You know, I saw some of your, what I see that you posted, the Patriots, you know, or the Steelers,

they had their one biggest, they got rid of all their problems, but their one biggest problem they didn't get rid of was the Patriots. It was marvelous. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now, the mandate you're listening to is a three-time three-time three-time super bowl champion an entrepreneur an incredible broadcaster he's got his own podcast he's live on the radio and he called the cardinals lions tie ball game this past weekend i believe was that your voice yes that was my voice my friend

came this past weekend i believe was that your voice yes that was my voice my friend ladies and gentlemen you've seen him on a couple soap operas he's been on ballers and i can't wait to hear his brain spew all over the waves right now ladies and gentlemen mark schlereth that a boy mark yes thank you it's always a pleasure i really do enjoy your brain. You're an old school guy, but you have a way with words that you can explain things. I was intrigued about speaking with you today about the Antonio Brown situation. Just because I think you probably have an incredible take on it. Was he a complete mastermind that got his way out of Pittsburgh over to Oakland strictly so he could get to the patriots without the patriots having to go through the steelers exactly you know what i think about think about this guy

because i was you know i'm one of those guys that looked at it like okay what a turd right that's my first inclination but i'm like maybe you're just smarter than the rest of us because you got yourself out of a situation you didn't want to be in um you basically did that through orchestrating that through your own social media and hired social media consultants to get that done which is crazy to me and then i saw something on twitter last night that made me laugh out loud it was think about it he's perfect fit and patriot they both take people illegally i mean this guy he's done such an unbelievable job uh sounds like there's a little bias against the patriots there from mark schlareth and the rest

of america i thought about that last night watching that game antonio brown got himself out of the situation in pittsburgh it was all going great best wide receiver in the league paid him good kickoff return a good punt returner and then ben spoke out against him publicly and everything turned a lot of people say well the vante's perfect hit is when he changed i think what happens is when you have that big of a chip on your shoulder whenever you say you know what them i'm done with them that's forever and i think he got like that with roethlisberger and there was no way coming back from it he's like okay I got to get out of here so he gets himself out of that situation it's a massive ordeal a massive scene he gets over to Oakland and I said this last week on the show I honestly believe he was going to go all in with

the Raiders I think he was like excited to be there here we go we got a whole new start something happened over there where he was like this ain't it and he was like I got to get out of here him hiring a social media consultant and a YouTube editor to get out of that situation is one of the most historically legendary things in professional football history i'd assume but when he gets to the patriots tom brady and giselle are basically adopting antonio brown he's living in their house the patriots last night looked unstoppable we don't know if the Steelers secondary just decided to take the whole game off and say you know what it let Tom do whatever he wants but that Patriots team if Antonio Brown can buy into the TB12 treatment in the Patriot way somehow they're only going to get better and better through this whole thing

Antonio Brown might be the perfect fit not only for the taping of opponents thing but for everything else yeah you know what's interesting about this is this is like the band U2, with or without you. The Patriots are going to be good with you or without you. We're going to win a championship. So do you want to be a part of the championship or do you not want to be a part of the championship? One thing that I think is interesting is Tom Brady has always allowed himself

to be coached hard. He's given permission for the organization to get after him. So if you can get after Tom Brady has always allowed himself to be coached hard. He's given permission for the organization to get after him. So if you can get after Tom Brady, you're going to get after anybody. This is the most disciplined team in football. Defensively, offensively, special teams. Their execution is above anybody else in the league. And so you come into a situation going, you know what you're into. You either toe the company line what you're into. You either

toe the company line or you don't. The beauty of the New England Patriots, think about this offensively, it's not about what we do, right? We don't have a system. Our system is not having a system. It's about what you don't do. We don't play to our strengths. We play to your weaknesses. We attack your weaknesses. And there's going to be a point in time in the season where our running backs are going to rush for 240 yards and you're going to get three targets. And if you're not good with that, guess what? We won't address you because we don't need you. This is the first time in his career where he's not needed. So maybe just that fact alone helps it work out for Antonio Brown. I don't know because I've always felt like he's a guy that, hey, he doesn't care about winning or losing. As long as he gets his 11 targets,

he's fine, right? But this may be the one time where he sees himself with an opportunity to win a championship or a one-year deal, and then he can go out and do whatever he wants after that. But I don't know. This may be the perfect match match the thought of him having to sit back and watch the offense just complete completely compete without him even touching the ball it's funny to think about how that's all going to go because if somebody was to yell at antonio brown in the past if he felt jaded he was going to lash out irrationally that's what he was going to do he's going to lash out irrationally now he is going gonna have to fully commit I'll be excited to see if he does it. Let's move forward Tom Brady by the way, he's only getting better

He's only getting better right now by the way like how ridiculously handsome is he? Dude, I just every time I see him. I want to nestle up in that cleft in his chair Every time I see him, I want to nestle up in that cleft in his chin, just like a hammock, you know? Just take a nap in there. Just let me get in there for a minute. How about the eye black, too, that he puts on perfectly every day? It's like a movie character.

He's like a movie character. He is. It's ridiculous. The guy is just, I've got a restraining order, or he has a restraining order, I guess I should say, against me, because I really have an unhealthy obsession against me. Because I just am, I'm such, I really have an unhealthy obsession with the guy. I do. Well, Tom Brady, to your point,

Vinatieri told me that there's been team meetings where Tom got, after a win, where Tom got chewed out by Belichick in front of the entire team. And I think that goes a long way in showing that anybody can get it, and hopefully Antonio Brown can handle it. Let's move's move forward yeah you know what one last thing on that i came to a realization so i've done some uh consulting i consulted for the the saints this off season and i came to the realization the reason jimmy garoppolo is not there is they probably had some type of handsome off and and jimmy garoppolo came close to beating tom brady and the handsome off and he just had him excommunicated and i thought to myself you

know what i probably could not coach for the for the new england page i'm too handsome i get there i've been there for like three weeks and i get sent away i'm like what happened i was doing a hell of a job coaching. Yeah, you threatened Tom Brady in the hands of mom. He had you excommunicated from the organization. He had his dad, Robert Kraft, send you out of town. Julian Edelman has had quite a glow up since going

up there. A couple dating a couple models, got that big beard in there. But you're right, Jimmy. He's got to grow the beard because he's a handsome guy like look at danny amadola's gone right damian danny amadola's a handsome guy get the hell out of here either grow a beard or get the hell out right so he just basically said hey julian you want to hang around you're good looking guy grow an ugly beard or out. Tom Brady's only weakness is that he has a sense of... His kryptonite is handsome dudes.

He doesn't want any of them around him. You want to look really good? Hang around ugly people. That's easy in the NFL. There's tons of ugly guys on NFL teams. Tons of them. Oh, Mark. That is classic. Antonio Brown, handsome guy call god got the big smile can't wait to see what he's already but he already meets one of the criteria he's got that

messed up haircut like you know a guy doesn't care look at that hair come on he doesn't care about nothing that guy literally nothing the recorded conversation with gruden immediately being flipped into a youtube video is just the the greatest lack of to ever be given right yeah i mean how do you do it you've had that pre-produced you're like all we need is gruden to call that's all we may have that for all i know it For all I know, it was Frank Caliendo. He goes, screw it. We can't get Gruden on the phone. Get Frank on the phone. Have to say this.

Boom. We're done. Like, I'm out of here. I'll tell you what, man. That's what Caliendo said. Yeah. Let's move outside there. Patriots are going to be unbelievable.

You got a chance to call a tie yesterday. A freaking tie. We can talk about Kyler Murrayray and cliff kingsbury turning in on late aq shipley starting center captain leading the way there got a solo shot on national tv of him celebrating yelling with his uh tats all over him from moon township pittsburgh pennsylvania we can talk about the lions being up 17 and letting it all happen and go to overtime and we'll get your thoughts on the game. I pitched this earlier as my overtime fix so that there are no ties

because ties aren't supposed to be in our game, Mark. Here's my pitch. Tell me why I'm wrong, okay? Okay. On one end of the field, Detroit Lions offense, Matty Stafford taking on thezona cardinals defense and two-point play on the other side you got kyler murray in the offense taking on the detroit lions defense on a two-point play back and forth shootout style mike florio pitches back and forth shootout style

if they make it in they don't it's over they make it in they make it in we go to another round if it is tied after five rounds bring the kickers out spotlight big intro like it's wrestling music smoke coming from their feet they get out there and they have to kick from the same spot with both teams as a gallery like in golf okay if they if they both make it you back up five yards they both make it you back up five more yards until one of them miss one of them make that's a win count it just as much as a win in regulation let's get this place electric couldn't even fathom the gambling that you could do on that now the gambling's getting legal why am i wrong uh i don't i don't know that you're wrong i mean the tie just felt like so anticlimactic.

You know, I get the – hey, if you want to do the way that it's done right now, I kind of like the two-point plays. Go two-point, two-point, you know, it's almost like a hockey shootout, right? Yes. Kind of like that. But only you would bring in the kickers. We need the punters in there involved as well. How are we going to get the punters?

Because I saw the breakdown of the punt that won the game, and it was tremendous, right? I saw the breakdown. Did you feel like you learned something about punting there? I did. You know what? I was at the University of Idaho. This is no lie. And one of our punters, we had

the world's, we used to call him the best practice punter in the nation. This guy could just root a ball in practice 70 yards every freaking time he couldn't punt worth a shit when it came down to game time right so we have this punt off and our coaches it was dennis eric she goes anybody here can punt i'm an offensive woman i go oh yeah i can punt so i went mano a mano i ended up losing um i went mano a mano but I was almost the punter for the University of Idaho. How about that? Hey, was that pun off absolutely electric, I bet?

It was one of the most electric points of my career, of course. I never caught a pass. I never ran the ball. The pun off for me was like that was the number one thing I think I've ever done. It was the only time anybody actually watched me, right? And like that something was announced where they weren't dog cussing me because I got a holding call, right? Holding 69 or something.

It was the only time that they were actually applauding me for doing something on the football field. Don't you think that's interesting, though? Because you're out there 60, 70 plays a game. Punter's out there five, six times maybe. If he's holding, probably eight, nine times. But whenever the punter or kicker is out there, it is literally all eyes on you.

It doesn't even matter about the snapper. Snapper isn't even being talked about. He's a pretty vital part of the whole thing. Holder, don't mess it up. But the kick kicker everybody can watch and see if he succeeds or not for an offensive lineman it's such a task of the group that you don't really get singled out until team meetings we get a big ass laser pointer on you just circling right yeah every single move it's kind of an interesting thing that the offensive line doesn't really get talked about until something terrible happens or there's a penalty there's no real positiveness until the team meeting the next day right no i

always said that this is why this is the difference between offensive linemen and defensive linemen like i can whip your ass 65 plays in a row right third down to 12 critical moment of the game i get a holding call or i give up a sack and i'm the schlub who gave up the sack, and you know what you get to do? You get to go to the Pro Bowl. Like, defensive linemen don't even think about the game. Like, offensive linemen are completely motivated out of fear and paranoia. Nothing good can happen during a football game. There is nothing good.

It is absolute shit. So you just want to live in anonymity. Nothing good can happen for you. Defensive linemen, I mean, I play with guys who get their ass whipped in a game and come in the locker room the next day because they got one freaking charity sack and act like they won the game.

They're completely oblivious to the real game going on. And I'm like, dude, you got one garbage sack and you're prancing around like you did something last night. They couldn't wash your jersey. There were so many grass tanks on the back of your jersey. They had to ship it out and get a new one.

And yet you're celebrating the locker room like you did something. Defensive linemen, they don't even live in reality. I can't stand them. You know the funniest thing? Think about the funniest thing about a defensive lineman. You can have a quarterback get tripped, right? You want to see a defense, you want to see just four guys

fighting. A quarterback gets tripped up by the offensive guard and he falls on the ground, you watch the speed those guys are jumping over the pile to see if you can tag him first because that's a sack, right? They're just diving over piles like, I mean, they're fighting each other to dive over a

damn pile to get that garbage sack that's defensive lineman for he can't stand those sons of bitches i'll tell you this right now that was offensive lineman porn right there when he just did there's gonna be so many offensive linemen that were like thank god stink said it i mean we've been taking it this whole time uh you got to respect their hustle though man they get one sack a game they get beat 99 of the game they're going to the pro bowl hall of fame everything for the rest of their life yeah yeah that's it that's just the way it is that's why it's unfair well you obviously did an incredible job at the offensive line position uh three super bowls you played forever a couple

different teams how do you feel the new game of football is because listen lamar jackson and the ravens are supposed to be a ground-and-pound offense, and instead he was throwing balls on the dime, but it does feel as if there might be a shift back towards power football, potentially, because teams are getting set up for speed right now. There's always like a cycle. Do you see that happening, or do you see the game opening up even more in the next couple years? Well, you know, it's interesting because if you

open it if you continue to open it up you know the one thing you have to do is you have to protect the guy that you're paying 100 million dollars to and one of the ways you can protect that guy is by playing a little smash mouth is by slowing those defensive linemen down making them respect to play action game and all that stuff so it part of it. I think one of the interesting things, the way the league is constructed right now, is so many of these college teams just air it out. It's all spread. It's all air-raid. They're not developing a skill set for most of these offensive linemen.

And as I travel around the league calling games, one thing that most general managers will talk to me about is, what would you do in order to teach our offensive linemen how to play? Because I've been told by multiple general managers, you think it's tough to coach up the quarterbacks in this league. The offensive line, that's been the biggest disappointment. It's the thinnest. There's a dearth of guys who can play that position because they're not being developed in college. And so it's an epidemic. And then you get into the NFL and you don't get to practice. You don't get to have pads on. You don't get to do the things that's required. I mean, there's no greater skill in the NFL than moving a man from

point A to point B against his will. Two guys that are incredibly strong, that are all 300 pounds, you know, that's a skill. And it starts from footwork and it starts from you know driving through your feet into your knees to your hips through your hands and if you can't do it um which most guys can't uh you're in you're in trouble especially against the superior apps i always i look at it like this you know they're everybody's a gifted athlete no offensive linemen are gifted athletes but if the athletes that are on a football field were by far the last rung on the ladder. Pat, think about this. I have seen a cornerback move to safety.

I've seen a safety move to linebacker. I've seen a linebacker move to defensive end. I've seen a defensive end move to defense tackle. I've seen a defense tackle move to offensive line. Offensive line is the last rung on the ladder. You go from offensive line, you go to fan. That's it. You don't go anywhere else.

You don't go, hey, you know, I was playing guard, but I think what I'm going to do is lose 12 pounds and go to linebacker. That doesn't happen. You can't do that. You go O-line, fan. That's it. You're sitting in the stands. You're back.

That's the way it works hey mark that was incredible that's well you know that was absolutely incredible what you just did there do you think this is potentially and i'm setting you up to be an old man yelling in your front yard here yeah do you think the younger mindset generation of the offensive line is not a glorious position it is a position where you have to sacrifice all the hype for somebody else to be better you have to go to hand-to-hand combat and grit and everything like that it doesn't lend itself to a guy like me or a lot of people that are kind of growing up now because everything's coming a lot easier via technology and all that stuff

do you think it's going to be a problem going forward because of the mindset of future generations i you know i don't i don't think so because again you know there if you really have a desire to play in the nfl i mean there's this there's this kind of peter principle aspect to your athleticism you know we're all touched by the hand of god athletically, right? I mean, you don't play in the NFL unless you have been touched by the hand of God. You've been, you know, gifted as a great athlete. And then the other thing is you also have to be, you know, you also have to have a little bit of a loose screw. So you got to be a little crazy and exceptionally athletic. But, you know, you rise to the level of your incompetence, kind of the Peter Principle aspect.

There comes a time when you come to a realization that the only way you're going to keep that dream alive is by putting your hand in the dirt. You're like, yeah, I'm kind of looking at my skill set. Yeah, I was really good in high school and I played both ways. And then as college came along, I started on the defense side of the ball and then I moved to the opposite side of the ball. And at some point, you're just like, well, here's where I'm at. Like, if I want to make this dream a reality, this is the position I have to play. So I still

think there's enough of those guys that love that camaraderie. You know, I mean, I always say the greatest thing about playing offensive line was being in that offensive line meeting room Monday after a game where guys are fighting to take responsibility for mistakes that were made you know and it's it's five guys from different areas of the country that all have to kind of become one unit and um it's it's a special room um by a bunch of by a bunch of like just incredible people so I just have a great affinity for it obviously and i just i just don't think that's going to change i think there's going to still be people that want to play that position mostly because they were forced to play that position because they're kind of the fat kid

mostly hey that was incredible breakdown right there i'm yeah yeah you just hey speaking of hands of god you spit some gospel there oh you know hey we're on in italy by the way so the pope might be watching so i appreciate that god plug you're helping us out yeah you're really um what you do with the saints you said you consulted with the saints are you talking about pass interference penalties or like what was going on no no they brought me in to talk about um i think one of the things that's tough about coaching in the NFL right now is nuance. You don't get to practice very often. You don't get to practice in pads very often.

And so what's been lost is nuance. So they brought me in, and we went through their entire offense, their running game, their passing game. They were like, all right, here we go. We want to run you know wide zone handoff 18 19 handoff okay tell me what we you would do against a two eye a two technique a three technique a four technique a four eye technique um how would you operate the bubble what do you do as a center what you like your combinations and all that kind of stuff so we went through every scenario that you would face as an offensive lineman

versus every defense and just footwork, hand placement, hat placement, and what I'm thinking on every block. And so we did that through their whole running game and through their whole pass protection game and just worked through every particular scenario. And it was fascinating. At the end of the day, I probably got them to change seven techniques that they were coaching, seven or eight techniques that they've been coaching

over the last however many years. Hopefully they play well tonight because, you know, then I can – like, here's the deal. If they play well tonight, I want you to talk about this. If they play like crap up front tonight, then disregard this statement. Because those sons of bitches just wouldn't listen to me. That's what we're going to go with. Drew Braze just gets pummeled in the first quarter.

Right. Boom, boom, boom, boom. That's incredible. Who's in the room? Like, Sean, everybody's in the room with you there? Offensive coordinator to a degree. degree kind of popped in and out. The O-line coach, the assistant O-line coach, the tight end coach. Yeah, there was, you know, you just kind of went through it.

Yeah, it was really – it's one of the coolest things I've gotten to do because I've always had kind of this itch, and I've had, you know, a lot of opportunities to leave TV and go coach. But frankly, I just don't want to take a pay cut is my thing. I know, like, Pat, making it has never been a problem for me. It's retaining it that I've had a tough time. The retaining part of it is the tough part. Yeah, you can get the money.

You just can't keep the money. Absolutely. Yeah, I enjoy life as well. I understand what you're saying. I have a bunch of my boys here. They probably have some questions. Do you mind if they ask you a couple questions? No, please.

By all means. Good man. Mark, you're a giant man who's very good looking. Yep. True. That's all true. Keep going. Hollywood offers.

Have you been in movies? Do you get a lot of them? I've been in one movie. I'm surprised you haven't seen it. The remake of Red Dawn. Oh, I saw it. Where I was Coach Dolan. surprised you haven't seen it, the remake of Red Dawn where I was Coach Dolan.

I'm surprised they haven't made Red Dawn 3, The Rise of Coach Dolan. I've been waiting for the trip, but it has not come my way. Yeah, you know, it turns out it turns out, I mean,

I'm not really a good actor. I've gotten opportunities to do it because, exactly what you said, I'm big and I'm not really a good actor. I've gotten opportunities to do it because I'm exactly what you said. I'm big and I'm incredibly handsome. And so that's why I've gotten the opportunities. But, yeah, I'm not what you would call good at acting. Yeah, that's not really what I do. You were on soap operas.

Weren't you on soap operas? You were on Ballers? Well, here's the soap opera deal, Pat. Okay, so I was on The Guiding Light. I was on The Guiding Light for two seasons. Okay. I had a recurring role for two seasons. Now, listen to the...

Wait, wait, wait. The Guiding Light started on radio. Then it transferred to television. That damn show was on for 72 years. It took me two seasons of recurring roles to get it knocked off air permanently. I mean, I was there for two years. It took me two seasons of recurring roles to get it knocked off air permanently. I was there for two seasons. I did 15 shows and that

shit got cancelled. I probably right now, I'm on a hit list of all the people that were on there for 20 years. I will probably be murdered because of my time spent on The Guiding Light light there's so many people angry with me right now like that's some

bitch got the gravy train killed right there oh my god the thought of you after the show gets cancelled laying down at night in bed honey you think that's because of fucking me it's a hilarious thought thank you so much

we interrupt this incredible conversation with the attractive Days of Art. Nope, Guiding Light actor. That's how it was, Guiding Light. Hey, he is a handsome guy. He's just starting to open up. These stories that are about to roll into your ears, by the way, you should be very excited for.

Oh, yeah. Todd, did you know all this about Mark Schlereth? I knew nothing about it, except I was a big fan back when he was on The Guiding Light. Yeah, I was a big fan as well. I didn't really know him from football. I didn't know he played football. I just knew he was an incredible soap opera actor.

And now you know that because of him, a show that was on for 72 years got canceled. So, I mean, that's something you take to the bank. Schlereth is incredible. You know who else is incredible, Petro? Tell me. Last and longer in a sack. Yeah. You guys have sex.

I can't argue with that either. You guys have sex in England? Yes. That's awesome. You fancy a good shag? Give it 10. Sorry. We interrupted this incredible Mark Schlereth interview,

story of my life Back to Mark Schlaireth. This next guy is an Italian guy, Degenerate Diggs. Mr. Stink, Pat put out a funny video yesterday about this. I want to know if you saw that, but also your thoughts on Sweezy sacking Kyler Murray yesterday. Oh, please. It is great, right? It was just awesome.

I'm sitting there calling. I've never seen that. He tried to leap. First off, he's 6'5", you know, 3'13", and he's just a strand of muscle, right? I mean, it's just like that guy doesn't have hamstrings. He has ham cords. That's how thick he is. And he jumped.

He must have gotten about four inches off the ground. And he still almost. He only got four inches. He almost cleared. He almost cleared. That's how short. I didn't even think about it. That's how short that little dude is, right?

Kyler Murray. It was great. Four-inch vertical almost cleared his whole head. You're not looking at it like. You're not turning around like tom brady and thinking he could jump over him you know you're not turning around like you see in sweezy's head there was a real thought like i can get up over that right at one point he was like what was the uh what was the inspector gad he's like go go gadget

legs you know he's just leaping right over him that'd be awesome you said you had a follow-up no no that's awesome next guy's name's frank just got a haircut shaved his beard all pretty happy about it just trying to look as handsome as uh mr slareth here that's mark uh you mentioned your time on the guiding light you didn't mention your character's name detective rock hoover oh you also were on Ballers. Did you meet The Rock? Was the character inspired by The Rock?

Are you buddies with The Rock? Yes, I did meet The Rock. I am buddies with The Rock. I'll tell you a great story. I used to show up to the Broncos training facility every day. I was always the first guy in the facility when I played. Like 5 a.m i'd walk in because i had about two and a half hours of rehab before i started watching film um not

drug rehab injury so i would always the first thing i would always do is i'd go get a cup of coffee in the training room and as i poured my cup of coffee i always read this plaque that hung on the wall and this plaque is an anonymous quote i I read it every day. And it says this, you can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who could do nothing for him. And I've always aspired to be that person. I've always wanted to care for people. I always wanted to love people. I always want to have time for people. I always, I just have always been kind of wired that way. And it was something that was always really important to me and still is to this day. As I travel around this great country of ours and I get an opportunity to call games, talk about football. And a lot of people have football questions and I love to sit and talk with people.

I'm on the set with The Rock and I've met him and he's gracious and he knows everybody's name and the cameraman and everybody behind the scenes. And we're filming this scene. And we've got this kid that runs a 40 on the beach. And then he gets excited because he runs a great time and he's running around. He's doing backflips off the boat and he runs up this tree and does a backflip off this palm tree. And we're all standing around watching this kind of transpires. This stunt man is doing all this stuff. And we're fascinated because he's just doing all kinds of, you know,

just all kinds of ridiculous looking stunts. And all of a sudden, Dwayne comes bebopping down the way, you know, he's getting ready to shoot, you know, and he's got his calls in five minutes. So he's bebopping down there. We're all gathered around watching this. He watches this kid do a couple of backflips and do all this stuff and he stops the whole production walks up and says hey man i'm duane johnson and the kid's like yeah i i know tell me about yourself what's your name how'd you get into this and he spends like 10 minutes

talking to this kid thanks for being here here, man. This is fascinating. Unbelievable. And meanwhile, I'm sitting there going, I watched the kid warm up for 15 minutes. I didn't say shit. I was like, here's Dwayne Johnson genuinely connecting with this individual. And that kid will carry that story

for the rest of his life. Right? And I'm like, you could have, not that I'm Dwayne, but you should have interacted. You should have asked. You should have done those things. That's who he is. He is one of the most gracious, kindest individuals, and he's just a wonderful human being, man.

He's one of the nicest people on earth. I'm happy to hear that, by the way. I'm very happy to hear that because he's the biggest star on the planet. I mean, his own production company I think they just netted five hundred million dollars on the Hobbs and Shaw worldwide off a movie He created an old thing. I mean he made five hundred million dollars in like four weeks And he's still great That's great to hear because he's the biggest star on planet Earth right now and he is also a very large attractive man

Much like yourself It's a good point you know although although he doesn't have this head of lettuce because look at this thing right here i mean you're either listen you're either born with this or you're not like there ain't nothing you can do right i mean you talk about touched by the hand of god look at it i mean by the hand of god look at it i mean right come on once again the pope is very thankful or not i don't know uh you do look great mark oh thank you i appreciate it and i you know what and by the way i am freaking yoked i mean i am let's go as the day is long. I tell you, the other day, I guarantee you, the other day I laid down on a bench press 225, did it 36 reps,

and just racked it and was like, what else am I going to do for the rest of the day? Like, I walk up to people who are working out. They got like 185 on them and go, hey, when you're done fucking around, can I have that bench? You know what I mean? Right? Like, seriously, when you're done fucking around, can I have that, man? You know what I mean? Right? Like, seriously. What are you doing here? You're wasting

my time. I'm thinking about opening a gym, Pat. Here's my concept. My gym's gonna be called Uppers. That's it. Uppers. And people are gonna come in and go, I'm gonna go like, hey, here. Over there's a bench press. There's a bench press. There's a bench press over there. There you can see another bench press.

There's an incline press. Somebody's going to go, hey, what about a squat rack? I'm going to go, get the hell out of my gym. This is awkward. Can you not read? We don't do legs here. Oh, my God. Absolute meathead.

Mark, are you just going into public gyms over there in Denver and just punking these little kids that are high off their boots in Denver, Colorado? Yeah. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I just roll in there and just throw up ridiculous amounts of weight, just walk out like it's nothing. Like, hey, hey, just something I do on the weekends, boys. That's it.

How often are you lifting? I go, I don't know, once a week, maybe never. It doesn't matter. I'm just naturally built like this. I like to ruin kids' dreams. I just ruin their life. They walk in, they're really working hard on something. I just walk in and rep it like 17 times.

I'm like, oh, that's easy. One of the things I love to do is go, hey, can I work in with you? What are you doing? They're like, oh, man, I'm doing this bench. And then they're struggling for two reps, and I do it 20 times. They go, I'm too easy. I'm going to go. And I just leave, you know.

It's absolutely ruined them. How old are you? Oh, I'm 53. How old are you, 20? Oh, you're a weak little son of a bitch. And I just walk away. It's the greatest thing ever. Oh, my God, such an offensive lineman.

Such an offensive lineman. I wish I would be in one of those gyms one day hey you should film yourself doing that the internet would enjoy get like a candid shot from across the gym have you have a lapel on walk up to a group of blurred faces uh what are you boys doing today bench talk i work with you guys oh yeah sure man anything you want your old ass dude then he just walks in there. All right, I'm done, boys. You should quit. What a moment.

Good for you, Mark. Anything from the back room there, Todd? Yeah, Mark, I'm just curious, how is the chili business going and what's your involvement in the creation process of that?

Great question. That is a great question. The chili business is good, and it's for sale. So we're really killing it. Listen, had I known then what I know now, I would have found something else to invest my money in. Like I said, I can make it. I just can't really retain it. It's been great, man. It's been an 11-year labor of love.

Of course. And one of these days, I think I'm going to make a profit. But I don't see that day anytime in the near future. So we just continue to grind. I had nothing to do with the recipe. Here's the deal. Some guy I met brought it to me. So my last year in Denver, I hurt my knee on the very first day of training camp.

Had to have knee surgery. Now, I'm a lawn freak. I'm always in my lawn. I have no hobbies. I have zero hobbies. All I do is mow my lawn. I mow it three times a week. I am a freak show.

Such a classic old man right there. Right. Here's the deal. My lawn is better than yours, and I'm going to let you know as you're driving by. I'm just going to let you know that I've got a better lawn than you. I had a dude swing by my house the other day. He rolls down the passenger side window, and I've never met him. I take my little iPod headphones out, whatever, and I'm like, yeah.

And he goes, hey, man, stop. And I'm like, what do you mean, stop? He goes, stop it. I'm sorry, I don't understand. He goes, just stop it. He goes, every day I have to listen to my wife bitch about Mr. Schlereth travels more than you, and his lawn always looks at me every guy in the neighborhood looked bad and then he just took off i don't even know who the guy is and it was

like one of the proudest moments of my you know it's one of the proudest moments of my just like manhood right like yeah my lawn is kicking your lawn's ass it is yeah and i'm not afraid to show it i'm not afraid to tell you about it. So that's the only real hobby I have. So this dude had a landscaping company. I was playing. I couldn't take care of my lawn because I had knee surgery and I was on crutches for 10 days. They were like a non-weight bearing for 10 days. And so he swung by and he mowed the lawn.

So I found him in the neighborhood because I lived in a neighborhood that had five or six players and a couple coaches lived in it. I find him and I thank him. He says to me, this is God's honest truth, I'm from Alaska. He goes, hey man, I make the world's greatest green chili. I'd like to bring you some. I was like, sure, you're going to bring me food? Great. I didn't even know what green chili was.

I didn't even know. He brings it by. I devour it because i'm 300 pounds i'm like this is great and you know we we started this relationship and the next thing i know we're in business together and like i have no idea how to make green chili i just know it's delicious that's like i'm and i'm gonna eat so that's how we that's how we started the business hey that was a good plug, though. Before it goes out of business or gets sold,

go and have the greatest green chili on planet Earth. You're from Alaska. How does that happen? I didn't know anybody who's from Alaska left Alaska. I assumed if you're from Alaska, you stay in Alaska, you do Alaska things. You have your own little plane. You fly out in the middle of nowhere. Maybe you get on one of them crab boats where the people on the Discovery Channel, and you just live out in this beautiful place that has the back door of russia i honestly thought that was the case there's not a lot of people coming out

of alaska i don't think no there's not but my dad grew up 112 in broadway he grew up in new york city so we lived in alaska but we didn't do a lot of alaska things like i don't hunt i've never owned a gun you know i i really i don't hunt. I've never owned a gun, you know. I really, I don't like to fish. I like to catch. Like, there's a big difference to me, right? Some people will be out there all day. Like, they'll be out there all day on the boat with the line bobbing.

What a day. Did you catch anything? No, but, man, we saw some fish. I'm like, are you kidding me? I got about a six-minute window. If I'm not catching something within six minutes, I'm like, I'm out of here. These damn fish. I'm in the dumbest place in the world, right?

I don't have any. I don't have time to suffer fish. You either jump on my line or I'm out of here. That's my rule with fishing. I want to catch. I'll just go like, are you going to go fishing today? Yeah, I'm going fishing. I'm going to go Safeway.

I'll go or Costco. That's where I'm going to be today because I know I'm going to go fishing today? Yeah, I'm going fishing. I'm going to go Safeway. Like, I'll go or Costco. Like, that's where I'm going to be today because I know I'm going to catch something there. I'm the same way. I don't think I can fish if I had to right now. This next one is a beautiful mind. Zito? Mr. Stink, I'm a big in-the-trenches guy. Who's your favorite lineman right now in the league right now?

Oh, Quentin Nelson? Come on. He's so Oh, Quentin Nelson? Come on. He's so good, isn't he? Quentin Nelson, how do you not like a guy that they call Earl Gray? I mean, this dude is just disrespectful block after disrespectful block and then just walking his nethers right across your face mask, right? Like, just how do my nuts smell? Like, I just, oh, my God.

Seriously, when I was watching, I've never watched a dude on film. Like, I literally would walk into my study, put a tie on the door, and go, honey, don't come in here. I'm going to watch to his health. Okay? He was like, I'm just telling you.

Man, his college film was like nothing I'd ever seen before. I'm just telling you His college film was like nothing I'd ever seen before I'm like Holy Moses Just give me some privacy Lock the door Tie on the knob It's Quentin Nelson time baby

He's got a handlebar mustache too now Just doing it even more so for you He's got a handlebar mustache too now, just doing it even more so for you. Oh, he's just phenomenal. It is like music. It's like sweet symphony. He had another night-night block yesterday when the DN was going up against the tackle. Yeah, I saw it. And the DN tried spinning inside, and Quinton was just waiting for him there.

Oh, just watching the play? Yeah. Yeah, I mean, just absolutely just rolling over dude and just like standing over and going do you even look bro do you even lift you know he sounds like you oh man he sounds like you is that how he played is that how you played by the way were you just a dog out there like you are to these little twerps in the gym no no i i like i'm more like who uh horton here's a who, you know, I'm just kind of scared of my own shadow. I like, I did. I never said, I mean, I never said two words. I really didn't,

but I will tell you my first game, my, my first and only five, I've never been in a fight in my entire life. Um, and my first game in the NFL was in Philadelphia. It was against the Eagles in the vet. They were the number one defense in football, and they had Reggie White. They had Clyde Simmons. They had Jerome Brown, Mike Pitts, Byron Evans. I mean, they were loaded. I mean, loaded.

And here's this little 10th rounder out of Idaho that's going to start a game in the middle of the season in the vet, you know, and they thought they were going to feast. And I was playing against first-round draft choice Mike Pitts out of Alabama, and I was opening a can of whoop-ass on this dude. Just, I mean, like he had no, he didn't know who he was in for, right? And my whole thought process was, I may not be good enough to play, but nobody's nobody's gonna punk me i am not getting punked today that was my like my only goal i may not be that good but you're not gonna punk me today and so i'm opening this can of whoop ass

and he i don't know it's probably second quarter maybe he's just frustrated because i am tearing him up and he took a swing at me, and I guarantee you, I went double fist punch, double amp, underneath the face mask. If you hit somebody in the helmet, it's pretty good. I tried to break his freaking jaw. I literally tried to break his jaw.

I was like, yeah! You know? And I mean, flags. I'm getting peppered with flags. There's a whole slew of people, I was like, there's one thing that's not going to happen today, I'm going to get my ass whipped today, but I'm not getting punked, because I knew, like I said, a 10th rounder out of Idaho, come on, I mean, I knew that was going to be something that I had to prove to the rest of the NFL that I belong, so that's the first game and that's the

only fight i've ever been in ah dude it's incredible hey you're in for a long day with this slareth kid last week his first ever game he did a double uppercut juicy miles jack just got paid like 57 million dollars first game after getting paid in the first half decides to swing on i forget who it was and then when he was getting police escorted out of the stadium he almost he fought it a couple times it was like it was like when my mom like had to drag me out of somewhere like when i was a little kid that's what it looked like but he was holding his hand in an interesting fashion he took a shot at the helmet directly at the helmet which i think you nailed it there you never want to punch a helmet he did that and then he was holding an interesting i wonder if he broke anything that seems like a dumb decision but i'm not in the heat of the battle as much to know the right answer there yeah uh yeah i would i

don't think it's ever a good decision to hit you know a really hard piece of plastic with your fist but that's probably not it's not going to end well for you. Foxy, you got anything for Mr. Schlereth? Yeah, Mark, I'll keep it simple. Who do you think is going to win the Super Bowl this year? Yeah, I'm excited for this. Yeah, I mean, how do you bet against the Patriots? They're just stupid.

First off, Tom Brady might not be from this planet. He might be an alien. He is. He may be. And they're just coached better than everybody else. I like the Saints and I like the Patriots. You know, I think after the last two years, the way the season has ended for New Orleans,

don't you feel like it's just they're like karma? Like, all right, we feel bad about what we did to them the last two years come on we got to let them in um i feel that way but i you know new england is is just the most disciplined football team on planet earth and they just execute if you're going to beat them you have to beat them from an execution standpoint you have to be willing to go toe-to-toe with them and not make a mistake and it's just incredibly hard to do and they have the ability to do it tom brady and julian edelman are 40 and 0 together against afc teams if they're playing together tom brady and julian edelman 40 and 0 against afc teams wow that's ridiculous yeah i don't even know that's a real stat it sounds like a fake one but somebody told me that that. That seems like they are stats. Hey, if it was on the internet, it's got to be true, Pat.

I agree completely. You know what you said about karma there for the Saints after the Minneapolis miracle and then the pass interference thing? Everybody probably assumed that about the Buffalo Bills, too, back in the 90s or whatever. They never got it. The four falls of Buffalo or whatever. Right.

Yeah. They deserved it, too. I think Jim Kelly deserved it too i think jim kelly deserved in buffalo biz deserved a little something then i hope something happens good for drew breezo this has to be tough off seasons man thinking about that all off season right the way it ended for two off seasons in a row i mean are you at least the bills got to the super bowl i mean it's obviously getting trounced three times in a row um the one game was close but they missed it wide right.

But the other ones were, you know, listen, man, thank you, Bills. I was one of the guys that whipped your ass to a bowl. So I'm a big Bills fan, right? Just like a big, I've got a funny Raiders story for you because, you know, I hate Raiders with a wide, hot intensity of a thousand suns. So Raiders, last time they were in the Super super bowl which was before most of your cast was born uh yeah i was there uh so i'm out and i'm out it was in san diego here's the other thing about san diego now that the chargers have moved to la do you find yourself not saying san diego like i

don't ever use i don't ever say i feel like it's like a dirty word, like San Diego. I'm like, hey, who are the Rockies playing? They're playing the Padres. I won't even go, like, we've ruined one of the greatest cities in America, because I'm afraid I'd always have to think before I even say it, because I'm thinking, wait a minute, am I allowed to say San Diego in this context or not? Because, you know, you say it on a broadcast, and everybody goes, oh, there's a LA Chargers now, and you're like, oh, God, San Diego, I forgot, sorry. So anyhow, I'm in San Diego for the Super Bowl, and I'm out in the outskirts right at this event. And I got a 4 o'clock hit on SportsCenter. This is back in my ESPN days.

So I got to get out. And so I call a cab, and it's like an hour and a half, and I'm down in the Gaslamp District of San Diego. So I'm standing there. All of a sudden, this Suburban pulls up. And I was like, there's six dudes all dressed in Raider gear. And I go, hey, you guys going down to the Gaslamp District? And they go, yeah. As a matter of fact, we are.

I go, hey, do you think I'd jump in the Suburban with you guys? And they're like, yeah, no problem. Jump in. So I'm in the Suburban. These guys are all decked out in Raiders jerseys, right? And I'm just sitting there minding my business. And one dude is, I'm on the passenger side window in the back seat. And there's another dude on the driver side window. And there's a guy between us, right? And the dude on the

driver side window keeps leaning over and kind of looking, looking, right? And it's getting uncomfortable. And we're in, like, we're on the freeway. It's stop and go. We're barely creeping, right? And this guy keeps looking, looking, and finally goes, I know who you are. And I go, what? He goes, you're that dude that hates the Raiders. I go, what are you talking about? Now everybody in the car is looking. The driver, because we're stopped on the freeway, he's looking. Everybody's looking, right? And they're all like, yeah.

He goes, you're the dude that hates the Raiders. I go, what are you talking about? He goes, you're the dude that hates the Raiders that's on ESPN. And I go, no, you got me all wrong. He goes, no, that's you. And I'm thinking this is probably not going to end well, right? He goes, that's you. You're that guy. And I go, I don't hate the Raiders. I go, you have

me completely wrong. And he goes, yeah, you're always dog cussing our team. You're always saying crap about our team. You're that dude. I go, nope, nope. I go, I am the guy that played for the Broncos. And I go, but you have me all wrong. I love the Raiders. No, you're always dogging us. I go, no, I guy that played for the Broncos. And I go, but you have me all wrong. I love the Raiders.

No, you're always dogging us. I go, no, I love you guys. You know why? I go, because in my six years endeavor, I was 11-1 against your punk ass. And the car goes, it got complete silence. And I'm thinking to myself, I'm either going to get taken out of this car and beat to death, or these guys are gonna like and they just started breaking out howling and we became like best buddies i mean i still i yeah

there's one guy still keeping contact with it's unbelievable right uh you're such an alpha i can't fathom just being around you on a daily basis you're such a hilarious human uh this last guy's from Canada his name's Gumpy I'm just curious of what you thought of Kyler Murray yesterday and how you think he's going to be this year here's the deal which is interesting um and I said this on the broadcast and you know it's kind of sometimes things just fall out of my mouth and oh yeah after they fall out of my mouth I'm like maybe not a great decision on my part so like midway through the third quarter they had three first downs theirs on Cardinals did and Kyler Moore was awful I mean he's missing throws he's inaccurate it was awful and it just

fell out of my mouth I said to call this offense garbage would be an insult to garbage. That's how bad they've been. You know, which I don't know. I might get a phone call from the principal's office. Maybe, maybe not. I don't know. It's just how I felt at the time. So I said it, right?

And so I'm texting with their GM today. So I was like, oh, shoot. Here's their GM texting me like I'm going to get an earful. But it was a great kind of back and forth. But I said, here's the deal. If I ever played as poorly as he played early, I go, there was no recovery. Now I'm going to battle my ass off and I'm going to fight. I'll turn it into a street fight.

It's not going to be pretty, but I'm not going to flip the switch and all of a sudden play great. This kid played as poorly as you can possibly play for three quarters and then flipped the switch and was magnificent. The strength mentally to be able to do. I'm telling you, I'm not strong enough mentally to do that. And to do that and to not get down on yourself and to continue to compete and then all of a sudden find your rhythm and groove and to be able to be that good, that's a talent that very few possess. And so I have nothing but the respect for the poise and the moxie that that kid showed.

Yeah, that would be tough. And then once you get hot though once he got hot they got hot there for a little bit and then obviously they tied no winners which brings us right back to the top ties are stupid uh but i'll tell you what there will be no tie for the greatest first podcast guest since our move to westwood one hey stink you were absolutely incredible today i learned so much i learned that the chili business might not be the best investment, might be a little bit impatient. I learned that you don't like to fish.

You like to catch. And I learned so many other things today about the offensive line. And, Mark, man, I just became a bigger fan of you somehow, which I didn't think was possible. Ladies and gentlemen, please make some noise. And buy some chili, too. Let's help the guy out a little bit. Ladies and gentlemen, three some noise and buy some chili too let's help the guy out a little bit uh ladies and gentlemen three-time super bowl champion incredible mentor consultant

to the new orleans saints unless they suck uh mark schlaer that's my pleasure brother thank you man mark johnson was incredible there he was so funny and the guy that was with us at the beginning and in the roman ad his name's petro about studio you're about to learn a lot about him here in about the next 30 40 minutes we talk about everything we cover everything gets you the inside scoop speaking of inside scoops the action network gets you on a fast track to not only gambling but investing in yourself. Yes. You can track all of the bets that you make on the Action Network app.

You can also read all the intel you need to know about who's betting where and why. What's the sharp money doing? What's the smart bettors doing? Oh, they're doing this. What's the public money doing? Oh, they're doing this. Well, I probably shouldn't do that. These people have big old casinos.

These people are broken streets. I'm going to bet that. These people have big old casinos. These people are broken streets. I'm a bet with the people with the big casinos have an Action Network has all that information for you. Did you know that Petro I did not holy hell. Right now you go to get action.app forward slash Pat, and you can track all of your bets. You can track all of everybody else's but you can even specifically fade somebody.

Lock the door. tip bro uh visa tips uh what this isa coming for us i had no idea it was this difficult to become an american citizen by the way i'm learning a lot through the gumpy situation i i had no idea that

it was going to take this long gumpy's never going to become an assistant not he's not allowed to be paid for his work in america surprisingly for a country of immigrants you're very selective funny how that works out at some point we went ahead and turned off the revolving door um about a week before gump put his paperwork pretty accurate probably yeah i guess um this thing this dude is incredible not bad huh it's very nice put your latest toy in too look yeah we got a tel Yeah, we got a touchscreen. Yeah. For those watching at home,

I wanted it to be an active studio. You know what I mean? You're an active guy. Thank you. What did you say, studio? Studio. Studio. Studio.

This is the Pat McAfee studio. So what I wanted was a telestrator. I wanted the whole thing. thing just because if it had to happen I wanted to be able to do this one yeah you see that yeah it's nice what do these two have in common accent couch it's an accent couch accent cushion yeah it's an accent it's the divide between us. Yeah. But just everything came together in such a beautiful fashion here. How long did it take to build this, did you, if you had to guess?

The build, like a week and a half. But get it completely outfitted with all the technology and all the shit. I mean, we were pushing the 11th hour this morning for our live show. I mean, there was buttons being pushed at 9.56. oh we got it oh yeah we're gonna be able to go live you really can't you've moved into this office basically you've been working i have a groove in the couch out there i wouldn't sit in it will you ever come back to indianapolis i'll be back to fix stuff that you break back to Indianapolis? I'll be back to fix stuff that you break.

Won't be Foxy and Zito. Yeah. Yeah. Foxy. Have you been impressed at all with the way Foxy and Zito? Oh, yeah. Really? He should play the piano or maestro the fingers out. Wow. Yeah, Petra, I actually have a question for you. What happens when one of these cameras break? Because like, we're not gonna be able to fix that. See that I have a very expensive premium rate number you can call guide you over the phone. Oh, boy. Support can be offered. Like what are you? Like you're just a British spy. What's your job title? Seriously, though? You're just awesome powers. The nice nice or what are you just a tech uh tech operations director is my official zone title and you just fall to that title like how's this

did you go did you used to build robots or something like what I just kind of fell into sport yeah I guess I started in radio originally on air the beautiful art of radio it is it's an intimate relationship with people we're excited to be back in there for two months to paint a picture that people can't see were you a radio host uh no i used to support one and then i used to do sport so kind of in the middle so when you say do sport that's just an entire category of things uh football well my football soccer cricket rugby speedway you ever seen speedway yeah it's right down here. It's Indianapolis. It's a town that's filled with a lot of kind of shiesty shady people. Speedway, Speedway.

Also my favorite gas station. Yeah, it is a great gas station here in the middle of America. Formula O? No, just like local sports. So rugby, soccer, Speedway, cricket. And you would talk about these things? I'd do like some of the news reporting, yeah. And then went into engineering. This is Petra coming to you live from a sports teacher. Well, I actually had...

I worked for the BBC, so you have elocution lessons when you work for the BBC. You have a person comes in and they sit with you until you can talk so that your voice stays in one long bar when you look at it under a wave meter. So that's why everyone on the BBC sounds the same. Really? Less so now, because now they're all about regional dialects and people being from your area well

that's big because i have a terrible accent that kind of comes and goes depending on the words you know go ahead and hit that done see that our show would have never existed in britain i just learned probably not not so long ago But now they like the region or they like people that sound like the people. Not everyone talks like the queen. Speaking of the queen, happy you brought her up.

She is a popular figure over there. I wondered where that was going. Well, I didn't know how you guys... I thought you were going to reveal your secret crush. I have a crush on the queen, sure. Anybody that can have six corgis, have everybody paying her

and she's always professional it seems always on and never happy in public it appears she's never not allowed to smile yeah you're not allowed to smile she is not allowed to be happy no the queen isn't like hey you know what i still got people in canada paying a tax to her and she can't be happy about that she's not allowed to be happy is that a real rule i doubt it it seems it's just very proper have you ever seen a very prim proper person be overly happy they're always just ambivalent about everything it's like they've just won the lottery does this happen lovely does this happen in britain too when you're when you get like uh let off of a crime you're

acquitted or whatever do they say the charges have been dropped against the crown? That's a great question. Probably. They were saying that in Canada. That was the vernacular they were using. For what? If someone was, if like the case was dismissed here in the US, they would say they would be like the charges have been dropped against the crown or from the crown. That's incredible. Wow. The queen though,

very well revered over there. For the most part, yeah. Yeah. I think it goes in waves, depending on public opinion. She's a figurehead, right? Easy. I mean, she's a literal figurehead. She's on stamps, money, coins.

She's not making decisions. She's not making decisions. Whoa. I'm sure she chooses what she wears each day. Well, yeah. Well, that's why she's so angry all the times He's gonna fit in that corset every day of her life the the zone you know, that's that's that's her husband Are you allowed to say they might like to hear am I gonna get buried in England because of what you do said right here

Yeah, is he is he like? I have no idea. It's just pure conjecture yeah but you gotta remember you have to remember with me if somebody says it with enough confidence i'm i believe i'm riding with it forever lock it in forever like right now forever that dude's wearing one of them things anytime i see him on tv i'll probably be a tweak him he's got to be so uncomfortable in one of them kim kardashian body things if i marry they've been renamed to what's that what have they been renamed to uh body shapers spanks no it was the kimono wasn't it then everyone was like you can't call you can't call that a kimono oh yeah she's got thousands of years what are you thinking your business advisors should be sacked how do you guys feel about megan

Your business advisors should be sacked. Sacked. How do you guys feel about Meghan? Markle. Oh, now you're getting into the red tops. Yeah. It's going one way or the other. We got an American princess.

We like that. We're a big fan of that. An American has cracked the case. The big article that I last saw on a UK tabloid was about tax returns. So if you're a US citizen, no matter where you live and work, you have to pay US taxes. Forever. Until you decide to not be a US citizen. That's what you're getting into,

Gumby. Or was that in The Guardian? It might have been, actually. Look at him. Hey. You can read. Anyway. Canada. I thought we were a team here. Hey, Paulul i'm sorry but yeah the tax returns so she has to file tax returns but she's now an employee of the crown they don't want her filing royal tax returns to the irs there's a whole big thing taxation

without representation but but flipped. Megan's got to throw some tea. She's got to throw some tea into a thing. The IRS says you have to declare gifts. So as a member of the royal family, you're constantly given gifts. So, for instance, their baby has a baby trust fund that they've been given a bunch of stuff to. The baby is technically a U.S US citizen under Megan's IRS return. So she's meant to declare

all the babies. Oh, I love this. Oh, it's a mess. I just love this. The UK's in uproar about it. Oh, I couldn't even find that. So we got to send some of our money

back to America is what they're thinking because basically that's what's happening. I'm pumped up about that. I'm excited to see how that all goes. Suddenly you'll see

the royal family are very poor. That's straight mental. Hey, you need to let your people know back there, like the royal family, the IRS is some real gangsters. They're going to get that money. Hey, the IRS is going to get that money. There'll be someone on the door of Buckingham Palace.

What's up, queen? That daughter of yours that's from America, she owes us at least 14 of these mini coopers i mean she thinks she's pretty big but they put wesley snipes in prison that is the litmus test for how big the corporation is yeah welcome back to the show uh things are going really well i'm about to wrap it up here patrick's got one more or two more ha ha's in them i think you're gonna enjoy listening to i had to stop to tell everybody this petro you can get as many massages

because the zone's new i've been with the company that owned the zone for five years but the zone a year oh a year and a half that's how you's new. I've been with the company that owned DAZN for five years, but DAZN a year. Oh, a year and a half. That's how you got the job? Because you were with the company for five years, kind of got up there? Okay, we've got this guy, Petra, who talks about sport,

and he knows the tech stuff pretty good. He can plug in some cables. He'll do the job. I'll tell you what. You are an impressive individual. I mean, honestly, you very are. I have a lot of questions. You do. You're like a better Zito

what's that supposed to mean? better accent means my liver and kidneys are in way better condition than that pate you're carrying around oh my god my liver did not deserve that there's a new rivalry

in our office that has captivated everybody. Originally, it was Todd versus technology. Todd McComas would battle against technology. Anybody could get emails, delivery systems. Our t-shirt company. T-shirt, yeah. Everybody could get it because he battled with tech.

Todd versus tech was a real problem. I like it. Now, it seems as if the entire office has moved on to our new favorite rivalry. Wow. Say that 10 times fast. Petro and Zito have had an incredible rivalry. It's pretty epic. It is.

It is very epic. And it's been a one-sided battle. I was going to say, I don't even know if you can call it a rivalry. It's almost like a bug going into the windshield. They did have a moment at about midnight on Saturday night. What are you doing? Can't say, bro. Petro looked at him and he said, Zito, you actually might be a little bit useful.

Fuck it all, you guys. That is 100% true. That is the exact sentence. He said, now I know why they keep you around. It was a British accent, though. In a British accent. No shit. Broke character quick. Yeah i'll tell you what keep you around um no not completely useless fact thank you

is this you're welcome is this is pat's relationship with the zone is this completely a new thing for DAZN? Oh, yeah. This is the first time I've ever done anything like this. This is DAZN's very first studio. That is cool. Oh, yeah. Hey, the guy from Susha.

And that's anywhere in the world. Oh, that's amazing. So we have pop-up studios, like for the boxing, we'll build a know for the night somewhere But this is the very first one that's fixed in a building for a show and you guys have offices in Tokyo Correct Munich, correct London Two or three there three. Yeah, New York City, New York, Los Angeles. No, you just live there. Yep rebel and Jamie

But the only real fixed studio is in indianapolis i love this yeah we're very lucky that the zone decided to team up with us yeah i have no idea what to expect from the whole thing honestly i have no idea i'm pretty pumped up about it yeah just be you that's what everybody's saying yeah sounds but we did we did have a gd dropped by the car goddamn by a caller first caller and right before i go on air i'm stopped by one of the zone execs go uh just quick heads up congratulations i'm like thank you like yeah congrats to you too by the. First real studio you guys built. He's like, no, we just got cleared for Italy day one. Italy, DAZN would like you.

I'm like, that's incredible. They're like, yeah, Italy asked for a couple things. They said the occasional fuck is no problem. Just go ahead and let that fly. Nice. But they are a Catholic country. Please don't say anything about God or Jesus. And I was like, okay.

And he was like, for instance, God damn it. Not good for Italy. I was like, you got it. I don't know. I say, God damn Jesus. And I was like, okay. And he was like, for instance, God damn it, not good for Italy. I was like, you got it. I don't want to say, I say, God damn it anyways. That's not a big deal. First caller's like, God damn it. And I just thought about the Pope

like watching in his little Pope mobile or whatever it is. You probably need a picture of the Pope in here just to salute each day. Great idea. Or one of the little Pope bobbleheads your desk probably get a bible for the table too i mean that'll be in flames i wouldn't it'll burst into flames take it easy take it easy patro geez we're trying to win over the pope not just make him assume that everything's terrible i would like to think of the pope

watching our show by by the way. I bet he does. He's tuning in today. Is that him? Speak of the devil. He's got nothing better to do. See, here's the thing about the Pope. I just lost it all.

I wonder if we did. He would look better with a mustache. I agree. I'm not doing it. I'm not going to do it. This guy is a he's a young guy he's an act he is in pope years that's jude law that's the hbo show yeah you're right i knew he looked thought that was a real thing this is an active pope though he's an active guy he's out

in the community he's doing a lot of this he's got twitter he's got a ferrari no he's got the popemobile you don't need a ferrari if you got the popemobile i thought no i thought one of the popes had a ferrari this guy's probably the guy if any Pope had a Ferrari it'd be this particular Pope with the Ferrari it's Italian made so he's a lot of driver exactly do they do they still choose Popes oh yeah the same way with the whole seat situation and everything and the smoke comes up when white smoke comes like the seat the seat has a hole in it and a quick yeah that's true right are you this is Petro

so when they choose the Pope there was way back when like hundreds and hundreds of years ago there was a woman who tried to trick

people into thinking she was dressed as a clergyman as a Pope and so they had a hole cut in the seat after this so that the Pope

sits on it so that everything drops through and they just give it a quick to make sure it's a man is this what you guys this is what you guys get taught in history over there in england i mean i don't know where i found this from but it's in my head so it's real because it's just like what you said with the specs with the prince yeah oh man maybe true i assume you know once they've him, then the smoke goes up and everyone.

We don't know much about the Pope. I don't think there's a lot of talk about the Pope. We used to be a Catholic country, I think. We're not really a Catholic country anymore. Tim McAfee, fun fact, went to Central Catholic in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. With? Dan Marino. Graduated the same class as Dan Marino.

That guy was cold. Ice cold. Always a blizzard when dan was around from what i've been told what's interesting here is these people were praying while looking at the ferrari father son holy lambo sorry you gotta bless your lambo before you drive and i think i think the pope is even giving a little best wishes thing this guy's doing the uh matthew mcconaughey this guy has no clue what's going on this guy's like i'm actually a jewish man but i have a good time here i shouldn't have this should never have given you this screen it It's awesome. That is absolutely awesome. I think this

relationship with DAZN is going to do well. For as long as they keep giving you things, yeah. Like any good relationship. Yeah, that's the way we like it. You just got real deep there. I'll let you know. Just got real, real, real deep right there. Do you like American football? I don't want

to say no, but I wouldn't say yes. Did you listen to Mark Schleyer's interview earlier today? A little bit, yeah. I was busy doing other things. Me too. I mean, what do you want from me? Well, you were doing your work, and I was doing my work. What was the biggest problem with this studio?

Oh, that's a good question. Thank you. You're welcome. Appreciate that, man. Probably the workflow side of it. What do you mean by that? So like bringing graphics in, moving video around, sending things back and forth.

Anything to do with Zito. So is Zito the point man right in between? Basically everything between Zito and Foxy. That's the most complicated area. The only issue we have had in building this six-figure studio revolves around two men. Zito and Foxy.

You guys are going to figure it out. Yeah, that's what we do. That's what you guys do. I saw a little bit of stress in Foxy's eyes, though. Yesterday. You're not lying. And I saw some deer-in-the-headlights look at a Zito. I feel like that the whole time. That's just diabetes

on its way. Zito did not deserve that. We don't deserve this. I can eat grapefruit. We don't deserve the studio. Zito didn't deserve that. Petro, we're so lucky you went to work for us in the studio and made an incredible... It's incredible.

We're very lucky. You're welcome. It's been a great game to meet you all, hang out with you all. Spending too much time together. A lot of time. Too much time. Hey, I was about to just disappear. I never talked to anybody again. We had close to 70 people in our office, it felt like, the last couple days. Pat was

getting tapped on the shoulder every like 35 seconds oh can i get here for something can i borrow you it was 80 the same person though yeah but but it was a lot of questions that had needed answers i just didn't expect to have to do them right in the middle of everything happening but i'm happy we're here it's like the preseason it's like training camp you get sick of everything until the regular season happens i was about to disappear uh after the last two days of everybody from the zone in this office everybody from everywhere in this office but this morning we kicked off the live radio show everything went out went off without a hitch it was fun hey and now we get hey now we go now we go now Day one done. Hardest day of the year. Right?

Yeah. People say never ever forget your first day. Yep. I'll remember Triple H on the line. I'll remember our first caller, Josh, upsetting the Pope. Yep. And possibly getting us canceled from an entire country, the boot country. I'll remember just go ahead and flowing and recreating the NFL overtime

rules. I remember Schlaerth. And I'll never forget that the only problem this studio has is you don't fall. You've summed it up. Yeah. This has been an awesome day. Cheers to all of you.

That's strong. What are we doing? There was no reason for that. Too much power. Too much power in my head. You're going to take buttons away from them, don't worry. Yeah, I guess. I'll lay something in front of it.

We'll be back. We'll be back on Thursday. Heartland Radio is out tomorrow. Live radio show, 10 to noon, Eastern Standard Time, all week. We're giving away an Escalade. You have to watch to win the Escalade. The way it's working, Zito, is what? Keywords every single day for the next four days.

And then you lump them together. Yep. And then on Friday afternoon, we're giving away a Cadillac Escalade. But you have to watch to win. It's a 2017 Escalade. Not a lot of miles. A lot buttons i hate it i bet you'll love it get it out of my driveway and into yours just by watching the pat mcafee show live on diso and don't just go sign up on the zone all willy-nilly go find the links that we put out

there use that link because we get 20 bucks per and somebody has to pay for the studio that's right it's all about kickbacks yes somebody's got to pay for petro's flight back to los angeles with that's right i'm still stuck here how long are you here for did i get a flight did anybody ask us how long we wanted you here there was never even a thought that doesn't matter now he told me he was off to china next are you that's in a couple of weeks, yeah Do you say China? China

China It's because you went to that school at the BBC That's right By the way, BBC also means something very different Yes, it does I just Googled it Do not put that on the screen Now everything's going to crash
