Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to our Humble Abode, the Thunderdome. On this Feel Good Friday, August 9th, 2024, this program starts now. Football! That sounds so good. It feels so good. Last night there was a couple games. Most of us could only watch one unless we had NFL Plus, which is a fantastic app, obviously. But only one of the games was watched by a majority of the people. And both of them kind of had the same story.

The damn weather got involved. What are we taking away from the first preseason games? Well, I think there's a couple highlights that we'll certainly go through here in a matter of moments. I also believe there are some things we can take away from some of these younger players. Did they look composed? Did they look confident? Were they bitching? Were they a problem?

No, no, no. Check all the boxes. Last night was a success, and now we move forward to three games tonight in a weekend slate of football with some starters playing in a spattering attempt of games. So the NFL is all the way back, seemingly, and we have all eyes on the NFL season starting in just, let's head to the talks at the table at Boston Corner. 27 days. Let's go. Let's go.. 27 days. Let's go.

We're close. Let's go. How many until college football? 15 days. Oh my! 15 days. Now, I'm not the smartest person. One week is 7 days. 15 divided by 7 is 2 point

whatever 1 7th of 1 is. So we are just over two weeks away from college football happening? Yep. Two weeks from tomorrow. We can make it two weeks to anything. Simple. We've been able to grind and battle through

a bunch of sports that have stunk and acted like we were interested. We've talked about storylines that are not real as if they were real because we had to in the moment of the time of the offseason. But just how many days? 27 days for NFL, 15 for college.

Then we'll get a chance to go ahead and chit-chat and have our lives be totally consumed by actual football and actual hunts and actual chases of championship trophies. That's right. Life is beautiful. Hell yeah. At Ty Schmidt, it's not just football that's happening in this particular offseason. The Olympics have continued to show up and show out for us in a time where normally we don't have anything. Training camp normally comes around and we get all jacked up about pads getting put on.

And then about three days into training camp, we go, this sucks. Hate everything we're talking about here. Don't like the injuries that are taking place. Don't like the seasons that are over. Don't like the holdout drama that's taking place between teams. I like how much action, obviously, the holdouts and the drama brings to us. But it normally gets tiresome quick. The Olympics have been able to hold our attention a little bit.

Yeah, they have. Whenever there's been a little bit of a drought and stuff that we don't want to talk about, the Olympics have been captivating. They've been mesmerizing. The Olympics have been wonderful. And yesterday, I think, was maybe the biggest day for the Olympics since it started. Yeah, without a doubt. And kudos to the people who schedule the events in the Olympics because I think

we were all talking about it. We were kind of getting Olympic fatigue in there when you get in the middle of the second week. It's like, okay, we've watched so much. We're kind of ODing on Olympic coverage. But then, boom, yesterday we get, you know, arguably, I mean, just speaking for me personally, and I think

a lot of the guys on Team USA echoed the sentiment. Like, I'll remember watching that game with you guys in here for a long time. That was one of the most incredible, I mean, it just, it made you feel proud to be an American. Yeah, should we have blown it out? And I'm proud to be an American!

Where at least I know I'm free. And we win. And we win. And it was an incredible game. And getting to see Steph and KD and LeBron at the same time, I mean, it was just amazing. I'm all the way back. Speaking of, let's go to the game that's going to be talked about for centuries,

generations, decades at least, with Team USA battling against Serbia. And I'll tell you what, these itches got better since the first time we played them. These itches really started balling. And these itches were not going away whenever our greatest were battling. Yesterday will be forever remembered as the Steph Curry showed up for the entire United States of America game. It started out early.

He had the rock. First quarter, Steph Curry in the corner. Steph Curry shit, balls in the corner. Steph Curry, shit. Ball's in the air. FIBA, how you doing? Keep it moving. But look at the scoreboard. It's 15-13.

All of a sudden, still in the first quarter. 20-7-20 as Steph Curry puts in 17 points. So Steph has a hell of a first quarter. It does not matter because that particular man is still playing basketball for Serbia. That's Joker. That man had just buried that three. Bogdan Bogdanovich doing the tray gun to Carmelo Anthony and his son sitting courtside. Should have done that. Should have done that. You disrespect Melo. You disrespect Braun. You disrespect the United States of America. And all of a sudden the boys woke up. We're talking about like a 34 to 20 or something like that fourth quarter deficit. The flip of the switch happened and the United States of America

started getting greedy on both ends of the court. On the offensive side, obviously he pissed off Carmelo. The beast LeBron took the tape off his eye and went crazy. But as we were cooking, as we were playing our best ball, these Serbs did not quit. Right there, we take a one-point lead, 87-86. They huck up a three. Is the situation getting a little tight for Serbia? Oh, no. Braun, board, coast-to-coast, reverse layup. We're up three all of a sudden. What happened to the Serbian teams that weren't missing? What happened to the Serbia team that weren't making any mistakes? Steph Curry, steal, coast-to coast to coast layup. We're up five in the fourth quarter whenever we're down 15 with 11 seconds to go in the third quarter. Everybody was talking about maybe this was going to be the worst loss in the history of USA

basketball, and there was a chance it was going to happen because that dude was making plays from the beginning until the end. 91-89. Who do you put the ball in the hands of? Kevin Durant gets to his spot multiple times late in the fourth and knocks it down joel and bead had a massive game both defensively and on the offensive side steph curry goes crazy almost breaks an olympic record of carmelo anthony who is sitting courtside lebron james has a triple double and now we head to the finals to take on wemby in the french in france should be electrifying and i loved everything about that game. It was awesome because you could tell that the boys cared. Yeah.

You know, you could tell that the boys were coming together. You could tell that the boys were setting the ego aside and saying, hey, we got to get this win. Tatum still doesn't play, which was certainly being questioned for about three and a half quarters. Oh, yeah, for sure. As we're watching shit happen, we're like, so Tatum can't? for about three and a half quarters.

Oh, yeah, for sure. As we're watching shit happen, we're like, so Tatum can't? The six-foot-eight guy who can guard everybody, make any shot, and given that we can't find a role for him. Steve Kerr, this guy's the worst coach in the history of coaching. What the hell is Spolster doing over there? Is anybody talking? Is Ty Luce saying anything, Steve Kerr?

Why is this going the way that it's going? We're going to be playing for bronze? We're going to be playing for bronze? Thanks. And then all of a sudden it all clicked, and they all started playing great ball. And it was almost like We're going to be playing for bronze. We're going to be playing for bronze. And then all of a sudden, it all clicked. And they all started playing great ball. And it was almost like an emotional moment for all of us here. And Ty talked about watching. It was real. We were completely plugged in, dialed in,

watching that entire game. And for three and a half quarters, we were bummed out. Because we know what has been said about these American basketball players by everybody seemingly over the last three years. It's the world's game now. The world has caught up. It is no longer the United States of America's game. The boys heard that. Steph Curry acknowledged it. And in the biggest game against the best player on earth in Joker, what everybody says, okay, which makes sense because

of what he is and how he is, they get a massive comeback victory and go into the finals. And now they're going to take happiness from the host country? It is a beautiful thing. Let Kevin Durant chit-chat about it here immediately afterwards in the family room, I do believe, after this historic win. Come on, man. How can you not celebrate a win like that? Look at all our families. Look at this.

You know what I'm saying? Like, that's what this is about. You know what I mean? We're all coming together as one on the other side of the world like this. Starting USA Chances chance our section start USA Special tonight, so we got to celebrate. I'm not gonna act like it's not you know man. I know you want to go but celebrate the small moments to Guarantee everybody here. They'll never forget about this night

Everybody here will never this night for the rest of their lives. That's how special this is. And because we came back, and we show how together we were in that fourth quarter. He's seeking a fourth gold medal, obviously, in the Olympics. He would also say in another interview, like, this is the best team I've ever been a part of. And he also talked about how tight the team is. And if you saw in front of him, there was like four Lipton iced teas there. Lipton iced tea, a lot of caffeine. He said

we're going to enjoy this night. He enjoyed the entirety of the night. We found out on Twitter he had time. And he was heee! I mean, he was heee! on people until 6 a.m. local time. So Kevin Durant had time last night. Especially for the American folks that potentially are

Nuggets fans that are pulling for Joker in Serbia to beat the United States of America. Kevin Durant didn't have any time for that bullshit, as he shouldn't have. Yeah. It's the Olympics now. It's despicable. I will say, Sidney Crosby with Canada. Don't do that. You know?

Don't do it today. When he scored, like immediately as he scored to beat the United States of America, sick. I mean, like no angle. I go, Sidney Crosby's so good. But then I immediately go, fuck him. But there is that moment where you're happy for the guy who has brought so much to your town and to your team. So the Nuggets fans openly cheering for Serbia, I don't love. I don't love, but I understand where they like Joker. And on the flip side, I completely understand

where the tarantula on the defensive side yesterday, breaking it down, getting us clean. I mean, we're not even thinking about that. I also love that he's dunking on him. For America, he also came out with a quote, said, what does he say? A lot of bullshit happens in America, but a lot of great things happen in America too. It is cool to watch everybody buy in to the moment the Olympics is. It's not just this. Simone Biles was a Snoop Dogg. She was at a track event.

She said, it's the first time I've ever got to watch an event. It feels like Team USA is really taking it serious, and America needs it. So, hey, men's basketball team, feels like you're almost at the forefront of this, because you're the biggest stars that are ever there. We appreciate the hell out of you. Let's go fucking win the hell out of you let's go win the gold boys let's go win

the gold boys let's take those frenchies happiness let's thank them for their hospitality seems like everywhere every event is sold out filled up feels like people are going to talk about these olympic games as if it was a great bounce back after covid and everything like that so we appreciate what the french have been able to do. Poop in the water. Sure. Some other stuff that happened. Oh, yeah. That's always going to take place.

But I think it's time to let the French know it's our sport. And they might have Wemby. And they might have Gobert. Mm-hmm. And they might have some others. A couple other French. But let's go ahead and let's win this thing, boys. We're proud of you.

Thank you for making America proud. And thank you for representing for all of us. Hell, yeah. Let's head over to Hammer Don with some more Olympic updates. Tone Diggs, what do we got, pal? Yeah, Pat, let's start in the 200-meter men's final yesterday. Yeah, where Noah Lyles was looking to be the first American since Carl Lewis in 1984 to win the 100 and the 200 gold in the same Olympics.

And tell you what, he came out. His entrance was electric. He really just didn't get it done on the track, though. I don't know. Someone said something about maybe he had some breathing issues. I'm not sure. No, he had COVID. He had COVID.

Oh. He tested positive for COVID before he was introduced. He actually had a mask on because he was in a confined space. Then he came out, did his celebration song and dance because of how confident he is, how explosive he is. And a lot of people are holding that over his head. They're saying, well, if you were sick, you had COVID, which we hope he survives. By the way, remember, that's a big deal. Nobody was doing that with the NFL.

We were the only show, check it, only show in the history of sports during COVID. Whenever somebody would be announced that they had COVID, everybody's like, well, they're going to miss two weeks. Miss two weeks? What about the rest of their life? Hopefully they don't miss that. Let's hope they survive. No kidding. Now, it turned out I don't think anybody in the NFL did.

Thank you. Cool. Thank God. Dodge that bullet. I mean, it got real loud there for a bit. Thank you, Jesus. There was a chance. And we lost a lot of people.

But the athletes in the NFL hopefully hopefully Noah is okay long-term. You know, they cover long-term, too. You can learn about that. You can get that for a few years or whatever. I think, once again, there's no DR in front of my name. I'm going to have to ask one of those. But the fact that Noah Lowes did have COVID, it wasn't announced until after the race. Post-race.

Right after. Because the night before, Noah's guaranteed a victory. He did. He guaranteed a victory. You guarantee the victory. He said, I'm going to run him down no matter what. That's his thing. And then he came out and did the whole song and dance beforehand. Then does the race.

Then he loses. It was going to be tough for anybody to take it serious. But then he was in a wheelchair. So we need to remember. Sure. COVID is not, I mean, that would suck to be a sprinter with COVID, but maybe night before say, I'm running tomorrow with COVID. So then we kind of...

Don't do the whole entrance where you waste a lot of energy. Keep the mask on for the entrance so it's more of a... And the race. Yeah, and the race. Come out with some chicken noodle soup. Yeah, chicken noodle soup, smart idea. Maybe some horse Sponsorship.

Blow your nose. Well, some horse paste, maybe. If it helps. Just come out and really... So, with the wheelchair, did he get COVID, though? Well, we don't know yet. That's what we're saying. We don't know what's happening.

Also, half-ripped thing. Wasn't even able to rip the whole thing. Right. He's weak. It's a big time. I didn't like the amount of people that were celebrating Noah losing. Okay, now Noah's asked for it. Sure. noah has talked on a lot of different sports he's a world champion a lot of different athletes has done a lot he's brought a lot of attention to himself but he's also brought a lot of honor to united hell yeah amen right first time in 20 years

they won the 100 meter bingo and the reason why is because of his work ethic on the little things that is why yeah bingo that is why we went so let's make sure we also celebrate no allows while saying hey no he asked for this yep what you're allowed to do you know you're allowed to that that's going to happen in sports forever go ahead bronze nothing to sneeze at kitty but eric the fellow american got silver and tobogo won that and tobogo actually had some uh things to say about noah lyles after really yeah not great i think uh for me i can't be the the face of athletics because uh i'm not uh an arrogant or a loud person like noah so i believe noah is the face of athletics so i bet narek was sitting there next to a team usa member just going yeah you're saying the inside part outside right now yeah

sitting there next to a team USA member just going, geez, you're saying the inside part outside right now. These are the inside voice. So then I wondered whenever I heard that, thank you for reminding me that he said that, because I was like, English must be like second language. So he probably arrogant, confident. You know, those are probably in some languages, words that are next to each other.

And then we did the research and it turns out. Yeah, they do speak English over there. And then the national language, I believe, is Suwanese. But most people in Botswana do speak English. Okay, so he met everybody. Yeah, he knew what he was saying. Yeah, and Ben Derrick was like, Valley, Valley, Valley, Valley.

Nailed it. Well, he got second. They're not talking about me. They're talking about Noah. But Noah also, not just arrogant and loud, produces. Yeah. So that's a whole other piece of it. And I'm not cocky.

I'm confident. So when I tell you I'm the best, and when you tell me I'm the best, it's a compliment or whatever, is the bar I think from back in the day. Oh, I should have remembered that better and easier and quicker. But nonetheless, he's backed it up for America

for a long time. 200 meters. It didn't look good. No. Because there was a time in there where we were like, oh, this is when Noah pulls away here. Just like we've been seeing from the Hawker. Exactly. And we've been seeing it from the other races.

Quincy. Quincy. We've been seeing Quincy on the 400. This one, we've been seeing it. Noah just didn't have it. He's been battling COVID. Chest hurts. Head hurts.

Probably has been a little bit drossy. A little bit Donossy, a little bit donned. Because his pre-race song and dance was nowhere near as electrifying as the 100. So maybe we should have noticed that. Like, ooh, pizzazz, a little lower. A little lower pizzazz than normal. But people are burying him, Tone. What else happened

in the Olympics yesterday? Yeah, we didn't get gold there, but we did get a few golds on the track yesterday. We'll start with Cindy McLaughlin LeBron, who is just she hasn't lost a 400-meter hurdle since 2019. She won gold in Tokyo. Hell, yeah. She's only 25 years old, too. So there's a good chance she's going to be back in 28 in L.A. to defend her title there.

She won there. World record, right? Yeah, her own world record. Yeah, she broke her own world record there. I believe she'll be competing in the 4x400 as well trying to get gold there uh tara davis woodhall she won the uh long jump yesterday for the u.s as well and then in the 110 meter hurdles which that was awesome okay we won uh gold and silver in there gold went to grant holloway who just put on an awesome performance for the u.s. So we got three golds there.

We are down in the gold count right now, though. What? To who? China. Son of a bitch. They're up by two. Two? But we still got all the track. We got basketball.

I think the diving and I think the ping pong and all that stuff is over. So I still think we're going to do it, Pat, to be honest with you. Put that graphic back up, please. Okay okay so this is as of this morning you said they're up two now so they've got another one yep yep so 32 to 30 they're currently up and i'll tell you i guess we should have expected this but i'm gonna tell you i didn't yeah i did not expect this at all i i thought we were going to win it all. There's some events that China just clean sweeps. Big time.

That's kind of what we've been doing, though, with track. Yes. So we need to keep that going. Breaking, we're going to win. Well, yeah. I would think so. Right? I mean, Tone, that is a guarantee that we get the dub there. We watched some of that this morning.

Brand new sport. Yeah, I think there's a chance Azkaban or... Logistics. Logistics. I think Logistics. What? I think Logistics. Azkaban.

I think there's a good chance Logistics brings home the gold for breaking. I think this should definitely be an Olympic sport. Okay. I think this should definitely be an Olympic sport. Okay. Tony. Tony didn't sound as thrilled as the breaking community was. For the debut of break dancing as an Olympic sport, the line wrapped around the beach twice.

They packed out those bleachers that they put in that public space, and thank God it's not raining because I couldn't even imagine a little stickiness on that particular surface. I will say watching them do this is certainly something you go, whoa, to. But then you wonder to yourself, how are they going to score this? Well, good news. Ty did a full dive into how they're scoring it. Ty, how will they be scoring this particular?

Yeah, so they basically made up a bunch of words that they're going to be using. But amongst those things. Would you say mumbo jumbo? A lot of mumbo jumbo. I think that actually is one of the uh no i didn't know vocabulary is huge and i know you're thinking like oh they end this like a rap battle i can get out like a thesaurus and then go you know toe to toe and see who can can come up with the best words no vocabulary is basically your command of a uh a long move set so you know can are you doing a bunch of different crazy shit to really show like yes you're a master of breaking that's really how

they dive in and and decide it and what's even cooler is you got these announcers on here who same deal are just acting like they're you know the best of the best they've been around this doing it for a long time. Maybe they have, but this is the first time we're ever seeing this. So you're watching it feeling like a real jackass because a guy will be like, and look at her just absolutely nail that freeze right there. That's a pitch perfect freeze. We have no idea what they're talking about.

These guys, they know. They know what vocabulary they need to be using out there. Musicality, I saw. Yeah, musicality is obviously. Because everybody can break, but tying it back to the song. Yeah, so if you're vibing. So it's like if you have rhythm plus also the ability to. Right.

And I assume the Jabberwockies are Team USA. Yes, yes. Now, logistics, I don't know if that's like a Jabberwockie alternative because she's a force to be reckoned with out there. But, yeah, the Wockies, rumor has it, though, they're not going to be reckoned with out there but but yeah the walkies um rumor has it though they're not going to be able to dance with their masks on so they won't be there because that kind of that affects the vocabulary the musicality and and whatnot so i guess in a sense they're like a dj where you don't really know who's underneath the mask yeah so what

if everybody that's in this is jabberwocky if what if it because the jabberwocky is probably an international crew yeah we had to guess oh yeah the the best break oh bang pow boom stand on head spin do the whole thing what if everybody in this is jabberwocky we never know right we never know because the only one jabberwocky i knew was uh shaquille o'neal remember he put the mask on we knew it was him yeah all-star game we knew that was shaquille o'neal. Remember, he put the mask on. We knew it was him. All-star game. We knew that was Shaquille O'Neal. And then he took it off. We're like, yep, thought it was Shaq. The big diesel. That's what we thought it was.

Breaking interesting, Tone. It is certainly an interesting thing. As we were watching it, we were rather flabbergasted about how they're going to pick a winner. Sure. Because somebody does a headstand McTwisty. I think that's pretty sweet. But I guess the next person has a different flair of musicality with their headstand. Right.

McTwisty. Who are the judges? Do we know who the judges are? I have no idea. I mean, who is it? Is it the Jabbawockeez? Mario Lopez used to host America's Best Dance Crew, so it would only make sense. I mean, he's seen the Jabbawockeez night in, night out. He knows what

gold medal, world-class breaking looks like. Simon Cowell, maybe. I didn't hear either one of their voices. I think Jenna Dewan, potentially. Channing Tatum's ex-wife. Maybe Derek Hough. AGT.

They just get the AGT judges. No, because there is a dancing one. They're dancing with the celebs. So you think you can dance? So you think you can dance. That's another one. There it is. So maybe like the guy who used to host America's Home Videos?

Oh, the guy reading Rainbow Guy? Tom Bergeron. Oh, yeah, maybe. I don't know. The reading Rainbow Guy? You want to get LeVar Burton on there? That works. We would like America to win this.

Yeah, we would. It's up and coming. But as we were watching it, we did struggle to be like, sumo wrestling's on here? Like what other sports are not it might be a one and done or this might be a gateway to more sports and activities you'll be getting in because obviously it is very difficult to do what they're doing the technicalities of it all the amount of work that goes in there but as we're watching like how is this ever going to get a fair shake on who wins so you're saying breaking is the sigs of the Olympic dancing community?

Maybe we just go straight to rap battles and just have actual rapping. Because breaking is like art, right, to people? So now... You could say it's art. Tony, come on. I mean, if we're going to do rap battles, let's just do Yo Mama battles.

Yeah. You have that same judge. Nick Cannon will host. We need a DJ with the dings and the points. And rock, paper, scissors. See, that's what I'm talking about. We need rock, paper, scissors in there. Because there's real strategy. There's real gamesmanship.

There's a definitive champion. Easy to see who wins, who loses. And he can make it a best of 11. H1 if you want to really make it a thing. I think I like the breaking is in because it does potentially set a precedent for other things

to get in there. But as we were watching it as noobs. Sure. Now granted, I've been to plenty of nightclubs and I hope that's

where we scouted because I've seen some fuckers in Pittsburgh that can really pop, lock, and drop at the same damn time. I am a fan of being able

to do that in public it is a show stealer it is a crowd pleaser okay like always will be but as an olympic sport that's going to be tough i think to figure out as you go forward but hopefully the best breaker wins yeah hopefully the best breaker wins anything else happening tone uh yeah we're about to win a gold in wrestling with spence lee because that's absolutely going to happen and when when he wins that gold, a lot's been made about how much he's going to make. I think the gold for the U.S. is like $35,000. It's nothing compared to what Carlos Yulo of the Philippines made. Okay?

Not sure if you've seen this, Pat, what the Philippines make when they win a gold. Yulo. Yulo. Oh, yeah. You get it, brother. So when you win a gold medal for the Philippines, because I don't think they win that many golds, you get a treasure trove of items, okay? Amen.

Starting with a lifetime of free colonoscopy starting at 45. That's good. It is good. You need to get those earlier, though. Yeah. You took the words out of my mouth. I recommend you, the Philippines should probably do that maybe 35, 30, something like that. A furnished condo and a house because, you know, when you win a gold medal at the Philippines,

you're going to need a side house, if know what i mean homes one for the one for the bingo he also gets over two hundred thousand dollars in cash i don't know if that's u.s cash or what currency we're talking about an iphone 16 i don't know if that's the latest iphone or not is that the newest one because you don't want it immediately upon release true it's coming out yeah so he's going to need about two of those yeah because you're going to need about two of those. Yeah. Because you're going to need to get in. Because this is still the 15 from immediate release.

Yep. And it sucks. Yeah. This thing is crap. But I can't get a new one until the new one has been bugged. Right. And figured out. Yeah.

Vetted. So I'm staring at a few months still before I even get a new one. Yeah. But this is what they got us. Yeah. I like that they added it in, though. Because I even waited a little bit, and mine is also cropped. Yeah.

Why is it so cropped? Ulo's should be good. Maybe that's the thing with the 16. It's like, hey, the cool feature of this phone is right away it's good. It won't be cropped. Yeah. Because the iPhone has gotten worse somehow. Yes.

Well. Technology's supposed to get better. Where are they making them? This is the quinceanera of iPhone. This should be great. You're right so that iphone 16 we're saying to old buddy wait a few months after the iphone 16 is released and cash it out and then yeah let's delay i want my iphone and on the colonoscopies let's cash in the 70 80 year old ones for now right you know so we can get it start getting he needs to do a little bit of negotiating with this although we love what they're giving to him... He needs to do a little bit of negotiating with this.

Although we love what they're giving to him. Yeah. He needs to do a little bit of negotiating. Yeah, obviously he's getting the free cookies from the local bakery

and the free food for life from the multiple local restaurants. Wow. You can't sleep on that. And then lastly, my favorite thing is a free engineer education because if you engineer

for a guy for a day, okay, he's going to engineer for that day. But if you teach a man to engineer for a life, he's going to engineer forever. No. He's going teach a man to engineer for a life he's going to engineer forever. He's going to build a car.

You give a man a fish he can eat for a day. You teach him how to fish he can eat for a lifetime. You try to sneak the engineering thing in there. You give me a cheeseburger today, I'll pay you tomorrow for it. Yeah, that's really nice. What if we teach you how to...

Anyways, all right. Anyways, go ahead. I was going to say, what if that's his iPhone? Like, hey, you get the iPhone, but you got to build it on your own after you get your engineering degree. I do love the fact that all the countries and what they give out for medals was released publicly. Yeah. Because you see the places that like, hey, we've never won this. What else? Koldos. Fuck. Yeah. Toss it in there. For the rest've never won. What else? Colonoscopy.

Yeah. Toss it in there. For the rest of your life. We got to sponsor. Food. Yeah. Whatever you want, dude. For the rest of your life.

You want a phone? Sweet. Phone. Give it to you. Two houses? I want an apartment. Okay. You want a house?

You want a gold? Okay. You got it. And then this guy goes out and wins. Congrats. They need to start breaking, maybe. It feels like that's when you could, I don't want to say steal gold. I don't want to say that

because then it would be earned. You could maybe steal one. There's no precedent on any of the judgment. We're heavy favorites. Are we? Yeah. In breaking? We better be.

On the men's side, for sure. I forget the guy's name, but he is the heavy favorite. He was on the Today Show explaining it and everything. Is he allowed to use the cardboard? Because I'll see. the cardboard helps him slide. That's right. The rain might

be a huge factor. Yeah, but it might not be good. Yeah, it could hurt you. Rain could make if there's a little moisture, it could make it sticky too, depending upon what the thing is. You need to have a rain routine. I used to be a moonwalker. I used to moonwalk pretty good. Very clean moonwalk. Maybe one of the best things I've ever

done in my life is moonwalk on a regular basis. What do you mean used to be? I haven't done it in years. And now's not the time to debut it. I used to... I'll bust it out this year at some point. And it'll be like, oh, this motherfucker... This guy can moonwalk?

Is that a part of the musicality in this break? I would assume so, yeah. Well, that could be vocabulary. If they bust out a boom, bang, pow, and a moonwalk to the other side, and a backflip comes in. Right. Like, there's a chance we see some incredible stuff. The gymnastics, right, has already happened.

But there's precedent on how it's all judged. Yes. Is there, like, breaking, like, contests that are already happening that we know what the precedent of the judgment looks like i would assume so but i mean for an olympic gold medal like maybe for like a 250 gift card to like the mall like where they're doing most of these breaking competitions but i don't know about a gold medal when you got houses and condos all right thank you ton we appreciate All right.

Joining us now is a man that is in the middle of vacation in Michael Lombardi's town. Ladies and gentlemen, pundit for ESPN that works 24 hours a day for about the next five months once football starts, the guru for quarterback play and football as a whole, Dan Orlowski. Yeah, Dan! What's up? Dan, how you doing? Thanks for taking time out of the vacation over there in Jersey

to chit-chat a little bit about ball with us. Of course. Fantastic. I'm doing well. We need to get some better weather at the beach, but what's going on? What, is it raining? It's raining over there? Has it been the whole time? It rained Wednesday and Thursday pretty consistently. Today is okay, but if you've got kids at the beach, you probably know this now, a day of rain feels like a week. I guess there was a hurricane that has happened, but the weather has obviously affected a lot of things. Hope you get a chance

to walk at Boer Walk. Over there at Jersey Shore, get some t-shirts. Saltwater taffy. Maybe a little bop, bop, bop. We know that Jersey Shore. We've been there. And if you see Snooki, tell her we said we're big fans. And also Pauly D, the whole crew. See, that's like northern Jersey Shore.

We're down at like the southern Jersey Shore. Northern Jersey Shore, I think, is like you're talking about maybe. No, Wildwood is southern. So we're in Seattle City, so it's like south of Atlantic City. I think what you're talking about is like an hour north of Atlantic City. Oh, interesting. Masquan, I think south, right? Seaside, maybe.

Seaside, Lavalette, Long Beach Island. Masquan's a good town. Love Masquan. Masquan's a good town. Never been there. You walk in the boardwalk. Michael, you'll see Michael Lombardi. Anyways, let's talk about.

What town is Lombardi's? I think all of them. He'll know if you're there. Believe me. You'll have to check in. You know how it works. You understand how it goes. Talking about the weather.

Did we learn anything last night from any of these games? I honestly was so bummed out. Drake May gets one drive, one series. Jacoby obviously gets one series. But with Drake, there was four handoffs. I think there was an overthrow. Was it an overthrow? Was it slick?

There was a screen on a third and 12 to pick up a first down. He looked comfortable, looked confident. With how bad the weather was, did we learn anything from anybody in that particular games that took place last night? Yeah, I liked a lot of the little things that I saw out of Drake May, and I understand they're little things and they're kind of boring, so I don't know if they were planning on only playing him that really one series, I think.

Mayo said that was the plan. He did say that afterwards, but who knows? You know, that could just be. Yeah. I would have liked to see maybe another series, but I did like the little things. Like, we have to remember, and I'm looking at Drake very similar in the prism that I did with Jordan Love, and I've kind of said that since they drafted him.

So, you know, Drake was a kid that very rarely, if ever, went under center. Very rarely, if ever, handed the ball in a, you know, outside of like a dive right behind the center. Very rarely had to like work on the proper mechanics of handing the football off. And then his feet is something that I talked about just very similar to Jordan. We're all over the place and very unstructured. And so what I saw last night, I was looking for any of those things improved upon. The screen pass, great. I couldn't care less about

that but um well first time what a throw no but seriously I was looking at how did he look under center for a kid who very rarely if ever did it when it came to getting the snaps you know a lot of times with kids that come from college and they don't take snaps from the center and you're gonna have to in the NFL I know we do it more shotgun now than we did 20 years ago but like a lot of times guys wait for the ball to hit their hands and then they move and one of the things that you get taught is when that when you like say hot expect that snap to start you want to kind of be moving with those guys so it's really crisp and efficient in movement and it looked like he had relative comfort in doing that it wasn't like hey ball got snapped and then he got the ball and

then moved so i know that might sound silly but for a guy who's running alex van pelt's offense which is going to be west coast which is going to be that shanahan type stuff like that's that's going to be a big part of what they do. So I liked that. I liked his mechanics in that play-action pass miss to Rager, which is a little bit of a high throw, a little bit of a drop. Wobble. Again, yeah, but like, dude, pouring rain. But, I mean, it's a catchable ball in my opinion.

I'd like the ball to be six inches lower, surely. But, again, the mechanics of it of ball fake, one hitch, holding those defenders, and then getting the ball out at the proper time, proper location, I liked that. And I think more often than not, that's going to be a completion. So again, he didn't do that a lot at Carolina. And then that last completion he has, which is that check down, I think he said after the game, like, oh, maybe I could have held it a little bit longer. Dude, that's the only place to go with the football in that situation. And I like the fact that he did it so quickly.

So people might think, oh, my gosh, dude, we're talking about running back or handing the ball. That stuff matters to me when you're building the foundation of that young player. Remember, we had a very similar conversation last year after C.J. Stroud's first game, preseason game. And I'm not saying Drake May is going to have a C.J. Stroud year or anybody is ever going to have a C.J. Stroud year ever again. I'm not saying that. But after his first preseason game, literally what we said was, hey, look comfortable in the huddle, looked comfortable getting the snap.

He handed the ball off, was able to be confident seemingly, looked like everybody was respecting him. Like, he just looked the part. And he even threw a pick at the end of his. Against New England, sure. Yeah And he even threw a pick at the end of his. Against New England, sure. Yeah, he even threw a pick at the end of his thing. And everybody was like, okay. He looked comfortable.

He threw a pick. Just say what it is. It's like this is their first NFL snap in an NFL in a very different operation, very different system, new guy. You're no longer the big man on campus. This is not your team. Drake May led North Carolina in rushing and passing two years ago he was he's drake may his brothers are literally chapel hill royalty like it's a whole new world everything seemed the part which i think is what we take away from that particular game on the flip side yeah you know

uh okay look good the um the thought of the returnerer Being a guy for you guys is big deal Yeah, David Wallace I mean, kind of continuing the street of like A random small white guy Who has a huge punt return And then all of a sudden Might turn into somebody And he's wearing number 30

Like, is there any He plays wide receiver And he's wearing 30 So it kind of gives you that vibe Like, oh, this is Edelman This guy is going to be Drake Mays Edelman That's going to be fun.

Yeah, so I think that was the takeaway. And then Johnny Hecker's a dog, and we just move on. Okay, that is what we take from that game. Let's go to the rainy Lions and Giants game. I was not able to see the entirety of this game because it was on NFL Plus, which I am obviously a subscriber of, but on TV it's a lot easier, especially whenever you've got life and everything like that. Big takeaway from there,

Hennon Holker gets a concussion for the Lions. But he did have a couple plays. Did you watch the game? Have you seen anything? And what is your takeaway from Lions and Giants? Oh my. Yeah, I didn't watch that game. I saw some of the highlights. I think more of the

practice video that I've seen that has kind of surfaced on the internet of some of the neighbor stuff, the fights, obviously. That's kind of a little bit more of my stuff than the game I didn't watch last night. What did you see from the fights? Because we've talked about this a couple times. The NFL sent memos to every general manager, head coach, I think scout think scout exec literally every person on their email list the nfl sent out memos about these joint practices and now they can't just become melees

like this is not what these are supposed to be about this is not what the nfl is about we don't want people who aren't nfl fans to see these clips would be like the nfl is they're out of control wild animals i don't think there's any other option. And I understand I'm a doofus, and we are very clear about that every single day. Of course. We are not setting any other expectations. But from being there and witnessing and watching people's dreams either coming true or insurance being sold for the rest of their life, or making a team or not making a team, and then people's toughness being questioned by people because it's the men's league now this isn't thing i don't know how joint practices don't

turn into fights at some points and if you don't stick up for your teammate that's ruining your locker room persona pretty much like i don't know how you don't fight there or love am i wrong and think of that i legitimately don't know how they don't turn into fights. I appreciate the NFL being like, hey, this can't be what it is. And coaches, you need to say it. Coaches like it. And then we're hearing from potential ownership of the Giants was happy that the Giants fought back and said just give it to them. I was just going to say, there's also teams that need it.

There's also teams that at some point you sit back and you're like, hey, we're not going to allow any of us to push us around anymore like you're not gonna just allow us because we haven't like the Giants are a perfect example the Giants have been pushed around a little bit they had Gables first year and they were fantastic when it came to storylines and he was coach of the year and whatnot but they've been punked a little bit they've been pushed around a little bit and really like the guy that has been their face or at least the person that we attach the toughness of New York to with Saquon's isn't there. So, like, I love the fact that Neighbors is bringing a little attitude, a little juice, a little bit of like, hey, I don't know what's happened before I got here, but I didn't happen in anymore.

And especially against the Lions that have become like the bully on the block. And so I love that. We've all seen it a ton. But I love what neighbors has brought to that offense. As far as the clips that I've seen, I mean, it looks like real juice in the NFL. I'm not just talking about energy. I'm talking about a dude that can change a football team type of thing, or at least change an offense, like a dude that looks like a real difference maker.

A dog. A dog. Which was literally the entire Hard Knocks about drafting him. That is all Dayball wanted. That's all Joe Shane. The amount of times Joe Shane and Dayball explained what a dog was to the producers, and then they use it. We are looking for dogs.

Well, what are dogs, Coach? Well, if you have to ask, you'll never understand. But here is what we are looking for. I think he boosts Daniel Jones too, right? I think he gives a little bit more pizzazz and maybe a little bit more confidence in Moxie. I don't want to say more attitude, but I think he does. I think he naturally brings that too, don't you?

Yeah, absolutely. More of confidence in regards to being like, more attitude but i think he does i think he naturally brings that too don't you yeah absolutely more of confidence in regards to being like hey i don't care who you have covering my guy my guy's gonna whoop you and so is i don't care what like i don't even have to be good sometimes you know like as a quarterback sometimes you have a guy like that it frees you up to to know like you don't have to be perfect dude like you could as long as you throw the ball somewhere near him something good is more likely than not going to happen. And that gives you such an aggressive mindset. I remember that with Reggie Wayne.

Reggie was like that. As a quarterback, I'm just going to throw it towards Reggie. Because he just had that killer mindset. Pierre Garçon was like that. Calvin was like that. Andre Johnson, who just went to the Hall of Fame, was like that. They just like that. Andre Johnson, who just went to the Hall of Fame, was like that, where they just had that moxie and that juice about them. And as a quarterback, you were like, I don't necessarily know what I'm looking at here, and I'm just

throwing it towards you, and we're going to be okay, just because you have such a confidence in it. See, that mindset, I think, is what every one of those wide receivers or guys that think they're one of those wide receivers want their quarterback to have. Because whenever guys aren't getting balls or targets, I guess is the new stat that they say, they go, well, the way they're covering you,

you don't have any targets. Every wide receiver is like, I'm open. You just throw the ball. I am open. It does not matter. Malik Nabors has that, obviously. It's like Jamar Chase. Yeah, I'm open. They're shading a state. It does not matter. Malik Nabors has that, obviously. It's like Jamar Chase. Yeah, I'm open. No, they're shading a state. I don't care.

I'm going to get the ball. And if the quarterback stops feeding that, that's when it becomes, oh, so I'm not open? So that's where issues could potentially happen. And, Pat, I'd also add this, too. When you have a guy like that it also gives you the it shifts your mindset from being a defensive thrower to an aggressive thrower because you you start to try to make these throws that maybe are a little bit riskier but you're like i can make

this throw as long as i put it somewhere around this area it also triggers in your mind like hey he won't let the other team get it. You know, like, that frees you up mentally as well, too. Like, he'll just find a way to make sure the other team doesn't get the ball also. Hey, some of those wide receivers have good DB skills. Oh, yeah. Great. Some of them have good DB skills. And that's big hug from quarterback whenever you get back.

Speaking of hugs, a lot of them are needed seemingly down in Dallas. Go ahead, Ty. Yeah, Dan, it seems like every year when we do this with the Cowboys, there's really no middle ground. It's either, hey, Super Bowl or, you know, the other half of America is going to say that they're going to suck. But I assume you saw the recent clip of Jerry Jones talking about the C.D. Lamb situation.

I think we have it. Are you saying there's a sense of urgency as you begin the preseason to get C.D CD done? No. No. Why do you say that? I'm just, I went to high school. I went to college. I don't know why I said it, but I'm just saying I don't know. I don't have a sense of urgency about getting a dunk. It is a long-standing tradition. Pick any reason you want. I was at Nobu two days ago. Give that as a reason.

He's just saying, here's a matter of facts. I went to high school. I went to college. I was at Nobu. I don't have a sense of urgency. I don't have a reason for you. I just don't have a sense of urgency. Yeah, with that in mind, Dan, do you think, I mean,

are we kind of looking at like a lame duck year potentially for the Cowboys here? Like all their cornerstone best players are unhappy about their contracts. Jerry is seemingly like putting his foot in his mouth. Obviously, CD saw that and quote tweeted it and just said, you know, LOL. So he's not happy. Like, is there a chance that he's going to be requesting a trade here soon? Like when does this end? And obviously none of this stuff is good going into the season for the Cowboys.

Yeah, so this is as fumbled a situation as the Cowboys have had in really years, probably going back to that initial contract with Dak and that one depending on what side of the fence you stand on with Dak, whatnot. But think about it in this regard, okay? The Cowboys right now, in most people's opinion, are a little bit of a fringe playoff team just because they've lost some important pieces. Without CeeDee Lamb, there's no shot. Like, without CeeDee Lamb, we're talking, you know, you're competing for, like, a top

10 draft pick. Excuse me, because your offense won't be able to score. So, Dak Prescott wants a new contract he's he's not going to get it and it doesn't seem like he's going to get it this season CeeDee Lamb wants a new contract and it certainly doesn't feel like it right now to Jerry's words no urgency if CeeDee holds out for two games like let's live in the world I think Emmitt Smith held out for two games probably 15 years ago 20 years ago If he holds out for two games, when you're a French playoff team, that matters big time.

And so I don't think that, like, there's a trade request because if you look at the Cowboys' history, they keep those star receivers. Like, they kept Koop. They kept, after they traded for him, they kept Dez. They obviously prime, or playmaker, excuse me, Irvin. So, like, I don't think a trade request is a thing um but i think it's going to be very difficult very difficult for all four things in dallas to

go the way that they want one that they win meaningful playoff games i don't think that is going to happen to dac prescott to get paid michael parsons to get paid cd lamb get paid what they actually are worth and value. I don't see how all four of those things happen for Dallas, and it's just a massive, massive miss when you're going into a season with all of those unknowns at big pieces. It feels like they're just punting on here. Mike McCarthy's contract's up, Dak's up,

CeeDee's mad, Micah's mad. Jerry's like, I was at no boo last night. Whatever. You know, it is a very interesting time for the Dallas Cowboys right now. Is this a lame duck year? You win a Super Bowl, everybody's stay. Do you guys have their schedule?

Can you pop their schedule? I don't know. I wish I knew their schedule and their first six or eight games because the season is a month from today starting or something like that so 27 days 27 days 27 days 27 days and so i mean if cd comes back in two weeks or something like that he you know you you're always at risk for how good a football shape are you when are you ready to go play those 70 snaps? I just think it's such

a fascinating year when it comes to so many unknowns for 25. Yeah, we got that going on with the Dallas Cowboys. Obviously, the Iuke stuff going on where that is just seemingly running in a circle. Trent, has that been figured out? Nope. Trent hasn't been figured out. Judon.

There's a lot at a lot of places where I don't... I mean, I guess this is – Dude, that's why, like, if you're teams in the NFC – Yeah, go ahead. If you're teams in the NFC and you were those fringe teams, like, you're trying to jump this season and put pressure on the Cowboys who have unknowns, the 49ers who have the unknowns.

So, if you're a team like the Seattle Seahawks that were a little bit fringy, could they make the playoffs? You've got to come out the gates firing. If you're a team, I think Washington could surprise people this season if Jaden's as good as certainly I thought he was. Come out because you're trying to jump those teams. Who knows what's going to happen with Trenton IU? Do they miss a couple?

All that stuff. Well, let's stay in the NFC actually Connor has a question for you yeah Dan there's an ESPN article about the Sirianni Jalen Hurst relationship and how they really aren't seeing eye to eye too much and here is part of it and one of the quotes is quarterbacks need to feel coaches are superior or else they're ruining everything or running everything excuse me uh what do you make of this? Because I don't know if this was a big storyline, at least this far into camp until this week,

but clearly there is something going on in Philly between Hurts and Sirianni. Is this something that is kind of doom and gloom if you're an Eagles fan? Or do you think, hey, they come out, like you said, they start really hot, they'll be just fine? They better win. That's the only way that this gets covered up or cured or whatnot, is they better win. Dude, there was obviously disconnect last year.

There was a lot of moments when we'd sit there and talk about their offense. I didn't know Sirianni and Hurts had heat. I don't think anybody did. I didn't know that. I don't know if last year there was't know that. I don't know. I don't know if last year there was the known beef. There was definitely a disconnect. Remember they started hot. Then there was the

sideline stuff between him and AJ and they're really good friends. So is it two competitors or is there stuff going on that we don't know? The way that that team fell apart was Jalen didn't look like himself. And I don't know if we knew that there was this much disconnect,

at least to play on the field. That's wild they were able to keep that as tight as it was for as long as it was because I'm just now learning about this this week. Yeah, it was after that Bills overtime game. Actually, like when the Bills lost and the Eagles won, the Eagles went down and the Bills after that game kind of turned it on. Yeah. Wild.

Yeah. And I just, they're not similar. They're not the exact same things, you know, but like this is the last two pretty high end starting quarterbacks in Philly that have dealt with something like this. You know, like Carson has that MVP caliber season and all of a sudden like the rumors are coming out of a disconnect in the locker room and he's got too much power and they've given him too much control or whatnot. And then obviously things go south. And now with Jalen, he has that MVP caliber season, potentially MVP of the Super Bowl, and they lose this heartbreaker. And within a year or so, 18 months, there's rumors of like hey there's a

disconnect in both situations while they're not the same thing like there's unrest going on and like i've had people you know say like oh that's the philadelphia media i don't i don't know how they didn't bring any of this right that's right that's what i'm saying like hey philadelphia media normally right yeah in the middle, that's big market. That's big city. That's the sports town. For sure. So sports media, that's never learning.

I wonder how and when. Big Dom, keeping this whole thing together. Legit, is that the weapon that is Big Dom? But then Big Dom wasn't there, and it still didn't get it. That's when it all fell apart, and their relationship went to shit. Was he destroying laptops? Like, hey, are you writing about the Sirianni Hertz thing? Because if so, I'm taking your laptop now. I don't think you are.

But everything you hear about Jalen is just so good with that stuff. So it seems like if there was somebody that was capable of handling this and using it to grow and develop in those relationships, it certainly would be Jalen. But I think in that town, like in that city, and I'm not from there, but they better win. They better win. None of my five thoughts.

You can't be having that happen, especially a big Dom around. All right, Dan, we appreciate you joining us, buddy. Which games are you looking forward to this weekend? Let's pop that weekend preseason game slate up. We actually have – Caleb's going to play, right? I want to see Caleb a little bit. And just like, you know, touching on that real quick with the Caleb.

We hit on it a little bit with that CJ stuff from last year. Just remember, like CJ, I remember last year against the Patriots, obviously had the interception. I remember a clip where he went right, left, right, left, and like everyone was like, oh, my gosh, this dude stinks. So it's going to be the first time Caleb's hit in the field. So let's see. I think, Caleb, what else is there this weekend?

So the S's there, those are the starters are playing for at least a series. They're at least starting the game. So you've got Colts, Broncos, starters playing. That should be at least listed starters on the depth chart. Obviously, we know the Bo Nagle is second. Kansas City, Jacksonville, playing. That should be at least listed starters on the depth chart. Obviously, we know that Bo Niggins is second. Kansas City, Jacksonville. Trevor and Pat should be at least one series. Travis, Xavier Worthy.

Oh, my God. Here we go. That should be a good time. Bears, Bills. Here we go. Josh Allen. Without Stephon Diggs that they've been trying to make a thing out of. Raiders, Vikings have starters.

Then, obviously, scattered throughout throughout there's other games. What are you looking forward to quickly, Dan? Yeah, so I want to see Caleb. I go back to Patrick's, I think, first start ever in the preseason. Remember, Holmes had like that 70-yard bomb down the field, and we were like, oh, that's not normal. Does Caleb have a play like that? I'd love to see.

Certainly Indy, how's Anthony look? And then how does A.D. Mitchell look? Both Knicks and Denver, I want to see just how much operation he's given. You know, does either quarterback in Minnesota do anything to potentially separate itself or take hold of it? I think Sam's that guy right now. So a lot of the quarterback play I'll be super interested in. I'd love to see Jaden as well. Jaden and the Jets. Jaden Daniels. I want to see how he looks, obviously, versus a pretty significant defense. Alright. I can't wait for the weekend,

Slate. I can't wait to hear your thoughts all season. All the time. Ladies and gentlemen, live from his vacation in Michael Lombardi's town. Game Stop Searcher. Dan Orlovsky. I got one.

Yeah. Zito with one of the greatest replies in the history of X2. All the time. Dan Orlovsky. Dan Orlovsky's looking for, I need a Switch gaming console power box. Yep. Plug in. In Seattle, New Jersey.

Anybody got me? It's like he thought somebody was just going to waltz over. Yep. Oh, hold on. Borrow it for a day. Let me go to my cardboard box in the basement for whenever people played that particular console so zito sent him the game stop uh address smart he did not go to the game stop he's somebody did walk over yeah that's nuts it's a good town over there new jersey's good well whenever you drive into the

state from like uh pennsylvania or new jersey yeah smell it smells a little bit oh yeah you can smell the jersey yeah newark and uh secaucus smells like shit but once you get past that you know Pennsylvania or New Jersey? Smells a little bit. You can smell the Jersey. Newark and Secaucus smells like shit. But once you get past that, and in there, especially on the shore there, it is beautiful times, beautiful town. I mean, legitimately. Not all of them, of course. That's everywhere.

But you get to those beach towns. They're really nice. And then you got all the bennies flocking to the sand in the summer. That's people from upstate New York, east New York. That's the Jersey Shore stuff. Bridge and tunnel crowd. Yeah, that is bingo. Undesirables, you're saying? WVU, it felt

like 85% New Jersey people whenever I was at school there. They got in-state pricing, I think, for a while. Interesting. The variety of type of person from Jersey is very fun as well. Yeah. Yeah. Because you got the beach and you got the- Yeah.

You got much different humans from the same state. It is sweet. Okay. Yeah. A lot of different Italians, but a lot of Italians. A lot of Italians. And then the Irish Catholics, of course. Exactly.

The Irish are North Jersey, right? Isn't that kind of the play? Yeah. Yeah. The North Jersey. It's a matter- North and Central kind of blend together but a lot of central hey jersey you're a great state good state great state i mean good state we

appreciate it it's a state it certainly is it is a state it certainly is there's a lot of people that said like let's just go ahead and let that one go i don't think that's yeah i agree new york annexed the top and then philly got the bottom, and it was just Pennsylvania and New York. No, Georgia's a good state. Georgia's a good state. They're a proud people. PR. You could just eat it.

Yeah. Okay. Anyways, we are wrapping up here on ESPN on this Feel Good Friday. Austin Rivers will be joining us on YouTube and ESPN+, as we forward forward on this Feel Good Friday on TikTok Live. But here on ESPN, starting in about five minutes, is a massive game in the Little League World Series. Ty Schmidt, what do we have on deck, pal?

Yeah, we got Staten Island Little League versus Morristown, New Jersey. Jersey, let's go, boys. And this Morristown, New Jersey team is currently 15-0 in the regional. They've just been running through everyone. They played Staten Island on Monday, beat them 11-1, 10-rundum. So this is a, you know, they're coming together again in the championship for a spot in Williamsport. This will only be the second team from Morristown, New Jersey,

to make it to the Little League World Series. So big deal. And then the Staten Island team, they're kind of known for the same Little League, Danny Almonte's team, if you remember from all the time. What was that? Danny Almonte came into the Little League World Series. He is from the Bronx. He's 14. He was 18.

Basically, this kid was 18 years old, pretty much. He was throwing like 85 miles an hour, striking out every kid, throwing perfect games. And then afterwards, they were like, well, yeah, he should be much better. He's pitching from 45 feet and he's 10 years older than all these other kids. So a little bit of a – I always wonder who's putting him in that spot

because he would have been good at his age as well, right? He actually – well, yeah, he ended up getting drafted by the Yankees. So he was a very good baseball player. Yeah, so it wasn't him saying put me in with these 12-year-olds. Yeah, 11 and 12. I think a lot of it is in those areas like that. I don't think he spoke English. He was from the Dominican Republic pretty much, grew up in the Bronx,

and it's like you get some coach who's like, Happens in sports. Let's get him out there. Let's go win a Little League World Series. Happens in sport is never fair to the actual athlete. But the things that get said about these kids. Oh, yeah. He's loud. I remember the Danny hype.

Yeah. Whenever it was taking place. And then the immediate fallout. Yeah. Anybody can do that as an adult. This kid's 18. Kid's buying cigarettes. They go and pitch in a little legal shirt.

Towing on the ground. That'd be so fun. Smoking cigs in a little legal shirt. Yeah, me being that old. Just like, I'm going to strike all these kids out. He had no idea either. Have an incredible weekend. We can't thank you enough for allowing us to do this for a living.

Next week, I believe, Bill Belichick kicks off on Monday. Oh, let's go. Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice. It might change their life. We're in this thing together. See you Monday. Goodbye.

Nailed it, I think. Nice. Zito's been on the ones and twos back here. Baby Z. Way to go, Zito. Baby Z. I mean, you are so blurry. This is unbelievable.

How are you the only person? Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now is an 11-year NBA vet, friend of the program, and somehow has the best tech and worst tech all the time. Austin Rivers. Yeah, Austin! Austin, it looks like you're in a sauna right now. You look completely blurry, pal.

You look so blurry. You got to change the F style. All right, all right. Hold on, hold on. Here you go. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't move. It looks better. Hit that bottom legitimately you look so you look like Bigfoot you look so blurry you gotta change It looks better Perfect yeah, I got don't move look at the shoes in the back. Holy shit. Oh, that's good closet 11 years in the league people forget. Oh. 11 years in the league. People forget. Oh, yeah. Now we lost service. Now we can't see.

Disconnect your Wi-Fi. Now we can't see. Oh, my God. Too worried about their shoes. Got good setup. Yeah, that's awesome. See the LED lights? The universe is so messed up. The universe?

Is he saying the universe? Universe. Oh, shit. Yes. Fuck it. I'm out of here. No thanks. It does. It's too good of a you know it's trying to focus but since he's got the necklace of course in the great tats on a hand

art the eye in the art buying the shoes the iphone's like oh they need to see him it's all so cool he's too cool almost yeah for automatic focus. Everyone's just chasing Sal Capaccio. I mean, they always will be. Jelly Roll. Jelly Roll as well. Jelly Roll was live at an airport with a full studio. Why? Is that a headshot or is he?

Ladies and gentlemen, Austin Rivers. We're back. We're back, man. We got it. Wow. Sorry. You're the best. Do not apologize to us. We're back, man. We got it. Wow. Sorry. You're the best. Do not apologize to us. We should apologize to you.

Seemingly, something always happens. But that's why we love them. Austin, speaking of things that we love, boy, that game yesterday, we don't know how the entire basketball community was watching along, but in here, we were literally standing edge of seat, and it was a battle in that fourth quarter. I mean, Serbia continued to answer. Obviously, it was the Steph Curry show throughout the first quarter

as he puts up 17, and we end up being down by like 10 somehow still. Serbia, Bogdan Bogdanovic was cooking. Joker's doing his thing. I think Sam Samsovic was obviously getting a... Tyler Tylerovich was fucking absolutely going crazy. And these itches were battling and there was conversation in our Thunderdome

by people who are very dramatic, saying this would be the worst loss in the history of basketball for the United States of America. Carmelo Anthony's on the sideline. Bogdan Bogdanovich does the tray gun right in his face. Seemingly wakes the boys up. They go bananas in the second half, more specifically the fourth quarter. Joel Embiid cooks on both sides of the court.

Kevin Durant does the same exact thing. LeBron James did the same. I mean, it was a full team effort, full buy-in. Triple-double from Braun, 36 points for Steph. KD had a massive day. Joel had a massive day. I mean, it was a thing of beauty. What were your thoughts while you were watching the game,

and how should we look back at this particular game? That was one of the best ball games I've seen in a very, very long time. You know, when we talk about just the competitive atmosphere, getting the best players in the world getting pushed to the brink, you know, that's something where, you know where you get to see LeBron in a light that you don't get to see unless you're like Game 7 playoffs. It is just different when your country's on the line, especially with everything that's been said.

Noel Isles, championship of what? We have to win. You know what I mean? This is the standard. We win, got the Avengers. We got the super team. Steph Curry, who's actually had kind of like a rough Olympics so far if we're talking about consistency,

pulls up yesterday and just absolutely just destroys, man. I mean, just has an absolute huge game. Huge game. 30-something points. Joel Embiid. I mean, you're talking about head-to-head going at it with Nicola.

That had everything that you could possibly want. I don't think I've ever screamed so hard for another basketball game that I wasn't even involved in. So it was just special, man. Okay, so we all felt the same exact way. We were doing the same. And then, obviously, the video is from post in the family room where Kevin Durant's sitting with his mom talking about how awesome it is,

how the room is. Steph Curry talking about how tight he is with the team and how they're all kind of bummed out that it's ending. Like, did we expect this to happen? I think at the beginning we were talking about they all need to put their egos aside and buy in. Jason Tatum doesn't even play in that game. Even whenever we're down 15, there's not even a thought

we're going to put him on the court. He's champion, obviously, three straight time, first team all NBA. He comes out afterwards. As long as we're winning, I don't care. Nobody cares. Like, how do we get to this point? When do we get to this point when do we get to this point and is this how this always goes yeah i was really impressed with tatum you know he could easily have something to say you know this is a guy who's coming off of winning an nba championship signing the largest contract

in nba history and here he is at the end of the bench not getting any minutes um you know meanwhile his teammate derrick white who essentially is a role player in the NBA, even got in the game. You know what I mean? I thought it showed a lot of professionalism by him, Halliburton. They were cheering the whole time. Even after the game, Tatum's quote where he said, just one more, we got one more win.

He's all in. They're trying to win this gold medal. And listen, we all know what this team was going to be about. The three best players that we came into this being most excited about have been the three guys. Durant, Curry, and LeBron James have not disappointed us. And yesterday was something that man

like, seeing LeBron James, especially that layup. Do you remember when he got that rebound on transition and did the little scoop layup from like a step inside the free throw line? Steph Curry hitting the big three and then KD with the iso. Good God, was that guy probably petrified getting KD on ISO like that. Just getting them on a little left to right cross, mid-range jumper. I mean, we got everything. And I would be lying if I didn't

tell you I was nervous because Nikola is such a game controller. You know, he knows how to control a game. And when you're down like five or six, you know, with a minute or two left, you know, it wasn't looking pretty for you know for a little bit there but just the resilience by our team to come back in that type of game and thank god i don't know who that guy is but he missed that three the lefty yes he had that three if he makes that three man i don't know if we win that game uh and he missed it and let the door open and obviously steph come back to hit a three. I mean, what a game. This France final is going to be epic.

I can't wait. Yeah, Lefty Vich with the brick there was huge. Huge for us. I mean, that was a giant game. We get the board and then Bron runs. I mean, it is, all those things had to come together for us. And I assume in the huddle, Steve Kerr, in coaches were saying like,

hey, now is when we need to go. Kevin Durant said that they were trying to get it to six or single digits with seven minutes left or six minutes left. Like, our only goal was to get it to single digits with six minutes left, I think is what he said. It's like, okay, so when that becomes the mission, they're not worried about Serbia making so many shots, which they were. And to your point about Joker, who's a game, he was all in invested.

Oh, yeah. Bogdan was invested. It was like, I think that was the coolest part of seeing how bought in the Team USA was to each other. There's a picture of Steph putting up a three. And I think KD is in the side. Anthony Edwards is like this. Tyrese Halliburton knows his role. He's in the back.

Bam. And they're all just like going crazy. And it's like, it's really cool to see how tight they've got. Speaking of Steph, Connor has a question for you. Yeah, Austin, as far as Olympic performances go, obviously Steph, like he broke the record for most threes in the game, and I think it was the second most points ever by a USA Olympic basketball player. But how important is this for not only him but just USA basketball as a whole?

And is this kind of set his Olympic, not debut, but his Olympics as a whole? Like, hey, I've done this. You know, D. Wade mentioned in the quarterfinal, like at some point, Steph Curry's going to have his moment. Clearly it was yesterday. How great was that for you to watch as a player? And just how awesome is it for USA basketball? I think it was huge for Steph, first and foremost.

You know, like I said, you know, his Olympic game so far, he's been solid. But last night was like vintage Steph. And I think to have this in his first Olympics and his only Olympics, he alluded to that after the game. He's like, man, listen, I'm not coming back. Four years from now, I'm not going to be on the Olympic team. This is it. And I think with everything that's been going on in recent years in the NBA,

we've seen all the MVPs be foreign players. You know, Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid, even though he's playing for our team, Giannis, you know, these are guys who have dominated the NBA. And, you know, you talk about Luka, Shea Alexander, the emergence of foreign basketball can't be denied. So I think just us stamping us still as the greatest, you know, country in the world that produces as the greatest country in the world that produces the best basketball players in the world was very important.

And then obviously, listen, I alluded to it earlier. Noel Isles' comments does have truth to it. World champion of what? You've got to go win. You know what I mean? You've got to go win that gold medal. And especially with the team that we have, with the Hall of Famers that we have, we have three of the greatest basketball players to ever play on this team,

Steph, KD, and LeBron. Even at their age, they still are amazing. I thought it was just huge for Steph to have that type of performance in his only Olympics. And I thought it would be great for his confidence going into this final gold medal game. And then as far as, you know, just for our nation, yeah, man. I mean, I think we were all on the edge of our seat.

You know, I haven't cheered so hard during the Olympics other than yesterday. I mean, I was screaming at the TV when the other team was getting offensive rebounds because it means so much to us. We know we have to win. We need to win this. So, yeah, it's been crazy. Saturday is going to be nuts, man. I'm going to have a couple drinks, get ready to go,

and we're going to take on that guy, Victor. Yeah, Wemby and Rudy Gobert, and obviously the French fans are going to be loud. Gobert hasn't been playing. They haven't been playing Gobert. He played three minutes last game. How about that? How about this? I have not watched the French men's basketball team at all.

So what is this? Should we be – it's a Wemby show? It's the Wemby show? Yeah, it's Victor, and then they have this other guy who's – I don't know his name. He kind of looks like Klay Thompson, but he's supposed to be a great jump shooter. Then they have Evan Fortier. They got some pros on the team. You know what I mean?

Come on. Come on. He's fiery. Did you see Bogdanovich yesterday? Yeah, we saw him. Have you seen Australian Patty Mills? When you put these guys in their own country, when you put them on their own team and you unlock them and give them a

green light, they're dangerous men. We're talking about the best player in the world. Almost made it to third place. We get it. We understand that the world is catching up. They're catching up, but they ain't caught up. We still run this. I don't know if anybody's looked at the gold

medal count. It's getting nasty. Don't bring that up. Hold on. Total medal count, you mean? Total medal. I'm talking about total. Total. Total.

China actually has a two gold medal lead over us right now. Yeah. But there's a bunch of track events coming up. But look at that. 103 to 76 is nutty work. That's the number. Yes. That's the number we need to be promoting.

That is the number we'd be promoting. But in like four days from now, we will have the gold as well. Correct. Because our track dominance and also our breakdancing dominance and wrestling. Spencer Lee's about to pick up another one for us. I got breakdancing? Breaking.

Breaking. It's not breaking. It's not just the Jabbawockeez. We are also very confused. We thought it would just be the Jabberwockies on Team USA, but then we quickly realized we have no idea who the Jabberwockies are. This could be a member of the Jabberwockies right here. This could be a member. We have no clue. I'm tempted

to get into the three-on-three. What the hell is that? There we go. This is Jake Paul said he's going to try to get back to the Olympics for boxing. Jake for the LA Olympics. Austin Rivers getting into the three-on-three Olympics. Yeah, I'm going to go grab a couple guys

and let's see if we can run this three-on-three. Have you heard that FIBA makes it very difficult for NBA guys to be able to make the three-on-three because you have to participate in like five events leading up to the Olympic Games. I think you have to have some points. You have to be a part of something. So you're going to have to really commit to this, Austin,

if you're going to want to win this. Yeah, they make it that way so we don't have any of our players in it. But if we have guys who have more time on their hands or guys who aren't currently playing or guys who are fresh out the league, these are guys who are still a year or two removed. They still got everything in terms of just the coordination, the feel, the touch. These are pros still. If I wouldn't grab two other guys with me,

we're winning that gold medal. There's no doubt about it. I'm winning the gold medal. If I'm on that 3-3 team with a couple of my friends, we're winning the gold medal. You and Caden maybe. You and Caden. Go get it. Who? It's on your necklace. You tell me, Caden. It's my son, Pat.

Okay. So can he play or what? Yeah, I'm assuming he's a hooper. His grandpa's Doc fucking Rivers. Yeah. Okay? His dad, Austin Rivers. I assume Caden.

He's up next. He's up next. Four years. That's my retirement plan, Pat. Smart. Smart. That's my retirement plan. How old is he in four years whenever the Olympics are in L.A.?

He'll be nine. Suit him up. That's what I'm saying. That's what we're saying. That's what we need. That's what we need out there. Austin and Caden, dad's son. He's going to love this, by the way.

He's going to love that we're talking about him on TV. So thank you for bringing that up. Well, I mean, I didn't really bring it up. You're chested. You know what I mean? Like, it's right there. It is. Listen, I'm always repping.

Family first. You know how it is. Amen. Amen. That's a big, that's a cool looking chain. It is sweet. When Caden saw that, he thought it was sweet, I assume. He was very, very positive.

He loves it. He loves it. I got it as an anniversary gift, but yeah, he loves it. So, I wear chains most of the time. I see you. They move, though. That one doesn't move, I guess, because it gets locked in? Yeah, it

stays there. Okay, because I was thinking about that thing around the... Yeah, get the Y. I usually see you with the gold Prezzy on. What do you got on today? Oh, this is a new one. Wife got it for me. It is a... It has a name. This one has a name.

It doesn't go TikTok, though. You need to know that, obviously. I can't see it from here. It's all good, though. It looks nice. I just gave enough of a tip for you to know what it is. If you don't, that's on you, not on me. Let's go to Hammer.

Tone Diggs has a question for you, Austin. Yeah, I had a question, Austin. I saw Jason Tatum's mom is demanding answers on why he's not getting playing time. And since we just talked about Grandpa Doc, has there ever been an NBA player's parents that has come to the coach and been like, hey, why is my guy not playing? And what do you think about Tatum? And what do you think about Tatum not playing?

It is a little bit bewildering just because Tatum's such a good player that it's kind of odd that a guy like that's not getting on the floor. Do you know what I mean? Somewhere, like you can't squeeze him in maybe like seven, eight minutes a half. I mean, we're talking about Jason Tatum here. You know what I mean? Especially if you're using Derek White and other guys

that he's obviously better than. But he's a better player than Derek White, guys. But the difference is Derek White only does what he does as a role than. Is he? But he's a better player than Derek White, guys. Really? But the difference is Derek White only does what he does as a role player. So he fits playing alongside a LeBron James, an Anthony Davis, a Joel Embiid, a Kevin Durant, a Steph Curry, because that's his job in the NBA. Whereas Tatum is used to having the ball, used to having space, his time.

When he's out there, that's not going to be his role. He's not going to be the best scorer on the court at all. It's always going to be a Kevin Durant, a Steph or LeBron, especially now that we not going to be his role he's not going to be the best scorer on the court at all it's always going to be a kevin durant a stepher lebron especially now that we're going into the gold medal games one of those three or two of those three will always be on the floor so now it's a matter of can tatum move without the balls tatum used to being a catch and shoot player is he a great defender these are all things that derrick white is so that's why you see some of these guys kind of get the time more than him even though jason tatum is a superstar so it is strange but i you know in terms of her demanding answers she ain't gonna get none nor does anybody owe her any answers her son's gonna win a gold medal um you know that should be a

great enough blessing he also just got 300 million and just won an nba ring just settle down here let's settle down here yeah she wants to see she wants to see her boy play for the united states america which i know which hopefully she will for the United States of America, which hopefully she will for the next three Olympics. He's going to be on the other one. I guarantee the next Olympics he's going to play 20-something minutes a game because he's handling this the right way. We're kind of learning about this as we

go here. It all started with Kaitlyn Clark being left off, and then we learn about how... Big mistake. We agree, but not talking about it. Not even going to think about it. Not even going to think about it. Not even going to think about talking about it. Nope. Okay.

The universe has told me that multiple times. Shut up. Shut up. Let that one go? Big go. Yeah, the universe has let me, and it's been very kind of the universe and God to tell me that, and I would adhere to said blessings, but then we started learning about how the Olympic team works and Team USA works, and, like, on the men's side,

they are very much preparing for the next one. Like, hey, here's how this goes. And it's been happening since the beginning of time. Got the young group that has to watch the older group. And it goes back to the best game that never was seen. It's Magic and Jordan. Jordan's like the younger crew. Magic was the older crew.

And it's kind of like a torch passing type situation that almost takes place at these Team USA. So, like, Hallibururton i think he knew going in that day this is how this is going to go i'm here to learn about what this is like and then next olympics okay now we roll there'll be another group that's down there the fact that it's tatum though is wild that that is it's a little different because tatum's not like some like rookie or second three-year guy just becoming a new all-star this is a guy who's been a multi-time All-Star, multi-first-time or first-team All-NBA, just won a ring. Booker and Ant are clearly getting more minutes than him. You know what I mean?

And that's the question. I think that's why his mom is a little frustrated because it's like, yo, why is my son not in the game? And that's why this has been such a big issue. My thing is kind of like you say about Kalen Clark. Now is not the time to talk about this. Why don't we get the gold medal first, and then we can come back and we can dissect it. If we lose, we can talk about should have played Tatum, this, this, and that. But let's just get the gold medal, and then we can dissect why or where he could have played more.

Now is not the time to be picking apart things and trying to create a narrative. We don't need that. Not right now. Steve Kerr. Not right now. Steve Kerr just being like, this is the last time I'm doing this. Good.

He's done. He's done. He's not coming back. We're winning. We're winning. That was a massive comeback. I'm sure we said nothing. I'm sure we said nothing or did nothing,

which leads me to this, actually. Ty has a question. Yeah, Austin. So in terms of the strategy against France, are we expecting quite a few lineup changes? I mean, if Wemby's their only guy, are we just going to send our waves of, bam,

Joe, add B, because he is American now. He earned his stripes. He can still earn his stars on Saturday. But are we just going to send a bunch of big men out there and beat the shit out of Wemby and then expect him to kind of crumble? And then in terms of momentum, do you think that because we went through what we did yesterday that we'll come out hot?

Or when you play in that kind of physically and emotionally draining of a game, will that have any impact on how the game starts on Saturday? Yeah, I think they're definitely going to try to be physical with him. I would expect early on to be going through Joel Embiid a lot. I mean, when you watch the matchup earlier this year, Joel Embiid had 70 points on my guy. And that's just due to just the physical advantage that he has. Victor's a lot of things, but obviously him being young, he's still a little bit of light in them pants. You know what I'm saying?

So I would imagine you're going to have... Is that what you're saying? Light in the pants. What the hell? We've heard what you said, yeah. I think that's the issue is we listen, maybe. What's that about? You know what I mean? I think that is the oldest... Light in the pants. Light in the pants is the oldest expression

in the book. Who said that? I've never heard that expression in my life. You said it. Just saying, you said it. You did, brother. You're the one. No, I said light in the pants. You said that? I've never heard that expression in my life. Just saying, you said it. You did, brother. No, I said lighten the pants. You said what you said. Yeah, I guess he's got a tiny dick. That's what Ty thought. That's what Ty's brain thought from what you said. So it's actually kind of

your, you said it. You put that into his brain. Because we know Embiid's got an absolute piece. Whoa. What the hell is... That's what you said. You said it. Those are your words.

These are things that you said. It's just math, by the way. It's just math, Austin. No, because he said we're going to fall. Yeah, exactly. Anyways, let's get, please, back to the basketball analytics. Will you stop doing... Yeah, I'm going to try to ignore him saying absolute piece.

So I would imagine... Once again, you were the one that said it. I never said that. You put it in his brain. He did. You put it in his brain. He did. That's media, brother.

It's not what you said. It's how people take it. Remember, that's the world we live in. Your inferences, man. Jeez Louise. Good God, man. Just dick talk here on Feel Good Friday. Hope you're happy, Austin.

Basketball. A limb dicks, huh Good Friday. Hope you're happy, Austin. Basketball. A limb dicks, huh? Okay. We're talking limb dicks. You don't want me to answer this? Am I supposed to get back to this? How do we even get back to this? We're going to be physical with him, man.

I don't know. Real physical. Real physical. All right. Thank you, Austin. We really appreciate the breakdown. We needed that. You look good, man.

You look good. You lost weight. Is it all that WWE or is it a little bit of Ozempic? Whoa. I don't do the semi-glute tight just yet, but I will get into it at some point. I'm on other science. I'm on other science. Okay.

Okay. Certainly science. Not Ozempic, though. We do have a potential Ozempic person in the building. He looks amazing. It works. It works. Look at you raise your hand. He's high school

Tony. Pure Ozympic cowboy. Look at this guy. Life changing. There's a difference. Life changing. He had to get a whole new... He went straight back to high school tone. Wardrobe change.

Whole thing. He's living his best life. I like the salmon color on him. He's doing solid. You look good, man. All of you guys are doing well. By the way, I'm building a studio soon, so Wi-Fi will not be an issue. I got a little studio I'm building in the back of my house. Premium Wi-Fi, Patty.

Premium. We're going to have no more issues. You're going to become a musician? What's the studio for? My media stuff, Pat, if you must know. Jesus Christ. Make sure the camera works. Well, that's the whole point of me saying it. Okay.

Me building a studio. We're committing to this. We got a chance this time. You're good. You're all good. We got a studio. We're committing to this. We got a chance this time. You're good. Got a chance? Where are you? You're in California? You're in California? No, I'm in Florida. You don't have to explain.

South Florida? Yes. Hot as hell all the time? Like right now, is it just unfair? Right now, it's miserable. It's miserable. It's miserable down here. You stay hell all the time? Like right now, is it just unfair? Right now, it's miserable. It's miserable. It's miserable down here. You stay there a year out.

Well, the plan is in the future, I want to spend my winters here and my summers up north. But right now, yeah, it's like 365 in Florida. As a person who has thought about, you know, because I grew up in Pittsburgh, went to school in West Virginia, now I live in Indiana. It gets cold, windy, miserable in all those places for an extended period of time. So I've always been like, I want to do Florida. I want to move to warm weather. Arizona. It's the best in the winter.

It's the best in the winter. But the misery that we talk about during the no sun time here in the Midwest is what they talk about. Summer is just unbearable. It's brutal. Miami is not as bad because you have the breeze with the water. If you get down to Orlando-ish, where I spend a lot of time as well,

which is Tampa, dope cities, but it gets really, really hot down there, man. It can get just very humid. You can't even go outside, right? You can't even go outside, right? As soon as you walk outside, you just start sweating. I mean, you leak right away, immediately then like arizona is awesome dry that's probably where i want that's

dry air yeah but it gets like 120. oh yeah the dryer is still hot as yeah yeah you can't go to the pool sometimes because the tiles are so damn hot outside the pool but you don't think about that ever because we're like man it's it's cold and this sucks. It's like the opposite is also. You see, the opposite is also not fantastic. Are you in Indianapolis most of the year? Yeah, all year. All year, full time. Jesus.

Yeah. You know, my brother went to IU, man, so I know a little bit about. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So it's an interesting city. Bloomington is certainly an interesting place. A lot of good. A lot of good down there.

I went to some restaurant, this farm-to-table restaurant. It's like 45 minutes outside of Indianapolis. I will say this. It was unbelievable. Farm-to-table, baby. That's what you get. Yeah, that's what we do here. This is the Midwest.

They slaughtered the poor chicken an hour before I ate it. The poor chicken. That chicken lived a good life. He did. That chicken actually died of old age. What you're talking about, slaughtered. You're the one before I ate it. That chicken lived a good life. He did. That chicken actually died of old age. What you're talking about, slaughtered. You're the one that slaughtered it. They died of old age right there.

You're the one over here talking about other guys' packages and whatever else. That was you, brother. That's that Florida heat hitting the brain. No, I would never. Ever. All right, so we're winning. Joe Embiid, absolute peace, end quote.

That was not said by Austin. You just said it. That was you. Quote, unquote, Austin Rivers. Right there. Boom, yeah. That's what you tried to say at the beginning, and then you said it again. This is, every time you come on here, you just do.

Hopefully no one clips that. Yeah, I don't think anybody will. You love it, though. I don't think anybody will. You love it. I enjoy Austin Rivers on this particular program. How do you do other places? Are you this Austin? What do you do on the other shows? No, I

get this just for you guys. This loose talk, I'm very corporate. Come on, why? Come on, why? Don't be a suit. I don't know if I could be a coach or a GM one day talking about players' packages. You did it all day today. You did it all day today. Ten times. I'm't know if I could be a coach or a GM one day talking about players' packages. You did it all day today. You did it all day today.

Ten times. I'm shipping sales now. Gone, brother. That studio better be good. You're going to be in it for a long time. Long, long time. All right, so we're winning the gold. We're beating France. The women are going to win the gold, right? Yeah, they just won the semi. They beat the fuck out of Australia.

Okay, congrats to us. That's awesome. Way to go, women. And then you're going to play in a three-on-three with your son, Caden, in L.A. We're going to win all basketball. Sounds like a plan, man. All right. Have a great offseason. You're not working until basketball?

What are you doing? No, just doing media stuff. I just got my podcast. Hey, you guys need to call me on more. I'd love to get on. What's your podcast? What's your podcast? The Off Guard. I'm on the Off Guard. I you guys need to call me on more. I'd love to get on. What's your podcast? What's your podcast? The Off Guard.

I'm on the Off Guard. I'm with the ringer, Bill Simmons. Oh, nice. Bill has said a lot of great things about me, so I can't wait to really promote that. That should be awesome. But obviously, Trailblazer in the sports media game. Obviously, Off Guard is a great podcast, we assume. Cannot wait to listen to it.

We will support the hell out of you because you show up for us literally anytime we ask. We appreciate you. You're the man. All day. All day. All day. I got you. Ladies and gentlemen, 11-year NBA event. That's an interesting way of describing things happening on basketball court. Talking too much wood, maybe. Ladies and gentlemen,

Austin Rivers. Yeah! Austin! the rivers i mean light in the spanx what else what else are you supposed to think i think he said pants he didn't say light pants same thing tights light in the tights we thought whatever the case every time he comes on it's awesome awesome. He's great. Legitimately. He's one of my favorite people that comes on the show. He's the best, for sure. Just every single time. You have no idea. And why is his focus thing

why is it the worst out of anybody in America? I don't know. Legitimately. When I was on the back of that bus, I feel like I was more focused for a longer period of time than whenever he... Because he'll be 15 seconds, whoa, 8K. And then, boom. Bigfoot. Yeah.

Is it the necklace? The K'd in. Yeah, the K'd in. Each individual letter. Because that was like crystal clear. That looked very cool. That was sweet. And it's like off-center. It's three letters, but instead of having it split, there's like four on the left, two on the right. I do wonder if that's a...

If that's just an adjustment thing? Yeah, sometimes I somebody feeling cool. Yeah. He will for sure. Like flipping a hat up. Ladies and gentlemen, we have breaking news out of the NFL. The New England Patriots have released... Juju Smith-Schuster.

Boom! Boom! Yeah! I mean, not yeah. Whoa, geez. But not yeah. That's Boston Connor, New England Patriot. Yeah, because I guess you're right. Okay. Did not know that was happening. Whoa, geez. Not yet. That's Boston Connor, New England Patriots fan? Yeah, because I guess you're right.

Okay. Did not know that was happening. Obviously, that news just broke. So, Connor was just guessing on who was potentially being released. Juju Smith-Schuster and the New England Patriots certainly have not really worked well. Obviously, New England Patriots on the offensive side have been a question mark for the last few years. Most definitely last year going into this year. Juju won a Super Bowl with Kansas City Chiefs.

Never forget that. With the Pittsburgh Steelers, it was incredibly productive. Where will he find a home next? Will he continue to play? We shall keep an ear to the ground on the Juju Smith-Schuster. Whenever he was number two wide receiver with the Pittsburgh Steelers, fantastic. Whenever he was in relief for the Kansas City Chiefs, fantastic.

There is certainly going to be a team that would love to have a Juju Smith-Schuster on them if he wants to. I guess that is kind of the entire conversation. But the Juju New England era has ended. Yeah, it didn't really make sense to keep him just because of the rookies we drafted. And I personally was surprised when the first unit went out there and even when Drake went out there and Jalen Polk wasn't playing the second-round pick we got from Washington this year, who's a rookie who's been unbelievable all training camp so this just makes sense as far as hey if we're investing in our rookie wide receivers especially with the whole IUK situation and

that being a reason like hey we don't have to think about IUK we can just go all in on our rookies like this was kind of inevitable and they also did split into two groups during training camp last week with some receivers and quarterbacks on one side of the field being Jacoby Brissett, Drake May, Kendrick Bourne, K.J. Osborne, Jalen Polk, Javon Baker, the rookie wide receivers, and then the other group being Bailey Zappi, Joe Milton. Juju Schuster was with that group, not the ones and twos. Writing was on a wall.

Yeah, this felt inevitable. Also, saves on a lot of cap. He was like our fourth or fifth highest player. So this was seemingly inevitable. I assume Juju knew that as well. Hopefully, fresh start for Juju. Good luck out there, Juju. Go back to KC.

Guess we don't have to trade for IUK anymore. Yeah. Juju's going back to Pittsburgh. There you go. Not. No. We're in the B's home. Juju Pitt Schuster.

That's what they're saying. Yep. Nobody said that. Yep. Torrey played his best, but that is true. Won a Super Bowl, though, with Kansas City Chiefs. They'll take another weapon if they could. All right.

As we wrap up on this glorious day, because we've got to go celebrate Foxy. That's right. Oh, yeah. Happy for you, Foxy. Baby Foxy. Zito, you're doing a great job back there, pal. You're doing a great job back there, Zito. Zito's running the ones and twos.

Got Gumpy running Zito's position, which is obviously active, you know, with the hands. And chatting. Good work for a shit painter, pal. Turn on the mic. Thank you, brother. There it is. You did great, Gump. Thank you, boys.

Everybody in back, good work. Let's head one more time to Hammer. Time. Tone, I need inside scoops on all the preseason games that are potentially happening this weekend, and I need one last Olympic update before we head into the greatest weekend of all time and celebrate shit out of Evan Fox.

I got to start with the Olympic update because there is a human being that is just absolutely taking over the Internet today. We've been blessed. Our timelines have been blessed. B-Girl Ray Gunn, she's from Australia. She's a 36-year-old breakdancer. Just do yourself a favor and search B-Girl Ray Gunn in Twitter,

or just Ray Gunn, or just Australian breakdancer. There she is. Oh, hell yeah. I think today might have been the first time that she breakdanced. No. No. No yeah. I think today might have been the first time that she breakdanced. No. No. No way. This is Olympics.

No way. I know. I know. There's got to be some B-boys in Australia that you're telling me, did she even do the? Yeah. She did. You have to start with that. She started with the kangaroo hop

Which I did think was Australia Musicality Great vocabulary Boing Boing Was the song Boing

And then the internet Said she busted out a lot of moves That no one's ever seen before Wow Vocabulary Vocabulary She's like Simone Biles Doing her own thing

Oh so This is a For the gays Australia said We don't have break dancing They're like every single nightclub in australia has to have somebody in there break dancing even better we got b girl send her out there send b girl out there should we find a video of this big oregon

on the other there's been a few i have not seen the video no but if we could see some of this from the way you're describing it i cannot wait because we've all been kind of intrigued by this breaking being an olympic sport yeah because we believe this potentially sets precedent for other artistic forms uh uh to be added rapping rap battle absolutely if break dancing is a lot as a sport at the olympics which once again a lot of hard work technicalities we get it but if that's getting added in there why not rap battles why not why not a singing contest yeah oh i I like that. You know what I mean? If we're going to get into it. Cello. Guitar. People are going to say

the Olympic Games are for sports and stuff like that. Well, depends on how you treat it. Who are you to define sports? Yeah, because B-Girl Ray Gunn, she said, I'm doing the sports. Whenever she said, I'm going to go breakdancing this thing. I think we found a video on the internet. This is our first time. What is it?

Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. No. That's it. What do you mean? Roll to the folding chair.

Dude. The can opener. Oh, my God. Get the fuck out of here. What song is this? Gangnam Style? Gangnam Style. There's a 45-second one out there you guys got to see. You got to get two gumps. Let's find a 45 second one out there you guys

got to see. We got to see more. This breaking made me my new favorite sport. I did not know there was going to be a fish flop as one of the moves. Fish on a boat flop.

Felt like a couple of those in there. Catch me tonight at Foxy's. I'm doing Olympic breakdancing. How about the back roll, but not straight over top? One to the side. Don't want to hurt the neck. They can't hurt the neck. We got people sliding on their head in this thing.

She got off the shore. The breakdancing community is so pissed about this. Oh, God. This is a prank. It's got to be a fantasy football game. It has to be. There were a lot of people on the internet commenting that this is a classic five-year-old nephew situation saying, watch what I can do. Dude, this has to be.

Yes! That's hard. Good head spin. She sees others do something like this. All right. I can't watch anymore of them. No way. They just picked a girl with the coolest name.

B-Girl Raygun. We got a girl with the last name fucking Raygun. B-Girl. Get her out there now. Hey, congrats on being an Olympian. Yeah. She was on one of them boats. She was.

She was. Maybe. Unless they picked her out of the crowd anybody from australia need you you ever dance before i need you to watch what's going on just try to do some of the it can't be that bad you got tick tock on your phone it's you got a lot of creative freedom in here they'll be judging on all just do whatever you got to do okay i see him moving her legs like this how about about her? Give her the gold. What if she wins gold?

I need a jersey. I mean, who said that that's not art? Art or Australia. Or Australia. Yeah, I think that's the Australia.

Boo. Boo. She's doing kangaroo. That was kangaroo for Australia. Holy shit. Wow. I'm happy

breaking is in the Olympics. Me too. Ray Gunn stole the show. Any other Olympic updates other than B-Girl Ray Gunn time? There's a lot of track coming up this afternoon, which the U.S. is involved in pretty much all of it, as you would expect. We are one back in women's golf. Rose Zhang is

one back. Nelly Corder is four back. Final round will be tomorrow. Tomorrow at noon, USA versus Brazil soccer final. So that's awesome. And then Spencer Lee has not wrestled yet, I don't believe. I haven't seen him come up yet, so we're still waiting on that. But, yeah, other than that, we are good on the Olympics. Yeah.

All right, preseason games. We've got the starters, obviously, in four of them. We should be excited about that. But there's other games where starting quarterbacks are playing for one team but not playing for the other team. Yeah, Jaden Daniels is going versus the Jets. Aaron Rodgers is not going to go. He obviously didn't practice yesterday because of the rain,

and I think it's a smart move, to be honest. Jordan Love will play versus the Browns. Deshaun Watson will not go in that. Jameis Winston will be your starting quarterback there. Joe Burrow is going to go against the Bucs, but Baker Mayfield will not be going for the Bucs. You'll get Kyle Trask as a starter

in that one. Tonight, you're going to get Fields versus Stratt. Because Fields isn't the starter? Is that why we didn't put the S on that one? Correct. Because Russ is still pole position. Got it.

That's where we're going with that one. There's a lot going on this weekend. The Raiders-Vikings game, I was looking at that one because those still are like now Sam Darnold's technically started right now, but the Raiders, they don't know who their starting quarter's going to be and the Vikings they don't either. That one's actually got some actual

stipulations as far as how they play, I believe. But no, there's some interesting stuff out there this weekend. Can't wait to watch. We appreciate the holiday. Good week from Hammer. Done! Done! Oh, and I would be a hater if I didn't mention how good the Ravens are in the preseason. They had 124 straight. They hadn't lost since 2015

until last season when they lost on a last-second kick, 29-28 to the Commanders. But the Ravens go tonight against the Eagles. I don't believe Jalen Hurts is going, and I know Lamar Jackson is knocked on. To your point about the Ravens, we have an entire graphic about them winning, like, 24 out of the last 26 games or something. Now, the two that they've lost are the last two preseason games they had last year. Uh-oh.

So is this a new trend? Is this a new Baltimore Ravens preseason team? Or do they go back to their normally dominant and easy-to-bet-on preseason game? This is the Baltimore Ravens have a couple stats here. D-Bone looked up, pulled up. This used to be their time. Since August 11, 2016, the Ravens have been virtually unbeatable. 24-game win streak in the span.

Ravens then lost the last two games of last preseason against the Commanders by one, and the Bucs by six. Close games. Ravens are always going to play hard. Tough team, because they play a physical style. So your team's going to have to show up with a launch pail if they want to figure it out. Will the Ravens

be able to get another one this evening and get back into 25 out of the last 27 preseason harbaugh is 44 and 14 in preseason games damn good luck out there eagles yeah i'd be screwed favorite tomlin's on an 18 and four run uh for the sealers so the afc north knows how to play some preseason oh nobody really talks about steelers because the ravens steal the conversation. Tomlin wins in preseason as well, huh? Yeah, 18-4 run. What is it? 16-5-1 ATS.

Whoa. Good to know. Okay. Taking on D'Amico, though, in the Texans. We don't really know. With their starters. I like betting on teams that it's their second game, coming off the Hall of Fame game. They looked good.

They did. Both teams looked good in the Hall of Fame game. Last night looked like crop. Yeah, total crop. Last night time was total crop which we think was the weather so this weekend will be better all right thank you tone thank you oh us women's team soccer team yeah tomorrow uh at noon tar noon versus brazil let's go win that here we go yeah i like this team oh yeah they got a lot of they got a lot of moxie yeah They fight. They come back and they're pumped about being back. Sophia.

Rodman. Smith. No, Sophia. Rose Lavelle. Trinity, Rodman. They were just on the Today Show yesterday. They gave themselves a nickname. Triple Shot Espresso.

They are awesome to watch. They got good energy. Also, number 10, Blonde Hair Girl. She's our captain. She runs that shit. She was good for our women's team starting last year, I think. I started to see her come on the field. And she, immediately upon getting on the field, was like, oh, that's the next one.

The future. That is the next one. And then you add this trio up top it's like here we go we got a we got a team

we're back gotta be Brazil whole new I need it gotta be Brazil for the good of America start it off right yeah we need it we need it

great work this week boys really good work you too alright let's get the hell out of here let's go celebrate the shit out of Evan Fox let's do it

start of the week with his birthday happy birthday Evan happy birthday do it. Started the week with his birthday. Happy birthday, Evan. Happy birthday, Foxy. End of the week with a nice wedding reception. Wedding and reception. Yes.

Reception. We've seen the moonwalk. I don't know if we're going to see it tonight. I got to work. That's an in-house, in-mirror thing. And then bring it out to the public yeah when it's ready you can tell when people aren't prepared you know always got to be prepared b-girl reagan yeah she never washed herself one time in a mirror do anything she did she's gonna go freestyle great moxie and we appreciate the pizzazz yeah we need her for an interview if we can yes Yes. Because maybe she's too good at breaking.

We don't understand. That's the next iteration of what she's doing. And there are a lot of rounds here, so she might be saving her bag, her vocab for... This is qualifying for swim. Yeah. When you're just trying to get in. Makes sense. Just want to feel the pool, feel the stage.

I'm only going to do one fish flop. Yeah. I'm going to show the next iteration. She goes from fish flop into headstand yeah and that and then she does the whirlybird yep spins around spinner rooney she did do the booker t spinner rooney at one time i saw she didn't drop the all right thank you all for watching let's address it okay last night we got to see for the first time this hawkeye technology take on the first down thing for the football world hawkeye technology from tennis where they

have a laser thing and then a sensor thing and then you get the most accurate results and you can challenge it but what hawkeye says goes because once again there's a sensor in the ball they got lasers all over the place they're the most accurate and most efficient yes what happened last night cannot happen hey hawkeye this is going to be an easy come easy go situation if you're going to take three minutes and 30 seconds 40 no it's 340 this whole video okay okay.30 was the entirety of, let's go to the Hawkeye technology. Now we wait. Three minutes and 30 seconds is an eternity. Can't do that.

And you got these 90-year-olds with these chains. Obviously, they'll come bopping out, fall all over themselves. The chain would be discombobulated. There would be a judgment on whether or not the stick was perfectly perpendicular to the ground or if it was leaning a little bit and that whole thing 45 seconds most and people would be like get these

fuckers off the field what are we here for this is taking forever three minutes and 30 seconds it took for this hawkeye technology in the lions giants game to say that the ball came up short and then he put a picture of it up on the scoreboard and by the time they put the picture up on the scoreboard everybody in the crowd was like, what the fuck are we doing? We're supposed to be six plays down. No, brand new technology. Everybody looked at the scoreboard and it was a ball and then there was a little green space

and there was the first down marker and everybody went Oh. It doesn't help that it was a solid foot short. Not even close. Three minutes and 30 seconds. Not even close. Three minutes and 30 seconds. Not even close. And then Dan Campbell actually goes, okay, sweet, and then looks away.

Can't be making the game longer by introducing technology. And I do fear that three minutes and 30 seconds later, that popped up on the Jumbotron. Short. It's short, guys. It's short. You waited for it. You got it. It is is short this can't happen and we're assuming

first time utilizing it us seeing it it was very rainy even though there's going to be conditions and things uh can't be slowing the game down that much the purpose of technology is to expedite the game and make it more accurate and if they treat this like they treated the challenging of the past interference where it's basically a waste of time to even use it, so they can get it out of the game and then they can go back to what the old school shit was, I don't like that. It feels like a laser and a sensor could be good for describing a touchdown or a first down, especially in massive moments.

But three minutes and 30 seconds per time is going to be an immediate outrage. People are not going to like it. It's going to get kicked out. Let's give it some hope. Let's give it some patience. But also, to get kicked out. Let's give it some hope. Let's give it some patience. But also, if it does that, let's give it hell. Because that cannot be

taking place. The whole thing with tennis too is when they go to the tennis Hawkeye technology, it is five seconds. Basically, immediately after the point, they show it on the Jumbotron. They show the shot trajectory and they show it out or in. Like it's immediate.

Like that's the only way something like this will work is as soon as that guy goes down and the refs take a look just from their eye, like, eh, I'm not sure, they can just say, hey, let's go to the big board. And then right away you can see that ball with how far away it is. Because like Bruce said, that's not even close. You should be able to tell that that's a fourth down either way. And the ref had it right. So that's a whole nother thing that the ref's gonna say yeah just like i fucking you know that whole thing and then at what point is the ball you know in possession

with the receiver because that was like a hit tackle fall back type thing and normally refs eyes will give them whenever the ball touches their chest and then the drive back doesn't count we're giving it to them there yeah are they able to find out when the ball touches their chest and then the drive back doesn't count. We're giving it to them there. Are they able to find out when the ball is secured by this sensor? Yeah, I think it was bobbled a bit so that was why it was back there. It wasn't really a Hawkeye situation. Yeah, and are they mixing the Hawkeye with

video? How much of it and how are we doing 3 minutes and 30 seconds? Do you think it has anything to do with the newer the stadium better the technology? I mean, there's a chance that service and satellites and signal and everything will help, I would assume. But

with how many people, too? Are they going to cross swords with service? You go to a stadium, you're getting no service for anything. Now, you would assume, obviously, it's going to be an isolated network that these are going to be on and everything like that. But what if it's not? Also, do they take a minute to find the guy?

Like, whoa, shit, where's the Hawkeye guy? This is our first time needing to do this. Well, new stadiums, too. It's like, oh, okay, well, hey, if this was SoFi, man, this Hawkeye would be much quicker. But we're playing in MetLife today, so this is just how it is. Yeah, I can see MetLife having the worst Hawkeye in the league. God, you would think that would be mandated.

Yeah, that has to be immediate. And it can't be. I had so much hope for this Hawkeye in the league. God, you would think that would be mandated. Yeah, that has to be immediate. And it can't be... I had so much hope for this Hawkeye. I know. Well, we'll see how it is this weekend. 3.30, dude? I ain't got time. Oh, no. I ain't got time. I'm not watching that game anymore. But who knows? We might get one this weekend where it works like instantaneously, like Connor was saying.

You know, like it's short. Let's go to the Hawkeye. Okay, yep. Actually, it was the first down. Here we go. Yeah, you're right. There's a chance that that's what it is. There's a chance. Well, how come the first one wasn't? All the practice, the offseason, what happened? Did it glitch? What if it glitches?

What if it freezes? What if there's a... They're not prepared for any of that kind of stuff. What if there's a loading screen? Yep. What if it's, like, super and obviously wrong at one point? Yeah, then conspiracy fodder is really going to heat up. Where's the Hawkeye technology from?

Do we know? Not sure. Because the only sports that we know of, right, is VAR and tennis. Yeah. Yeah. For the Hawkeye. Too strong. It was found in England.

Oh, okay. Oh, great. Oh, great. Great, because with soccer, the longer the weight, the better, so everybody can get a breather. Exactly. You know, we were told by a fella named Grella, who's currently in Italy living his best life. Absolute grazie to him.

You know, when the flopping and diving happens, that's also like, hey, let's take a breather here. Let's take a breather. The ref is always, ha, ha. The's take a breather here. Let's take a breather. The ref is always a ha ha. The ref wants a breather as well. So they're kind of doing each other a favor whenever that's taking place. We as non-soccer people go, look, flopping around.

Get up, get up. But the soccer community is like, hey. Stay down. You can stay down for a while. Roll, roll, 10 more, 10 more, 10 more rolls. Some water. It's 100 degrees out here. It's really hot.

So is this Hawkeye technology? Like, hey, take a breather. Everybody take a breather. What if anybody's soaking in the moment? Hey, remember you're at a game. What if the Hawkeye technology puts up like a toast? Everybody raise your glass while we try to figure out

the Hawkeye toast. You're out and you're living. Maybe some Jeopardy music. You're having a good time? 3.30 of Jeopardy music is a long time. No thanks. That'd be neat. You're out and you're living. Yep. Maybe some Jeopardy music. You're having a good time? Do-do-do. 3.30 of Jeopardy music is a long time. No thanks. That's a long time. For the Hawkeye!

I didn't know we got this from England. For the Hawkeye! No, I just heard we got it from Texas. Oh, no. Yeah. You just got to drop back and sit in the pocket. There it is. And then throw that thing in the fucking hole.

In the hole. For the good of football. Oh, damn. Hey, it's going to be a great preseason weekend if this ball falls. This one. I mean, Fields tonight. Come on. You're going to run wild, brother.

If this goes in, Fields runs wild. And then we've got a full Russell Wilson conversation all Monday. Yep. Oh, fuck. This dude. It's NFL. Alright. Looks like games are going to be shit, boys.

Let's enjoy them, though. Let's watch some shitty football. Hell yeah. That's what it's all about. Alright, be a friend, tell a friend something nice that might change your life. We can't thank you enough for allowing us to do this for a living. Remember, we're just 15 days away from college football starting in Ireland, in Dublin. We'll be there on the Friday before the Georgia Tech-Florida State game live from Dublin, Ireland. We cannot wait to enjoy the rest of the season with all of you. God, I'm getting zeeked up.

We're close. Belichick on Monday. Can't wait for that. Let's go. Let's go. It's going to be awesome. Be a friend Tell a friend something nice
