Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble abode the Thunderdome on this feel-good Friday June 27th 2025 this program begins right now Sport are happening all around us the last two nights We saw the next generation of potential NBA superstars. Congrats everybody They got drafted and got two-way deals into the NBA now Ace Bailey in a Utah Jazz is certainly something that's gonna be monitored. We had Ryan Smith, the owner of the Utah Jazz on yesterday

and he said, we're gonna love the hell out of you buddy whenever you get out here. Just know that we're gonna support him. We got selfless veterans here. We have an entire staff. We have a state that's ready for you. That's what Ryan Smith said. Then last night during a second round of the draft

there chit chat about how there's still maybe a little bit of a disagreement on where he's gonna play, what he's going to do from what i have heard it seems like the people that are in the know will talk to shahm sharani here in about 10 15 minutes or so to kind of wrap up all the nba news from this week which there has been a plethora of from what everybody's saying in the nba world this guy's kind of stuck like hey this is uh unless you thought jazz decided to trade you like you're kind of stuck or you can sit out and come back next year You'll miss out on I think nine million dollars is what the rookie contract was for the fifth overall pick or something forty million in total So I'll be excited to hear what Sean says and also I'll be excited to see a face who's seemingly a dog

I mean all accounts dog on the basketball court I'll be excited to see what his thoughts are on Utah if he gets out there. Experiences a little bit, you know, Utah, obviously not a big city. Okay. Uh, Utah is not like, uh, considered a big market. Uh, but I think if you were to go there, like we were able to do, you would feel that the entire state is on your side. Like the entire place is here for you in a small markets. I think are kind of a thing of the past anyways with the day, the way modern technology is and the way things are shared and what content matters,

what clips don't matter. Oklahoma City and Indiana Pacers obviously go on a seven game NBA final series and the ratings inevitably end up 10% year over year. All that matters is good basketball. And if you do well and accomplish everything you want to do for the Utah Jazz, which is what Ryan Smith said, he said he can accomplish everything he's ever dreamed of here. We can win here. He can make a lot of money here. We can do everything. He can be the king here. He can do everything he wants to do here.

Hopefully he'll be able to experience that and if not drama, we'll keep Shams's thumbs active. We'll talk to him in about 13 minutes. In the second hour, we'll have our weekly wrap up with rap sheet and friends. about 13 minutes in the second hour. We'll have our weekly wrap up with rap sheet and friends. Us being the friends, he being rap sheet, Ian Rapoport talking about the NFL news, because there is some NFL news that came out this week. And then tonight, obviously big deal, because the next generation of NHL superstars happen

as the NHL draft is this evening. So sports are happening. It's certainly off season. It is certainly an off season conversation. We've been very thankful to the basketball community for allowing us to do basketball shows You know in the past obviously we are football doofus Guilty sure as charged Every day brother, whatever it just it continues to give to oh, there's a new

Renovation deal and since tonight, right? Let's talk about that I mean that NFL we appreciate the hell out of it. But we've never been able to really do basketball because we didn't really know the basketball world and also we didn't have access to Eclipse and have access to anything really in the basketball world other than former players that we were maybe friends with but did they have the you know like the whole thing. So this year getting a chance to be like welcomed into the NBA and having an opportunity to cover basketball and chit chat. I mean, you talk about Q-Rich, you talk about UD, obviously you talk about Jamal Crawford, you talk about everybody that kind of helped Perk coming on afterwards, and then obviously the Pacers helping us out,

and Adam Silver wanting us to be a part of it. It's like, basketball is really cool. Yeah. Feels like it's over. Yeah, certainly. Well, free agents free agency starting so maybe it's not Oh, yeah, but all the big names because most craziest. Yeah, we still got Yanis out there You know, we don't know what's gonna happen with that. There will probably be a couple other guys and HL draft tonight Let's have it. We got a couple big things. That's a talk to table at boss Connor and at Ty Schmidt you two Dressed perfectly for the occasion casual Friday, man, you get it Seems like a cool There ain't nothing casual about this brother. I don't know

This is cool Friday if you have a leather jacket, hey no hat on either, huh bub I told you maybe there's other iterations with this jacket It's been calling to me like the green goblin mask since I put it on on wednesday Truly, it's been calling to me since I laid my eyes on it as you guys can tell but yeah, I had to I didn't even To be honest, I didn't want to but I had to well that jacket shows you obviously And I thought maybe we'd go clean shave with the mustache and then let's go to another Clothing item that is really captivated you guys over there. I doubt that you are goats right there That's a good hat. It's the best hat that's ever been created. But how about this shirt? Yeah, you know I wore another shirt in today that was nice, but I looked at myself in the mirror And I was like it's kind of tight. I kind of look like a fatso in this

So I'm not gonna wear this you know I took it off, and I said well What's that that's a big league to Aaron judge Judge tee give me that thing not very many people have this it's a great shirt and I think the best part about it is the hat really complements the shirt. Grand slam grape exactly yeah great flavor. Big league two still doing it out there? Certainly. Big time certainly. Really? People still smacking bags? Oh yeah. Really? Big league two still smacking bags. Smacking bags and chomping jaws, you know, per usual. But the only thing I will say about Big League Chew is it's very easy to go through a bag in, I don't know, six minutes. You know, kind of just chew that thing like an ass. And every once in a while if you get one that's too dusty, that's not good. But if you get a good Big League Chew bag, wow, what a time.

You're in heaven. You're the cock of the walk. Yeah, exactly. You're not the only one that has a Big League Chew shirt on. I don't know if you looked in the back, Zito's got a Paul Skeen's one on. That'd be sick. So it feels like I'm not 100% sure, okay?

I'm not 100% sure. I should keep track more of the packages that get delivered to the Thunderdome. I do appreciate what we have going on now where it's like every couple of weeks, there's a unboxing that happens here. Perd. And then there is a decision to be made on whether this goes immediately into the trash can Or it gets a chance to hang around for a couple days Then go immediately to the trash exactly the big league chew popped up out of nowhere shout the big league chew sending us shit

You had to come from them, right? Yes, it did it did they have some sort of deal with the uh mlb players association So I think they sent uh you and digs one with a Paul skeins and I believe Unfortunately Connor got one with Rafael Devers who has since been traded from the Red Sox. That's like a collectible. Yeah Collectible, I don't know. It's I don't think it's worth much. Thanks a lot big league chew It would look good underneath that jacket. I Disagree, I think you know underneath this jacket hair looks good too. Thank you very much underneath that jacket. I disagree. I think you know underneath this jacket, hair looks good too bub. Thank you very much. Underneath this jacket it's really just not what it's even about you know. It's really just about. What's on the back of that jacket a lot of people are asking. Are we revealing it or I mean I don't

know. It's on you. A lot of people are saying oh look it's it's the grease you know T-Birds thing something like that. I don't know what that is. I don't know you're the one that I want whoo-hoo-hoo I don't know, you know, that's not that's not this jacket This is a different jacket completely different from you're the one that I want whoo-hoo-hoo Okay, so I don't know why that was the assumption but maybe maybe we'll reveal it at the end of the show I again, I don't know. I don't like to turn around in it because I love seeing you're telling me that's not a that's not a Thunderbirds That's not a t-birch jacket. No What is this? What is this? 1988? No, this isn't a t-birch jacket. You're not Zuko

Look Danny Zuko Granted with everything that Danny Zuko did after the film and as his life progressed not sure but that movie I mean ten out out of 10, I am a Zuko guy, I will say. I do respect his style. I think you look amazing. The hair looks great too. I think that is first time the world has gotten to see

since you've grown out the sides. Yeah, last week I had no app for a couple days, but they're finally going behind the ears, the wings. Cause you were transitioning from mullet cut, which is a fade here to just full long hair. To just long hair, yeah. And even now, like at some point, I will cut this down to kind of shape it all

and then continue to grow it all. Oh, like a cool shape. There's a guy named Mickey who does, is a barber for the WWE. You'll never be able to, ah, with that leather jacket, maybe. He's coolest looking guy I've ever seen. Okay. Okay okay. He owns quills if we're back at the old place Oh, wow, he walks in there and everybody says wow, that's the coolest looking guy I've ever seen He has long hair that is like

The way it is would be great. It would be a great bucket the way it sets. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, that that's kind of work because right now I didn't realize this my hair is pretty long Yeah, you've been doing this a long time. You've been at it. Congratulations. Yeah, a long time. So I think once this, the side gets to a level that I like it at, then I can kind of cut all the hair to the side length. And then we can kind of reset this mark. That jacket going to be able to survive summer?

I know not about it. In here, brother? Yeah. This jacket's going to be able to survive just fine. This is going to be every Friday for the rest of my life. It's been real hot outside Yeah, a hundred and two or something yesterday said it felt like we're out there in the Z because a humid humid thick out there It's a wonderful time and it's no drafts tonight Come on the future. We're talking big league chewing baseball

Exactly one half of the hammer that Cowboys a P. Tony's here super cool hat Thank you. This was a gift from the one Taylor Luan really yeah sang great national anthem the other day He did I saw him one time. I said that's a really cool hat and he said it's yours brother That's type of guy he is oh he took that off his head in Columbus. Maybe mmm Maybe he brought it here. No he gave it to me David's it to you to give to me I think it was in Columbus. We're walking on the street I think if I'm if I'm not mistaken you guys went to Herbie's steakhouse got a herby. Yeah, I think we did Great gift from Taylor the one he's a good guy. I will say traveling with it painting. Yes Yeah, but I knew it's a good gift that is coming to coming to tone digs there. You look really cool

Thank you tonight the NHL draft. There are no odds for the first overall pick and we think there is a chance It's because this guy Matthew Schaefer is such an odds-on favorite to be the number one overall pick But the guy far back corner there. Oh Hagen Dog Hagen, sorry plural. He's from Long Island. The Islanders have the number one overall pick So there's a lot of people thinking that there's a chance maybe the hometown kid gets drafted but Matthew Schaefer supposed to be the guy who's supposed to go tonight NHL drafts very rarely do we have any clue who any of these guys are you know very very rarely normally from obviously Hagens being from Long Island is a big

deal that's America I think there's a couple other Americans up there too but normally these first several picks are from either somewhere in Canada or they're from a country over upon way over there in a super cold port town. Correct. And so whenever they get drafted hockey purists know the names but most people don't unless it's like a generational talent. Like when old buddy Bedard was coming out for Chicago a couple years ago, like this one could be this guy could be the guy that really hasn't happened this year with this draft I Haven't heard like hey potential the guy but everybody that gets drafted in the NHL is fucking good Like everybody they all have a they all have an opportunity to be like very very good It's a I think their hit rates probably a little bit better

Yeah, the generational guys next year you mentioned with Badaard and you know McDavid before that and shit Crosby You mentioned with Badaard and you know McDavid before that and shit Crosby like those guys the dude That's considered in almost that kind of pantheon generation generational. Yeah is next year McKenna but that Hagen's kid he played at BC from Long Island And you remember that camera that the Atlanta Falcons had that was? Above and they were following B. John Robinson and it just showed him because they were following like the football and it was on a run. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bingo.

Yeah, they did that with Hagens during a BC game. And I don't think it was centered on the puck. I think it was centered on him and he is ridiculous the way he kind of they're also good to me, especially like in college hockey because a lot of the times they're getting drafted from, you know, the Canadian league or the, you know, OHL, whatever the hell it is. And, and you get, it's hard to tell like when with BC at being college hockey, knowing who they're playing in everybody.

And sometimes if it's a top five team in the country or whatever, like Hagan's, he holds up, he can have the puck in the offensive zone for as long as the penguins did against the black, threeks. Three shifts. Three shifts, yeah, and on his own. Like he's very good. Dangler! Guys got the dangles.

And if I remember correctly, he's got some size too. I think he might be a little bit of a big son of a bitch. The Matthew Schaeffer kid actually played with McKenna on the Canadian national team or whatever, the youth squad. But if he gets drafted number one tonight, he will be the first player since Connor McDavid to go number one In the aforementioned OHL draft and number one in the NHL draft. That's Schaefer highlights right there. He played for the Erie Otters Don't look now, you know who else played for the Erie Otters? McDavid Wow

How about is that right Nick? I just got that one, right? That is also Stanley Cup champion in front of the program Mike Rupp played for the Erie Auditorium. Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp, Rupp living it like, like a foreign exchange student, they're coming in to play hockey, either in these junior leagues or these semi-professional leagues. Some guys go to college, obviously. The frozen four is obviously electrifying every single year, but hockey will find you. If you're playing, there is an avenue to get there.

And as a Pittsburgh Penguins fan, I obviously had gotten a chance to learn about some hilarious NHL draft stories when Evgeny Malkin was drafted number one overall out of Russia and there was like real conversation immediately about like we don't know if he's ever gonna be able to get here and like what do you mean like well his contracts pretty tied up in Russia and you know there's some real worry allegedly got smuggled out of the country to get to Pittsburgh. And then his family had to do the same thing to get to Pittsburgh.

His family was obviously beloved, but it was like a storyline that was like, is this guy even going to be able to get here? Like I think in the NBA, there's a lot of European guys that have been getting drafted. For hockey, it's always been like, got to deal with that league too, got to make it all happen. And I'm excited to see what the NHL does tonight. Now, Nick, what are some storylines we need to look into this evening if it's not just the draft prospects that maybe none of us know any names of other than the hockey purist

people? Yeah you mentioned the prospects and all the kids dreams come true being selected tonight. One of the things is this is the year the NHL is doing a decentralized draft so normally when the NHL is draft all the GMs players front office people they're all in the building decentralized draft. So normally when the NHL is draft all the GMs players, front office people, they're all in the building together. This year they're doing it kind of like how the NFL does it where they have their draft room set up in their facilities. So it's a little bit different. Normally they'd all be on the floor mingling and chatting and kind of you can see them doing business with each other because at the draft a lot of trades happen.

So you see an opportunity for a lot of veteran players to get moved. Right now Noah Dobson is the guy for the New York Islanders that a lot of guys are speculating will be traded. He's a 25 year old defenseman, he's a power play quarterback, he's offensively talented from the back end, makes a great first pass. He's gonna command somewhere between 10 or 11 million dollars a year on his next contract so we're looking for a a trade and a big extension for Noah Dobson. Right now, some of the teams reportedly in the mix. You've got Montreal Canadians, the Columbus Blue Jackets and the St. Louis Blues all sniffing around. And people speculate if the Islanders were able to get some more picks back in this Dobson trade,

they may move up again into the top 10 and try and get James Hagens the Long Island kid a little bit later. Okay love to hear that thank you for the breakdown I mean I feel like I just I know exactly what's gonna happen this evening the no Dobson trade feels like everybody agrees that that's gonna happen I noticed that you missed one of the talking points under the potential storylines the road to Lord Stanley's Cup coming back to Pittsburgh starts tonight yeah I have it on good authority of Kyle Dubas, the new general manager. Dubas. That's not his name. His name is Dubas. D-U-B-A-S.

I hope he smacks you in the mouth next time you see him. Dubas? No. No, he's not a Dubas. He's a young superstar, a young legend, a man who's been tasked with rebuilding and retooling a legendary franchise. And it starts tonight tonight and he's gonna get it right Don't you worry about what happens out there the road to Lord Stanley Cup coming back to the south side of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Starts tonight with a draft. That's what people are talking. We're just telling you what people are talking Yeah, it starts tonight and ends when do piss gets fired because when that happens, that's good Then maybe this was very good does I'm a huge do this guy? This guy then maybe this was very good. I'm a huge doobest guy

Unfortunately, I know I'm staring down what maybe you guys are too blind to see okay He has a great draft. Oh my god. He gets a bunch of good players. You know what happens what the penguins? Finished below 500 what and then hey do pistol well, let's not let's not just throw out what do pissed it dude this does not be let's not throw out what do pissed it for us all year okay let's not do that can i ask you a question pat next year hold on let me let me get to the end of the road and no we didn't trade away where the world starts yeah not not yet that wasn't it uh you get to that next season and now we're in 2020 now we're in the next draft yeah yeah now we're in the next draft again do this amazing It's it's it's so good Bruins end up with the number one pick they get Gavin McKenna you do piss and the boys you guys probably

Have ten and then that year not good It's just a farewell tour for Sydney cross you all of a sudden Crosby Malkin's already gone by this point because this is last year Crosbyrosby, then he retires, sails off into the sunset. It's a very good celebration. Then Dupitz, coach, bald coach, weirdo guy. Hey, Muse. Yeah, Dan Muse. Dan Muse.

Both of them are gone. He's not weary. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. Full blown, I guess he's a Boston guy actually. So yeah, he is probably a good guy. But full blown rebuild starts them after Crosby then The road to Pittsburgh's next Stanley Cubs starts. You have no idea

See any Crosby's coming back but shut up. Hey, is that pasta jersey still hanging up there? It is and he's still on the team. We should get that down because they might trade him this weekend That's what happened. Get rid of Marshy, get rid of pasta If they get rid of pasta, buy Buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy! That's what the Boston Bruins are known as. Bye bye Boston Bruins. They're saying bye bye to all the Boston Bruins. Look, first of all, the Marshy and Trey looking back at it, not a bad trade. Got a Stanley Cup representative for the Boston Bruins.

The Prime Marshy and one of Stanley Cup, I'm happy for him as shit. And guess what? The Bruins are going to first round pick. So, trade a 37 year old who you know has two four years left but not with Boston you know get a first round pick or let him walk at the end of the season. What does what does Don Sweeney do? I don't know. Your team Don Sweeney? I guess I guess well looking back all of a sudden hold on Don what did you know? You know that's what I'm thinking. But again, the foundation just like the Celtics, the Bruins got their foundations pasta McAvoy in the Swim and what if pasta is gone?

Pasta is not going anywhere. Pasta is the pasta they say. Pasta said that if it was allowed, he would change his nationality to Massachusetts. So would that we play for our Olympic team, then he would play for Team USA. That's right. Okay, I'm cool with that. for our Olympic team? Then he would play for Team USA, that's right. Okay, I'm cool with that. Sidney Crosby did petition to be an American in the next Super Duper World Games. What's happening? The NHL did something cool. They got the 8 Nations Super Cup. Yeah, they want to do a World Cup of Hockey again in 2028, I believe. Love that. Four Nations on juice. Yeah, Pittsburgh's trying to host it, I think, if I'm not mistaken. Pittsburgh's like, hey, come on into town. Let's go ahead and I think if I'm not mistaken Pittsburgh's like hey come on in the back. Let's go ahead and

Let's go ahead and do this World Cup of hockey here in hockey Let's get away from hot you guys have a team still yes, we have a team Okay, and doofus you guys have picks 1112 his name is doofus guess who has picked 13 You guys better not mess that one up cuz Stevie Iserman. He's gonna find the next Stevie is a man he's gonna find the next day. I was gonna have to still there. Good luck to all the hockey teams. We love hockey. That is how we talk about hockey. We talk shit about our friends hockey teams and we enjoy the

hell out of hockey. Also, big announcement. The Commissioner of the NHL, Gary Bettman, will be joining us next Tuesday. Next Tuesday, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman will be joining us next Tuesday Next Tuesday NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman will be joining us obviously we'll talk about the giraffe and another successful run another hell of a season for the NHL and Growing popularity I believe and now the wagon of Florida is something that I can't wait to hear his thoughts of yeah growing Popularity for him to it feels like this year

I don't think the boos were very loud at all granted it was at Florida and Florida wanted so maybe they're all juiced up but it feels like Gary Berman almost has a baby face turn here yeah commissioners get quickly to a point where they need to be flanked by make-a-wish firefighters military teachers yep first responders local heroes yeah like that Yep. First responders. Local heroes. Yep. Yep. Like that is commissioners get to that point cause they have to make a decision against your team.

Like they're the ones that are the face of a decision against your team. That is probably not going to be good. Like very rarely do people celebrate the commissioner whenever they get billion dollars in TV deals. And like the franchise, like very rarely is that like a, you know what, good job. Commissioner's job is to go out there and be the one that has to deliver the bad news while also navigate it and i'm not saying they all do perfectly obviously commissioners do not do

perfectly but if one person pisses you off you can see how sports fans turn against that person forever for betman it does feel like there was a negative obviously he was a part of the uh lockout yeah a couple work stoppages. Pat, Connor's right, you're right. Gary Bettman's never been hotter in the streets. Yeah, I think you could argue that he was like the most hated guy in sports even. Like people who weren't big time hockey fans

were like, this guy's a moron, like during the lockout. And he had to sit in the pocket and just take it. And then they changed the rules of the game, like actually changed the game of hockey to try to make it a little bit faster, a little bit more exciting. Then all of a sudden ratings start going up on the other side of the lockout,

their business starts rolling, they get a new deal. It's like, I feel like he probably feels pretty vindicated with everything that happened, but that is the job of a commissioner, you know? And you can tell when a commissioner is not good, we've all seen it. And then you can tell whenever a sport's getting hot, there's probably a reason,

it's probably leadership at the top. Congrats to Gary. The NHL has been awesome. And NBA has been great to us too. We are very, very lucky for all of it. Joining us now is a senior NBA insider at ESPN. A man who's had a very active week. We have no idea what his screen time is.

We assume it is alarming. Ladies and gentlemen, Shom Sharanya. How you doing, Shom? I'm doing great. Two days of the year. My first ESPN NBA draft out of the way. I'm still in Brooklyn. I head to Bristol, Connecticut. Tonight, we will be stationed in Bristol

until the foreseeable future, working on free agency. So it's up to something season. You're living in Bristol? I'm not living in Bristol. I'm just going to Bristol for free agency. So you're out here. Your bunker down in Bristol for free agency. We're in the cave. We're in the cave.

We're in the headquarters. We're in. We're in the house. Like, and we're bringing the noise here. So being in a cave, not a bad thing from what we had a cave conversation earlier. Actually, my father purchased some land from some Amish people and turns out obviously no electricity no running water and also there's a cave on property if you want to go splunking and that's right I believe we will go focus on the work just work yeah that's it and that's the best light on and get in there let's

talk about before we get in the free agency let's talk about the last two nights of news obviously the ace bailey conversation still carried into the free agency, let's talk about the last two nights of news. Obviously the Ace Bailey conversation still carried into the second round of the draft last night. Everybody's kind of giving their opinions on this. We talked to Ryan Smith yesterday. Ryan talked about how much he thinks Ace would be loved in Utah, how supported he would be in Utah, and how much they are excited for him basically,

and how they got selfless veterans was the way he, I think that was a very key word that he Sent out there like hey We got a team full of vets who are very selfless ready for you to do whatever you need to do here as a member of the Utah Jazz What is the current like? position here between ace Bailey into Utah Jazz and When will we get an actual answer on what the truth because I heard Monday press conference then I heard like yesterday press conference

What is like the truth here? Ace bailey is by well regarded by everyone as just an unbelievable person unbelievable uh kid and People people all around the league know him as a person ready to play basketball The jazz are ready to welcome him in whenever he's there. I mean directly They don't start summer league practice until Monday. There's not going to be a press conference until Sunday or Monday. And he didn't work out with Utah, which is common.

Walter Clayton Jr., who they drafted later in the first round, didn't work out there either. And so there's just obviously conjecture there. There's clearly been some communication lapses between both sides as far as from Ace Bailey and his situation is an interesting one. I remember I was on the show a couple of weeks ago. He's got a representative Omar Cooper who's actually a former NBA player Sharif Cooper's father, but he's not a certified NBA agent.

So directly there's not really a way for NBA teams to necessarily, you know, they're going to communicate with the certified agent. There are certified agents there in place, but Omar Cooper has taken a lot of the responsibility there. So what has the advice been there? What has the process been like? Clearly, they had their eyes set on somewhere other than Utah, right? And whether that was Washington at number six,

and it didn't happen. But this isn't the first time a player wanted to go somewhere else and then didn't land at the team that he wanted to go to. That's the draft. When you declare for the NBA draft or any draft in any league, you understand it's possible, you could get, unless you're the number one pick,

you could get drafted somewhere you don't want to go to. And so that's just the nature of the NBA draft. That's the nature of the league. Like the bottom line is, it's Friday now, the Jazz don't start summer league practice until Monday. And so Ace Bailey could show up to Utah tonight, he could show up Saturday, he could show up Sunday. And I guess at that point it is a non-issue. But as far as the conjecture, I mean the Jazz are not going to be trading Ace Bailey. If he's playing in the NBA, he's playing for the Utah Jazz, that's just a matter of fact. That's just a matter of the circumstance right now. So I mean unless Ace Bailey is sitting out the NBA season and forfeiting close to $10

million in his first year salary like that would be unprecedented so but that's not something that has ever been done so I think the facts and the logic are that he will play for the Utah Jazz next season. And I hear all the you know hey Eli did this and like hey John Elway did this and like this has happened before it's like those guys were being considered like Hall of Famers as they were getting drafted for it to happen to the number five overall pick Potentially third overall pick with Cooper flag in this draft class. I think that's made a lot of people go like hey This kid needs to relax, but I think to your point listening to ace Bailey talk. He's like I play basketball

I got a team of people that'll handle the thing so it does feel like there is a separation of like ace and like what is Hit what his people think is the best positioning for him, which is what happened with Eli What happened with John Elway his people were trying to do it once again They were like Hall of Famers in the making maybe they feel the same way about ace He could be a great player, but a lot of people are like, Yo, you're number five overall pick. Let's relax here, especially in the NBA draft. But in my eyes, listening to him talk and watching his highlights, it's like this guy might be a, this dude might be a dude. And it sounds like he is literally only, he just is handed over all the reins to other people who are smarter than him,

I assume, have better knowledge of the situation. We can get what is best for you. If he just gets to Utah, I think it will all, you know? I think once you land there and you meet Big Jay, and you meet Ryan, and you see the entire operation, and obviously Danny Ains, living legend, his son, Austin, then you see the facility, you see all the shit. Yeah, Hardee's obviously a dog. Like you meet all this and then you feel, I think,

like they'll probably meet him at his fucking plane lane. I assume Utah people will be there for his plane lane. It's like, that's, I think, what is happening. So hopefully this is a non-issue, Shams. That's what I'm hoping. I'm hoping it's a- I mean, listen, at the end of the day, it's never happened before.

If a player's really gonna sit out an NBA season, just logically thinking. I mean, the Jazz, no NBA team is giving in on this. No NBA team is just like, you know what? Yeah, we'll trade you to where you want to go after you've been drafted. The risks are there. You could want to go lower in the draft to get to your spot, but at the end of the day, a team is viable to draft you. Now, unless there was a draft night trade and there's something that was able to get worked out but that didn't happen and the Jazz are ready

they're not trading Ace Bailey they're not trading the pick they're not doing anything with him he will be in Utah whether he's gonna show up there today whether you show up there Monday and then if he doesn't show up Monday we'll have something even more to talk about but as of right now I would expect Logic to start to set in here. I would like Ace Bailey to know, and his team, we think it's gonna work out just fine out there. That's right. I appreciate you trying to make a move though. Yeah.

You know, like if you're trying to get your guys somewhere, you're trying to get somewhere, I think that has happened a lot. Like I heard there were stories about, hey, we'll send him to Australia. You know, granted that was second round stories, rumors, but it's like people do that. I think people try to get people to places and then when it doesn't work, when the swing doesn't work, it's like, all right, now we got to live in a new reality here and let's go ahead and make the most of it. That's the part of the league. There's been players high in the draft that want to go somewhere

and they want teams that two, three, four to pass them up, doesn't happen, they end up there and there's always that moments of one or two days of emotional feelings of like, oh it didn't work out. But at the end of the day logic always sets in in this situation. Four years, 40 million dollars is the rookie salary and the Jazz drafted Ace Bailey for Ace Bailey. That's where he will be. Imagine him and Clayton jr. do the thing up there, turn the Jazz into a great team. That place is already sold out for like 10 years straight. Every single game sold out Every home game packed to the gills. That is what it is out there if they were to have two young studs lead them to greatness I mean, we've seen it already, Oklahoma City. Obviously Tyrese gets traded here and leads it over here

It's like anything's possible. Good luck to all parties over there. Good luck also on future endeavors, Toronto Raptors fire president executive senior super duper decision maker up there. He's been there since 2013 I think is what I read. He's won a title. He's won executive of the year in that time. He's made to playoffs eight of the years that he's been there. It feels like he's had success but we've seen these types of moves out of the NBA out of nowhere. What is this kind of, how do we get here? You think Shams? Yeah, let's take a step back. The Toronto Raptors are under Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment.

That's the, you know, the big brand that conglomerate the Maple Leafs, the Raptors, other sports franchises and entities. Yeah, like, and they've been evaluating all of their president for the last year or so. They had new leadership come in at MLSC and they actually fired their NHL teams president just one month ago, Brendan Shanahan. And so around the NBA, there was all, you know, there was whispers that Masai Yajuri, whether it was going to be this off season, whether it was going to be during the season, whether it was going to be after the season, he had one

year and about $15 million left on his contract. So the presumption was, okay, maybe you get the whole season. But I woke up this morning and I got a text that Masai Yajuri was being fired today. And so he is out as the vice chairman. I mean, not only the president of the team, he's the vice chairman. He's had a high role there. He's essentially been as close to the governor slash owner of this team as can be. He showed up to the board of governor meetings year after year after year. So Masai Yajiri is out and he had a long run 13 years

there 2019 NBA championship they went to the playoffs eight times. The last three years though they kind of had floundered a little bit they didn't make the playoffs and so now they're gonna go with a full search for a president and he was under contract for 15 million dollars so the Raptors could have played the year out but they got out ahead of it and they've let him go and so now They're gonna have a full search and and we'll see where this leads them I do appreciate Messiah for sending Pascal Siakam to Indiana. That was very kind of him He made our lives much better here

Is it stuff like that that maybe is a reason why or is it just an idea they want to reset because they did it With the Maple Leafs, obviously who have No, I mean they are they still you know 2019 the Raptors win. That's great. That's huge for you The entire entity up there not the whole country everything like that the Maple Leafs every year I couldn't even imagine what ownership feels. Oh, man. Just Bang disappointment nightmare at the end of every year. So is it just a reset? They want to try to redo their things for both teams? Is that what everybody's expecting or was there like a beef? Would somebody disagree with somebody?

Masai Yajiri had a great run there, but near the end of it, it was very clear. The new leadership that was coming into MLSC and Masai Yajiri, they just did not seem like they were going to be destined for a long run. Whether it's interpersonal stuff, whether it was the fact that anytime new leadership comes in, Pat, you guys know this, there's always going to be some level of change, people wanting to bring new staffers in. And so once that happens with the Maple Leaf, with the Toronto Maple Leaf, now it's happening with the Toronto Raptors. And so part of it is resetting, but the other part of it is also, I mean, you have Pascal

Siakam, he's out, he goes to Indiana, the run he has there, Oji Ananovi, he gets traded the Knicks, he's at a level of success there. And the Raptors just the last two, three years, like what's the direction of the team, right? And I think that's what if you're MLSC, you already have your antennas up and even more so the last couple of years as they're going through their ownership restructuring, new transfer of ownership. And so usually when the old owner starting to depart, usually it follows suit in some period of time, unless there's a strong, strong relationship that is able to be built there.

Yeah, because whenever you buy something or take over something, you have a vision of how it's supposed to go. So normally, you know, we see in the NFL, a new GM comes in, it's like, yeah, but I got an idea on how this is gonna go, and it's not you, I've been great here. We don't care, we are moving on.

So it's happening in the business world, and I think Wendy said earlier- It's a stunner though. It is a stunner because he did have one year left on his deal and the fact that they do it the day after the NBA draft. I saw a clip online, Masai Yajiri was welcoming their first pick, first John Pick, you know, welcoming him to Toronto and then two days later he has been fired. I don't think people around the league expected this timing.

I wonder if it was a bad DAP. Might have been. With the draft. Then meets with ownership, the draftee gets, how's it been today? Everything been great? Poo team was good. I did double, double from Timmy, King Timmy.

Came in here, the entire staff was cool. Who's the, is that the president? He just, he missed. It was a bad DAP. And ownership was like, you know what? Gone. Who's the, is that the president? He just, he missed. It was a bad dab. And ownership was like, you know what? Gone. Fired him.

Could be the case. We don't know. No. We don't, you probably do. That's why our dabs are clean. You know, that's why I keep the dabs clean, guys. Yeah. You need a good, you need a good, need a good connection there.

You know, it tells a whole story. Tell us how, that's setting the tone for everything, basically. How's this going to go? Not great. Okay. See you. You're out. New president and good luck to all parties. Okay. Let's talk about, uh, you know, turning over of ownership. Uh, some of these things have come out of nowhere. Go ahead, con man. Yeah, Sean's feels like the Lakers sale did come out of nowhere. And then obviously the Timberwolves were have been the other team that is sold in recent memory the Celtics of course that was kind of out of nowhere the complete sale. Are there other teams that are up for sale right now that people might not know?

Are we going to see more NBA teams getting sold because these numbers are getting astronomical when it comes to ownership of sports teams? So I don't see any NBA team selling for less than three, 3.25, 3.5, like somewhere in that three to 3.5 billion ever again. Like I think that's the bare minimum to buy an NBA team. And yeah, I mean, the numbers like the Lakers and other sales, it'll impact and it'll make the numbers continue to skyrocket. Like the Lakers selling for 10 billion, that's the most ever in the world for a professional sports franchise, not just in the United States. So you talk about football teams abroad, you talk about whatever league abroad, it's not

close. Yeah, of course, abroad. All of them. So it is beneficial, I'm sure, to the other owners. And we'll see. We'll see if there's going to be surprise ones. The one team that is up for sale right now that I can definitely stay, and I've reported it,

is the Portland Trail Blazers. And so they have been put up for sale, and they're going to start their sale process as this year unwinds. And what's that, 7? 6, 7? I mean mean in that market I was thinking five and a half plus but six seven sounds about right the Lakers just won for ten yeah you know the Trailblazers just got yank Hansen so

probably if they're estimated currently valued at three point seven that was so for a sale to take that was before the Lakers sold for ten billion So maybe I mean, let's just hedge five, but here's the one cool thing though about this this sale That's different than all these other sales. Hold on. Hold on Hold on final answer real quick five and a half million over under or five and a half billion over under I'm saying over I'm going I'm going I'm going under I'm going I'm going I'm going under I'm going under under Celtics were six. Oh way under Boston Celtics Lakers were just ten

Yeah, but that even that deal seems like kind of that number seems like hey biggest possible number because they sold what? 45 percent of it and they're saying 45 percent is 10 billion Like I feel like they sold it and then the team is valued at 10 billion. They say they 5.1 billion or whatever for the majority share there, 51% I think they've got. That's the actual title. They're just saying what it was valued at during the sale. Yeah, and that guy, he already owns like 20%. So he only bought like 37%. And then they, the bus. Agreed. Yeah, but the sale was at a billion dollar value Yeah, which is what the current valuation of the team is those valuations change if another team in the league goes for ten billion I think cops were cops. Yeah, I think that ups

I think that rate high tides raise all boats Personally now granted the six billion Boston one is fascinating because that's another pillar Franchise there poor people in Portland forget that the Trailblazers play there. Yeah, can somebody pick it up and move it? Yeah, can they buy it and move it? That's what I was going to ask. Sorry, Foxy. Well, that's always the conversation. No offense, Portland.

No offense. Timbers, we're big fans. Seattle needs a team again. They just do. And this goes together with what I was going to say is the reason why this ownership sale is different than any others is that Paul Allen, as the late Paul Allen, this will be essentially his estate is fund and they're going to, all the money they have, they're actually essentially donating the money.

So whatever the sale is for, they're actually donating it through his estate. And so that part of it makes me think that there's going to be some level of understanding like whoever's buying the team, like you're keeping that this team somewhere Paul Allen wants it to be, or Paul Allen would have wanted it to be. You like Seattle, right? If we're talking about Seattle, don't want to, you know, dive too much into all of it. But they said the internet is saying that they're the 24th highest valued team in the NBA currently is sitting at three and a half billion I'll be excited to see what it is professional sports franchise NBA franchise a lot of

people have a lot of money these yeah everything everything is like that okay speaking of skyrocketing the market for the players what's the market look like for an absolute superstar from the land of Greece go ahead Ty yeah Shams when free agency opens up here, what do you expect the timeline to be with Giannis and then beyond him? Who are some of like the marquee, most sought after people that should be, you know, kind of maybe moving around pretty early in free agency here? So draft week is over with now. Now we're heading into free agency time. So the Bucs have several

free agents. They have Brook Lopez, Bobby Portis, Kevin Porter Jr., Gary Trent Jr. So which of those players are they able to retain? What does the team look like after all of those decisions are made? What does Giannis Inditecumbo think about how the roster has shaped up? He's observing very closely, from my understanding, and so this is going to be a process not only at, it's not going to be a drafting, it's not going to be a free agency thing, and as the team comes together, as you view the rest of the chess pieces around the league, what does the landscape look like after free agency? Those are all things, if you're Johnston and Titicupo, you're going to be looking at as you evaluate what your best fit is in Milwaukee, where could that best fit be?

And so he's going to be monitoring very closely and Sunday is going to be an important day for the NBA, going into free agency. That's the day where a lot of players have player options. So LeBron James has a player option. James Harden has a player option. Bobby Portis with the Bucks has a player option that day. Julius Randall has a player option. James Harden has a player option. Bobby Portis with the Bucks has a player option that day. Julius Randall has a player option. Azried has a player option. So Sunday is a big day for player option. Again, these are massive, massive player options. Right? I mean, the thing about LeBron James, it's in the 50s.

Most craziest. Most craziest. Most craziest. It's about to happen. Get in that cave. Most crazy, uh, craziest cave. Uh, you, you never know with free agency. You never know. So, you know, I would just say, just, you know, be prepared, be prepared for free agency. That's it. The unexpected. Expect the unexpected. No, no, I'm not, I'm not going to go that far. I'm just going to say, just be prepared.

Sunday's a very big day for player options for you see gets going on Monday night and so their deals will start popping off most like I mean in the lead-up to it and then there's a there's a bunch of players with extensions too so like Oklahoma City's a team they have she goes Alexander Chet Holmgren Jalen Williams those three players where do their extensions go? That's going to have a big impact on their team building after winning a championship. So there's a lot of questions that will be answered in the next few weeks.

And as far as Jan's and Dukunpo's future, how the Bucs build out the team, that will have a direct correlation. Which of their fee agents can they bring back? That'll have a direct correlation on it. All right. We appreciate the hell out of you, Shums. You've been batting a thousand thus far with the NBA for us. And we've enjoyed covering the entire postseason. Thank you for keeping us on the right path, brother.

Appreciate you. Next week, are we live next week? Is basketball happening next week? I don't think so. I mean, unless Yanis gets, you know, goes somewhere else, that's really kind of the- I don't know. Most craziest ever, he so. Yeah, I mean unless the honest gets you know go somewhere else. That's really kind of the I don't know Most craziest ever he said yeah, yeah kind of a cry. She know we're gonna do yeah has to ask to be universe ball

universe ball If this if this goes it, thank you Shams if this goes in we'll see you next week. We'll see you next week. Oh Man you better make this No, John hold on So close see you three times next week four times All right now meant to be. See you Sean. Have a good week.

Bye. See you in a couple of months. Thank you Sean. Can't do the international balls. No, no, no. Cause this is NBA. Exactly. But, but.

Donis is Greek. Yeah. Pan Yang Hanson. Yep. There it was. Sounds weird. He should have stuck around no no looks like we can't have he was Greek yeah how do we not FIBA well you know he basically has

American citizenship at this point I think so isn't it Jerry and to the Kumpu now he's thinking about changing it to hear about Lou Messi oh what oh he's MLS thinks again no Lou Messi's taking on Lion what happened? Oh what? Oh, he's, MoS thinks again? No, Lou Messi's taking on Lionel Messi's old team. Oh, it's true. DSG Sunday in Atlanta at noon. Concafe will be boots on the ground. They will be little boots, but they will be boots.

Gumpy's heading down to Atlanta. Gumpy, Gumpy, the Super Duper Cup's really doing it. The round of 16 is going to be electric. Some of these matchups, you see Real Madrid there. They're playing Juventus. That's a huge game. PSG, Inter Miami, you talked about Bayern Munich possibly playing PSG in the second round.

And then if Dortmund wins and Real Madrid wins, the Bellingham brothers will face off in the next round as well. The Bellingham battle has been one that they've been talking about for a while now, haven't they? Yes indeed, cannot wait for that. Need that, that would feed family. This is a hundred million dollar Super Duper Cup for FIFA World Cup, right?

Yep, there has been 144 goals scored in 49 matches, that's three per game. Now that's soccer! That's what we're talking about! Telling you, it's been a good tournament some of the teams were shit but now that we're in the knockout round these are gonna be very good games. And then we also have the gold cup where the United States of America can still win this thing and maybe if Canada can get by Guatemala we have a meeting in a semifinal what should we be looking forward to? We should definitely beat

Costa Rica. It's gonna it's usually a tough match with Costa Rica but they are U.S. will win it will be close their second favorite like I said Mexico's plus 150 USA's plus 200 Canada's plus 500 to win it. Saudi Arabia's in the quarterfinals have you know. How? What do you mean how they won a game? I get that but. Honduras is that squad down there. You guys paying them all. All these countries are in the, you know, Western hemisphere. That's concave for brother. What do you think this is? Saudi's part of concave for us.

I still don't know how that one works. They kind of just put these teams in because they have a tournament. Yeah. It was a Saudi like pay. Hey, we want to be in the gold cup. I think they did want to be entered into it because concave for actually known as concave is like our area. It's like our region. Yeah. Okay. It's like Caribbean Qatar got in whenever they hosted a world cup. They came in and joined us because they

didn't have one. I don't believe so. I assume Saudi Arabia same thing. Didn't have a so we thought, Hey, you can come over concava. Yeah, you come over. Sure. Yeah. Absolutely. You guys can come. Why not? There's a special invite. They give us the poopy teams That's what we need Saudis a perennial World Cup squad. That's yeah every time they've had a team they've been in the World Cup. Yeah, so You tell me I don't know I would like to see a little bit more Trinidad and Tobago to be honest going TNT is a problem They are always right USA is is the real deal though. That's all happening this weekend

How about Friday and our Saturday night at LSU? Yeah, I mean you want to talk about good shit. Kate Anderson, okay? He's gonna be the number one pick in the MLB draft in game one of the college world series

Championship series against Coastal Carolina. What does he do? He throws nine shutout innings 10 K's three hits Complete game shutout unbelievable and hey, he also threw 130 pitches. That's good shit. That is good shit Yeah, I watched him for the first time in this particular game I think I caught him like seventh inning or something and there the buzz was palpable What do you get there? Cuz LSU had taken over a lot of that stadium Obviously Coastal Carolina was represented cuz the hell of the run that they were on but whenever LSU was, whenever he was coming out there was a buzz and I'm like who the hell is this guy? He started

learning about him. He's the number one overall pick. This guy's a real deal. And then you watch him pitch. He was only getting stronger as the pitches were going on. Locked in. Congrats LSU. Winning World Series. And the Coastal Carolina going on a hell of a run. Can't believe they kicked their coach out. That's not. That's shit at all let's talk about some car racing shall we yeah this one happened to just be on the open road in Missouri the heat causes the road to explode Toyota takes the bump hey hey driver keeps it rolling stays on the track you could shit your pants if this happened to you in the roadway if you're on an ATV okay if you're on an ATV and you get air and you don't see the ground anymore it is a freaky situation

I couldn't even imagine being in a Toyota Camry driving down road looking at maybe a Honda Maybe I do a trade here a corner left. Ha we're in the air bang I assume they pooped, but if they did that's good shit. Let me stay focused on that entire thing. I'm pretty proud of them Con man super duper World Cup Man City who vent is everybody loves this tournament corner kick City gets four one five goals already. Yeah, a lot of goals gotta love it. Oh, hello right in front of the net No goal. Let's clear it. Just kidding That's a video. Just kidding, Bardon, that's Savino for Man City baby. This is why we watch footy as they call it overseas. Great save by the goalie, but Savino says,

sorry about it, I'm going Bardon ski on your face bitch. Go back to Italy. That's a good goal and that's good shit. That's five one, it ended up five two. There's a good goal and that's good shit. That's 5-1. It ended up 5-2. There was a touchdown and an extra point where the goal was in Juventus Man City and they had that bar down ski. Let's go to the backyard, shall we? In the 11, a man named Malik Foster.

In extra time, in the first half Left footed laser my leak love freak with an absolute Snipe, that's good shit bad shit The indy-11 would not score another goal the Tampa Bay Routies would go on to win that game three to one But let's not take away from Malik's moment right before half there. What an absolute laser You know, it's funny Pat everyone wants to say that Dak Prescott you know he just he can't win games. He can't do anything like that. He can't win in the playoffs. He can't win when it matters. Well I find that funny. Let's take it to the golf course. Dak, Tad, and Will Greer against Good Good Golf match on the, boom! Dak Prescott sinks a 65-foot walk-off putt to beat the boys from Good Good.

Hey listen, he might not win in the playoffs every single year. Oh, it's a team sport. It's a team sport, but on the golf course, you put Dak in those situations, and all you're getting is good shit. That was a great putt, that's good shit. Yeah, it is. And also shout out to Good Good Golf. Great name. Yep.

You know, because who would have thought that Keegan would end up with an ear to ear, 146, nine iron, ear to ear. I've hit that shot a hundred thousand times. Just the way my body's built with the way I hit balls,

146 yards has always been a distance that I just, that my dad told me, my dad, PGA professional, when I was 10 years old, I came out of the womb with a golf club hitting a ball 146 yards. 18th hole Travelers Championship, need one, 146 yards. The golf gods were talking to Keegan Bradley, and that, it's good shit.

Hell yeah. In 1979, the first words spoken on ESPN weren't just an announcement. If you're a fan. They were a sports prophecy. What you'll see in the next minutes, hours, and days to follow. Glad you're with us tonight. May convince you, you've gone to sports heaven.

And right now, you're standing on the edge of tomorrow. This fall, the next era of ESPN begins. Sports Forever. Sports are happening. The NHL draft is this evening. Obviously there's some super duper soccer cups happening. This weekend baseball is happening. The NBA has some big decisions that have to be made by Sunday. And the NFL is always cooking.

Are they cooking in each other's kitchens a little bit too much? Uh oh! In each other's underwear? Uh huh. I don't think so. Are they sharing recipes? Is that what they're doing? There's some chatter on the internet about that. We were certainly looking at that over the weekend because it doesn't feel as if it's as loud

as you would think, especially with what was being talked about. But there are some uh, hmmm... committed journalists, I would say. Champions of the cause. That's what I think they are. I think they are the committed champions sports journalists.

And we've been watching, we understand, we all are seeing it. I respect the commitment, legitimately. Like, hey, we respect it, we appreciate it. It was interesting though, to hear that story just kind of come up out of nowhere obviously it happened back whenever Lamar was kind of a free agent and we heard about it and they but the NFL with the NFL like they all meet in a meeting there's a one per club meeting I think like there isn't a thought that they

probably do kind of have like how franchises of restaurants have like hey here's the correct here's the whole thing. And then you do have to wonder like, is that a form of kind of working against the employee? Like that conversation has been happening on the internet. Like collusion has been thrown out there a couple of times. That's a heavy word. That's a very, very heavy word.

But also it's like, forget what happens with this particular story that's kind of been bundling. You have to think to yourself, like I guess it kind of always, they have been though. I think that is why everybody's like, hmm. Ah, who cares? I don't know if everybody's like, ah, who cares? But it is like, it makes me view it a little differently

because whenever they are at the owners, they literally have owners meetings and they have like one per club meetings we know about. And there's like a lot of decisions that made. And whenever you're CBA, you're negotiating against all of them. And it's like, they all have, you always say like, well, they have 30 billionaires that have the money

to hire all the lawyers. So they are going to be in a much better spot than the NFLPA will be in. So it's always like just kind of understood that you're working against the entire, it's an interesting storyline that it developed. But once again, that's the NFL. The NFL will always have something cooking for us.

So it's going to be an incredible summer, especially if you two are going to look as cool as you guys look today. The Talks at the Table at Boston Connor in his leather jacket, that he has no idea where it's from, and the Yard Goats ball cap, big leecher t-shirt. Ty Schmidt, how you boys doing? Doing great.

I mean, I feel like a million bucks wearing this. I can only imagine how much cashola you feel like wearing that thing, but I feel like I can sleep a couple punches you know I'm getting I was talking to buy for Kate Bill earlier and he was telling me about all the other UFC coming this weekend as well which I'm very excited about and I might might throw hands with you know with some of those champions the cause you were talking about you talk about I forgot about the massive UFC

Huge making title fight tomorrow night 317. They've done a great job 317 Obviously, maybe should have had that Indianapolis would have been cool But you're talking about a vacant title online between a couple dogs coming up in weight taking on the OG Charles obviously hanging Elia coming on. That thing's mine now because Islum moves up in weight class and now we have a vacant title. Let's go ahead and fight for it. That's what we got tomorrow night. Big night in UFC. Is Bill near a microphone? Bill, for this, for tomorrow night, what should we be looking at here? Are these going to be explosive fights? Are we getting knockouts tomorrow? Am I watching guys wrestle tomorrow? What should I be expecting

whenever I turn this on, inevitably, like I do with every single UFC event on a Saturday night? So especially in this main event, it should be a good striking fest. Both these guys like to like cut the octagon in half and really go at the guy that they're facing. And Ilya, like he has a good chance

of being the face of the UFC. He's 16 and 0, he's jumping weight divisions, going straight for the champions. Like, Olivera did, he's two and 0, he's jumping weight divisions, going straight for the champions. Olivera did, he's two and two in his last fights. It's been a couple decisions, especially against Michael Chandler, was his last fight, last time you saw him. Legend.

Just walk in there and say punch me in the face. But he got choked out. Michael Chandler. He got choked out by Islam right before Islam made the jump up, so he's kind of aging out, but he's got the most finishes in UFC's all he's got the most finishes in UFC history he's got the most submissions in UFC history so it could be a great fight. Ilja Ouz? I don't believe so I think he's...Tropoya? I saw the tattoo at the top there maybe looks a little

Georgian maybe? Okay yeah that sounds right Atlanta? Is that Trapoya? He is Georgian. Trapoya. What is he Georgian? Yeah he's Go Dogs. Ilja from Trapoya? Sweet no he's not from the state of Georgia he's from the country of Georgia he is Go Dog. Anything else we should look at for the undercard bill any other fights that we should look at for the undercard Bill? Any other fights that we should maybe sprinkle a little thought on this one in a knockout? So the co-main, this might be the most dominant run we've ever seen, at least since like 2020, the current champion. He is 9-0 against the guys in the top 10 ranked fighters behind him. And this guy is like the fourth contender,

kind of just throwing him in there. So you're probably gonna go like a first or second round finish. Oh. He's the champion Pantoja? Yes, yes, yes, Pantoja. Okay, Pantoja is the champion right there. He looks good.

He looks like he has a little brawn breaker to him. Yeah, a little bit. With this little, down there at the bottom. We like him, you're saying. This one's gonna end early. Yeah, he's the longest running champion that they have right now. These guys actually fought each other way back. I don't know what year the Ultimate Fighter was, but I think it was before the Contender Series. So they have a history. They're gonna want to go after each other.

Carl France is a slippery. Yeah, but he's ranked 4. I don't know if he's ready for the challenge. We'll see. He dropped in a deep end with Payne Dojo. There's a chance you might just have to catch some hands you want the title shot got the title shot tomorrow UFC 317 Two title shots in line. We appreciate you bill Now and he used to host an MMA show on serious XM He's a college football national champion a Super Bowl champion a Ryder Cup winner AJ Hawk. Hey, AJ We leave anything out there Did we leave anything out for the UFC 317 card that maybe you wanted to bring a little

bit more light to? Because we know you are a skilled mixed martial artist. We know that you can take on two different people coming from two different directions. And then also, if there's two people coming from front, we have seen you. We call this the AJ Hawk. They're doing it at the West Virginia Football Locker. The double punch. Yeah, because this is just the original version of this thing come on people said that the next iteration was two punches

Pretty cool workout and also great defense and that's what that guy's saying. Yeah, AJ's beating the fuck out of two guys What do you think? 317 tomorrow, two titles, that's a big deal. That is a big deal. Yeah, two titles. You're right. I mean, Bill, Bill's setting up great. I mean, I see I don't follow with UFC as closely as I used to. I definitely was way more into it in the past.

But yeah, I mean, obviously we're gonna see some awesome fights. We know that. I don't suppose when Bill was trying to break down the under cards, that's when I got lost a little bit. I know there's some great fights set up on this card But I'm not very versed on all the guys fighting, you know, other than the main event Well, paintage is the champion. He's right there lower left and then you see Ilya to puria up there on the top left He's from Georgia Charles the country the country of Georgia. Yeah, he does train in Warner Robbins, Georgia though

Why does he feels more comfortable? Really? So I thought he's go down. I read that somewhere, but don't quote me on that. Okay Exactly UFC authority John Jones retired. Yeah weak. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's a bummer As about need new stars new stars need new celebrity boxing? You gonna start doing celebrity boxing? Easy, could, I assume. Him and Jake Paul would feed families, obviously. Like that would do. Oh, geez. Him and Logan, probably a better matchup

because Logan a little bit longer, I think, and taller. But Jake, full-time boxer. I don't know how that works with weight and everything like that. Yeah, I was gonna say, since he moved up to heavyweight, I wonder if- He's like 220, I think Jake said he's 170 or something like that.

Yeah. I don't know if that would be- He might kill somebody if he does celebrity boxing I don't know. His reach. Yeah, his reach would just like he could literally just palm head. Mm-hmm and just go ahead and Let me just yep. There we go. Little boy Let me go ahead. Little boy. Couple of these. Couple of these. You know people are always eating accidental elbows too in those You know you get in tight like you you accidentally eat one from John Jones. That's not great.

There will always be, and I think John Jones knows this, and it's potentially a reason why everything has kind of happened. If John Jones is fighting, people will watch. You know, that if my, I don't know if every generation will watch John Jones, but there are multiple generations of people that if they hear John Jones is fighting, they're gonna, okay, I will go watch that because we experienced the John Jones experience, you know?

And that's how it'll be forever, no matter what he was to do. So I wish him luck. I hope he finds real happiness too. I hope he does everything. And thank you for your commitment to our entertainment. Yeah, thank you for your commitment. You're getting a lot of beatings training to be a fighter obviously yeah I'd say you know that's

like every day you're getting like punched yeah just barring leading up to fight sparring dudes that are monsters too just to get you ready like you'd be crazy now to be clear you're getting paid a lot of money at that level whenever you're John Jones so I'm not just saying he just did it for entertainment but also see also yeah a lot of great nights watching John Jones beat the shit out of somebody I mean just out of me when you start thoughtically just did it for entertainment, but also see also. Lot of great nights watching John Jones beat the shit out of somebody. I mean, just methodically beating the shit out of people.

It was so athletic, just so athletic in there. Like, oh, this guy could have played any sport. He wanted to, he just decided to be. So calm, I'm always impressed how calm he was. Like we were talking about TST and soccer players, dudes that can hold onto the ball and not freak out when they have defenders coming at them, stuff like that. You watch John, like he never seemed like he was

out of control or panicked. He just like, all right, this is going exactly how I planned it seems like. Family of champions, congratulations to them. Let's talk about some news that happened over there in Ohio. We kind of alluded to it a couple of different times. Congratulations to the city of Cincinnati and the Bengals

getting a $470 million renovation to Paycore Stadium approved. Congratulations. Hamilton County and the Bengals have agreed to principal terms for a new lease that keeps the team in Cincinnati playing home games at Paycore Stadium through June 2036 with a 10 additional year option. This is a significant day for the Bengals and Hamilton County as we secure the team's future in Cincinnati. It remains an excellent venue yada yada yada okay good work go ahead tone so I looked into it 470 million in renovations Bengals will supply 120 million of that the other 350 million is gonna come from Hamilton County that'll be in taxes but there is no tax there is no tax increase though

like everyone's taxes are gonna say the same same. They're just reallotting, re-shuffling some tax money to go to a renovation for pay core as opposed to going somewhere else. You know, like, I'm not going to say it. What roads might as well. No. Potholes. I mean, I don't know where tax money goes. In Ohio.

I have no idea where tax money goes out here. We drive on the moon every day. Yes. Okay. And I thought I, in my head, I'm like potholes is something taxes do. They exist forever. So I don't know exactly where they all head to, but if they're just reshuffling some stuff, I'm sure that won't be met with any resistance. No, no, no. I'm sure there won't be any people that will be okay with that. Whatever the case, great venue, great environment. Renovation will obviously do it some good. I think every stadium getting renovated is good. When does that start?

Do you know anything about this, AJ? I don't know much about it. I know there, I just heard him fighting for the last couple of years, but 470 million, I'm guessing it doesn't go nearly as far as we think it does. What do you, a new Jumbotron and a couple of new seats? Like, what can you do with 470 mil?

I don't know um Miss Blackburn is a tough negotiator. Yeah true. Yeah with Trey Hendrickson now Jamar and Tee feels like she was able to get a deal done uh they were able to get a deal done Trey Hendrickson feels like she's uh you're gonna take this you're gonna like it she could do that with the Jumbotron as well. The good news is uh it did say any overages in cost anything over that 470 million the Bangles will pay. Okay, so let's make sure that's gonna be 469 million. Yeah, that is gonna end up being 469 million. We don't need to be that's bad business. Why do we want to do that? And Bangles fans fill that thing. I mean Bangles fans are gonna they'd fill up a

dump. Yeah, you know if it was a dump Bangles fans would go. That environment is a college atmosphere over there. Yeah, I feel like to your point right there with the fans, they might add like suites. You wonder if they add those field level suites or even kind of like what the Pacers did with Gamebridge where they put in like a whole nother floor on the lower bowl of more traffic. Yeah, everything is about traffic bathrooms in and out like toilet Yeah, old buddy Balmer Balmer saying toilets in his press conference Obviously a lot of people mocked him for it We celebrated it because whenever you go to an event waiting in line to go to the bathroom is the worst part

Not only are you incredibly uncomfortable? You're also missing a lot of the action and if anytime you hear loud noise, it's like, ah, and you're in pain. So that is a massive ordeal for a public outing, especially whenever people's home experiences have gotten so good. I mean, we've got Quad Box with YouTube TV. Obviously we have air conditioning,

we'll have to deal with people out there. Like people are cool with not going outside these days. So like whenever you're a venue, you're competing with a lot of shit these days, you know? Gotta have high speed internet for people, gotta have obviously convenience in and out. You gotta be able to, like, that's all like a part of the live experience

that everybody is gonna have to kinda make a little bit better to keep people coming, I think. Now granted, Bangalore fans will probably tell me we'd go to anything, and we saw that with the draft night where you guys went to the stadium and did a little run on the hundreds or whatever. Yeah, that's correct. Bought TVs.

That sold out, yeah. Yeah, we know the Bangalore fans are supportive, but we're saying to fill these stadiums, the NFL, I think going forward understands, I think everybody understands like, hey, we gotta make this like a good experience for people. It's a lot of money and staying home, we love it because we're getting TV deals,

but staying home is really good right now, especially to watch sports. And also like when we've been fortunate enough, like when you go to a couple of these stadiums that are new or like are brand new, it's like every NFL stadium needs to be like this. Cause like you go to like the Raiders stadium, and granted we weren't there for a football game,

it was WrestleMania, but like that place is gorgeous. It's unbelievable. And then you go to like the Raiders Stadium like and granted we weren't there for a football game it was WrestleMania but like that place is gorgeous it's unbelievable and then you go to some of these other stadiums who Need a facelift and it's like these guys aren't even playing in the same league here. Well, just like everything there's evolution You know the architects the designers stadiums like hey we can build this one for sound We got this for this we found out if we just like what Ryan Smith is doing right now with the the seats moving and then coming back so they can kind of handle the hockey rink as they have to move out for the Utah Mammoth. And then just overnight, if we got a jazz game, let's just go ahead and move that in here.

We're good. That's gonna cost us so much money to make that happen. But like that is what it is now. Like you got to create this shit. You got to make it worthwhile for people to go like Atlanta. Mercedes Benz though that place has every seat has like a good angle of the field. And then, of course, the the owner keeps all

the prices for everything. I mean, you can the food is good. The food is good. What's the company? Not Sodexo. We said the name of it like 1000 times when we were there. Good food. Yeah. Eze. Aramark?

No. No. No. No. I don't remember. But you talk about Atlanta, though. Then you can go over to the Hawks. What the Hawks did, the Hawks cleared out an entire section,

just made it like a standing room only, free food, free drink, kind of mill around so you don't feel obligated to sit in a tight spot. It's like, people are getting creative now. These stadiums are getting good. Excited to see what Cincinnati, Hamilton County, and the Bengals come up with over there for Paycore Stadium. Congrats to the Bengals. Get a lot of deals done. Anything with Trey? Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, the host of the weekly wrap up with the rap sheet and friends, us being the friends, he being rap sheet senior, NFL insider for NFL Network and NFL.comcom and host of the insiders.

Ladies and gentlemen, Ian Rapaport. What's up? What's going on? How's the rap sheet house? I know, uh, empty nesting all of a sudden for the summer. Um, we're okay. It's tough. Uh, today was the day. I would say, uh, 45 minutes ago, said goodbye, uh, for the last time for seven weeks We will be there for visiting day. That'll be nice, but Okay, so I for my head I thought it was five weeks and I thought it was absurd Yeah, then you just dropped in there two extra weeks on that seven weeks straight his boys Max and Jude

I saw Max this morning. was jacked I bet could not wait to get out of that house for seven weeks Jude I feel the same way whenever we learned of you doing this with your kids basically just shooing them out into the woods for seven weeks in the middle of summer I think we're all pretty shocked do you do you encounter more people on your side or on our side of the whole thing that it's a pretty wild Situation because I think I grew up in Pittsburgh. I don't think that is like a regional thing Yeah, northeast. Yeah, okay. It really is like a northeast. I mean

You're right like I would say for us like half of our friends are like That sounds great because they know how much the kids love it like it is there I mean you heard max today Pat like like it is Max is like heaven. Like he counts down the days from when he can be there. Uh, Jude loves it too. But for Max, that's like his like special place. And so people are like, that sounds amazing for kids.

Like, how do we do that? And then other people are like, yeah, I would never send them away for, for one day. Um, it is, it is, I have to say though, I'm a little sad. I know it's gonna be great for them I'm a little sad today. There were some tears at the bus. That was a challenge Oh, they take a bus you don't even drop them off you kick them into Greyhounds. They get the fuck Yeah, I mean it's it's nicer than a Greyhound. There's like, you know, nothing gets Greyhound of course But there's TV screens. They had some like Fritos and a sandwich You know they all the good stuff they bring so they can really twist happy when they how long can they call you?

Yeah, go ahead AJ. Sorry. Can do they get like one call over the seven weeks? How's it work? Can they contact? We get a call after ten days And then basically like every other week We get a call. So we also get a call on if it's your his birthday. So nice I get to talk to Max on his birthday. That's very nice in that camp allowing you to speak Give a code so they can give you a code if things aren't going great and they're like, hey You know the the clock strikes 12 at midnight dad They tell you hey come get me there's bad things. Yeah, like code word code red code red, you know

Platypus theoretically they could uh, they could write us in a letter. They all write letters max doesn't Councilor reading those letters before letting those out of there. No No, I think we're wondering about lunch has been canceled. Yeah. Due to lack of hustle. That's what I, I think we're all kind of thinking. Exactly. This amazing camp is not like that. Okay. What's the fun?

That camp was pretty cool too. Yeah, I watched that camp. Hilarious. Yeah. That camp was very hilarious. Seven weeks, we're out in the middle. I talked to Max, his son, his boy this morning. I did. And I'll tell you what, he was jacked.

I believe we actually have a video that has been sent over but audio We're heading to Fiji Alright see you boys They say Fiji, I think that's what they just call it they call it alligator Alcatraz or they call say Fiji that's what I think that's what they just call it. They call it alligator Alcatraz or they call it Fiji Yeah, hey man, hey man, okay, let's talk a little football shall we congrats the rap board family I know there's a big deal for all of you and We've experienced this alongside rap now for the four years. I think Max said he has done this. So we were there like the first year you did this.

And wow, we thought you were a horrendous father. I mean, you could feel it now. Now it's like, feels like the boys love it. And the life experience and living away from home, having to get over the homesick, meet new friends, have to take care of yourself, learning new skills. I don't think I'd be able to ever do it

because obviously kids play sports, I think, and that's kind of goes through summer every once in a while. I don't know how that kind of gets handled in this situation, but like, yeah, I get it now. I mean, they play a ton of sports at camp, but like there's a couple travel, like mostly for travel, baseball, or for a cross

that they can't do because they're away. And like, that kind of sucks, but they get a lot of sports. Yeah but they're still a hero. How old are they? What's that? How old are the boys? There are 10 and Judes 10, Max is almost 12. It's amazing as a 10 year old going to have to experience life. I assume it's quite a head start. Yeah definitely. Like I would go in soccer tournaments like I went to Europe a couple of times as a teenager. And like that was, I felt like a, I felt like a very cultured individual coming back.

You know, seeing how, seeing how like other people, and then I had teammates, obviously, they were from like New York City and like even more Italian somehow out of Jersey and all these other places. You know, it's like getting a chance to meet all these people. That's a good thing, I think, for life experiences experiences seven weeks away from your parents though is an insane. Yeah

Yeah, the the private school that I ended up transferring to I miss this because it happens freshman year But like with incoming classes and this is New England in New England Yeah incoming classes the first four weeks I guess the first two weeks because they go for a full month the freshman class goes up to this place bivouac and it's like a camp oh it's a campground like that and they spend the first a month in in this camp getting to know like your high school class do you think like it's a great idea by the way to bring everybody together it is it's like training camp whenever training camp somewhere else which we will dive into here in a little bit with you rap after we wrap up this conversation

Do you think New England has just been doing it since the beginning of time? It's just kind of one of those things I do yeah Actually, especially with New Hampshire in Maine in Vermont like that that is it's very very common to use There's lakes up there too, so like there's so many different spots you can put campgrounds around. It gets rowdy up there though. I've heard some stories about some kids up at camp. I assume Max and Jude are really, I think they probably enjoy a little bit of the freedom. Now if I had that freedom at that age, I would probably try to be working some hustle.

I don't know what the hustle would be at the camp, but I assume there is some sort of hustle. You figured it out. Yeah, there would be something. I bet they did. I hope Max and Jude are doing the same exact thing. Okay, let's talk a little bit about the NFL talking about hustle. $120 million will be paid by the Cincinnati Bengals. The other $350 million will be paid by Hamilton County for renovations to Paycore

Stadium. Do we have any other information on this? Like is this supposed to happen at this offseason by next football season? When is the renovation going to going to take place because anytime we see a stadium have to get worked on normally people aren't allowed to be in the stadium While it's getting worked on in stadium construction. We assume long time So how do these renovations kind of work and did we know this is gonna happen? Was there ever a chance Cincinnati Bengals were gonna leave Cincinnati? You know, I didn't personally think there was a chance they were going to leave. And I sort of lean on, you know, there's a couple of these other ones that are still like ongoing where it's like, there's some doubt like Cleveland's doing one, Chicago's doing one where it's sort of like, are they going to leave the city?

Are they not? And, you know, you can see like if you, Kansas City is another one, if you're some other place, literally any other place, you're, you're dying for, for a stadium, right? Because of how many people come in, because of what it sort of means for your area. Because you can build up all around with bars and restaurants and entertainment. I mean, you can do, you can do a ton of things. So it's like, there is competition from some of these other places.

And what they do is they offer money, right? I mean, they public money to say like we are going to lure your way and that was obviously That was going on here. I am happy just for me someone who I like stadiums to be in cities I like Cincinnati and where it is and I know for the fans like it's a it's a great spot I was happy this got done for the fans, it's a great spot. I was happy this got done. As far as the details, I'm not sure, but I don't believe it's going to affect anything football-wise. The only thing that really does affect football is when they are materially changing the stadium. I think this is going to be okay because I haven't heard that they're going to play in another place, but I would agree this is very, very good news for Cincinnati.

And then, you know, it's already been a place that people will want to play because they have Joe Burrow and they're gonna be very good. And I think this helps. How about Trey Hendrickson? What do we got going on there? You know, still nothing. I would say as you get closer to training camp,

you know, we'll see if we'll see if this ends up getting done. I remain optimistic that they're going to find the number, get it done, lock him in long term just because that's what that's what everybody wants. You know, I was at I was at tight end you a couple days ago in Nashville talking to some of the other no big deal. There's a bang goes down. No big deal. I didn't I didn't hang out with Taylor but I did hang out with some of the other people which you know miss that night which whatever went It's not like you want to see an answer. That's not really a rap sheet You would not miss that that seems like the only event you would go to

Correct down bad cuz how the how many people not just we didn't obviously I don't think anybody knew Taylor was gonna perform I know they said that conversation but everybody else was there, the amount of rap sheet. Oh yeah. Hey, you want some tequila? Talk a little bit. Who's this flow? There's a lot of that. It would have been, I tried to get back and forth

in one day so I wouldn't miss the kids cause they're leaving. Oh, seven weeks. You rooted your fastball? I'll tell you this. Good dad. The night before, there was like a little party in a bar Well, you know all the tight ends when Taylor was there and I heard a story about some like semi

You know like teenager comes up to her doesn't say anything Takes a selfie with her and then tries to walk away and she Grabbed it around the shoulders and a big bear hug and like took her own selfie with him. That's awesome. I mean, that's the kind of, she was just hanging out with everyone. And I'm like, definitely wouldn't have wanted to been there for nights. Yeah, she would have thought you were a little child. Come here, old guy.

Come here, buddy. We're in your prayers. Yeah, she was a heart. She was a safe one. She's definitely taller than, I mean, if she took the selfie, that would be the best thing to do. That was the oddest thing. There's a chance. I mean, if she took the selfie, that would be... That's odd of me.

There's a chance. I mean, she's very athletic. We thought about her potentially becoming a part of the Women's Olympics flag football team. Because, I mean, she's a tight end U. She's with Travis Kelsey, one of the greatest receivers, just receivers of all time. She's tall, athletic, see her move, dance. She has great memory, obviously. Hey, need you to run a little. Yeah. That's a great thought though. Stick, not. She's a football girl at this point.

She is. I mean, actually she's getting tight end university, playing in Nashville in front of a thousand people. Yeah. Hey, that's some G shit. Oh yeah. And then I think- That's good shit.

That is good shit. That is that good shit. That is that good shit. That is awesome. Okay, last thing about shit. Yeah, that is that good shit. That is that is awesome Okay, last thing about Cincinnati here before we move to new stuff the coolest looking guy in the room Whatever room he is in Connor has a question for you. Yeah. Welcome to the jungle rap I was gonna say anything but God, that's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. I appreciate that very much and please Call me sir, but with the Bengals, the other situation is

Shamar Stewart. That kind of came out of nowhere. Now it's become this whole entire thing. Is there any sort of progress when it comes to his contract? And is it still just being held up over that one small thing that the Bengals have never put in any contracts before and wanted to start doing this with Shamar. Yes. It is what, this is what it's coming down to. And I saw some comments from the agent Zach Hill where he was saying, well, if they want to take this, basically if they want this new language, they should offer us something. This is kind of one of the problems with these rookie deals.

There's not a lot to offer. There's not a lot to negotiate, right? I mean, this is the same problem that Roekland Smith ran into and that was over a different issue. That was over offset language. But the teams don't have a ton to give because the money's set. It's all guaranteed anyway. Signing bonuses that you can say like, all right, we'll pay you in September or December. It doesn't matter.

You're getting it all anyway. So there's just not a lot to negotiate from you know this should get worked out There is literally no reason that this shouldn't get worked out And you know from the Bangalore standpoint a lot of the teams around them use similar language I don't believe that this would actually affect any any guarantee. Oh, so this is normal wait. This is normal It's well It's not normal for the Bengals, but it's normal for teams for plenty of other teams more than half the teams Use a similar language, but the Bengals haven't so that's why you could sort of see both sides like okay

Well, why me in the banger for it? Why not now? My understanding was that it wasn't a lot of people my understanding was that it was brought out of nowhere That's like kind of how I was Kind of talking. I also I also how I was kind of talking about it. I also don't think it, again, easy for me to say, it's not my contract, but I don't believe this will affect very much at all. It's all guaranteed.

So I mean, this should get worked out a couple of days before camp. We've seen so many early contracts this year. So hold on, did the Bengals tell them, hey, we've never done this before, we're gonna do this? Or did they get access to the previous year's first round Cincinnati-Bangles contract? Yeah, so the union, you know, which advises agent,

NFOPA, which advises agents and sort of, not helps them, but like tells them what they need to know, you know, has obviously had conversation with the agent to be like, all right, well, this wasn't, this didn't exist last year for the Bengals, but now they're trying to put this in. They're trying to sort of, what was the word given to like, specify, clarify, you know, so I don't know. I mean, to me, it's it should get done.

More than half the teams do it though. And if they did it last year, then is the union telling the agent, hey, they're doing this when most some other teams don't. That's an interesting little dilemma there Because I was on schmoyer side completely when I heard i'm like just putting a new closet and you don't even allow to have it If over half the teams are doing it the bangles not doing it for the previous time makes sense first Yeah, yeah, what teams though like are all the teams that I feel like yeah, is it good teams or cheap teams? um, I was told a lot of the teams around them in the draft. So I, uh, you look at the, I mean, I, I don't know specifically, I don't want to say anything

wrong. Um, but I was told more than half the teams use this. Okay. Okay. That's a good piece of information. We need to have that be our thoughts going forward and hopefully they're able to get the job done. And Shamar, I think you're going to be great over there in Cincinnati.

Brand new stadium. That's right. I mean, players are pretty excited about him. Like he should be, he is, he should be good. Great talk. We loved everything about it. Go ahead, AJ. Yeah, Ian, I saw the NFL's suspended Justin Tucker

the first 10 weeks. I guess that doesn't mean the first 10 games, technically. What are the chances? I assume that he's already appealing or he already has appealed this, but is another team going to sign him up before that? I think he accepted's already appealing or he already has appealed this but is another team gonna sign him up before that? I think he accepted. Okay, so he has not appealed. Um now it's it's interesting and I was reading some comments from the lawyer of the of the

Accusing women today. So basically he has accepted The nfl's ruling the nfl's investigation the contents of it saying he wants to move on, but then also says that he's innocent and is, you know, basically didn't do what they alleged, which I know has sort of frustrated the lawyer of these accusers because basically like in their mind, like he did not take, did not take accountability for this. Um, but the NFL did their investigation, um, which this lawyer, uh, commended and basically stood by. And yeah, he's out the first 10 weeks.

The reason why it's not 10 games is because he's a free agent. And so, my guess is he'll remain a free agent for most of the first half of the season. And then it's gonna get really interesting because all this stuff with Justin Tucker, it's all real. The NFL has determined that he did it suspended 10 weeks. But then like you come early November, like he's one of the best kickers in history. He'll be available for someone if they want to deal with signing someone who went

through all this and did all this, which some teams won't, but some teams will. And he actually becomes a really interesting free agent. As you get into November and December. Like is someone going to sign him? And then like, if a team does sign him, is he once again determining like huge, huge gains? Once again, I would like to just reiterate the fact that like massage therapy is such a massive piece

of professional athletics, like such a massive piece of it. It has just become the norm for most professional athletes at some point to flush your muscles and flush your body. So the fact that that is kind of being, you know, I don't want to say treated as if it's not like a real, like you know, like some people view it and be, they're talking, it's terrible that this has happened. I don't think it's good that it's happened multiple times now with professional athletes. And I think like if you think about the entire state of where we are with medicine and recovery and everything like that It's like we get that can't be happening like that shit's discussed like let's come on the NFL's investigation What is that? Is that a third party that does the investigation reports back to the NFL? Is it the actual NFL?

How does that how do those things work? reports back to the NFL? Is it the actual NFL? How does that, how do those things work? Ten weeks is a lot of, that's a big suspension. That's a big suspension. A lot. I mean that, that is, that is an indication of what they found and how serious. And, and you know, just so we can put this into, uh, you know, a better, just like about how big of a suspension this is. Miles Garrett, $40 million contract. Let's say he's making $40 million a year, even though signing bonuses are just like about how big of a suspension this is. Miles Garrett 40 million dollar contract let's say he's making 40 million dollars a year even though signing bonuses are in there let's just say his salary is 40 million dollars. Yeah yeah. That's over half the season I'll get that's like a 20 million plus

fine. That's like a you know that's a huge this is a gigantic ten weeks is a long time that is a long time so the investigation had to have said something who does the yeah yeah who does the investigation? Um, so the NFL has investigators. The NFL has people that they, I don't want to say contract, but basically assign this case. And, you know, a lot of times, now this was, uh, civil. And, you know, the lawyer said they may end up sort of left the door open for a potential lawsuit. But as you know, with like Deshaun Watson, which is the only other similar case we've had for this, like that was a series of civil cases that were going on. And you know, if there is a legal matter, like if you know, like what's, what's a good

like, okay, Rashid Rice, right? His situation, the trouble he got into from a couple off seasons ago, that's still in the legal system. So the NFL will basically address that when the legal process is over. This wasn't like that. So the NFL, they do their own investigation, they do their own interviews, they come up with their own set of facts. And a lot of times it coincides with what the authorities come up with, but not always. And, you know, 10 games is a lot. I believe that Dishon got 11, is that right?

I'm trying to remember, I believe that's right. Yeah. I think that's right. I mean, that's, that is an indication of how very, very serious they took this. Okay, well, moving forward, can't have it. Jason, this moment forward, never gonna happen again. Can't happen again. Let's chit chat about some other free agents, shall moment forward, never gonna happen again. Can't happen again.

Let's chit chat about some other free agents, shall we? Go ahead, Con Man. Yeah, rap sheet. There's still a bunch of free agents out there. Stuff on Gilmore, Key and Allen, Amari Cooper. There are others as well. Are teams reaching out now?

Our conversations already started with these guys. I know some of the elder statesmen, they're gonna join August, maybe even late July. When do you know some of the you know elder statesmen. They're gonna join you know August maybe even late July When do you expect some of these signings and what teams are reaching out the most trying to add to what they have? Yeah, so I would say you mentioned a couple of them Gabe Davis. I would put in there Members taking a couple visits to the Saints and the Steelers He's free, but yeah Keenan Allen Amari Cooper I haven't heard a ton on

You know, and there's a couple others like, you know, Stefan Gilmore who I believe still wants to play The Darius Smith is another one You know, it's a combination of Russell Douglas is another one. It's a combination of you don't want to go through the spring and why would they sign until they have to, or they just like a little more money. If you're a free agent, the leverage comes right before training camp when you want a hole filled before camp, or two weeks in when you see your rookies and you're like, I thought this guy was going to contribute, but he's not. I now need a veteran corner or veteran receiver or whatever.

And there's a couple of teams that are still looking. If the Dolphins trade Jalen Ramsey, which I expect, they might sign a corner. Steelers are still looking for a playmaker, whether it's receiver or tight end. You know, there's a couple other teams. Ravens, remember signing, Jair Alexander, they were kind of one of those teams just looking for one little more piece. But that probably in like probably three weeks starts to heat up a little bit.

Where's Ramsey looking at right here? Who's reaching out for Ramsey right now? When would that happen? Is that the Steelers? Is that what was being said? Is it? you know I I don't see that happening I don't see Jalen Ramsey getting traded the Steelers now like you know there's no chance I know the actual lives. Um, I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if there was interest from the Steelers because they really have been Omar Khan has been very open minded about everyone available it seems, which I kind of love that. Let's talk about

Steelers. Can we can we elaborate on this? Yeah, because Jalen Ramsey, you're not 100% sure Omar car con in any other teams? I don't think, so let me just, I don't think Ramsey for the Steelers, the Rams are the ones that make the most sense to me. It's just a really difficult deal to do, given the money. So we'll see if they can figure it out. Can't spell Ramsey without Rams.

Holy shit. Yeah, that's what they were saying before. Literally nailed it. Need Miami to pick up some of the tab I think is probably what LA Rams are gonna say. That's right. I assume that's what McVeigh is gonna say over there And I assume they're gonna say it right. That's probably what's holding it up. Yeah Got it. Okay, let's go to the Steelers AP tone in a really cool hat from Taylor LeWan has a question for you Thank you, Pat. Yeah, and I've seen over the last week from the It is a cool hat, isn't it, Ian? It's it wouldn't be my style. Just being totally honest. Whoa

He's low. Whoa What's this guy's from? He's kind of I mean, there's no there's no shade It's just like I have a different style of cowboy hat. No shade. There's a lot of shade all the way around. It's not a cowboy hat That's the purpose. Bowler hat. What is it? A safari hat? It's a rock star hat, brother. That's what rock stars wear. A safari hat. I'm looking cool, man. The governor. Clearly you've never been in a safari. Or watch Zach Brown do anything. Yeah. I mean. Or see Dr. Al McCrary. The only country guy I like is your guy Parker. That's my only guy. Album guy album out last night at midnight okay download that now self-titled I can call him yes he can getting hot yeah that was actually he was he's publicly

attacked so that's not being able to sing that's right that was like the perfect thing for somebody to say about him because he's like actually oh really that is my shit I actually can't do that anyways back to the Pittsburgh show distracting from the story yeah and he hates so that's why he didn't stay for Taylor's act. I've been seeing over the last- New England, New England, New England. I've been seeing from the last week, I don't know where they're getting it,

but the local Pittsburgh aggregators are now reporting that they are hearing that TJ's gonna get more than 40 million, more than Miles Garrett. I believe I asked you or someone recently and that was not the case do you do you think that's change and where we sit with TJ um I have not heard that I if he gets more than miles I would say that is awesome for TJ like he's you know these are the guys you pay like he's great he's a good good guy he is a face of that franchise, and like, these are

the kinds of guys who should get paid all of the money and should retire as a member of the Steelers or whatever. I hope he gets it. These are tough deals to do, and I would say similar to Trey Hendrickson, because as you get a little older on these third contracts, you're still awesome, but you are getting older and so teams have to square that and kind of figure it out. You know, there's, there's different ways to structure it where teams can protect themselves and players can still get the money.

Um, I still believe it's going to work out. Um, but I hadn't, I hadn't heard that number and I hadn't heard that anything is imminent, um, and the Steelers, you know, they do take things right up to the start of the season before they just cut it off. So I think we got a ways to go on this one. Good news though, because the way the Steelers are currently sitting only paying a quarterback about 10 million bucks.

And then the goal hopefully from what it sounds like is Aaron passes the torch to Will Howard. Will Howard will be on a rookie deal, a fifth round rookie deal, which is much less for the next four years foreseeable future. So if you are to pay somebody now and including last year would be a good time to do it if you're the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yes.

That's a quarterback contract though. Yes. That he would be getting the quarterback contract. Not a good for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yes. Like about a 42 million bucks is a. It's a quarterback. That's hefty for sure.

Yeah. But like, no, there is no's a quarterback contract for sure yeah but like no there is no imminent big quarterback contract coming whether you know whether it is will howard next year or they have to or they watch will this year and they decide he's not the guy whatever they have to draft another rookie next year like there's not a huge quarterback contract on the books anywhere in the near future it feels like if we listen to what what What? What has been saying, JJ, he's talking about his own deals, and he's saying if you get these done earlier, you know, everybody's happy, too.

You're able to get a lower price, everybody's happy, everybody's... If you just continue, like, I think he was talking about the Trey Hendrickson situation where you're like, hey, we'll take care of you next offseason. We'll take care of you next offseason. At some point, the players are going to be like,

all right, you gotta, yeah. Even if they're the most committed player to the team. It's like, hey, everybody else around me is getting paid market value, except for me. I'm trying to be the good guy. You said you'd do it. And then inevitably you've delayed this to a point where now the market is what it is.

Like this is just kinda how it goes. And I'm not saying there's any heat between TJ and the Pittsburgh Steelers, or the Pittsburgh Steelers and TJ Watt, or Yenzer's and TJ Watt or anything like that, but it is like TJ seemingly he's got to a point where he's like I feel like I've been good by you guys and uh, I think that's very fair for TJ to do same with Trey Hendrix I agree rap sheet. I I agree and this is why like No one should be I know fans kind of don't love this

but like these guys are awesome and they should get rewarded like not everybody's awesome a majority of people are awesome though not these guys these guys are awesome yeah yeah you're right these sorry sorry you're sorry no no no you're right I mean not everyone deserves all the money but no one. But no one should be upset at these guys wanting money. It has not affected, I know it's been like a story of the off season. It hasn't affected the team in any negative way

because they haven't played. And both these guys have played awesome. So like they should get the money and I think they will. We've put TJ on the Pittsburgh Steelers schedule graphic because we all just kind of assume they're going to do that. Have not put Trey Hendrickson on Cincinnati Bay. No, no. Yeah. We assume you assume it's going to get done though.

You said you're optimistic. So I believe what you're saying, especially in this empty nest syndrome that you are currently battling with your boys leaving today for seven weeks. Let's stay in the defensive end quarterback hunting world. Go ahead, Foxy. Ian, what about Aiden Hutchinson?

Is he going to get extended this off season or the, are the lions going to wait and see how that leg is holding up? I'll answer the second part first. I do not get the sense that the Lions are nervous about Aiden's recovery or rehab or his leg. Like it seems like it's going great. It seems like it seems like they have a lot of confidence in it, and I think I think they should he looks good I Traditionally what the Lions have done is take care of their awesome players early and with huge salaries like they did it with Sewell They did it with

Brown Kirby Joseph. Right. Right. You go. You don't know shit. We'll do your job. We'll do your job, Ian.

Yeah, we'll do your job. We've seen you. Hey, we've seen you. Summer. Well, I understand. And the kids, the boys just left. Yeah. We saw you left there.

Is there a note board right there of all the notes to your left? No, my note boards over. Oh, yeah. Over there. I have like all my outstanding issues that like need to be solved that I have to remind myself to check on throughout the summer. Haven't heard Hutch's name much

in any of these conversations that we've had. It's on the board. No, yeah, I'm saying he's on your board. We haven't really even broached the subject of Hutchinson. We assume he's gonna be healthy. And then I think at one point we assumed he was gonna get paid, right? Wasn't that like just kind of the narrative? Yes, exactly. Exactly, so that's gonna happen healthy and then I think at one point we assumed he's gonna get paid right wasn't that just kind of the narrative yes

exactly exactly so that's gonna happen he's got two years left right I I think he's got he's got a year option they extended Sewell when he had two years as well okay so that is why people are saying precedent has been set this would be when they would reward somebody especially if they showed up in the way that they did he was Potentially gonna be a defensive MVP last year. Oh, yeah, he was outrageous He finished didn't he finished like top ten in pressure still hit there's some absurd stat like eight Whatever it was. Yeah

Yeah, that had to suck so bad for him. Hey, I he had figured out the NFL Yeah, I think he led the league in like percentage of defensive snaps at one point, too Yeah, he was defensive MVP like on track like hey, this was hometown guy Doing it for the hometown team exactly living up to the hype of everything that they've said and he was on the track It's like holy shit. This is the next one and then all of a sudden just gets taken from you Yeah, he was the first one to go and then basically the whole defense got injured after that. Oh, yeah I remember there was this oh god, you guys played the Colts and you had like two of your Starters still playing from the injury book exactly branch everybody. All right rap McNeil Barnes. Yeah the whole

Davis yeah Still number one seat. Yeah, you know it's seen too and then in the first playoff game What was it like the first series where Amir Robertson who is already replacing? Yeah, Carlton Davis had his arm bent and shattered against the commander Are we not talking enough about how the Detroit Lions are the team? Poised to make a Super Bowl run next year Kelvin Shepard now new DC friend of the program absolute dog now new DC friend of the program absolute dog Dan Campbell I've only seen a couple photos but I assume he's breaking change I mean Frank rag now retired that is huge huge yeah big Johnny Morton

new OC yeah well entire new coaching staff I mean like the whole whole coaching staff except for yeah well Calvin was on the linebacker so so he was there, he was a little familiar. Saw what happened to the Eagles though. What? Eagles went into the Super Bowl, lost their entire staff, and then it took them a couple of years to get back. And what did they do? And then they won the Super Bowl.

By how much? By, what was it, 30 points? So much, so many points. 25 something. I saw Saquon Barkley talking about it. He's been doing some media, doing some golf stuff. You still golfing even more now Jesus. Oh, yeah, Max and Jude Where are they? I don't know where the clubs I'm starting to play starting to play pretty well now to tell you have you heard about me? I'm getting back into the game

Are you yeah, we're gonna do a golf thing. We're investing money you You could certainly be a part of it. You can sort it. You'd have to fly out here to Indy though, is that okay? When? Right now? I'm going to Mexico tomorrow, so. Max and Jude, go to the woods! We're going to the beach! You can't talk to him for 10 days anyway. Unrelated! You guys are gonna be heartbroken not being able to talk to your kids. Might as well look at a beach and have a good time down in Mexico. Of course. All right, so in a few weeks we can put it on the docket that you'll come out to Indianapolis. All right, I'm doing a golf thing. We're doing a golf thing. A philanthropic golf thing. It's gonna be cool. It is. We've invested in this already pretty mightily. So we're kind of forcing ourselves to do this. Gonna need a golf course to cooperate.

I think we got one. I think so. Yeah. Seems positive. And if we do, we're gonna be golfing. And I'm gonna need you. I'm gonna need your help. We're gonna be a team.

I got you. We're not gonna be playing against each other. And I need you to be positive. And I need you to be good. Yeah. And boozed up. I can definitely be positive. And boozed up. and you can smoke some vitamins if you want to whatever you need to get that swing properly lubricated you're gonna be playing some really good

golfers I think yeah like you and me will be taking on me and some like you know yeah as long as I'm getting strokes will be okay no okay. No, that's not how it works. Yeah. You're not. And your name will be up there for how bad it'll be your name, not mine. It'll be your name on the leaderboard, not mine. So look forward to that. We're figuring it out as we speak, but we will look forward to your visit to Indianapolis. You're the man, ladies and gentlemen, Ian Rapoport. Yeah. Yeah. For what? Seven week vacation you're about to take? I mean, I get it. The kids love it.

Yada, yada, yada. Sending your kids away for almost two months in the middle of the summer is fucking insane. It also- Don't you do a lot of parenting during summer? Yeah. Cause they're not at school. Now, hold on.

You're not even gonna know anything. They're not gonna recognize these kids. They're gonna change so much over these next seven weeks. Max is gonna come back smoking cigs. He's gonna have road lump. Ours are young. Ours are young. Let's not speak to,

let's wait seven years and think. I was gonna say. So it's like, what is this camp that we speak of? And is there a 10 week option? I think we, Sounds awesome. We have talked to him before about the amount of lengths. I think there is like a four week option,

a five week option, and a seven week option. Yeah, the jumbo package. Yeah. I'll take the bundle of days. Yeah. All of the days, you guys sports through the summer still or no, I don't know.

Yeah, I mean, yeah, there's sports every day. So yeah, we couldn't go anywhere. Yeah, I was thinking back to my childhood. It was like, I don't think I could have just disappeared for seven weeks. Yeah, well, I saw that well I saw the Baltimore last weekend yeah we're since now yeah there's things every weekend this is this is lacrosse across yeah a lot of across yeah lacrosse a you basketball baseball too

right baseball summer yeah in this like what's that lead called that goes through the summer district oh we played a legion we were just talking about Legion Legion yeah and then like in it'll just it's just like a you and a lot like in the Midwest. I provided something to do every once in a while on a summer night. I appreciate you boys doing that. Boys got a Legion game. All right, let's go for it. Spend eight hours watching these guys play some baseball. Like 80 games. Yeah, it was it was something to do which I appreciated. But saw the haircut on Max. I don't think we got to worry about sports there. What? You don't know? I know I don't think we got to worry about sports there

You don't know I know I don't but I know I know that haircut stinks Yeah, but I think that generation probably has that I think Jude has the haircut as well. I think everybody has that haircut Yeah, I bet it's in Yeah, I bet it it sucks. What you tell them to grow your hair. Is that what you're gonna say? I've been telling everybody that'll listen to grow their hair out How do you feel about this leather jacket AJ Hawk? I mean You have me intrigued on what is on the back of that thing.

This is what is what I've been waiting for hot-ass air Just blowing through that was like this is it this is what we need need to keep doing that need to be fit You need to have a great weekend. Thank you all so much for allowing us to do this for a living Have the greatest weekend of your life. We'll see you on Monday. Goodbye Okay, that was almost as good as Travis Pastrana yesterday with 30 concussions nailing the heart out. Yeah Yeah, by the way 30 on. That was 150 at a zero. I cut him off because I

was so impressed just with the number 30 before he said, I think because he said documented on camera out for a few seconds. 30. Yeah. They counted. And then I just crashed a car 30 seconds ago. Yeah. Before I came on here, I was upside down in a vehicle, he said. I had to flip that back over in the mud and then come over here and do this interview. Could have got a concussion then. I mean, we have no idea if he's fresh,

if he was still in a concussion. Travis Pastrana football, that was unbelievable. Toys the Goat. He is the goat. X Games start tonight? Yeah, till Sunday. 27, 28, 29. If Sal Masekela is on the call,

which you said he is, right, Tone? Yes. We'll be worried. He's like one of the smoothies. He's like, he's very smooth. Just like a very smooth host. Able to move here and there. I'm happy he's back.

Yeah, I'll be awesome. Yeah, I think so. I'll watch the X Games. No doubt. Hopefully younger kids know Sal. You think the younger generation knows of Sal? No, but they're going to learn today. Yeah, that's what I think.

I think it doesn't matter to Sal's talent. Like I think you don't have, I don't think you have to know Sal. I think you can learn of Sal to Ty Schmidt's point. I think like, it'll be a whole fuck. This guy should host everything. He is the X Games. I think so.

Like the competitors obviously, but like the first thing I think of when I think of the X Games is Sal Mascalo. He's the host. Yeah. You are at of the X Games is Sal Masekela. He's the host Yeah, you are at Sal's X Games exactly winter. What did uh, and it's not I called him something It's trying to call him by like his full first name. So like we're sure okay Yeah, I think that's his I follow him on Instagram. I think it is Salema Masekela. Mm-hmm. Okay, that's even cooler I think yeah, definitely. Yeah, Sal Masekela is cool. Yeah

Salema Masekela also very cool could have been good for the X Games back in the day, but uh, we We put over Sal. I forget maybe two years ago. Maybe a year ago, and then he followed me on Instagram And I'm full-blown adult at this point. I was like, holy shit Yes, I remember I told everybody. I told everyone, I was like, yo, holy shit. I do. Sal Mascayla just fucking followed. I think you like stop the show, breaking news.

There's a clip I'm looking at right here from December 2nd. Said, ladies and gentlemen, Sal Mascayla is texting me. Yeah, okay. Yeah, so yeah, Sal, we are fans, bro. Yeah, I've arrived. I've arrived. Need you Monday. Sal texted you.

Mountain Dews baby. Yeah all time. What Junior Juice? Drinking Mountain Dews baby. Is Junior still moving Mountain Dews I assume? Yeah.

And I'm calling Dale Junior Juice for nothing. Hey what's going on in the skies down there in the South tone? AJ have you heard this? I know you've been wrapped up in a lot of stuff up there in Ohio. Heard you guys know what happened. I don't know if it was Bama or Georgia. Was it? There was it was Georgia one day and then it was Bama the day before that. Both Bama and Georgia roll tide go dogs. I just hope it's not a precursor event. Uh, there's been meteorites The last two days that have landed in those two states. I just hope landed or just hit the sky you saw it I didn't see it hit the ground. Well, no, no, it disappeared behind the trees, but it definitely landed somewhere

It wasn't floating around. Yeah, I don't love what's happening there, especially because I saw a post last night Ben is coming. Yep. Oh, yeah Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu!

Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! Banu! I don't like the Benu's just out there fucking lurking saying I'm coming bitch. I don't like that. I don't like that at all and I Would like to propose a plan for them 2182. I might not be alive Might be though Ever know What do you laugh at AJ? What do you would you not like? I might not be alive either, but I do plan on being being alive Okay, perfect. So we're all on the same page

on-site Okay, 2182 we need to remember this maybe when we do one of those things where you put in a bottle and then bury it And then tell somebody a time thing time capsule time capsule We have the idea because we don't know how it's gonna be at 2182 Soon as that thing gets in because if we know it's coming in that year already We should know where it's going to be coming in at, right? Everybody needs to pull their guns out and shoot that thing as soon as it gets close. And that thing turns into dust.

That is just, that's how it has, everybody needs to be on the same page. Everybody on earth with a gun. Okay. I know it might be difficult, but everybody needs to be on the same page. Everybody needs to know where to aim and we only need half the people to hit it. Okay? Boom. Turn that thing to dust. We win. Space. Humans fucking win.

What's that? We need RPGs. We need new weapons as well. We need to develop these as we go. I mean a bunker buster going that way would be good. That would be the best option. If we could send a 30,000 pounder straight at it. Outer atmosphere. Because we want that thing to dissipate In the cloud right now send a bunker buster at it now wherever it is

Yeah, can we not just put a little cuz there's no grab take a while So we just need pull a little fan on the back of one of those right? Yep with tracker Like a whaler just had that thing go around Fine better. Oh, Bennu. How can they pinpoint the day? September 24th. Science. Don't ask questions.

That's how good they are. It's science, man. Read an astronomy book for once. Yeah, I'm a Taurus dude. You have no fucking idea. Mass times acceleration, ever heard of it? Nope. Oh, really?

It equals velocity, bitch. Yeah. Oh, I couldn't know. Hey, what is equal brother? MC squared we all know exactly what that means too. Okay. Yeah, we do I do I do means this balls going in bitch. This is for Yeah Yeah, it does mean that you don't even know what the gravity is. Yeah. Do you know what gravity is number? I? Don't but I do always wonder too. Like are there any ships?

I think of nine point eight meters per second squared bitch. Yeah, how does this cruise ship? I know the displacement all that stuff, but still what you say, how does a cruise ship float? How does a plane fly? I'm watering in air as shlegos said why boobs good like that's something shlegos always say when he asked these kind of So you guys I saw you guys were getting into the bottom of a lot of stuff over there. That linebacker group. You guys really came in there. Splitting the atom. Yeah. Oh boy. That's great. Why was he in there, H? Why was he in there? Hey, real quick. That's the worst question I had. Hey, that is a lot, I mean, that's a disturbing thing. Yeah. I don't know how that has not become, I think it will as we continue to go forward. Hard not to think about. Bobby Carpenter had a video, the general, sorry. A video of his boy and maybe 40 other kids

doing a sprint on a field. Do you see this? Yeah. I thought to myself, that looks like it's 2001 there. That looks like it is, is that that neighborhood that used to, that that neighborhood that used to that field where everybody used to go you know that was a camp actually it was a camp actually Luke Fickle, Rabe's and another guy Ryan Miller all they started

their foundation like 25 years ago it was a camp for that okay a lot of people at this camp look like it was in a neighborhood a lot of kids playing it does when I was watching this I was like this is awesome like this is what it used to be and also the General's boy has the hair there he will pull away in this particular race yeah that's a carpenter that's a win oh yeah then he races somebody who's like four years older than him in the next race and he almost gets him like we're talking it was a good race I was cap yeah I was watching the boy I was like it's just I assume this guy that's his youngest yeah his youngest Caleb he's a stud he's gonna be a guy it

feels like oh Oh yeah. Shirtless. Ooh. Yeah, he's covered. I think he might've got him. No, no, it's near, near, near. Yeah, it's like R3 at the end, as opposed to, I think you saw R7, or R6.

You're right. Close. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, down there. Great shorts. Caleb's older, might've been the same age, whatever the case, flying. Yeah. Yeah. They got the guys. I love them hanging out. Like, I like that. I like that. In the neighborhood that I moved into, found another neighborhood. Did you see that? What I found? I found another. That was close to your house somehow. Another neighborhood. Yeah. Up and out. Just go around. Go see it. It was really cool. It's kind of like 15 miles away or something like that. Yeah, it was pretty cool. 20. It was a good run. Yeah, like a minute.

I was getting after it. You could feel it in the hammies a little bit. You started feeling the hammies a little bit. But I was riding around the neighborhood, first time really getting out and then the neighborhood. Man, people out in the front yards. Oh yeah. We had cookouts happening.

Yep. Yeah, we had basketball happening in the street. Like it was like three on three on the street. I was like, I saw four bikes lined up outside of somebody's house. I was like that is I mean wait till wait till mitt moves in up there cuz he's moving in near you right now He's not he's not moving in my neighborhood. Oh, now he's moving into Nobody in here Mids moon back home. He's going home. Okay, that's good

Every once in a while kids gotta go. You know, there's another place you can move to. Yeah, but it's going home. The kid has to go home. Every once in a while. Kids gotta go home. You know, there's another place you can move to. Yeah, but it's not home. It's not home, dude. Yeah, fucking socks. Oh. You know, I got cold from over here. You made one today.

No, you just made one. Yeah. For the international. Yeah, but I'm saying it's been a, it's been a little bit. What's chat saying Zito? Did you hear me right there? Which part? Alright, we move on. We had time there. Zito wasn't able to read anything.

I wanted to talk to the chat, didn't I? We talked about it in the think tank. We're like, you know what? Today's the day. We check in with the chat. I think that's a good idea. I think we turned it off today, didn't today. No, it was the complete opposite. Today we said we embrace checking in with the chat. What's up chat? You did it again. Do you want to? What's up chat? What's up chat? Tone didn't want to do this. That was fake. What you just saw from that guy was fake. AJ didn't know anything about any of this, but I think he's always excited to chat with the chat yeah yeah you know what's check it all right we're

done we try we try and everybody have the greatest weekend of your life what's the golf tournament this weekend this is the rocket classic up there in Detroit yeah I think it's gonna be difficult I think it's gonna be difficult five under supposed to be the cut line yeah yeah it was this morning yep yeah that is Yep. Yeah, that is you got to play some really good golf. The leaders are 14 right now. Keegs is at four under yesterday. He didn't start today yet. So is that par three course up there? What are we playing? It's the Detroit country club. I know it's old, which means it's very easy. I mean, we cannot be having a 30 under winner here. It's Friday. I know that's where we're looking at. It might be 38. Somebody went 11 under today so you know very gettable guy. One dude on a putt. Yeah what is this? Is

this a part is this a TGL event? I don't know anything about it I'll be honest. There was a 20 year old that hit it. 50 yard iron yesterday. I did see that. Yeah what a monster. What a beast. Speaking of beasts you guys see big thump? Big announcement at a Big Dumper. He will be participating in the home run derby. Yeah! The MLB home run leader, Cal Raleigh, also known as Big Dumper or Big Thumper, depending upon who you wanna make happy

and who you wanna piss off. Allegedly Mom, not the biggest fan of Big Dumper. Until we find out what Cal would like to be called, we don't, we'll say both. With that being said, Cal Raleigh will be joining a program on Monday. Hell yeah. What?

Yeah, we got Big Thump on the show. Hell yeah, Thump. Big Thump catcher, obviously leading the MLB in homers. He's a beast. He bombs balls. Good that he's in the home run derby because normally we don't get the big thumpers right yeah I mean I don't know people have kind of started that where they say that guys who go into the home run derby it fucks up their swing and then they start the

second half of the season with a huge slump but I don't know if that's necessarily true I mean he is hotter than anyone else in the majors right now so it makes sense like They need to do this. The home run derby used to be incredible every single year because in the steroid era, guys like McGuire and Sosa, they did it all the time and now it's kind of like these guys don't necessarily want to do it anymore. I don't know how much there's to gain from doing it. The real big stars, we had Shohei, he it you know fairly recently but so far him and Ronald Acuna jr. like those are two very

good participants yeah I was gonna say Ronald Acuna jr. is the other one who's already accepted the offer how about Vlad? doesn't he bomb balls? Vlad is playing like absolute dog shite this year. He got plunked yesterday too. He got paid a ton of money. He got polar bear? Yeah I mean he got plunked in the hand His hand is in trouble. Yeah, polar bear? Yeah, I mean- He got plunked in the hand you said? That's what he does. Yeah, there was a bit of a dust up

between the guards and the Jays. Vlad, he got his hand plunked. So he might have a broken hand. Yeah, he's out right now. I haven't heard anything this morning. Okay, we'll keep an eye on that. He's a big swinger. You're saying he's playing like shit right now.

Okay, and then let's go to the polar bear. Polar bear, that is his event. He lives for the home run derby So if if the invitation is extended, I would assume that he will accept Bryce Harper gonna do it again Where is where is it located Atlanta? Don't we think don't we think? They should have burned some sage positive vibes into the weekend They should have people pitching. I liked this, Bryce Hartburner's dad winning the home run Derby was awesome.

That was really cool moment. I remember five, six, seven. In Washington. Yeah, 10 years ago, however long that was ago. That was a cool moment. But the amount of anxiety I felt for his dad throwing deep, like the last, the final thing. And it's like, that's the only downfall

of the home run derby to me, is my anxiety for the fucking pitchers. Because it's like, hey, congratulations, you were just dropped into the middle of the biggest event of the year. What do you do normally? Oh, I'm a junior high baseball coach. I was actually his first ever baseball coach.

It's like, well, fucking good luck. And let's make sure we fucking pump some in there now. We need good pitches, because that's a massive part of it all like the pitching is the only part of it These guys, you know getting feet getting fed 50 mile an hour fastballs like they can all hit homers on those. They have like a Yes, like a sentimental five balls or something and then have like it's not a bet That's not a bad idea. I have them be like two homers Yeah, like your dad throws it and then boom you have two homers. Take their time out that they get

switch out because I've always said that I was like I don't know why these guys don't use the guy who's throwing them BP all year. And have that have them out there have them like man them. Some of them do right? Don't some of them use their coaches? Yes. And that's quite a thing. Use a metal bat. If you do a certain amount you get a metal bat for like 10 swings. The kids will die the out out feel They can't because that Put them bubbles also people would hate this but the pitching machines in the MLB are so good now They just roll one of those. Oh, yeah, we've seen those so then we know everybody's getting the same shit I still think you can get like the sentimental pitches like five to ten pitches whatever it is, but it's at the end

It's almost like you are setting somebody up who is not a famous person to be in a worst-case scenario situation. I assume it's happened I'm happy I'm not remembering it. Gotta get tired. Imagine a high school coach gotta get tired. You might throw over a hundred pitches for sure. And they have to be gassed. Like you and they got to be in the right location like hey want it high inside. That's what it turns into in those final rounds. And then we're watching the pitches are like come on! We can all see where the fuck he needs this at. And then boom, like, it is like a whole moment. Well, once they changed it to timed rounds instead of guys getting outs,

cause like you used to be able to take pitches and it didn't, it didn't kill you. Now, if you've got a pitcher who can't find where you want it, like you chew up 20 seconds and you don't, you don't swing. Okay. So let's do sentimental five pictures Have that at the end bonus balls Yeah, like the golden balls all the time and those are worth to whoever it is Can't be somebody that is a professional pitcher, you know, and that's in the first round I think and then as you move forward, it's just yeah, I think it's just machine. Yeah, it's just machine and I think also

Good. No, you I was just gonna say if it is true like with the laces and and all that kind of stuff Like they need to go back to the juice balls for the home run. Yeah, definitely cork them Yeah, I'd be shocked if they don't I mean, I don't know if we'll do a metal bats But we should be fucking corking. Yeah, for sure. Yes, definitely. I never understood that Like I like to see the ball fly personally as a punter and as a kicker. So in practice, I want the balls beat the fuck up. Like I want these balls beat up. How come?

Well, I would like to see this fucker go 75 yards. Like that's, that's what I would like to see. And then like Matt Stover was on our team. He was the kicker for the Ravens. He was a vastly different operating style of kicker than me. But he was obviously a legend. Very, very good. You're talking about one of the greatest of all time but he was just like so polar opposite of how I operated he wanted like the worst ball I want the

worst conditions in practice I want the worst ball so whenever I get in the game I know it'll be easier than what it was in practice and I'm like you're mentally tougher than I am brother because if I see a couple not turn over on Friday I'm fucking going into Sunday going am I still am I still gonna be able to hit this thing? So I I would assume whenever I think it was Sammy. Yeah in BP He got it caught with cork and they're like he just does that for BP Everybody's like bullshit bullshit that has to be happening And I think I would personally in BP would be like I want to see these fuck

I want the most beat up balls Most juice balls possible and I want to put these things out of the fucking yard before this game. A lot of guys used to do that. His thing though, was that one of the corked bats that he was using for BP got into his rotation for the actual game broke shattered the bat in one of his at bats and they found that it was cork. So it was like, oh, the son of a bitch is cheating. Oh, that big PR spin was knows is BP back You see in Sammy lately I Did he looks good we talked about something I agree I can't there's something that looks different about my just can't he is older

Not as big as he was or what he's bought he lost he lost Black again, he was white there for like 10 years I think everybody's kind of confused. That might have been an edited photo though. All of them. Yeah, all of them. All of them might have been. We don't know. We don't know. I did see him. They look happy. Yeah, he did. Big smile. I think there was a wave. I think that was the first time he'd been back to Wrigley since he played for the Cubs. I think I even saw. Yep. Yep. He didn't go out as much. He wasn't seeing the sun, so he wasn't getting tan. Okay.

All right. We will go ahead and go into a great weekend off of that. That's Chicago native Zito there. Thank you, Zito. Welcome back, Sammy. It was good to see him back. It was. I haven't seen him.

You know, a lot of pros have a little bit of a tiff with the teams that they played with for a long time, you know, because it has to end at some point and the team still exists Sometimes players, you know feel a little bit miss Treated at the end everything I fucking done for you a lot of that. So anytime those The hurdles get over and it's like back. It's like man What a good thing you guys can look back on being great for baseball in that particular case there's been many other occasions where people reunite with the team that they're at like it's good news i love sports what an awesome era for baseball that was

so many steroids right that's just in my mind that's all i think of and watching maguire dig into the plate with his like veins coming through his legs pants like in his quads Like he was so big vascularity Creatine yeah that just yeah in his powerful stance if I remember McGuire had Knees bent a little bit. He looks so big so big in there. Yeah, those were fun times and in my head I don't know if it's fair or not. I just say It was the juice it was they're all juice. Yeah, they're all just whatever but it was just creating right? That just say it was the juice. It was they're all juice. Yeah. They're all just whatever.

But it was just creating, right? That's all it was. Yeah. Yeah. Andro. No, I thought it was creating. I still, I always remember McGuire doing an interview after a game once and he just has a massive bottle

of pills sitting in his locker, just right behind him. Fish oils, you know, cause your joints. Yeah. No one, no one even scoffed at it. Right AJ, it's fish oils. Those are, those are pills. You got vitamins. Had to be, yeah. Sage, a lot no one even scoffed at it right AJ. It's fish oils. Those are those are pills Vitamins sage a lot of things can be in there. I read Jose Canseco wrote two books I believe I know I read the first I don't know if I read a set but he yeah, he talked about that whole era Yeah, they said Jose can say goes you snitching because he's finished

Was a great bar I was like in San Diego box that one boy, right? Yeah, I did You think he could still bop one? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Forever. They should have Barry, Ken, Mark. I saw Rafi Palmeiro putting balls out the other day on the internet. So here's another idea. Home run derby contestants get to pick one legend. Oh, yeah. To have two pitches in the home run derby. Each one counts for three home runs. If the legend was to hit a home run, that would be amazing. Great idea. So I'm talking about. So it has to be like from their team. So like Aaron Judge used like Babe Ruth. No, I don't know if Babe Ruth would be alive. Fucking Jason Giambi. So like for instance, who's the Pirates guy? Good hitter Cruz. Well, well, he's out now. Actually, their best coach, their best hitter is Kutch. Okay, so Kutch, let's say Kutch does the her on Derby. He has Jason Kendall come in. Go obviously. Maybe they

set up like targets. So like if Jason Kendall just wants to squirt one the other way for a single, like he's not You know cuz that was kind of his game. He wasn't really a big bopper. Yeah, but now if you want Yeah, you're right. You're probably bringing Brian Brown Giles or Barry Barry was fired. Yeah, of course I think about that other guys Bobby Bonilla time Jason Bay isn't he a former pirate? What's that? Rocker is it? No ranger, but actually he he played for the Braves for a long time so rumor has it He's gonna be very involved in all the facilities there Yeah, I thought they're trying to reintegrate it back into the league. I thought too. Yeah, you know that's wild

What a time to be alive. It's better than 2182 Yeah, you're right with fucking Bennu on a man. That's all they're gonna talk about I would like to tell the people in 2180 and 2175 and shit why 2k I remember this was it this was it this was it It's over all these computers were worried about tonight's tonight. They can't handle three zeros Yeah, these computers are so smart so powerful They will glitch and fucking kill everything with three zeros in the year. We don't know what it's gonna do We're gonna party like it's 1999 because the world's ending in

2000 2181 fucking letter writers nothing you can do if Bennu's coming through Just fucking live speaking of party like 99. Do you hear it Will Smith? Yeah another banger Oh, yeah Well this this one got teased I think a week ago and then they released the entire Yeah, who's he in the booth in the booth with the Jesus Christ problem. Is that not dr. Dre? I don't think it's the doc. I don't think it was jazzy Jeff Even though he talks about starting in Jeff's basement. Cool story. I appreciate that. I like the wheels just full speed starting in Jeff's basement. Cool story, I appreciate that.

I do appreciate Will Smith. Fresh Prince of Bel Air, big part of my childhood. Yeah. Independence Day. Tons of movies.

Inside the NBA pregame for playoffs, we got the number one seed in the East Cavaliers taking on the Indiana Pacers TNT we're watching it and all of a sudden goes right in the movie clip fucking Will Smith iRobots on what did I change the channel no it's not on TNT iRobots on TNT instead and you got to go true TV which has quite a depth of options. Have you seen TruTV much?

Very diverse programming. There it is. Very diverse. They have a diverse portfolio of stuff. Saw a guy yesterday, had eye shadow around both eyes really heavy. He was shirtless, pudgy. He had like jumper cables, one attached to each nipple. Nipple's a little bit elongated,

so it seems like he's been doing this one a long time. And then he put a hot dog in between the two and his nipples with the jumper cables cooked the hot dog. That's right. That was on the, that was, that was 9 15. What was the show called? 9 15 AM lower left corner is what it's called. Cause on our TVs, lower left corner is true TV.

It's called comedians talk about videos. We saw Shinagami's first fight, I think pop up on there. Yep. A couple other brawls that have taken place. There was a lady crushing a guy's head with, with her body. Yeah. A lady taking a piss outside a bar Yeah, yeah certainly was mm-hmm and then they'll have Pacers Cavaliers

Like that's corn cob TVs gold right? Yeah, it is actually they're actually funny enough. They're showing King Richard Will Smith's Most famous movie you could argue great movie.

I saw his guy swore he did That's all fuck Will Smith doesn't have to curse to sell records. Mm-hmm. Well, I do so fuck him

Fuck you, too. I believe is what I'm I'm set bar that guy swore in so does that count? I think that's Will Smith is still doing all this without swearing swearing correct which is that's a whole nother element is it still doing what is it true that him music him and Emma released a track together stop it he's the bar gotsy of rap bro yes everyone feels bad for the guys gotsy yeah that feels like he's bars got and he bars got me what his bars got bars got me. Okay, yeah, you're right. Yeah, okay. I thought you were saying got meat to the DNA. No, no, like he's got me.

Like his bars got me. Hit me. Your hook. What's your problem, Nick? You still anti Will Smith. I thought we maybe turn the page on this entire thing. It's not even a thing. People weren't talking about it.

Here you guys are parading around on stage, making a mockery of it. Dude, don't act like high-life pretty girls. The poor The poor guy's been through so much shit in the past couple years and you just keep dragging his name through the mud up here Acting like he's doing some great feats like he used to I like pretty girls girls girls girls girls girls girls Sorry he's got the song in summer And I like the fact that he's just... Jason Morazz. I like that he's back You do kind of look like

Shout to Jason Morazz super talent He looks very very cool, but we'll Smith's all the way back. I like these you're seemingly all the way back He's not all the way back Shut down London.

et cetera. It's like, well, you don't got to tell everybody that you made a massive mistake by no. He's letting people know that every once in a while you're going to miss will spend saying every once in a while you're going to miss. I don't think that's what he's saying. I think that's what I say. But maybe, you know, maybe that is what he's thinking. Will Smith looks young, by the way. He does still can move. He's got that handheld camera. Yep. Like and pretty girls can take a lot of years off your life. Yes, it can. Yes, it can. All right, let's get the fuck out of here. Let's have a weekend, shall we? Hell yeah.

Yeah, just jacket just from a falling king of the past, you know This thing this thing's probably been in the Great Pyramids I

Think you can take this thing all the way back to BC Really Boston Connor? No before Christ And it just somehow made its way here on a shipping container. You know, did you see that? I'm not getting into it. I saw something that made it appear as if boy there had been sophisticated civilization a long time ago Yeah, there's stuff out there a lot of stuff like new stuff coming out It's like how they explain that one away I wonder and then I immediately go to grok make that and we will tell you that Grock did not make this but we got Tone as a safari hunter as a safari tour guide and Tone this is

how you should potentially live your life you look awesome I don't know if we saved it yeah there's there's been a few things. Yes! Is that tone anti mixed into one? I don't know. It is interesting. Coyote Peterson. Look at the tat, though. The redness of the fire on the left arm there.

It's accurate. Vibrant. And it's got your... You're in like a safari vehicle with your mic. Yeah. A little bit of Pierce Brosnan in there. A little bit. Yeah.

Mobland. Keep it going. Golden eye. Leading man in a major motion picture. You also look like Bradley Cooper in stars born. Yeah What's his name? Jackson man rest in peace. Yeah, he's not resting in peace with the way he lived miss you know No, he's resting in pieces. Yeah I like that I have a microphone on my jungle safari vehicle so I could speak to the animals if need be Oh, I did a safari down at Disney World. They got a microphone Oh, yeah, me and Sam if you look to your left. Yeah bingo deep in the back aren't the trees there?

You might see an elk that has never been seen before We got a family of them. They like to lay low, but they are spunky Me and Samantha were the only ones on the cart. Oh so you had to give them a pop? Every time. I also said, hey next time I think you should deliver this one before this one. Like you kind of gave away what was coming. I think you should let us kind of experience that a little bit. I do appreciate that. This is my third week here. Like in our voice, on the microphone. I'm like how long have you worked on it? Like it was clearly a routine while driving through

fucking with these wheels. It was an impressive, I was very impressed. Headset right here, got the full kit on. Like a duck boat. Have to have stats and facts and jokes about each individual animal. She did, she delivered. Thought she gave away something,

should not have given away. Hey, we don't. Bet you're a slave. You need to save that one. Yeah, you need to save that. You need to let us experience. Look at that. You know, that is, that's what we came for.

You know, that is, she was awesome. I forget her name, I shouldn't have known her name. Disney World made it feel like I was out there in that. Have you done Disney World? Yes, not for a long time. As an adult? Not as an adult, no. Done Disneyland as an adult.

Mackenzie's kind of moving out of the Disney world right now. I'm a little worried. We used to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse in the morning. Oh yeah. She's not really interested in it. I think that's like a, she'll be back when she's like seven, eight. Clubhouse we're morning. Oh, yeah, she's not really interested. I think that's like a She'll be back when she's like seven eight clubhouse. We're going back to or just like Disney in general I think like Toy Story first time yesterday morning the best big pops She was really pumped up. Mm-hmm, but I was worried because I was like we had great vacation to Disney World

Now she's not even interested in the Disney. Yeah. Yeah, I was gonna be a hey, I was gonna be back pocket Who's a hero? They got something for every age Disney yeah, cuz you'll get into the toy store. You'll get into movie age now that be movie 250 times Probably in the last Jerry Seinfeld. Yeah, that's how mine was good story. It's good. Good. It's pickable me. It's pickable me The pollen jocks are really fucking They're living like kings out there. Yeah They get the experience outside the hive

They're the pollen jocks. They're the ones grabbing the pollen getting all the and they're there coming back makes sense Jerry kind of puts himself in an interesting situation to join the pollen jocks, even though he's not supposed to be a pollen jock He goes out there, he's got to battle the rain. Yeah, it's kind of lost on a tennis ball. I mean, it's a fucking it's a class. It is a you know, Jerry Seinfeld is a expert on the details, you know, like the very relatable small things. This is a good movie.

Hey, I would like to thank Jerry and the DreamWorks people for me and Mackenzie's life for like the last three four weeks or whatever Your merch does have you done Despicable Me yet? Oh, yeah, we're through group. Yeah group. I believe yeah Yeah, and Pharrell has the sound track to every movie banger. Mm-hmm That thing starts with the car going up the mountain the happy the happy was from the first one or second one Yeah, the car up the mountain's Despicable Me 4. Yeah. The last one. Yeah, banger.

That's a good way. I think if you were to get into the kid entertainment world, because there's a lot of lazy made things that have a lot of use. I'm watching this shit with McKenzie and I'm watching, I'm like, this is so lazy. Like this is, I understand what you're trying to do here, but we're fucking mailing it in here. I mean this is and then I look at the views of 2 billion views. Yeah

They got to figure it out. Maybe maybe I maybe that is not the actor. So my Prince a mock murder remember his character. Oh captain a yeah, is that what it was? Yeah, like it is that taken off? I think so has not popped up in my algo Can we look up captain a and what years he I do appreciate how much he committed to that He did he is it I loved it. We figured it out cuz we knew Prince We got a chance to know Prince of Mokomora pre becoming a child superhero. Mm-hmm, and he was a care he was Fucking hilarious if I do recall, like very, very funny. Worst call for an Atlanta. And he knew it.

But he talks shit, I believe, if I recall. I mean, he was he was awesome. So then whenever he shows up at Super Bowl, Radio Road in a costume, I don't know if he was mocking something or if he was act. He's fully committed to that, I think. That's good business. We thought we thought I thought at first it was like a marketing deal you know that he was dressed up in a marketing day we saw him go back and forth a few times and then he comes up and tells a story of this whole character he's

created like he has a whole universe for kids by the way how about us all kayfabe real quick as soon as he started talking as soon as we realized that it was no longer him he's not this guy's not backing around it's not a gimmick of some sort this This is a real deal It's like all right, we're all in we're all in there. He is at super bowl radio. What's it? Mr A not captain a mystery. I will check in on mr. A with mckenzie. See if she's a fan I'll tell you what she will let me know though. She will let me know we're playing something she'll just go no and i'm like, uh We don't want this on no. No next no. No, and then I I exit I exit you know and then she'll point at the screen this and then I'll click on it and then we start playing it she goes you hear her sigh no like she who had such she had high hopes for what we were gonna watch like last night I think we went through maybe 45 options on YouTube and there was like six different No Like it was like watching her become a human is like really cool like it is cool

And when you realize we're talking about this off air when you realize that she's listening and knows a lot more Than what she is saying. It's like a cool thing Like I asked her like where binky was our pacifier I asked sam where the binky was and like she like held it up like in my face basically and I was like Oh, you know that I'm asking a question What it is like she knows a lot of things and it's like yes, she says back and it's like, oh well That's an interesting little situation. Now. What all do you know, you know like how you know like you have what four kids for real actually yeah that's an insane thing that they just they're listening they know everything they're listening they pay attention

that's why it's like especially as they get older like they don't care they they don't care what you have to say like they're modeling their behavior on how you're interacting in the world like I sure you can do I showed her my tattoo this morning. Yeah. And she immediately lifted up her shirt. I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no. Ken's, this ain't.

And she was like big smile, you know? And then put it down. Like, you, you know, don't be. I'm showing you your tattoo on my body. And she like, you know, start. Now she's starting to work a little bit too, which I respect. Let me like look away for a second and hey,

I'm like, yo, we're not doing that. Like that is not a thing. She started to get a little sly. I like all, I love it. I didn't want kids, I don't know how I would have experienced life without her. Yeah.

Like legitimately, I have no idea. Right? It is, isn't it? We're good after you have them. After you have, yeah, I didn't think about kids like, until we had them. And then it's like, yeah, I don't, what didn't think about kids like, until we had them. And then it's like, yeah, I don't what was life before? That's how it is. Yeah, because like everything is soon as I get home. We're with

her. She goes to bed, figuring out what the morning looks like, you know, it's like, it's just a whole different, you can see how people get kind of captivated and taken away. How do the people have like 10 kids? I don't know that they're doing it. Yeah, that john and Kate plus eight. Well, they take care of each other after a while. The kids. Yeah, like the middle kid starts doing the lunch. Well, like them like they didn't plan on having eight kids, right? It's like they just like you

get pregnant once and it's like, I think they did some boosting. Okay, so like, they kind of gamed it a little bit. I think they were hoping for like a triplets maybe or like twins or something like that instead eight game. I don't remember. I know that didn't end good No, it did. Yeah They got shows you can listen to that give you advice and stuff on parenting, yeah, I Know there's a lot of books and stuff too. Mm-hmm books. I

Don't read books a lot. Yeah, that's why Connor sounds like a Specific show in mind. No, I don't I don't have any kids. I'm, that's why. Connor sounds like he has a specific show in mind. No, I don't. I don't have any kids. I'm not really privy to any of this stuff. I'm just saying that's how some people get through it. When you get to the point of life of kid time, I'm pumped to see you be a.

Yeah, we'll see. It's a cool thing. You'd be great. Comment will be great, dad. I'm going to be abusive. I know that. What? Just physical. OK. That be abusive. I know that what just physical

Yeah, right not not verbal as soon as you see this child it's like it's unbelievable it is really Impossible cat wolf.

Just the rocket classic. It used to be an Akron to didn't it? No, it's always now remember we had Ricky on from he would say the rocket wasn it used to be an Akron to didn't it? No, it's always now Remember we had Ricky on from he would say the rocket wasn't in Akron. Yeah I was about to say he would only say that if he knew that right and that's something it's new to Detroit It's only been a couple years. So AJ's might be right. Yeah So you guys just automatically shooting down AJ as something that happens in Ohio. I think was a miscalculation

I knew we had Ricky on from Detroit two years ago. Yeah, but I'm just saying I think that was a misfire Put fiber I just kind of wanted to on from Detroit two years ago. Yeah but I'm just saying I think that was a miscalculation. They were putting fiber. I just kind of wanted to be a dickhead to him. Yeah hey sometimes you gotta do that. Yeah exactly.
