Hello beautiful people. That is the NFL's draft stage. Tonight will be the second and third rounds. Last night was a historic first round. We're back here live on Friday. Football! He is the greatest. Coach Cowher almost got in there. Ladies and gentlemen, 20 years at CBS. Guest of the draft spectacular living legend, Pittsburgh's coach, Coach Karrs. Good to see you coach. Cannot wait to get your thoughts on the aftermath of what an exciting historic Pittsburgh. Round one of the NFL draft that certainly saw some surprises. Had eight trades happen. Kind of small little quick trades towards the tail end of the draft and also saw the shortest first round that we had ever seen. Two hours and 53 minutes of action. We obviously were very incredibly lucky to start the draft spectacular. The seventh annual draft spectacular with the football town premier online. So it was a special night for us. Special night for the NFL. There are certainly some alarming things that took place and also awesome things that took place as these two are losing their mind down here. I don't know how these people got in here, but I respect it. I don't know when the gates are opening for the injured to continue to fill in here, but we expect another massive day here because the weather is perfect. Yesterday was outstanding. The vibes immaculate. No fights. Yeah. No fights that were reported that we saw anything. So for Pittsburgh to have a beautiful Thursday like that with 320 some thousand people coming down here somehow getting in somehow getting out. We think today is going to be even better somehow with more picks and more experience. Let's go to the Toxic Table at Boston Connor and at Ty Schmidt con man. Ty, great to see you con man. Last night. A lot of different stories. Your favorite of the evening was what? Yeah, my favorite is probably the thing that I hated the most, which is the jets doing stuff that they normally don't do, which is good stuff. They actually took players that seemed that performed incredibly well all season long. David Bailey at the top. Fine. You know, that was kind of expected him or Arvell Reese. So that is what it is. Taking Kenyans, the freak and Omar Cooper Jr. Moving back into the first round that pissed me off. Okay. They get two sweet players. I think all of us up here would have been very happy with them being on our own teams. One guy's nicknames the freak. The other guy had some of the most iconic moments all college football season long with the Penn State touchdown catch at the end of the year and his performance in the college football playoffs. So the New York football just look out jets second round or second overall pick. The odds were changing. Sportsbooks had no idea what they were doing. Shrager had held on and said this is going to be David Bailey. They do that. I also liked what the New York jets were doing. I was like there was no leaks. None. Yeah. I was like they got it pretty tight over the hell. This is not Jets football. What the hell is going on over the AFC East? Ty Schmidt. Great to see you buddy. Miss a good one last night. I know it looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Wish I could have been here. But you know what are you going to do as you watched on? What was your big takeaway? Looking at the NFC North. You know I was I mean immaculate tunes right now in the background. But looking at the Bears and the Vikings. I think it's kind of to franchise maybe going opposite directions. Vikings we don't know after J.J. McCarthy. They get Caleb Banks and everyone's kind of saying like wow that seems like a little bit of a reach. Didn't have this guy going here. And then you look at the Bears who deal with the A&M and you know he falls right to them and it's like one of those things where wow unbelievable pick Bears kind of doing everything right. Very similar to what Conman said with the Jets. Like the Bears are you know continuing their upward ascent ascension and who knows you know what's going to happen with the Vikings. The Bears the entertainment. I'll tell you what Mad Mel had a great take last night. Sounds like a lot of the world agreed to it with it as well. I don't know if you heard but Mad Mel said if you find a white that is that athletic you draft. Go get him. That is what sounds like he's going to be a guy also an Indiana boy. Shout him. NFC North is kind of problematic over there for the Green Bay Packers. Who are the Kings of the North. Currently yes the Chicago Bears. And then also on top of it you know they're they're having all these picks Packers don't pick till 52 today and they still have you know they have a lot of holes they need to replace. So we'll see we'll see. It's got one half of the hammer. Cowboys AP tone Pittsburgh Steelers obviously represented very well last night. Place was going bonkers all evening was a true celebration sport. As soon as the Steelers made their pick. 100000 to 100000 people mass ex this we got to get home. There's only two roads out. Have you seen the parking. It's going to be crazy. But obviously the city brought it and the Steelers end up in an interesting situation now looking back hindsight with microphones and such. Yeah most people ever at the first round of the draft that was awesome. We all knew they were going to show up as a football town. But yeah there was some drama there was some controversy at the 20 and 21st pick. Obviously Dallas is on the clock. And then Steelers are on the phone with wide receiver Mackay Lemon out of USC Eagles trade up with Dallas. They take Mackay Lemon Steelers then take tackle Maxi and not sure out of Arizona State. And there's been a lot of the Yenders are really pissed. They're saying like oh Omar didn't know what he was doing there. I could tell you and I could promise you from you know maybe being around that building. They loved Maxi Maxi and not sure yesterday was brought up to us a few times whether they were going to take him or not. I promise you he was not a backup plan. They are very very happy to have him. They thought Mackay Lemon was potentially going to be available. Yeah. Maybe they go with a wide receiver which everybody thought they were going to have. We're certainly having a conversation with him. We have the video from the NFL Network. And it's Omar saying hey Mackay is Omar from Steelers. We're next week. We're going to take you if you're here. I assume Omar didn't expect Mackay Lemon to potentially be there. Maybe it was a thought of hey here we can get the Blitnikov winner wide receiver and then the Eagles make a big time play which is kind of the story of the night trades. A lot of trades kind of moving a little bit trying to get in front of maybe somebody else that they thought was maybe interested in a similar player. I think we're going to learn from Daniel Jeremiah a little bit about the Eagles take on that all. But I think the Steelers are pumped with the offensive. Certainly a player of need. What will he become. Who knows capability gap gigantic. This guy could be a 15 year 20 year first bout Hall of Famer. It's all said and done Ohio State Buckeye College Football National Champion. A.J. Hawker Hawker four guys in the first 11 for the Ohio State Buckeyes Congrats to Ryan Day. Crazy that Fernando Mendoza and the boys one big 10 in National Championship with that Ohio State team still existing. Other than that what was the story for you. You think last night. I think starting with one Ohio State Buckeye R. V. O. R. Riesko in number five to the New York football Giants. I think they're getting our Vell had five and then Maui Noah at 10. I think it's a great draft for John Harbour his first draft as the head coach of the New York Giants. I mean both these guys could be cornerstones of your offense and defense for the next 10 to 12 years. Yeah. And I like the smooth he has. It's kind of nice. You know it's kind of set in the town. I think we could tell it's working. Yeah. Sounds great. I don't know if it's a test. It is. It's very very consistent. Yeah. Sounds great. Is this live band right now. Is this a live sex. What is it. I don't know. It might be. Sounds like good. It's good. It's good. It's good. There's some good sex going on over there right now. Ladies and gentlemen. Absolutely. Coach Cowrock. Coach. We talked about the Steelers just a couple seconds ago. Obviously there's a lot of decisions happening in there. What else other than the Steelers do you want to talk about. Just to follow up on tone a little bit. I think the biggest thing you got to take away is I think they looked at offensive line receiver pretty much the same. And I think we all agreed there's more depth in the defensive line. I think they were okay with how that thing unfolded right now. So I think you'll be fine going to this day looking at a receiver or defensive back. But the team and I really thought did a great job yesterday was a Dallas Cowboys. I think they got a number 11 with Caleb Downs. I think this guy is a dynamic player. He's a hybrid type of guy. Then they go back. Remember last year they got Quinn and Williams assigned Rashon Gary this off season. They have now put him out Malachi Lawrence again. A tall lanky edge rusher. I think they've addressed it to things the secondary with Caleb Downs and then also with Malachi Lawrence. Love what they did yesterday. Yeah. These teams doing good stuff. You know we're certainly surprised. Am I sounding like an echo. Yeah you're echoing now. Something started. Now I think it's happened a couple different times. I don't know if it's me battling against somebody who sounds much better than me. Absolutely. But nominal shows about that which I think should be talked about last night. Cowboys have massive evening. Jets have massive evening. You know I think there's a lot of things in teams that certainly did well. I think they've held it well. Yeah. Absolutely. I think the show is good. It was great. How about right before the Pittsburgh Steelers pick like the lead up to that. I think they executed perfectly. The old mama while we were watching in real time. And maybe I had a couple I see like man. And maybe there was a couple Bud lights. Maybe there were some vitamins in the air. And we are certainly feeling especially because yinzers everywhere were celebrating their asses off for what was about to come. But like just in the moment being like oh mama's got to come right here. And then literally a half a second later it's like oh mom it's like oh and then they zoom out 300000 plus basically all singing renegade and then bring the boys. I mean it was it was a good show last night under three hours. Yeah. I think they did it. I think they really did it last Pittsburgh's showed up and they showed up. I'll tell you what it was electric. I am walking on here for the first time when I came by early in the evening. This place was electric. You can feel it felt like a Sunday night or Monday night football game at Acres short stadium. Yeah. And I know terrible tiles were thrilling. I'm telling you especially leaving Radio City musical when they get kicked out has turned us into a special event. Yeah Pittsburgh's not going to get a Super Bowl. No Pittsburgh's not going to get a Super Bowl. I think there's a lot of things that go with that. Bids yada yada yada weather money. I think there's a lot of things that just kind of check all the boxes of not going to have a Super Bowl here. OK. Other places the amount of money that they're paying for Super Bowls the pitches the weather the indoor everything else is much more conducive for a February football game that means more than anything. What this draft has been able to be though for four season cities or colder cities. The best is a celebration of ball when it was announced come to Pittsburgh town. Our first reaction was Pittsburgh would do well. Pittsburgh's going to show up. They love ball. Then we started thinking about it actually logistically. And then we started hearing from Yinsers because we all have friends still back here and family back here. And it was like I'm a little bit worried. I'm a little bit worried about Yinsers deciding to come downtown. There were signs from Penn dot that were like stay home. If you don't have to go anywhere stay in your house. Do not come downtown. It is going to be crazy. News were reporting like if you want to get trapped for maybe 12 14 hours. Don't come. There was a lot of potential doom and gloom. The weather being perfect. I think was like a bird called everybody like hey all the shit come deal with it. Let's do it. They showed up. We got another good one here today. Yeah. If you just can go outside and drink with another group of people and it's nice outside they are going to do that every single time. No the weather's been perfect. But I yes there was a lot of talk about how we're going to get down there stuff like that. Everything we saw like when we got out of here we went we didn't get out of here that far long after the draft last night like there wasn't any traffic or anything. Everything seems really smooth. Everyone was happy last night. It would perfect. Yeah I think it was a beautiful evening only going to continue through the weekend as I think Yinsers are kind of filing in now to try to find their open it. Local. We would like to introduce before we get our first guest up here. Ladies and gentlemen last night was a moment that wrapped up the entire draft a two time. Two time brain cancer survivor I do believe came out as a fan of the Seattle Seahawks in the moxie was outrageous. Grab the microphones is what up what up good. Good. If he did get you out. Can you hear me back there. Yes or screaming into the mic. I'm here to represent the 12s. Oh. Super Bowl. Yeah we love it. I mean the insers are certainly impressed. How could you not be a stud who with the make a wish program was able to announce a pick last night. Now he's joined us right now. Ladies and gentlemen Dylan I don't know your last name. Do you walk up here Dylan. Is that OK. Yeah. Here is this one right here brother. Hey. Hey great to see you. Yeah he can settle up right over there man. Just use that microphone right there. Yeah. Here we go. How are you dude. Yeah. Great. Dude how was last night. You killed it. We thought you own the moment. I loved everything about it. I had to come on now. Yeah. OK so you're a Seattle Seahawk fan. Yeah I've been my whole life. Are you from Seattle or that area. No so I'm actually from Columbus. Yeah. I hate center bill. I just what happened. I got a Dublin Kaufman. Yeah which you know you're from Ohio. Yeah. We play you guys every few every so often. You guys just always kill us. Oh I'm sorry about that. That's not every. He lives in Dublin now. So he's trying to he's trying to procreate. Like crafting. Yeah. Well I think crafting would beat the hell out of center bill. So facto I think crafting would also beat Dublin. Yeah. If I had to guess. If they had your toughness maybe they'd win some games of the center bill. OK so you're from Ohio Seattle Seahawks fan. Correct. We learned last night in a way you celebrate two time. Two time. Like let's make sure we talk about this. What happened. You had brain cancer. Yeah so what actually happened is it's kind of a miracle how I found out that I had cancer. It was it was a father's day trip with my dad. We were RVing like ATVing and my other buddy had a dirt bike in a Wayne National Forest which is a big forest in Ohio. And so I was like driving an ATV and I ended up like flipping it and it like landed on my head and like just cause my mom was you know freaked out about it. And then she made me go to the go to the hospital get a CT scan just because she she thought it was just like a concussion you know just make it just make sure I was OK. And then when they did that CT scan they actually ended up finding a mass in my brain. And they yeah they well they they didn't know what it was at first. So they just they found them bass. And the first thing they do was they sent me to nationwide children's in Columbus. And they took just excellent care of me. How old are you. I was 16 at this time. How old are you now. I'm not 20. OK so this has been the last four years. Yeah. So they find that they remove it. I assume is that how that goes. Yeah. Yeah. So they found it in like the end of July at like early August it was already gone. Like they it was a really quick. It had to be like it was an expedited surgery. And then like what was I going to go. Now that what happens it comes back obviously it has to come back. Yeah. Yeah. But so I got rid of it. You know I was I was good and free for like two years or so. And then so I do I had to do like regular scans every three to four months. Just to check up you know make sure everything's good. Everything's clear. And I was just on a routine scan and I was just like on the drive home and I got a call from the doctor and she was just like you might want to pull over like just kind of hard crushing was just like you know your cancer is back. It's time to fight. Yeah. And I was just like all right time to reload. Fucking go. Yeah. Don't be sorry. You were awesome man. Your story is inspiring. You're here with is this a lad a friend. This is brother brother. OK. I know he's bigger than me. I got it. Yeah. Yeah. A littler brother too. Yeah. Yeah. Well I know it's probably a lot and he's got an ankle or a foot so Ohio this guy just walked in here with a brace on a rugby injury rugby. OK. Most Ohio thing about. Thank you for coming. And obviously we know the whole family goes through this shit. So shout out to you. Shout to your family. I'm so excited you got to do that last night. And way to own the moment. Yeah. Yeah. You did. Hey Coach Coward has something to tell you. You know I just wanted to say to you that what you are doing right now is inspiring many many people and you're changing the lives of a lot of people. You're inspiring courage. You're inspiring trust. You're inspiring an attitude that says be blessed for every day that we wake up. So your sense of perspective is going to resonate with so many people and thank you for sharing your story. Thank you. Hey. I mean just immediately grabbing the mic and screaming. Good dapple. Yeah. We had to have known he's from Ohio. Seahawks fan from Ohio I would have never expected. Ever. But him grabbing that mic and doing what he was doing. I think that's when we were all like. Yeah. Yeah. You probably thought I was going to tell Dylan like you know Dylan we did beat you in a Super Bowl. That's so funny. That's where Pat wanted me to go but I did not want to go. I did not. That is not what I wanted him to do. I was going to go. I was going to make a. I would have put. Yeah. I think any of it would have been great. We what you did last night was fantastic. We appreciate you. Ladies and gentlemen joining us now is a man who got. He did the. He did it. Championship. They gave him the title. He got 29 right out of 32 for first rounders and I believe he nailed eight in the exact spot. That's the best by all the people that we know there's probably somebody on the Internet that's better. I apologize. We didn't see it. Ladies and gentlemen let's move to stay stay at Jeremiah. Hey. How you doing DJ. Thank you for coming now. Listen DJ you are in between Dylan who seems like one of the biggest badasses in the history and before Gidele. So let's make sure we have a good one here. Yeah. Yeah. You've never given me a soft landing. That's true. I know you're opening for Gidele here following one of the biggest badasses that we've seen. What a stud. It was. Total stud. That was an awesome way to wrap up the entire draft and let's talk about this draft. Number two was obviously an up and down whenever it came to who was going to go. The odds obviously were shifting and changing. David Bailey sticks there after that happens. What do you think is the big storyline. Obviously Ty Simpson getting drafted to the Rams. Yeah. Outrageous. Was there anything before that moment that you thought would have been big enough to carry draft night or did Ty Simpson to the Rams become the story immediately upon it happened. That's the biggest thing that happened. I mean there are still some twists and turns but all of them I felt like and we had all heard at least whispers of it like Tate at four surprise. Yeah. But that had been whispered around that they wanted to do something for Cam Ward. So there was a lot of things like that. I thought Cleveland was was really masterful of understanding that they could move back and still get their tackle. They did a nice job of kind of playing the board the right way. I mean look the headline is going to be 13. Tell me about it a little bit. Sean McVay. Oh boy. I saw a still shot. Yeah. He's pot. Yeah. A little bit. Still shot. In the still shot. Still shot. Coward did not love that we were judging off of the still for the video. I want I want context. Bill Coward said it this entire thing. But then we heard Sean McVay say he'll be battling against Stetson Bennett for sure because obviously we know this is Matthew Stafford's team. Here's coach. I'll keep that between us. We'll see he's going to compete with Stetson. OK. Then he had the fron face. And it was said that Stafford was told about this happening. The Green Bay Jordan love thing started getting comparisons because how close the team is to maybe a Super Bowl. So if you're drafting certainly for the future as opposed to right now ruffles some feathers. Daniel Lofsky was sitting over here saying fudge. Yeah. Unravel the entire story of Ty Simpson to the Rams because Ty even said Simpson that he had never talked to Coach McVay before. So this is a really fascinating dynamic especially its quarterback position for a franchise. We all have a lot of respect for it. Yeah. There's a lot of angles to it. I mean first of all for Ty like if you could script where you could go this would be the first choice. Obviously you go to an organization knows what they're doing. They know how to develop and coach quarterbacks scheme up quarterbacks put them in favorable positions. He doesn't have to get on the field right away. That's from that's from that's not. That's from his perspective from the Rams perspective though. You're a play away from a Super Bowl. This year Super Bowl is in your building and you've got the reigning MVP and your first pick is someone who's not going to see the grass for two years. There's that side of it and this is the one I haven't heard anybody talk about this. So we're all going to assume that Stafford's two more years right at least. So a mortal 10 more years. So you've got Ty did not start till his fourth year at Alabama. He's going to wait two years now and it fell over a six year period of time. You'll have played one year of football like that is a grand experiment to me. I've never seen anything like it. I don't have anything to compare it to. So I'm fascinated to see how the whole thing works out. Yeah me too. Coach Carr whenever we're watching the McVay stuff what do you think that angle always. I mean I think that's Sean right now just like tempering the expectation for Ty Simpson. I mean you're going to come in here and I understand your 13 pick was you still have a lot to prove and I'm going to let this thing unfold in front of my eyes. You know it's interesting that he has not talked to him. You know when we picked Ben Rothersburg at 12 and 2004 I didn't think he's going to be there. We had Tommy Maddox. I didn't tell Tommy Max. I mean they talked to Stafford about this the next morning I had Tommy Maddox in my office and he was not a happy. Has any quarterback ever been happy when this happens ever. He sat there and said you never told me you said you believed in me. You said I was a guy for the future. That this is BS and he started getting the other and Lallard at the very end I said are you done. OK I said at the same time I said I did not know he's going to be there. You sound like a very insecure quarterback right now. You are the starting quarterback and I think if you just approach it that way it's your job to lose. And right now I don't think you're in the right frame of mind to accept it. He's going to be on this team and number one I don't own explanation to you and own explanation to Mr. Rooney about getting the best player who's available for this team for the future. OK. Do we think McVay said because they didn't talk to me. Tommy Maddox and Matthew Stafford or not. Let's get that. Let's get that. I was just talking about the scenario. I was just talking about the scenario. Good story. Coach I want to ask you this because sorry about it. Not you look at it when you look at it over the years whenever there was a dispute right if there was an upset player I always thought it was an upstairs downstairs thing. Coaches are always going to saddle up to the player and say hey that's not me that's upstairs we're all together downstairs you can make good cop bad cop good cops always going to be downstairs you make bad cop upstairs. The conversations you have in that room is you come out there's got to be a consensus. Yeah. That means there's not going to be someone conceding the fact that OK this is maybe not how I want this to unfold but there's a bigger plan than this. And that's why he's since right now is we don't want to get stuck with Matthew Stafford and have no succession plan. Yeah. That's not a good place to be. And I think you find a better office but it's not really been a succession plan as you see where they are right now. So there's examples of why you would do something like that. Yeah. But I go back to the same thing with like right now we used to talk about where you were with Aaron Rodgers. You're one play away from from the Green Bay Packers will be in a Super Bowl. You get Jordan Love. And so you know I do think that you have to capture the moment because these windows come and they do go. And to me again I think it's a high price to play for a guy with a small body of work. OK on that note 15 games played. He talks about over a six year period. He won't even have a full NFL season worth of games playing. But a lot of practice and we like where he was practicing Alabama. We liked where he was. And we'll obviously love it with the Rams. If they welcome in that Sean McVeigh also has to believe in Stetson Bennett too right. I got it. Which he kind of has to. There's a lot of managing of how everybody feels and his manager egos. Yeah. We're just keeping everything. I know you're a 13. You talk about being a franchise quarterback. Ty I love you but you're going to have to be that number two first. Yeah. AJ your question for DJ. What about Delaney going to the Chiefs. Was that a surprise for you to go six. We knew he was probably going to be the first corner taken by going to six to just good Kansas City. I've taken them just where they were. But I think because of the Jermad McCoy injury with the knee and the uncertainty there to me I thought those are the top two corners and then there was a gap and I thought Kansas City we got to come away with one of these guys. And when you looked at the teams picking in front of them there was an opportunity for them to take a corner. So I mean I think they wanted to eliminate it. Let's just eliminate the risk. Let's just go get him. OK. Caden Proctor. Yeah. That was fascinating. That was a very fascinating decision especially with Bane was available. This is for the Dolphins. Yeah. Bane obviously Miami legend. Caleb Bounds I believe was still available. Caden Proctor we had heard a lot of things about like being a pro. Be a pro. Be a pro. Be a pro. It wasn't that. But obviously the upside is crazy. Is that what we're thinking for the Miami Dolphins. When his weight's under control we played really well. You saw that later in the season. But I mean the facts of the facts he showed up at 390 pounds. He'd not play well early in the season. So that concerned teams. But then you go through the process he got himself in better shape. He had a good spring. You know he'd go into the workout portion of the spring. And I think teams just saw the best of him. And that's why he ended up going where he ended up going. Congrats to him. I'm excited for him. He can change the entire narrative. He can take all of this as the driver to make him the best pro he could possibly be. Tone has a question for you. Last night kind of went how we thought it was with all the nine offensive linemen which is tied for second most of all time. But the strength of the draft that everyone was talking about is maybe tonight second and third round a lot of those corners didn't go last night. Boston didn't go last night. D Tackles to out there. What do you think the story of tonight is? Yeah. I think you hit him. I mean I think those are the big positions. Like you see a big corner run early. There always is a lot of emphasis on that position at this point in the draft. Defensive Tackles have been kind of dominated the second round. We saw two go in the first. So that was a little bit of a surprise. I thought there was a chance we wouldn't see any of them come off the board in the first round. So there's a couple of those guys and there's so many wide outs. I'm curious to see even though you might have and I might have some of these guys rated here if some of them have to wait a little bit just because they feel like if we miss on a we've got B C D and E we can get. Ty Schmid has a question. He was not here last night for you. There's water getting spilled off of the top of this tent onto a very important group of people right over there. Go ahead. Go ahead. Yeah. DJ you just mentioned the D Tackles. The Minnesota Vikings new GM. They take Caleb Banks and I think a lot of people were kind of like well what's going on here. Was that the biggest outside of Ty Simpson? Was that the biggest surprise of the first round and why do you think they ultimately went with him? Yeah I mean for me I'd heard the whispers about it a couple days previous talking to some of the information guys so it wasn't a total shock but he's the only player outside my top 50 that went in the first round. He was my 51st overall player. He didn't play you know just a couple games. He's had the foot the same foot injury twice now and when you see him I mean he's a he's a massive human being. He's got a lot in his body a lot of talent there but it's been a little bit up and down and you factor in the injuries. That profile you know we talk about profiles that's a second round profile so from that standpoint yeah it was a surprise they ripped it there at 18. Remember though if any of these guys play for five ten years it's a success. There's gonna be a lot of busts on that board from last night. That is what stats have shown us tonight. There's gonna be two rounds of dreams coming true. You'll be on the call on NFL Network. Ready to go man. How was the. You guys have fun last night. Yeah it was quick. Oh yeah. It was quick wasn't it. I don't know if you have a draft party or no. Yeah right here for himself. This was his draft party right here. He came up here drank a couple beers got hammered up. He was walking around was banging the microphone off the table. Just going yeah man. Yeah. For just man. He was so proud of himself. There he is. Look at him. Yeah. What's up. As he thrust it on my table. What is going on there. Well we didn't really have a setup for him. We just asked him to come over because we had a hunch that it was gonna happen during the day. It felt like everybody kind of heard about it. Yeah. And then Dan Orlovsky comes over. He's got half chugs and icy like mango which obviously we. It was more than half. You called him out. I did because it wasn't the whole thing. It was more than half. You don't come to Pittsburgh and not drink the whole beer. Watch. That's amazing. Thank you for playing. Thank you. That was very. Pat thank you Pat. No problem. I had to find out too. I've been a part of a beer. That's wasting beer. That's wasting beer. We didn't do that Pittsburgh. Whatever the case we did celebrate the hell out of last night. I hope you did too. We can't wait to watch. I'm gonna be making a couple picks tonight maybe. Oh nice. For the cold. So that should be a fun time. I'm gonna be a hot guy. So we'll see. I'll give you a shout out up there. Oh you do. I will. Yeah. I don't know what I'm saying. Take it. The Colts. Shoot. I don't know. Someone who's gonna stink probably. I mean you could. They could go for. They could go for a white out there. Jeremy Bernard. Let's go. There you go. DJ we can't wait to watch. Appreciate the hell out of you. Thanks buddy. Enjoy Pittsburgh for the rest of the. Oh it's been awesome. You're the best buddy. You're the best. See you guys. See you guys. DJ. DJ. How come you didn't draft him. He was quarterback out of App State. Nope. How come you didn't draft Daniel Jermont. From where App State. App State plays good football. You do. I know. North Carolina. How come you didn't. Oh yeah. You love North Carolina. I do. I forgot about how much you love North Carolina. NC State especially. Now yeah. And their hockey teams down there. Carolina. Yeah you do. They're up 3.0. Hey hey. Okay. We want to get down. You're back. No no no. You're the city's coach. You just got reminded. I just. Yeah. We did a sigh for the Hurricanes. Yeah. That's cool. Group on. Group on. Who's our next guest. Ladies and gentlemen our next guest is a man who is obviously at the forefront of trailblazing for sports leagues across the globe. I would say his model and blueprint is what every other league is going to try to follow. He's taken a sport that is obviously the best in the world and turned it into a worldwide business sensation. Up and to the right is everything eyeballs dollars games legends ladies and gentlemen alongside his beautiful bride who's standing right over there the commissioner of the NFL Roger. Good day. They do a commission to see you. See you sir. Always an honor. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. I got him. Shut up. Weird how. Like that. Got it. Yeah. DJ's really picky about where he sits. He's got to be he's got to be on the throne. Yeah, you get it. You ran the NFL network for a while. You had to get calls for him. Congratulations on that deal. Also, congratulations on 300 and what 20,000 congratulations. That's for them. Yeah. Okay, so Radio City Music Hall books or Rockettes event, they kick you out. They say you have to do the draft somewhere else. You'd been there forever. Obviously, we all remember the theater. We remember the Jets and Giants fans. Yeah. Now getting to do this, we ask you this every year because it seems to get bigger and bigger and it definitely did here yesterday. Is it also real that this is what your draft is? You're walking on there with a cart. And there's 300,000 people. We're here. I mean, the amount of everything. You mean, why do I wonder what they're doing out there? No, no. Are you excited about where it's at? And it's only going to grow and get bigger. And it is a great time. Pittsburgh. Okay. Two hours, 53 minutes. Great choice, right? Yes, definitely in football town. Two hours, 53 minutes. A lot of boozing. There was no fights. That is the most abnormal Pittsburgh thing of all time. It was like a celebration of ball. And I think you deserve a lot of credit for making this into what it is. Whenever you see last night, like what are your thoughts immediately and how pumped are you for the league? You know, I really think that what the, for any credit, it's the fans. It was just bringing it to the fans. And once you brought it to the communities, they just wrapped their arms around it and they made it theirs ultimately. And this is, this is the ultimate fan event. It's free. Everyone can come down. There's a sense of pride here in Pittsburgh, as you know, that we can do this and we can show off our community. So to me, it's just, it is, when you look out there and you say, I can't believe it's gotten this big. And then every year it gets bigger. It's, yeah, it's fun. It puts a smile on your face. I don't know if you've seen DMX. What concert was that where he looks like? Watsonbury. Yeah. And then obviously Queen at that Wembley Wembley back there. Hey, there's not a lot of people that with a microphone or command in a 300,000 person audience. Yeah, but they can sing. I'm just talking. That's bad. Yeah, but you did well. I think there was no flubs last night. You also dropped the yinns early, which I thought was a good play. But I think what we have learned through this entire process is you have a lot of history in this area. Obviously, Washington, Jefferson, about 20 minutes southwest of here is where you went to school. But you also spend some time here in Pittsburgh. I didn't know your ties to the area. Has it been special to get back here and have you reminisced it? It has. Yeah, actually I came in Tuesday night and had dinner with some buddies and actually the guy who owned the bar that I used to work at. So I got a chance to, you know, celebrate with them a little bit on Tuesday, which was fun because I don't think any of us would imagine one we'd be here for a draft in Pittsburgh. I'd be working for the NFL. I mean, that's like, it's surreal. Working for the NFL. Yeah, working. Oh, you mean the NFL is working for me? No, not that. I mean, it's working for all of us. I would like to say. Yeah, we're very grateful for what the game has provided, sir. Certainly your league. So you worked at a bar here in Washington at school. What were you a bar back? You're a bouncer. I was a bartender. You have to do everything. You have to stock. You have to bartend. You have to bounce. You have to do everything. Okay, then how do you just pipeline from that bar to the NFL? Is that kind of how this works? You know, I often say, honestly, a bartender was one of the best experiences I had working because you have to learn how to deal with people in unusual circumstances and uncontrollable experiences sometimes, right? But it taught me a lot. So I actually really treasure that experience. I'm happy you got to meet up with the boys from college. Go back to the bar where you pour drinks and have a good time. And obviously this takes place. Let's talk about some of the stories around the league, shall we? Tyson, Ty, sorry, not Tyson. Tyson getting hurt, getting drafted at five or whatever. Good for him or six, whatever it is. Ty Simpson get drafted. Obviously a big storyline. The bigger storyline for your league. What are we doing with these refs? This is a big deal. Is this not a big deal? This is the biggest deal. We, the coach, definitely he has his highlights with refs. You've seen him. You guys are running NFL films. I've seen that. We've had a few conversations over the years. We've talked about this many times. But players and coaches. I think players and coaches and obviously league people, but people associated with the league, I think understand the importance of refs more than anybody else. Careers are changing. Families have to move because of missed calls and everything like that. Reffing is a terribly difficult job. We all agree with that. But I think the reason why our show focuses on it so much because they're so important and what happened with those replacement refs, I think is not good. I like that you're preparing ahead of time for this, getting them trained. Where do we sit with that? And what are like, I mean, we got some real fears that some guy who's Reffing maybe in the science center over there who's doing a football thing is going to be refing in the NFL again. Like when replacement refs happen. What is the kind of the state of all that? Listen, the number one thing is we definitely want an agreement with the officials. We're not itching for a lockout. What we are trying to do though is make our officials more accountable, get the best performers on the field and make officiating better. Ultimately, that's what you want because when the real officials show up and they make a mistake, you're going to say the same thing. And so we got to get the best officials out there, train them. If they can't officiate at this level, we want to be able to make changes and we don't want to put people out there that aren't ready to be able to officiate at this level. So those are the real key issues for us, performance. And I'm hopeful that we're going to get there without going to a lockout. But that's, you know, that's something we've got to be prepared for because we're not going to stop the season. How abnormal is it that the players and coaches are on your side in a CBA negotiation and they can't publicly come out and say that. Obviously the players association has come out and be like, we hope their union gets them everything they need. But the players and coaches are also like, yeah, accountability would be pretty good in this entire process. It's an interesting negotiation for you. I assume. Yeah, but it's all I think even the fans are in favor of having better officiating, right? No, no, but we've got to have technology with this. This game is so fast. We coach and I talk about all the time, you know, you're going to have mistakes on the field. So how do we use technology to be able to correct that so that we do get the right outcome and we don't have people losing jobs because of the wrong cross? Can I just, I mean, I said, you know, we have the challenge system. Yeah. And I know we've talked about the fact that we can't throw a flag down with the challenge system. But if you give one review, one review per game, and a review means we can review the whole play, which then we can obviously then throw a flag. Is that been talked about as possibly an option to correct that one mistake that's there? Keep the challenge, two challenges and one review. ABS. And you're right, coach, but here I'm going to go back to the same thing, which you would ask as a coach. Are you just challenging one aspect of the play or anything that happens in that play? Anything that happens in that play. And I think I because I think again, that's the one review that you would have. And so you can't sit there and talk about at play being missed. So I'm talking about a review where you can throw a flag because we're going to review it. Any call. Any call. What about holding your offensive lines? Yeah, on the backside, some minor call. You want to be able to reverse it? No, you review it. You're reviewing the call for what the obvious air was. Okay, but then what's the obvious air? Well, I know. And again, I'm sure you have to work out what those stipulations, what those guidelines are. Welcome to Coach Goddell. I do think in terms of what you're saying, we don't want the face mask in the end zone. We don't want the big hit on the sideline. These are the obvious airs. And so I'm just saying from a review standpoint, you have one, it will not slow down the game. And you're going to have to pick and choose. And I think you can talk about, well, when you're going to use it, you're going to save that review for a big play in the fourth quarter of a game. Figure it out, Rog. Yeah. That's what usually ends up bad. Figure it out. Put him in charge. Okay. You know what? I think if you could isolate the things that you would reverse or you could throw a flag down for, that's the possibility. And then maybe you expanded at some point in time, but you got to get it in. And this year, you guys are allowing New York, I believe, if there is replacement refs to be able to assist. I think that's a good trial run to see what happens in the future. You guys are very much like a let's see, and then we'll maybe expand or get rid of. I think you've always been ahead of that. I'm excited to see if it works. Get a deal done, Rog. We need them. Got you. But we need them to be better too. Get that deal done. All those things. Another deal. Just do that. And we got to be able to throw a flag with officiat. Yeah. Listen, you need to definitely handle what Coach Cowher's saying. Last thing for me and then the boys obviously have all their questions assortment of 18 games seems inevitable. Okay. Nine games are just announced. I believe international. Congratulations. Australia. You're all the way over there. The game is growing at this massive rate. Obviously streamers and platforms want games. Congrats. I think on the YouTube deal with the five extra money night football games that you were able to get done. You can create any game that you want and be able to sell it. 18 games. Are you going to add a bi-week in there? Do you think the 18 games are going to get passed? And how do you resist the urge of just creating new prime time games that you can get billions of dollars for all the time? Like how do you manage what's the right black Friday game Wednesday afternoon game Thursday night game Australia game? Like how do you balance what's the right play knowing that everybody wants your shit right now and also the players aren't going to want too much. Yeah. I think the one safety has to be the primary concern. Right. If you can't do it safely for our players, we're not going to do it. And that's why I would say it's not inevitable. Two is I think this is the same issue when we run from 16 and four to 17 and three. We did it successfully because we did it with the players. We had taken on a lot of initiatives to make our game safer. And I think we did. And I don't hear from our players. They're not talking about 16 and four or 17 and three. So I think when you get to that point, double buys will be a question. Roster sizes will be a question. All of those things are going to be really important to consider to balance both with the players Association and with competition committee so that we can do it really successfully. But listen, I you know, I've been critical of our preseason. I don't think it's it kind of standard that we should be putting out there. I think season structure that includes the offseason that includes everything up to training camp and the season in the postseason. We should be looking at that all the time evaluating what's good, what's bad, what could we make better. And I think there's still improvements and doing that, obviously reducing preseason to be the top of my list. Every team have an international game. That's all I think Kraft came out and said that at the league meetings that that is potentially an initiative nine across the world right now, including I don't know if you can get further and play a football game, maybe Fiji. I don't know if you're able to put a game there, but obviously in Australia, every team's going to have an international game and how many more markets it looks like. If we if we went to the 18, you could do that easily enough where everybody plays an international game every year. How do you pick the markets because like for our YouTube show, obviously we get exact how old who where what kind of data you get on the fans and where they're watching and how much they're watching and how they're engaging playing the game over there. When we were over in Australia two weeks ago, we put 42,000 tickets on sale. They were gone in less than an hour that we couldn't process in that fast. And it's 100,000 seats stadium. We pre-sold 35 so we've got another 20,000 that were it'll go in a flash. So they want to see the game. We're big gun flag football as you know, it's a global sport. It's a great way to get people involved with the game and understand the game, understand the strategy, particularly young women, but also international fans who really don't understand the game yet. Easier to play flag. Definitely just put a couple flags down, put a football down, draw a line, figure it out. It's a lot cheaper and it's more accessible, but it's a pretty. Those are athletes out there. I don't like that. I don't like what he did. I don't like what he did to your league. I don't like that. I don't think I don't think it was a reflection on our league. I think it's a different game. I think what it demonstrate. Yeah, but where the boys told that the other boys USA football team or now forget USA football. Good luck out there. We need you to win a gold game. You're going to like our boys, our guys, the lead boys. We may not have had the right rosters out there. Yeah. Right. We didn't understand the game. Well, were they told like, Hey, you're about to get your asses beat by this team. I don't know if they believe that. And I'm not sure I could have told you that. We want to believe that either. I think we got the world's greatest athletes, but I gotta tell you, I was impressed with those kids. Yeah. And you see the way they dip and they move and hips, man. I'll tell you what. Dipper game. The run, the run, the run, the run. Now let's see you dip. Well, the penthouse, the penthouse to the outhouse move. That's the one. That's the one. They'll be able to ping-pang at full speed. Yeah. Because then Luke Keekley's like, Yeah. Yeah. And then Jaylen Ramsay at one point was like, nothing is. We are good at that game. Oh yeah. We are very good. And we need to win that goal, but I like the development. I like the growth. It's all going to be considered under your leadership though. So I'm happy that it is all working, but also you should look in the mirror sometime and be like, man, you took the best sport on earth from being a bartender at one point. Jack and Dye, it's pretty good. Do you have a heavy hand? How was your? I was real good at that. Yeah. For the lads. Bigger tips. Well, it's one of those bars that during the day it was a beer and a shot. And at night it got to be, you know, then. Yeah. Yes. A lot of smoking in there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But anyways, once you've been able to do the game, we all appreciate you talked about 18 games roster sizes. Coach has a question for you. Yeah. I was just talking about that, you know, and I think the roster size, Roger, we have 53 Reggers on the roster and 17 practice squad. I know it's 48 with eight offensive linemen. I mean, what is the number in your mind? It would be something that we would expand the roster to if we could make that next step. You know, coach, I don't think we've gotten to that point yet. Honestly, I think that's going to balance a lot of issues. I think part of it's going to be how many activations are there? Yeah. What happens on the Endure Reserve? You know, how fast can we move players from practice squad to the rosters and how many times we can do that? There's a lot of things I think that have to be considered in that, but I think there's still going to be is going to be very conservative. I think I'm 50. Well, you got 53 now. So you would you go to 55 or you talk about active active. Yeah, I don't see it more in two or three. He sounds like you're doing a little public posturing. What do you think? Well, I'm just I'm just saying with more games. I think I think a player's body only has so many reps in it. And I would like those reps, if you have a chance to of course, the game, not to have someone maybe sit for the next two weeks. We have their best sense of a football team in January and December because they we only have 48. These guys are having to play with minimal injuries, but they think injuries get more and more without rest. Having more players takes away the reps on the field. I've always said this before. It's why I used to shut down games and run the ball with the lead. A player only has so many reps in his body through a course of a season. And I would rather that body be healthy and ready to go in January than in the month of November. Yeah, Rog. Yeah, no, I don't disagree with that. But I think I think players are really great at watching their bodies, getting ready for the season, understanding the rhythm, the pace of it. I think coaches are getting better at managing that. But the competitive guys to me feel like they're letting down their teammates. So they will not come off the field. Did you feel like you were letting down the fans when you want to prevent defense and we all had to snooze and have a heart attacks for two quarters? Yeah, coach. So yeah, I tell you my record was when I had a lead of 11 points or more through the course of any point in the game. It was 11 points or more at any point in the game. Because I guess I would shut it down and run the ball. It happened to be 106, one in one. Okay, so he tells me that I am to play and prevent defense. I am preventing us from fucking losing. You're right. That's your job. 106, one in one. What happened on the one in one? Well, the one I can tell you about the one in one because Dick LaBeau was coaching the Cincinnati Bengals after I would not sign them back being there. And we had a snap that came from the snapper, went through the holder's hands. Not me. There was a special teams player. Stop looking at me. Okay. And the one was Michael Vick and Dan Reeves. And we caught up past the one yard line with Plexigirl Burr who caught the pass. And we did not score. So it was a tie and overtime. Now on that note, Michael Vick, you're playing prevent defense again. What a stupid. That was so dumb. What are you going to do? Run everybody to your end zone. Michael Vick. Just go deep and let them run, coach. I like that. I remember one. I remember that. I remember that. I'm getting criticized for the one tie I had. Yeah, I was here for it. My dad, you should see my dad. Booze remote. Booze remote. I'll get back to the league, please. It's more fun picking on coach. You have no idea. Yeah. I was telling you one story. So we were playing Tokyo. Okay. And Mr. Rooney goes, Mr. Rooney goes, hey, I think they want to play in Tokyo. I go, Mr. Rooney, we don't need an extra game. We need Tokyo so far. I sit next to Roger at the dinner. He goes, I go, I go, Tag wants us to play in Tokyo. No, he goes, I go, it's a long flight. He goes, no, if you go over the top, it's really short. I go, really? He goes, yes, not that bad of a flight. I'm going, okay. So I go, Mr. I go, we'll play. Roger told me it's not that bad of a flight. He goes, okay. He goes, we'll have to stop in Ireland. They go, no, no, Mr. Rooney, just go over the top. He goes, you can't go over the top. I go, fucking Roger. Did you already say yes? He goes, yeah, we already said yes. I go, I don't want. He was planting seeds. He was planting seeds. Let's get the Kraft and dumb ass here. Earth round. Don't be one of those flat earthers. It's so quick. That's my Santa Claus. Hey, just next question. Okay. AJ has a question for you, Roger. Yeah, this is one I believe Coach Cowher's pretty passionate about as well, the tush push. Is that something that you continue to look at? You could coaches continue to talk to you? Like how much feedback are you getting with that? And I'd like to get Coach Cowher's opinion as well on what he feels about this point. He knows. We've had this conversation too, but... You know what? It got very little conversation this year. The competition committee, I don't remember them even bringing it up, honestly. It may have got a short conversation. It did not come up at the league meeting. So I think people are looking at it and we're going to see it as part of the game for the... You almost do have an injury, right? I mean, I hate to say it that way, but there's been no injuries before. That's what was presented earlier, yeah. I mean, really? No, listen, we're concerned about the injury rate with that massive humanity going in there. But at the end of the day, we haven't seen the numbers. Let's hope we don't see them. I didn't like that that was the discussion around our league, either. I didn't like that the tush push is what had everybody jacked up. Now the success rate's going down, maybe because Jason Kelsey's literally everywhere else, but on a football field. But the Eagles not winning the Super Bowl this year. I think it's also a reason you put it to bed. Tony has a question for you, Kimmich. Yeah, Kimmich, I always tend to ask you where the next draft is going to be. Obviously DC next year, but the one after that. No, you're not going to answer that. But how long is the list of cities now trying to line up to get the draft? And what does it compare to the list of cities trying to get the Super Bowl? Good question, Tony. So there were 10 cities here scouting Pittsburgh doing this draft. So that tells you what the... The long list. It's a long list. And I think it's because more cities can actually host the draft than they can Super Bowl. The Super Bowl has gotten to the point where it's not the stadium size. It's really weather's an issue. But also it's just hotel rooms. All the other facilities are necessary. This is slightly easier, but it's getting more difficult. And so the draft, you know, the bar's being raised and we're going to probably have to start allocating the drafts a little further in advance because you need to hold the hotel rooms. You need to hold the facilities. I mean, look at... This is a great location, but it's also got great facilities here. You don't have this in every city. Yeah, I think Pittsburgh's excited for it. I'll tell you what, the locals, us included, were a little bit worried about how anybody was going to get here. And then last night, you know, the population of Pittsburgh's like 303,000 or so. So they're being 320-some thousand. Who are those 17,000? Yeah, I don't know how everybody got here, but we are certainly pumped for the weather. Yeah, but don't forget, there's one other great factor for this community. It is accessible to so many NFL markets. So we saw a lot of fans out there from other cities, which is also great for this community. Yeah, absolutely. That's why Indianapolis would be a phenomenal host for that. Ty has a question for you, Commiss. Yeah, Commiss, a couple of years removed from the dynamic kickoff now. And, you know, Coach Cowher was telling us last night how much he loves the new kickoff, loves everything about it, loves the way it looks. For anyone who still doesn't really like it, I assume all the data that's there, everything's good. And is that kind of like, hey, if you don't like it, this is kind of what we're sticking with for the time being, or is that still being tweaked a little bit? So we did tweak it this year. It was really just more on the formation side of it, but we think it's going to help, because we're always looking to see, can we make it safer? The only two players that we didn't get the kind of safety we wanted were the returner and the tackler. And a lot of that was technique. We had some bad technique on some of those concussions on the kickoff. But also we think the formation might help where we can get a blocker over there, and it might help shield that a little bit. But listen, we brought 1,100 returns back into the game, an exciting play. I think it's hard for people to adjust visually. You look at it and you go... There's no line of script. Yeah, what's going on here? Yeah. And the president always says, the ball's in the air and nobody's moving. And I get it. But I think you visually get used to that after... I mean, it's a year and I'm not... I think people got used to it at the end of the season. 33-yard extra point was also weird. Now it's just natural. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. Exactly. So, listen, I know you'll agree with me. I hope you will. Despite coach ripping it, Special Team's ball is part of the game. He's Special Team's guy. He used to be a Special Team's guy. I know, but he was just... I agree. Yeah, it's part of the game. You were wrapping him because that was one of your games. The Special Team's lost your one game. It did cost you one game. I was hitting yard each and that and the return game is a part of it right now. And so, listen, I'm all for the return. Again, I go back to the season. No, I know you are. I know you are. But I think it brought all the Special Teams back in. I think so. And if you want to want the other way, I mean, all the Special Teams would have immediately started getting cut. You put a spotlight back on it. It does look weird for sure. I think we all agree with that. But that's been a kickoff drill in practice for NFL teams for 100 years. Absolutely. Let's save the legs. Let's not run as far. So, this is only going to get better and better, I think, as you guys continue to evolve. Thank you for that. We got to get out of here at a hard out in like a minute and a half. I know you have a busy day. I'd like to commend you for 10 minutes to eight minutes, two hours, 53 minutes last night. Feels like you found your stride. I think all the networks ourselves included are going to have to figure out the new right because when the draft pick happens, okay, we got a video feature, we got a conversation, we got an analyst, we got a story. Yeah, you got a lot to get in. So now, I think with how it's going to be, which I think we all like by the way, 253, just have to adjust it a little bit. I think what you did was special. I think last night was sweet. The show was incredible. I think you felt the same. Yes, the pace was much better. And listen, it didn't seem to hurt trading. No. We had a lot of trades. And that was, I think, a worry of some of the clubs. But at the end of the day, you know, I think Coach McCarthy said it really well. He said, I got to make a decision on my play in 40 seconds. 100%. Yes, he did. I could not agree, Roger. I think it was the best thing you could have done. I think all those places right now makes you have to make a decision, you know, sit there and wait, whether or not you want to wait to see a phone comes. It's going to come a lot. Yeah. A lot of the conversations are taking place, of course, in the day, in the day before, because they know right now on that day, you got to make a decision. Yeah. I thought it was fun, man. I thought you guys did a great job. It was great. Well, did I see your first draft was six hours? The first round was six hours. That was McCarthy put out, I think, in the tweet. 2007, it was. It used to be. B-Mac, was it six hours? Six hours. The first round, his first draft, was right there in the tweet. Holy shit. Jeez. That's what, those are Mike and Mike. No, Mad Dog. That might have been 15 minutes. Was that 15 minutes? It's probably 15. I think it was 15 minutes. That's crazy. Six hours for one round. Yes. I'll tell you what, the first one we did seven years ago, it felt like it was like a 10-hour show. Yeah. Last night flew by. It was a blur. Like we were at, it felt like 23 to 32 was just very quick. That's where it really sped up, by the way. And on that note, your suit looked, hey. Maculott. You look like a president last night. Perfect. Yeah. I think you did it. I think you really did. Hey, how's your back anyway? Didn't nobody give you a big hug or anything? Like, like. There were a couple that got to me, but it was, it was all right. It wasn't bad. It was kind of tranquil. There were less big boys last night. Yeah. How many, there was three. Nine. Three dogs. How'd you feel about Fernando not coming to one deal with his family? It felt like he was the right decision. I understood what he was doing. I respect that. Listen. But it is kind of the, hey, you're getting welcomed into, you know, it's an interesting dynamic for you probably. It is, but you know, you have to respect the considerations that he had with his family. And I totally get that. Totally get that. I think the Vegas Raiders got a good one. I did appreciate seeing this whole family celebrate. There was a couple of clips that people put out. It was like, well, he got a call and then it was announced on TV. Yeah. So it's two different moments. I think people were attacking him. But what the draft has become is special. I think people are honored to be here. There was a guy that didn't get dropped last night. He was staying for tonight, right? He's coming back. I talked to him last night. Yeah. Great kid. Great kid. He's excited to come back. The make-a-wish stuff, I think was really good. I mean, everything, it was a great show last night. You made Dylan a star. Yeah. He couldn't be happy. Dylan made Dylan a star. The Taps family, the Giants. Yeah, that was good. When you were telling his story, Dylan. Yeah. And you said he's a two-time, I've never seen somebody flex that. Two-time, two-time. Like that was, that was good. He's from Ohio as you could have guessed. He's a great kid. Yeah, he's awesome. Great kid. I thought he was going to eat that microphone. Yeah. Whiz Khalifa, Brett Michaels tonight. I assume there's more surprises. I'll be making the coats pick. A bunch of people are going to be making pics for their teams. I'm going to give you a good name tonight. We're going to test you tonight. You know what happened last time? Uh-uh. What'd you have? I changed his name entirely, like three years into his career. And they run my clip. I look like the biggest asshole of all time. Bobby O'Kariki out of Stanford is how it was. Three years into his career, I think he changed it to Bobby O'Karike, which is proper pronunciation I do believe from it. So everybody, as soon as he announces that, he said, I just feel like people call me the right name. Immediately, I get sent out there. Including Macapee, yeah. Exactly. This is how people have been disrespecting him. His entire culture. I'm like, well, I read a card. I read a card. You do a great job. By the way, that's out there still. There's when Brett Farber was announced, it was Brett Farba. As I recall, right? So, and I always remember that you never want that to happen. Oh, it's the biggest thing in people's lives. And I appreciate the fact that you seemingly still understand that for everybody. After everything you've- We work at it. I got a lot of help back there. Let's just put that away. It's awesome. Incredible team. V-Mac looks fit too. I mean, look at him. Well, let's not go too far. He's a power player. You say, man, you want to go donate $100,000 to some local charity with a field bowl kick in the same size? Sure it is. You probably do it. Honored to be here. Thankful to be here. You guys have taken over the city. You made an incredible festival. Everything you do is big. And it's an honor to watch you work. How long- How much longer are you doing this for? How much longer do you just have a new deal? You talk to that young lady over there. How long? How long? How long? My white Jane is in charge of that one. She's a pass, by the way. Absolute beast. But how long? Is it four more? I forget. I don't even pay attention to that. I'm just focusing on the job, Pat. He's like a player. He's not like a player. As long as I can get to the line of scrimmage, I'm going. You're good. You keep dodging everything else. You're still fighting. When we have our dinner, we won't be dodging. Yeah. Except when the check comes. That's when he dodges. We saw that. I know. You're the best. Ladies and gentlemen, the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell. Thank you guys. Thanks, bud. Thank you. You're the best. As we head to a heart out here on ESPN on this Feel Good Friday, around two, around three of the NFL draft happening this evening here in beautiful Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the next hour, Curtis Martin, what a legend. Sir. God, it's an honor to see you, dude. Appreciate you, man. Yeah, great to see you. The stars are out. The legends are out. The next generation of NFL draft picks continues to be announced here tonight. We're back on the other side. Wiz Khalifa will join us. As of many others, goodbye. Tonight will be the home of the round two and round three. We'll be back with more of the best of the best. We'll be back with more of the best of the best. We'll be back with more of the best.

We'll be back with more of the best. way too early coach. You start way too early down there. Talks to table zero at Boston Conner and that's high Schmidt boys good to see you con man I see with the Kenny Woods quarters that feels like we've been here for a year. Yeah it has been fantastic. Yeah it's amazing. I mean Pittsburgh is just one of those cities it's very easy to fall in love with Kenny Wood from the start was incredible and then just experiencing all the people. I feel like there's been multiple times where we've just run into whether it be someone at the hotel someone at the restaurant at the tap room down there at the Omni like the accent needs to be known more. I didn't know the Pittsburgh accent till I actually started working with you guys and knowing what Pittsburgh is all about. It is comedy. I mean I will think about going to Krafton and going to Seraphino's Seraphite for so long just the interactions. I mean at one point a guy came in shook both cowers hand words were said that I didn't even understand and then it just ended with a like those interactions you don't get it like everywhere in Boston is a very similar place so naturally I'm drawn to Pittsburgh but even just going around and just salt with the earth people man it really has been an incredible start to finish. That's Joe Kaguar he's the owner Seraphino's he's from Krafton. Obviously Bill Kower from Krafton a part of Pittsburgh is about four miles up over that hill over there. He has a lane that was behind his house where he grew up called Kower Way now. They wanted to give him a bridge. They wanted to give him another he signed do nothing on it. It's up in the back of my house here. So we got a chance to really experience a Bill Kower reunion with Pittsburgh. He's certainly been welcomed back here as have we tie. It has been a fascinating thing. It really does feel like the city. This city knows us. I think it is a very fascinating thing being from here. OK. I used to roam this parking lot. Yeah. Having a cool. I mean many a time. I mean a great time. I mean that's science center that we did the event at every kid in Pittsburgh took a field trip to as a child. We run at the whole place out and had it. It was like this has been a fever dream. Kenny would win our own. That's the wildest. Exactly. That's the lot of all of it's been the wild. Coach Coward is hanging out with us. Yeah. I mean it has been a fever dream and I think we all have felt it right. It's not just me and telling that have kind of experiences alongside Nick. No I absolutely and I think you know watching the football town not being from here like it gives you kind of an idea how much I mean everyone has pride in where they're from but like that kind of just took it to another level and that was a nice little precursor for the week and it's crazy to say but it seems like you know God is smiling down upon Pittsburgh this week with how nice the weather has been like you said that before we came out here you know it's like hey I know you guys are looking at the weather it says 72 to 80 and sunny like it's going to rain. OK. It's going to rain a bunch. So just kind of jot that down. That's going to happen and it hasn't. This has been of all the drafts we've done. You know and it was very special for me last last year being in Green Bay and everything but the way Pittsburgh showed out the weather how much fun last night was like they've hit it out of the park. This has been an incredible week. I got emotional last night 10. There's a couple different times where I looked that way and there's just a sea of yinzers just a sea of yinzers having a good time together. Like literally I think that is something that we try to promote. We would like everybody to just have a good time. That's why we like sports. Sports are a place where people come together all different backgrounds and have a good time. Now that good time can become terrible. Sure. If you're like a dolphins fan or something. They're saying but watching yinzers come together the way watch our city get kind of showcase the way it has been and then finding out you know that Raj has actual yinzer ties spent five years here before he went to the NFL. I think he worked for one of the steel mills. He wasn't in the steel mill but he did that part. I mean it's just like this has been a special couple of days. I got emotional last night a little bit. Yeah I did too. When we first walked up here when we first got here and you just kind of look out. I got chills. I got goosebumps because before we did this I would have been one of these yinzers standing out here just hammer drunk yelling things that you guys that would that literally what I was doing. So I was like that like that. It was it was odd. It was cool. Super cool to see the city looks beautiful. Everyone's been awesome. Yeah. Normally like when we're in cities like this and we have any downtime taking some time to myself in the room. Yes I actually got out by myself and walked around like it just felt really cool to be home and like just to feel it again. It was awesome. WrestleMania was like five days ago or something like that. So it's obviously been quite a blur. But AJ Pittsburgh has kind of won you over. It feels like you feel like you're a yinzer now. I mean opposed to an Ohio bomb. I wouldn't want to disrespect the yinzers by claiming to be a yinzer. But I feel like I understand them a little bit more being here spending spending some time. I've been you know I played in Pittsburgh. I've got plenty of friends from Pittsburgh. I have friends from the Youngstown area who they definitely identify a lot of the Pittsburgh things are pens fans Pirates fans. But no I don't it's like a it feels like a one big family here. I think Pittsburgh is a big family that is communicates. They may fight a little bit may argue a little bit back and forth. But they they they fight hard. They love hard. I love that. I love everything about it. We've had a good time and to be honest haven't been able to really go out. Which was a little bit of a worry because restaurants were like we're not actually packed to the girls. Then there were some places some hotels were like we're only at 70 percent occupancy or 80 percent occupancy or something. Yeah. They listen to Frank. He goes eight hundred dollars. Yeah. Yeah. Right. I'm not going downtown for eight hundred dollars. I was worried. I was very worried. Penn dot and I said it's in the first hour we learn it's putting signs up on the highways. It said a parkway. OK. Kind just goes through time. OK. It's the one that is the tunnel. The tunnels are connected by the parkway. That is the two lanes in two lanes out on either side to the south hills through Fort Pitt to the East Hills through Squirrel Hill. OK. The parkway is that it signs on the parkway facing both ways saying don't don't think about it. Just don't you know what's about to happen. Signs are saying that on the road pull over get out of your car. Walk home. That was kind of code read was basically the statement three hundred and twenty some. There was a lot of hinges because you saw him after the pick was made last night. How much. Mass. It is. So tonight should be special. I love that the NFL draft has become such a big deal. I like that we are part of it. How long would be a part of it. We'll see. Get signed up for some stuff that I just found out about this morning. I don't necessarily always love that type of shit trying to balance right now. Sure. Been good to me. It is Pittsburgh. They've been good to me. That would be a terrible three hours of my life. At least. But sounds like you've already said it's going to happen. Don't love that type of stuff. But it's a part of the festival. So like I am lucky and thankful that we're here in a appreciative of the city kick and ask you mentioned something there which we certainly have to talk to NFL draft. The rating is going to be higher than anything else is happening right now. There's going to be more interest more discussion because that's what the NFL is right now. We're in playoff season right now. And tonight is actually a massive evening for all of the con man. We I didn't get a chance to see it. We none of us got a chance to really watch play off anything last night as we are plugged in. Shrager was actually raw dog and his entire thing without his entire playoff. So very active right now. Con man. Yeah. And you just mentioned the ratings. I believe the first games for the Penguin series against the fires the Bruins series against the Sabres. And I want to say the Wild series against the stars. All those games are up over 100 percent from the year before. I think the pens got over 2 million people. But yeah to your point that series isn't going great. There really isn't too many great NHL series right now. I think there's three of them that are 3 0 pens flyers flyers are up 3 0. Unfortunately we have to talk about the Carolina Hurricanes are up 3 0. Yeah. We have the graphic here. And then also I think it's the Avalanche up 3 0 on the Kings Bruins loss last night. That's just going to happen. I got a couple game threes coming. The spacing of the games has been weird. Utah tonight this will be the debut of the Utah mammoth. You know in the playoffs home opener Salt Lake City kind of gets to show out a little bit lightning Canadians both of those games have gone to OT. That should be a great one. Oilers ducks also surprising. McDavid not just kind of run in rough shop against everybody. That'll be a good series then basketball kind of the same thing except the other way. We thought it was going to be a bunch of blowouts 3 0 something like that for a bunch of teams. No no the Raptors got a victory last night against the Cavs. That one was huge. The New York Knicks are down 2 to 1 against the Atlanta Hawks. So soldier boy came out just in the middle of some random time out in the second quarter last night. Soldier boy of being this old. Yeah everybody was cranking watch me roll. Yeah they were cranking it like Trig's. 2005. That just took me back. Yes. Say this. On a table. Mixed down to one is crazy. The story. The nuggets are down to one to the wolves and man showing up like the NBA first round as much as we kind of dogged it has been much better thus far. The spacing of the games again is weird Lakers Rockets Game 3 Celtic Sixers Game 3 Spurs Blazers Game 3 even though it started you know over the weekend you would think that'd be a little further when we traveled. Is he playing. We know when the spread would say when the probably isn't playing because it's only two and a half and he bopped his head off the ground harder than any history of basketball. But we'll see on Amazon tonight. Tonight is the playoffs. I think first time since the play in debacle. I don't know. We'll see it but others should. We will certainly keep up with it through the highlights and scores second and third round of the NFL draft is going to outrate everything. Yes. No doubt this weekend. Fourth fifth sixth seventh rounds. Those are going to do massive numbers because it could be anybody. A. J. when you think back to last night Caleb downs obviously the Cowboys we think is huge. Our Val Riz go in at some point. Obviously a big deal. The Buckeyes kind of getting pushed sunny styles to the commanders. I think that is a gigantic play. When you think about all the decisions ever made. Which franchise do you think actually changed last night. Vegas Raiders. Hey obviously that's an easy answer because they draft what we all think is a quarterback of the future. How many games he wait behind Kirk Cousins for. He gets to play. I guess that's kind of what we're all waiting on. Kirk Cousins knows this offense. Didn't really know the Atlanta offense. So I think there is a little bit of a resurgence potential for Kirk Cousins out there. David Bailey the Jets not having any leaks. Yeah. Sportsbooks were wrong. That's crazy. Sportsbooks have all the leaks you would think because they're obviously trying to most at risk. Yes. For having information. So they are aggregating every piece of information from every insider. They had no idea. That's very abnormal. I think for the Jets organization as a whole. I think that's a good sign for them as a whole. Go ahead. I like the Jets with Kenyon Sadeek and Omar Cooper Jr. You talk about adding some offensive firepower. That's what they need. And is everyone already saying hey they're going to be terrible this year. But we're working for 20 27. Yes. That's legit. Obviously next year obviously in the building the head coach the other assistants that you have they're not saying that the players still feel like they have a chance but I feel I feel like they absolutely got better last night. Now once again you can't really judge a draft until two three four years down the road. I guess. Yeah. I know we judge right. You're judging it. You know how like you know guys that tattoos when I was when I was coming up guys that tattoos only God can judge me. And I'd say that's true. But I can't do I'm we're all judging you as well. Like a couple of my buddies had a misspelled as well. So that was no serious judgment. Yeah. OK. So let's go to a clip here from last night. Tony I can't wait to get your take on it. I would also I don't know. You guys can't see anything right. Can you see. Can they hear. Can you hear. You can hear. Oh. All right. I'm excited to get your guys's opinions on this situation from last night which has the insers in a stir. Let's go. Let's go. Hey why. OK. So I don't like that guy. Why. OK. That agent. He looks like a scumbag. Yeah. So I think a lot of insers think that Omar gets played here in the Eagles beat him again. I've gotten text message during this show. Santa you're going to talk about Omar getting beat by the Philadelphia Eagles. Who said that. I don't want to give exact names. They were at the event the other night though. And I will say that this is a pretty negative reaction from the insers fans. And would you rather. I think Kyle Evans could be a good football player. OK. I'm excited for him and Siri Oni in that locker room and Jalen Hertz. Sure. Yep. To all figure it out. Sure. OK. I'm certainly figured out for that. Offense aligned though in Pittsburgh they end up with it feels like an interesting reaction here by the insers that I didn't fully expect. But Omar's got heat right now. So you know you. We've talked about it all today that you know. Yinsers. So Mackay Lemon is the bigger name. He's the Blitnickoff for War Winner for years for the last four years. Seals were known at being great at drafting wide receivers. And then over the last couple of years is what we struggle. We don't have any wide receivers. But so for years the Steelers fans have been in the craze about getting wide receivers. So yes. Mackay Lemon following obviously Steelers fans they know him. They see him. He's a wide receiver. They want him. And then the Steelers take Max and not sure after that the video comes out. So they think that he's the second pick or the second choice for their stillers so they don't love that. Then also him not playing football till he was 21 years old or sorry. 2021 and being maybe like labeled as a project. And then they think the Steelers are a win now team but you draft a project. They're just all of that combined makes them really mad. But as you know and I know we know that the Steelers love Big Max and I think they are very very happy with that pick. I'm very very happy with that pick. I watched his tape last night against David Bailey. I watched his tape last night against Malachi Lawrence. It's incredible. I'm very very excited for this. It also feel like there's been a little bit of a turn like because the last couple of Super Bowls with how much you need O-line and D-line that when these O-limon get drafted it's not anymore like oh great unless granted. Unless your O-limon is named after a donut brand and is addicted to pop like for the most part people when they get O-line in now allegedly people when they get offensive line now are juiced because it does immediately kind of result in those victories. Most offensive linemen picked in first round common draft there in 1968. Boy the big boys were good. That of them were running the ball 80 times a game. The offensive linemen nine last I thought it was 10. I guess that guard didn't end up getting picked towards the end. That was potentially going to get taken seven offensive tackles two guards. So nine in total for the big guys. AJ I think that's indicative of where we are in football. I think it's a good thing to we always talk about football being sick of going all this stuff. And it's going back to the old school days. Now it's never going to be three yards in a cloud of dust. That's an old old school Woody Hayes Ohio State thing. But yeah I think con man's right when you think about O-limon getting drafted in the past. What do you hear like a groan from the great back in the day they cut at Radio City Music called to the section of that team's fans and they're all like OK. And they don't really they don't really know now I feel like fans are they're informed and they understand OK this is an absolute must if we want to win. Stephen Jones of the Dallas Cowboys made some plays last night congrats to Cowboys. Good Caleb Downs were obviously a massive fan trade up and make that particular play. They also came up and said hey we're not trading George Pickett's. He's going to be playing on a franchise. Malachi Lawrence ends up as a Dallas Cowboy Caleb Don's ends up as a Dallas Cowboy. Lot of moves made by them. George Pickett signed his franchise tag yesterday. That came after the Dallas Cowboys came out and said he's playing on a franchise tag whether he likes it or not. OK. That is kind of the messaging that came out there. We know that George Pickett's former Pittsburgh Steeler is represented by David Moolageta. David Moolageta is the man who has the most amount of guaranteed money in contract negotiations with the NFL at every single position. Would he want his client or advise his client to be playing on a franchise tag which is something that nobody really wants to do. We would assume business wise Moolageta would say no to that. But does George Pickett's one another year of guaranteed money for a chance to run up the bank account yet again after having his best season that he's had as a pro. I'm excited to see how it all plays out. But it feels like George Pickett is going to be getting traded from the Dallas Cowboys. But the Cowboys publicly this early coming out and saying now we're not trade is a crazy situation in Dallas. I really don't know what to do because I love the draft. I love what they're doing. This George Pickett situation screams Dallas Cowboys drama coming right around the corner. Yeah it definitely does. And it'll be interesting. Again we don't know what their relationship is like behind closed doors. But it'll be interesting if Jerry's tenor changes towards David Moolageta because with the whole you know Mike Parsons thing he was kind of dismissive and just like I don't talk to the agent. I don't really communicate with them. I had a deal in place with Michael. So you know and obviously as a yeah as an agent you can't. I'm guessing you know David Moolageta is probably not holding a whole bunch of deep seated grudges because you know you have to work with these guys. But yeah I think that was kind of everyone's initial thought when we saw that George Pickett's got franchise tag was OK this guy's going to get traded whether it's tonight or you know the next couple days. We potentially saw Moolageta just hours after the George Pickett news was announced and took him a little bit longer to get into the event than some others. Yeah which I don't think he was necessarily thrilled about neither was I strictly because I don't think people knew exactly who casual hoodie jeans. Yeah walking in. You got some security people that are certainly working the weekend that aren't supposed to have some power. You know Moolageta just standing there. That guy's worth billions of dollars. Yeah. Just kind of hanging out. He walks into the event on Tuesday night. We all immediately go Jerry's trying a little bit. He goes whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. I've done business with the Cowboys before this will go. Hey I'm just working for my clients. Whatever George wants to do we will do whatever there's obviously a conversation in he. This is him. Nine in the first round last night. Yeah. A one. Now it's not just Moolageta obviously athletes first has a massive company. Gumpy. They got a lot of people at athletes first don't they. A lot of them. We were invited potentially to one of their gatherings their parties and I thought it was gonna be like a dinner or some sort. Sure. So I don't think I knew what we were signing up for. We'll stop there before having to go somewhere else. We walk in there. A million people. In an area packed. Everybody having a good time. But I said there's no way. I'm going. It did. It looked like that's what it looked like last night because of how many people they have agents players you get it. But he had a massive night last night as did excel. Good for them. Used to be big in sports media now moving into the player reps. CAA down at three. Uh oh. Oh. Oh. Ty Simpson obviously gets a third in there. Win sports group with three clutch. Rich Paul getting into the game with two. Rosenau still throwing it. Vaynerz Sports House too. Is that all elite. At elite. A. E. A. one. G. S. E. Worldwide wide wide. Why. Investors potentially you. Good. Good for G. S. E. Worldwide. Yeah. Priority sports. The famil. I like. Sean Stalato. I like that. Young money. A. P. A. A. Sports. Still doing it. Nicole. Right. Nicole who reps Jalen. Yeah. I believe is big young money. Okay. Agent. I do believe. She's done so much damage obviously. No. Younger and associates. Just a lawyer. Yeah. This couple lawyers. Yeah. Get drafted in there. And then on time. Agent. Always. Not bad. Because it's about their time on time. Congrats to all the agencies obviously getting guys in there. And then the big 10 wins. Yeah. They did. Again. January 19th Indiana wins the national football championship. UCLA wins the women's basketball championship. Michigan wins the men's basketball championship. Five players picked in the first round W. M. B. A. Draft. Okay. And then 10 players selected in the first round of the NFL draft most of any conference. Big 10. The north is coming. And I don't think it's slow and done. No. And in fact the UCLA is part of the big 10. A lot of people are going to say okay. Sorry. It is just the way it is. That's exactly right. Big 10 is the most talent. Most championship. Most money. That feels like that's what KC. Yeah. Most grit. You can throw that in there and listen. Hey you know it's not my fault that UCLA and USC are in the big 10. You know that was an option. Other conferences could have went out and got them. I believe UCLA and USC who are you know kind of scions of the college football college athletic industry. They said you know what we want to go where we're going to be tested. We want to go to what is the best conference. And it really wasn't even a conversation. I don't think Greg Sanky ever even got the chance to kind of get on the line. They went right to the big 10. And you know that's kind of the way it should be unfortunate. I do wonder how Sanky feels about all because he's not just he's not going to sit back and just let this happen. No he's not. But can he do anything. Doesn't seem like I don't know if he can do anything. Sanky. What can he do. An SEC commissioner Greg Sanky can't do anything. Once he's going to find these schools himself. Might have to. It's got a big college baseball playoff coming up big softball world. Like they are right. No. He's not included on there also as Wisconsin won the women's national championship in hockey and they went to the finals. Unfortunately Denver won it for the men. So I'm just saying if saying he doesn't make a couple moves for talking about him basically being the commissioner of what the Mountain West Conference. Oh my God. What are you guys saying. I'm not saying that. But I'm just I'm also saying you know comment mentioned baseball. I hope he's not putting all his eggs in that basket because UCLA is the number one baseball team in the country. They're they're from the big 10 in West Virginia I believe is climbing the board every single day. That's got to get hard. They will. They will. It's on top score there. Yeah it was 19 one and a fourth baseball. That's against. I don't know. They are. Yeah. I had no baseball. A lot of each hit pit last night. Yeah. A lot of mountaineers out here. Check those bats. It was great to see. Yeah. Maybe they could have been. Let's talk about rounds two and three that are happening this evening for the draft. Who's the best available and Adam Schafter's tweet. Well he says Denzel Boston who some people thought maybe going to be a first rounder. Zion Young's name was mentioned a certain amount of time. Gerr Jamal McCoy. The man that's shown right there. Injuries potentially holding him back. Everybody thought he was a massive talent. Definitely first round talent has a recovery rehab situation where he ran well in his workouts but he didn't do drills well. So people are a little bit gun shy on wasting maybe a first rounder. But if he gets picked up and he gets healthy he's definitely a first round talent that slips to a team. Tonight there's some stars available. Yeah. So his 2024 tape was the best of any corner. If he was healthy he would have gone as the number one corner last night but he's not healthy. He ran a 4 3 8 at his pro day. But they said that the position drills didn't look great. 11 of those 13 guys up there were somewhere in in people's first round and box. So whether they go tonight or last night whatever they're still really good players. I have there's a there's a going to be a run on corners that DJ talked about last night like McCoy Tarrell Hood Stokes Keontae Scott DeAngelo Ponz those are all really good corners. Denzel Boston the wide receiver that we talked about Caden McDonald the tackle out of Ohio State was potentially a first round goal. The linebacker Jake Rodriguez the linebacker and then CJ Allen and Anthony Hill are also linebacked from Texas and Georgia who are really good. Those are the guys that like are kind of marquee for the second round. But I call Rodriguez cannot wait to watch what he becomes. Maybe he's cool. He might be. That's a position of need for them for sure. Who's picked number 57. Hi. What team is picked number 57. Do we know the cold. Is it. I thought you might be announcing the bears. It's the bears. OK. It's the bears which is the perfect pick for this because the way that kind speaks about hot dogs and what's a lot on it. And what's not a lot on it. Say hello to Mr. 57. Heinz ketchup is going to be supplying whoever is picked number 57 in honor of Heinz 57 right here in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. The greatest ketchup on earth. It is good on everything including hot dogs. Yeah. Don't be stupid. OK. Especially with the bears hosting Mr. 57 here tonight. Go ahead and celebrate that. Going to get a lifetime partnership. Wow. With Heinz. That's huge. And a custom Heinz jacket. Seriously. AJ you can reenlist for the draft pal. This is getting the zipper burn going for you. I think we have Mr. Irrelevant is the last picker gets a parade I do believe. Mr. 57 sounds like going forward. Maybe has the best prize of them all including the number one overall. I'm with you. I am a Heinz ketchup person that is absolutely the ketchup I choose. But I do wonder how much a lifetime supply is like when they say you have a lifetime supply of beer. What. That's much different for me to you. And also nobody actually is able to finish a full Heinz bottle because there's always stuff around. Yeah. That's right. You could do the squirts he wants. Heinz better than all the other ketchup by the way. You know with the squirt one that came in that came in the game. Somehow Heinz not only created the bottle and said hey we got the best ketchup they also eliminated the goop. Yeah. Yeah. Whenever you're doing the shitty red gold or the other catch up I would have to shake it. But with Heinz they say let us take care of that for you. You don't have to shake perfect ketchup in there. OK. So obviously that's good. I'm rolling through two or three bottles a month. A month. Wait what size bottle. The classic just human stuff. We're talking on everything but everything put on eggs. Definitely. That's a lot of ketchup. Two three bottles. Two three bottles. Mackenzie likes it. I was going to try to fifty seven. Mackenzie likes it as well. I would love to be drafted. I do like the jacket. Yeah it's unbelievable. I wore a jacket like that to the Rose Bowl a few times. What are you talking about. It's a lot of ketchup. What do you put ketchup on. No turn all white rice chicken. I don't need ketchup for like french fries. But like if hot dog boom catch up all day. I'm trying to do don't do catch. I can but I don't need it. Chicken Nuggets. Nuggets I want to dip and catch up. OK. You're at cheeseburger. Yes cheeseburger ketchup all day. Cheeseburger in paradise. Jimmy Buffett legend. Yes. I'm fifty seven and Frank. I hope you got paid for that. Who Jimmy Buffett. He got paid. He got ketchup. Yeah lifetime supply sailboat. So let's make sure we're celebrating Mr. Fifty Seven tonight. That'll be a huge one. Properly. Chicago having that is just. Yeah. It is a bit of a chef's guess except they're going to be the Indiana Bears probably so. Pro football talk and many others are reporting that Illinois is considered giving the Bears a property tax break to keep them from leaving for Indiana. Then there's also some other news breaking that. Yeah they're giving them a tax break conversation. Now this has been in the work for years. I would assume they were thinking about moving then they weren't moving. Then obviously Soldier Field is where it is. What's that going to become. Indiana got into the game. They're like hey you want to build a stadium just for 25 minutes away from where you are. We will certainly be able to provide everything. You don't have to pay anything. And we'll just actually later whenever it comes in there. So Indiana was able to drive Illinois to potentially making a deal as we have a donut. Yeah I didn't know if it was a dance circle or what's going on. Kids making wacky faces at the camera. Nice promo for tonight. That's good. Good energy here on the left side of the circle. Someone's got to do the worm through the 17 in that old Washington Jersey. He brought it. He's been doing like Irish jigs for a while now. After I mean that's going to be a good clip later. You know they're going to showcase. Yeah. My favorite is when they do that. OK. This happens in television production on a regular basis. They get a good one and their natural TV instincts are. You got to get another one. Don't ever do that. Those people just gave their all right. Yeah. They do not ask them to do that again. Sometimes it'll happen in game day. They'll be trying to get like a big mass of yell and it'll be like all right. And ruleman is forced to do this. Yeah. Who does not speak on a microphone. They put him up there and it's his job somehow to drum up the crowd. Hey. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For what are we just yeah. Just fucking yeah. And then all of a sudden they'll stop and then somebody being there. We weren't recording that one. And it's like can't can't do that because in this guy rule we love. Yeah. He's got to walk in front of his crowd go. All right. It's hard to get humans to do that. So I think they got good juice out of that one. Oh yeah. I think that's going to be a good piece. These people down here for the next 12 hours. Yeah. What are you guys doing. Hey. How you guys. See you guys. I'm going to be carrying coach out of here. Yeah. Coach digs started early. He's much thinner. I don't know if he's able to handle as much as he used to working out two days. He told me two days. Wow. I know you did. I told coach Kyle looked at me last night. I got pets. You know. Pat started this situation. We could have got one of them. They should have probably got that. Those are starting naturally. Hey. So you guys. That guy's got his fly down. Kenny what's open. They're going to be staying here all day. You guys I think should slide down to start the process. We have a Pittsburgh royalty about to join us this evening. We cannot wait for this show to continue strictly because tonight not only is it nothing but a good time but it's also nothing but a good draft all killer. No filler black and yellow Super Bowl draft. Hello ladies and gentlemen joining us now icon legend man is going to be performing tonight and shutting the entire draft down worldwide superstar ladies and gentlemen Mr. Wiz Khalifa Holy appreciate you dude so much. Hey. Hey what's up. Many people love you obviously. Wins. Pittsburgh. Bunch of tailors out there. Wiz obviously been there from the beginning and coming back for draft night. They said 320,000 people were here last night. First of all they know Yinsers could do that. They did. How do you feel about tonight. How do you feel about being asked at the biggest event. I feel crazy about it man. It feels really good. We were flying in and I looked down. I was like man looks like Coachella down there. Yinserella happening. Yinschella. You're performing with Brett Michaels right. Yeah. Yep. We saw you and him at I believe Jake Blazers house amongst many other legendary superstars. Have you and Brett worked together. How do you think this is going to go and how long are you guys playing for. Do you know it's going to work really well together. He's a professional and his band is great. Their timing is amazing. And it's just an honor to be able to share the stage with such a legend. He's going to do a set. We'll have a shared set. So it will be him, the me and then he's going to come back out and close it. He said it was the black and yellow. Nothing but a good time. Nothing but a good draft. All killer. No filler show. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds about right. That's what I heard. AJ has a pleasure for you. Yeah. I guess when you are performed with someone like that different era, different generations, like you guys do you have to work together. Do you have to practice before do you do sound check together. Like how's I don't know. Yeah. Sound check. How do you make it seamless. Our dressing rooms are real close together. So he gets to smell what I'm smoking. Same vibration. Okay. So how many songs will you be playing tonight. I got four songs. Okay. I can't wait to hear them. You're the best. All of them are bangers. You're making new songs right now live on stream. I love where you're at in this chapter of your career. Have you been enjoying this. I have been transparent. I have been. It's really, really fun. I've always been a community person. So to be able to be in touch with my community and the people who support me the most is super fun. Yeah. And you're just going to be leaking bangers on there. We're a big fan. You and MGK got so. Hey, we got a whole album actually that we're dropping in May. I leaked a couple of of the songs on my Twitch. But we're going on tour. The tickets are available. Hopefully you guys pull up and come see us. Definitely. Yeah. So we're going to be on tour and then we're dropping out of them as well. Cannot wait to hear it all. Massive fans of both of you and also MGK getting back into rapping. Yep. We're happy for him. He came on the show at the Hall of Fame and I'm like, Hey MGK, I watch you world star hip hop in a car freestyle. Okay. I've been a fan of you as a rapper since then. You're a beast. You're a monster. Eminem killed you. Eminem's going to do that. We don't need you just quitting a genre though. You're an incredible rapper. It feels like he's getting all the way back. The song you leaked guaranteed one guaranteed banger. Can't wait to watch you both tone as a question for you. Yeah, it was Pat and I obviously both from here. So we talked about earlier how cool it is to come back and like see the city on it like on a shine. Is it cool? Is it different when you get to come back here and perform versus performing at other places? Yeah, it's really different, man. When I'm gone, it's you can get it confused whether people are into it or not or whether they still love it or the support is there or not. But when you come home, the support is so crazy and it's so refreshing and it's so much fun to just see people who know all the different eras of my music and really have been there literally since day one. Yes. I mean, star power is still my favorite. See, that's what I'm saying. Star here. Star here. And you should say yeah, up there. You should. Yeah, I'm with it, bro. I heard say yeah, cheerleaders last night. Cheerleaders still doing it. So all the controversy right across the bridge. I didn't know that place existed. We drove by three o'clock. Cheeks out. Oh yeah. I think say yeah, was out there. A lot of star power. Yeah, Ty is a question for you. Yeah, Wiz, last time, I guess we saw you, we were here for big night out at PPG. You and Snoop and Pat and you know, it was incredible. Yep. A situation like that compared to being up here just kind of just like this. I mean, obviously you've played festivals before, but like this wide open park where who knows, there could be, you know, 400, 500,000 people here today. Like how much does that change the way you're going to perform or does it change it at all? I really just think about everybody. I think about the people who would be at home enjoying this, who are able to just come out and walk out and hear it, you know, just playing if they if they want to. So this is where the whole city of Pittsburgh. You're an incredible performer. Yeah, thank you. You sound exactly like yes Spotify. Thank you. I tried to watch you in rehearsal. Yeah. At big night out. It was it was fucking outrageous. Yeah. I mean, there was what 35 people in the arena or whatever. You did your full set was it sounded exactly like Spotify. You guys go backstage. Yep. I'm getting words from what's happening backstage or like, Hey, you're missing quite a party backstage. I'm like, I assume you're Ernest is back there. Jelly Roll is back there. Snoops back there. Wiz is back there. I assume I'm missing some shit. So I was excited to see where we were. You came out there sounded better than you sounded. You are a phenomenal performer. Thank you. How much work goes into that? Actually, a lot. I tour a lot. I'm always, you know, just trying to step my show up for my fans and just make sure that I'm in tip type shape. I work out all the time. And just being able to travel and just go different places. It gives me a different perspective of all the different types of people who enjoy my music. So along with, you know, the music being embedded in me, I have a really great time up there on stage. I really enjoyed myself. And you don't do a lot of singing. Yeah. You hit. Oh yeah. Yeah. All the words. You're going to hear everything. You're going to hear everything. Yeah. You don't mail it in at all. I think we were all so impressed because I was just assuming because especially in Pittsburgh, you could just say, huh? Yeah. Now everything would get hit. And that'd be a sick moment. Uh-huh. That'd be a great time for everybody. You hitting every single word, every single rehearsal, and then through the show, after what I heard that happened in between there. So much. There's somebody that has to speak into a microphone. I fucking was blind. Connor has a question for you. So to that point, how long does it take you to kind of come down after a tour? Like, I know you think, I think you finished in Australia last week and then you got North America starting next month. Uh-huh. That in between times, you need a couple weeks just to kind of get back to like baseline? Yeah. What is it kind of like? I'm usually just chilling with my kids. I have a two-year-old daughter and a 13-year-old son. So my son is into sports, making sure that he's, you know, staying committed and in school. And my daughter, you know, just playing with her, making sure we have a good time. I'm into plants. So I'm, you know, messing with watering, replanting, pining. Yeah. Your fondness? Outdoors or indoors? Indoor. Yeah. I got a green thumb now. Well, it's been green for years, but I'm putting it to use. And just working out, doing yoga and stuff like that. I have like a pretty normal, regular schedule when I'm at the house. I just keep it super chill, super light, because when I'm on the road, it is very demanding. And I don't have all of my stuff in my space that makes me comfortable. So when I'm at home, I really enjoy that stuff and pour all the way into my family, my hobbies and myself. I appreciate you always telling me you believe in me too and your captions. Yeah, you know, I got you, bro. And I love you. Yeah. Well, thank you. Every time I read the caption, I think about it. And then I see you just shredded. Yeah. You look good too, bro. Thank you. I'm on a lot of signs. So I see what you're doing. I'm not doing nearly. But you used to be just a little skinny guy. Uh-huh. You became an absolute dog. And I think you actually do do it so you can only get better at your profession. The amount of commitment you've had to who you are, what you are, let alone before you made it here in Pittsburgh doing shows around the fucking city and hustling everywhere. And who, who what's his name? Dan. Dan Fogger. Yeah. From the beginning. Yep. Same studio, right? You and Mack in there. Yeah, Edan. That's what you're talking about. Yeah, Edan. Yep. Me and Mack, we started out at ID Labs. And now it's crazy because Edan's son is producing for us. The kid who ID Labs was named after Isaac Dan is making beats and producing for us now. So it's all coming full circle. And we still keeping it in the family. Yeah, but think about how long that is in a profession that's trying to kick you out of it all the time. Yeah. Dang Power Brother from a guy from Pittsburgh. We're grateful to watch you do that. Thank you. I'm grateful to do it. You're gonna continue to go until the wheels fall off? What's happened? Absolutely, man. When the wheels fall off, we just gonna fly it or sail it or do whatever. Love music. Love music. I do. Love writing. Love the process. What is it? I love right. I love how music makes you feel. There's only a couple chords and couple notes, but the language is endless. And the more that we explore it and create the better it becomes for people after us. When you started streaming your process, were there people telling you you shouldn't do that? No, there wasn't anybody who told me that. I started out, you know, sharing a whole lot just with me behind the scenes. And my personality to my fans is what really brings them on board, as well as my talent and my hustle. So you get to see all three of those things through my streams. Yeah, your vlogs are outrageous. What is it? What's the name of your shit? Day to day. There it is. Yeah. Yeah. See, we have followed along watching you crush everything. Yep. So proud of you, man. You're going to feel the love tonight, I think, in a big way. I can't wait. You have bread fucking Michael. It's just going to be legendary. Thank you for stopping by. We can't wait to watch you tonight. Good luck with everything. Our tickets on sale for the tour already. Yeah, tickets on sale for the tour. New album every month. Follow me on Twitch, Twitter and Instagram and TikTok. All that shit. New album every month. Yep. Every month. Every month. Okay. All right. So at the end of the month, first of the month, when should we be expecting usually in the middle or the end of each month? Because I drop at the end of the month and you wait till the end of the next month. And then I drop at the end of the next. Okay. So we have like spring's vibe album coming in. Yeah. Then like a summer vibe. Like what is every vibe for every month. If you miss one, it's cool because you can get the next one and you can always go back and get the last one. You got to be the first person doing this. Maybe if not, then call me the first. The first ever every month album dropper. Follow him on Twitch. Obviously follow him on tour with MGK this summer. You're the man. Congrats on everything we can't wait to watch tonight. I can't wait to see you guys too. Yenchella. Yenchella. All right, bro. Thank you so much. Ladies and gentlemen, Waze Khalifa. Appreciate it, man. Thank you. I'm excited for, yeah, well, what up, dude? Thank you, bro. Thank you, bro. My dude. My dude. Yeah, gifts from the crew. Whole squad. See you, boys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you, bro. See you. See you. Will, bro. Just some local herbs. That was very nice of him. Very kind of him. They are a crew that I've realized, which I appreciate. So there was a couple punters and kickers that if you played against them, a way game, they would put together like beers for you for your trip back. Oh, yeah. I think you might be muted or AJ's mic is off right now, but they would put together like a package for you. Like, Hey, here's a couple beers. Maybe they find out that you like sure something else. Yeah, they'll do that for you. Shane Lechler, Sebastian Janikowski were the first group that I experienced and did that. And I thought it was so cool. I'm like, Oh my God. Genius. This is so cool that you did this. Thank you guys so much. And then I learned that, you know, Peyton, I think was doing that for other teams quarterbacks whenever they would come to our stadium without me even knowing, you know, like that's kind of happening behind the scenes. It's cool thing. Wiz's group, anytime we are around them, they bring a full care back bearing gifts. And it is. They are a great bunch. And Will, who has been with Wiz since forever, say, yeah, I believe he was at Penn State. He's from Plunk. So like he literally grew up up the hill from me and one hill over from tone is where Will, who's been with us. So we've been able to literally watch and experience and learn from his entire grind and rise. And he's always remained true to himself. He's never sold out. Yeah. Sick. Wiz has always done his own shit. He's a legend. And that's where with MGK, the summer is going to be. Did you see the outrage? Did you see what he just released? What's that? A song with the song with Fred Durst? Mr. Durst. It's really, it's sick. Yeah. It's sick. MGK is a dog. M&M killed him. He did. That's gonna happen. They literally made a movie about him killing people. Yeah. That is why he is what he is. Big movie. But MGK is so smart, so talented. He's like, fuck it. I'm not dealing with this anymore. And he just, right, I'm going to go do punk rock and becomes huge. And then he says, I'm going to go do this. And he's going to do this. Like I am a huge fan of Mr. Gunn Kelly. And literally just, hey, need you back in the rap. Okay. I got to work out still, bro. Yeah. I need some boxy's favorite white trash kid. Okay. Who made I need you. I need you to get in there and say some, that's just like GZ. I need GZ to be dropping shit every month. Waze dropping something every month. I am very grateful for that. We're going to be in the middle of the summer. Waze is going to be experiencing the same thing. He's going to hop into the booth, make the beat, and all of a sudden we're going to hear how we're supposed to feel right. Yeah, you're right. Waze, this is how I feel. And if he was in cheerleaders last night, he's also made songs to let you know how you're supposed to feel. And there I appreciate that. If you're looking for a place that is the best one to go to. There were some people giving some bad suggestions out of town. Don't go to the other ones. What I saw some internet, the internet where they were telling people like, Hey, if you're in town, go across this bridge, take a left. You'll find yourself in the perfect part of town. Get out of your cars there. You know, all that stuff. The insurers are trying to do that, but it has been nice to see the whole city come together. Really cool. Don't get a lot of moments like that. AJ, actually, would you ever get a moment where you got 320,000 people never in one spot? We're all celebrating two together. What's that? Maybe a Penguins parade, a Pirates parade, but maybe where we are years removed from that. Why did you not say Steelers? Yeah, I'm still a Steelers for involved in that too. I mean, you know, he said the Pirates before he said the Steelers. Well, I mean, I didn't say either of those just because right now they're not playing. You know, they're focused on who they're going to draft. They're going to try and win the Super Bowl today with their second and third round picks. But right now Penguins are still in it. They might win four straight. I'm going to be honest. I don't like how nice everybody is to us. Who like the Steelers? They just let us walk around our building. That was cool. Yeah. It was like a middle school. Hey, Jay, got to go see old Green Bay Packers friends because obviously Mike McCarthy brought in and then listening to Cower describe the new coaching staff and how he feels about them. That was a cool moment. Like yesterday was a historic moment, I think. It was amazing. Everything with Bill Cower is like one of those things where you're going to look back in a couple years. Like, did that really happen? Yeah. Bill Cower, that awesome. Like just giving him a hug down here at the bottom of the stairs before he left to go home. I'm like, man, I'm sad you're leaving. Yeah. Like, yeah, obviously we had such a great time with you. And the ultimate story teller. He designed the building that they're currently in now hasn't changed much since then. He said this is a partition right here because I wanted the partition because defense, we're on one side offense on the other side teams in the entire thing. But if the defense playing good, offense isn't playing good. They need to be able to hear me saying to the offense, Hey, you're letting the defense down over there. You need to pick it up because these guys said he even hit it a couple of times on the wall. These guys are busting their ass. You guys are letting the entire city down. You're letting me down here. Let's go over there. They would walk off and then a couple of weeks later, he go over the defense side and say, Hey, defense, your ass, the offense over there. They're doing everything great right now. He said, because whenever you tell a team what you said to the other side, they always have to kind of have truth for them to actually hear him dress down the other side of the ball. While complimenting them, he said he thought it was an easy way to kind of build a relationship with people and him talking about that. And then the window that he put into the office, why put it in there. It's like, it was, it was unbelievable getting to hang out with Bill Cower. It was unbelievable to be back here in Pittsburgh and celebrate the city in which we are from. It's been fantastic watching the Yinsers shine, watch the city shine. And tonight it will only continue to do so. And this weekend, the fact that it hasn't rained and the weather's been perfect is the football gods telling all of us that this is what we need to be doing with our lives. Have the greatest weekend of all time. We're back for an overreaction Monday with a lot of things happening. NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs, pens in seven. And the entire NFL draft boys in the truck. Great work. ESPN folks. Thank you for setting this up. Boys on the stage. You're great into the Yinsers. Goodbye. See you Monday. I think we got it all in. Oh yeah. Crushed it. Nailed it. They made them do it again. Yeah. Yeah, we just saw them down there. Guy with a terrible towel. You can't do it. That should, that should be. Can't manufacture that juice again. Hey, Syracuse. Hey, Northwestern. Yep. Okay. Whoever does all the fucking TV. I think that gives me the schools that produce the people that everybody in television. Yeah, these people that have basically said, this is what it is. Okay. Can we get a little feel in there somewhere? Can we get a, can we get a feel chapter? Maybe just one test on it. Just say, Hey, we're dealing with humans. Maybe we should think about the humans that we are potentially. You can do that first semester of freshman year. Feel 101. Self awareness. There you go. They should just call it awareness 101. Yeah. Whenever has that worked? It hasn't. The second time. Yeah, it hasn't ever. In the history. I've been in one. I've been asked. I think the reason why we think like this is because we've actually been like the fans. Don had to do that. We've actually been in the, in the entire thing. And all of us at the time are thinking, Oh, we nailed that. And then you go, Hey, need one more time. It's like, I'm not an actor. So you want me to do. And I need to act like what I, it's going to look like they better use the first. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They will. Did you see the second one? Yeah. It was a Colts fan actually in the middle. Is the second one. 40% juice. The guys walking around selling booze. I love that. Yeah. Oh yeah. I'm going to die now completely. Yeah. And now let's say again. That was actually better. That was better. That's different. That's a little different. You're going to elevate it. So uncomfortable there. Yeah. I could go and do a third. Yeah. Try a third time. Kind of case. No, they know I hate it. Yeah. That's why the fourth one's going to be even louder. Delta. You know, that's the thing. You kind of get them comfortable. They think they're done. And then all of a sudden you say, listen up booze bags. The one that got here at noon on a Friday at 100 degrees. Just so you can get some cocktails in early. Find your spot for the draft. There's no way he's going to ask us to yell again. That's what they're thinking right now. Oh yeah. They're thinking team on me, team on three comments. Yeah. But instead I'm going to do it. Hey, I'll let you make some noise out of it. I'm pretty. Yeah. They're bringing it. Thank you. Kind of debunked everything I thought right there. Maybe you should circle them up. Give a little bit more practice. Hey, we got to get out of here. I don't know how this is sounded with the way we've been going through the, the, the testing, the obvious, playing the music. Yeah. Whoever's on the ox. Yeah. Great vibe. Yeah. Absolutely. Last night, the whole second half of the draft was great music the whole time. Yeah. Just a song selection. You have to multi-generational. Yes. You have to pick one. That's a feel. That's like an awareness thing too. You got a feel for the crowd. Yeah. And you got to experience what the crowd's going to be experienced before you put the next song. You got to know. Okay. I got to shift gears. Caroline went a little long. Audible. Well, that's because Pitt, you know, that's our entire thing. So it was nice little audible to that. But I think it was a very, very solid show. Yes. I thought it was DJ. Gradable. I assumed it was brief. DJ Griff crushed it at the science. He really did. I was walking the thing going up to the planetarium a couple of times and I could hear, he was killing it. I did appreciate. There was a few in there that were invited that had the eyeglass, sunglass, camera things. Sure. Oh, there was a video? Yeah. Last night? We're at the event. Yeah. They got good, they captured good footage. I was actually kind of appreciative of the videos that were put out there. But we all see it now, right? Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of, it's become a, in your face Augusta needs to ban them, they said. Yeah. I don't think you're getting in there with Augusta with them. They did this year. Somebody got in there with them. Oh yeah. They said there were people were showing footage from it. So there, that was like the next step where young people said, Hey, Augusta, the old stoogers working the door, taking phones, you're going to have to look at their eyewear now. I'm going to be honest when I say this, like, we all see it's, it's almost like they're going to have to make a new one. Yes, it's very evident. Yeah. They're going to have to make a new one. Smaller. Came quick and left. Yeah. Good idea though. Great idea. Great idea. Great idea. Making how easy it is, how high quality it is. A little POV sitch. Yeah. I think it's pretty good. Pretty good. And they got me, the one guy got a side shot of me in the video, David Allen. And I look like I was in great shape. So there you go. That's a victory. Hey, send that video to me. Please don't walk in the coach savings face with those things. Okay. He's here to have a good time. This also passes bedtime. He was up late. Did you see him yesterday? Unbelievable. So he gave a Caleb Downs story about Caleb Downs mom's white chili that he had when he was in recruiting. He said, the best white chili I've ever had. Said I wanted to go back for recruiting. I think you I bet you he is phenomenal during the draft. Yes, I mean, we need to figure out how to do it. Especially it's all going to be quick. Yeah, I mean, that certainly that does that changes how everything we kind of rolled with the punches pretty good last night, but you could you could see how we didn't get to the bunker as much. No, right. They didn't get to the bunker as much wasn't able to get as much of it like there was not as much as projection not as you know, the trades weren't being announced. They were just internet breaks. And then the thing was happening. But it was like, it was very expedited. I felt like everything was kind of expedited last night. We are going to have to adjust. Yeah, definitely. We personally are going to have to adjust because at lunch you we were talking to coach Cowher and you were saying like, hey, back half of the draft, it's going to get super slow. Like that's when we're going to be we're going to be coming to you and we need stories, you know, just kind of like that. That is when we need you to kind of unload the clip. And we never really got to that point because like you said with, you know, commission like 23 to 32 flu, we're supposed to FaceTime numerous people. But then we did the Dan Morgan FaceTime. It was like, it feels like this isn't the right time to FaceTime and Dan Morgan because how many things are happening. So it was like, it really for us, I couldn't even imagine what we didn't miss any things. Oh yeah. TV people. We didn't miss any. We talked about every pick, which people enjoy like actually enjoy like the people watch these draft things because they want to hear you talk about their pick. So if you don't, like if you miss their pick, they get very, very upset. Yeah. We and we try to show as much respect to everybody in there because obviously it's the biggest day of their lives. We're happy for them. The NFL needs these guys to be successful. A lot of them are going to be asked. Okay. That needs to be remembered. Yep. A lot of these guys are going to be asked. A lot of these, there's a chance. You know what? Actually, everyone in draft last night can be hall of fame. They're going to be hall of fame. I need to be a little bit more optimistic. There's 320,000 people in Pittsburgh to watch these guys go into the NFL. They're all going to be Hall of Famers in there. But we do have to like kind of remember like because of how big it's getting and because of how excited everybody gets. I think the expectations do get higher on all the draft picks and it's like, oh, we got to remember that the guys are on some of these teams are like 10 years ago, these guys, but 10 times better. This is every age groups, all star teams still doing it. And if it was tough to crack, it is a tough roster, tough league to crack. But maybe last night, 32 Hall of Famers were drafted. Well, and that's why some guys get drafted in the fourth round and turn out to be the best player at their position in the entire draft class. Like for the New England Patriots, at least last year we drafted, well, Campbell fourth overall in the entire draft. And then our best old lineman was drafted in the fourth round from Georgia. Like that's kind of what makes the draft so much fun. Like you have no idea which pick it's going to be. The first round gets all of the, hey, this guy better be a stud immediately. But in, you know, realistically, like the rounds two to five, there's going to be a guy in there that is going to take over the NFL. They should be like, well, talking about the Iowa tight ends like none of the, I won't say none because some of them, but most of the Iowa tight ends you're thinking of right now, when you think Iowa tight ends weren't picked in the first round, they were third, fourth round picks, you know, like that's kind of where your money's made. And that's why the first round, if you get drafted there, aside from that great contract, the expectations that come do, do kind of set you up for failure. Ty Simpson. There you go. And with him, we're not even going to know. We're not going to know for, you know, unless Matt Stafford breaks his back. If we don't know for four years, then we know it was a bad pick. Yeah, true. Exactly. Right. That's kind of the, but then you think Sam Darnold, it could, Sam Darnold had six years and now all of a sudden you're thinking, well, Sam Darnold's a great pick. The Jets just screwed it up. Well, then you think Jordan Love, and it's like, how long he said for three years? It's worked. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Had a good transition process into the next quarterback. Got paid. Had a little drama there. I'd say a little bit of drama there. Didn't get back to the MC championship, right? Did you? No. Kind of just went down and success for team wise. Yeah. But if you look at, I agree. And that is again, like that will be something Packers fans, regardless of what happens with Jordan Love over the next 10 years, like that'll always be one that kind of is a crawl on your side. It's like, man, they were so close and they really could have, but stop the run. Yeah. They would have got anybody that could have stopped the run. They might win a Super Bowl. Exactly. They gave up 180 yards before contact. And then they trade into the first round to get a quarterback. And it's just like, and your quarterback just, that you had won the MVP that year. Yeah. And then won it again. I mean, that's why it's crazy. And it's like Matthew Stafford just won the MVP. Yes. Same thing. It's the same thing, but, but 13 13 and, but Green Bay traded in traded in. But so think about the players that like Kenyans, Deake was the number one tight end. He was there. Like even some of the while, like Makaile Lemon, if he was out, he was locked in every one, every single one to them and all of them. So like now there are specific players like the Packers were at 26. So it was like, okay, yes, they traded into it. But even the players in the back half of the first round, those are almost second round picks. Like the conversation this year was, Hey, there's 15, 16 first rounders in 13. Like is right there. Like, can you imagine if Kenyans, Sadik goes out and has, I don't know, 10 touchdowns for the Jets and then all these Rams fans are going to be thinking like, well, at least we got a back, you know, backup quarterback, possibly third string quarterback instead of the number one tight end in the entire draft. You know, Sean McVeigh had his reaction that he had. Sean McVeigh is a great coach. So obviously, especially to the quarterback position, we assume him and Ty will get along well. He immediately puts the fire out quickly and says he'll be competing with Stetson, you know, because Sean McVeigh has to back Stetson as well, who he's a coach for. And then it comes out, you know, Ty never spoke to Sean McVeigh at your head coach and offense coordinators quarterback position. Weird, weird. And then, you know, Albert Brear is like, ah, fun fact. Rams general manager, Les need and UT Martin coach Jason Simpson have a very strong relationship to the point where Snead helped advise the family when Jason son, Ty was making a decision on whether or not to deploy her for the draft. Now, Ty Simpson, number 13, overall picked the run. Best needs is you put him in a draft. No wonder. I'm so confident he knew he could go come in the first round. He could show up in Pittsburgh. You knew he's got my dad's best friends going to fucking pick me. Who cares? Who's the coach of that team? I never met him. Never talked to him. Does that matter? Wait, what do you say on the phone? He said on the phone call with Sean McVeigh. Sean was very nice on the phone call. Yeah, he was. By the way, once again, because he's a player. Ty was great on the call. He's a coach. Ty said something about like, can't wait to do make some magic reduce some history. Yeah, whatever. Yeah, something like that. And Sean, I know Sean immediately what Sean wanted to say was, okay. Yeah. But instead, Sean said, all right, I can't wait. Can we play this here? Do we have audio on this? Hey, how's it going? Hey, it's left speed. Los Angeles Rams. How you doing? I'm good, man. We're sitting here at the 13th pick. So we're going to draft you with that pick. So I'm going to pass you to your new head coach, Sean McVeigh. Yes, sir. Ty. What's up, coach? How you doing, buddy? I'm great. How are you? Good, man. Well, congratulations, man. Excited to get to work with you. It's going to be a lot of fun, buddy. Go make history, coach. Yeah. No, and enjoy this night, man. Have fun. Tell your family we're excited to meet them. Can't wait to get going with you, buddy. Yes, sir. Coach, appreciation. Okay. All right. So everybody has to still shot of the way you looked and way he said, that's embedded everything. I heard that phone call and as soon as I heard that, yeah, that was that was awesome because I know Sean McVeigh is going to want to coach the shit out of this guy. Yeah, like Sean McVeigh is going to want him to be great. Sean McVeigh, coach, who's also going to be judged on the amount of Super Bowls that he wins, thinks to himself, man. Great right now to go win a Super Bowl, but I guess we wait until Matthew's done, even though I just won an MVP and he's in the immortal chamber and he's feeling better than he's ever felt. Coach is an interesting spot there, AJ. Very interesting spot. What's the best case scenario? Matthew Stafford plays two more years. They get one more ring and then Ty Simpson comes in and takes the helmet. That'd be best case. That's like I do. I mean, two would be, yeah, I mean, if in a perfect world, but yeah, I don't know as a head coach, it is a tough spot because Stafford's this guy, I mean, there's been this Cabo trip to stuff with Stafford and all them and John Simpson is doing cannonballs into the hot tub. Yeah. Oh yeah. Now, I think Drew Brees did the cannonball. He did. Right. You're right. He did. Andrew Whitworth was in a hot car. He made him a gainer. I'll enter the pool, I guess. Not a gainer guy. Now, Whitworth did a shooting star. Yeah, that's a professional wrestler. Not a gainer. He's not a diver. Gainer's not a dive. Gainer, you jump forward, foot backwards. That's a shooting star press. Andrew Whitworth is the way to go into a pool. Not into a square circle. It's right. Diving would go into water. Andrew Whitworth could do it though. He's won with both sides. Yeah. He squats 9,000 pounds. Yeah. We know. Maybe Whit, what is Whit, let's call Whit. Sure. See what he thinks. I would like to know what Whit thinks. We could get a feel. He's kind of a bangle now though, isn't he? I don't know. He's sincey. He has a lot of ties to him. He loves McBae. He could tell us if McBae is being real or not. Hey, Cincinnati hates Andrew Whitworth because he wouldn't want a super ball somewhere else after you guys kicked him out of town. I never kicked him out of town. I got to play with Whit one year in Cincinnati and it is a shame how it ended there. It really is. But I think, yeah. That's why they're so mad though. Because Whit goes sincey to Rams and then Rams beats sincey. Kind of like a movie script. Yeah. If sincey wasn't in the Super Bowl Versa, I don't know if there's as much animosity. You can't be mad at Whit though. So then I think Whit won the Walter Peyton Man of the Year as well. Oh yeah. Oh, so Cincinnati said, yeah, we don't want to pay the best guy in the entire NFL and then all of a sudden we're going to get mad at him whenever he goes to a team that does and then he wins. That's all we hate. Good guys who serve our community. Wake up Cincinnati. You can't be doing that over there. Centerville people saying bad things about Whit. I don't think any, I don't think fans are mad at him. I think it was Whit in the front office had a situation going on. I think fans were all right. So what do you think he put that entire tweet out because the Brown family tweeted him and said he wasn't available? You know what? I don't think we should call Whit. I don't really know how he feels about any of this. Now that we're really diving into it. He didn't answer the first couple. But Whit was like, when I was, I forget we called Whit the governor, whatever it was, Whit ran the show there. Like he was like the assistant head coach pretty much. I think he was like that in LA too, which I think is why he's... That's just kind of how he is. He's the man. Holding court in the restaurant there in Cincinnati. Oh yeah. Great new restaurant. Yeah. Yeah. Thousand times spinner. Team restaurant. Oh yeah. In the same way Neil Armstrong. What year did Neil Armstrong die? That had been early in Whit's career. He's still alive. All right. He's from Wapakoneta, Ohio. Give me an answer. Show of stinks. Get out of here. It's unbelievable. He's the only guy that should be giving us an opinion. That's right. I mean, we thought of it, I guess two hours, 15. So it's when you stand up. 15 wouldn't get that, go we? Yeah, because it's going up. So it's got to go down this way probably. Figured it out. Figured out. Raj, I said that to him a few times. They've been in a cowherd relationship, huh? Hilarious. Just now that we know Bill Cowherd pretty good. We know where he lives and they both probably... Oh yeah, because he's in the area. They got dinner very regularly. That was hilarious. The only thing you're ducking is the jacket. Cowherd was like, I can't believe it. I'm like, you got me. It feels like you and your league have done pretty good. Cowherd's got ideas. Yeah, he does. And he lets him know that he's passionate about it. And I don't think he's ever not been passionate about something that he said. I agree. No. Every single conversation leads to some motivational speech at the tail end of it. And that's why I insert something. It speaks to Dylan. Oh yeah, on a spot. Oh my gosh. Yeah. I knew that was... Because interesting dynamic. I have the ability to talk to the boys in areas. Okay. So the boys all have a... There's a channel right here that says boys where I hit to the boys. Yeah. So they hear me. Okay. This is happening. At the beginning of show, person sitting here could hear that. Yeah, DJ. DJ heard whatever you said. Yes. Exactly. He said, don't do that. He can stop. Yeah. So then I was told, yes, he did. He said, stop. And I was talking about something completely different. I'm like, damn, I don't need damn you'll Jeremiah here. What I'm saying right now, because I would like to be able to do what we're doing there. Then I was told that they didn't hear it. I never trusted. Oh, can't. That's 100% on me. Too risky. Yeah. It is very, very risky. But Coach Cowher, another one, he could hear that. And we told him going in, it's like, hey, coach, there's gonna be a chance I'm gonna drop into your ear. Okay. That's me just talking about what we need, where we need to get to. Somebody needs to fucking do this. Okay. This is what we need to do. Don't answer me. Your microphone is still on. Yeah. Okay. Do not answer me. This is a one way street at our studio in Thunderdome can come back here. One way road here, pal. You just don't say anything. I get it. I get it. Yeah. He's like a Pittsburgh dad when it comes to everything. And then there was other comments, 20 years in the biz. He understands this. Because thank you. That's the entire thing. First time last night. First time I go, ba-da-ba-ba-ba. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Right in the mic. It's like, Hey, Bill. Oh, is this the, yes. This is what we talked about. Right now it is happening. He was outstanding. So good. Just hanging out with him too. He's great up here, but just even shooting the shit. How about him walking up here that first time? So cool. There's a, I have, uh, there's a video somebody has. It might have been the end of my video. The sun is shining the way it's shining. He has both of his arms up like this. And there's just a bunch of yinzers clapped for him. Like, I felt like it was out of a movie. Yeah. That was out of a yinzer. It was. It was. This place was incredible. Alpino hand was getting hammered down. I didn't know you could just buy that at a pawn shop, by the way. What? The jalapeno hand costume. That wasn't her? What is that? That looked like a, uh, old Kenny, the kangaroo mascot. Yeah, throwback. That was bought online. Yeah, she was having a tough time out there. Yeah, it was a little sloppy. I don't think that's how jalapeno hand. I thought they might, the road. What the hell is jalapeno hand? All the Varanians competition. Fuck you. The pierogi race. I thought the pierogies were just out here enjoying the draft. There she is. I played in the big 33 game. I learned about pierogies. Yeah. That was not who was here last night. No, I didn't see her. She was here. Yeah. No, right there. She was right there. I got a bus dime version of how being a hammy. Maybe Hannah was having a tough day. I told you, it's just been hammered. Long night. All right, John. Uh, what's the big story of tonight? That's a good question. I think it's going to be the run on corners for sure. Maybe Carson Beck Carson Beck. A lot of people were talking about him potentially going early in round two. Cardinals a team to watch there. So where the quarterback goes always a conversation. So Carson Beck starting quarterback of the years. Cardinals, there's a chance. Good to see that pick 34. That's that's there's it's out there. Carson Beck football life is going to be a great movie. Oh, it is. Hopefully. I mean, three years ago, he's the number one pick. Not actually, but Jacobi coming in. It's a Jacobi. He's all not man. Minshew are both there. He's all not. Oh, they are. They have Minshew, I guess. What'd you say? Jacobi. Jacobi. He's not going to. Hey, I'm going to play and be the starting quarterback all year for your shitty team and you guys are going to pay me dirt. Okay. That ain't happening. Give me a fucking starting quarterback salary. 40 mil and they were like, all right, we went two and 14 with you. Yeah. See you later. I like Jacobi. Preset stand on business. Sounds like Jacobi potentially wants to be in another building too. Maybe like, Hey, I don't know how many more years we got here. He's been at 12, 13. How long is Jacobi percent? I think the Patriots drafted him in 2014 or 2015. So yeah, that's a hell of a career. Yeah. And he was going to win MVP with Colts. Yeah. Pam Hayward in this city. How do you walk back? Oh, quit Nelson right now. It's a lot actually into his knee. Yeah. Oh, until he got hurt. Yeah. That happens a lot with Colts. Jacobi is legit. I would, I would take Jacobi as my starter. Absolutely. Yeah. If you want the number four pick. Oh, I got some help around. I love Jacobi. He helped raise Drake May. It was the third. Oh, sorry. Excuse me. Great work, Connor. How do you experience the pitch? Good to be here. That roller coaster video is one of the greatest things I've personally ever seen. We got a lot of respect now. I do. I learned my lesson. That thing fought back. I had no idea Kenny would still had that. Turns out Kenny would might be better than ever. Yes, truly. Fresh coat of paint. Gino ain't just putting paint on there. No, no, no, no. It's fresh cut of wool. Old patterns of Kenny would call pristine candy kaleidoscope. Connor got knocked out, woke back up, finished the ride. Pittsburgh football. What ride is this again? It's still Curtin. Nine whoopty woos. Most in North America. Highest whoopty woo in North America. Still Curtin. The fact that you don't have the shoulder straps for all the whoopty woos is crazy. That's got to, you got to feel a bit vulnerable. Debut almost won out there too, I think. There was a bit of a wobble there. Yeah, there was. Hey, hey, hey, come on, man. Get your elbow and not see but I actually was born. How much you counted? It's one, two. Oh, shit. I'm back. What have you gone through the video to see what number whoopty were that was? I haven't seen the full start to finish one, honestly. But I do think it was probably around like three because really three to seven. You're yeah, three to seven, three to eight, but really that's not, you know, just three. It's actually 11 because we did it back to back times. Okay. So it's not act like it was just one run. Yeah. I think the first one kind of mess with my equilibrium. The record is 40 straight. That is fucking the seat. Yeah. That guy said that. I don't know if I believe that I was thinking about it about going 41 times. I didn't want you guys to have to sit there and wait. Dude, no, we would had all do it. Yeah. I mean, just drop like flies. I'm telling you, I never felt more free meeting the maintenance dudes behind the roller coaster. Just put me a complete ease. I looked at these fuckers. I was like, they won't let me die. They will not let me die. And once you get past that, I'm not going to die. It's much better. Yeah. I'm going to die thought that can be real, especially when you're and there's no, there is nothing. No, the track just goes and there is nothing. Sitting in a football 228 feet up into the air. Hey, what is that? That's 22 stores. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. You're just going up steel mill off to the distance. You're just getting higher. You fat ass is covering up the whole seat. You literally can't see anything underneath. No, you feel like Alex Honnell. You feel like you're actually basically the same thing. But if you, if you don't think you're going to die, what I've learned just from my experience ever doing, I'm not hopping on scary roller coasters at this stage of life often. No, sure. Just being able to flip the switch. You're not going to die strictly because Gino and the boys have certainly taken care of this. Tony and Apollo Tano leads a great group on her. Ricky Spacuzzi is not going to let anything happen to us. It was a lot better out of the first time. Now, two, three drama means. Yeah, had to, had to need to have two, three drama means at this stage of life before you go to Kennywood. That is no questions asked. You get on trampoline at this stage of life. Get a fucking drama. You go do that. I also potentially had vitamins. Was that good altitude? Sure. I was having a time of my life out there. It was comfortable on my thighs. So fun. It was more comfortable than the kangaroo. Yeah. Yeah. So I was having a blast. The guys at Tony and Apollo Tano said our record is 40. And I was two in there. And I was like, I feel really fucking good right now. I started doing the math. I'm like, how long is this? So when will we be able to get out of here if I was able to do that? Look for that at one of these Kennywood techniques for me to lock in and see how many times we can kind of get done. But you just got to believe that Gino and the boys aren't going to have you dead. And then for Conor, I don't know how you stay awake out there. I generally don't know how you do. Maybe another drama means maybe smelling salts. Who knows? But maybe you tape a smelling salt. Oh, there you go. To the stash. Maybe maybe put some bio freeze on my chin or something like that. That might help. Maybe in your eyes. Yeah. Maybe right. Pull the eyes. Yeah. Pack some coffee beans, perhaps like a can of tobacco. Put that Carson Palmer shit on top of stuff. Yeah. Yeah. That's what you did, right? I did not do that. You got some in your eyeballs at a super bowl a couple years all time. That was all time moment. I still have a jar. I think about a seat at my house sometimes. How I used all my yeah. You really lathered yourself up. I kept a little bit. I support Carson Palmer business. I use mine. I still use mine. Now you said you still have it. That's five years. Five years ago. That was five years ago. I still have it. I go on the website and I order it. I am talking about I support the business. What's the name of it? You got it. I do. I know I don't because I've been through my breaking it down. Oh yeah. I know it is. What is it? I don't want to give it out. Carson's he's doing a replay. Why would you not want to give it out? Cadewood CBD. Not supporting the business. Some fan you are. You really love the product. Don't you? I do. Carson Palmer's going through a rebrand. Hey, thank you all have fun. It's makes noise. Enjoy yourselves. You guys have done a great high rate. Lennie Ray the mains over there. Did you see two frats out there? No, where? Right next to my dad. Right behind coach. Where's coach? Where's coach? Tardio's out here. Yeah. Frat Tardio. Point to me where coach is right behind you with the way that I'm playing. Oh yeah. I see a coach. All right. There was no fights last night. There will be today if that guy's here. There will be no celebration of football here. Oh goodbye. I'm a little bit worried, but just with the small group that I just saw. But it looks like everybody's here to have a good time. Yins or cello baby. Happening tonight is more dreams come true. Rounds two and three tonight should fly by is a great showcase of what the NFL is, which is a celebration of football. The NHL and NBA playoffs are happening. Baseball is still taking place. Yeah. Big time. How are the parts still good? Pirates doing good. Boston Red Sox just got shot by the Yankees last night. So that's great. Tough times up there. Oh tough times really. I got two teams that are looking to win their respective championships. Please just go off a Super Bowl. Get off my fucking back. Not worried about the MLB right now. Okay. Trying to win a fucking Stanley Cup. Head coach, Supreme Commander, not available, but in reach day three of draft feels like a pretty big deal. Feels like a pretty big distraction. One, two. Is that the new go? Great work, boys. You guys got some really good lighting. Looks like you guys are maybe over there in controversy. Yeah. Nothing. All good back here. Yep. I didn't understand what you meant by that at all. They weren't in the van with us. Looks like you guys kind of in there right now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Got you. Quality establishment. Did you go gums? No, I did not. Would love to though. Now you want to go where wisdom is going. I'll tell you what. The way they're having people drive through there. Controversies right there. Might be the best spot. I mean, it doesn't matter what time of day you're going by. You're seeing people out there with butt cheeks hanging out smoking cigarettes in the parking lot. So either one of those things is something you're interested in. You're going to find it. Then the casino says hello. Yeah, exactly. Money. I'm in a casino. Right now is the only time the casino hasn't been staring at me for five days. Oh, God. Everywhere we go, the casino's just poking through some trees. Come give me all your money. Yeah. We went over there a couple of times. Wasn't as packed as I thought it was going to be earlier in a week. We all lost. Shocker. Great work. Bore code. Audio Caleb stole football from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Wow, really? Got an autograph yesterday. That's cool. I'm going to take that one home. That was good play by him. Yeah, it was smart. Quite a good hustle. Also, audio pretty good, right? Yeah, it hasn't been bad. Not bad. Yeah, the audio hasn't been too shabby. Has it? It hasn't been. What's this guy? Oh, about. All right, let's get the hell out of here. We'll see you on Monday. Enjoy the hell out of your weekend. I'm going to do something that I got signed up for. It's going to be very expensive, but it should be fun. There you go. Oh, man. I think it should be a lot of fun. Yeah. Do you want to pitch in? I don't think I can now. Come on, Cheapskate. I think you still got time. I think you still got time to do it. Don't be a dick, dude. Why don't you pitch in? Just people change your name. They said they're running the 40 yard dash. Just 50 grand hawk. Just do it. Don't be an asshole. 50 Gs for the people. They want it. Come on. Yeah. Coach started that. So you're in for 50. That's nice to do that for the city. For the city. Pittsburgh is beautiful. Telling great work this week. Congrats to you. Congrats to you. Congrats, Tosh. Ty, you missed it again. Yeah. Foss, so great work, buddy. You were Foss. Big fist. Some people call him. That made Foss. We know him by his birthday. Mike Foss, guy's an absolute weapon. He's had a deal with so many different things this week. All the time. All the time throughout the entire day. He likes to wake up and be an asshole like 4 a.m. too. So anytime you see him when the sun's down, just know that we're really, okay, we're really cutting into a schedule. Sleep session. It's a mess of a bad day. Great. They're great with the draft. I think game day and ESPN, the coverage has been magnifying. Yep. The event, which I think is good news. And let's get that out of here. Thank you, Pittsburgh, man. Thank you, Pittsburgh. Thank you, Pittsburgh. Be a friend, tell your friends I'm nice. It might change your life. We're in this thing together. Let's have the greatest weekend of all time. Why not? AJ, your final message here to the people is you're going to be such a good, outstanding human going forward when you speak about the great city of Pittsburgh. I am. You know what? Honestly, I feel like I do understand Pittsburgh a little bit more. After spending some time here with Coach Coward, I love it and I respect it. Always have. Some of the toughest people on the planet are from this very place. That's right. The toughest. Yeah. Also, is that what you said? Some of the toughest people on the planet. There's a handful, handful spot. We'll see you guys on Monday. Team on me. Thank you all. We should get this actually, huh? We should do this. Hold on. I'll do this one. There you go. All right.
