On today's show, Theo breaks down the Saints loss to the Rams in Super Bowl LIV and gives his thoughts on why the Saints should have been in the game and why the Rams should have won the game. He also gives his reaction to the controversial pass interference call on Brandin Cooks.
00:00:00.000Today's episode is brought to you by Ridge Wallet. Ridge Wallet, it is, it's a, I mean it's a damn wallet and you know it and it's a, you know, people will often, they put stuff in their back pockets or sometimes they'll give a wallet and they'll make their wife kind of carry the wallet on their shoulder or something with like a heavy strap on it or, you know, or some people will bury their wallet and go and get it when they need it and use money and then rebury it.
00:00:30.000And that's, all of that shit is old. That's a bad idea. So what you need to do is get this Ridge Wallet and it's that front pocket carry, it's that hard piece. Listen to this sound.

00:01:17.980Oh man, I am, uh, that Saints game and, well, let's get into it.
00:05:16.800Even more, though, the helmet-to-helmet was the thing that got me really just felt like somebody just hit a bunch of just damn pop rocks, you know, just deep inside of my ass.
00:05:32.680And, man, it just, it was just insane.
00:06:11.100And you give them the ball back with maybe 20 seconds left or whatever, or a minute left, and they have to go the whole field.
00:06:18.740It just, and you're still, and you're going to get your field goal.
00:06:21.620It just seemed like he, you know, he tried to run too many things with Taysom Hill.
00:06:26.620Like, I love Taysom Hill, but you have Drew Brees, brother.
00:06:32.980Drew Brees is the, you know, if Jesus Christ ever had an appendix, and they took the appendix out of his body, and it just showed up here on earth and just started just dropping dimes to people in the distance.
00:07:11.600And I didn't mean to say that, but like a bee hole.
00:07:13.460And, God, why, and that, if he doesn't have to be cute there, if he doesn't have to be fancy, he doesn't, if he doesn't do all that, the saints win.
00:07:25.900They rock, but when you, too much ego, man, that'll make destiny, it'll make destiny say, wow, this guy don't want to be a part of everything.
00:07:35.280He wants to do, he wants to be cutesy.
00:08:01.200You know, and immediately I think of the, you know, a lot of senior citizens.
00:08:04.980And they're going to die in the next year.
00:08:06.480They're not even going to get to see the opportunity for the next season.
00:08:09.060And this was something they, you know, just a lot of full hearts, you know, was going to give them that opportunity to roll up into heaven with a little bit of, a little extra fucking, you know, chowder in their bowl.
00:08:25.380A little extra spirit chowder in their soul bowl.
00:08:30.260And, man, it just, oh, it was just heartbreaking.
00:08:35.800And I couldn't, I could not even bear to talk to some of my friends, man.
00:08:44.060One buddy, I called him, we sat there on the phone.
00:09:17.060You get you a little, you know, a flag or maybe some, you know, a little, maybe shoes for the baby that have, you know, little Tennessee Titans on them or whatever you want.
00:09:29.020Whatever your team is, you know, Brooklyn, I don't even know what that team is up there.
00:09:34.820Fucking, I think it's just a bunch of rappers and people with guns, really.
00:10:03.340You know, you think about that and you, you pray for him or you think about him.
00:10:08.140And you hope that he finds strength to continue his season and to keep his, you know, just find strength for his family.
00:10:16.540And, you know, you just think about a lot of these different things.
00:10:22.140And you care and you're there and you want them and you see their joy.
00:10:26.340And you see, and then it just, I just felt like Sean Payton to coach that way seems selfish because you got a lot of people whose lives are, can be affected by this moment of joy.
00:14:30.000And, you know, and being a fan, you put so much out.
00:14:36.060I don't, what do you think about being a fan?
00:14:39.080I'd love to know some of you guys' thoughts.
00:14:41.720And just on what it is to be a fan and what goes into it and what, because here's one thing I thought.
00:14:48.060I thought this at the end of the game.
00:14:49.520I said when I was driving down to Irvine, I thought to myself, I said, well, man, if this is the type of refereeing they're going to have.
00:14:58.800And if this is the type of, you know, coaches can just call horrible shit and, and it can break your damn heart.
00:15:08.160Like, I don't know if I want to watch as much or get as deep as I do anymore, because as a fan, because the other side of the equation, they're not, you know, I felt like the coach didn't do his part and the refs didn't do their part to make it a fair, fair enough field for me to put my emotions into it.
00:15:30.460So, but yeah, if you guys have thoughts on what it is to be a fan and what that means to you, or if you had a family member that, you know, gave it their, you know, just, I mean, some people, cause I'll never play, you know, I'll never, there was a point in my life when I'd be like, oh, I might get out there and play.
00:15:49.960You know, I'd be sitting on the couch at 27, you know, you know, getting a couple of grams of fricking, uh, that, that dusty, dusty, that dusty, dusty, dusty.
00:16:00.200And then, uh, next thing, you know, I'm thinking in my head, oh, I might get out there and play next year.
00:16:05.560I might try to audition for the new Orleans saints.
00:16:09.120That was the kind of show or the LSU, you know what I'm saying?
00:20:01.380You know, like a damn, like kind of, I got that ass cheek of like a, you know, a black girl with Down syndrome who's been playing Twister by herself.
00:20:09.920You know, my thighs get fucking just, you know, real tight, tight.
00:20:29.440Usually I go, when I go into these places, these little, you know, the, uh, the thigh massagers, when I go in there and they trying to, you know, they trying to, you know, get you to spray out in there in the jack shack.
00:20:40.380And one of my buddies said they'd jerk him off sometime and they left with the semen.
00:21:10.780They jerk you off and then they cop that seat.
00:21:14.080And I'm not saying these women are bad women or anything like that.
00:21:16.740I mean, you know, seven out of, out of probably, seven out of probably 13 times I go into one of these massage parlors and they do it right.
00:21:27.300And they do that choppy choppy on daddy and they fucking, dude, they used to have these people.
00:21:32.380I told Jim Jeffries this, downtown you, for $40, these two Vietnamese dudes will fucking beat the fuck out of you.
00:21:39.760And they had soft arms and hands, but also like fast and soft.
00:23:08.500And anyway, they had this conflict where it was like these guys from Kentucky, a school.
00:23:13.560And everybody jumped on the bandwagon of saying that these kids were awful and these kids were horrible.
00:23:20.840And because only a small piece of a video had gone out where a Native American man and a group of, what does it say, black Israelite guys and these white Catholic kids, they'd all kind of merged in this area.
00:23:35.860And only a small piece of the video had gone out.
00:23:39.520And everybody just had, we all had conclusions.
00:24:17.760And the other people involved in the kind of exact conflict were a little bit older.
00:24:21.400But I say this to tell you, the reason I brought this up is because that's one of the value of podcasts is that you can get the whole breadth of what's going on.
00:24:32.820And I just want to thank people that come and listen and that listen to other podcasts because you don't just get a little snip.
00:24:39.720You don't just get three or four seconds or 40 seconds of exactly what the writer or the creator wants you to see, what they want you to believe.
00:25:56.140You get what was happening before, what the buildup was, what occurred, what was, you know, you get it all.
00:26:03.620And you can make an educated decision or an educated idea, or also you see everybody's part in something.
00:26:11.800It's the same as with the, if you just look at the pass interference call from the Saints-Rams games, Saints-Ram game, you know, which probably killed it.
00:26:20.860I'd love to see an article on how many people died when the pass interference call didn't get called.
00:26:27.560I bet, is there an over-under on that?
00:27:17.960And that's one of the beauties of podcasting is you can sit and listen to a lot of people and get the full story.
00:27:26.720And I believe that there's, you know, there's people that want to serve the short story to get their point across.
00:27:34.280And there's, and there's, and podcasting, that's why it's taken off is because it, it just gives you the full story and lets you make your own choices.
00:27:44.440I don't feel like it's trying to convince you of things very much.
00:27:48.020But also, what the fuck do I know, man?
00:27:50.580You know, just a sad dude that drove down to Irvine last night and got lifted up by about 500 people.
00:27:56.620And in turn, had maybe the best show of the weekend, I thought.
00:29:10.120And I want to thank Martin Luther King as well.
00:29:16.560You know, just a great speaker, a leader.
00:29:20.120And I can only imagine the confidence that he had a lot of times to really stay in the face of adversity and trust himself.
00:29:32.800You know, even probably when his people, some people were following him that he didn't, he might have thought were followers of him for the wrong reason.
00:29:42.180A lot of people attach to Martin Luther King.
00:29:44.520You know, when somebody starts to be a leader, people attach to them.
00:29:47.820And some of those attachments are good and helpful and teammates.
00:29:51.300And some are, want to take, and they want to just, you know, they want something for themselves.
00:29:58.140But, you know, he really seemed to be, I mean, he was just so poignant, so eloquent.
00:30:06.920You know, last time I stayed up, I was watching a couple of different speeches and parts from different documentaries that were on YouTube.
00:30:30.920Because just little things, like even for me, I wouldn't have been able to have a Sunday night show that had so many people come out because a lot of people have the day off today.
00:30:37.980And thank you, Martin Luther King Jr., because you knew that I would need the day off after that fucking referee call.
00:32:09.980Because I know a lot of these ladies sneaking, they putting that thing on, they putting that sauce on a warming plate and busting it out the back door.
00:32:18.800Shipping it off to Guam or Germany or probably, you know, New Jersey or Bethlehem or something.
00:32:26.080And they pop it, you know, and they slanging that, that sugar sauce on the DL, getting them heightened prices for daddy's pop, pop.
00:32:34.360But what I'm trying to tell you guys is, sorry, I can't get through this ad.
00:32:39.180Blue Chew is a performance enhancement for the bedroom.
00:32:42.580You know, I've, uh, uh, you know, I've had issues over the years.
00:32:45.560And I used to get them gas station wiener pills.
00:32:48.660And I used to get them gas station wiener pills.
00:42:41.400You know, it was like, you know, it was like part of my, uh, I think approval is what makes up part of your, uh, comfort zone.
00:42:57.340Um, and that approval a lot of times is, you know, your parents will teach you how, how, how to approve yourself or you will, um, you know,
00:44:39.020But, um, but I'm just, it's, sorry, I'm trying to, I'm getting off track, but, you know, if you get those, those pieces of approval make you feel okay.
00:44:50.840And you, some people, you have it built in you, and when you don't have it built in you, then you have this, you have to find, you have to find moments that make you okay.
00:45:04.680Uh, but now, yeah, it's not as much that as I just want to be able to be in a healthiest place, to be able to, um, to make the show good and make it fun for people.
00:45:18.420And also, I know that a lot of my audience is so understanding and cool, and man, so many nice people.
00:45:36.100You know, I don't know if I would do that for people, but maybe now I will.
00:45:40.360You know, it's funny the things that I learned from even people that come out to the shows.
00:45:44.280Uh, pretty, you know, I'm just realizing I'm a pretty lover.
00:45:48.420I'm a lucky guy to, you know, not only am I getting to have people come and listen to my art, but I'm getting to meet a lot of really neat people.
00:53:04.320And I don't care that that person is me or that that person is our listeners or I'm just happy because I could tell in your voice that you, it seemed like you know that.
01:05:00.280But wow, we got some neat people that listen to this show.
01:05:03.520You know, people are living their lives.
01:05:05.960And that's one thing about life and destiny and that.
01:05:10.460It's like no matter, you know, a huge, the Saints lose and this happens.
01:05:14.960And, you know, 11 senior citizens died.
01:05:17.540And people's, you know, buying gas cans just to sneakily get a, you know, hit a blue chew, them rhino dick hitters.
01:05:24.960And, you know, but the truth is that life goes on.
01:05:29.700The truth is that, you know, those rhino dick hitters, the truth is that life keeps going on and that today different things are happening.
01:05:39.400And somebody's falling in love and somebody's, you know, someone is, you know, getting a phone number of someone they've been in love with for a while.
01:05:56.840Somebody is forgiving somebody, even though it's a really hard thing to do.
01:06:05.540You know, you know, in my life recently I've had some, you know, I've, you know, been, you know, kind of forgiven and still loved by somebody that I wasn't always the best to.
01:06:20.520And when people do that, man, it's just, that's strikingly powerful.
01:06:53.340And, you know, one thing that's interesting is now I used to live in Charleston and I worked on King Street and I worked at a bar.
01:06:58.860And I used to be a door boy, you know, out there bouncing and fucking, you know, just that T-shirt that you just see the bottom of that bicep, you know.
01:07:08.280And really those guys are just a bunch of bicepuals, you know.
01:07:11.640Like if you see those door boys, a lot of times if you go look behind the edge of the building or the bar, you'll see a couple of them just rubbing their biceps against each other.
01:07:37.540But anyhow, but one interesting thing that happens I want people to know is the Citadel or the Citadel as people call them different stuff.
01:07:47.480Because people, nobody knows how to really read or spell that great overall.
01:08:21.380And they just cruise through the street.
01:08:22.820And they're just really, really awesome.
01:08:25.600It was a great, it was a great thing to witness when I was there in Charleston was, it just took you back, you know, a hundred years in time.
01:08:35.280Anyway, last weekend, this dude called in, talking about how, I think it was the guy from Charlotte, talking about how it's an issue if some girl's talking to her ex-boyfriend.
01:08:47.320And that one kind of hit close to home, because one of my, one of my ex-girlfriends, and I have a really good, like, friendly relationship.
01:09:21.160And by this gentleman, you could even mean me.
01:09:22.900I think that was my, kind of my point of view.
01:09:25.020You know, I thought, uh, that, you know, a man doesn't keep in touch with a woman for any real reason other than, like, a sexual reason.
01:09:32.800Um, or that it's hard to really have a platonic friendship between the two.
01:09:36.560Where one doesn't have some sort of sexual inclination or gravitas towards the other.
01:09:41.600Or want to touch titty, or, you know what I'm saying, or tap nut.
01:09:44.220But, but, yeah, man, I mean, you know, you got me thinking right now that maybe you're right.
01:09:56.580Maybe times are changing where we are understanding more and we also have to go to different places to get the emotional connection that we need.
01:10:09.420Especially now that, you know, families are a little bit more separated and, you know, with two parents working and, you know, not as much connection between a lot of families anymore.
01:10:21.500Relationships and, you know, divorce and that sort of thing.
01:10:23.500I think, yeah, I think you're, you really make me think of something important that, you know, maybe now more than ever, it is, it is maybe more common to have just a friend who is, uh, of the other sex.
01:10:53.460And if you're, and if you say, if you have a, if you have a friend and your girlfriend, if that friend is a man, then your wife or girlfriend might not be upset because they're not thinking.
01:11:03.760Then if you guys do want to fuck, y'all have to be gay for a little while.
01:11:07.860You have to be gay for a little while to do sex with each other and you got to come back to your spouse and not be gay.
01:11:13.680So they're thinking then there's at least that, that, that hurdle there that, that, that, that, um, you have to, that you have to go over that ravine of choice where you're saying, okay, I'm a gay out, you know, I'm going to be wild and experience some of the things that I want to, you know, maybe these dark, you know, these darker edges of myself or these wilder edges.
01:11:35.680And I don't mean darker like it's negative, but these, you know, you, you know, you want to get fancy and touchy and tap nut with your buddy.
01:11:43.680Um, so you have that, you have to go through that.
01:11:46.760You have to, you have to, you have to, you know, you have to be bisexual brother.
01:12:10.720Um, but yeah, I mean, it is also a time where we go to different places.
01:12:13.680To get different feelings where I think a lot of them used to come straight from like the, you know, the familial space and I'm just guesstimating.
01:12:20.980But when families were closer and they, you know, needed each other more and there wasn't as much outside influence from the world and technology and, you know, families had farms and they needed to tend to their crops and do all that kind of stuff together.
01:12:32.820And you had that tribal vibe, you know, as Sebastian Younger talks about when you had that old school, you got different emotions from different places.
01:12:41.100And it was also close together in your source of family.
01:12:45.000And now maybe you have to go door to door these days to get the love and affection and emotion or little pieces of everything that you need.
01:13:14.340You know, I have dreams sometimes that if I could live another life, I would live over there in New York somewhere, you know, and just be, uh, just inundated with the vibe that's there.
01:14:13.020You know, that's nice of you to call, bro.
01:14:15.960Um, yeah, I'm sorry that you're dealing with that.
01:14:20.360I'm sorry that your cousin's going through that.
01:14:22.140Uh, I don't know if he's, you know, if you're able to talk to him.
01:14:27.180I bet it's scary for him even if he doesn't want to talk about it or admit it.
01:14:30.300You know, sometimes when we, when we're tough, we don't, we can't, you know, we can't even access the fact that we're scared.
01:14:38.080Uh, man, I bet if you could be tough and be in like a lifestyle like that, I bet, I bet you could help so many younger dudes and keep them from getting in, you know.
01:15:02.020In the, like, uh, you know, in the harm's way or, or I bet you could help so many younger guys who don't have like a, a brotherly figure, you know.
01:15:20.900Or who don't have like a cousin or don't have like a male role model.
01:15:28.900You know, I don't know you, but I bet you could, man.
01:15:31.540I mean, it sounds like if you kick, if you can care about your cousin that much, you know, I bet there's a lot of little dudes out there who don't have that, you know.
01:15:38.840Or a lot of young bucks who just need somebody, you know.
01:15:43.320You know, it just sounds like, like if you can care about somebody like him, then I bet you could care about a lot of people.
01:15:53.560And it would just give you a lot of purpose then.
01:15:56.960You know, there's so much power in like helping others and, uh, and you deserve it, dude.
01:16:04.640You know, you're good, you know, I don't even know you, man, but I know that you're probably a good person.
01:16:10.000And I know that, you know, people love you, bro.
01:16:17.020You know, I don't know what your family's like.
01:16:18.500I don't know if you have parents or whatever, but I don't know if you're close with them or whatever, but I bet they really, really loved you.
01:16:26.780I bet they really do, even if they can't even show you sometimes.
01:16:30.620You know, I think there's this burden that we have as humans.
01:16:34.100Sometimes we're just unable to show people that we care.
01:17:09.380But I just wanted to make, try and make you laugh.
01:17:13.120But yeah, man, you can, you can, you know, a 12 step program helped me.
01:17:16.960I didn't think there was any, I didn't think there were ways that I was ever going to feel better, that I could change my situation, that I could have a different insight to myself.
01:17:23.300Dude, even talking about this stuff with you right now.
01:17:26.460Man, I never thought I would be fucking thinking about this kind of stuff ever.
01:17:36.400Like, I would say that I cared about myself, but I didn't ever feel it.
01:17:40.560And then I got into some 12 step and recovery help and that shit changed my life.
01:17:45.760You know, and it still changes my life.
01:17:48.580And here's the thing, I haven't even made it through the fucking steps.
01:17:53.080The simple fact that I have places to go all the time where other people who are brave enough to try and, you know, take on stuff in their life that were there together.
01:22:05.740I just went to a meeting and I heard someone talk about how they felt and why they were not doing well.
01:22:10.140And somebody told me that, that I was an okay person and that I wasn't going to be addicted to cocaine forever.
01:22:16.800And, man, I don't even know if I was having that much of a problem with it, to be honest with you.
01:22:20.980But that could also be the addict in my head talking.
01:22:23.820But I was having a problem with myself.
01:22:27.260I was having a problem with myself when I was there at 7 a.m., you know, having to cancel whatever I was supposed to do that day.
01:22:33.640And I'm just in my apartment just like looking at pornography and, you know, I can't even touch myself anymore because I done touched myself, you know.
01:22:43.760And I got that soft boss just laying on my stomach.
01:22:47.060And I've had that adult penis since childhood and you know that.
01:22:50.520So, you know, I got that big, that beached fucking armadillo just laying on my stomach.
01:22:56.640And, uh, and I would just be sick of myself.
01:23:00.520And I'd be afraid to go to sleep because I thought I would die because I was fucked up.
01:23:06.880And I used to write wills out to my mother.
01:23:08.780I'd write a will out, you know, and I'd put it by the bed in case something happened to me.
01:23:14.440Uh, because I didn't want to, you know, I didn't want to be thinking about myself when I died, you know.
01:23:21.460Um, but, but I went in a 12-step meeting, man.
01:24:40.820Imagine if you think you at the beach, but really you're downtown.
01:24:48.620So imagine you see a guy downtown and he's got on his sandals and he's putting on sunscreen and he's putting a lawn chair out on 6th Avenue and, you know, downtown.
01:25:41.780Now, look, if you, if, and if, but if you still partying out there, you want to do that dust and you want to do fucking let that brain donkey loose inside of yourself.
01:25:50.120Fuck, I'll hold the back of your neck while you do that long line.
01:25:53.980You know, I'll hold your fucking back of your neck while you're doing that fucking, you know,
01:27:03.160He didn't say, you know, and, you know, somebody trying to, you know, you know, let their bodies pontificate each other or do that or do that touchy.
01:31:36.680Thank you guys so much for everything.
01:31:38.240Thank you for submitting a single mom.
01:31:39.720You know, and good luck to our boy heading out over there in a basic training.
01:31:48.520And just for sharing, you know, an experience that some of us didn't have, you know, just for sharing it, you know, and for trying something new and for being brave, man.
01:31:57.020We fucking, you know, we're not giving up, man.
