We kick things off with Thursday Thunder and whether or not Saquon Barkley is TOUGHER THAN TOUGH. Then, Kenny Mayne is here to discuss his new documentary on Wiffle Ball and his experience with Ken Griffey Jr., Dancing with the Stars, being a delightful weirdo, his fake candles, and to give the crew a tour around his house for some reason.

The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBattard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it.

And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar. That's right, it's time for Thursday Thunder, and it's brought to you by DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear all about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Mike, what do we got? Bolt me. Good timing, good timing.

We are in a contract here. You should get your ass out of here. You should get your ass out of here. You should get your ass out of here. You should get your ass out of.

Don't do that during a sponsored segment. Draft Kings is our sugar daddy. Can we please do this better? Bolt me. Three leg parlay. It'll pay out at plus 472, but we're going cross-sport and you're gonna have to be a little patient with this one Because it won't fully pay off until the weekend. Here we go First leg we look to Thursday Night Football. We got a good one. Commies taking over, Pennsylvania Second week in a row that's happened. All right We got the commanders got the Philadelphia Eagles and I think Saquon Barkley's going to score a touchdown anytime touchdown score. First leg. He's been pretty important for them, right? Like if we were to say transactions, trades,

best in the, in football in the off season. So Saquon's been the most important one, correct? Hard hitting analysis from Dan Lebedue. He's tougher than everybody else. Sometimes. And actually that was your take. You said there was like a handful of guys, Derrick Henry, Nick Chubb, Saquon Barkley. They appear tougher. This is weird. Your takes are coming back to haunt you.

Tonight in the NHL, late one, 10-10 start. I love this bet. This is one of the more routine bets that I have in hockey. Quinn Hughes assist, over. Love that guy. Sniper. And also, to close out our parlay, there's a big fight this weekend. There's a couple big fights this weekend.

We're going to the Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight, and we're going with Jake Paul by KO slash TKO slash DQ at plus 150 to close out our three leg parlay. That is Thursday Thunder. I've never criticized Thursday Thunder before. That's a trash third leg. You're a Tyson guy? Yes. Have you seen, we've talked a lot about Alex Jones

and you're all familiar with the internet meme of like the before and after where it's the same picture. That's kind of what's happening with Mike Tyson training camp photos in which Mike Tyson, wow, what a transformation. And all he's done is pull his trunks up. All he's done is to pull his trunks up above his belly button, and everyone's like, man,

that guy's in crazy good shape. That works though. If I did that to you right now, if I did that right now, I think I would look in better shape than you guys think I am. If I were to just pull up my pants to a certain point. You won't.

This is why millennials were crying when Gen Z brought back the low rise pant again, Dan, because the high waisted trend has been the best thing That's ever happened to anyone. I wonder if Kenny Maine might want to at the end of this segment see if he and I do a Belly off here to see who it is can pull up their pants to the place that makes it look like they are more buff than they Actually are Kenny Maine is gonna join us right now. He is, I believe to be, and I say this,

with the most profound respect, the single worst contestant in the history of Dancing with the Stars. The single worst that there's ever been. However, however, I do really and genuinely admire his bravery in doing that and I think it takes a really great sense of humor to be someone brave enough to do that when you know that you cannot dance so Kenny thank you for being on with us I want to

talk about your documentary in a second but it was both brave and awful to see you on Dancing with the Stars. That's the worst introduction I've ever had. Not just on this show, but really any show. I was not the worst even that season. Master P was worse than I. I just didn't get the following. And so I got voted off. And Drew Rowe, the judge, hated me.

I was doing things that were so subtle and nuanced, they wouldn't be understood for decades, and we haven't even reached that time point yet. But I tried, plus they paid money. I did it for the money. I didn't give a damn about the dancing. I wanna talk to you about your documentary. You pride yourself on being strange.

I would say that in the history of sports media, very few people have ever made the content that you have made. Why? Why are you killing the guy? The first two things you said to him are the worst things ever. I think he would think.

Thank you. Yes, thank you. I would think that you would view strange as a compliment. No? I mean, strange is derogatory. You could have said quirky, ironic, you know, like throw some other terms, like whatever. We're friends. I thought you liked me so far, you've insulted like throw some other terms, like whatever, we're friends.

I thought you liked me so far, you've been told to me twice on the game, but I'm here, I'll take the punches. I got a wiffle ball, I got a bat, I got a piece of griffy art back here that's in the movie that's for sale to help my foundation called Run Freely to support veterans.

So yeah, I'll fire away. I'm ready, let's go, meet the press. Kenny, you're well aware, I think, that you carved out a lane in this industry making eccentric content that no one else was making. That's a much better framing. There you go. But you know what I meant? You know what I meant? Like how would I not? Your entire career is built on I'm going to take a path No one else is taking then your intro was like this delightful weirdo Kenny Maine. Yeah Here comes a freak show he's now a senior citizen playing golf a lot

Yeah, no all those things are true. They try to get rid of me after like two months though because that wasn't conforming But I battled I found a couple allies, Vince Doria, I know you love him, he stayed with me and kept me in. I stayed around a while, but it was fun while it lasted. I want to get to the Wiffle Ball documentary that makes all of that awkward introduction. I'm explaining that you make choices that other people don't make.

If you're gonna pour your life into poor into making a documentary most people might say whiffle ball would not be the way to go that this is not the choice of an easy documentary to make so why is it that we should be supporting this choice that Kenny Maine is making when he can choose anything in the world to tell a story about. Because you're so fond of me and our relationship is so strong you just believe

in whatever I believe in next that would be my short statement to that no it's a thing that happened when I was at channel 11 in Seattle Tacoma way back when I think I'd been on TV for a year and a half somehow I talked Harold Renans and Ken Griffey into coming to the Seattle Center and doing a dumb little story. It was terrible. My interviews were horrible. But in the course of doing that, we somehow decided to throw wiffle balls on a speed pitch at the Science Center. And I've had the tape for 35 years.

I ran into Griffey a couple years ago in Seattle at the Sports Award Show, and he brought it up. He says, yeah, I was gonna mention you, but I didn't wanna bring up that stupid wiffle ball thing and in that moment I was like I'm gonna tell the story of what happened that one day in August of 1989 when he was a rookie I was 28 or 29 and and I've been Contending for all these years that I beat him by one mile per hour and I wanted to go back and find the truth Was I right was that wrong and it's the journey of discovery, there he is, 19 years old, throwing the ball.

Also a terrible, it wasn't calibrated, their little speed gun, look at that, that's gotta be 110 miles per hour and it got me like 50. But I found the truth eventually through this journey that took all of five shooting days. Okay, so five shooting days, you poured your heart into this documentary.

It is on FUBUU 8 p.m. Eastern Tonight Ken Griffey jr. Mean was saying right before you came on remember when it was a giant national controversy that Ken Griffey jr. Used to wear his baseball cap backward That was pretty stupid. Yeah, there were people that had a problem with that they also had a problem that Marshawn Lynch had tattoos and didn't like to talk to the media, but Yeah, people are stupid Sorry to interrupt the interview. It's going great. I love this whole conversation, but then you said the documentary Airs on FUBU that is a clothing line

FUBU is Oh, I'm sorry, that's my bad. That's a totally different thing. Love that dude on Shark Tank, though. It's a great disseminator of sports content. It's also available through Roku and their other platforms, Fubo, 8 p.m. Eastern. Whiffle Balls, 30 minutes. We need this movie right now in America.

We need this escape. Gretchen and I have shut off cable news. We're watching like the Today Show where they're talking about hot trends and Christmas wrapping paper. We're just down that lane right now. And this movie is escapism. Ken Burns is in it, the noted documentary.

We have the Wiffle Ball headquarters president is in it. We have a UW professor. You got old footage, you got new footage. There's music from the head and the heart. Pearl jam helped us out. This kid named Sam Lachow, a rapper in Seattle helped out. And I, am I shouting? I feel like I'm shouting.

No, I just love your lane as self-conscious TV guy. It's something that's delighted me for 30 years. Like, am I shouting? It's supposed to be an inner thought. Ha ha ha. I wasn't the worst dancer. I was one of the worst dancers, but not the worst. You could ask Master P and his followers.

They just voted him in because he's Master P and he's successful and he's a rapper. Nobody knew who the hell I was. I just took the money. They said, you want to be on Dancing with the Stars? I thought I was going to dance with a star. And it's like it's like no you're the star and I ruined that poor girl's career They never had her back either. Oh, no, I said, yeah, they never had her back once and rip I said, why don't we do something really simple, you know, just keep me in the box ready

No, no, no, we're gonna be ambitious and I was like chasing her around the room and throwing off moves and oh Well, that's over now. That was so long ago, the Seahawks were playing Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl that year. I wanna talk to you about some sports things including this Tyson, Jake Wallsley. I wanna talk about my goddamn movie that's on Fubo, not Fubu. Yeah, I'm gonna wear that one for a while.

Yeah, I'm gonna wear that one for a while. Right. That one hurts. We'll get back to your movie in a second because I think Whiffleball should be the new national pastime. But because I've admired how it is that you have made content for a long time, you're cleverly disguised as a jester, but I've always thought because of your sensibilities, you watch everything in sports with a wink but i've also thought you're one of the smartest guys doing it and so i wanted to add i wanted to ask you from from that context what it is that you do make of what's happening in

america right now is you hide in uh... in your bunker there and and watch you know christmas decoration shows all have a statement to make uh... soon after the inauguration, no I I was surprised disappointed. I hope they do less damage than I expect. But anyway for both tonight, 8 p.m. Eastern is we're going to see what the ball

and yeah, go team go America not only on food but also, but also on Rock-A-Ware. Oh no, excuse me, Roku. Thank you. You're like the fact, you got a real time fact checker right there. I need, America can use one. Also, which Super Bowl did you mean the Steelers

in the Cardinals Super Bowl? Steelers, Seahawks, Indy Troy, Stevie Wonder played before. The bus's last stop. That's Super Bowl. Oh, that was a good one. Passes you'll ever see. Yeah, we dropped like seven balls. There were a couple of bad calls. The rest were so bad.

It was an ugly game, but I got to interview Stevie Wonder. So and by the way, I was in Atlanta for the Stevie Wonder for Kamala event in Atlanta at State Farm. And then the Seahawks the very next day. That was October 19th and 20th. We were as high as a kite then. It was happening. Is it true? Is it true that Stevie can see? No, that you know what, I think he makes his own blind jokes, but that one, there have been incidents like how can he drum? How can he do it? Well, he's been around the instruments,

just like I used to be good at football. I could do stuff with a football without looking, right? Like you're so used to the equipment. So he can just reach over here and grab his harmonica or play the sticks or whatever. It was a good show. I can do some other concert reviews for you. Pearl Jam, both in Madison Square Garden and Fenway twice.

Really getting off topic here, but what was the question? Well, the question was, can Stevie Wonder see? Because the urban legend I heard is that someone that I know is working in a music studio. No, but Monty Jones makes a very convincing argument, famously, that Stevie Wonder can see. You wanna hear this story, hold on, hold on, you wanna hear this story. My on. I know you want to hear this story. My buddy was

walking through a music studio and saw Stevie Wonder at a snack machine trying to figure out what he wanted by himself. That to me is like, look, I'm not saying that he's got 20-20 vision, but maybe a little. He was just feeling the vibes of the potato chips and the crackers and whatnot that was in there and Determining which one his aura was drawn to what you know, that's what I think was happening that day Are there not there there aren't there's not Braille on vending machines Like what there should be Be expensive, but I'm not blind and did you ever see my

nephew and me for funny or die we did a thing called blind football announcer why are you laughing at my nephew no he's laughing at me he's not laughing at you he's laughing okay that's fine Troy can take it so Troy wanted to call a Seahawk game and for funny or die this is you know ten years ago we went to his real Seahawk game got a real booth and Troy was the announcer and I was the color guy, and he'd be like, Richard Sherman, I said, Troy, no, we're on offense. We're literally, we are on offense. Look it up, it's on the internet, blind football announcer.

I'm on it. All right. It's a lot of strange, quirky content that you could look up. Kenny Main, do you have, you have anything in your past that you look at and say this is the best of the strange that I have done? This is the proudest of the strange that represents my work? Well one I'm most proud of and it involves Stevie Wonder again, I got him this is the same year as the Seahawks Steelers Super Bowl and the baseball All-Star game was also in Detroit. Remember I used to play in those softball games?

And I went to Live 8, not Live Aid, but Live 8, they're trying to get the G8 to relieve African debt, if you guys remember that whole thing. And they had a big concert in Philadelphia. I went down there with no press pass. I kept on upgrading. I'm still shouting. And I got Stevie Wonder to say, I can't be at the baseball all-star game. I have a high ankle sprain.

That's the pinnacle. That's, I could have just walked away from that, but I still need to pay bills and so forth. So I kept in the game. Believe it or not, Kenny, there are a lot of blind football investors. How'd you find that? Oh, there it is. Okay. The video team, the video team is very good.

They're very quick. What? That was really good. Cause, the video team the video team. You know what good they're very quick What that was really good because we didn't talk about this before you had some other preloaded stuff and I got to hear during Your break how you guys put stuff together either. You're very relaxed and good at what you do You don't know what in the hell you're doing or you don't care. It's one of those Yes, yes, it's all of the, I don't know which one it is. Yes. Yes, it's all of those things. Yes, it's, and so we're throwing. Is that a fake candle? We're throwing up, is that a fake candle? It is a fake candle.

Kenny, you can't do better than a fake candle. Gretchen. Come on, Kenny. Gretchen. Kenny, what's going on? Kenny. Hold on, you wanna see our real candle? We just bought it, let's go.

Sure, I would love to see your real candle. Sure, let's see the real candle. Oh, we're on the move, look at this. Nice house right there. Touring house. Okay, so the audio listeners, We just bought it We're going through Kenny Maine's house, it's beautiful They were pissed about this candle. They thought it was beneath us. I mean, it is though. Oh, the fake one? I know, it's pretty bad. Sorry. I have a real one I can stick in there instead.

We're trying to save the environment. By buying fake candles made from plastic or something. Do you want a real candle? No, they're good. You welcome us into your home and now we just shame your decoration and make you feel guilty about the environment as well. That's excellent. You want to go outside where we can throw wiffle balls?

Let's do this. What do you want to do? You want to challenge our group here? Is that what we're doing? We've got a setup. I saw somebody setting up in the other room and it looked like it looked like a radar machine was was clocking things in the other room.

Are you are we in a time deadline? Isn't this the we could just go on forever, right? Well, well, no. I mean, yes. Okay, yes. Go ahead. Because I love this show. And I care about Fubo TV and my show, Wiffle Ball, and I have a Wiffle Ball, I always have one in my hand. This little thing, it's like a stress reliever, casino dice, it's like when I did Sports Center, I always had a pen or a dice or something,

and it's like a pacifier, I guess. So this time it's a Wiffle Ball, and I'm gonna go outside in my bare feet. It's 37 degrees, but we're doing it. And also, Gretchen made me switch shirts. What do you think of this? I should've worn this, right? Careful with that candle.

Careful with the camera, why? No, the candle. The candle, the candle, not the camera. You don't wanna catch anything on fire. You don't want anything to catch fire. That fabric looks flammable. We're going back. We're back on the move.

Yeah, we're going back through his house. Going left. Here we go. Go back to the left. So he's in his backyard, ladies and gentlemen. It's beautiful. Beautiful landscaping. There it is. Look at fall.

That's what it looks like, guys. He's mentally tougher than us. He sure is. All right. Did you show the clip where I went back? We never even talked about the stupid movie, did we? We really didn't. We just kind of like, I think we talked about 20.

No, what we didn't talk about is the state of America. You avoided that deftly. That's what we did. It wasn't time for that. It's not time. We can't do anything about it right now. That's a good point. A damn good point there.

You know what? He's got you there, man. You know what? You got me cornered, man. Okay, just throw a whiffle ball then. Let's laugh until fire fills the sky. Go ahead. Just waste our time.

Go ahead. Waste our time throwing a whiffle ball. In the movie, at the beginning, I tell the Dick Williams story. Remember Dick Williams, the crusty old manager, Oakland A's, and he was with the Mariners sure and I went up to him on day one I'm nervous reporter I'm like I was trying to do a joke out of the gate um Dick is it just me or if you had trouble purchasing wiffle ball equipment this spring and there was just utter death the worst day there ever and he goes I go you know the plastic bat thing the yellow I know what Wiffleball is.

Your jokes not funny. So then I transitioned to tell me about your middle relief. All right. I went to drive line baseball, Kent, Washington, where they train real athletes, baseball players, trying to top the number that I did with Griffey on inferior equipment. And by the way, it wasn't even a real wiffle ball. So I took a real wiffle ball,

went at my age 35 years later to try to beat my old number, and I did. The theory was it's a lighter ball and better equipment for judging it. So I challenge your young people who should be able to beat me, they're probably 30 years my junior, right? I'm like a senior citizen.

At least, Ken. 69. aren't you actually a senior citizen or is it 65 or 70 that's a senior citizen you know it hey podcasters it's Mike Ryan and let me tell you something the NBA's got a lot going for it right now bright young stars hitting the court teams playing exciting brands of basketball, and celebrities everywhere you look courtside.

Is this gonna run on Tuesday it better Why would you not interview me and then not run it on the same day?

Stupid nonsensical your eyes to guts. Why are you leaving? Why am I been doing this interview? I should be like on the live This is the down lebatard Show with the Stoogats! I threw 69, I thought I could get higher. I think your young people at 46 feet. It was Little League distance should be able to I'm going to throw one by just see here the whiff of all noise because this is fun. Let's see. Okay. Let's see if this works as audio because you're going to have to be accurate. Oh snap. You almost hit the camera. Okay. He almost hit the camera. It was it was very accurate. It was very fast. The audio wasn't exceptional There was a little bit there was speed on it. There was a whiff. What do you have a time?

That was 73. I don't believe you Where's the camera that shows us the measurement? The right smile kind of gave the game away. You know how hard it is? Cause I've done first pitches at baseball games several times and I still think I have a decent arm, not what it was 40 years ago. I couldn't even hit. I was like 68, 72 at best 73. Those pitchers, how they do it, the mechanics of it,

I'm still just mystified by it. Like how they get up in the 90s and over to 100. They're also 21 years old and 6'5, 240, but the only thing I can still do is throw a football like 40 and in, I'm still pretty good, but the elasticity is gone. I'm in my senior years. I'm not playing from the senior tees, though,

I'll tell you that much. We're way back at the whites or the blues. But you care so little about this particular competition that you're not gonna give us an honest time of what it is that you just threw? You're just making up the number 73? I have a radar gun at my house. Well, I thought we were doing something

for your documentary to promote it. I thought you were gonna put some effort documentary to promote it. I thought you were going to put some effort into this. To be fair Kenny, it is a really nice house. Sixty nine, terrible candles. Sixty nine is the number I hit last April, a year ago April. Sixty nine they got to try to beat. You got to throw it 40 feet or so toward the mound. They wanted me to come up with a prize. I have a highlight, two highlight sestas and a payload. I'm not giving those up. I have a swine wiffle ball from Ken Griffey Jr.

but it faded and you can't see the signature anymore but it's in a glass case. I have a champagne bottle from the Seahawks Championship when they beat Denver. I'm not giving that up either, I will do a personal voicemail to the winner because I'm so famous and I'll say, hey, this is Kenny Mayne, famous guy,

and so and so, whatever your name is, beat me at Wiffle Ball. And that'll be his or her outgoing message. That's the best we could come up with. Okay, a lot of effort and thought and ideas have been poured into this great competition. Let's go out into the other room here and see who we've got. We've got a Pop-Tart, we got Frankie from Security,

we got Roy, and we got Jessica out there. Willow is also out there, that's a dog. Is Roy gonna go first? Who's got the first? It appears Roy's going first, he's going right now. Roy prides himself on his arm wind up and the pitch That was hard 58 58 miles an hour that again warm up there are the pop tarts gonna go now

Okay, he says you're gonna be able to try again Now hasn't Jessica claimed to have a giant arm that can throw oranges a hundred yards Jessica claims to have a giant arm. She's out there on willow watch Now the pop tartTart throws. Ooh, the Pop-Tart, the costume was inhibiting. 59. 59. 59. Bad for a Pop-Tart.

Bad for a Pop-Tart. Roy, you're gonna get another shot at this. We're gonna go through a couple of times. I'm really hoping that Jessica throws something 104 miles an hour. All right, Roy's going here for the second throw. We'll wind up. And the pitch.

I think Roy needs more leg action. He's kind of, you're kind of not so not Roy. They're going normal pitching. Whereas like, can they do crow hops here? Like, could they do it as if they're outfield? No, no, no, no, no. I mean, we didn't go over that rule, but I thought it was a wind up.

No. What do you mean? Nope. You got in there and you started making rules aggressively all of a sudden. What do you mean you can't do a crow hop? Go ahead, Pop Tart. Do whatever you want, Pop-Tart. Wind up. This is gonna be 37.

Pop-Tart. 37. Pop-Tart deals. He's not very accurate. 57. Jeremy was a high school, like, all county pitcher too. Oh, that's Jeremy. The Pop-Tart. All right, let's.

They're only like 10 feet away from the couch. If I stood against my house and just three feet away, I think I'd get a bigger I think we're still getting 59s and not coming anywhere close to beating you here comes Jessica here she is about to throw again she says she can throw an orange 100 yards the length of a football field. Oh that was a good throw. 43 miles an hour. Again not enough leg action I feel like they're not using enough torque Dan. I feel like we should bail on the entirety of this if no one is gonna hit. Oh, now Chris Cody here.

Chris Cody. Physical challenge dude. Okay, he likes, let's see what we've got here. Oh, he's stretching, ladies and gentlemen. I didn't see anyone stretch. I didn't see the pop dart stretch for sure. This seems like a liability issue, too. There are a lot of people here who can hurt ligaments,

a rotator cuff, something can be caused here. Chris is about to throw the Whiffle Ball. This is the final throw. Oh, that was good. 60! 60 miles an hour. 60, so nowhere near where it is, can even, look at him, the smug, smug look of arrogance. Look how little effort.

Is it really only 10.06 Eastern like we've really only been on for 20 Some minutes that feels like two or three hours. You said you were gonna waste our time We just got 67 miles an hour from Chris Cody, but I think he hurt his hand and there it is Yeah, the liability issue I knew was coming Who was that? Is that Frankie? No, that's Roy. That's a sweaterless Roy. Roy took off his sweatshirt. My arm is killing me right now. I feel like Yannis after that.

What happened? We didn't even get a reading for that one from Roy. No, because- You should feel tingling all the way down your arm. I feel it in my wrist. My wrist is killing me. That's a good throw there. Pop tart was the problem.

So now it's 61 miles an hour. All of this- I'm gonna throw another one at my computer. Okay, what are we doing now? Yes, this is great radio. Now we're just wasting everybody's time. All right. The problem so now it's 61 miles an hour all of this throw another one in my computer What are we doing now? Yes, now we're just wasting everybody's time all right No one is having proper respect for what it is that we're doing around here Kenny thank you Still going guys hold on one talk about my next documentary. 8 p.m. Eastern on Fubo.

Fubo, the documentary is called Wiffle Ball. Thank you, Kenny. Good seeing you. Good talking to you. Always nice seeing your face. Thanks for the warm introduction. You're welcome. He's very strange and he's the worst contestant

in the history of Dancing with the Stars. Chris Cody's really hurt. Oh, I know he is I told you guys that that was a bad idea. Thank you Kenny. See you later. Thank you I mean I wanted to talk to you a little bit about what is happening tomorrow night between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul yes because I Said the other day when we were talking about this and I said it

matter-of-factly that I thought that the combination of streaming getting into live sports combined with fame and the currency of pop culture people are talking about you Jake Paul and Mike Tyson cover a wide swath swath of real estate on fame for four decades right because if Tyson's Tyson's been famous since he's 20 years old since he's 20 years old I think Paul's been famous for close to a decade and and so there's a lot of, so somebody now beats Jeremy Maine, not useful. Now Kenny Maine throws 72 miles an hour. 72? I got up to 65.

No one has proof of that. I thought you were Frankie before. That's what he said. What? When you took off your hoodie and I thought you were Frankie because you were far away from the camera. I didn't want to call Dan out on that, but he has now since revealed himself to be racist. If I had said that.

You've known me for 20 years. I know, it's my glasses. Don't take it for 10. There's no freaking pretend. I don't see color. I hurt my elbow a little. Yeah, it seemed like a terrible idea. I need Tommy John.

I didn't warm up, it was bad. But 43, not bad for someone that's never thrown a wiffle ball before. A terrible idea, poorly executed because there were injuries and we didn't get the payoff because Jeremy shot. Jeremy didn't throw at 72 miles an hour until we were off air and Kenny Maine was gone. Now Rose is going.

Rose, very half-hearted. 15 miles an hour. I don't really want to do any more play-by-play of that room you guys can stop going to that room whenever it is that you want because I'm doing about ten times too many already that was really fun though and yeah I know it's fun so fun that when Chris Cody ran back in here forgot we were live forgot we still had show to do just came in dancing because he threw a ball hard and forgot that he had a job to do and

hurt his arm on top of that so Jake Jake Paul and Mike Tyson huh? Yes well the thing that I wanted to ask you because I said it flippantly last week is I think that will do bigger numbers than Tom Brady's Rose. Tom Brady's Rose was the biggest thing that Netflix has had in comedy they don't release exact numbers but Netflix was very happy with that foray into live streaming and the future as we all know of money in this business a business is changing rapidly by the way like changing in enormous ways where it seems like amazon and netflix are just gonna buy everything up and they're gonna be in control of content for a while netflix is getting into the game

with a friday night event that is going to have i think more talk in publicity around it than when chris rock went live and they're trying to change live in streaming and comedy there and the tom brady roast where they're going live on content i think this has the chance to be the biggest live thing that netflix has done just because of how

many people it could get into the tent with just what is this circus act it has next to nothing to do with boxing but I don't want to spend too much time either mocking it or even analyzing the character of the two people doing this to make all this money but as as the apocalypse happens all around us and we try to dismantle the government, this is the perfect spectacle for the stupidity of our times, like to throw this in Jerry World and just say, sure, let's everybody gather around the TV

and empty our head with empty calories. Well, I think, well, first of all, I think it's gonna do bigger than the Brady roast for the simple reason that you have their steaks here. The steaks are, one, how many people want to see Jake Paul just get punched in the face really, really hard, and two is, alright, what is the definition of the upper limit on age for an athlete? Because beyond the people who wanna see Jake Paul get knocked out, myself included, there is a curiosity.

It's like, okay, Mike Tyson, the most feared man on the planet, is he still that at 58? Should we still fear him in that same way? I'm of the belief, having been face to face, eye to eye with Mike Tyson in a less than friendly environment That that never fades it never goes away. He's always gonna be terrifying wait you you what what happened with you Mike?

I've told the story. I'm not familiar. Okay, initiated all right. So really catch me up briefly all right So I'm walking through a bar in Scottsdale, Arizona And it's really packed and as you're walking past the bar, there are people leaving the bar turning around with drinks, right? So as I'm squeezing by just trying to get through to the back, someone turns with their drinks, I bump into them, the drink splashes, it splashes all over Mike Tyson.

He turns around and this once packed bar all of a sudden is deserted. It's like the Wild West and it's just me and him and everyone's about 100 feet back. And I'm staring at him and he's staring at me and he's short. That's a lot of people realize he's he's not a tall guy Yeah, Jake Paul's bigger. I'm big. I'm tall short. Are we talking? I'm taller than Mike Tyson. He's about 510 I think not five not five ten. No one's five ten I'm looking at him. I thought no one's 5'11", I thought. I thought no one's 5'11".

Some people are 5'11". I don't trust 5'10". You think he's not 5'10"? He's not 5'10", for sure. What is he listed at, Roy, please? 5'10". Terrifying. And I think like Jake Paul's up to close to 2'40' now. We walked, when we did Mass Vegas.

Feet tall? No. When we did Mass Vegas, I walked past Jake Paul, who was at the hotel that we were at, and I was stunned at how big this guy was. I did not know that. He's bigger than me. So he's splashed with the drink. I'm looking at him, and the black lights in the bar

are making his tattoo, which at this point was still pretty new, glow. What a gnarly visual. Oh my god. and he's furious. There's no part of this, and it's clear in my face, like I didn't do it, but it's like, he's looking at me like I just said, hey asshole. And I just doused him with a drink.

So he's looking at me and I'm looking at him, he's looking at me and I'm looking at him, and I'm like, what do I do, what do I say, what do I do? And somewhere in the back of my mind, somebody said, I mean mean Mike Tyson converted to Islam so I say salaam alaikum brother and he grabs me by my forearm and pulls me in real close real sharply and his Mouth is right by my ear and he says alaikum salaam and I thought he was gonna bite my ear off

I really did. And then he released me and I scurried away. And the next time I saw Mike Tyson was two years later when my buddy said, hey, we're going to a New Year's party in Vegas. Come to this address. I go, I ring the doorbell and it's Mike Tyson. How do you have multiple Mike Tyson? I have another one.

He's just in Arizona all the time? When I was seven years old, I met Mike Tyson. It's crazy. I've met Mike Tyson like four or five times in my life. Every time has been a wildly different experience and there's never a point in this where there's any recognition, not that he should, but you think he should remember his encounters with you?

Didn't I meet you when you were seven? Yeah, you look like a kid I knew once upon a time. I want to talk about the history of Mike Tyson, but as it applies specifically to the fight that you're going to be watching, the sports of it. Can you guys get for me, I'd asked the production team to find the audio of Mike Tyson's last actual fight, not the one against Roy Jones Jr.,

but the last fight of his career where he fought a person who was a really mediocre boxer, a boxer that was a professional, but was not in any way any good, and Mike Tyson embarrassed himself. It was a shell of the person that people have been watching for twenty years even the one who lost a buster tugless douglas

didn't look like this i don't know if we have the right sound of that uh... interview but let me hear that interview and do me the favor of finding me the name of the opponent some of the information about the opponent and when that fight was cuz i think this is about fifteen years ago or something like that mike tyson telling you he doesn't have the stomach for any of this did you want to continue well i could continue that's what i would be in the on our life

i don't think i have been in market i got the ability to stay in shape and i don't have to fight when did you recognize that at what part of the fight i don't think anymore. When did you recognize that? At what part of the fight? I don't know. Early into the fight. I'm just sorry I let everybody down. I don't have this in my heart anymore. Did you feel as though you had it coming into the fight?

No, I'm just fighting to take care of my bills, basically. I don't have the stomach for this kind of no more. I'm more conscious of my children and those guys looking at my parents. I don't have the stomach for this kind of a little i guess i'm more come on content my children and those guys looking at my parents and i'm just i don't have i have the ferocity i'm not an animal anymore does that mean we won't see you fighting in here most likely i'm not going to fight in

i'm not going to this is not going to disrespect the sporting my bike moving this kind of a fighter okay and what he said at the end this caliber of fighter it was shocking to watch that which was mike tyson taking a beating the entirety of a fight against somebody who stunk that was s nineteen years ago nineteen years ago that's mike tyson talking

about losing badly to a mediocre fighter and so i don't think this will tell us about anything about jake paul as a fighter but i'm genuinely curious about whether j whether Jake Paul can just take a barrage from Mike Tyson. There are different rules for this fight than the normal fight. The gloves are more gentle than normal gloves. The rounds are shorter. There are fewer rounds for this fight than a normal fight. But you guys think you're going to see what? Because the betting money keeps coming in on Jake Paul, correct? Dude, Mike Tyson had to stop camp

because his body was giving out on him. And there's all sort of ambiguity surrounding the health episode that he had in camp. He's an older man. And Jake Paul is in prime physical condition. He just needs to run around for a little bit and Mike Tyson's going to be tired. Seasons Greetings, podcast audience, it's Mike Ryan
