Let's get to it. That's right. Today, in the middle of the offseason, two days after that June 1st deadline, we heard about potentially being a mover and a shaker for the NFL. We have yet to hear a peep from anybody, but we have a good feeling.

Not good authority or inside sources, but we have a good feeling that something in the NFL is going to happen in the next three hours while we're live here on Sirius XM channel 82 Mad Dog Sports Radio and youtube.com forward slash the Pat McAfee show we can't thank you enough yesterday we had a five thousand dollar ticker trivia giveaway where the answers had to be entered before 405 eastern standard time on Twitter nobody got the questions right.

would like we can't wait to give away ten thousand dollars to somebody out there one eight three three four mac if you cannot wait to chat with you there are some stories and things going on at boston connor ty schmitter here all the boys in the back can't thank you enough the big news um in the football world is something that honestly i and this is i think this is uh ignorance i'd assume this would be considered ignorance right and i think the world you know kind of got introduced to a lot of this in a much um more rapid fashion with the invention of cameras and the internet and things being able to be spread around and learning of stuff and uh you know the whole world is basically jeez

headset down jesus pack down Put it in a pocket Here we go The whole world has been learning a lot more I think about the lives that are lived You know, in the United States of America Right And I feel like a football locker room Is such an amazing place

Because it is truly a melting pot Of all different humans Okay Although we are all humans obviously Are where we're from, our experiences that we've lived, the things we've seen, the things that have happened, those all create you as a person. And in a football locker room, you have people who have been created from basically every type of background you could have. You got the uber

wealthy kids who have always had the greatest training, the greatest everything, and they're very talented and they're in there. You got people that come from nothing, homeless people that have had to work through more adversity than most humans could ever theorize or maybe watch in a movie. Then you have people all walks of life in between different countries or represented religions. There's a football locker room is such a beautiful, beautiful thing. And I was very lucky to be in a very cool position to be in a locker room for the last, you know, not for the last now that I've been retired, but for 12 years of my life, I got a chance to really learn a lot about a lot of things happening in the world.

And I think the rest of the world is doing as such here as we continue to unfold here. is doing as such here as we continue to unfold here this this thing that we just learned this thing that we just learned about in this nfl and nflpa settlement where it was called race norming or something like that just right and by the way this is not this is not something that i you know feel like i want to hear pat m McAfee's motherfucking opinion on this. Okay, this is not something that I think people think that. I just want to let you know that this is something that I think we should all know somehow passed. I guess there was a settlement with these concussions, and this happened way back in the day.

Not way back in the day, but like seven years ago, eight years ago, there was a lawsuit of former players as more signs came out, as Dr. Will Smith and the concussion movie came out and CT became a thing. There was a lot of lawsuits from a lot of ex-players who felt like the NFL, you know, didn't really look out for them now that they're making so much money. Very valid argument, by the way. And the ex-players should also, you know, maybe take a little aim at the NFLPA as well who's supposed to potentially represent them and all players forever instead of but whatever the case

there was a lawsuit with the concussion thing the settlement I guess came out there was a clause in there where you'd have to get tested for your cognitive function and in there somehow agreed to by the NFLPA I believe he was doing the lawsuit and the nfl a lot of lawyers a lot of people in powerful positions i'd assume especially with something this magnitude got it passed it was like uh i guess it said in there if if they're a black person their cognitive function is probably lower than everybody else like this is from the article that i read i don't know what the exact wording was somehow they probably lawyered it up in and had it do something which is what happens in a lot of contracts but i want to let everybody that's fucking absurd i had

no idea that that would be able to happen in the world that we're in i understand that shit like that it happens and there's people like that out there on a daily basis. But I feel like at the world we're in right now, more people are coming together than they ever have. Now, remember George Floyd, you know, the video of George Floyd, which was at nine minutes and 40 some seconds or 10, whatever it was, we find out that whole thing. I feel like that was something that really brought our world together. Everybody was like, that's bullshit. Like, hey, that can't happen.

The whole world was forced to watch. Everybody's locked in inside. Everybody was forced to watch something that does happen that everybody was kind of blind and ignorant to. They're like, nah, that can't happen, that can't happen. I was very lucky, and by lucky, I mean I got to hear a lot of stories from people. I got a chance to go to a lot of communities, a lot of neighborhoods that maybe somebody from the East Hills of Pittsburgh

wouldn't go to, whether it's in South Florida or anywhere else that I've gotten a chance to go to and hear stories and kind of see stuff. And then, you know, because I felt like that kind of helped me in that, by the way, that helps the locker room come together. Whenever you learn about things, you kind of become a tighter group. I feel like the George Floyd sad situation, by the way, sad situation. I feel like that brought a lot of people together. Then obviously protests, riots, everything. There was a distraction automatically.

Instead of listening to each other, it became a no. All of a sudden, everybody's against each other again. It was like, damn it. I feel like we were, for the first time in a long time very very very very close and then now that you read about this it's like god damn there's no how does that get passed how is that okay i i've never read a book in my life okay not proud of it just something that i have gone this far doing and i did not graduate from college i did not graduate high school with honors. Who says that my cognitive function,

which is anywhere higher than anybody else, my enroll is a fucking PhD. So it's just like, I feel like the fact that that got okayed by people, and the people that are normally, by the way, saying that they're fighting against this, they had to okay that as well to get in there.

And that's why this whole story is surfacing because the lawyer said, I know now what I agreed to. It was like, are you fucking kidding me? That is just, that's the big story in the NFL today. And it should be, by the way, because this is like a, this is a life thing. Like, yo, come on. We can act as if, you know, maybe some shit was, this is crazy. And I, whoever decided to do this has to make it right i hope they get it right and let's move forward because the nfl i believe is a unifier

of people you know and and there has been politics that have been brought into that whole thing and obviously that got brought in because of a a potential cry for help and then a fight and then uh you know there was there was nasty things said okay and they never came together never ever came together but i feel like the nfl truly is a unifier and when something like this happens it's like god damn why is it happening here i don't like it i don't like being associated with it and hopefully we'll get this whole thing fixed man because it is that was wild to read about that was fucking wild to read about well and to your point like i mean it's it's not right and it's terrible but if you were to read like uh agreed upon in like 1960 something

like there it'd be like okay well shit was different back then like people were openly very racist and stuff like that but to to see that it was signed in you know 2013 or whatever it's like god damn that really isn't that long ago yeah so we got a long way to go let's do that let's enjoy this life let's be nice to people. Let's do that. Let's enjoy this life. Let's be nice to people. And let's remember that we're all in this motherfucker together. Okay? And whatever happens

to all of us on this rock is going to happen to all of us on this rock. Let's go ahead and try to enjoy this whole thing. That was a bummer to read about, though. Yeah. That really was.

I mean, at least... I was like, hey, these people never talk to me. Yeah. You know, I don't know what whites you were talking about in the league, but you didn't have a conversation with me.

That would have changed this whole thing probably pretty quickly. You should have sent me in there for that thing. It's changed the standard a little bit, but I mean, at least it's being brought up, right? Like the only way you can change shit like this and make sure it doesn't happen again is that it gets addressed. And I would assume a lot of people also are, because I assume a lot of the people that have had to okay to this,

by the way, have probably told a lot of other people that had to okay to this, by the way, have probably told a lot of other people how terrible people they are. Yeah. And I think that's kind of the issue with everything. It exists. We've got to change it. But also, there's a lot of hypocritical folks potentially happening as well. Just buy into this thing and just be in it together. Let's move along.

By the way, I hope that gets fixed. Apparently, it is. I'm not 100% sure. But that's fucked up. By the way, I hope that gets fixed. Apparently it is. I'm not 100% sure. But that's fucked up. That is not great. Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens were back on the practice field. Hey, let me tell you what. Sammy Watkins was with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Success story whenever he was there. Buffalo, unbelievable. Out of Clemson. Went to the Rams, I think, or Chargers or something like that. This guy, awesome guy. He's given a couple interviews, deep thinker, and it seems like all of his teammates have loved being teammates with him. Makes big plays, incredibly talented.

The Baltimore Ravens were in the wide receiver market with everybody. They made offers to Juju. Juju went back to Pittsburgh. They made offers to T.Y. T.Y. went back to Indy. Now, is that because of salary cap and a lot of people are taking one-year deals? Possibly. But the Baltimore Ravens are in the wide receiver market.

Sammy Watkins joins the Baltimore Ravens. Here we go. Hollywood Brown, who said last year the offense may be getting a little predictable. He said, why do you even have dogs if you ain't going to use them or something like that? Ever? Never. And then Lamar said the offense. so you bring in Sammy Watkins, at least we got another weapon, got a couple tight ends.

Here we go. How we doing? Let's keep it moving. The Baltimore Ravens social team has provided us with a clip of Lamar Jackson and Sammy Watkins connecting for a big reception. And if you're a Ravens fan, you're like, hey, crab cakes in football? That's what Maryland does. Wait until you see playoff football, crab cakes, Lamar Jackson, Sammy Watkins,

and it doesn't matter how the ball gets there, Boston Connor. This ball that they put on their social media was asking for Lamar Jackson to get buried. I mean, it was a windy day over there. Nobody's talking about how windy it was. It was, and then Foxy slows it down. Hey, Foxy. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, Foxy, take it down.

In the slow-mo. Sammy Watkins must have massive hands. That is a tough ball to catch, but we are not having any conversation about how windy it was there. And Peyton Manning was mocked and ridiculed for having a wobbly ball. Peyton Manning threw a lot of wobbly

touchdowns too, pal. How about it? This guy was an MVP, alright? Absolutely. This guy was an MVP. If the ball gets there, the ball gets there. But let's not mock and ridicule one particular pass that we just saw on Twitter, will we please? For sure, but you can see in the background here, those trees aren't blowing over.

Sturdy trees! Whatever wind factor there is. Now, Baltimore's on a bay. Listen, Baltimore's on a bay. Of course. So those trees, the roots, you know what roots are doing? They're deep. They're searching for water. Those are deep roots. Those trees are

sturdy. Those leaves don't blow, pal. They're saying 30 to 45 mile an hour winds there. I just checked the weather. It was not like that at all. You don't know it. You ain't Joe DiNardo, pal.

Yesterday was southwest, six mile per hour winds. The day before that was five mile. He was throwing it northwest. You know what I mean? Multiply it by three, four. Small power wins. The game before that was five mile. He was throwing it northwest. You know what I mean? Multiply it by three, four. You're looking at 25 mile an hour wins.

See, just a quick question, though. Whenever it says it's blowing, it's coming from the south. By the way, kicker, punter, had to worry about the wins on a very regular basis. They used to tell me what the wins were and what the stadium alignment was. Still don't have it figured out. Okay, so are the winds coming from or blowing to, whenever they say something? I think coming from.

Okay, so if it's coming from the southwest, you would not want to throw southwest then. Correct. Because then you're throwing right into the wind. Exactly. It's not going to the southwest like it's not blowing to the southwest i don't think so i don't know i just remember getting in the stadiums going oh it's fucking going that way yeah just toss some grass it's going well that's in the stadiums it's very

different the wind on the field is different than the wind in the sky in the wind in the sky is different than the wind on the uprights so So those little things you see, the flags, I mean, they matter for sure because you're going to find out what's going to happen at the very end. But, man, they could tell a very different story than what's going on like just 10 yards in front of that, 15 yards in front of that. And if a stadium is, what is that, whenever they reflect each other perfectly? Concave? No. Parallel? No, parallel is running, whenever they reflect each other perfectly? Concave? No.

Parallel? No, parallel is running next to each other. Perpendicular is a T. Whenever something perfectly mirrors itself, though, but whenever it's called something, that is called something. When you're, it's like a, it's not a palindrome. Paradox? Paradox is a satire, but a sentence, I think.

I know the word. I just can't. Yeah, what is it? It is something. Anyways, when a stadium is perfectly matched on both sides. Reflecting? No, that is something. A mirrored is something as well.

Symmetrical? Yeah. There it is. There it is. There it is. Is that what it is? I don't know. I think so. So whenever a stadium is symmetrical, okay,

so when it's the same on this side as it is on this side, what's happening on the bottom, it's going to happen the opposite on the top. Okay, so if it's blowing cross field on the bottom, at the top it's blowing the other direction, right? So that's like a quick little, but if it has a non-symmetrical stadium a asymmetrical obviously right for those that don't understand a can be substitute with

non in the latin form so the asymmetrical stadium whenever there's like an open end that completely changes everything then it's a full guessing game for instance lucas oil stadium you know a story just came out from andrew brant He said that Adam Vinatieri was going to be a Packer, and then he signed with the Colts because the Colts had a dome, right? And everybody calls us a dome team, dome team. And in a punting kicking game, it is a little bit of a slight or whatever. Still got a bomb balls, though, but it's still a little bit of a slight. The RCA dome, which is what Vinny, I think, signed up for whenever he became a Colt, that thing was like a hockey arena, nice and tight in there, dead air.

Now, with that being said, you don't have any wind at your back either at any time, which never gets calculated into anything. There were some stadiums you get to, it's like, okay, for at least two quarters here, I'm going to hit a kickoff into the stands. Now, those other two quarters are going to be tough, but I am going to get a little bit of a boost. Everybody's a little bit negative in that thing, but whenever Lucas oil stadium, whenever,

you know, Jim Irsay just hits the button and the window comes down and then he takes his rag to a rag top off the top. That thing just becomes this bowl. And it's like in warmups, punters and kickers will come over immediately and they go, we open this thing today. We're keeping it close.

It's like, we have no say in this. And by the way, they might do it four minutes before the game starts you have no idea and like older punters and kickers be like okay younger guys are scared to ask because i think they don't think anybody will answer but like older guys will ask and i'll be like definitely want to go this way but there's a chance that that thing's going to be coming all different ways and at halftime against a guy who had to play in there, he was like, this is the most confusing place of all time. And I'm like, yeah, because we have these big, you know,

there's AFC finalists. Oh, yeah, the banners. There's banners hanging at the top. And those things are just blowing where the window is. And then on the ground, you're feeling it just like hitting you in the face somewhere. And it's like you just have to play a guessing game. That's what happened with that Lamar Jackson pass.

Yeah. Okay, he's seeing southwest winds six miles an hour or whatever. That's on the ground, pal. How about where he's throwing to Sammy Watkins? Six foot three, six foot four feet in the air there, pal. Absolutely. But if this is the ball they're posting, I mean, what are his other throws looking like?

Hey, the internet did say that. That must be the first play of the OTAs, by the way. That's the first play. They had 100 other opportunities that they could have put up there. This is what they chose to put up there. Lamar's all the way back. Sammy Watkins is a weapon. Hollywood Brown.

But it does feel like the Raven social media team set Lamar up for a little bit of a negative conversation around his throw. I just assumed it was some doofus on the social media. I mean, you can't tell me they didn't have a rep that looked better than that. There's no way. Great comment there. And let's talk about doofus.

Okay. Oh, yeah, we should. Let's talk about doofi. Yeah. Okay. Which you're saying that social media guy doofus or whatever. We did not say this. Nope.

I cannot stress this enough. We did not say this. Nope. I cannot stress this enough. I, Pat McAfee, did not say what we are about to say. Connor. Nope. I did not say what we are about to say.

Ty. I did not say what we're about to say. Zito. I did not say it. Nick. I did not say what we're about to say. Jason. I didn't say it.

We hired the biggest doofus of all time to be our head coach. Put it in quotes. Who said it? That line. Easy. Easy. That's what I said. Motor City Dan Campbell had an electrifying press conference this morning where he showed up wearing a race helmet.

He is the marshal at the Detroit Grand Prix IndyCar race this weekend. He had his helmet on, was answering questions so much so that it was fogging up. You know what I mean? Everybody's pumped about what MCDC is bringing to Detroit. Now, Foxy might have said, did we hire? He might have put it as a question. I believe he said Sheila Ford hired. No.

Foxy, this guy said he loved you. I love him. No, that's not what you were saying earlier. Are you starting to question this guy? Why are you falling off on your love for MC? I love him more now. I love him more now, too. This is one of my favorite moves of all time.

He looks incredible out there. And guess what? I bet the people of Detroit absolutely love this move. That's how you were saying it earlier. No, you guys are putting words in my mouth. No, we're not. We literally, everybody in the room said we knew exactly what was coming. Maybe I might have called him a doofus, but that was out of love, all right?

I've been a doofus before. You've been a doofus before. We've all been doofuses before. I love this guy. He's awesome. I do love MCD. Yeah, he knows one speed, and that is full speed ahead. And that's why he's in the IndyCar.

That's right. He don't slow down. Him wearing the helmet to the press conference, though. There had to be a decision made. I wonder if anybody else was involved. I wonder if he just put that thing on. I was like, strap it up. Let's go.

I'm aware of this, man. I love it. Where'd he get it? They must have sent it to him. Who knows? Maybe he sent somebody to go buy one. Like, hey, go buy a race car helmet, an Indy car helmet. Where am I supposed to do that?

I don't know. Figure it out. I got a press conference at noon or whatever. Get your fucking ass out. Get on it now. Please go get on it. They drive around to wherever dicks or play it again sports. I would assume he would have to find out.

Bike shop. I'm not even sure. Do you think he was stuck on and he just couldn't take it off? I would assume he did have to have the X or XXL. It's been four days since he's taken it off, actually. I believe I saw it on YouTube. I need a food tube. This guy is the fucking best.

I hope he – a lot of people underneath the photo of it going, oh, here we go, Foxy saying he's going to upgrade over Ted Lasso. Yeah, right, pal. One of the greatest coaches of all time, oh, here we go. Foxy saying he's going to upgrade over Ted Lasso. Wow. Ted Lasso, one of the greatest coaches of all time. Motor City Dan Campbell about to be that. Yeah, right. If Ted Lasso season two is anything like season one, we're talking maybe greatest series of anything

in the history of anything. Of all time. And Foxy's like, let's go ahead and upgrade that. Motor City Dan Campbell. He's real like Ted Lasso. Hey, this is something that, what if he wins? A lot of people going, oh, there's a coach wearing a helmet to a press conference. He's going to go 4-13.

I saw that on Twitter. People were saying on Twitter, hey, people are taking shots at Dan Campbell. I don't think he deserves it. No. Fox did. I did not take a shot at Dan Campbell. I am a pro Dan Campbell guy. Super, super MCDC guy.

Love him. Hard not to be. Everybody loves Big Doofus. That was Nick. That's low-hanging fruit. We talked to MCDC. He's a deep thinker. I think he's actually just like Ted Lasso.

You know what I mean? Thank you. Master, motivator, leader. How you doing? Keep it moving. Hiring all ex-players. Let's make this place a good place to work. Let's compete.

Let's have alphas. Let's make this a pride. Let's get a fucking real lion. You know, this guy. Bring in Megatron. He could change everything. Vrabes, you know, goes in there to Tennessee. He has a couple Super Bowls, obviously, as a player.

Has caught touchdowns and played on the defense side of the ball. Boxing gloves out. He's punching Derrick Henry. He's wearing the pad. Nobody really gives Vrabes a lot of credit, right? Vrabes has won a playoff game. He's got that Titans team in a position to continue to have success. Made a quarterback change that nobody even talks about anymore

because Tannehill has worked out so much. That could have backfired on him. He's made a lot of great moves, great coaching. It is like uh hey I'm in the locker room but I'm the guy that has to make the decisions like it's working there if MCDC you know he wins what six seven games yeah oh god are you kidding me Detroit lock him down for 10 years up we already got him for six you know what I just can't wait i cannot wait for that first win that first win is gonna be the most electric thing of all time foxy and i were talking about this the other day on our drive uh i think over to the thunderdome yeah that first win when they give him a game ball

oh my god oh sheila ford hey she's yeah he's gonna have to give her one and then he's gonna go hey this one goes to uh sheila ford hat first win or whatever as owner here you go congrats this one goes to gm hey this guy he's got all of us we're proud so he's gonna give that and then clap's gonna stop sheila is gonna have a ball. And she's going to go, this one goes to, you know who? MC DC. First win, hands the ball. That speech. I just got chills.

Oh, my God. We talked about it in the car. We were literally sitting at a red light, and we just thought of MC DC painting a picture of all the doubt that people had and then the win and then the new leaf that's going to be turned in Detroit and what the Lions are going to become. That speech is going to be one that I can't wait for. A lot of people on the internet say I'm going to have to wait maybe 13, 14 weeks.

They don't know. I'm saying early. I'm just telling you what the internet is saying around here. I'm saying early he's doing it. He 100% sheds tears in that speech. I hope so. Hey, I'll just know. I mean, I've been pounding the 4-13 drum,

but when you think about Goff, if he has a good O-line, he can sling the rock, and they got a massive O-line over there. And Penne, who is a mauler, has said it is a little bit more challenging than I thought to just bounce over here right tackle. Maybe he's underselling it, though. And they got Ragnow, the dude playing with a broken neck. I mean, come on. And I think you got Muleback back for another

year. Oh yeah, he's back. Long snapper. He's been there 21 years. That guy ain't never seen a playoff game win. Him and Jason Hansen might suffer the same exact fate. Never win in a playoff game. No, Motor City, Dan Campbell's gonna change that. They do not have their top two receivers for the past five years, I believe.

That's gonna be tough. Yep, Jared Goff can find holes. Jared Goff can find holes. Jared Goff can hand the ball off. Dan Orlovsky called the Lions offensive line a top five line in the league. We can just hand it off. Dan Orlovsky said that? Dan Orlovsky said that.

I didn't know Dan said that. If Dan said that. It's gospel. All right. I for men said that It's gospel We have Some big news For

The sun just disappears for like five, six months? That's what happens here in Indiana. Oh, yeah. Like winter, end of fall, winter, spring, I guess. Now there's just no sun in indiana just like winter end of fall winter spring i guess now there's just no sun it's just like all right see you later all right i'm gonna go inside we're gonna go ahead and be quarantined uh just because there's no sun outside you know make sure you take your vitamins because you're missing out on a lot of shit because there is going to be no sun for the next five months is it like that in ohio as well yeah i think we're uh we have pretty similar weather that you do over there in indy are you yeah you're flatter than us i guess no it can't

be flatter than us can't be flatter than us over here like cincinnati area you go down south there's it's more hilly you get tornadoes yeah oh yeah those are scary as fucking i mean are we in tornado season right now oh yeah right now have Really? Have you ever seen one touchdown near you? I was driving on a road. I seen the funnel, but it was off in the distance. Felt pretty comfortably because I seen Instagram videos of a guy cutting his lawn. You bet. Yeah, it was in Iowa.

So I was like, all right. Normally, before seeing that Instagram video, I would have turned and went the other direction because I think I'm going to die. I've seen the movie Twister. Pittsburgh, there's no such thing as tornadoes. I mean, we have so many hills. It's just, I don't know science that well, but I don't think it's conducive to that. My first weekend in Indianapolis though, citywide fire alarm, everybody get in the basement. There's a tornado coming. It didn't affect me. I didn't see it, but that is one of those things

you stare at the sky and just hope it doesn't hit you. You have no control at all. You grew up with that your whole life over there? I didn't know Ohio was a big tornado place. I mean, there's definitely, yeah. There's close to Dayton where I grew up, I don't know how many years ago. Not too long ago, it wiped out a bunch of stuff. Just like flattened the whole area. This Harrah Arena where I used to go watch monster truck rallies.

Grave Digger. Monster Jam. Their minor league hockey team. We used to go watch those guys fight like 15 times a game there. It's a great spot. That's awesome. That is an awesome place. What is it?

It's when cold hits hot, right? Which will be happening right now. Oh, yeah. Right? All across everywhere. Do you go down? Hey, if you hear the alarm or you hear like on TV, tornado warning, do you go right to the basement? Oh, did you hear the warning?

This is what you do. This is what you're supposed to do. I mean, hopefully in the basement you'll do that. You put your head down. You tuck your head so you don't break your neck. Yeah, there it is. Tuck your head right into your meat. Jeez, AJ. Oh, you're not flexible.

I forgot. My bad. You want to be a Tennessee volunteer, pal? Absolutely. Yeah, that's what you're supposed to do there. You're supposed to get down on the ground. That's right. We had to do tornado training in elementary school in Pittsburgh,

and even the teachers hated it. You ain't going to get no tornadoes down here, but I guess we'll waste 10 minutes of class here. It was awesome. Everybody go sit in the hallway with your backs against the lockers and just sit there. It's real out here, though.

I've had to go into the basement and thought I was going to die. I had to grab all your cats. You know what I mean? I had to grab the cats. Teddy, OG cat. I'll come down there, but on my time,

I wouldn't tell them, hey, there's a train coming through the fucking woods right here. All right, that's a scary moment. Have you ever had to do it? No, we've really never gone in the basement, even though people always freak out and like to do that. I mean, we usually sit there and look out the windows and try to find it. Yeah, that's what I do.

I'm like disappointed there isn't more out here. So this means you guys have never actually been close to one. That's what this means. In seventh grade, my neighborhood was actually hit by a tornado. Did you go in the basement? Yeah, we were in the basement. All of our trees were ruined. My best friend's house absolutely destroyed.

It was actually kind of a big deal. Yeah, I would assume so. Goddamn tornado. But my house started shaking. And that was when I was like, all right, I'm out of here. Yeah, it sounds like a train in the backyard. Yeah, and I said goodbye to the house and everything. You guys haven't been close enough, I don and everything. You guys, oh, yeah.

You guys haven't been close enough, I don't think. Okay? You guys. Like you mentioned, AJ's got a 25,000 square foot house. So, you know, if a fucking four bedrooms get taken off, oh, no, I only got 17,000 square feet left. So what do you got? You got 10 bathrooms.

You can shit all day over there, AJ? Is that the life you live? Yep, exactly. It went from 20,000 now it's at 25 000 so let's see what it's at by the end of the show you should see how many yards michael pitman had last year hey there's another ever evolving thing did you see there's not really much to talk about okay aj every star in every sport that is currently in playoffs is out all right this is bad time hey man if you're carrying the the nba playoffs like it's a rough time and Hey, man, if you're carrying the NBA playoffs, it's a rough time.

And I said this on the show. I remember last time when there were sweeps in the NBA or there's not the stars in the playoffs, people get laid off. People get fired that are at these networks. And, by the way, not just the NBA. The NHL is losing all their stars as well. And the Bruins are about to get swept or knocked out. No.

The Bruins are always getting knocked out. No. The Vegas Golden Knights are done. Marc-Andre Flores is out. No. No. The Warriors get knocked out. No. The Vegas Golden Knights are done. Marc-Andre Flores is out. We are going back to Vegas at 18,000 and one of the toughest

barns in the NHL. We'll see. I mean, we'll see. Anyways, these sports are fucking dead, dude. It feels like... NBA Finals starts this week. Who?

Nets and Bucks. NBA Finals starts this week. That's what I and Bucks. NBA Finals starts this week. That's what I'm talking about. That's the hype machine is that the Eastern Conference playoff round is the finals now with the NBA. What happens when this thing ends, when the Nets just decide to sweep them 4-0? What happens? It's over.

Completely over. They'll just have games. Is this good for gambling, though, Gumpy? This has to be good that all the stars are out? Now you know how the teams are going to be? Well, the Clippers-Mavs series it seems like like no home team has won or covered and then the lakers sons has basically been a toss-up that series is balanced from like after the lakers went up 2-1 they were minus 390 to win the series now you can get them at plus 250

if you think they're going to come back fox he does fox don't you think the lakers are coming back yeah never count lebron james out. AD is, what, questionable for tonight? So, actually, we couldn't make a boost. We said this in the first hour. I tried to make a boost. The fan called him yesterday. There's no way the NBA has LeBron leave six games into the first round. That's not going to happen.

I don't know how AD plays, though. I mean, he has a groin, right? His groin injury? I'm not sure. I saw him bouncing around on the sideline last game. He wasn't making any sudden moves. The groin is tough. A lot of people don't have enough respect for the groin.

Old buddy in hockey has a groin. Tuca. Tuca has a groin, which goalie, by the way, they call it the butterfly stretch, or the butterfly position is the goalie. That's all groin, basically. You can't do much if your groin is pulled. It is something that's very difficult.

It's the start and stop that does it. I know that's one thing. I haven't pulled many muscles, but I did. I popped my groin once, and it's the start and stop that does it like i know that's one thing i haven't pulled many muscles but i did i popped my groin once and it's the starting and stopping so like i would kind of ease into it and then once i was going even in the game it sucks i would just keep on cruising like if i didn't make the tackle i'm just jogging on by and circling back to the heart and by the way it feels like it's going to blow every single time too right doesn't it there's always like a fear that it's going to go i can't imagine basketball you know how much like back and forth and squeaking of your shoes you're doing in basketball oh my god yeah that's going to be difficult they just got to give them

all toward all in the world i guess i don't know if that happens in the nba to be honest with you but there's no way they let lebron lose tonight there's no way lebron lets him lose what you're saying oh yeah yeah you're right aj of course you're AJ. That's exactly right. Did they get beat by 60 last game? He had to poop. He didn't get to see the rest of it. Minus two, though, tells me AD's probably going to play. That's what they think.

I wanted to boost this game for the Lakers to win from minus 134 probably to plus 100, probably even money if I had to guess. They're waiting on to see if AD is going to play or not because that's going to change a lot of things i guess so it's like uh if he does chris paul left the game early last game too so he's kind of a toss-up as well nobody knows how long he's going to play yeah chris paul by the way is willing these teams to win they get sent to the um for you let's go back to your groin injury knees and groin only

injuries you've had i don't know i've had plenty of injuries but like i mean muscle pulls like luckily i didn't have like i never pulled a hammy i popped my calf and i popped my groin that's the only like soft tissue deal how old were you with the calf i mean i was in like my fifth sixth year in the league maybe i don't know did you miss how many games did you miss a lot of games one wow i did in detroit i was I popped out of my stance. I was in my stance. It was the only game I've ever missed. The only game I didn't dress.

I was in my stance, and you can see it on film. In Detroit, I just tried to take a few steps forward, and then I felt like I got kicked in the back of the leg, and I turned around. On film, you can see me turn around and look, and then I was like, oh. I knew it. Oh, this is what they say.

Luckily, it wasn't my Achilles, but it was my calf, and calf and couldn't even walk you had to be so scared that was your achilles because the achilles you can't train for right you can't stretch your achilles you can't strengthen your achilles your achilles is going to go whether it wants to go or not there's nothing you do who who uh oj howard yeah oj howard told us he felt like somebody kicked him in the back or whatever and he wanted to fight somebody and he walked off and like no no dude it happened dude your achilles happened for you you popped did you have black and blue was it all but it was a lot of blood uh it wasn't crazy mount but yeah it was black when i tore my pec that's when it bled down my arm and my whole arm was black like three quarters of the way down okay so you popped calf groin uh pec both knees no concussions ten fingers. All ten fingers are broken. You miss one game?

Yeah. No Toradol. Bullshit. Iron Man. No, I told you. Bullshit, AJ. I've never had a Toradol shot, man. What'd you do?

You're just the toughest dude on earth? No. Yeah, you asked. Yeah, you are. We get it. Is that Ohio?'s that Ohio grit. It's that Ohio grit, dude. Pop a calf.

I mean, there's nothing you can do. No, that's what sucks. No, soft tissue things suck because those are things like, hey, you can't really play through. Everything else, you can kind of gut it out and figure it out and play, no matter what you have. But when it's like a calf, a really bad groin, you can't do it. All right, let's talk about something a lot of guys couldn't battle through last season.

Because of mandate. Miles Garrett said conditioning-wise, he felt like he was at about 50% after COVID last year. So I think that is why, by the way, a lot of people, you get COVID, you're out two weeks, two games. AJ probably wouldn't have got COVID, by the way, because of his immune system just battling it off while he was in there. And also how much he buys into the protocols and everything like that. And also the amount of cigar smoke that fills his lungs every single trip. There's no way that COVID would have been able to get through that whole thing. But he said he felt 50% after COVID.

This could be the same thing for Cam Newton, by the way. The long-term effects, he said he didn't feel like himself. This past offseason, I think we've all seen it. He is in great shape. I don't know if this is a revenge body on COVID that Myles Garrett has been going after. His basketball season is over. His career is over. Kevin Stefanski continues to be a hilarious human being.

He's retired. He had a hell of a run in basketball. Myles Garrett was at 50% last year. Now he's got Clowney alongside of him. That entire team gets Odell Beck. The Browns might be a real problem. And Myles Garrett at 50%. Obviously specimen.

This year, he's going to be even better. This Browns team, the dog pound. Hey, you go from outhouse to penthouse pretty quick maybe yeah with andrew barry at the helm cleveland's got to feel very good about the team they have hey but don't you think it it all like it all hinges on on baker now baker has an unbelievable opportunity with all this talent great defense it looks like his offense has tons of weapons now if they don't win

the only person being blamed is baker i don't want to like i don't like doing this because i've had some bad body pictures that have been put out there and i felt like i've been in some really good shape but maybe the pictures didn't make me look good yeah baker looks better this year than he's ever looked like conditioning wise it feels like he's always been like a sturdy athletic guy you know this year it feels like... I just saw one video, and I think it was supposed to make him look like he was in great shape, but he did. And I feel like Baker has a handle of the offense. I'm real pumped for that Browns team.

I mean, it stinks that Dwayne Haskins and Ben Roethlisberger are still in the division, and Lamar Jackson and Sammy Watkins are in the division, and Joe Burrow is in the division. He threw a ball 70 yards the other day, just right out of the back of the end zone, by the way. Don't know what they're practicing. Loved it. Slow.

Who's running the Ravens social media account? Yeah, we said that earlier. There's a potential, hey, we want to fucking burn down a guy on the internet who's our guy. It was windy, though. You heard about that Southwest winds. Yeah, and I'm sure this isn't the only pass he threw all day, though. Yeah, I think this was actually the first play of the practice,

and it was probably the only time they were allowed out there. Let's assume that ball got tighter. Sammy Watkins and Lamar are going to be on the same page. Sammy Watkins is the quarterback's best friend when he gets there. I do believe the odds for the Ravens to get Julio Jones have now jumped up to plus 25,000 after this video was released. Why is that? Because big catch ratings? Julio saw it and said, look, I mean, I can

catch some balls, but if they're coming at me quacking like that, there's no chance I'm going to Baltimore. I want to let you know some Ravens fans have tweeted me. I blocked one particular person. They said, your show is so lame or dead that you have

to talk about a social media video of Lamar Jackson. Yeah, I actually do. And, yeah, that is the biggest news. And I felt like I went to bat for that guy a lot. Yeah. Hey, there's going to be some wobbles out there, AJ. We are upset that the – so maybe it was the social media person that tweeted me.

We're not blaming him. We're not blaming him. I guess that may be the only throw and catch they have from Lamar to Sammy Watkins. They're like, oh, man, we're scramming. We've got to put something out. Here we go. And then they didn't show it to anybody else. I want to let people know that if they put up a video of a punter just hitting a clear shank that rolls down inside the 10 or whatever,

I would also say we could have probably put another ball out there. And I think this is, you know, all know all right here we go let's do it so like the raven social media person probably great social media person okay i'm sure they went to school they got a degree in social media whatever that's a thing it is they're hustling is it social what's it what's the title uh the title is this is a fake bullshit degree the only way you can actually get good at this is if you live inside of it. We can tell you what other people have done, but it's going to be very different for you. But you can go sell olds that you are younger and know what's going on and they don't. This is a new thing that is happening in a lot of businesses.

I get a chance to see it mostly because I get a chance to have conversations with a lot of business people. We live in a social media world. I'm asked to have conversations with the social media people, the digital people. And I talk to them. I'm like, oh, you're a fucking idiot. This person has no idea what they're doing, but they probably got some degree. They told the old person, they said, hey, listen, this is what I do. You don't know this stuff.

This is for younger people. I'll go ahead and do this for you. And they inevitably lie about the numbers, say they did this, they do that. And the people that are in charge have no fucking idea. So they don't know. Now I'm not saying this is happening with the Ravens. This is an epidemic that is happening though, across businesses that are trying to get younger. And the issue is if somebody is good at social media, going to be hard to hire them because they're going to be very expensive. So it's like, it's one of those halfway thing. I'm not saying the Ravens person did this, but if you're having somebody run your social, they got to be hard to hire them because they're going to be very expensive so it's like it's one of those halfway i'm not saying the ravens person did this but if you're having somebody run your social they got to be on the same page as you like they have to be they have to be all you have to

have a lot of trust in them too i'm not saying just because of this video and this thing but this is happening in a lot of businesses and we've all seen it somebody some business put out a tweet you'd be like oh that's good hey that's that's good. Hey, that's good. That's good. And then people put out and you'd be like, well, how'd that get fucking hit sent? How did this send button get hit on that? It's this is kind of happening as the social media age continues to take over these old businesses that maybe don't necessarily dive in. So they don't really know.

Not saying the Ravens person did this, but this Ravens person did not make Lamar look good. And I wonder if they even know what they did. I wonder if they even know that the conversation around Lamar is exactly what that video was kind of putting out there. So that's who we're upset with, AJ. And that's what you let off with this entire thing. Yeah, I wasn't saying it wasn't like a slight to Lamar at all. I'm just like, I know there's a lot better passes you could put out there.

But to their credit, the social media people, I would assume 90% of people that watch this video are like, oh, cool, Lamar and Samuel. They didn't think about it. I don't think so. I think you're not giving credit to the internet enough. Yeah. I don't think you're giving credit to the internet enough.

The internet, as soon as they see that video, the internet is what the internet is. Quack, quack, quack. Immediately, yeah, the amount of. There are a few of us, though, who watched the video and was like, clapped the social media team. It was like, oh, they found the amount of – There are a few of us, though, who watched the video and was like – clapped the social media team. It was like, oh, they found the best pass of the day, and they put it out on social media.

See, this is exactly what that person did. All right? This is exactly what that person – And the AFC North, by the way, it's hot in the kitchen with those fans. Very. It's hot in the kitchen with those fans, you know? And I've seen some terrible passes in practice out of very, very, very, very, very good quarterbacks.

That's going to happen. And I'm just assuming he had no incompletions on the entire day. I assume that this was the first pass of the day, but boy, they set him up for this guy stinks. This guy's terrible. I might be misremembering, but did they do a schedule

release, the Ravens social media team, when everyone was doing all those? They're all giving each other awards, too, I think. All these social media people, they start giving each other awards and they start following along with other people who are doing all that. What awards? Is it the Razzies or what are they? No, the Razzies

I believe, that's the worst of all time. Worst movie of the year, yeah. See, I know my shit. Yeah, there are Twitter awards. What are they? Oh, they're this. What are you talking about? Boom. Hashtag. Read it and weep. How about that? I can't exactly read that, but yeah.

I don't think I've ever read it. 2019 hashtag sports award best sports podcast. Well, that's a lie, but we got the fucking trophy. Yeah. You know what I mean? Let's go. But there's all these awards and these social media people. And I understand.

I appreciate the passion for social media because it is a beautiful place. It gets a bad rep because, you know, there is a wave of idiots that get an opportunity to speak their mind when we shouldn't ever hear from those people. But that's what social media is. There's a lot of good that happens in social media. And there's, you know, it can be used as quite a weapon for, you know, your business if you wanted to. And then you put it in the hands of some doofus. It's like, okay, all right, So you have no idea what you're doing. They'll lie about numbers.

Everything happens. You just got to hire somebody though. Like think of these big corporations. They got to hire somebody, some kind of social media presence. You can't like, this is, this is like Darius Butler, right? When Darius was getting in the game, there's like a, he was, he asked me, he was like, you know, should I get a social media person? I was like, no, like you just need to go in.

Like you just need to. It's one of those things where you have to. And if you're doing it, you have to know the the mission of the business you're working for, the motto, the ideals. Like it is not. You are the face of that organization to a lot of people, a lot of people. And I don't think the olds understand that either. It's like, Hey, there's a lot of people that will only know your company via your company's Twitter, your company's Instagram, your company's Facebook. Like, so maybe who you put in charge there should probably be something that shares, you know,

how you view it, but it's, you see it time and time again, there's obviously a disconnect. Then it gets run up the chain and it's like, I don't want that person inspired. Next person you bring in, oh, this person's a genius. They're going to save it. No, they're not. It's just a never-ending cycle and that's where we live in, AJ. Hey, and that's why I'm very lucky that we got a bunch of doofuses in here. They run their social

medias. Top of the line. Everybody in here is verified. Except for... That's because two things. one of my Twitter stinks and secondly I know what they're doing yeah you know it's like I'm not gonna say that but you're chilling by the way what's her name her dad owns newspaper in England her brother was an MI6 that documentary is coming out I guess her name is Jillain

yeah it is not gizling it was a miss who would have known first time he's been wrong yeah but they might be saying her name wrong

in that doc strictly because of gizling yeah you know what I mean like whoa yeah maybe

you don't know next love sounds like it was like a British accent I don't know dude she was allegedly up for bail for like the fifth time yesterday or something like that denied again denied again I don't know. Next love. Sounded like it was, like, a British accent. I don't know. She was allegedly up for bail for, like, the fifth time yesterday or something like that. Denied again. Denied again.

I don't know how you get bail that quick. Isn't bail, like, something you got to, like, earn? I've seen all these movies and people just, like, wait forever. I mean, old buddy and Dufresne's guy. Red? Not Red. Red was already dead. No, maybe Red.

Yeah. You're talking bail or parole? Yeah, that's parole. That's not. You was right there. No, maybe red. Yeah. You're talking bail or parole? Yeah, that's parole. That's not. You're talking parole. Yeah, I thought you'd get bail like almost immediately. Depending unless you're like a flight risk. Like if you have a lot of money or you have like availability to get away,

then they don't give you bail. They hold you until the trial. See, I had it wrong. And by the way, I didn't get offered a bail either for my public intoxication. Are you kidding me? I didn't know offered a bail either for my public intoxication. You're kidding me. I didn't know you could try and get bail five times. I didn't know, by the way, that with the charges she had, that's even a conversation. I didn't even know that was—

Even murder trials, you try to get bail, but they won't do it normally. But how do you just keep going back to the drawing board? You know Ted Bundy? He bailed in the middle of his trial. Yeah, he peaced out. Went up into a room upstairs, he had windows. He jumped out. Yeah, it depends on how out. Went up into a room upstairs, they had windows. He jumped out. Yeah, it depends on how big

of a flight risk you are, too. They call it, like Ted Bundy, jumping out windows. Yeah. And Ghislaine is a big-time flight risk. I would assume, yeah. You could say. Also, submarines, too.

I think they were using the underwater missions. Flight risk and water risk. I mean, she's a Navy SEAL of escaping. It's safe to say people are looking for her outside of those shit countries. What are you guys betting on tonight? We got any good money makers, or are we just taking the night off and betting?

Are you guys hot or are you guys cold? I stink. Oh, no. I did sense a little negativity out of you this morning. Hey, bet the Suns. You think the Suns are going to win? There is a... I do.

I've been riding the Montreal Canadiens. Oh, yeah. And they've been plus money every night. I mean, that is the one saving grace here. Hey, Islanders home dogs in the collie tonight. I was just going to say, Logford and I is probably B's puck line. They'll probably win by eight if I had to guess.

What's your deal? What do you mean, what's my deal? Well, we're trying to have an actual conversation about making money off of shit we don't care about. I'm being serious. No, you're not okay fine they're not gonna win by 8

but they're gonna win 4-0 we got a guy joining us he's dropping an album I think tomorrow what? Kanye?

Of course, yeah. I hope he doesn't get pulled away with his job. But, yeah, the strength and conditioning coach for the Jacksonville Jags. Oh! Oh, my God! Shag's on, dude. This guy does deadlifts and squats in construction boots. Okay.

Tim Bowes. He's the new director of sports performance, I believe, down for the Jacksonville Jaguars who are investing in that city massively. Obviously, the spin zone is that they're building up the city. They're also building up a town in which they own everything and will collect all the money from, especially if the team does well. It looks beautiful down there. Can't wait to talk to Schlage about his first opportunity

being an NFL strength and conditioning coach and also what they're doing down there. What's the workouts like? Can't wait to talk to Schlage about his first opportunity being an NFL strength and conditioning coach. And also, what they're doing down there. What's the workouts like? Are they on the edge? Are they elite? Are they beating up wrestlers? I need to know what's going on with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Can't wait for that. 2.05 tomorrow. The third member of the Buckeye Heroes cereal box, Anthony Schlegel, will join us. Joining us right now is a man who's dropping an album tomorrow, I believe. Let's go. You can hear him, I think, daily on Hot 97 in New York. He's also on ESPN in New York. He does some WWE commentary. And tomorrow, I believe, he's dropping his first album.

I just learned of this. We will talk to him about it. Ladies and gentlemen, Peter Rosenberg. Yeah, Peter! What up, dude? How are you, dude? Thank you for the kind intro. Hey, no problem at all.

I know that you're always working. And whenever I had heard about this album, I immediately got excited. Are you rapping? When does this album drop? What is this happening, Peter Rosenberg? Okay. Got a chance to have my first real full conversation with you at WrestleMania Backlash. Enjoyed chatting with you.

I've enjoyed your work from afar. You're going to be a rapper? Is that what's happening? What are we doing here? Okay, okay. I'm going to explain this to you like I explain it to my parents. Smart. So, this album is the easiest way to put it would be to compare it to DJ Khaled.

That would be the easiest thing to do. Rosenberg! Are you going to win? We the Rosenberg! Minus the yelling, it's just like a Khaled album. But I'd been wanting to do it for years, and over COVID, I decided to buckle down and try to get it done. And dude, I just... You ever done something... Actually, you've done this many times because you're someone who executes on ideas. I had an idea, and this was one that it actually turned out

better than I ever would have imagined. I got like... I have Wu-Tang Clan all over my album. Like, it's... For a kid from Chevy Chase, Maryland who grew up loving hip-hop, it's a crazy dream come true. Well, there ain't nothing to fuck with, okay?

So how does, like DJ Khaled, I think I've seen some videos on how he operates. We get a chance to see the behind the scenes of you in the studio doing one of these, like DJ Khaled. I think he does a lot of this. I think there's a lot of this. A lot of yelling. A lot of this. And then there's a full on is there a

lot of that coming or we just got the music just to he hey let's just keep it to the music is that what this is going on yeah you're not going to see a lot of that and honestly and musically it's not you know it's not the same as caled either it's a hardcore hip-hop album bro this is like styles p method man rayquan jim jones um you know i got Styles P, Method Man, Raekwon, Jim Jones. You know, I got Rock Park. Hey, Dipset got back together at the Knicks game last night. Did you see that? Yeah. Yeah, I did see that.

This is a good moment. So, like, it's a hardcore hip-hop album, but I'm setting the – you know, my goal is the moon, dude. I want to get nominated for the best rap album Grammy this year. That's what I'm going for. Okay. I wish you would have let me whistle in the background of a track. I've been trying to be a Grammy-nominated whistler for some time now.

This is just album one, Pat. This is just album one. You're the voice of SmackDown, baby. I'll have you on the next one. Michael Cole is the voice of SmackDown. I try to fuck it up every week. But I will say, if you win a Grammy on this first one, I don't know if you're going to go back-to-back, okay?

So I think we might have missed. That's a great point. We might have missed the opportunity. But wait, wait. You know what? Let's just wait. I'll tell the Grammys. Hold off on this one.

I need McAfee on the Grammy one. Smart. Thank you so much. That'd be great. I would like to be right here, by the way, next to Jared Lorenz. And go ahead, AJ. Hey, Peter, what's the plan now that you're going to put this album out? Are you going to tour this thing around the country and go perform?

Well, listen, nobody wants to see a 41-year-old Jewish jewish man look what pat's doing do you think anyone wants to see that and pat looks good in a tank top so it's even worse for me i've been fasting thank you um so i'm going to do a couple of live shows um i'm actually angling you know at hot 97 we do the biggest hip-hop concert on planet earth called summer jam oh and it's actually this year the day after summer slam it's on august 22nd oh met by stadium here we go summer slam summer jam actually know what pat dude yeah let's take your jet yeah from summer slam to summer jam wow where's summer slam do you know summers well, I only know what I read on the internet, but it sounds like it's going to be out west, Las Vegas.

That's what the internet says. Oh! See, I don't know that, Peter. This is something that you know that I do not know. The internet, that's what the... Now, listen. It could be somewhere else, but here's the deal. Okay.

If you just let me hop a ride on your PJ... Oh, my. I'll get you the full, all- full all access mingling with every rapper situation of all time okay oh my god hey if i get out on a stage and i get where's that it's at metlife you said something oh it's at metlife 50 000 strong baby live performances i should have known about this. I know about, what's that big country one out in the middle of the woods? You don't mean Bonnaroo, do you?

Bonnaroo. Okay, I know Bonnaroo. There's another country concert in AJ's town, Ohio, over there. They've got something deep in the woods. I did not know Summer Jam, 50,000 people in a stadium. Is it one day a weekend? Do people live there? It's not like Bonnaroo.

There's not like people like stoners living in vans. It's just one day, but it's, I mean, it's everybody. Dude, come on. You don't know the famous Hot 97 story? You don't know about the time Jay-Z brought out Michael Jackson on stage at Summer Jam? I do not, by the way. This sounds unbelievable. Did he hit a whole lot on let me tell you this hold on so in 2001 were you there were you there as a fan no no no this is this is what i was dreaming of working there i was

far away okay so in 2001 when jay-z was in the middle of beefing with Mobb Deep, right? Okay. He goes to Summer Jam and has the most legendary performance of all time where he disses Nas, he disses Mobb Deep, he finds a picture of Prodigy, God rest his soul, of Mobb Deep, finds a picture of him wearing a ballet outfit as a child, puts it on the big screen. Wow! And then after that, after he suns everybody with pictures and shit talk. Yeah.

He then is like, hold on one second, ladies and gentlemen. And the crowd behind him, Memphis Bleak, Dame Dash, Beanie Siegel, they all park. And effing Michael Jackson walks out on the stage. Oh, my God. Let's go. And he's now in the beef. He's just stood there. Hey, you get into a beef with somebody, you know who you call?

Fucking Michael Jackson. Yeah. This guy. This guy's going to handle it. Congrats to you. And hopefully we will get a chance to go to Summer Jam. That sounds absolutely awesome. I feel like I should know more about that.

I do not. We're talking to Peter Rosenberg. Dropping an album tomorrow. What time? Did you think about maybe doing the Lemonade Out of Nowhere drop and just being like, look at me now. Peter Rosenberg's a fucking musician, dude. By the way, you could pull that off, Pat,

because you have a rabid fan base. If you dropped at midnight, your people the next day, they'd all be out there if i dropped out of the blue yeah it would live in the blue i had to do work i had to hire a nerdy jewish man in los angeles to do my publicity no i had to put together a team no this thing yeah you hired a publicist? So how does this work? You're on Hot 97. You're friends with a lot of incredible musicians and talented people.

What did the publicist tell you? To tweet about it? What happened here? How did this whole thing go? You know what? I'm glad you asked. It's been an interesting experience. I can imagine.

And being cheap, it's hard. It's hard forking over money for something of which you don't know how it's going to go. It's cool, but I'm not doing the Tonight Show tonight. My album's out at midnight. I'm not on Fallon. I'm not on Kimmel. I'm on McAfee.

Yeah, you and me booked this, by the way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't know what you're spending your money for. Hopefully this thing goes platinum, though, and then maybe you'll get the money back from the nerdy Jewish man. Your words, not mine. Connor, what do you have? Yeah, Peter, you're in the

concrete jungle. Is there any thought from Knicks fans to go and pack out the Barclays Center and root against the Nets, or are they going to beat Team New York and root for them? Okay, well, hold on. That's a brilliant idea. That was a brilliant suggestion I hadn't even thought of.

He's not verified, but he is a guy that exists on the internet. Let me tell you what's not going to happen. There's going to be no rooting for the Nets by Knicks fans at all. You catch some of that in New York. There's a little

Giants-Jets. Like, oh, I like the Jets. I like the Giants. Oh, I like the Yan yankees but i pull for the mets with the knicks they hate everyone else like they don't let anyone tell you different the knicks have the number one most loyal fan base in this city and they are disgusted by the nets they i like the idea of them packing out the building and and booing but by the way have you guys taken time to appreciate the heel work? Sorry to keep bringing up wrestling, but, Chad, the heel work by Kyrie Irving right now, he reminds me of CM Punk when he had Straight Edge Society. Like, he's saying the right things, but he's so holier than thou all the time.

It's brilliant stuff. Yeah, we actually talked earlier about whenever lebron's out if he's at which we assume he's going to be out not tonight next game probably going to be out the clippers are going to be at you know the nba is going to have to build something up you know i thought they should just just build the nets as heels just have them be the heels you know i mean they don't like the media they're not going to talk but the internet loves them though so i don't know how that'll go but i think that it's like it's like brett hart in canada in the u.s like the media hates the nets but you're right twitter loves the freaking nets because you can't deny their

basketball they're just so annoying it's just kind of not hardened so much but katie and kairi who are both great guys in real life but but when it comes to their basketball persona, they're just heels. It's just who they are. Yeah. I mean, basketball without LeBron, I don't know what we're going to do. It's going to be tough without old Bron Bron, Peter. I just want to know. You know, I gathered from your celebration of the Jaguars strength coach

that this is a football-heavy coach. No, Rosenberg, you don't know us, dude. Don't you put us in that box, dude. Don't you put us in that box, dude. Don't you put us in that box. What do you have, Ty? Peter, what's the temperature like with Yankees fans in New York right now? Does anyone give a shit, or are they just kind of being forgotten? I mean, I feel like they're starting to kind of come on here a little bit,

but I don't know if anyone cares anymore. Listen, the Yankee fans, they never are apathetic. That's not something they are. What they are is the most complaining, bitchy, whining, unappreciative fan base

of all time. They think they have no one. They think Aaron Judge is a bum. They complain. I do. My afternoon show is with the voice of the Yankees. Right. I'm on with it every day.

Yes. Like, all we get is calls from Yankee fans who just complain. I mean, the fact is, you guys, the Yankees are not that talented. You guys stink, dude. No, no, no. You guys stink. Yes. They're getting hot. No, they stink. Shohei Ohtani. If he was on that team, You guys stink, dude. No, no, no. You guys stink, dude. They're getting hot.

No, they stink. Shohei Ohtani. If he was on that team, you guys would be good. They stink. Well, maybe Cashman does something and fucking goes and gets Ohtani. See, there you go. Now it's coming out. That's all they ever say.

If Cashman fucking went and did something. You said you're from Chevy Chase, Maryland or whatever. Chevy Chase. How long have you lived in, and I know he's got a bank there, he's got a town there. I mean, it's a big deal, obviously. Very funny guy. How long have you lived in New York, and do you consider yourself a New Yorker now? I've been here now for 13, 14 years.

Long time. Listen, I don't think you can legitimately consider yourself like a lifetime New Yorker if you weren't raised here. But like this is home now. I mean, it's definitely it's definitely home. I'm more comfortable here than anywhere else. But, you know, it's different. Let me put it this way. My girlfriend was raised in Queens.

Like when you're raised in New York, you are a different animal than to not be raised in New York. So I consider it home. But no, I'm not. I'm not a true, true New Yorker. So you're a you're a Maryland rapper. You're not a New York. So I consider it home, but no, I'm not a true, true New Yorker. So you're a Maryland rapper. You're not a New York rapper? No, I'm like Wale. What's that? I'm like Wale.

Yeah, okay. Hey, by the way, Wale needs a new... You know what he needs to do, by the way? And you probably know him better than I do. I got a chance to chat with him a couple times. He needs to make a remix to And She Throws Up Whatever She Eats Leave the Bathroom A Regular Girl

Celebrity Dreams She Is 90210 I think that song would go very very very Very hard if he was to do that right now I don't know why he doesn't He needs to take his old bangers Because he was ahead of everybody else basically You need to do this You need to rug these old things yes and bring them

back to life that's that should be a move here let's go rosenberg listen now that i'm a maryland rapper these are the things i'm gonna think about this is the work i'm gonna do i'm gonna call you and we're gonna make these things happen hey i appreciate you for joining us man good luck tomorrow you know what i mean hey dude, I appreciate you having me on. And for real, I don't know what your boys tell you. AJ probably busts your balls. You're crushing it on SmackDown, buddy. It's not an easy job.

You're doing great. Miles Teller hates me on there. Miles Teller hates me on SmackDown. I mean, everybody else seems to think I'm doing okay. You know a lot more about the business than a lot of people, so I appreciate you saying that. You also probably see the mistakes I'm making on a regular basis. I have a lot of room for growth, but I'm enjoying the hell out of it, Peter.

I appreciate you. Where can we get the album tomorrow? Everywhere? Yo, tonight at midnight. The album, Real Late. It's streaming absolutely everywhere. You can pre-add it on Apple Music, but you can stream everywhere on Earth. I'm putting out vinyl in a few days and all that stuff,

but for right now, just stream it wherever you get music. I hope your people dig it, man. Are you signing it? We send a vinyl? I'm signing vinyls. Sure, sure, sure. Can we use some for intros and bumpers? No, we can't. We'll get shut down on YouTube. No, I'll send you the full thing. I would love to send you some music to play.

Do you need cleans? You don't care. No, we don't care, but we will get a strike from your LA publicist person if we play it. If we could get that business signed on the back end so we don't lose our business, we'd love it. The way you described that, you left out one word in the middle that would have made that whole thing seem crazy between L.A. and publicist. Listen, I am not going to send the Rosenberg Jewish team of lawyers to shut down the company. I appreciate that. I appreciate that, man. I understand why it has to happen, everything like that.

But good luck, brother. Thank you for having me on, guys. I appreciate you. Peter Rosenberg. Hey, so sorry to interrupt this conversation. That's cooking right now. Yes, it is cooking. Everyone always talks about how important it is to get a good night's rest, don't they? Hey, you need a good, good night's sleep.

I didn't get a great night's sleep last night. And by the way, this morning we could tell, but then the energy of the day kind of got after it. But people for your entire life have been saying, hey, make sure you sleep well. Hey, get a good night's sleep. Need to get a good night's sleep. Make sure you get a good night's sleep tonight. But it's not always as easy as people just saying get a good night's sleep, especially if you're like me, where your mind is always thinking, mind is always going. Maybe you're thinking about tomorrow. Maybe for whatever reason you just can't fall asleep. That happens to

a lot of us. And CBDMD has come through with something called CBDPM that puts you out like a light. Like a light. Sleep through the flight. That's why the folks at CBDPM created CBD, or CBDMD created CBDPM to help you get the rest you deserve and feel your

best every morning. CBDPM blends 500 milligrams of superior CBD with sleep promoting ingredients like melatonin, valerian root, and chamomile to create a powerful and effective sleep aid. So whether you're up late with the kids, pets, or existential dread,

you can turn to CBDPM and get the rest you need to handle anything that comes your way. I use it. Nick is a big time proponent of it. I believe there's a couple others in the office that use it on a nightly basis. Some guys get into it whenever they need to reset their sleep cycle, but I've been very thankful for CBD MD, CBD PM. It's something I legitimately use. I think you will enjoy it as well if you're not a great sleeper but also cbdmd has a bunch of other products whether it's uh for soreness uh for anything else i mean they legitimately got a bunch of cbd superior cbd products and right now you can get 25 off your next order it's almost a quarter there, dude.

Big thanks to CBDMD for being a hell of a partner with this show and also for creating products that directly affect my life like the sleep one because if not, I'm up all goddamn night. Back to the show AJ last night Trey Young scored 36 points in Madison Square Garden took a bow the Atlanta Hawks blow by the New York Knicks are only expected to win 20 games this season but brought back a fan environment that I think we all missed massively, including somebody spitting over 50 Cent and his lady on Trey Young.

Trey Young talking shit back to the crowd. And then inevitably, the Atlanta Hawks getting a win. Is everything all right, Becker? Are we okay? Actually, update almost took AJ out there. Oh, okay. I was trying to get AJ off the screen. All right, happy it didn't happen.

Great to still have you here. Have you watched any of the NBA? Trey Young, I think, is the big star so far of this NBA playoffs, but it's all about to end, I think, as soon as Bron Bron loses out here, AJ. He's the new Reggie Miller, right? Didn't Reggie have a thing with Spike, and he'd go back and forth every time he was playing at MSG? Yeah, Reggie Miller has taken the happiness out of Knicks fans

still to this day, I believe. What did he score? He scored 13 points or something like that? Yeah. He also buried Spike last night because Spike left the game early. Reggie was announcing it, said, Fairweather fan, you should stay until the end of the game. Well, maybe Spike had to poop.

True. That happens a lot. That doesn't get talked about enough. You know what I mean? LeBron had to go poop and the whole world. Hey, have doesn't get talked about enough. You know what I mean? LeBron had to go poop and the whole world. Hey, have they asked him, though? Has there been anything on that?

I would assume they asked LeBron about leaving. I saw Windhorse was on TV yesterday. Did he confirm or deny that he took a massive shit at the end of that game and that's why he had to get out of there? I thought he clarified

him and LeBron before the game had some White Castle together and then it led to that situation. When he did confirm that, he took multiple shits. He could not confirm when LeBron did. If he did, when he played, he had a bucket full of LeBron shit. He was carrying it around for him. Keep going, please.

That's why we can't talk about stuff around here. Each one got better and better. Yeah, I mean, they were just sitting there waiting. Tua's trainer has come out and said that he was at about 60% last year. Good segue. He said that, well, yeah, everybody thinks this is fucking some slapdick show and we could just bury the greatest basketball player of all time. And you want it to happen.

I mean, boys, let's have a little bit of professionalism. Okay? There are people listening and watching. Windhorse has won awards. More awards than all of us combined in here, in the media world. Okay? All we said was that he – we didn't talk anything bad about LeBron. We said that Windy, however, can be a mouthpiece.

Yeah, he is. And I think he was alluding to him carrying his water back there. And his shit is what he was talking about. What you were talking about is Wendor's diet. Yeah, you did. Yeah, you also did the same. I was actually shitting on White Castle. That shit stinks.

Actually, I think he actually did the White Castle. You. Piled on top of that place. It's the worst. I mean, Harold and Kumar were looking for it. I don't know why. No clue. I have no idea why they were looking for it.

Go to McDonald's. But nonetheless, I appreciate Windhorse. Yeah, me too. I took out a Crave Case one time. Yeah. Hell yeah. Four days. No.

Four days. Oh, yeah. You got to coat your belly with a milkshake. That's a secret. How are you going to eat 30 burgers? Hell yeah. Or 24, whatever the crave case is, if you also have a milkshake. And that is why we think we're missing out on your true talent.

Joey Chestnut should have nightmares of Zito on a regular basis. Since he doesn't, I think we're missing a mark. You're great at what you do. I totally know that. Thank you. You can't do a milkshake into a crave case. It would be a problem. But Windhorse will let us know what happened.

There's no way LeBron loses tonight. I mean, that's just, the NBA is not going to let it happen. Joining us now, AJ, first time on this show. I had learned of this human because he was on Hammer Down with these guys. Hammer Down airs in the office while it's live. And I normally have very stupid calls that I'm on. That is a very normal thing I have to deal with. It's just a part of the whole thing, you know.

Who knows, moving, shaking, what's going to happen. And I look over on TV and I see this electric factory talking about hockey, talking about NBA, talking about gambling. Had no idea existed. Actually said, need to know who this guy is. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now, a radio host for Sports Grid on SiriusXM. His Twitter is at SportsRage.

The guy is a gambling phenomenon. Canadian. Can't wait to talk to him about the NHL and what happened last night. That ended with seven people wearing tennis shoes on the ice in the end of a game last night, which is never good. Ladies and gentlemen, Gabe Marantz. What's going on, dude? Fire it up. Let's do this, Pat.

Let's do this, AJ. I'm really excited to be here. First things first, big fan of both of you guys, and you're both badasses. You're both obviously great athletes, but I'm going to put a challenge out to you. I heard you guys talking about fast food. I don't think you could live a week on my diet. I don't think you can live a week on my diet. I don't think you can live a week on my diet. Agent would die. I'm having

Dairy Queen milkshakes for breakfast, guys. I had a bacon and egg sandwich last night at like 4 in the morning before I went to sleep. Let the bacon just sort of sit there overnight. I'm ready to rock. I'm unhealthy as fuck, but I'm ready to rock, guys. Let's do it.

Okay, Gabe. Okay, I was about to say, you look very, very good for a guy that's his house and what seems to be 6,000, 7,000 calories of shit every single day. You're unbelievable. How did you get into this game? Were you a radio guy, a host? How did you get into this game? Because you're on SportsGrid, obviously.

Your Twitter is electrifying. I did not know know you exist as soon as I saw you I like fell in love how did we get here and now milkshakes it in the morning and 4 a.m. bacon egg and cheese obviously that helps but how did we get here Gabe you know what I've been doing this now we're moving in on our 20th anniversary of our radio show sports rage I like you I was an athlete, but I wasn't as good. So I played hockey. My grandfather played for the Montreal Canadiens, and he played for Team Canada in the 1936 Olympics, actually,

Special Olympic Games in Berlin. So I grew up playing hockey. So sort of the classic, you know, part of my family were athletes. He was a linesman in the NHL after. And my father was a slacker, like rocker type dude who was getting busted all the time. So I had like the rock guy in me and the hustler street guy in me. And I had the athlete in me.

So I was playing sports and I got into a metal band called Homicide and Corrupted Youth. I moved to Hollywood, California, lived like a wannabe rock star for a while. Was always betting on sports, going to Dodger games, big, big sports fan, massive sports fan. And then

I realized, you know what? I know more than all these idiots that are on the air. I'm listening to talk shows. I'm like, God, this is fucking boring. I'm like, this guy's giving pits. He couldn't pick his fucking nose. And finally, my buddy started telling me, you know what? You're better than all these guys out here.

Yeah. You do this. One day I'm on the road with my band Homicide. We come this close from hitting a fucking moose. Real story, all right? After that, I'm like, I'm out, man. I'm not dying to make like 200 bucks a night in some dumbass bar in the middle of nowhere. And here I am now making 200 bucks a night in some dumbass bar in the middle of nowhere and here i am now making

200 bucks a night on a bunch of stations but here we are man let's rock and roll hey how do you what do you where do you get your edge like when you're trying to to give people pics or let everyone know like there's it seems like the internet is flooded with people now that think they're experts. How do you separate yourself? I'm a big sort of situational spot better, and yet it's one thing that we do in the gaming community, and I always laugh about it, is we all try to play Fraser Crane, man. We all pretend we know what you guys are thinking. I'm telling you, every night,

tuning in our show today, well, the guys on the wickers are going to be thinking this, and the guys, the other one we hear, well, they don't want to go down 0-2. Who gives a shit what you want? You know, do we all get what we want in life? No, I've wanted to win the Powerball for a long time. I haven't. You know this, AJ and Pat.

You guys go, oh, and the other one you hear often, basically, AJ, fade the narratives. Whenever you hear another one I hear often, you hear the damn community. Oh, the crowd's going to be going crazy tonight. Have you guys ever lost a game because of the crowd? Like, let's be real. Yeah, that's a great question. That's a great question and a very realistic way to look at gambling and picks and

your way of describing these things is why you are Gabe Marinci out there. I mean, it is magic. What happened last night? Hey, you said your dad or grandpa was in the NHL in Edmonton, I believe, or Montreal, I'm sorry. Last night, hey. All the same, Patrick.

Canada. Yeah, Canada. Hey, that was a big-time shot there. It came out of nowhere. That's not good for the game, Gabe. That's not good for the game, Gabe. What's not good for the game, Gabe. What's going on up there? I thought this was a gentleman's sport. Listen, my uncle played in the

WHA. His team got into a brawl. It was actually the creation of the movie Slapshot, alright? So I'm all for old school hockey. I'm all for, hey, let's say you hit him with a stick, and I love all that stuff. But we're talking about a defenseless player here.

I think the best way to put it, guys, so basically Evans scores on the Montreal Canadiens, Shifley comes barreling down the ice about 150 feet, full speed, could have let up. It's a classic example, guys. Guy scores the touchdown. It's already been two or three seconds, man, and then you decide to level him

and not only level him but hit him in the head hit him in the head as well it was evans's 25th birthday happy birthday at least he got the win this wouldn't have happened guys in hockey because you would have got the shit kicked out of you after but now there's they call it the instigator rule so if you respond after they'll penalize the guy that responds and kills the guy for hurting somebody more than the guy did for actually hurting somebody in the first place hockey players in the sport of hockey used to be able to police itself now you got gary batman as the top cop and now everyone just chirps runs their mouth imagine, if you're on a field and there's no accountability ever. You know I can't punch this guy in the face because I'm going to get kicked out.

Yeah, he just cheap shot on my quarterback, and he's running his fucking mouth after, and I can't do anything about it. That's the problem in the NHL right now. Okay, so you went through that entire beautiful picture of painting old school hockey. And, by the way, I always say Sidney Crosby, the greatest player of all time, if he played back whenever Wayne Gretzky was playing and when Mario was playing, there was goons, there was people. They couldn't be 10 feet around them.

Sidney Crosby gets buried every single night, Gabe. He gets no protection. And it's because of these new rules, Gabe. These fucking new rules taking down hockey. You're damn right. Let's do the patch. I'm having some puff kicks here. I'm saying the same thing. Look at Wayne Gretzky had more protection than Beyonce does.

All right? Literally. Like, Wayne Gretzky had people, like, spoon-feeding him. And if you looked at him, you'd get beat up. Hey, don't look at him. As you mentioned, Sidney Crosby. I watched this kid play growing up, Pat, in a place called Rimouski that I guarantee you no one tuning in has ever heard of. Played for the Rimouski Oceanic before he was on the Pittsburgh Penguins.

That's junior hockey. That's what I'm talking about. He was taking a motherfucking beating. He's taking a beating more than Paul is versus Floyd Mayweather, all right? Like, this kid got beat up all the time, fought through it. You ever seen Sidney Crosby's, man, thighs? They're literally motherfucking tree trunks, man, this guy. He's going to be a fullback.

Yeah, I agree. And his grit, determination, his leadership, he's the guy. But now that every star in hockey is out, basically. I mean, Ovechkin gone. See you later. How you doing? Sid gone. Mick Jesus gone.

I guess McKinnon in Colorado still. The NHL playoffs and the NBA playoffs, you said fade the narrative. So I assume you think LeBron's going to lose tonight. But LeBron could be out. Kawhi could be out. I guess the Nets could be in. The NHL, all the stars are out. What the fuck's going on, Gabe?

And how do we bet this whole thing? Well, you know what's crazy, man? The league always wants New York versus L.A., whatever league it is. You're going to get it, except it won't be the Knicks and Lakers. It's going to be the Nets and Clippers. No.

And people in New York and L.A. don't even care about the Nets and Clippers. Hey, the Clippers stink. Don't they, Gabe? Hey, don't the Clippers stink? Yeah, well, I don't know. One day they do, then the next day they don't. It's everything in the NBA.

They're moodier than I am. Hey, something you said there, Pat. How about this, guys? 17 of the top 18 highest paid players in the NHL are eliminated. It's a team sport. It's a team sport. It's a team sport. Oh, Conor McDavid has 105 points in a regular season. Good for you.

He got swept. It's all about performing in a close season. Comes down to a hot goalie and the Montreal Canadiens have that hot goalie right now in Carey Price. Four straight wins, guys, at plus money. And there's no end in sight. How about this for a stat? We'll get serious for one second. The Montreal Canadiens with Carey now i've won 18 consecutive playoff games if they score three or more goals 18 straight 24 out of the last 25 while they scored five last night unless

winnipeg's holding to less than three keep on cashing tickets canadians roll and win this series gumpy was saying the same thing. That seems to be the money bet at the moment. We're talking to Gabe Morenci, legend that you might not have heard of. You can hear him on SportsGrid, on SiriusXM, and also on Twitter, at SportsRage. Go ahead, Connor. Yeah, Gabe, can you explain to the guys in here

and to all the people listening why the Bruins are going to go on and crush the Islanders tonight in the Coliseum? Yeah, you know what? I almost want to see it. No offense to all the Islander fans, but I'm tired of seeing you on Twitter. We get it. You like your team. Yes.

Like they say, the Islander fans get like 200 people in a room. And they're like, oh, look how crazy it is. There's 200 people in a fucking parking lot in Montreal watching a game like that. Like, oh, good for you. You got together and watched the Islander game together. That's cute. And I like the Islanders.

I think it's a cool game. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. We love them, yeah. Good game, brother. Hey, listen. I hate the fucking Boston Bruins, right? They're my natural born rivals,

but I respect the hell out of them. They're going to win this series, and they're going to win this game tonight. What about, hey, you mentioned the Floyd Mayweather Logan Paul fight. Can we bet on that? And are you putting anything out on it? I just can't justify it.

It's like watching cable news. I don't want to give them the hits. You know what I'm saying? I can't do it, bro. I find, you know, I just can't go this low. I just can't go this low. I just can't go this low. What a fucking hero, Dave. And, Pat, you know, I've gotten in arguments at home with people before.

I've gotten pretty low before. I just can't do it. I don't know. Are you down with this, AJ? Like, I love real boxing. I love the UFC. I love this stuff. I love the UFC. I love this stuff. I just can't. Honestly,

if you guys offered me $50,000 I'm not even lying. You put me on a lie detector test right now. If you offered me $50,000 I would not be able to tell you which one of these motherfuckers is Logan and Paul. They're both in the way. Logan and Paul. Jake. Jake is the brother.

Jake, Logan, Paul, whatever. If you want to fight me i'll fucking fight you guys like stop gabe listen we don't need you fighting anybody we just need you to continue to talk um i don't know if it's not regulated obviously so you can't bet it on like any of the actual sports books i assume offshore is available logan paul hey one punch you know i mean nobody's ever been able to punch floyd ever really that's kind of like floyd's thing but if logan lands one it's over gabe and you're gonna have to eat your the paul brothers are saving boxing gabe they are boxing you know what i saw jim lampley's career got saved. I'm like, poor bastard. Jim Lampley got signed to this stuff.

To this stuff. Jesus. Gabe, you think Braun wins tonight or no? I've been on Phoenix all series, Pat. So we've got two more cracks at this. I think this is the real deal, man. I think Chris Paul's tired of bashing. I think LeBron wants to go on his Space Jam-free movie tour.

It's lights out tonight, Pat. Phoenix, the valley rises. No! Do you think the NBA's going to let LeBron get out of the series this early in the first round, Gabe? I don't think they can stop it. I don't think they can stop it.

I think Phoenix understand they need to deliver the knockout punch tonight, and I think they do. Phoenix and Chris Paul, Chris Paul, remember they had the Warriors on the ropes a couple of years ago and he got hurt? This is just different this year. The Lakers aren't the same, bro.

I don't know. Gabe, I heard that crowd's going to be going crazy, though. How are they going to win? Yeah, true. The crowd went. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Settle down, though. How are they going to win? Yeah, true. The crowd will settle down. Jack Nicholas over there.

Ladies, I'm sure Diane Keaton is really going to win. Hey, Gabe, we appreciate you. You know what? You just told me you're up till 4 a.m.

You're on the left coast. You wake up to the show. We appreciate you so much, man. It was a pleasure and an honor to be with you guys. You guys kick ass.

Most popular show, best show, rocking in North America. As soon as your boy, Aaron Rodgers, tells you what he's going to do, please let me know, too, all right, so I can look smart? Yeah, you got it. You gave her a chance. Channel 204, by the way, he owes Sports Rage on Sports Grid Series XM. Hey, did you know that guy existed before that i did literally hammer down was talking to him and i was watching and he had

his boat i think he had a hat on maybe at the time and it like got popped up and he was like yelling about something i'm like who the fuck is that guy and then i i he is all every day he's that by the way that is him all day every day i would love to hear some homicide songs yeah but man he fade the narrative is probably a good idea in sports gambling, by the way. I mean, that feels like that is the way you win in this whole thing. Diggs, that's kind of your thing, too. You're kind of a fader of what everybody else is saying as well. Sometimes.

Not when it's like tonight I won't take the Suns because I'm too scared. I do believe that LeBron is the second greatest player of all time, and he could potentially come out and have a great game tonight, so I'm not going to do it. Two different sports. He's the best player of all time in this particular sport of basketball. Sure. All right.

Happy we agreed to that. Ohio guy, you're a LeBron fan, yeah? Yeah, I'm a LeBron fan. I don't get into the goat argument, but yeah. yeah i'm a lebron fan i don't i don't get into the goat argument but yeah well mike sheshevsky sheshevsky had a press conference to announce that he will retire a year from now his uh press conference the president of duke is hilarious okay to look at i don't know how i mean animal that guy we'd assume has made some terrible decisions in the past. And that is just judging him by looking at him and assuming what type.

We could be completely wrong. But listening to these people talk about Krzyzewski, he was called a goat, you know. Krzyzewski said, he called me a goat. At least he wasn't a donkey. Good punchline in there. Krzyzewski still got it. That's going to be a Jeter year, huh? That's going to be a Jeter. They huh? That's going to be a Jeter.

They filled up all of Cameron Indore to announce that he's going to announce his retirement a year from now. It's going to be a big – I'm happy for Coach K out there getting, you know, all the due praise that he has earned over the last 41 years. Is that what he said? Something like that. Yeah, going into 42, yeah. 41 years.

So, I mean, obviously, like, people that are diehard Duke fans, yeah, they will be on board, but everybody else will be completely against this. Yeah, Jeter felt like everybody was kind of on board. He got gifts from every team, and it was like a full, you know, the hat tip. Did he, like, but he didn't, it didn't seem like he, like, published, like, it almost felt like he

didn't want any of that. No. You're right, AJ. God, AJ, you're such an asshole. He didn't want any of it. No, I'm dead serious. Like, Jeter, you don't, he doesn, you're such an asshole. He didn't want any of it. Jeter, he doesn't talk to the media much. He doesn't pump himself up. Everybody else pumps him up. Now it's different that he's in the owner's role.

I mean, that might have been a strategy by his media team. Maybe is what some people say. Great strategy, by the way. Jeter's like beloved by everybody. But I don't know if Coach K will get the same reaction everywhere. I hope they at least give him a way to go. Thank you. Thank you, K.

Thank you, Coach. He's one of the last. Coach K's lost it a little bit here at the end, but 41 years of doing something, he could get tired of it as well. Absolutely. We talked about it. It was very similar to the Drew Brees situation. If anyone is surprised by this, if you thought Coach K wasn't going to go out without making things about

himself one last time. Oh my God. You're nuts. Drew Brees didn't deserve that. A ricochet shot just came out of nowhere. In 41 years as Duke's head coach, Olympic gold medalist, national champion, countless lives changed. He didn't deserve that at all either.

I mean, they did fill up the entire place. I think they were playing his song. Every Time We Touch by Cascada. It was kind of a... Every time we touch, I get this feeling. And every time we touch, I do it right. And if your heart beats fast, that one is a laugh. Hey, if I got a laugh.

Hey, if I got a laugh. Hey, if I've missed Cameron. That must be a Duke thing because they were doing like a choreographed dance in there. People on the court, I miss this. The cameras, says Coach K. One more run. Hey, this might all be a recruiting ploy for one last team here. I don't know if they've signed their team already, but I bet on duke you know what i mean yeah i bet on duke is there

any bets out there for uh people saying like oh he's gonna regain the love he has for coaching he's gonna say i'm not leaving you know it's kind of cool like he got a chance to kind of see his funeral here you know what i mean they're gonna have like two retirement press conferences oh yeah they can prepare for the next one off of this one you know maybe because i did hear them make the announcement masks social distancing please yep they turn the camera everybody's in there just going absolutely bonkers and doing their whole thing didn't look like they were socially distancing but there was a lot of hand choreography that was able to be done i guess so they were separated but i think coach

k deserves all this praise dude honestly he should have done this years ago when he couldn't win with zion and john yep coach rory murray rj barrett what's that coach roy did it better unc coach just hung it up and walked away you're a unc graduate right yeah you went to one online class and got a certificate oh Oh, yeah. Also Stanford too, right? Not Stanford. I should do that though. Yeah, yeah.

It should be your thing just collecting papers. Me and Andrew. Yeah, you and Andrew. Don't teach a social media class. How about Kyle Trask? He's just being not too far behind Andrew Luck mentally. Seems like BAs just cutting promos right now. Yeah.

A lot of guys have photographed memories coming into the NFL this year. You know that guy that was considered like the smartest guy maybe to ever play this guy right here nobody talked about this coming in he's not too far behind i like him i have reached out to my sources in tampa bay to see how big of a comment that was from bruce arians i've got no response because all the boys are working down here this is a classic you know we're supposed to have scoot scotty miller on today by you know. We were supposed to have Scoot, Scotty Miller on today, by the way. What?

He was supposed to come on today. What happened? They had something. Something came up. I don't know if he's with Tom or with BA, if it's a lift or something. He had something happen. He was supposed to come on for Celsius,

with Celsius. He's one of the Celsius athletes or whatever. I was going to talk to him, see how this whole thing was going. Maybe we'll reschedule it. But I was going to dive in, because if he's at OTAs, which I would assume he's doing OTAs and Tom's throne sessions,

Scotty Miller, I'd assume at this point, he's doing both. Don't you think Tom may schedule at the same time, so you've got to make a choice? I love it. Now, allegedly, Bruce Arians had Tom Brady scout prospects in the upcoming draft wide receivers. I assume they had a list of potential

weapons that they were eyeing and liked. They sent it to Tom. You know, last year, Bruce told Tom, hey, you don't want to throw on Wednesday. Do whatever you want to do. You want to pick some players to join the team. You do whatever you got to do. This was his big issue with New England. You know, I don't have any say. They treat me like I'm Johnny Foxborough, this whole thing. And after 20 years, it was going to come to a head anyways. But B.A. is now saying, and reports are coming out, we're having Tom involved as much as possible. Now, we are in a public heel baby face situation because Tom has his camp. I have my camp.

But we're all on the same page here. We're happy Tom's here. I just, that team I think is going to be fucking unbelievable this year. I really do believe that they are going to be unstoppable this year. I'm with you. As long as they can stay healthy, who is going to stop them? Yeah, they may drop a few games here or there. But, yeah, Tom has transformed what they are.

They don't have to stay healthy, though. That's the thing about – Okay, your injuries need to come at the right time. Key positions where they have a lot of depth. Tom can't get hurt unless Blaine Gabbert comes in, who just two weeks ago was the most underrated and underappreciated quarterback in the NFL. Then I think when BA found out he wasn't coming to OTAs,

fuck him, Kyle Trask. Yeah. He's going to go over there. He's going to do his thing. But I think Blaine Gabbert and obviously what we're hearing from about Kyle Trask, maybe they'll be able to go in there, but Tom Brady's the difference.

Every other position, though, they have depth, dude. Like that is why accruing talent is so important, I think, in 2021. We don't need that. We got a wide receiver corps. It's like you do until one person gets hurt. And if that person gets hurt, guess what? Defense is completely changed playing against you and it can affect you. The Chiefs, the Bucs, they have all these weapons.

So if somebody does inevitably get hurt, which they will, it's like, okay, bang, we become a new offense, and we're not losing any explosivity here. I just, I don't know. I feel like everybody should be trying to do it, but what do I know? As long as their O-line continues to play well and stay healthy, they will win a ton of games. That's the only thing that I would worry about if multiple O-linemen went down. Okay, let's get to a break here.

We'll be back on the other side to wrap up this beautiful Thursday, June 3rd. Big thanks to Gabe Berenzi. Yeah, thank you, Gabe. You couldn't survive one week of my diet. I don't know if anybody can. He looks good, too. I don't know. Yeah.

Man, you got some great genetics if that's what you're doing. Yeah, 4 a.m looks good, too. I don't know. Yeah. He's like, man, you got some great genetics if that's what you're doing. Yeah, 4 a.m., bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. Oh, that had to be so good, by the way. Incredible. You got Dunkin' Donuts, bacon, egg, and cheese croissant sandwich. Every time. Man.

Is he intermittent fasting, you think? Like 4 a.m. to? Probably. Oh, yeah, probably. He's probably holding off until 4 a.m. to do that whole thing. Definitely. Is that your plan still? Yeah, I'm still going 4 p.m.-ish to 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.

I really like it. I'm enjoying it. I have like a sandwich kind of daily. I get to eat whatever I want whenever I want. I'm working out a little bit, doing some boxing. I feel like I can maybe maintain this long. I think I might have found a new me. This is the new me, AJ. You're looking at him.

I saw a quick thing on that rower you got. That was not the rower I was thinking. I haven't seen anything like that. Was that Homicide? That was DJ Griff showing his range. Wish it was Homicide. Hell yeah. Homicide is on the loose.

Driving our van, we almost hit a moose. Things going crazy, we got a leather. We're bringing the juice. Homicide. I love that. That's what made him quit, was hitting the moose. All right. I'm not fucking dying from the moose.

Let me out. That was the most Canadian dying from the moose let me out let me out thank you guys so much for rocking with us we appreciate it hashtag end of pod squad we're still giving away money send us a picture let us know what you're doing if you've got this deep into the show we appreciate the hell out of you.
