Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdome, on this massive overreaction Monday, May 6, 2024. This sports program starts now. Sports! We're awesome this weekend. We had three game sevens, two in the NHL, one in the NBA, four series ended, another couple series started in round two. I mean, we are kicking off a magical time of sport. There was the greatest roast of all time last night that we're certainly going to talk about. Who are the big winners we saw from the evening in which we saw comedy happen that we haven't seen in years? Legitimately, the greatest roast of all time might have been something that changes the trajectory of entertainment going forward.

I thought there was a chance it was going to suck, especially whenever you got football guys going up trying to do comedy. I thought maybe there was a time coming where the football players were going to get exposed for not having personalities, not being charming, not having timing or delivery or chops, especially with the group of comedians they were going against, who are absolute savages. The football guys held up their end of the bargain. What a night last night. Big shout out to Tom Brady

for doing that, obviously. Jeff Ross piecing the whole thing together. Kevin Hart, great host. I mean, you have like whole thing together. Kevin Hart, great host. I mean, you have one of the biggest stars on earth hosting an event like that alongside all the other talent. He's a fantastic move. Nikki Glaser, big winner. Brush.

Big winner. Andrew Schultz, yup. Born for that. Sells out Madison Square Garden back-to-back nights. Has 50 Cent come out and perform one of the nights. I couldn't even fathom what that place was like. And then he flies to L.A. to the Forum, sits on a dais, watches everybody else do his thing,

knowing that when he gets up there, he is about to just crush his entire set. Every other sentence was a murder of somebody for Andrew Schultz. It was beautiful. Nikki Glaser won me over as a fan. Oh, yeah. She's great. Won me over as a fan last night. Jeff Ross, they kept saying,

Hey, Jeff, you better hope these roasts continue or you'll kind of fade into irrelevance. Who cares? He is fantastic. We need to keep these roasts going so we see more of Jeff Ross. Thinner, they're saying. Yeah, good. Looks good. Tony Hinchcliffe killed Tony. I've seen him on Instagram. I've met him at a wrestling event or two. I don't think I've ever seen him fully work. Brilliant. Absolute mastermind. And then you think about Tom Brady and you think about Robert Kraft and you think about Peyton Manning and you think about Bill Belichick and then you think about tom brady and you think about robert craft and you think about peyton manning and you think about bill belichick and then you think about ben affleck you're like which one's going to be the worst it's ben affleck pretty good no questions no questions as this guy was the worst they should have said hey you're like one of the greatest thespians of all time

why don't you act like a comedian for a night? He refused to do that. He wanted to tell a little bit of a story going through Tom Brady's social media, which is certainly fascinating, but it was great to see Ben Affleck. We love seeing him. Big fans of him. But if you think people that sucked last night, everybody's just pointing at this guy. And that's a shame. That is a shame because we know how talented he is.

But anyways, thanks to Tom Brady, Netflix, Jeff Ross, everybody over there for the greatest rest of the week. Unreal. We'll be playing some clips throughout the show today. I assume we'll get a cease and desist and probably soon piss people off. But it's worthy of being heard because it's sports related. That's right. And who would we be as journalists if we didn't showcase what was being talked about in the sports world, especially last night?

I assume that number is going to be absurd. It was obviously going against Game 7 between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Dallas Stars and Texas Hockey. Congratulations. Wow. Congratulations. Last night was a big two TV night or at least one in the phone and netflix greatest roast of all time was the sound and i love watching that game seven let's get to the toxic table at boston connor and that ty schmidt massive weekend obviously for sports the boston bruins put away the maple leaf boston Boston Con, man, I know that you

were eager to see that series potentially end one way or another because the way Toronto flipped the tide on its head to get this entire thing. That's hilarious. Now, Biz owes you 20 public push-ups, and Swayman, the goalie for the Boston

Bruins, who led them to victory, had a 95% save rate, I think, for the Boston Bruins, who led them to victory, had a 95% save rate, I think, throughout the entire series, which is like the second highest of all time in Boston Bruins history. He was one of the original six teams, obviously. He'll be joining us at 1.30 Eastern time. But, Conman, you had to be pumped to see the Bruins somehow get out of there with a big win after an injury to a goalie that nobody could have expected. Yeah, that was incredible news coming through the wire on Saturday.

I mean, we all saw Bish in his pants when they realized, you know, Samsonoff was going to be between the pipes instead of wool. I'm glad you guys could pull up the old photo of me when I played for the Junior Bruins. That's very nice. But the guy you had on. Same hair, same hair. Old photo.

Well, you know, old photo. I came out of the womb with a mustache, people said. But Hampus Lindholm, right there. That number two had the tying goal in regulation. Hampus, the hopper Lindholm, cleaning up the dirty laundry all night. I mean, the other thing that isn't on there is that Posta's goal basically was the hopper's goal. I don't know how they know where the puck's going

when they're just throwing it off the board. This is the goal that you're speaking of. Yeah, but here it is. Hampus tosses it down off the board. What is the goal that you're speaking of. Yeah, but here it is. Hompus tosses it down off the board. What a pass. In overtime. Game seven. Even O's the mentalist says this is going to seven.

It's going to overtime. And the Maple Leafs are going to win it. Pasta says, I don't think so. O's. Yeah. Maybe the first time he's been wrong that we've seen. That guy is an actual demon. But to your point here, perfect pass off the boards to play it to Pasta pasta the touch is silly because the weight on that yeah has to be proper as well

too hard dies on the board too soft doesn't make it all the way back perfect pace that thing makes it to pasta in stride so that he can bangles i mean you mentioned o's i forgot what a bitch you know what i mean oh O's the mentalist. Hey, O's, if you're listening, you're a bitch dog for picking the Toronto Maple Leafs. You were wrong the whole way. Your mentalist shit's bullshit. But, well,

I would like to correct that statement. When it comes to sports, when it comes to predicting Game 7's O's, your shit is bullshit. Between Boston and Toronto. Bingo. Now O's knows he's never been against the Bs when they're playing the Leafs, especially in a game seven, especially in the playoffs. But as much as I'd like to enjoy this, I've got to set my sights on this other bitch, Darius Butler.

This guy was in a pit crew this weekend. Exactly. He's got his head in the pit crew. I've been on the ice for the last 48 hours living and dying with the Bruins and this guy's out here playing hanky-panky with a bunch of F1 racers. You're talking about G1 Lando Norris? Yeah, yeah, sure. Lando, yeah, cool. Sweet Jackie.

You look like an asshole. To be clear, you look really good. I disagree. It fits you pretty fantastically and it looks like you were in the pit for the G1 race alongside Lando Norris, who gets his first win in 110 starts. Wow.

Cool. First win in 110 starts. Great job, Lando. First human other than Vanderstoppen to win a United States race. He had won six straight before Lando gets a big-time dub here, and you've been rocking with him this entire time, haven't you? You know I'm a little— – I got a few teams. Always. A few drivers I root for.

Belando's been my – That's called hedging and everything else. But in sports, it's frowned upon. It's sports. It's sports. And it's a new sport for me. I got into it. So, you know, I got – root for Lewis.

I root for Ferrari. Everybody's a Ferrari fan. But McLaren was actually the first team to kind of take me in, kind of show me the ropes of the sports. You guys remember. But great job for Lando. Max had won the previous two Miami Grand Prixs. Not today.

So Lando. Hey, look, look. Hard Rock Stadium. Play a hockey game. What's this asshole talking about? He's taking a victory lap. He's in victory lane. I'm a player.

Listen, guys. The Panthers have been on for a week. I know. We've been on for a week. We're fresh. We're rested. We were enjoying it. You know, obviously, heat got there.

They said Chuck was down there at that Grand Prix. He said he was shaking hands with Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow. We're rested. We were enjoying it. Obviously, heat got there. They said Kachuk was down there at that Grand Prix. He said he was shaking hands with Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow. That's what Kachuk was doing yesterday. He was down. Not a warrior in the world. And McLaren, it was some other figures in there that had to get me up out of there before somebody else came in there before they talked to Lando. But big time race.

Hulk Hogan. Hulk Hogan was down there. It was good vibes. Good vibes down there. Miami Grand Prix. But yeahogan was down there. It was good vibes. Good vibes down there. Miami Grand Prix. But yeah, it was awesome. Yeah, your guy was out there. What do you mean your guy?

What do you mean your guy? Why didn't you talk to him? There was a USA chant at one of those G1 events. I didn't even know that was possible. I didn't know that even existed in those types of races. But I would like to say, I forget what I was watching. Something else. It ended.

And I got two minutes. It was the basketball. Boom. Basketball game after game seven. Cavs-Orlando. Yes. That was what? The first game for that series on ESPN?

Or because they've been on NBA TV? Yeah, that's the first time I knew. I didn't know. Yeah, I think they're on Spike. I think they played on Spike TV. So I was watching that game. Spidey Goes Bananas. We'll talk to Steven Jackson here in a matter of moments about the NBA playoffs as a whole and why we didn't even know that series was taking place.

That seems like that's on us. But I caught two minutes of that G1 race, the beginning of it. Somebody was walking down, I think where all the cars were, the grid. I don't know if you know what it's called, G1. Well, it's called that in actual racing I think you're kind of You're kind of dialed in The Indy 500 happens here, real racing

Real racing Everybody heard Ty's rant He's not even watching two minutes of G1 No, absolutely not But anyways, good vibes, it looked like Good environment, everything like that, I'm happy to hear it South Florida though now has the Florida Panthers having to take on the Bruins tonight. And

Darius and one half of the hammer died. Cowboys turn digs. Obviously I would like you all to chime in on this. Feels like Connor's scared of the Panthers. Feeling the vibes for the last few hours in here. Even back in the think tank, he was quiet. He was dialed in. He checked on him a couple times. I knew what it was. Talked a little

shit before him. But yeah, he's, look, I hope that pasta jersey stays up there for the rest of time because we know who put it up there, and we know Chucky and the boys plan to keep it up there. Well, Chucky and the boys have had a week off down in the Panthers. For those that don't know, that pasta jersey, top left screen there, right in front of Cozzy to Buffalo, which is actually a bison. Probably changed the name. Thing's been with us the whole time. The whole time.

Very rarely look at it, acknowledge it, or see it. But it's been here. Serves a purpose. Thank you, Bison. Cousy the bison. Anyways, right in front of the bison is pasta. That's a pasta jersey because that is, to remember forever, the greatest regular season in the history of the NHL,

which is what the Boston Bruins had last year. Greatest team ever. Ever. When they talk about teams losing like eight games or seven games or whatever it is in the NBA, this team might be able to go get it. The Golden State Warriors a few years back, they were talking about, they might go.

The Boston Bruins did that in the NHL's history. Greatest regular season. And then first series, lose, first round, to the Florida Panthers coming into town and beat them. So we had to commemorate the best regular season. And then first series, Lewis, first round, to the Florida Panthers coming into town and beat them. So we had to commemorate the best regular season. But it does feel like you are sensing maybe these Florida Panthers do it again to your team. No, not at all. I mean,

this is the entire reason I was quiet, so I didn't have to hear this bullshit the entire morning, okay? This is why I didn't say a word. And yeah, sure, it's a bummer that this happened last year. And what was the conversation before the show today? Hey, you want to take that down? Yeah, because we got past the first round. And what did I say? No.

Because Posta actually won the series. Yeah, and what did I say? No, because it's not about winning the first round. Sometimes it is about losing the first round, okay? And we can understand that's exactly what last year was about. That is why that is still there, but the job's not finished. And yeah, there has been a nice little week off for the Florida Panthers, but a lot of times in hockey

that might not be a good thing. Especially for goalies. Especially for goalies. Not saying anything about Bob. Bob will. Especially when you've got two good goalies, it might help the team that goes seven games. So we'll see what happens.

We'll see. But I love the spot we're in because you guys are just fueling the fire. I'm a Bruins fan. He's worried. You've got to exercise the D. It doesn't sound like it. Well, remember, I was on the Bruins because Patty Maroon just answered a call mid-show from the change room.

From the change room or whatever the hell they call it in hockey. But then Kachuk came on. I'm like, oh, I like this guy. Marshy came on too. Yeah, but he's a rat. Panthers love the program. Panthers are a great team. Cannot wait to watch the series, but that happens tonight. So what happened on Saturday? Who cares?

We just knocked out the Toronto Maple Leafs who were down 3-1. They tie it, almost lose. Marshawn said all they had to do was be Leaf, which I like. I like there's a little moxie coming from the Bruins. We've got a great series starting this evening. Now, obviously the other one was Vegas and Dallas last night. And, you know, the Vegas

Golden Knights have been good to us. The Vegas Golden Knights have been great champions of the NHL. They've represented in a fantastic fashion for a city that had a team just within the last decade brought to it. They win a cup for them. They win Lordo for them. That's fantastic.

But they ran into a Texas hockey team that was a buzzsaw. They ran into a Texas hockey team that had a shit ton of talent. They ran into a Texas hockey team that not only goes up 1-0 and then Vegas ties it up, but they ran into a team that has gone a lot more. And there was people saying that that environment sucked and maybe that place shouldn't be the home of a Stanley Cup playoff game.

And those people that are saying that were completely wrong because Dallas Stars fans were rowdy. They were loud. And whenever push came to shove in Game 7, the Dallas Stars knocked off the Stanley Cup champions. Old school, classic, kick, standard backhand, top shed, Aiden Hill, you paying attention? Uh-uh.

2-1. That would be the winner. Now, what everybody's talking about with this particular game is maybe that the Vegas Golden Knights blew a couple wide-open opportunities. And it can't be doing that as Stanley Cup champs, especially in Game 7. Especially whenever the result of it is not only, ooh, a miss, but it goes back the other way and the Stars score off of it. miss, but he goes back the other way and the Stars score off of it. And then whenever Jackie Aces has one later in the game,

he misses as well. And there's so many opportunities right there. Marcy. Marcy. That was it right there. Had an opportunity. Oh, off the post. The Dallas Stars are going to score the other way. KG Affair, Ty, your Vegas Golden Knights

are now officially out of the running to go back-to-back like the Penguins did in the past and a couple other teams have. How do you feel about the series? How do you feel about the Vegas Golden Knights, Paul? Yeah, I mean, it absolutely stunk. But like you said, that's filthy right there. Yeah, and

a lot of people say, hey, Jackie Ace has got to bury this, and he'd tell you that he has to bury it as well, but he was the straw that stirred the drink for the Golden Knights offense. And also it was his move that made it. Exactly. He created the – Yeah, he's unbelievable.

It was one of those things where just, you know, hot start, get out 2-0, it was just too little too late. They didn't have the magic last night. And you knew if he would have scored that goal, and that was at the very end of the second period, if they're up 2-1 going into the third period and Dallas has to kind of play behind from a little bit it maybe changes things a little bit because Otter was just standing on his head the entire series just so tough but then third

period starts cagey affair like you mentioned Dallas scores 19 seconds in you kind of knew it was going to be a little little bit of an uphill battle but you know I'm glad that I mean I know how bad company wanted this I mean he wanted this know, more than he needed air to breathe. So, Connor's got a team in it still. I'm glad that these guys are going to be able to, you know, hopefully one of them will be able to experience a Stanley Cup on this show because it's a special, special treat. And I'm just proud of the boys.

I'm excited for next season. Hey, way to go, Golden Knights. You're good champions. One half of the hammer. I'm excited for next season. Hey, way to go, Golden Knights. You're a good champion. That's right. One half of the hammer. Done. Cowboys, Gumpy, living in La La Land, pal, with Texas hockey moving on. Good for you. We answered the bell this time.

Years pass. We go down a goal or two. We wouldn't bounce back like we did. And Otter was on his head in this series. Unbelievable to watch. Hey, congrats to Texas hockey. Good barn. Loud barn.

That was a good barn. That was a good barn Good barn. Loud barn. That was a good barn. That was a good barn. Nobody was expecting that. That was a good barn down there. The other game from the NHL this weekend was the Rangers being the Hurricanes, 4-3 in New York. Canes, remember, odds on favor to win the cup. So that's a massive win.

And I believe Rempe got sent to the penalty box within six seconds of him being on the ice. It was a beautiful thing. Rangers are up 1-0 in that particular series. And then in the NBA, the Timberwolves knock off the Nuggets in Denver with Ant-Man solidifying his stardom at

22 years old going bonkers. The Clippers lose to the Mavs who clinched the series in a 1-14, 1-0-1 win. And then Game 7 in a series that we had no idea was happening. 100% on us. 100% on us.

It is actually on us. We're not the ones telling them, hey, put this where no one will see it. Yeah, let's play at 11 a.m. on a Tuesday. Anyways, joining us to chit-chat about the Cavs, who win that one, become the first team in the history of Game 7s to be down 10 at half, and then go on to win by 10 in Game 7s, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Ladies and gentlemen, host of all the smoke, 15-year NBA vet, G in the term. That means great human being, Steven Jackson. Snack, what up? What's up, bro? Hey, thank you. How you doing? Hey, I'm great. How are you? Thank you so much for joining us, my man. I'm good, my brother. You know anything for you. That's very kind thank you. How you doing? Hey, I'm great. How are you? Thank you so much for joining us, my man.

I'm good, my brother. You know anything for you. That's very kind of you. I know you have a lot of other shit going on today, so thank you for making some time. Let's chit-chat about this Cavs team. Now, obviously, Game 7 takes place. Spider goes for like 50 in Game 6 loss.

Then he goes for 39 in Game 7, kind of carries the Cavaliers to a massive win. We had no idea this was happening. Does this Cavs team have a chance, Dak? Is this a team that we think is going to be able to do a little something against the Celtics? Or what are some thoughts on this team for somebody that maybe hasn't seen them until literally yesterday? Yeah, I mean, Donovan Mitchell is a star. Everybody knows that. He was a star in Utah where he played.

You know, this guy can score and get downhill like nobody else, and he's very athletic. But for me, I posted this on my page. This was the worst defensive game I've ever seen in my life. It looked like an over-glorified L.A. fitness game besides Donovan Mitchell and Paulo Banqueiro. I mean, it was just let me score, let you score. Like, it was crazy.

I really did enjoy the game. I love watching Donovan Mitchell play, but I didn't care who made it out of the series because I know they're going home next round regardless. Okay, so let's talk about that. The Celtics are just a lock here to at least make it to the conference finals. That's seemingly how Boston Connor feels about this particular team. make it to the conference finals. That's seemingly how Boston Connor feels about this particular team.

Yeah, I mean, if Boston loses this series, I think Tatum and Brown both end up hurt. There's no way they lose this series. This team is put in position to be Eastern Conference champions, and they play to get to finals. They haven't had a lot of success the last couple years.

So losing in the second round to Minnesota, I mean, excuse me, to Cleveland would definitely be a letdown for them. It'll be a letdown season. And that's the furthest thing that's going to happen with Boston. They got those thugs on their team. They're trying to win this championship and they focused on that. So they're not going to stop the second round. Brad Stevens got executive of the year.

Missoula is over in Boston. Tatum, obviously, going bananas. Porzingis, is he playing? He's got the soleus. The soleus issue. Yeah. I don't know how you big, tall folks don't have more of those injuries. Honestly.

Those ligaments and everything and the tendons, I don't know how more injuries don't. Like Wemby, I don't know how his ligaments work. I don't even know how they're able to be that big that strong that fast let's not talk about wemby there'll be a lot of time to talk about him in the future connor has a question for you stack yeah obviously the clippers once again kind of fell short and it feels like every year we're going to do this with kawai and paul george and then when the playoffs come around unfortunately it seems like kawai will play a game

and then get hurt again what do you think is going to happen with them? Do you think they blow it up? Do you think there's any chance that the Lakers can poach Ty Lue from the Clippers to go over and coach LeBron? You know what? I just said this on our show. I totally agree with you. You blow it all up. This is the perfect year to blow

it all up. You're going into a new arena. Paul can opt out. James is a free agent. You can unload those guys. Paul can paul can opt out james is a free agent you can unload those guys paul can go somewhere else tyloo is a free agent as coach he might go sign somewhere else you can break this team up start you know going into a new arena and try to even try to help get kawhi off but the way this team is going with guys not being able to play you don't know what roster you this team don't even have an identity because you don't know who's going to be on the court so at this point like i said going into a new arena

we're having guys so many guys dealing with contract issues right now i think it's the perfect time to blow it up you got a few young guys that you can keep on your team that could be great pieces going forward but to me i think they blow it up i don't think it goes no further than where it went so far so to describe this era for the clippers obviously we got balmer building an arena with the most amount of toilets in the history of the NBA and obviously him grabbing thighs in press conferences, but will it be remembered as just like health? Is the, nobody played together? Is that how it'll be talked about and why it didn't work, you think? Yeah, I mean, you know, I mean, it just seems like he's more worried about building the arena and being the shit instead of being the shit on the court.

I mean, that's just how I look at it. I mean, no way you should be worried about that arena and all those things when your team is in shambles right now. You know, there's no way they can get back or even get to the championship level with this team right now. The identity is fractured and there's no way you can repair it. Is it because they're all hurt? Is that why? Is it just like timing of the injuries? Why do you think the team is the way it is?

Because I remember how hyped I was. Kawhi, Paul George, L.A., here we go. We got a potential huge deal happening for these Clippers fans, and then now it just doesn't work. And any time I turn it on, it feels like one or all are not playing. Is that just how you get it? It sucks, Pat. No identity. Like, you play.

How long does it take a team to have an identity? It don't take three, four years to find an identity. If you ain't find no identity at this point, you won't. Yeah, agreed. Well, good luck rebuilding that over there. Good luck. Hey, the West is easy. The West is easy, too.

You got a lot of toilets. Go ahead, Ty. With the way that Minnesota has been playing this whole year, and especially in the playoffs, a lot of people are talking about Ant, and then the comparison with young Jordan has come up, with some people saying, hey, that's ridiculous. Don't go there. And then some people say, well, actually, if you look at him,

he's more polished than Jordan was when he was this young. Do you think that's a fair comparison saying, hey, this guy plays like Jordaners? Is that mostly just kind of his demeanor and the way he approaches the game? It's definitely his demeanor and the way he approaches the game. We've seen when Kobe was the face of the league, when he was a star, how he played on both he approaches the game. We've seen when Kobe was the face of the league, when he was a star, how he played on both ends of the court. Now in the game

you have so many guys that are good at one thing. One guy's good at shooting. One guy's good at rebounding. One guy's good at setting screens. One guy's good at passing. Ant is the star that we want to see because we've seen Kobe go out and score 40 points and at the game take challenges and go guard the best player. You want to see because we've seen Kobe go out and score 40 points

and at the game take challenges and go guard the best player. You want to see that from the face of the league. You want to see that from the guy, the star player of the league, and he's playing on both ends of the floor, and that's the basketball we all love. We didn't love basketball. It was just a high-scoring game. You compete on both ends of the court, and when the best guy that's playing, the best guy in the league is playing that way, it's very exciting.

So it's all comparison to jordan and colby i don't think it's for is uh is the game wise yeah we all shoot fadeaways and they might look the same but the way his approach to the game is definitely colby and jordan is yeah i like his his mentality it's just like anybody can get it obviously we talked about john morant with that whenever he was dunking on everybody but anthony it feels like in any sport, anytime, anybody can get it. And it's that type of mentality that I think a lot of us other athletes respect and appreciate, which is why Kevin Durant laughing while he's doing it. Because it's like, yeah, sports needs guys like this to continue to exist, I think personally.

Now, I think Darius is going to ask you a question about defense here in a second. But for me, Joker's going to be able to figure out this team. Denver's going to be able to figure them out. Is that what we assume is going to take place? Well, I'm never counting the Joker out. I'm never counting the Joker out. He's figured everybody out up until this point. They ought to defend the champions,

and I think Coach Malone is great at making adjustments. But Joker is still the guy. He's going to figure Rudy Gobert out. He's going to figure that offense out. I think this game is definitely going seven, you know, but Joker is definitely going to come back the next game and make a statement on it. That's what I feel like whenever you watch the Nuggets,

because remember, we're just introducing them in the playoffs because they were never on TV in the West before because there's so many. The Clippers are one of the storylines. Golden State, L.A., let alone everything else happening. Phoenix was cooking. It's like the Nuggets were never on TV for us over here in Indiana or even East.

So once we learn about them in the playoffs, it's like, oh, this team is like a high school college team seemingly, and they can figure it out. Excited to watch. Speaking of defense aside, DeButt's got a question for you, Stat. Yeah, Stat, you kind of mentioned as soon as you jumped on defense and like you've been one of those guys who was a pillar on that defense side of the ball you know it takes a lot of communication just like in football who is that best team right now left in the playoffs on the defensive end that

you think cannot carry into a championship there's no question minnesota or they'd be one of the best all year you know they got guys that take pride in. When you have a team, when you have three or four guys on the court, you got Rudy Gobert. He takes pride in it because he wanted to be defensive player of the year every year. He's the anchor of that defense. We just talked about Anthony Edwards.

He takes pride not only scoring 40 points, but he's going to want to go out the best player in the game. Then you got all the young guys that's coming off the bench. They're slowly coming into the game. Nas Reed, sixth man of the year. You got all these guys that's coming off the bench. They're slowly coming into the game. Nas Reed, sixth man of the year. You got all these guys that's coming in. They're slowly bringing that energy on the defensive end and it's making them successful on offense. But this team,

this Minnesota team is definitely the best defensive team right now in the league. If Ant wins one. Oh, that'd be early. That'd be scary. He's 22. Think about the amount of money. Oh. Because he's a great actor. Yeah'll be scary. He's 22. Think about the amount of money. Oh. Because he's a great actor.

Great, great. We've already seen that. What was that? Hustle. Hustle, yeah. He was phenomenal. I don't even think I knew who he was, and then I watched the movie. I'm like, this guy's an actual player. That's great. Because he was better than... Bo Cruz. Yeah, the Bo Cruz.

Yeah. I love a good shit-talker. Big shit-talker. Yeah, the Bo Cruz. Yeah, absolutely. I love a good shit talker. Yes. Big shit talker. Yeah, I like his mocks. Yeah. Yeah. What's it called?

A competitive juice or something is how some people try to describe it. It's like he's a dog. Yes. And it's 2024. Point blank. Point blank. Yeah, in this world of like, hey, we're friends. We play video games at night together.

We don't really do anything. It's like Ann Edwards lives like it's 1999. Hey, Pat, you got dogs, then you got dogs off the leash. Anthony Edwards is a dog off the leash. Mike Tyson was a dog off the leash. Yes. Adam Silver's like, hey,

can we at least have some sort of pen that we're running in? Can we say the last question here of pen that we're running in? Can we say it? The last question here Tone has for you, Stack. Yeah, obviously the biggest story off the court with teams that are not left in the playoff is the Lakers' head coaching job. What do you think about that? Do you think there's a best fit as far as LeBron at this point in his career

and who fits with him? Because, I mean, at this point there's two years left. I know he's looking for another ring. is there a fit that you think's best uh i actually don't man i mean braun has done everything he can do as a basketball player you know everybody has respect for lebron i just don't like how the the blame always ends up on the coach how many coaches has he has he's been there you know i mean championship. Like, when I was in the league, the star players always took the blame when we lost or when we get knocked out of the playoffs. Just as much as they take the credit when we win championships

and when we knock teams off. So, it shouldn't be no different here. You know what I mean? How many times are you going to blame the coach for the teams not having success? AD had a great playoffs, but he didn't show up in the fourth quarter in the clutch minutes. You know what I'm saying? Braun made some bad plays in the clutch minutes.

So the star players have to take the same blame as the credit they take when they win. So I don't put the blame on Coach Hamm. I think he did a great job. I think he did a great job of what he was dealing with. But at the same time, anybody that goes into that situation with Braun, whatever coach, there's going to be a situation where

they're probably 75-50% in control. Because as you see, he's going to have his imprint on the team, and it has been working. So what coach can actually come in there and make it be different? There's videos being released of him grabbing the dry race board during timeouts, too. Yeah, you can't do that.

I mean, if it's J. hey, if it's JJ Redick, they're doing that for podcasts right now. They're practicing. I don't know who it's going to be, but if you don't win with LeBron, you're gone. That seemingly. Or even if you do. That's what it is.

Yeah. Hey, Frankie Vogel won in that bubble. He got sent out. Speaking of winning, speaking of winning, I just want to let you know, I see your jersey and your hat. It's the Fever's era, brother. Okay. The F no hey well you know what I'm with you I'm with you I'm just wearing I'm buying all the WNBA jerseys for all teams I'm not supporting not what team I'm supporting all of them so I got to get one of those you got on too hey us hey we are as well we're season ticket holders we're getting involved We think it's a great sport, honestly.

And here in Indiana, what Kaitlin Clark is going to do for the local community is huge. She already lightened them up. Yes. Yeah. And step backs, fate. I mean. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I think it's going to work. I think it's going to work. I think it's going to work. All right, Stack. We appreciate the hell out of you, man. All the time, my brother. Hey, what's the boxing podcast that you're doing?

Fight Towns is back. All the Smoke Productions, Fight Towns, DraftKings Network. Hell yeah. Well, we appreciate it. Can't wait to listen. Ladies and gentlemen, Stephen Jackson. Thank you. That's NBA champ right there.

Hell yeah. NBA champ right there. I've known him since back in Indiana, obviously, when he had a lot of ties here for a while. He got involved in that. They fought. Oh, yeah, he was there. Yeah. The malice.

Yeah. But like people in Indiana love him. And if you listen to his side of it, it's like one of my guys. And it's just like, that's who I am. And obviously he went through a lot after that, tried to learn a lot about life and everything. And always been good to me. He has always been very good to me me including in clubs back in the day you know and i potentially was the only

human uh that looked like me in some places he was always great to me and i like what he said there about supporting all the w teams yeah let's grow this league 78 000 bucks what bad that's the salary that's what c what Kaitlin Clark's getting paid It's like that needs to Especially in the world of sport You know like in the world of sport Especially whenever we have some of these nights Where there isn't a good game on

It's like this is a good product this is a good sport Yeah let's go ahead and make sure We have stuff to watch that's incredible every single night And what Kaitlin Clark is already doing I hate to break it to you, Aces. Listen, we're fans of the Aces. Of course. Kelsey Plum, friend of the program.

Yeah. Friend of the program. Big fan. Yes. They got stars over there in championships. Aja Wilson. There's a... Aja, best in the league.

Absolutely. Best in the league. For now. For now. There's a problem in Indiana, okay? And it's... What was going on in college seemingly is about to happen again. I know that not

the greatest defender maybe in the entire league was Gardner, but there's a blender happening when 22 has the rock so far. Now, everybody's saying, we'll see whenever she plays. She's only going to get better too. A little pocket pass. I think she's only going to get better, too. So, like, there's a little pocket pass.

Boom. I think she's going to be great. Oh, yeah. No doubt. I think she's going to be, like, really good. Yeah. And everything we've been. Could you imagine?

We have a parade downtown. Oh, God. Because of the fever. Now, the Colts obviously knocking on, knocking on, knocking on heaven's door. Sure, sure. When it comes to Lombos. Hit for Super Bowl. Super Bowl. Yeah, you know what I mean? AR5. Gardner Minshew

got us to the playoffs last year. Now, guy didn't catch the ball, doesn't score, so we don't actually make it, but he was there. We have that whole thing happen. Pacers. Tyrese Halliburton, they're going to knock off the stupid knickerbockers. I'm going to tell you that right now. The Knicks are done because

the Hicks are coming to town and about to wipe the floor. We're talking Indianapolis being known as parade town for maybe the next 10 years with what we have going on in basketball and football. And Bruce, I know you're all zeked up about this

Knicks team. Big body Benson is going to whatever. Tyrese Halliburton is about to go bananas. Parades are Benson's going to, whatever. Tyrese Halliburton's about to go bananas. Parades are coming to Indy, pal. No, no, no. Halliburton's going to jail tonight. He might get his 18, but he's not going to get his 10 assists.

What does that mean? Fired up for O.G. Ananobi on Pascal Siakam as well. That'll be a great matchup. Should be a fun series. Defense versus offense. Rebounding versus show you know, showy assists. They're not getting – Tyrese Halliburton's not getting locked up tonight. Showy assists? What's that supposed to mean?

Yeah, he – what he's trying to do right now is deflect. He's going to look one way, pass it the other way. We'll be rebounding all night. Okay. All right. Bruce is all jacked up because they got the Rangers-Knicks every other night. Oh, yeah. Just like Boston has Bruins-Celtics every other night.

Next week. Two very easy-to-deal-with cities of sports fans have both playoffs right now, seemingly just on the ropes. That's great for all of us, isn't it, Connor? I mean, it's fantastic, especially when you look at those NBA championship odds. I have not seen this until right now. If you're not betting on the Nuggets or Timberwolves, you're an asshole. That's just me.

It's a wonderful time of year. This is for a Celtics fan, of course, but even just as a sports fan, being able to watch meaningful playoff basketball, playoff hockey, now that we're past this first round, it really does kind of get to a different stratosphere when it comes to playoff sports. Hell yeah. We'll continue to talk about the playoffs for the next hour or so.

Jeremy Swayman, goalie for the Boston Bruins. Hell yeah. Bruins! Nice. That was pretty good. There it is. Thank you. That's real talent.

Thank you. I appreciate that. Fuck Swayman! Wow. 95% save percentage. Pretty good. 14 you. I appreciate that. Fuck saving Swayman. Bars. Wow. 95% save percentage. That's pretty good. 145 shots he's seen. You do some quick math with a calculator, you can figure out how many saves he had.

Six games played, four wins. What a stud. What an absolute stud. Join Timmy Thomas. You hear that same legend, Timmy Thomas. That's good stuff. Yeah, Timmy Thomas is beloved in New England, just like Swayman. Just real quick, Swayman, too, last series with the playing for Bruins

in the middle of the Maple Leafs series. He said, yeah, I'm seeing the puck good. I would like to keep playing. And then he went on to do just that. Can't wait to see his Moxie 130 Eastern time. Let's talk about some stuff happening in our sport, in the NFL. J.J. Watt says he could possibly play. I'm about sick of this.

Yeah, bingo. I'm about sick of this. Okay, we love J.J. Watt. Love him. We got a Dick's House of Sports just to pay homage to J.J. Watt. We do. We watch Burnley games, even though sometimes a bit boring, to support J.J. Watt.

We love J.J. Watt. But this was an entire storyline last year. It was. He even went down to Houston, was working out in the Houston Texans facility. It's like, wait a minute. Is he going to sign? And then he would say things like, you know, if a team that I had a connection to had an actual playoff run and they needed somebody, like, I would certainly be available.

They needed somebody. They had an actual playoff run. Won a playoff game. It didn't happen. Then we see him doing some sprints in a park. Just wait a minute. He's still working out every single day as if he's in the league. He's a true psycho. This guy. But now he came out and says this at a softball game which

raised even more money for Houston. The guy is one of the biggest philanthropists in the history of the United States of America. Here's him talking to the media about maybe a future with the Houston Texans. How do you resist, JJ, with all of the names that you listed? Teeth, look at him. D'Amico, obviously you know D'Amico. I haven't played with him.

How do you with the competitor in you? His wrist. Not being that far removed from playing. How do you resist the temptation? Good chuckle, good hat. I mean, I'm a very fortunate and lucky man. I got a beautiful wife. I got a beautiful son. I had 12 great years in this temptation? I'm a very fortunate, lucky man. I've got a beautiful wife. I've got a beautiful son. I've had 12 great years in this league.

I'm very thankful to have walked away healthy and playing great. I told D'Amico last year, I said, don't call unless you absolutely need it. If you ever do call, I'll be there. He knows not to call unless he absolutely needs it.

This is the last year I'll tell him that, because I'm not gonna keep training the way I've been training. But he knows that if he ever truly does need it, I'll be there for him. But I don't know if it's going to happen. They got a very good crew. So you're saying if four defensive ends go down

by week 12, it's a possibility that you're set? I very much don't want that to ever be the case. Yes, I hope that everybody stays extremely healthy and they dominate and they don't need any other bodies. And I just get to watch and enjoy from the couch. He said, let me cover the bases here. I do not want four people to get hurt. I do not want to end up in a situation where I'm called. But I told D'Amico last year, if you need me, call me.

How about D'Amico just being like, all right, JJ. Well, yeah, I don't need you, JJ. Or is it like, hey, guy gets hurt on Friday. Okay. And you need somebody and we can't need him. Kind of wild. I don't need you, JJ. Or is it like, hey, guy gets hurt on Friday, okay, and you need somebody and we can't sign anybody, I'll be there. And if he gets dropped into a game down there in Houston next year, week 15, what if it's against the – I mean, probably will be against the Indianapolis Colts. Could you imagine that stadium with him, C.J. Stroud, Will Anderson,

them all coming out of the tunnel? It would be insane. It would be a Houston Texans wet dream for the Texans fan base. What are your thoughts on it, and how do you think it plays out? I mean, like you said, he's still been training. He's in shape. You can see he still looks great. We talked to him every week last season.

I would love it, especially if he came out red jerseys in that NRG Stadium. Him getting intro last, music with the turn. Yeah, I would love that. He's coming out with two flags, too. Of course. Texans and American flag. Obviously, he's jogging out there. He might have a Burnley one now. No, he'll have the Burnley hat on. We know that. Yeah, exactly. We know he'll have the Burnley hat. It was actually

wild to see him with the JJ hat on instead of the Burnley hat. But I don't know if you guys saw, he was giving away these hats. was he well yeah he's being a super good guy JJ Watt it was actually on my you know the X for you page yeah is different now they're writing like articles yeah full thing instead of just like topics trending yeah yeah it's a it's a new thing and at the top of my for you was JJ Watt does clever charitable hat giveaway on X or something. I'm like, oh, that's cute. Click on it.

Somebody tweeted about how cool his hats were, and he said, this ain't available for everybody, but because you asked, I'll send you one. And somebody said, what about in blue? He said, boom, since you asked, we'll do that. J.J. Watt was just giving hats out like they were pancakes this weekend. This dude can't do wrong. Yeah, boom.

You had almost spot on. DM me the address, and this one's yours because the guy asked for a Houston Texans blue one. Yeah. This guy checks all the – this could be a president of the United States, I think. Exactly. I think J.J. Watt is going to be the president of the United States someday. I'm putting it – I think J.J. Watt is going to be the president of the United States someday. Yeah.

This is real nice, this whole story. And this guy is just looking for votes, to your point. This guy doesn't want to be – this guy doesn't want to play. This is what he's like all the time. We literally talk to him. He's like this all the time. This isn't work for votes. It is now.

This is one of our best humans we have. No, he's looking to be governor of Texas, which, I mean, can you believe him? I don't. But with all that being said – I mean, he lives there. I think he lives in Arizona. Yeah, he wants to move back. I think he very publicly lives in Arizona.

D'Amico Ryan is going to call him back. He's going to jump on that field, run out. It's going to be like a movie, except you want to know what happens when 99 gets on the field? Quentin Nelson's eating his mug, brother. That's what's happening. Yeah, it's been cool. You think JJ's playing tackle?

You think he's down there dancing with a guard? He might have to. What if that's what duty calls for? Is he going to say no to the good people at Houston? I don't think so because then who is he going to vote for? You don't remember. Do you remember what JJ Watt was like when he was mic'd up? Do you remember his mic'd up?

Oh, yeah. He turns into an actual psychopath on the football field. You picked the wrong one! Screaming to people in there. The blood, the whole. All he needs is one game. He'll probably get put in for third downs. So he has what?

13 plays. 14 plays in an entire day, potentially. J.J. Watt, Max Go. I was saying he's just swimming. He's not holding his gap. He's not setting the edge. You're saying he's taking a knee? Oh, no!

You're saying he's going down for a knee? He's only looking for sacks. Look at me! Look at me! You think J.J. Watt's going to miss an opportunity to pick up a sack or a swat? Yeah, right. He's still 6'10", or whatever the hell he is. True.

Point right at his name. There's a photo coming out from Bing. Yeah. That's me. He might run to the other coach and point at him like Gary Bertier. Well, Shane Steichen, smack him right in the mouth. He needs to know. If he's playing Indianapolis, he needs to not get smacked in the mouth from Shane Steichen.

But there was a picture coming from the softball charity game this weekend that JJ's had for I don't know how many years. But Stephon Diggs, Andre Johnson, JJ Watt, and D'Amico Ryans all hanging out, having a laugh. I mean, it's like, you know, the past, the future, and the present of the Houston Texans all in one photo raising money for the great city of Houston. It's a beautiful thing.

Don't call unless you absolutely need it. But if you ever do, call. I'll be there. Says J.J. Wall. Politician ass answer. What are you talking about? I'll be there, man. I'll do it.

No, you won't, J.J. Just shut up and watch your stupid, dumb, bad soccer team stink. They're not bad. They're not getting relegated. They're getting relegated, brother. They got shit kicked by the Newcastle this weekend. Yeah, Newcastle is the worst team in the league. My magpies are very good, brother.

Shit. Hold on. So JJ's team's still in the top division? No, they're fighting relegation right now. They're doing a damn good job trying to get those points, but it's going to be tight. Fighting away. Go get them. They're still in the bottom three right now.

It's not easy. It's the toughest league in the world. I felt bad this weekend. After the MLS. I was going to say. Second toughest league in the world after the MLS, which Messi said. And the Mexico League because the repercussions. League MX? Well, the crowds, for And the Mexico League because the repercussions. League MX.

Well, the crowds, for sure. Those are tough videos to watch. There's been a lot more of those on my ex. A lot more. There's videos of people just dying. Yeah, creepy.org. Can we stop that? No, it's good. You need to remind people every once in a while. This could happen to you. See, I do

fear that that is the actual thought on why I'm allowed to see these videos. But I'd like to counter that with saying, I don't need that in my life. No, no. I don't need that in my life. I've already got enough problems. You know, we're already trying to figure life out. I don't need to see other people dying.

No, absolutely not. And there used to be a code on the internet. I don't know if we talked about this a couple of times. Yeah, no dead bodies. There used to be like a code on the internet. Like if the video has somebody dying in it, it's not like we're not doing this. Now it's just like, you want to see a a dead body and then it's your algorithms right here there's websites for that stuff and it's not on x that x is not the website for dead bodies okay that's ebom's

world or whatever i agree yep if you want to go find that okay you gotta go to a special place you're right not my for you bombs world throwback what did you guys did you did Did the black community know About E-bombs world This is news to me First time I just Probably something I probably don't want to know about Worldstar obviously had a massive run E-bombs world had a

It was Nick's homepage Now my phone's listening so I'm sure it'll pop up I don't know if it's still in days There's no way E-bomb's world is still. Oh, it has to be. Is he a beheading or something? This would be terrible, terrible news. Oh, shit.

We see that on E-bomb's world. That's what I'm saying. That's what we're talking about. No trigger warning or nothing. E-bomb's world just doesn't work. E-bomb. Yeah, wow. Sound boards.

What is this? Frank. That's Frank from Louisiana. Yep. Frank had a tough day. He just was scrolling E-bombbonds and got fired because of it. Look, they got a tab for clean humor. Yeah, but, you know.

Let's check out funny photos. I assume one thing leads to another. Let's check out funny photos. I remember Flash Toons. I haven't heard of that one either. Who? Flash Toons. Ah, man.

See, listen. This is what we're talking about. This is what we need talking about. This is what we need not algorithms into our life is whatever those are potentially leading to. The internet was abuzz last night. Not only

because Game 7, Vegas Night Stars, but because the greatest roast of all time happened. And whenever you're saying groat, you know, you could be thinking greatest raffle of all time, which we had a few years back to a DVD, I do believe, that we created, a baseball one, where we raffled off a bunch of things. Always

thought adding things in there with Ode at the end, good marketing. So when I saw greatest roast of all time being marketed, I'm like, thank God, here we go. Because the groat is a beautiful thing to kind of pitch, especially if you're going to get actual goats to kind of get roasted. Tom Brady signing up for last night.

Hey, way to go, Tommy. Let's go, Tom. Cold decision. The sport. The force. I mean, Crypto Crash. The Fight Gate. Alex Guerrero.

I mean, TB12 shit. A lot of Jiu-Jitsu. Yeah. A lot of that. Jiu-Jitsu, yeah. AB got mentioned. Yeah, I mean, there's so many. So many things that he could get picked apart, and he definitely did.

So him signing up for it is incredible. I think Jeff Ross was a massive piece of putting it together. Seemingly, everybody thanked Jeff Ross whenever they were doing their thing. But what a night and what a performance by numerous people. I really sat there for three hours listening to people do comedy. That hasn't happened in forever. Shout out to the entire event, I think, Con Man. Yeah, very cool.

And obviously as a Patriots fan, it was even heightened to the extent because you're seeing Rob Kraft, you're seeing Bill Belichick, Edelman, all those guys do their little jokes. I honestly, you mentioned Ben Affleck, watching back some of the Gronk stuff, I thought Gronk was pretty, pretty funny. Yes. I really did. I thought he was awesome in the roast. And like we mentioned, there was a chance that a lot of these guys get up there

and they just completely blow it. But it was cool to see like Gronk go up. And yeah, we have this. Gronk was called dumb no less than a thousand times. In very creative fashion. Speaking of creative, Gronk said, I'm creative, even though everybody thinks I'm a big dumb dipshit up here.

He talked about it. Here's one of his jokes about Tom Brady. I didn't even know you were in Ted 2. I was watching that scene when a tiny furry bear started jerking you off. At least I think it was Ted 2. It might have just been security cam footage of Julian at your house. tiny furry bear started jerking you off. At least I think it was Ted too. It might have just been security cam footage of Julian at your house.

A lot of that. A lot of that. Oh, I like that one. I'm creative. You guys all think I'm a dumb piece of fucking shit. If you go back to that photo. Hey, everybody needs to know though. Like, I thought when Gronk was walking up there, I was like, man, I don't know how this is going to go.

Me neither. I didn't know how it was going to go. Just as a fan of Gronk, and I understand there's people that are not fans of Gronk, and I understand there's people that are massive fans of Gronk. I am a fan of Gronk. Like, I enjoy him being him in every single setting. Now, some settings, I think he would even say, Gronk not I enjoy him being him in every single setting. Now, some settings, I think he would even say, Gronk not supposed to be here. This is not where

Gronk is supposed to be. So him walking up there, I'm like, I have no idea how this is going to go. If it doesn't go good, people are going to kill. For sure. People are going to kill Gronk on the internet. I started watching, I'm like, at a baby Gronk. And then Gronk even complimented himself a couple times, I wrote that joke. It's like, well, Gronk, hey, Fabier.

These are all your jokes, Gronk. There's Gronk even complimented himself a couple times. I wrote that joke. It's like, well, Gronk, Kay Fabier. These are all your jokes, Gronk. There's a lot of people writing for a lot of people. One person I don't think had any rights, Bill Belichick, showed up. Here's a little Bill Belichick chit-chatting from last night's greatest roast of all time. Gronk, I've been watching you on Fox NFL Sunday, and I'm begging you, please, stop doing your job. Do another job. Do somebody else's job. He was obviously playing off of the do your job phrase that has got the Patriots, the dynasty.

Here's another moment, though, of Bill Belichick being a babyface con man. And I saw a lot of people on the internet obviously saying, it's the first time I've seen this guy smile. He sat down on the dais, had a drink, got cooked. He had a big time night. Bill Belichick babyface run continues. Yeah, last night was, if anything, just the confirmation like, oh, this is a bummer.

We're never going to see Bill Belichick coach again. Because he could do eight different avenues after these last couple weeks. He had a little promo before with Bledsoe and Belichick coach again. Because he could do eight different avenues after these last couple weeks. He had a little promo before with Bledsoe and Belichick. And Brady, where he was talking about time to get out there or whatever. And he was fantastic start to finish. Belichick almost stole the show again. And then Robert Kraft was there.

And Kevin Hart actually called for Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft to have a toast, a cheers, have a drink. Kevin Hart, phenomenal job setting that up. I mean, it happened. It happened. It did. It was good. It happened.

Look right there. Clearly see it. Clearly see it. Cheers. Way to go. Big smiles. Hatchet buried. I don't think that was the case.

What's that? What? What'd you say? The internet said, like, you know, good to see them bury the hatchet. I don't know if that's what it looked like to me. What are you talking about? That wasn't Bill's choice of shot, okay? Bill was forced into doing that.

No. Well, certainly. He got up so quick. He wanted no part of that. It's going to take a little bit more than some fake-ass cheers of a shot to bury the hatchet. I did appreciate when Kraft said he's the greatest coach of all time because Bill's probably like, and? Keep going. G, G, who built the teams?

Hey, Robert, who made you a billionaire? Hey, who made you the most successful owner in the history of the NFL? Hey, who built teams? Who coached teams? Now, Tom Brady had an incredible line about who was to blame or who was to boast to get the credit for winning the Super Bowls and obviously Bill Belichick ended his set by saying it was both of us because of me because he's the one who drafted yeah Tom Brady at pick 199 so like you know that's a hilarious angle and I don't know who chatted with Bill about what he was going to say but at

the end uh of Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick's speeches, you know, they have to address whose fault it was, who wasn't it. And then Tom Brady takes a swing at the end and says, when I watch the Indy 500, does anybody ask the winning driver, you know, hey, who put the gas in your car? You know, nobody thinks about the people that aren't on the field who actually win races. So Tom Brady had a little heel at the end. But I thought he crushed it at the very end of the evening as well. Here's Tom Brady talking about, you know, the absence of Roger Goodell in one of the asterisks on the biggest Patriots dynasty. We got so many great football greats here tonight. Great football greats. But where's Roger Goodell? Mood louder than Kim Kardashian.

I know. Remember Deflategate? The NFL spent $20 million and found that it was more probable than not that I was generally aware that someone may have deflated my footballs. You could have just given me the $20 million and I would have just told you I fucking did it. Robert Kraft. Just jokes.

It was a fantastic night. Julian Edelman also crushed. Drew Bledsoe did well. Nikki Glaser made a lot of new fans. I think my wife is a fan of Nikki Glaser. I got introduced to Nikki Glaser last night. of new fans. I think my wife is a fan of Nikki Glaser. I got introduced to Nikki Glaser last night. What a performance. Andrew Schultz crushed the two Bears.

Provided an incredible break, I do believe, in the middle of the action. Ron Burgundy showed up. Peyton showed up. Bill Belichick showed up. Randy Moss was out. It was very, very, very well done. They should be taking a victory lap today. It was very, very well done. Gronk did a great job but you could tell in this photo

everyone else is smiling having a good time he's thinking everyone does think I'm a big yeah well there was a time after a shot was had by Gronk Tom and Bill together because Gronk said he's known him for 11 years don't know anything about him I've never actually even had a drink with him now they're on the boats in Tampa I believe pretty intoxicated. Obviously it was just a joke talking about it. Then they do a shot, they do a shot and Gronk in Gronk fashion. First, he opened a box to do the shot that had the ring in it that Kevin Hart was gonna give to Tom Brady at the end of the night.

And Kevin Hart I'd say no, not that box Tom, or Gronk. And then he also told him to sound it out whenever he was reading through the teleprompter. I mean, there was quite a few of those moments. But he gets the vodka or whatever, tequila, and then Gronk spikes it. And, yep, bang. And if you're listening, it was like, oh, that was glass. You thought it was maybe plastic. That was a glass shot, obviously, with how nice everything was.

And it was a throwback to the old school roast with how nice and how uppity seemingly everything was. It was like a big to-do to be on the dais and to get roasted. And I appreciate them bringing back like the Dean Martin days, the Rat Pack days. That's what it felt like as you were watching there. But that was glass and allegedly somebody, you know, just like whenever Gallagher's hitting watermelon. That's right.

And they give those tarps to cover the first three rows. Should have done that for the glass with Rob Gronkowski. But other than that, perfect night. Great vibes. Great vibes. Drew Bledsoe, too, came out swinging. Awesome. Awesome.

I like that everybody plugged their shit. Drew Bledsoe plugged his wine and his Cabernet in the middle of doing his jokes. Julian Edmund plugged the podcast. You know, I think Dana White was in there. Dana White got 60 seconds. He was pumped about that. Yeah. Good joke.

What was the joke? What's that? What? I didn't see it, so I didn't know what the joke was. Well, he told 60 seconds worth of jokes. The first one, though, people certainly heard. Yeah. People certainly heard. Why he only got 60. Self-deprec though, people certainly heard. Yeah. People certainly heard.

Why he only got 60. Just self-deprecating, having fun with his own name. You know. Ah. Okay. Goody. That's how I took it. In L.A.

Yeah. I mean, he came out swinging pretty strong. But there was a lot. There was a lot said last night. Yeah, sure. In the name of comedy. There was a lot said last night in the name of comedy. And I know that there is times where people kind of can't see

the line between humor and hate. Okay. I think if it is described in a lane of humor, I think people should try to give it their best. If the joke sucks, joke sucks, but all they're trying to do is make people laugh. So I understand if you get mad at it, but I think there had become a time where there was not enough like, oh, this is humor. This is just hate, hate, hate. Last night felt like a big time fight back on like, nah, the intentions here are to make people laugh, not the complete opposite. It's an interesting time. We're in the middle of right now.

Yeah, I mean, I understand everyone's way more sensitive now than they were, you know, 10, 15 years ago. But like you mentioned, like this is going back to the previous roast. If you go back now and watch the roast of Bob Saget or Bieber, that stuff was on Comedy Central. It was on TV. You know what I mean? It's wildly inappropriate, obviously, but that's why it's for a specific audience.

It's not for kids. It's for people who can understand, hey, while some of this is very, very, very mean-spirited. Offensive. Potentially to some. Offensive, yeah. I guess mean-spirited isn't the right way to say it,

although some things are definitely mean-spirited. But Brady, he agreed to do it. He knew that this was – it's not like people are just going to go up there and kind of pat him on the back and tell him how great he is the whole time. That's not what these events are. It's to make people laugh. I'll tell you then it was a big deal we need it as a society everything always goes that was a big deal we needed it that was a big deal last night i think and i think we all kind of saw it that way yeah for sure we needed i think as a society and that's what

comedians do that's what comedians do uh you know some of the best truth tellers and obviously you got to push the envelope you're going to offend some people that's kind of the point of it too like hey whatever get over it. But I think it was good all around. I enjoyed it. Good piece. Hey, it was a good piece of content. It was.

It was. Jordan's up now. Yeah, Michael Jordan's got to go next. That kind of sucks. Hey, listen, because you're great, you had to commit your entire life to something. Okay? While doing it, you were ridiculed and mocked and picked apart. And you got paid very well, so you're lucky to do it.

You'll be remembered forever, obviously. But congratulations. Now you also have to sit here and let some of the most talented prick brains piece together the worst things that you have ever done and are. Congratulate your goat. Yeah. You did it. Costume business.

Tom Brady did it. It's going to be really funny. Tom Brady. Oh, you're more famous. Okay. You're more popular. Okay. Than Tom Brady did it. It's going to be really funny. Tom Brady. Oh, you're more famous. Okay. You're more popular. Okay. And Tom Brady.

Okay. Is that right? Why don't you have a seat here and let Jeff Ross do his thing. What a wizard with words. Oh, my God. Unbelievable. I mean, just think. Our former president has been roasted before on TV.

So, J.J. Watt needs one. Okay. Don't set it. been roasted before on TV. So J.J. Watt needs one. Okay! Oh! Interrupting their playlist to talk about Defying Gravity, are we? That's right, Newton. With a Bronco in Bronco Sport, gravity has met its match. Huh. Maybe that apple hit me a little harder

than I thought. Yeah, you should get that checked out. With standard 4x4 capability, Broncos keep going up and up. Now get up to $6,000 in rebates on eligible 2024 Bronco family models. Visit your Toronto area Ford store or Ford.ca. Fantastic weekend, not only on the court and on the ice, but on a dais in a roast in Los Angeles. I'm not alone here because there was horses that were racing. There were cars that were racing.

There was magic to be chatted about, and I couldn't do it by myself. The Talks at the Table was here at Boston Corner and at Ty Schmidt. Love the shirt. Thank you very much. I mean, we were all pretty locked in on the white buffalo woman prophecy that was fulfilled on April 25th. Of course, the Lakota people, we were very happy for them all and pumped that things are turning around, it sounds like. Yeah, one in every 10 million bison that are born are albino.

And a white buffalo has been born in Kansas. Whoa. Yep. That's right. It's a prophecy of the Lakota people. Others, like the Comanche in Navajo, also see it as a sign of things changing in the world Better times coming The National Bison Association says it is about 1 in 10 million

So here we go It's pretty rare The bison said it would So we got good stuff taking place We got people coming together more so than ever The universe told me that last week Whenever we drain one shot out of like 40 One half of the hammer

White bison here we go Southern ever. The universe told me that last week. Whenever we drain one shot out of like 40. One half of the hammer. Cowboys 10 digs here. White bison. Here we go. That's huge. Gotta make sure that thing lives. What do you mean? That thing, there's no chance. There's no chance that it doesn't live. No, but I'm saying if it happens, eat one of those seeds that are being forced into some of these fields. Oh, it's fine. That thing is impervious

to all. Oh, boy. If that thing dies. It's not. I don't know why. Yeah, I didn't even think about that possibility. There isn't a possibility. Heartbroken. Heartbroken. This is like whenever that little bastard comes out of the hole in Punxsutawney. Yeah. He says, guess what? Life sucks for another

six weeks. It's like, why don't you go back in your hole, you little bastard? I guess it had kids. Really? Phil and Pam. Phil and his wife. Phil and Pam had kids. The Punxsutawney's? Yeah, well, Punxsutawney's a town. I don't know his last name. Phil Rat maybe? No, Phil's his last name, actually.

Anyways, let's take care of this bison. We need it. They're going to put this thing in a crate and send it to a zoo, so we'll be just fine. That's not true. No, we can't do that. We'll be just fine. This thing has wings and can fly away if it needs to. This thing is a mythical creature. You get one in 10 million. Hey, you think the San Diego Zoo isn't saying, all right, we'll give you $100 million.

No, it was born on lands where you're not allowed to do that. They don't give a shit. No, they do. They don't care. They can't lock this. If they lock this thing up, then it's the opposite of the prophecy. That means the worst shit can happen. Just real quick.

Let's not think about what could be. Okay. Let's think about what we know right now. And I'm part of the problem. I'm already thinking about him potentially getting, or she getting potentially poisoned. I don't need to think like that. This thing's good.

This thing's going to live a long, strong life. Great story. Don't clone it. This thing might actually race in the Kentucky Derby. It could. Might be so fast. Might be the most athletic. This thing was just part of a great weekend,

and you just mentioned part of that great weekend. Guess what's back for I don't know, what did I say was the greatest racing that could potentially happen? Sports that you could rub and race. Okay? There was a couple races this weekend that ended with a little rubbing, and that's why they're the greatest races on planet Earth.

Obviously, we'll talk about the Kentucky Derby in a matter of moments, but what you're chatting about right now is NASCAR. Yes, we'll talk about the Kentucky Derby part of that, but I think what you were talking about also is NASCAR. Kyle Larson wins in the closest margin of victory in the history of NASCAR. And it's not just the finish that's like this. It was magical.

He rams the 17 car coming in. He comes all the way down, almost pit maneuver. Yeah, can you imagine IndyCar trying to do that? They would break in half. Okay. Hold on. There's different maneuvers, okay, that IndyCar drivers can utilize that don't involve. He submarine, he torpedoed down into this car.

They hit. They finish in the closest finish in the history of NASCAR. Ooh. He thought he lost. Man. So he came from second, comes crashing in they they finished obviously he did a whole three quarters of a lap thinking he lost he wasn't until he was told like hey we want this entire thing Kyle Larson picks up another dub in NASCAR you're right tone in a weekend filled with awesome yeah certainly was a part of the story boy did I want that black car 17 to win.

Damn it! I mean, fair enough. Damn it! The black car? Yeah, the black one right there. I thought you were a big Kyle Larson guy. Nah. Why?

Not my guy. You're talking about the black car up there? Good race. You're talking about the black car? Yeah, the black car. Now that you say that, it is funny that he attacked that car. I mean, it was a good move. It was Kyle Larson's driver, but you're right. 17 was presumed the winner immediately after the race finished.

But instead, Kyle Larson gets another dub. He'll be doing the double, the Indy 500 and the Charlotte 600 coming up here at the end of the month. 1,100 miles. He's got to be racing one day. I assume when he gets in any car, he's going to learn some new moves. Speaking of another racing that has not been chatted about nearly enough, G1 this weekend down there in Miami. Congratulations.

Darius Day Butler, our expert, was boots on the ground down there. How was the race? Somebody other than Max won. That means good. Yeah, finally Max Verstappen did not win. It was a great race, though. Got a little lucky, which you need in motorsport. You need it racing with the timing of the safety car because we had an accident.

We had some rubbing. Logan Sargent, our one American-born driver, got flipped over. What? What's the problem? What? What's the problem? It worked in favor. I didn't know there was an American car.

We say prolific in the EPL. Bingo, and they're just going cleats up on him. Yeah, not passing the ball. It's because they were just pissed that the Hulkster went down there and stole the show. That's all anyone was talking about was Hulk. Holy shit. What did he say? He said, listen, nobody gives a damn about F1, dude.

Okay, you want to see these 22-inch pythons? Come here, Mahomes. Come here, Tom Cruise. Come here, anybody else that's famous. Come take a picture with the Hulkster. We're all the Hulkamaniacs now. He said that? Pretty much, yeah. Every picture I saw

from Hulk's Twitter, just celeb after celeb after celeb after celeb. They're all waiting in line to take pictures with the Hulk. And hold on, did he pump? Was he wearing a karaoke shirt? Because I know Hulk beach karaoke on Monday nights. I think he's just kind of assumed,

hey, if you're coming in contact with the Hulkster, don't forget Hogan's Hangout Monday night, dude. You can sing the first song. I'm going to sing the second and the third, but you can sing the first. Brother. All right. So we had boots on the ground down there.

All the celebs were out. Patrick Mahomes did the coolest thing out of the whole damn weekend down in Miami. How'd he do that? This guy's just fresh out of a hangover I would assume guys living and celebrating his life he turned heel the other week on raw now he's looking at camera going I'm Patrick Mahomes we know throwing it in the second level what he called fresh into the building that's what Patrick Mahomes does that was the coolest thing that happened all week that was pretty cool it was kind of kind a duck, but he's a part owner. Part owner in that team.

Him and Kelsey. It was a duck, wasn't it? Good to see. It was a little duck. That thing that's on Victor's side was sick. He's probably a little boozed up. He's boozed up. In the wind.

And his glasses are so cool. Too tight. That's why he unbuttoned the top one. No warm-up. Impressive. God, how does he do it, man? That's impressive. Jeez.

How does he freaking do it? This guy, the GOAT status is just climbing. Britt wasn't impressed. Mind blown. Well, Britt, he's seen Patrick do a lot of amazing things. He's hit hole ones at the house. He's also hit an aerial shot. Speaking of big-time weekend moments, we had boots on the ground at G1 with D-Butch.

Thank you for going, D. And then we had boots on the ground, obviously, diner in Kentucky for a derby that had a little controversy at the end, but a winner that we can all get behind with the name in Mystic Dan. Now, Bear was on the show on Friday. All of his picks were in the bottom ten.

The one he really liked, the one he really liked, just to touch, I guess lost by 53 lengths. Really? Is that a record? We shouldn't just judge Bear by that. We should judge by the vibes that he gave off about the Derby weekend. Sure.

Let's chat with our journalist that we had down there. He's a college football national champion, a Super Bowl champion, a Ryder Cup winner, and a man who is the current president of Ohio. Loves the Derby. AJ Hawk. Yeah, okay. Hawker, D-Butch was down there at F1 paying $180 for nachos. You were down there hanging out with Kid Rock and the boys at the Kentucky Derby.

How was the weekend? And I think the race was amazing, right? That's exactly what you guys were down there for. Yeah, the main Derby race was awesome. There was some controversy. And I've been to one race where it went under review, and then they changed it and gave the victory to somebody else. I thought that might happen this time. I've been watching.

I'm upset I didn't get to hang out with the Hulkster. The Hulkster sounds like he had a great time. G1? F1? What are we doing? Changing the name? G1 sounds so much better. I don't know what passed. Formula 1, F1, Pinnacle Motorsport. G1 sounds so much better. Why is it Formula?

G1 is pretty much better. It's the formula. G1 is pretty sick. It is. You're just trying to change the name? You're going from Twitter to X here, but you're just doing it? Sorry about it. I'm on board. I'm with it. It's just one letter. You can accidentally mess that one up.

Every time I say it, go to say F, it just goes right to the next letter in the alphabet. No one gives a shit about the sport anyways. Whoa! Londo! Guy started 110 races. Look, I am over the moon for Londo. I could barely sleep last night. I was so jacked up for him, but no one gives a damn. Alright, let's talk about Mystic Dan, shall we? Ladies and gentlemen, the voice of

Churchill Dons, the man that is called I don't know how many in a row, but every year I listen to his call back. Not a single flub. No. None. 75 horses names he's got to know because they can come from nowhere. The one that we didn't think could win is going to win. Long shots everywhere. We've got to know the odds.

We've got to know how far back. Furlign, it's phenomenal. One of the greatest orators I've ever heard. Ladies and gentlemen, Travis Stone. Yeah, Travis. Appreciate that. Thank you. Hey, it's really impressive. No flubs the entire time around, and you're using binoculars.

So I have binoculars at the house so I can bird watch, and we got a snake now down at the pond. Oh, no. This snake's boning, too, with other snakes. So, you know, it's not good. We're about to have a full, going to need a snake wrangler ASAP. But binoculars are not easy to see at. And this guy's watching an entire race and calling it with a field that is so wide open.

Travis, how'd you get into this? And do you feel like midday, like, oh, I'm in a zone? Like, is every day the same for you? How'd you get into this? And why do you think you are so good at it? Well, I appreciate that. I knew I wanted to be a race caller when I was about 12 years old. We used to go to the races all the time at Saratoga in upstate New York, and I fell in love with it.

I wrote a letter to Tom Durkin when I was 12. He wrote me back. I was sort of on my way from there. I practiced a lot, spent a lot of time calling races as a kid. I used to race marbles and matchbox cars. I'd ride my bike around the yard pretending to be a jockey. I'm way too big to be a jockey now, obviously. But, yeah, one thing led to another, and, you know, 10 derbies later, here we are. Well, it's fantastic to watch the clip of you doing your thing every single year. Now, you call the entire – do you – because there's only, what, one weekend down there at Churchill Downs? Or is there more, though, that I don't know about?

No, we race about 80 days each year uh derby week is our first week though so uh i call races for the first week off the layoff and i mean you ask about it and when those horses turn to the gate i actually wonder why i started doing this uh myself it is the most nerve-wracking uh 10 minutes that lead up to that race uh your heart's pounding you can feel your knees knocking. But it's when... Palms are sweaty. Knees weak.

Arms are heavy. Vomit. Yeah, exactly. I love it. I like you getting in the zone. You feel those butterflies 10 years in. Now, before AJ has a question for you, because I'm sure he's heard your voice plenty of times

and been incredibly intoxicated while you were doing your job and you might have happened upon each other up there in billionaire row. This ending was great. This is what we're here for, right? I mean, obviously, we just talked about NASCAR having literally the closest finish in the history of NASCAR this weekend. But a nose, nose, nose across the finish line at the Kentucky Derby is dream come true. Right, Travis? It was just awesome.

It was a great ride on the winner, Brian Hernandez Jr., a regular here in Kentucky, cut the corner beautifully. The two horses coming on his outside. I could tell at mid-stretch that it was going to be close. They just kept on coming and coming and coming. Oh, yeah. Coming all over the place, Travis. Yeah, getting ready to stun them out, Travis. I'm glad I didn't say it like that, but I know what you mean. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, but you could feel, you could sense it early, huh? Yeah, no, I mean, you can see in the binoculars, you can tell when horses are digging in. They extend their stride, they lower their head. Brian was all over Mystic Dan to get him to hold on, which he did.

And, I mean, three noses on the wire. I thought Mystic Dan won live. I wasn't gutsy enough to call it, and I'm glad I didn't because it ended up being less than a nose Just a wild finish And it built the drama Because you play That's awesome for the sport

A lot of drama for what? How long is this race? How long is the entirety of the race? Two minutes Two minutes That thing's on TV on NBC for seven hours And then we got like two minutes that were all built up for it. And every year people are like, yup, that was awesome. Speaking of a man who says it's awesome, go ahead, AJ.

Trev, what kind of prep can you do for this? Because there's races all day long that you're calling and all of this stuff. Also, it's got to be tough off this layoff and all of a sudden, bam, you're thrown into your Super Bowl. Does that ever come into your mind? How do you practice? Are you still doing, you know, having your kids race little marbles and you're calling games your Super Bowl. Does that ever come into your mind? How do you practice? Are you still having your kids race little marbles and you're calling games for them or what?

No, I mean, I watch every replay of every horse. I try and learn them like to the back of my hand, the bridal color, their coat color, what the jockey silks are. Us announcers memorize horses by the silks, flash cards for hours leading up to the race. And then it's really, as you know, hours leading up to the race and then it's really as you know you've been to the derby it is it is a gauntlet and it's about staying calm and just trying to stay poised

uh cut out the beer a couple of nights before okay yeah you know really focus in and uh yeah it's you just got to trust the process when the gates open and i tell you it's it is a wild feeling this year especially they turned for home. There was like 10 horses in the binoculars. And I was, oh, my God, don't do this to me. But you just got to keep going. What's the name of that horse? Oh, yeah, that's who that is.

You don't have time to do that. There's no time. You just have to go. I couldn't even imagine. Go ahead, AJ. Did you get a spot or anything? We know you're calling it from the binoculars. Do you have somebody with you?

Like a play-by-play guy might have a spot or sometimes pointing things out. No, it's me and me only. The door is closed. Love that. Hey, that's accountability too. At least we know who to blame. At least you know who to blame. And with how quick it all happens, I assume you have to know it like the back of your hand.

That's just be a natural conversation. But with how many horses there are from how many different places, knowing their story, what type of runners they are, because I think you even gave like a couple, you give some insight too, while it's running. You say in the binoculars, you can see them kind of dig in a little bit, start stretching their stride a little bit. That has to be a wonderful thing to kind of, I don't want to say predict,

but once you start learning that that's what you should, hey, you're a weapon, Travis, actual weapon. Now, let's talk about derby analytics a little bit, shall we? Go ahead, Tone. Yeah, Travis, there hasn't been a favorite who has won since 2018. Do you, like in the horse industry, is there a reason for that? Is it just the Kentucky

Derby and just the entire spectacle of the thing that gets into the favorites' heads? Why do you think that is that a favorite hasn't won in, what is it, six years now at least? The Derby, it's just incredibly hard to win. Every one of these horses is pointed for this race for months on end. And then with 20 horses and a monocorder, tight turns of Churchill downs, you've got to have a lot of luck go your way.

And that's why the Derby is so great because it's not so predictable. Anything can happen, and it has happened over the past few years. So, yeah, it's just a very tough race to win. That's what makes it so special. Whenever we look at the next couple races, should we assume that horses that do well in Derby do well going forward? Like I know we're just kicking off the whole thing, right? Here we go.

We got to go to Baltimore. Then we got to go to New York. And everybody's trying to see if Mystic Dan's going to be able to go. Should we assume horses that did good in the Kentucky Derby will do well going forward? Or do you not pay attention to the rest of the schedule? No, it matters. To run well in the Derby means you have to be in good shape and in good form. So if you run well in the Derby, you're likely going to run well in the Preakness.

Historically, those horses have done very well. But, again, it's a very grueling race. A lot happens. So fresh horses that come to Baltimore also have a bit of an advantage too because they're coming in with fresher legs. But always favor the Derby horses. It's the best field each year. So whoever does well in there ranks pretty high.

That's great news. Ty has a question for you. Yeah, Travis, we saw I think on your Wikipedia, it says you went to the Missouri Auction School. You graduated from there. Does that prepare you for something like this? Like, how does that process work? Yeah, I mean, I can auctioneer, but real quick,

I'll give you the best piece of advice I got there. At auction school, you go in and you practice your bid calling in front of other students. It's very nerve-wracking, intimidating. And the instructor said, you're nervous. before you get on the mic you need to do this go bing bong bing bong and he says on that last bong is where you start to talk when you get on a microphone because you have your entire vocal register to to work with so uh in fact i don't think they put it on the video but before they load it into the gate i'm in the room

i'm by myself so i can do whatever but i'm going bing, bong, bing, bong. Horses have reached the starting gate. Yeah, just thinking about that. That was the best piece of it. I like that. Do you do other vocal exercises throughout the year? I do. I do a lot in the car on the way to the track each day.

I do some vocals. Unique New York. Unique New York. Those things? Yeah, Tommy, Totemist, Tuk T two tees, tied him atop two tall trees. Yeah, stuff like that. Round the rough and rugged rock, the ragged rascal ran. Yeah.

That's pretty good. What was it, Tommy, tough one? Tommy, tied him his two, two tees, tied him atop two tall trees. Jesus. So I went to that Mecham auction. I went to that Mecham auction, and they have two auctioneers. The one guy, I'm forgetting his name right now, good dude, cowboy hat, had the stick. It was a great display of speaking.

Do you still have the auctioneer in you if you need it? Like, let's say all the horses stop running. There's no more horse racing anymore. If you had to go do auctions, could you still auctioneer if you had to? I'd probably be fine. I'm going to get $25. I'm going to get $30. I'm going to get $35.

Yeah, I could do it. I think so. Yeah, I think so. Yeah! I'd say. Yeah! I'm thinking you can. You know what else I'm thinking?

I think you're related to one of the guys that works for us. You know that? What? Yeah, it's legit. I mean, this is a real deal. Yeah, look at... Oh, dear.

Oh, boy. I mean, that's Bill McComas. It's verbatim. I mean, you are two bald whites with a round head. I mean, you seemingly look very similar to each other. As soon as you got on the screen, everybody had the same exact thought. Holy shit, that's Bill McComas. Now, we don't know if Bill can talk like that, but this guy can code YouTube if he had to.

Bill, you guys need to maybe catch a drink together. Meet up with your old dad here. Of course. That'll be it, Bill. Thank you, buddy. Seems like same exact bot. Are you jacked, too? Are you jacked?

Not quite. No. No. Perfect. Bill's pretty jock. Jeez. Go ahead, Connor. Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

You look much more jacked than Bill does, Travis. What? That's what I'm saying. Bill's been working his ass off. Oh, no, yeah. Bill's jacked. But, I mean, look at the traps on Travis. This guy, he's a house, and he's just not saying it.

You think he can bench 225, maybe 275? 240, 250. But aside from that, Travis, one thing that we always kind of revisit every Kentucky Derby is, is one thing that we always kind of revisit every Kentucky Derby is, hey, obviously this matters a lot, but the fastest horses in the world are at the Breeders' Cup. Is the fastest, best type of announcer at the Breeders' Cup as well, or is that you?

Are you the one that goes over? Do they call you up to the big leagues to get you to do that one as well? No, I got to tell you, the big leagues, the Derby. The Derby is the big one. We had record handle this handle this year 160 000 people at the track over the weekend so uh but you will see all the horses that race at churchill on derby weekend they do point to the breeders cup ultimately later on in the year but uh if there's one race everybody wants to win it was the one that we just had for sure god aj travis do you have any favorite horses name that you've called or maybe one that's given you problems in the past uh yeah so i was calling

races in new york city and they're coming on the track and i'm memorizing the silks memorizing there's a horse named uh radiant cut c-u-t and uh that's not like cock right there it's not like you said c-u-c-k no c-u-t as in cut but you can imagine the word radiant and then the word cut after each other oh no yeah oh we're talking about punting here oh no it got me a little bit it got me i didn't think anybody heard it it was very very subtle but then they hit the wire, and instantly my phone started vibrating. I was mortified. It was awful. I was mortified.

Oh, no. I have made a massive mistake. On favorites and toughest, let's go to D-Bud. Yeah, that's probably one of your least favorite moments in the booth. But what has been your favorite moment in the booth these last 10 years covering the Kentucky Derby? I had never been to the Kentucky Derby, and the first one I called was 2015 with American Pharoah. And so that would probably be up there.

I mean, for anybody that's been to the Derby, it's an event. And getting through security, getting through parking, getting to the booth is a chore. I had never experienced any of that. And then I get upstairs, and a few hours hours later I had to call the derby. That's up there. This year's was an exceptionally hard race to call with three horses down to the wire together.

This is a hard charging second. It might even be number one now. Oh, I like that. We say everything's the greatest of all time as soon as after it happens too. You're our type of guy. We like that. Also, what a race. What a finish. I didn't even know until I looked on the internet because I was just watching a derby happens too. So you're our type of guy. We like that. But also, what a race, what a finish as we turned.

Now, I didn't even know until I looked on the internet because I was just watching a derby on my phone while everything's happening in the world. My daughter turned one this weekend. Way to go, Mackenzie. Way to go, Sam. Way to go, Sam. But anyways, while I'm watching, I didn't even know there was a potential controversy until I look on the internet. And horse racing has

controversies on a lot of situations. I mean, AJ even talked about somebody winning, then not winning while he's still there, and it being a big deal. There's a lot of checking. Bruce, what the hell happened this year? There was something that took place. Yeah, so Tyler Gafleon was the jockey for Sierra Leone, the two horse. And there was some bumping coming up the backstretch.

And then, yeah, you can see here uh gaff leone kind of puts his his left hand out almost like he's grabbing on um to forever young there uh travis what did what did you make of the the lack of inquiry and people calling for it um i watched back a bunch this morning there is some bumping the hand thing i i don't know how how serious that is i mean he he could have whipped it you know busted out the whip and hit hit forever young so curious your take on it all yeah so in the call i said it they were shoulder to shoulder they were leaning on each other pretty hard which is not uncommon for horses toward the end of a race they're getting tired they're trying hard they're just trying to find another gear the stewards at at Churchill are right next door to me and they watch every

replay multiple times. I'm confident they reviewed it. If Sierra Leone had won, I think we might be having a different conversation, but he didn't win. So I feel like they looked at it and probably determined that it was hard to make a decision whether the horse should come down or not. Tyler is a great rider. He rides year-round here in Kentucky, and when he's had his hand way out to the left like that, Sierra Leone was trying to get in on him. You can see his rein is real tight there. The horse is lugging into the left, and he's trying to correct it, and I think he just got tangled with his left hand trying to get the stick out, because you can deter a horse from doing that by using the stick a little bit,

and his trainer, Chad Brown, said the horse horse responds to that so i think that's all that was happening there uh forever young the japanese horse in the red he ran a huge race too uh just mystic dan beat him by a nose uh just it was awesome just what a great stretch drive so this is a nothing burger in the horse world yes no i mean it's it well people love to make controversies in horse racing uh but at the end of the day you know it's the best part about racing is that the horses decided and they still had every opportunity to go by him and they didn't uh mystic dan dug in found more and it's a deserving winner japanese horses is uh this is a very common thing for the kentucky derby because the interview, no, okay, is this new? Yeah, it's sort of new.

They've really taken over racing worldwide. They've started to bring more horses over to America. They're starting to win big races. Each horse they've started in the Kentucky Derby has run better than the last. They were just a nose back this year. They're going to win one soon. They have a tremendous breeding program over there, and they really respect our racing,

and it just adds a whole new dimension to the derby. So I was happy to see them run well, and it would have been cool if they won, but I was happy for Kenny McPeak and Brian too. I was watching the owner of the Japanese horse there, and before the race or whatever while they're walking, great coverage. They're walking on the

thing and everybody's all dressed up in these multi-thousand dollar off and they're just walking in dirt and mud which i love and they're paddock they're doing their interview but the owner uh japanese owner was like so gracious and thankful to be at the kentucky derby could feel the respect that they had for the derby so it it's Japan, big horse racing, United States, big horse racing. Middle East does horse racing as well. Where is the, and how, yeah, globally, what are we looking at from like a, from like a, I don't want to say ranking scale, but like you get it. Well, the American thoroughbred is still the fastest breed in the world.

Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. I like hearing that. Our ponies can run. This is the white bison we got. Suck it. Anyways, go ahead. In fact, Japan built up their breeding program by buying a bunch of mares from America.

So that's part of it. But there's good racing in Europe, in Asia, the Middle East as well, and of course, in North America. And the globalization of racing is really starting to take off. There's a lot of big races around the world from the Derby, which has horses coming from Japan and Europe and America. The Breeders' Cup is, of course, the Dubai World Cup, the Saudi Cup. There's big races in Japan as well. And, you know, I've called races in Saudi Arabia before. And I got to say, when you go to a horse race, it just connects people. It's like any other sport, you know, any other sport connects people. Horse racing does the same thing, regardless of where it's

happening around the world. And we just got to experience it here in Kentucky. Yeah. I like to hear that everybody shares our degenerate gambling habits on horses. Yeah. That's good. Shout out. Shout out to the world. We've got more in common than we could ever imagine. People forget. Go ahead, Tone. Are you allowed to gamble on the horses? I am, but I don't. When I was early on in my career, I bet a horse that I called. He won. My good friend Nick called me up. He goes, did you bet that horse? I said, yeah. How did you know? He goes, I could tell.

And that was the last. Come on! Come on! Come on! It wasn't that bad. But apparently he thought it was. But I trust him. And I trust him.

So I don't bet anymore. Man, you haven't Sierra Leone in that one? Oh, damn, Mr. Stats! Oh, my God. That would be fantastic. You know, they have accused some football commentators of potentially having a little money on one particular side than on the other. I'm happy to hear that over in Horse World, that isn't taking place,

obviously because of the amount of gambling. Speaking of gambling, a lot of people lost. Go ahead, Ty. Yeah, Travis, I know you mentioned that the Derby's just hard to win, and that's why we haven't seen a favorite win in so long. And I don't know if fierceness was the most prohibitive favorite of the last several years, but when you have a big favorite like that who then goes on and finishes towards the bottom of the pack, why exactly do you think a horse like that just shits the bed?

Also, what did the next several months look like for that horse when it was expected and you know projected to win the kentucky derby no i'm not saying that because i'm sure they'll still stud this thing out but if we start having a couple more you know not so great showings what exactly what exactly is this horse looking at for its future you know it's tough call if you watch the start of the race he didn't have the best of starts he sort of leapt up in the air and for a horse breaking from the gate is one of the more strenuous parts of the race for them they go from a standstill to 40 miles an hour in a matter of three or four jumps so if when that doesn't go well for a horse sometimes they get a little bit disinterested or frustrated if you watch fierceness in the race his ears are pinned back which is a sign of a

horse uh not really enjoying what they're doing, not comfortable, not feeling the moment. And he just seems to be a horse that sometimes he needs things to go his way, and it's really hard to get things to go your way in the derby. He'll be back, though. He's really good. He's a really good horse. We didn't see the best of fierceness

this weekend. Oh, front-running fierceness. That's a shame. I thought that was a good pony. I thought that was a good pony. I thought it was a good pony. It was. It still is. Don't give up on him. Don't give up on him. He's a trainer in his own. Well, I'm not going to give up on him, but I hope, you know, others don't, Ty. That is not

how it goes. What could happen? That is not how it goes. No. Because it's not hurt. Well, I hope not, but fierceness, we all lost money on because Bear came in and told us, hey, this is the one. What was that?

Bear gave us literally every pick he gave us. Listen, Bear, we love you. We love you. We love you. We love you. But I think what we're learning is it's tough to predict what's going to happen at the Derby, which makes your job even more difficult.

And we respect and appreciate the hell out of you for joining us, Travis. I appreciate it. Thanks, guys. And hopefully respect and appreciate the hell out of you for joining us, Travis. I appreciate it. Thanks, guys. And hopefully we see you at Churchill Downs next year. AJ will be there with Kid Rock. Ain't you all right, AJ? Yeah, maybe.

We'll see. Hopefully. Did he have a beeper? Is that what you saw? Yeah, I saw it. It was the first thing I saw when I saw him. Kid Rock had a beeper? Well, it was a Bluetooth speaker kind of disguised as a beeper,

and he seemed to love that gimmick as well. Playing picture all day? Any other gimmicks? It was sweet. Played great music. He's DJ Kid Rock all day? He's playing the hits. Yeah, man, he was playing the hits.

How many of his own songs was he playing? All of them? No, he didn't play. At least I did not hear any of his own songs. Humble Kid Rock. Wow, right? Very humble, yeah. Kentucky Derby. All right, Travis. songs was he playing all of them no he didn't play at least i did not hear any of his own songs yeah humble kid bro wow right yeah all right as well sorry we're having a full combo here around you we appreciate you buddy thank you very much guys have a good one ladies jump a trap stone trap stone 29 25 you can drop right back still got it yeah what. What did Tommy Tootsie do? He tossed something out somewhere? Tied two T's on top of two trees.

Is that what he says? Yeah, something like that. Tommy Tootsie tied two T's on top of two trees? Yeah. Jeez Louise. That one's a tough one. Yeah. You know what he used to give me?

We should have asked him. Real world, the show. Go ahead and say it. Say it 10 times fast. Go ahead. Real world, you get in there. It's tough. What did he say?

The one he did? The other one. Radiant Cut. Oh, yeah. We thought he said Cuck. Is that what you thought? I thought for sure that's what it was, yeah. Instead, it was another one. It's a great name for a horse. It's a tough name. A lot of opportunity there.

Did you sleep at Kid Rock's ass? No, I don't know where he spent the night, but I did not stay there. How was it? Legit, for shoot. Looked like a great group. Yeah, it was fun. Yeah, man. It's great. A lot of those guys, I don't know where he spent the night, but I did not stay there. How was it? Legit, for shoot. Looked like a great group. Yeah, it was fun. Yeah, man, it's great. A lot of those guys, I only see them once a year.

So, yeah, it's good culture there in that house, those guys. Any ayahuasca? Did you guys just all do ayahuasca all weekend? Come on. Oh, yeah, just plant medicine all over the place. That's all we're doing. I like hearing that. You just said something much different, and I do appreciate that.

Planting all over. A lot of guys probably already had their first test. The annual test starts April 20th. We're past that. Congrats to everybody. That's what you want to get done. Yeah, you want to get in the first wave of testing. Because if not, you've got the first week of training camp. At least you know that's coming.

But, yeah, substance abuse program kicks off on 420 good joke roger didn't ask him about that at the draft should ask him about that did you guys all have a nice laugh about april 20th being the start of the substance of abuse testing that's unbelievable aj uh i don't know if you saw or not there's two game sevens in the NHL, okay? And in this office, there was a battle between Ties, Vegas Golden Knights, who are the reigning Stanley Cup champions, and Bubba Gumpinos, our friend Gumpy, the Canadian stallion who has a lot of teams around him up in Canada, you know, that he could be fans of.

And Evander Kane told us that Canadian crowds are just more wild, brother. That's basically what he said for us to get to Edmonton. He's actually a fan of the Dallas Stars. Dallas Stars get the big win over the Vegas Golden Knights. AJ, did you get a chance to catch up with any of the Game 7s this weekend? There were three of them, two of them in the NHL. Yeah, this one I was paying even more attention to because I know the fandom back in the office, but also the winner is taking on the Avs,

so that is my squad looking forward to watching that whole series as well. Why are you an Avs fan? Well, my brother-in-law is on the squad, so I will always be a fan of whatever team he is on at the moment. You're talking about Mitts, Jack Johnson? Yeah. Yes, I am. This guy's hands are the size of these iPads.

These dudes, Jack Johnson's. Prime pants. They are gigantic. That was the only thing I really could take away from talking to him. There was a lot going on where I met him, so I'm not sure I got all the words that came out of his mouth, but the only thing I walked away was, holy shit, these dudes' mitts are gigantic.

Is that an everyday thing for you, I assume? Yeah, that's very accurate. He is like country dude strong. Yeah, that's just how he is. He's a great hockey player. And obviously the Avs do their thing. And the Dallas Stars knock out the Vegas Golden Knights. And in the other game, seven, ladies and gentlemen, a team that came out hot.

And then a page was turned. And oh, no, they're going to get got. Ended up getting a massive win in game seven. The Boston Bruins knock out the Toronto Maple Leafs in an absolute thriller that goes to overtime, that sees Posta get a bounce off the boards perfectly and do a little slicing and dicing. And on the other end, there was one man playing goalie

who is now second in Bruins history with save percentage and winning a series, an absolute stallion. Ladies and gentlemen, goalie for the Boston Bruins, Jeremy Swinman. Yay! How you doing, Swinman? Hey, guys. How's it going? Hey, fantastic.

Not as great as I assume your life is going. Big game tonight, but on Saturday, you get a big seven-game series dub in which you played a majority of the series with a lot of conversation around who should stay, who should go. How do you feel, and what were you, just in a zone for the entire series? Why do you think you were seeing the puck so well? I think it was just enjoying every second of it and that allows me to to really embrace the moment and and give my all. You know we all grow up as kids wanting to be in

game seven overtime and to do it in a Boston Bruins uniform at home and winning it that was a dream come true so I'm just really grateful for the opportunity and what an experience it was. Go ahead AJ. Playing goalie is it it almost like golf? Sometimes we hear professional golfers say, oh, I didn't have my best stuff today, but I still found a way. Like say you in the playoffs, do you ever know early on, hey, this is, I am seeing the puck well tonight, or does it go either way? Do you know early on sometimes how you feel? I think it's a big confidence thing, sometimes how you feel? I think it's a big confidence thing and it goes through every position. With goalie in particular, you got to be in the moment. You got to focus on one shot at a time because if I'm not feeling good in a warm-up, if I'm not feeling good even during a game, it's

my job to get myself back into the moment and focus on the next shot because I'm worried about other stuff going on that next shot could go in. so for me personally the biggest thing I do is just try to find my little resets you know even if I'm playing really well if I'm seeing the puck well I want to make sure I'm resetting between whistles and do whatever I need to do to stop the next shot because again you can't dwell on the past or the future because it's not going to help you uh make save in the moment yeah and it kind of sucks i mean you just had a massive series feels like you guys won the entire thing and now game one's tonight so hey yeah what have you done for us lately we move on you get about 12 hours to celebrate big games yeah big win knocked out toronto yeah and now we got another

one but i guess that's just the nature of the beast i read you're from alaska okay shout out america let's go ahead America. Let's go ahead and do that. Have you always played goalie throughout life? Because I know obviously Sidney Crosby back in Pittsburgh, Sidney's center, but he'd play deck hockey, played goalie, and he saw everything. Did you play any other positions or were you always goaltender? I was fortunate to be able to skate out on ponds every winter. So I was playing offense a lot and I love scoring goals just as much as I make love and saves. So, you know, I think when I finally chose to become a goalie, my dad wasn't too fired up about it.

And I wasn't really taking no for an answer. I always seemed to find myself getting back in the net, even when I was a little guy in player gear. And once I put the pads on, I never looked back. It only takes like 45 minutes to put the pads on. That's all. That's why we play like street hockey or whatever, never playing goal. Why?

Because it takes forever to put all the pads on. But, boy, if you don't put it on right, you know, we're talking. Oh, yeah. I mean, I know you've got a bunch of shit on, right? But there's holes in there, right? There's holes in there? Oh, yeah. Rib shots.

The hand gets beat up a lot. You know, up on the collarbone, I got like a, I don't know, it feels like a broke thing twice. It's just, it's the nature of the beast. And whenever you get a ringer off the head, you know, you just got to realize you signed up for the position, so you got to love it. You're giving a lot of self-talk. You wanted this. Yeah. Just the off the head, you know, you just got to realize you signed up for the position. So you got to love it. You're giving a lot of self-talk.

You wanted this. Just the middle of your turn around. Your fault. Yeah, turn around, lift the helmet up, do a little water spray. Like, hey, this is what you signed up for. Go ahead and get the – let's get the eyes back in this entire thing. Yeah, because you have to no-sell that, right, because you can't act like you're in pain either.

That's a big part of it. Right. That sucks. I am so happy i'm not a goalie but swayman happy you're doing it pal happy you're doing it thanks fellas connor who's obviously flying high has a question for you yeah sway first of all thank you so much i mean the joy that you brought to boston and new england and bruins fans all over the country on sat night. It was unmatched in these last two years. But, you know, obviously last year there was a massive, massive season and set records and everything. And then, you know, the Panthers series happens. Game seven, same thing, overtime.

On the wrong end of it, though, does it almost feel like, even though there has been so many big wins for the Bruins these last couple of years, that it's almost a monkey off the back to finally get a series under the belt? And now it's like, okay, here we go. a monkey off the back to finally get a series under the belt. And now it's like, okay, here we go. We're past the first round. Now we are in this thing. And also, how does the body feel?

You know, seven-game series, how are the boys feeling? Are we flying high? Is it nice to be in some Florida-Tampa weather? What are we thinking down there? I think Pat said it best is you can only feel good about it for five minutes and you've got to move on. It is the nature of the beast. And exactly the next day after game seven, we were on a plane and got to Florida right away. And I think, you know, what I'm so impressed about this team, especially is with our past experience with multiple game sevens in the first round and not coming out on top, just the positivity that we have in our leadership, the culture that we have in our locker room allowed us to keep that positive mindset throughout this series. And it was a really special feeling coming out on top finally.

And I think, you know, Connor, you said it great, where we can use that momentum going into this next round. And there's almost a positive where we didn't really have that rest to reset. We're still in that mindset of, hey, this is our speed, this is the way we play, and this is the way we're going to attack this next round. You know, we want to stay in the moment, and I think a lot of the guys are feeling really good,

and we're really fortunate not to have too many injuries right now. But, you know, none of us are going to admit it at least. So we're going to do whatever we need to do to get this series started off right tonight. You're saying you've got two collarbones. Last question here for you, Jeremy. Obviously, as the next round against the Florida Panthers drops the puck tonight, Florida Panthers fan and also G1 pit crew member for Lando Norris. Loser!

Have some respect. Loser! I have to respect. Loser! I want to ask you, Jeremy, as a former defenseman myself, as a defensive guy, you always took extra pride in being better than the other defense that was on the field that you were playing that week. Is that the same thing with goalies? Obviously with Bob being in net for us,

do you guys take any extra pride in being the best goalie in ice for that game or that series? I think the best way to approach it is I wanna compete against myself. It's my job to raise the standard of my play. And when you look out on the other end of whoever you're playing against, they're a very worthy opponent. This league is incredibly talented and every night you're playing against a top tier goalie. And and they're going to do whatever they can to stop the puck,

and that's my job too. So I think the mindset going into it is, yeah, it feels good to play against these incredible goalies such as Bobrovsky, and it's just an honor. And my job is to stop more pucks than them, and that's something that I love doing and I'm excited to. Hey, congrats on a great first series. You played fantastic. You're making a lot of fans of the Boston Bruins. Even though the city of Boston is tough for some people to rally behind, what you guys are doing is awesome to watch.

Ladies and gentlemen, goalie for the Boston Bruins! Jeremy Swayman, thank you, bro. Okay, they take on the Florida Panthers. For the Boston Bruins! Jeremy Swayman, thank you, bro. Yeah, Sway! Okay, they take on the Florida Panthers. That series starts in, obviously, last year. Florida Panthers ended the Boston Bruins' miraculous season quickly in early in the first series. I like the question about Bob because he's got great goal tending coming up to Bruins.

Oh, getting a point and a half. Oh, yeah. Here we go. Oh, we're dogs in this series. Big time. Big goal winner. Hope it goes seven. Well, we talked a half. Oh, yeah. Here we go. We're dogs in this series. Big time. It's a big goal. I hope it goes seven.

Well, we talked to Kachuk last week. They got a good one down there. Yes, they do. He's a tough guy. Oh, yeah. He's got blood from Massachusetts running through his veins. What do you expect? Of course.

What do you expect? You think Kachuk was down there at G1? I doubt he was down there. He's not an asshole. Was that on Saturday or Sunday? Whoa. Sunday. Because it rolled right in after game seven.

The actual Grand Prix was on Sunday, but the qualifying. Grab asses on Saturday. Yeah, qualifiers on Saturday. They had a sprint race on Saturday, too. Did you say Grand Prix? Yeah, Grand Prix. It was Grand Prix. I call it Grand Prix. How many hands were you shaking down there?

A lot of hands? A lot, yeah. Yeah, this year. Tom Cruise. You see Tom Cruise? He took a tire off, and they said, he's in the pit crew. He took a tire off. He's like, wow, okay, guys.

I saw Bruckheimer. Jerry? Yeah, Jerry. Jerry was there. Big time movie producer. Yeah, of course. He produced Top Gun He's got his name on everything

Is he the guy in the video that I saw Whenever Tom Cruise was jumping off the cliff on a motorcycle No Different guy I don't know who Jerry Bruckheimer is But he sounds like a dog He's in Top Gun L. Duncan was doing her show down there

Pirates of the Caribbean I saw ESPN was doing Pirates of the Caribbean. Did a hit with her. I saw ESPN was doing some Pirates of the Caribbean. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Bruckheimer's got his thingies and everything. Oh, look at Dee Butch doing an interview. Elle's a weapon. Elle, Gary.

He's a cameraman right now. He'll edit. He has crew. It is great. And L, obviously. Absolute stud for ESPN. A lot of coverage on this G1. A lot of coverage. I tried to turn on SportsCenter to see what I missed, potentially, from some of the games that I couldn't watch fully. All it was was this G1 patty

cake thing going on. AJ, I was all right. How long has it been called G1? I'm not sure. I think I put the tweet out. I have a tweet out here. Yesterday, G1 race down in Miami. It looks like pretty solid.

Is the race actually cool, though? Like, is the race cool, or is it just cool that you get to walk around and shake hands with Jay Leno on these? Come on. The race is cool. The race sucks. actually cool though like is the race cool or it's just cool you get to walk around and shake hands with jay leno on these come on the right the right no a lot of so the race honestly the most exciting part of the race which is gonna sound crazy is the first turn the first turn is the most you know actually probably like that with a lot of racing but is anybody crashing first turn yeah a lot this one's people watching that's a problem first turn it's a lot of action there and then obviously you got to be strategic you got to be strategic with the pit stops, the tire degradation,

all that stuff. And then, obviously, you're rubbing into some takeovers. Such a mark, bro. Are you kidding me? Look at that car. Are you kidding me? Oh, yeah. An album pose.

Looks pretty sweet. D-Butt on Friday is like, yeah, I don't know if I'm going to go. I opened my phone this weekend. D-Butt's everywhere over there. Of course, he's going. Got a Ferrari in front of an Indy there. Of course, it's going. Got a Ferrari in front of an IndyCar bush. They do it, though.

The holster jumped off the top of one of the paddocks, leg dropped Reuben later in the day. Really? Yeah. What did he say? Just like, you got it coming to you, dude. Get ready, brother. And then popped up and obviously, boom, got the whole crowd going. That was actually to start the race, I think.

Oh, was that the ceremony? I'll watch now. Ceremonial Hogan atomic leg drop off the path. You ran into Rap Sheet down in Kentucky? Yeah, he was at Friday night. They got a Sports Illustrated party thing, and all of a sudden, Rap Sheet and Lee are right there, man, just hanging out.

You guys are at Sports Illustrated parties, what? Yeah, there's a party thing you go to on Friday that we go to, and then, yeah, this is the first year with the Sports Illustrated thing. Chain smokers were playing and we all of a sudden, Rap Sheet and Leah are just there dressed up, looking nice. Yeah, I got to chat with them for a while. I saw Rap. That's great to hear.

We hope you sent our regards to Rapaport. He posted that he didn't go to the track actually to watch the race. He was hanging out at another place. I don't know if you saw his Instagram post. It was like at a house. Like in a living room, but just he and Leah just watching the race on TV or something. He went all the way to Kentucky to go watch this thing somewhere else. Said it was great though. It was all at a house. Like in a living room, but just he and Leah just watching the race on TV or something. They went all the way to Kentucky to go watch this thing somewhere else.

Said it was great, though. It was all dressed up. Thank you, Jeep. What are you talking about? What a loser. He didn't have to. Rap-a-port is not a loser. Yeah, look what you're wearing.

We got to move over. I saw Seth Freaker-Rollins down there. Did you run into him? Oh, Seth Freaker-Rollins. I did not run into him. I was a bit confused by a screen grab I saw, but I did not see Seth. You run into him. Seth freaking Rollins. I did not run into him. I was a bit confused by a screen grab I saw, but I did not see Seth. I really didn't.

Seth Rollins balled. That was real high and tight if he's not balled. He keeps it pretty high and tight, though, because he's got the long hair, but he also does the lines on the bottom of the hair. You might have tucked that in the Abraham Lincoln hat. Oh, yeah. Roman keeps it real high and tight, too.

Yep. Yeah, well, Roman's, yeah. Oh, is he? Where's he at? He's on the Island of Relevancy right now, hanging out. Okay, the guy just went on the longest run in history. That would be real high, real tight, but it could be all tucked up in the fedora, I guess. Yeah, it's tucked in there.

Yeah, I hope so. And you could have found out for us, but guess what you were doing? Smoothing with Kid Rock and his pager. Yeah, of course. Is that JD in the middle? That's not McDonough. McDonough's taking a bump off one of the horses. McDonough actually is running in front of one of those horses.

Is he okay? Like the woman in the game? McDonough's starting to win me over. In Afromania, I will not say another bad word about the wrestling of JD McDonough. McDonough's willing to just die. He'll do whatever. And that's why we love him. Absolutely.

There's AJ's creepy shot of Kid Rock from a couple suites over. Obviously, it was a hell of a weekend for sport. That belt buckle, man. Josh Groban right behind him. Who? Josh Groban, the guy that sings, what, You Lift Me Up? He sang that Friday night. I saw him on the red carpet.

What does he sing? Didn't he win one of the competitions? Like American Idol or something? Who are you talking about? The bald-headed guy looking away? No. The guy right there that looks like curly hair mitt. Oh, what's up?

That's Josh Groban? Yeah. He can sing, man. He tore it down at that Sports Illustrated AI party? No, he sang at this Barnstable party that we go to every Friday. But I saw Marty Smith. Did he interview the winner? Did you get to see that?

Nah, I turned off TV. But if Marty's interviewing somebody, I'll definitely go back and check it out. Early in the day, he popped up, and he's there, and we're talking to him. And I was like, what do you have to do? He said, I've got to interview the winner. And I'm like, is that the jockey, the owner, the trainer? He's like, well, a little bit of everyone. And that's exactly what happened.

I was trying to convince him, hey, please ask one question to the horse and then put the mic up to his little baby mouth. And please, can you find a way to work this in? And we workshopped it for about five minutes. Marty, he was open to the idea, but I didn't think he was going to be able to pull that off. I think he was receptive to the idea at the time because he likes good brainstorm sessions. He's never going to bring an umbrella to the brainstorm. Shout out to Marty.

That's why we love him. We saw you guys on TV. Half your face was kind of in the corner. You guys letting Aaron have some room? Is that what that was all about? I don't know. I didn't see. I saw a screenshot of he and Jimmy Graham.

Is that the one you're talking about? No, you were also on the side. You guys were kind of four yards away as if he was in the middle of an ayahuasca ceremony. The internet was kind of saying, oh, Aaron probably doesn't shower anymore, so AJ's not sitting close. People are thinking he didn't smell because of how hot it was, but we know that's not the case. He's a very clean gentleman.

Here it is. Look at you, AJ. Oh, okay. We were kind of crammed in. You're there about eight, nine hours each day, so, yeah, I think we're all just hanging out. Hey, at a baby money team, Ed, down there at the bottom left. Yeah. Eggs a stud.

Bakhtiari was there. Did you learn anything? About what? Is his knee still hurt? Where's he going? Oh, yeah, I don't know. Where's he going? You're an asshole.

We'll be back tomorrow. This has been the Pat McAfee Show. Sorry you watched. Right on cue. Yep. Right on cue. I mean, I hit a fucking dinger there. We asked you, AJ.

You were just with the fucking guy. You're an asshole. I mean, honestly, I don't even know what his situation is. Is he on the Packers anymore? He plays tackle. He's a free agent. Do you even, like, are you here? I know you're here, and you always say, I live in the moment so much.

You don't even remember. Yes, I do. You don't remember things that happened, but we have certainly talked about Bakhtiari getting released from the Packers, being a free agent, potentially going to the Jets, and then even talked about him versus MetLife Turf is going to be a fun little game.

We're telling him he's going to the Jets all week. Oh, okay. So that was a... Devontae, too. Did you tell him that? Oh, yeah. I said, yeah, Devontae, I think he's going to the Jets all week, yeah. Oh, okay. So that was a – Devontae, too. Did you tell him that? Oh, yeah. I said, yeah, Devontae, I think he's going to the Jets as well. Yeah.

Oh, he's a Raider. So this was a conversation, but he's just deciding not to say anything. No, it was not a conversation about where he was going. But, no, Devontae loves AP. I know that much. He loves that squad. How could you not after we met him and chatted with him? It feels like the perfect guy to want to play for,

especially being an ex-player and how much money they're paying him to play out there. He and Max Crosby, Pillars, they did a podcast, The Rush Pod. I think clips are awesome coming out of that. I would assume the entire episode is. But, yeah, quite a crew there. Jimmy Graham probably flew there himself. Yeah, for sure.

He did. But he flew down to some IndyCar thing where he was driving IndyCars in Ohio. That's where he went first before he went to Kentucky. What did he fly, a plane, helicopter, scuba? One of his planes he flew down to some IndyCar thing where he was driving IndyCars in Ohio. That's where he went first before he went to Kentucky. What did he fly? A plane? Helicopter? Scuba?

One of his planes he flew. I love everything about Jimmy Graham. Yeah, he's the best. His Instagram is so awesome. It is. I love it. He is the most interesting person. He's rowing around the world.

Next summer, he's rowing around the world, I guess. No, it's not rowing. It's sailing. I don't know. He's rowing. No, he's on a row crew. They're going to row. It's a massive thing. It's a whole deal. No, he was going to sail

around the world. He's rowing on a... I don't know how many people are on their own, but they're going to row across the... whatever. No, that's not smart. That shouldn't... I've seen that, AJ. I thought that was like the Arctic Circle thing that he was doing with the rowing, not the... Yeah, he's rowing. But not like the... No, we're calling Jimmy Graham right now.

Oh, yeah, because Rapp has the form. I think Rapp's in consideration to make the team. I think he might try out. Where'd he go to school? Columbia. No graduation this year. Graduation has been cancelled. Did a lack of hustle.

Figure it out he did go to Columbia yes he did he was part of the recruit team I wonder if they have an alumni weekend this weekend or anything was he supposed to speak after graduation

what if he got canceled I think they want him to come speak just on campus just in general oh nice Jimmy Graham the Arctic Challenge the impact of the Arctic Challenge

goes far beyond the four athletes in the Arctic Ocean with the mission to inspire young minds the team aims to challenge the next generation to push beyond their limiting beliefs and chart their own course. The Arctic Challenge. Rowing the Arctic Ocean. What the fuck, dude? You don't have to.

That's not the ocean you want to row in. Yeah. It's right there in the first word. It'll take them a couple weeks. I think it takes like, I don't know, 15, 20 days or something. Wow. Maybe more. It's cold. It's right there in the first word. It'll take him a couple weeks. I think it takes like, I don't know, 15, 20 days or something. Wow. Maybe more. It's cold.

But hey, he's inspiring people to know that you too can sign up for death missions. Yeah. I wonder if he sees the path to the other dimension up there. I was going to say, I wonder if Aaron sent him on this mission to row the Arctic Ocean to see with Donner. Look around for a hole. Find a portal. Find the portal.

Look around. Has your... Just check. Keep your eye out. See if there's anything. You better like those people you're rowing with, too, man. Yeah, because you're going to be in between their legs. Yeah.

I almost want to hate them. They just dump it all over the place. They're not talking. Get me the fuck off this boat. There ain't nothing like being on a canoe with one fuck. That can't... Oh, boy. Not pulling their weight, either.

Oh, I hope you're having a good time. Hope you're having a good time. Hope you're having a good time. We're going in a goddamn right-hand circle. Get a fucking one of these, please. That's like a two-person kayak. Same thing. Gotta have a good tag team partner.

It's like whenever you're earthquaking out there in Utah. Exactly. That'll ruin a honeymoon. Speaking of, great tweet out of ZD Baby this weekend. WWE Backlash, which is WrestleMania Backlash, which is the first premium,

sorry, premium live event. PLA. PLAs. Doesn't sound anywhere near as good as pay-per-view, but it is.

It's not a pay-per-view anymore. Yeah. So, it's premium live event. It technically is, though, because you do still

have to buy Peacock Network. Yeah, but you're not paying for just the show. True. You're paying for the whole thing. So pay-per-view is the thing.

You're not exactly doing that, but I still think they should go back to it. I like pay-per-view. I like it. It's premium live events, though. PLEs. PLEs. They did it in France. They did SmackDown in Lyon, France the night before.

And then they did Backlash in Lyon, France. My birthday Thursday, wife set up a night. Shout out to my wife being awesome. Baby girl's birthday Saturday, May 4th, first birthday. Wife set up something awesome. Had a fantastic weekend. Obviously would never miss daughter's birthday for anything work-wise, especially the first birthday.

Can't do that. Boy, I saw that French crowd and I thought to myself, I got experience at least once in my life. They were fucking awesome, AJ. I don't know if you've seen any of these videos. I saw clips. It looked, yeah, it looked crazy. The whole fucking place, 12,000 people, the whole thing, the whole time,

yelling, screaming, chanting. It was like the hooligans of soccer this is them they were singing some song about him being vremont phenomenal phenomenal or whatever because he's known as the phenomenal one and this song i've never heard before i don't know if it's been sung before in other places that he's been like maybe new japan or any of the european places he wrestled worldwide worldwide places. It was my first time hearing it. They were going fucking crazy. I couldn't understand what they were saying. I'm like, are they on his side or are they against him? Because he was wrestling against Cody Rhodes. And then Cody Rhodes goes, they go bananas.

Jey Uso comes out. The entire arena is doing the heat, which we've been doing for months in every single arena. It is electrifying. They turn the lights off, give them flashlights. The whole fucking place is in on it. It was awesome. I mean, and I hope Jey Uso took that all in.

He has earned the shit out of that from years and years and years and years of work. And now he's got Lyon, France going bananas to his entrance. It was sweet. It was a great weekend. That's so dope. Bonjour, ça va, ça va bien. Merci beaucoup pour la hospitality au WWE. French people. Yeah.

On the, when they're for the pin to like that, that was awesome. And then they sang a chant after every two. It was something like, oh, boo. And then it was like a this is awesome chant, I think, immediately afterwards into a full sing, song, and dance. There was people saying, hey, are you in a safe place? Because the amount of noise that is being made right now seems to be, like, potentially alarming. It was so sweet. It was awesome to watch. It was so sweet.

It was awesome to watch. And shout out to the WWE Universe being so global as Michael Cole yeeted in his way because he's got to tell like 14 stories at the same time. But he's bouncing. How could you not? This is their second language. And they're falling in love with the stories and the product. It's like shout out to France. Shout out to the WWE.

What a fucking weekend. Yeah. What a weekend. Have they done events there before? Yeah. So I think they've done like house shows.. What a fucking weekend. Yeah. What a weekend. Have they done events there before? Yeah. So I think they've done like house shows. They do a European tour. They'll send shows over and they'll go do shows over there and everything. And I think there's some tryouts normally associated with the shows.

But I don't think they're really televised ever. And everybody that's wrestled over there in the past has basically been like, hey, France is the real deal. So this is the first time, and it had the highest gate in the history of an arena show for the WWE, which means they could have sold a shit ton more tickets, which means they'll probably be in a stadium the next time they go back. It's like, what a weekend for the WWE, and what a weekend for me, respect-wise, for Leon France. Oh, yeah.

Through the roof. Shout out to that place putting on a show. I mean, even the day before, just like the press conference that they had outside, people were going apeshit. I mean, I guess you can come to expect that because everywhere we've been with the WWE, the fans are rabid. But obviously, over there, when you don't really get to experience it as often as we do in the States, they showed up ensuring that they'll

come back. Boards are awesome, even when they involve horses. That's A.J. Hawk. He was at the race this weekend in Kentucky. The Talks at Table is here at Boston Connor and at Ty Schmidt. One half of the hammer. Damn! Cowboys 10. Diggs is here.

Hey, looking good, Ty. Thank you, brother. I appreciate that. You too. A little baggier sweatshirt today so we don't get to see your fit look that you're rocking these days. Well, I checked the weather today. It was supposed to be a little rainy, so I figured I could rock the sweatshirt. But it doesn't look like it rained at all.

You know, rain makes corn. Corn makes whiskey. Whiskey makes my baby. A little bit of whiskey. It's a banger. I tried to sing that alongside Luke Bryan down at College Game Day in Georgia. You remember that? Oh, yeah.

Then I said, Tennessee also makes whiskey. Sorry about it. And it turns out that Georgia team was unbeatable. Yeah. I was pretty good that year. I was completely wrong. Could have been more wrong. But, yeah, it did call for a little bit of rain. But think we're in a warm time i think we're in a warm time officially

you know there's a chance that a phantom snow can come there is flying through always indianapolis and we're hoping that's not the case with these new storms that are coming in tornadoes still happening let's keep an eye out and uh t's and p's to everybody you know in the midwest um darius j butler is here amanda was down at the g1 race uh lando norris first time he's won yep in 110 starts we're all happy for him i saw him after the race sprinted to his crew and then did a herd first dive and then they did a body thing yeah it was cool to see the genuine camaraderie it felt like of each team is that what each team is like because it feels like it's so like uh how do i say shallow superficial and uh you know bullshit yes it does but it did feel like a genuine kinship

and a genuine love amongst the teams is that what we're missing out on maybe yeah for sure because obviously just like football hockey basketball all these other team sports like it takes everybody so all those engineers all the people the pit crew, everybody, especially for him, you know, 110 starts. A lot of people, a lot of fan bases give him a bunch of shit for not having that win, for finally getting his first win. They sucked. They were terrible last year, so they've come a long way this season. Okay.

Thank you for being a journalist, Don. Thank you. Yeah, needed that. But snow, we get snow in May here. Oh, yeah. Don't get a phantom snow out of here out of nowhere. It'll come. You know, you got rain in California and the desert.

There's a lot going on right now. But that pullover looks like it could handle anywhere from negative 20 to 120. Yeah, it's all weather. Yeah, but if it was 50 degrees, he would put two hoodies on top of this. For sure. It's about 50 in here. Oh, come on. Close.

67. What? 67? 63. Feels like it's about 85 in here right now. Things on. Close. 67. What? 67? Yeah, 63. Feels like it's about 85 in here right now. Things are heating up. You know what else? We got an update, ladies and gentlemen.

We tried to FaceTime Jimmy Graham, obviously, last hour to chit-chat about what he was doing in Ohio, and then, obviously, he was over at the Derby, flew himself over there, and then he's getting in a rowboat, and he's doing the Arctic Ocean soon to inspire young people that you can do fucking impossible things you're not supposed to do that have a bunch of red flags since Titanic all the way until now. Well, he couldn't answer the FaceTime, obviously, because he's

flying a fucking plane. Is that how you're supposed to fly? Is he reading? Got his legs? Yeah, he posts these a lot. He just lounges. He's got autopilot on. He's got it all situated. Oh, it's easy. I'm happy he's got the windshield wipers up there.

I didn't know planes. What's he reading? That's probably some Arctic Ocean adventure book. He's got to probably fill out. Hey, do you feel like you'll ever be... What? Just chill. Just have a cup of coffee?

No. How much more chill does a cup of coffee? No. How much more chill does he get than that? Yeah. Legs kick back, book open. That's what he wants. He wants us to bring the whole show down to his hangar in Miami where he has everything parked and do a bunch of stuff from down there. Yeah.

They're going to space again. You see that? Oh, yeah. Who? Jimmy? SpaceX. Shatner? William Shatner?

No, he's not going back ever, brother. Yeah, Shatner, Star Wars, and of Unexplained, which is a host about a lot of alien stuff, went up to space and said, there's nothing up there. It's so sad. Never go. It ruined my entire life. I'm dead. Don't do it.

He said that'll... For shoot. That is exactly the experience that he described. Yes. SpaceX, though, I think we sent... I think they're going higher. I don't know if it already got sent or if it's going higher than ever oh they've been isn't it crazy uh yeah and the guy on the today show said that this continues x's quest to have multi-planetary

existence for humans or whatever it's like wait a minute that's you just said that out loud for us all to hear for a reason so we're're going to be living on a different planet. Sweet. They found a new rock on Mars, I saw. Yeah, very smooth. Very smooth. It looked like it was shaped by something. Something with a lake.

Yeah, pretty polished. Maybe water. But if it was water polishing it, then... That'd be big news. That'd be huge news as well. Probably buzz up there. Just kids on it. What's that?

Would you ever go? I was... Nah. $250,000, I think, is the the one going right i don't think i want to go unless i'm not going to be one of the first ones you know but if you go chill on mars for a little bit if they figure that one out was that like a 96 day flight something like that seven years but if they figure that out if they figure out how to make that a 30 40 minute trip i would certainly go pop in yeah teleportation i'll go pop into mars they'll figure that out, if they figure out how to make that a 30, 40-minute trip, I would certainly go pop in. Yeah, teleportate.

I'd go pop into Mars. They'll figure it out. In our lifetime? Yeah, I think Elon, Bezos, I think they'd figure it out. Well, Boeing's getting into the game, which is good. I wouldn't go on a Boeing. Well, they're flying planes from one part of America to another part of America. I don't think we should talk about that at all.

And now they're heading up to— We shouldn't talk. Even I am staying away from that. That's a good point. Nope. I don't even know anything about Billings. Good. Keep it that way. They're sending rockets all of a sudden. They got into the

rocket game. Don't even say the name. Is Bezos still doing it? Well, that's the Blue Mountain or whatever. I never hear about them. Are they still doing it? Blue Origin. I think this has become billionaire Elon's thing. Because he is an alien and he has spacecrafts

and he's the greatest. That land themselves. The capsule comes down and lands on a barge itself upright somehow. And he's the best digger of all time. He's a tunnel digger. That is one of his businesses. And all these other planets, we get pictures

of the outside. It's like planets we get pictures of the outside it's like what if they're on the what if they're inside have we have we found out if they're on the but all this goes back to my point of we went to the moon before there was internet

for their cell phones we even got a call from them at the moon haven't been to the moon too far for their cell phones. All of it. We even got a call from them. Yeah. At the moon. Haven't been to the moon. No need to. Too far. Too far slash mapped everything.

We needed a map when we were up there. But we were there in 19... Yeah, what was it? 60, 62, 63? That range? Hell yeah, we did. Something like that. We won the space race. We certainly did. Sorry.

Sure. Sorry, Russia. D-Bud? What did you say, D-Bud? Come on now. We got there. We got there, didn't we? Goddamn right, we did. You keep talking, you know Buzz gonna come knocking, and he's gonna fucking knock your chiclets out. 1969.

July 16th, we won all the way to the moon. Summer of 69, baby. No, you actually never have. Well, on the record, we haven't. But the Israeli Secretary of Defense when it comes to space, he did say, hey, they're inside the moon working as we speak.

Don't you worry. And you can look that up verbatim and pull up that article if you want. It's a wild time right now. But the Today Show saying because that's the national news, you know? Yeah. That's a big deal. A lot of people watching that. Don't you know X is going to try to have multi-planetary existence for humans?

It's like, holy fuck. Oh, yeah. Is that happening now? When are we? Well. I'd like to get up to Mars, snoop around. If they can make that 30, 40 minutes, I'm in. As long as it's not cyber trucks up there, because I saw one for the first time in person.

Here in town? Yeah, there's one around here. There's one right around here. That's the ugliest fucking thing I've ever seen. What? It's flying on the highway. It looks so cool. And I know I'm in the right.

What do you mean? What the hell? Everybody wants one of those. They're sold out. Shot across the bow. Yeah, what are you saying? You're saying something about Gump because Gump likes it? You wants one of those. They're sold out. Shot across the bow. Yeah, what are you saying? You're saying something about Gump because Gump likes it? You're saying that means it's shit?

No. That's what I sound like. That's what you were alluding to. I love Gumpy. Go on. I just love you. Finish your story, Tony. I love you, brother.

Why is it ugly? That's why it's ugly. I think it looks... It just is. It's supposed to be, though. It's not supposed to be your work truck. It's supposed to be like, hey, this is what we do to drive around on date night or something. Yeah, that's a problem.

I do have a ticket. You want one for the office? If that's what the truck's for, then the truck fucking sucks. It's not for going around on a date. Okay. It's for going around town saying, look at me. Look at me. Look at me.

I have one of these trucks that sucks. Although, did you see that guy who... It doesn't suck. It got recalled because the gas kept getting stuck to the floor. No, the thing slipped off the top. The glue wasn't good enough, which is problematic. They can't figure out the glue. The sensors in the trunk are pretty sweet.

Did you see that guy? Put his arm in there and then his hand in there, and then he did the finger test, and oh, no, it got stuck in there. So watch your fingies when you're loading up the trunk. Well, it's the first edition of this thing. We're talking about the Model T. Now we've got the Cybertruck. We've come a long way.

There's a lot of things you got to figure out. It's not. It's supposed to be like. The cars are cool looking. I like the look of the cars. I'm just saying. I'm not a hater of Tesla as a general. Saves the world.

Just the truck is ugly as fuck. Yeah, I think that's a part of it, though. Okay. Is that it's ugly. It's supposed to look like that. I think it's cool. Me too. We all drew them as a kid. That's the truck we drew. Yeah, it think that's a part of it, though. Okay. Is that it's ugly. It's supposed to look like that. I think it's cool. Me too. We all drew them as a kid.

That's the truck we drew. Yeah, it's a problem. When you have a murk brain and you're four years old, that's the car you draw. A lot of that about Gronk last night, people were saying. Yeah, right. Man. Yeah. Did you watch it last night, AJ?

What were your thoughts? Yeah. Going in, I'm not going to lie. I was a bit worried. I'm thinking, okay, it's live. You have athletes and roast. I've seen some terrible roasts. It's not easy, no matter how much writers and everything you have.

I thought everyone did great, for real. I liked that they went for it. They absolutely didn't tiptoe into that thing. They went for it. I think Drew Bledsoe kind of set the tone for athletes first when he gets out there first and goes. He went hard, man, for a little while. I enjoyed Kevin Hart in between everybody.

He seemed like he was really enjoying himself. He made it move even though the thing was super long. I was impressed. You have one of the most famous humans on earth. Obviously, a comedian hosting that thing, throwing to other comedians, doing everything like that, filling time, obviously, because they've got to do some. We've got some gimmicks.

Ron Burgundy's coming out here. We've got a TV screen for two bears, one TV in the middle of that whole thing. They end up getting a Tom Brady being Adolf Hitler. That was good Rose stuff. Julian Edelman, Nikki Glaser, Andrew Schultz.

Tony Hinchcliffe had it. He killed it. Oh my god. The bird crusher is king. Looks like Tiger King and Liver King came together. And the liver is... Who only eats Burger King. And his liver is the color of Martin Luther King getting beat up like Rodney King. I mean, it was just bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

And then just big pop just kept it moving right to the next one. Like Schultz is a killer. And he just one joke and then right to the next one. Not even like a, huh? Right? Because a couple of the football guys did some stuff in there, huh? Yeah. Great.

I mean, Gronk, we showed the club. Pretty good. Yeah. I got to enjoy it. It was good. I thought it was talent, man. I did too. I like Bill.

Did you see when Gronk got done, you heard you could hear on his mic, Bill goes, that was tremendous. And he hugged him. I was so pumped that Bill was so excited for Gronk's set. Yeah, and Gronk took some shots at old Bill. He did. They all did. That's what was almost my favorite part as a Patriots fan,

seeing the interaction now between retired player and former coach. How about Bill Belichick going, Rodney Harrison isn't in the Hall of Fame. That's the biggest joke of the night. Then he's just like, that's all I got. That's pretty cool. I assume Rodney loved that. Yeah, Rodney's a weapon. He's obviously very beloved by Patriot fans, but he's a weapon. Definitely should be in the Hall,

but I thought Bill was great. Obviously, him on the show on draft night, a lot of people still talk about, oh, he's human. We saw a different side of him than him coming out. We talked about the cut scene he had with Drew and Tom, which was just, I mean, just an absolute thespian. Bill was great. Everybody was great. It was good to see all those guys

go back and forth and just kind of rehash all the shit you heard Bill say for 25 years. Oh, I can go to the Foxborough High shit with Edelman and then him not looking for a job. That was all good. Yeah, Edelman crushed, I thought. He did. Danny Amendola took some shots, never got a microphone.

Yeah. It's not fair. That was a bummer. It's not fair. You take shots, you got to at least give me 60 seconds. Well, then you only get 60 seconds sometimes, and then you wonder, you know, how come I only got 60 seconds in this entire thing?

Who was that? Was that Perriman that was right over the shoulder of everybody? Just, you know? I'm not sure who that was right over the shoulder of everybody? I'm not sure who everybody was, honestly. That was Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the right there. On the right side, yeah. Yeah, Jensen, Perriman. I forget who else.

Levante in there? Perriman got a lot of screen time. Yeah, right over the shoulder. Prime, prime real estate. Lonnie Paxton. Lonnie Paxton with the hat on, obviously living his best life. Matt Light over there. Brashad Perriman being on stage for the Tom Brady Roach has to be the most random thing, says Ari.

Ryan Jensen, Levante, David, Donovan Smith, and Perriman were the four Bucs players up there. Yeah, he was right over everybody's shoulder the entire time. Good spot. Could have sold some ad space. Yeah, for sure. Right on the forehead if he really wanted to, you know, take advantage of the situation.

Peyton Manning obviously made a surprise appearance here. Dove Kleiman got killed this weekend on the internet. He sure did. Well, that was deserved. Hate to see it. What happened? I was just trying to cover the NFL. Was he?

Yeah. He posted a video of Saquon and Jalen Hurts working out going, Look out, NFL! The Eagles are working out. This means they're going to win the Super Bowl. And then obviously everybody was like, wait until the other 31 teams learn how to work out. Do squats. It's that time of the year.

And stuff like that. We're finding little things to bury. This is it for NFL news. It kind of culminates with the grossed. Now that we're here, the groat. Now that we're here, this is how the NFL offseason truly is. We need one next offseason.

We need one next weekend. We need a groat. You guys think Michael Jordan's going to do it? You think Michael Jordan's going to get roasted? He has to. I don't see it happening. Me neither. Does he have the rules?

He has the rules. There's no rules. Michael Jordan doesn't have any rules. I was going to say, I don't think he's as affable and as willing to laugh at himself and as self-deprecating as Brady is. To be clear, I would not want to do that. No, of course not. Not at all, yeah.

How about Tiger Woods? See, that's what I'm saying. I would not. There's a lot to go on. There's a lot of material. LeBron might do it because he is up on stage with a bunch of cameras. What is this guy's deal? I thought we were roasted.

I thought we were roasted. No, he didn't sign up for it. But, like, Brady, you know, it's like, what? Okay, yeah, they're going to make fun of my divorce a bunch, and then they're going to talk about the crypto stuff probably. Like, anything else, like, okay, I can handle it. Like, Tiger gets up there. Like, he doesn't want to rehash all that shit.

Like, there's no way. And same with Jordan, you know? Like, all this stuff's coming out now. And, I mean, first of all, you look at all of his former teammates. Those guys are still scared to death of him. None of them are going to get up there and fucking say anything bad about him. What's that? What about Aaron?

Would he do it? Oh, buddy, Aaron's would be loud. I would not want to do that. That would not be a fun thing. I wouldn't want to do the roasting either Sitting up there I don't want any part of that I was thinking of the guys who are going

A little later in the night having to sit through the beginning Trying to like alright I gotta make sure I do my shit Not professional speakers And then they're also just getting fucking murdered In front of an entire arena And then zoom-ins on their face. Zoom-ins are oh, can't take

a joke, huh? It's like... He was clapping, cheesing up every time they got him. Who caught the most strays? Guerrero. Aaron Hernandez. I mean, Gronk.

Everyone had at least one line on Gronk, I feel like. The more famous you are, the bigger target, obviously. Yeah. Because everybody knows you. So, like, did Gronk and Julian know who all was going to be up there on that particular side? You know? Because, like, everybody, I think, has respect for Randy Moss. Right.

You know? So, like, I don't think Randy's going to get targeted by anybody. But on the flip side, all anybody said about the comedians, who are very famous in this generation of comedy, we don't know who you are. That's not easy to roast. Yeah. Gronk.

We know Gronk. Yeah. That's an easy target. Good for Gronk getting up here, too. I don't think, did he know? Who knows? That's basically what everybody was saying. More impressive, if that was the case. You know, did he know? Who knows? That's basically what everybody was saying. More impressive

if that was the case. You know, what is this? So we're eating a pig and a cow. Sure. A roast. I can't wait.

It's like Hawaii, like a luau. I'm fucking pumped, dude. And he sits down. Everybody's being real mean. What's going on? Thank you for taking a break from writing letters to Santa.

That was the first thing. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sp was the first thing. Yeah. Yeah. I'm spiking the glass thing. Taco Bell. Oh, yeah. I heard you talking about that. I instantly was like, did that go in somebody's eyeball?

I think that was definitely a blast. Thought night was ruined. Thought it was over right there. Because big money front row. Yeah. I mean, even Tom was right behind him, right? Like, glass shatter. That shit go anywhere.

Yeah, he gave one of these. Remember on ESPN, even when they smashed those little baby plastic helmets, they put on the safety goggles. Yeah, we can't be doing that, I don't think. What do you mean? Which part? Plastic and eyes. Yeah, I understand.

It never happens, though. Until it does. You're right. You're right. I guess I should. I'll pick a different hill. I'll pick a different hill. That's a good point. I'll pick a different hill. Yeah, you're right. Okay. All right You're right. I guess I should. I'll pick a different hill. I'll pick a different hill. That's a good point.

I'll pick a different hill. Yeah, you're right. Okay. All right. All right. I appreciate it. Did you get to see that Methy, the United States soccer player who's considered the greatest of all time, has broken an MLS record in the Miami team that wasn't able to make

the fucking playoffs last year even though Messi won 10 games that didn't count somehow during this to the schedule so they didn't make feels like they're the wagon this year Gumpy what was the record and is this inter-Miami team with Suarez and the boys about to go on a run and win the best league for soccer in the entire world him and Suarez are putting the team on their back. They are not priced like they were last year, though. They were minus 130 on Saturday night. They won

6-2 against the New York Red Bull. If Messi and Suarez play, they're winning that game. What was the record he broke? Most goal contributions. It sounded out! An MLS match. Goals and assists.

Dang. So he had five assists, one goal? Yep. And did this game count? He counted for the whole game. Yes, it did count. They're not in the US Open Cup this year because of all the bullshit that was talked. They pick and choose when the games count. That's not what the MLS does.

It's what soccer does as a whole. That's certainly what it seems like because it should be a no-brainer. Like, hey, let's get this team in the playoffs. Let's just say that right now. How about they can lose the rest of the games and Messi can do whatever the fuck he wants and they make the playoffs because that's all that matters.

Some more big names coming over. Olivier Giroud joining LAFC. Get the fuck out. Yes, he's very good. He's actually a dog. Are you kidding me? Woo, woo, Joe! World Cup champion, brother.

Let's go. Yes, brother. I love that. Olivier Giroux. Who else? From France. Very handsome Frenchman. Already sellouts everywhere.

Who else, brother? Biggest crowds ever, actually. AJ, if you checked it. Yeah, New England actually did have the biggest crowds. And Missouri. Everywhere Messi goes, brother. He's the Beatles. That's the MLS.

Andrew. All these games matter. He's just going to miss the playoffs. That works. Which goes back to what Tyler said. Because he joined halfway through the damn league. Doesn't matter. Who cares?

Yeah. Doesn't matter. The dignity of the league, I get it. Okay. All right. Messi's here. Let's put him. Who cares? Yeah. Doesn't matter. The dignity of the league, I get it. Okay. Methi's here. Let's put him in the playoffs. Yeah. And then let's see what matters when it matters. Oh, no. We need the Vancouver Whitecaps to be the

number three seed. Well, he was actually hurt at the end of the year anyway, so he wouldn't have played in the playoffs if they made it. Well, that wasn't a real injury. They said if it was playoff ball, he would have been actually playing. This goes back to Aaron's Achilles thing. Could he have played at the end of the year? Yes. But since they were in the playoffs, he would have been actually playing. This goes back to Aaron's Achilles thing. Could he have played at the end of the year? Yes.

But since they were in the playoffs, he's out. Same with Methy. That's what I heard. If he wants to cement his legacy, he knows he's got one trophy missing. The MLS motherfucking cup. MLS, MFC. We know it. We love it.

I do like that they do it at the end of the year like that, that they actually have a playoffs at the end of the year. Other, like, soccer doesn't do that. Well, that's because. You just win the league, and then that's it. Like, I do appreciate there is an actual playoffs at the end of the year. Not to sound too America's better than everybody, because there's certainly parts where we're not. But when it comes to sport,

you see what we did to your hockey game. You're welcome. See what we're doing to soccer now. Putting playoffs in. I assume we're going to create some other stuff because we're incredibly ADHD. We get bored quickly. And we have so many other things. We'll start doing more stuff.

Now, we need Europe's fans. And we need great fans. We need their skills. But I think America will do some stuff to the game that hopefully will soup it up a little bit. We'll bitch enough until we get to where we want it to be. We will be the ones that will whine and bitch

until we get to a spot where it's a little... Now granted, people are going to hate it. But for us, I think with Methi's success, I do think soccer is on the up and up. Like this TST thing. A lot of people got teams in there. Chris Paul's got a team in there. JJ's got this TST thing. A lot of people got teams in there. Yeah. Chris Paul's got a team in there.

JJ's got a team in there. Ocho's going to be in there. We obviously have a team in there. I think Allie Krieger, old school U.S. women's national team has even been there. It's going to be televised, I think. Like, why not soccer? Does Matt say anything? I'd try to get Messi on our team.

Can't K-Fa, but. He's still a professional. Wrexham. Ryan Reynolds' team has a squad in it. He's still a professional. Rexham. Ryan Reynolds' team has a squad in it. Ryan Reynolds is going to be downer. Swansea has a team in it. Is he playing? Yeah, is Ryan Reynolds playing?

He's got a big movie coming out, so I don't know. Big press, John. Did you see the movie The Rock's doing? What's he doing? He's fighting people? He's smashing machines. UFC, is that what we're talking about? Yeah, he was doing first day of MMA training.

Is he wearing pants or underwear? He's got it rolled up. Look how big he is. I didn't know, he was doing first day of MMA training. Was he wearing pants or underwear? Well, he's got it rolled up. Look how big he is. I didn't know if he was Daffy Ducking it. He is. Oh. I think he is. He's talking it.

That'd be cool. He's really swinging at this guy. I mean, how does this work? We just get to hire somebody just to fight him? Yeah, I would not want to be The Rock's training partner. That's for sure. He is wearing his tights. This other guy is really throwing bombs at him.

Good sell. Rock and sell if you have to. What's going on, Darius? I'm not going to see it. This is a mixture between acting and real. This is day one. What are we talking about?

Rock's about to become. Is this for a movie? Yes, a movie, brother. I can already hear all the UFC marks getting so mad about this. Yeah, but you got to remember, he has a great relationship with the UFC. Yeah, but the casuals are going to love it. He just did a figure four sharpshooter, I believe, in the middle of the ring. Day one, D-Bot.

You still got something to say? No, no, no, absolutely not. And he also provides all the clothes I think to the UFC guys and girls for the weigh-ins that's sweet so he has massive respect

for this mixed martial arts community I trust him as Papatoui have you been using it I have not

I'm going to get my hands on it I saw him in Target with you know promoting and stuff I gotta try it

yeah he took over at Target just took over need to try it yeah I have Papatoui they just make me glow hell yeah I can tell absolutely yeah I can tell ever at Target. I have Papatouille. They just make me glow.

I can tell. I can tell. I got some burgers. He's in Target. He already has it in Target. He's The Rock. He didn't even have to go on Shark Tank to get in Target either. That's unbelievable. The Rock's Instagram is Shark Tank.

The member of French Toast and everything else. The Terraano yeah it's it's qvc shark tank uh home shopping network and also his instagram incredible what he's been able to accomplish business-wise on there he's i think i don't understand it i got it what's supposed to happen yeah so you're supposed to do what you're doing and rub it on i actually just squeeze it and then put out my fingers and then put it on okay i think my ball is too tight to the thing i can't get the two night or what uh no after the shower in the morning so it gets rid of the wrinkles it's like a little ball thing at the end of a tube but i think my ball is too tight to the tube because i can't nothing's coming in yeah it's kind of tough the ball is not moving either so i'm just stabbing myself in the face you stick with it though those

do work i had when i was done in the shipyard, I had heavy bags under my eyes. They're not that great now, but they're a lot better than they were. Hey, handsome. Texas hockey's winning flying. You're handsome. Good life.

Sleeping in a bed would help, too. I mean, I have thought about it lately. Put some thought into it. Perspective change. This guy's been sleeping on the couch for a couple years in his apartment. Has a bed. Sleeps on couch in the living room.

Why? It's the Vikings, baby. It's like Tom Hanks in Castaway. Remember Tom Hanks had to sleep on the floor after he was on that island for 10 years. Oh, yeah, I forgot about the end. That was a little tidbit there. Is that why you do it?

Because of the ship? Yeah, absolutely. That ship life? Let me break my back. I just pass out. Like, I'm not... I don't know. I just don't go to bed.

Gov doesn't like the theatrics of getting ready for bed. Yeah. He likes just going to bed. I literally just pass out when I pass out. You don't want to brush his teeth or anything like that. No. Why would you? Why would you do that?

Just fall asleep with food on your chest on my couch. Phone, too, for sure. Yeah, that's exactly what's happening, AJ. Phone, for sure. Like this or even like this, maybe. A dip in or something? At some point. Yeah, maybe a Zin or two with a guy.

You slept on a bed, though, last week, right? And you were like, wow. That's kind of nice. Yeah, it's a treat when we're on the road. It's kind of like it that way. Oh, we go to a hotel. Wait a minute. I'm pumped to be in this shitty-ass hotel.

Gump, you should just rent a hotel room every day during the year. I actually did that back in Canada because I never knew when I was coming back. I lived in an Airbnb for like six months. Shout out to immigration. Yeah. Thank you very much. It's really easy to predict and go through. That's right.

Really easy. Simple. Got a letter here talking shit to Gumpy from the immigration office. So what does he fucking do? Pretty much is what they asked. Why are you asking? This guy's got no degree. He was painting ships.

He's an adult. And you just want him to come to America? Sounds like just because he's friends with you, he gets access to America? I don't think so, pal. Fuck off. Pretty much a letter we got. That's not a joke. Listed him as Kyle Gump.

Kyle Gump. Yeah, that lawyer was great. That was $30 joke. Listed him as Kyle Gump. Kyle Gump. Yeah, that lawyer was great. That was $30,000 down the drain. That's about the going rate to get out of Canada right now. What's that? I didn't hear what you said there. What'd you say? I said $30,000. That's about the going rate if you want

to leave Canada right now. Oh, it's $25,000 I heard to get out of Canada. But the good news is they'll tax you so much that you won't be able to get to $25,000 to get out of there. Perfect. You get to love Canada even more for the rest of your life. Impossible to get out of Canada. But the good news is they'll tax you so much that you won't be able to get the $25,000 to get out of there. So you get to love Canada even more for the rest of your life. Impossible to get out, potentially, I guess, is what's happening up there. Gumby got out for free.

Well, cost us $75,000 in lawyer fees. 100% worth it. You've paid back in spades, obviously, pal. But yeah, there's a wild thing going on with Canada. Get to America from Canada. I think it only costs like 25 racks or something like that. No big deal. Just pay the fee.

You want to get out of here, no problem. You can leave anytime you want, but just 25 grand. We got some big news out of Cincinnati. Joey Burrow, fresh out of the G1 race down in Miami, throwing the ball around in the indoor facility in Cincinnati. Wow. Good torque, good pop, good spin. AJ, Ohioans are losing their mind, I assume.

Oh, they have to be. I drove by this beautiful indoor facility when I was headed down to the Derby. So, yeah, you can tell the boys are getting good work here. Yeah, it's a good bubble down there on the side of the highway, you know, which we like. You know, because right now, would they be practicing in the rain over there in Cincinnati? Yes. Would it suck? Yes.

Would they want to get more work done? No. Now they've got a bubble they can get extra work in and Joey Burrow's hair and throw look damn good. Mid-season form maybe D-butt. Yeah, he looks good right now. Good torque, good fiery full throw. I like to see it. I'm sure Bengals fans

love to see it too. You think he could have got it up to the second hell no. Well, let's slow down there. Like Patrick Mahomes did down there? Yeah, look, that's good stuff. I don't know if Brady could even get up there right now. His outfit was very cool at the boardroom get-together down there. It's not the White Party yet. I know he's going to be at that too, but not that day.

A lot of people at that White Party out of the AFC North. A lot of people going to that White Party out of the AFC North. Who else? I don't know. Was TJ White there? Wasn't Russ there? Big Ben don't know. Wasn't it TJ Watt there? Wasn't Russ there? Big Bam was there. Russ was there.

Was Russell Wilson there? I would not be shocked, yeah. Well, what is the Met Gala? Saw a photo of Tom Brady from one of those. Tomorrow, I think. It's happening? I think it's tomorrow. Well, that gives us the invite list, right, for the white parties?

Close. Do we know the theme this year for the Met Gala? Asshole. Yeah, dress like an asshole. It. We know the theme this year for the Met Gala? Asshole. Yeah, dress like an asshole. It always gives off the theme. It is. Once upon a time, an asshole. Boom.

All right, speaking of assholes, we got to get out of here. It's called Leaping Beauty this year. Oh, okay, nice. What is that supposed to mean? Everyone's going to be drugged up, brother. What'd you say? Instead of sleeping. Sleeping Beauty. Oh, Jesus. Instead of sleeping. Sleeping beauty.

Leaping beauty. I thought everybody was going to be jumping. I was excited to see. Coked up. Off the fucking walls. Instead of sleeping beauty. The amount of pajamas we're going to see from assholes. Can't wait. The robe. The ridiculous

robes that are going to show up. Someone's going to show up cock out going, this is how I sleep. Yeah, Jared Leto, book it. He's going to be butt-ass naked. Huge bush. Yeah. So what happens in there? They party?

I think so. I don't know. Is there a performance? Like, does anyone perform or anything? I'm pretty sure. What happens? Where's Kid Rock? Is Kid Rock under this thing?

Probably. I think he's the MC. I think he's headlining. I assume he's Kid Rock. He walked on the red carpet. I think he's the MC. I think he's headlining. He's headlining. I assume he's Kid Rock. He's walking the red carpet. I'd like to see what he... If this goes in, Kid Rock's going to be at the Met Gala. Okay.

Yes. This means something. Bam! Oh! Boom! Can't wait. Thank God. Oh, man.

Now I'll watch. All right. Let's get the hell out. I don't think you can watch. It's just on the internet. It's just pictures. All right. Let's get the hell out of here.'t think you can watch. It's just on the internet. It's just pictures. All right. Let's get the hell out of here.

What a day. Heading to Connecticut for Monday Night Raw. Can't wait to be back here tomorrow. AJ, great work today. D-Butch, you as well. Congrats on getting on the pit team. Congrats, D-Butch. Congrats, D-Butch.

You look really cool. Thank you. Is there more shit or is that the only one you can afford? Yeah, this is the only one. I had to apologize to my kids after I bought it. $180 nachos, AJ. I heard that people were pretty upset about those high prices. I mean, come on.

It was a hundred places to get food from. What do normal people do? How do normal people go to John's for funky bucks? That area wasn't for normal people. That was like a beach club. You got to pay however much. Is there a standard bleacher section that people like normal humans can go? Aren't they selling hot dogs for $4?

I don't know about $4. $280 Maine Lobster Roll. Oh, it's Maine. See that in that top corner? Hard Rock Beach Club. Oh, that's a VIP. It's the little fake yacht. So you pay $100,000 to get to pay $280 for Lobster Roll?

Yeah, but these people have no idea what it serves. It serves 12. It's like going to a club. I'll take the steamed buns. You know, going to live on Sunday. Oh, yeah, we got a section for, you know, $10,000 section, so you got to order. This $400 bottle is actually eight grand. Yeah.

Got it. It's not a fucking soup kitchen. Hey, it ain't a fucking soup kitchen, all right? It's out for Miami, man. I mean, steamed buns only being $120. You sign me up. Look at that, though. Eight-piece wing for $190.

That's not fast. Oh, lemon pepper, too? Hell yeah. Add one ounce of caviar, $400. There we go. Yeah, I'm surprised it's not double. Yeah, I mean, that's very nice of this man to have all these people pay all this money to get into this one section and then say, let's fucking gouge them because they have

no idea. Yeah. These people are just passing over a card. It's already been spent. They don't care. This money's gone regardless. How much can we charge for steamed buns what 20 30 bucks no i'll add 100 to that no keep going keep going like we go 120. you better believe gratuity is all it's going to be at oh yeah can't wait to get one of these g1 events don't you think it sounds better now that i've

done it for a full day no i don't it's going to sound terrible no matter what because it sucks. No, G1. Go one. Dude, that's what we do. We go. Exactly. F1 is just such an interesting thing. I'm buying in a little bit.

If Andrews stops and gets hurt or something, how did he not win? We got the rights, too. You know what? McLaren just had to pace, AJ. It was their day. You know what they were doing? They just had to pace. Sorry. Okay. You know what? McLaren just had to pace, AJ. It was their day. You know, they were due. They just had to pace. Sorry.

Okay. You know what, though? Max, they did ask Max after, hey, you know, because he kind of got lucky with the pit stop, and Max was kind of like, hey. So if this were to, hey, if my mom had balls, she'd be my dad. You know, it just gave him the credit. So I respect Max for that.

Who are you, Dana White? 2024. Let's get to a break. What that d butch that's what max said what part it wasn't me that was my back set yeah i said in the interview afterwards learned a lot about if ifs and buts were fits if ifs were fits we'd all be drunk i believe is another one that has been said if ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all be something, something. He's saying about Christmas. What's that? I've heard that.

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all be happy at Christmas, I've heard. I don't know if that's it. I don't know how that works or what that means. Well, candy and nuts are a lot of Christmas nuts. Yeah. You store them all year. All the ifs and buts are nuts. You store them for Christmas and all of a sudden Nothing comes out

And it's just fucking all the nuts and candies If my uncle had wheels he'd be a car That's right I hear that a lot If the queen Had a fishing pole She'd be a fisher lady That's what people say

Yeah What are you talking about? That's a new one I've heard that one a What are you talking about? It's a new one. It's a new one. I've heard that one a lot, actually. If I was Irish, I'd eat a lot of potatoes. Boom.

Heard that. Let's get to a break before this goes off the rails. If I smelled like shit. Don't do it. Don't do it. Now's not the time. Don't fucking do it. Let's get to a break.

We'll be back tomorrow. Big Tuesday. Huge. Who do we have on show tomorrow? We got a bunch of people locked in. Monsters. Couldn't tell them. Too many? We got a bunch of people locked in. Monsters.

At noon But he should, he at least needs to come out And celebrate the fact that he won Speed title tonight or no? I believe that's on Speed, which is Wednesdays at noon. Damn it. But he at least needs to come out and celebrate the fact that he won the WWE Speed title. Congrats to Rick on that. We need him on TV more. So they're all back from France. We need more space. All of them are back from France, and all of them are pumped up about France.

Bet they're so pumped to be in Connecticut. They're going to be in a great mood, yeah. From Lyon, France to Connecticut. Everyone says the Hartford is the Lyon of America. When they got back from, I forget where they were, Australia? Yeah. We went on vacation. They went to Australia.

When they were in Australia, it was, you know, every day. Oh, yeah. Show, show, show, show, show. That's when mommy dominated. Yeah, and then they fly all the way back. And I just got off a beach. I was like, Cole, what's up, dude? He's like, what's up?

Yeah. He win? I assume that might be one of, if not top three moments of AJ Styles' career. I'm sorry, that's cool. Did he win? I don't know. That environment. He was shaking while he was standing there.

Thumbs singing. Is there any trades after the draft, or is it just locked in? Let's make some deals. Can we get, like, Tiffy time would be sweet on Raw. Can we get some deals in here? I don't know who's doing that. Is that JBL's doing that for us? Who was in that?

Thank you for watching the dumbest show that has ever existed on a regular basis and somehow have found success. With that being said, be a friend, tell a friend something nice. It might change their life.

We're in this thing together. Team on me. Team on three. One, two, three. Team. Goodbye.
