Speaker 1: This is the OTP presented by Farm Bureau Health Plants.
Speaker 1: Let the experts at Farm Bureau Health Plants coach you
Speaker 1: through it when you'd need great healthcare coverage at a
Speaker 1: price you can afford. They've been protecting Tennesseeans since nineteen
Speaker 1: forty seven with Amy Wells on Mike Keith pads. We
Speaker 1: have pads at practice. The best part. That's really what
Speaker 1: I'm here for the first week of training. Camp is
Speaker 1: like a long runway. It's just the run up to
Speaker 1: take off, which is pads the real football. It's real
Speaker 1: football back at St. Thomas Sports Park. What jumped out
Speaker 1: at you about pads the amount of work that they
Speaker 1: were doing. It didn't seem like the usual or what
Speaker 1: I have seen sometimes as the chaos of pads, where
Speaker 1: everyone's just flying around hitting everybody. It gets a little
Speaker 1: chaotic because people are just really excited. There's obviously a
Speaker 1: buzz and people were obviously fired up, but it seemed
Speaker 1: like intentional. It felt like they were working. It felt
Speaker 1: more organized and like everyone was pulling in one direction,
Speaker 1: as opposed to sometimes when it's just mayhem because people
Speaker 1: are wearing pads. Did you notice that I think they're
Speaker 1: further along as a ball club, and it feels like
Speaker 1: they get more done because they're older. Yes, the team
Speaker 1: is older. The team has been with this head coach
Speaker 1: for four years. The great majority of this coaching staff
Speaker 1: has been here all four years, and it's like they
Speaker 1: just dove right back in and picked up where they
Speaker 1: left off in January preparing for the Baltimore playoff game.
Speaker 1: It feels like an adult football team. That's a good
Speaker 1: way to put it. Yeah, everyone feels grown up. But
Speaker 1: speaking of grown ups, one of the younger players, Caleb Farley,
Speaker 1: first round pick for Genia Tech, cornerback, talented guy called
Speaker 1: off of Fi and is practicing, not doing everything, but
Speaker 1: he's practicing. I don't need him to do everything, And
Speaker 1: I think that this is something that Titans fans need
Speaker 1: to keep in mind throughout the entirety of training camp.
Speaker 1: Coach Vrabel does a really, really good job of monitoring
Speaker 1: his players, making sure they don't over exert themselves, making
Speaker 1: sure they're taking care of their bodies. And he's doing
Speaker 1: that with a lot of people this season. We're seeing
Speaker 1: already he's giving a lot of breaks to some of
Speaker 1: the older guys. He's making sure that Caleb Farley doesn't
Speaker 1: do too much. He's making sure there a lot of
Speaker 1: different guys are out there, they're getting their work in,
Speaker 1: and then they're pulling them back a little bit, which
Speaker 1: I think is so smart because you're not winning any
Speaker 1: games out here right now. You're just not You're gonna
Speaker 1: win games in September. We need everybody to be healthy
Speaker 1: in September. So I think it's so smart what Mike
Speaker 1: Vrabel is doing and the way that he's managing this
Speaker 1: football team. But people sometimes see, what do you mean,
Speaker 1: Caleb Farley didn't do every single thing. It's okay, it's good.
Speaker 1: Julio Jones off practice a couple of days after getting
Speaker 1: a little dinged up on Monday. Julio Jones could never
Speaker 1: practice again, and he would be just fine on Sundays.
Speaker 1: He's a thousand years old. He knows how to do this,
Speaker 1: a thousand years old. Speaking of players coming in, Sam
Speaker 1: Ficken is here, kicker, Jets cut him, Titans claim him
Speaker 1: off waivers. They get rid of Blake Howbeal, the rookie
Speaker 1: from Ohio State, and now he is competing with Tucker McCann.
Speaker 1: McCann has been very consistent and you bring in a
Speaker 1: guy like Ficken who has some kicks in this league.
Speaker 1: Has been a little streaky in his career, but has
Speaker 1: made some big kicks at different times when he's played
Speaker 1: for the Rams and the Jets, and so the kicking
Speaker 1: competition winds forward. Both kickers appeared to have a very
Speaker 1: good day on Wednesday. Yeah, they did. And it's a
Speaker 1: fun competition to watch because what this team is looking
Speaker 1: for it seems as consistency. It's not necessarily the biggest, strongest,
Speaker 1: most like longest kicks in the world, but you need
Speaker 1: someone consistent and reliable. That's what this team is looking for.
Speaker 1: So to watch these guys battle it out and to
Speaker 1: see them working on the side, and then to watch
Speaker 1: them come on and do all the different kicks that
Speaker 1: they do during the special teams periods really fun to watch.
Speaker 1: I'm excited about it. But you're absolutely right, Mike. Tucker
Speaker 1: McCann's a guy who has been here for a while
Speaker 1: and has been able to keep working and keep developing
Speaker 1: as a kicker. So we'll see if that helps. And
Speaker 1: bringing in fresh blood always always makes the competition a
Speaker 1: little bit more interesting. One thing about Tucker McCann too,
Speaker 1: is having been here, having been in this system, having
Speaker 1: understood all that goes on, certainly towards his favor. The
Speaker 1: other part, the Titans punter Brett Kern is a little
Speaker 1: bit older. He's mid thirties, and you know, he got
Speaker 1: dinged up in a game last year. Tucker mccan can punt.
Speaker 1: He was going to be the punter last year, we
Speaker 1: thought until he got hurt in practice. When Kern got injured,
Speaker 1: then Tucker McCann looked like was going to be the guy.
Speaker 1: So you don't mind that versatility just as a little
Speaker 1: bit of a backup to potentially get you through a game.
Speaker 1: It was a pretty good punter when he did so
Speaker 1: at Missouri, right, Yeah, Yeah, he was a good punter,
Speaker 1: and so having that versatility and that kind of plan
Speaker 1: be really helpful because not every kicker can punt. No,
Speaker 1: it's a different skill set. It is a different skill set.
Speaker 1: We said early on the star of training camp might
Speaker 1: have been a Moni hooker intercepting passes, making things happen.
Speaker 1: I wonder has that turned to Christian Fulton now, who
Speaker 1: has had a really nice week so far. I think
Speaker 1: they could be co stars. Is that possible? Can they
Speaker 1: be co stars of Camp because yes, they have both
Speaker 1: been showing marked improvement from last year to this year,
Speaker 1: and they both look very comfortable in having more responsibility
Speaker 1: and take on bigger roles on the field. We've seen
Speaker 1: both of them make plays. I'll give him co stars.
Speaker 1: Mike Luke Stocker is back. Luke Stocker is back. Luke Stocker,
Speaker 1: who joined the Titans in December of twenty seventeen after
Speaker 1: being waived by the team who drafted him Tampa Bay,
Speaker 1: spent the rest of seventeen In all of eighteen with
Speaker 1: the Titans, last two years with the Falcons. He is
Speaker 1: thirty three years old, the eleventh year man out of Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Big burly blocking tight end Jeff Swain has not been practicing,
Speaker 1: so Luke Stocker has gotten all of those reps right. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: He's got that veteran presence the same way that Jeff
Speaker 1: Swain does, so he's able to come in. He understands
Speaker 1: what he needs to be doing. He's able to make
Speaker 1: an impact pretty quickly on the field in terms of
Speaker 1: helping some of the other guys in that room figure
Speaker 1: out what they need to be doing. And yeah, he's
Speaker 1: a guy who we know can be a consistent player.
Speaker 1: We've seen what he's able to do, and he's a
Speaker 1: strong dude. He is strong and strong a lot the
Speaker 1: same build as Tommy Hudson, who is in his second
Speaker 1: year with the Titans out of Arizona State. Last year
Speaker 1: on the practice squad, Tommy Hudson getting a lot of reps,
Speaker 1: getting a lot of work, got a chance right now
Speaker 1: to make his mark towards towards I think making the
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster. To me, for Tommy Hudson, it's
Speaker 1: going to be how do you translate that to the
Speaker 1: preseason games? The preseason games are kind of the next piece.
Speaker 1: You know, when you break down training camp, you talk
Speaker 1: about actually getting to training camp, and then you put
Speaker 1: the pads on and then you've got the preseason games.
Speaker 1: So seeing some of these guys like a Tommy Hudson
Speaker 1: out in action when everything is live and seeing how
Speaker 1: they react, how they're able to make plays, and are
Speaker 1: they able to still execute their assignments, that's going to
Speaker 1: be the next test. But yeah, Tommy Hudson has been
Speaker 1: getting a lot of recognition these last couple of days
Speaker 1: for what he's been able to do in practice. You
Speaker 1: know who else has two is Marcus Johnson, the fifth
Speaker 1: year wide receiver from Texas. He has done a nice
Speaker 1: job and with Julio Jones taking some time off and
Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds being a little dinged up too, he has
Speaker 1: had the opportunity to get a lot of first team reps.
Speaker 1: Keeps making plays. And here's an interesting thing about him,
Speaker 1: and I want to throw this one at you. He
Speaker 1: caught a pass in practice earlier this week in the
Speaker 1: end zone and he and the defensive back caught each
Speaker 1: other's feet. They got their feet tangled, so they're both
Speaker 1: falling backward to the ground, and Marcus Johnson catches the
Speaker 1: pass in this prone position. Great catch, falling backward. The
Speaker 1: defensive back whose name escapes me right now, hits the
Speaker 1: ground first and Marcus Johnson lands on top of him. Okay,
Speaker 1: and then because they're nearer the sideline, after he lands
Speaker 1: on top of the defensive back, he rolls out of bounds.
Speaker 1: And he lands out of bounds. He has caught the pass,
Speaker 1: so the question becomes he lands on top of the
Speaker 1: defensive back. It's not pass interference because their feet got tangled,
Speaker 1: so there's no penalty. But the question is he lands
Speaker 1: on top of the defensive back who appears to be
Speaker 1: fully inbounds. Okay, but the first time Marcus hits the ground,
Speaker 1: he's out of bounds. So I had a question. I said,
Speaker 1: is that a catch and a touchdown? Or is it
Speaker 1: an incomplete pass? I actually went to the NFL officials,
Speaker 1: the officiating office, and ask them that question, and they
Speaker 1: email me back immediately with a very definitive answer, touchdown
Speaker 1: or incomplete pass. Well, it's a touchdown, right because the
Speaker 1: player is an extension of the ground, so he lands
Speaker 1: on top of the player who is fully on the
Speaker 1: ground on the ground. Okay, so there you go. Ashley
Speaker 1: Farrell says it's an incomplete pass, and Ashley Farrell is correct. Interesting,
Speaker 1: it's correct because he did not complete the catch in bounds.
Speaker 1: The contact with the ground was out of bounds. That's
Speaker 1: where he completed the catch, and because of that, according
Speaker 1: to the officiating office, it is an incomplete pass. So
Speaker 1: landing on another human does not constitute being in bounce. Correct.
Speaker 1: All right, interesting note, but more you know, But Marcus
Speaker 1: Johnson has had a wonderful week. Looks like tier Tart
Speaker 1: is living up to the preseason bill from just what
Speaker 1: I've seen in contact so far as advertised is what
Speaker 1: it looks like to me. Yeah, I mean a lot
Speaker 1: of conversation about the work that he's done this offseason,
Speaker 1: and now I think he's seeing some of the benefits
Speaker 1: of that work. He seems to be getting a lot
Speaker 1: of recognition and praise from coaches, from teammates, and we're
Speaker 1: seeing him get a lot of reps. So all of
Speaker 1: that is exciting for him and hopefully he can keep going.
Speaker 1: Same for John Simon, the veteran ninth year outside linebacker
Speaker 1: who signed with the Titans last week, really has looked
Speaker 1: good at the outside linebacker position. Knows what Vrabel wants,
Speaker 1: knows what Shane Bowen wants in that defense, and even
Speaker 1: though bud Dupree has not started practice yet, although good
Speaker 1: reports on his progress as he comes back from the
Speaker 1: knee surgery last fall, having a veteran like John Simon
Speaker 1: in position to take a lead role until bud Dupree
Speaker 1: is ready opposite Harold Landry feels like a good thing.
Speaker 1: Derek Robertson back to practice, but he's gonna have to battle.
Speaker 1: You get a guy like Simon in there who knows
Speaker 1: what he's doing, does it right all the time, whether
Speaker 1: it's run or pass. That consistency is something that's you know,
Speaker 1: really valued by the coaches and a young player like
Speaker 1: Rashad Weaver the fourth round pick out a pit. If
Speaker 1: you're in that battle right now, you better be good
Speaker 1: every day at OLB right, consistency seems to be the
Speaker 1: number one thing for Mike Vrabel. He wants guys who
Speaker 1: he can rely on no matter what, to know what
Speaker 1: to do and do it fast, and having the veteran
Speaker 1: leadership component where he can help the young guys get
Speaker 1: to where they need to be and bring them up
Speaker 1: to speed so that they can be consistent on play
Speaker 1: after play. That seems to be a premium that the
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans coaches are looking for. My most consistent Titan
Speaker 1: to this point is Jeffrey Simmons. Yes, I agree. We
Speaker 1: would be wasting the ot people's time to sit and
Speaker 1: gush about Big Jeff because all he does is Big
Speaker 1: Jeff things every day every day. Yeah, I mean the guy.
Speaker 1: The guy is just I think he is on the
Speaker 1: brink of something really special because the knees no longer
Speaker 1: a problem he has experienced. He's got other helpers on
Speaker 1: the defensive line in Denico Autry and tier Tart Laurel Murchison,
Speaker 1: And I mean, he just keeps getting better and better,
Speaker 1: and it's he blew up a play yesterday, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: just because he was just there. Yeah. He's in such
Speaker 1: a great position right now because, as you mentioned, the
Speaker 1: pieces that are around him, he's able to continue to
Speaker 1: do Big Jeff things and he doesn't have to do
Speaker 1: some of other people's things. You know, he doesn't have
Speaker 1: to fill in those gaps because he's able to he
Speaker 1: can just focus on being Big Jeff and just wrecking things.
Speaker 1: And see on the OTP we can talk about the
Speaker 1: b j T Big Jeff things. BJT like that. We
Speaker 1: don't need any more acronyms. Mike turn to the folks
Speaker 1: who have been in the game since nineteen forty seven.
Speaker 1: Farm Bureau Health Plans offers the great healthcare coverage you
Speaker 1: need with a price tag you can afford. One thing
Speaker 1: that we do feature on the OTP is the OTP cues.
Speaker 1: Speaking of acronyms, we have a few and submit him
Speaker 1: all the time. We're not gonna do, as it stands
Speaker 1: right now, just an OTPQUES show because we're doing training
Speaker 1: camp shows and we want to talk about certain things
Speaker 1: that we're seeing in other topics, but we want to
Speaker 1: sprinkle in your questions and comments. So Amy Wells tell
Speaker 1: people how they could submit their ot EPQ Tennessee Titans
Speaker 1: dot Com slash o t p Q. Send them there,
Speaker 1: I will receive them. We will ask them on this show.
Speaker 1: What do you have? Well, we've got some good ones
Speaker 1: that I want to ask, but then we have a
Speaker 1: couple where I need to coach you through it a
Speaker 1: little bit. So we're gonna start Farm Bureau Health Plants
Speaker 1: can coach you through it. Well, there you go. See
Speaker 1: it's it's all a theme, Mike. So we're gonna start
Speaker 1: with this question from Adrian and it says, how yo Adrian?
Speaker 1: What Rocky Yo? Adrian? Rocky Balboa. I'm gonna say something
Speaker 1: that's gonna make you sad. His wife was Adrian never seen?
Speaker 1: Oh wow, you can no longer work here, Please get
Speaker 1: up and leave. I think I've seen Rocky. What's the
Speaker 1: one with the Russian man? That's Rocky four? I've seen
Speaker 1: Rocky fo Yeah, I've seen Yeah, I've seen that. If
Speaker 1: he dies, he dies, yeah, yeah, I haven't seen one
Speaker 1: through three and anything after don't see, don't see the
Speaker 1: fifth one because it's terrible, okay with Tommy Gunn okay, horrendous,
Speaker 1: but every other one is fantastic. How many are there?
Speaker 1: It's like a lamb before time. Well there's sixth total
Speaker 1: because the fifth one you don't want to see. But
Speaker 1: then they came back with Rocky Balboa, which was the
Speaker 1: great clothes that that should have been the final one.
Speaker 1: And then of course he's in the Creed movies. This
Speaker 1: is exhausting. This is a whole world to get into. Adrian. Oh,
Speaker 1: how many people do you think? By the way, last
Speaker 1: week went and watched The Crush after we talked about
Speaker 1: it on the OTP over the weekend. We always come
Speaker 1: out with the movie review. There you go go see
Speaker 1: all the Rockies, not five, don't see five, don't see
Speaker 1: Tommy Morrison not good? All right, OTP ques let's get
Speaker 1: back on track. Tommy Marrison's a nice guy though. This
Speaker 1: is Adrian. She's from Texas and she asked Texas, lamassa
Speaker 1: is that a place? YEA, All right, Adrian, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: We will get to your question. How hard do you
Speaker 1: think it will be for other teams to come up
Speaker 1: with a defensive game plan against the four horsemen, which
Speaker 1: is Bryan Tannehill, Derrick Henry, A. J. Brown, Julio Jones Hard.
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna have to make a choice, Amy,
Speaker 1: and that's the part of it. I'm certainly not the
Speaker 1: expert that Dave McGinnis is, but we've seen this in
Speaker 1: our history when it was Eddie George and Chris Johnson,
Speaker 1: and now with Derrick Henry. Is teams will immediately go
Speaker 1: at the Titans to stop the running back because they
Speaker 1: know if they can't stop the running back, it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter what else they do. Now, if you set your
Speaker 1: whole defense to stop Derrick Henry, you are putting yourself
Speaker 1: in some one on one situations on the outside. Because
Speaker 1: it's not just the four horsemen. It's Josh Reynolds, it's
Speaker 1: Anthony Ferkser, it's Darrenton Evans, who, by the way, has
Speaker 1: had another good week. There are other receivers that potentially
Speaker 1: can get into the act, other tight ends that can
Speaker 1: get into the act. So I think that's that's the
Speaker 1: biggest thing that the Titans have going for them. Now,
Speaker 1: please take this from the point of love, Okay, don't
Speaker 1: get real caught up in what the offense looks like
Speaker 1: in the preseason. Please don't, please don't say, oh, Todd
Speaker 1: Downing runs a boring offense, because A, I don't think
Speaker 1: you're gonna see many of those guys very much. You
Speaker 1: may see him some, but I don't. I don't think
Speaker 1: you're going to see him a whole lot. Secondly, they're
Speaker 1: not gonna show anything formationally, and so they're not gonna scheme.
Speaker 1: They're gonna get out there and they're gonna run plays.
Speaker 1: And the reason that they're going to do that is
Speaker 1: to give Evans plays at tailback, to give Marcus Johnson
Speaker 1: plays at wide receiver, to give Chester Rogers plays at
Speaker 1: wide receiver, Des Fitzpatrick, Racy McMath. You know all of
Speaker 1: those guys, Nick Westbrook, Akina, Tommy Hudson's it's probably not
Speaker 1: gonna be dramatically sexy in terms of all the running
Speaker 1: and jumping in the formations and things like that. So
Speaker 1: kind of hang on to your viewpoint. But to answer
Speaker 1: your question, towards September twelfth against Arizona, I think that's
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough decision for Arizona. I agree, Mike.
Speaker 1: Here is another otp Q from Pearson. He's from Clarksville, Tennessee.
Speaker 1: I know how to say that. He says, from what
Speaker 1: we have seen of Racy McMath in training camp, is
Speaker 1: there a possibility that he could assume more of a
Speaker 1: tight end role for the Titans. It's a great question.
Speaker 1: And do you know that I actually asked that question
Speaker 1: of Mike de Tilier when the Titans drafted him. Mike
Speaker 1: D is in Louisiana. He is best friends with Edozeron.
Speaker 1: They grew up together, and so nobody knows more about
Speaker 1: LSU football on the outside than Mike D and so
Speaker 1: I asked him that very question. Could you add weight
Speaker 1: to this player and have him be a tight end? Eventually,
Speaker 1: he said absolutely not. He said he's a wide receiver,
Speaker 1: and in watching him while, I think he will continue
Speaker 1: to develop and grow and he might gain some weight
Speaker 1: naturally just as he gets a little bit older. No,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think the tight end the
Speaker 1: Titans are going to use as a wide receiver will
Speaker 1: be Firk Sir. So if Racy plays wide out this year,
Speaker 1: and I think it's going to be hard for him
Speaker 1: to crack the rotation based on what the Titans have
Speaker 1: barring injury of course, and knocking on wood. What I'm
Speaker 1: excited about with Racy is he's with big receivers who
Speaker 1: know how to do it, so he's going to learn
Speaker 1: a lot of tricks from the guys that he's playing with.
Speaker 1: Great thing. The other thing, too, is I compare him
Speaker 1: to a Moni hooker, And what I mean by that
Speaker 1: is he's a player that is probably going to get
Speaker 1: a year or two to develop. He'll probably play some
Speaker 1: special teams, he may play situation, he may get in games,
Speaker 1: you know a little bit. But he's got that upside
Speaker 1: and I think he's going to have time to explore
Speaker 1: that upside. People are really excited about him, and I
Speaker 1: get it, but kind of slow your role just a
Speaker 1: little bit and give him some time. I you know,
Speaker 1: if if he ends up Rookie of the Year, that'd
Speaker 1: be great, but I don't think he's probably destined for
Speaker 1: a role that would give him that at least right now.
Speaker 1: That may change. Yeah, I think that. I like the
Speaker 1: fact that he's got time to develop. That excites me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think you're right on that. Mike. I haven't,
Speaker 1: I know, I don't. I don't say two. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: have another one here. This is from my friend Clifton.
Speaker 1: Clifton and I need you to hang with me. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is a statement sort of, so he wants to
Speaker 1: know if he's on the right track here with this.
Speaker 1: He's hearing a lot on who benefits most from us
Speaker 1: getting Julio? Okay, with one man, can he get us
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl? This is what Clifton thinks. Okay,
Speaker 1: he makes every person better offense and defense because on
Speaker 1: offense with him now they have to respect all receivers,
Speaker 1: not load the box, which is easier on the line
Speaker 1: and opens up more for Tanny to bust them up.
Speaker 1: Bust them up. Adrian defense will more than likely have
Speaker 1: less time on the field that keeps them fresh. Tutta,
Speaker 1: what do you think? I think he's dead on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think And you know, that's what coach Mack said.
Speaker 1: Coach Mack felt like when we asked him right after
Speaker 1: Julio came in. Dave McGinnis said, the offensive line is
Speaker 1: the one who benefits because it backs people off, and
Speaker 1: that benefits Henry, that benefits Tanny Hill. I think he's right,
Speaker 1: and it affects the defense too because and if you
Speaker 1: can go score, I mean, this team didn't play defense
Speaker 1: very well last year and still won eleven games because
Speaker 1: the offense could score, right, you know, the whole the
Speaker 1: whole thing is if this defense can take the opponent's
Speaker 1: third down percentage, which was over fifty percent conversions last year,
Speaker 1: first team in NFL history to make the playoffs allowing
Speaker 1: over fifty percent opponent third down conversions. If that number
Speaker 1: drops below forty, if it's thirty nine percent, this team's
Speaker 1: gonna be really good. That is a That is a
Speaker 1: big stat, all things being equal, if that number drops
Speaker 1: under forty. Now, it'd be great if it was thirty
Speaker 1: five or thirty or even little, but I'm just saying
Speaker 1: under forty, then that means you're getting the ball back
Speaker 1: for the offense more and more quickly. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that's dead on Julio Jones. Trading for him help
Speaker 1: this entire football team. It helped Racy McMath. It's a
Speaker 1: confidence boost overall. And when he went down the other
Speaker 1: day in practice, two defensive backs are running over to
Speaker 1: help him up because they get that he's a big
Speaker 1: part of what we want to do and they get
Speaker 1: who he is. You know that that this is a
Speaker 1: guy who's going to the Hall of Fame someday. There's
Speaker 1: so much respect for him on this ball club. There's
Speaker 1: so much excitement even within the walls about him. That's
Speaker 1: a it's a big deal. The thing that makes Mike
Speaker 1: Keith so great at what he does is he gave
Speaker 1: a very serious answer to a question that ended in tada,
Speaker 1: like that was the end of it, ta tada, And
Speaker 1: you gave a real answer to that, and I think
Speaker 1: that's a great I have one more because I want
Speaker 1: to coach up my friend Namesh a little bit. Because
Speaker 1: Namesh sent a question sort of. All he said was OTP,
Speaker 1: which I really oh he submitted, submitted otp at otp
Speaker 1: q thattp. It just said, and I really appreciate it.
Speaker 1: And I'm there with you a Namesh. I want to
Speaker 1: give you another chance because what I'm gonna need is
Speaker 1: a question or even a statement or heck a tadah.
Speaker 1: We really like all of those things. I'm gonna need
Speaker 1: a little bit more. But do you think do you
Speaker 1: think he's like my dad? And he sent it before
Speaker 1: he had finished actually got it in right, very possible,
Speaker 1: which is why I want to give another shot. Come
Speaker 1: because my dad will just send words and he will
Speaker 1: not realize that then he sent it already, and then
Speaker 1: he doesn't send the rest of it right, and it
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. That is why this is my
Speaker 1: call to namesh give us the question. Try again. You
Speaker 1: were close. You got your words in the right spot.
Speaker 1: If yeah, I mean we got something in the form,
Speaker 1: we got sent to the right person. You're one percent there.
Speaker 1: Do it again, get the full question right. I'm glad
Speaker 1: he wasn't like submitting a draft pick on draft night though,
Speaker 1: me too. It's like and the Tennessee Titans select linebacker.
Speaker 1: But that's okay. No, we're shouting out. We're shouting out
Speaker 1: because we love you. I want that's what we're doing
Speaker 1: because we want you to come back. We want you
Speaker 1: to be the comeback OTP Q of the year. I
Speaker 1: want to know what the question wants because with that
Speaker 1: much effort, there was something there and I want to
Speaker 1: know what it is. So this is my public cry,
