest people and there were several billionaires in the room, by the way, I mean,

it was a thing. And they say, Bob Kessling, who the voice of the Valls, has to do a baseball game, would you be willing to come host with Peyton. I was like, yes, he's retired at this point, there's no problem anymore. I was like, yes, I will be there. So literally, I drove over there on a Friday, and I drove back that night. I was in Knoxville for two hours because we were busy doing something during the day, and I just said, yeah, I'm gonna do it. So I had worked with him on what he wanted to

talk about. Because this will stun you, he prepares forever. Yeah, that seems about right. I would have guessed. And so since that time, I've gotten to do four events with him, four or five events with him. He prepares the same every time. What would you guess? Is the one story he has to tell that everybody wants to hear at every event. I don't know, college or NFL. While he was in the NFL, Oh, I don't know, he tells the story he has to tell the story about when

he hosted Saturday Night Live. Oh yeah, yeah yeah, And the skit is the one where he's playing football with the little kids. It's really good neighborhood yep. If you haven't ever watched it, I mean, I'm sure it's on YouTube orwere Yeah, it's everywhere, and it's like a fake United Way commercial or something. Yep. It is so good because when Eli hosted, he did something similar that was pretty funny. But the only thing I've ever seen, so

it's totally against his persona. You know, that's I don't want to give the bit away, and I'm certainly not going to tell his part of the story because if you ever have the chance to hear him speak, hearing him tell the story of how they shot it is magnificent. But the only thing I've ever seen where somebody goes so against their type. One eighty was Wayne Brady on Dave Chappelle and if you've ever seen that skit, that's one of the most ridiculously funny things ever. It is

so wrong. Well this is so wrong too, and he loved doing it, and he tells I mean, he tells just great stories. I got to host something with his dad one time as well. I don't email and text him. I don't. That's not true. That's not what he says. Clip and the second clip of the first clip, the first one he says, I did send him. So Coach Mack did the Microsoft Surface Beneath the Surface feature with Ran Carthon where Rand was playing for Indianapolis against US,

and Ran really enjoyed it. He really enjoyed seeing the clips of him play and it was fun to watch Peyton as his quarterback and he referenced Peyton, and so I did. I forwarded that to Peyton and he did watch it, and he did enjoy it. If it anybody's texting, I don't text him for it's him texting you occasionally. Well, when I've got to do something or his son, Marshall is a huge Derrick Henry fan. So Marshall's all in anything Derrick Henry. I have seen pictures of Marshall into

Derrick Henry jersey, which we like. Yes, that's very cool, that's very cool. But I mean it was nice of him to say something nice about me, and I'm appreciative. So Marshall make a couple of tosses at the Pro Bowl. There's something there. Huh. Do you see Marshall throw that ball as I did? So I watched that back. Yeah, I was like, I'm gonna run that back. I watched it three times. Marshall has a better throwing motion, maybe even than his dad. He I mean to be what

is he eleven? He has eleven? It's pretty awesome. So the future is bright for the Manning family. So the future is bright. A couple of questions before we finish up this OTP, which is really just have been all over the block, hasn't it? Yeah? But I kind of liked these all over the road Uncle Mike's storytime. Yeah. Well, I like being able to pull back the curtain of what our conversations are actually like, which is chaotic. But let me just say, let me go back to the

Manning thing. I don't text him every day, and he doesn't text me every day. When when I saw the look on his face when Jim White asked him the question, I thought, Okay, now I'm going to get hit again. I thought I'm gonna get hit hard. He's gonna make But it is true. I did send him the Ran Carthon thing, which is probably the first thing I've texted him in a long time, like a week. No, that's not true. I don't do that. I do not do that. Don't say that because I'm just asking. Yeah, a long

time is different for everybody. Yeah, but when you're missing your friend, well, but Ran Carthon is this guy. Yeah, No, it's very nice. That was a very heads up play by you. I thought that was nice, awesome, It really was good. It was so good and to see Ran and how thrilled he was to see himself in action. Did Ashley Farrell edit that? I'm not sure who edited it, one of the three, but it was phenomenal, really well done well Ashley Farrell, Jack Mummert, Jeanette Morley, whomever did

it that works on our team. Just really well done. Yep, agreed. You can go to Tennessee Titans dot com and find that you could go to Tennessee Titans dot com and find interviews that we did from the Senior Bowl. We are posting them every day this week to a day, some really good ones and giving you a chance to meet these guys a little bit, get to know their names, a lot of them very very impressive. Earlier this week we posted Eric Gray, the running back from Oklahoma. We

posted Darnell Right, offensive lineman Tennessee. We posted Byron Young outside linebacker Tennessee. We posted McClendon Curtis, offensive lineman from Chattanooga who actually is from Chattanooga, which is kind of cool. So Tesse Titans dot com and Amy Wells if you follow her on Twitter at Titans Amy at Titans Amy Amie. She had all the shots of Coach Mac being the mayor of Mobile last week, including a doozy of Mac

and Rhet in their matching sweatshirts. That might be my Christmas card this year, might be Titans Radio's Christmas card this year. It's just so quality the thing you missed and I think you did a brilliant job, but I do have to critique. There had to be some step Brothers reference right there, you know hindsight. Yes, I didn't even think about it. No, I definitely missed an opportunity there, but it was late. Ot people followed Amy Wells on Twitter at Titans Amy am Ie, and follow Reet Bryan

on Twitter as well at Rhett B Tennessee. And that is Rhett like Rhet Butler with an r at Rhet B Tennessee. You can follow both of them. Yeah, I'm sure now you've probably added thousands of followers just since that was mentioned on the OTP. YEP. It's halftime of the OTP, by the way, and halftime of the OTP is brought to you by Duncan. Duncan has a new rewards program, Duncan Rewards. It's really really fantastic.

Really, and they have a brownie batter latte that they've just introduced for Valentine's I think I might be going to Duncan immediately. Conclusion of this podcast. Okay, so who wins the Super Bowl? Rep? Brian, I say the Kansas City

Chiefs still do it? I just Patrick mahomes Is. I think about the conversation speaking of OTPs that we had at the Senior Bowl with Stefani A Belle, the injury analyst for ESPN. She said, he'll have two weeks to prepare for this, and she said, in my opinion, I think he was just playing through a difficult injury and did not hurt it any worse than what it was. And if he's got two weeks to get ready, which he will have by the time that happens. I just

they've been there and done that. But there's a part of you that goes but the Eagles are riding something special. I still say it's the Kansas City Chiefs, though, yeah, I think it's the Philadelphia Eagles. I think that they've had They've just had it firing on all cylinders all season long. I think they've got too many complete phases

of that game. I mean, Kansas City is riding a lot on fancy things and kind of a flick of the wrist, and there's a lot of smoke and mirrors and magic that seems to happen with Kansas City, and they're winning and it works and that's great. I think that Philadelphia is a more complete, stable team, and I think that's going to show on Sunday. I think we run it back to Super Bowl. I guess it was fifty where Carolina came in fifteen and one and they were supposed to be Denver and then didn't. I think

Philadelphia is Carolina in that equation. I think if the game were played with no week off, Philadelphia wins. I like Kansas City with two weeks, not just because of health, but because of coaching, because they've been there. But most importantly, I think Kansas City can block Philadelphia's front And because I believe that, I think Patrick Mahomes will show out. I also think Steve Spagnola will have something for Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia offense. I'll tell you what I guess.

I wasn't playing paying too close attention to this matchup due to my overall anger of not being in it. This is the Andy Reid Bowl, like all roads lead to Andy Reid. In this matchup, I was watching some yeah coached in Philly. He's coached with like every single person that's going to be on the field. Fired Nick Serry any when he became the head coach of the Chief and that has always been a little pain point for him, which also I think makes this matchup interesting

from a coaching perspective. I shouldn't say that he didn't fire him, he did not retain him as receivers coach. I mean he let him. He let the guy walk, and Syrian, to his credit, has said Andy Reid was super about He said, listen, I got a guy. You know you'll be okay. You know you're gonna do well, and then he went on to the Chargers and everything's worked out. But Sirian, he's clearly a guy who keeps Yeah, I agree, he keeps your sipts. But I just thought

that was so interesting. Every road leads to Andy Reid in the super Bowl. It's wild and it's the biggest gap in coaches ages in Super Bowl history. And it's the two youngest quarterbacks starting against each other in super Bowl history at twenty seven and twenty four years old. Yes, two African American quarterbacks, who black quarterbacks starting in the Super Bowl for the first time ever. A lot of a lot of firsts in this one. How do we feel about the Kelsey brothers Mom? Do you think she's

a nervous rack? I think she wins either way. I think I've had enough. Oh you're done, You're done with Donna. I'm a little yeah that story. Of course, during super Bowl week I get grumpy like you do, and when I start to get the same stories over and over again, it makes you. Yeah. That's why I wanted to record this otp early in the week, so because because I could get I could go off on tangents about so many different things. All the dumb questions at media night.

That's the point of media nighted, Yes, that's the whole point. You get so many non sports people covering a sports event. You've got to give him one night to get all of the goofa loop stuff out and then we can carry out. Having done that and having witnessed that twenty three years ago, it hasn't changed. You know, things in

life have progressed. You know, we have we have better technology, we have better healthcare, we have better cars, we have The Super Bowl press day has not No, there are still some people there that ask, and I mean I know they have to. But the most chaotic experience there when we were there and he was in later hosen, Yeah, and that was a kind of an interesting Well it just makes you wonder. It's like, did they filter anybody

for credential Well, I don't. I mean, I guess they have to credential them because this guy was with a legitimate outlet. I guess he's part of the thing leader hoose and weekly maybe monthly. You're there, you're looking at that, You're going, I mean, you know, it's a look. It wouldn't work on me, but from Beerstein collectors magazine. Yeah, I mean I there, you know, it's just chaotic. I did meet Tara Leapinski there at a media day. Every time you see a figure, well, and I didn't cry.

I just it was very exciting, Like Sean Johnson. You okay, she is a gymnast. Yes, but I didn't cry. But but you really, but you get real excited. I did get really get really excited over Yes, it's great, touches my heart. Hayton Manning didn't say you were the best, okay, And this is going to happen for the rest of our lives. Yes, may wait till my next contract negotiation. BUREA health plans. We gotta get out of here. We gotta get out of here. Yeah, and so are you,

Mike Key, thank you so much. But see, this is what I love about being able to say that on the OTP. The ot people know that's a joke. They get that. See this is why. And you got on me because I retweeted it to because weird look faces. Okay, they were a little eye rolly heads because I knew what was coming here. We sit ladies and gentlemen said it one time, you won't say it again. That's not true, that's not even a little bit. Can I set you

up for the Farm Bureau Health Plans? Reader, Yes, please, I'm gonna do this in old three stooges fashion. You remember this bit when they go, I say, Jasper, what comes after seventy five? Seventy six? That's how many years they've been protecting Tennessee. And see how much you could save under your health coverage with what we hope is not our former sponsor, Farm Bureau Health Plans. Get it quoted FBHP dot com. We love the folks at Farm Bureau Health Plans. They are very good to us, and

we love the OT people. We do, thank you so much. We need to have some sort of gathering of the OT people. Well let's work on that. Yes, you need to have a gathering of the OT people, and do an otp live in front of the OT people? Yes? Can we call it something better than a gathering? No? I like the gathering of the ot it's the conclave of the OT people. It feels like we should be drinking out of goblets or something. Oh wow, that's terrible.

I've got to find a place and we'll make it happen. Yeah, we're called gathering gathering. Yes we will. We will call it the Gathering of the OTP. I think this is a terrible name. You don't like that. No, And because you turn everything into acronyms, it would be the g ot EP the got I didn't and that would be terrible at that And now that sounds like a T shirt.

All right, we're done. I hope you've enjoyed this edition of the OTP for Rett Brian and Amy Wells, I, Mike Keith, thank you for listening to the acronym filled O T
