Hello, beautiful people. A welcome to our Humbley Bo, the Draft King's Thunderdome. On this USA Thursday, June 25th, 20206, this program begins now. Sports! Are the absolute greatest, and today the USA men's national team will take on Turkey. Nice. As we play in a game that does not matter, we have already punched our ticket to the next round. Obviously, we have won our group, group D.

thought that was going to happen. Obviously, we win back-to-back games in the World Cup for the first time since 1930, and the boys are humming. We got multiple guys that are notable names that are on yellow cards. They're probably not going to be on the pitch because if they pick up a second yellow card, then they're suspended for the next game. The next game matters. This game doesn't, you see. So we're not going to see a lot of guys, but we are going to see maybe a lot of depth of Team USA that we haven't had in the past. I still think we beat the hell of Turkey. I still think that Turkkaya, after firing their coach, is still trying to figure out how they go from the odds on favorite to win the group to whatever the hell has happened to them now throughout this World

Cup over here in the United States of America. There's five other games happening today as well. We're in the middle of a World Cup bonanza. We'll certainly chit-chat about all of that. The NFL's cooking, obviously, there's news always happening. Congrats to Jacksonville, Jaguars, tight end. Breton Strange. Just got paid in the offseason middle of summer. Nice to get a little payday for him. Obviously, there's a lot of chatter around so many different things happening around the sports world. We'll cover it all. Wendy will be joining us after the huge trade that sends The Ball brother, from Carolina up to Minnesota to be teammates with Ann Ed, can't wait to chat with Wendy.

He's been on every show since this announcement. So what can we get out of them than nobody else got? We'll see. We'll find out. Grella will join us, and then Ian Rappaport will join us to wrap up the weekly stories of the NFL. We'll also have to tell you our favorite things from the week and our least favorite things from the week. The least favorite things of the week just are things that make us go, oh no! Soxate was here at Boss Conner at Ty Schmidt.

Conman, go America. Yeah, go America. Turkey A sucks. So both the place, the government, everything about it, and they're sucks. Jeez, Elise. I mean, they're awful. It is what it is. They don't have.

Easy. That's just, really. For some reason, as soon as we started, the first night came to my mind was Enis Canada Freedom. And I don't know why, but that is what popped in my head. But that's just the truth of it. I saw it yesterday we were minus 105. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, we're minus one.

So even the sports books know, hey, Turkey A sucks. So I'm pretty pumped for it. 10 o'clock, we're going to see a bunch of guys we haven't seen. Yeah, it is pretty. We don't know anything about Turkey to the country. I'm to be honest. I know next to nothing. I know Enos Cantor hates it, and he's from there.

Okay, so I don't know Enos Canter well enough just to know if I'm just riding with Enis Cancer. But I will say, I will. Change his last name to freedom. I will take that into account. I will take that into account. I've never been in Turkey. I do not know Turkey, but I do know their soccer team was supposed to be really good.

it has obviously been a collapse and now all of a sudden America's playing their backup still favored to win I like where we're at with football tie Yeah without a doubt it's match day three it's football day And listen I know we have nothing to play for I know we're already moving on United States has never won all three group games So you think Mo Pontchitino is sitting in there just like

Hey boys you know we're just going to go have a little kick about no no no no no No no if that ball's out on the pitch today We're looking to rip skulls off we're looking to rip necks out That's what we do. That's what we're going to do. Probably should have known about Turkey A from the get-go, too. I noticed in their first match, these guys put their first and last names on the back of the jersey,

which is a... That's a clown move. Dorks. It's a slap dick move. The symbol on the front. Well, sure, but they don't think about that. That's what I mean. It's not about the name on the front or the name on the back.

It's about the whatever else. They're saying names on the back. Right. Nobody ever does that. No. Maybe an initial. Yeah, sure. Hard thought.

Totally. Right. I get that. Putting first name, last name. I mean, what are we talking about? I'm not going to go as far as Connor and sit, you know, kind of rip down their government and everything about their country, although I lean towards what he's saying. But I think we're going to beat the shit out of these guys today. It's a long wait.

Hey, so don't get too, don't get too crazy. We got a 10 p.m. start tonight. So it's going to be hard not to get real boozed up before match day three. But we should treat this like a celebration because that's what it is. 10 p.m. Eastern United States kicks off against Turkey in Los Angeles. Game three trying to win all three pool games. Let's go to one half of the hammer. Cowboys, AP Tone.

You look super America too, bro. Still got the sticker on your shirt, proving you bought that. You didn't steal it. I like that. Just for it's on you. Boom. I did buy this. Shout out.

Oh, that company with an H. Omage. There it is. You said it without the H, though. At least it's not with an F. No, I was going to go. It's a little chilly in here, so I had a hoodie on, and then Connor shames me into putting on my USAMNT Team Crest. And I was just thinking, you know, just like me, these colors, it don't run, brother.

The red, white, and the blue. So what would I be sitting here doing without these colors on today? Yeah, so I think you're kind of attacking me for not wearing, just another hats right there. And I am also a massive fan of Team USA. I'm excited for it. Another man who is eager for 10 p.m. Eastern tonight. Now, he has a show here in Indiana that he has known about for a long time.

I set on getting to Indiana. Now, he's hosting The Voice. Wow. Yeah, this guy hosting the Voice. He's winning awards at award shows this guy. And people are saying whenever he walks by, they say, that's about as Cowboys, it fucking gets right there? That's right.

Ladies and gentlemen, on the Cowboy as it gets tour. former Jacksonville State quarterback, now country music sensation, here on USA Thursday, ladies and gentlemen, Riley Green. Yay, Riley! So cool, Riley. You look so cool. It's the longest I've been on the show before somebody said I was on the show. Yeah, that was an interesting thing.

I didn't know when to bring in. I'll be honest with you. I think we should always do that. I didn't know when to bring in. But see, you said I wasn't good on taking cues when y'all were doing your chance and stuff. Should I speak before? As to ask him being spoken to. I don't know.

I think always be a part of the team when he could be a part of the team, but I did think that I should have introduced you a lot earlier because when that camera was coming in from out here, and we saw the crew over here, you know, underneath that he's... Maybe to Terry in the back, we just bring me out later when you need me, you know what I mean? We'll just...

Who's Terry in the boat? Well, there's not really anybody named Terry. But they don't know that. People watching. There could easily be somebody in Terry with a... Oh, man, I was hoping that you thought, like, D-Bone's name was... That would be awesome. Terry Bull.

I wouldn't commit to a name that's not right. Like, I might not know it, but. Well, I'm letting you know, D-Bone wore his best country as Cowboys, it gets fit today because you knew you were coming in town. He's the big one down in there. He had the camouflage. He had the camouflage button down on.

Yeah, I can't, yeah. He was tucking it before. The one wearing the tent. I like that. I can't miss him. Listen, I like it when you come in with a thematic approach. You know what I mean? Like you've been quoting my songs all day.

That's great. Remind me the, you know, the songs that I have and things that are going on in my life. It's great, man. I always love coming here. Well, we've needed you in the worst way. I wonder when that's going to get old. I'll tell you what, I like it. And for you, you might be staring down the worst way.

To stop it by bringing it up, you know, because the more you bring it up, there's probably going to be a little bit more where that's going to, because it's a little different round here, you know, you know what I'm saying. Eventually you'll run out of songs. We only said it's been a hell of a year to Parker McCollum for three years.

straight. Yeah, he hates us now. Yeah, and it's actually not that, it's actually not a super positive song. Now, your songs also. Always positive. Yeah, that's right. And you do write them. I think, uh, I think that's what I learned at the ACM awards. Is there, when you were my date? Yes. Thank you. Nice job. Thanks for having me. How was that? You were great, man. I mean, I'm sure people saw us together and thought, uh-oh, you know what I mean? What do you mean? Uh, Well, I just didn't maybe have trouble. The boys are off the market. Because there is a certain level of decorum you have to have there.

You know, you're dressed up and we were sitting very close to the front. Very close. There were a few times that I had to, hey, we're not standing at this part of the show. You know what I mean? It's not a stand-up yell-plause thing. This is more of a... Well, that's the issue when you're in the front because you can't see what's happening behind you. So are we standing right now or are we not?

I will say that he's not a... He doesn't follow what everybody else does. He was like, I'll start this. You know, we'll start the wave right now. I'm like, this is not the place that we're time for. I was tugging on this, you know, have a seat. Now, I will say we were being watched with every move that we did make. I found that out afterwards, and I think you probably did as well in real time knew that.

But every clap that was had was being monitored for everything. It felt fascinating to be in there with you. Because, Riley, I feel like we have known you for a while now. Yeah. We have been very appreciative of the fact that you're a football guy. But hey, now you are, huh? Yeah. Yeah.

The guy? Hey. Come on the voice. Come on. And you're still as cowboys as it gets, you know? And that is, I think that's what I realized in there is in that room. It was cool to see how much respect everybody had for you. And I also think it was a lot of appreciation for like everybody's journey in there, but certainly for you.

So thank you for letting me be there. And also, congrats to you, brother. You worked your ass off for this. It's great, man. You have, you have. How does it feel to be on top of the world right now? You're going to say that you're not. But how does it feel to get to a place that you've been trying to work together?

to, obviously. I think that it's probably similar to, you know, when you're sports, whatever your career is, is when you get to a place where things are working, it's probably more motivating than anything else. You know, I think people think when you have a hit song, they think, okay, well, now I can relax, and it's quite the opposite of that. It's like, okay, well, now I've got an opportunity to go do this or that. You know, I didn't really have time to do the voice.

I mean, we're on tour, you know, flying to L.A. twice a week, go out there and film, but how do you turn an opportunity to like that down? So it's great, man. It's just, I can tell this going well because I'm tired. Yeah, and that's good. Anytime you're busy, that's obviously a good thing. And I had today off up until the show. Sure.

And, of course, here I am. Why don't you? Yeah, we'll give you some juice, won't we? We'll give you some juice. You want to talk, soccer. Help you move tickets on the sold-out show already. I just came by here to get some of them peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Oh, yeah, you're talking jams.

You're talking jams, obviously. I appreciate that you're doing that. A lot of people talking jams, by the way. Grape is on the way. and free around the corner. Shout out to GOMS, by the way. Available nationwide, Walmart, and Target, and I believe on some GoPuff.

I'm an owner. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. We all are kind of, I guess. You know, spur of the moment for him to come to the ACM awards with me. Yeah. And I feel like we behaved.

I almost got out of there with no controversy at all. What was the controversy? You missed that. What are you two, ball-tapped Blake, during one of the awards, right? No, Blake was awesome. It was great to talk to me. Yeah, that actually went over really well.

It was, uh... You put Bubele in a headlock? It's another singer, yeah. He wanted me to talk about it too much. Sheriff. What do you have? He got, listen, let's just say what happened. Pat got a little chatty.

He got a little yappy with the Bubelea. He about to put those paws on him. I thought Buhl was going to tell us he fought him. He's got heavy hands, too. He does. He was very respectful the situation Pat was. He didn't let it get out of hand, but there was a set. But there was a second when he said something that and Bubli about came across the table.

I am when I had to step in. This is not true. This is not true. This is not true. Bubei and I are the best of friends. This is not true. They did make up. They made up all of it. That is not true.

Riley Green was trying to start stuff between me and Michael Bubele. And to be honest, I did not like it because I love Bubele. Yeah. No, yeah. Who doesn't? Bubele can read a book and sing that thing. He's so incredibly talented. And little that I know, fantasy footballer.

Yeah. Bubei's out there fantasy football and in a big one. voice guy too. And then all of a sudden, Bublite leaves. We invite them to the afterwards at where we went. Losers. Losers out there, which was awesome.

Great to see Steve. Good dude. Everybody out there was fantastic and kind to us. And all of a sudden, Riley goes, oh, you and Bublate didn't fight. And I go, excuse me? And out of nowhere, he's telling everybody, Shibuzi. He tells Shabuzi. Hey, this guy almost got beat up by Michael Bubli.

He tells Zach Top, after he forced me to drink three tequila shots. Wherever were you for that one, that felt like you, country people kind of set me up for that whole. entire thing. Hammered those. You tell Zach thought, Bublay almost beat this guy's ass. We had a FaceTime Rich Rodriguez. Oh, no. He was asleep. Obviously, we're in Vegas time. And I said, this guy saying Bubla would kick my ass.

Rich Rod said, I went through Hard Edge University. I've never going to lose to him. And I said, thank you for that. But Bublay, I think we had the best table in the entire place, personally. I think we had a great table. Bublae was a huge piece of it. He was. And I don't think Bublay would have beat you up, just so we're clear on that. I don't think he was going to get to that. I think he was going to grab you and kind of

like, hey, straighten up. And like, I think he was going to tell you where you could put that foot. You know what I mean? All right, okay. Let's talk about some news, shall we? And I know you've been paying attention to everything happening around the sports world. Love it. Le Mello Ball got traded out of Carolina to Minnesota last night.

Obviously, this is a gigantic move because we saw the Hornets go on a little bit of a run. They became kind of the media darlings of the play internment. And this was the biggest a ball brother had ever really gotten to. So it was nice to see a lot of nostalgia while also seeing. the development of a team and of a player and of a human that we've watched since he was a teenager. Boom, now he's going to Minnesota with the Ant Man. And I can't wait to see how those two play together. We'll have Wind Horse joining us here in a matter of moments.

What does this mean for Boston? What does this mean for Jalen Brown? What does this mean for the NBA con man in your eyes? So for Boston, at least, the report was that the T-Wolves and Celtics were engaged in talks to Jalen Brown, but the compensation for Jalen Brown was too high in comparison to Lamello Ball, which is crazy because I think it was four first-round picks Nasreed and three second round picks to kind of get this entire deal done. A lot of these guys, and it was alluded to with Jalen Brown too, are eligible for these

Supermax extensions. I think Lamello in one year or two years can get one of those insane, like three-year, $190 million extension. So it seems like there's going to be a lot of that. But I don't know. It'll be cool. I know the press conferences will be cool. People let their jokes fly about just Minnesota, Minneapolis, in general,

with Lamello Ball and Edwards there. You know, a lot of people in Charlotte. saying that the street police will be much happier that they don't have to pull over the mellow ball leaving games anymore. But we'll see if it works. It's pretty fun. They're probably going to shoot 83s a game between the two of them.

Yeah, and hopefully they'll go on a win. Remember, Ann Edwards also fun during the playoffs. Him going over to the other team, who was at Spurs? Yep. Spurs, I think, with like eight minutes left. They were shaking their hand in the final game. A lot of people had differing opinions about it. It felt like they were going to make a move to do something

because I think Ant was getting a little restless. I would like to go on and try to win a title. In the West, Oklahoma City. San Antonio. Yeah. Austin Reeves just signs back with the Lakers. Congratulations to him. His name's still on the possible move for some dream trade scenarios. The NBA always cooking. We'll have Wendy joining us in five minutes. Riley, your thought on Ant Man and Lamello Ball teaming up in Minnesota. What's this going to do for their on court chemistry, Riley, Green? I love it. I love it. It's a great look. It's a great move. It's got a lot to prove in the NBA still. He's got a great place to go out there and get a fresh start. You know what I mean? That's right. Good point.

Hey, man. We should put that on the bottom ticker, actually. I don't want to talk numbers, but I feel good about it. Okay, yeah. You don't want to have too deep into it. Yeah, I don't want to spend all day on that, you know. Yeah, let's got to stay. You got some other stuff.

We've got soccer, some of the stuff here. Let's talk about USA Thursday. Thank you. You did not get a chance to chat about it. Team USA roll and so much show that today's game doesn't even matter, but it does because America's taking on Turk. Turkaya. How do you feel about us taking on Turkaya?

and will you be eating a turkey sandwich alongside the rest of us as we try to turkey? If I'm not too full on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches by that time, fit three already today. Grape's coming soon. If it was grape, you probably have four or five. I'll say it. Strawberry is delightful.

This show here in hopes that USA would be playing, and this would be USA Thursday. You know what I mean? I had that much faith in the USA soccer team that this would be going on. today and I could be here with y'all to celebrate. You said you could put it on the big screen behind you at the show. Oh, yeah. Usually it's just me.

Yeah, exactly. I'm ag and like close-ups with a little sweat, but not today. It's going to be an American flag in the background, waving with the soccer match. USA 250. And what times the game start? 10 p.m. Okay.

So you'll be able to, you'll play leading up to that. It'll be a lot of your face. Honestly, I'm going to open for the soccer match. Smart. Good idea. You know what I mean? Yes. and got some fireworks,

a little pyro cued up for the kickoff. We don't know if a goal is coming. We do not know if a goal is coming. I'm actually going to play with no hands. In honor of the soccer match. Toes. What are you playing with?

All right, let's talk about some football news before we dive back into basketball with Wendy. Bosa, Joey, who previously of the bills, obviously and of the Chargers. We obviously know him from the Bosa family of tackling quarterbacks and being absolutely jacked

and having family members in the past who have certainly been a part of American history and everything like that. Schaefter on his podcast that Ty Schmidt co-hosts. Chit chat about Joey Bosa and is he going to the Niners or is he going to the golf course? It is more likely than not that Joy Bosa has played his last NFL down.

Now again, could a situation like the 49ers come along that entices him enough to come out and play again? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. We saw it happen last year with Philip Rivers, so you never know when a player is fully done and when he's not done. But the fact of the matter is, I think if the Niners wanted to pair those two together, it probably would have happened already. I think if Joy Bosa wanted to play football, it probably would have happened already.

And I think he's perfectly content to sit on the sideline with all, all the money that he's made, not have to go to training camp, not have to put himself into a situation that he doesn't want to be in, and be highly selective to choose an opportunity to play again. And that's even if he does that, which I would guess there's a real chance he doesn't. Had it, baby, Ty. Hey, okay, Joey. Oh, Ty.

Congratulations, Joey, Ty. Way to set him up for that. Yeah. And then you came in at the tail end, just looking so professional. and you had the USA Rider Cup on, so obviously you were celebrating USA Thursday as that was happening. But this does feel like big news. We thought Bosa was just going to inevitably end up playing alongside his brother, like what we're seeing, the Kachucks do down in Florida for the Panthers right now in the NHL,

just a nice family story. I don't think I imagined him to retire, but now they're looking back on it with the amount of money he's made, with how much he's accomplished, with who and everything is. It makes sense, I guess, that Joey Bosa is done and had a hell of a career. Congrats to him. Yeah, I didn't really think that was a thing either. and then I just assume, I mean, the injury history too, but I did ask Shepty, hey, is there a chance, you know, mid-season or something like that, that, you know, the 49ers have a situation like they did last year where their D-lines really banged up and they kind of need some help. Will he come back in at that point?

And Shepty basically said he didn't think so. He said, no, I think if he's not on a team by the start of the season, then he has more than likely played his last NFL snap. Hell of a run, Joey. Thank you for what you did for football. We appreciate that. Buckeye legend. And obviously he out, I believe, early. He was drafted.

He was one of the first and only guys to do that. Gets his deal, does his thing. Obviously becomes Charger Legend. He goes to the Buffalo Bills, tries to hunt it down. We didn't know what was next. What's next is living your life. Congratulations, Joey. You obviously earned that now.

Retiring from football is never easy. We have a man joining us now. We had to retire from football, a game that he loved. He was a starting quarterback. Yeah, it was. In college. Multiple times. Riley, when you had to give up the game,

What was that conversation like? You know, Charlie Bosa had to do that. I had to do that for multiple years. Obviously, me as a punter, vastly different situation than I'd say a quarterback or somebody else that has committed to their entire being to playing ball. When you had to step away from football to make it to music, was it a tough decision? How did you go about doing that, actually? Well, it was a pretty easy conversation for me.

It was a graduate assistant coach came in and got me from seven-on-seven drills and brought me in the office and asked me how many classes did I NC that semester. and the answer was all of them but aqua aerobics. Yeah. So, yeah. But I had an A in aquarobics. Hell yeah. So I ended up, you know, walking away from football.

Oh, so you got kicked out of school. I mean, when you say it like that, I mean, just so we're clear, I got a doctrine from that university. Okay. Oh, so you're a doctor green right now? I'm Dr. Green, yeah. Okay. I got a stethoscope on the bus. Like an honorary area?

So if there's anything y'all need me to look at while I'm here. I do. Sure. I got a knee. I know it's a knee. Got me broke is to go. And we also got a back situation. The World Cup fever is kind of injured 30 to 40% of the office at this moment.

So you've been a doctor's... This looks like a place to get injured. Honestly, this building does. Yeah, pretty solid insurance. Let's not keep it too loud, though. But seriously, like, I mean, everybody is an athlete, competitive. You lose that thing that is your main, you know, project and life. And for me, I got to find something else, you know, right around the same time,

which was music and touring. So I imagine that I probably had it a little easier than some people, but I can't imagine coming off an NFL career and having to find a way to figure out what to do with your day. Usually a lot of guys get really jaded. So what I've realized with a lot of ex-players is it's normally a one to two-year jaded, I hate this place, because you're very rarely walking out on your own accord. Yeah. That is very rare with a sport, especially whenever you're a professional,

the amount of time you've committed your life to this sport. And then finally for the first time, the sport is telling you like, hey, we don't want you, man. There's like a jaded kind of NFL thing that happens. I think it happens in most sports. And then inevitably, I think there's a big emotional return, I think, which we've seen all of those types of things. Well, look at the amount of players that had the opportunity. I mean, you want to go out on top.

And there's a lot of players that had that opportunity to do it. I mean, and then look at how many came back. Yeah, yeah. The Rick Farves and Tom Brady's that, you know. Tom won one now. Hey, listen, he came back. Lost a lot, they say, but. Yeah, lost everything, you say, especially after Sunday.

But he loved. He loved. Absolutely loved the game, but we appreciate what he's done for the sport and everything. Like that, music for you. Did you start singing when you were a kid? Or did you just like, uh... It was a lot more in sports growing up. I played football, baseball and basketball, six years of soccer. Go team USA. Hell yeah. USA! USA! USA! Oh, yeah. Yep. Okay, I like that. Yeah. Were you going to do the anthem? Were you going to see it? Go on now.

There's two in here. Go ahead, take your pick. All rise. Move her hats, if you can. Just kind of a moment of silence thing. No, I think you were going to sing the song. We thought you were going to sing a year. All right, okay.

Now, listen. Everybody in the back. Everybody stood up there. We thought we were getting. Oh. No, no, we can't. Let's not forget about. Let's not forget about Australia.

Two, one, you, two. Maybe you should do the anthem tonight at 10 o'clock. Let's don't. What is that. say, hey, let's not forget about Australian Paraguay. Yeah, at 10 p.m. as well, the night. That's going to be a big one, too.

You know, decide a lot. But, no, man, I think I just enjoyed music. And when I realized that I could make a little money, play in, I started doing it, playing cover shows. Then I got tired of playing the same songs every week, so I started writing songs. And then people started saying, man, play that one song you wrote, you know. And I would like, man, this one line made that guy sit his beer down

and look up from his meal. You know, like, that's how I learned how to. right. So very accidental success in music until about 2015, 16, and then I realized I had a chance to have a career doing it. So again, I was fortunate to have something to fall back on when I got done playing sports because I think I would have really struggled with that if I hadn't had it. Yeah, and then music kind of changed your mind, didn't it? Yeah, it did. It did. It did. It did, yeah.

That's one of the best. That was, because he didn't expect it. No, not at all. They startled me a little bit. Well, I almost made you change your mind. I don't think you should be able to use them over and again. Like, you got to, do you not have a list of songs? You don't make the rules.

Okay, pretty boy. Hey, listen, if I don't leave, I'm going to stay. With that being said, I need to move along. And I'm not as think as drunk I am either, okay, whatever you got going on over there. That one is hard to say. All 50 states, I believe, nationwide draft kings is available with their predictive marketing, and obviously they're free to plays. If you are of age and can make a promise to all of us to not be an asshole.

A pledge. And wage and gamble and bet responsibly and trade responsibly, we hope you'll join us. We were getting a lot of crowns there for a little bit. And then Harry Kane decided not to score. He got cursed by a witch. Now, speaking of odds, there was a... In Ghana. It's real.

If you have a show in Ghana, I think you should go get right with this one witch doctor. Because Harry Kane missed the setter that he would never... Absolutely fucking stuff. Said he couldn't feel his legs? Yeah, he said he was out of control. Well, he wasn't in control because a witch doctor in Ghana told him he couldn't score, okay? And then the witch doctor in Ghana opened it up and now Ari Cain is going to score again. And so if you have a show in Ghana, you need to change the mind of the witch doctor and

get him on your side. Odds moving on draftings. Timberwolves were what, now what, with Lamello Ball? It feels like a big time move, actually with a name player and also maybe an influential pick. Yeah, it was a huge move. went from the finals, moved almost 800 points, which is ginormous in the conference, only 200. That's probably because the West is so tough.

But getting, obviously, giving up Nas Reid for Lamello Ball, he gives you much more of an offensive player versus Nas Reid. But as far as scoring and Edwards and pairing them together, the sports books thought that was a huge move, even in a conference where you have the Spurs in OKC who are going to be there as well for a long, long time. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who played on the high school basketball team of Maverick Carter and LeBron James,

obviously Ohio lad who has covered basketball from the inside out. Riley Green's favorite NBA conversator, ladies and gentlemen, Brian Windho. Yeah, Wendy! A fun fact, my senior year high school, basketball team was 3 and 17. With you, LeBron? Then LeBron got there. Oh, you never played alongside LeBron. My class was not distinguished with athleticism.

We did not... Except for you. We brought different things to the table at St. Vincent's and St. Mary, class of 1996. Oh, classic. I would love to see that table, obviously, what you guys are bringing versus what LeBron and the boys brought. I dominated the table. No, whoa, whoa, Wendy. You look good, by the way.

It's been fun to watch as all of this has unfolded in the off season. Please tell me, Tone just told us that the Draft King's sports book thinks it's a massive move. Joining Aunt Edwards up there in Minnesota. We saw them during a playoff run. both teams there. In a playing tournament, whenever we watch the Hornets kind of come to life on the grand stage and everybody was saying, that's cute. They got the pistons waiting for them. They don't like them. We thought that was going to be a thing. Instead, now restart down there and restart in Minnesota, basically, with a new duo. How'd we get here? And what are the

thoughts around the league on this? Man, every summer in the NBA, you know we get a shocker too, and this was a shocker. Now, if you had told me that the Hornets would have wanted to trade LeMello, I could have seen that because, you know, he, He had three years where he just really wasn't able to do much because he had chronic ankle injuries. And last year he had a healthy year and I could see them maybe trying to move on from him. Putting him with Aunt Edwards, wow. That's a genuine wow moment. And guys, they had to do something for Aunt.

They had to do something for Aunt. Because you got to think about where Aunt was. You remember the last time we saw him at the end of that series where they were just not competitive at the end. He goes down the line and shaking all the spurs. There's eight minutes left in the game. He's saying, we're done, okay? And, you know, regardless of what you thought of that sportsmanship or whatever, you got the message. He knew his team was not competitive, okay?

And he was not a good fit with Julius Randall, and I'm not, you know, Randall had a bad playoffs, okay? Randall can, he has been a part of successful runs before. He can do things, but they were not a good fit together. Then he's got to sit there and watch as his former teammate, Carl Towns, who he thrived alongside. Now, Carl's not a perfect player, but those two guys became stars together. Minnesota, three years ago, had won one playoff series in their history, and together they got to the conference finals. And he watches Carl Towns have the greatest run of his career

win a championship. And so the league, obviously Janice was the guy everybody was watching for the last year. In the league, the next guy people were going to be watching was Ann Edwards, Because they're looking at Minnesota, and they're looking at how they're changing their team, and it's not working, and ants getting double-teamed when he gets off of the bus, and he's having to work so hard to get what he had, what he had. He really, you know, we complained about it a little bit for the most part. He fought through it. He always supported his teammates.

But you could tell he was getting frustrated. Then, guys, two days ago, they trade Julius Randall for nothing. They salary dump them, as we say in the NBA. And we're like, wow. Like, even though it, like, opened opportunities for their players, and, you know, the word came down, the aunt was actually, you know, okay with it. We were like, wow, how can you have this miserable end of the season and then just give away a player? Well, the wolves had something up their sleeve, and they got lamello ball. Now, they were trying to get Janus, all right?

And Janus was only going to sign in a couple of places, and Minnesota was one of those places because of Ant. Because Ant is an attract, he's a player that attracts guys. Janice was telling other more desirable places no he told the bucks I'll sign with Minnesota but they couldn't do a deal they didn't have enough they did have enough for lamello ball and so now now they're going to have to fix their roster a little bit

because this move Pat they trade away two big men and we know that you got to have size in the Western Conference they trade away Nazaree and Julius Randall call part of the same deal but now he has got a running mate in that back court and a you double team Aunt Edwards you throw the ball to La Mello ball when he's open, he'll toast your ass. Is there enough basketball, though, is there enough basketball for the court? That's all anybody thinks, right?

Hey, listen, man, that's a fair question. That's a fair question. And I kind of got the impression Lamello didn't see this coming. All right? Now, Ant was obviously aware this could be a possibility. You don't make a move like this. That's a fair question, Pat. We're going to have to watch that.

But if I were Lamello, I would think this would. is amazing because he's got an opportunity. I mean, Ant's one of the most high-profile stars in the world, certainly in the NBA. Lamello is extraordinarily popular, but he's popular with an audience that is, you know, a different type of basketball fan.

You know, my eight-year-old son loves his shoes. But two, well, he didn't buy him. I bought him. He's got two pairs of his shoes because he loves his shoes. He knows, six, seven, all that stuff. He's super popular on the social. He's lit. Yeah, obvi, dude, tauts, bro. Yeah, yeah, Wendy,

you're nailing it. Real game, dog. I got a n-year-old. What are you on for me? But he's, frankly, he's not, you know, he's not super popular for his game in the NBA, even though he's got a lot of great skills. So, I think, but I don't know if this is going to work.

You know, you could be rough. You're asking a very fair question. Can this work? Can he and him work together? What about the defense? What about his health? Because he missed a ton of games with chronic ankle injuries. But I'm going to tell you, ESPN is going to put the wolves on TV because you're going to

watch you, too, guys. Because Wendy's going to be dreaming. As a resident of the Upper Midwest, I am invested in the wolves being good, and I am excited about this trait. I am as well. And I like that Lamello is going to be on more primetime games. Just like I like that aunt is going to be on more primetime games. I appreciate the fact that stars are coming together.

Will they win and will it get loud and will it work? Riley Green, who absolutely loves you, Wendy, has a question for you. Yeah, I was just wondering what you thought about Bill Foley trying to get an NBA team in Las Vegas. Yeah, man, that's a potentially really great partner for the NBA. You know, he has demonstrated, I mean, by the way, how about how he demonstrated how you launch a team? I mean, the Vegas nights are one of the great expansion stories in the history of American Pro Sports. Well said, Wendy. Absolutely.

And, you know, I will say this. The NBA right now is a little bit shy about the NHL owners because it's Tom Dundon doing some stuff up in Portland. It's got everybody's backup. I'm not going to lot. What's going on? Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

Riddle me this because Ryan Smith also NHL owner and NBA. He was an NBA owner first. Then he bought into the NHL. Yes. So, and there's some other NHL owners who also own NBA teams, the Kronky family in Denver. but oh boy, Pat, the coaches, the coaches are pissed off, man. So the Blazers hired a coach yesterday, Mike and Norrie. You know, longtime assistant, you know, put the grunt work in, you know, stuff like that.

One year contract. One year contract. It's going to be the lowest paid coach in the league on a one-year deal. It's basically, I wouldn't say it's unheard of because we see guys who come in as interim coaches who basically are kind of working on a week to week. But the idea of hiring a brand new head coach after a coaching, and basically what Tom Dunden is saying is, I don't really value the head coaching position.

So I'll hire, I'll interview 40 guys and I'll hire who's ever willing to take the lowest salary for the worst contract because I think 50 different guys can coach this job. And if you're a Portland basketball fan, you're thinking to yourself, great. We got the cheapest owner in the sport. Well, and I believe he is the owner of the canes, right? so he just won a Stanley Cup. Exactly.

Oh, he's a genius. Yeah, exactly. Oh, yes. Connor, you're going to have to come in and help me on this. But I think he did this with Rob Brindamore, like eight years ago. He gave him like a real short contract, and it's worked out. And he came in and he was like, hey, the Blazers spend $100 million more than the hurricanes. Can't happen.

And he's cutting back the hotel rooms and cutting back the traveling party. Oh, no. They're going to pay. Oh, no. And so, hey. Dame time, right? Dame time. back there, but the owner did say, like, hey,

whoever, who likes to make money, not as much as I do. You're all getting paid fucking nothing, and you're going to shut up. He said that? When Brindamore came in, he was the lowest paid coach by a lot. But Rod loved it. Rod was like, hell yeah. I don't want money. I just want to be out there with the boys skating. And

unfortunately, basketball, it doesn't really work that way. Well, we're going to see. We're going to see. So, anyway, getting back, it's a great question about Bill Foley. So, Riley, you know, you just play football. Love it. I love it.

Yeah. So there's going to be some bidders for that Vegas franchise, but to have a, frankly, to have a guy who's established, and look, the NBA's late getting to Vegas. The NHL beat them there.

The NFL beat them there. The baseball's trying. They're not there yet, but they're trying. They will be. W.W. beat them there. They are going to,

you know, that would be a great partner. At the end of the day, it's going to be who's going to write the biggest check. But Bill Foley coming in is a great sign for a potential future success in Vegas. Wendy, how many Riley Green concerts?

have you been to? I cannot wait to go to my first one. What's that city behind you there? Where are you at? This is New York City. Have you ever been? This is New York City? I was just there.

We played New York last week. Yeah, I just missed you. Way to go. Omaha, though. He lives in Omaha, though. Oh, okay. Yeah, we'll be through there. I know you got fans in Omaha.

I know you got them. Yeah, apparently you're not one of them, Jesus. Take it easy. This guy can dunk a basketball and ostrich boots. Oh. well that's something I'd like to see

well get up right get your ass up check the tape I ate too many peanut butter sandwiches already the day I can't get up

yeah now that's now that's a man's man I'm not saying anything about anybody that's a man's man hell yeah that's why you need to get out to one of the shows

put a hat on and bell buckle to the boots do the entire thing you can maybe be as cowboy as yet I would say

right now I would kill for a night off to go to go to any concerts. I'd love to go to your concerts. Just a few days away before you guys go into the abyss and obviously football just takes over everything. Can't wait. Wendy, I'd love to see you out

there. Maybe a little Jalen Hurts, Devonthe Smith, a little two-stepping out there to run. Are they two-stepping of your shows? No. Are we? Oh, yeah. We got line dancing happening? We got line, circle dancing, square dancing, all kind of dancing. Yeah, because Wendy does like to get after it, I think.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Wendy, whenever you get to one of these concerts, you're singing, your dancing, your drinking, your booze, you're smoking, maybe? You're all in on this, right, Wendy? I'd like to correct you. I'd like to correct you. Okay, so you'll be in there. It'll be fun. I'm ready to experience it.

All right. We'll make it happen. Yeah, we'll send it over to you whenever you get out of that big city, huh? Over there to big city. There's always going to be one person that's asked about, especially whenever you're a high school mate of his. Go ahead, Tom. Yeah, Wendy, I saw a report last night.

Now it was from another account, but they said it came from you that the Lakers may have interested in trading LeBron if he would approve it to the Cavaliers for Jared Allen. Is there truth to that? Does that come from you? That's not what I said, but you know, that's life in the big city, right? You sometimes get aggregated up. We know, yeah. What I was saying is that, you know, right now the Cavs could only offer LeBron $4 million. And one of the things that I've learned about LeBron is you never, never count his money and never spend his money. All right?

So making assumptions that LeBron would take a lot less money. I see people making that assumption, and I just don't think it's smart. Now, he may get there. He may get to a spot where he's willing to take that kind of money, but he is still a max-level player. This is still one of the top 20 players in the NBA. And what I was saying is the only real way that I can see that the Cavs could get LeBron money would be to do a trade with Jared Al.

That's something that the Lakers would do, but I don't think that would improve the calves. I think, you know, if you give away your franchise center, I just don't, I don't see the pathway there. But, you know, look, we'll see what happens. The Lakers really have two choices. So they got Austin Reeves paid. Hey, how about this for Austin Reeves? Did you see this, Pat? You know a little something.

Now, you know a little something about leverage, right? I've seen, I've seen you work, sir. You know something about leverage. All right, okay, okay. So a couple days ago, the Lakers were offering Austin Reeves. so I am told, about $30 million a year. Now, that is excellent money. That is really good money for a guy who was undrafted.

But Austin thought he was worth more. And the Detroit Pistons and other teams, but specifically the Pistons, were ready to pay. And the Lakers, I think, got word that the Pistons were about to do some cap clearing moves. And whatever they did, they called Austin back yesterday and said, we're not going to pay you $30 million a year. We're going to pay a $45. How about it? And that's why Austin Reeves was on his back on that golf course

because he got the call. And they were like, hey, they're offering us the max, buddy. And that is the appropriate celebration when you got yourself a max contract. And so the Lakers got him done. So now they got $50 million left. And they got it.

Now they got two choices. Two choices they can go here. One, they can go to LeBron first and say, LeBron, you averaged 22, 7, and 6 last year. At the end of the season, when Austin was hurt and Luca was hurt, you were healthy, you helped carry us into the second round. We're going to give you a representative contract, whatever that's going to be, 25 million, 30 million, whatever. And then they're going to have less salary cap space, and they're going to have to go try to figure it out. The other thing they could do is do it the other way.

And they could go try to spend cap space on trying to find wing defenders and trying to find a big man. because at some point, guys, they've got to get a big man. If you're going to have Luca Donchich and Austin Reeves, your two highest paid players, which is fine, like you're going to win a lot of games. Those guys are studs. You're going to score. You've got to have someone to protect you on the back line.

You've got to happen. And if they go that route first, they do it by trade or signing, and then they come back to LeBron and say, hey, man, this is what we got left. You know, I don't know. I don't know which way is going to be successful, but that's what the Lakers got to kind of,

and LeBron got to figure out in the coming days. Yeah, they could accomplish getting that backline player if they could get Jared Allen from the Cavs. But I don't think that makes sense for the Cavs. I think the only thing that makes sense for the Cavs is LeBron taking the $4 million. Okay, so $4 million, obviously sounds like you think that is pretty crazy for us to expect, especially if we're near a retirement tour that's going to sell out every single arena that he walks into. He understands that. He's worth $100 million, Pat.

$200, maybe. He'll sell out every single arena. Yeah, he's billions. Just next year, though, we're just talking about it. Yes, overall, definitely worth billion, maybe next year, worth billions of dollars, depending upon how it all goes there. So I appreciate the fact that, you know, him taking the $4 million would be an absurd thing, but I appreciate that maybe the storyline will be that.

Pistons being a part of the Austin Reeve story, fascinating because we saw them making moves, especially with everything that happened in Boston, and we thought maybe that's why they were cooking. Go ahead, Conman. Last question for you, Wendy. Wendy, Yon has got traded late Monday night, and ever since then, the Jalen Brown stuff has just been a load of crap. I'm basically already sick of it. It's been three days. can you please put your fingers up, do the meme of whatever the hell you were talking about the first time,

and just tell me what's going to happen with Jalen Brown. Because if the report was that basically what they were offering from Minnesota was more than what Minnesota just had to give up for the mellow ball, what is this deal going to look like? Or is he just going to come back and we're going to act like this never happened again? And the Celtics are going to win a championship next year. Well, so I'm sure you watched what Brad Stevens said after the draft the other night. He comes out, and he said a lot of really nice things about Jalen, very respectful. He did not say wouldn't trade them.

And if your player is out there in the whole world, in trade rumors, the way you stop it is by say, I'm not trading him. He didn't say that. And he tried to be respectful, Brad Stevens. He said he met with Jalen twice after the season. Once in May and once more recently, I think basically when they were going to head and go ahead and put him in the offer for Janus. And I assume he told, he said he wouldn't talk about.

about what he said to him, but like, I think it's a safe assumption. He'd let him know that he was probably going to hear his name. And so, you know, now, Connor, I don't necessarily agree with this, but I actually think that Jalen and Jason Tatum, in their 20s, played both ends of the court, proven championship duo. I thought the Southwigs had a lot of good things going for them this year. I'm not necessarily in favor of breaking them up. However, Brad Stevens' track record, making player transactions is pretty damn impressive.

He has acquired guys at the right time. He has traded guys at the right time. He has come out and said that he didn't think the Celtics were good enough, that their record against top teams, even after Tatum got back, was worrisome. They blew that 3-1 lead. Even though Tatum got hurt and missed the end of the series, they were already in trouble before that.

I think he doesn't believe that they can beat the Knicks, beat the Pacers, beat the rest of the top teams in the league, with the way the team is constructed now. And if you say you don't believe that, I'm not going to argue with you, but that is obviously what Brad Stevens feels, and he is looking for a trade that's going to get them to a better spot. Well, congrats to you having all the info and all the takes that we needed. I'm going to take all of your thoughts and act as if they're mine.

This is the business, and we appreciate you. Love it. Listen, I know it's hard to leave, but if I was a betting man, I'd say you're probably in a truck right now as you are moving on. You're the best, ladies and gentlemen. Brian Wendell. Yeah, Winfield. That's in 2019, Riley Green.

Nice. Those are the classics, man. Yeah, you see, we're kind of get, get that man a beer. Please. You know? Got yourself a list of, just looking through song. Every once in a while I'm running with an angel and outlaws like us, we fucking love that shit. Damn right.

Don't we? Don't we? Sports, am I right? What else? Excuse me. We got a lot of songs over here. Yeah. Yeah.

Whoa. Every now and then you get in that like this? Whoa. Randy Hauser, you're opening for him. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who has obviously been on top of all the soccer coverage since the beginning of time, but certainly during this World Cup,

from CBS Sports Galazo, front of the program, ladies and gentlemen, Paizano, Michael Corral. There you guys. Dave, Gras. Wow. What's up, boys? What's up? Happy to be here. Hey, beautiful backdrop here.

Is this the Paizan estate here? What do we got going on? I like a little soccer net over there. pool sick. I mean, it is. It is. And I'll tell you something, man. This is all blood money, man.

There's a backbreaking money that I've had to earn. Nothing came easy. Tell you what, Gerello's, as an Italian father, I would expect your grass to be a little more green. Oh, no, he's going to be so pissed. He's back there. Hey, I don't know. Mowing a lot.

Yeah, his IG story is him with chains and shit. It might be moan too much. Oh, maybe you're a little overdoing it. Okay, let's get to overdoing it. Are we overdoing it with United States of America? What do we learn tonight in the game against Turk? Turk. Turkey.

Turkey. What are we learning tonight? just adept, do a couple players, and I kind of made this comparison to the boys where, you know, like somebody will go crazy in the playoffs or something like that. And then obviously they get a massive deal next. Or in the preseason game, last preseason game for the NFL, where a couple guys at the end of the roster go crazy and then they get a job with the team during regular season. There's a chance for some guys to go crazy and earn some minutes down the road here, right?

Is that how we should view tonight or how are you kind of viewing tonight? Yeah, you know, I came on a couple days ago and I said, I said, why not, right? Why can't the U.S. men's national team? Why can't they win a couple of big games down the stretch? So I'll scrap that. I think we're fucked. I've looked at the bracket here.

I looked at the bracket here, and potentially we'd have to play Bosnia first. After we played Bosnia, we'd have to play Korea or Egypt. Fine. That's very doable. But to go to the final and win it, we'd have to come up against Spain, France, and then either Argentina or in England. Okay. So it's going to be three back-to-back, incredible games we have to play.

Impossible is a little too strong. Low odds, definitely, but impossible is a little too strong. There is possibilities where we can win some of those games, but obviously you have to get through tonight first, to go back to your first question. Turkey's out, although they're very disappointed. They've got some big players in the team, big money. I had them predicted to get nine points in this group, and they didn't. They got zero.

and so they're really disappointed. They're going to want to have a good showing tonight. For the U.S., I've heard two camps. I've heard the camp of, hey, listen, we need to rest some guys, or, hey, listen, we need to keep the momentum going into the Bosnia game. I say, just rest everybody. Just rest everybody. Get the other guys that haven't got minutes.

Make sure guys are healthy, pull us sick, right, with his path or whatever he had going on. McKinney, Tyler Adams, make sure that these guys, these primo guys, balligan, the guys who are going to need in the big moments, to make sure they're arrested. Team Ream, as he pops up on the screen. Ramer. He's like, he's one of the older guys in the tournament, not just on the team. So rest them, look past tonight. Let's just get the night done with a decent result and everyone healthy.

Yeah, but the football is definitely, let's beat turkey. Yeah, we're eating turkey sandwiches over here, Grohl. We're doing that for no reason. I don't think so. We're getting ready for the knockout stages. And hopefully our bench will showcase who the hell they are. We got a lot of known names on the bench. Like I think we will be familiar with some of the names that come on the field tonight

and they're playing. I think we've got a lot of talent on the bench as well. Taking on a team that was supposed to win the group with our bench, good spot for America to be in. Man who played six years of soccer as a child. Riley Green has a question for you, Grello. Yeah, well, I was just wondering, obviously, there's another big game tonight with Australia and Paraguay.

Who do you like there? Okay. Wow. Oh, that's the biggest game. That's the one I'm watching. Obviously, I don't know if you know what happened, Riley, with all this Australia layup talk and stuff. It just, it was kind of like started burning out like a wildfire.

But tonight's time for Australia to show it because what's happening in the new format is four points, you're in. Three points with a good goal difference you're in. Australia on three points. If they lose tonight to Pataguay by one or two, they're right on that cost line where they're getting knocked out of the tournament. And so they have to be really careful. Paraguay are no easy team. Tough guys, more experience in the team, very physical side.

Both teams will play the same way. So that's going to be the huge one moving forward to see who gets through out of it. Because by the way, remember, they qualify with Brazil, Chile, Argentina, some massive teams where Australia qualify against the, you know, lesser opponents. So that's a big one that I'm looking forward to. Nobody's resting in that game is safe to say. Yeah. No way.

No way. That's going to be firecrackers. A lot on the line. Hons. A lot on line, especially on the pitch that you know all about. Yep. What? Roll the ball out.

Let's play. Oh, yeah. That's what you're saying. Yeah, the ref is rolling the ball out. He rolls it out there. I do appreciate the way they're starting these games. I like this presentation that they're doing. Oh, it's beautiful.

And the countdown to the kickoff, like after all the anthems. Yeah, I'm happy that the countdown is on time too. Yes. You know, because sometimes stadium, countdown, TV has their own time for our sport. For theirs, the countdown two actual kickoff in the stadiums has been electric. It will continue to be filled. I assume it's only going to get more and more filled, right? As we continue to go here, we can stamp that America showed up here

and that fans showed up in a big way. This had been a successful World Cup already, right? We can already say that. Yeah, you'd have a better chance to digging in your backyard and finding an oil than finding a World Cup ticket or empty seats and moving forward in the round of 32.

It's been incredible. I wanted to get your thoughts, Pat, on Bosnia, because it says basically one out of, I think, 300 scenarios, we have Bosnia and 299 of them. So it looks like it's going to be Bosnia. Are you worried about them? Well, I'm happy it's not the 0.01% there,

0.001% that I keep seeing there in Senegal because that team flies around all this. Bosnia, I feel like we can maybe out athlete a little bit. If they were to knock out of Italy and the U.S., that would be tough for me. Bosnia blows. We don't have to worry about them for a second. Do we have to worry about them at all, Grella?

Because, I mean... Everybody's saying we got this easy road, and then everybody's talking like Bosnia is just some ass operator. They're putting ass in Bosnia to something. They got an 18-year-old who looked really good yesterday. What is the concern level for Bosnia? We know nothing about Bosnia. Yeah.

Go looked long in the tooth. And to be honest. Where is it? Where the fuck? Is it Poland area? And we play Herzegimda, too. Who? That's not it.

That's not it. It's Bosnia and Herzegovina. That was messing me up too, because I thought there was two games. And I was like, why do we have to win so many games? No, it's one country, two names. I don't know if that's correct. Yeah. Yeah, the young kid, you guys are talking about Alabegovich.

There's teams all over the place going for. years old. Hell of a goal. He scored a screamer the other day. He's a really good player. Yeah, we have to be worried about Bosnia big time. They knocked out Wales. They knocked out Italy.

They drew with Austria, who's a very good team. They drew with North Macedonia, Panama as well. So I don't know if you guys have ever been coming across Bosnians here. I live in New York. There's a lot of Bosnians here. Bosnians are tough, man. And very calculated, and they don't let you win at anything. I mean, they will take candy from a baby.

It's no problem for them. Like, they are, they are tough guys. They're calculated. They'll, they'll look at this matchup. And by the way, they've gone through the whole tournament and been like, hey, listen, we're not that good. We're older. We're not great.

We'll see what we can get. Oh, we're on a free hit. Oh, we're just playing with house money. And then they just keep on progressing. And they slapped Qatar yesterday. Right? They went into that game like, oh, yeah, Qatar. We respect them.

They're great. Boom, slap them. Get out of the way. So this is like a potential danger game. No. No. And hers de givna. I'm tired of

Bosnia because as he said it, I'm in New York, I run into Bosnians. I think I have run into a couple of Bosnians. I grew up around a lot of Bosnians

and he is 100% right. That's what I'm saying. I think I feel the aura like, oh, this is a tough bunch of here. Holy shit. They're not Australians. I love it.

That's unbelievable. You said, I feel that way about Australia. I think they're all big strapping. Right next to Serbia there, okay, underneath Croatia. We got somebody in Croatia right now.

Actually, boots on the ground. Maybe go take. a little pixie over at bosnia and herzs govina obviously russia gave him no coastline there huh no yeah that was going to be a tough fight i think croisha said and they uh they kept it they kept it they kept it there it's like alaska you know how does that whole thing come together who knows i think we're not giving it up all right you're the man grello let's go ahead and win the world cup we appreciate you so much let's do it boys yes you're the man ladies of the time it's michael grella you know back whenever there was numbers on the cars

mhm yeah of course dale three yep that's right Two, four. No doubt. Racing straps? I don't like the way he's talking about Bosnian. I don't like the way he's doing this. Brian, you ever played over there? If we lose...

In Bosnia? Yeah, and who cares? No, I haven't. Have you done any foreign shows? Yeah, we did Australia, Europe. All sure. How was it? It was great, man.

Sold out shows everywhere, man. There's rednecks everywhere. You know what? Country must be country wild, but you're saying international, brother, I'm going all the way down the continent down there. They're singing your songs everywhere. Have you ever gone to a place that doesn't speak English singing your songs?

Well, I wouldn't say doesn't speak English, but was it Montreal? They speak French. A lot of French speaking. What I noticed there was they sang the words, but my banter in between songs did not go over well. Where I've got like little things that, you know,

most shows do little jokes and messing around, they're just like... The crowdwork wasn't? But then they'd sing when you sang. That's a lot, yeah. You got to drop some French on them. Riley, come on. You know? Bonjour, sa va, sa va bien, et tu. Ah, we, we, we, and then I won't you in the worst way. And then they're like, we, we, we, we, we singing it.

Yeah. Just something for next time. I mean, I'll never go up there, but. The Montreal? Or Canada in general. Not anymore. Montreal is beautiful. I've heard great things.

I don't know if I'm going to be able to get back up there, though. Yeah. Go with Boublee. Go with Boublee. He's from it. Yeah, man. He'd get you up there. You might not make it back.

That'll boy didn't play. No, he's all right. They're cool now. That was never a thing. This was all made up. This is all a lot. I don't know. How could I make that up that Michael Boobley was going to whip your butt?

You know what I mean? I don't know how you did it, but you somehow did. That's why you're at the top, brother. You got that good brain on you and a hell of a mustache. And I'll tell you what, when I look at you, I think that, he's as cowboys a kitchen. Coming to a town near you. Tickets aren't available, though, because he's sold out.

See you next hour. Goodbye. and we're just trying to celebrate the hell out of them. I will say, starting tomorrow and then the next couple weeks, as America celebrates its 250th birthday, and as Wimbledon takes over all of ESPN, basically, we will be taking our summer break for the next couple weeks. I love it, obviously.

Get a chance to hang out with my family, which I certainly enjoy, getting a chance to kick back and relax, get a chance to think about a lot of things. You know, always a 30,000-foot view type situation whenever we have that. But I'll miss the hell out of doing this, I must say. And we cannot wait to get back. The week we get back will be massive.

We'll be live from the home run derby in Philadelphia, then the All-Star game in Philadelphia, then Espies in New York. And then I think I'll be live from the MLS headquarters just a couple of days before the World Cup final on Thursday. So next couple weeks, we'll be off. We'll be probably listening to. Well done. Nobody noticed. That's a pro. Right.

Nobody even saw it. That's cat. Nobody even saw it. Nice cowboys. Pro. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us live is a guy who's won a lot of awards, not only for his brain, but also his looks and his sound. Former Jacksonville State quarterback, ladies and gentlemen, the pride of Jacksonville, Alabama.

Ladies and gentlemen, Riley Green. Hell yeah, Riley. Nobody even saw you. I'm glad to be here. It's great to have you. Thank you for. you know, never leaving the stage during the break. You were here this whole time, and that really made us excited.

I was telling everybody we're off for the next couple weeks, and we're going to be following you around as you're on tour as you change folks, mons, because you're as cowboy as it gets and everything like that. Miles on Main Street, too, as you continue to go. He's a four-time platinum song with You Look Like You Love Me. You know that one? Bang. Oh, yeah.

Oh, that was with Ella. Yeah. Yeah. Got two songs with Ella. Don't mind if I do. What's that one sound like? what do you think it would sound like just by the title can't you just sing for as fuck

no way he's got a big show tonight you know I would sing an entire set for y'all at my show if any of you cared about country music we do legalize country music I got that jacket right here I don't know if within a hundred square miles there will be more of a celebration

of soccer than at my concert tonight and y'all are all soccer today but y'all are not going to come to the who said that we just said we'll be front row you want us to support country music or america both all in one you got to pick one it does feel like you are kind of doing both whenever you do the one two yeah it does it does feel like that especially at the concerts what covers are we playing are we playing any covers i've played in color by jamie johnson for about 12 years still do it Every show love it, yeah. Tonight may be a little Toby. Well, I'll have to do some Toby, man.

About Atlantic City. I love your version of it. Yeah, man, I appreciate that. That was the first song I recorded that I didn't write. My version is a little less like Bruce Springsteen's and more like the band. Yeah, I love that version of it, but I hate it because when I recorded that, I mean, I didn't have a record deal. I didn't have a manager or nothing. I was doing construction work still, and I went and recorded like some guy's garage.

So the production quality is awful, but people still love that song. it's hard to go back and mess with it when you record something. You know, everybody hears it that one way of it. I love that song. Yeah, we played that one in Jersey last week. How many songs you don't write that you sing? Because I learned that whenever I got really connected to one album, like first time I really connect to an entire album with somebody.

Normally it's just songs, okay? Boom, boom, boom, boom. Then I listen to an entire album. I was on a vacation. I listened to the entire thing. Yeah, Richard I tried? Okay, you're right. Never mind.

Second time that it's ever happened to me. As an adult, I did it. And then that album won the award, and there was 55 writers. And I'm like, well, who did I relate to up there? And was it one word per person? I think I learned about the business there that evening more so than anybody, because I was trying to figure out like, hey, who was speaking directly from my mind? Because I think that's a big part of songwriting or a big part of songs and everything like that.

For you, your process, it feels like you write a lot. It feels like you are a writer and somebody that enjoys the process. Yeah, I think I'd write regardless of whether they had any success with it or not. I always enjoyed that. And I didn't write with any visions of success. Like I said, I just played cover shows, and I got tired of playing the same songs every week, so I wrote some.

You know, and I was making fun of my buddies, sitting around on baseball trips, whatever it was. And now I'm mindful that me writing from where I grew up and just the values I had, my family life, and all that stuff is what got me a career. So I try to go back and I try to get inspiration from, you know, my farm in Alabama. And I write with some other great writers, you know,

But a lot of my biggest songs were songs I wrote, you know, just when I was sitting around and something hit me. You know, I wish Grandpa's never died. Worst Way, don't mind if I do. Those were, you know, all just solo rights on sitting on the farm, you know. How about tonight we may write one for America? Yeah. I like that. Called Punch.

Yeah, because that's our coach's name. Yeah. He's not American, but he said he felt American. His country roads was playing. Cover. That was a guy with long hair on the screen earlier. Yeah, it looks kind of like Russell Crow a little bit. Yeah, like today Russell Crowe.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wouldn't that be American if he was coaching this hockey? That would be. Even though he's not American either. No, he's Australian. No, but he will play Ponch, who is Americans coach in the movie when it's inevitable.

Of course. And Poncha said, we are in his broken English to the American fellas. We don't take shit. This guy has had to remind, I think, these players of who America is. This Ponch guy, I think he loves America. More to most people that I've talked to, you know. Maybe more than anyone. Yeah.

he said, I fell American when Country Roads is playing. Maybe you do a little Country Roads tonight to honor Team USA that's singing afterwards. No. You could do what? Ricky Martin Cup of Life to honor the other game. Here we go. I think maybe a little courtesy of the red, white, and blue.

You know what I mean? Just had that flag waving in the background. The soccer highlights. A soccer punch came in from somewhere in the back. Yeah. I'll be thinking about y'all when we get to that part of the show We'll be there Front row you'll see the straw

Are you coming really Did you get us tickets? Well listen you'll hear me say My daddy served in New York If you're coming then you gotta get on the singer with him But he flew a flag out in New York To the fucking day daddy Died

My brother My brother My sister and me To grow up and live happy In the land of the free Now this nation that I love Has fallen under attack A sucker punch came flying in

From somewhere in the back As soon as we could see clearly I've never had like a line of back of the singer I like this picture Can we lead up your world Like a 4th of July Who did what Uncle Sam?

name. At the top of his list. Yeah. Statue of Liberty started doing this shit. Shaking her face. That part always gets me. Yeah, me too, because Statue of Liberty's doing this one right here. She goes to be Liberty. And then all of a sudden she said listen up. Yeah. And that's what we're going to do tonight.

That's right. That'll be fun. When we go to Ray and White Join us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who's a college football Hall of Fame nominee. Yeah. Soon to be in it. Maybe right a song about that. It's College Football National Champions, Super Bowl champion,

Rodder Cup winner, ladies and gentlemen, A.J. Hawke. How are you doing, AJ? I'm doing great. Enjoying you guys trying to sneak in some song titles throughout the show. It's been a fun first hour. It has been fun. I'm glad somebody's enjoyed that. I'm glad that's been fun for someone. We've had a blast. Oh, yeah.

I was supposed to promote your music? Okay. Okay. I'm eagerly waiting September 18th. I believe when that's just me comes out, right? The next album? This guy. Out of baby. He watches film.

That's right. Yes, sir. He's a Riley greener. He's one of the greeneries. Yeah, he's a green head. He's a greener. He's a greener. He's a greener.

He believes the grass is greener. He's a Rileyack. This guy's a Rileyack. Riley, that's it. Well, what do you want to talk about? What do they call him with the Riley? For real, though, Riley, in your world, do you ever get, are people intimidated by you because you're such a big, strong, strapping lad?

I guess all of your counterparts, and they're not, there's some big guys, but there's not as many. Kenny's jacked. Son of a big. Tend he's actually very shredded. They are shredded. Stapleton.

Tim. Combs. Yeah. Zbb. We saw him. Yeah, Zbbbs shredded. He got in shape, man. He's got buffed up. But you are kind of like the Ed Hockey League of country music. You like the jacked music guy.

Well, I mean, I've always been tall. You know what I mean? You get a little bit of something. when you walk in a room and you're a little taller than everybody else, at least in my own mind. You walk in there, if you've got a little something, you know, you see somebody about your height. I remember in church when we stand up to sing,

I was always looking around, feeling like I might have been a little tougher than everybody else. Church. Blake's a big boy, right? Blake's a big boy. Trace Atkins. A big old guy, yeah. I don't know that people are intimidated, but I certainly think that being a country guy from Alabama and working out

trying to stay in shape. Like, it's got us benefits in a country music career, you know? Nobody stole my lunch money in a long time. That's good. Yeah, until Booblo came around. He also, you know, he has a cowboy hat too that gives you a couple of these.

You know, kind of gives you. So he's standing about like 7-2 where, because he's got the cowboy boots on, then he's got the cowboy hat on right here, and he takes that shit off. And it's like, he's the most handsome person on earth. You're acting now, too? I'm acting, yeah.

Yeah, speaking and intimidate, not. The only person ever met in my life that kind of got me a little bit was Sam Elliott. Oh. It was at ACM Awards four or five years ago, and he didn't even speak to me. I was like walking past him in a tight little green room and he just went, from behind his mustache. And it just like, oh, yeah, sir. That's right. I like that.

Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now. Wow. I had no idea this is going to happen. We are so pumped and thankful for. for this. A man who's synonymous with Christiana Ronaldo, who obviously got on the board. A man who has

become a global sensation after just streaming out of his room. An American Dream story, ladies and gentlemen, a man who got the first ever FIFA fan pass where he can go to any game. I think he was also handed the key to every country on Earth. Ladies and gentlemen, you've seen him stream

everywhere. I can't wait to see what he does next. Ladies and gentlemen, I shall speed. Yes, for you see. Let's go, what's up? Okay, so we're excited that you're on after a Cristiano Ronaldo. Great performance, first of all, pumped about that. But watching you take over the World Cup has been sweet. How has it been enjoying it?

And what are your thoughts thus far? I mean, so far, the World Cup has been amazing. I've never experienced something like this. Because I usually travel to the countries. But the countries that I usually travel to is all in one spot, and it's about football. So it makes everything even more fun. It brings out a whole other, whole another sport. Okay, so let's talk about that.

Do you think you've become a global sensation because of your coverage of soccer? And do you think the global world learning about your country right now has been a beautiful thing? I think you represent our country to a lot of people. Like I think whenever you go to countries, I think people see you, they think of our country,

they think of who we are. I think it's a good thing what you've done bringing the world together. Have you felt it here in America now? Of course. Of course, of course. bro, the energy in America is crazy. It's actually insane.

Just though, I call it football. You keep saying soccer, but where I'm from, we call it football. No, no. I just want to correct your little tone. Hey, aren't you from Ohio? I'm from Ohio, Portugal. I'm from Ohio, Portugal. Oh, hey.

Hey, I got different roots. Okay, sorry, football. Okay, let's talk about football, okay, Ohio, Portuguese. I show. speed. America looks very good. Obviously, you're pulling for Christianano to get a World Cup. Everybody's judging him alongside of that. Messy's playing phenomenal. The stars are outrageous. But USA, very good. How do you feel about our chances? And what do you think as we can move into the knockout stage? Look, listen, listen, the USA actually got a good chance. Like I watch football.

I got a lot of experience watching football. And USA looks good out there. And I'm being, and that's coming from the bottom of my heart. They look like one of the best teams out there. Okay. So we're going to win it. Is that what you're saying? Well, I think Renato's going to win it, but USA, I think USA will get far. I think USA will get far. Okay, let's talk about Ronaldo.

Obviously, he scored, huge deal, because everybody else had scored, except for him. Okay, right? We all felt the pressure. Did you feel the pressure speed? I think you probably felt the pressure a little bit. It was getting a little hot. As a Ronaldo fan,

like, we needed that game. I was like, yo, he got to show up this game. He got to show out. He got to. And he answered. actually didn't answer and he delivered. He almost got the hat trick. He got two goals, but A, that's good enough, man.

Okay, so tell me about the world becoming a big time. Messy is the goat fan. It feels like speed. Don't you feel that? It feels like everybody's kind of all in now that Messi is the goat. Do you think it's because Hattrick currently? Then two, and then he plays from Miami. Do you think that is why, or do you think that's a legit case now?

I don't, I mean, listen, at least, everybody has their subjective opinion. They think it's, you can ask anybody. It's either Messi or Ronaldo. It's like, hey, are you left-hidden or the right-handed? Oh, I'm right-handed. Me personally, I'm right-hitting. I'm a Renato fan. And obviously, people who's like, I mean, like, Messi, yes,

Messi's good. That's why he's getting compared to Ronaldo. That's why it's a Renato messy debate. But when it comes to skill and when it comes to my own analytics, and when I watch a player play, I think Renato is better. Yeah, you like the high, you like all the, you like the antics. Yeah, it's like, it's just a, so, like, it's like, It's like energy.

Yeah, and he's shredded at 41, much like you're head off. Absolutely shredded. So you're 21 years old, right? Is that accurate? Yeah, I'm 21. I feel like we've known you for a hundred years. Yeah, it's crazy. Okay, it feels like you're one of the greatest athletes to ever exist.

Can you tell me, like, a little bit about your history in sport before you became just a person that people watch you do everything? Well, I mean, I wasn't always, I wasn't say I was always a sports kid. I was just always active. You know, like, you know how I'm active now. I'm always doing it. Like, I'm traveling, playing football, I'm wrestling. I'm in WWE. You see me competing in every other different sports, dancing.

I was just always an active kid and just an active teenager growing up. You know, obviously I played in some sports. But I felt like just me being always, just moving my body, just allowed me to make content in so many different ways. And I'm blessed to have a body like this. and I'm blessed to be able to use my body like this. Yeah, you're outrageously athletic, I would say. Outrageously athletic.

And I think, you know, at the beginning, everybody wanted to see athletic for a streamer, athletic for a streamer, and then you do a backflip at the heights in which you do it. And then you race people that are like Olympic athletes, and then you're able to compete in every single sport. And then you're also able to go off the top rope, turn that song bitch sideways through the commentator's table. I mean, you're a special athlete speed, special athlete. WWE might be the right home for you too.

What's next for that? Do you have anything set up? I mean, yeah. Oh, not supposed to break news, maybe. Maybe not supposed to break news? Maybe not supposed to say anything. I just got a call. But no, I mean, yeah, I mean, like, WWE, it's...

I mean, like, it makes sense. I generally think at some point in my career, I will take WWD a bit more serious and actually able to, like, deliver my full self into it and immerse myself into it. But right now I'm still figuring out what I really want to do, you know? I think you're figuring it out, but I think you're doing just fine. You show up in another fucking country,

and then every person that lives in that country shows up to see you. Okay? And we saw the effect of you when we went to the World Cup game. We were sitting, like, let's say, two sections over here, and then you showed up lower level, and everybody that was in that lower level, turned and looked at this man. Okay, just everybody was just screaming. I legitimately had no idea who was. I was excited to see who was. I looked down. He has full Captain Morgan pose on a chair

with an entire fucking group around him. I'm like 21 years old kid runs the world. Good for you Speed. Good for you speed. Go ahead. Thank you. Thank you. No problem. Go ahead, AJ. Yes, speed is there, you said you're trying to figure out, I guess, what you really want to do. Is there anything you haven't done yet that's on the list? I don't know, like power slap, something like that. Something that really out there. I haven't done. I mean, there's a lot of stuff that I haven't done. You got to think about how many think it is at doing the world. Yeah, true.

But that's a guy. That's right. Fuck this guy. You didn't have a clue. Yeah, come on. Wake up, Paul. Jesus. Dude, no idea.

No idea. There's a lot. And you get power flat. Yeah, well, there's a chance. We don't know. Yeah, you never know. They don't know what you're in a big streamer event. What is the next thoughts, though?

What are the day-to-day plans? Do you think about like next big stunt? Do you think about next big trip? How often are you now at this stage? Because I assume at the beginning. flying by day to day. Let's figure out what we're doing, we're doing, we're doing. Now you've gotten to this huge spot.

How much are you preparing? I mean, now it's like every day. You know, like back then it was just like, I wake up, I do it a little bit, you know? Okay, I think going out, I do it, nah, da, nah. But it's like, it's way more, like, less, like, it felt more like of, like I was just doing it.

But now it's like, I'm really, I'm really, really locked in. You know, like, I'm waking up every day, and I'm on it because, like, it's different now. You know, I'm like, I'm not a kid anymore. I'm a grown adult. I have other responsibilities that I also have to do in order for me to keep going with my career. So it's like I got to be able to handle both and judge both because I'm an adult now. And if I want to keep going, then I got to stay focused.

Congrats. You're good. Okay, everything looks good. Congratulations on being able to handle that all in such a public way. You know, we've obviously watched you do everything. I don't know if I've seen you take a shit, but I think there is everything else in your life. I've seen you fucking do everything.

I mean, at one time I was seeing you, sleep at one point. I mean, that was why you didn't. So you haven't. You haven't shown us taking shit. Okay, that's good. I didn't know what the line was. Okay, maybe that's something to do in the world that you can potentially do later in this life.

But we have watched you, obviously, throughout the last couple years, take over the world. You should be incredibly proud of yourself, man. Good luck out there. Keep going. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Seriously, thank you. We'll see it every World Cup game as the United States of America wins this thing.

Yeah, and you're going to be happy about it. Yeah, you're going to be pumped for him. We're seeing. We're seeing. Wait, Pat, I got a question. You kept back to me about Renato Messi. What about you? What do you think about Renauder Messing? Well, so for me, there's a guy that's about this. Now, I was a Christiana Renato guy. I must say for a long time. I like how hard he hit it. I like all the shit. I like all the shit. Then there was an opportunity to come to America or take a billion. million dollars to play. Both the guys, I think God offered that. And one of the guys came to

America, and I said, okay, I'll take it. I'll keep an eye on Lou Messi down here, the new American, Lou Messi, who we think should be playing for USA, but that's a whole other conversation, I guess. You're from Ohio, Portugal. He lives in Miami, Florida, America. And that is currently happening as we speak. And then I've watched him sell out every stadium here. I've watched him turn people into soccer fans, and then he gets a hat-trick first game of World. All right. Get to the point, man. Just say your answer. You're like, Scrabbling, scrabble, scrambling, scrambling, and flipping eggs. Just serve the dish.

Let's hear it. I like my eggs messy, baby. And they are unbelievable. They are unbelievable, speed. That is how I feel. He just always delivers this guy. Always delivers. And him walking, I think I like the most, too, just kind of casual.

So I apologize for disagreeing with that. But good luck the rest of the way, Speed. We appreciate you. All right, thank y'all. Appreciate you, man. You too. Ladies and gentlemen, that's how to speak. Yeah, Sby.

Hey, AJ, maybe not embarrass us next time, okay? There's a lot to do in the world. Way to go. There is a lot to do you, right? You know, we have seen them do a lot. Yeah. Never going to come back on again now. Thanks a lot, Hawk.

We had no idea that was actually going to happen. No, no. That was really cool. The idea was floated into Thunderdome. Hey, would you? Yeah. Definitely. Yeah.

If I can watch that guy. everything. I love to get up with him. Like, all right, he's coming on. Had no interaction with him beforehand. Just was told by somebody that he's coming on. And then Mitt back there, Speed's on. Need more speeds here?

Speed's on, dude. I was so surprised. That was a good, that was a great surprise. Do you know anything about speed? Do you have any idea how many things are already doing the world? That's my favorite part of the show. That's a great answer. Kids got a good answer. I've seen him do a lot of stuff.

I don't know what, I don't know what his thing is, but he does a lot of stuff. Everybody knows it, man. He just lives. It's quick. So, Wiz, Khalifa, he streams on tour, I think, at this point, right? He's streaming. It feels like more and more people are streaming. What's it called when the kids watch somebody play Nintendo?

Twitch. Yeah, that's big. Oh, yeah. Huge. Yeah. I don't know if it's Nintendo. Well, yeah, I mean, I'm just saying, like a game, you know, they're on Nintendo. You a big video game guy?

No. You big technology guy? I got a cell phone. That's pretty big. What do you do? I don't want to give it away. I don't want to give it away. We'll face time this guy, though.

We'll act like this. We're super cool because we can FaceTime him. And he's fucking just out in the middle of nowhere, somewhere, always trying to kill something. Never has service. Ever, never has service. Always in super cool-looking places, though. But normally not with a big group.

Normally pretty kind of, is that hobby for you, getting away, going doing super country stuff? As Cowboys and Gids out there? Man, he's got to take it so far. I feel like doing what I do for living. and it'll make anybody a little reclusive. You know, I get a little stingy with my time. My driveway at my farm in Alabama is about a mile long,

and I get back in there and hide out, you know, not much service. Feels like you do that everywhere, though. Yeah. Yeah, I like it, man. When I get a little time off, I try to hide out, and then you call me, FaceTime me. Yeah, I need to. Catch up with you.

Just need to say, hey, I got a question. Am I wrong here? And I need to see the reaction. The cold FaceTime's. I think when I'm dead, people will say it's something that is. is synonymous with me. You answering when you do, always big pop out of the Thunderdome.

You can know that. Yeah. Big pop. We're big fans. I always like to see your name pop up on there. I don't ever know what you, and you know what, the calls that I don't like

get into the ones where you know somebody needs something, and you don't ever want anything. You're just like, hey, he just starts smiling when he sees me. He's like, what's up? Sometimes he didn't even say anything.

Well, that's because I'll see a new video about something. And then he'll just quote my song. or sing a little bit of worse way. That's right, because I'll see some video on the internet telling me that you're in the middle of some. Crazy drama. I just want to see if you're all right.

Yeah, are you okay? And usually that's like, yeah. I probably didn't know about it. Yeah. I have been the messenger to a couple things that have happened before in his love life apparently allegedly. Yeah. And that's a fun time.

Everybody's looking at your love life like every move you make. But that's good. Yeah, man, you figure out who I'm dating on the internet right now, you know? And it'd be a surprise to all of us. Thanks for telling him, yeah. I don't know. We'll see. Check it out.

He's looking. Yeah. Shakira. Wow. Dude. That's cool. Wow. You're hipster on life.

She said the same game the other day. Were you there? Maybe. Actually, A.S.A. It's currently believed that you're single is what AIS. Congratulations. I got Melissa McCarthy. Love her.

She's married, though, to that guy. Yeah, I know. Ben Falcone. I don't know who that is. Delmec? Melissa McCarthy. You better. woman on her. I just call her Mel Mac.

Okay. No, I don't know that it. Mel Mac, but if you're acting, you're going to be crossing past with her soon. Yeah. One of the goats. It's the last day of the show for a while, but certainly for the week. And we like to kind of round things up for the week that we like and things that we don't like and things that need to be celebrating, things that need to be reminded. Okay. It's kind of a wrap-up of sorts. Is there anything specific? I need to do anything specific here?

Yeah, have a good time. We need good energy. because ladies and gentlemen, it's time for five. This guy's bleeding. I'm bleeding over it. I was on a bulldozer yesterday, and my elbow sits on that little thing, and it was just a cat.

It's a cat, man. Come on now. Well, we're John Deer guys here, but yeah, if you're going with those, there's got to be a cat. I'm a cat, man. I'm sure all of your tractors over here. Maybe that should be your son.

I'm a cat, man. Do you ever. on stage? No. You should. It's cool. And we can ride a little version of I'm a cat man to play tonight. Yes. You get up there and y'all have like a choreograph dance in the background. You bring the truck up? The bulldozer up there. You got a backhoe too or just a dozer? I got a excavator. I'm getting a skid steer, a D8, high track big dozer. I got a D3. He's digging holes and shit? You doing anything? Just doing it? I just bought 1100 acres across the road from my farm and we're digging lakes.

over there and clearing roads around it. Oh, we got trails? We got trails? Oh, yeah, man. Come on. Hey, I like you what you country folks do for a good time. I do. I enjoy it. I'll get out there in the sticks with you guys. I'll do the wang-w-w-w-wram-wum-wum. We'll get a little trip and take Rich Rod down there and we'll take you around the farm. Oh, yeah.

I used to let him go out there and recruit a little bit. You know, if he had somebody come in to, you know, Jackson, Alabama, a lot of kids from down the south are Riley Green fans. So I'd say, man, take them over to my farm if you need to, you know, that last little push. And then you come out and say, go to Jack State? No. What's the thing we do about what we're happy about and all that? Oh, yeah, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for five things that aren't ass. Yes.

It's a recap of about five things from the week in the sports world that we think should be talked about is not being ass, Riley. Does that make sense? It does. Yeah, like jams. Well. Not ass. Well, set. Boom.

That's lost. Holy shit. That is. Yeah, you get it. Yeah. You understand. Okay, well, let's go to Athletics Outfielder. Okay, his name's Colby Thomas.

This man is going to rob a home run and break his back. Love the commitment, love the catch. Are the athletics in Vegas yet, and is that a good sign what's happening? No, they're not in Vegas yet. That stadium is being built right now. Best part about that, though, is when on the zoom in, you can see he has a massive chaw. And right when he hits that, there's a good chance.

He swallowed and gutted quite a bit of that spit. Yeah, I mean, that's one of the best catches you're going to see all year, without a doubt. And painful, and potentially you're saying maybe he had to swallow those something, maybe puking in the next inning if he had to. Yeah, but judging by the size of his chaw, he's got a baseball in there. That guy ain't no stranger to gutting some chaw. All right, shout out to Colby Thomas. Riley, that right there? That's not ass.

That's the most for sure was gone, Rob. I could have seen some that were like, was it going to hit the top of the wall. you know, that one, that one's out. Yeah, you're right. Completely gone. You know what it is ass? What was the field that had the thing in the center that went up a hill a little bit? Remember that?

No, that was Astros, yeah. That was ass. That did not work. Whoever's idea that was. That was like an extended wall? No, there was like a legitimate hill. There was a little, you don't remember that? With a little hill.

I believe there was a light pole actually in the middle of that. Yeah, it was like. Oh, no, that's ass. It was like the train tracks on Brewster's millions are going across the middle of the field. Okay, of course. Of course, that's a good ball. That's a good ball right there. You know what else is an ass as we stay in baseball?

17-year-old Rocco Mancoco, Paizano, 97 miles an hour in his work. You see that? You're fucking out. You hit that ball down third baseline. Pisano, Rocco is going to zoom gun you out. Is this normal? I don't know if this is normal. I wouldn't say it's normal, but there are, I mean, this kid will probably be a very high pick in the MLB draft.

And it just said, hey, you know what? you ain't going to have to worry about this guy's arm strength. He can play shortstop. He could play third base. He's obviously flashing the leather a little bit too. But yeah, throwing 97 miles an hour from short to first. That's pretty impressive. Riley, did you see that?

I would have liked to have seen a couple more pads. You know, if you can throw it that hard, why not? Give him about four. You know what I mean? Oh, you're saying he should have pimped that a little bit of that. Yeah, why not? You can throw it like that, yeah. You play baseball growing up?

Yeah. What position? I pitched and played a little bit of second and short until I hit a gross spurt, and I played third. Because they want you down there. I couldn't get down there. It was too far away.

Hot corner, Hot corner. Yeah. They want you down there to hot alley. You're the only person that I've seen, Celebrity, sing yourself to the batters box with this fan of bananas and then get on bass.

That was sick. That was on not at things that aren't asked. Yes, it was. Was it? Yes. Nice, swear to God. Are you okay, by the way?

Is your neck all right? Is that? No, I just, you know what? This thing's like caught on this one side. I feel like, listen, do you want me to look at you or the screen? No, listen, just be as careful.

Thanks for talking about me on the show, man. Wouldn't the cowboy kind of have a little, you know what I mean? Yeah, he would. A little trick in his neck. It wouldn't be a lot of, yeah. Bo leg. Yeah. You know, the toughest thing about that was I had to sing a song.

Yeah. And then take the guitar, put a helmet on and get straight in the batterers. But there was no like get your mind right moment. You know, it was. Did you play the guitar at the batting gloves on or no? No, and also their batting gloves now. I don't know if you all this. I saw.

Well, they got a strap like a exercise. It had to. It took me forever to get them on. I would say this. Nailed the singing. Yeah. Okay. Walking, singing, dancing, routine.

You do take guitar off a lot because, you know, I think, you know, I'm going to You made a bat with the guitar on. What are you? No, but I'm saying, you are very comfortable, I think, taking that duck man fucking thing off. You do the duck man thing off. You do a lot of guitar changing. So you're taking that guitar off after Savannah, banana, and yourself right in there, and then grabbing that bat.

the hit nobody gets a hit no all the ex-MLB stars go and it's fan of bananas everybody thinks it's a big joke it's like these guys are former pitchers in college like they have to be able to throw strikes or whatever guys fly out guys strike out guys hit to a place never make the first base

you getting a hit after singing yourself up there I think that's certainly not ass and worthy of the celebration yeah without a doubt and if I remember correctly like you I mean you you went right back up the middle base hit it wasn't like it was like a little blooper a little C nice stretch people were not it was a little Blue Blue. I mean, I got past the pitcher and snuck up the middle.

But it got into the outfield, right? Yeah, I had to change my strategy. I had to spread out and put it in play. That first one got on me pretty quick. I was playing at the first pitch, and I just, I was like, okay. I mean, spread out a little bit. Yeah. But you know, my college football coach, Jack Crow, used to always say, players make plays. That's true. Bingo. When a guy didn't make the catch in the last fourth down and fade into the end zone, he said, well, the guy was holding me. He said, players make plays, man. when the odds are against you. You know?

You did it with fan bananas, bro. I'll just get out there and... Yeah, you do it. Players make play. I will tell you this. I ran all the way to the right field umpire. Because I couldn't stop. I felt like Bo Jackson, honestly.

I was like, I don't want to pull up too quick. I was going so fast. De-sell the quads. Yeah. That's a smart idea. You're not pulling a hamstring, getting a hit and playing yourself up there, not ass.

Also, not ass. Let's go to indoor lacrosse. We knew this was happening for sure. Uh-huh. Hey, look at Kazi here. Who's running with the thing. Uh, hey, goalie. dip shit.

This is the snowball equivalent of throwing it straight up into the air, having the idiot look that way, and then pelting one right in the mouth. What a play. We need this more. And what is this league? Is this normal combat? Yeah, this is just junior bees in Alberta, like you mentioned. The indoor is kind of the winter game.

Interesting. They're playing it right now. But this is just classic Canada. I mean, you see this kid doesn't even switch hands. He's ready the whole way. He even catches it ready. Boom. See you later.

Goal. this should be in the Olympics. Now that I have seen it and know what the game is like and you can use the wall like this, hopefully they implement this immediately and also that goalie. Wake up!

AJ Hawk, this is not ass. It does look like an amateur goalie against a professional player, though. Yeah, it does comment. Is this normal boxed across? It's what it feels like. Was this like professional? No, no, it is normal box to cross.

I think these are younger lads. I think this is kind of like a U-18 type league, not professional, but probably on the way. That goalie was not moving. Is it legal? Hey, if he throws the ball off the plexiglass there, he catches, I can annihilate that, dude, when he jumps in the air to get the ball. Yeah, if he could hit him for sure, especially if you're the goalie.

Unfortunately, it looks like that goalie was asleep when he first threw it off the wall. I think that goalie plays another position. Their goalie didn't show up. He was forced in there. The other team realized it, embarrassing him. I don't know if I love that or hate that, but I certainly appreciate a little bit of sauce in the junior B league up there in Canada. Okay, let's go to golf.

go to a major. You know, they have amateurs playing in his majors. 17-year-old Miles Russell has his dad caddy for him down the 18th Fairway. Got it approved by the USGA. Obviously, it is Father's Day. His dad and he, I couldn't even imagine the amount of range time,

amount of course time, amount of time on the road. Getting a chance to do this was obviously sentimental moment. Not ass at all, Conrad. Yeah, not ass at all. I believe there's a story about when he was like 12 years old. His dad basically was giving him strokes and then he kicked his ass and his dad said like, all right, That's it. We're not doing that anymore.

But I mean, this is one of those moments where it's cool that the USGA let this happen. We've heard how strict they are and all the stuff that they haven't done. I mean, to be able to do this at the U.S. Open 2 on Father's Day, that is kind of like a one-of-one experience. You wonder how many people have ever been able to do that. Yeah, because it's not the same old song. No. No, this is a different one. No.

You know? And everybody can say my first ever thing. And this was Miles Russell's first major. Yeah. And his dad got a chance to be a part of it. I love that. Man everything. Don't you think so?

I think on Father's Day, they should, your father has the caddy for you. That would be cool. Because then you start talking about the competitor, you got you pop in shape before the big tournament comes up. You know what I mean?

Yeah. That's not a bad, don't mind if I do. I think maybe the PGA would say. There's a scooter rascals out there if they can't. Yeah, whatever we've got to do. Yeah, and if you get them off of the lake,

you can have some real problems. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. That's where Windham's dad came from off the lake. And some would wonder, you know, some dads have a good time. Is it too early to drink or should I pick a place way out of you? Let's go to number two, whatever it is.

All right. Let's go to another thing that isn't. I was just rolling right through the album there. Don't mind if I do, available October 18, 2024 there for Riley Green. You know what's not ass at all? Getting legends not only in the studio but also on the microphone, but also with a little bit of down. Boom. Lexi Lulles, I think, to be clear, he did try to dance it off, walk it off.

I think he would have had that, though. So Lexi Lollis, American Legend, 60 years old, been on TV. since 1994 every single day of it talking about the United States of America's soccer. I think you would have had it. Tieri-enri and Slotan go absolutely crazy in studio during the downtime. And they just showcase a bit of elite world-class skill. It has the world talking. I think it has like $54 million just on X or whatever the case is.

And yeah, it's all filthy, Ty, to watch as we try to have a kick about daily. Yeah, without a doubt. The first time I saw this, I thought it was AI. I really did. I mean, I obviously know how incredible both of these guys. are, but I saw it, and I was like, oh, yeah, this is a cool little commercial that they're doing to promote the World Cup, probably really quick, you know, just quick AI ball tactics and whatnot. And then I watched it about 100 more times, and I said, oh, no, these guys, you tend to maybe

forget when you see them in the suits. Like, both these guys were fucking nasty at football. And the most nasty thing I'd seen in the video, now a lot of people said Zlatan one. This Latan has a lot of fans, and Zlatan is obviously a special talent. Tierra Henri is a man that I obviously fancied growing up. as number 14 as well. This move right, ah, that one, that one seemed pretty filthy to me, but hey, all of this and putting this out and America welcoming these guys. Yeah, loving it. In a huge way, I think is certainly not ass tone dig. Yeah, for a while, when I first started

watching this, I was only looking at the ball and the feet, and I thought it was us having a kickaboot. Yeah. Only did I, when I'd watch their faces, I realize it wasn't us. But it's incredible It's not us at all. I thought it was. It might be Riley. Riley, when's the last time you had a soccer kick of boat? It's been a long time, man. Like 20 years.

And that's like my way or your way? Whose way? I think he's drunk. I think he's kind of the thing about it. You stopped even trying to make them work at this point. They're working. That's September 18th, 2020. And ladies gentlemen, number one thing that isn't asked today.

Way out here. Album, the 2024. Let's go to the next thing that is not asked at all. He's advertising an album that came out in 2024. Remember, I learned about one of your songs. What, a year you said? If you want to give us the songs off the next album, we'll do it with that. Yeah, because I'm looking at it right now, and I think as you drunk, obviously, he's a single thing.

Well, if I was going to promote anything, I do have an album coming out September 18th. Thank you, AJ. That's just me. That's just me. Because people will say, like, hey, how do you do something? You say, I do something, but you don't expect others to do it. You just say, That's just me.

How many songs? That's just me, yeah. 19 songs, yeah. Wow. I'm looking at this. My Way is the first song right there, so he's going to let you know. Not your cover? How many is you right?

I think I may have not written two. Damn. Okay. That's a good percentage. Yeah. Hi, clip. You won't fucking tell us any of the names. I'll send you.

It says My Way, trust you? I'll send you all a sneak peek of it. Is it done? It's done? It's done? Sign sealed deliver. Yeah. Let's put it out on July.

last fourth then. I think I'm putting a song out next week too. Oh, hell yeah. What's the name? Go again. I haven't announced it yet. Oh, here we go. We'll dump that.

We'll dump that. We'll dump that. I don't care. Go again. I don't care. Yeah. I mean, let's go again to the things that aren't asked.

Yeah, let's do it. Now that we know that that is an official song. Hey, I like that. Here we go again. Sophie Cunningham, obviously sticking up for her teammate has become a meme, a sensation, and also a perfect response. You lady, you, you lady, you, former player of this fever team starting a little bit of shittier.

I just want to let you know I got you, you. There's alternate versions or angles of this as what, boom, boom, has become a meme all over the internet. Sophie Cunningham also not only a star of the Indiana fever, brought in to potentially protect Caitlin Clark, which is another big storyline today. As Stephanie Whitehead coach of the fever has come out and said she's sick of it, which we certainly appreciate all that.

Sophie also on the 30 poster from WMBA. Yeah, yeah. okay everybody's super pumped about that i'm pumped for sophy we appreciate sophy we are big fans of sophy around here her being on the poster nobody's happy about well i don't know if it's necessarily what's that all about why is everybody not happy about so i'm okay i'm okay with sophy we like sophy there was an admission yeah i mean a couple of them i guess you know yeah yeah exactly i mean we we don't need to keep doing it because this is all we talk about when it comes to the w which i think in part is why kately clark is you know getting her throat punched every night and getting her hair

pulled and getting thrown down and shit like that. But she should be on this fucking thing. I mean, let's, you know, let's call a spade of spade here. Okay, she should be on the, on the little poster that they're trying to sell. A little poster. It's a history poster. Don't have Diane Tarasi on there? Yeah.

Okay, which feels like a pretty big name in the history of women's week. I don't see Rebecca Lopo. Okay, Sophie Cunningham is on there. We are happy for Sophie. We're happy for all the athletes that are on here. But yeah, the Caitlin Clark Commission stuff with everything that else is happening. It feels stupid. It feels intentional almost.

But it feels stupid, too. Like, hey, come on. Let's not be dumb here. Hey, we live here in Indianapolis. This lady, Caitlin Clark, has changed our economy here. Change the buildings. Change downtown. Let's continue to build on that. Let's not. Throat, are we throat punching? It kind of feels like it. It can do whatever they want. No call. At all. Coming from the top. It's coming from the league. Not coming from Kathy. I don't like it, Riley. That is ass. But you know what is an ass?

This one, right here. You lady. Would you rather be on the poster or the scoreboard? You know what I mean? Scoreboard. That's right. But she's always on the scoreboard though. Win the game.

So she should be on the poster too. You would think so, yeah. Yeah. Okay, so you think so, too? Okay. Yeah, I think so. Is there a song about that in the new one? I think so.

I fucking think so. Well, thank you all for tuning in today. Show's not over yet, but he's certainly getting close. You can tell we're near. our summer break. Last thing that isn't asked. Yesterday I had to give away $50,000, Riley. I don't know if you know this. At the end of each show, I was committing to kicking a soccer ball into the basketball hoop yesterday after A.J. Hawk gave a motivational speech, boom. Bang! And you did it? Yeah. Let me see it again. Okay, run it. Yeah. Let's go again.

Let's run it back. Let's run it back. Go again. Go again. No brain trauma there. That's impressive. Thank you. That's not ass. That's not ass at all. And ladies and gentlemen, it's It's the end of the week and those were... And that was five things that aren't as... Served up pretty fast. Do something sweet will raise our lives! That was Timmy in the back.

That was good. That was D-Bone. Guy dressed like a dick. That's how he sounds singing. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now for for a weekly wrap up with Rapsheet and friends, us being the friends, he'd be in Rapsheet, ladies and gentlemen, golf pundit and analyst,

Ian Rappapore. Yeah, Rappaport. How you doing on? Hey, what's up, Junior? So you got to do a little golf today, just like senior last year, what happened? Yeah, it was fun. Did a little PGA tour live, me and Robert Damron,

my esteemed colleague who was much better than me. And yeah, walked like 10 holes with me, Russell Henley and Cam Young, and it was great. Wow. Had an absolute guy. Okay, what you learn out there? I know you're a big-time golfer. You love getting out there, swinging the sticks. What did you learn out there from watching the actual pros play golfers, maybe yourself?

They are playing a different game, my friend. I mean, and I'm not to say because they hit it farther, which obviously they do. Like, they are thinking of things that I do not even think of and hitting shots where I would want to kick the lie a little bit and put it out in the fairway, which, of course, I would never do. Ultimate respect for those guys. It was a lot of fun. A lot of football fans out there as well amongst the peoples.

It was great. I had a blast. I'm happy they let me do it. Yeah, I'm thankful you got a chance to do it, too. We know how much you love golf. And yeah, I'm happy the golfers aren't trying to fluff their lives in a PGA tournament. Wake up. What a doof.

Let's keep you away from that. Let's let Senior do that way. Let's keep Junior away from it all. Okay, Rep. Let's talk about the NFL. New story came in. I guess that's been brewing for months and months now. I guess there was an investigation.

This sounds really bad up in Detroit for Terriott Arnold, who we have obviously seen play incredible football. I think he was about to be up for a massive deal. Now there's four counts of kidnapping and four counts of something else he's staring down. This seems very, very, very serious. Can you tell us and give us the update? And did this come out of nowhere? Because Foxy set up in Detroit, maybe there was some chatter about this.

over the last couple months. Yeah, first of all, it's armed robbery and kidnapping are among the charges. I don't know that we have the full list of charges yet. And you're right. For Terry and Arnold, you know, this is something that's been brewing. It feels like multiple months, maybe even more than a year. And essentially what this was is people close to him were accused of a robbery. Basically, he allegedly got, you know, hundreds of thousands of dollars of stuff, jewelry,

whatever, stolen, and then, you know, allegedly as revenge, this act happened. Now, he had, you know, they had been investigating people close to him for some time, and the word was, well, okay, he wasn't involved. He hadn't been charged. Then it seems, and according to a statement from his now publicist Denise White, some of those are arrested and basically turned state's evidence against him, and now we're trying to testify this is from again his publicist Denise white and so I don't know what the results going to be but this is as serious as it gets it's going to be taken as such you know I don't know enough right now to know whether or not he's going to go on the commissioner is exemptless but when the charges come

if the charges come and if it's still unresolved when football is getting close certainly that would be a home that would make sense for him you hope he's innocent hope none of this is true it's pretty alarming. Yeah, definitely alarming, very serious whenever I read it, and my first thought was like, oh, no, this is not good, because obviously anytime football has a chance to change people's lives, we hope people will take advantage of that, anything negative associated with the NFL,

don't love that because there's so many players doing amazing things. But as we were reading through that this morning, I think we all had the same reaction, like, oh, shit, this feels huge, but then his people have come out and said there's no evidence that links him to any of this. will obviously keep our ear to the ground as this unfolds. This is a very good player for a very good team up there in Detroit. And I think Lions fans super bummed out about this.

Everybody's bummed out. But Lions fans, I think you guys heard a little bit about this. Is that not accurate? Yeah, there's been rumblings for months. And from a football perspective, Brian Branch is out with his Achilles injury. Kirby Joseph has that rogue knee injury that I can't find out. And now we don't have Terri on Arnold. I mean, that secondary is very weak right now, so not good for the Lions.

So let's move along here in the NFL world. There's another conversation that's brewing. Go ahead, Ty. Yeah, Rapsheet. Is there any update on Brandon I.U.? He's still technically a member of the 49ers, but he basically came out and said, like, hey, go commanders. Go commanders.

I want to play for the commanders. It seems like every time he releases like a video on Instagram or something, he just has to put his foot further and further down his mouth. At this point, are any teams going to actually want him if his whole situation is resolved with the 4th? And what's it going to take to resolve the situation with 49ers? You know, I think time. So a couple of things here.

You know the term like when someone says the quiet part out loud? That's kind of like what he did. Like we all were sort of like, oh, you know, there's going to be interest from the commanders. And I think we've known that for some time. He literally was like, when I get released, I'm signing with the commanders. You know, and I think, I don't know this. But what I think is that the idea is you create enough noise, enough negative publicity. become so toxic that the 49ers will go, okay, like, I am just, I can't deal with this anymore.

I'm tired of the headlines of former 49ers receiver. I'm just going to cut him. They seem to not want to. And the fact that he has already identified his next landing spot, my guess is would make them probably angrier. I think it's just going to be time. But, man, this has gotten, this has gotten weird. And I couldn't agree more. Like, every time he opens this mouth, you're just like, oh, my God, like more.

of this, like just more, you know? Yeah, the squeaky wheel gets the oil, but this wheel has been squeaky for a while and seemingly no oil or no kind of end in sight. If he ends up with the commanders, we'll be excited for him, obviously, because he's an incredible talent. But boy, there's been a lot

of wasted money and seemingly time here that hopefully could have been settled or will get settled ASAP. But I think Ayuk's saying, it's ain't my last rodeo, you know? As he's saying, this ain't my last rodeo, and damn country music got me kind of in my feelings little bit talking about where he's trying to get to, and they don't make them like that anymore,

you know, no more at least, is kind of what I've realized, and maybe they might never made them like that ever, and never again, especially with how this is all gone with the Niners. Riley Green has a question for your rap sheet. He put out, ain't my last rodeo on October 13, 2023, available right now. And it's a little different round here, ain't it? Ain't it, Riley? Yeah. When have you ever seen a tactic like bad-mouthing a team? team or talking about another place you want to be when you're still in a contract with a team workout for anybody ever. That's a good question.

I have been thinking quite a lot about this. It just never happens because usually you have people close to a player. Let's say Brandon Ayuk in this case where you say, listen, if you just kind of be quiet, this is going to be okay. Just don't be the guy that everyone, you know, is annoyed with all. And he does not seem like is listening to people close to him at all. has not been for some time. And remember, he got his money,

his guaranteed money taken away by the 49ers, and to my knowledge, didn't fight it. Would not let anyone fight for it. Just said, screw it. He said, ain't my damn to give, I guess. I mean, just like the fact that he...

Good morning, New Mexico. Crazy. The IUC situation is insanity, but if he gets on the commanders, what are we all saying? Good job. Man, Jaden's about to go crazy. They'll have a parade.

They'll have a parade for him over there. He's a good play. He's healthy. Still a good player. It's just hard to see that from whatever this is. Okay, there's other stuff obviously happening around the league that is allegedly being reported nowhere close. Go ahead, Tone. Yeah, Rapp.

Jerry Duleck of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, been a longtime Steelers insider reporter. Kind of hinted that the Steelers and Joey Porter Jr. are not close on a number for an extension right now. Joey Porter Jr. hasn't given up a touchdown since week eight of 2023 and he's in top 10 of completion percentage when they throw at him. So he kind of deserves that money. He wants that money. But have you heard anything on this at all? That is essentially what I've heard. Now, you know, the Steelers have had a couple, you know, a couple big contracts extensions, couple on the edge. I would expect maybe maybe another one at some point either the summer, before the season.

I just don't like, if he's going to get paid, it's going to be top of the market. Now, you know, how close to top of the market? Is he going to get, I don't know. But like sometimes these take a little time. I try not to get all worried about the timing of it because really the only thing that matters is, does he get one before the season or not?

Yeah. Now, if he does have one before training camp, if he shows up, then it's like, okay, the next target is in the two or three. three or four days before the season, but I would agree. I mean, he is a great player. He's the kind of guy you build around, and, like, you know, obviously should be a priority keep around for years to come.

Yeah, he's raised up, right? You know, we know that Joe Pore Sr. He's an absolute dog. We appreciate everything about what his family has done and brought to Pittsburgh. And, you know, you can't help but be like, ain't like I can hide. I like the guy. Yeah. You know, I'm big fan.

I got a chance to meet him at the draft. And it's been an absolute blast. And when you talk about my last rodeo, it was in 2017. That was my last rodeo. My last punt got blocked. We might be seeing somebody's last rodeo without even knowing it, and we thought maybe a supplemental draft was kind of popping up out of nowhere. Go ahead, Conman.

Last question here, two minutes. Raftsci, kind of the assumption is Brendan Sorosby's going to be in the next year's draft? Is that even possible, or are we kind of put in the cart before the horse here, and this guy might never play football again? I expect him to be in the 2027 draft. that is what the NFL has said that is no they did not no they did not you read the same letter I did did we all got the same letter at the very end it said maybe basically 2027 NFL trial it's eligible yeah no I agree it didn't say definitively I do expect it now as far as this year

you know I don't know what other avenues he could go he could go lawsuit it's a long road ahead to sue the NFL before you enter the not unprecedented it is has happened. I just don't know that that's something that, you know, he wants to do. And I think saying, okay, tried my best. I was punished. I'm going to do everything to focus on 2027. Wouldn't make sense. I just don't know that he's there yet. And I'll tell you this, like obviously, you know, it'll be he wants to play in the NFL this year. That 2027 draft, which we actually just haven't just got a date on, is going to be absolutely as high profile as it gets. and he is one of but not the only reason why.

Yeah, I don't think any of us really expected the NFL just say it's a damn good day to leave, pal. Okay? I don't think you need to be thinking that we're just going to be your savior. I don't think any of us expected that, you know? But my savior is certainly, certainly Lord Jesus Christ,

and we're thankful for that, aren't we? That's right. You're the best, ladies of gentlemen, Ian Rapp for. Thank you, for you. The baby rap. Yeah. I mean, it's working on me, isn't it?

ain't my damn too early to drink well guys think as you drunk I am hey listen everybody we're gonna be off tomorrow and for the foreseeable future when we come back we're at the MLB All Star Spectacle

with the Home Run Derby and everything like that we love you we'll miss you Happy birthday to America and enjoy the hell out of sports We'll be back on the other side goodbye Okay I feel like we really nailed that We're still live Riley Okay didn't know if you wanted to potentially

Let us maybe hear something about behind the bar you know because that's what I've been told. If it wasn't for trucks, you can put them on mine, obviously. But that was us, okay? And that's my fucking Dixie. So whenever you start really kind of talking about it all, especially whenever you see behind the bar,

this one's from 2021. This is fresh out COVID. Okay. Oh shit. They were behind the bar. That was probably a tough time. Yeah, I couldn't even imagine what was coming out of your brain. COVID kind of your life, actually.

You fuck it. Just kind of go out in the middle of the woods, just kind of six foot. There was a lot about that I enjoyed, yeah Yeah, wear a mask out there That's what I've been told Fuck. Is that another song? Wear a mask? No, he let's...

No, it's not one. It's hard to tell, really, what's the song. I was just checking. Well, I let a damn good woman leave. Where'd you go? She just left. So do you all end the show like this? She's worked on 21.

Yeah, it's kind of... Usually it's a little recap on the show. Normally, it's like, wow, that was pretty good show. I can't believe we did that. But today it's going to be, there's some songs we forgot. We want to get out there. You know what?

Never done it sober, have you? So, hey, that's way back right there. Oh, yeah, I know. Deep cut. From Barry Me and Dixie in 2018, I know. Come on. Is that when you were in Jesus and Wranglers? Just all day, every day, people can tell you walked out of your house.

It's like, holy fuck, Jesus is around that guy. Jesus and Ranglers is a wild title for a song. It is, but it's good, though. It might be your life. Fuck. That's my love. And we're a little behind the time. times like this. Now or never.

What about little Hank? Can he tell us about him? God. Is that Big Hank's little one? Toyota boy? I wrote that when I was like 18. Banger. Absolute heater. You don't know it. Yeah, dude. Lil Hank. I think. Do you a bank. That's not it. Go get a drink. Get spank. Yeah, you're a little freaky there. Drive a tag.

Mm-hmm. Crank. Oh, you're cranking. Oh, my God. Wake up and crank. We better enjoy this the last time. Riley's coming. Yeah, well, we knew this, he was going to get to this point. He knew he was going to get to a big stardom where it couldn't have him around anymore. So we figured we sent him out in good way, especially

because tonight he is in Indiana. Tomorrow he's in Pittsburgh. I believe that both of them sold up. Yeah, I would assume so. Yep. Yeah, and we got Australia and Paraguay tonight. Huge. Ten of Claw. Huge, yeah, huge moment there in sports. What happens in that game with the

outcomes that we learned earlier from Grella? Well, it sounds like there's some points and stuff. like that they can go one way or the other and really affect a lot of things you know down the line in this tournament yeah tournament you know that actually yeah that was pretty good or a sports guy you big sports guy big sports guy yeah I heard you talking about the WMBA earlier you want to Caitlin Clark on that poster didn't we all kind of think about yeah we all thought probably bang on with that I believe

probably earned a spot on there mm-hmm I'd say I think so what else did we learn about today hmm hmm Elmell ball. Yeah. Wendy basically said, hey, that's a good question. I don't know if there are enough basketballs up in Minnesota.

We're going to find out, though. There's enough crowns for you to go chasing with us. I think I got two good questions today from your guess. Think about that. That's like getting a hit with the Savannah Bananas. Yeah. That actually should be on that's not asked next time you'll do it. You got two.

Hey, good question. You know what I mean? Those are nice to hear. They are. Can't believe you cared somebody. Especially when you just throw it at me like that. Yeah. I mean, I don't think we should have told you who the guests we're going to

be just to potentially throw you into the deep end, but I did want you to kind of know what was about to happen. And I'll tell you what, you handled yourself in here. You handled yourself. I had the head, Chase brought me, what, 10 scrambled eggs with cheese this morning? That's right. I was ready, man. We appreciate that, Chase. Thank you for bringing there all those messy eggs with speed. Braves, Braves going to do it this year? Like the 98 ones? No way. They didn't. That's that. That was the heartbreak. That was so good. And I know it was home runs. 98 Braves.

It's just the way life plays, you know. Chipper. Is everybody okay? Somebody like that one. Somebody's a big Morgan fan. Somebody loved that. Our big hit. That was DeBone, obviously.

That was Debo? Yeah. Big Popper. Thank you, Debo. Hey, you smoke? What? Marlboro Reds? I don't know.

You and Jamie Johnson put out smoking fucking 2025. 2025 is funny. That was a banger, dude. Yeah, we're going. I bet you like that one. I'm at, to be honest. haven't heard it yet.

You almost caught that smoke from Boo Blay the other night. I'm not right. Okay, before we get out of here for our summer break, and before we all get prepared to sing, real white and blue with. Riley Green tonight at his concert and Noblesville, if there's any ticket to be had. We need to get a Jams T-shirt cannon.

Shoot jam sandwiches in the crowd tonight. You don't have that? I think we can probably have that. You can throw them out. I'm betting by tonight you could have a Jams gun. out of the rapper. Shoot them just bread. No, no, no.

Like Lambert's Cafe, man. You know where they used to throw the rolls? Yes. You have one of them? Yeah. Yeah. Down there? Man, when I was a kid,

they used to sling them. What are we talking about? All right. So Lambert's Cafe done in Foley, Alabama. Yeah. They used to sling these rolls out at you, and they'd come by with apple butter and all this. And then somebody got hit in the eyeball and sued them probably.

So then they started underhanding it. But, man, as a kid, when you could stand up and somebody who just throw a hot roll at you? That's awesome. You could catch them like this. They would just... Oh, that sounds like Christmas to me. 2024.

Okay. Christmas to me is the song. Okay. That was funny. That one worked better than any of the ones you done today. That was good. I fucking hit them all today.

If you don't listen back, I fit them all in there. Are you in Booblai doing a Christmas album again? That's not a bad idea. I think we agreed to that after the table. I'm dreaming of the white Christmas. No, you go. Man, there was a moment he had some rage in his eyes the other night, though.

Boulblet did. Across the table? I'll tell you this, too. You know how he's always, he kind of, he saw it too. He got a little quiet for a second. He didn't shut up, but he got a little quiet. He said something about maple syrup or something that got him. Watch the tape, please.

Watch the tape back. I had energy from beginning to end. I heard Bouglay looks like Tim McGraw with a shirt off. Yeah. Who the fuck said that, I think, is what he said. I think Boulat could handle himself in the octagon. if he had. He's a former hockey goon, isn't he?

Yeah. He doesn't have a good base, though, like immediately, you know, if there was to be something that he kept in the third round. In the third round. With an exclamation point. That's disgusting. That's what you were showing them in the middle of the show.

Is that a till day over the E? No, I had a stats thing from sports I was shown then. What was that? Is that a Tildo over the E and Boubley until you did that? Yeah, I don't know really what that does, but I know this got one. That's where it has one. You ever use one of those? Yep.

You better depend if it's leaning forward or leaning back. That makes a difference? You all, see? What's the one that does like this? Oh, that's a U. Keensanera. Yeah. Yeah, that's in that word.

They got one of the ones on the E for Turkai. Yeah, the double. The umla. Yeah, the double dot. What else? Well, we had some Midtown sessions planned, but I guess we just kind of got to get out of here. You know what I mean?

Who owns all these music, all this music? If I was a play, who's suing me? Who's your label? A big machine? They're going to sue us. I don't think so. That's a cool label name. It is.

I don't think so. Famous. It kind of leans into the. Oh, man. It does because damn country music does have like a couple. That's 2023. That's a single. Damn country.

It's a good. A way to start a song. That's a good start. That's a good idea. I like that. That guitar sing to you. I'm in. You know what I mean?

I'm in on that. Yeah, me too. Are you playing this tonight? now I feel like I should what a great way to end the show just fade the lights a little bit give some smoke encore y'all got a button for smoke

back there just bring it up I can take it next door you can figure it out good old hand cassette tape and dad's 84 rustic for it so we'd never make it I quit my job

let my mama down broken angels heart on the way out of town roots from the ground You know what I mean? Oh. Well. What a day, you saved the show right there.

Well, Jesus. Saved us all. God bless him. Country music saved us. Mm-hmm. Is that the name of us all? Country music saved us. Something to think about.

Something to think about. Write it down. Riley, what we're going to need you to do is, would you like the lights back up or is this where you feel comfortable at? This feels good. Okay. Well, don't mind about it.

wherever you all want them at. It's fine. Well, it's kind of your world right now. We're trying to make you comfortable. All right. Would you like to throw a football, maybe, into one of those holes in that net right over there? And if you put it in one of the holes,

$10,000 will be given away. I love that. Who are you giving it to? Well, we'll give it to random people who repost this video in $500 increments. And all they'll have to do is repost this video, say something nice to somebody, put the easiest way to be paid.

And then also your favorite Riley Green song. Bingo. Just title. Come on. Balls little flat. Hey, balls are little flat. Yeah. It's cold.

It's cold here. Accuracy's important. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We're looking for velocity here, though. Okay. And we need cadence. Black, 55. Hot rock.

Silent count. Dave. Oh, nice play. A shot. Ball fill out. What does that count? It was a tight-ass spiral. It was.

Come on, Jake. I figured out from last time I was on the show. There's not like a certain amount of trials. That's good call. That's good call. Good hug. Who's this? Who's this with the sniper?

Is that a suit? Is that a suity? Is that a person that has a suit role? I believe he does. That's a hell of a throw right there. That's a scrambled egg guy, man. He got the scrambled eggs this morning. Thank you.

You got a hell of an arm, son. I used to think about spinning it, kid. To have. Oh, fake the pitch. Oh, and he hides it in the pocket. With the ok-do. This is for $10,000. You threw that some bitch so hard.

That's not a win. Oh, that's a tough break. That's not a win. If that thing doesn't get knocked over, it's going in. Hey, you were throwing the hell out of that thing. That's another good throw out of the... He got a live arm over there. He does have a live arm.

Hey, Riley, real quick now, you're in the ostrich boots there, and obviously you're as cowboys, it gets. Is he not bulls? Yes, the Cowboys gets. And we love that damn country music, and we know you're in Noblesville, Indiana, tonight. I know you're in Pittsburgh tomorrow night.

I know you're always on tour your own voice. But if you were able to put that football, that Duke great there, that has been kicked in a game. I've kicked that ball in a game, to myself, maybe. If you're able to throw that ball in one of those holes right over there, $10,000 will be given away in $500 increments to random people who repost this video, say something nice to somebody, and put the easiest way to pay them, and put the title of their favorite Riley Green song. Me personally, worse way. They got a name of a song? Yeah, I have to.

I mean, we've given them fucking all of the names. And I think we do need another table. No cadence, he says. Hey! Oh, no winners. Good try, though. I wouldn't mind seeing him throw a baseball. Oh, okay.

How about baseball? How about baseball? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's get you a baseball here. All right. Yeah, how you go? You want to glove too? Do you want to show them what you did with the baseball yesterday before?

Yeah, just a little bit of a reminder for what it looks like. Bryce Turang was on the show out of the Milwaukee Brewers. He is a, he's a platinum. glove guy. He played second base. Yesterday I was trying to impress him. This is what I did. Irish thing. Yeah, Bryce Terrain's on second base. Let me...

Yeah, it exploded a frame over there. Certainly missed, but just know that... Oh, yeah. That's his arm's fly. Out of the pocket, yeah. Well, you don't know about me and my journey to find my fucking slot for throwing baseball. Okay, Clayton Kirschall embarrassed me and taught me a little bit about a bit. If

Riley Green is able to put this baseball as a pitcher, it appears. I like it, yeah. Into one of those holes right over there. Right below the United States of America flag that is flying high just days before the 250th birthday

of the United States of America. On the same day, the USA will play in a game against Turkey A. Hey! If Riley Green is able to bury this baseball into a hole, $20,000 will be given away. Here we go.

In $500 increments. all you have to do, Riley, is just cowboy, do some light ranching, maybe throw a seed over there into the field of holes as $20,000 can be given away by your friend, Ruther Green. All you have to do is repost this video,

say something nice to somebody, and then also put your favorite Riley Green song title. Burn one, son. Yep. Oh, he gets it in the ostrich boots. That's a good ball. Seek!

I was going to, yeah, that's a good ball. It was. In the boots. And you got another one. 85? 69. 69's not bad in ostrich. He's off the side too.

He's got a few. So if I would have hit a football at another 10,000, an hour 20. Smaller ball. Yeah, but hold on. Remember, we're nowhere right now. We're nowhere right now. Nothing has happened. Now, AJ, do you have something to say to Riley Green,

former Jacksonville State quarterback, is he attempts to win $25,000 for the fine people at home? Oh, he's got to put his in there. I think I told Pat this yesterday. I don't know if you can hear me or not, right. I told Pat to trust this instincts. I mean, you are an athlete. You are born an athlete.

Obviously, you're a big jacked-up human. So go fire that thing. Throw it 100 plus. Put it right in that middle slot. That's right. Ty Schmidt also has something to say to you. He is your pitching coach. He's coming out to the mound now to say some stuff.

I mean, I saw everything I needed to see with that first pitch. You got it in you, son. I just fucking grip it, rip it and burn one right down the middle. $25,000 and $500 increments. It's Riley Green, who's on tour now. Cowboys against Tor. He's able to put that baseball in one of those holes underneath the United States America flag.

Just like Greg Maddox. America's turned 250. Will he give away $25,000? That's a ball. That's good velocity, though. And he's not missing by much. All right. It's take. Counts two-oh.

Counts two-oh. Got it. First of it was a strike, though, I think. Yeah, I mean, yeah. Yeah, I think it's kind of one. But that's kind of on me. I said like Greg Maddox, so I think he was trying to spot it a little bit. Okay, so you have your ears in, right?

You can hear everybody? Yeah, I can't, yeah. Evan Fox has something like you in the back there. Riley, all I got to say to you is raise some hell here, please. I'd like to see you throw this thing down the middle and raise a little bit of hell. I like that. He said outlaws like us. Okay, go ahead and throw the shit out of this baseball.

For USA, 25-d-d-d-dyes-up! That was a strike. That was a good pitch. That was low. I'm just going to call. That's a ball. Low? It's a 3-0. Battle back.

Battle back. What have I got up to speed you? 102? Definitely over 70. 73. Seventy. Now you're warm. Not your warm a bit.

Okay. 102. Hold on now, Riley. Who's clocking these pitches? Chase. Chase. Oh, got, Chase. He's got a gun, really?

Chase, he's got the gun. Probably needs to get behind the nets, get a more accurate reading. Chase, put your face. Yeah, yeah. All right, all right. Okay, remember, we got to act like nothing happened there for one of the people. We'll see this. Ladies and gentlemen, to wrap up today's show on this glorious USA.

A.J., it feels like you're kind of giving away that it's not first try with how you force that one in there. It's going to be tough, though, my first ball today. That's right. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first throw for Riley Green. If he is able to put that baseball into one of those holes over there, okay, we will give $25,000 out to random folks who repost this video, say something nice to somebody, put their favorite Riley Green song title, and they could be randomly selected to win one of the $500 increments

at $25,000. All you got to do is throw a street. It's my last rodeo here. I want this in the worst way. Don't mind if I do. Yes, sir. Rodney Green, what a hero. Rodney Green, what a fucking hero.
