| 0:39.3 | All right, welcome. I said it. You love it. If you're a certain age, you got good memories at the shopping mall. Food court was always like the coolest part of the coolest hang. Mantise, is there anybody you wanted to shout out, or are you too young? Were they not cool mall? No. No. In Hawaii, I bet you've had some. Cinnabon was a goat, bro. We would always go to the Cinebawall. |
| 0:40.3 | Give me all the pecans on that thing. Is it pecanes or pecans? I don't know. It's pecans. Seth, what about in Iowa growing up? Did you, I bet you went to the mall? mall? Oh, of course we went to the mall, man. A little arcade off to the side. They had a |
| 0:51.8 | football game where I tried to throw it through the window and then I'd be eating my |
| 0:55.1 | Sabaro breadsticks on the way out, man. little arcade off to the side. They had like a football game where I tried to throw it through the window, |
| 0:56.9 | and then I'd be eating my Sabaro breadsticks on the way out, man. |
| 1:05.1 | Well, it's funny you mentioned that, Sabaro. We may get back to that shortly because it is time for Threwdown Thursday. |
| 1:13.0 | We start in the National Football Conference South where Bucks GM, Jason Light, our guy, one of the best GMs in the whole industry. He went on Pat McAfee show and discussed how the rejected Max Crosby trade |
| 1:18.4 | helped Tampa land our beloved Ruben Bain Jr. in the draft. Go ahead and roll it. |
| 1:25.0 | When, you know, the Raiders, Ravens trade didn't work out. I think that in some way, I'd like to think, helped us a little bit. I was a little afraid if the Raiders made that trade that, you know, SpyTech, you know, he and I are very close. He was taunting me a little bit. Hey, we're sitting right in front of you. I know what you need. And then, you know, Crosby goes back to the Raiders. Then the Ravens are sitting there again with their pick, and I know they love their edge rushers too. So that had me nervous. So maybe the fact that the Raiders signed Lindbaum helped us get Rubin. So, you know, we're all trying to help each other out here, especially the |
| 2:01.6 | people that are good friends. So thanks to PITAC. That's really cool. Light and Spitech worked together for a long time. It's relatable, too. It's kind of like when you're doing a fantasy draft and the person drafting before or after you is one of your best friends. You know, you know that they always love to draft Jamar Chase and maybe you take him or maybe you let him go. There's all sorts of |
| 2:20.1 | unspoken familiar. friends. You know, you know that they always love to draft Jamar Chase and maybe you take him or |
| 2:18.2 | maybe you let him go. There's all sorts of unspoken familiarity and that's what I think was going on |
| 2:23.2 | between Tampa and Las Vegas. But let's get back to the man. Ruben Bain Jr. We've been hyping him for a |
| 2:29.2 | long time, but especially after he blew by the hat stand in the draft tunnel. Let's get into it. |
| 2:34.3 | Bigger chip on their shoulder this upcoming season. |
| 2:38.1 | Ruben Bain Jr., who wasn't drafted where he thought he should have gone and was |
| 2:41.6 | slighted because of his arm length or that guy in the right, Max Crosby, who went through |
| 2:46.0 | an unprecedented historic 24 hours going from Baltimore and back. |
| 2:50.3 | Mantai, who do you think? |
