The Pat McAfee Show - PMS 2.0 233 - Big Bubble Show. Orlando Magic Guard Terrance Ross, NBC NHL Analyst Pierre McGuire, & Legend, AJ Hawk Join Us For A Feel Good Friday.

Episode Date: July 31, 2020

On today's show, Pat and the boys get an intimate look at what life is like in the respective bubbles in Orlando and Edmonton. First, 8th Overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, 2013 NBA Slam Dunk Champion, and current guard for the Orlando Magic, Terrance Ross joins the program. Pat and Terrance discuss what the day to day is like in Orlando, if the food situation is as bad as people originally thought, if guys are still doing extra curricular activities, how he feels about the Magic's chances, and what he does to pass the time in between practices and games (1:11-16:01). Next is another installment of McAfee & Hawk Sports Talk where Pat and AJ discuss Pat's wedding and what his expectations should be going in, whether or not he should be nervous, what to look for, and what to remember to make it as memorable as possible. Pat, AJ, and the boys also cover everything else while going off the rails a little bit on this Feel Good Friday (17:43-1:28:20). Lastly, NBC NHL Analyst and friend of the program, Pierre McGuire joins the show live from Edmonton. Pat and Pierre discuss the quarantine situation upon arrival in Canada, what the players have thought of the experience thus far with air conditioning going out at one of the hotels recently, how the NHL managed to pull this off, and who he thinks has the most realistic shot at taking home the Covid Cup (1:29:23-1:42:37).

Oh, I was like, I was like, I might not be going to show. How is the, how is the bubble down there? By the way,

thanks for joining us. I know you're incredibly busy down there. The podcast from the bubble. Brilliant idea. I hope it crushes and does very well. How is life down there? And now the games are getting started. How do you imagine anything will change?

Man, it's like hedgehog day, bro. It's been like the same day over and over and over again. Groundhog. Groundhog day. Groundhog. Hedgehog? Groundhog?

Same day. Same day. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, groundhog day. Anyway, it's been the same day over and over, man. There's not really much to do besides, you know, sleep, go work out, practice. But, I mean, we're kind of just grinding it out, man. It's not really much.

It's like a big, fat AU tournament. That's how everybody has kind of described it. And the first couple days, and we talked about this on this show, there was like some activities, you know. There was golfing. There was fishing. There was shotgunning of beers. And I was like, I wonder how long this is going to last.

And it sounds like that has died off so quick like right after all that happened like people tried doing it the second day now it's just kind of like lost it's uh lost it like the fish have all gone uh i mean people are going by the pool like But it's crazy because the pool is like four foot. So everybody's like, it just reaches like their thighs. What's that big giant dude from Dallas? Boban. Boban or whatever his name is. Big, tall, giant dude.

He's always in the pool, but he's like literally up to like his kneecap. So it's just like, I don't even know what you're doing in there. But I don't know, man. It's getting pretty boring. Thank God that we're playing. But I don't know. It's're doing in there. But I don't know, man. It's getting pretty boring. Thank God that we're playing, but I don't know. It's just a weird time. Okay, so you guys are currently the eighth seed, which is a very, very highly contentious spot, obviously.

In the East, there's only nine teams there, so only one team can kind of get there. But who knows what will happen with all eight games? How's the squad feel? How have the practices been? Is there, like, allotted times for just your team to be in there and then other teams cycle in? How has been that whole process? Yeah, man. There's a spot. It's a,

it's a race right now because it's different to like, even if you're like the ninth or eighth, you have to, it's like, you have to play in almost. So it's like, it's, it's really janky. So we're trying to get to like the seventh or sixth spot so we can kind of avoid all that. So I'm feeling good right now. You know, the team's getting back in rhythm. I mean, we do have practice.

We have practices like pretty much every day, but they're different times. So, you know, sometimes we might have practices at 8 a.m. for two days. And then for the next three days, we might have practice at 7 p.m.

So it's just a weird timing. It kind of blows your schedule off. But it takes a little getting used to, but we're pretty much used to it now. Okay. So, they kept saying that it's a shooter's court, the court that you guys are going to be playing on. And why is it a shooter's court? Because you could potentially light it up.

Is this going to really help teams that have snipers? No, for sure, man. Like, so, usually, let's say, instance when you're playing like stable center that the the depth perception from the basket to like the stands into where you are at like it kind of throws you off so it kind of like makes the the hoop look a little further back and it kind of you know mess with your shot but like when you're in a like a small environment you feel like you can pull up from anywhere so I'm seeing guys already going six for eight from three. Duncan Robinson's getting hot. I've seen Seth Curry out there balling.

This is like a gym where you're going to see guys probably shoot lights out because I'm feeling good in the gym. It feels like a high school gym. You know when you go to a high school gym, you feel like you can pull up from anywhere. That's what it feels like. It feels like the court's a little bit smaller. I don't know.

It just has that good feel. So it's going to get good. It's going to get good. So you're saying bet the overs. Obviously, you can't help us with gambling. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't help us with gambling, obviously. You can't.

But what I just gathered, note to self, from us, it feels like the overs are going to get very, very hot. J.J. Redick looks like Duke J.J. Redick on these videos that are pulling out there. He looks like literally. Everybody. Yeah, he on these videos that are pulling out there he looks like literally yeah he does everybody it's easy man i'm telling you this it's a good feeling like you don't get that you don't get that feel in most of these giant arenas that you're playing so you know i feel like it's it could be it could be fun basketball for everybody okay so let's talk about that court though how it does look like it's a it looks like a workout gym that you guys do in the offseason because every once in a while, those games you guys run will pop up on the Internet.

And it's insane thinking about me potentially walking into an L.A. fitness and just being in my ass run right off the court by NBA guys. But how is the setup from like a production standpoint? It looks like a stage with all those lights up there and all the cameras. What have you guys been told about playing like, hey, try not to swear there's all the cameras. What have you guys been told about playing? Like, hey, try not to swear. There's going to be cameras here. Have you been told about any of that? They pretty much don't give a shit what we say.

They haven't said anything to us about that. Perfect. We will hear something about what you just said. It's a giant stage. From what you guys are seeing, they have that camera. Kind of like in football. You guys have that camera that kind of goes the length of the field. We have that camera. Kind of like in football. You know how they have that camera that kind of, like, goes, like, the length of the field? Like, we have that on the side.

We have, like, this giant, we have, like, screens everywhere. So, like, when you're looking, it just looks like, you know, we're on a, you know, theoretical stage type shit. Because there's just cameras and lights everywhere. But it's weird because as soon as you walk out of that court, you're automatically on another practice court. So it's just like every setup is different. I think they have like four or five or three or four like different like gym locations. But for the most part, like they're pretty much like a stage. And once you leave that stage, you're pretty much on other courts. So it's weird.

You can hear other guys like in the background shooting on the practice courts. And I don't know. It feels like a giant AU. And I don't know. It feels like a giant AU stage. I don't know. Are you, are you guys scared of another team's fan base popping up on that zoom? Not, not right now.

At least, uh, they got to figure that out too. Ross, they have got to figure that out, right? Yes, it is wild.

So they're telling us right now that, you know, those people are usually going to be like fan or they're going to use you like a beef, you know, pretty much close friends or family. So, uh, each people are usually going to be like fans or they're gonna usually like uh be you know pretty much close friends or family so uh each family member is gonna have like their own seat um there's i think they said something about there might be a camera that's like looking at us so we might be able to interact with like our family back home but um really i think yeah it's it's they're they're hooking it up man zoom is like really trying to take care of it so uh it's a whole bunch of stuff going on.

We're going to see how it goes. The game starts tonight, so we'll see. It'll be glitchy and stuff for your family, but it'll at least get the view. That's what Zoom's known for. Yeah, for sure. How has Adam Silver been through this? Is he down there?

Do you guys hear from him daily? Is there an email that you get? No? Okay, good. I haven't fucking seen him. I't seen anybody man i've seen a few guys but i don't know man i i'm you know i i think a few guys might be out of the boat for all i know okay let's talk about that because that became big news obviously there was a potential thought chopper that was coming in uh there was a chance that uh guys were trying to go to postmates

or door dash was after that whole thing came out right i don't know who who exposed the story or how it came out but was there a group meeting like hey team listen although they don't have like because adam silver said we're not calling it a bubble because it's not a bubble it's an area that's secluded away whatever is is there a conversation i was had like hey we can't be doing this because if we want this league to pop off and if we want this tournament to to go which is going to be awesome content for everybody, we have to be able to lock this thing down. Has there been that conversation?

Yeah, when you first get to the bubble, they kind of tell you like the guidelines, you know, what you're allowed to do, where you're allowed to go. Just to even like leave our room, we have, like, these little Bluetooth, like, monitors and whatever this is. Take your pulse, whatever. I don't know. But you have to do that every day. And we have, like, an app that we have to answer this questionnaire. And if you don't, we have these little magic bands that pretty much allow you to go from place to place.

You have to scan it. Every single time you go to, like, a different building, you have to scan it. And if it doesn't pop up green, means they get flagged down they take you somewhere else you gotta like do all this other questions take you know test whatever so it's it's a it's like they're really on high alert about everything we do so i mean i feel like we're safe but it's it's a lot of work sometimes like even later i have to go get you know another test every day we gotta get a test. Down your nose? Yeah, man, and throat.

How is the nose one? I've heard horror stories. It's not bad, man. For us, we're doing it every day. So for us now, it's just like a quick little swab on the inside. So it's not too bad. The first couple days were a little rough. But after that, we're pretty much good.

D-Ross, you talked about seeing Boban in the pool every day. How much interaction is there between teams off of the court? Are you guys hanging out together all the time, or is that not allowed? No. So, I mean, for the most part, we can kick it with whoever. We all are staying in different hotels. Like on this property, we have, I think, maybe three or four hotels, and there's like the Rockets, there's the Mavs, the Nets, us,

and I think like the Sixers and the Pacers so like you see guys all the time you guys you see guys walking around especially like when you get ready to go to practice you guys see you know everybody meet up at the buses um yeah you we see guys on boats we're allowed to drive boats which is cool but I mean with the boats like literally go three miles an hour it's it's hard to even get a breeze but you're on a canoe yeah but you guys see we see people doing that and um for the most part like we all know each other so it's that's the other good thing like it's we know everybody for the most part so it's not anything nothing's awkward so uh i don't know it's been fun but i mean man just we've been here for a while and it's kind of getting played out yeah i could I can fathom. I can fathom that.

Wow. What do you do in your room? Are you a gamer? Do you play cards, dominoes? What are we doing? I got my gaming chair right here. Oh, yeah. I got my whole little setup right here.

I got my PlayStation. I got my PC. It's not set up right now, but I got everything. So I'm in here all the time gaming, sleeping, hanging out with my teammates. So that's another good thing. We're all in one room, all in one section of the hotel. So most of the time we're going through one to the other room, playing dominoes, playing cards, playing video games.

So staying active. T-Ross, how's the food been? Is that getting really old yet, or have they mixed it up enough where it's actually been decent? I'm just going to let you all check it out, man. I got the menu right here. Oh. Yeah, here we go.

Main lobster. Got some main lobster up there, a little jumbo cocktail, bacon, cheddar, and just beef. Chefs, that feels like it's a good hotel's 24-7 room service menu right there. Yeah, if it was 24-7. We can't order until 5 o'clock. Oh! You got to prepare.

You got to prepare. Yeah, so I got some snacks. I got a little something-something to hold me over. But, I mean, we can't really do much. We can go down to that main hub hub to order like to get the food that they give us but it's like lunch food that you get it like high school so it's not bad but it's just sometimes you're like you just want to eat more and you just it's hard to do that sometimes until like five o'clock you hey listen everybody says they're getting paid to do this

they're lucky to do this but when you think about the human side of that, I would be running through a wall in there if I hit my- I'm like, look, I'm not ungrateful. Yes, I have food. I'm so happy. I was like, but I mean, but still, you can't- I know somebody got charged for six pack of Pepsis, $26. Whoa, they're taking advantage of it because there's no other option.

That's a monopoly. That is a monopoly. The players have to pay for that? The players have to pay for what? Snacks and stuff? Room service. You have to pay for room service. You have to pay for, like, you know,

anything that you order, the food that you get delivered in. Like, yeah, you got to pay for it. I'm thinking it's like, oh, yeah, it's on the house. No, no, no, no. If you want this little coffee that we have in here, it's $40 per cup.

Oh. Yeah, I'm Amazon-ing things to the house, man. So are you allowed to receive shipments? Does it have to go through somebody to get to you? So we're allowed to receive stuff, but we have to send to a certain address or whatever, and then deliver it to our rooms for whatever reason. But, yeah, we can get packages. We're going to send you snacks for sure.

Send me anything. Candy. Just send me a ton of candy. J.R. Smith's not going to be happy about that. What do you got, Connor? Terrence, how has the barbershop been utilized down there? Oh. As soon as the barbers showed up, everybody started getting new hairstyles.

I think four guys on my team got braids, including me. Every person on the other team is getting braids. Everybody's getting their hair cut. It's been dope. They actually set up a little makeshift barbershop in two days. It was wild. They put it up. It has TVs.

It has air conditioning, barbershophop everything you need so they look they hit the other part like it's dope for it so i'm happy for that what are you keeping the braids tight up there right now for sure man for sure i just woke up and i'm just like i can't i just got done like a couple days ago i can't have messed up day two yeah i gotta keep them fresh especially when there's literally no excuse because there's nobody around you most of the time. Yeah, I can't have those dusty looking braids. I can't.

I can't wait to download the T-Ross podcast. I am so excited that you joined us, man. You're fucking awesome. Thank you, man. This show's amazing. I listen to it all the time on the way to practice. Hey! My guys! You and the guys, yeah.

Hey, we're going to send you some shit. We'll get your address somehow. We'll figure it out. We'll send out an entire care package for the lifestyle that I could not do. I'm happy you are, though. Starting tonight, we got NBA back from the bubble, ladies and gentlemen. Potential sixth man of the year, absolute stud for the Magic in his eighth year, former eighth overall pick from the University of Washington.

Ladies and gentlemen, James Brown. Can't wait to see the Braids, man. Can't wait to see them. Got you guys. Have a good one. Yeah, you too. Well, he was awesome. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Tonight, when you pass out, if you don't fall asleep easy like me for instance there is a company out here that is creating something that puts you out like a light like a light like a light cbdmd cbdpm is a game changer for those who are a little restless at night.

Welcome to McAfee & Hawk Sports Talk. I'm Pat McAfee.

To my left, the handsome man in front of a very real bookcase is A.J. Hawk. How you doing, A.J.? I'm doing great, Pat. How you doing? You know, I'm good, man. I'm getting married in a couple days. Yeah! I'm excited, man.

Are you nervous? No. No? Should I be? Were you? No. No? Should I be? Were you? No. I mean, you should. You've been with Sam for how long?

Long time. Five years. Yeah, there's no reason to be nervous. The thing about it is we've lived together, too, for a majority of our entire relationship. And I know this is probably not great to say, but for me, this is, uh, this is us officially taking that next step, you know, which I can't wait for, but I don't see much changing here. Now, granted, I could be very, very, very, uh, what's that called? Um, naive in thinking that, but for me, it's just like, I'm excited to see my ladies hard work in real life for the wedding.

Everybody have a good time. My mom, my dad, her mom, her dad. I'm excited for those moments. They're going to be emotional. I'm pumped. I'm just pumped to get it over with and get it moving. Who's your best man? His name's Phil.

He's a CFO. I told him if he reads his speech, I will slap him and kick him out of the wedding. Thank you. I'm so glad you said that like that's true like nothing worse than watching the best man or the maid of honor stand up and get they have seven sheets of paper and they gotta unroll it and look at like okay here we go oh it's the worst today is a day that none of us thought would happen, especially if you know Chris. Chris was, I'm sorry, Chris has been my best friend. Chris. And our best friend since we were five.

When I saw him, you remember this, when I saw him you remember this wearing his diaper out in public you remember that Chris? Everybody else there is like shut the fuck up okay? This is obviously

a fake story that nobody remembers or you would have been able to just say it from your heart, say it from your brain but not everybody's public speakers CFO Phil is not a public speaker and I think me adding the fact that he can't read it or have any notes might have just been for me, to be honest with you. It might have just been for me. But I go to other weddings where those people are stumbling, bumbling, fumbling through

that fucking inside joke thing fest. And I'm just like, yo, come on. This is a show you're giving. You're not talking to each other one on one at this point. Everybody is listening. Let's go. And I think Phil will do a great job. I think he'll do a great job tomorrow or Saturday.

Phil actually just texted and said, relax, AJ. When you hear a good one, you know. Like, hey, this was special. My cousin, his brother was getting married I don't know how many years ago, and my one cousin pulled out the sheets of paper to read them. My cousin Sean, and I was like, oh man, Sean's like a character funny guy. This is weird. He's going to read it read it he pulls it out and he didn't look at his sheet once

and he's and when he finally finished 20 minutes later he's like i don't know why i even wrote this i didn't i didn't do anything off of my my paper and he worked the room like a stand-up he walked the dance floor back and forth like he went into the crowd it was it was masterful and like i i really appreciated it and it's always fun when you see those those kind of best man speeches that were made of honor when they can they can kill it too i agree like i wanted i want they have to know you're part of the show here okay you are a part of the show i spoke at uh aq's first wedding okay and not the second no they like eloped they did the whole elope, which is from what I've been told. It was a good time.

They told me, but I'm over one, two on his wedding. So probably shouldn't do that anyways. But that was very interesting. Two very different families were coming together there. Okay. Very, very different families. A, a huge crew. And then her crew.

Good, very nice people. But two very different backgrounds of humans in there. And, uh, while the other speeches were happening, everybody knew I was speaking, I was representing our side. Okay. So it felt as if our entire side was like to me, like, Hey, you're a fucking guy. Like, we can't wait for you to go out there. Like like this is going to be awesome because there was a lot of long speeches happening that were being read and everybody was like come on hey it's gonna be your fucking time your puzz puzz lesney paul puzz lesney he like look i mean he was like can't wait for you to get up there man i'm like all right all right i appreciate you man and i go up there and this is like her side of the family was

very classy i mean they were very classy, very professional. I liked them a lot. But they were super nice, you know, like super, super nice people. And I was like, all right, don't swear. Do whatever you got to do. Led off, maybe fourth word in was, hey, I'm just going to cut the fucking tension here a little bit. Literally how I led off with it. And obviously, AQ's entire side side we got a pop right because they all

they all saw what was happening they all saw how it was going and what was happening and then all of a sudden from there i was like okay i'm gonna try to work these people over here and having a good time as well and then once i got them to pop a little bit i was like all right now we are in unison let's bury aq now like this is this is what we're doing here and it was uh and by bury i mean like obviously put them over in a good way uh but that's not easy it's not an easy thing to do phil's gonna call it because whatever you say has to be funny all the way from the 15 year old cousin of the bride as well as the 95 year old grandma sitting in the front row and there's very few things that are universally funny like that so you have to find a way it's pretty good to just start out compliment people

kind of compliment the bride early on and then like you said just trash the groom and then end it on a high note praising their relationship the um i don't want to keep like my first stand-up show i did okay i did a vip meet and greet thing beforehand and this was before i had ever gone on a stage we sold out of theater or whatever because my twitter followers were the greatest humans on earth so then we had to add another night we did it so loud whatever so i'm doing this meet and greet there was a fleet of 85 year olds that were there a fleet an entire they came together one bus. They said they loved me. There was like two men, six women that were all like 80 to 90 years old.

They came from their senior citizen and they're like, we love you. Like we absolutely love you. And I'm like, thank you so much. Like, this is awesome. We took a photo of the epi photo or whatever. So they're in the front row. And then about three rows behind that, I had my teammates, Robert Mathis was there, right? Robert Mathis, Vinatieri was there. Anthony Costanzo was there. There was a bunch of people there. And then there was like 15 year olds and 16 year olds back over here. And then there was, I had like 10 different demos. And before I went on stage, I thought about it. I was like, are, are any of these humans going to laugh at all of this stuff? How are all, are they, how are all of them going to find what, how are all of them going to find a common ground here?

I, well, fuck it. I don't know. Here we go. And I went out there with the mindset that I have no idea which group is going to laugh at what, but I am going to watch for it. Like, while I was talking, like, there was somebody that I noticed that maybe early was like, okay, not into it. They were forced to be here either by a friend or spouse, and I get, like, the 80-year-olds to laugh early, and I'm like, all right, that's my fucking group right there.

I appreciate you guys. And then I get my teammates dying. I'm like, okay, I got them. And then there's, like, a couple dates in the back where maybe their girlfriend asked them to come right so they hate you automatically because yeah they just automatically hate you and then I would see them and I'm like all right we'll get back to them like five ten minutes see how they're feeling and then I would look back over at them and I would have like a smile I'm like oh fuck almost there all right let's go over here and then let's come back. And then they'd be laughing. And that is kind of how I would assume it's going to feel for Phil,

because Phil is going to be trying to talk. And you almost always start to go and try to attack the people that aren't enjoying it, as opposed to talking for the people that are enjoying it. And there's two different strategies there. And I've learned through my speaking journey here, let's go for the people that are enjoying it and fuck the people that aren't. And if they aren't, like, to hell with them. You either catch up or get the hell out of the way. And I just hope Phil does that tomorrow.

Like, hey, Phil, you speak your speech, bub. You talk your talk. You do whatever you got to do. Don't worry about anything. I'm going to appreciate it. And it's on Saturday, by the way, not tomorrow. I'm going to appreciate it. But don't read a damn thing, because then it just means you don't mean about anything i'm gonna appreciate it and it's on saturday by the way not tomorrow i'm gonna appreciate it but don't read a damn thing because then it just means you don't mean anything that you're saying yeah if you have anything written down if he wants to try to like

if he's nervous you want to remind yourself have a couple note cards in your pocket just like to look at a couple bullet points right before you go up there okay cool cool and then if something tragic happens and you just freeze in the middle of it maybe pull it out and look at it oh okay pat's uh old girlfriends okay here's my next story and obviously that's something you should stay away from and people always think it's hilarious to talk about i tell you what i never thought pat would settle down he's running through girls and all of a sudden he came into his life that. That is not true. I'm not talking you. I'm saying this has happened at other weddings I've seen. I'm like, nope, that's never a good idea.

You should never talk about the pastor. Hold on. Is that what Glazer did? Because Glazer said yesterday he was booted from the wedding after he gave his best man. The best man was booted afterward. That is insane. That's like after the parents and obviously the bride and groom uh the best man and maid of honor there that's like in the pyramid of importance at said wedding if

somebody's get too drunk or anything like that if you're down the bottom ring probably a lot quicker trigger to get you the hell out of there best man got to get out of there i mean that was i wonder what he said there has to be video that summer release the tapes howie howie long's got him release the tapes my man do it now what do you think he said what do you what he said. There has to be video that summer. Release the tapes, Howie. Howie Long's got them. Release the tapes, my man. Do it now. What do you think he said? What do you think he said? Listen, Kurt, I know that you loved, you know,

serving up the hot salami to girls back in the day, but I never thought you'd settle down. You did. It's incredible. No, no. We can't. Cork door. I didn't want to.

All right. What the hell was that? Hey, feel good, baby? Ty, I didn't know about this, Ty. Why didn't you do this during the interview yesterday? Come on. We need to stay away from that. We need to stay away from that.

Still workshopping it, you know. I wasn't 100% comfortable with it yet. Not polished yet. Bro, he's got a rocket ship over there. We are off and running. Dude, Jay Glazer, poor guy. Great guy. Hey, I didn't say it.

He did. He's like Jeff Dunham. You know Jeff Dunham, the guy that has all the puppets? He can say whatever the fuck he wants with his right hand. You know, he can say whatever the fuck he wants. He's like, it's not me. It's fucking Bubba or whatever. It's not me, it's fucking Bubba or whatever. It's not me, it's this.

That's what Ty does with his voices. Hey, I didn't want to say it. Lou Holtz said it. He said it. What do you want me? Regis Philbin, by the way, being born at Notre Dame. Any thoughts, Coach? Listen, no one has done more for the University of Notre Dame

than Regis Philbin. In my opinion, they should bury him underneath the 50-yard line at Notre Dame than Regis Philbin. In my opinion, they should bury him underneath the 50-yard line at Notre Dame Stadium next to Newt Rockne and myself. No one has done more for Notre Dame

than Regis Philbin. Rest in peace, Regis. Rest in peace to Regis. I mean, we offend everybody here on the show, I think. Honestly, I'm learning that about this show. Impersonations are not offensive.

It's flattery. You know what? AJ, anybody doing an AJ Hawke impression? Yeah, people have over time, for sure. What did you think of him? I laughed. I would always laugh if it was good. I can always, there's always, I never deny it.

I'm like, oh, no, that's not me at all. I'm like, yeah, you got me. You got me pretty good, actually. You know, I can always, there's always, I never, like, deny it. I'm like, oh, no, that's not me at all. I'm like, yeah, yeah, you got me. You got me pretty good, actually. You know, I do say that that way. I've only had a couple people try impressions of me. Only a couple. And you nail it or no? I've laughed at them, for sure.

I appreciate them. But, I mean, it's hard for me to be like, yeah, that's it right there. I think it's tough to catch my cadence, to be honest. I do believe. There's some things, obviously, that I do with don and i'm an idiot and stuff like that but when i get going it's gonna be hard for people to impersonate that because i can just start talking and not even miss a breath and still keep the sentence going and it's just and then all of a sudden i sound like the dumbest human on earth whenever i go don it's gone i mean there is a lot

of things and i i am excited to hear. Molinaro did one there. It was pretty good. I thought pretty good, but nobody's really focused on it. Who's Molinaro? Joey Molinaro. He's from Indianapolis. He's an impersonator on. He just signed with Barstool.

Congrats to him, by the way, getting the deal. Oh, he does a Pat McAfee impression? He did it once. Super Bowl. I think it was after Super Bowl. Yeah, I might have seen it. A string of them. Yeah, I was just a part of a crew of them.

And then one guy did it to me at an event I was at. The car got stopped, and I was told to roll down the window. And friend talked about friend's impersonation of me being amazing. Yeah, best one ever. Yeah, the boys were. It never started out that way. The boys were all there. It's like saying, hey, greatest story ever.

Well, first off, I've said this a million times. Stop yourself, bud, because it's not the greatest story ever well first off i've said this a million times stop yourself bud because it's not the greatest story ever way too much as soon as somebody says i got a funny story for you i literally reach underneath my desk it's tough man like always expect keep your expectations super low so then you you exceed any of the expectations don't start it out high before you even start the whole story it It's not going to be that good. And the problem for this guy is all the boys were there, right? I mean, all the boys were there in the back seat, and it was just like, bro, you are going.

It was like Showtime at the Apollo, dude. This guy had no shit. His buddy said this is a great, he's got a great Pat McAfee impression. Oh, yeah. If I was that guy doing the impression, you got to punch him right in the face. Like, nope, not doing it now.

He did not. He agreed. Yeah, he told him to say it probably. But it wasn't bad. It wasn't bad, but the boys. It wasn't good. The boys did not give it up. Tough crowd.

Boys are a tough crowd. Oh, tough crowd. He said it would have been better if the face emoji on the iPhone was working. That's basically how he does his impressions, right? Is that the same guy? Yeah, because he would have put a picture of me on there. Yeah, and he was like, oh, it would be way better.

Just see the face. You watch Frank Caliendo do those things. Yes, his voice and his cadence is obviously good, but his entire body transforms into the person that he's talking to. Unbelievable. He's unbelievable. He studies the people that he impersonates. He studies them for months.

It talks like before he ever does anything to put out there publicly for us to see. He watches film. He's like, watch it back. Okay, here we go. And he said he's like a perfectionist, so obviously he watches hours and hours and hours of it. But I think he said he was going to work on a McAfee, but I think he has so much, I don't want to say pride,

but he is a perfectionist. I don't think he wants to put anything out there until he's got it. Like, I think that is very much Frank Caliendo. And by the way, that's probably to his detriment, to be honest. And there's a lot of things on that way as well, where if we would just, if he would just let it slide, it would probably be okay. People would be like, damn, that's good. But for how long he's been doing it for how deep he is, he's probably, you know, everything in there. He's like, oh, I think I can get this a little better i think get this one he's unbelievable

what he does incredibly talented and he was getting into the internet there for a bit he's kind of backed off i think but he was getting into the internet and i was like here we go this is going to be good why do you why do you think he backed off like i feel like he should be an absolute star on the internet he was by the. He was taking over the internet. I mean, it was happening, and then he backed off. I don't know why. Maybe he wanted to work on new stuff. Maybe he just wanted to take a break for a little bit.

He did a Bella check the other day after all the opt-outs, so I think he might actually be getting back into it. July is a dead period. People take July off. And he might have said, hey, I'm going to wait for sports, and I'm going to wait for things that I do, which is probably the smart move, by the way, instead of just powering through every single day.

Well, think about it too, though. Maybe at some point he wants to be Frank Caliendo. He wants to go have a conversation with somebody and be himself and not, hey, do Madden and then Gruden and then Bill Cosby and then Epstein and then Trump. What the hell? And then Bush. Just knock them all out and then get the What the hell? And then Bush. Just knock them all out

and then get the fuck off the stage. We don't even want to know you're a real human. We just think that you are some alien that channels these impersonations. I wonder if that's why Ari Gold gets mad when people call him Ari Gold because it's like, do they only like me for my character

or they like me for my character? Oh, your boy. This is your close personal friend jeremy piven yeah me and jay piv dog what's going on bro he does stand up now too so you guys should go tour together when everything you know covid lifts i'm not sure i'm good enough stand-up comedian to go on actual tour i can't deliver same story twice not good at i don't know how they do it i don't have a clue how they do it i can do it if it's like months in between but if it's like night to night two shows a night back to back to back i don't know how they deliver it with the same amount of like excitement and i did a tour one time and by i think the third time

telling it i was like why are these fucking people laughing at this this is the dumbest shit of all time and walking on the stage like well this sucks here we go i don't know how the stand-up comedians do it that is a that's a legit talent that they have that i don't have but it would be cool to be on a show with jeremy piven at some point maybe if they reboot something for re gold and maybe i'm a client of his that'd be cool they have a podcast the victory podcast i believe that doug ellen who created um entourage and he does it with Drama and E. And it's pretty good, actually. They go through certain episodes.

I've listened to a few of them so far. Entourage, hold up. I haven't watched it back. Oh, yeah, for sure. The storyline does. Well, for sure the storyline does. I mean, we want the storyline to hold up for as long as we can. There are some episodes that still hit, for sure.

It's funny, for sure, still. But the acting, I mean. Don't do that, Tony. sure. It's funny for sure. There are some that miss. Don't do that, Tony. I watched it for the first time two summers ago. I loved it. Watch it back. Sorry, Foxy. Him commenting on the acting of Adrian Grenier was very interesting. I think I watched it last summer for the first time, and I loved it.

I still didn't hear you again. I just watched it recently i loved it okay so it was your first time awesome holds up i should probably have my headphones in wedding week are you gonna get a uh getting a fresh uh spray tan for saturday are you commenting that i already got one what are your thoughts right now where do you think i'm sitting at where do you think i am sitting at? Where do you think I am sitting at currently? I think you may have had one early in the week.

You're going to get another one probably tomorrow. Wrong. I have a tanning bed in my house that I found that I could buy. It's been there for eight years, and I never used it because the first time I got in it, it was so strong. I literally just had stripes up my body like a hot dog coming off a grill. strong. I literally just had stripes up my body like a hot dog coming off a grill. Okay. Still have a burn on my ass cheek on both of them, right down the center, which was maybe fifth degree burns at that point. Cause I used it one time the first time. Um, and I never used it before this particular summer that we're currently in because of the quarantine I've been outside more.

So I've been getting actual sun. So I hopped in said tanning bed last night whenever I got home from Pittsburgh just to see if I could get a little bit more. I do have some burnage in the stripage region, but this is all natural. This is all natural right now. I'm pretty pumped up. I know you've been doing your pool workouts, so I know you've been getting some natural sunlight. I just didn't know if you were going to go top it off

with a little spray before the wedding. Are you trying to get me? Do you see that? Because that's a tricep right there. Try. Are you trying me right now, dude? Don't try it. I saw your Pierre Maguire clip.

He talked about how big your arms were. Didn't he say something about how big you look? He said, you're the most built kicker I've seen. Hey, easy, bub. Punter. That's why I'm watching the show, dude. But you are a kicker, too, though. If you kicked off in the NFL and you kicked in college.

He said place kicker. So I don't know the exacts. If place kicker is a kickoff or if a place kick is a field goal. Whatever the case, good moment to bury Pierre there, who I like a lot. I like him. That's what Pierre does. He puts people over, and then he gets buried. Pierre does.

Hey, hockey community does not like him for whatever reason. I don't know why. I thought he was like, really? So it's people like me that aren't diehard hockey people that like him? Is that what it is? Yes. You guys get them in small doses. The hockey people get them all game, every game.

But he's not like a hot take guy and he's not like trashing dudes no he's super positive i think so for me i've always liked him because i enjoy super positive people but whenever we were having him on the show the first time nick was like oh some hockey people are probably going to tell you about this and i checked my twitter and there was some hockey people that were like why are you having pierre on the show why i'm pierre on the show i like to think that we potentially helped people love pierre mcguire he is incredible on the show like in not just great on the show he knows everybody's name he compliments everybody he knows this he just thought i was a place kicker instead of a punter one little fumble for him but he's been in quarantine for like what 19 days at this point

and he loves hockey i'm a big pierre mcguire fan big big he's also very appreciative of yeah us talking about hockey. Which is nice of him because nobody talks about the fucking sport. True. Still zero positive test, right, in hockey and basketball? Hey, they got them locked down, dude. We talked to – we had a bubble show this morning. We had Terrence Ross of the Orlando Magic down in Orlando in the bubble.

And he – hey, I'm excited to get your reaction to this because I would assume the Green Bay Packers, much like the Indianapolis Colts, if you ordered room service, you had to pay for it, obviously. But there was team snack, team dinner. There was a lot of food prevalent and ready for you. At the NBA bubble, Terrence Ross told us that they have to pay for their room service. They have to pay for their meals down there. Coffee's, like, expensive. Coffee's like expensive.

He's at the Grand Floridian, which is like the nicest hotel, I guess, in America. The food is very pricey. He wasn't bitching. He was very appreciative. But he was rolling out some details that I had not previously heard. And he was like, the fish are smarter than us all of a sudden. Nobody can catch any fish anymore. The golf's kind of there.

I can't really move because I got to check in everywhere I go. I got this band. I got this. I got that. There is an area, but we've still got a little bit to go. So the human side of it, not great, but we're excited to be playing ball. So there were some things I was learning. They have to pay for all their food.

Imagine that negotiation between the NBA and Disney down there. Like, hey, our guys are coming in. They're going to unload all the money that you gave us right back into your restaurants and kitchen. Yeah. So like when they order, when we see those, you know, early on, especially when they went in the bubble and guys are taking pictures of their meals and they're taking pictures of the menu, they're paying for all that too. The menu for sure.

He showed us the menu. It's like a, um, it's like a hotel room service menu, like a hotel room service menu, but it doesn't start until 5 o'clock. They have food, I guess, down there for them, like a lunch hall, but he said the food is pretty standard. By the way, I want to make sure people don't think that he was complaining because he was appreciative, obviously. He was just rolling out the human side of things that were happening down there. I guess the food that was down there was pretty basic food.

Cafeteria food. Cafeteria food, yeah. If you want any burgers, wings, steaks, anything like that, it comes off that food menu. By the way, you only order it from one spot and it is coming through here. We are getting our money back for this because

we are paying a lot of money to the NBA to have it down here. But, games start tonight, AJ. Games start tonight. The boys have bought in. Zero tonight. And the boys have bought in. Zero positive test. The boys have bought in. I wouldn't be able to. I would have hit my head off the wall already. I would have been gone. They have bought in. I'm very thankful they have.

So when will the NBA finals be? October? Yeah. Last week of September and first week in October, I believe. October 12th would be game seven. Yeah, October 12th is the end of it. So I remember whenever they laid it out, they're like, the people who don't make the eighth seed,

they will be done in 30 to 45 days or something like that. And then the playoffs run through the beginning of October. And I was like, damn, that's a long time down there. Even if you stink, even if you know you're out, you have to be down there for 40 days and they're in the middle of that and the orlando magic download the t ross podcast with terrence ross six man of the year probably they're at eight right now so they have a contentious next eight couple games where they're gonna have to play play to get in there and uh he said it's a shooter's paradise and i would assume he's looking to go off snipers all over the place in the nba with this court because it feels like a high school gymnasium

he said they feel like they can pull up from anywhere it looks small so tonight though isn't zion playing uh i'm not sure zion's plans questionable he'll play i don't like it he'll play he has why i don't know i think think because of him being out of the bubble, whatever, for how long it was. He's cleared, but he wasn't practicing. I hate that they're doing this again. Listen, I'm a big fan of the Pelicans. Alvin Gentry, hilarious coach and a good coach. But whenever they were only playing him a certain amount of minutes

and he looked scared a little bit at the beginning whenever he came in or he was just passing the ball every time he got it i thought that we should have had a different approach and they didn't introduce him last which i wasn't allowed to introduce him last either whenever i went down there and did the intros the only reason why i was doing the intros because i said they should have introduced him last and i get down there and they tell me i can't introduce him last so i mean kind of an interesting situation to begin with but the way they've handled the zion they are very very very worried that it's going to be too much too soon for zion and i think after talking to them the gm the the business side of people down there they're like listen

we want to make sure zion doesn't get burnt out we with anthony davis the situation we had with him we don't want this to end bad we want to do everything right by zion as much as we possibly can even if that means that some people are going to get mad like me that they're not just feeding the ball through this kid he is the next one get that guy the rock and tell him he can do no wrong he gets the ball from half court he wants to shoot fuck it it's zion's court he can do they they want to be able to like you know they want to bring him along in like a proper fashion so maybe they're thinking that now but everybody knows that the way the nba was set up and why they have the pelicans even down there to begin with is because

they wanted zion in this so like i want zion they want zion we want zion hey let's get a little zion well don't they have to win like almost all their games just to get in no they're because other people can lose too right so the the conversation right now is how many games are they behind but those teams that are currently in seventh and eighth they can lose too, right? So the conversation right now is how many games are they behind? But those teams that are currently in seventh and eighth, they can lose too. It's been a while. They only have to get within three and a half games. Two games they are within three and a half.

Yeah, and then if they're within three games, if they're within three games from the eighth seed to the ninth seed, they will play a play-in game. If the eighth seed beats the ninth seed, ninth seed's out. If the ninth seed beats the eighth seed, seeds out if the nine seed beats the eight seed they play again for a winner take all there to go in there so the nba went in deep on how they would figure out who makes it who doesn't make it but it was very obvious that zion was the reason why they were doing it and who can blame them the guy's draining threes now in the in quarantine

he got tweeted a video of him just going splash city from the corner and the guy can jump over the backboard if he wants to at the 270 pounds it looks like. What's up, Diggs? Yeah, so it's very interesting in the West because the eight seed is the Grizzlies and then three and a half back is the Blazers, Pelicans, and Kings. Spurs are four games back. So those four teams are pretty much fighting for that ninth

spot. Kings are done. No, seriously, they've lost a couple guys. They've actually had a pretty tough go in the bubble hasn't even started yet you heard it here the ncaa will allow student athletes in all sports to wear social justice statements on their uniforms including replacing last name with words to celebrate or memorialize people events or other causes tweets shams sharania so it appears as if the ncaa is obviously uh getting off of its gustavo like feel where it rains down on every single moment of everybody's decision but it feels like they think they're coming back to sports by the way the acc

released a 11 game schedule notre dame's in there they're saying that some stadiums are going to be able to be filled this is big I had a lot of dot about college football coming back because the people making decisions are potentially people that, I don't want to say don't like football, but don't even really care about sports much. Like these people are in the medicine world or in the admissions or something like that. But the ACC was like, nah not here we go september 7th to 12th in scheduling a model that will include 11 games 10 conference one non-conference notre dame will also play a 10 note her name will play a 10 game conference schedule and be eligible to compete in 2020 acc football championship they're like listen you saw the big 10 say it you saw the pac-12 agree

with it reported wise now we're jumping in saying this is what we're doing it's going off you need to get the hell off's going off you need to get the hell off the tracks if you want to stop this train i'm intrigued to see how they pull it off but they say they're doing it i mean hey i'm glad any uh what maybe go back a week or two weeks like i don't think you or me had a whole lot of hope that college football was going to find a way to make it happen and right now we still have multiple teams where their facility is shut down until early August because they had so many positive tests. Who needs a facility?

Just got to roll the ball on the field, boys. Go play football. Go play football. That's what Coach O said. Coach O said they'll play anywhere, anytime. Go Tigers. He's also already a national champion, so he can chill for the next couple years and still be beloved.

There's a lot of teams, a lot of business in this and how about the students i mean virginia tech kid what's the cornerback from virginia tech caleb farley caleb farley who i guess is the first round talent potentially projected in the secondary he's sitting out and saying i'm just going to train uh for the nfl which we talked about i think a couple weeks ago at what point do some of these college athletes with their schedule being completely up in the air whether or not they're going to play completely up in the air decide you know what let's go ahead and start turning the eyes to the prize which is making money in the nfl instead of having to worry mentally like do we have a season do we not have a season do i have practice do i not have practice how many people can i practice with or whatever let me just focus on going and getting this money a year from now and now that's obviously assuming that a year from now everything's going

to be okay i mean that's who knows with this world this was originally supposed to be two weeks if we do recall so i like this move by this kid but if virginia tech ends up playing a season this year i would assume he'll watch and be bummed out about it. But if he gets drafted in the first round, he's got that bank, and we just move on. How do you think Lou Holtz feels about Notre Dame joining the ACC, though? Does that take away some of the aura that Notre Dame has around him? Well, yeah, it's horseshit. I mean, that would never happen if I was still there.

But Brian Kelly, I mean, he's got a couple skeletons in his closet. So, I don't know, maybe he just wants to play football this year, but yeah, I have never fucking had it under my watch. Well, horse shit was a very aggressive word to say. You know? And throwing multiple coaches under the bus. I mean, obviously speaking as Lou, but then throwing Brian Kelly

under the bus, too. It wasn't Ty. No, I didn't say anything. What a fucking straight face. You just said that. What a straight face. You just pawn these things off on your mouth, your brain, your words on somebody else. Hey, what do you want me to do? I mean, like I said, horseshit.

Wait, who said it? Hey, man, these new chairs. AJ, what do you think of these new chairs that ty's using right here what do you think about it let me see what do you think of that what do you think exactly like the little guy like when you go to the halloween stores that pop up in the giant buildings for the month of october he looks like that guy when you walk in he scares your little kids like right the front door he He's got one. I forget who else.

There's a couple other. My brother's using one. It's a lot more comfortable than those chairs. A lot more comfortable. Yeah, but have you looked at how you look in it? You literally look like. Why does it have to be blue? Can't it all be black?

What's the two-tone? There's different colors. We can spray paint it. The company sent it to us. So these people are very, very nice. And you're saying these are the real deal. I mean, I was, Foxy and I have been talking about that. I mean, I think everyone.

These chairs get uncomfortable after a while. And this thing is a godsend. I will say my chair is terrible for sitting on it for a long time. And I've just kind of powered through, like kind of, you know, feel old school. Like, it's a fucking chair. Hell yeah. But then I see Ty over there just living his best life, sitting on a fucking cloud with back support, it looks like. He's just living.

And this all comes after, by the way, he was rudely, surprisingly shoved through his sternum and injured throughout an entire process. So I'm happy they sent it. What's the company? Respawn? Yeah. Respawn. Respawn. I think those chairs are worth like maybe seven eight thousand bucks or something 240 how much

240 oh that's not bad at all i assume you you agree that it's worth it oh yeah well worth 240 this little thing was worth a lot a lot of money and it wasn't anywhere near the your kickstand down the bottom fell off like the first day you had it. Yeah. And the wheels don't work. The wheels on the bus. It's tough, AJ. I mean, we struggle through, though. We do what we got to do, you know? Yeah, I've been there.

I sat in that chair for a week when you were on some kind of vacation, I think back in February. I don't know. Yeah, you're a gritty, rust belt guy. That's what you do. You don't worry about the chair. You just sit there and do your show. Thank you, AJ.

I appreciate that. I got yelled at on Twitter last night out of nowhere. What? Bullshit. Traveling back from the burg with my tux, prize, possession secured. And the Wi-Fi on planes is always kind of shoddy. You know, AJ? They come, they go.

One flight attendant actually told me, we're on an airplane. And then she just walked by. I was like, all right. Yeah, I guess you're 100 right so i upload i refresh my twitter feed and then something had happened i guess in the last 15 minutes from the time i had service to when i got service again enough to load my twitter feed i guess nxt ran a recap of my interactions with adam cole and triple h i had a thousand wrestling people telling me I was the worst human on earth.

I was literally just sitting on that plane, uploading my Twitter, and then my mentions just go, you're the biggest douchebag. I'm like, what the fuck happened? I thought Billy Tubes, I thought Billy Tubes re-algorithmed the video to get back into people's time.

I thought people were seeing the video for the first time or whatever. They aired it on NXT last night. I got attacked, I guess. Boy, that's a wild scene. Do you ever use Twitter, AJ? I feel like you never get on Twitter. You have no idea what I just said there.

I look at Twitter a decent amount. That's how I kind of find my news. It puts everything in one place for me and pulls it together. So that's the main thing. I read a lot of stuff on Twitter, but I'm not very active, I would say. I think you would be good on Twitter. I don't think so, man. Whatever.

If anything I've ever thought, like, oh, I should put something out. Nope, never happened. That's what Zito does, too. That's a lot of people's problem. A lot of people don't have the confidence to pull the trigger on. Zito has... Take your hacks, baby.

Zito probably has 1,000 to 2,000 sitting in his drafts that would do very well but he doesn't pull the trigger he does we had to like like it's literally a conversation where more than two of us have to go zito put that out like zito put it out and he was like maybe tomorrow or something like that it's like no put it out like that's a part like the purpose of twitter is to tweet i i remember when i was tweeting earlier uh billy we'll ask you about the algorithms here in a second the when i was tweeting in my young career people would tweet me and say you're tweeting too much it's like yo that's a fucking hey i hate to

break to you this is what fucking twitter is like these are all you have an account if you say i tweet to me why do you have an account isn't that what we're doing here hey this is what this is but that's what twitter is you know it's so fast paced you got to get in there you kind of got to understand the landscape. Speaking of landscape, I literally thought you re-algorithmed that video last night with the amount of hate I was getting from wrestling people, Billy. Oh, no. I changed the tags on the back.

Yeah. No, it got kicked back up. Oh, so you did do that. Billy just, I'm on a plane. I'm living my life. You know what I mean? And Billy's just like, hold on. Let's fucking throw in a little curveball into this guy's happiness here let's get people to attack and usa w nxt every wednesday

eight o'clock they ran it in the middle of that as well so not only is billy coming against me but then out of nowhere literally had no clue what's happening did not know what's happening probably would have watched if i knew what's happening and tweeted alongside of it and it just starts so i didn't know you uh you tag teamedteamed me uh with the NXT there Billy I really appreciate it I was actually watching NXT and I saw them run the package and I was like oh all right let's let's go at it see that's why you got Billy tubes in the office right there I appreciate you too Bill more than all the rest of the boys thanks AJ I'm coming over for dinner tonight right can't Can't wait. Cool. I live in Indianapolis. What's your deal?

Why'd you just try to bury all of us in Billy's eyes for yourself? Good for yourself. I wasn't burying him. I just didn't want him to show up to my house. By the way, this is what the poll said, okay? So you win. What do you mean? You dominated in this poll.

That's what I'm saying. I actually retweeted that poll Because of the amount of people That were attacking me I was like You know what Let's put it to the test then 73-27

Go to hell Adam Cole But the vocal minority Stooges Came at him Came at me And I didn't expect it To be honest I'm getting married in a couple days

Yeah That's what you want though Anything to do with wrestling Isn't that what you want You just want Attention one way or the other Good or bad Does it matter I didn't sign up for that like you guys sam roberts his whole role is getting hated on isn't it yeah but sam like loves that like i'm not i'm not in that

i'm not trying to be hated by humans like i like a happy upbeat like hey let's have like i like my twitter being a positive place like i i don't mind my mentions like going in there and just being like hey how's it going like i i don't mind that there's some people that love the drama and i am not i ain't about it i ain't about because i like being on twitter i enjoy it i'm on there a lot it's where i get my news as well it has gone very negative it feels like so it's been hard to kind of do that but i feel like if you just got a toxic pit in your hand all day probably going to affect you a little bit so for me i like my positive life so every once in a while whenever there's just a wave of people douchebag fuck you asshole adam cole should have shoved that mic up your ass somebody tweeted me i'm like oh my jesus yes i'm like all right i

guess we get off of twitter here for about 20 30 30 minutes. But that's the way you go. Things go like that sometimes. NBA's back tonight, AJ. Have you bet? Oh, you're in Ohio. Oh, I can't. Drive to the border. You should drive to Indiana for the Spread the Love campaign with FanDuel right now. We got the Lakers at plus. It was 16 before the show.

It may be 17 because we're only 698 away. So we're at plus 18 with 1379 until we're at plus 19. Okay, so we're at plus 18. We move the line. We move the line from minus 4 to plus 18. Every 2,500 people that lock in on the Spread the Love campaign, boom, it goes up a point. So we're at Lakers plus 18 right now.

That should be free money for everybody. We should keep hammering that, though, in all states that are legal of age. And let's go ahead and just lock in some money tonight while we watch the Lakers and Clippers come back to basketball with 25 cameras on the court, with a gym that everybody thinks they're going to get wet in. I mean, basketball is back, and we're making money off of it. We need you to join in with us. That means we're up to 50,000 people who have put a bet in on the Lakers and $2.75 million if everyone bet $50.

How about that? Hey, how does that work, though? If you can't do it, is Ohio not open for online betting? How does it work? Not today. Don't worry about it. You're out. So can you get a VPN?

Can you do a VPN and say I'm an indie? No, you can't do that. I'm not sure I'm allowed to give that answer. I don't know how to do that anyway. I've just heard it. I've heard other people say that. It shows up in my Twitter comments a lot because there's a lot of people that are like, man, I wish I could be a part of this free money in California or whatever.

And then some super smart person will go in there and be like, bingo, bingo. Here's this, here's this, here's this. I don't know how any of it works. I don't know if it's legit either. And I don't, I don't, I don't, I have no idea. But if you are in a state where it's available, this is free money tonight. We just got a band together. 50,000 people on our team. Hell yeah.

Fuck yeah. Let's go. 1,400 more till we're at plus 19. Here we go. That's awesome. I think400 more until we're at plus 19. Here we go. That's awesome. Think it's a guaranteed win for the Lakers? Bro, we did this with the Colts and the Saints, and I think it was plus 59.

I forget what it was. Plus 50-something. The Saints came out hot. They were up like 30. They were up 30 in either the first quarter or the second quarter, and I was like, there's no fucking way we lose this. But I got a text from the Colts PR guy afterwards. He was like, thought you were going to lose.

That would have been bad. I'm like, you're telling fucking me. But I think we should win this. I think we should win this. Yeah. But if we get that thing to plus 20, plus 25, now we're playing the game. Now we are playing the game. Clips got a few guys out. LeBron's not going to let him lose by 20. It 25. Yeah. Now we're playing the game. Now we are playing the game.

Clips got a few guys out. LeBron's not going to let him lose by 20. It's free money, but we had to do it as a team. Still have to do it for a team. And we're asking you to join us, AJ. Next time we get Jet passing on, we need to ask him. Yesterday I said, like, if you remember, I was like, do you think Manfred's going to try to make an example out of Joe Kelly?

He's like, no, there's no reason for that. Okay. What, he gets suspended for 20% of the season? What's up, Jet? Eight games? an example out of joe kelly he's like no there's no reason for that okay what do you get suspended for 20 of the season eight games yeah it would have been 22 games in a regular season it's 13 of the season and this is because joe kelly that's the face is awesome a not an awesome face go cry about it shut the up 96 monar heat at somebody's head which by the way captivated the internet captivated the sports talk world the mlb was the talking point on whether or not that was tradition in baseball you fuck us over we're gonna bean you you hit one of our guys we'll hit one of

your guys the strike zone might not be the same exact every night the umpire gets to do it so for me i thought the over suspension there is just another lack of self awareness by rob manfred and everybody said it the internet was a buzz about it carabas from barstool covers baseball said it he got suspended mightily in the houston astros who got caught cheating actually got you got suspended no games and the Houston Astros, who got caught cheating. Actually got suspended no games and actually got protected in this entire thing. And if he goes two, three games there, I think everybody's like, yeah, okay. I mean, he threw something, a projectile almost 100 miles an hour in another guy's face. I mean, okay, two, three games there.

The extent of it, how big it is, it's just like, come on, dude. This is another dumb thing. And by the way, I might be wrong here. I think it was good for baseball. I think a lot of people thought it was good for baseball. It's great for baseball. Same thing like NASCAR. Why wrecks, if nobody gets hurt, are great for NASCAR too. The networks putting it on, they understand.

Actually, the best thing that NASCAR loves is after races when racers go in, they confront another guy, and they get in a weird fist fight. When one of them has a helmet on, they still have the neck harness and then all the pit crew jumps in. Yeah. Like that's what people absolutely love. But I guess Joe Kelly, they even said in that tweet, it's because of what his, his previous interactions he's had with batters he's thrown at people before. So it's like in the NFL, if you get your first time helmet to helmet,

you're going to get fined 25K. Your second time, you might be 75. And they always just continue to put more and more on top of it. I think James Harrison had like a $700,000 fine at one point that one season whenever they were trying to change football completely from James Harrison's style of football to the modern style of football. And they might as well have just told James Harrison and others that played similar to him.

I assume you were similar in the way you were taught playing football, especially with the story about you ending Kirk Herbstreet's life, basically with your helmet to his jaw. There was a couple of guys there in that transition where everything they had been taught and everything that had made them all their money and everything that had put them in the NFL, they were told immediately overnight, you can't play like this anymore. If you do you're gonna get fined you're gonna get suspended and

everybody's like what the fuck literally you guys used to lead out of commercials with highlights of us you got jacked up was the reason why we were the game i mean it was the sport this is why we do it oh we're not anymore gonna have to get over it and this for the future of the game okay we got uh a lot of karens and stuff like that, trying not to play football anymore. Their kids will not play football anymore because of that. So you have to change it. Those fines used to get so massive. James Harrison was just like playing for free basically for like three years. And were you in the middle of that? Did you play in the middle of that era? And how difficult was that to go to the strike zone, heads up football,

can't lay on top of the quarterback? Clay Matthews is still getting fucked by this. Can't go all the way on to quarterback. I mean, it was a wild time for you guys in that finding world. I think it's the most difficult for probably safeties because they're running and hitting, guys going full speed across the middle. It's going to be a monster shot, but you've got to pick the right spot. You've got to hit them right in the chest,

or else they're going to give you a flag most likely. I think it's toughest, though, on outside rushers. If you're rushing a quarterback, you know how difficult it is. You may have 55 rushes in a game, and when you finally win one, when the quarterback's still holding on to the ball, you might get screwed and get a penalty and take your sack away, everything that gets you those big old contracts. So it's toughest for them most likely.

But I don't know. I don't know if it's going to ever go back. I don't think it'll ever go back to what it was. But maybe they'll relax it a little bit on QBs. Let's go back to Joe Kelly, though. Joe Kelly proved this offseason at his house. He doesn't always have control of the ball. So maybe he can say,

you think I was aiming at that guy's head? Have you seen the video from this offseason where I broke a window at my house when I was trying to throw it down a bowling alley? You know what I mean? Like, I like this. I like what Joe Kelly did. Is he my favorite player?

Him and Trevor Bauer, Power R, and Tucker Barnhart are probably battling for the top spot. But I love this guy even more. and I think he's getting screwed here. I think he's getting completely screwed here. Do you think this big suspension is going to make other teams not throw at the Astros? Like, is it going to work? I think so.

So I guess long-term, maybe it is a good idea because it won't get talked about. Now, the commentators will talk about the Astros, I assume, the first 15, 20 games of the 60-game season, they'll talk about it, they'll mention it, and then maybe that'll fizzle out. But the networks might want to mention it, but you know Major League Baseball doesn't want the networks

continuing to remind people about the whole Astros scandal. That was Diggs' big take. Diggs was like, they punished them so that the pitchers won't throw at them anymore, not only for safe reasons, because it might, in their eyes, make baseball look bad. I disagree. We talked about it a lot. It's awesome.

I actually liked it. I think everybody liked it. But every time that happens, you have to talk about what happened before. And to Diggs' point, that is very accurate. Like, well, it feels like that's potentially for a garbage can payback. And then all of a sudden now,

people are reminded of what happened. So maybe as an adult, Rob Manford made the right decision here. But it still feels like if you won three games in a 60-game season, that is still enough for people to be like, okay, listen, got to really – got to calculate and be cerebral with these beans. We either won it or we don't here. And then it happens.

It doesn't happen. It's still a decision to be made. But this is Rob Manford's bed and he has to sleep in it because he's the one that decided to scrape it under the rug anyways. What if during the suspension, Joe Kelly's like, you know what? I'm pretty upset at the league. I'm going to be reckless. I'm going to go about town, go around, cruise around,

all of a sudden gets infected with COVID, comes back to the squad. What if that happens? That's a little bit of a backfire. He's got a family. back to the squad. What if that happens? That's a little bit of a backfire. Hey, there are some rumors in the Scoopsy, in the Zeet Scoopsy rumor mill about what happened with the Marlins. And it is salacious.

Juicy. It is very juicy. Can't say it. Can't do it. Can I say it? But from the story that we haven't got it confirmed by somebody else. So Zito has a friend. Allegedly. Why don't you say allegedly? This is what we heard. We need a second source.

Well, we need. This is very salacious. So, I mean, this is something that we should not. Two sources. But if it is what is being reported to Zito, which sounds ridiculous coming out of my mouth. So take that for however you want to take it. It is something the MLB could not have stopped. Like the MLB in their protocols and their guides and everything

could not have stopped. It's just like players are going to do what players are going to do every once in a while. And you just got to hope that they choose not to, especially after this scare. So when that thing came out and said, oh, it's rumored that the Marlins went to have a little fun, I think it said in a tweet.

A little? Zito, we don't know if it's accurate. I like to do those comments. But the MLB did. Each team gets assigned a COVID guy to be like, hey, don't do that. Yeah, I don't know how. If it's what we were told it was,

I don't know if there's going to be enough of a COVID counselor to get involved there to stop that whole thing. Drop it. I don't know. Guys. Drop it. Separate. Where did you guys get this information?

Zito. Zito Source. It seems legit. It seems real legit. Hey, listen. The coronavirus compliance commander could have never stopped what this is allegedly to have happened, by the way. Not a lot of things could have stopped it.

Could have never. I don't know if he would have even known it was going down, but it is something that I assume the rest of the MLB is rather pissed off about because they probably had opportunities to do similar-like activities, and they've chosen not to. And since a couple guys potentially chose not to adhere to that, and now the entire team gets affected, now games are getting canceled, and it was the day before NFL training camp. If the story is real and we'll let somebody else report it,

we'll let the internet report it. And then we'll talk about it. We have to report what happens on the internet. I'm not the person that breaks the news, but it is. It almost fucked up a lot of things. It legit. Oh yeah.

Let's put the whole, we'll be done. It was two. Now, now two Phillies players tested positive. No. No. Clubhouse guy and a coach.

Two Phillies personnel. How'd they get it? From the Marlins? We don't know. We don't know. Because if it wasn't from the Marlins, are they potentially doing the same thing that we're hearing that the players did?

Uh-oh. But now Phillies Blue Jays is postponed this weekend. They're not playing. Oh, my Blue Jays? Bro, if we know anything, we know that Rob Manford is going to make a good decision. And also we know that this is a huge week in the Canada dipping history. Well, last couple of weeks. As they have finally launched a flavor of all flavors.

Winter green. Flavor of all flavors, wintergreen. People who chew tobacco need to get on with it. It ain't the thing to do anymore. All you're doing is hurting yourself, and you're barely getting a buzz anymore. There are alternatives out there. Most of them have been shit. Welcome to your alternative. Welcome to your new lifestyle.

So Cannadips, they're CBD pouches that taste great. They make your body feel better. They give you the habit of chewing and spitting. Now they have the flavor of all flavors, wintergreen. As all you know in the Midwest, the guys out here love grizzly, long cut wintergreen. I don't know that. I honestly don't know if that's true or not or if that's just a stereotype. I mean, a lot of people...

Stereotypically true. ...to Chris, but... Well, yeah. Okay, well, if that's what a lot of dudes do, good news. In a spirit of Bearing a Better Man, Canada Dips wants to challenge everyone to put down the bear, the grizzly bear, and pick up the Northern California

Let's go. Have a good time over there. And that comes from that part of California where it grows all the wheat. Humboldt County. Humboldt County. Humboldt County, yeah. Shut up. Is dip flavor like a regional thing? Is wintergreen a Midwest?

What do they do out west? Down south. I don't think so. I mean, it's just a big flavor. Mint, wintergreen. But I would assume there's more people dipping into Midwest

than anywhere else. Probably. Why do you think that? Farmers. Outside. More outside. You know what? I was walking through New York with Sam one time, and there was a couple in front of us.

Young professional couple. One had a suit on. One is dressed up. She was dressed up professional. He had a suit on. They were sharing a bottle, spitting, while walking through New York City. I'd never seen anything fucking like it before. I stopped Sam.

I was like, look at what's happening right in front of us right now. And he goes, and then he passed it over to her, and she goes. Yeah, that's a little much. And then I was so mind blown. Yeah, that's New York. I bet you the South would give the Midwest a run probably for chewers. Also, Texas, too. Just Texas in general.

Just Texas, Oklahoma. The region of Texas. Yeah. So the middle of America, though, is where all the dipping is. Okay. Hey, I got a question for Ty or any of the boys. Let's say you're dipping and you've been dipping for years and your lady comes to you and she says,

Hey, I want you to quit dipping. You're like, sorry, I can't do that. Not going to happen. She said, all right, you don't have to quit dipping. You're like, sorry, I can't do that. Not going to happen. She said, all right, you don't have to quit dipping, but if you continue, like every time you throw a dip in, I will throw a dip in as well. Would that make you quit? She couldn't hang.

Yeah, but that's a dangerous game because guess what? You know what? Oh, you want to do that? I'm going to put three in, then we'll put it to the test immediately. And then when you start puking, you know, it's like, all right, see? So we're not going to do that again. All right. You put one top shelf and bottom?

Oh, yeah. Do the pyramid. Two on the bottom, one up top. It's like when your old man makes you drink too much booze when you get caught boozing and you just puke it all up

and never do that again, will you? I heard that happen. How'd that work? I heard that happen. No, not you. Oh, man. That happened, fucking booze bag. That happened.

Yo, Mike. I heard that was... That never happened? Your dad didn't make you drink a little bit extra one night because you came home maybe a little boozed up? No, my dad's never done that. Oh! Really?

You wouldn't lie to your boss, would you? No, I would not. I have been offered a full tin of dip to throw in when I got caught dipping one time. Oh, okay. And did you put it in? No, I did not put it in. Smart. Stop dipping.

That's going to be the type of dad I'm going to be, by the way. Kid comes home drunk, sit down, bub, playing a game of flip cup, you and me, rest of the night. We're going full cups, too. We'll see how much you want to drink in the morning, pal. See once you puke out your entire innards how you feel about drinking. Are you a cool guy now? Are you cool? By the way, you're going to school, too.

Let's go ahead and do this thing. Be a Rust Belt dad. Yeah, you're a Rust Belt dad. Rust Belt dad. I'm drinking water, by the way. You're drinking beer the entire time. Now you've got to put him under the table. I don't know if I'll be able to at this point.

It is. Alcohol kills me, AJ I'll be able to at this point. It is. Alcohol kills me, AJ. It kills me now at this point. My body is the softest body of all time. I used to be able to do it and do it and do it well and do it again. Now I just can't do it, AJ. Just can't do it. Yeah.

I understand more than anybody. When's the last time you were, like, truly hammered? Bachelor party. Bachelor party, I had a lot to drink. But that's, I mean, that's expected. It's the last time you were like truly hammered? Bachelor party. Bachelor party, I had a lot to drink. But that's, I mean, that's expected.

It's bachelor party. Golf outing. You also, you ate 7,000 milligrams of THC. True. I think that was the more impressive feat.

I don't think that gets talked about enough. It doesn't. Foxy, Foxy gets mind blown whenever I'm fucking, I've seen Pat do a lot of things and i'm like that's just pat like keep it moving so used but when he inhales like an entire joint before a

show or something i'm just like how how i don't understand it it makes no sense there's been some big situations where i've been like oh this would be a lot this would be a lot better story if i just fucking go ahead and take this bad boy down it'd be like uh a 50 milligram or whatever, maybe a 20 milligram right before a massive thing. It's like, yeah, much better story. Let's go ahead and toss it in there. And then the entire time, Fox is just watching through the camera, and he's just like, I don't know how you're fucking doing this right now. It makes no sense. Yeah, there's functioning alcoholics.

Pat is a thriving vitamin taker. There you go. Well, you know, some things are for everybody else some things are just for me you know some things are just for me like i would like to you know like i kind of you know it's a little game i'm playing too like everybody it's unbelievable maybe that's why i don't get bored maybe that's why i don't get bored with things because people don't even know i'm battling right now you don't even know what's going on up here there is an entire war zone going on bro that's what yeah, hey, that's how you fight off boredom, I guess.

If someone comes to you and tells you they're bored, you tell them, hey, I got something for you, pal. Listen, try to take down more milligrams than you did in your entire life. Just try to take it down and then see if you can just go ahead and do it. It's pretty cool. I mean, it's a good time. I never, so when I was training kicking balls in my backyard, I would obviously utilize vitamins because I thought it made me think deeper

and let me get the swing down a little bit. Never in a million years would I have ever done it for a game, though. I guess there's guys that do it for games and stuff. Oh, yeah. You are a madman. There's people that drink before games. I heard David Faraday talk about some player he was talking to, and the guy said, I figured out my problem

I practice drunk and I compete sober and I've been competing terrible so he's like then you know the answer you've got to compete drunk too no practice sober I think that's the right answer but it is I don't know maybe not maybe he's in the groove like you said on your

bachelor party weekend you ingested so many vitamins. Your golf game was on point. You were playing so well. Like maybe that's how a lot of people are with booze. Maybe my best round actually that I've ever had might have been the last day of that bachelor party. It was very good.

I felt like a real golfer. It was fun. It was a lot of fun. I could see why they enjoy it. It was like pin seeking. And I actually heard that sound in my head, too, because how foregone I was. I'm like, look at that coming down. And then you had all those.

You had 15 pizzas that AQ ordered for everybody. Yeah, real hero. Fucking hero. But I'd be standing over the ball. I'd be standing over the ball. I'm like, all right, man. It's been working so far, hasn't it? Yep.

Well, let's not fucking overthink it here. Well, of course not. Let's just swing the shit out of it. Yeah. Wrong club. All right, let's get another thing. I mean, it was a full breakdown of golf before every single shot, though, that I was going on.

I was like, Jesus Christ. Maybe this is what Sergio Garcia is doing that whole fucking thing. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Is that the show? going on. I was like, Jesus Christ. Maybe this is what Sergio Garcia's doing, that old fucking guy. Alright. Is that the show? Are you coming to the wedding Saturday? I'm sorry, I have a previous...

What the fuck? Apologize. Diggs is demanding an apology. Did you hear that? I did not hear him. I didn't see on the invites, did you put no kids allowed? Yeah, for sure.

That's a solid move. Solid move. If anyone, if there's anyone on the planet that doesn't want little kids screaming while you're reading your vows, it's you. So I think that's a good move on your part. Hey, we're memorizing the vows. What are vows sound like? I don't think I've ever paid attention to that part of the movie. A memorizing the vowels. What are what do vowels sound like? I don't think I've ever paid attention to that part of the movie. A-E-I-O-U. And sometimes why?

You knew that was coming. Yeah, I guess. I never paid attention to that part of the movie though. What is it? What do you just like to say nice things? Do you write your own vowels? Yeah, we're writing our own but I mean I've got ideas but I don't know what they're supposed to be. Is this supposed to be funny? I always love you. No, not normally funny. People read their vowels.

Talk about you're the wind to your... She's the wind to your sails. Yeah, listen to a Creed song. You'll be all right. I just heard... You can hire Scott Stapp. Is he playing your... Who's today?

Seems my life is going to change. I close my eyes. I begin to pray. Is that right? Yeah. In tears of joy. Strip down my faith. With all my

All my He's gonna miss the fucking baby then Okay Baby's small Put him a little bit closer pal Like you're catching a punt Okay Take it easy

Not like you're hugging somebody Get some of those in They get a lot of heat Maybe I do right I promise To be Homs Wide a little pond

When We decide to procreate At one point in the future, whether it's near or far. So wait, you're going to memorize them? Like people's vows, that's something that it's okay for people to read? I don't read, dude.

I respect it. I wouldn't want to either. I hate reading. I think I have to write them down, though. Sam said I have to write them down because there's like a vow book that's like a memory thing, I guess. Something like that. I was like, well, cool. Would somebody record it? And then I'll just write them down, though. Sam said I have to write them down because there's like a vowel book that's like a memory thing, I guess. Something like that. I was like, well, cool. Would somebody record it?

And then I'll just write it down afterwards. Yeah, that's a good one. She's like, no, it has to be number four. You could have Zito scribe it for you. Oh, great. Fuck it. Maybe. Oh, yeah.

Oh, my mitts. Mitts. Mitts. Mitts. Mitts. Mitts. Mitts. Mitts.

Mitts. Mitts. Mitts. Mitts. Mitts. you've been preparing for this okay early we would have never put you in this position ever never in a million years but now you watch that video back and you hammer that thing and somehow you got to get the tone in there too maybe all exclamation points if it's a little you know excitable moment what did you say did you just say what the priest guy told you to say yeah i just repeated what he uh said what do they say i i tat I told them like, hey man, my brain is half dead, so you can only do one word at a time. So it took a very long time. I, I, I believe. I believe.

I believe that. I believe that. I believe that we. I believe that we. I believe that we will win. I believe that we will win. I believe that we will win. I believe that we will win. I believe that we will win. I believe that we will win.

I believe that we will win. It's just this. All right. What is that from? U.S. soccer. U.S. soccer. And they stink so bad. I can't wait for Christian Pulisic to put that whole score on his back.

Because that chant is the greatest chant that I've ever heard. And I wish that we could actually believe that we would win with that team, which I believe is right around the corner because Christian Pulisic is the greatest footballer on planet Earth. Hey, I can't debate that. I don't know. I need to tune in and watch it. When you were mentioning Mitt in the minutes,

don't you think right now Mitt could give you your first three or four lines of your vows? Yeah, probably. I think you could just free ball him off the top of his head. Yeah, Mitt, let me know what you think I should say here. Why don't we get a good three lines you think should be my first three in the house? Mitt, pick a moment.

Go ahead, Mitt. Go ahead, Mitt. Come on, Mitt. Oh, no. You got it, dude. Just use your words. Come on, B-Rabbit. I don't know, dude. Say I love you. Come on B-Rabbit. I'm nervous.

I'm nervous. I'm nervous. I love you. This is good service. This is good service. I look calm and ready to drop bombs, but I keep on forgetting what I wrote down. The whole crowd goes to loud. He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out.

He's choking now. Everybody's choking now. The clock is on. The time's up. Over and out. Snap back to reality. Oh, there goes Vanity. Oh, there goes Vanity. Oh, there goes Vanity, oh.

He's home, Vanity, whoa. Good luck out there, man. So I love you is a good start. Please. You're going to be a great dad, probably. That should be in the balance. Say that to his wife. I love you.

I love you. I'm going to be a great dad. I love you. You're going to be a great dad. You are a donkey. But you know I'm going to be a great dad. I love you. You're going to be a great dad. You are a donkey. But you know I'm going to be a great dad. Okay. Well, anything else?

All right. Sorry to put you on the spot. I thought you had something. No, you did not think that. You put him in a terrible spot on purpose right there. AJ, any final words here as I go into my wedding weekend?

No, I mean, I'm glad you're not nervous. There's no reason to be nervous. You're going to do great. You're going to perform up there. Like when you're doing your vows, I think you're going to get a few chuckles. You know, it's not supposed to be funny. Your nature, you will naturally throw in a few funny quips.

But one thing I do tell, I have said to somebody, people are like, oh, what's the best day of your life? Oh, my wedding day is the best day of my life. Absolutely not. Then your marriage sucks, man. Like my wedding day was not the best day of my life. Hopefully you like the person enough to where it continues. Your relationship grows. If your wedding day is your best day, like, okay, then why am I getting married? It all is downhill from here. You're a, I love that mindset. So if it sucks, I know like, Hey,

this is supposed to be the worst day of my life. Not the best day of my life. The best day of my life will be every single day. I get to wake up next to my bride. Hell yeah! Samantha McAfee. There's your vows. So your wife's watching right now? Yep. My wife?

Yeah. Not a chance. She hates the show? No, she loves it, but she's got 4,000 things she's doing. She'll tune in. She's watched some of them. She will. My she will my parents saw my parents last night and they they enjoy the show and my mom's like oh i'll tell you what aj

The NHL has checked into their bubbles in Toronto and Edmonton. Joining us now from the bubble, a man who can be found in between the glass. Ladies and gentlemen, friend of the show, Pierre Maguire. Yeah! Pierre, you already got your playoff beard going, I see. I do, Pat.

It's been day four of quarantine. One more day to go and I'm out of quarantine, which is kind of neat. Okay, so you check in there. You got five days quarantine, no matter who you are? Well, the players only had four. I had five because I didn't get here until after 12 o'clock on Monday afternoon, so I'm in quarantine until tomorrow. Semantics, they had to punish you.

They had to tax you a little bit. You get here a little bit earlier. Were you in the hotel that lost its air conditioning yesterday? And how miserable was that? Well, I was not in that hotel. But our hotel did lose some air conditioning for a while. But we had a fire alarm in our hotel, Pat. So this is kind of a funny but interesting story as well.

I was told not to leave my room when I checked in by the health care professional. Well, there's a fire alarm in the hotel. What am I supposed to do, stay in my room? And I didn't have the credential to get back into the hotel, which you have to have the credentials. It's like your get-out-of-jail-free pass. If you don't have it, you can't be in the bubble. Well, you don't get your credential until you get out of quarantine.

So here I was outside the hotel proper, inside the fencing, though, and they're like, what are you doing? Where are you from? Why aren't you in possession of a credential? So I explained the whole thing, and then the guy recognized me. He says, I didn't recognize you with your beard. I now know who you are. You're welcome to come into the hotel.

Ah, nice. What a pickle you were in. What time was that fire alarm? Was it like early morning fire alarm? Was it just basic? No. It was a 3 o'clock in the afternoon was that fire alarm was it like early morning fire alarm was it just basically all okay it was at three o'clock in the afternoon mountain time fire alarm and believe it or not i have a contracted radio show that i do every day in montreal uh for the radio station there and

they were hearing the fire alarm they go are you okay i said i gotta get out outside i'll call you back when i'm done with this fire who pulled it was it just a malfunction or is there somebody in there trying to you know jostle some jones or some jaws a little bit well you know as a professional athlete so from time to time that stuff can happen i'm not sure that's what happened in this case though um how is it you i guess you don't know because you've literally just been locked up in your room i assume you've been talking to people though both in toronto and edmonton we just got off the phone with Terrence Ross, who's the sixth man for the Orlando Magic down in Orlando, and he talked about how the fishing, the golfing, the pool,

that was all very cool for the first couple days, but obviously guys got sick of it. But now their season's starting tonight, so it's not really going to matter. Time's going to pass quickly. We've seen a lot of video of NHL players, whether it's playing tennis on the day of the game. you're the pittsburgh penguins let's not lose the flyers ever but it was a practice game whatever you got to do there's golf simulators there's some other stuff going on what have you been hearing about the layout of the nhl and how

they've done throughout this entire thing uh i think the players and the coaches are blown away by the level of preparation the attention to detail and the professionalism of the national hockey league and the nhl of the National Hockey League and the NHLPA, the Players Association. Millstone has been left unturned. They're probably in the most secure area they could be in. They've got plenty of things to do. Obviously, it's a pretty strict environment and will remain strict all the way to the end. So you're probably looking, if you're staying and playing to the Stanley Cup final, you're probably looking at two months of this. But so far, everybody's had no problem with everything that's gone on.

And I've got to tell you, even though I've been in quarantine for two weeks before I got here, I had to get in quarantine in my native province of Quebec in order to fly from a Canadian point city to another Canadian point city. I have no complaints. I've been treated unbelievably well by the hotel management, by the NHL, and by my network at NBC. So no complaints at all. I don't think anybody else has any either, Pat. We appreciate your sacrifice to get these games done. Tell the NHL players that you talk to that Stooges in Indianapolis, Indiana, appreciate what they're going through here.

Well, there are a lot of Pittsburgh Penguin players that know about your fandom and your respect for their organization. I've got to tell you this, Pat. There are a lot of hockey fans that contact me that watch your show and can't believe how much attention you're giving to hockey, and they're really grateful for that. So as a hockey person, I'm going to say thank you to you as well. Hey, no problem. Let those hockey people know that I'm from hockey-tan, okay?

I am from hockey-tan. I am from the food. We talked to Tantros of the NBA, and I didn't know this. We learned this on the conversation. At the Grand Floridian, which I guess is a very, very, very nice hotel down there, the players, when they order food, they're paying for that food. Whenever they get drinks, they're paying for those drinks. For coffee, they're paying for those drinks.

For some reason, I don't know why I had this in my head, and now it seems like that price tag would be astronomical. I thought it was like open bar wedding. Are you guys in the same situation where if you get food, you have to pay for it? Or is the NHL and the NBC kind of being like, we'll kind of offset the prices here? I think every team's responsible for their own catering. In terms of NBC, I get a per diem like everybody else that works for NBC. So I get a certain dollar value per day. It's kind of like when I was coaching in the league or playing, same kind of thing, you get a per diem like everybody else that works for NBC. So I get a certain dollar value per day.

It's kind of like when I was coaching in the league or playing, same kind of thing. You get a per diem. The long road trips were great, Pat, as you probably know. On football, obviously, you don't have as many long trips. But two-week road trip, you get this massive envelope before you go on the road and be like, ooh, found money, really good. But we're getting up.

Everybody's getting a per diem that's working on the TV side. I think that each organization is responsible for their own catering on the team side. Should I take anything into account that we lost to the Flyers in that game that didn't matter, or did that game not matter at all? Actually, I thought for the first 30 minutes, both teams were a little bit icy and a little bit rusty, and I thought as the game went along, both teams really improved. And, you know, I got to give credit where credit's due. I think Philadelphia's a good team,

and they deserve a lot of what's happened to them this year. Alan Vino, the head coach there, has done a fantastic job with their group. They now play with a significant identity. They're a very good 200-foot team offensively, defensively, and really smart. But I wouldn't be too worried about the Penguins. I think with double trouble down the middle with Malkin and Crosby and the return of Jake Gensler, you've got a team that's going to cause a lot of problems for a lot of teams here.

Double trouble in hockey time. Pierre, I don't know if you got a chance to watch any of the broadcasts yet, but I thought they did a great job blending the crowd noise in after the goals and penalty calls and whatnot. And they said the league has only used like 20% of their quote-unquote bag of tricks for tv can you can you spill a little bit can you tell us a little bit of what they're hiding and what they're yet to reveal i don't know what they're hiding but i can tell you this they've done a phenomenal job in terms of the in-house experience i've watched the games that have been on television here from my

room and uh you know not having you know 20,000 people in a building having to make it seem like there's a positive ambiance I think the league has done a great job with that in terms of covering the seats up and the goal calls and the crowd noise and I think it will only get enhanced and get better as we go along here but I don't know what other bells and whistles they have I know on the production side they're probably 50 cameras per stadium that's a much higher number than we usually have for a regular season game or even a playoff game outside of the stanley cup final so that's a significant amount of cameras that'll give you a different perspective from watching the game from different angle which i don't know if that's going to be good or bad i

hope they just stay with the game cam to be honest with Okay, so you're one of the guys that I'm going to have to battle with here then. So when the stadium series happens, I think it's some of the best television and sports every single year. I think it is awesome. Even if there's a little snowfall, I mean, it's just cool. The throwback jerseys, the outside. I mean, it's like you're watching a movie, basically. And what they have in that, because the football stadium is a little bit bigger,

they have a Skycam that goes down as they're taking their shift or whatever. And I always feel like me and the boys are going down flying V. I feel like I'm a part of it. It's good view. And then they kind of drop out, and then they go to that side shot. I always thought, why don't they have that in every single game? I think it's an awesome shot. And then Nick told me that the hockey purists hate it.

Like super hockey fans absolutely hate it. Feels like you're one of those guys. Why are you one of those guys? Because I want the fans to know who the players are. And when you go to that upper angle shot, they don't even know who the players are. Sometimes even the guys working the games don't know who the players are because the numbers are so jarvel. So it makes it a little bit more difficult. But again, I think there's a fine way to do it. And, by the way, Pat, I totally see you on your point about the Winter Classic or the Stadium Series. I've done all those games, and the angles from that football camera,

the SkyCam that you're talking about are phenomenal. We're not using that right now. It's a different camera. It's at a much higher level. So it'll be interesting to see if they make an adjustment. but i do think that the league has done just an unbelievable job and trying to make this so friendly for the viewers at all and hopefully those of us that are working on the shows can just enhance it that much more no positive tests i believe going into the bubbles for um anybody in the nhl incredible commitment by the entire league and everybody

that's there what is the testing policy When you get out of this quarantine, what will your testing policy be every day, every other day? What will it be? So far it's been every day I've taken for a COVID-19 test. So far, my last one at my home was on last Friday. I got the results on Saturday so I could get on the plane Monday. As soon as I got here, I was given a COVID test. So Monday, Tuesday, Tuesday Wednesday today's Thursday I'll have another one in about 40 minutes and then I have one more tomorrow and then I go

three every five days after that did they stick that thing down your face the whole thing well there's there's two different good questions there are two different ones there's one that goes up your nose and they plug both nostrils and another one where they take a tongue depressor, open up your throat and go down your throat. And I've had both so far and neither one of them is particularly fun to go through, but they don't last very long. They don't last very long. I'll tell you that. Gloves, masks, what's everybody have to do whenever they're around? Masks, masks for everybody. I haven't seen people with gloves on, especially the only person I saw with gloves on when I checked in was a nurse, um, downstairs. He was giving us our tests before we were allowed into the hotel. They took your temperature before you got into the hotel. Uh, I haven't seen any other gloves on anybody else, but everybody's been wearing a mask once they leave their room. Who's going to win Pierre? Who's going to win?

room. Who's going to win, Pierre? Who's going to win? You know, there's so many teams that could possibly win this. And I'm looking at the West, and I'm watching Colorado play, and I'm saying, man, they're really good. I'm watching Edmonton play, and I'm going, man, they're really good. I'm watching Vegas from before they went into the pause. I'm saying they're really good. In the East,

look what Tampa did to Florida yesterday. I see Philadelphia and Pittsburgh being legitimate candidates. Washington put on a beatdown yesterday in Carolina. And then I'm watching the Boston Brewers. I'm saying, man, these teams are good. This is going to be an amazing battle, Patrick. It really is.

It's going to be so much fun to watch. It's going to be playoff hockey the entire time, right? I mean, this is going to be the best form of hockey, which is playoff hockey, maybe the best form of sports. Playoff hockey is next level to watch with a stadium series like coverage. I mean, the NHL might grow legitimately two, three-fold when it comes to a population of a fan base. This is big for the sport, big for the league.

Well, we're really hoping you're bang on with that, and I believe you to be right. You know, the interesting thing, and you've been through it as a player, you worry about the quick turnaround after a four-month pause and getting to intensity levels that these players are going to go to. What's the injury situation going to be? And that's where coaches have to be so smart in terms of managing their work-to-rest ratio when it comes to practice or even ice time for players during games.

You're going to have to be really, really careful and really smart in terms of how you deploy your players. Pierre, I don't know this off the top of my head. For injury reasons, stuff like that, did teams bring extra players that they are potentially secluding by themselves and not being on the bench during games so that somebody does get hurt and they don't have it and they can come in? What a great question.

Great question, and the answer is yes, they did. They were allowed to bring 31 players. There are 52 people allowed in a traveling party. Thirty-one of those bring 31 players. There are 52 people allowed in a traveling party. 31 of those 52 are players. Most teams brought three goalies. Some brought four. But there are extra players here. In the preseason or pre-tournament games, teams were allowed to dress two extra players,

whether it was one defenseman and one forward or two forwards or two defensemen. You could dress extra players. But, no, you stopped to dress 20 to 2. Sorry, 18 and 2. 18 skaters, 2 goalies. But there will be reinforcements that will be available if injuries do happen. Does anybody need any replacement players? I need a guy with big biceps.

How about it? Oh! Up here? How about that guy right there? I think I can play for some money. You got the guns, Pat. You're the most well-conditioned field goal kicker I've ever seen. I'm a punter, Pierre. Learn the show.

Ladies and gentlemen, from the bubble in Edmonton, our favorite hockey guy with a great beard getting out of quarantine tomorrow, giving us the greatest hockey coverage in the history of hockey in this COVID Cup. Ladies and gentlemen, Pierre Maguire. Love you, man. Yeah, Pierre! Woo!

Thank you, Pierre. We appreciate you. Thank you, Pat. Take care of yourself. Be safe, everybody. You too. Stay safe, upper. All right, all right.

That's the show. If you're listening to this on Friday, feel free to send me a tweet saying hey man good luck this weekend if you're listening to this on saturday i'm currently in the middle of probably saying i do i do i do i do i do i probably won't say that because sam will slap me if i was to make it into a mockery but you get it i'm saying yes to forever. Either tomorrow or today. And I'm pumped up, man. Let's get to it. From all of us to all of you, thank you so much. The Enderpod Squad are the fucking heroes in this entire thing.

Going to do some merch specials next week while I'm on my honeymoon. I'll be tweeting them out. You know, just continue to enjoy this community we have, this team we have, this life that we're hopefully living together. Ty Schmidt, please play some independent music. And I hope everybody has the greatest weekend of their lives because I'm hoping to do the same exact thing. Cheers. Bye.
