Everybody's looking at me weird because today reads all nervous. Kevin looks tight because we've got to figure out this is Super Bowl week. Yeah, it's a lot of tension in the room. I haven't thought about it at all. And so we will play a game today. And if Reed wins, he gets the final ticket. If Kevin wins, there's one more game to go. So we'll do that coming up.

What are the games? Do we know? Yeah, I do. We don't. Are you the only one that knows? Or does Mike know, Eddie know? I don't know anything. No. I know. I know.

So we'll come back. We'll do that. And we have the owner of the chiefs coming up too, which is really cool. Clark Hunt, yes. Big time. Let me do a couple late breaking news things. Number one, Miles Garrett just requested a trade from the Browns. And so I'll read you this. As a kid dreaming of the NFL, all I focused on was the ultimate goal of winning the Super Bowl.

That goal fuels me today more than ever. My love for the community of Northeast Ohio and the incredible fan base of the Browns has made this one of the toughest decisions. And then it goes on. He says with that in mind, I've requested to be traded from the Cleveland Browns. Signed Miles Garrett. I don't blame him. So he wants to go to the Cowboys. He wants to go and he wants a shot at winning

because I think even he sees that even two, three years from now it will be difficult for what they have there. And a lot of that is based in the Deshawn Watson. We have no money and no quarterback situation. Yeah. And I think it probably sucks for him. And I think that's why he also puts out a statement

is to be as transparent as possible. Most people, when they request a trade, they don't do it so publicly. He's doing that because he probably feels like he owes it to Cleveland to go, guys, I've loved it here, but I want to win. Yeah. And also, let's not forget,

and it gets into the Luca stuff too in a second. These are businesses. Like, these owners are no more loyal to you than you are to them, then our bosses are to us, then we are to them. These are businesses, these are companies. everybody, every single person in this room is disposable.

As soon as you're not producing more than you're making, you're done. And also, from the player or talent perspective, if you're feeling like you're not getting enough for what you're doing, you can either wait for your contract to end or you can ask out. Now, our job's a little different. I can't only be traded. That'd be weird, though. I know.

That'd be kind of cool. It would be weird. It's like we got a bad read contract We got to dump the bad contract So he has He has requested a go I thought that was interesting It just popped across the line

So it'll probably be an hour or too old By the time this And you can't be mad as a Browns fan Right? You can be like, hey You cannot Yeah He's always been good to them

You can be disappointed But I think you know the situation You know the boiling pot that you're in Yeah I mean, I ain't good Yeah So you're probably hoping Like hey

Hopefully he goes to a winner Winning team As long as not the Ravens Or the Steelers or something maybe I think you're root for them I also think that as a Browns fan you go A, that sucks. Like defensive player of the year, domination.

He's leaving, I get it. But also what's exciting is you're going to get a lot for it. You're going to get a lot of picks. You're going to get a shot to rebuild, which isn't going to happen in the next year or probably two. But also with Deshawn's Achilles injury again, he's probably never going to play football again. Also, he ruined it.

and again he was the first to get it he also could have made it a thing but the guaranteed contracts he ruined it that that will not be a thing now if he would have succeeded in Cleveland I think you would have seen a lot of quarterbacks getting it and being like Deshawn Watson got it but he killed he killed any

chance of that happening yep so okay that's number one and number two and again we are as of now right now mostly a football podcast but when I saw the Luca a AD trade come across, I like everybody else thought that like Shams was hacked.

Right. I thought I really did. Or at first I thought it was one of those parody accounts on Twitter. And then I saw the checkmark, but then anybody can buy a check mark. But then it's a gold checkmark if you're like a business, a media platform. I was like, wow. Yeah, what's your checklist? Like, do you just go Google and see if any other outlet is covered?

I immediately went to ESPN because I knew on their website there would be no sort of hacking. Yeah. And so that's a crazy trade. Insane. So there, again, I've watched and I've heard a million people talk about it. My, even understanding from people I know that are three degrees from the organization, not of L.A., but of the Mavericks.

There are things I think that we don't even know about how bad it had gotten between Luca and the Mavericks. And they also were going to have to pay him $380 million for a Supermax deal. they didn't want to do that because they didn't feel like his body was going and I think too you're seeing with Joelle and Bede exactly what happens

when you pay somebody like that and they're hurt all the time because they can't keep their body in shape and I think they didn't want to get involved in one of those I have friends that are diehard Mavericks fans that have just been gutted by it yeah gutted

especially when you have no idea correct and the fact they were able to keep that quiet for two weeks. Props. And that Jason Kidd didn't even know. He's the coach of the Mavericks. It's wild.

Nothing is secret. But for real, he didn't know? Like, for real? He said he didn't. I watched him at the press conference. Again, he could be a great actor. I mean, Luca definitely didn't know, right? Nobody knew.

It doesn't seem like it. Yeah, nobody knew. And I imagine, too, he has this season and next season, and then it's sign an extension or get the most you can get for him. And if you're already not feeling it, you got to get the most you can get. And they knew it was not going to be a popular trade. But that's a crazy trade I've ever seen. It may be one of the craziest ever in the history of the NBA.

Yeah, I'm trying to think and not be like hyperbole here, but probably the craziest of my lifetime in the NBA especially. Yeah, I mean, the compensation too is not even that much. I mean, like Rudy Gobert was like, what, four first round picks? This was only one first round pick. Well, but AD, though, is better than any pick. I mean, he's, perennally the first or second defensive player of the year behind Gobert or Wemby now too.

But, and offensively, if he can stay healthy, and he has stayed pretty healthy. but again the fact they didn't open it up and say hey we're offering Luca who will give us what all the conspiracy theorists are out and let it be a bidding war from there

and the Lakers I mean it's the Lakers and then the Mavericks play in the West and they're going to see them possibly win for the next 10 years I was thinking though like if you were just to walk down and we won't spend a whole much time

talking about basketball and Super Bowl week but this was a crazy crazy trade I was thinking like if I went number one down as far as the best players in the NBA and who, because you want to get a great play. You just don't want to get a bunch of picks because picks a lot of times don't pan out.

So you definitely need something extremely substantive from this trade. So, okay, who's not going to get traded? Yokic is not going to traded. So he's probably number one. You can go, Janice is not getting traded from the bucks. I'd say SGA. Oklahoma City not leaving.

Yeah. Then you can go, Anthony Edwards does not leave. They're not going to get it from. Also, that one just, that one wouldn't make sense anyway. Tatum. Tatum, not leaving from Boston. So you get to like the eighth or ninth guy, and he's like the best one of it.

You want something substantive. I think that and they got a 29 first. Crazy trade. Saturday was crazy in general. Yeah. I woke up at three in the morning and saw it and I was like, what? Yeah, that's the thing. I fell asleep and I woke up to it.

Yeah, crazy. I didn't believe it. I was just like that man somebody hacked or it's a parody account then when I saw it on the ESPN I was like dang I can't go to hear what Bill Simmons says about this I know I listen to the emergency I listen to the whole thing yesterday you go to certain people for certain things yep yeah and that was it so that Saturday in general and I just kind of walk you through my Saturday night so the Luca thing the Luca A.D Trey was crazy

Coach Cowell goes into Rupp and obviously I'm a big Razorback fan we have not had a good season. A couple of those reasons are one, when Cal came to the team, there were no players on the team at all. So we had to kind of start from scratch. He didn't even sign 10 guys. He signed 9 scholarship players. There's been a bunch of injuries. Also, they haven't gelled. We've spent a bunch of money on the players. It has not been really the year that we had hoped for. It's been very disappointing. We were 1 and 6 in conference play. Like 14 to 8 overall, but they basically played us for three games. They played the whistles basketball team. So

It's five of us, so yeah Let's go Arkansas goes to Rupp Which is Lexington To play Cal's old team And they booed him hard And I did not know how he would Be received

Because he did one Win them a national championship Many Final Fours Definitely had the program At an elite level And regardless of what they say They ran him out Had it not been so toxic

and he did come up short and the last couple tournament appearances no doubt about it but it was so toxic for him even though they officially didn't fire him they ran him out he would not have been open

to coming to Arkansas had it not been a completely toxic situation in Kentucky so he wins him a championship makes the program keeps it respectable beyond respectable and they run them out

and then they boo him it wasn't like he just left I would love for him to say you know what he decided if Kentucky wasn't for him he's coming to the where the grass ass is greener Arkansas.

Not really the case. So he comes, they booed the crap out of them. Now, I bet on the game. We were, it was Arkansas plus nine and a half when it started. So I was like, you know, I think we'll probably hang in there. Maybe we can keep it close. And I put like $250 on it. Dude, it was not a game.

Like we jumped up. We were up like 13, 14, 17. It got to be within five or six in the second half. Their fans were what were leaving. It was awesome. I don't troll much. I don't troll much. But I constantly

catch strays from Kentucky basketball fans for no reason. They just tag me in things constantly. I have not said one thing about Kentucky basketball. I like Mark Pope, their coach. I think it's awesome. Former player goes, has success, has success at BYU, comes back, bring some of his guys with them.

He's like the guy. He was on Petino's team. I love that story. But they keep coming at me. I didn't steal cow Cow wanted to leave and so I was ready once it got to be like eight or nine minutes left and we were up by double digits

Locked and loaded Well I started loading the tweets A couple drafts written up I did I did And I had a couple that I put too much thought in I was like you know what? Not gonna post that Finally

As soon as the buzzer hit I simply hit him with two words LOL, Kentucky That's all I put, send Dude It was like somebody dropped a nuclear ball

And so People coming at me People telling me how we suck now So then someone goes LOL yourself 2 and 6 So I quote retweet that And say, which is why it's even more embarrassing Yeah, there you go

That was awesome we may never win a conference game after this. It's okay. And I wish we did and it sucks because my favorite things are Arkansas football, Arkansas basketball. It's been very disappointing. But that was a fun one. I don't think it would have been as fun had they not booed the crap out of him at the beginning of the game. I was like, well, this is kind of ridiculous.

Like you guys ran them off. And now you're booing that he came back. Yeah. So that was a fun one. So my Saturday night was, that game and then I watch five hours

of the Roll Rumble and I'll do I'll do a whole breakdown after the I watched it came on at 5 p.m. And it wasn't over until after 10

Wow and I have three screen upstairs where it's I have a middle screen for PlayStation and then I have two screens

different Rokos that I can watch like YouTube TV in a channel or then I watch Peacock and watch Roll Rumble so I had everything on

and so watch the Royal Rumble on Peacock. It was free. It's unbelievable. I didn't have to buy a pay-per-view. So, yeah, that was my Saturday night. And a full Royal Rumble, even for non- Wrestling fans, I think you're going to like it. I have a full breakdown coming up. But the shocking thing was John Sina did not win.

And it was his first, and it was his last Royal Rumble ever, 30 people come out, one at a time. You don't know who's coming out. Next person walks down. Sometimes there are surprises. Sometimes it's old wrestlers. You haven't seen in a while. Sometimes it's new.

and John Cena comes out at like, I'm going to say like 26 or something. Not sure that's the number. He comes in and he's like, last one, he says it. He's got to, the crowd's going crazy, one of the biggest pops of the night.

They knew he was going to be in it. And he gets down to the final two and it's obviously he's going to win because they're setting him up for WrestleMania to be in the main event because the winner wrestles for the championship at WrestleMania. Okay.

And he's wrestling a guy that if you're not a hardcore fan, you don't really know. He'd been great as a tag team champion, but baby face guy. but not really well, super known by casuals. And John Cena has him out on the apron. And John Cena, I ended up crying.

I'm going to be honest with that. But I want to tell you why, though. John Cena ends up losing. Nobody expected it. Because once it was Sina, you're like, oh, this is for sure it, and he loses. But John Sina is known for being like a guy about the business. And he totally allowed, it was all,

guys wrestling scripted. Yeah, we know. Just making sure you know. But he totally. put him over and then he walks in and like hugs him and like lifts his all i mean he was like anointing like okay you're now a guy yeah it was super cool becauseina easily has the prominence to go no i'm not coming back unless i win and he got right to the end and then uh he lost so it was emotional in a good way oh yeah like i was emotional that sina was cool enough to do that yeah

to come back to put someone over and i was like just like human that's awesome because he definitely did not have to do that and he could have said, I'm not coming back unless I'm winning. So it was pretty cool. But I got a lot to say about it. We'll get to it coming up. Royal Rumble.

Dude, it's awesome. I saw some old clips this week because it was leading up to it when I was a kid watching it, like Rafiki, Rishiki. Rikishi. From Too cool, right? Yeah, and brought back some nostalgia for sure.

The Royal Rumble was awesome. Yes, back in the day it was awesome. And they've kept the same format except now it's so much of a build. They don't tell you what order they're coming out. Way, way back in the day, they would kind of say who was coming out on what order.

It was like a bit leading up to it or like segments for a while. Like, oh, I got, I'm coming out fifth. But now at times, just like surprise people come out. So I think you'll like me talking about it even if you're not a wrestling fan. So all that to say.

We do want to take a little break because we're going to come back and we're going to talk with Clark Hunt, the owner, of the Kansas City Chiefs. He's the CEO. He's the head executive. And just thought it was super cool. He wanted to be on the show. Yeah. So cool. Yeah. I didn't reach out to them, which is even cooler. They kind of reached out to me. And then I got a really nice message afterward. From Mr. Hunt? No. But from... I was like, you know Jerry and Mr. Hunt? No. I'm kidding, dude. It says,

from Clark Hunt's office. This guy's, I won't say his whole name, but his name's Chris. He works for Mr. Hunt. he said this quote Bobby's awesome Thanks for reaching out He really might be the single best at this Absolutely love his show and his energy Been a listener for a long time Very cool to get to work with you guys

So that's somebody for so somebody knew us And recommended him to come on the show And so he did That's awesome So we'll talk to him coming up in just a second Because it is Super Bowl week I would recommend that you get ready Hey by the way guys

Get your draft kings in before we go Yeah I was wearing that Good call good call Because we don't know where we're going to be Well, we do know what they're going to be. Well, where we can play. Oh, good point. So we're going through Georgia.

publicists, we have an incredible new episode this week for you guys. We have our girl Hillary Duff in here and we can't wait for you to hear this episode. They put on Lizzie McGuire 2am video on demand. This guy's boo-a-m. To whatever time it is,

Lizzie McGuire. And I'm like a wild batch you were with. It was like a first closet moment from me where I was like, I don't feel like she's hot like the rest of them. No, no, no. I was like, she's beautiful. But I'm appreciating her in a different way

than these boys are. I'm not like, but listen. to Lascaultz raised us on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or whatever you get your podcast. Now it is time for Kansas City Chiefs owner, chairman, CEO, Clark Hunt, otherwise known to us, because we are respectful as Mr. Hunt. Clark is the son of Lamar Hunt, who was a foundational piece in building the NFL to what it is today, and he's even credited for coming up with the name Super Bowl.

Clark has taken their family legacy to another level when he hired Andy Reed, which we talk about, that interview lasts over nine hours. Big thanks to Mr. Hunt for joining us on the show and we are ready for New Orleans. Here he is. Chief's owner, Clark Hunt. First of all, Mr. Hunt, I would like to say that I cannot wait for you to be in the Hall of Fame. I want to say what I've seen from your organization, I'm ready. Whenever you're on television in that jacket, I'll be like, that's my guy right there.

So congratulations on just massive success over the past decade. Yeah, well, I sure appreciate it. It's absolutely been a very special time to be a Kansas City Chiefs fan. And really from the day that Andy Reid walked into the building in 2013, we've been building for this moment. We've had an incredible amount of success over the last six years, and hopefully we'll be able to carry that forward. The legend of the Andy Reid interview is nine hours.

Is that accurate? That is accurate. And it's hard to believe in retrospect. I'm not sure what we talked about for nine hours. but it was a great opportunity to really get to know each other. And I think we just realized that we had tremendous chemistry and that the relationship was going to be a good fit. I also had a lot of my staff there who got to spend time with Andy,

which I think was good for them and as well as good for Andy. And there was just a lot of comfort all the way around. And we were able to get him to Kansas City later that week, and he's been there ever since. How important was culture versus X's and O's when making that decision? Well, we'd been through a very challenging couple of seasons leading up to that hiring in 2013. And I felt that we needed a very experienced leader, somebody who had experience in championship games, which Andy certainly did. Interestingly, our 2012 team had, I believe, six pro.

players on it. And that was a team that won only two games. So it wasn't like we didn't have some talent on the roster. And I think what Andy did when he arrived in Kansas City was he really changed the culture. He changed the expectations. He changed the relationship between the coaching staff and the players. And he was able to immediately get off on a great start. The team won nine straight games at the beginning of that 2013 season. And I just think it shows, you know, what a great coach he is, both from a culture standpoint, as well as from the necks as a nose. What is the feeling from you going into this Super Bowl as opposed to the last two?

Well, they're all different, but they're all very special. It's just so dang hard to get to a Super Bowl. That's certainly something that we understand in Kansas City. as we went 50 years between Super Bowl 4 and Super Bowl 54 when we finally made it back. To be in a period where we've gone two years and now we're getting to go, three years, is really hard to get your head around. They're all huge challenges. There's a lot that goes into the week, but we're very excited. We have a great opportunity, and that's really all you can ask for.

It's what we work for the entire year, starting in the spring, working through training camp, winning the division, getting the number one seed. Those are all just building blocks towards being able to go to the Super Bowl and we're thrilled to be back. If I was the owner, I'd want to do, like, player stuff. Do you ever go work out with the players, like cut off a shirt and hop in? So during training camp, when I, you know, spend more time around the team, I will occasionally end up in the gym with the players. And I have to say it's very humbling or maybe even humiliating. That's awesome.

I feel like I'm going to be doing that all the time. When do you leave to go to the game and set up? And do you do an Airbnb or a hotel or what do you do? We'll be in a hotel in New Orleans. It's a very long week. I'll actually go in at the beginning of the week and be part of the media that takes place. Monday night and then do some more media on Tuesday.

And then I'll typically go home for a couple of days and then come back on Thursday and spend the rest of the week there through hopefully what is a victory celebration late Sunday night. Do you get nervous before games and do you get really nervous before the Super Bowl? So over time, I've become less nervous and maybe it's just through experience. my nerves are very calm before games. However, when the ball is kicked off and you get into the inevitable ebbs and flows that you have in any football game, my emotions will ride the roller coaster of the game. So it's a little bit of a mixed bag, but I've learned over the years to have a lot of trust

and Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, and the rest of his teammates. More great folklore, I'd like to run by you, the folklore of the Mr. Clark graduating first in his class at SMU. True or false? It's hard to believe, but it's true. I have several children who are at SMU have recently graduated from SMU. And it's a great university,

and I had an amazing experience there. I'm not sure how I pulled that off. After the game, do you have two plans? Plan A, win? Contingency plan, plan B. You have to really have only one plan. And of course, our hope and our thought process will be geared towards winning the game. We have a big celebration after the game, and that celebration takes place regardless of how the game plays out.

Man, it would be a little tougher to go, though, the other way around. Not that you have any experience with that because you've been killing it. But it would be tough because I've lost things and had to go to things, and I'm out the door pretty quick. And do you let your clothes out? Do you already know what you're going to wear the game night? because you've got to look they're going to be looking at you you're like the most famous owner one of them yeah i'm not quite there much to my wife's chagrin you've been talking to me about you know getting my game clothes ready that that's something i'll probably focus on late

wednesday night as i'm packing to head to the game do you have like a little bit of like do you need to wear like little bits of red if you're going to wear a suit like i know you have your chief's pin on now but there's got to be something it's like if you're president you got to have a flag on at all times like you got to be chiefing it up right Yeah, absolutely. Pretty much every Christmas, my wife gives me a new red blazer. So I have about 100 of those in the closet. So I'll pick out a few of those to where to the game.

And then for the Super Bowls, the last three Super Bowls that we've won, Mark Donovan, our president, Brett Feach, our general manager, coach when he's not on the sideline, and I have all worn the same blazer. and it's a throwback blazer that goes back to Super Bowl 4. And it's interesting in that the Chief's logo on it is backwards, which I would love to ask my dad, you know, why was the Chief's logo backwards back in 1969, but it was. And so we'll probably wear those blazers again.

Patrick Mahomes as a person, what's he like? What's your relationship like with him as people? Yeah, he's just an awesome human being. As good a football player as he is, he's an even better person. Of course, everyone knows about his leadership ability in the locker room, but he's a guy that really cares about the people around him. And I think that's part of the reason why his teammates love playing with him, is that they know that he cares about them both on and off the field.

He's a terrific guy, you know, lots of fun, loves to play golf. he's a tremendous family man. I just had that third baby and it's so much fun to get to see him be a dad. I want to make a comparison, and you're definitely way more successful, way smarter and better looking than me. But when I started to have a bit of success and I was like touring, I'd have all this people come up, be like, I'm your cousin, let me get tickets. When you got started to crush it, did you have more friends all of a sudden that

wanted to be like, you know, on the field? Oh, Clark, it's me, your buddy from high school. You know, that's one of the blessings that comes with having a little bit of success. And I have a great group of friends, and I love having them around for these championship opportunities. That's something when I look back on this time period that I'm going to remember getting to celebrate it with my family and friends. So that's totally a positive that I've got some guys that have reached out that I haven't seen in a little while. You had people on 23 and me. Like, I had like 1% match.

They were like, I'm your cousin. Let me get in. See, I'd be afraid with the chiefs. It'd be a lot worse than that, Mr. Hunt. I'm always super curious about successful people and driven people, like what they read. Like, I would imagine you're a studious person. Like, what are your favorite books? Yeah.

So I don't have a lot of time to read books. I spend a lot of time reading literature that's related to the sports business. and just sort of staying up on what's going on, both in the National Football League, and you probably know that we're also involved in Major League soccer. So it's really more focused on newspapers and magazines that you, of course, access online today that really help me stay up to speed on what's going on.

What about listening to people that have opinions that have no idea what they're talking about? Do you ever come across that, like on social media or anybody like, this guy thinks he knows everything, but he doesn't? Certainly. Social media has, you know, changed how we consume news. And it's opened up the ability to have a lot of other people that are commenting on sports.

And so you've got a lot more perspectives out there. Not everybody's going to agree, and that's okay. When you were growing up, who was your favorite player? It was Lynn Dawson. You know, I grew up during that era where the Chiefs went to Super Bowl 1 and lost and then made it back in Super Bowl 4 and beat the Minnesota Vikings. I got to spend some time around the team as a kid with my dad. And, you know, Lynn was definitely a hero for me. I was also a big fan of Jan Stenrood because I was a soccer player.

And Jan, of course, was one of the first soccer-style place kickers in the National Football League. And so I love getting to hang out with him as well. We have three more questions for you, Mr. Hunt. And you're sitting in front of a wall of accolades, a team accolades, for sure, a lot of balls. Which ball behind you brings up the quickest, greatest memory? Well, I'm not going to stand up and, you know, pick one of the balls, but one of them back there has the signatures of our Super Bowl team from 2019. And that was obviously special because it was our first trip back to the big game in 50 years.

And being able to get across the finish line there and win that game, that was so special. How cool that Kansas City is a small market as far as other NFL teams. And you guys have been so dominant. There's got to be pride in being the little man and taking it to it, right? Yeah, I think that's one of the great things about the National Football League is the way the system is set up. Every year, all 32 teams have a chance to make it to the Super Bowl. There's a lot of parity, a lot of equality. And certainly, we've benefited from that in Kansas City.

It's been fun to see our fan base grow over the last six to ten years. And a lot of metrics were either number one or two in terms of the largest fan base, both in the U.S. as well as internationally. So it's been special to see that. I know it's something that my dad would have really enjoyed if he was here to see it. And my final question for you, Mr. Hunt, I'm not asking anything of you particularly, but I got invited.

I think they think I'm finally cool enough to go to the commissioner's dinner, that event that's happening on, I think, Friday night. So I finally get the invite to go. And if I come up and say, hey, Mr. Hunt, it's Bobby. We just act like you know me. So people think I'm cool. I just want to, like, have you be like, oh, he must be cool if Mr. Hunt knows him.

Can we like exchange like a cool, hey, what's up, buddy? Yeah, absolutely. How about a little high five? Let's go, yes. You point out and be like, this is my guy. He knew all along. If we do that, man, the world is my oyster then. Congratulations, Mr. Hunt.

Thank you for spending, you know, the last 15 minutes with us. I have been rooting for you guys since the beginning. I'm a diehard as far as the chiefs go. I'm so pumped for this game. And yeah, I hope that there is no contingency because let's win three in a row is what I say thank you Mr. Hunt. Yeah, thank you. It's great being on with you.

There he is. Mr. Clark Hunt. Chiefs. That's awesome. See, yeah, all right. Okay, great news. We can use draft kings in Louisiana. Awesome news.

Yes, on our trip, we go through Atlanta. Tuesday night, we're doing a show in Atlanta. By the way, we're all going on a bus. So Atlanta, Georgia, we can't. It's like a tour to the Super Bowl. Bless me, baby. Yeah. It's like, I promised our boss, we would do market visits, so we got a bus.

and we just kind of did them at the same time. It is cool, though. Like the whole week, I'm saying. Like, it's like, and then the payoff is the Super Bowl. Oh, yeah, it's pretty cool. I will say, yes, if you haven't, I'm a little jaded and tired from being on a bus for a long time. So if you haven't done, like, the touring, it's super cool.

It's like, no. For me, I'm just like, oh, my God. It's going to be good. The Super Bowl part's going to be fun. The first couple nights, I would rather kind of just fly down there and do the show and come back home. but it's going to be fun. Yeah, we're excited.

And Louisiana, Draft Kings, you're able to go. So that's pretty cool. A couple things. We still have to play the game for the Super Bowl ticket. Don't worry, guys. He didn't forget. Here we go. Yep.

So I do want to talk about Justin Tucker. Justin Tucker. I mean, now we know why he was missing field goals. Probably because he knew that was coming out, right? Yeah. Yes. Yeah. because they're like, you know, he doesn't miss

and all of a sudden he's missing more than he normally does. Justin Tucker's been accused by multiple massage therapists of sexual misconduct is from the Baltimore Banner. The Baltimore Banner reports that nine therapists at five different spas have claimed to be victims of inappropriate sexual behavior at the hands of the kicker. Reports allege Tucker exposed his genitals, quote, brush two of the therapist with his penis, and left what they believe to be ejaculate on the table after three of his treatments.

Oh, boy. Whoa. Five of the women reportedly accused Tucker of asking them to, quote, massage his, region, it goes on here. The report also says that some of the therapists were so overtaken by his alleged actions. They ended his sessions early or refused to work with him again. Since these alleged incidents occur between 12 and 16, 2012, 2012, 2016, the statute of limitations has expired. No criminal charges can be filed. There is, however, the option of civil action. I don't think even that has happened yet. That ain't a good look, though. No, not at all. Do you, see, since 2016, when did the Deshawn Watson stuff come out.

Because you, and also, what, what's, dudes, what's happening? Yeah. Like, you, is it just the, you've been a successful? And again, all is alleged. Everything's alleged. I don't know, wasn't there. Thank God. Is it that you've just been so successful and celebrated and everything you do that you can

ask for anything? So you, it just continues into this space. Just power tripping. But it doesn't sound like he was asking for anything. It just sounds like he was being creepy. there. He brushed his Yeah, like

he's just like, oh, the accident thing, that's, yeah. Like, how do you just accidentally do that?

I don't think it was accidental. No, that's what I'm saying. But I think you're asking regardless, when was the Deshawn Watson thing?

21. So my first thought, my first thought would have been he heard about Deshawn Watson. I was like, oh, I got to quit. But no,

it's five years. But we don't even know if it's real. And we also don't know if it's happened after 2016. Like all of a sudden he quit in 2016. Yeah,

because, yeah. That was a while ago. I mean, Justin Tucker's been around for a while, but this was before he was really Justin Tucker? You know what I mean? So, like, you're saying he's on this high horse, but I don't know. But I mean, if you're even a collegiate, celebrated a collegian.

There is just an athlete. I'm not saying all athletes do this. And I'm not even saying about this specifically. And it doesn't have to be athlete. You can be an actor. Anything when you're young and you're celebrated the whole time, there's a different moral line that's drawn because you haven't been taught it. And that's not an excuse at all,

because I would bet you 99% of athletes don't do this disgusting act. If it was done, alleged. Sure. Man, that is a bad look. And these poor massage therapists that, like, again, don't know what happened. But the fact that they have to do that for a job

and then deal with that kind of stuff, like, that's not good. It sucks. Yeah, I was a big Justin Tucker guy because he was, like, a fan. He was from Texas. Yeah, he listened to the show. He would, like, sing.

Yeah, the opera thing, right? The opera angle. Yeah. Bro. Not good. Not good. Chip Kelly Just won a national championship

With Ohio State Offensive coordinator And is now jumping to Seattle So he's gonna go be the OC With Seahawks With Pete Carroll I don't think he'd be mad at it Oh sorry

Yes To Vegas with Pete Carroll Who was with the I think of Pete Carroll Seahawk all the time Not anymore Yeah good point Yeah

Yeah And the Seahawks We're thinking about Ryan Grub is leaving The Seahawks Offensive Court Well He's out there

And he's going back down to Alabama I'm going to be with his boy. They were together at Washington, Kalyn DeBoer. I was going to say that. No, you aren't. You can't remember.

I was going to say that because I know his name. You can't ever remember his name. Oh, Kalin. There was this thing on TikTok and it annoys me that Arkansas has always thought of like this. I hate, so I'm going to, I put a ribbon on this one.

And what they do is they had AI figure out like which actor was each coach. like if AI were able to make an actor a coach. Oh, that's cool. Who do you think they made Sam Pittman? Oh, my gosh.

Jeff Bridges. I mean, it's not going to be anyone like. I wish. That would be cool. I wish. Yeah, no, it's not. Like Chris Farley? Yes.

Chris Farley. Oh, my God. Really? AI's crazy, dude. It sucks because everything about us just gets made fun of. That's messed up. We were Chris Farley. They had some good ones.

They had some really good actors. One of the coaches. Like Kailin DeBoer was like... Matt Damon? No, he was like a in shape, Adam Sandler, but playing a serious role. And we get... Chris Farley. But Chris Farley was funny, though, dude.

I don't want funny. I want to win football games. But they're actors. They're just actors. I want to win football games. Like, would you feel better if he was Adam Sandler? Yes. No, Adam Sandler does great and serious roles.

Oh, that's how you're taking. it. Yes. It just, it's... Yeah, Farley never did a serious role. No, he probably would have

eventually. He got bored of all the funny stuff. But that's all. I hate always being the joke. Okay. Do you want to do

the game? Yes. Yes, we've been waiting for this. So here's what's up. Do we take another break first, Mike? Yeah, let's do that. Okay, break.

And after that, we'll see if we can give away the final Super Bowl ticket. So this is, no little bitty teeny tiny bowl. This is the Super Bowl. Get in on the action at Draft King Sportsbook, an official sports betting partner of Super Bowl 59.

And you're like, why don't you give everybody one?

Well, we had four tickets for five people. And I said from the very, very beginning, this was the case. And it had to do something that was fair for everyone. Then we played Operation with the two remaining people, Reed and Kevin. And Operation was going to be one of three. So this is the second game. It's Bopit. Oh, my God.

Oh, my goodness. Oh, my God. So Bobit is a game. So I guess I just pick some. I score 32. Bones, the look on Kevin's face is hilarious. Twist it. That twitching?

Pull it. I pause it. Oh, it's hard. Dude, my brain is going to just crumble. So, Kevin, you need to win Bop it. Yep. You need to Bop it to start. You need to bop your little heart out, man.

If you win Bopit, it'll be sudden death. Oh, yeah. We'll play another game, but for now, Reed, if you win Bop it, you win the final ticket. Oh, my goodness. Freaking Bop it, dude. Go, baby. Reed, you can bop it, Reed?

I don't even remember the last time I did. And I've not told you what it is. I've hidden the game so no one can see it anywhere, so there's no practicing it. Kevin's freaking out, Bunch. He's freaking out. I'm looking at that one. Do we get like one quick trial?

Yes, I will give you a little, like, a little, like, which one's like a different. Like I just did. So. Bob, there's a poll. There's the, there's the, Twist it. We just got pull on one side, twists in the other.

So you pull this to do it. I score 32. So just so you see, that's this button. Okay. Oh, I already died. That's this button. This is twisted. This is pull it.

Okay. So. Three commands. Kevin, I'll let you choose who goes first or second because you're the one that's kind of immediate. Something the chopping block here? Yep. I'm going to sleep. Okay.

All right. I'm gonna go first. Wow. Are we doing it in front of each other? Yeah, you're right there. Yeah. No, I'm saying like he's Reed gonna be in the room. Yeah, we're in the room.

Okay. Can you do it there? No. You want on the stage? Yeah, we'll go to stage. Let's pop it, man. Yeah. Okay.

Good. You're up. We're now going to play Bopett. Kevin has taken his practice round. Woo. How do you feel? I felt better before the practice round. What happened under the practice round?

It's fast, man. I don't remember being this fast. So we have a microphone standing on stage. You have to hold it up, hold it up in front of you. Well, no, hold it up so you can play. Oh, okay. But you have to hold it up near the mic so we can hear it. No, we're not getting taped by Bop it.

Are you ready? I'm ready. Okay, so I think you pull it to start. Mm-hmm. So go and pull it. And then when you hit Bopit, we're rolling. Here we go. There we go.

35. Wow. That's solid. Wow. That's solid. That's nice. 35. I don't need to see my hand, and I was shaking a bit.

No, we saw you were shaking. Shaking like he's in a snowstorm in just his underwear. Wow. Hey, good job, Kevin. Thank you, thank you. Okay, Reed's going to take a practice round here, so Reed do what you got to do. Pull it first to get it started. Reed's loose as a goose because he's like, he can lose this one.

Okay. Now you're changing the level. Oh, really? There you guys. Practice run? Yeah, practice. Jesus Christ. That was it.

Oh, my goodness. That was his whole practice round. We should leave that in because that was. like one second long. Okay. Hold on. We got a twist here. We got pull here.

Yep. This is going to be bad. And keep it near the microphone if you can't. Everybody be quiet when it's over. And whenever you're ready. We found Reed's greatest game ever. Oh my goodness. It might be a world record.

Wow. Were you playing us, Reed? Are you just a champ and boppet? I mean, I'm like, I'm actually shaking right now. So like once I got through a couple. You got a rhythm. I felt comfortable. The voice sped up.

That's how much he did. Wow. Wow. Okay. It was like a victory lap around Kevin. I know. Then he starts like dancing at the end of it. I can't even be mad at that. You can be mad.

Thanks, Eddie. So let's have a couple. Let's go to the losing coaches locker room first. Everyone loves this interview. Wait for the question. Kevin. It's not even that you played bad. It looks like you showed up ready to play.

Your nerves look to have gotten the best of you. You are shaken from the very beginning. You know, what do you say to yourself now? I say now I know what Josh Allen feels like. I show up and I play my butt off and I played well. I'm actually proud of my performance today, more proud than I was last week. And it still wasn't enough. Reed still Patrick Mahoney.

Got in his rhythm. And, you know, dang, 70-something, dude. Good for you. That sucks. This is worse than losing the Super Bowl. Watching your team lose a season. Super Bowl, because you actually have control over this. Yeah, it was on you. Yeah, I can't blame the coach. I can't blame anybody by myself. I'm sorry to my family. My fiancee and everybody for

letting you down. Poor one out for Kev. Dang. What sucks is, it always feels weird that somebody has to lose, but when they actually do lose, it sucks. It sucks. Like someone was going to have to lose, and it turns out it's Kevin. Like, we're hurting for you, dude. That sucks. It does. suck. But now completely deserves it, dominated. God was looking out for me, man. I'm known to panic and my brain is known to shut off.

And so, you know, he kept me through that. So God was not looking out for Kevin. So the Lord took over. God was not looking out for Kevin. Interesting. That's what I hear. It's like, God wanted you to win over Kevin. God wants all of us to go Super Bowl, man. Then why are we all not?

Why do we not have an extra ticket? Yeah. That's fair. So, I mean, there was a point there where he almost dropped it, bones? Did you see that? Multiple times. And for some reason it went back into his hands. He did drop it and then it were like floated back to his hand. Did you see the wings pop out of the bop it and go?

Oh my God. Angels in the outfield. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, man. At least I still get to go in New Orleans. We still get to do the radio row and everything. You know, I'm a blessed man. What?

I don't know how much. No, I don't know. I don't know if you, I don't know how much single ticket would even go for. You can look outside the stadium. Maybe they'll be... Didn't you try that at the... No, the bowl game once? Yeah, the Rose Bowl, yeah. And my team's

not even playing in and, no, yeah. I'm not spending $3,000. Three? It may not be that, though, right before the game. You're already going to be there. I don't think there's any anything hurt with walking around that you're already going to be. If you were traveling down there to walk around, I'd be nervous about it. What game was it where they dressed as construction workers?

Texas football. Yeah, see, and they got in? Oh, yeah, boy. Don't try that. No, you'll get, like, terrorist stuff. Oh yeah, maybe not. Maybe not safe. Cheapest ticket on Stubhubb right now is $3,500 for a single ticket. Maybe like third quarter you find one out there. Yeah, right.

Dang. Maybe if the Patriots are playing in it, but. Sorry, Kevin. Dang. Okay, well. That's tough. I thought we'd at least go one more game. Me too.

That's what it hurts. Yeah, that's what sucks. How does it feel? O for three is bad, dude. You lost every game. Bad. Bad. Like a little bit, though, you have to feel like.

You deserve to lose then. Yeah, like I have nobody to blame by myself. Yeah, for sure. Dang. Well, we can move from that because that is, I don't want the joy to be lost that Reed. And Reed, you're not allowed to do the nice guy thing, which I know you're probably like thinking,

I'll just give the ticket to somebody. No, you won. Kevin wouldn't even allow that. Were you thinking that, Reed? No. Okay, good. Okay. No.

Because you are the nicest guy here by far, and you think of other people, and I want you to not, put yourself out because you're thinking of somebody else. I think you should enjoy it, even though you are leaving the show in like... Yeah, pretty soon. A couple months. Even though you don't watch football.

You're quitting the show. Keep it out. Yep. Keep it coming. Don't let them talk. Hey, dude. You did good. Thank you.

Thank you. Do you know where is that this year? What? The Super Bowl? Yeah, dude. It's at Lambo, right? It is. 77.

It wasn't even like 38, 35. He was rolling. I missed on the third one in practice. He rubbed it in. Oh, in practice. we kept it in. You sucked hard. Wow. It's hilarious.

Okay. It's almost like I want to do nothing now. I'm good with that. I'm good with that. I'm good with that. Yeah. You wonder what to wear to the actual game? Yeah, like I've never been to the Super Bowl. What do you wear?

I guess you're going to rub it in? We can't not talk about it now. Should we have them leave the room, though? Yeah. Should I go now? I'll come back next week. Yeah, like, what do you wear? It's a normal game.

Like, you're not going with your team. Right. You don't have to wear a team. But I would just wear jeans in a... I don't know what the weather is. Can I wear a Cowboys jersey even though they're not playing? Like, you know those... You can, but that's lame as crap.

Whenever you wear a team that's not playing to a game. I thought so. Reid, will you look at New Orleans weather for us? Yep. Because you don't really wear a jersey to a game where your team's not there unless you're lameo. They do in London. They wear every team in London. That's because they don't even.

even know the culture. Right. I would just say where, well, you weren't today, it's fine. I don't know what the weather's going to be. If it's like warm, it's wear a t-shirt. Yeah.

It's indoors, right? I mean... That's a good point. Yeah, I think it's indoors. That's a good point. Yeah, you can literally wear whatever you want. Okay. Most people there won't be there

because of the Eagles or the Chiefs. Yeah. Some will, but most people won't. I do have a Chief's Joe Montana jersey that I've had like since I was like in middle school or high school or whatever. You can wear that.

Are you room for the Chiefs? Yeah, kind of. Not running for the Eagles. You can definitely do that. I didn't think about what I'd have to wear to the game. I mean, Mr. Hunt may make me a big cheese fan. I don't know. That's true.

What do you see? It's going to be pretty warm. I mean, high of 78 on that Sunday. I love his weather. Yeah, man. High of 78, mostly in mid-70s throughout the week. We've got 24% chance of rain on Sunday, though. That's okay.

We forgot we're in the dome. I wonder if radio are all of our interview stuff's in the dome or in the parking lot or what? It's inside. It is? Yeah, like a convention center. That's good. The third game was going to be a game of pickleball today because the weather was good. Oh, shit.

That would have been a good game, too. That is something I feel good about. Because they're kind of equal, no pickleball. They probably both think they can beat the other one. Like, I think Reed's got a little bit of confidence lately. I think Kevin thinks he's a better athlete. I think it would have been... But that is it.

I mean... I'm 77, dude? Yes, I don't know how that has. I'm going to be honest. I feel like he's a good player and he just acted like he wasn't. Reed? Yeah, like he plays Boppet all the time. Did you see him play that practice round?

I know. I didn't know. I was in messing with us. As my stepdad Arkansas Keith used to say, it looked like a cup bear playing with his pecker. Just like figuring it out. Like, what in the heck? Damn. Sorry, Kevin.

Let me see. Bones, are you happier for Reed or sadder for Kevin? Oh, good question. That's a horrible question. I think the emotion. I think the emotion right now is that I'm sadder for Kevin, not because there's anything to do with Reed. I think I'd be sadder for Reed had it gone.

The other way, I'm just sadder for whomever didn't get to go. Because you literally had a 20% chance. Everybody had a 20% chance of missing out. 80% chance of going. Like all five, all four, well, no, there's five. So four of you with three tickets. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So four you were fighting for three tickets.

So that percentage is a bit skewed then. Yeah, you had a good shot to go. Everybody did. and you didn't. There's like no good way to hold that Bopet thing, dude. Apparently they're at 70. Yeah, what's he talking about?

The way you did it was all that way. I probably look ridiculous in the video though. I'm like holding it like a baby. Just stop. We got 77. We had Clark kind of was looking up. He's a billionaire, obviously. Yeah. I was trying to think of all the billionaires

that I've met. Jerry. Jerry Jones, obviously. Oh, I mean, but does it count if it's before, Mike. I guess they have to be a billionaire at the time you meet them. Because obviously I've met Taylor Swift a bunch.

Yeah, she's a billionaire. I should say obviously. I've met Taylor's with a bunch. But she wasn't a billionaire then. So I don't think that counts. I've met Charles Schwab, who is alive and is a real person. Really?

I went and played the Charles Schwab Pro Am and I played with Jordan Speath and he was there and I talked with him. They paid me to come out there and they let me play the tournament. I honestly didn't know he was a real person until you met him. Johnny Morris, no Johnny, Bass Pro, 9.9 billion.

Oh, Owen's Bass Pro. Dang. I thought you were saying he's a Fisher. No, no, no, one's Bass Pro. Like what? So I know that's four billionaires that I've met. Dang. Jerry Jones, Charles Schwab, Johnny Morris, and Clark Hunt.

What about that Scooter Brong guy? I don't know that he's a billionaire. No? Probably hundreds of millions. Probably super rich. You never met Mark Cuban? Never. For some reason I feel like you would have.

I know. I wish I would have. Elon? You met him? No. I was racking the old brain here Couldn't think of any more billionaires Bezos, never met him

Scooter became a billionaire after you met him Really? Yeah That's wild though He's a billionaire, dang Offensive player of the year Sporting News, Sequin Barkley Defensive player of the year Miles Garrett

Comeback player of the year Sam Darnal Rookie of the year Jaden Daniels This is sporting news again Coach of the year Kevin O'Connell Coordinator of the year

Ben Johnson And executive of the year Brad Holmes And Brad is from the I've no idea I've no idea This is executive to put the team over there

Raiders. I don't really root for the executives that much. I'm guessing. But the official NFL awards are Thursday night at the NFL honors which I'm supposed to be presenting at.

That's where we get MVP. Yeah. We, yeah. That's where we find out. MVP. Yeah. All right. Well, I was going to do,

should I do Royal Rumble still? Yeah, dude. I got all sad for Kevin. I spent five hours watching the Royal Rumble, and it started off with the Women's Royal Rumble. And

women's wrestling, I get it. It's grown a lot. I knew like four people in it. They, again, a very, they telegraph their moves a lot more. Like if somebody's jumping off the top rope, they'll start falling back way earlier on the ground.

Some crazy athleticism, but because it has not been as prevalent for as long, you definitely have to suspend any sort of reality. Not that you don't have to suspend. have to do that with a man because you do, but the athleticism is different. I knew like three people. And I didn't even know them from when I was a wrestling fan, because unfairly, I know some of the older wrestlers because dudes can be 55 and still wrestle, and there aren't really any women doing that. I knew Nikki Bella when she came out, big surprise. She's a wrestle in like three years from the Bella

twins. So she came out, and I was like, oh, cool. And people freaked out. I didn't know why, but she's been to a divorce and some domestic assault stuff apparently alleged. I don't even know if it's alleged. I have no idea. So she came out and people freaked out. Charlotte Flair came out, who's Rick Flair's daughter. Oh, that's cool. She won the whole thing. And she hadn't wrestled in a long time. And then because of TikTok, and I get on mostly 90s wrestling, live. And if you look, live up, there was also somebody too that got a huge pop. I got to remember her name. She's married to Ryan Cabrera. I have to any look at that. But Liv, she looks like... Was he Ashley Simpson? Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. Alex. Alexa Bliss. They freaked out when Alexa Bliss came out.

And I don't, again, that wasn't my time. But this Liv looks just like from Suicide Squad. Harley Quinn? Margo Robbie. Harley Quinn. Yes, Margo Robbie, but Harley Quinn, how she looked, but Margo Robbie. Tell me, Liv, if you Google her, she doesn't look like... Yeah. The ponytail, or the pigtails? All of, yes. So that happened, and that was semi-interesting.

Charlotte Flair wins, but I didn't really have any... Any long-term, long-form interest, because the basketball game was still coming on. Now, then they had a tag team match, and it was like the Motor City Mad Men, I'm sure of their name, versus DIY. Never heard of either one of them. Do it yourself? For yourself? I don't know why they're calling that. And again, I'm not claiming to be like a super current wrestling

officianto. I loved wrestling, and then I liked wrestling, and I got out of wrestling, and now I just like it and know the A tier only. It was a kind of boring tag team match. They did two out of three falls. I was just ready for it to be over. It's boring. What was stupid, though, was they still do the thing

where somebody comes out of nowhere and hits somebody with a crutch and then backs off and somebody else wins. Like, can we not retire that? Like, all of a sudden, they're doing the wrestling tag team match and this guy in a hood comes up and takes a crutch And as the other guy's on the top rope goes whack, and then he backs off.

Then they pin the guy. Like somebody from the crowd? It was a wrestler from another tag team, but the match was ruined because he came. Dude, they've been doing that since like I was a kid. Like, can't we retire that? That's funny. So that happens, boring.

Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens, who I know both of them, it was a ladder match where they put the title up on top. And so there's no ladder in the ring, but there are ladders underneath the ring and around the ring. And the thing is, you got to beat your guy up so much that there's time for you

to put the ladder in the ring, climb up, and the first person to grab the title and hold it while they're on top wins the ladder match. These matches are always crazy because there's always a couple like big falls or slams

from the top of the ladder or something. Dude, they went hard. Like, first it was a good match and they're doing the stuff back and forth and Cody Rhodes, American Nightmare, whatever his name is. Kevin Owens is like crazy now,

supposedly. At the end, Kevin Owens slammed Cody Rhodes into the ladder. So, these are real ladders. These guys just have to learn how to take these for a fault. I was like, dude's dead.

Oh. And Cody Roe just laid there. But even, again, we know that there's a script that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. You're still falling on a ladder. Dude. Or falling off a ladder.

So then they get back, the doctors come in, it's all the work, right? But the doctors come in and they're like, everybody okay, everybody okay. And so they get up. Love that.

The final pile driver thing where Cody Rhodes sent Kevin Owens through the ladder outside the ring he like slammed him through and his head goes through I wish you guys could pull it up on TikTok there's no way this didn't hurt again do they know they were going to do it

yeah if he wasn't somewhat injured after this I would be in shock so then Cody Rhodes wins and Cody Rhodes will wrestle at WrestleMania but that was a pretty good match I like the ladder match Cody Rhodes climbed the ladder you know, had the title. Will you see if you can find on TikTok read

the Cody Road slamming Kevin Owens the final, it's like outside the ring. I promise you, his head goes into the ladder and the ladder like breaks or goes down. Dude, it's crazy. Have you ever gotten on one of those rings? Yeah, they hurt. How soft? They seem soft. Are they not soft?

No, they hurt. It's like someone going, when you get tackled on a football field, you're in pads. No, it still hurts. No, that really hurts. compare the two very much. I mean, it's not like this hard floor, but it's not like a cushion or trampoline. Yeah, no, it's still solid.

Reed, are you looking for yourself? No, I got it. Will you show Eddie and Kevin, these guys? Is he like on the table outside the ring? Yes. Tell me this. Okay, he's got his head between his legs. And they're like... Oh, oh, yeah. There's no way. It lands on his neck. And the ladder breaks. Yes, and his head like lands on the ground.

You're right. Like, that has to hurt. Yeah, how do you think that? is a big dude. He's a big dude. Dang. Hey, the guy doing the power driver, how old is he, though? Because he doesn't look young.

They're both probably in their 30s. Dang. Dude. Yeah, you're right, dude. That's got to hurt. I'm saying, these are athletes. Adam, look at this. I'm watching on Twitter.

If you look at both of them, they both hurt. They probably waited to the end of the match to actually pull these off. They're both like, do we really have to do this one? As soon as he throws him in a ladder,

he's like, stay down there. I'm done right now. Kill some time. Yeah. And like, I feel sorry for them. And again, it's fake. No, no, no. The outcome is determined, but that doesn't mean they're not getting hurt.

Yeah. Nothing about that is fake. Oh, my gosh. Unless that ladder's a foam ladder, it hurts. It ain't. It does like it. So then it's time for the main event, the Royal Rumble, 30 entrants. You know who some of them are, but you don't know who all them are, and there are surprises, and you just kind of are waiting.

You know John Cena was going to be there. That's pretty cool. Do you guys ever see the Joe Henry, like say his name? you see the never the memes or anything so he shows up and he's like the champion for another

but he's super viral Roman Raines do you guys know who that is these are people that I know yeah okay Roman rains who hasn't fought who hasn't been a role around but like five years

because he's been the champion so you don't get in it if you're the champion it's to fight the champion they came out huge pops like crowd's crowd goes crazy what was interesting was

this guy you have to look up his name Joey Joey V or whatever who wins it, wasn't super familiar with them, because again, I'm not in depth of the wrestling world. You could tell the crowd loved him, and he goes, yee, ye!

That's his thing? Yeah, he beats John Cena, baby face, crowd loves him. But then I'm watching people online get so upset because his family comes out, and then there's like some Instagram stuff that comes out of them after the match, his whole family's with him. And even some of the guys he was fighting in the ring, you know, there are his enemies.

They're like just celebrating him because it's a match. massive milestone for somebody who's never wanted, who has never really got the push, that finally gets the push. Someone's at my gate, hold on. Okay, I've let them in. Do you know it is? No. Hopefully they don't go in and murder everybody.

So the fans are like, I wish they would leave this behind the scene stuff. Just put it in a documentary because we don't want to see this. We want it to stay real. And I kind of get annoyed at that version of the fan because you know that the outcome is determined. You know they are playing. a character because they can switch and go heal baby face on a single night. They can switch their whole trajectory. That would be like if Daniel Ratcliffe was promoting Harry Potter and you're like, I wish during his whole promotion he would just keep riding the broom. You know he's an actor.

You know he's not really Harry Potter. And you know what? Behind the scenes, he goes to Starbucks. Yeah. And gets in his car and drives. So these people that were getting so mad to see the behind the scenes of like everybody celebrating even his enemies. You're watching characters. You can separate the two. You know the two. You're smart enough to know they're playing characters. But people were getting so mad they were showing like the real life footage. I was like I like to see this stuff. This is cool. This is the human part of it. It's like seeing again, pick your favorite actor, not John, it's Keanu Reeves walking

down the street with this girl, not John Wick. Like you want to see him play the bass in Starhead or whatever band is. so it was pretty cool I watched all of it I was never bored I started watching it because I was just curious to watch a pay-per-view

because back in the day he said to pay for every pay-per-view and I hadn't seen a royal rumble in its entirety and forever I'd watch a bunch of clips and I thought I'm gonna watch it and keep notes until I'm bored and then I'll make a note that I'm bored

I enjoyed all of it well the tag team title thing was a little lame but there were only two solo or two regular matches the Cody Rhodes who's Dusty Rose's his son, one of his sons, and then Kevin Owen's match was good, but then the Roleman was awesome.

Like, Jake Paul came out, he was 30. No, Logan Paul, the wrestler, Logan. He's good. Like, he's a good, for... He's the tall one? Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. He's the one that's not as thick.

Not the one that boxed Tyson. Yeah, he's funny. He got thrown out of the ring, but he jumped across and landed on a table. And he's like, both my feet have hit the ground. So he just sat on the table and watch everybody beat everybody up. It's hilarious. Obviously, again, you don't have to say, like, we know, it's all scripted.

I know, but it was really good. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it very much. So how does Jimmy V get picked? Like, how does all that work? Who's Jimmy V? Oh, I don't know the winner. Who's the guy?

Joe Uso. Joey Uso. Joey Uso. Whatever's name is. J Uso, thank you. Well, that guy. How does he get picked to win the whole thing? Creative, Triple H.

They just... Because Triple H is like head one of the executives over there, him, Stephanie McMahon, even though Vince is not in the company that owns it is not the same company. Yeah, there's a team of writers and creatives. And they just choose them?

Of course. They're like, I think for the story, storyline this happening that leads us to this same as a soap opera right but when you get celebrated like you didn't do anything you just got written in like what are you celebrating the fact that you're the one they got chosen a great performer a great performance and not only that the fact that they have finally they think you're good enough now to be the person that does this like there was a huge moment for him in his career that probably goes into it yeah like are you good enough to be the champ yeah they're not going to pick you if you're some scrub amateur got it so it was like it just

happened. Now I'm finally the champion. This is crazy. Yeah, that makes sense to me. Okay. I was wondering like, that's just weird, like that they just pick. It's all scripted. Like, say one day, like, Reed wins, right? And we're all like, good job, read, but we just picked the read to win. I think mostly it's, you're celebrating a career. And finally in your career, you've reached a point where they have deemed you to be the winner of this major event and you just had a great performance and you won. And like more than just that match, it's like, congratulations. Now, the company, the

culture of wrestling has decided like your next guy up. That's awesome. And yeah, it's super, super exciting. That's cool. Russellmania comes up in Las Vegas. Where was this? This was in Indianapolis. All right down the road.

You could have gone in person. We should go to WrestleMania. Is that a lot of kids? A lot of kids there? No, there's some, but no, it's not like showbiz pizza. It's mostly adults. Chuck and cheese. Yeah, mostly adults.

Very little women. Whenever Reed and I went to SummerSlam, the line for the men's bass room was like out the door. Women's go right ahead. I figured that. Yeah, WrestleMania is in Vegas. So that would be fun. You see when that streamer, I Show Speed, got sent out and got speared?

I did see it. I watched the whole show, man. Dude. So what happened was there was a guy that was coming out and they were like, oh, seventh. I don't know the number it was. And he comes out and he's like, yeah. And then another wrestler that just got kicked out,

punches him. And he gets knocked out so he doesn't even get to go in. So Triple H is back there with a headset. I said, we've got to find somebody to go out in this spot. And so speeds back there. I know speed from racing everybody on the internet, challenging Tyree, jumping over cars, big, big streamer influencer. And so he's like, okay. So he goes out and it lights up speed.

And so he gets in and, you know, he gets in the ring, does a flip. And as soon as you enter the ring, you get to do a couple moves and it's all on you, right? It's orchestrated. And so was it Braun Strowman? Who was it that, or was it, so he speared him hard. I'm talking about, there's no way he wasn't hurt. Because there were camera, there were phone angles from the stands. Show them this.

This is worse than the Cody Rhodes. Yeah, this is bad. So watch, this is him. Oh. So he flips. And watch this. Chilling, chilling. Oh.

I don't care if you know that's coming. And you watch his neck pop, his snap. They show that slow? He's got the neck brace on now. Braun Breaker. Bron breaker. And Bronbreaker is Rick Steiner's son, I believe. Or Scott Steiner's son, one of the Steiner brothers, right?

Let's see. That I have to, like, remember. Oh, man, he got hit hard. Damn, it was a big boy hitting him, too. One of those guys are the Steiner brothers. Yeah, Rick Steiner. It's like the NFL in the 70s. Scott Steiner's his uncle.

Got it. Dude, can you show him a phone from like in the arena? Oh, yeah. Cell phone? This is even... What a crazy sport. It's so athletic. Yo, for sure.

Then again, I'm not like a dial-in A-plus watcher now, but when I watch it, I start to get pissed off of people for being like wrestling, stupid. Watch. Watch this from a cell phone. It's the most athletic, scripted thing I've ever seen. This is cell phone footage. Yeah, that's a hard hit. Dude, he gets around.

That's like a linebacker hit. The way he's bouncing off the ropes coming in with speed, dude. He just turns around. He gets around. And later he was showing Logan Paul his leg and the chunk of leg that was was missing because he took such a hard fall. Dude. That's crazy. Anyway. That's speed.

That's speed. He races everybody. Nobody can outrun him. Jeez. We're done? I can see myself getting into this for sure. Yes. Especially with four boys. Dude, Sam Punk came out. I was like, let's go. It's awesome. Oh, dude, Du Bois. If they got into it, we don't do wrestling. So, like, I feel like if I

introduce him of that, we'd be all in. The problem with UFC and long term is those are real fights and these people don't last a long time because they're really fighting. Yes. For real, for real. You know, the superstar shelf life,

not long because you age, you get beat up, that's real life. You can wrestle a little longer. Like Adasania got beat this weekend. I don't even know who that is, dude. Oh, you know, Israel Adisanias? Oh, I do.

When you say Israel. Yeah, he does the whole praying thing. Yeah, he's tall. I saw him get knocked out. He's lost a couple times in a row now, hasn't he? Yeah, on the way down. Yeah. Like he's like, I'm not afraid to die.

And he goes in. Yeah, that's crazy. Is John Jones still awesome? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, when he fights, yeah. Like, he gets suspended and stuff, right? He's a nice guy now, though. Like, he's, he plays a baby face.

He went healed the baby face? He plays a nice guy, but he still knocks people out. Yeah, dude's awesome. Okay, thank you. Kevin, we're really sorry, dude. I know. Kevin can't even enjoy the show. No, I really can't.

That whole, I don't even know what we just talked about for the last, whatever. Nine minutes. Sorry, dude. Nothing. All right, thank you guys. We will be on the bus. So we may throw up an episode earlier than normal. It's going to have the hum in the background?

Well, we got on a plane and did it once and there was no hum. That's true. We did do that, didn't we? Yeah, okay. Thank you. And Eddie, blow the whistle. And we will see you guys later on this week. Bye, everybody.
