PMS 2.0 1552 - Iman Shumpert, Erik Johnson, Dan Orlovsky, Ronda Rousey

people and welcome to our humble abode the Thunderdome on this sports Wednesday May 13th 2026 this program begins now. Sports are the absolute greatest and I'm fresh off a trip to New York City and I'm gonna be honest I had time my life over there. Hell yeah. Okay I had some Corbones, ZZ's club night one wrapped it up in Emilio's with brother Mario had some incredible Italian got a chance to see incredible people do incredible things. I'll tell you New York the city of Never Sleeps had a lot of question marks on what it was going to be going in there had a wonderful time and I appreciate everybody that I got a chance to see you over there at the Disney Upfronts. What a wild thing that's a Super Bowl that is what that is a place that you would think I would be allergic to certainly not the most comfortable place for me to go to just because of I don't know never really had good relationship with many of those types. A lot of love in the room people were very kind had a lot of drinks with folks a couple of jack-in-diet's with folks I mean we're really doing it I appreciate the opportunity. Peter Harp Street was obviously there coach Saban was incredible Reese Davis fantastic Desmond Howard he had one of the coolest hats and glasses that I've ever seen in my entire life I mean it was just a it was a good time right there as the big pop was happening they did a huge announcement that uh week one game day Baton Ruth obviously Lane Kiffin's debut with LSU week two Texas that's a huge the archmanning obviously getting the boys in there for a high-states travel back down to Austin remember last year Texas traveled up to Buckeye world this year Buckeye world traveling south to Austin game day weeks one and week two have been confirmed and announced that they will be at LSU and at Texas week three though still no announcement on where college game day is going okay I will say this there was a time in my life yesterday where I thought we were definitely announcing only that we were going to LSU Ole Miss when I heard we were going to be announcing game days I was like all right let's just do the one let's just go ahead and announce that we're going to go to that week three two we can all schedule ahead a little bit hey this is coming right around a corner we're going to be down there it's going obviously this is the game this off season that every college football fan is eager to watch and we know everybody in Mississippi is excited to welcome someone back home especially after every new interview drops so I thought that was going to be the announcement then before we go up there I'm told hey we're announcing week one and week two I was like what about week three because I know that's where we're sitting right there like we're not announcing week three I'm like who's not announcing week three like we are we've been told not to and it was just not week one or week two so obviously Herbst Street hears them tell me that 10 minutes before we go up there and Herbst goes you're not going to say that right when I go no I'm not saying anything I look at coach Saban I go don't say anything about week three of College Game Day LSU Ole Miss and coach him goes that's the only one anybody wants right and I'm like don't say it up there on stage we've been told strictly do not say it look at Dez same thing Dez we're not saying it and he goes what I go we're not talking LSU Ole Miss game day definitely happening week three we're not going to do it Dez goes oh yeah yeah no no we're not so as soon as it happens Reese looks over at me okay after weeks one and week two is announced Reese looks directly over at me and I'm reading what the prompter is for what Reese is saying they got a 40 foot prompter in the back of this thing everybody's just reading it I know what it was happening Reese not reading it by the way shout out Reese but also I was not supposed to come to the next I see the name that it's supposed to go to next in the back of the room and Reese goes Pat what do you think about that literally after saying week one and week two and I'm like oh my dude Reese knew week three we're definitely going to be an Ole Miss LSU or whatever you know and there was a good little pop in the back and then I get to the back and I'm like why aren't we talking about there like just right now it's probably not the right time because I'll audience or whatever it up like now is the time yeah we're going down to Baton Rouge week one I cannot wait to get down there suck that see that's kickoff college football season yes it is awesome remember that's another situation where 10 minutes before I go on that stage hey please do not say do not entice them to do the whole suck that you got it you you just put this in here though right before I go up there I think that's not the right decision I've been with me a long time a block they all hit that thing yeah that place is gonna be awesome yes I mean I started getting yesterday as they say this is where announcement and I probably should have known this is where we're gonna head week one or whatever but I just took me back to the last time we were down there and it's like holy hell I can't believe that is what football season delivers and I can't believe that's how it's gonna start then week two down in Austin you got the Buckeyes traveling down there I mean the those two communities coming together down there weather's gonna be nice still very nice down there obviously it's gonna be special and then that week three game the game days we don't know I'm sure okay we do not know the good ones we do not know if game day will be heading down as you will miss yeah I think Auburn's taking on Georgia right yeah and I think Florida State has it yeah there's a couple other options but what we're saying is yesterday was a nice reminder the college football is so spectacular yeah yeah get a chance to be around Dez and Reese and Kirk and coach obviously and just catch up and then they're running clips and Dez did a voice over that was like fantastic it's like I cannot wait for football season on that note we're lucky to be here we're thankful to be here thank you to everybody that took care of us yesterday and the day before that in New York Peter Strager is the king of New York if you need anything you call Shraggs love that okay that is what you need to do I was just walking around it's like hey here's Shraggs in the city and he knows everybody okay he knows everybody you know we were in a milios last night they got 10 tables I don't know how they're open they are there's a line all the way down the street Mario's super handsome kid took care of us last night straight out of back hey he's wearing a suit the whole thing cut out so we did I so Italian Shraggs hooked that up I mean it was just like Shraggs is the plug seemingly for everything so we appreciate you Peter Strager appreciate you Peter Strager the toxic tables here at Boston Connor and one half of the hammer dad cowboys ap tone Ty Schmidt we love your brother congrats to you and the family can't wait to see you soon even though Kirk cheese derby yeah the bull from a guy who takes six months off after the college football whoa used to do for radio that's true why do you find a look into his life huh he did 20 I mean it was something I'm standing there next to him and he's like let's talk about this he it seems like he did want to talk about yeah he did he had the thoughts or he'll do that it had never really popped up for him to have the convo and he said I'm happy we're here what's he gonna do at home well that's the thing Herbie is addicted to work though we think like he does take now he's got some months on the beach now 30 years 30 years but he was her four hour radio show I think six to 10 a.m. local radio for like 22 years or something like that I forget what it was while doing game day and everything else so I think he has just always been kind of a busy body I think he's always been that and I think his wife always like super badass so I assume Kirk comes in was good on she just get out of my face all right let me know if we need anything for the baby you know so I think Herbie thought his best case scenario was potential let me go ahead and work and then everybody else figured out but him basically just saying what are we doing as a species get your asses back to work out there we'd like to say once again to Ty our much time you have our much time you need and we will certainly be excited when Ty gets back we would assume next week that has kind of been standard down here but there's never been formal rules there's never been there is a standard there is a standard is a standard so when Ty comes back next week we will celebrate the shit out of him just like we have been with his family and we'll call Kirk to immediately say hey Ty's back nine year NFL vet Darrys J Butler is here D but I've been loving the Compton Country Club hats different colors good logo huge golf tournament this weekend huge golf tournament this weekend cannot wait I've been shuffling around my fantasy lineup for sure I've been looking at some of the other guys but yes a big one this week I can't wait to talk about it a little bit later today and welcome back man how's your fun up there in New York it was I said this earlier I don't know what my New York minute is I know people say it yesterday was a New York year we I spent a year in New York yesterday that is actually what it was and it was spectacular in big city Bruce hey big city Bruce in the suit he was going through a subway gonna go that way he's doing a lot of these as we're walking around the town watching him just kind of get back into his thing with the suit on because we're also with Foss sure Foss never dresses like super nice had a fashionable dress upy thing on them in the subway doing their thing we we might have won up 200 steps so the subway is down in earth donner to get out of there there's an escalator that goes like this it is like straight up right side of escalator you stand okay everybody's standing single line yeah okay we got it out there and don't be a fat ass either because on the left side everybody's moving yeah so we nobody was moving on this one because the thing was straight up it was like actually straight up and down we were very late to something so we marched that thing I'll tell you if that was a part of my everyday life that would make me much hot New York is very active city I mean these people are walking walking fast that was the most walking I've done in a long long time I mean we were walking on a massive square garden then we're over here hudson guards and then we're over here at the soho house so how so John like was Alma oh you was the so the best members only I was a so yeah I thought that was members only yeah well I'm not a member but maybe so I was sure I was shocked you needed tracks because you had Bruce with you well Bruce Brown I will say Bruce Brown knew his way Bruce Brown I don't think spent a majority of his life potentially meeting the people inside all these okay okay I think I think that's where Shregs has a little upper hand Shregs does know his way around but also he gets to place gets in place and then he shragers in there and then everybody you know he's electric he knows everybody everywhere bingo he's a magnet and all of a sudden hey what do you need yeah you a piece of slice I got a place you go hey we got a tie in milio's got a car by Shregs dealing I don't know how many days he could have done that for him I know I don't know if we would have stayed for 10 days would he had been able to do that every single night with how many things are in New York City a lot of stuff potentially but certainly a two-day span Shregs you're the man we appreciate you shout out to everybody that took care of us the NFL for their hospitality yesterday it was it was a dream now sports continued to deliver you know we said yesterday literally hey this is a huge game for the huge band it is Wemby France's alien okay was putting a situation where you know perks at his game two was a must win but it really did feel like every single game in this particular series is a must win series Wemby did not get any more suspension other than getting kicked out of the game in the second quarter there was no fine either that had some people who I don't really know their angle pissed off Darius J. Bother ridiculous should have been fine to baby it should have definitely been fine I don't mind not being suspended he is a superstar superstars do get treated differently he played and he dominated yeah he certainly did 18 points in the first quarter he went absolutely crazy and then he would continue to do as such Wemby leads the Spurs to an ass beating of the Timberwolves 126-97 now you would think maybe this shifts the momentum towards a big Wemby San Antonio spur title but let's not forget that we're talking about LeBron James they were playing basketball again because that Oklahoma City team just doesn't stop it feels like there's a couple teams in the NBA playoffs and in the NHL playoffs that have been heading shoulders above everybody else and there's been great parody kind of at that second tier but in the playoffs it's a war of attrition who can stay healthy obviously the big layoffs for the Knicks and for the Oklahoma City Thunder and over there in hockey where the Canes are getting like a week that can help you long time or it can make you rusty sometimes joining us now ladies and gentlemen he's a man who played in the NBA forever he's former dance with the stars champion I saw all of them yesterday shout out I saw the entire dance with the stars group Robert Irwin okay great Aussie oh the man great energy great juice the whole crew I had no I I do it I I there there Julian Julian Huff was there um Carl Carlton Alfonso he was there Derek Huff was there the man I mean it was American Horror Stories right over here okay when he low hand walked him up what what freaky Friday two Olivia Rodrigo I completely forgot about that of course completely forgot about that big time asshole I'm 39 years old I apologize for everything that I'm about to say but I do think I was super positive okay walking off stage after we did the game day thing tell you Regis there I thought he did good job good to see him still got black eye wow he really got on it really it was good to see him we moved on as we walk off there is this five bad asses women sit guitar bass just clearly a band yeah sitting backstage very dark though backstage okay big area very dark walk by catch corner of eye okay actually stop back up holy shit you guys look so cool I have no I am so excited to watch you guys do whatever you're about to go do they said thank you and then the bassist told me you better you know I was like all right I will crush it I don't have any songs they played a hundred felt like they were playing forever it was it was an incredible show yesterday it was an incredible show she's got bangers yeah it really it was awesome it was all it was an awesome I wish I'd not have been there but on that note a man that should have been there former NBA champion NBA analyst superstar great to have him back ladies and gentlemen iman shumper my gosh how you doing shump good to see you man how's life over there it's good man you know I'm in LA you know sunshine it's a lot going on it's all right I'll tell you what over here in America too there's a sun coming out you know we're starting to get spring I started a little springy over here New York City was like 65 degrees walking around yeah it was it's a special time obviously and this means the NBA playoffs are cooking right now I saw Jaylen Brunson he's like six two you saw him he's taller I thought he was five four five five well compared to everyone else yeah that's not the case he is six two he's big dude I did not know saw Cooper flagged as well big giant dude these guys the New York Knicks obviously have a little bit of rest right here iman and I was just talking about Oklahoma City also has a little bit of rest and hockey the Carolina Hurricanes have a little bit of rest here in the series and you know anytime you have a best of seven if you get a sweep obviously you get the job done quicker do you think about rusting these moments you think about rest like how do you maintain rhythm if you will and I know I brought up the NHL but I'm going to continue to do it like the goalie over there for the Carolina Hurricanes has been standing on his head just standing unbelievable seeing it now he's away from it for like a week and a half that's like something that could happen in basketball obviously you can get into a rhythm get hot super long time is this good or bad do you think how should we be judging these teams iman as we continue through well it could be good or bad I think that the Knicks and OKC both do a great job of just making sure that they have a rhythm I think whatever you have to do in practice the three on threes the four on fours making sure you're doing full course stuff and keeping guys sharp and getting shots up but the playoffs the best ability is availability so with guys knowing that we did our job in advance and we got our win that we got we need to make sure that health is number one on the on the list so it's about getting treatment it's about getting in the weight room it's about staying sharp watching film and improving yourself in other ways rather than going out there and physically trying to stay in a rhythm and stay upbeat sometimes it's good to just say hey we're just going to do maintenance work we're going to make sure we get our conditioning in but we're not going to do as much five on five because you want to just make sure you're healthy going into the next next series remember O. G. Ananobe had a hamstring in game two didn't play game three game four gets another week he's probably going to be healthy and he's been described as one of the most important pieces of the Knicks let's go to the west Oklahoma City Thunder seemed like a machine anything you see last night from when being dispersed team to make you think maybe this is going to be the Spurs year in the west or is this seemingly inevitable with the Oklahoma City Thunder you think Emon it's going to be a challenge either way I think one thing that you can learn from Minnesota which you know we'd have to take away the first quarter from last game because Wimby just kind of had his way in that first quarter that first half but Minnesota has played him tough and they played him tough in a variety of ways they've done the beat them up tactic where they they just put elbows in them after every play that making sure he hits the floor it's becoming playoff basketball but it's been cool to see Wimby invite that challenge he got up flapping they made him roll his ankle he still got up flapping encourage that no matter what y'all do this is my path uh that's encouraging it's just when you look at the okc thunder it is not just Wimby that's got to go out here and play well they put pressure on your guards every night to defend um they put pressure on your guards to be able to handle the ball and not make any mental mistakes not let them get out there so when when the Spurs are going to be looking at okc they're going to be looking at a mirror as far as their backcourt goes and check doesn't I'm sure he knows that you know Wimby's got an advantage on him but uh I don't think that he's willing to just let things go uh I think they still have that little antics that they have from playing overseas they still got that going on and that's what the people signed up to see yeah you talk about looking in a mirror I mean those two at some point are going to have to get along because there's going to be like similar tailors and shit that they're going to have to deal with you know that whole thing but for now it's going to be great to watch them absolutely battle hey what are the OGs around the NBA and what do you think locker rooms around the NBA thought about Wimby with the elbow I thought it was Wimby saying hey I'm done with the shits that's what I thought without a doubt okay how do you all respond to that is there group texts about this situation from Wimby was there yeah go ahead go ahead oh yeah we've been talking about that but what's what's wild is it's players understand the rules and we understand what we're supposed to complain about in the moment to get the call if you're in the locker room yeah that's a flagrant too he should be ejected next game he shouldn't even play you're just going off the rule book but in all in all our heart of hearts if we're allowed to throw a bow too we wouldn't care and what I what I really want to get back to is understanding that did we all forget that usually the seven footer the seven foot two guy the seven foot whoever the biggest guy is you probably shouldn't poke the bear unless you willing to go in there and lose some teeth like I remember going to the basket a bunch of the times when I was my rookie year especially jumping off one foot either leg and getting thrown into the cameras just because they like we're not gonna keep letting you get hands on the rim young fellow I'm sorry uh it's the same thing when dealing with somebody like Wimby it's just he has such a uh uh a skinny physique that we don't think about it as he's strong it's like he just has long limbs I'm sure that he still can grab dribble him you know cave somebody's chest in he's not just gonna keep allowing people to impose their will on him he's a grown-ass man so I didn't see such a problem I didn't think he was like a malicious person he's sending a message it's just not read happens to not be tall enough to catch that bow in more of the the chest area than the face he's just so tall he didn't mean to hit him in the face he meant to hit him just not in the chin you know what I mean you think you meant to give him right to the chest I didn't even think about this probably a sternum shot this is supposed to be a sternum shot a backup off of me okay yeah that would make a lot more sense actually and his jaw just happening in the way yeah hey yeah hey Wimby's just seven four for a long time okay check check probably my for you to balance my boy was falling too it was he was you know turning back trying to clear a little space you know look chicken wing look chicken wing and Nasrit and Nasrit to give him credit he was the true professional about it didn't make it make sure that you know that play didn't keep going on and on and on he didn't egg it on he didn't cry he didn't go out here in interviews and start begging for more I respect everything about the way he came out for this last game and said hey man I'm gonna play you tough I definitely remember the chin shot he he definitely had plenty of plays after the play where he threw a little extra one at Wimby and Wimby honestly kept it in all fairness he kept it real and said you know what I hit you in the chops I expected that you know what I mean I love that about that and then the referees I'm gonna clap it up for them too yeah that's right because they just sat there and watched it yeah y'all sat there and watched the whole thing I'm full I love that playoff basketball it's supposed to go up a level they supposed to hate each other for 48 minutes and y'all allowed us as fans to enjoy that so shout out to the referees from last night yeah it just feel a little old school done it you go to the weight room yeah there's no jersey swapping yeah there's no jersey swapping around here we're throwing bows right now the NBA's got a little money chilling it and then you talk about the refs the NBA refs letting kind of NHL ref like yeah he's gonna have to get him back when yeah let's know tonight Nas is gonna do something we know that's gonna happen right yeah something and then we'll tell him immediately afterwards okay that's it all right here we go yeah let's get to you all I like that hey the NBA kind of swinging a hot back yeah kind of old school yeah yeah hey who's the lamb beer yeah we're looking for the new lamb beer coming through I can already see him getting excited let's go to the east shall we with a man who likes the new school game with a little limited contact but yeah game five tonight in Detroit this series we I hear you NBA guys always say the series doesn't start until you still won on the road both teams have been holding down home court game five pisses are favored by four and a half points how do you see this game and the rest of this series going well it depends it's going to be interesting to see how the Cavs respond I think excuse me uh yeah the Cavs have figured out that Donovan Mitchell throughout a game can keep you trained on the tracks I've said it before because of Donovan's ability to score the ball in so many different ways you can trust him throughout the game but it becomes extremely difficult to set your team up for success not knowing which way he wants to go or what he wants to do at the end of game it's much easier as a player on a team to say hey our guy has the ball and he's either going to get to the left elbow or the right elbow for this shot but I now know all the cuts and all the screens I could set in you know in on the court without getting into his way without messing up spacing without bringing my man to him for a double uh I think that has to be James Harden's job they figured that out the last couple of games James Harden also figured out if I have more fgms than to's then we're going to win the game it's a numbers game you know I'm saying as long as he gets up field goal attempts and puts him up there high enough with enough art they'll land somewhere around the rim and Jared Alley can go out there and be a responsible adult Evan Mobley can go out here and go get the rebounds be the footer that he was always meant to be yeah it's like you know how to do it uh it just at the end of game especially you have to be in that same position uh as a driver if you're James Harden to say hey I can get to any spot on the floor I can make anything happen and I'm gonna keep my turnovers down down to Mitchell still allowed to be aggressive you can go out there and have three or four turnovers doesn't bother me much when James Harden takes care of the ball and makes sure that they're successful especially at the end of games this calf seems dangerous but they only can go as far as James Harden can figure it out at the end of game. James on crazy a couple of nights ago. Yes he does. It is still in there and then afterwards the interview of him saying what chatter just trolling everything yeah awesome. I love it. James Harden still got his fastball and I uh I hope he shows it because a Cavaliers run against the Knicks would be fantastic. It's gonna put me in a bad spot. Don't even tell me. Yeah yeah yeah we'll have your ass on TV. Hey we're gonna put you on for two hours straight make you piss off everybody. Gotta get past the stones. Let's talk about these yeah number one at Raw Seed is the stones obviously picking an alcohol head tone. Yeah Sean obviously the Knicks are hot. They were shooting incredible and then you have like we just talked about Cavs and Pistons left. Now when you look at the odds the favorites are still to win the title are the Spurs and OKC before you get to anyone in the East. Do you think that's right? Like do you think whoever comes out of the West should be the favorite and does anyone in the East have a chance match up wise against either the Spurs or OKC? I mean it's a it's a clear reason why the favorite would be in the West. The one wrinkle is prior to us all making these playoff predictions and everything that was going on when we right after All Star break when we was all putting in our picks of what we thought this would be. The Knicks decided that they were gonna play through Carl Anthony Towns and honestly it intrigued me because it calls for teams to have to adjust. There's one is one thing to have to adjust to a guard but you have a team full of guards that can defend but they've never had to deal with quite anything that goes through besides Yolkich. They would have to they would have had to deal with Yolkich but I think the way the Knicks are playing it kind of makes cat the Yolkich of the East so to speak. I'm not saying they're the Sam just saying playing through them him being able to make the late pass. I think it becomes a different match up than we once thought if OKC has to see the Knicks. I think that would be the the best viewership. I'll tell you that it would be the best chance. We know if the Knicks are in the viewership is going to be up. We saw people everywhere. We're walking around New York. There's people everywhere. I mean you know there ain't nowhere with nobody. No everywhere. Everybody's Big Apple. I just get nervous. I get nervous when I see Detroit even though Detroit and Cleveland can match up when you start saying matching up with the West they have those lapses in time that they can't score. Detroit has those lapses in time that they don't know kind of what to do and they only can live through Cade and if Cade starts turning the ball over against the OKC against the San Antonio it's just lights out really quick. The way you can come back in the East is not that simple in the West. So when I look at it I look at the match up and say I hope that the Knicks have to if it's OKC I hope the Knicks have to do that match up because that's what I want to see and then vice versa with the Spurs coming out I would hope that you get to see it against Detroit because I think that matchup would be good. I like what you just did there. You put a lot of teams into the finals. You did good. Yeah that was a good job. It was good. I'm just saying as a basketball fan. Yeah as a basketball fan. Hey listen to other basketball fans I do see your team in the finals. That was an incredible work right there. You know he didn't rule anybody out. No. We love to see Spurs make if they piss in the big great way. I'd love to see Ant-Man. Ant-Man just sent me shoes. I got shoes. Ant-Man sent me like 10 pairs shoes man. Make sure y'all go get the eighties dog. Yeah absolutely. I got some Timberwool blue ones. Yeah what size. What size are you man. What size. I'm a 14. 14 to walk 15 to hoop. You know what I'm saying. He sent me both two just in case I want to mix it up. I don't know. Never know. Yeah never know. Size 12 Ant. Size 12 over here. I would do 12. 12. 12. 12. I think I was. 11. 11 to the back. I think there's an 8 and a half two. Gumpy would love some. 11 to walk. 12 to hoop. Okay that was really gumpy. Yeah yeah 13 to hoop. Okay speaking of hooping for a long time and obviously you know him very well. There's a wild conversation happening right now that I just can't in any any way could that be the ending of that particular story. Go ahead Con Moon. Yeah Sean by we know Jordan's your gopa LeBron got you your ring and it feels as though the dialogue right now helps you get your help. Yeah it feels like the dialogue right now just is completely ridiculous this whole entire you know is LeBron done. Is this it and this is ESPN so obviously we have to bring it up. Are we not actually though like we're not we're not we're not contract because I just walked out of Disney actually keep keep reading the teleprompter. No we don't have a teleprompter please. No one has no way right there. It just wouldn't make sense for us to talk basketball. See it's not a promsword if you can see it in the wide view. It's just programs so we know for a lot. It's just a TV. I get all my lines way before the show starts. No that is not how this goes. But if we're talking about LeBron is it ridiculous to think like hey one this guy is not going to step away without a retirement tour. Two he deserves one for everything he's done for basketball for the game. And is it more so a conversation of do you think LeBron is going to go back to the Lakers. Do you think he might kind of go year 24 somewhere else maybe back to Cleveland. What is kind of your whole entire read on the LeBron situation because it does feel as though his time in the Lakers is done especially with them having to pay a lot of guys. Yeah I think that with the cap well I'll say this first as far as the retirement tour goes I don't think LeBron's focus is at all on a retirement tour. I don't think he needs one. I think that you can grow to appreciate LeBron's career in a number of ways. He knows that he knows he's one of the most visible people to walk the earth. It's not something that he's going to come back so that he can be celebrated. I really don't like that narrative getting pushed. I think that if he comes back it's going to be because he smells like he I mean he feels like he can smell another championship in the future. LeBron is a winner. He's a person that always wanted to be around winning. He preaches a winning culture all the time. You know have to like the way he does it all the time but that's what his goal is and that's what's in mind at all times. So I can't imagine him going back to the Lakers because one I think the cap spaces off and I don't think he needs to take a pay cut after proving to the rest of the world age is nothing but a number and he still can be one of the most efficient players in our game. I think that's what I'm saying. For him to be able to go out there and you know average above 20 still be able to rebound jump on the floor for a loose ball. Yeah I don't think he should take a pay cut and with that being said I think that you know if you can you know figure it out with the payment plan and Cleveland you know why not. Okay all right. If you can figure it out even more go to go to state play with Steph Curry because I ain't gonna lie I can't act like watching them playing USA wasn't just like wow that was great basketball. Wow. He could get KD up there too probably if they wanted. You can get the Olympic team. You get the Olympic team if you want it. Because remember we were watching Olympic games you know and we were up early and it would turn into Kevin Durant hitting 27 straight points. Yep. You know whenever he wanted to just go ahead and take a game of stuff. And then Steph going crazy LeBron doing his thing. Dreymons in there setting pitch. Shangela said Jimmy buckets. Oh yeah. That's too much. That's too much firepower. Why don't you go play put those hands on get your ass back in there maybe get another ring. Hey man listen that's it. You know I just need a VSCO shot of two gold the Japanese real quick. Get it now man. They know they can call me. I never retired back. I don't retire now. It's either they called me or they didn't you know what I'm saying. Yeah did you do Big Three or anything like that. Have you ever played any other. No no no I haven't I haven't yet. Would you do people talk about that because it feels like we've seen a lot of guys go over there. Still who. Yeah people do. Yeah I do. I just I was literally supposed to do some you know some health stuff and get a surgery and didn't want to get it and then just messed up my timeline to play in it. At some point I'll get it done and go out there. Okay so you're going to be playing in Big Three at some point. That's cool. Any other news that we need to forget here Emon. Are we doing anything. No man they just need to watch the Shum Street pod man you know every Monday we doing the Shum Street pod baby that's all we talking basketball to play off his own. I am unimportant. You're the best ladies and gentlemen great from the Shum. Emon Shum. I like that. Shum Street is a good name. Yeah great name. It's about the basketball. Yeah I love that. Sports sports. Him talking about the brawn and he's saying he's saying the same thing everybody else is saying. Cleveland because I don't think if he was to play one more year just put on a random jersey would be weird. Like that would be a weird thing to do. And now who knows if he's only playing one more year. We saw him this year. He looked unbelievable. And who knows if he's playing at all. I mean he has earned that right. He's 41 years old. But it's like if he was to put on a Cleveland Cavaliers jersey again and go back with Donovan Mitchell and maybe take them over the hump again. That'd be a great way to kind of wrap up an entire story if you're LeBron James and this has been a movie obviously. He's been there. I think the cookies thing kind of soured the money. He's always wanted to play with stuff. Sure his wife loves always wanted to play. That's if he was to go to Golden State I think he would put I think it would be multiple years. I think that would be a two year thing. I think personally I don't think you'd want to just do a one year headed New Jersey personally just from the LeBron. This is me as fan watching. I know nothing about nothing. They just signed Steve Kerr to another two year deal. Okay so Steph is I think Steph's on the same timeline. Probably two years. Yeah so and Steph's never been swept. So if he goes there then he probably won't get swept. Braun going up to Golden State and just going that was a shot. Yeah. I was just talking about the positives of going out. That was a shot. It was an unnecessary shot. I didn't hear what you're saying because that my mind just immediately went to LeBron James going up to where all those billion dollar companies are created up there and just becoming a percentage owner of all the rich Paul bouncing his way around the what is that? So Steph on that. The amount this guy would be a bazillionaire if he was to go up there. Not Steph Curry isn't. Steph Curry is as well. I think that's one of the benefits of being up there. But LeBron one of the most savvy business people obviously Michael Jordan shoes are the most savvy business move of all time shot to David Falk. I just watched something with him in there in the entirety. But like rich Paul would figure out a way. Okay. To figure out Golden State's area not just on the court but also off it. And if he was to be the guy that could just kick that thing out to Steph. I mean LeBron loves passing the ball. That is why people judge him against Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan would take that shot. It's like LeBron actually he like views himself kind of as he got a little magic. He thinks he's a little bit. Yeah we know he's six nine and can just kind of run over anybody anytime he wants. But he likes the show him kicking to Steph and then Steph hitting them all turning and running at the same time. Like that would be a show. Jimmy should be healthy by then. Me. Orzingis is still on the roster I believe. I'm going for this all of a sudden. Pacers too. Okay. Let's not talk. I don't want to see him on another team man. I don't want to see another Jersey. I think it's kind of sweet. Like I can't see a one year Jersey. That's a weird thing. That feels like a like that just doesn't feel like a good ending. Absolutely. Unless they want a title I guess. Yeah. And I do think it would be a multi year thing. But like staying in the West and granted if they go to the Warriors they become you know probably one of the top favorites. But the West is just so stacked like and I don't want this to happen to myself. Third best. But like if you were to go to the Knicks how cool that would be like we're talking about by far the most crazed fan base in the NBA. I think we see that every single time they play. Like if you were to go play at the Mecca I think that would be really cool. Cleveland would be cool too. I think Miami would be cool too. Like going back to his old teams. Yeah Pacers I don't know. Probably his number but like one of those spots I could see Boston as well. And I'm being dead serious just because of what Shump just said like winning culture all that stuff like Joe Missoula and everything he's given praise both to the sun and moon I'm sure but to Joe Missoula as well just about how you know he's giving praise at the temple of the sun. Okay. Yeah. The temple of the moon. I've been there. Don't follow. Check the time. Mexico. Shets in Tibet. This Joe you follow. This Missoula. He's bogeyboarding. Crocodile. Oh okay see 18 degrees. It's hard for me getting on the same page. I'm gonna say it. I'm gonna say it. I don't want to sound braggadocious but I've had I just want to say New York a year New York years today. I faced time with action blunts in yesterday. Okay. Had a couple drinks. Had his phone number. Cold FaceTime to action Bronson. Let's see. Yeah why not. He answered. He was with a jazz band. He said I'm doing jazz. I said of course you are. Yes. I started laughing. I said are you guys playing. He goes yeah let me play you something puts the phone down. Okay. A full jazz band starts playing. Okay. He has a microphone. And his studio or is there a little his apartment. It. There was a restaurant. There was a lot of music. There was a lot of what I mean we're talking maybe in about that. Yeah so it was a little bigger room. I assume it would be a studio. I don't know if he was recording what he said to be. He showed up. I mean it was immediately one into a minute 30 freestyle about everything from going to next games on mushrooms to being unstoppable. I mean it was with the jazz band in the back and then somehow I don't know if they had rehearsed this. There's no way they could if there's no way that he had thought of those words he was saying before he was saying them in that exact moment. They were dropping the beat whenever he was in there. This is all in a face time on the back of a car going from one event to the next. People in the car Bruce sitting up there Bruce immediately turns out. It was so sick turns around turns his camera on obviously other people in the car. So is this fucking real. And I have to tell him. Yeah you're being filmed right now. Who cares. Let it run. You know just. It was outrageous. He just released a video I think on his Instagram with that jazz band. Okay. There's a chance he's kind of piecing it together. It was it was a wild run. It was a wild run. But to your point about the New York Knicks fans. They are. Yes. They are wild. It's the only thing missing right now from the playoffs is because they swept the Sixers. We haven't had like the Knicks going nuts which will bode well for the Eastern Conference Finals but still like they are a genuine attraction I'm sure for every quarter. Yeah. So many people all over the place. That is the crazy you know you get reminded I haven't been New York for a while. You're so big. So big. It is. I know the New Yorkers is probably yeah. Yeah. Of course it is. And people that live in the coast whatever you forget you forget whenever you don't go there that your city is a part of a part of a part of the city. And it's just humans everywhere. It was it was it was perspective. And then you realize like oh like 80 percent of these people are Knicks fans. Oh yeah. Like this is there. The Knicks are their team just naturally they're going to be Knicks fans. Nets I know they're in Jersey. We ran into old Alex grew up in Jersey. No Aaron maybe I forget the kids name. Somebody came up to me from Jersey loves the Nets. And I'm like why don't you know what's the point. I said why don't you just cool. You could just go over. They love the jets to they did the Nets have won more recently right. Yeah but it feels like a champion if you're in the New York area everybody is a Nick fan. Like it just feels like that is kind of the thing. It feels like you kind of are in it. And with how many people there that's why whenever the Pacers knock out the Knicks last year like the TV networks going to hate this you know. And it's like yeah I think losing that city's interest is certainly something but the numbers in basketball were just fine because if New York is to continue to ride it's like I think the NBA numbers are only going to be outrageous and Adam Silver is going to do that. And they say like the the networks only care about that. It's like no what the Knicks are doing right now not good actually. They want best of seven. They would like the biggest thing for networks is we best of sevens to not be sweeps like that. We are paying for three extra games in return hoping to get this. You're losing that. So the conversation of like are they rooting for New York. It's like well if the people are from New York and on TV they certainly are. And obviously that's a massive amount of people that will certainly continue to fall because they're all Knicks fans over there. But also it's like the game has a chance to. NBA is in a good spot I think. Great spot. And this is without the Pacers. Like I've seen a lot of that too. Like the thing that's missing this year from the playoffs is what the Pacers and Tyrese did last year. I mean they won seven games with the Knicks. I do think the other part of the LeBron thing that we're not thinking of is the two expansion teams. Like you do genuinely wonder if that there is you know some sort of draw to a Vegas for LeBron whether that was out on that right. Said he was out on the ownership part but if it was the first time ever with the team and they're building a whole new team and they get some sort of you know bonus and grant I don't know if that's immediate or next year but yeah it has been a hugely successful playoffs at least I think for the NBA. Yeah I've enjoyed it the NHL has delivered as well. We're very thankful for all sports that are happening right now including how the bull riding go. Those bulls are fucking the champ I think still going on. Dimbles we fucking the shit out of those bull riders. I mean these are the best bulls on earth right now. Couple I think there's a couple rodeos I've seen down in Mexico that had some good bulls. Yeah I think the PBR had their eyes on them probably recruiting them. Still going on seven to the 17th. Okay so we're in the middle of the PBR World Championship right now. Yeah okay let's pay attention to that. PJ championships this week. Let's go ahead and enjoy the hell out of all of that right now. Rory's got a blister on his toe. Yeah. Rory's got a blister on his toe. I don't know if the blister was under his toenail. Pinky toe I believe was the report. The pinky toe is always the problem with these shoes. I mean it will always get you. Hopefully this is not a problem. If your base is not good though especially with how Rory swings could certainly affect them so we'll keep our eyes on the blistery toes of Rory McElroy throughout the rest of the week as we head into another massive weekend of golf at the PGA Championship and the NFL is always cooking. Yes it is. Schedule release is tomorrow night. A lot of games have been leaked including all of the internationals. Joining us now ladies and gentlemen is a man who's always on the television talking about ball. Rory's always on a stage talking about life. Ladies and gentlemen Dan Orolowski. Yeah Dan Orolowski. Well Dan coming from a barn where are you pal? I am in Richmond Virginia. This is an old train station that I from what I've been told is the old train station but also the present day train station so I think it is the old train station. Yeah that is used for like big events in Richmond now but also the train literally still does come 20 feet behind me so. Okay like that. Did you ride in on the train or? No I flew this morning from New York 52 minutes. That's a good flight. That's a good flight so maybe hop on one of those trains and just one way ticket especially if you're going to keep putting out these emo tweets. Dan hey these tweets are just guess the only option is just keep keep working and then he hops on that train. You can see it can't it? Shows up gets one ticket. Yeah guess the only option is just keep working. And then I think they're just going. Fudges man. All right. What's wrong with that tweet? Nothing dude don't worry about it. It's all of us are just worried about you all of a sudden suzanneb is because there's nothing cryptic about it I think honestly I was probably on the car ride or waiting for my plane and watching me being honest probably watching some Instagram reels and like motivational stuff popped up and I just like played your. Fudges done. All right I get it. Okay and then let's go to your most recent tweet shall we just two names with the word and in middle of it and just say hey world. Guess where I'm going. Jared Goff and Jordan Love. Okay so Dana let's start here. Jared Goff and Jordan Love. Well I saw that Bart Scott I believe on get up this morning said that he could see that Kyler's the best quarterback in the division at the end of the year and I'm just like did has Jared Goff and Jordan Love are they not playing in the NFC North anymore. Yeah Caleb. But I think those guys are more accomplished than than Caleb as you know Caleb obviously has a chance to take a big step in year three but. Got you and did they just read this. Do you have a deal with them. Whoa whoa whoa tone tone tone that's not. That's not true. That's not true. Okay so just reiterate because I was asking you about this whole stuff. You said Kyler Murray. I said Caleb was more successful than Kyler Murray. Yep I did. Fascinating. No no no no dude Kyler Murray's played like a top five quarterback multiple times in his career maybe not over the course of the full season but he's had probos two month stretches. Kyler has been a top 10 quarterback for the majority maybe top 12 quarterback for the majority of his career. So you'd rather have him over Caleb moving forward. Good question. Who's more accomplished though. Hold on. More accomplished. No. It would be Kyler. Just he's played longer. Yeah more opportunities but to Tones point that's that's a great question. Would you rather have Caleb or Kyler. Kyler got to win a QB competition coming up. I would take Kyler right now going forward over Kyler but with Ben Johnson Kyler with 7 O'Connor we have not seen. Two great play callers. Holy hell. Good TV Dan you're doing a great job. But D. but if you were ranking the NFC North quarterbacks one through four right now. Who are you putting at one. You're putting Jared golf at one. I would put golf at one. Love that too. And that would be a clear one too for me. And then there would be a gap in my like honestly belief and then I would go Kyler at three Caleb at four. Now you know what I go Caleb at three Kyler at four. We just made all the answers. We all came to the same kind of conclusion there. Yeah I think I think Caleb in love for me would be sitting right next to two way to be maybe sitting right next to each other for me. And then Kyler. You put Caleb in love on the same plane the same tier. I think so. What are we ranking for what they've done or what they're doing. Good to do. I think it's a little bit of everything. What they've done is not fair because one is probably played I think three seasons longer. So that's not like a real. We got to do. We need the tears. We got to do the tears. So we just know. Yeah I agree. We're going to we're don't want to just fall into every internet trend. OK. We have stayed away from that pretty good at this particular program. Nobody talks about it but you've never seen us dance. You haven't seen it. We don't we are on the internet but we very much understand what we should be doing what we should not be doing. OK. We're not good at this. This is what other people are good at. The tiering thing that has been happening on the internet forever in the quarterback tiers in the titles of what the tiers are having great internet for me to follow. We have never participated. We are going to do it. We have to do it. Are you going to make your own tears like we're doing all of them. We're doing all of them. We're going to do the entire thing. Who's in the top tier. Who do you got in top tier in the entire NFL. Dan or Lofsky. There's two of them. No there's more than two of them. I think that there's the tears you got. Bro just hand out all these tears. Three. No you need at least five to six tears. At least three of them. You're not doing it right. Yeah you do. Yeah you do. Jaylin Hertz Super Bowl winner but now where are you going to put them in the entire. You win with Jaylin Hertz. So your tears are win with can't win with win because because of your tears are stupid. I don't like you doing that. Win in spite of. OK. Your tears going to be. We have six of them. Stop Brian. Keep working. Yeah that's one of them. Sucks. That's going to be down here at the bottom. Young and really good. But we don't know yet. Going to get somebody fired. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of potential. Can't win Super Bowl. At the elite. Yeah. Yeah. And what if we put all 32 in one and we just decided to leave the others. Yeah we can do that. OK. Our tears. But we Jaylin Hertz and who. Who is the other. Darnold Sam Darnold. Jaylin Hertz and Sam Darnold both Super Bowl winners. OK. Great football. Great football. But if you're a tearing like you obviously got Patrick Mahomes and Stafford Josh Allen Lamar. Lamar Jackson Joe Burrow I guess is right there underneath Joe Burrow. Got my home. Stafford top shelf. I think that's what we had. And then we had Lamar and Josh. Yeah. And then we said is Herbert in the same as Hertz and Darnold even though they won a Super Bowl and Herbert hasn't come close. Yeah. So then we have a lot of guys that haven't really had success all in one tier. They're like maybe. I'm into this. Yeah. And then you got Sam Darnold and Jaylin Hertz above that group because they won a Super Bowl. But they're definitely not yet at this point. What do you do with Bo and Daniels or Jane Daniels Drake. Drake made. Yeah. Drake made as you follow in the Joe Burrow because they both Trevor Lawrence Burrows done the war. That might be stock up into the right. But it's down here. Where's that. Jared. Goof. Herdy. Which one is that. Is that the same as Hertz and Darnold. Or is he in the Herberton. Yeah. See this one. We're tearing. We should do a whole show on this. We should do a whole show. Where's Joe Flacco go. That's not a question. Oh yeah. We do have an old tier. Yeah. Oh my God. The old one Flacco's in the old one. But you know obviously Aaron would be pissed as soon as he saw that we didn't put him in one of the top tiers. The rightful. So we will have the old tier positioned outside of the tier. It'll be higher up in the tiers. But it will be because Baker. Yeah. Oh yeah. Exactly. Where are you putting him. When with. Yeah. We're not doing your. We're doing these tears. Remember you said in the middle of our tears. I want to be apart of your tears. I'm just Baker below. I'm intrigued or same or similar to Sam Darnold. Baker I would put I would put in the same tier but you have to put them below because Sam won it but I would put them as the same very similar type of player. Yeah. So there's there's one right there. That's like Herbert. Jordan Love Jordan Love. Yeah. He's your crowd. So packed here packed here because I think we don't know. Yeah. I think it's like good. We all think they're very good but are they going to climb up the ladder. We don't know. Super Bowl champions have to be above them because they've already done it. And even May and Burrow where it's like hey they have gotten there but May only has done it one year. Burrow he's been kind of in and out of injury and he's also missed the playoffs multiple times. It's very tough to tear it's tough to tear. Maybe what are you doing over there in the train station. We never even asked back in a lip. Are you potting. Yeah. What are you going to get zin in right now. Is that you're getting a little bubble gum bubble gum bubble gum. I have a couple things. One what I'm doing here is I'm doing a speaking engagement. I speak. Nice. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. So I have to do that and I'm on a 5 30 flight flight home tonight. Oh my second thing is no dip. I've dipped once in my life. I think I've given you guys a story. My third thing I am interested is do you think that there's NFL general managers. Honest questionnaire because the quarterback value or the quarterback annual contract is very high. We know that you know like there's quarterbacks a lot of them. I don't know how many making 50 North or north of 50. I know the cap keeps growing but we just watched Seattle with the quarterback that makes 30 million that allowed more money to go to the roster. Not rookie quarterback value but a mid quarterback value. Baker to go to the roster. Yeah. Like I wonder if there's general managers sitting there going I actually like unless I have a Patrick or Josh and there's only four of them. I'm not going to pay them. I'd rather pay a guy that I think is in that mid tier range 30. I'm in their interchangeable parts to me and I'll build up the roster around. I think that's a better super bowl recipe. Yeah. Because then you're using the rookie quarterback thing but just not exactly a rookie quarterback. It's been happening to me like Sam Darno did happen for obviously because he had already had high aspirations big contract and then fell off second chance still getting great money. Let's go ahead and take that money and go ahead on with our life. Kirk Cousins got 180 down there in Atlanta. If it would have worked for him people would obviously had some questions but if you think about like the deal that Baker Mayfield signed it's not correct forever they can still work with it. I think they're going to be trying to negotiate that in a lot. Tom Brady obviously with what 20 million or something like that. Yeah. Drew Brees was like 20 million. Aaron's working on a 10 million dollar deal. Now these guys have all been paid. Yeah. But it also does help the roster immensely if you can spend a little bit more money on the old line. We get eight million bucks. That is very good for starters. Yeah. Very good. This is going to come up with CJ Stroud and Bryce Young like it happened with Trevor and they go and they paid Trevor. Okay. Now is there buyers remorse. I don't know. Maybe at the beginning of last season but then he played really well towards the end of the season. But then when CJ and Bryce come up like there's this thing in the NFL where it's like the next quarter back up. It doesn't matter if they're better than Josh Allen and Lamar or not. They have to get paid more to them for some reason. Right. That's happened. That's because they got great game tomorrow for the next generation. Yeah. I'm just saying like when is it going to stop. When is what is it going to stop. When are these guys staring down a young quarterback. Pittsburgh next few years in this entire. Why hasn't there been those 10 year deals though. Like the eight is the most. Okay. Seven or eight. I think seven or eight is the most. Remember Patrick Mahomes's deal was announced. Exactly. And we were told it was 10 years. 500 million. Yeah. That's where it's on. Then it came out. It was a seven year 41 million dollar average every single year and they're tinkering with it every single year. It's like we don't know what's real. What isn't real. But we do know that if the quarterback doesn't get the top of the market you can build a team. If quarterback gets top of the market they're going to have to win a Super Bowl. Like that is just how and you just have to be your drafts have to just be flawless. You know it's it there is more wiggle room obviously I just think with watching how Seattle did it. How a Roseman has done this right. I think the Eagles two Super Bowls have been with quarterbacks of rookie contracts right because Wenz was on his rookie deal when Foles won it. I think Hurst was paid. Jaelyn was paid after loss of the Super Bowl. They won the Super Bowl after getting paid but they might have kicked that money down and they had all rookies on their D line. Yeah. So it's just like I wonder if some general managers are saying they're saying my quarterbacks are really good player like he's a he's a top 15 player but there's top 15 quarterbacks right because the quarterbacks that live between eight and 15 are kind of the same guy. They are. I believe that 100 percent. You're saying they're they're kind of swappable. Anyway we got to get to a break. You got to get to a speech. Think about that tear on your 52 minute flight back home. I'm in. All right. You're the man. Ladies and gentlemen that's Daniel Lovsky. We'll see you on your side. All right. Thanks for joining us. We'll see you on our next additional call. Visit activate.espn.com to learn how to access your account or sign up then start streaming in the ESPN app. It's all the ESPN all in one place. Sign up or activate now. Sports are the greatest and obviously we're so thankful that we get a chance to chat about it every single day. The talk to table is here at Boston Connor in one half of the hammer. It's a little short sleeve hoodie thing. Yeah. It looks short sleeve but it's actually just a full sleeve. It just kind of caught the time. Oh really. Maybe the pilots are swinging a hot bat right now. They are. Oh they are. And is their pitcher the greatest of all time. The guy that won a national championship at LSU a guy who is a freak show on the mound a man who has changed baseball in Pittsburgh immediately upon arriving as a rookie. Paul Skeens is only getting better somehow. Every time it's Skeens bump day you can go to 6 7th inning. He's throwing no hitter. That's the new thing. You got no hitter happening. No hitter happening. We got no hitter happening and it's not just no hitters. We got Dyson happen. I mean it is a full show when he's on the mound and the pirates might be good. Baseball is actually kind of hot right now. Yeah. Buccos are 23 19 if they face the hardest schedule so far in the MLB. So things are looking up there. It was Skeens day yesterday. Well Skeens night last night. He is now off back to back starts where he has gone eight eight innings with no earn runs. This is the in the seventh. That was to break up the no hitter. O'Neill Cruz dove couldn't make the play. He made a diving play later in the inning to get Paul out of the thing. So that was awesome. And Paul like Paul just looks like he's having so much fun out there after this. O'Neill came into the dugout. Paul was all smiles. He gets it. But back to back starts eight innings pitch no one runs. He's setting records that hasn't been done since the early 1900s. He is absolutely absurd right now. He struck out the first six batters last night before the seventh batter decided screw that. I'm going to bunt which Paul laughed at to he just feels like he is in a really really good place. I guess Paul also said nice bunting. He gets caught on camera saying nice bun or whatever. And he goes in afterwards. He said I don't talk to the opponent. I was probably just saying you guys are good lip readers. He said he gave a nice compliment. And then he said I was probably just saying it to myself like I strike out six and a guy goes a bun. I end up picking them off. Anyways nice bun. It's like Paul Skeens is a machine like he is an absolute machine. And I think the cone all there's there's hoisting brother. I think I think the welding mask. I think the vibes the young team. It's amazing what can happen whenever you get a superstar on the squad. And Paul Skeens has changed what the Pittsburgh Pirates have used to do and what they're about to become. And I love that they're building roster. Are we going to win all because I heard the Dodgers stink. Oh the Dodgers stink. Dodgers have lost four in a row by four plus runs which hasn't happened for them. I believe in what is that 90 years ago. What. Yeah. July 19 36. So they're on bit of a skid right now. Shohei did pop out of his skid last night. He had a home run. He ended his Homerless streak. But that didn't matter. They still won. He's on the mound tonight. He's been unbelievable pitching so we can see if they can get the Dodgers can stop their skid tonight. Love that ice cubes on the Mike is Shohei gets off a little bit of a shine of a run there. Shohei obviously pitching very well. The hitting had suffered while he had been pitching well. A lot of people said see see not going to be able to do both. Shohei will be able to figure it out as we believe the Los Angeles Dodgers will have as well. Yeah. Anytime again back to 100 years away. That's a long time. That's a long time. And obviously their fans are very passionate bunch over there. Speaking of getting off the side. Cow roll. He did. Let's go. This guy was having a worst season in history of baseball. He was on a 0 for 38 stretch before that hit last night in the seventh. He also had a hit in the ninth. So he had two hits last night in the seventh and the ninth. He was 0 for 36 before this game started the night before last sorry two nights ago after that game when he was 0 for 36 he went into the shower and his full uniform. The team made him do that. It's kind of you know just get all the stink off the uniform or everything. Everybody peeing a bucket. Exactly. Putting the jersey in there. Go sleep in it. Anything kind of get us on a different you know because they got rally baseball has a lot of this shit. Underwear baseball has a lot of these things. Whenever you're on the road for a long time and you're together and you're living off of you know streaks and then droughts and it's all you can find yourself becoming very superstitious. I think baseball sets up to be a super duper stitious sport. Yes. I think it's been mocked and ridiculed in a lot of movies but I think it does become a thing. I didn't know just putting jersey on taking a shower makes you have a hot bath the next day. Everybody's going to put that in their back pocket now and when those bats get cold you're going to see a lot of linen in a lot of showers around club houses. D. but you know what I kind of been all in on the baseball stuff since WBC. We start playing Thunderball. I saw something last night in Alfa. I didn't even send it in. I saw C.C. Spathia. It's too nice to go. Yeah. I may not. Maybe I don't bat baseball culture after seeing this. Somebody scour the Internet. It was it Orioles. No it was the giant. It was the giants. Okay. And you know when you win a baseball game your outfielders come together. Celebration. They were knocking knobs. Yeah. Sorry. I don't know what you're talking about there. Guy. I just thought about you start guys. Closest to camera. Yeah. Guy closest to camera. He was really going. Yeah. I felt like he was the one that was the stir that was the straw that was really stirring the drink. He felt like he was trying to go make contact with the lab. See he was the most. I think that was two nights ago. Okay. They got cups on. What's going on. The boys can't. They got PP wax. They're not They were told. They were told. Hey we're not doing the tummies. Okay. We're not doing that anymore. But they said if they're going to do it Gilbert. So I'm going to make sure I get it all. Yeah. And I appreciate that. No. No. Let's not talk about. But they won a game. Let's not talk about the boys kind of bumping bumping here a little bit. Yeah. Bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump. Gilbert was saying that. So they got real hard. Let's not talk about this outfielder operation. Let's talk about friend of the program. Mm hmm. Guy now has 12 doctors. Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen. P. Crow Armstrong center fielder. Ha ha ha ha ha. Where's the wall. Who cares. Bang. Give me that. Yeah. They're talking about stats on this. The amount of feet that he covered how fast he went in the entirety. I guess this guy they're saying best defensive player in ball. That's what they're talking about. So whenever we mentioned doctors to him and he said I don't know what those are or whatever this dude is awesome. He's a bra from California. He's been on the program. He's been paid. He represented for the United States in a beautiful way at World Baseball Classic. Didn't really play in the final. So all all of us were just like man I wish this guy played really a perfect runway for Pete Crow Armstrong become a national sensation and he's done it. And I think he's handled it beautifully. He's a guy out there though. So he's a guy. Love that. Yes he does. You know I might be back in. Yeah. Exactly. Don't don't be mad at the Giants fielder just because they want to hear the sound of their cups clanging together. It's cool sound. Yeah. You know how sweet that is. They just beat the Dodgers by four runs for the boys to progress. That's what they're doing. America do you think cups on three boys Gilbert Gilbert Gilbert wears a three X. Yeah. And he that's why he's the one swinging. What's that. Don't need to know that information. Well we were saying that's what they're doing. That's why they're doing it. Last night. Whoa. What they said they took about but there's one more thing. We got our guy. That is Tony's glove. Yeah. Our guy Tony would do that celebration. Yeah. 100% if we're bumping cups. I mean we might as well show up and do it a big way. I was an aggressive decision by the lads there. I think they probably knew what was going to happen. I do appreciate this is that last night. A bend over to start. That's a national hand. OK. Take a bow. No. That was that was that was their celebration. Last should have seen them in the showers. They saved it for them. All right. What else happened in baseball. One last thing we got to our guys. Swarbo is now just absolutely raking his home run in five straight games. The Phillies themselves since they fired their manager and they hired Don Mattingly Donny baseball. They've been absolutely on a tear. They're almost back to 500 after being one of the worst teams in MLB to start the year. But Swarbo now leads the league and Helmard in five straight games. He's absolutely mashing the ball to lead the Phillies. So they're getting hot again. That's a team to watch as well. Cash out baseball. How many games left. 135 135. All right. Baseball. All right. Thank you baseball. We appreciate that. Joining us now live from Manhattan Ohio is a man who created the Cup Check celebration. He's a college football national champion Super Bowl champion Ryder Cup winner A.J. Hawkins. Yeah. He's the goal. You know because like drummers have that ability to like hold the drum like the stick like this. Do you think Gilbert thought they were going for more of the rattle with the cup as opposed to just like the boom boom because it felt like Gilbert wanted to be with the cups as they were meeting up there in the outfield. You've obviously done this before with your guys. What is kind of the mindset whenever you guys are going to do the cup bump. I tell you what this was a bit jarring the first time that I did see it. But I I may be I may not be right here but I don't believe outpickers are wearing cups in the major league. That's just me. These guys are for this. That's what you're wrong. Yeah. I mean if you're going to do something don't just dip your toe and don't you know go all in. Gilbert's doing that. He's the only one. He's all he may hurt somebody here if they do this again. But hey man this is they're just building team culture. You never know. I don't know if J. Dot here knew what was kind of going on. I don't know if he was fully in the know of what we were about to do but shout to the lads getting through a long ass season. How many games again did you say. So they're 40 whatever and so 120 120. Okay. I was just standing up right in the seat. 120 more games. Yeah. Boys. How are the Reds doing. Well they lost. We lost a tough one last night. You can't give up 10 runs and expect to win. You know we're getting you guys. We're we're coming off a one game win streak but we you know you got to fall back sometimes. What does anybody tell you. What does anybody tell your pitchers. One game win streak. What does anybody tell your pitchers to stop throwing bigger baseballs. Like why don't you normally though our pitchers have been doing great this year. We just our bats haven't come alive. So this is you know this is a little bit outside of what the norm is for the Reds. We'll be back. Okay. We got division. We all know we've I've said on here a thousand times the World Series runs through the NL central. We know that now is when you want to be in last. Okay. There's a couple teams on there that are going to make huge you guys. In last since the beginning. No no there's a couple. It's like day one. You guys have been the biggest ass team in baseball. You guys fired your coach already. We start baseball with two S's in there. We started out one and oh against the Cincinnati Reds. So I know we haven't been in last since day one. Since day three. We've been okay. But we're figuring it out. Some teams need to go through some shit. AJ I don't know if you saw yesterday College Game Day announced the first two shows will be live from Baton Rouge for Lane Kiffin and LSU's debut. And then down in Austin, Texas Arch Manning takes on Julian Sane as the Buckeyes travel to take on the Texas Longhorns. Now not mentioned. Not announced. Week three. Definitely not going to LSU is going to Ole Miss. And this was an awesome thing yesterday. I talked about this in the first hour. And I know over there in Columbus and in Ohio it's always a buzz and always a chatter. I mean the general is literally every morning for three hours just talking about Ohio State football on local radio and gets paid well to do that and has been doing that for 10 years and can do that for another 20 years if he wants to. There's obviously a few of those towns around the country. Columbus is certainly one. Yesterday was a great reminder of how fantastic college football is for me. And I get a chance to feel obviously I see the the memes and I follow and I read all the up who's where who's doing what what is I have to follow along. You know because I'm very lucky to be a part of the college football world with College Game Day. But it's like once the video starts setting on this massive stage and Dez was reading his voice over and you're seeing some highlights it's like hey college football is awesome and the announcement of the games got me so excited. Cody Rhodes still has a black eye. Okay so he's still he's still feeling punishment to me and Randy Orton put on him. Now Randy also put a little punishment on me and so Cody and so Jolly Roll. So I had a little bit longer night and I'll be out of business forever. It was nice to see Cody. He picked the Bulldogs Georgia. Of course. And he started no dog. There was a couple of dogs in the building but it was including Peter Herb Street but it was nice to get in there and feel college football again. It was awesome AJ and I just can't wait for it. We are 108 days away from college football and it's like it feels right around feels forever feels right around the corner. But every time I watch or feel college football it's like such a special thing. I got goosebumps yesterday. Oh yeah I think just popping that I know that picture came out that you showed up all you guys at the desk seeing you guys just sitting there at the game day desk even though I know it's the up front. That got me excited for football because that is that is what every Saturday will look like for us for you know once the season finally does get here. But I think once we get into the summer months once kids start getting out of school like you start getting in football mode I think that's when off that's when summer workouts start ramping up. Then of course August comes around and I understand we still have a lot of time from one camp open but it feels like once camp opens at least for us as non players now it'll go quickly in the season start. Let's do some college football news. Tom Moore front of the program legend who was done with coaching NFL football is not done coaching football just yet. He's 145 degree or years old. He is now going to Iowa. His alma mater he played quarterback and kicker there in 1914. I believe was the year in which he played there. It was 1959 1960. Okay okay it was great. Sorry I knew there was some year but way back there. He played there in 1959. He was an adult in 1959. She that's when he played. He wasn't born. This guy's still doing it. Grown. Tom thank you for your commitment to ball bro. Nobody will ever question it. He's hilarious. He loves ball and whenever he went to Iowa and played there he said it was the greatest decision he's ever made. Now I assume he feels like he can give back to his alma mater hopefully all these years and maybe this makes Iowa contender in a big 10. Maybe this makes Ty Schmidt and those Hawkeyes excited about the fact that they got championship pedigree. They got a Super Bowl mind and also one of the most legendary football people in the building. I think it does no harm. I think it only does well. Good for them and I wish more people would have done this with Tom Moore. Why isn't he a mountaineer right now. Go ahead AJ. Well you know when he did play he played quarterback for the Hawkeyes. We understand him going back there but is this like do we think the offense for Iowa is really going to open up now. We're going to see shots down the field like an explosive offense we're not used to. Have you ever seen Tom Moore coaching a team that had an ass offense. No never. I legit. You're not going to be in the you're not going to be coaching for 80 years and not be good at what you do. Eventually get run out. So I think Tom Moore is a big thing when he has paid manning we're going to do paid manning. Okay we are going to do paid manning. Whenever Baker's here we're going to do Baker whenever we do this we're going to do this. So whoever their quarterback is I think Tom Moore will have maybe 40,000 plays for that particular style of quarterback. Like I don't think this means that they're going to be looking for a paid manning over there in Iowa. Now it would be nice to be able to play football you know. It would be nice to be able to complete passes and do all that stuff. And Gronosky is certainly an absolute legend. I have nothing but great things to say about him but I think Tom Moore will make the most out of whoever they have whatever they have. Good for the Iowa Hawkeyes we appreciate that. Ole Miss taking some shots publicly this week and I think that's only good for week three. I know they don't love hearing all the shots they're being said. They get very pissed off but we as college football fans can only continue to build the animosity for that week three return. They've said that place is outrageous on just a regular game. I couldn't fathom what it's going to be like whenever his ass walks back in there. And once again Game Day not announced week three at LSU Ole Miss. Yeah it might be Florida and Auburn. Yeah so don't even. Auburn Georgia. It has not been announced. Steve Sarkeesian takes a shot at Ole Miss on threes reporting that at Texas they only take 50% of a player's academic credit hours. You may be a semester from graduating but you're going all the way back to 50% if you want to play here in transfer here in good degree. But Ole Miss they can take you. All you have to do is take basket weaving and get an Ole Miss degree. Geez. That's uncalled for. Ole Miss is taking a lot of shots of the shins right now. A lot of shots to the shins. Sarke and Lane were together at USC so they're they're old pals so I assume Sarke's got a certain feeling about sticking up for Lane. But it's not like Ole Miss fired Lane. I'm pretty sure he chose to leave on his own so you know it'd be nice if Lane just left and kept his mouth shut and went and coached at LSU instead of taking shots of his old old old Marmot old Momotter who had a great time there. Okay. Why can't we just all be friends. You can leave. Yes he's pissed he wasn't allowed to coach in the playoff while you shouldn't have left before the playoff started. Okay. Well that's a schedule of calendar they said that's not me. I thought I was not happy to be a part of that. I know I would I did not like that we had to talk about it on game day. I did not like that we had a relationship with Lane. I did that quickly spiraled into something that I was like I don't like this. I don't like I don't like that a coach is leaving his team. I don't like that at all. That's like the whole urban minor whenever he's with the Jags thing. My biggest problem and obviously a lot came from it. He didn't fly home with the team. It's like you're a you're a coach of the team. You fly with the team like that is how this go. So a coach leaving his team before the biggest games I just got like kind of disgusted by it. Like but then the explanation on why it had to happen. It's like okay I guess that makes sense but I don't I don't like it at all. And then everything that kind of followed up I was like it was kind of like it felt dirty. Yeah it did and it was like such a good college football season and college football was so spectacular and it was the environments were electric just like they always are and everything was the ratings that more people watching college football than ever before. And if you look at the NFL numbers versus college football numbers it's like football fans still have a lot of chance to kind of fall in love with this incredible thing that is college football. So second largest sport in America second largest sport in league wise. Oh sorry I guess you got to put soccer in there and they got a hundred leaks. Good leaks second largest sport in the United States. Second largest. We're talking America. Well I was about to say the world but then I in my head I heard football should just be that right pal. We're just watching a super duper Europe. World game. Yeah that's what he was about to say there. You know Europa is after the Champions League. If you're in the Champions League top four of your league over there in Europe you get a champion that you play on Wednesday nights. But if you're kind of asked but kind of good in all your leagues you can play in Europa League. They play on Thursday nights and then there's the local leagues on Sundays. It's like you guys got too many fucking leagues. Is America going to win a World Cup. Yes. You got MLS tonight. Wednesday night MLS doesn't get any better than this. Yeah. You're messing the boys in Cincinnati. I heard the Chicago fire now have a McDonald's in their stadium. Really. Did you hear that. I didn't hire that. Chicago fire McDonald's stadium. Is that big news. Is it on Apple's. Big Donald's is great but is that really. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of money. Hawker. Oh. Bone just got his. Yeah. You're right. Yeah. You're right. You know what I want. Triple burger. No ketchup. You guys got no. I don't like that. Naming rights. I get it. That's a little bigger. That says McDonald's stadium. Yeah. First step. One one solitary McDonald's. I don't know if that's newsworthy. It's a stadium. But I think I was in the airport. That's why I love it. What's that dude. If there's one in the airport too then we know it's a huge news. Okay. If I fly into Chicago and they're like welcome to McDonald's airport and there is a McDonald's in the airport. I will certainly say that's huge news. Okay. It's not a hair. I thought we were flying into. No. It's fucking McDonald's stadium. They never done this before. Here's a McDonald's in there. Best nugs in the world coming fresh out of this game. I was. Now the Chicago fire. I only know one other fire team really doing it right now as Portland fire. Portland fire game went in a fucking layup. Did you see this. Me. Yeah. No I did not watch this Portland fire brand new team up there. Bang. Now Chicago have had the fire name for a long time as a professional team. Portland says give it to us. Step back. Oh pass off the glass rebound layup. What a pass. Champs go down. We get the audio from this. We get this pop. Okay. We're not at the pop but the place did go crazy over there. It was a pass off the glass fire beat the lips. Now I love that name the fire. But when I saw someone I just read this update fire beat Liberty. Okay. I thought the Chicago fire played in a cross same promotional thing and beat them. Portland fire brand new team. Where you going to Portland fire. Portland. First win. 90. How many points 98 points. I was ninety so yeah 98 96 to get the win. I was an unbelievable three a few possession before this by the lips to take the lead. This is a great game. We talked about it a couple days ago with them in their first game having over 19,000 people in attendance and obviously it was a bunch of them in seats last night as well. But yeah that pop from the crowd was one of the loudest pops I've ever heard in the basketball game. Commissioner Engelberg came on our show and said we are looking at cities that would certainly seem to like the WNBA. And we didn't even have to follow up and say like what do you mean. It's like Portland seems like a great town. They have shown up in a huge way. Not only great sports fans. Hey we see that with every sport that they have. But also picking. Yes very I like what the WNBA is doing. I like what they're doing Toronto team. So I think they had over a million viewers in Canada for their first game. So that's great fever Dallas was 2.49 million I think. Now that is done from last year's game which was sky fever which is obviously Angel Reese versus Caitlin Clark to kick it all off. Magic bird. Yeah exactly what it was built as at least 2.49 million. Fuck you laughing at Tony. That was me. That was me. Why. Magic bird. Yeah look I appreciate what you're doing up here. That's the comparison. Don't throw away your bird. I appreciate what you're doing but easy. We don't know. We don't know. We don't know. Magic bird. A lot of championship bird. Easy. Are you right. Angel has won the championship. I guess everyone in the conversation hasn't. Yeah in a major in the W in a major league but not in a three on three league. Easy. I love my college. Kelsey Mitchell. Okay. Caitlin Clark. Bucket. Sophie. Lexi Raven. Why. Stephanie White the coach. Boston. Fever about the win. Leah Boston. Sorry. Leah Boston obviously. Fever about the win at all. And they're starting with being ratings kings. And if you've over the last couple of years the highest rated games are either fever games or the game directly after the fever games. I believe they have fed into like the fifth highest rated six highest rated. It's like well these teams are doing really good. And then you go look it's like people fell asleep watching the fever. Got it. That's why they're still watching. So the fever need to be good. We appreciate the hell out of them. And then you got that Liberty team that's obviously filled with legends and icons. The Vegas Aces in the middle of a potential dynastic run here. Asia. Unbelievable. She's having a lot of fun. She has a good time out there beating shit out of air. Much better. She really does. I mean she is six four obviously but the amount of juice she has like smiling while kind of just balling. I wouldn't be surprised. She goes for 84 points maybe. Right. Yeah. You know what I mean. Just one more to bam. You know just so that can all happen. Let's go to the NHL ladies and gentlemen joining us now. Is it a man we've never talked to. We've never talked to this guy before. No. Seen him on TV though. We look at a picture of this guy. Magic. Looks like he's out of a movie. Ladies and gentlemen an incredibly handsome Minnesota man who played in the NHL for 18 years. Yeah. Yeah. That's accurate. It's an adult. This is not the first time I'm reading this like when Trump found out about the Rose Bowl. Holy shit. 18 years in the NHL. First overall. Wait till you see how good this guy looks. I couldn't defense before I couldn't imagine how many pox of just show me pox this guy. He's eating pox. Oh he wrote. He was so fast he caught him. You're right. He was yeah. That's what he does with this neat guy. Platinum jaw. Ladies and gentlemen Stanley Cup champion Eric Johnson. Yeah. This fucking guy. Yeah. Right. That's out of a movie. How you doing bro. No makeup today boys. No makeup. This is natural. Yeah. I got no station. I got no powder. This is natural. Yeah. It's what I'm wondering though. 18 years a long time to potentially just be eating poxes at defensemen. The hair flow the glow in the the chick the chicklets here. Unbelievable work. Eric way to go Bob. And your parents sounds like incredible genes there. Okay. Let's talk about hockey right now. It's wonderful. We love everything that's happening in hockey. Obviously the ratings are very indicative of how the country I think feels about hockey right now fresh out of the Olympics for a team USA women and men kind of dominate and put the entire I mean it's up into the right for everything. What's your favorite team that is still around. And whenever you look at that Colorado you want a cup there Colorado Minnesota game series a lot of defensemen kind of the stars of what's going on. Is that special to your heart or how do you kind of view what's going on in Colorado Minnesota right now because this Colorado team people are saying maybe the greatest of all time Eric may the greatest team of all time out there on the ice. Yeah I mean I think this abs team you guys like they could go 16 and won the whole way and win the cup. I mean the while they're a contender in their own right but the abs just feel like they have that edge. And you said it like the defense that they have they get so much offense from their D. And I think everyone thinks you know defense you're just sitting back there you're defending you're hitting but these guys put the puck in the net like McCarre Taves all these guys are so good offensively the abs just seem like they're on a different level right now. And did you see that butt end the other night that that Manson threw on McCarron McCarron said I hope they don't kick him out of the game because I want a piece of him after they have a little bit of an edge to him too. So they can do a little bit of everything. This has been an awesome series. Like it's a shame it might only go five like I think they probably close it out tonight at home in Denver but it's an awesome series incredible series thing got through. Yeah Quinn here is to has become not only a sensation because the Olympics but the shit he's doing on the ice against this avalanche team which is obviously big fast strong is outrageous. So I appreciate that. And you talk about them going 16 and one maybe throughout the entirety of the run and we thought they were going to be on a collision course with another team that could be undefeated going into the Cup final in the East and the Carolina Hurricanes. Why are they so good. And when you watch them what is your thoughts on their potential. You know are they going to be able to beat this avalanche team inevitably if they get to the cup against each other. I think if you put this whole playoffs through a simulation right now it'd be no disrespect to any team still playing. I think it's going to be Colorado Carolina. These teams just they feel destined to play each other almost. And what Carolina does for me is they have like four second lines. You know some teams they'll have a top heavy first line then they'll have some depth sprinkled in but Carolina they have four lines that play exactly the same. And if you put them on any other team to me they're all second lines. They all play to the same identity. They're all on the same page. They just do everything as a connected group. And when you're playing against them it just feels like you're you're drinking water through a fire hose. Like they're just they come at you the same way every single line. So they just have that connectivity to their group that makes them so dangerous. And their crowd in in in Raleigh is nuts. Like for a team that maybe they don't say is a true hockey market these fans are unbelievable. They get so much out of their crowd. Yeah the raging cany acts have obviously been going bananas down there for a long time. Let's talk about the crowds though. They've been spectacular. Go ahead Conman. Yeah Eric to true hockey markets Buffalo Montreal. It feels like every single time they're on the TV you know their crowds are going nuts in Montreal the L.A. L.A. L.A. was insane. And then in Buffalo as well they're drinking beers out of Sabres and going absolutely ballistic. What do you think about when you see them play. I mean for Montreal Marty St. Louis got those guys going. It is incredible to see even him in the locker room pregame after the game has been awesome. How do you see them kind of fairing. How do you see this series kind of going. And is both these teams being young and in inexperience maybe going to help them against Carolina just because they don't realize how massive of a moment it is. Yeah. And I think the other thing with both those teams is they're kind of playing with house money. No one thought Buffalo was going to make the playoffs much less get this far. Probably the same with Montreal maybe a little higher expectations but to me this has been the most fun series to watch. There's you know piss and vinegar vinegar in these young guys. They have high skill this Zach Benson kid that scores right here is a complete pain in the ass to play against. He's just a little rat. He's like a mini-marshon and he's only 21 just bought his first beer legally yesterday and he's been kind of the the X factor for me for the Sabres but these two teams are going to be around for a long time and the hot dog in the press box. I've been healthy scratched a few times there in Montreal. Fantastic hot dog. If you don't have you haven't had it. Have to have it. Damn right. Stories are what is it. OK. So what's up with this hot dog. We got a crispy outer coat or is it just a delightful. What is the difference. It's the bread perfectly toasted with the bun sprinkle a little mustard sprinkle a little ketchup. Fantastic. Get the hot dog in the press box unbelievable. The bells. I'm going to head up there and get it. I'm sure we just so we walk in we get elevator and then go press your press pass Pat get up to the top. Wee wee right with the French people. So walk your right in for the hot dog. You get the hot dog. You get a LeBat maybe a Molson good to go. Oh this is crazy. What's the no tax thing. What is a duty free. I'm getting free shit on the way out to me. I'm certainly doing that as I go. You're ready dogs back. Oh my God. Hey bonjour. I'm a pal. I do you want hot dog. Oh Eric Johnson when he was scratch healthy scratch here. What do you have a lot of that. So the Montreal hot dog I assume we know about this. Is this a well known thing. Is there. This is a thing. This is a thing. Yeah. And the NHL circles you know you get a big bucket of these things after the game. You'd have a cooler beer. You'd have that. Yep. There they are. Abs. Look at the toasted outside. You see the toast. That's the key. Good. A little char on the outside. It's unbelievable. And then a little snap on the hot dog. Wrap on it. Unbelievable. Messy Boku. Montreal. You know American thing here the hot dog and they just seemingly have taken it made so much better. I cannot wait to get up there. OK. Let's get back to hockey. Change your life. It looks like you're like it doesn't go. Is there any ass ones any places you've gone to where they just kind of give you just like meat in a like a firefest type fucking like a cheese sandwich. Is there any of that anywhere. There's a couple places I don't want to I don't want to bury him right now but there's a few of those. How many of those dogs have Kessel has Castle Phil Castle. He's got to go up the Stanley Cup with a bowl of hot dog. Get trained in Montreal. Well Eric that all happened because one writer said that this guy was drinking hot dog juice before games and then that obviously took on a life as you know this you know this but it never works. Whatever works right. Do you drink your own Pete stay healthy over there and hockey. You guys have to be in incredible shape. Do you guys do any weird shit to keep the body together. Well you saw the abs swimming before the game the other night. Right. You see that clip McKinnon swimming in the pool. They're not eating that shit. It was McKinnon is not McKinnon drinking water. And we are not eating no hot dogs. No hot dog. No nothing. I wore the full speedo. He wore the shorts. So we would do that in the playoffs but I had the night I had the nice speedo on to get a little extra glow. But this is what these guys have been doing. They've been doing this for like three or four years. So apparently it's the pressure of the pool when you get low enough just to clear the lack that the acid out of your legs when you fly. So these guys have been doing it's the whole team. It's not just Nate. They've been doing this on off days on Nate would miss some practices and he'd go with his physiotherapist there and they would just go swim. This guy's a complete lunatic in a good way about finding like an edge to stay on top of his game. It's really unreal. Yeah I've read a couple of the articles about him being a lunatic and people being like hey you're a little bit too much of a lunatic. But us in our sport we got Tom Brady who I think in a similar way people would say is a lunatic and then he obviously goes on to become who he is which is a goat conversation. Thank you for clarifying what's happened there because all anybody was talking about was this guy's got flippers on a hotel pool and you said actually this is a recovery thing with lactic acid where if you get low and poor it's not just we did not hear the real story that was a week ago right. Yeah that's the first time I've heard what was happening there. Put it on the ticker. Hey look at you dude. Hands up. Hot dog news. We got some recovering news. Keep them coming. AJ has a question for you about hockey. Yeah Eric as a casual fan I feel like sometimes a goalie can stand on his head throughout the playoffs and give a team a chance I guess when you look at these teams that are left I guess who do you feel best about in net there as a goalie. In the abs series I think well the old saying goes if you have two goalies you don't have any goalies but I think that narrative has changed over the years. It used to be you'd ride your starter 60 70 games in the regular season and then he'd play every single playoff game unless he got the hook but for the abs it's been Blackwood and Wedgewood all season long one A one B one would slip the other would step up and then for Minnesota it was Gustavson the Gus bus all season long for the most part he was the wilds number one goalie but uh Jesper Valstead he's kind of their future franchise guy in goal he's kind of taken the reins in the playoffs and ran with it but to me the goal tending has taken a little bit of a back seat to how much these guys can score and how dynamic both teams are offensively like Hughes and McCarr I mean there as everyone knows everyone knows McCarr I think Hughes has closed that gap a little bit I think Kale's still the best offensive in the league but Hughes has closed that gap but just the ability these guys have on the offensive end of the rink is is so fun to watch but the goal tending all season long for both these teams has kind of just been a seesaw and they've rotated in and out so I think it's going to just come down to the abs being able to close it out at home tonight with home ice how big is McCarr not not big not big and he's not real cut either right he's still kind of got that baby fat to him but he's just a freak he's got huge legs he has like the mental the mental side of his game he just doesn't get rattled or fazed he's just straight even keel right down the middle he's probably six feet a buck ninety and I mean I still feel like he could grow into that frame a little bit more if he wanted to but you don't want to screw with what's working for him what are you 18 years as a defenseman in the NHL what is your dims what are your dims my what dims come on your dims what are dims like dimensions like height and weight he's talking about them dude I've never heard of that uh what are you fluctuated all right so like 10 years ago I was 220 and then when I got a little older towards the end of my career last year I was pushing like 238 I was having too many Mick Goldins and you know I'm through hot dogs in the back of the bus a little less tells me and burn but yeah that 220 range was kind of my sweet spot I wasn't in my sweet spot too long how tall right around six four wow wider than any taller you know I need to get some of those peptides yeah we got them if you need them the science is amazing right now you should definitely take advantage especially at six four Jesus Christ you with this face what are you guys inject re-injecting are you taking the pill no I've gone to the point where we're doing science real yeah I'm doing it we got I could send you over a whole kitten caboodle bell can't we we got this entire over I mean who knows what we're borrowing from the end but whatever I guess we'll figure that out at a different guy you're six four though right I that's all I view like NHL defenseman is big McCarr not big Quinn Hughes small right he's like a smaller fella on the ice and he's what you just said he's closed the gap to potentially becoming the second best maybe even become at one point the best defenseman in the entire NHL is that it is that an evolution of the game like why is that kind of happening you think yes exactly right like it used to be as you guys know it used to be hook and hold and the defenseman didn't need to skate as well as they need to now now it's almost like you have wingers playing D but their defenseman I mean these guys Hughes might be one of the best well he is one of the best skaters in the NHL but he might be the best skater in the NHL and McCarr is no different and I think the best way I could describe it is defensemen are so deceptive with their hands and their shot but these guys are so deceptive if you watch their hips and the way they move not only are they they juke with their hands but they juke with their body and their legs too which just can put defenders in a complete blender when you're trying to come out against these guys like they're too quick like it's like doing it's like doing the 10 and 2 with your feet you know what I mean like these guys are just so shifty just watch them tonight when they get to the top of the blue line they'll get the puck and they won't only be deceptive with their hands they'll be jukein with their hips and it just can put you in a total pretzel okay so you're backing up back back skating and what the fuck you call it you're skating backwards okay I don't know what you guys do defense a lot of that a lot of a lot of it and you're reading body puck what are you doing you're reading where puck's supposed to go what is like kind of what you're looking at as you're going back there yeah so if you're at the blue line as a defenseman and you have the puck the forward's going to come out at you from their net and try and defend you but McCarr and Hughes and these guys are so good like I said not only with the puck but they're quick with their feet right so they're doing like three different as they're doing like the macarena while they're walking the blue line right so it's like well how do you defend these guys they can shoot it by you they can stick handle it by you they can skate it by you just their their ability to change not only how they're skating but how they're handling the puck at the same time it's it's unbelievable it's it's like witchcraft it's it's it's unreal these guys are just complete freaks I love that you're I think you're a pretty big freak as well you skate still or no I'm done I don't want to ever put them on again I've gotten asked to play in these alumni games I'm done I'm not putting it on my feet hurt my toes are all messed up I'm not putting the skates on anymore I'm done I think you've done enough yeah 18 years in the NHL's a long time you're gonna play ball hockey maybe a little deck hockey yeah I'm out I'm out I'm going to combo in about five hours to play golf no skates just golf you're gonna be great at that six four with the timing oh jeez hit it a mile good for you dude I don't know you're gonna get burnt like a the yeah definitely gonna get burnt down there yeah take it all yeah yeah take it all in happy uh happy life for you man good for you thank you for your commitment to sport thank you for stopping by you're phenomenal hopefully get a chance

here so I'll catch you on the tube ladies and gentlemen it's Stanley Cup champ Eric Jones here all I can be out what I think he was great yeah 18 years in the NHL defenseman we should probably know that there was probably going to be a good lad in there if we had to guess healthy scratches towards the end I was 238 240 there too many motions too many most and gold Mick gold what is a Mick gold what does that mean is that uh is that old school Mickalope is that like Mickalope diesel like the high life the Miller high life of Mickalope gold with golden light Mickalope golden light is that like the Bud Light blue that they were giving us that had like 14% alcohol do you remember that the someone's got a 4.1 yeah those ones yeah those were a problem yeah they were you had three of those you're feeling good it's a premium it's a premium American style light logger get some Mick golds in here this guy loves them Eric gained 20 pounds on these things Montreal hot dogs and Mick golds oh what a life for him a good combo those ones yeah that's that's stick down for Eric yeah stick down for you yeah the word EJ ladies and gentlemen joining us now is an icon an actual icon not many people in the sports world you can say their name and everybody on earth knows who the fuck it is okay that just doesn't happen at all and who we are about to chat with is about to make the return to the octagon for the first time since 2016 ladies and gentlemen cut a sick promo the first press conference about to kick some ass on Netflix ladies and gentlemen the first ever UFC bantamoy champion icon Ron the rousey yeah you realize it was a promo you're the first person to call it out for being that well certainly we also respect the hell out of your time at the wwe and going into that world and obviously uh there's a sense you know because the crowd is completely around you you're used to this obviously with fighting but in wrestling there's a goal to every single thing that's happening and you got no room for air you're pretty exposed out there you know and you can kind of uh i think you throwing yourself into that world i had massive respect for because you were goat conversation in your world so i appreciated the fact that you one did that i love the run that you had and also appreciate that was hey the promo you cut for this fight about like hey i birthed all of you basically incredible promo yeah that way we that we need to we need to run that one back too i don't know what's happening after this particular fight we need to run let's talk about this though first fight since 2016 obviously in incredible shape we saw that wwe incredible shape you're always going to be we assume and know what you're doing why now and how do you feel getting in there what should we expect from you is it going to be similar to what we saw from ronda rousey back in the day is there an evolution to the fighting style like how do you kind of feel about going in this weekend uh there's definitely a loose an evolution to the fighting style i think the the two of us are really unique in that we have that styles making fights aspects that you don't really see so much anymore you know everyone's kind of become like a generalist these days but we have those specialties that are now informed by you know years of evolution of the sport and so i think this is a combination that's never been been seen before and something truly unique and it used to be that you can blur people's faces out and you would know exactly who was fighting just by their style and i really don't think that's it's hard to tell now these days and me and jena are so unique that um yeah putting putting us together it kind of goes back to like when u of c started and i was like what's better moi tai or judo and it's like that plus you know um the everything that we've learned since the the the you know the first u of c when you had someone coming out with a single boxing club yeah absolutely the first u of c obviously until you watch that sick and then you automatically go wow if somebody would have happened upon just the country of brazil back in the day it just accidentally you know no matter what your size was that's where i remember from the first u of c just hey anybody can get this thing and uh be out have you been training throughout this entire time obviously as soon as i see travis double leg him arm bar him anytime that needs to happen but fighting family uh tell him we said what's up but how has it have you maintained training it feels like some of you fighters it's like just a part of your life forever how long have you gotten back into this and uh yeah how's the body feel i guess going into a fight uh i've been training like the last year and a half basically from six weeks after i had my my last baby so as soon as i was cleared to go i've been training and um it's actually just felt felt incredible like this is what my body is meant to do i've been an athlete since i was six years old and so like being sedentary is almost like worse for me and so i've never felt healthy or never felt better and uh trav actually put a whole octagon in our like garage so i'm just like what you know watching the babies with the babies and then like i just like walk out and then i'm spoiled now or all my coaches and training partners come to me and i just like go out and i do my training and then i turn around i go right back into the house and back to the babies and they're in the gym and and part of it as well and so yeah it's uh it's kind of like a like a seamless mesh of it's not like training over here where you had to like go to a stadium and your family had to stay home and then you go home to your family i got to like mix the two of them all the time which was which was great it like helped my my energy up all the time i think the biggest difference is just recovery no i can't okay listening to you talk about that uh being just a bad ass while doing mom and this entire thing what was the promo you cut about every muscle in your body is i forget what it was you said oh the no dmp promo yeah my body is for a purpose yeah yeah yeah i'm not training to like my clothes it for my body isn't for fucking billionaires i was just thinking about that as you're walking into the garage you say you're spoiled no you earned that shit but you you you walk into the garage you train they go back in mom a little bit i'm like you're the most badass mom of all time just hey you understand the deal here okay dad bought a cage built a cage mom's gonna go beat the fuck out of some people in here all right you're gonna do the same and then we're gonna continue to live i'm happy you're balancing that and also showcasing to a lot of people that it's possible i can't wait to see you continue to build through this all and shout to jake paul and mvp and netflix providing an incredible opportunity here not only for you fighting as a whole combat sports as a whole you getting attached to this is a big deal for uh i think the sports world we're pumped about it now we have more questions obviously go ahead a jay yeah ronda i guess with with time you know i think if people get ordered it gives you perspective i know pat and i talk about it a lot i guess what's your perspective like now is it feel different going into this fight we said as a mom with the kids with everything you have around you i i guess do you feel much better does it feel like hey i got other stuff that's bigger than fighting as well that i can focus on i guess mentally where are you right now yeah i think that entirely i think when i was younger like everything was the end of the world and winning was everything and i thought that any other perspective than that would weaken me and um now that i have kids and i have like you know priorities above this i didn't realize that it would actually make me better at it and have all of that weight lifted on me and have so much more more energy to to draw from even though like i have kids waking me up in the middle of night and stuff like that it's like um i have more energy than ever before i felt like was so like bogged down and like overworked and chronically over trained and now i have to be so efficient with my time i can't just be like insecure about oh am i doing enough and just like just doing way too much and wearing my body down way too much because i'm so insecure and i i want to make sure that i'm doing more than anybody else and now it's like okay i um i get one long training session in the morning i do like three to four hours straight and i'm like okay what am i going to do in that time i have to be able to do everything at once and i'm spending the rest of the day on recovery instead of just training all day and training all day and training all day like i would get home after training before and be like i didn't do enough and i'd get outside and like go like run sprints in the sand or something like that and i was just constantly just doing more because i was afraid and now it's just like this is your allotted time do all your shit and so it's like you know my coaches are so much more organized they're all like they do like uh they're like daily debriefs of every single training session and what they worked on and they have like zoom meetings without me there to like go for everything that was happening and they're like all coordinating and being like okay this is what we're doing what is we're aiming at and we're just everything is so much more organized and streamlined than it's ever been before man that sounds like you're really doing it so have we thought i don't want to put this in your world and i should have paid attention to more interviews that you've done if you've already addressed this so you now remember you can ask trav i got a great double leg i mean right here we're going right here okay we're going right here behind the knees okay he can it's that this fight how many are we doing is this what are we going in there feeling how we feel after and then making like what is the conversation about what you're going to consider because it sounds like you are loving the process which is normally the part that i think people that are uh riding off in the sunset hate they hate getting back into the full feels like you have welcomed getting back into the process and almost enjoyed it more than ever have has there been discussions on what this looks like for you and everything like that or no uh well i am definitely loving it more than ever before um but there's definitely been people trying to convince me to continue um because there's a lot of money that could be made but um i feel like this is the absolute peak for me this is my dream fight this is the way that i always wanted to end it and to go out and um and i want to have more kids too you know we want to try for at least two more and um it's like i i found a way to fit this into the rest of my life you know i'm not going to like re derail everything else for this but um throughout this process i mean it's kind of become a little obvious that there's like a huge opportunity here for me to to be that promoter role and to i mean there's an opportunity for me to step in to be the head of you know mvp and mma if this is a huge success and you know be an actual rival for the u of c and give fighters some bargaining power and to like be their dana but donna just turned out what happened hi what's going on madonna it's a sign it's a sign i think so i don't what is the song is there a month did madonna just walk it was girls just want to have fun it feels like it is a sign universe just dropped through and madonna in your house yeah i should be a promoter now madonna jake heard that jake ball heard that hey come on jake but on that the business side of it all give him back to the sport that has obviously given you a lot would be dope to watch and it'd be a cool thing to kind of see you evolve into that role and see what business you guys can create over there i love what jake's doing man i really do i think he loves it as well i heard some chatter though you talked to aria right he might be done yeah about as jolly said the doctor hasn't cleared him there's nervous to clear him so he might not fight again actually but i think he'll still continue to give back oh yeah and uh through this process what have you learned about netflix's want for this to be great because obviously the tyson jake paul fight was a 60 million or something like that i think jake paul said he's expecting 20 million that would be a conservative number if we saw in this particular fight you're talking about the biggest numbers of all time for the game how has it been working with netflix and how has it been in the opportunity roles and what you've been learning about what's possible i mean netflix has been amazing and that they have been you know increasingly seen how much potential there is here to investing more and more and more and more i mean um what who keeps putting music on it is that trev get off me or fall i think it's bluetooth he's connecting the bluetooth hey you're watching videos you gotta go to the top right corner hit the little circle but the worst oh no yeah we're about to learn a lot yeah but uh they've been great and uh we're doing open workouts like in venice beach like with the sun you know the sun setting and um you know they were doing like fan events and putting like you know giant hexagons out for people to do stuff the stuff that like the u of c used to do and they kind of like you know stop doing so much like the the uh netflix went all out into the promotion and doing like great commercials and um i was able to um uh uh make a workout a partnership with capcom and we did like special like street fighter like like homage like uh like fight shirts and stuff like that remember when these big cool fight shirts yeah well i only wore a fliction but yeah i do remember the cool shirts to you there's a lot of yeah but they did like i got they made one with like you know me and jenna is like cammy and tunlee and like like uh where where is that who's available right now it's not yeah it's not my my story i think on my instagram and they got like eight and mike perry as sagat and uh zongi and then uh we got um what's it called francis and ghanu and lin's as akuma and ryu i mean it's really cool which i was able to like you know work work this out because i have friends with um with one of the guys that's head of net animation and he was like oh i know the guys like capcom and stuff like that and just we we've just they just elevated everything that beyond we ever would have been able to do if we didn't have an incredible partner like netflix we're on the randy's donut you know the randy's donut donut they put a big hexagon over the donut okay i like that i like this is the entire fight card for netflix as we run up on a hard out here this the entire card main card 9 p.m 6 p.m pacific time they'll go live on netflix we assume it'll be an entire cast of characters covering the fight and uh let's enjoy it all we cannot wait to watch you get back in there thank you for doing this for us as sports fans and congratulations on enjoying the hell out of the process good luck against jenna and we can't wait to see it all thank you so much thanks for having me on guys hey you guys out travi needs to watch who he's bluetooth connected to we're learning a lot about him you know he's out there girls just want to have fun having his day you're the best laser gem is ronda rousey yeah rondo yeah i think they're i think they're really trying to go that card is kind of unbelievable actually names everywhere everywhere boom boom boom boom and then ronda at this stage of her life she seems so at peace with it like enjoying the process cutting promos what's next how can i tie this together it's like sometimes you got to take that road to get there and then all the info that you've collected can benefit yeah feels like we're about to see that on saturday good luck to all of them as they fight we'll continue digitally as sports center takes it from here be a friend tell friends i'm nice and change a life to but i think i got it there you did i think she's gonna win for sure she looks a lot of people a lot of people think she might win within the first minute yeah an arm bar oh really so arm but that's why i asked like what are we are we judo in the sheet out of this and i'm getting right to the arm bars that we were doing because it felt like she could get there anytime she wanted back in the day like hey let me uh and yep fucking gotcha yeah that's what i thought so i mean turtle yeah had to get it turtle got it yeah i had to adam pierce mm-hmm yep i guys saw it adam pierce i actually now that we dealt with foreign adam pierce i think we're kind of bigger fans of adam pierce the other yeah don't you think yeah he is what was that guy's name nobody would tell me every week i kept saying fool adam pierce like hoping somebody would tell me was that not what it was just a wannabe other guy he was very handsome and also there was a couple times i put my hands on him strapping his legs kind of jack like this table those couple times i hit him a little bit i'm like i don't think i should be hitting this guy that order but he'll never fucking know that nope get out of here what's his name foreign adam pierce that's it you guys are terrible nick all this all this thank you all the snow yeah this yes exactly i thought that was him but adam pierce caught a brutal brutal one from triple h from ronda if you're oh yeah i'm not going out there and it is going to you know i know that's what that what's the odds it's fascinating because gino uh g sorry gina obviously has a lot of experience and everything like that but i think all of us naturally our brains go back whenever we think about female fighters in the past it's like ronda she's like ron is the headline she's mine is 500 she changed the entire ufc she did oh yeah ronda changed the entire her and connor mcgregor would be the two that sent ufc to what it sent uh just ability character reaction pull the right like everything you want main she was she was very very mainstream during her run like everywhere she was she was great on entourage when she was in there yeah connor wanted to ask about fast and furious as well uh-huh she was in that movie like she she was all over the place and i think her and mcgregor were the first on the video game cover or one of the first couple video games that they made like that was to your guys's point like when ufc to me became like the biggest it ever was i knew it was the fast furious too was that uh gina she was in fast for six wow they're both in it she's been in star wars shows as well damon and the fourth just happened yes she was dead pool hey shout the gene has signed up to do this shit again too yeah like that that was my big question for ronda and then as she was kind of laying it out she was like it kind of fits into my life and i actually need this it seems like i'm like good for you i'm happy to hear that because there's a lot of people that sign up for things and then it's like oh i forgot what this is this is a lot of work oh yeah can you imagine yeah i was at that uh the thing yesterday new york dates with stars people were there robert everyone was there they just got off tour they were doing they did a whole thing yeah at urwin your guy urwin he was there as well julianne huff uh was there darik huff was there darik yeah they're all it was unbelievable i american

these types of things though whenever these super celebrity people were at this thing so there's a thing there's an after thing then there's an after after thing that's where you gotta be careful yeah the third one after after no i think it was a part of the thing like hey you go here next yeah this is this long then there's an exit for all of us and then we go to this thing which is the actual thing that was kind of the thing okay so we we do that entire thing we get over to to that particular place and it was just like a this is outrageous we're not supposed to be me and bruce definitely

tome's not happy nine year n 12 at darrys j butler is here tome's not happy he's not ladies and gentlemen the international schedule for the nfl's 2026 season has officially been released starting australia started again starting australia then we take a trip through rio then london time for a few weeks then we head over to paris how about madrid munich and mexico city all before week 12 begins we take a global tour of the game and australia is far if it's able to work there that means anywhere will be possible maybe even fagy fiji you have no idea where a tokyo dome could be anywhere could be absolutely anywhere there's a team obviously it's traveling twice internationally as the san francisco 49ers their mileage this year is uh so 26 000 or something like that mile yeah here it is 30 sorry 38 000 miles and more than the panthers browns and bears combined yeah that's a lot of traveling now where they're based they're gonna be doing a lot of traveling anyways obviously if you're on any of the coast with the way the nfl is now you're gonna be traveling with their interdivision interconference stuff that it's gonna take place but when you're playing australia obviously that's gonna add some miles that's gonna add some miles and then whenever you also go to mexico city by the way oh so that's gonna add some miles but that might be closer than a game that they could potentially have on the east coast nonetheless a lot of traveling the international games have been announced a j we're quickly uh understanding that the future of the nfl is every team's gonna have an international game okay and there is gonna be one every single week and we might even see with the development of plane technology if the concord was that the name of it the concord yes jim ursay rest in peace legend rest in peace jim ursay was an owner uh for a long time and anytime he'd come on our show he just kind of have shit spill out of his mouth it was like pretty big news you know from the history of the nfl the nfl was banking and i assume they weren't the only one on the concord plane that was hypersonic or whatever the fuck it was that would be able to get from new york to london in like four hours or something i forget what the time was maybe three hours i forget what it was the nfl at that point from the way jim talked to us about it was like the nfl was that going to be put a team in london if the concord plane would have worked out that would have brought europe and america closer quicker and the nfl certainly would have seized the opportunity and put a team in london instead it became the london games over there jacksville jaguars obviously cuz conno and the soccer team over there they kind of became a now it's multiple countries multiple different continents and they're trying to go everywhere how do you feel about it a j and what is your first thoughts whenever you see the schedule get released about how many games are going to be overseas or in other countries uh do you think it's great for the game bad for the game oh i think it's great for the game obviously this thing it's a it's a global situation we know the nfl isn't it's only going to continue to happen more and more i mean the first thing i thought of was yeah i would imagine tone in the rest of steel or nation would be very excited to go to paris france that seems like a very good place a j you want to start the war now let's do it uh i want you to get your take in on it you know so you can maybe provide your thoughts i love the global expansion of the game okay we got soccer happening over here all the time that's kind of the world sport we got our sport i love that other places are getting introduced to greatest sport on earth i love the flag football is coming along at the right time so these guys in these other countries and girls in these other countries don't have to have pads and helmets and access to these things that they might not have in some of these places all they gotta have is football a couple flags a couple belts they'll be able to play the greatest game on earth and within no time when you're talking about the olympics maybe we'll be able to have actual tackle football because they grow through the game saw the basketball world obviously grow the dream team they go overseas grow the entire game now there's a massive europe influx into the mba that could happen in the nfl and uh when you can't grow anymore in america which i don't know if the nfl is at that feels like they're getting close no the numbers are absurd i mean the amount of people that are watching the nfl in america is absurd how many how many people watch this triple all of them hundred and what 40 20 it's 300 million people in us va okay we got we can we can triple in the united states of america okay that's something we can do and to borrow you know a little french au contraire mon frère au contraire yeah that's what i said um no the inders are pissed a jay they don't want to go to france okay they don't want to go to petpe lapuis town where do they want to go then they want to go to new orleans okay they want to party on bourbon street that's fine enough okay that is very french they're that is a real thing they actually are very very mad that it's in france and not bourbon street because you know these teams they look at their schedule and new orleans is a destination city like when you look at the schedule like hey we're steelers fans we never play the nfc we want to go to norleans we want to see a game in new orleans whatever so now they're going to france there's nine what is there nine international games how long until there's nine american games okay how long until the entire season is played internationally and then we're only we only have nine games this isn't some to borrow words from jj what some traveling circus the nfl is not a gimmick and with all due respect to savannah bannas this is how the nfl is starting to turn into with these internet yeah they are trained dragged the bananas into this jesse call is hitting dinghers in football stadium that's right that's right up the street nfl like it's some gimmick from the game the back the game wasn't built on the backs of international people okay well it was built on the backs of america that's a tough road to walk this is an american sport it's an american pastime and we're ruining it by traveling and you know they don't even care they're there because it's an event okay do some other event over there have the olympics over there whatever the f*** you want to do over there this football baby football is meant to be played in america on american great iron on american grass or turf depending on whatever the players association gets done this year turf but i just no they don't like the turf yeah they also don't like the soccer grass though i've heard that owners don't care it's okay they're paying to put it in and take it out then to leave it in for all the players and bad health positions okay what happened to health and safety okay what's that every time we go and play on one of these fields it's slippery as s*** everyone's getting hurt it is slippy over it very slippy went down in brazil and pat mohomes i was towards knee open jordan loved doing love did i'm not agree with yeah yeah just do his point thank you i mean it's just pigs get fed hogs get slaughtered you ever hear that one roge okay i won't play on wednesday through monday nothing sacred anymore in this goddamn country of the sport this is it's unbelievable it's unbelievable unbelievable it's not even a sport it's not even a sports argument anymore for show no yeah it's not don't certainly found a way to get his other s*** if you will but he's not the only one of fields this way you know and i think the insers they show up whatever 800 thousand at the draft you know it's like hey we f***ing are all in on football we are the football there's a draft the draft goes international i'm f***ing done oh that'd be safe i really hope that that will happen that will happen i'm saying no way they got to go to actual football towns with the draft they know that you got to go to actual football towns to play football it's a showcase of our sport of our league it is a showcase what about the troops overseas i want to watch ball then we should do it on an air force base or a military base okay i'd be cool not playing a carrier bingo aircraft it's not your home game you had your home game in ireland that's not the point see it's not even that's not you say this about ireland last year yes they take you to ireland they're taking you to france i mean what are they doing to you they're trying to make you explore maybe a little bit are they are you not christmas i'm trying to make me weak all those all those countries ireland day week don't don't even get me started on germany okay i guess we just forgot about what happened there we're just going to give them three or four games i mean germany has certainly made up i think in the world society i think i can't believe france has even hasn't withdrawn from this game yet see okay so you what year is this just so i know is where you get i don't forget it's twenty what these colors don't run these colors don't run brother you're alive huh my grandfather was he served he was on the beach as normity rest in peace at john grassy yeah great coach uh there's a game in italy right there's going to be a game in italy how you feel about that they're better how you feel with tone if there's a game in italy how would you feel about that as they don't use their balls as the football if there was a game in italy what would the tune that you'd be singing i don't like i wouldn't like it because it's the browns i wouldn't like it e pl international soccer they don't even play regular season games in the u.s that's that's a world's game it ain't what so you want us to be more like soccer in this in this circumstance say will you please say that in this circumstance yeah will you say it i would like uh i would like um european soccer they get that that's their sport and they keep it to themselves i would like the united states football league to do the same ufo yeah you like no the nfl oh okay you would like us to keep our game to ourselves yeah no international games at all zero wow zero yeah i don't think they're gonna listen to you tone i think no shit hey you know i think we passed that i just love the lack of reality that like you you can find yourself in you know how many years have they been doing international games 30 30 years i spent a long time they've been taking that's how long they've been trying to ruin this game she's always that's awesome super bowl in another country will be cool that old champions league or thing you just brought up like do they do the they've done the champions league in like miami super bowl in another country like the super bowl what has happened that you're not gonna realize don't worry fans don't even fans of the teams don't even we talk about this every year the Super Bowl fans of the teams don't even go no no not as many typically super corpo super super corpo it's all people that have bought Super Bowl tickets ahead of time who can afford them normally companies can tickets to Super Bowl let's hope our team gets there a lot of people doing that so it's not as many teams fans exactly on that note you want a bone your to the Super Bowl i did not say France okay what's everybody's french fries we're talking about this i did not say France but like ireland for instance if they went okay there you could throw italy in there if they didn't know in some cool area super bowl's gotta be here gotta be in the football city in one of these new beautiful stadiums some nice weather now one's a playoff same time all the beautiful all the new beautiful stadiums aren't football cities though like maybe in LA those aren't it's a football town i guess we can do that but they aren't nope apparently Paris is more of a football town than New Orleans i guess fairly i i appreciate they're growing the game and you know i think it's good for the future of the game it's hard to live in a moment that is being prepared for the future i think that's kind of across the board anything that is preparing for the future the moment is always going to suck especially for the generation that has to go through it yeah and yinzers are certainly not happy about it right now but what if what if tackle football ends up in the olympics would that not be sick yeah i don't care other countries don't really play football because i'm gonna be cold care about the olympics i care about the nfl okay i mean tone i you know telling the more he talked the more i'm starting to the Super Bowl one i immediately same way as Connor thinks like that's not really like die hard fans a lot of die hard fans can't get into the Super Bowl and also it's all a lot of pre-bots tickets so it's usually all greedy corporate fact-gaz priced them out exactly so if you're gonna do that i'm talking about too yeah so if you put the one Super Bowl game somewhere else and then all of the other games the you know national football the regular season games back home in america are they just aren't going on the ifl huh i don't like to talk is it gonna be the international football is saying is it's a slippery slope my friends into the tag of football in the olympics that would only set us up for failure what we either win gold or if anything negative happens it's the word how do we even lose there's no way any of the american lads will ever lose this is 30 years from great in 21 96 we're pretty far we're deemed to you we are all right hey way to go other countries thank you for embracing our sport great game 21 96 redeem team USA football that is that's a harsh reality to live in yeah it certainly is um bone sun is out there okay uh treader the new head of the nfl pa not just the head player of the nfl pa the head of the nfl pa uh obviously speaking about the grass that is entering every nfl stadium that has a turf field that is hosting a world cup game so the natural and easy thing to say to all these nfl teams is you'll do it for fucking soccer but you won't do it for us we had a whole hashtag a whole movement about getting the grass you guys stood firm and no can't do it can't do it won't do it and then the world cup comes to town and you got a couple five four four guys that want to flop around on grass it won't play you'll do that for them but not for us that has always been a player's position in this entirety since soccer has come over to the stadium jj watt soccer owner and also very much pro player guy like maybe the loudest the most pro player guy in the history he said that the soccer grass that they put on these stadiums ass like this isn't good this would not be good for nfl players as well because the i think it's slippy you know heavy physical contact a lot of torque on this grass a lot of push i guess soccer field's not built for that soccer grass is obviously different it's a little lighter it's a little softer it's meant for running not so much of like pushing and all that stuff so the grass that's going into these stadiums is nowhere near what football grass would inevitably have to be anyways so there's always a constant deflection by the nfl as soon as the players say this about the world cup soccer grass the nfl goes like you want that grass if we if we were to put that grass in every single stadium your guys's argument would look terrible because it would be the worst that we have so it's it seemingly has been one of these jc trevor those continuing to push for it do you think inevitably we end up in a time where there's all grass fields in all of our stadiums i mean what do you do for those places that are our permanent domes that doesn't come it's not retract walking outside like they do in arizona mm-hmm yeah i mean you have to retrofit some some stadiums i would imagine i yeah i think eventually we could get there we definitely could get there but i don't see it i don't see it happening anytime soon well i have a friend who was growing some stuff behind a false wall in a closet in college sure and he dropped down these lights okay he was able to put down in there sure and if the nfl stadiums just had the packers have them the packers have those lights they put on like starting in october where they roll across the field at like all night my guy could grow so i think you could get this grass to be they got take a tense on amazon to have everything set up where you could you could grow all your all the stuff you need right there guys pretty easy people are growing marijuana off amazon tense what's that oh yeah no finish this i was gonna say did you guys as players like did you always want grass okay so i will speak first and quick because these two guys certainly much more uh particular in this conversation to be listened to for me hardest turf possible give me cement okay go ahead a j uh yeah the opposite of what pat said i would think is what i would say uh it was always a thing where guys never wanted to practice on turf because you practice on turf multiple days in a row it is true like but when i like i don't know when the field turf came out but when field turf first like was invented it was made to wear like nubs like little soccer shoes it wasn't made to wear cleats and dig in that's the thing like when cleats dig into field turf and it torques your cleats stay in and then something's got to give and the turf is not going to give you're gonna get stuck in the turf boom we see injuries and they can say whatever they want at all the numbers aren't up and turf you don't get hurt more yeah you do you definitely get hurt more on turf when you wear cleats uh when you're playing professional football i believe but uh i would want grass as much as i can but also i'm realistic and i know it's probably not gonna happen you were talking about astro turf to begin there and then sport turf came in no i'm talking field turf i'm talking field turf was meant to wear like nubs on it with rubber way back in the day really yeah wear your catalyze yeah well because i thought you were talking about the original astro turf which was cement with green carpeting that was no that was safer that was safer than field turf when it came to like tear in your a c l and things like that because you didn't get stuck in field and old school turf like that because you're not wearing cleats you just get burnt well everywhere and you get yeah you can fall and don your head off of there and you know you don't know your name the rest of your life yeah forever just couple of those two maybe don't walk the the onside kicks on those things oh you're hitting that there was no there was nothing like trampoline you're straight off the concrete it's make man that would that's why i picked the concrete aj obviously had to run for a living and hit people and engage with people and torque and twist with people for a living which is much more like debut obviously corner and secondary have to be very explosive a lot of change of motion i would be intrigued to hear what you would like would you want grass i'm the same practice grass as much as possible now when it gets cold outside and that grass basically turns into rock i wouldn't mind a little turf game day i don't really care it's really really your opponent like whatever the opponent would prefer i would prefer the option if we're playing tyreek hill i would not want to be on the fastest surface possible but uh game game day i didn't really care long long as it was just decent there was i remember houston back in the day they would have the turf but it would have like lines and shit like west welcrox towards a cl like last game of the season i think my rookie year i'm just running on that turf so as long as this is some good whether it's grass super grass turf whatever i don't care of game day but practice give me grass as much as possible that houston turf got a few yeah because they were putting the strips in i think you have big seams seams yeah see running through there yeah i think they had a punter kickoff guy named brett i forget his last name he had kickoffs like 95 i've never seen anything like he got drafted to be a kickoff specialist basically this guy he would kick him 100 yards if he could i've never been more impressed with somebody's leg after watching him in the summer camp he got draft he ends up at the texans he he hold leg on a seam damn brett hartman yeah there it is yeah brett hartman what he do with his something happened with him on a seam right i'll look it up this guy right here he could this guy could kick a football 150 fucking yards if i've never seen anything like it it was it was i thought he was a donkey he's just got a fucking yeah his foot caught in a seam and towards a seed and fractured tabula yeah covering the kick while covering a kick or something yeah i think so and i he nobody really i don't think a lot of people knew of this man's existence as nfl fans you know what i mean but like he comes the a fc south i'd seen him in summer camps doing shit and i'm like holy hell i'm excited to watch this guy like in real life again and then it all ended quickly and then i think there was even some lost there was yeah he sued the uh stadium owner yeah and that would be considered grass though right so that would go into the stats of grass yeah there was a seam in the turf at reliant stadium oh no it's turf well was it turf that is called grass turf yeah well reliant was inside right so that was no that reliant had grass for oh yeah and they did have i think it was grass i'm pretty sure it was grass it's crazy i'm thinking it was grass because grass would be what they would be putting patches down over right they wouldn't just be putting patches of turf down in an nfl game yeah they had grass from 2002 to 2014 and this happened um this happened 2011 so yeah it was okay yeah west happened 2009 right before the age i didn't like how you said they can tell me the stats and analytics it hurts more that's what you said because remember we had dr stills yeah dr allen still allen i'm a fan who i'm a fan of his me too he'll sit in the pocket answer whatever he is the chief medical officer for the nfl he said we have these robots scanning fields throughout the season to tell us which turf is better at what time of year and it turns out sometimes a year some turf is actually better than other turf whenever it comes to injuries some of the sport turf newer innovations of sport actually like 4x some of the grass that was being used so he's they say there's conflicting data there's conflicting data because obviously there's different weathers from the beginning to the end but i think every player that's ever come out and said anything other than kickers and punters is like you're supposed to slip sometimes like if you have a 900 pound two guys leaning on you and your foot's in the ground it's supposed to chunk up and fall down and you're supposed to go on the ground instead of your whole body and your foot stays in the ground and then your leg just collapses they'll get figured out yeah i'm sure it will i mean it could just be realistic roger could say hey man like it's not very realistic to say we're all going to switch the grass all of a sudden like he could say that roger can say hey listen i hear you okay i'll bring everyone into the room to go talk to all these owners and tell them they need to put in the super dress okay i'm trying but they all have their own individual conflicting stats about why they're not doing it okay so you guys need to give me answers for me to go in there to answer all of them because they got robots now they got a i working on this thing and they don't want to change the shit so what's that stadium overseas that we saw that has the four and them hotspurs real does as well madrid those stadiums four that's not as great as everyone says though i've heard it the grass isn't like there's seams in that grass so and the seams in that grass also built for soccer grass so like soccer grass not built for 600 pounds gauge contact yet like being engaged think of like a three technique taken on a double team like that's a lot more stress on the grass than soccer players running around and possibly falling down at times and i think that's what jj was referring to whenever he said like whenever the soccer games come over and they put the soccer grass on top of the football stadium it's like that's not well that's not and that becomes the argument for the players all the time it's like hey you'll put grass in for them and then the NFL just goes you idiots is this you know it's always something it's always something but i like the trekkers getting after let's move to racing the pinnacle talking to have one no oh car yes okay and any car yes boys what month is it it's made me yeah there's checker flags all around yeah absolutely one of my neighbors painted a checker flag into his entire front hill of course like that unbelievable work i'm worried about the rain what happens if it comes but it's not it hasn't and it looks spectacular i appreciate that uh kathryn leg will attempt the indy 500 and the coca cola 600 double on may 24th becoming only the sixth driver ever to take on the 1100 mile challenge uh notable is in the past that have done this kurt bush uh also cal larson cal larson did it last year did toad steward yes steward's done smokes done it turn steward this is a very difficult thing obviously the indy 500 is here in indianapolis here in front of 300 400 000 i think it's sold out this year actually i already sold out they sold it out so that's probably going to be 400 000 people 450 000 people here in the fastest cars on earth racing in the most exhilarating racing that there is on the entire country planet earth in the country i agree planet earth only race that can go four wide we know that for sure yeah or will go four wide because their drivers are actually racing that's indy 500 kathryn will attempt to go from the indy 500 which is grueling gonna lose so much weight so much sweat it's hot as shit in there and obviously then she'll hop on a helicopter to get to an airplane which will fly down to charlotte which will hop on a helicopter which will get into another car race coca cola 600 that's 1100 miles you start doing the math and all we'd like to do is wish kathryn leg good luck the drivers have not fared well doing this oh maybe she changes it all good luck out there go get him kathryn it's a lot of racing a lot of racing hopefully no delays that's something that hurt call arson last year weather yeah rain delay a year before too they're in a holding pattern they don't like that need to get the plane done on racing yeah like well you can't it's raining pretty good well how are they racing then well it's actually outside of the race you can't get to the right correct that's the difference and then somebody else is driving and he's subbed in right yes yeah he tapped in he's a driver oh he's one of the best they said one of the best that makes me think about the pga championship yes it does michael blocky he's doing it he like you like go shit like he's there or he's gonna win it here's him from a t-box i need a big cheer you guys see that you guys see that little uh electrical pull in the background you see that thing yep that's my target no pressure listen philadelphia what john's saying oh i like it that's where i aim too i block right i think it's in the family no you gotta you gotta do the same thing for him though here oh okay blocky's having fun out there look how comfortable this guy is at first playing partner i would if i was just playing partner say sorry blocky keep me out of your shenanigans like i'm just what i just say you're thursday don't don't rope me into this thursday and friday dj so situation so yeah dj's part of dj's live punishment is he has to play with blocky uh what are we talking about blocky's having fun blocky and ross mus ross mus austin johnson blocky's in his tenth major now i will say this whoever that golfer was that was with blocky getting thrown into his as a j would describe it shenanigans i don't necessarily love i do appreciate the fact that we're at the stage of blocky golfing where he's about to play in a massive tournament and he's talking shit having a good time talking to the johns you see this that's what i'm aiming at oh it's still got the fairway boys still got the fairway and then the guys that have played that course a few times before go i don't think so buddy that ends up in the sand trap he gets booed and walks it off i like what blocky's up to yeah no you don't i like what you know the fuck you don't i love it i wish you do not and i'm i'm so happy for ty the family i wish ty was here right now to just go with his epic rinse but that's why that is why what do you mean people hate life what happened what is his shoulders do i i'm missing it i'm always engaging with the crowd trying to have a good time i don't get you cannot call out that you hit the ball in a fairway when you're a professional golfer and you know where every professional he is a fairway and it goes in the bunker that's a thick head move you cannot do that when you're a pro okay it's a pga i don't even do that why are we gonna trust are we gonna trust the guy who's tweeting on the internet is not real are we gonna trust the guy who striped the

decriminalized it's some line bullshit you're you're allowed to smoke weed and then there are like dispensaries and there was a wild west era where basically every bodega was selling weed and they kind of cracked down on that but there still are i think they're licensed dispensaries in manhattan okay so that's buying the weed are you guys in these legal states where is where in your house yeah like what what am i it's kind of policed by by you know the the general population you're you're allowed to smoke anywhere you might get shat on by commuters for smoking weed like right outside of the subway stop something like that for instance so i didn't have a balcony in my room okay so i am relying upon the outside of the hotel yeah to be where i can maybe try to fall asleep tonight okay so i can maybe have a day here okay that's what i'm trying to do tight little sidewalk very popular packed sidewalk because subway is right up here two feet maybe three feet here on the front of hotel so you like it right out and you're right in the action or whatever so i try to find corner try to find corner of thing plate tables everywhere smoke no smoking so i'm like all right i can't do this because everybody can stare me through the window so i get out into the walk sidewalk now i start smoking nasty looks from everybody i mean just just absolute scolding from their eyes just like what are you fucking doing asshole it's 730 whatever you know so we had to go find a spot there's like a little sit-down place around corner a little bit of space so i can keep away from each other good comfortable chairs beautiful right across from the brand new train station i do believe yeah yeah the new it's like an extension of Penn station it's it's pretty sweet beautiful fucking beautiful this
