Great to see you guys. At Boston Connors here.

Nick Miraldo of That's Hockey Talk. And the pod is in the room. Then the boys in the back. Nick is normally cutting, clipping, tweeting videos from the show in the back while the show is live. Hosting That's Hockey Talk and a lot of other things on the internet. Mostly bringing just absolute optimism all the time to every microphone you step in front of. So I appreciate that for the next three hours out of you today, Nick.

Thank you. It's magnificent to be here. It's a little bit brighter out here. It's very dark back there. Yeah, well, when the lights come on, you know, stars come out. Speaking of that, ladies and gentlemen, A.J. Hawk. Yeah, A.J.! A.J., what's going on over there, pal, in your bear shirt with your Hawk name? Hey, what's happening, pal? Good to be with you here right off the jump.

I'm pumped you're here. I want to let you know. Let's go! Because I'm going to miss. I want to let everybody know. We're going to be off tomorrow and then next week. And there's something massive happening this weekend for, you know, old Mad Mel and Jason Glazer and everything like that.

But I'm like super pumped. I'm going to miss, hey, I'm going to miss you guys, man. I want to let everybody know I'm going to miss this for the next couple of days. There's going to be pictures, all right? You guys are going to see pictures of me probably obliterated. If I had to guess. You're going to see me rather cloudy. The altitudes are going to be high numbered.

There's going to be pictures of me, but know that I do miss what we're doing. I enjoy the hell out of this. AJ, I'm happy you joined for the first hour as well. I'm trying to get as much as I can before I have an absolute blast alongside my wife and everybody else as we go out there.

Let's make today's show good. Let's go, boys! Here we go. Maybe this show's so good we just, you know, never come back on the other side. Well, that's no fun. Let's go! I was kind of getting ahead of myself there. You're already there?

I would at least like to do another football season or ten. Hell, yeah. Football season, man. It's 70 what? 77 days, baby. 11 weeks. 77 days until kickoff. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dallas Cowboys.

And speaking of that game, the NFL posted on their Instagram, they posted, which offense are you taking on kickoff? And it was the Buccaneers offense and then it was the Cowboys offense. It was two swipes or whatever. And I am not a go-around-on-Instagram commenter, although I do appreciate the people that do that's work. It's not my thing. I commented under there and I said, the one that won the Super Bowl.

That was the only thing I wrote. It was a very simple one. That got like 12 000 likes on there maybe i should start becoming a little instagram commenter yeah i see people be doing it they'd be fishing for you know things in there so they go comment but is that a part of it i guess is that the other part of instagram that i don't understand aj you're an instagram influencer yeah you should ask me so you're an Instagram influencer. Yeah, you should ask me. So you're telling me your comment got 12,000 likes? More likes than most of my posts do. Yeah. I didn't know that you could like comments, I guess.

See, that's our problem, AJ. I think we're going to sound like stooges here because we don't do the Instagram. Okay, I don't do the Instagram. I should do it more. I've been trying to get into it. WWE has these incredible photographers. They have these, they make me look like a potential Instagram model. I've never been able to figure out Instagram.

It is not something, I mean, it got to me a little bit there for a bit. I was like, I stink on here. I think like my, because there are some people that crush on there. And I'm like, okay, that's good Instagram though. The rock. The rock crushes on there. They push his stuff though, you know? Yeah, but then you hear about the algorithms. Are you even putting effort in for any reason?

Are they going to pick and choose? And for me, I think that's what a lot of people that probably don't do good say, is that, so I don't want to resort to that. What I would like to resort to, though, is I haven't figured it out. And I'm on Twitter so much. It is hard for me. I went to TikTok. It's Mitt's face oh you know what i mean i couldn't i couldn't work it into my rotation instagram i'll go over there i'll try to post i'll try to do i think i gotta start getting into the

commenting game over there yeah i think that's what you got to do digs you you're an instagram guy you like it over there uh i'm not good at it either yeah but i think i didn't notice like if i comment on one of your posts like people notice you like my posts don't do anything but i think the issue is like on instagram you got to have a niche niche like you got to be you got to be fit or you're gonna be one of those guys who does pranks and nobody likes or you gotta dump your boobs out or who are the prank people i don't. I saw a video of a guy the other day and he was walking around with a box at a store and putting on people's heads and then trying not to get his ass beat. Yeah. Oh, that was real.

Yeah. Puts a box on his own head. Has he not seen these videos? People are not in the mood for the games at this point. And I feel like everybody after quarantine, maybe coming out of quarantine, feels as if they maybe have a little bit better fight game, too. Because I assume there are some shadow boxing stuff. Everybody was in the Oculus. Maybe the Oculus, but at the house, you know what I mean?

When you're trying to just get a little energy out because you're not allowed to leave your house or whatever. Maybe just do a couple of these, a couple of these. You think we got a bunch. Do we have a much better hand-to-hand combat country coming out of quarantine? Or is it just the videos we're seeing are our elite strikers just happenstancing with other doofuses with weak jaws? Yeah, I think the best of the best from each city are going to these games. They're being represented right now. They're putting it on.

They're saying, like, okay, if people want to go to these stadiums and talk shit, I will show up. And I'll show out and let everyone know. You know, he takes one of these. And I'll see you tomorrow. I could not fathom. AJ, I don everyone know, you know, he takes one of these and I'll see you tomorrow. I could not fathom. AJ, I don't know how you did it with all your kids, but if me, Jay, my mom and dad were locked into the house that we grew up in. Okay.

This is a tiny space. Tiny. Yeah. We were in on top of each other the entire time. That would not have worked. This is a tiny room. There's only one real room, and it was a tiny,

it was a living room one. Had one TV, obviously, and there Tim McAfee would have controlled it. It would have been a gloom and doom quarantine with what he would have been picking to put on television. A lot of Mika Motto auction. I mean, Mika Motto auction would have started earlier. No, it would have been like westerns and military movies.

Bingo. So those military movies, though, would have been run so much in westerns. We would have been fighting in that living room every single day i think our family potentially comes out of quarantine if we survived and that is a big if we survived in that house i don't know how families did all across i think we would have come out iron sharpened iron on the other side too i think there's a chance our family there's probably a lot of that though battle tested you think anyone with anyone that's on top of each other and has multiple siblings that they all just come out

like hardened like combat veterans after 18 months you hear about like the gronk family they're like oh we started wrestling and blah blah blah could you imagine being locked in your house with brothers that were around the the wrestling would happen like that's just something that naturally happens by the way and it after what 14 months at what don't you kind of become good at it i think maybe 10 000 hours someone one of the two is getting good yeah yeah i wonder if we came out like a hard a much no obviously no i think you've mentioned earlier you didn't uh to kind of say like the best of the best are going around these stadiums, like, hey, volunteering their services because they know people have been cooped up.

People that don't know how to fight are going to be talking trash to all kinds of people. So these guys that know what they're doing are going to come in and try to get their little, I would say, more than 15 minutes of fame. Wow, they deserve it, by the way. If you knock somebody out on the Internet, that content is going to be good. I don't care if you're in a crowd or in the ring or on a court or on a field. You knock somebody out, that's good internet. Come on and enjoy your life out here, especially sell some merch.

I mean, you got to assume the guy from the Padres game who clean one punch kind of kicked off this whole thing and people saw that and they're like, oh, okay, if this guy's one shot and I can do it too. Clean, walk up, far walk, pow. What's up? In real life. yeah not a movie no not a movie i'm gonna fight

uh you think sons and four guys gonna fight padre's guy on thriller well then you got to remember about the um oh what's that other place there was another game where there was a devastating shot i mean you guys compiled off pretty well i think when we go to break sometimes of all the fights. Yeah, it's a bittersweet symphony. You're locked in your house and go outside and fight. That's what they do, yeah. It's like you get out of your house finally, and then you get knocked out. It's a little do, yeah. It's like you get out of your house finally and then you get knocked out. It's a little bittersweet. It's a little way to football.

Hey, some of these stadiums, and I don't know what the NFL is saying. I know the Phoenix Suns had to come out and say, we ain't about this, okay? This is not what we – we don't want to be inciting violence at our games or whatever. It's like, hey, listen, if somebody asks for it and they come into your house and they get beat up, that's not on you. They had to cover their ass. Obviously, the Phoenix Suns had to say, yeah, Devin Booker gave him tickets. And, you know, it seems like he is a little bit of a celebrity. But we don't promote these types of actions.

We don't want to start to be courteous, be the best. We are the Valley or whatever the hell they got going on. By the way, there might be Chris Paul's coming back tonight, and they might just go ahead and go on a run. Then Trey Young, Devin Booker. That's a pretty cool future final that seems to be happening in that whole world. But the NFL has to get a – you think they're going to get ahead of this? Because there's always a message in every stadium,

and normally it's like the home coach, football coach, or a player that is revered or something like that. And they pop up on it and it's before you're on TV, the whole stadium is not filled. It's like, let's say the doors are open. It's a 15, 25, maybe even 30% capacity. And somebody pops up on the screen and goes, Hey, Chiefs Nation.

Okay. This is the best atmosphere in the NFL. And we are proud of it. But today, let's remember that we are also a fan base with great sportsmanship. We don't spit or yell or fight on others. So we can have a great game day for everybody, all ages. Go. Whatever the. Chiefs.

Yeah, that's not their. That was me. That was not an actual Chiefs one. I'm just telling you, I have seen so many of these because when the punters and kickers are warming up, that is when those are running or whatever. The NFL has always tried to get ahead of it, but I wonder after that first weekend, maybe up in the nosebleeds in some different cities that have some people that are okay

and bad about it protecting themselves with other drunks that are potentially going in there. I wonder how that'll get handled if the NFL faces the same shit that's going on everywhere else. I would imagine the NFL is hoping that they get lucky and that something like this doesn't happen because there's going to be people walking around looking for this all over.

It's going to happen. Yeah, it's happening. What do we – it happened before the quarantine. The only thing you can hope to do, though, is that people don't get it on film. Like, they don't catch – It's going to get on film. You need it on film. Hey, let's just stare down the barrel of reality, okay?

There is going to be somebody getting their jaw moved at a nfl stadium probably opening pre-season weekend oh yeah if we had to guess maybe not probably a regular season when there's actual passion everything like that but there are some stadiums that their fan bases enjoy like hey they won't come running their mouth and not in this city hey not in this city that's right there's some places that are like that they don't get talked about enough not at all and that's why the nfl needs to come out and say hey look if look, if you're an Eagles fan and some Cowboys fans are getting in your face in your home stadium, you can't do anything. Or on the opposite side, you tell people, hey, if you're not a fan of the home team, don't be going to games that you're not fans of. Don't talk no shit.

There won't be no shit. I think that's kind of how this whole thing is. You're not supposed to be a victim blamer in society, right? Never. But we talked about people being the best the best sharpening their skills in quarantine i think a lot of people sat at home and forgot there are consequences for saying things on the internet and when you get in the real life you're gonna get socked in the mouth there's a guy last night who was very lucky there wasn't a blowout at that padres dodgers game the padres guy just full-on finger in this Dodgers fan's face

after they won the game. Oh, really? So you had another one? No, the guy just took it. Nothing happened. Okay, so now how do we feel? I don't want to be a bad guy there, but hey, pal, you just got run on TV. Who knows what that guy did in the parking lot. I think we should check on

the dude who flipped off the other guy. Maybe everybody should be a little bit more courteous to each other this wouldn't be a problem sure i i think and i might be wrong and maybe there are headhunters that are paying 150 to go watch a sport team and act as if they're a massive fan wear the uniform and everything and maybe there's people that are going into these places and just looking to knock somebody out. Okay. There is humans in society that exist, I guess, that just like punching random people, fighting random people, whatever. But if somebody is drunk in that invested and chooses to go let their passion and everything

take over and they are in not friendly territory, like there's a chance that person's going to get punched forever by the way that's not just in sports that's in life as well i don't know how they'll uh they'll figure that whole thing out but the consequences people there's some people just don't think about consequences they think they can just do whatever they want i think these videos getting out you guys compiling foxy doing a great job putting it to. It may remind some people that may be teetering on the edge. Like, hey, am I thinking about being an idiot or not? Oh, I got to remember. I was watching Pat's show.

I saw the clip of 15 dudes getting knocked out with one punch. Don't do it. So, listen, I like to get drunk. I like to have a good time. When I get drunk, sometimes I'll say some things to people that I don't mean. I probably shouldn't do that anymore. People are getting knocked the fuck out for that. I'll go try it one time. Let's go see what happens.

Fuck you, bang! What if that was that guy? What if that guy that was in one of these punches, the Nuggets guy, what if the Nuggets guy's friends, okay, those two guys, you guys can't do this, okay? You saw what happened with the Padres thing. You can't do this. You guys get drunk.

You start talking shit. You start doing your own thing. They own thing like yeah no we won't do that or whatever bang embarrassing now they're trying to flip the whole thing but that is something you got to kind of check yourself before you literally get wrecked yourself by somebody else at a game whenever you're potentially walking back into a society not just game by the way anywhere well and that's the thing about the Padres guy who got knocked out that that was kind of an elder white so these people you know who see the you know who don't hear this rather, who are a little older, they might still think, hey, I still got the juice. You know, I got nothing to worry about. I'm an older guy.

Don't get hit, mate. If that guy was an older, drunk, shit talker at a sports game, I'd assume he is a fan of the show. Hey, we apologize. Hey, we apologize for what happened to your face, dude. Yeah, sorry. From what we heard, you fucking deserved it, all right? You just got to, you know, maybe pipe down next time. And respect for not pressing charges,

because clearly, you know, you knew that you deserved it. Yeah, legit said, no, I'm not doing it. There's a couple things we have to address here before we get to our first break. We got Scoot Scoot Scotty Miller joining us today. Can't wait to chat with him. We got another $25,000 and do we have an answer? we have already given away $75,000. We will give away another $25,000 today, which will lead to what?

We also gave away a golf cart. On the second day, we didn't just give away $25,000. We gave away two TVs. On the third day, we didn't just give away $25,000.

Let's go. He's doing it. He's getting married. Incredible wedding ceremony around the corner. He's making the best decision of his life to get married here. And we figured to honor Ty Schmidt, we'll give away something that he's going to be pissed that he does not have. You know, that is something that could have been a great wedding gift.

Now that I thought about this, Sam, Maybe one of you guys should think about that. The perfect wedding gift, I feel like, for Ty. You might actually ruin his weekend. Yeah, we're giving it away to somebody else. See, as I was speaking there, and we didn't think this out, I was like, this is an honor to Ty. Then as I continued to talk about it, I was like, Ty's going to be pretty pissed that he's going to want this.

Hey, Ty, you can win. Ty can win. True. Here we go. It's as to want this. Hey, Ty, you can win. Ty can win. Here we go. This is easy as this. Tweet the hashtag PMS100K giveaway week day four and predict accurately the percentage of made three point shots by this office. Everybody in this office this morning, by this office, everybody in this office this morning,

including Drunk Luke, who we met last night at the Fur the Brand event, who flew in from Pennsylvania all by himself, didn't have a flight till the afternoon, stopped by, said hello, got to meet him. He was a very nice, including him, including Tim McAfee, Billy Tube, Zito, everybody in here shot from each of the three-point shooting contests. Five shots all together.

One from the corner, one from the wing, one from the top wing, and then in the corner. These are NBA threes. And this all happened, by the way, before anybody did any warm-ups or anything. This is walk into the room. Like that would matter. It would.

It would. He never shot a shot okay so five shots for everybody jordan really had to warm up didn't he yeah he did extensive warm-ups he played every fucking day what do we yeah he wore his he had his full uniform on smoking cigars in the locker room that's how he warmed up are you talking about the guy who plays basketball every day how are you comparing us to a guy he was literally filming space i hold you guys to a high standard He was literally filming Space Jam. They had to build a basketball. I hold you guys to a high standard.

Sorry, I won't do that. I will think a lot more. Okay, I'm... Hey, I want to... Yeah, exactly. Thank you. You're trying to make me feel bad for whatever you just did there. If you don't judge me against Michael Jordan while basketball happens, that would be fantastic. I think we would all appreciate that. Life would be better. But five shots for everybody in here.

How many shots in total was it? 55 correct 55 shots what was the percentage of made shots if you get that right uh you will win 25 000 or a john deere track day if you get your answer in before everybody else who also has the right answer. Now, the percentage has to go to the 10th. Okay. So for those that are listening that maybe went to the high school that me, Nick, and Diggs went to, that is 10.1 number or 25.4. Okay. That's to the 10th degree.

No. Yep. First number after the decimal. Bingo. There it is. That guy went to school a long time and to ourth degree. No, yep. First number after the decimal. Bingo. There it is. That guy went to school a long time and to our school. Thank you, Nick. But hashtag PMS100K giveaway weekday four.

What was the percentage of made shots from those five spots? We obviously recorded it. It is a hell of a performance. AJ, what's your thoughts? 11.3%. Okay, did you tweet it? Nope. Come on, dude.

Throw that thing up for me. A little bit negative by you. All right. Good luck to everybody. I thought I was being generous. All right. Okay. Good luck to everybody.

Threes are tough, man. NBA threes are far too. I mean, they are a far, far away. Especially when you do 140 hammer curls, maybe. You know what I mean? It is. I can't. This morning, I couldn't really even get up off of bed with my arms.

It's tough. They are sitting at this angle right here. But it's a lot better to have this issue, you know, with my arms after pumping out 140 curls, than to actually be dead, okay? And yesterday, I got a chance to experience what it's like to be a dead guy. Okay. And I know that sounds terrible and weird, but it's the actual truth. And to tell this story, I have to go back and briefly tell another one. So when Chuck Pagano and Ryan Grigson were going into the last year of their contracts, it was a thought around, I think, all of football,

all of media and everything, that it was either going to be Chuck or Grigson. Okay, it was either going to be Chuck or Grigson. Jim Mercy was only going to decide on one. We obviously have that punt play, okay? So everybody buries Griff Whalen. Griff Whalen is the worst player of all time. Why'd he snap at Colt Anderson? That punt play against Patriots, boom, boom, boom. Griff Whalen, this Whalen is the worst player of all time. Why'd he snap at Colt Anderson, that pump play against Patriots,

boom, boom, boom. Griff Whalen, this guy at this point had been cut like 11, 12 times from our team. I mean, it was, this guy, for me, special teamer, he was everything. Like this guy, he was the holder, I think, at one point. He was the guy who caught an onside kick. He was just that, you know, guy who was always going to show up. So I go on Bob and Tom a couple days later, and Griff Whalen was trending, and he was getting ruined,

and nobody was sticking up for Griff. I'm like, hey, this wasn't Griff's fault. Griff just had a, it was a miscommunication. He was told something differently than what Colt Anderson was told. This is football. That's going to happen. You know what I mean? Nobody was sticking up for him. This guy was just getting ruined, and Griff could never say anything.

You know, Griff could never say anything about, because Griff could get cut immediately afterwards. So I go on Bob and Tom and I go, you know, what had happened was, and I actually explained how the whole thing happened. Right. And it was just literal miscommunication. One person thought one thing, one person thought another thing. One person who was in a pretty pivotal role got sick day of was not in there. I mean, it was just, there was a lot of things that happened. So Golik, I think on that point it was Golik, I don't know. I don't know if it was Mike and Mike maybe. I don't know.

Maybe it was the Golik. I think so. Mike and Mike. Mike and Mike or Golik and Wingo. It was one of them. By the way, I've since met him. Good guy. Become a fan.

But at the time, I never met him at the point. He won on it. He said something about at the time, I never met him at the point. He won on, he said something about how the punter should never speak about anything. And I think he was trying to protect Chuck Pagano because it could look bad for Chuck that there was so much miscommunication, especially against the New England Patriots and everything

like that. So I heard that and I was like, man, I was sticking up for my teammate. I was like, there is a lot of things here. I've never met you before. During that time, I was giving away tickets to games the night before on Twitter and I would have everybody

use a hashtag to enter and it would be an ungoogleable question, much like we're doing this week. Something that you can't just look up and find. You know, like, what's my mother's favorite dessert? Pat's mom's fave would trend like internationally. It was just something because Colts fans wanted two tickets to the game. It was very cool. I'd start getting people answering these and in Spanish and Portuguese

and everything. I'm like, okay, so it's gone big. You know what I mean? Back then they changed the way you could trend everything. So that couple of days later, after he said like, why is the punter speaking or anything like that, I was going to make the hashtag rest in peace Golic. Okay, RIP Golic. And my question was going to be something about I was going to tie it to football and I was going to give away like six tickets that week. I was like, all right, so this is going to be one.

I'm going to give away like six, maybe a sweet. I forget where. I was thinking like I'm going to go big and the hashtag was going to be RIP Golic. Okay, it was going to be one. I'm going to give away like six, maybe a sweet. I forget where. I was thinking like I'm going to go big, and the hashtag was going to be RIP Golic, okay? It was going to be four to five days later, and he was going to have to come out and say he wasn't dead because a punter basically started a fight. So, like, for me, that is immediately how I think.

I just want, for people, you just kind of got a chance to see how I operate there. That was, as soon as it happened, I was like, hmm. And I think Vinny was even like, ooh, the punter, huh? Like, I think Vinny was even, you know, like, this whole thing. Anyways, as I was coming up with the idea, I was sharing it with too many people because I was so excited for it.

You know, I was like, I was so, so excited for it, you know. It got all the way up to Conti. Conti, the PR guy. Alright, and Conti. Oh. Okay. Conti, the PR guy. All right. And Conti at that point was not the head PR guy. He was mediary PR guy. And he was the balance between the horseshoe and me normally,

whatever things had to happen or whatever. So he heard about it and he comes up to me and he goes, I love it. Hey, this is one of those things. Brilliant. Absolutely. But what about his family you know like what about what about people that maybe he doesn't know or anything like that i'm like hey fuck you i don't need i don't need like some reality here what a great pr guy doing his job right yeah exactly and he was like what about his family and everything like that and he like this was on friday he dropped that on me so i think he had heard whispers because we all like conti so I think what I was going to do was potentially

being chatted about in other circles in a lap, like, Hey, this fucking guy, he is going to, he's the night before we got a game, this guy's going to make, you know, one of the biggest talk show sports hosts ever come out and say, I'm not dead. I'm not dead. I'm alive or whatever. I ended up not doing it. Right. Cause Conti was right. I didn't want it to be serious. I wanted that just to strictly between be between me and him. And I think like he would, thank you. I am a hero. Had a great idea. It would have done really well. It would have been legendary. It would have been great. Somebody would have won a great suite, probably six tickets, the whole thing. But I didn't, I didn't think about the negative thing, which is by the way, something that can happen with me every once in a while, most situations.

So fast forward to tomorrow or yesterday. And I had to put out I am not dead because R.I.P. McAfee was trending yesterday. OK. And when the announcement was made about John McAfee, there was a notification that just said McAfee's dead. And I appreciate the people who, when they hear that name, they think of me because for a long time, I've had to answer a lot of questions for old John McAfee, virus scan guy. I don't know him. I'm not related to him.

But with how much I am asked about him, I have followed his life pretty tightly. And I'll tell you, what a fucking wild run that guy had. He was leading a gang at one point. He was going to cut off his penis. He had some cryptology operations going on. He's saying he's being hunted by the CIA and everything.

Lays under hammocks at times. We remember him. Come on. You've got to paint the whole picture. You don't want to just give a half truth and half version of this guy. Anyways, the guy got pooped on. He loved Cleveland Steamers. That is just par for the course for this guy, though, by the way. I think he

maybe killed somebody at some point. Nobody even knows. I mean, it's just, he's been on a run. He made hundreds of millions of dollars with the virus scan that was on every computer or whatever. So I fought along. So yesterday, RIP McAfee's trending. I'm getting text messages from people who maybe aren't that, like, dialed

in, but have a kid who's maybe on the thing trending. RIP McAf a kid who's maybe on the thing, trending. R.I.P. McAfee. Let's tell dad. Dad, hey, you okay? I got a couple of those yesterday. I got a couple. I saw a couple of tweets.

People being like, man, Pat was just getting started, too. Like, I was like, goddamn, I got a chance to experience, like, a memorial for myself. What I don't think happens, though, is there were some people that seemed to be a bit happy that it was maybe my time was done on this. So I did keep track of who I think those were from. Okay, that will not go forgotten. But I am happy not to be dead. But goddamn, RIP McAfee trending, I believe, is the karma coming back for the Golic thing that I was going to do that I never actually executed because of Conte's incredible PR.

But, yeah, yesterday was a long day telling people I wasn't dead. I mean, I had a good time. I was at my wife's event. It was a blast. But that was a wild way for them to roll out the information. McAfee's dead. And then RIP McAfee's training. I'm like, God damn, maybe I am.

What are we doing? Silver lining. You know who to invite to your funeral now. Now you know exactly who to invite versus the people who you thought might have been friends. I saw a couple good tributes. A couple good

touching, heartwarming stuff. Descriptors. I was like, maybe I do keep that in mind. You know what I mean? All pub is good pub, right, man? No, no, listen. This particular all pub is good pub right man no no listen it's not true this particular pub is not good pub i i didn't but if if someone if someone legit wrote like a an obituary for you after seeing that and it was super nice and awesome and talking about how great you are i would have to question that person's intelligence a bit because they could have

clicked one more time and realized it wasn't you. Oh, whoa. Yeah, yeah. But they were too focused on the tribute, dude. This is just a tribute. Exactly. So, like, the second you hear someone's dead, you instantly just start writing it out. You start crying and writing a letter. How quick did Bill Belichick have that letter out when Tom Brady left the New England Patriots?

Boom. Immediately. Right away. Hey, I'm probably on some death poles with people, but what I'm saying is the fact that john mcafee did pass away who is a legend maybe maybe by the way we'll see i mean he's he's been putting out tweets that he's saying if i somebody told me that they will have me or they will kill myself or something like that he said yeah which by the way a lot of people are making fun of him but it was a great line then he got got tattooed on him, whacked with

a dollar sign. He just put out a tweet a little bit ago, within the last year, if I die, I'm good. The food is good. I am living well. This is not me. So I think he potentially thinks somebody was going to come kill him. But also, John McAfee, if you have followed his

story through this entire thing, which I have, by the way, because I've been, you know, ipso facto connected to him with everything he has done. I've gotten tweets my entire life asking if I was related to person who insert headline here. OK, of what this guy has done. I don't know about that, but we do share a last name. He's probably from County Cork in Ireland, if I had to guess, which that place does hammer beers, and they do create maybe a guy who created the greatest virus scanner thing of all time that the world needed.

And then that then created a human who went on to live a wild life, and so much so that him saying, I would never kill myself, and then killing himself to cause the uproar that it would cause is something like Andy Kaufman, like that John McAfee would do. It feels like that's something that's potentially in the John McAfee vein. As somebody who has only really watched his doc, seen basically everything, that just feels like a potential John McAfee move. I could be wrong, but I seem to notice that you left out his latest Instagram post. What was his latest Instagram post?

Oh, man. It was just a certain letter. Like that you would put a song on your Spotify list so it comes up next. No. Oh, yeah. LMNOP. Boom. Right there.

Right there. That's it. So he's saying he was. He's saying there's something going on. I think that's a bad thing. I think it's a bad signal. Like, hey, that's like when the NBA has something. We put up the Sean sign.

Yes. That's what he did. Yeah. He's calling for that. Is it him? Is it someone in his camp? Is it, you know, wait, is he saying he posted from jail? Well, that's the question. It posts hum right yeah that's right oh so it just it went up after he was announced dead yeah

and he's following people on twitter too so this is his team running it which was tweeting for him while he's in jail i assume unless he was keister and which john mcafee once again would do he would keister if he had to pay off a couple people people. Yeah, he's, yeah, bingo. This is going to continue. Yeah, this is, wow. Yeah, this, by the way, also, I mean, whenever you say he's dead and there's a, I mean, that is another John McAfee. I think that is something

John McAfee has proven he would do. I mean, the guy moved to Belize and created his own game. They rode around with machine guns all day, every day in a pub. Had a couple wives, I think, down there. Created an entire thing. Had scientists create stuff.

I mean, he is a madman, this guy. There are people in Belize who wanted to kill him. And then he was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. How about this? How about I pay you and you kill people for me? And that's what happened. And by the way, that's what he's pretty much done with everything. And he lived like a king.

A king, yeah. I guess he did. Yeah. But he is the Andy Kaufman of computer business, though. What was he like before he hit it big and had all this money? Was he like a buttoned up dork? No, I think he was kind of, I think all those supercomputer nerds are like, you was he like before he hit it big and had all this money? Was he like a buttoned-up dork? No, I think he was kind of – I think all those supercomputer nerds are like, you know, like Balmer.

He's eccentric. If you think about – and I guess Bill Gates, you know, he's divorced now, obviously. Who else? I think he loves pool parties, yeah, from what I've heard. Balmer. Balmer, though, I think there are a lot of like – Pretty cool.

I think like eccentric, very smart people. I think there are a lot of like, I think like eccentric, very smart people. I think there's a, you know what I mean? I think that is, I don't know if that is a trait needed to become at the top of that world. Like think outside the box is definitely a trait you need. Think like, yeah.

People that invent things like that and are thinking of like, what, what's the next thing? Like, how do I get ahead of it? Yeah. There's something, something to it.

What if rest in peace Hawk was trending yesterday? How many, everybody would be like, AJ's the next thing? Like, how do I get ahead of it? Yeah, there's something to it. What if Rest in Peace Hawk was trending yesterday? How many? Everybody would be like, AJ's dead. Well, I think also Tony would probably take a lot. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. See? Yeah. Yeah, Tony would get a lot. Yesterday was a cool day, I'm going to be honest.

Especially when you're just looking online. Like, wow, I mean, that was very nice. Thank you. Very nice what these people were saying but but john mcafee was the mcafee for a long long time and now there are some people that they saw that and they're like oh pat's dead so i guess this is like a uh i guess this is a did i just go up a uh oh yeah yeah you certainly climbed the rung on the mcafee ladder i did huh let's go might be now what other how many other mcafees are you trying to kill off now Oh, yeah. Yeah! You certainly climbed the rung on the McAfee ladder. I did, huh?

Let's go. Might be it. Now, how many other McAfees are you trying to kill off now? I'm not killing off anybody. Slow down. I'm not. It's like people get out of your way so you can take another step. That's not what I'm saying. I'm not talking about the McAfees, by the way.

That was negative Nick and then toxic Connor posted that. I was talking about a level of acknowledgement there. That feels pretty cool to be there. Not Roman Reigns level. And now it is. I think you are a top dog when it comes to the McAfee's. No, there's an Irish

painter. Oh. Brick layer maybe. He had a good run, but I do think... It's going to be tough to search the internet right now for it. Yeah, it's all going to be John. I think there is an Irish author, and then there's a tattoo artist in Oakland or something like this.

Yeah, so you win. I think you're up on top of it. Let's go! You better watch out now. Jay might stab you right in the back. He might. I don't care. That's what comes. I'll be might stab you right in the back. Well, he might. I don't care. That's what comes.

I'll be the bottom rung of that Mac. Hell yeah. As the representative, as the representative, though, of the McAfee family now. Okay? Okay. What the hell?

This guy's probably... The first thing we are going to stop doing... Like you're like a mob boss. ...is taking any disrespect from any motherfuckers like A.J. Hawkins. Hey, that ain't happening, okay? John McAfee got ran around because he was up to some crazy stuff, and the McAfee family was viewed in a particular fashion. I want to let you know now,

we will not be taking any shit from you or any governments, all right? Hell no. We're just living our lives, having a good old taking any shit from you or any governments. All right? Hell no. We're just living our lives, having a good old time. And when you need the McAfees, know we will show up. We'll have a good time. We'll get the job done. And we'll bow out gracefully. Okay?

That is the McAfees now. And Jay, it's an honor to be the head of the table. Yeah. Congratulations, man. Good job, man. Oh, you did it! Woo! I am

Roman Reigns of the Macy's. What a job you did. I'm going to scour the internet for young McAfee, kids of the name McAfee that are going to be athletes like the next person. I need to find a QB, an NFL QB to really take your shot. He's going to be fucking investing. Hey, listen,

it's called a halo investment. I'm not going to tell you what to do. I'm just going to give you all the opportunity that you could potentially want. You need your own, you need to be going to a private school right now, don't you? Getting the best tutoring. Hey, listen, as long as it's under $20 million. Here's $5 million, kid. Good luck

out there. Come to the Hawk Training Academy, too. We don't jump into pools and hold our noses, and we tackle with the crown of our fucking forehead. That's what we do. What if that is, that would be an awesome move if you did that. If you built up a prince to come up and take the head off the kid, oh, my God, that would be beautiful. Get outside the castle.

Departed. I'd have to let him know, too. Like, hey, man, all pub is good pub, so whatever you do off the field, like, we need you to make a splash. You need to be a polarizing figure. Oh, see, that's what we – the McAfee family has had that for too long. Yeah. John McAfee was – It's not easy.

I didn't say it's going to be easy, man, to knock you guys off the top. Well, I think we – We may try. We waited our time. You know what I mean? We waited and waited and waited the waters. You might have to. With you putting all this stuff out, I know I'm interrupting you.

You may get a call, man, FBI or somebody. McAfee may be being dead and you gloating at his death. I know the McAfee family. I'm not gloating at his death, by the way. I'm just acknowledging the role that I now have as the lead McAfee. OK, so the new dawn. Yeah, exactly. And I know the McAfee family and the government have not had a good business relationship for some time.

No. I want to let them know, don't expect that to come anytime soon either. We still ain't bout it, bout it. All right. Now, we're not going to do the way John did with the whole dick cutting off and crypto builds and tattoos that they're going to get whacked by the CIA. I mean, maybe I'll get to that point. I don't know. I don't think John was always like that in any turn of something.

We're not Cleveland steaming anymore either. We are iron pressing things now and we are moving along. All right. I just want to let you know that it was a wild day, though. Let's talk about some shit that is happening in the NFL on the other side of this break. Here we go. Hey, there's real news to be talked about today, and I can't wait for it. It's like it was saved for our last day here, AJ.

Yeah, hey, I'm looking forward to it, man. I know there's a couple things you could touch on, so yeah. Tom Brady, Sean McVay, the Combine, Bill Belichick, and OBJ. I mean, that is big-time football talk that we'll dive into on the other side of this break. Go into the next hour. Scotty Miller will join us, then some phone calls, and then we'll give away, hopefully, another $25,000 on this hashtag PMS100K giveaway weekday four.

say 11.3 11.3 you go to the 10th there you go to 25.1 you can win 25 000 or a new john deere's e-turn we can't thank you enough people go through many changes as we get older, isn't that right? Oh, yeah. For men, one of the less fortunate changes is that testosterone production begins to naturally decrease in the body. Did you know this, AJ? I am aware. For most men, it begins around the age of 30, and testosterone production declines

by roughly 1% per year. My God. So if you live to 130, you ain't got shit left no minus 30. well if it starts around 30. this is one of those questions on a test where you know begins around 30. in the testosterone production declines by roughly one percent per year so does it start at zero or does it start at 30. that's the thing this is where they can get you it's one of them damn word problems this is one of those rounds where you're like oh wait a minute uh which can i ask a follow-up anyways i was good at those tests because i always viewed it as me

versus the fucking teacher that's right okay i don't know what's going on but this is me versus you fuck you that's how i view that's why friends at roman have a new supplement designed to support testosterone production.

Now we know. Hey, Roman. Thank you, Roman. Thank you, Roman. Thank you, Roman. Last time he was supposed to come on, we had him muted. We said, hey, listen, Jason McAfee, who is a part of the McAfee family, who now is being run under new leadership, he had him muted the entire time, which is a damn shame

because I can't wait to hear what this guy has to say. Super Bowl champion, fan of Celsius, how could you not be? Ladies and gentlemen, Scotty Miller. Hey, Scotty! Yo, yo, yo. Scotty, I saw you take the AirPods out. That's probably because you potentially thought it was your fault. It was our fault.

Scotty, this was our fault. Was it? Yeah, yeah. We learned after you got it. All right. Yeah, we apologize. I tried FaceTiming my wife afterwards, and she could hear me. Hey, whenever we get a chance to chat with somebody like you,

I think we get excited because you're a guy who not only has his Celsius like we do, but the explosive plays that you made this year coming out of absolutely nowhere, and then we see you boat parade party and having a good time, it feels like you're the perfect glue guy almost for that locker room. You make great plays. It seems like everybody likes you. What has it been like being, you know, thrusted into a vital part of a locker room,

especially the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Because I think that's why I like you so much. I was like, I wish I'd be on the same team as you like, I think, with AJ. What is it like in that Buccaneers locker room, and how has your experience been down there? It's been great. I mean, I try to lay low a little bit.

We got some big time characters we got grok in there always running around like a maniac uh we got cam bray trolling everybody in there i don't know if y'all know him too well but uh he's always a funny guy but we got a good group of guys and it's cool because i don't know if a lot of other teams do this but a lot of guys stay in tampa and live down here so we're all able to hang out um in the off season like times like this um and just get to know each other really well i actually had everybody was all i don't know how everyone on memorial day weekend ended up at my house i don't know how that happened because i definitely don't have nearly as nice a house as all these that's why yeah i got like this little pool basically looks like a hot tub and we got

gronk oj all these massive dudes playing pool basketball. And by the time everyone left, there was about, I mean, there was no, the pool might as well have been a skate park. That's awesome. See, that makes me believe everything I said to go into that question is 100% right. The team is tight down there. You guys just won a Super Bowl. Now the big

conversation around the Buccaneers, not only can you go undefeated, but these OTAs, hey, Tom's got his team, alright? BA's got his team, alright? And BA said, hey, some of those motherfuckers over there, they don't even know they're competing for a spot. And I feel like whenever the Tom group showed up at

the mandatory OTAs, everybody went up above and beyond to showcase, like, hey, we're in shape, B.A. All right, take it easy. Because B.A. has come out and said, I'm going to beat the shit out of him. That's exactly what he said. He wasn't lying.

He was not, yeah. He was not lying. That's kind of been his entire thing. What did you do there? Because I assume Tom and everybody setting up workouts and everything, you have to be there for that. I assume you're also a guy that's like, hey, B.A. gave me an opportunity here.

I don't want to say fuck you to that. How did you handle that whole situation? Yeah, so my situation was unique. I had something going on in my body this offseason. So I was actually rehabbing at the facility while all the guys were doing OTAs. So I actually didn't go to any sessions with Tom this offseason. But for Tom and them and all that group of guys that was over there, CG, the guys were doing otas so i actually didn't go to any sessions with tom this offseason but for tom and them and all that group of guys that was over there cg and everybody all the skill guys

i think last year we we we wanted to build on something that we did last year uh right when tom came to town we were getting together two three times a week at a local high school um and we just loved that foundation we built so i think Tom wanted to just keep going on that. It worked last year, so why not do it again? I think it was Tom's mindset. So for me – Did he break into anybody's house? Because that worked too. He broke into a house last year and won a Super Bowl.

Yeah, hopefully he does that again this year. We'll see. I don't know. But, yeah, so for me, if I was healthy, I probably would have been with Tom. I mean, you've got to be with the quarterback. I mean, if he was at the facility, wherever he would have been, I would have been. But, yeah, that's kind of how everyone thinks unless you're a new guy, like B.A. said. Hopefully I'm not one of those guys he was talking about.

But I think that's kind of how everyone feels. But, yeah, I think it worked out. We had our minicamp. It went really well. It was tough. We do two fields, so half the guys are in one field, half the others. So you get a ton of reps. But it worked out really well.

Everyone was in really good shape, working out just like you would expect. So it was good. Going back to those workouts you guys did last offseason, you said you got together like two or three times with Tom. How valuable were those to you guys? And how are they run? Do you guys get up and have like a little stretch line? Is it organized?

How do you do it? Yeah, really all organized by tom i remember the first time cg had texted me chris got one texted me and was like yo uh we're about to throw a time tomorrow morning and i'm like whoa tom brady uh better get to sleep early tonight uh which is like crazy to be here for the first time that was wild but uh really organized ag alex guerrero tom's uh tom's a right-hand guy. I'm sure you guys know him. He's there with Tom, kind of getting Tom warmed up. We all warm up on our own.

And then Tom just runs the show. It's like a practice, basically. It's routes on air, but he's calling out the play, go line up, calls out the defense, that type of thing. And even last year, we had a bunch of DBs come out, too. We were almost running half-line drills. So we were getting after it pretty good. I think that's just a testament to Tom,

and, I mean, he's going to get that work in at all costs. That feels like the potential future of OTAs whenever the next CBA is up for conversation, and there'll be a way somehow the NFL will profit off of these passing sessions alongside the teams and the players. It'll become something because I've got a chance to watch a couple of those that Peyton had in like in person. No idea how I got invited. I think I might have been at somebody's house and they were like, hey, we're going to do this thing. You want to come? I was like, I'll come punt some balls. They're open field. They're like, yeah, I think that's why we're

going or whatever. I get there. There was no open field. There was one one field they were on and i just sat back and watched basically i'm like this is incredible because guys are trying new shit like guys are and you're learning and like testing out new routes new pushes new everything it's like it's pretty cool to kind of see you know the freedom of that type of thing uh we're talking to scotty miller you said you were dealing with an injury are you all right were you back for mandatory are you going to be camp what you don't have to dive into it I don't it's up to you yeah I was back um so I was dealing with a groin injury all last year really literally the first game I tweaked my groin so all season I was dealing with this so I had to take care of it right after the Super Bowl um and then I was back for I just had got cleared right before mini camp. So a full participant in it and felt really good.

So, and now I get like five weeks before camp starts up. So I'm really fortunate with how I'm feeling and excited for having another big year. Hey, we're excited for you as well. The groin is tough. I can't believe you're blowing by people, you know, with a pulled groin. I assume the rehab and recovery on Monday and Tuesday was miserable. You ever put your Celsius in one of these bad boys? I have not.

Is that a – that's probably – Don't spill it. Looks like there's a lot of liquid in there. Keep it nice and cold. I don't know if you remember my dog. Yeah. I don't know if you remember last time I was throwing treats to her. Yeah.

She's going crazy barking at me again hey what's going on welcome back recurring guest here friend of the show pooch of the show canine of the show what's the name of uh the dog hula hula hula what was she doing when gronk was splashing around your pool turning that place into a goddamn slip and slide she's actually she's maniac, so I actually took her to my neighbor's house who was out of town, locked her up, checked on her every couple hours.

If not, she'd be jumping in the pool. She's not allowed at the parties. Have you guys thought or talked about the 17-0? No, we have not talked about it. I think we've heard some of the guys on the Chiefs make comments about it. Maybe too blown up. I don't know. I think we've heard some of the guys on the Chiefs make comments about it. Maybe too blown up. I don't know.

I think they just want to win every game like anybody does. I mean, who doesn't want to go 17-0 and win the Super Bowl? I mean, I would say that too. I want to win every game. But we haven't talked about it. But, I mean, we've got a great team coming back. We've got everybody back. We're probably one of the most talented rosters in the league.

So we should have a decent shot going into every week, you know. So, we'll see. And going to the NFC Championship game, did you know, like, before you caught that touchdown right before halftime, that really people loved to talk about it? It was an unbelievable play. Did you get any kind of read pre-snap that that was going to happen? Did you feel like, oh, is this really happening?

Are they really doing this? Yeah, so before the play, the play call was literally like bunch left kick to go like simple play and tom's like mike scotty like run to the back corners i'm gonna you know pick somebody so i'm we're in a bunch i'm telling cg before the play i'm like why not why not because i'm like you probably catch a jump ball. I'll stand there and try and catch the tip, you know? But then we saw their defense. They were in like one high when the corner was like probably 12 yards off me. And I saw them just kind of sitting there. So I'm like, I thought, I was like, no way they're going to run this.

I thought they were going to go pre-in. The guy was just going to bail. Snap the ball. Dude's just standing there. Run right by him. Good thing Tom saw the same thing I did. As soon as I ran by him, look up, ball's in the air, ball's right in my arms, like easy play.

So it was crazy. So that's vital, right? You and Tom seeing the same picture. How long do you think that took for either you and Tom or for Tom in most of the offense since he had to learn a new one there? Because people talk about going up to New England and not being able to understand the offense because Tom and the wide receiver and tight end,

everybody has to be on the exact same page without really saying anything. Is it similar in Tampa? And how long, like after that bye week, it felt like you guys really started going. Yeah, 100%. It took a while just for Tom to kind of understand what B.A. and Byron wanted to do and them to understand what Tom wanted to do. And once they kind of like meshed it after the bye week, because it's hard to figure stuff out when you're just going, going,

going every single week. But once you get time to settle in, you can figure stuff out. So once that bye week hit, Tom really drove home stuff he wanted to do. They came together, had a great plan. All us receivers understood what spots we were good at and what we were going to be playing going forward. And we just rolled from there we saw bits and pieces

of success before the bye week but then after the bye week I mean we were rolling every single game how big of a change was it did you have to

almost like learn a new playbook like what was the change really yeah I mean like some of the plays we were running

during camp and like some of the plays we were running during camp and, like, some of our basic plays were we weren't going to run anymore and we were going to install some of Tom's stuff. But we still had, like, the basics of the offense was still BAs and Byron's and that whole philosophy. And like you saw, like, go deep before halftime. That's their philosophy. Let's take shots, which I love.

It's perfect for a guy like me. But then we also, like, so many more checks at the line because before we didn't really have any of that. It was kind of just like line up, read the defense, and do your job. But then Tom was really trying to figure out manners and get a lot of indicators like quarterback did. I'm sure you saw Peyton. He was the master of that.

So just kind of implemented that type of stuff. And once we did that, I mean, we were very difficult to stop. I'm happy to know that I don't know who all had to get on the table for that conversation to happen for B.A., who has had a lot of success with his offense, and Byron, who has had a lot of success in that offense in a lot of places. And whether it was Clyde or other coaches, or maybe even it was just Tom or everybody else saying,

hey, listen, we're not going to change your offense, okay? But, I mean, I've been in the game for 24 years. This is my offense that I run. Is there any way we could potentially add some? Because that was the conversation going into the season. Whose offense is it going to be? Is it going to be Tom's? Is it going to be B.A.'s?

And then Tom even said, like, for 20 years, everybody had to come to me to ask the answers for an offense. This time I'm going to people. We wondered when the evolution would happen. That late bye week, I assume, delayed it a little bit. But on the other side of that thing, you guys were a fucking buzzsaw. And that defense, by the way. Your defense is so damn good.

I think that's why the thought of going undefeated is real, because your team seems to be absolutely stacked. I mean, that has to be a great feeling you know yeah we got like a we literally have like a star like every single position and then the depth is just tremendous too they've done a great great job drafting so i mean like you said the saints game we were kind of struggling on offense that playoff game um but our defense had like i think like three picks or something i mean they were just constantly giving us the ball back.

The Saints couldn't do anything. I mean, they did a great job. Connor, go ahead. Yeah, Scotty, how would you grade Coach A.Q. Shipley's transition from stud center to, I believe, offensive line coach now? Assistant. Assistant. Assistant to the assistant. Come on, dude.

A.Q., he's doing a great job. Coach him up. He's a funny guy. He to these. Come on, dude. Hey, Q, he's doing a great job. Coach him up. He's a funny guy. He loves walking. He's trying to lose some weight, so he's always walking around the field, staying in shape, always in the weight room. But he's great. He's going to be a great guy to have around.

We all loved him. I think he showed up right before the first game last year, but we just love having him around, so he's a great addition to the staff. Hey, go ahead and just, if you want to, you know, just experience life a little bit through the eyes of a hilarious, ridiculous barbarian of a man, just go ahead and sit by him for 10, 20 minutes. He'll probably become one of your new favorite humans,

as you have for us. Scotty, we can't thank you enough, man. Why are you, how'd you get involved with Celsius? We're lucky that they wanted to sponsor the show. Then we started drinking it and we're like, oh, god damn, this is, it is so good. It is so good. Yeah, similar

with me. I have been drinking it for a while now, ordering it on my own and then they kind of came to me and wanted to kind of partner up and do stuff together. So I was like, perfect. I love to drink it. I use it, you know, before workouts, whatever, just good in general. Um, so then I thought the partnership was perfect. Uh, they've been great to me. I love working with them. Like I said, they have new,

they have new like protein bars to come out with too. Hey, they're fast. If you, they're so juicy, it makes no... Coming in! Here's the salted caramel peanut crunch. It makes no sense, by the way. They say there's only 220 calories, but there's no sugars, I don't think, in it somehow. It's like protein

bar or whatever. And it's like, it's actually... Like, look. It's not supposed to be like that. This look. Ooh. It's not supposed to be like that. This must be cardboard. These things are supposed to be fucking cardboard. I don't understand how they're doing it. Yeah. This has no sugar.

I have no idea how they're doing it. Everything tastes too good. It's a scientific mystery to me, pal. I assume you feel the same way. Yeah, actually, I had a workout this morning. I had a little cookies and cream fast bar. I could have ran all day. It was great. See, like, this is an

incredible ad. They did not pay enough to have this full conversation, but they have provided enough for my life that I just want to say thank you. I love these. And the crash is not bad. And it's hard to find in Tampa. We're down there in Tampa every single week. These heaters, the pounders, very hard to find down there. Game changer for me. Go ahead, Nick. Tampa. We're down there in Tampa every single week. These heaters, the pounders, very hard to find down there.

Game changer for me. Go ahead, Nick. Scott, you're down there in Tampa. You're probably hearing a lot of go boats. Go boats. Go boats. They're going to bring this thing home on Friday night, game seven. Are you a hockey guy at all?

You know it. Back home, last time we were home, we won 8-0. So, I think one of our best players got banged up last night. Hopefully, he'll be all right. I don't know. But we're going to bring it home. home we won 8-0 so I think our best one of our best players got banged up last night hopefully he'll be all right I don't know but uh dirty play we're gonna bring it home probably gonna have grock going crazy getting everybody hyped up at the stadium tomorrow something like that so uh we're gonna bring it home are you going I don't know I haven't thought about it I've only been to one game but no dude are you gonna gain seven you gotta Yeah, I might try and go, yeah. We'll see. Hey, it's this, okay?

You too. See ya. Tell the dog we said peace to, Scotty Miller. Yeah! Go Boats! Go Boats! Go Boats! Go Boats!

Hey, AJ, you're a big meathead. You love these protein bars. Have you ever seen one do that? I have not. I thought you were going to eat it live on air. That's not my... I'm fasting still. Come on. You got my hand. Wake up, dude. It's a lifestyle. You're a fitness influencer, my bad.

No, that's you. I'm a lifestyle. This is just a lifestyle. It's different. Although I did eat a little late last night at my wife's event, which was awesome. I extended the eating window for another 30, 45 minutes. It was worth it. Yeah, good food.

So good. The piccata. Chicken piccata with a little lemon. You didn't want to sit there at that big old table and just sit there and pout and say, no, no, no, no. My window is closed. And you don't eat when 30 other people around you are. I wouldn't have pouted. Okay. I wouldn't have pouted.

Okay, I wouldn't have pouted. I would have been very above it. I would assume your wife would be like, Pat, honestly, seriously, just please. What are you doing? Yeah, but I would have passed the meat and the food and the broccoli, which had long stems. What are the long stem broccoli? What is that? Asparagus? Is that broccoli? It wasn't asparagus, but

it's broccolini. Yeah, maybe. Broccolini, titillini, a couple of broccolini's were there. I would. Broccolini, yeah, maybe. Broccolini, titolini, a couple of broccolinis were there. I would have just moved that right over to Pablo Escobar-looking guy sitting next to me. And he would have just eaten that whole thing. Absolutely. It was delicious. But I wouldn't have done that. Come on.

It was my wife's first event. I'm going to eat. I'm going to enjoy. Hey, I made a cocktail. I made a doggone daiquiri, dude. Yeah, it was delicious. And macaroons. That was champagne.

We chugged some wine. It was the... Oh, the Viejo Reserve 720-1163. Oh, my. It's a good pairing. The Campo. Oh, it's a good pairing with the chicken piccata. Delicious.

What a night, dude. There was a band, like a jazz band, that was playing covers. There was like a harp lady, right? Is that a harp? Yeah, a harp. Don't get me started. The harp played Brown Eyed Girl when I showed up and I was like, what is this? It's

unbelievable. Rolled right into Black Hole Sun right after it too. She was not happy. I sat in her chair and started playing. Yeah, well, we all knew that was the case except for you. I thought it was a communion, like everyone could come in and play. A communion. Come stroke it before the event starts. was awesome i'm very proud of my wife uh her team uh noel mystica bridget brandy the band the servers you guys crushed it

crushed it congrats to them man congrats to them. Where was that? It was at a hall here that's in a gated community. It's a big castle-looking sonebitch, basically. It was nice. It looked very nice. Yeah, it was very nice. It was cool. The weather, also, it could have been much hotter, which would have been a nightmare. Perfect. It seemed to be

really, really good. In the shade. Money was raised. Times were had. It was a blast. I was very happy. The anxiety level was high going had. It was a blast. I was very happy. The anxiety level was high going into that thing, you know? Sam was worried about it being perfect. It's like, well, it's not going to be, okay? Nothing is going to be. But it's going to be a great time, and it was a home run.

All of her worries and work, everything paid off. It was a lot of fun. The next event, you're going to come, AJ, all right? Have to. You're going to come. I actually loved it. I enjoyed it a lot. It was 50 people. It was kind of intimate. It was cool. I got a chance to chat with everybody,

chug some wine, gave a speech. All right, here we go. Did you drive the, uh, did you drive the Jeep over? I did not because it was, uh, like cocktail casual, you know, business cash and to drive the Jeep, I got to walk through, you know, the forest to get to. So I didn't want to do the full thing. You know what I mean? Cause to get my jeep you got to go jeeping on land with your feet to go jeeping with the jeep you know what i mean you earn it can't do it yeah you got to earn that jeep getting out of the barn i think we potentially have a uh international guest on in the next time surprise i think so i think we do i mean i don't think he's answered me yet so maybe not but you know there's soccer happening, I guess. I guess soccer is happening.

Nigel was awesome last time he was on, and him and Gumpy are the best footy bettors on earth or whatever. So we've got to talk about that maybe in the third hour. Nigel will get a little English accent until we get to that. Let's get some phone calls. To be honest, in the middle of that conversation with Scotty, I thought this was the last hour. Oh, really?

Yeah, I'm having a little Jason McAfee on my brain. I can't have that, Jay. Jay's the lowest rung. I'm king of the McAfees now at this point. Let's do what Jay does. You acknowledge it, and then you move on. And just carry on. Might happen again, too.

Let's go to Kyle in Rochester. What's up, Kyle? Hey, Pat. Thanks for taking my call. Kyle, thanks for calling in. How about that, huh? Hey, I appreciate it, Pat, thanks for taking my call. Kyle, thanks for calling in. How about that, huh? Hey, I appreciate it, Pat. So since everyone not named Chris Paul has officially beaten COVID,

are we going to see Pat and the boys at the Home Run Derby? I mean, you let Jet come on the show and bury Gumby. We got to pack out the Home Run Derby. He called me a bitch too, Kyle. And an asshole. That is a tough, hey, That is a tough subject right now. Because my heart's telling me yeah. But my mind, my mind telling me no.

Baby. I got to be smart. I have to think about it, you know? Who sings that song? You know who it is. Never mind. Isn't that one of your favorites? All right, let's go to Kevin in Chicago.

Kevin, what's going on, dude? That's disgusting. You. Favorites. Just relaying what you've told me in the past. No. That is not true what you just said. You jump at me like I'm serious.

Well, it's not. Hey, I just want to let you know. Clarify. Yeah, we all know everything comes out of your mouth is a joke, but not everybody. Kevin, we only got 45 minutes. I'll put you back on hold. Sorry about that.

Sorry, Kevin. Sorry, Kev. All right, we got to play. I'm sure we're going to be happy. I'll see you next hour, Kevin. I'll see you next hour. We're about to announce who won the putt thing yesterday. Oh, so you didn't announce how many it took?

Not yet. The video will run immediately following this hard break that's about to hit in about 20 seconds. In the third hour on SiriusXM and YouTube, AJ, what can people expect around here, you know? Well, you know what? On this very show, there may be a mystery international guest. International might mean domestic, too.

To my left, lighting a cigar and almost his house on fire, AJ Hogg. The Hammered Down Boys who go live at 4 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time at youtube.com forward slash hammered down are in here. How was the winning streak? How are we doing? Right now we're in between the round robin stage the group stage and the elimination stage knockout round yeah knockout round right the um who's who's gonna

win this thing who is it portugal because i saw cristiano ronaldo scored twice yesterday they're in a bad spot they're lined up with belgium in the first round of the knockout stage belgium is very good okay so that's who we're betting on to win this whole thing? Belgium? If England can get past Germany... Can't do it. Hold on. Just listen to me for a second. If you look at their side, the only other

really good team on that side is Netherlands. If England can get past Germany, it might be coming home. No! It was supposed to come home years ago. It's been since 66. Guess what? Never came back from the store.

Was going to get milk. Was going to get smokes. Never came back. It's not coming home. Especially if Cristiano Ronaldo is going to continue to play the way he played yesterday. France and England are the favorites, but, I mean, it's coming home-home with the Italians. I mean, we all know that. Okay, so you've had quite an about-face on those people.

Don't you even. Don't be internet people. There's a difference between gambling and rooting for your team. You bet on Turkey. Turkey, Tony. You bet on Turkey. Benedicto Arnold over here. Benedictini.

Benedictini down there. COVID cowboy. And then tried to come climbing back on. Benedictini down there. COVID cowboy. Wow. Arnoldo, dude. Benedict Arnoldo. This is crazy, dude. Isn't Ronaldo good enough to propel his team to victory? He is, yeah.

He's Christian Ronaldo, dude. What's that? What are you saying? No? Last Euros. I thought he put the team on his back yeah but five years pepe's 50 years old playing center back yeah but ronaldo picked up the ball he kissed it remember yes put it down on the spot scored celebrated day win how you doing keep

moving cristiano ronaldo is that the same guy that is playing now yes sir how has he been able to stay in shape since that moment till now, play all those games, and now beat everybody and everything? I think it's because he drinks a lot of agua. Yeah. No coke. Doesn't seem like the goalie has much of a chance during penalty kicks with Ronaldo. With Ronaldo, yeah. But there are some goalies that are

very good at guessing penalties. So they're just guessing which way, right? Well, you gotta read, right? Yeah, technically I guess it is a guess, but... You kind of give a no look, don't you? I mean, I know I shoot PKs at my kids. I give no looks all the time. Okay, so I was a PK shooter as well. They just call it a penalty over there, but I also did that.

And I didn't mind mixing it up. I would stare directly at the spot I was going sometimes. Then there's obviously the people that, like, try to open their hips and then close them a little bit. It's just you've got to get a feel for it. Some goalies can really do it. I actually, obviously, I played goalie one time. I played goalie for a PK shootout one time.

Whenever we were getting to overtime, I moved to goalie at the end of it so that during the PKs I would be the goalie. I think I stopped four or five or something like that. No big deal. Would you do the stutter? Like, would you do the two-step? I bounced back and forth. I did a full wings or something. No big deal. Would you do the stutter? Would you do the two-step? No, I bounced back and forth. I did a full wingspan, bounced back and forth.

How old was I? I was probably 12, 13 years old. Biggest asshole of all time, too. I should not have been doing what I was doing. It was pretty cool. But you get a good read. You can do it. But some of these goalies are incredible at it.

I have no idea how they do it. You need to just blast that thing. Did you ever get real cheeky? I hate when guys do that. I never got cheek at. I have no idea how they do it. You need to just blast that thing. Do you ever get real cheeky? I hate when guys do that. I never got cheeky. I evolved. I would try to go, you know, side panel or whatever on either side because that's what you were told you should do.

I evolved at some point when I realized nobody could probably kick the ball harder than me in the entire tournament. I just blasted it. I mean, I went right half of the net as hard as possible. I would shoot first at the end of my career in the PK thing because if the person does save it, the goalie, there is a chance the face is going to be pretty fucking mangled. I'm talking I was hitting balls as hard as I could

just to the right side of the net. It would normally lift to the top panel, but if you blast it, the goalie has to get real solid on it. That's why I hate when they try and get cheeky and just lay it to one side. You just look like an asshole. Just hit the thing. Some guys delay

and they figure out how to run and they have like, instead of just the stop, the goalie will move and then they just hit it the other direction. I never had that much confidence

in myself. I'm like, how do you not just hit that thing sideways? Yeah. That would potentially be a nightmare. Soccer's impressive sometimes,

you know, just not full games. But now we're here in the knockout round. This is going to be good, you think? Oh yeah, things are heating up, my friend. You lose, you know, just not full games. But now we're here in the knockout round. This is going to be good, you think? Oh, yeah. Things are heating up, my friend. You lose, you go home.

You're out. Now we go. And COVID no more. These stadiums are filled. Cranked. Wembley. Not Lucas Oil Stadium, though. Yikes.

Lucas Oil has not gotten a full go over here in town. Not in Canada, either. Canada still locked down? Don't need it. Montreal is going to win tonight without them. Big time. Canada still locked down? Well, it montreal is gonna win tonight without him big time canada's still locked down oh yeah not locked down but don't they say like we're gonna stay it's like the honor system okay we're gonna stay in the hotel and kind of make our own little bubble yeah they're still under covid protocols when they go into canada so canada's still completely

shut down more or less yeah so last night i went into a grocery store that I had not been in in a long time to stop to get some flowers for Sam, you know, to give her after her event. Hero. Great move. Thank you. Hero. That crushed one. Your timing was impeccable. Yeah, it did do well.

You know, it was at the end. You know, the whole thing. Congratulations. You got to make sure you do it in front of everybody so everyone knows. Not everybody. No, no, no, no, no, not everybody. Because I didn't want to take the, you know, the whole thing. It was just towards the end.

She had her car. I had mine. So I brought it. Congratulations. The thing's over. You did it. Way to go. But when I walked in there, grocery store, I hadn't been there in a while.

I don't have a mask anymore. I don't have one because, you know, I was told, hey, this is my mask. I was told, hey, here we go. And the only time I really leave my house is down in Tampa for that thing. And at this point, since I got it, I don't have the mask there. So I don't have a spot in my life where I have a mask anymore. And it's very nice. Now, if everything changes back with this Delta strain, I mean, okay, I'll go do the whole thing, the whole song and dance.

It's going to be tough to get me to get another shot, I think, if this one one didn't work and i'm gonna have to go back into that world that's gonna be a conversation that'll have to happen but i walked in there that grocery store about 50 50 and the first 10 people i saw all had double masks oh whoa and i was like oh shit am i allowed to even i like i like it was a am i even allowed to be here i looked to my left all the cashiers didn't have them on so i was like okay good go we good so we're kind of feeling it out but that was my first time seeing a mask in some time now and i'm like almost taken back like what did i miss are we dying again are we am i fucking dead again i've been in my sports timeline i got vacation coming am i dying again that's that was my immediate thoughts i don't know if that's the case or not i still haven't gotten an answer

the national chains yeah the national chains have opened up and i feel like that's the case or not. I still haven't gotten an answer. The national chains. Yeah, the national chains have opened up, and I feel like that's a good sign because a lot of the times, even when there were no mask mandates in, like, Florida, Tampa, for instance, there were still places like Starbucks where it's like, hey, you still got to wear a mask in here. Yeah, Drunk Luke said that when he flew in for the brand event last night, he said airports, you still have to go full mask. Everywhere, yeah. I just wanted to, yeah, you don't know, you don't fly commercial, but yeah, it's everywhere. In the plane, the kids have to wear them the whole time.

I wonder when that's going to lift. If it will. Ah, man. What about the Delta? What if the Delta makes its way into the private aviation? You know, and that's... You can't. Because you don't know what it's like over there. Yeah, you don't, AJ.

What is the Delta? It's so nice, dude. It is unbelievable. I did get to hitch a ride home with you one time. Oh, one time. No, they had a flight attendant lady. It was very nice. I know. I was trying to sleep.

You kept waking me up, trying to get me involved in the conversation. Orlando. I'm not a sleeper on a plane, pal. I'm not a sleeper on a plane. Listen. I am. Are we not celebrating here? We're doing something that's pretty cool.

You can walk on a private plane and just be like, yeah, whatever, and just fall asleep. Not me. I'm like, hey, I don't know. This is incredible. This is incredible. We're flying on our own. I did that, too. I said, this is incredible.

Thank you so much for having me. And then 30 minutes later, I got to go to sleep. Yeah. Clearly, you love it. All AJ's got to do is picture Wetzel the pretzel's voice. He's gone. He's out. He's out. And by the way, he drives, he sleeps, he flies, he sleeps.

You should not even be walking at this point. You have somehow won a Super Bowl and a national championship. It makes no sense to me. You defy everything that it is to be a human. Congratulations, AJ. Wonderful, AJ. Some big news coming out of the NFL. The Combine is now up for bid after the 2023 one will become, what,

the 37th year that the Combine has been in Indianapolis, Indiana. Let me tell you why I think this is a bad idea, aside from the fact that we directly benefit from it and our friends benefit from it and restaurants that we are close to benefit from it. Indianapolis is literally built to host things like the combine. Now, I understand the NFL wants to make more money and that the publicness of the draft, whether it was in Nashville or Cleveland or Dallas or whatever,

makes it this, you know, maybe something that they want an allure, a little bit of, oh, we can do this with the combine as well. Completely different operations. Okay, the combine is not a celebration situation. It's an evaluation situation. The people that are coming are the diehard football nerds, not the people that are just here to celebrate their team getting a new good player. I think leaving Indianapolis will ultimately be one that a lot of people in the NFL,

whether it's the coaches, the front office, the scouts, and everything like that, with their convenience of every restaurant basically saying, hey, you can do whatever. There's a certain group of coaches that meet in this back room of this restaurant that has been shut down and three chefs are there for them that night because they know they're going to be there. It's just like at this point with everything in walking distance in Indianapolis, it's an NFL spring break, and it just seems like the city embraces it and loves it. Even after 30-some years or whatever it's been, they're going to move it. Somebody will bid for it, and I know that it just will not live up to what Indianapolis is. This place is literally built for it.

You can walk from a tunnel from the stadium into the convention center. From that, you can get into a tunnel that leads you to like five steak houses that are just beautiful, the hotel you're sleeping in, and everything like that. It's built to host events. It's built for the combine, and they're going to move it, which is a shame for the community, for the city, but also, I think, for the scouts and everybody. They're going to hate it wherever it goes next. Yeah, and where can it go?

It has to go somewhere where they have a dome because they're not going to have them run outside and do everything so dallas jerry jerry allegedly was building this entire thing up for the combine is what one person wrote and said he has the medical facilities in one place where you can get tested he has the field in one place there's a hotel right near. I guess there's restaurants right across the street. So he literally might have just built Indianapolis in this little area, which is a brilliant move because the Dallas Cowboys bus that moves throughout Indianapolis that Jerry is on on those nights of the combine where you know exactly what club the Dallas Cowboys front office and Jerry

are in. Then they leave the club, go back on the bus, drive a half block down the road to the next bar or club. They get back off the bus. You see Dean Blandino, the director of officials, getting off the bus in Indianapolis. It's just like if Jerry was like, you know, that time we have in Indianapolis every year is the fucking best, isn't it? There's no way for us to profit off it, though. The city does. These restaurants that shut down everything to make us happy.

And this town basically doesn't let anybody else in it without permission of the NFL. How do we make money off of that, though? Oh, fuck it. I'll build my own. And he did. It sounds like he did. And he's going to bid for it. And I assume he's going to do it. And it's going to be fantastic. But Indianapolis

has loved, I think, hosting the combine for a long time. Aside from Dallas, is it all the new stadiums? Like, you know, LA, Vegas? The other favorites that I read were Vegas and LA. Yeah, but the people that are given the favorites or whatever, it's all about proximity. Everything is going to be about proximity.

That's what everything is going to be. So in this won't be made in the mind, but the fact that across the street, Jerry has like five restaurants, six restaurants that have been built up in an area as well. I think that's a big part of it because what people talk about with combine it's before the tampering period for free agency, it's where a lot of agents and teams get a lot of business done and businesses done. And that's why, by the way, restaurants basically have to be pretty much completely shut down unless you're invited by the NFL. Indianapolis does that. Indianapolis loves being a part of that whole thing. That's where all free agency stuff happens before free agency officially opens because all the agents go there. The team, like that's where so much work gets done that is not talked about hundreds of millions of dollars of deals have been negotiated in either

prime down here or kilroy's or any of these other bars we have downtown and by the way the restaurants and the people that work there they know that it's like hey okay you guys need to do your shit go ahead and do it we'll shut it down we'll We'll bring in more chefs, more food, more whatever you need. It's like I just think that Indianapolis is one of the only cities that if the combine was to leave, like, for instance, if they do it in Dallas, Dallas will love it. But if it was to leave, I don't think Dallas would be, like, upset. They'd be like, oh, that's kind of how it goes. I think Indianapolis would be very bummed if the combine left

because I think there's a lot of pride taken in it, like how the whole thing is handled. A great pub for the city, too. A great pub the whole week. Like, it's on TV. They're talking about Indianapolis. They're showing shots from outside, from downtown. Like, it's really big, I feel like, for everything. And it showcases on a national level with the NFL

what Indianapolis is, which is a host city. Like, the conventions that come through here, every convention comes through here, and there's just thousands and thousands of people that fly into Indianapolis for the convention. They stay in an area. Their meetings are in one area, and they just walk around. And all the bars are like, hey, welcome to town. Where are you from?

Blah, blah. It's built for that type of thing. Now, it sounds like Jerry created a very similar thing. Yeah, exactly. He owns the entire thing. Will the bids be public? Can we know how much they will bid? So Nashville has come out and said that their city planning people are going to put together a bid.

Dallas is going to put together a bid. Vegas said that. What's the range? What do you think the range is that they will bid? I have no idea. I met the people that put the Super Bowl presentation together for Indianapolis, and that's a full thing, and obviously there's money involved and by the way look back at Super Bowls ask everybody who the greatest host was Indianapolis we got

very lucky with the weather I have no idea how that happened shout out to Jim Ursa and the football gods having a good relationship and it being like 60 degrees in February and sunny and clear skies, like perfect almost. Ask people who was the best Super Bowl host city, though. This city crushed it. Final Four crushed it. Every convention crushes it. Combine crushed it.

Indianapolis, 500. 300,000 to 500,000 people coming into town. Crushed it. I think that is something that I wanted to say for the people of Indianapolis, although in the long run it's not going to matter because dollars will win this whole thing, and they'll try to make it a spectacle everywhere. Are these five- to ten-year bids, or is this just like the Super Bowl? Every year they were going to renew and do a different place for the combine.

I don't know. That's interesting. Coaches and scouts and stuff, they want it to be a longer period. They don't want to learn a new thing. Yes, exactly. The NFL would want one-year deals because they can just keep re-upping and re-upping for more money. Yeah, because you become a free agent every year. All of a sudden, the combine becomes a free agent

every year. And I don't know how long are their Under Armour deal or who they got now. They got New Era, I think. New Era is the deal. How long is that deal for? What if they were just negotiating one-year deals with brand, location, everything.

They become free agents every single night. If they wanted to, they could. Like the TV deals? Imagine if they were doing the TV deals two, three-year increments. That would be ridiculous. Don't you feel like those things have two or three years worth of negotiations involved in those deals?

Pro Football Talk's Mike Floria reported that the nfl is looking into expand its rights or something like that i immediately uh got the link read it and i was like can we get how much do i got to pay to get some money can i get a couple minutes of highlights a week how much do i got to pay i think they're going to start opening up more for more potential digital bidders after amazon has gotten in and you know i think they're going to be trying to entice apple google uh many other maybe even netflix gets involved in it i mean who knows who's going to get in there like packages of games or you buy highlights or clips or how's it work well for me i would just want to buy a couple minutes uh clips a couple plays every single week from the prime time no no i just think from the weekend. They should put them up. What if they put them up

and you could bid on these clips that you want? Yeah, like an NFT type thing. But because I would, if we got four plays, I think that would make our show, four plays from the entire weekend, I think that would make our entire show much better. You could break down the play, whether it comes from like a,

hey, this is what they're thinking type thing where we can have the actual guest on. We can do a top four from the weekend, highlight plays, dumbass plays. Like I think, and that's only what, if you actually do the math, like a minute and a half, two minutes worth of plays there. Most. But I don't know how much that's going to charge. And if they even have that as an appetizer.

Probably like 400 million for four plays a week. Yeah, hey, 400 mil a year. That's what I'm saying though. That's what I'm saying. How do I get in that conversation? And just give me the price so I can go try to find that money by the way because i feel like there are some people who would potentially want to back us in getting that you know what i mean like hey i need 50 million dollars because then we'll get two three minutes of plays every single

week for the next three years i feel like there are some companies we could potentially go to and say hey if we get this this is what i think happens and it's like let's do it that'd be dope like with the touchdown celebrations too i feel like those have gone huge like one of those a week too like there's so many different things you could do with those rights or whatever but there's so many billions being uh being invested by networks to get all the rights in the pro in everything for that you know and at the beginning of every nfl thing it says any remake or blah blah blah will be persecuted to the thing and it's the nf nfl films basically so the nfl films have to okay everything too they we we think you can portray our league in this light you know what i mean like we we think you could because i did a um

what was that thing who was it for it was It was virtual reality. It was in Cincinnati. IBM. It was at IBM? Yeah. 3D game thing, right? I remember, yeah, I was going to do one of those. Well, it was terrible. So I agreed to do one because the person that was creating it talked about how the future, this could be how the game, and we want you to call the game, basically.

And I'm like, awesome. I'm getting a chance to call a Thursday night football football game in 3d i was like how do i promote it they're like we'll get to that day of i was like cool cool this is gonna be awesome day of i'm told basically yeah there's no promoting it this is just a record we're trying to show the nfl what we can do actually the nfl film is going to be here uh judging us and grading us or whatever the entire time to basically give us the okay or not. So I sat in a horse trailer outside of the stadium alongside the play-by-play person for the 3D or the virtual reality game. And we did two and a half minutes of highlights afterwards that we couldn't even see. And we talked on the field after the game ended.

And we sat in that trailer for four and a half hours while Evan Fox got drunk in the stands with his friends. Jesus! That's what I did, yeah. Did you wear like 3d were you wearing something i thought people could like they could watch the game like they're sitting in the front row or something that is what it's supposed to be yeah but at this particular time the uh it was houston and cincinnati thursday night game we could probably tell you the exact year at this time we just sat in this horse trailer that had all the shots and it was a fisheye lens basically from very close and all these places so we were at the front row the cameras were at the front row in front of it but it was still like you had to you know it was i don't know it was uh it was fascinating i thought i was calling a game i i spoke for 45 50 seconds but the nfl films guy

and i got along very well he's still there he He was one of Steve Sable's original directors, producers. He and I, I don't think, wanted to squeeze into this horse trailer for the entire time. So he and I started talking. We went over to a tailgate across the street, ate some food in the tailgate section, had a great time, then came back, sat outside, did our two, three minute thing. But I think he and others at the NFL Films, whenever you're pitching to cover the nfl i think they have to give it like uh we can do that we we don't know if we want the game to be like this if that makes sense so you did you call the whole game like you were the color commentator two minutes of highlights at the end not i just sat there for four and a half hours yeah yeah

well that was like a big audition a big screen test from that company to see if they could do that like for other games. Yes. It was an audition for them, for the NFL films, for them to be the virtual reality or whatever VR for the NFL going forward, if that makes sense. Like for the Oculus. Like they do it with the NBA. And the MLB. And the MLB. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So but it wasn't we didn't call the game we just called like the four best shots that they got of the day and i wasn't the play-by-play guy i was literally just like a uh the color they're

making like a are they making like a sizzle reel to show the league it sounds like bingo and then the guy from nfl films i think he was just supposed to sit and watch. Like if this was, you know, how duplicable is this? Is this going to be the level? Who's doing it? So I think there's a full process to getting the okay for the rights. I think you have to like prove that you're not going to fuck over the game because this is the NFL. You know what I mean? I wonder if that segment won a sports Emmy.

It didn't. I'll tell you it did not. Who was your play-by-play guy? I still don't know who he was oh no he was a nice guy he was a very nice guy he was a very very nice guy good connection with the nf nfl films guy too so it seems to be you know he gave his card i sent him an email one time that guy he was fine i don't remember i know i know it didn't lead to a conversation come on i know it did not lead to a further conversation he was a nice guy but it's not like I'm bugging him. I think he was literally around Steve Sable. Like this guy,

potentially his longest tenured employee at the NFL films. He was cool. God love football. Yeah. Love everything about it. But those NFL films folks, the way they view the NFL is awesome. It's what you need from the group of people that are going to broadcast the game for hundreds of years. The NFL films is like the 33rd owner in the NFL. They are, it's a big deal what they do. And I think they're, I mean, the WWE editors can make things unbelievable, but NFL films, they should win awards, I think, every single year. Like all the mic'd up segments, the way the game's covered, everything like that. They crush it. Now, are we going to innovate a little bit, too?

That's what I would, you know, I know the Boogermobile probably had to get okayed and some other things. That's what they were trying. That's what they were trying with the 3D situation. Yeah, they're trying to innovate a little bit, but I got good faith in the NFL films people. They make everything feel big. I feel like they make it feel like it's a big deal. You know how you watch some things on TV if it's poor production or whatever it is. Man, this is like a really big game, but it doesn't feel that way.

NFL films makes everything feel big. All right, let's get to a break. And on the other side, we'll answer some phone calls, and then we're legit done. What about that international guest? Nah, he's with his son. It was Nigel, your soccer guy? Yeah. I was hoping to have him on, too.

He's tough to book, that guy. Yeah. He's slippery. He's hanging out with, you know. He loves his Stellas, by the way. Mr. and Mrs. Heineken. He's always boozed up. His schedule is gelatinous. Is this Foxy's dad?

No. Maybe. No, no, no, no, no. I think Nigel and Mr. Fox would love each other a lot. I think my dad hasn't watched a thing of soccer in his entire life. Yeah. But Nigel will be able to say, what time is it?

Make three crack open a beer like you do every day of your life. Let's talk about it. Amen. Amen. All right, let's get to a break. We're back on the other side. Today's sponsor is public.com and investing app where you can buy stocks,
