Settle in and get comfortable for the "Rattler Hour" as the gang dives deeper into the Saints 5th round pick at #150 selecting Spencer Rattler, the quarterback from South Carolina, and what he will bring to the future of this Saints team in a possible post-Carr era, how a TV show covering Rattler in his high school years showed him in pretty unfavorable light which possibly led to him falling to 5th round for the Saints, but his former coach, Shane Beamer, speaks highly of Rattler, his growth in character, ability on the field, and his future for the Black & Gold and we take a crack at the LSU players that were drafted and picked up as UDFAs as the Jacksonville Jaguars seemed to take a serious liking to the 2023 LSU Tigers.

Also we hear from Khristian Boyd, Northern Iowa defensive tackle, who is a man on a mission in the trenches, going against "grown-ass men" as he calls them, and the Pelicans on the edge of falling devastatingly to OKC at home, does this lackluster playoff performance mean huge changes are coming for the Pels and the 7th round is finally starting up with the Saints having only 1 pick in this final round!
