Journalist Chris Cody is trying to give us his dolphin information, get it out there before the draft tonight, before we do that however. Do you guys have any interest in hearing Ed Orgeron speaking French? The swamp creature, the Creole creature. I see him all the time down here in South Florida, jogging, right on the beach. He's always around shirtless

Let's hear Ed Orgeron since you all nodded vigorously. Let's hear Ed Orgeron speaking French Oh, I forget a bit. Trop froid. C'est pas bon? Trop froid. Trop froid. C'est trop froid. C'est 4 degrés. Ouais. C'est tout tuer les Satu. Viens, viens au Miami. C'est tout ton show.

Oh, ouais, ouais. C'est beau. C'est tout beau. C'est tout bon. Ouais, ouais, ouais. T'as une maison là-bas? Non, non, non, non. Un cadeau.

Un cadeau. That's always what he's wearing. That's great. Since he retired and left as a champion in disgrace from LSU. Oh, Miami! With a whole bunch of crimes in the rear view mirror, he's always either wearing that or not even that shirt

as he jogs very red, pink, and kind of muscular, but also a bit inflated as he huffs past jogging off whatever he drank the night before. I actually, I have a bad feeling Greg about your exactos tonight. I don't know if you're gonna get that many. During the break and after we talked to Diana, I saw some more reports come out about like oh we're pretty sure this player is gonna go here, blah blah blah. And I'm worried that you published too soon and now I'm a little anxious for you.

I am very confident in my first five or six, but the problem with that is that one surprise has a domino effect. Can I hear the first five or six? Yeah, in order, Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter, Will Campbell, the tackle to New England, and Mason Graham, by far the best interior D lineman. If we could let you make some changes, I'd be willing right now to publicly allow you to make the changes and then claim them as exactos tomorrow because you don't do multiple drafts, but you already know that some of your information is bad and has changed. What would you change if you had a do-over right now?

Let's give you that do-over. Well, I'm not gonna take it because I don't change. If I were, I'm very nervous about, as Diana said, right now let's give you that do over well i i i'm not going to take it because i don't change if i were i'm i'm very nervous about as diana said i'm very nervous about should or sanders to the saints at nine so if you could if you could i i would i would drop should or sanders uh... i'm not sure if i would keep will johnson the cornerback from michigan as

the dolphins pick at thirteen uh... i'm i'm i'm the Dolphins are getting a little bit nervous that he had sort of a down senior year with an injury. His sophomore and junior years he was the best DB in the country. He would have been like a top five guy. Absolutely. Chris Cody seems to have better information in the Cody family about what the Dolphins are doing. He too is a journalist, as much of a journalist as Zaslow and his father, what are you reporting from your inside sources?

Now, I've been throwing a few names that the Dolphins are considering. I don't know if I wanna say the names, but I feel confident about one thing. Why wouldn't you wanna say the names? Because, you know, I gotta protect sources, Dan. You know journalism, how this works? First, let me say my first part,

and then you guys can dig deeper. I'm confident that the picket that Dolphins make at 13 will come from one of two schools, Michigan or Texas. Okay, so it's one of the corners. Well, I have a list of five names and it's all from those two schools that I think that one of those five guys will be a dolphin. I know maybe that's not going out on the limb,

but that's what I'm reporting. Okay, all right. It's Texas and it's Michigan. I'm sticking with Will Johnson because that's who's in my mock draft. From Michigan. Right, but I also have five names on my list of players that they would consider if available at 12.

13. 13. Raymond Jayoff now. And those players are Houston Tackle, Kelvin Banks, Alabama Guard Tyler Booker, South Carolina Safety Nick Amonwary, houston tackle kelvin banks alabama guard tyler booker uh... south carolina safety nick and then worry texas quarterback jade barone

and defensive lineman uh... walter nolan from all mess the last twelve seconds or why i hate this week what they're jay and all he's just reading names poorly i'm reading names that i think the dolphins just would possibly be named poorly that he hasn't broken down I'm sorry I'm not perfect like you keep an eye on really aspiring though keep it on Mason Graham defensive tackle from Michigan and Kenneth Grant defensive tackle you understand why there is no way Mason Graham drops to 13 put that in the bank no way nobody would deposit

that there's not a bank zero chance I would go right into my bank right now and say I want to deposit May it Mason Graham going higher than 13 and they would Say yes, sir. Where is he going or save where you have them? He's going number five to Jacksonville says you want to Jay off with them What are you heard how many names you got how many schools? Greg do you understand why I hate that you You grab a couple of Athlons magazines, you read a couple of Schrager's drafts and Mel Kuyper's drafts, and then you make your pegs. Damn, it's draft day.

It's not like we've been doing this for the last three months. Let us have a couple hours. We're not even doing a live show. Last year, it's like, okay, save it for the show. We're not even doing that this year. This is all we got. We are doing the live show out in Nashville.

It meant like in the studio streaming it like we did last year with Greg in the board and the exactos, etc. First of all, does Athlons even still make a magazine? Yes. Okay. I haven't read Athlons in 30 years. It's not plural. I think it's just... Athlon? Okay. Whatever. Bad name. Then again, I thought the athletic was a bad name and that worked out pretty well.

I purposely, especially the closer it gets to the draft, I purposely do not read other drafts because I don't want to be overly influenced. Do I read drafts in the build-up like a month ago? Of course I do and certain people I respect like Field Yates of ESPN, who's a guest on the Greg Cody show, check it out. He's got some good intel. I really really respect him I read his draft but mine are different Mel Kuiper and I have 10 of the same 32 picks meaning 22 of our picks are different so we'll see they're different but I'm gonna go ahead and say that if they were exactly the same you'd change it just so they wouldn't be and and you think the odds of us

picking 32 same things would be what? I'm saying he influences you. I'm saying you don't sit out the Kuiper information. I say you use it you use it discriminately. I read a half a dozen drafts that I respect but when it comes down to I think I think mock drafts are the most over thought of process in sports. When it comes down to it, you pick a team's draft needs and best available at that position. Let's not over think it. I know I'm in the minority on this and I have been for about 10 years

as this thing has grown into a seismic event that is a celebration of the sports fans' love of the transaction. Like I know that I am largely alone in preferring games with action tonight than the hope trafficking of some team may or may not have gotten better. I'll find out in a few months, but I'll give you my very strong opinions right now and none of us will know anything for a few months.

It's part of the reason that I don't celebrate this the way that you guys do. But the thing that baffles me truly is I know Mina Kimes to be someone who has a wild diversity of interests and there's nothing she cares about more than mock drafts and I don't get it like it's just simply something that I have no link to being attached to. Perhaps it's because she enjoys the sport of football and sports are fun. And so, hypothesizing where a player who is fun to watch and was very good in college, playing a sport that's fun to watch,

may play in the pros and be fun to watch, is a fun exercise. Agreed, if I could watch them play tonight and see if the team's any better. But you're seeing your team add people in real time and you can get excited, have informed people talk about upside. It's the biggest sport in America. College football is the second biggest sport in America. You're adding guys from one sport to the next. I get it. It's like, you know, it's like sharing lineup rumors for a music festival. You just

get pumped for it. That's what mock draftss are it's just all a ramp to tonight. I think it's a great night and and trafficking in hope is the the number one drug of sports fans it's what sports fans do. It is but I would just simply say to you when I put them next to each other in terms of my getting what sports fans want from their content when we're talking about the love of the transaction Chris Haynes of my getting what sports fans want from their content. When we're talking about the love of the transaction, Chris Haynes speaking this strongly as I've heard no one speak about a star

that I know will make any team better upon arrival. This kind of talk, I understand, when this is the hope trafficking. Will Giannis finish finishes career in milwaukee i don't think so i don't think so i'd there is going to be a pivotal playoff

uh... this twenty piece twenty twenty five playoff for the milwaukee bucks is going to be pivotal you know will if they don't get to the finals win the finals or even make a deep run, you can probably see some wholesale changes going on in Milwaukee. You can go from coaching staff, from front office to the players.

It can be a pretty big significant wholesale if the Milwaukee Bucks don't make a significant run this postseason. Could you see them trading Yanis? I could see them going in a different direction and yeah i i can start to see that possibility if things ghost hour this postseason for the eagles had a hell of a draft last year and it had uh... draft drafted players who contributed to the winning of a championship but it took

six months to get there after the draft this when this transaction makes an appearance is instantaneously hopeful in a way that I get more than I understand what we're doing I don't understand you're playing both sides you literally took part in the hype for a transaction while moments before lamenting the hype because this is a player I know instantaneously make someone better. I don't know anything about tonight making anyone better. Okay, but that's on you.

It's not on me. No one does. Oh really? Well, I was super hyped about Baker Mayfield going to the Browns and it ended up working out until it didn't. But like, that's what sports fans do. They watch guys in college, they say, I think this guy's going to be really good and they'll get confirmation bias one way or another, but it's a way to get hyped.

I'm not sure that it's a competition though. Like we can get hyped over the transaction where you're making a trade or you're signing a free agent superstar, like you just heard right there. Or we can get excited about the hope that something like the NFL draft or even the NBA draft brings. Like I don't think it's a competition. One thing I think is that there's not much difference between somebody speculating about Giannis' future and somebody speculating about who the Giants are going to take at number three. It's the same thing.

And in this draft, because it isn't a great draft, because there isn't a sure fire quarterback, I think there's going to be a lot of drama tonight that's unexpected. When Shador Sanders starts falling and all of a sudden it appears he might not even go in the first round That's a huge story that's gonna dominate the draft Somebody's gonna take a guy in the top 10 or 12 that that nobody had going in the first round. That's a good story Travis Hunter is gonna be picked number two his dad's prison sentence was delayed so he could attend the draft That's a human interest story that draws me into I wonder how much coverage that's gonna get tonight

Zaslow it is a competition in this respect tonight. There are Playoff games with stakes being played and those eyes are being taken by something that isn't games It's paperwork. It's accounting that isn't games, it's paperwork, it's accounting. It's additions. I don't get it. Like, dude, okay, you don't like it. I love World Cup draws. They're not playing the games that night,

but I get to know what the games are gonna be. I hate schedule stuff too. Okay, why do anything? It's like a show. No, that's it. No, play the games, that's the doing of things. All this is front office transactions. Well guess what?

Give us Nick's Pistons preview then. I'm ready for it. I like the games too. Like I like the hype for the games, I like sports. I like the fun outfits, I like seeing the fans, I like the suspense, I like the music. Do do do do do do do do do. I think we have to also give context to,

yes you're right, the NFL Draft, which is a transaction, will be going on at the same time as NBA playoffs tonight and the NFL draft will dominate it in the ratings okay but that's a whole lot more about the sport we're talking about as opposed to the hope trafficking in the transactions because if you flipped it and you did a show with NBA transit NBA trades or or or NBA free agency is going on at the same time an NFL game, a game is going on just like tonight, but you flip the sports, the NFL game is going to crush this transaction show that the NBA is putting on.

Everything except the decision which got 10 million fans a football type of, and if Giannis did that tonight, if Giannis did that tonight it would also be something that would rival a football type of, and if Giannis did that tonight, if Giannis did that tonight, it would also be something that would rival a football game. I would say if you were combining, like, because the NFL draft also often includes, we talked about Kirk Cousins earlier, like there are these big names that could potentially move. If you basically took all of the NBA's transaction window,

all the free agency, all the trades, the draft, and put it all within the span of three or four days like this, it might do well on a random NFL weekend. The NFL is so much bigger, it's not gonna happen on a playoff weekend. The NFL game will still outrate it. It will, and that's what I'm saying,

but it's the combination of you're also taking all of the best players from a sport that we love in college football and telling us what the next stage of their futures are going to be. So it's not just the hope trafficking for the NFL, it's if you're a college football fan you're getting to see where some of your favorite players are about to start their careers and that is exciting. The NBA and the NHL playoffs last for two months. They've just begun.

No game played tonight is going to decide anything. Whereas the NFL draft is a once-a-year enterprise They call it the offseason Super Bowl because it is Mammoth in terms of interest in terms of the intersection of NFL and college football America's two favorite sports It's going to be highly rated for a reason people adore it and should I'm looking forward to it Yeah Like also the WMA draft the last two years, over a million people watched this year, over two million people watched last year. It's not just the NFL. It's sports

where you have hugely popular players playing a college sport. You want to see what they do the next year. It's pretty normal, I think. And it's about moments too. Like you may not know what finished product you're getting, but if the Falcons draft Michael Penick after they just gave Kirk Cousins one of the biggest contracts at the position in NFL history, that is a seismic event in that sport. And it's just a thrilling made for television event. And I understand you don't know whether or not

these players are gonna be good. You could say that about damn near everyone in this draft, but let's not pretend like fans aren't right a lot more too than we're giving them credit for. When the New York Jets fans are booing the pick of Kyle Brady because they pass up on Warren Sapp, that's a moment. That's also almost immediate confirmation

that this front office doesn't know what the hell they're doing. And a lot of people are watching just to have faith that there's proof of concept and they're doing stuff that I like. Okay, I want more reasons to be optimistic. One of the best man on the street things Charlotte and I did at SI was we went to a bar in the village

when the Giants drafted Daniel Jones. I was a number six overall. This fan, this poor Giants fan, he just lost his mind on our live show and it was so funny and I was like, oh, I don't know, like Daniel Jones, he had some moments that, they beat Notre Dame last year, I don't know, he was right, he was right.

And it was very fun and very funny. And he was, I'm sure very sad about it to this day. But yeah, and Dan, will I be asleep the minute the Steelers finish their pick? Probably, it drags a little bit at the end. And it's like, okay, do we really need 10 minutes on the clock for the Titans to pick? They've been on the clock since the end of the season. That makes me crazy.

Just put it in the pick. But will I watch it anyways? Of course I will. Roger Goodell is gonna step up to the podium tonight and say the NFL Draft is open. And then they're gonna put a clock up there that says 10 minutes, and the godforsaken Titans are gonna take their entire allotted time

to draft Cam Ward. I need those 10 minutes for just the Cal highlights. Just to Dan's point, there are some people that have gone too far into the transaction space over the games. The Heat are not the only franchise that had its fan base rooting against making the postseason and having moments that are game action

because they want to hope traffic, because they want to think about the future draft pick that's gonna come this year and start looking at mock drafts and things. That's where maybe we start moving forward in a way that is too much, where you can have moments like Zazz and I were talking about last night's game

that's this electric feeling as you're coming back. Even if you get swept, you have the moment of the game where there are some fans that would rather not watch that and start hope trafficking. That's where it probably jumps the shark, but I think that there's clear entertainment in looking at which of those superstars from the previous league get into this one.

Okay, and so you can say, and the majority of people listening to this can say there's clear entertainment in that I know I'm in the minority I just gave Diana Rusini an hour to talk about this and we do it every single year because I Consistently step out of the way on what it is. The customers desires are here but when you guys bring up the examples of Daniel Jones and Baker Mayfield and those people are people we argued about on both sides of are they good or are they not for several years I'm not in a hurry to start that before I have any additional information on how good they

actually are. But that's the sport they are about. I'm still fighting about DAC. I'm still fighting about DAC. I'm arguing about if a player is good or not. You're right. You're in an empire. You have a number of sports. You have a number of sports. You have a number of sports. What are we fighting about? I'm still fighting about DAC! I'm still fighting about DAC! Is Ryan Genna old? This is what leads our families!

This is what put food on our table! You're an asshole! This is how I pay my rent! Come on! Pitch clock is gonna be in a couple of minutes if you want your baseball and don't want us to be talking baseball. Just want Jeremy and be talking baseball. Just want Jeremy and friends talking baseball. Jeremy has fuzz in his eyebrow and it's pissing me off.

You traffic on fans all the time. Mike Ryan is headed to Talladega this weekend in an RV, in a camper of some sort with friends that I don't imagine is gonna smell very good. I'm going with College Mike too. Oh no. Yeah, College Mike. My man Ross, Nate, I'm going with College Mike too. Oh no. Yeah, College Mike. My man Ross, Nate, I'm so excited for this.

I was listening to Talladega by Eric Church. And this is a super speedway. This is the biggest, most dangerous race on NASCAR circuit. They do it twice, once here during the regular season, once during the playoff. I was texting with Marty Smith yesterday because this is my rookie journey over to Talladega

and he said, it's like Mardi Gras for Rednecks, that's a direct quote to which I said, I thought that was Mardi Gras. But there's body parts, beer, fast cars, apparently where I'm sitting right on the finish line, it feels like Armageddon literally every time they go around that track. So I cannot wait and I'm gonna be on the finish line, it feels like Armageddon literally every time they go around that track. So I cannot wait and I'm gonna be doing a lot of content

up there for DraftKings who was so kind to help me out. And it's presented by NASCAR. Yeah! At Talladega Super Speedway. Tune in Sunday, April 27th at 3 p.m. Eastern on Fox. Hopefully I get in that grid walk a little bit. I'll be out there with a garage pass. And we're hoping that Ryan Blaney's luck changes. Remember when he was on with us a couple weeks ago, he said that it's entirely possible that he gets hit by

an asteroid on a final lap. And that kind of happened. His engine blew out over at Homestead. His luck has to change. But this is such a dicey track. It's almost impossible to predict what is going to happen at a super speedway because there are multiple big ones thank you man I'm talking about the butts I know you're really excited about this I look forward to seeing what you produce for DraftKings I am looking forward actually to seeing what it is that Walter Hawkins and Billy and Mikey A do tonight on YouTube as they go to the place the draft isn't.

It's not in Green Bay where everybody is right now, ridiculously sitting in the actual cold. It's just stupid. Just go inside. Just nobody needs to do that 10 hours beforehand in order to show us you're in Green Bay for the draft. We're not gonna be in Green Bay for the draft. We're gonna be in Tennessee for the draft.

Yeah, weird. It is unusual, and Walter Hawkins is there and not the toothache of Stugatz, but that will be on YouTube tonight. Before we do anything else though around here, I wanted to ask Greg Cody something about something that he wanted to talk about today because he was lamenting a happiness report that ranks the United States lower than he's ever seen it ranked in whoever it

is that's measuring this happiness report. Yeah, Oxford University in England does this. They've been doing it, I think think 20 years, not that long, but you know they measure you know mental health and income and crime and all these different factors. Whether it's legit or not I don't know, but Finland wins every year. Finland, okay. But the United States this year ranked lower than it's ever ranked before, which was 24th. And I just find that interesting because, you know, when I look around the country and everything, I'm happy personally. Like, when I look at happiness through the micro...

The draft is tonight. Why wouldn't you be? I mean, I'm as happy as I can be. I'm fortunate. But when I look at happiness through the macro, can be unfortunate but when i look at happiness through the macro i see it and and i don't want to get to political here but i'm not quite as proud to be an american as i a once was for various reasons that's a political and and i wonder if if that factors into the world happiness report ranking america

lower than it's ever ranked like what are they normally you're saying is the lowest that they've they've ever been what Like what are they normally? You're saying this is the lowest that they've ever been. What are they usually on average? We've ever been. I mean normally they're in the in the 10 to 12 range or something like that because I think the major industrial countries never rank super high. Scandinavia dominates this thing. Why did you say Finland the way that you did? Well yeah what's Finland got going on anyway? I don't know. They've got a lot of national parks. Great hockey players I'll tell you that. But why did you say Finland with a derisiveness, a disgust?

I didn't know I did. It felt like you were like, Finland shouldn't be happier than us. I love Finland. Finland doesn't have it. Have you ever been? I've never been. What do you know about Finland? You know, they produce great NHL players.

So nothing? I think they lead the league in most hot tubs per capita. I think they love their hot tubs there. Barkov. I would actually, I'd love to go to Scandinavia. My wife is like, no, no way. I've also mentioned Japan. She didn't want to go to Japan.

She's got very strongly opinionated on where she wants to visit. Women. What?

I knew my underwear drawer would just simply never be the same. Tommy John just recently sent some of their product to those of us in the shipping container.

There's a genuine comfort and I can tell that they put in effort to make sure, specifically in our case with men, that we would feel comfortable. Honestly, Tommy John's changed the game for me. I know it's gonna be a good day now when I walk out the door and I've got Tommy John

Stugats. I would die I don't know where it is. This is the Dunlavatar show with the Stugats. I have so many questions for this man. I don't understand how it is.

He's at the center of the Broncos decision making. I don't understand why he's in Green Bay and will be a centerpiece at tonight's draft. A centerpiece? That's not nice. And I want to also ask him. It's also not accurate. It is accurate and we will talk to him about it. I wanna talk to Brad Williams about his feud with Zazzlow.

Did you guys know that Brad Williams has a feud with Zazzlow? So I'm in a group chat with both Brad and Zazzlow, and once I added Zazzlow to the group chat, everyone caught a vibe, and Brad kinda took him out, and I've been waiting for this story. There is a longstanding beef between the two. Hold on, Brad. Zaslow, what is your side of things

before Brad eviscerates you and wins this discussion? Okay, I have no issue with Brad. I like Brad a lot. I consider Brad a friend at this point, but I did do something once that I guess I regret. Okay, I made a scene at one of Brad's shows. Like a legit scene. Oh no, BradWilliamsComedy.com

is where you go for dates and tickets. He's joining us from Green Bay. What was this scene? Was he heckling you? What happened, Brad? Oh, all right, before Zazz makes it sound like he was the ideal audience member. He was not. By the way, welcome to my lovely hotel room

in Green Bay, Wisconsin. I'm glad I cleaned it up for you guys. Either way, Zazz was in the audience. I'm on stage doing my show. And then is this the version of the show where I can curse? Yep. Okay, so I'm just doing my set. And then all of a sudden from the audience,

you just hear the loudest person ever just yell, will you shut the f*** up? And that was Zazzlo in the middle of my show, screaming, will you shut the f*** up? And it is quite the feat when you pull focus from a dwarf telling jokes. That is quite the feat. So, yes, he's right, all right.

What? Here's, I cannot deny. What? I cannot deny. Although I will say it wasn't will you. Okay, I wasn't asking a question. I was telling, all right. There was no will.

It was shut the fuck up. All right, so here's what happened. So we're in the middle of the show. I said hello to Brad before this show. He's my friend, it was good to see him. I've seen Brad several times do his act. And my wife and I were at the show. We're sitting toward the back of one of the couches.

And there is a really loud man who is behind us with a couple of women. They have been over served. They are clearly drunk and They are loud and my wife I don't know if you guys are like this But if you're out with your wife, and you get any kind of sense it could be unspoken That she is not enjoying herself that she is bothered by something I can sense it and it ruins my night

He is bothered by something. I can sense it and it ruins my night. And so I could feel the buildup. My wife is getting agitated at the people who are being loud and disrespectful to Brad, but people are being loud behind us and eventually it's growing and it's growing and I go from zero to a hundred. I'm a calm dude, but when I get upset, especially in this case where my wife is bothered, I don't mess around. And it got to a point where I turned around and I yelled for everyone here, shut the up. Brad, were you hearing the previous people or did you just hear Zazz ruining your show?

I just heard Zazz ruining my show. I did not hear the previous people. And just to be clear, Zazz is making his wife the Jada Pinkett in this scenario where it's like Will was sitting there like, I don't want to slap Chris Rock, but my wife's uncomfortable, so let me go assault one of the best comedians ever. So Zazz is sitting there going like, I don't want to ruin the show, but my wife's uncomfortable. So let me go ruin the show. And so Brad's immediate reaction, because Brad can't see the lights are in his face. He can't see the crowd. Certainly cannot see the back of the crowd.

And all he hears is me yell. He doesn't know it's me. Can you not do this again just because it's Take your kids to work day. Sorry. You've done this five times already. So Brad, so Brad then all of a sudden stops. He goes, me?

Shut the f*** up. And so then I realized what just happened and the security comes, they kick the people out, but here's the thing, I'm like mortified now because I didn't realize, oh my God, like I like Brad and I feel like I just ruined the show. You didn't realize you were loud? Yeah, and so the show ends now.

The show ends, okay, I'm still embarrassed, I feel really terrible, and Brad does meet and greets after the show, all right? And I'm like, I can't even handle it. I feel so terrible, I have to go rat myself out. And so I run up to the front of the line, I just skip everybody. I run up to the front, I can't hold it in anymore. I run up to the front of the... I can't hold it in anymore. I run up to the front of the line and I grab Brad. I go, he's happy to see me. I go, hey man, that was me who yelled and interrupted the show. I'm so sorry, but they were being really rude.

I feel really terrible, but it was me. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. And he, yeah, so. Do me a favor, Zass. Can you do the same thing at Pearl Jam? Can you do the same thing at Pearl Jam? Can you do the same thing at Pearl Jam? When any veteran is going on a rant in between songs about current tariffs and other political beliefs

that he has, can you just scream out as loud as you can? Will you shut the F up? Can you please do that? We've got kids in the room. I regret giving you guys permission to curse. I have a couple of other questions, including how it is that you ended up at the table with the Denver Broncos tonight.

But before we get to that, I want to know, because we're talking about the tush push as an evolution, because I have seen a Reddit post, not the most credible of things, saying that Mike Leach once suggested the idea of using a little person in football because you can then hand him the football in short yardage situations

and just flip him over the defensive line. Have you seen this? Have you heard of it? Do you believe it? And is it something that would clearly work? Not only have I seen this Reddit post, but I was firmly aware of it. And last night at the NFL draft,

me and a select group of fans got to have a sort of private press conference with Roger Goodell, and they took questions from the audience. And there is video currently on my Instagram me asking Roger Goodell this very question. I asked the commissioner of the NFL, you know, you're banning the tush push, how about we make it legal if we throw dwarves over the offensive line into the end zone.

Roger immediately hired me. I believe I am now a full-time active member of the Denver Broncos. If this whole standup comedy thing doesn't work out. I mean, Hollywood's not hiring us. There's no dwarves in the Snow White movie. So we gotta do what we can to find work. And this is what we're doing.

This is a glitch in the system. I can get you five yards of carry this way, and that pays in the NFL. They cannot allow this. Why was your question so long to Gadel? Why was it so long? It's called setting up a bit. It's called setting up a bit. It's called setting up a bit, Dan.

I don't know if you know how to do this, but you can't just go in there guns a blazing. You got to set up the bit. So I wanted to make Gadel comfortable and have him thinking that I'm asking him about the tush push. When he thinks I'm digging, that's when I'm zagging. And that's what I ask about the Mike Leach thing.

So you don't think you set up the bit simply by standing in front of Gidele, huh? You thought you That no, he doesn't know that I'm a comedian he sees a dwarf in a John Elway jersey stand up He's probably thinking all right, they gave him make-a-wish kid some tickets. So that's what he's thinking so then I then I have to actually show him the bit and Goodell and I exchanged numbers I could now text Roger Goodell I believe I'm invited to an eyes wide shut style Illuminati party next week. It's gonna be a blast How did you end up at Denver's table tonight? And how active are you gonna be? Are you gonna shut the bleep up or are you going to be giving helpful tips?

I ended up at Denver's table tonight because I am a, I'm a C-list celebrity. And if you're going to be a C-list celebrity, choose an NFL team that doesn't have a lot of celebrity fans or at least vocal celebrity fans. If I was a chiefs fan, I'm like 12th in line behind the ninth lead in Modern Family. But I'm a Broncos fan. So it's like me and Angela from the office. And that's about it. Are you excited about tonight in terms of a sports perk? Because

you really have been adopted by the Broncos fan base, by the Broncos themselves. You've been on the Jumbotron dancing. It's got to be a bit surreal to be at the center of all this. It's very surreal and I'm very excited. I believe multiple mock drafts have the Broncos choosing a running back in the first round, Omari and Hampton from the University of North Carolina. I'm really excited about that.

I think he's a stud of a running back. Comparisons have him to like maybe a Jonathan Taylor. He's got a lot of speed, got a lot of size. I think he's an upgrade from Javante Williams who the Broncos traded to the Dallas Cowboys. So I'm really excited about that draft and get some Bo Nicks, some more offensive help. But yes, I have been adopted by the Broncos

and I am stoked about it. Any Green Bay observations? Is that a place that you've been to very often? I have. I've been here multiple times. But this time, because the draft is here, they greet you at the airport with cheese curds. It's amazing.

They hand you a bag of cheese curds when you get off the plane at the airport. I was on my flight. I was sitting next to Rondé Barber,, uh, which we both walked off the flight at the same time, which, uh, it's gonna be very confusing for anyone who was watching us get off the plane, like seeing Rondé Barber and then me right next to them. They're like, well, this is a new category on Pornhub. It's actually not that new.

Um, he's a friend of the show, comedian, Brad live on tour. You can see him live on tour and you can go to bradwilliamscomedy.com for show dates and tickets. Look forward to seeing you tonight. Enjoy yourself, Brad. Always nice seeing you.

I'm sorry, Brad. Hey, hey, it's all right, Zazz. Let's put it to bed and let's just have a Miller Lite together. Excellent work. And you know, not a lot of carbs. I think it's like 96 calories, no big whoops. And brewed right here in the great state of Wisconsin.

So I'm really excited about the draft. Excellent work. Thank you, Brad. Good talking to you. I just want to foul up Zazz's mood right now. Zazz was predicting a Miami Heat victory last night. He was very confident. And this is a stat from Tim Reynolds, okay?

This is the Heat last night had 112 points. They had 16 threes. They had better than 50% shooting and they allowed less than 50% shooting. In playoff games all time, when those things were so, NBA teams were 90, I, sorry, 76 and 0. 76 and 0, and the Heat, with those numbers all time, were 45 and one, and they lost.

The Heat played their game, and I know that Andrew Wiggins and Bam weren't good, they played their game, and the Cavs beat them anyway because they made more threes in a second quarter or in a quarter than any team has ever made in the postseason. Yeah, all those numbers are cool, but when the other team shoots 50% from three

and breaks a record in the second quarter, you're probably not gonna win. Folks, listen up. They're here and they're hot. Get ready because Jimmy John's is turning up the heat.
