Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble abode the thunder down on this feel good Friday May. 2026 this was program begins. Sports are the greatest were so incredibly lucky that we get a chance to chat about every single day we hope you have had a fantastic week and I hope you're ready for the greatest weekend of your life why because it's the next one let's go ahead and enjoy the hell out of it sports are going to deliver for us all weekend just like they have all week we have a couple recaps of the things that we like this week and the things that we thought were hilarious this week while so chitchat about things that happened last night in sports world just know this. These cany acts. A little bit of a run right now the NHL feels like there might be a Carolina. Colorado collision coming for the cup in just a matter of weeks hurricanes beat the flyers 4 to 1 they have now won 7 straight to start this particular playoff to special story in a special town with a special fan base that's excited to maybe lose their mind at a Stanley Cup dream. Now how would all boat we shall see the Buffalo Sabres obviously have some things to say about that same with the Canadians and in the West it feels like the avalanche are for real but if you look at this hurricane steam. You think to yourself well they certainly got the talent they certainly got the run they have to greatness to have the toughness to they have to the togetherness. Well let's just go to the end of the game shall we let's go ahead and just see for one here times running out it's hockey though OK up there up on the board there about the middle of the screen there maybe a little bit to the right as thank you for these 5 foot 8 guys by 30 year playing for the hurricanes he led to Carolina. Hurricanes in points in the first round of playoff number 55. Big Ross was with the line and 6 foot 4 to a 5 gun shoot him and seller gives in a no we're fighting actually so thank you for just standing there and 6 for 5 guy comes over boom hits him and seller guy grabs him. You know you're actually with fight yeah you think you're going to win for one and that's going to happen now let's look to the left here. OK let's look to the left over here you have Shane Gosta she's got his beer Gosta spirit who played for the flyers for a long time OK now he's tangling up with big 55 OK big 55 because he just got into it he had to grab somebody so seller picked up his fight they start fighting on the left side this guy say we're done we're good everybody's good sellers trying to get some shots back thank ovens like you know what you could just buy me like this and then we got a Jakes snake the. At the very end it's a my stop. They saw just talking about OK. All buddy. Dostos beer came in stuck up for his teammate yeah. Stank oven 5 foot 8 K getting body there by 6 foot 4 guy and then passed off the seller who jumps in and forces him to fight you saw at the very end of that stank ovens throwing mm-hmm left at the end we got Jake the snake Roberts DDT what's happening feels like the canes. Yeah the wires are big strong tough bull teams. It's a physical team the hurricanes I think they're talented and obviously these boys are a brawl I think that's why I saw after the as the game was ending and anytime you get a chance to see one of these in real life you know that. Who could be dead. So we have no idea what the state of Ross moose and is after his head obviously bounce off the ice there but I like the hurricanes a lot I like the NHL then in the NBA. Stands continue to do what the stones are doing the stones the pistons and we learned that it's mostly the whites up there in Michigan. It makes a lot of sense from areas that aren't necessarily Detroit on the Internet but the stones and the Detroit Pistons win again story that one James Harden's not good at basketball and what's the deal was Kendrick Perkins here in a matter of moments I'm sure he's going to have a lot of thoughts on that and then last night also big story. The brawn in the Lakers getting screwed by the refs what it's it's rigged against the Los Angeles Lakers. And LeBron James for Oklahoma City big city OK see Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James it's rigged against them. For the Oklahoma City Thunder now if this was to be rigged in that fashion I'd like to say that I'm silver. Congratulations on like rigging something for a small time that's good for sports first time ever that's good for sports. And the Oklahoma City people deserve it. We've seen them show up in a massive way. Obviously there's like a 30 for 30 about how great they are as a fan base and the Pacers fans and the Oklahoma City fans got a chance to really experience a great run there in the finals last year. But if they were rigging this for the Oklahoma City Thunder that would be awesome just like that never happened seemingly to the small towns and the small fan bases and everything like that. But it certainly does look like it's Oklahoma City team every time they play there's a question on what's going on with the refs. Yeah. And it's not just fans saying this. And now it's actual coaches and players coming out being like hey this is what it is. They're cutting back clips of people and they're having lip readers say this shit is rigged whenever they're playing against the Oklahoma City team. Are they better at getting fouls than everybody else. Are they better at embellishing it or did a refs like the small town story just naturally and all of a sudden they're starting to give it up for these guys. Well as Perkins about it all it is a hot conversation in the streets. Speaking of hot conversation in the streets. Congratulations Skip Bayless and Steve and a wow. Memory Lane talks to tables here at Boston Connor and one half of the hammer. Cowboys AP town. We watch that we turn it on. It was appointment television shout out to both of them kind of going in there. It was a nice tell of tape there like the last 16 years a lot of people have been trying to kind of emulate either Stephen a or skip Bayless or both of them at the same time. A lot of shows a lot of sports media personalities and obviously whenever to master debaters master debate against each other rate in each other's faces. Yeah you know you can get some really magical moments in there. They certainly created a lot of those throughout the times. There's a lot of people chasing those. I think there have become great debaters in sports television that aren't named Stephen a and skip. But I think those two are so good at what they did back in the day in 2012 14 years ago that everybody else thought that was the only way to do sports television. So getting them back in the same room earlier. That was a good time. A great time. Skip Bayless through some heat. Los Angeles. Fakers. Got him. Yeah. And they'll smoke you with pot. Yeah. Points off turnover. I believe he also said playoff P. But he's spelled it P. E. E. Oh. It was good to S. E. E. Those two on my. It was good to see that because I forgot it. I was taking notes the entire time. So be prepared for a good show. Yeah. Be prepared for a good show. It was fun man. Good for them. Hey congratulations you too old legends man. Good run. You guys did it. Change the entire course of sports media television and doing so obviously. I think both lived great lives. I think for my understanding and also influence sports. So good for them. I hope they had a great time and hope the catching up was fun too. You know anytime you don't really talk to somebody and maybe there's potential fallout or anything animosity. Nice for them to catch up in fun. Good for sport joining us now live from an attic in Ohio is a man who's a college football national champion. Super Bowl champion. I'm surprised we got him this early. Yeah. I thought he'd be scrolling those files that were just released. Probably already. Ladies and gentlemen. Hey Jay Hawks. Standing those alien files. Yeah I mean has anything new come out. Have you checked him out and not like in depth. I haven't seen anything new. So what I found my because I've been eagerly awaiting this day for a long time. I think everybody that knows me knows that this is probably the one thing I've been thinking about you know from the beginning and openly talking about just wondering as somebody that did a lot of moon watching you know somebody didn't fall asleep much was just looking up just always wondered and obviously certainly had an open mind and then you hear some people talking it's like OK let's go let's go ahead and do this and then to think what we're alone in this whole thing would be crazy. It'd be crazy just with it with how big it is. But if we weren't alone that would obviously have to change a lot of opinions and thoughts and religions potentially and you know everything in the world. So such a hot such an awesome topic. I think just kind of visualize from all different angles and then you run into somebody and they're like I saw you. It's all I get a chance to talk to you. I think it's like why would you lie to me. I don't know why you would lie to me. Yeah. Feels like you have a pretty important title. You're not a complete whack job. And then you know the Internet kind of does what the Internet does. And now you don't know what's fake and what is real. And then they put out this entire UAP on I dare on identified aerial phenomenon files out. It's like OK what's real in it. What now. Who's going to go. Joe Rogan's going through who's going to tell me what is real. What's inside those craft. What's inside the craft that we see on the video what that's what I want to see. Show me what's inside. Yeah what if what if we get a look inside and actually just like it's been right in front of our faces. There's 45 when these just in a bunch of these things. Yeah just kind of wait to come down and just do whatever what if he is an actual his symbol is an alien. We've been watching him. He has to be guys hanging with monks and Kevin Garnett. And the same. His logo is an alien head. What if in these files inside one of these things that they're showing us floating around in the United Arab Emirates over there by the nuclear facilities all that type of stuff. What if inside is just a bunch of little baby little little Wembe's and there is training her hands training her feet doing all that. And then they grow what if the other one is just a bunch of little Elon Musk's. Yeah we're never going to know. Well we're never going to know unless who tells us. I have a good idea. Who's the guy from Blink one eight two Tom DeLong Tom DeLong. We need Tom DeLong to get in there and tell us if Wembe is a part of these files please sir. If I was are too. And he does that in there. If I were President Trump on June or July whenever it is I would trot to these things out for the UFC and coal main event at the White House. Yes. Maybe they've already been trained that would break everything. Yeah maybe that's what this is all lead up to. Somebody has to go through those files but also somebody needs to talk about sports and how the aliens will affect sport and we will always be the ones to do that. Right. A. J. Haven't we been pretty clear about this. Yeah from the jump we've always said we'll be that show. And if I will say if these aliens start to think they're tough remember ain't none of them to be any of us in an Oklahoma drill. No way. So if we need to alpha these things look at their baby little necks come on now. Snap them. Could you imagine with your Cobra. Seven inches around. Oh yeah head and hands all day long on those guys. And I think about just like especially you with the way you were built like think about the leverage will have on these things whether they're little tiny things or if they grow into their full size. Yeah they don't fucking get gravity coming from a place that doesn't have a wrong or what. They can't set an edge. No way. Good luck. And I had an affliction shirt. I could arm bar one of these things I had to one point. So cold. Right. H. Yeah. I mean I cannot wait to see the first time that we have an encounter with the true alien and someone like Brock Lesnar chokes them out. Yes. That's what I'm saying. That's what we have representatives. I think that we can send out there that will protect us. Now if something is false tells us we need to be worried a little about we'd like to know somebody needs to go through these things. OK. Somebody needs to let me know what I need to know. Now that's part of the problem. Yeah exactly. That's part of because now who's gate keeping information is going to be hot. It's a lot of issues here. All right. I'm reading them this weekend. Here we go. OK. Joining us now ladies and gentlemen is a man who I mean hell he probably knows more than we do about this entire thing because it feels like his league that he played in for 15 years filled with aliens. Yeah. All over the place. Yeah. Who knows. Straight out of high school. This guy big big boy NBA champ. This guy ESPN basketball pundit all day every day during the NBA. Ladies and gentlemen Big Park. Big Park. I don't know what up. What up. What up. Anything about the UFO files. You think any what if one be actually did pop out of one of those things and they got a file out of that thing. We don't know. I'm trying to I'm trying to I was just listening. I got to catch up on all this. You know me. I'm telling the vision right now. Nothing in the outside world matters to me. I love that. That's actually outside world. Yeah. Yeah. Respect. Unless we're in our oceans inside of us which is also part of the conversation which you could you'll dive into if you were to catch up. It's going to take a while. I think you should wait till after the playoffs. Let's talk about the playoffs. Oklahoma City team cheats. Oklahoma City team just cheats all the time. The refs the refs are rigging these games for them to win to get more fouls. And last night it did feel as if it was a showcase of being pissed off about the refs from the Lakers. Now JJ Redick former player former fiery player. I think him being a head coach certainly doesn't help the fact that you know he probably operates a little bit differently with the refs and maybe some other head coaches would come up through the coaching ranks in a different fashion. I think he's a little bit more comfortable with knowing who they are. But it was certainly a display of you guys are asked and then Austin Reeves afterwards they circle these refs don't let them leave here and say hey we got more to say to you actually before you get out of here. This felt like yeah this felt like a really big deal to me. Perk how did you view it all and why is this always the conversation around these Oklahoma City Thunder teams. Well number one let me say this. I love when JJ throws those temper tantrums on the sideline. Those are the classic moments that we could bring up a top 10 of JJ Rants in his temper tantrum moments that would be great. OK that's number one number 2. We have a problem. We have a serious problem right now in that game last night highlighted. You know I believe that Adam you know I love Adam Silver. I think he's the best commissioner in sports. I love that you know he's a man of the people and with that being said he's going to have to listen to the people. They have a lot of upset fans that are on the Internet that were watching the game that didn't like the way that that game was called last night and I'm going to be honest with you. I didn't like it either. Matter of fact I hated it every single moment of it. It was nothing but complaining. It was a lot of flopping going on. It was a lot of no calls. And here's the thing right when you get players and this has been a trend throughout the postseason calling out officiating. You have to address it and it's not just addressing the players with fines. That's one thing but the officials got to have some level of accountability and also you don't want to get to the point where fans are sitting up here talking about the game is read because we do have to take in mind that was one of the biggest you know yeah things that make the biggest money makers out there. Yeah betting sports betting. So we don't want to start messing and and having fans thinking that it's something going on with the integrity of the game. So you got to clean up this flopping nonsense. You have to clean it up. Last night I thought it was extremely bad. I thought OKC all across the board. This was one of the worst moments in my opinion. You know how I feel about OKC. You know how I feel about shape. But damn it. I got to call it like I see it. This facts over fill carry on Kendrick Perkins carry on how long do you think it takes to change that type of basketball if it means anything because I remember there was a time not too long ago where the flopping was outrageous. I think I think he got really really bad and I always point back to like watching James Harden. That's like kind of my first thoughts of it because of how good he was at all and then it kind of exploded. It felt like then we played like an international tournament. Yeah we got our asses kicked. It was a fee by thing I think where they weren't calling stuff and we just like daughter asking then it felt like the game changed a little bit back to a more physical style with the less theatrics is that an accurate depiction over the last few years and how do you stop it. How legitimately how does how long does it take to kind of stop. Well you you got to get back to enforcing the rule of finding guys for flopping because let's be real. Let's call it. Let's call it how it is. Marcus Smart LeBron James SGA Luke Dorth at some moments even check last night. All of those guys then had moments of flopping. And so to me when you talk about how do you try to fix it. The only way to fix it is for the NBA to do more work meaning that hey man we got to get back to finding guys and put something in place for flopping. We used to have that they kind of went away from that a lot over the what last 3 4 years but when you get back to that moment of you're going to find guys flopping then you clean up the game. I'm a old school type guy I want to see physicality. Yeah you know I want to see guys get it get it in the mud get it in the trenches earn not give it right. So again again the only way to clean it up is that the league is going to have to do more work meaning that they're going to have to take a deeper dive into this put the fines back in place for flopping and I think it will work. Yeah, we heard JJ after the game talk about LeBron being you know so big and physical he may be penalized at times because he is so big and he did mention some younger guy or smaller guys I should say have theatrics at times on the court do you think LeBron is that a situation like is that real because he is so big and dominant he may not get the thousand should. Well, no, you know what you know LeBron is experiencing. He's experiencing you know the the the old the old guy right and when I say the old guy I play with a lot of Hall of Famers I play with you know Paul Pierce Ray Allen KG and I started to see the same trend with them when they was on they way out the lead like as you tend to get older you know in those you know 16 to 20 years played in the NBA you don't start to get those you don't get those calls you used to get when you was in your prime that's just part of it KG used to be mad Paul Pierce used to be mad and they used to say me all these young guys getting it we see we see it yeah and if you go and look at the history of the game as guys got older they wasn't getting those quote unquote superstar calls that they used to get when they was in a you know late 20s early 30s that's just part of it's part of the process. So it's part of the league say hey so you're leaving them or kid. Yeah. Watch what it's like the 6th guy. Yeah and you're out of here. That's what this is like all of a sudden LeBron we appreciate your service to the league though. Keep going. And on that note you're getting shit. Yeah. You're currently nobody else in the team is when Luca gets back Luca will get calls. You just need that hamstring or whatever to heal as quickly as possible. Okay let's stay in the old man conversation shall we James Harden. Okay everybody says what they're saying. I love Joe. I love James Harden. I love you too. Okay I don't know him personally I only know him from outside looking in from his life every moment that he has basically that is documented in gone viral I've seen and appreciate everything from being in a sprinter van with the Christmas gifts or the gifts whenever they said he was 400 pounds to everything with you know him in France at the fashion show his lady get in the bouquet of flowers at the wedding. Every yeah it's yeah everything about okay. They're throwing a lot of numbers at me saying he's ass in playoffs like people are throwing a lot of numbers in me right now super stats people are telling me that this guy sucks in a playoffs and I don't like it because I'd like to see James Harden go crazy what's that well and just just to clarify on that stat. Okay Bob Coosie was basically the only one shooting the ball for the Celtics are it's a look at well. Well hold on. Towards him okay. Okay and before we get to James Harden I guess we should talk about how sometimes there are some ricochet shots that do get taken whenever stats are getting dropped. Yeah. Perk has it has the week been have you been okay. Your name's getting thrown. Wasn't there that conversation. You don't even have a microphone in front of you at the time. That's what I'm saying. I'm catching strays and I'm like okay cool whatever man you know I mean I'm glad you know what. I'm glad I'm on a mind I'm living rent free that's all I could say. Well certainly in the history books and it should be that way forever with you but let's get back to James Harden they're throwing a lot of numbers at me telling me he's ass in the playoffs why is that is it because like defenses are preparing for him maybe that it like why do you think he does see the downfall a little bit in the playoff time as opposed to regular season and stuns is this team the pistons are they stop up with this point with figuring out how to play basically again. So let me say this you have guys that are built for 82 games and you have guys that are built for 16 games for the post season in the post season is going to expose those guys who heart pumps Kool-Aid and who hearts pump blood and right now with James Harden is hard to pump Kool-Aid and look it's not it's not really a knock on him. I think James Harden is past his prime the person that I'm pissed off at the most is Kenny Ackerson because my thing is at this point why are you not putting the team first and when I say putting the team first if James Harden has been horrible over I think what the last four or five games straight he's been horrible with his turnovers and everything defensively all at some point you have to make a business decision and do what's best for the team at some point you have to take him out of the starting lineup and put in one of those dogs that you have on the bench whether that's Dennis Shroeder Tyson Ellis Max Truths like you can you can't continue to do a diss service to the ballclub because you're saying and this is his quotes after the game. I take full blame for it because I didn't get my future Hall of Fame up my Hall of Fame enough shots. Meaning James Harden in the fourth quarter and I'm sitting up there saying myself Kenny you and I must be watching two different games because it wasn't about James Harden being able to get shots in the fourth quarter. It's about him being a defensive liability. It's about him turning the ball over and these are careless third four grade turnovers. This is not like his fourth turnovers. These are careless turnovers turnovers that that you look and you say well what the hell was that so again you're down oh too you know that physicality matters. You see that the others outside the K cutting have to buy his hairs. He has been having in his damn way since this series started Jenkins is coming alive. Duncan Robinson is flat out balling and not just a shooter by the way. Dr. Robinson is a damn good basketball player. Let me state that right now. So you see that happening but you steady riding with James Harden and I'm sitting up here saying we got secrets on your ass or something. She put his ass on the bed. Okay. I understand what you're saying because he's obviously not performing to the level that the team deserves or he should be playing at. But do we know if he can still go for like 35 40 at this stage because obviously he was with the clip for a while. Right. The Rockets and then there was the net sixers and that's yeah. Yeah. So like I feel like we have followed along with James Harden and I always just expect James Harden to do James Harden stuff. I think I saw him the other night go off a little bit but it's like are we expecting him to go for like 31 night out of nowhere. No. No but we're not expecting him to turn over the down basketball at the rate that he's turning it over. Look he's not the first option on his team. He's not the second option on his team and a lot of times he might not even be the third option. I understand that. I'm not sitting up here saying that he should be a focal point or expect him to go for those type of numbers. What I'm telling you is is Pat he's been more of a liability than he is being like then he is a help and at some point Kenny Atkinson has to make that decision and say I'm not saying bench him. I'm saying hey man he needs to be playing limited vendors off the bench as a roll guy as a bench player not not starters minutes and I'm gonna say this too. I'd be damn if we're going to end this conversation and I'm going to let Evan Mowley off the hook. I'd be damn like former defensive player the year you finish the game you finish the game with one rebound in the series that you know you got to come with a certain level of physicality can have it unacceptable and look I don't want to hear. I know it's been a lot of complaints he needs to get the ball more he needs to get more shot attempts but it's not all about scoring when you can impact the game when be had showed us that when we put on one of the greatest performances defensively that we've seen probably in our lifetime so every mobile is of the ways to impact the damn game now is own coach at this and to get you to down ball in position where you need to score but finish the game with one rebound I could go get two rebounds right now. Well that was that because you got Dennis Robin eyes it's going here but I would stay on I would stay on one side of the floor sure I said I'm running up and down but I know when they come down I'll be able to get to rebounds and you're guessing what side person is going to miss to is that also is that a big part of this year you're going to let a couple go there on the other side of the rim right here you just hope it's about when you in the trenches this is about elbows positioning and who wanted the most like you got to be a mentality and that said the one with that type of letters is a miss unacceptable for him to have one rebound coming in the playoff game. Get your base down there. We need elbows out when a jabbing we need to borrow we need a little bit of this box out we need to we need to read on the ball. Oh it's in flight that short. Let me go ahead. Oh that was going on. Boom dive. Let's go. Let's get some let's do it. No, Lee come on. Sick of my God James Harden's getting murdered right now. Deserve it. Bad. No, Lee needs to we'll be more of this. Agreed. The whole team. He's the most important player. There's a video of the next one fighting over screens and other other teammates not being happy about it on the defensive side. There was just a full hard disgusting. I didn't like that either. Mark. I mean a listen one day done of a Mitchell talking about what he said is no pressure or nothing like that. He don't feel pressure you need to and if I'm his teammate if I'm his teammate I don't want to hear that I don't want to hear that because then it shows signs to me that you don't care you should want to embrace the pressure because pressure comes with you having to perform and if you do your damn job and play at an all NBA level consistently that means you're going to get wins and I came into this season into this playoffs and these playoffs saying that the cows were under the most pressure and coming into the playoffs. Donovan Mitchell was under the most pressure as any other player in the NBA coming into this postseason. A Donovan Mitchell lead team has never been to a conference finals. A Donovan Mitchell lead team has never been to a conference finals. That is a bad indictment on him and he has to get it done with the East Bend as wide open as it is. You look on paper and I might say this is no disrespect to the number one Detroit bad boys the business what they call themselves the nasty boys. But if you look on paper and you say just going off who by name who has the most talent you will say it favors the calves but when they get between the lines I see otherwise. All right so you think that Donovan Mitchell should take his team this year to a conference championship and maybe even a finals this year. If he don't it's another failed season and it's another huge disappointment. I understand I understand hey that's the pressure that I think he is a nameless faceless opponent guy. I think that's why he says a everything's the same. I think that might be that I don't feel pressure because you know every day is the same every game is the same. That's how he performs. I don't think you like that just by the look of your I don't I don't bet I don't bet I want a guy that that embraced that like I want a guy that won't that like you know I'm saying yeah like it's supposed to be let me tell you something when you're trying to win a championship and you're trying to make a deep one in the postseason that may you post to have a lot of sleepless nights. You supposed to be stressed out. You supposed to be angry. You supposed to not want to deal with the outside world. It's a lot of stuff comes with we're trying to win a championship that when you finish it's a reason why you see guys falling to their knees crying popping the bottles of champagne because it's a grind it's a process. The only thing that matters is the guys in the locker room it's a mentality. You got to have that dog mentality you got to want it. Let's go. I just I don't want to run through a wall for Kendrick Perkins. Hell yeah. I want that he's a you want it either look it got it got to be in you not only hell yeah. And some say you're born true with it either in or on. You know that's what they say but I've met a couple of the nameless faces opponent people who are super hippie that have become killers but usually everybody that's a killer. Is exactly who you think they are and they go is that right there what you just said you know Peyton Manning still is a psycho and guys an absolute psychopath. It is in a good way. These are good things. Nelly Corta who might go down as the best LPGA golfer she said the other day on the psycho you know you watch the last dance with Michael Jordan psycho LeBron James is 41 psycho Wayne Gretzky psycho Serena Williams psycho Tiger psycho that that is kind of what this is in the most positive way but they are crazy in the competitive sense that is that is the psycho sis that I am diagnosis seeing them with I think is the proper way to describe that but it is a little what you just described there I would like my daughter and future baby boy listen to a hey this is this what you need to be the greatest of all time can spite of get it done we shall see let's go to the West the guy that has all those things it feels like a con man. Yeah perky's talking about when be and also possibly and it feels like the Minnesota and Spurs kind of combination of the two are that exact thing and they both want that moment want that pressure. What do you think about the series now you said of Minnesota one game to then they would probably sweep they didn't Spurs get it done is this probably head into 7 we got game 3 tonight. What do you expecting and do you think the Spurs kind of go on the road make another statement or do you see a big bounce back for Ant-Man in the Wolves. Well look I believe we're in for a brawl for it all I think this series is going to go 7 games and the most important thing that I took that took away the biggest takeaway that I had from that game was they started talking noise they started you know they start getting in the trenches and mixing it up a little bit like you know that's the energy you want to see coach Finch said they got pumped and then all of a sudden you hear Anthony Elwood saying a man listen we came out cool they did what they were supposed to do you know basically they kick what they kick their ass right they kick their ass but I'm going to tell you this is going to be crazy in that arena in Minnesota tonight is going to be rockin enough it's going to be they have done an outstanding job of establishing a dangerous place to play in and I believe right now this is going to be the most exciting one of the most physical series that we're going to see it's a lot of games and a lot of basketball left to be played and this is going to be one of them because I know when we hate losing and we saw his spirit when he bounced back and game two but you know who else have a hatred for losing Anthony Edwards and I need listen I'm looking at Julius Randall if Julius Randall has to come with it if I'm Julius Randall let me tell you how I'm wired if I'm Julius Randall I'm watching all the next games and every time I see call Anthony Towns go out there and have a great game damn and I get jealous and I need to go and I'll do him I need to go and I'll do him because that's who I got traded for and I see him over there making the difference damn and I got to be the difference make over here that's how I'm why and it's okay to be jealous sometimes you know I'm saying it's okay to be jealous it's okay to envy some people when you're trying to get what they got I actually enjoyed it. Hey, I just got a stat drop to my ear Randall led the team in scoring and they got the job done. Yeah, so if he's able to do it again, maybe they go crazy and I like the fact that you're like hey, I'm gonna be judged off of this trade on how he does versus how I do you see him get one. I need to go get a couple out here. I love the Minnesota team. I love the timber wagon. I also enjoy the thought of Wemby going into that atmosphere. Oh, yeah. Because I think he will really is not faked by this exactly relish it. I think he'll relish that entire thing like and the only wish here is that I could get this into the YouTube TV for box. Yeah. Okay last night. Yeah. hockey is on everything else prime is by itself got two games over there. This is certainly something their coverage is great. I'm not knocking the coverage. I appreciate the fact that prime is getting into sports and all that but it's hard to you know whenever we got to playoff series is going on same time obviously gonna be difficult. We got two big ones tonight on prime. Perk let's have you pick these games sixers favored by one and a half before you give that tone as a question for you. Yeah, Perk a couple questions about this series obviously OG with the hamstring is huge. What what do you think that does to the Knicks and especially on the defense side of the ball and then am I crazy when I was watching game two and indeed was out. Does it feel like the Sixers offense kind of flows better when he's not on the floor or am I just crazy watching that you're not crazy what one you're not crazy. I'm gonna answer this one first. You're not crazy. It does flow better the first second and third quarter but you know the 76ers lost their game in the fourth quarter because they couldn't make no shots. Yeah because Tyrese Maxey he was exhausted. Paul George was exhausted right and so when you think about what M.B. brings to the table he brings that balance that when your outside shots are not falling he's gonna put in the plot so much pressure on your defense that one he's either gonna get the bucket in the low post make the 15 footer or he's gonna get to the free throw line because he's one of the most skilled big step of a play the game. He's unstoppable. Now when you talk about OG and a Nobby what could argue that he is the most important player in the NBA for us to his team success with he his impact for what he brings offensively and defensively I've been calling them this for about two years. He is our new era of Scotty Pitman and if I'm if I'm the next I don't even think about playing him games three and game four. I wait to see what happens because I wait to see what happens and then you know if it's in the must type win I'm bringing them back for game five the game three and game four especially with his history of hamstring injuries. I'm not rushing this and I'm not speeding it up. You're up to oh and on top of this you know Jalen Brunson is averaging about 36 to 37 points in Philly in the postseason. I know he really you know I know he that's his second home because his Villanova days but damn he's averaging 36 to 37 points in Philly. Yeah he's right now in this over the past two seasons so he's very comfortable going into that arena. Yeah so you got to expect that big body Brunson and Carl Anthony Towns even without OG they could go in there still one. I don't believe they get game three. I think Philly gets that one but I think they got enough to steal one and that would probably be game four. OK so I appreciate you saying he's the most important player to his team. OK and then saying they still could win one without him when we got a WEMB existing out here. OK. What do you know what I mean like. Yeah. I know what you're meant. But we put but we put up we pulled up some numbers yesterday. I don't have the graphic on NBA today. We could to look at it show it showed his impact on both ends of the floor. Like some you know some real nerdy numbers you know I'm saying but it caught my and they showed his impact on you know what he brings offensively and defensive. I want you to think about this for a second is no not to WEMB. No no we're complimenting both guys. Yeah so I want you to think in game two in the second half Mike Brown chose to go with a small ball lineup when Carl Anthony Towns was out the game. You know who was at the center position. Oh G and a no and he did an outstanding job on both ends. Like he is one of those guys like when you talk about the ultimate three and three and D guy. He's that he's that he's that we need to put a little bit more respect on O. G. and a nobby's name is what Perkins was just saying there. They are quick over here. Yeah. Shout out to the production crew. Go work. Oh yeah. Hey Bruce also the guy in charge of flipping through the hembo stats here. Massive Knicks fans so he could not wait. Okay. Okay. Okay. This thing had been sitting in queue here for about you know. Most underrated player in the league. Oh yeah. There it is. He couldn't wait. The graphics said well yeah no doubt highest true shooting percentage by 20 point per game score and playoff history says O. G. and a nobby. Good luck to him in his recovery. I also appreciate the fact that you're saying let's go ahead and rest that guy for the long term. Okay. So who do you got. What are your let's let's hear your picks then for for tonight's games you like. I got the seventy sixes. I got the seventy sixes. Yeah they go protect the crew of even though it's gonna be infested with a lot of Knicks fans. Okay. I got the seventy sixes but then in that Minnesota game I got Minnesota. They coach called them out. It's gonna be rocking. He said they got pumped. They will respond. Anthony Edwards even though he gives the best post game interviews that I've seen in a long time. He had a little smirk on his face but he was pissed off. I think it's going to be close but I think you know Anthony Edwards in the Minnesota Timberwolves go pull it out. The role players Bones Highland you know Taryn Shannon. They're going to make shots and play better at home. They're going to feed off the energy of the crowd and Minnesota is gonna go up to one after tonight. All right. We appreciate the hell out of you in a robe right now. You are in the green room. I'm in the green room. I tried to get my light together but you know sometimes you know with the half cut you know I ain't got my makeup on yet. You know sometimes it just don't work back but hey look you don't need one thing. You know what they tell me. You know what they tell me like my church lighthouse right. Come as you are come as you are. Oh welcome. We appreciate the hell out of you. Carry on ladies and gentlemen. Kendrick Perkins. Yeah. He's a legend. Beast. The best. There was a time where he was potentially in our studio once a week. Do you remember that he came on. Oh yeah. First week he had it. That would have been incredible. Him in here once a week just experiencing Kendrick Perkins would have been phenomenal. What a home run. He'll say it. He doesn't care. With his chest. He will say it. How do you describe Perk? Open. Yeah. I think he wide open. He is very willing to kind of say it which is why we enjoy him. You know always have some hilarious angle in which why he is speaking the gospel and why he is right and you are wrong. I think a lot of people didn't necessarily love his delivery because it isn't like straight out of a journalism playbook. So I think they wanted to hate him. I'm telling you hard to hate Perk. You know unless you are directly being attacked by him which I could see how current players would certainly hate him. Donovan Mitchell could certainly hate Kendrick Perkins. Yeah. I could see how he would potentially be like Julius Randall Julius Randall potential just like the team is going. Okay. He could certainly do that. But for all of us it's like Perk willing to say it does the research does the work and delivers in his own unique style and he's a champ 15 year player. It's like we love big Perk. Yeah. Growing up Kendrick Perkins was the guy for the Celtics as far as like enforcer and guy that's just going to go out there and body. That was not about that. It was I just saw the view of the person that's about to join us right now. I'm so we love Perk. I love you. Love Perk. Ladies and gentlemen joining us now senior NFL insider for ESPN Adam Schafter. Yeah. Chef. Oh gee. Where are you? What do you got going on here? You're under an umbrella of sort. I'm in Florida right now. There's a Michigan event here. I guess a fundraising event through the champion circle and they got all these Michigan players coaches football program basketball program and there's a function tonight to raise money for the program and so came down here emceeing a conversation out at a football event. I mean I can show you the field. I'm off to the side right now. Otherwise we would have had some surprise guests but we are now in the shade. So that's a good thing and happy to discuss football today. By the way, Pat breaking news it looks like the NFL and the NFL RA have reached an agreement. We should hear word of that fairly soon but that's going to come down soon. Let the league will be able to avoid replacement officials but there's some information going around right now that agreement has been reached and I would imagine we're going to hear about that very shortly. Thank you for the news. Chef is you're at a Michigan. Let's fund a better football team event happening down there in Florida for the refs Association to ratify the vote. I believe the poll the voting hours or window open last night because I thought we get an answer last night. I guess it was just a window opened. I don't know if it was via email to all of its members but there was a window closing for when the vote ended. We didn't know when we were going to get a response on that. We thought if they want to vote that means they were going to approve it. You're saying they have that is gigantic news. I don't think especially with the number of eyes that are on the game now with the amount of countries that are in on the game the amount of gambling that's in on the game right now. What happened before with the replacement refs was an embarrassment to our sport to our league to everything it could have ruined. Everything and I know that the refs knew that so the fact that they kind of bent and gave in whatever the NFL is looking for and the fact that the NFL did the same for the refs to make sure they get this done early I think here. This is a couple weeks early. Congrats to all party chefty legit. That is huge for us as football fans. That is gigantic. And I don't think people really understand how big that really is at this state of time. That's a huge deal and they're able to avoid replacement officials and they get the CBA done and there obviously have been a lot of discussion about how dire dire talks had been in January, February, March. We're getting texts about it right now. It looks like up. Yeah, there it is. Yeah. Okay, here we go. Here we go. Okay. The NFL. Hell yeah. It's official. Seven seven year collective bargaining agreement. Congratulations. Congratulations NFL and the NFL ref association. Seven years you have agreed to keep the game the game the league the league to keep the integrity of the game together. You too. You too. Great entities have come together to become better officials with more accountability and a little bit more advancement of technology and you as a league having the best officials in the world would be a great thing to happen. So you two agreeing to do that. Congratulations and thank you. Hell yeah. It's official set chefty on a beach down there for the next little football field. It's official. In fact, we're Pat Pat, we're going to tweet it out right now as we're going. We're going to put it on the ESPN alert. You're going to get all the news here on all the platforms as we're doing this because this is what we do. We try to multitask so we're going to send that all the information everywhere. Well, how's the Wi-Fi down there? Wi-Fi's man. The tweet is up the NFL and the NFL referees association. Good picture. Keep going Pat. Well, I was going to read your tweet there that you were either typing up or you had your talk to text which is why you were talking in a text form whenever you told us that the news was breaking whatever the case. Seven year deal. The current deal was scheduled to expire on May 31st. It goes through 2032. Congrats all parties and I love the photo you chose to use there. Good compromise. They all look kind of pissed. Yeah, kind of pissed but also understand they got to work together. Yeah. Yeah. And I think everybody's happy here. This is good news for the league. This is good news for everybody. This is good news for ball. Yes it is. Congrats to football. Congrats football. We won today football. Okay, let's talk about some other football news as you're standing next to a football field in Florida about to raise millions and millions of dollars for the Michigan athletics program which is not just football by the way a lot of Olympic sports and you can act like it's a good thing and for the future and all that but what they're doing right there is showcasing why they're going to be able to continue to compete in athletics in college in some other places won't this comes fresh off the news that the University of Michigan were one of the initial investors of open AI and now their investment is worth $2 billion. The University of Michigan invested early in open AI. Okay. I don't know how they have an investment fund at a University of Michigan but obviously they do that makes sense that they have that they found this they get in on it because the networks that is now $2 billion in profit. Who knows if they pull that if they have that but that could certainly help you get a core back pretty good investment. I can certainly help and shifter certainly doing all he can. Good luck to you guys over there in Ohio. AJ now let's keep it moving in the NFL conversation. AJ has a question for you Michigan man. Yes chef. You do on Jenning signs with Minnesota Vikings. I guess how did this come about and what other teams were possibly in play for Jennings. You know the interesting thing is I was told that there were a few other teams. I can go back and get the exact list. I think it was the dolphins the commanders. There was somebody else that was interested. The Vikings were the only team that I believe he wound up visiting at all. That was the only one the other team out the chiefs and commanders also were interested in juan Jennings also expressed a little interest Washington Kansas City but ultimately he got a one year deal for Minnesota worth up to $13 million. It's about $8 million in base pay. And so look I think that ideally you want to get these deals done as well as you can free agency but he was able to salvage a pretty good situation and now we got a we got a lot of JJ's Minnesota JJ McCarthy who's out here right now. We go to talk to him in a little bit JJ McCarthy Justin Jefferson another JJ to on Jennings another JJ like if you are JJ JJ spawn might wind up playing for the minister of Vikings this year probably. Yeah JJ what maybe comes out of the red cover game. I mean there's a chance that a lot of these JJ's could potentially go Craig for the Minnesota Vikings. You just mentioned JJ McCarthy there who we saw at a wild game a couple nights ago going crazy with the lads and also incredible. Hey you know what I want. Bang. Okay so we talked about this actually the way he took his hand and put the right here. It was pretty evident what he was looking for. Okay. This is a one dapped slapper here that everybody in the world understands that no matter how much chaos is happening here. My guy right next to me shows me this. I know what's coming. Everybody knows that's a bang the boom and a pow and we're out of there. Okay. Yeah I like that he's doing that. That's good communication. Okay. That's good nonverbal communication from this guy might lead to better awareness on the field as he continues to grow as an NFL quarterback. There's others that give you a little happy here. Okay. Is that a fucking handshake or high five or a dapp up. What are we doing here. I don't know. Some people you know go with the fist bump straight ahead then open hand then back to the thing. You're not letting me know what you need. JJ handles the moment perfectly I'd say with the hey you know what's coming. I'm smacking the shit out of your hand guy that has a button down tucked in at a hockey game. So I mean that is just good stuff. Let's explore that conversation a little bit more. Go ahead Tom. Yes you have to with seeing him with the boys being here at the game. It was just right of my brain like is is Kyler definitely going to be the starter. Is this an open competition you think going into training camp. Well I think that we have we have more we have more news. Oh we have more news. JJ NFL is confirmed that the schedule release will take place on Thursday this week was six days from now Thursday May 14 NFL schedule will come out in its entirety Pat so we can begin to get ready for next Thursday. There it is the news like who would have ever thought Friday at 12.45 that the news is going to be pouring in here but that's what's going on right now. Well Shafty listening the NFL is 24 7 especially on Friday news dump days. We know we're in the middle of one of those May 8th 2026 in the spring got a big weekend of sports ahead. Oh yeah and a bunch NFL shits about to be dropped on everybody's and hot to font yeah yeah you're right. There's a lot of stuff going on shout out to the schedule coming out next Thursday. There was a little bit of hubbub about them potentially delaying the schedule release because not knowing what platform the game is on or maybe they don't know which games are when our source says at the league said that was not the case. They was just you know we're just still trying to figure it out. There was a comment made on a podcast before the draft by somebody was like and that kind of taken out of context. Now it's official it's coming out on Thursday. Excited to see what games are when and where. Remember the division games. OK. The placement of those are always big conversation pieces early and late used to be division games are kind of as you worked in because of the most important games. The NFL wanted to start with a bang with division games. So a lot of teams are having their most important crucial games at the very beginning of the season which gave us better football but had very big big possible ripple effects very early in the season. I'm excited to see what the schedule masters do this year. Now back to the question. You can't say J.J. McCarthy is not going to be the starter because he's 10 feet away from you. More breaking news. The Green Bay Packers have released Brandon McManus their kicker after they drafted the kicker from Florida in the sixth round and they paid Brandon McManus a lot of money. They gave him a three year fifteen million dollar deal last offseason. They paid him his one million dollar roster bonus in March but they have already moved on from Brandon McManus after drafting Trace Mack in the sixth round last month. So there'll be a new kicker in Green Bay so much for the competition that they thought they were going to have. They have now moved on from him. So again a lot a lot of news here all of a sudden we got a new kicker in Green Bay. We got the NFL schedule next Thursday. We got a seven year labor agreement between the NFL RA and the NFL itself and we have J.J. McCarthy out here and we'll talk to you about the Vikings quarterback competition which I'm happy to get back to if you'd like to. Okay so let's expand on Brandon McManus there because he started with Indianapolis Colts. I know him Super Bowl champion has done incredible things in the NFL. Miss more kicks than he would ever like or have on his entire resume. I assume he'll bounce back to somewhere anytime they say there's a competition between two kickers. That's always one more roster spot that's getting taken up by a kicker especially in this offseason as you're trying to accrue numbers and create things. I assume McManus understood the situation over this guy was drafted out of Florida this guy that got drafted out of Florida bombs balls. We watched him kick hopefully he's good hopefully McManus continues to go on 7 year ref agreement that is awesome schedule release coming out Thursday spectacular starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings Michigan man J.J. McCarthy is 10 feet away from you or Kyler Murray is that an actual competition. How do you see that going. Listen I'm not ready to write off J.J. yet look Kyler Murray has got a great opportunity in front of him. It's probably as good of an opportunity because he's had in a long time when he looked at all the talent surrounding Kyler Murray. He's got Jordan Mason. He's got Aaron Jones. He's got TJ Hawkinson. He's got Justin Jefferson got Jordan Addison. He's got Joanne Jennings right now. There's a boatload of talent in Minnesota and that doesn't even include a head coach who's obviously a death and a mission at getting these offensive plays in and having the offensive production that Kevin O'Connell has. I think I don't know your handicap. Look I think a lot of people believe that Kyler is going to wind up as the starting quarterback but I think J.J. is going to give him a run still. I don't think the Vikings are ready to willing to give up on J.J. McCarthy just yet. I think they've got two good quarterbacks there. I mean these are two high drachies so it'll play out but I think a lot of people believe Kyler is going to prevail and win the job but again I'm not ready to give up on J.J. just yet. Okay I'm excited to watch it all unfold. Obviously Kevin O'Connell's offense is one that is spectacular. They're able to sign another wide receiver who had other options and Joanne Jennings without telling him who the starting quarterback is going to be. That's how prolific that offense can be and should be. Hopefully J.J. can continue to get better and if Kyler ends up the quarterback of a Kevin O'Connell offense as a diehard Vikings fan for his entire life and as a full resurgence of being the guy that maybe we thought or hoped he could be. That's a great story too. Good luck to all parties. The Vikings are currently interviewing for a GM. When's that going to happen? Say that again. Feels like Joanne Jennings just signed there. They don't got a GM. So I mean are they going to get a GM or is Kevin O'Connell running things? Like how does that kind of all go over there? No. They've got about six, seven guys that are on the list right now. They've submitted. They've got turnkey a search firm helping them to identify the right candidate. They've got a situation where they've identified all these candidates and they're going to interview them, go through the process and we'll see where they get the information from but when they wind up hiring. But I think it'll it'll play out here pretty quickly. Rob Brzezinski is the current interim GM. He's done a great job there and I think somebody that has been overlooked there for a while. They'll have an opportunity but they've got some really interesting candidates on their list that they've reached out to arrange interviews. Okay, I cannot wait to see how it works out there. Griggson also potentially in their former coach general manager who had you know, not necessarily the greatest ending in Indianapolis but did have winning teams kind of seemingly had to go back earn his way back up to a position to be in interviews again. I had a nice chance to catch up with them. Feels like he's a different person where he's at now. Second opportunity is normally good for people in the NFL or completely asked both times but I don't think that'll be the case. There's so many good talents out there only 32 jobs just like in coaching but there's only one senior NFL insider. And that's this man down in Florida. We appreciate the hell out of you, Chefty. I had no more things tonight. I gave you all I got today. Well, tonight you need to go give it a little bit more. I think there's a lot of money in that room, Chefty. It's to be smart. There's a lot of money in that room tonight, Pat. Okay, all right. Adam Schefter, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, I think there is. I think I know where he is. Probably cool event. I don't know. I don't know. He's like, he's the emcee of the whole thing. Yeah, one of the emcees. It sounds like it's a Michigan. Do you go to Michigan? Do you have any tie to Michigan? Can you afford to buy a plane right now if you have to? Why don't you come down here? And Schefter's like, I'm gonna ask me to emcee him, I guess. I'm there. Go. Yeah. This feels like a good room to be in, pal. He loves that he's a part of the Michigan. Like he loves them. There was a chance he was going to be the guest picker for Game Day for Michigan and he called me 30 times a day just like, is this happening? Is this happening? I'm like, I don't know. You gotta ask other people. So he's got to be so pumped as are we. We're back in three. Take care. Michigan starts streaming in the ESPN app. It's all the ESPN all in one place. Sign up or activate now. Spores are the greatest. That's AJ Hawk. He's the all time leading tackler for the Green Bay Packers. The toxic table is here at Boston Connor and one half of the hammer. Cowboys AP town. Ty Schmidt. We love you, buddy. Time family. Hell yeah. Congratulations. The boys in the back. You guys are absolutely crushing it this week. I think we should do a weekly recap thingy. Yeah, for sure. Don't you think we should recap the things that we like and the things that we think are hilarious AJ? Is that not something we should do on Fridays? Oh, that sounds amazing. Yes. Do you want to go with the bad or the good on feel good Friday first, AJ? I say you start with the good. Oh, I like that. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for five things that aren't. From this week in the sports world, we looked around the entire globe in the sports universe and found our things that we think should be spotlighted is definitely not being asked. These things are so far from being asked that they're actually being celebrated for not being asked. Let's start in Madison Square Garden. Timmy for three at MSG known superfan Timmy Shalameh who's about to come out with a splashy splash. She was at the game time there. He almost bought it. Obviously looks super cool. He doesn't dress like too much of an asshole. Certainly has a little bit of moxie and swag, but it's certainly played hoops before, which is what we like to see out of mega stars. AJ Hawk. Yeah, I don't even care if the ball goes in. I don't like having you seen guys where they take a shot, but the shot put it in they're not basketball players and it goes in and people freak out. I'm like, no, it's a terrible looking shot for so for Timmy not only to make the shot, but to hit this sweet little step back and look like he's played some ball like I am very impressed. You stacked us on top of the game day thing. Yep. We're a new ball clearly understood ball the way exit games, how he crushes everything the ping pong shit. I mean, it's like Timmy's an athlete who happens to be a superstar and on that note we're pulling for you, Timmy. Keep going Timmy. Timmy for three cash. That feels so good. By the way, where's camera? Holy fuck. Thank you. Not bad D. Not bad defense either by his buddy. Even if he was by himself, like if there was no D, I'd be like that's good. Clean shot. That's definitely not ass. Let's go to another thing that is an ass. San Antonio Spurs, Timberwolves. Shot clock dwindling. Oh for so. A no dip tip three to lead the Spurs as they continue to do their thing down in San Antonio. The timing, the effortlessness, the cleanness of it makes you wonder like how difficult is that actually? Well, we tried it out with Tyrese Halliburton who's in the middle of a recovery from an Achilles yesterday and he banked it home, but I'll tell you it was not like clean. No, it was not like clean and now granted Tyrese is coming out of an Achilles and he's not necessarily the biggest jumper whenever he shoots it, but him describing it and him giving it a go. It was like, oh, that was an incredibly impossible shot that guy took. And how about the perfect timing of jumping and basically the ball just kind of coming into his hands as if it was like a video game glitch while he's jumping AJ. I mean, yeah, this is a playoff game in the NBA to like this isn't some backyard game you're playing with your bud. So yeah, when you hear other professional athletes talk about how difficult of a shot this is. Yeah, you you can't help with the impressive tip. Yeah, no tip tip. No big deal. And also a lot of people are recreating it and stuff and even Tyrese. It's like this guy was not prepared for this whatsoever. It's just like a situation one second to kind of react buries it. That's incredible. Yeah, the pass was also money. Yeah, right. I learned from me and Hallie trying to do it. The past certainly matters. Yep. The past certainly matters. AJ, you know, you can really kind of dictate whether or not that's going to go in with the pass. You kind of gave him the laces though. It looks like you gave Terry's the laces. Thank you. And also the location yeah, because if that thing's a little bit right obviously we're jumping sideways for doing this number here that that past that the of a cell got from champagne there was like literally right in it was as if the ball was dropped into his hand in the middle of a shooting unbelievable stuff all around can't wait to watch them tonight. Let's go to another thing that wasn't asked. Let's go to the NHL. Shall we we talked about this goal already but how could you not showcase it again whenever you're trying to showcase things that are certainly not asked hockey so fast so beautiful so physical so filthy absolute filth from doc right there. AJ he loses an edge. He loses his time and then he drops an absolute dime top ched over the goalie shoulder in the goalie single yourself. Wow, God. You know this the first thing I thought of when I saw this was something I talked about in this program a year or so ago the little frog getting eaten by the duck or whatever and he's all in his mouth but his hands are coming out strangled him says never give up that's kind of a definition of what this play is. Yeah, you're right. I assume that doc had the duck and frog poster in his house growing up in his bedroom just like you AJ had to had to make a play like this. Yeah, for sure yeah, the resiliency then never say never the no play is over mindset is certainly what doc is doing and that frog that was getting swallowed by that long necked bird thought that hey this ain't over just yet if I can get these big powerful legs around the neck and then maybe I won't be able to go down turns out I think they both die in this situation doc is the winner and the there it is right there. I think the way that both there's no way that both that I don't think the frog can breathe. Well, he strangles them before he can be resolved his life. But I think doc ends up not live in that like jaw for the dog's dead for sure the frog the frog was was close to death but I think he made it out. I don't think it's a doc you know what is like a crane. Yeah, it could be a crane crane is that's a big frog if that's a crane. That's a big frog King frog. I mean think about the deepness of the ribbon this fucker would have I mean I'm out of my house things are pretty big. Yeah, if this would keep you up at night. I think the frog wins this one. You think frog just holds its breath. What does this I mean frogs you know frogs they live underwater so they live on no they don't live they can be a little things only different time you have told us and bullfrogs and poisonous frogs you know what's not like that big right there that's a bullfrog face I can't I can't identify it to be honest based on the legs. It could be like an Andre the giant version of like a little frog. Yeah, it could just be the biggest it's a bullfrog it wins. Feels like a standing 10 count. I think they both dropped dead and what a fight they both put up. Yeah, they did and we certainly respect that but doc lived is what we're saying for that Canadians goal and that's certainly not ask nothing that's not as I know if you saw this on Monday night 330 pounder flying through the years. You ever seen a missile European uppercut Paul. Yeah, that's what you do this Otis do and watch them just what literally shot good yeah just kind of throws them around it was not done yet hey that 400 pounder that you guys love. Yeah, low center of gravity how about we take this time we take them down on to and over 3. I like that they did this like that did what the oldest. They fed them the oba just yeah, I'm not sure how he's nothing that's not asked to be fine. You see that's a rainy or no I know but I mean. It's Brock Lesnar. This is the best man with a no he's not I'm more not anymore. I'm not talking the best Zach I look this is why I gave on this this thing what this thing the business whatever you guys call it. You don't think I would do that. Come on you're crushing all your great people man. They're not crushing anybody here. They're building the lifting just like over does to anything he sees that certainly not ask what you're trying to do right now. I don't like it won't be going to help Otis to I love all guns. I love Otis to all right, let's travel to another world as we talk about college softball and things that are not asked to know here's Bree Ellis we saw this from the SEC Network social media account. Let's see what type of pitches she gets all game here. Oklahoma vs Georgia. Yep. Okay Arkansas Arkansas vs Georgia sorry Arkansas Patty just so actually gave a great promo after her team lost the game Arkansas is Bree Ellis is up to bat here gets hit. Okay, so that's nine straight balls. They do not pitch to her. Let's not let's make sure there's no balls in the strike zone because if there are shall do this boom walk off Grand Slam first pitch that was in the zone all game. Bree Ellis hits a walk off Grand Salami against Georgia that had to feel so good just the amount of patience all game. I assume this happens to her a lot we should follow along. I assume they know that if you deliver anything that is reachable for Bree that thing is taking a trip out of town walk off Grand Slam after not seeing a strike all damn day that certainly not ass AJ for Bree Ellis. It is not and I don't know the only thing Bree Ellis can do now is use like a 96 inch bat I guess and try to get some of those balls that are way outside. Yeah maybe you know the thing about is her plate discipline is one of the best skills second she was a softball player the year in 2025. So that run that back. Yeah did you see Coach Patty guess so oh yeah she's not always she's not back to basics. Hands bleeding crisp hands bleeding we need to work. I don't think we should run just because I don't have enough walls to run through. Okay. Just know college softball is starting to heat up and it's certainly not ass at all. And there's a five things we thought were not. Now do we want to go to the things that are ass. I think so. Yeah. Well let's hop on a train ladies and gentlemen it's time to hit the. Oh no. Train joining us to host. Oh no. Ladies and gentlemen it's football official not for ESPN Dan. Oh no. Daniel how you doing we were hoping it was an oh yeah type day but it feels like it might be an all no down all no day I'm saying how do I how am I a part of this would I do well this is kind of a phase of it. Yes it's supposed to be done 6 minutes ago but obviously carries this long because we want to celebrate all the things that were not asked but we also have to celebrate the things that were maybe all know worthy and if you're waiting on hold there we need to bring you in because you've been a part of a couple of knows we all have yeah we all have been a part of the most definitely been a part of small we're not going to show you're all your biggest oh no. Yeah you are. Oh no we're not we're not going to do that big game no we're not going to do the Fernando Mendoza we're not going to do any of that we're not going to dive in and we got time for that we just would like you to help us describe what you are watching in this sports for the oh no train believe or not you're not getting dunked on this. You know. It's a good day for me then well actually ladies gentlemen the first. Oh no comes from a few years back. Get a quarterback of the Detroit Lions being chased by a legend. It's my first time. I know if you get credit it gets credit for the sack right absolutely I think so I think that thanks thanks for that I think that's the most important part of that AJ is who got credit for the sack you got credit for the safety for sure for a long time he got credit for the sack and also he's all family potentially because he scared of safety in the other team and Dano I'm on your your team here if I was in that position which I certainly never was and for quarterback I don't know if I would ever get that position where Jared Allen is over there but sometimes you're so locked in you're just not worried about how far back it goes because we're trying to go all the way that way for a touchdown I'm not worried about backwards spaceships don't come equipped with rearview mirrors they dip you aren't looking back you're only looking forward for 98 yard touchdown so you're such an optimist you look like an asshole it made everybody say all right let's go to this week shall we let's go to a game for the no do would you like to comment and oh no would you like to turn this into a Dan oh no pot session or what what not go ahead go ahead go please please. Yeah one you said spaceships aliens aren't real to the. I saw a side of that game on a side of thing was going to the bathroom had a three minute break people are going through the falls I saw an eight sided thing I saw an eight side not fit for. The story lines of that play in that game. We lost that game 12 10. Gus for rot who's the kicker for Minnesota Brian something he's good yeah you lost 12 10 Brian Gracie we lost 12 10 I'm bummed out about that a game winning field goal. That was also the only 16 season. Oh no you basically cause that I don't want to get on all known. Okay we're going to put that to bed. But all those bad days kind of led you to here though right with Lions fans now you guys are super pumped up about your players going to Pistons games and sit court side and having celebrity row. Yeah and super cool right. Yeah we went on 16 we drafted Matthew Stafford he had about 12 great years in Detroit ended up trading him for Jared Goff and now we got Jared Goff Jared go hot. All the boys MCDC you name it so yeah then that play pissed me off at the time but now that we're doing this. Thank you for running out of the back of the end. Thank you. You're welcome thank you for doing that for all of Detroit team guy team guy from the Stones fans to the Tigers fans yeah all the way to the Lions fans in the Lions players sitting court side. Aiden Hudson looks so cool. Yeah he's Detroit's over did you see always do you see how cool he looked yesterday. Yeah he looked good. You look good. You're looking good. Yeah look pretty Jack to his sunglasses on even gave a excuse me let me hear it for me please one of these you know Hulk Hogan come on let me go ahead and get that I love that Hutch and the boys are supporting the team I like that Jamir Gibbs is there. I like that the city of Detroit's coming together around this number one see Detroit Pistons are the Stones about to rally the city are the Stones about to go on a real run here Foxy is life good all because it remember we don't have any of us if they know doesn't run out of the back of the end zone back is that not something we need to talk about a little bit more that's a hundred thousand percent correct and if I were you I would be taking all the credit for all of this the Pistons are back the Tigers are back the Lions are finally good for the first time in my lifetime the Red Rings still kind of stink listen I talk about the Red Rings but all of this is because you are the back of the end zone thank you and Ryan well was the kicker Ryan long well he was great great great game winner I'm not going to take all the credit I will say that Detroit is an awesome awesome sports city and like the whole sports complex that they have I don't know where the Pistons new arena is but the football. Ford Field and Comerica are right next to each other and they're sick that that whole little section or stadiums on top of each other you guys were there for the draft years ago you know it. It's it's a great city also great town right is that the great town and then little season arena is also downtown now which which is where Pistons and Redwings play people are very happy about all that congrats Detroit all the time it's got. And all thank you that okay let's go to some oh no is happening now shall we down oh is that better to talk about others doing no no instead of you. Yeah make fun of other people okay we're not making fun of what things out that are happening here's a Cleveland Guardians fan I assume he'd been a fan of the team since they were another name he got to the athletics game in Sacramento. Spears beer on date worst case scenario absolute. Situation as the athletics fan comes in goes shut your fan ass up and grabs the ball away from as he walks off a J that's a Cleveland Guardian fan. The two of them and I'll tell you what Ohio represent well out there in Sacramento it appears. No it's not a Cincinnati Reds fan we know that I mean at least catch the ball you're going to be all over your career. We catch the ball and left and we'll be smiling so that's why is he jumping for the ball catch. To catch it. I like everything up until execution. I like that he didn't think about putting the drink down. I like that he thought blindly with the amount of optimism and that he and athleticism that is currently in his body the last time he did something athletic who knows decades we're thinking. Yeah probably him immediately thought to himself I can do this. I like it blindly. No thought of gravity and inertia and all that shit with the cup just golden shower. He's seen others do it. Complete goal just a beer golden shower all over the date. We want to let them know we appreciate you guys and her laughing about it all that's great guy taking ball even better all those things but it's certainly in the moment as soon as you see it you can't help but say. Sounds like you're starting to get it down. Oh you see it let's stand baseball shall we let's go to the bottom of the 10th man in second cannot give up a hit right now cannot at all Michael Bush hits a ground ball up the middle. Keep your body in front of the ball. Chopper style so easy till you're in the bottom of the 10th with all the pressure in the world on the Cubs in the middle of a win streak and all of a sudden get gone. Ball is oh Cubs win they have now won 9 straight. I believe after yesterday right nine straight games the Cubs have won and on the flip side the Reds they haven't won either I think they've lost seven straight or something like that it has been a tough go this has been a part of both sides of the story and as soon as you see you go L.E. you're so cool but. Staying baseball but mixing football Dan or lofty son get your take on this Malik Willis new face of the Miami Dolphins franchise go pitch one for the Marlins. I couldn't brought out of a born Dan. What the hell is going on down there. That's a tough one on looks like he has a baseball background to like if you just watch the wind up in the step back I got the students done this before that misses by 20 feet. Yeah AJ brought a lot with them which we like we like that he brought the run to throw a hook like he's trying to break I think he's trying to throw it up there Dan. He just didn't want to bounce it. I think he's trying to throw it up there. I don't think he was really worried about those. They almost took it by 20 feet. You almost hit a guy back here. Yeah I mean there's a there's a light blue shirt. I assume worker. I mean he's right. Oh you're right. Really dodged. Maybe that's Malik thought he was supposed to start that guy. Sure. There was a chance that maybe he just didn't know who he was he didn't want to hit the check down he wanted to post. But as soon as we saw it we boy he's aggressive. You know who knows how that's going to go down there in Miami but as soon as you watch that you go. Oh no. All right you're not bad. A little dramatic little theatrics kind of hanging on to the oh a little bit longer than you should start a little bit later than you can but yeah we'll continue we'll continue to get better and better. Let's go to soccer shall we. This is AC Milan goalie Michael Minion. They just got a huge win. Go ahead and enjoy yourself. Let's go get after actually it was a zero zero draw and we're down. No. I thought I thought a team one that's on me. It was a zero zero draw. It's soccer obviously this guy just had a shut out. You rarely fall forward when down the steps. So I like that. I think it's Klee got caught maybe on the edge of that step and then it just kind of kind of lost it down there. Gravity. What does that. Those steps just like your traditional. Yeah. I don't know they might be a little meddling. They look like it's in Italy because they this doesn't look like a great instruction set up. Okay. And also thin stairs it appears thin stairs you know those thin stairs will get you because you slip off the bottom. He got stuck I think with his cleat and kind of ate shit after having a shut out game. Good for him. AJ doesn't Lambo have like some sketchy situation where I'm going down some like cement stairs and cleats. Was that is that Lambo. Yes. Yes. Oh yeah. And the locker like that wide. Yeah. That's sketchy dude. Like I got you got to go down sideways. Yes exactly. That's right before game about to play in Lambo. Here we go. This is the coolest night of all time and then you get there and it's like don't bust ass coming down this thing. You got cleats on everything slick. Now obviously we got my young going. Oh no. All right let's head to Liga Porto Gallon soccer sporting CP knocks it around and then Zeno the boss who's not the best. Yeah. Bang bang this guy and pass it back to the goalie actually let's go slide this one right by. Oh geez. Goal out there. Zabast eventually knocks it in for an angle. Victoria SC ends up losing five to one. So this was just an ass beating all together and not being on the same page and quite a little slot there by the goal. You know the goalie had no chance to get there. You want to talk about own goals. Let's get that's on the goalie. Don't you think that's the goalie's fault. Once he passes it forward he just kind of hangs at the that right post. Why would he be hanging at the post and not is that a goalie that a starter. Yeah I don't know. And also you should make himself available I think would be what the coaching point would be here. You know like hey if somebody has the ball make yourself available. Can he get the ball right there. I think he probably thinks so. I don't know. I don't think you need to go right back to the center of the goal because he's a part of that play there. He's passing it. You know they're part of that entire time. He can't pick it up because it was passed back to him. So he's part of the ball on the ground. Yeah it is a little triangle stuff. I don't know. Could be on the goalie. Let's do this next one. There's another one. Let's head to Suda Americana a team from Brazil Vasco da Garma is taking on a team from Chile. Oh no I mean goalie come on dude. Exactly that's Alan Saldivia who puts a sneaky pass passes and goalie to give all the Italian though. He looked like he was running mud there. Yeah he did that one's on the goalie. That one's on the goalie. Another feeling. Yeah Dano you were running the mother. Yeah Jesus. That's tough though. We got to be we got to be more explosive places packed by the way. Yeah place. This is Brazil taking on Chile obviously people everywhere soccer is no one there. No it's the world sport. You just can't wait was this during covid. Yeah. Okay potentially ladies and gentlemen as you watch it you can't help but say oh no that was not throwing covid. I believe that was it the last week although they got. I was going to say covid. There's not many there and we get it. Okay let's go to Garnet Hathaway. He goes to back it up on somebody. And check you out actually. Oh my God. Banana tailpipe. Sitch pause. That's tough. Boom. Worst place that he could potentially be going for an ass check and end up at. I mean that's a situation there that could potentially be long term. I assume you got to get that checked but you're certainly walking around a little bit like this. He's skating like this for a while. I think people would say Dano when you see that is your first reaction not. Don't you think Dano. Yeah absolutely my first reaction is I have no idea what the hockey padding setup is like so I don't know if there is an actual pad on the back there. There's no balloon not perfect. I don't know if they have that tailbone protector. I don't know. I don't like it like that. I don't think it's a tailbone we're worried about there is it. I think we're worried about more so self. Yeah who did the door not on the table. The team for the shut the lock that day and that's what he said I think come on you saw my ass common. Yeah we need a double or triple padded whatever the case when you look at that you can't help but say. All right let's just stay in hockey. Let's go to avalanche Parker Kelly in the middle of a little bit of scrum there with boldy you can eat it. Oh the ref can get it right in the face in game. It is a blink though. Yeah well that's hockey and that's why we're punk. Boom and he takes a shot at a guy. He shot well hockey says any shots good shot. I'll face wash the ref you can get it boldy you can get it. Oh you're breaking us up. Huh. That's cute. How about this. Boom left hook around the guy. I'll tell you what the entire situation for the linesman makes us go. Then obviously Dan. Oh you know this from golf every once in a while the sun's going to make you look like an asshole. Saps. Straka says hey you know what everybody take a look at this. Whoa. Oh no. So sad you know got to get some lotion on that and then let's go to South Korea shall we. This is an MMA League organization down there that's basically like South Korea versus the world. No it's Fleepe Pereira who's going to be doing a lot of the antics before the fight and then it's Hyukmin G who does a lot of the dancing afterwards. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Oh, oh, oh. Night night. Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it. Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no. Any time this comes up in this morning, boom, boom, that's two. Boom, that's three. Boom. That's four. And also, remember what you did earlier? Yeah, little bit of that. Hey, Felipe, all that talking. When you got into the action, it was one big, oh no. I like selling the fight though. I do appreciate that. Fantastic. And that was the Oh No Train there. Thank you for joining us there, Dan Orlovsky. And that's what all the time we have for you today. I'm joking, Dan. I'm joking, Dan. Okay, let's dive into some football talk after the Oh No. I got nothing going on. You're good. Yeah, you tell, well, you're saving the world by fighting the alien files. It sounds like. Yeah. Sounds like that's what you got going on for the next, I don't know, month or so of your life. I just don't believe aliens are real. I used to argue with Stafford about this all the time. Stafford says, Hey, Dan, oh, you look like. A big space guy. I don't know exactly where he stands on aliens, but he's obsessed with outer space, but. I'm already intrigued by it. I think a lot of us on this particular show are as well. So obviously Stafford's like that. Obviously. That's our MVP makes it. That's our MVP. He's thinking like that. Our MVP, huh? Not all of ours. Yeah, I mean, he's our MVP. He's the NFL's MVP. That's we view ourselves as NFL people. It makes sense that he's a space guy in the entirety of it all. What if somebody showed you direct evidence that they were real though you would still have to not believe it? Is that how you are? No, no, no, I could I could get into that, but we don't. To my knowledge, I'm not the smartest person. I don't think we've ever seen direct evidence. Kind of right. That aliens are real. I don't know the alien files are out today. Department of War said, Hey, here they are. What's coming out? We don't know. I saw a bunch of this though. I saw a bunch of these things just out there. Yeah, there it is right there. Dana. Right there. Yeah. I don't know what that is. I don't. What is that? Where's it from? Yeah, that's what we're saying. I do want to see them. I need to see them though. Great. This is their ship. Whatever. Yeah, I need to see what's inside. Yeah, get one of those. Yeah, I need to shake one of their hands. You know, I want high five. In time square in a glass box. I want to Oklahoma drill one of these things. Yeah, maybe a show. I want an alien zoo. Every main city needs one in a box that everyone can go and look and ask questions to. Yes. I'm not going to roast on that. Because even a video now. So your team, your team aliens are real. Me? I'm team, they're definitely possible. Yeah, definitely. More likely than not. Yeah. And then are you team like they are like from the movies visually or they're many black people on earth? I don't know. I don't know. There's been so many things like the gray people conversation. You know, like that whole thing. There's been a lot of that. Yeah. That is a tiny little jug there. I don't know. There's been a lot of conversation. There's just a lot of conversation about them. A lot of different description of them. I don't know. Hopefully these files will lead us seeing them. And once again, I would like to think that if they're so damn sophisticated and educated that they can get to us for files to even be open, that if they did want to wipe us out, they would already done that. So I would like us to potentially, if they do exist, which I'm open to the idea that they certainly do. Damn. Certainly open to that idea. I would just like us to work with them. You know, this is like AI inevitable. Let's work with AI. Mm hmm. Yeah. Let's remember that we can unplug AI, right? Did you happen to see the old ex files episode that's going around this week? Oh, I hated ex files. Did you see what was going around? Scully and Mulder, dude. In one of their episodes, the aliens released a virus. I don't want to hear it. Guess what the virus was. Guess what the virus was. See? Honto. No. That's real. I don't want to be haunted by these haunted stories. Because I think I saw what was it. What NFL player tweeted? Tyron Matthew tweeted Honto virus in 2020. Or something like that. Let's say football place. I'm not worried about that being said. I would like the coats to sign one of these things if they are out. Sure. Because I know they can figure out the alien draft like submental draft. We cool. Yeah. Think about them getting to the quarterback. They have to be a separate. Boom. All of a sudden the coach are winning the Super Bowl. I mean, this is what I'm here for. Let's move to have it all. With an alien. They probably still would you see what they did. They disappeared. They came back. Magic man. Now you see me. Now you don't. Somebody just put their hands on. Tough to block. Yeah. Absolutely tough to block. Yeah. That's what we're talking about though. That's what I'm saying. That's why we need to learn. That's why we need to talk. We need to keep these open minds. Because our football teams might get better from this. And if we win the Super Bowl because of an alien. I'm cool with it. I'm still going to the parade. Now speaking of parades. Pittsburgh Steelers. The hell's going on over there. Dan O and your eyes. There was mixed reports going on. A lot of mixed reports going on within Pittsburgh. And I'm sure you've heard that Aaron Rodgers was coming in this weekend. And I don't know if he reported the sign or not sign. Ian Rapport quote tweets goes. Yep. They're planning for him to come out there and do it. Then we're hearing reports that no it's not happening. With all this means it seems like Aaron Rodgers is going to be the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback. But it is not beneficial and we have no idea. What are your thoughts on the situation that's brewing over there. And I'm sure you've heard that Aaron Rodgers is coming in this weekend. And I don't know if he reported the sign or not sign. But哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎 going to be able to do as such next year? No, what's best for the team is that Aaron Rodgers is the quarterback. What's best for the organization is that anybody but Rodgers is the quarterback. OK. I think with Aaron, with Aaron as they're starting quarterback, they are a fringe playoff team. They are they're not going to be better than Buffalo, New England, Baltimore, Sinssey, Houston, Jacksonville, the Chargers, Denver. So you got to hope that one of those eight or nine teams doesn't play well. And you kind of shoot over your skis. I think they're a nine win team with Aaron. And that's why I say with the team, yeah, I get it because there's Ham Hayward and TJ Watt and Jalen Ramsey, some of these obviously two long time stealer veterans, Hall of Famers, all three of them. They want to win now. And so for this team, this 2026 version, the best thing is to have a quarterback as good as Aaron playing. But for the organization, it's not because you're just going to be picking at 20 again. Tom, you may know this. It blew my mind. The Steelers have had two top 10 picks since 1990. Yeah. Winning season. And so it's great. Two top 10 picks since 90. And one of them is the 10th pick. And so I just I can understand and appreciate the history of the organization and the consistency of the organization. But what's best for them is to fall back this year and to not be good and try to gather a top 10 pick and figure out the long term spot at quarterback. OK, so you think they hired Mike McCarthy. They still have TJ, Cam Hayward, all the vets on the build in the building, right? All the olds. They still got a lot of the olds that have been around for a long time. To kick it in a year? No, I don't. I said this to you guys a month ago. Aaron's going to be the start of quarterback. I said, write it in pen. That's happening. But that's what's best for the team is not what's best for the organization. This is one of those situations that what is best for the team is for Rogers to be the quarterback because that group can win. But what's best for the organization long term is not. OK, so I can understand where you're coming from strictly because a lot of Steelers fans have been feeling this way about Tom. And you talk about the two top 10 picks. That's because they're always winning enough games, but they never win enough games. And they never lose enough games. So they've been there in the middle of the draft literally for 20. It's like purgatory. But do you think the team next year, no matter who is in purgatory, does Aaron keep you in purgatory? I guess is what Daner Lovsky is saying. But what if Dano doesn't realize that maybe because Haunta, maybe because everything going on. This is Aaron Rodgers in Mike McCarthy's offense. Hunter. Exactly. You love what you're doing. Just keep doing what you're doing, bro. Don't worry about anything. Fuck it all. Just just ball. Don't worry about anything. What is this? Haunta, this guy. Wake up. How big is a rock? Is the rock come with the house that you live under? Like I don't understand. Am I supposed to know? Nope, you're not. You're supposed to know. Everyone knows that. It's an entity for sure. And I think you'll just go ahead and sit back. Just sit back. Make sure you sit back. We are on the internet a lot. I talked to a group yesterday. I was the only one that knew what it was. OK, so I guess, yeah, that is the difference we've found ourselves in. We know. We live on the internet. So we kind of hear everything happening. You live in film. So we'll keep you updated on stuff. Just know the Haunta thing. Yeah, there it is. Dan, where do you live down there? Patrick's house, right? Is that SpongeBob? No, SpongeBob lives in a pineapple under the sea, dude. I did not know that. I would have right there. I believe that's the neighbor. I believe that's Patrick Starr's house. Or I guess he's two down. He's next to Squidward. All right, anyways, don't worry about anything. But let's talk about this, Steelers Team. Do you think they can win at all? Because if you can win another Super Bowl, it's the only thing that matters. Literally, the only thing that matters. I agree with the majority of what Dan said. I do think they will be a better team this year with Aaron because of the coaching change. Will it be enough to get to the Super Bowl? Probably not. No. Jeez. I said that, Dan. I just said that. There was a lot of yenders and me included when, you know, Aaron, like when, and he's still not back, but was like, hey, let's fuck it. Let's go with Will this year. Either you find your quarterback for future. He surprises people, Dan being one of them. Or you win four games and you get your quarterback for the future in the 2027 draft, which is supposed to be much better. A lot of people were hoping for that, but the coaches don't want that. The players do not want that. I don't even know if the organization wants that at all. Obviously not because, you know, they wanted Aaron back. But no, I agree with a lot of what some of the teams that he said would be better. I didn't agree with, but, you know, a lot of what he said was right. Yeah, and he left off the Colts. Obviously the AFC is certainly stacked. AJ, your thoughts on your friend Aaron Rodgers being in the middle of a conversation around the Pittsburgh Steelers yet again. It feels like this is back to back years of this. And then it was the Jets before that, that it was Packers. Like anything Aaron does is always going to be a conversation. I think he knows that. I think we all understand that. But this one has become so dynamic, I think, because the way the fans who are diehard and loyal, and would be if you won, are at the point of feeling like, if this guy who already knows what the building's like already knows who the coach is, already knows everything, doesn't want to come back, what are we waiting around for? And I think Mike's waiting around. And I think Omar's waiting around. I think the Steelers are waiting around, just like they were last year. The fans can't really comprehend that, it feels like, AJ. Yeah, well, fans aren't talking and having conversations with Aaron and his representatives, as we've seen. Omar has said that and coach Mike, since he's been on the job, I guess. So they obviously feel like from their dialogue they have had with Aaron and his side, that they're going to figure things out, I guess. Doesn't it seem like that? We're almost in June right now, and it's still up in the air. So yeah, and I know Dan says it's not best for the organization, the franchise, but I guess it's just short term, long term, like short term, it's obviously better for them. But I just don't know how it can be a plan. Now, hey, we need to lose enough games to where we get to pick high enough to get our next franchise quarterback. I think that's hard to sell to anybody. I don't think Steelers fans are necessary. I mean, they talk about it in theory, but then doing the season. I mean, it hasn't happened in 20 plus years. Rookie Mini Camp starts today, and the mandatory Mini Camp starts June 2. So I mean, we still have a few weeks before mandatory Mini Camp, and other guys getting reps isn't necessarily the worst things, but we'll see. Okay, so Omar Khan did a Westwood One interview earlier today. Omar Khan on Aaron Rodgers to Chris Mack on Sirius. Okay, so Sirius, I don't know where specifically Aaron is. In the world? I think that's kind of what that could be. I can tell you that Aaron and I and coach and Aaron and Aaron's representatives have had good conversations since season ended and since Mike got hard. It's been positive, but yeah, I don't know where he is at this moment. Okay, it could be in the building, maybe he's downstairs at Quiver Row. Oh, could be. Maybe he's in a bathroom. Maybe he's in a locker room. He's probably up to his ears in these alien files, if we're being honest. He was probably gonna come and then he heard that the files were getting released. And he's like, well, I don't have time for the sealers right now. He's had the file. See you tomorrow. Yeah, he already knows a lot of them. I'm a little bit worried that if you are on the internet, you know a lot of these files that are potentially getting released. So I'm a little bummed out. But Aaron's not on the internet, remember? He's always there. He gets all of his info from Mia, his sister. Come on. In law. In law. Which is also your sister in law now, you son of a bitch. Well, he hasn't signed yet. Let's talk about more things that happened around the NFL world. Joe Burrow looks super cool out and about. He also was training with the Bengals just yesterday. He had a full sled on as they're continuing to work out during the spring. They have the sports bra, catapult sports bra. So cool. But he has the black shirt underneath it. So it looks cool. And obviously, Joe Burrow's gonna look cool whenever he does anything. Running full speed obviously seems to be pumped. Do you think Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals have a big bounce back this year, Dan Orlovsky? I do. Right now that would be my pick to win the division. I think it's obviously a huge year for Cincinnati, for Joe. That's why they make the trade for Dexter Lawrence. A bunch of new starters on defense that just have to pay off for them. Two years ago, Joe Burrow has this historic season. In NFL history, it's one of the great quarterbacking and offensive seasons we've seen. And they don't get into the playoffs because the defense is equally historically bad. I have very little doubt that if everyone's healthy on this offense, it'll be a top five offense. Now, part of that's gotta be Joe. Joe has to own some of the health of his own career. They've gotta protect them. I thought the offensive line was better last year, but it's still a challenge, right? Like it's still been the narrative as they haven't kept them clean. But if he's healthy, then this defense just gets a little bit better. Yeah, this is the, for me, the pick to win the division absolutely matter in the AFC playoffs. I think that it's a fascinating year in Cincinnati and in Philly for the quarterbacks because they're three straight years without the playoffs. They don't go again with what they've invested now into the team and kind of given Joe what is needed and wanted, at least by reports. Yeah, you could absolutely see it getting very noisy and him wanting out. Okay, last question before we let you go because we've got action Bronson on the other side. Can I wait to talk to him? Chef, rapper, actor, content creator, respecter of aliens? Yes. I'm like, who we're talking to right now? Yeah, that's respectful. At least things are listening. Everything's- Thousands of years, we've got no evidence. They just released all the files. What about the band might be a hybrid. What about the pyramid? They're trying to throw us off. Oh yeah, for sure. An alien would run out of the back of the end zone. Maybe the flow's off. An absolute burial. There was no reason for that. Holy shit. That's on AJ. That was so quick and so rude. That's on AJ. So quick and so rude. Complimented aliens, buried Dan. That was on AJ. Jess, you know what Dan? Have a great weekend, man. Honest. That was a great time. You didn't have fun doing all that? That was not part of the plan. You were part of the show. You were part of the show, no. Great time. What do you have this weekend? You watching May Mayhem? No, I got a bunch of sports tonight. Wife's going out for a girl's night in New York City. Oh, nice. Big night for Dana with the kids. Thought you were the cross-backer. Not gonna watch. Yeah, what the hell? It's this weekend. I'll be at games all day tomorrow and Sunday. So Mother's Day Sunday. Don't be an idiot, boys. Don't be an idiot. Good call, actually. That's a great call reminder to everybody. Mother's Day Sunday. Yes, it is. Oh, Mother's Day. We thought about these things because we appreciate them. Yeah, Mother's Day. Thank you. Mother's Day. Mother's Day. I think my sons play Fairfield on Sunday, Connor. Oh, look out. That's a strong program. Tell you what, they know how to play with Chris. How old? What are we playing? Very good. Eighth grade. So my sons are four months from last week, dude. Last week, we had a lot of change in the Orolowski household. Wednesday afternoon, all three boys got braces. And then the next day, I had to pay off the bet with them and they got cell phones on Thursday. Oh, huge. Holy hell, you got to be monitoring that thing. You better have eyes on all these phones. Yeah, I'm all over it. You got. I'm all over it. Once Honda gets in there. Maybe this is how you learn about the world. So is this like an internet thing? Yeah. Yeah, everyone's doing it. All right. Not a person. Do the Honda. Don't do the Honda. Do the Honda. We don't want to do the Honda. I'm not doing anything. Do the Honda. Do the Honda. Don't do the Honda. You don't want to do it. Dana, just keep looking at your little bubble. And we respect it. Ladies and gentlemen, that's Dan Rolofsky. Yeah, Dan. Oh, he's a 12 year old boy. Yeah, he is. He just got a cell phone too. Yes, he did. He's about to learn a lot through their phones. But he's not going to know how to wash their phones. I mean, there's somebody who's going to have to walk him through that whole thing. Yeah, just restrict his own. Ladies and gentlemen, a man joining us now has another album released today called Planet Frog. One of the greatest brains that I've ever encountered. I know him from the hosting shows. Fuck, that's delicious. Watch Along with Ancient Aliens, amongst many of workout stuff, amongst many. Also, rapper, obviously album release today. Yep. Actor, massive New York Knicks fan. Ladies and gentlemen, legend, Action Bronson. Yeah. Action. What's up, chef? What's up, fellas? How are you guys? Hey, life is good for the Knicks right now, huh? Looks like you guys are really going to go on a run. You got an album release. The Knicks don't look like ass. This is a good time for Action Bronson, I would assume. Oh, no, he's gone. Oh, God. Jeez. That's Action Bronson football right there, by the way. Exactly. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Just faded in. Yeah. What is that? It's the Matt McConaughey movie right there, Inception. Oh, good. Is that Matt McConaughey? No. Yeah, that's McConaughey. OK, so no. Oh, it's not. That's Leo in it. Oh, I thought you said Interstellar, Inception. Interstellar. I'm thinking Interstellar. Hey, Inception is the top. Yeah. Leo with the little top. The dream inside a dream inside a dream. A lot of it. Yeah, that's right. What is Severance? Is Severance a dream? Severance, no. Severance is a choice. It's an operation itself. But is that what you are when you dream? Ladies and gentlemen, join us now, fresh out of the action Bronson. Yeah. Yeah. Bro, some motherfucker called me just now when broke it all up from Portugal. I'm sorry. No, hey, no problem. Anytime you're getting calls from Portugal, we know that's a good thing. You know, Action Bronson's cooking up all over the world. You got to do what you have to do. Can you tell me about life right now for you, other than getting Portugal calls in the middle of a conversation? Album drop, Nixor for real. How's life for action right now? I feel great, man. Inside I'm battling demons, but on the outside I'm happy. Well, at least you got music to kind of let the demons speak for themselves. Obviously, try Sarah Taw. Yeah, it just started taking GH. You did? I want to. Well, hold on. So what are you going to get, Jack? Because you do have moments where you get super jacked up, especially with the working out. Fully jacked. Bam. Properly jacked. Look at this fucking thing. Yeah, I mean, it's going to go full screen on that thing so we can see. Go ahead, get it up in the screen a little bit. We didn't get to see the full thing. Now, wait until it. Wait until it. You'll know when I'm on the G. You'll know when I'm on it. Not yet. What is your head going on? What do you think will go most? The head's going to be gigantic. Harry Bonds. I'm going to hit 75 on runs. Tell me about this Nix team this year. Action, you think you can actually win it all with this squad or no? I like the way they look. We have a deep bench. I'm telling you, the guys got hard. They want to win. I mean, we have a path. It's going to be a rough one, but every year, when is it ever easy for us? It's never easy. Well, I think in the tournament, it's not easy for anybody. It's the best teams out there. Action sounds a little dramatic in New Yorker saying, Nix fan saying, it's always going to be your garden. People say the hardest place to play or best place to play. How do you feel about the Mecca and why is it viewed that way, you think? Mecca, it's intimidating to people because some of the greatest sports ventures ever have ever happened in their classic fights. The motherfucking wrinkling brothers, Barnum, and Bailey Circus pulls up. How shows WWF 1987, WrestleMania 10, things happen at the garden. One of my favorite things that I've ever watched was Justin Gaichi and Michael Chandler. It was one of the craziest fucking, I can't even believe that that was one of the loudest times ever. It's just an intimidating place, but it is the most electric arena there is. And I think that's been on display every single NBA playoffs. The Nix inevitably break the hearts at the end. Is this the year that Brunson goes? Absolutely crazy. Tell me about the album release action. So what is today? Doing a lot of chat about the album bouncing around, letting it just hit send and let the world deal with it. What is life on album next? Yeah, that's all. I let it hit send, let everyone deal with it. I'm just talking to you. I only have capacity for one. Tell me about your life. It seems like you pick and choose to do whatever the hell you want at this stage. How long has it been like this? That's how I feel. This is the way it is. I broke my leg and stopped. Something unlocked was DMT straight to my neck, like nuke rogocop 2. You know, like. Bar. Right off, bitch. It was inserted and then I haven't stopped since. I just feel great. I'm ready. I'm just ready. I'm ready to run through a wall right now, to be honest. Well, you look fantastic. We've been reading through some of your lyrics and the way your brain pieces words together. Absolutely love. Can you tell me about the alien files being released? I watched some ancient aliens alongside you and your friends playing at nights on my life. How do you feel about the files getting out there? How do we feel about it? I don't know. I don't like to read files. I like to see substance. I like to see things. Yes, yes. At the end of the day, I've been places. I was just in Tiotihuacan. You know, I was at the temple of the sun giving praise. I was at the temple of the moon giving praise. Like literally, this was, I've seen, I've been to the other side too many times to not believe. You see behind me? You see that? Hold on, that's right. I can't even get it nice. There's a frog there. There's five frogs. Yeah. That's like the five, that's like the five Italian families. Yes. OK. You know. There's five frogs. Five MEO. OK, I like that. Lucchese. What? Gambino. What? Banana. What? You know what I mean? Devei. Devei. Genevieve. Why? I just smoked some crazy hash. Yeah. Boreenkem. OK, got it. We nailed it. As soon as we started the watts, you knew you had to finish it. You didn't know when you were going to be able to get there. I respect the moment. I respect what just happened there. I'm with my man Connie Gorgeous right now. We used to drive uptown to 172 in Autobahn six times a day. We're 10 on it. Shout out Connie. You guys made it. You guys made it, Connie. You guys made it. It's too crazy. Any car we could find. Yeah. Now we're here. Look at you. Now we're here, baby. Look at you. Five frogs. Smoking hash. Releasing out. Dual G99M5s. One sedan, one touring. You're the best action. Connor has the last question for you, sir. Yeah, actually, it's incredible to talk to you. I'm going to be at UFC on Saturday. Yes. OK. Boom. OK, thank you. That was a pleasure. Any other scheduling? I was at Tremayev. Yes. Oh, OK. Sounds good. Good to know that's who we'll bet on. Everything you say sounds like a lyric. It's probably the coolest thing I've ever heard in my life. Is it hard for you to stay locked in on one thing because you can basically do so many other things? Yes, obviously. That's an obvious fucking thing. Yes. So how do you handle that when you can do so many things, but you have to kind of lock in on one? You sit and do nothing. You just let it settle for a second. You just take patience. It's like LeMaz. You just have to breathe through it. Love a good LeMaz class. Every good sniper should take LeMaz classes. Control the heart rate. You know this. Control the body. You know this. Do you want to do a LeMaz class right now, maybe? Do you want to lead us in a little breathing action? I just did Thai bowl with Billy Blanks. You remember the last Boy Scout? Yeah, I remember. The first scene in the last Boy Scout? Yeah. That's all I cared about. I was just like, yo, let's fucking bugging out because I watched him in Bruce Willis, Damon Waynes every day. I love that movie. I got it on VHS. Did you do double? What? Did you do double? That's a great movie. Yo, I have 2,000 VHS tapes. That was my inheritance from my grandfather. Shout out, Reston Beach, by the way, to the legend. It looks bliss. Fucking RoboCop, one, two, three. Walt Disney Mew, like the king and I. Yeah. Home Alone. American Me. Home Alone for sure. You got a BTR still? You got a BTR? Home Alone. I mean, you kidding me? Let me think about what else. Relief of Weapon. Die Hard. Die Hard. Three Ninjas. Die Hard. Cyborg. Yeah. Matrix. The Presidot. The Prestidot. Heavyweights. You got 2,000? We're going to be here for a while. Heavyweights with Crazy. I told Ben Stiller I needed to be in Heavyweights too. A lot of traction about this. We talked to him yesterday. He said he'd be interested in having Heavyweights too. I think you'd be great in it, obviously. I mean, bro, I lived it, man. I could fucking, I could get candy anywhere. I thought we were going to potentially go through your 2,000 VHSs right there. I thought we were going to potentially go through. We can. I mean, I know the whole top row of my mother's dresser right now. I got them on. You know what the grade is? Okay, all that. It's like showboat beaches. There's a lot of Bet Midler. Bet Midler. Yeah, Bet Midler and Legend, by the way, back in the day, obviously. VHS. Serious. Serious. Imagine dropping into the VHS era and telling them what we have now. Now, on that note, one thing that you crush. The rock zone, by the way, fucking Gary Busey Wesley Snipes, maybe. That was right next to beaches. Okay. Gary Busey's been through it. Yeah. Gary Busey's been living. Right? He was also great in Under Seize too. Oh, yeah, he was. Underrated. Tommy Lee. Underrated there. Under. That's a huge one. When you watch the VHS, is that in 380? How's the quality? It's on the TV's on a stand and then the VCR is set up underneath it. It's like a little metal thing and then I have a rewinder next to it. Yeah. It's like one of those pieces of shit that they used to roll into the classroom. Yeah, I got you. Yeah, I got it. Those are good days, substitute teacher days. Okay, let's talk about some. I'm not trying to mess around with it because these are freshest pieces of film. That's right. They are a precious piece of film. That was back when they were filmed, actually. You know, as opposed to digital shit. But I mean, it's on actual tape. It's on tape. That's because you respect the art, obviously. I really do. I'm of the arts. I'm of the land and of nature. Hell yeah. End of the sea. I mean, you really are. I think that is something we would all... I mean, I'm a seaman if there's anything I am. Yeah, coxman. I am a seaman. Yeah, you certainly are. Coxman, seaman. We're all seaman. Well, at one point. But I'm truly a waterman. Okay, out there in the lakes or the rivers? No, on ocean, in ocean. I need lots of waves. I need sets from Tibet. Of course. I need to be out during the hurricane when it's 18 degrees with the western time. Are you going belly up or belly down? No, no. Me, I only boogie. I'm a sponger. I'm a dick-drager. Yep. I ride a boogie board, aka a body board. Yep. Head first like a crocodile only. See, now why the fuck are you going around? Who the hell is this? You see how I'm saying, Portugal? Is that a call from Portugal? This is the second... Hold on, nah, this... Hold on. There it is. All right, boom. All right, boom. We made it good, though. Someone's... They're always trying to catch me. Never. No one calls me when I'm not doing anything and when I'm doing something, this all happens. Okay, we got about a minute and a half to a hard out. You are a chef as well, which I assume people picked up through this conversation we've had here thus far. Someone has the last question for you. Yeah, you are, actually. And we talk about a lot. You think they would have picked that up from this? Yes, definitely. Because you're a man of culture. You're a man of the world. You do everything, actually. We always talk about... Hey, which country has the best food? Who has the best cuisine? Why is it Italy? Recently, I've been chasing the Silk Road. A lot of the stands, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan. Sure. Uzbekistan. Good stuff. Kazik. Some of my favorite kebab, just interesting animals under the ground. Some of my favorite stuff. Okay, last question here. Connor has it for you. Yeah, I actually have to ask. What are your thoughts on artificial intelligence? It feels like it is something that you would have some sort of take on that you've thought about deeply. I mean, it's really not that much of a deep thought. Like, just think about this. Like, what the fuck are we doing right now? Who knows? Who knows? That's all you really need to think about and then think about it. It's all this shit is ridiculous. It's all silly. It is. It is. Everything's silly. But you have to adapt to life. This is where we're at. You either fight for your right or you lay down and die. See you on Monday. Goodbye. You're good, baby. Hey, that was a perfect wrap up there. You're the man, Axi Bonser. Yeah, baby, Axi. You're the man. He was amazing. I should have expected that. I know I did not put much thought into what that segment was going to be like. I just thought, man, I know Axi pretty good. I feel like we should be able to bop this thing around. I should have known he was coming in here brain wide open. Did we know that he made the not my chair, not my problem video? Yeah, it could have been him. That's his voice. Ty and not. And that's his brain. I promise you, that's him. Hanging on to every word. All I can think about the entire time. I don't believe. Not my chair. Sidewalks. That's him. Mr. Walk Down Me. Mr. Walk Down Me, I'll lead you to Mr. Pathway. Think about how he just talked his voice, his brain and that video. How about Connie to back beside behind the camera? They used to drive that thing up stay. Fucking whatever, whoever can get it. It sets from Tibet. I loved you asking you a problem. Got any issues sticking to one thing? Yeah, obviously. Is anybody watching this? Yeah. Hey, I feel like people could pick up that you were a chef. You think they could pick that up from this? Yeah. No. That's a valid question. Got over 2,000 VHSs. I thought you was going to list them all. Kipped it from my grandfather. I thought you was going to list them all. Inherited. Yeah. Rest in peace to the grandfather. I knew my mom's entire top row. She fucking loved that middler. Gary Busey. God, I can't wait to relive that. That was incredible. Hey, his album's available now. And I'm going to listen to the whole thing. Five frogs. Five frogs, like the five families. What do you say? I can't get out. Let's see it. Oh, man. Gave praise at the temple of the moon. And at a sun. Yeah, geez. Oh, action. Quicker, you're into the Mount Rushmore of conversations on our show. He was perfect for Feel Good Friday. Action Bronson's name was mentioned to the program. I think it was like Wednesday. It was like, we're packed Wednesday. We cannot. We're so sorry. But we like Action Bronson. Please, we would like him to know that we would definitely like him on the program. And we appreciate you pitching somebody. Like people pitching people is very abnormal. So like we're very, very thankful for that. So then they're like, yeah, he's doing. It wasn't him. It was like people, you know, they're like, he's doing. He's got his album released, but he's also Nick's fan. We're trying to get him to do stuff. That's basically what they're saying. Think about trying to rally him. Oh, impossible. Oh, yeah. Impossible. I can't believe he was on. So then they were like Thursday, we could try to rally him in like the noon hour or whatever. Like, I think we got, I'm so pleased. I'll have him Friday with him would be amazing. Anytime he's good on Friday, we would love to have him on a feel good Friday. 140 happened to be the perfect time. Yeah. Right into the end of that. Maybe 205. But try to rally him. You say his people trying to rally him. The amount of times we said, well, well said. Oh, yeah. The amount of times that's been said to him. Well said. And I just love that he completely knows to like, uh-huh. Yeah. Think about what I just said. We got anything else to talk about? Nope. Didn't think so. Let's keep it moving. Man, chef, rapper, actor, liver. Absolutely a liver. Beast. He's living. Yeah. It's a fuck about right now. Just rolling through the silk road. All the stands. He left one off a couple off that I've really thought of. I'm happy he didn't go there. Might be closed off. Let's make some picks on these games. Sports are up right now. Sports are up right now. Sports. We go to that graphic of the, uh, the, uh, yep, right here. Hell yeah, sports. We would like to celebrate this. This is certainly not a sports or way up. Honestly, it makes us all wonder what, what people are doing before watching sports. You know, if all these people are becoming or coming back to sports or becoming sports fans, or more people are getting access to watching sports, whatever the case, we appreciate everybody diving into the sports world and we're fucking very lucky to be a tiny part of this entire thing. AJ, but it feels like sports are up into the right now. Absolutely. I mean, we're in an awesome time for sports right now, especially since all like every sport seems to deliver, especially when it comes to playoff time. So yeah, we are, it is true. Like what do you do if you don't watch any sports? Like there are people that don't watch anything like for when it comes to, I think they read books. Yeah. Is that it? I think so. Or like what kind of TV do they watch? They watch your stuff. There's people that don't have TVs in their house. I assume, you know, those, what's that like trash TV? I say trash. I used to watch it as well. More people? No, like reality TV. Oh yeah. Yeah, like all that TV. I think the genre is actually trash TV. I'm not calling it trash TV. You talking like Lizard Lick Toe? No. Like that would classify as old school part of it. Lizard Lick Toe, Rock of Love, Flav of Flav. Love is Dime. We're talking Summer House. We're talking all that stuff. Jersey Shore, all that type of stuff is our area. All my friends that don't watch sports, that is what they watch. But you have a lot of sports friends that don't. That's interesting because I've been trying to figure out who in my life would I be able to ask information from about don't. But I do think it's all those shows. Yeah, yeah. Addicted to those shows. Like Netflix has a bunch of them. Peacock has a bunch of them. It's almost like the new soaps. Like soap operas used to kind of carry the afternoon for everybody. Now it's like all these different series and games and realities and shows from all these platforms. Because there's some of these platforms that I think you're probably seeing magnificent spikes whenever one of their series pops off, when nothing else pops off. I watched my wife go over to like some platform that have not been on at all just to watch some show. And it's like they're just trying to create ways to get people to places. Sports have always ranked king, seemingly still king. But I like that there's some other shit kind of drawn attention around there for content. But sports up into the right is a wild thing whenever you think about like the amount of money that's being spent on all this. The licensing, the contracts, the streaming platforms that seemingly have a bottomless pit of money trying to get into the game. And then news comes out. It's like YouTube might not have any NFL games. Netflix actually might pick up more NFL games. Amazon Prime, are they going to get another game? It's like we're now in a world where every platform is trying to get in, at least on our league. And as these numbers continue to grow up, every one of these sport things are going to be the most profitable thing on television until television's no more. I mean, that's just kind of how it is. And I'm fucking lucky I grew up only in the sports world, to be honest with you. Yeah, especially when we're talking about some of the biggest stars in all these sports. Like we mentioned the MLB, the MLB with the world baseball classics. One thing, like having a player as fascinating as Shohei Otani in the league and, you know, a Paul Skeens who's setting records that have gone back hundreds of years. Like even just that as an attraction. I don't like the Dodgers, but if Shohei Otani's on, you're going to go watch him. It feels like there hasn't been a draw like that in the MLB in my lifetime, at least like there is right now. That's a home run race. That's in a bunch of sports. Yeah, since the home run race. Shout out to sports. Let's have a great weekend of sports. Let's make some picks for tonight. The NHL has two games. Canadians at Sabre, 7 p.m. Eastern on TNT. Golden Knights at the Ducks, 9.30 on TNT. AJ, who do you like? How do you like it in the first one in Buffalo? I have a hard time picking against this Buffalo team, obviously. Everything they're doing on the ice, off the ice. I am a fan of so give me Buffalo here. Fresh off of Matthew Kachuk saying that the Buffalo Blade gang could beat up all the other groups from all the other different places. Go ahead and consider me all in on the Buffalo Sabres. I like the Sabres. I like them to win it again. Congrats to them going up to O in our eyes, even though these Canadians are not going to go down lightly. Golden Knights Ducks, 9.30 p.m. Eastern. We know Ty will be up. We know Ty will be up. We know Ty will be up. We know Ty will be up. Ducks or Knights, who do you like? How do you like it, AJ? I mean, I like the Golden Knights. I've been riding with them since the beginning. I will continue. Jack Icon and the boys will get it done. I love the Knights as well. Give me the Ducks. They got a lower accent as their coach. I love everything about the Ducks, especially them being at home up there. I think it's going to go well. Let's go to the NBA tonight on prime. Knicks at Sixers. Knicks have been beating the hell out of everybody. The Hawks and into the Sixers. Joel M. Bied gets hurt. That kind of changes the entire storyline. Spurs at Wolves. One, one, Ty. Damp Man, one into San Antonio. Stole one. Wendy and the boys answered. Vacelle did a trick shot in the middle of a game. AJ, who do you like in Knicks versus Sixers? You know what? I'm going to go with the Knicks here. M. Bied is out, correct? I believe so. A questionable at the moment. Question. I'm taking the Knicks. I know Kendrick thought the Sixers were taking this one, right? I'm going to ride with the Knicks here. Okay. So you wanted to point out publicly that you're opposing Kendrick Perkins. They did. Honestly, it came out that way. It did not mean it to come out that way. I love Perk, by the way. By the way. I mean, he's amazing. He's outrageous. Action Bronson needs maybe a once a week. Mike Foss, who was the connection between Action Bronson's group and us. Really? Said this is both the best and worst potential booking I've been a part of. And I said, no, best. I'm not going to lie. We need more action Bronson. I don't think everybody can pull off Action Bronson, but I like that Action Bronson's Action Bronson thing. So I think it's spectacular. Do we have shams on? Shams. Sharonia. Ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, shams. No, we can't hear you. What you say. We can see your face. I took my airpods off. Shams, what you say. I took my airpods off. Hey, Joel Embiid, what's he doing tonight? Is he playing? I think we read questionable is what we heard, but should we assume that questionable means out or should we assume questionable means in for Joel Embiid? I think right now it is a situation where he's going to probably end up going to the arena warming up and then seeing how he feels. I can't tell you there's hope inside that Sixers building right now that he's going to be able to play, but they're not going to know with a guy like Joel Embiid until he gets the arena and sees how he feels. Not one on one, two on two, but with Joel Embiid, it's always about how he feels. Okay, we appreciate it. There's Timberwolves. Anything we need to know about there? And Edwards in. Io Dussumo in right now. I mean, I think this is one of the most physical and competitive back and forth series. I think we're going to get obviously game two was a blowout. But I think as it shifts back to Minnesota, I think we're going to be in for, I think, two very competitive games. Okay, Nick's, O.G. and Annobe. Kendrick Perkins said, let's rest him. Games three and games four. I think you reported he's day to day with a hamstring. What is the actual diagnosis as we sit today? Yeah, I think a lot of people look at a hamstring strain and say, whoa, whoa, whoa, it's not like a day to day situation. But I was told by multiple people that I trust around the situation that this is a tweak of the hamstring. It's considered to be on the minor side of hamstring strains. This is not a severe hamstring strain. So he's going through treatment today. We'll see if he can play today. We'll see if he can play in game four. If he can't play tonight. I think the hope is that this is going to be a game to game day to day thing, not a week long thing, which is good news for the Nicks and O.G. and Annobe. But the good news for them, it's not considered to be a serious strain and he's, he's trying to play tonight. Okay. All right. Well, we appreciate the hell out of you, Shoms. You're even better when we can hear you. Ladies and gentlemen, we're drive by senior NBA insider DSPN, Shoms Shruban. Yeah, Shoms. All right. So you like the Nicks tonight? Yes, I do. And I think I agree with Perk that O.G. said, sit out the next couple of games for sure. Hamstrings tough. Obviously we don't, it looked bad. I mean, anytime you pull up like, it's something like your body's not just doing that for no reason. You can't like tough it out like it's an ankle spray. You roll it in an ankle or something. And he tried to, like right here after he kind of tweaks it, he tries to dive. Yeah, he's awesome. Yeah. We obviously are bummed out for him. If the Sixers win tonight. Then it gets here. Is he back? You know, cause wait a second. Do I want to take the Sixers tonight? No, action Bronson. Give me the Nicks. All right, the next two bridges scary for a little bridges. The bridges Ben Stiller. I mean, Shrags, this is coming to New York by a show. Don't love that. You guys kind of took over our shit. We're out here in Indiana trying to stay away from these coastal elitists. And all of a sudden we got action Bronson acting like he's not a coastal elitist. That was not, he's not supposed to be that likable. This guy's a New York Nick fan. This guy is supposed to be hateable. And then Ben Stiller comes on and goes, I didn't think it was going to be a big deal. Honestly, I did. I don't know what's big deal. I'm not even invited to the fucking mech. I'm trying to go with a friend. It's like, Johnny, are we kind of carrying the New York Nicks water over here because we're kind of becoming a fan of them? Is that Bruce? What the hell is going on with this program over here? And is this partially because of you? You think is that? I will say yesterday when Shraig's was on in a Nick's ball cap and we were FaceTime and Ben Stiller, I did think, wow, we are kind of doing it. Supporting the New York Nicks a little bit. Action Bronson's the man. And Mitchell Robinson is back as well tonight. He missed game two with an illness. He's back. So if Joel and B does not go, then we got two centers and they got one in Andre Drummond and that could become a potential issue that covers up OGB now. Okay, sounds good. I appreciate the optimism coming from the Knicks fans. Action Bronson knows there's a game tonight. I can't wait to see what his picks are. I'm going with the Knicks as well plus a point and a half. Spurs at Timberwolves. How do you see this going, AJ? Who do you like? How do you like it? So I would not mind seeing Minnesota win this game, but with that being said, I think the Spurs will win and cover minus four and a half. Yeah, I think Wemby loves going into that Minnesota. Timberwolves have not lost in Minnesota in like 14 straight or something like that. I forget the number. Tough barn. And they're going to need about 30 out of Go Bear. You're going to need 30 for me. Who do you like? Who do you like? Who get it? I like four and a half. Tommy, who do you like? Which one? I like the Timberwolves here. It's kind of a Spurs always win after a loss. It's just what happens, win and cover. I like T Wolves at home. That place is going to be rocking tonight. All right, I'll go with you guys. I'm on Spurs. I'm going to get that out there. Okay. Foxy, who do you like? Timberwolves. Home court advantage. Bruce, who do you like? I'm on Spurs. Fuck. Although I do love Julius Randall. I'm going with Timberwolves plus four and a half. Great working back there this week, boys. Way to go. Good week, boys. Good week, boys. Graphic design boys. Way to go, GDBs. Way to go, GDBs. Talk, way to go out there. Talk, tell us good stories. Bill, way to go with you too. How about you, Bill? Z, way to go, Z. How about you, Z. To our guests that stopped by, thank you so much. To everybody that sent me a text message telling me happy birthday, thank you so much. Okay. I would like this message right here to be my response to your text message. All week I've tried to slot some time, like, okay, that's when I'll go through the text messages and respond and say thank you so much for the messaging. And then all of a sudden something comes up. Pretty big. You don't need to. We are going to be talking about the text messages. You don't need to. We are in the middle of a gigantic up to something season right now. This might be the biggest up to something season of all time, actually. Probably. Like, actually. It's a lot. A lot has happened very quickly here. I mean, we have found ourselves in quite an up to something season. I mean, we are prime up to something season. We have prepared for this up to something season that's kind of dropped out of nowhere here. It's a lot of phone calls. A lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of shout out to the graphics, making graphics for these phone calls. Shout out to graphic makers on our phones making. Sure. Graphic designs. You have seen some of the work come in through the group text, AJ. I have. Very, very professional. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. It's amazing. We love that we are alive right now. We are very thankful that we get to do this for a living. And this is a massive up to something season. And we hope we get a little bit of grace after this up to something season. We won't. It's announced by people that may be followed along for a while, please. There is no chance. But on that note, we're so thankful for all of you. It's been a hell of a week for us. We hope that you feel the same way. You know, spring, summer, sometimes you can say it's a little bit boring, but I think every morning we wake up very, very excited to celebrate sports alongside all of you. Sports are up into the right. And we're a tiny little piece of it. Big piece of it is because all of you take your time and energy to invest in sport. The greatest thing that's ever been existed. We appreciate you all so much for allowing us to do this for a living. Have the greatest weekend of your life. We'll see you on overreaction Monday. So many things are about to happen over the weekend. By Monday, we have a whole new world potentially with aliens playing on the D line for the Indianapolis Colts. Great work, you two. You too, bro. Great work, AJ. Great work. We go, ha go. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, week. Thank you to my daughter Mackenzie. Thank you for that. And to Ty and their family. Yeah. Be your friends, tell your friends, have a nice and might change your life, we're in this thing together. Thank you. Team on me, team on three. One, two, three. Team. Goodbye. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
