Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, it is Thursday, July 22nd. Can't thank you enough for choosing to listen to this show. I think today's conversation is a deep, deep, deep good one. AJ Hawk stops by, we dive into everything happening in the world. A little bit of Olympics talk, huh? You don't cover basically everything. Let's get to it. Today's sports show is a good one.
Starting point is 00:00:24 Lamar Jackson allegedly about to get 40 to 45 million a year the one-time mvp and now playoff game winning quarterback for the baltimore ravens in a division that's going to be very tough for at least the foreseeable future with what's going on in cleveland and potentially in cincinnati And what's going on with Pittsburgh? Is Ben Roethlisberger a new Ben Roethlisberger, not a new Ben Roethlisberger? We'll talk about that. We've got conflicting reports on what Ben Roethlisberger has been up to. We'll dive into that.
Starting point is 00:00:55 But Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens changed the game completely because Lamar Jackson is a player that changes the way you view football. This dude is electrifying. He's a fucking video game on the field. That has come into question a couple different times. He was called a running back playing quarterback by numerous people, so much so that after a game that he dominated and threw like three touchdowns or four touchdowns,
Starting point is 00:01:20 he got a game ball. And actually Harbaugh said not bad for a running back, and he actually did the full thing there was an offensive coordinator that thought he had to throw the ball more and more and more in his career because he wanted to prove that Lamar Jackson was an incredible thrower of the football and they wanted to build up the respect and credibility I think not just on the other defenses looking at film going forward but in the entire NFL world I think he Lamar and the offensive
Starting point is 00:01:45 coordinator wanted to prove to the world that he was a better ball thrower if he was just to be a pocket quarterback than anybody else as well. They learned that that was not the right option because what he does better than everybody on earth is make a play. He's a guy that can turn nothing into something. He's made absolute freak athletes look like elementary amateur athletes with the things he's been able to do. He's only going to get better, everybody's thinking. The offense is only going to buy into the system more. He's a one-time pro bowler, one-time all-pro. He's been an MVP before. He's got a playoff win, and I don't think he's slowing down anytime soon. $40 to $45 million per year is
Starting point is 00:02:22 a lot of money to invest in somebody. We saw some bad contracts in the past, but we've also seen a lot of great contracts as of recent late. If you look at Patrick Mahomes' contract, they got him for a half a billion dollars over 10 years. That's $50 million a year if you just do some easy math there. But that money has been manipulated and moved where they're able to play with it with the salary cap so let's hope that Lamar Jackson in Baltimore if you're a Baltimore Ravens fan
Starting point is 00:02:50 will do the same exact thing so that you can continue to bring in pieces around Lamar Jackson they were trying to get active in free agency this past offseason at the wide receiver position because Hollywood Brown last year their one star wide receiver that they have aside from great tight ends, he came out and said, hey, they don't ever use me out here. Lamar said, they know what we're doing. Marquis said, it stinks basically in the middle of the whole thing. And they would go on to win a playoff game. They weren't happy.
Starting point is 00:03:19 They got to be able to figure out how to continue to build that roster. And if they won a Super Bowl with Lamar Jackson, I don't think anybody would be surprised. Of course, the guy's the best player of all time. But there is a lot of people out there that do not think Lamar Jackson's good at football. And that's why we want Sohamsky on the Baltimore Ravens social media team for putting out that wobbly-ass pass to Sammy Watkins, who is now a member of the Baltimore Ravens,
Starting point is 00:03:46 because it literally fed to all the critics of Lamar Jackson that he's not the best ball thrower, even though all of his stats basically say he is. I mean, that is just something that some people will not believe. They refuse to do so. Baltimore loves him, and I can't wait to see this thing work out, how they structure the contract, how they build the roster. In a very difficult division.
Starting point is 00:04:10 And there might be, you know, an expansion of games, which means you've got to stay healthy. And the style of play that the Ravens played, not just Lamar, is a wear and tear one. There's a lot of bodies hitting bodies, longer season. But they're probably going to expand the playoffs. If they get in and get hot, they could win. I mean, it's a beautiful thing. Congrats to Lamar Jackson.
Starting point is 00:04:30 It was also said next year we're going back to that basketball court and having more fun. Everybody can fuck off. I like that. Do what you got to do, man. Hopefully everybody stays healthy, and I hope the Baltimore Ravens continue to win games in the Lamar Jackson era. Big Ben Roethlisberger, we alluded to that earlier.
Starting point is 00:04:45 There's a lot of conversation to be had about him. There are some more conversations about Aaron Rodgers, obviously, because we have no idea what the fuck the MVP of last season is doing this upcoming season for the team that was in the NFC Championship the last two years in a row. Are they potentially completely out of the entire discussion? If that guy can't figure it out with the team that he's currently employed by, yes.
Starting point is 00:05:08 So we have to talk about that a little bit. I think we have a couple of surprise guests. Maybe I'm sending out texts. It's the first time we've really paid real money for a booking people. And this is also the first couple of days we've had zero guests book. Okay. It's been a lot of fun. Yeah. We're having fun here. That feeling out period, you know? Of course. I think what happens is you see our show is a tough sell, I think for a lot of fun. Yeah, absolutely. We're having fun here. That feeling out period, you know? Of course. I think what happens is, you see, our show is a tough sell, I think, for a lot of people, which makes no sense. I think we put over everybody that comes on. Yeah, absolutely. People come on, I think, good experience.
Starting point is 00:05:34 With the exception of maybe Adam Cole, I can't think of anyone who would have anything bad to say about when they came on the show. It's always fun. That fucking scumbag. Maybe he's the one who's out there saying, oh, McAfee's show stinks. You don't want to go on that. He probably is. Burners and stuff like that. He's on that damn Twitch
Starting point is 00:05:51 chugs or whatever. He's on that Twitch probably just sending out bird calls to everybody. Don't go on the show if you never heard of him. And he sends probably clips of I mean, I was accosting him. Probably send what I said to Zito the other day. Look, this is probably what's happening so now I apologize once again by the way
Starting point is 00:06:08 Zito and I apologize to everybody I think the show is suffering from a week I guess it's impossible to book for this show is what I'm learning so I'm going to have to continue to wake up every morning and just send hopes and prayer text messages out and it's kind of a fun game you know
Starting point is 00:06:22 I know you really enjoy it it's tough for me to, you know? Is it? I know you really enjoy it. It's a fun game. I don't know. You know, it's tough for me to, like, you know, first of all, interrupt somebody's day. I don't like doing it. I don't like feeling like a burden. Like, hey, I don't like being a burden in the people's life. So when a text message from me shows up, I want people to know, like, hey, this is going to be a good.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Here we go. This is a good thing. Now it's turning into, into hey if you're bored at all yeah yeah if you're bored at all would love to come in some of these people i've never met personally right so some of these people i've never met strictly over over the facetime not no not even yeah either over the facetime or never never really just kind of like a hey don't know if you hey old buddy gave me your information didn't know that whole it is a terrible thing i hate every single moment of it and i've gotten
Starting point is 00:07:11 you know a couple people that have been very nice to rap report by the way sure there's a guy who i send a text and he's going to be like yeah let's make it work man i got some shit going on but let's make it work the other people that i send texts to you have seen around darius obviously or schlovsky will stop sure but there's not a lot of people that i like to keep around i mean i have a pretty tight little circle that i could text like there's big name humans that i have that there's no way in hell i'm wasting the text message to them on saying hey you won't come i'd rather be like hey how's it going hope going? Hope life is good. Okay, see you later. Because all these people just have people asking shit from them. Exactly, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Right? Like all these people have shit just asked. And I don't want to be another person that's like, hey, yeah, you got 7,000 other things that you could potentially be doing with your time. That would be better for the community, society, and you probably. But I was wondering, huh? Going to need you to hop on. 15, 20 minutes. See, that's it. 15, 20 minutes. Huh? We need you to hop on 15 20 minutes that's it 15 20 minutes huh need you
Starting point is 00:08:07 it's tough i haven't been able to really piece those text messages together and hit send at the same damn time especially if i've gotten somebody's information from somebody else yeah that i've never because you know the big thing now is group texts yeah sure so it'll go into a group text and then you're supposed to say into the group text, hey, I'll hit you privately. Is that all right? And then they're supposed to be like, I think there's like this entire process now that's happening. So I think I'm kind of easing into it. But we are having troubles.
Starting point is 00:08:34 And to be honest, it's 100% my fault for the effort. It is 100% my fault. We are suffering from it. That's on my side. But we have nobody fucking booked for the show except for a college football national champion what okay a super bowl champion who and a future olympian future olympian maybe yeah sure it's possible we have no idea what he's gonna pick up a guy who's here every day oh let's go yeah i mean he wasn't here a lot of those days true but then he was here here uh-huh so that
Starting point is 00:09:03 makes up for everything literally because you know he traveled out of the attic that he currently lives in that we are a little bit worried about because maybe we should get a little bit better set instead of just sitting in a 200 degree attic yeah with terrible internet terrible worst aj you made 150 million dollars in your playing before you even played yeah before you even played in the nfl you made 100 million dollars you can afford more than a $35 router. Can we please get a villa with Wi-Fi? Yeah, wake up, Hawk. I think he owns an entire portion of Ohio, though.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Oh, yeah. A lot of land. Yeah. I don't know what the square footage on his house is, but I guess it's probably north of 20,000. 30, I think. I think so. That's not even like the little gazebo pool house he's got in the backyard as well. And he chooses every time to come on and join us in the worst part of that.
Starting point is 00:09:48 Yeah, the one with the least amount of internet in his entire house is where he decided to set up his studio. And whenever we say things like this, it isn't out of hate for AJ because we love AJ. It's just this is a compliment to show his humility. He went back to Ohio. He said, listen, I was born in Ohio. I went to high school in Ohio. I went to college in Ohio. I ended my career in Ohio.
Starting point is 00:10:13 I'm going to die in Ohio. They're going to bury me in Ohio. I want people to know that I can still FaceTime from a tiny little attic in my 35,000 square foot villa. That's what I'm talking about, AJ. He'll be on today. That's what makes Hawk Hawk. That's what makes the Hawk Hawk.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Yeah. If we had any friends that were Olympians, this would be a good time. Perfect time. The Olympics are popping off tomorrow. Well, yeah. Now, there's a little maybe. A lot of at-touchment at Boston Corner. A couple non-confident faces.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Is that real? Well, I just saw that tokyo has their highest surge in positive covid cases like that it's been in like six months so i believe covid is a real issue over there and now you know people are dropping out they're getting rid of the guy who did the opening ceremonies i just i wouldn't be surprised yeah covered for the guy who opened ceremony oh no he made uh you just snuck that one in there. Yeah. Well, I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:11:07 When it's all crumbling, it's all crumbling. But I wouldn't be surprised if... What did the opening ceremony guy do? Well, he made a couple insensitive remarks about the Holocaust in a comedy show in 1998. Someone found a tape of it, and they said, fuck this guy. Get him out of here. We don't want... Whoa.
Starting point is 00:11:23 See, that's an interesting thing because the Olympics is, and I think this has been my take this entire time. I mind, there ain't much shit that I really like, okay? I mean, we all know this. We all know that I didn't really watch any movies or anything growing up. I literally had not seen a Disney movie until, I think, a couple years ago when i watched one it's it's not my it wasn't my i just kicked balls against the side of my house because i had
Starting point is 00:11:49 so much add and i literally was just out in the streets in the backyards and friends that's literally all i did my entire childhood and practice soccer everywhere and travel and you get it the olympics though was something that i held in such high i don't know if everybody else was and i think it was because in soccer that's what we were kind of desired that was the goal that was the goal like hey let's get to the u.s that was the team i went and watched the u.s men's team in dc it was one of like the first ever events i ever went to with my dad i think my brother went some other people it was it was just like really cool like that was the the the soccer dream like okay didn't want to become rich until i got a little bit older and i realized uh like okay rich being wealthy is literally all i'm really looking for at this point however we get to that we will
Starting point is 00:12:35 get there but soccer was the olympic was the goal now what it has become here now and i guess this is every big event the world cup every worldwide big event, it seems like. There's some sort of, every decision that is made, you're thinking somebody's corrupted making the decision. It's like we've gotten jaded for almost everything. So anything the Olympics does, any country they pick, we all go, oh, what happened? What happened? How the fuck did they secure the bid? Oh, is that?
Starting point is 00:13:05 Right. Isn't that fascinating what they're choosing to look at and choosing not to look at? Okay, so there's a potential couple of dictators that have teams that are playing in there. Kerry Richardson, though, hey, don't fucking even think about that OG kush. You hear me? Nope, not a chance. Uh-uh. We'll be doing that.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Okay, so that is, we kind of got to that point, but then once we start seeing like, okay, every other event that has happened has been able to have fans. The Olympics can't have fans. Nope. Okay, so there's a lot different. People are traveling in from all over the world, and I understand there's different things from there, but that's the first thing. Then it's like the person that set up the head of the committee of setting up the whole thing goes like, hey, we might cancel this thing. Last minute. And Tokyo keeps upping the danger.
Starting point is 00:13:50 We don't care about the Olympics. We're worried about what the fuck's going on with us right now. Is it COVID-20 or is this 19 still? Is this the Delta strand? I believe it's still 19, just a different strand. Okay, so that thing is growing over there. And they're like, we don't care about that. And then now you see the cardboard box beds.
Starting point is 00:14:06 And then you have to, though, think that somewhere in there, there is so much good that comes from the Olympics. You get a chance to see literally people you have never heard of do sports you have never seen before from all over the world. You're getting a chance to actually say hey this person is the best in the world in this particular thing this is cool it's a great celebration bringing everybody together and if you're representing it i think we still hold on to the hope that those people will be somebody that the whole world loves so whenever something like this is found it's like okay this is not the right guy but that's's why they put The Rock. Okay. The Rock. The Rock.
Starting point is 00:14:46 All right. Hey, Dewey Johnson. Dwayne Johnson. DJ. The Rock. The President. 2032. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:56 He's fucking walking and cutting a promo to welcome the whole world to the Olympics. Hell yeah. It's in like a hangar. It looks like he's walking in a hangar and he's like you what you're about to watch the hardest workers in the room so i mean they got the rock is that for the whole world or just for america i'm guessing it's just for us but no i think the world might be for the whole world the world watches that and they get juiced even if it
Starting point is 00:15:20 is for just the usa they don't care so there's streams to every country over there is there one big stream how do they sell the rights i'm not sure i don't know yeah i'm sure it's different in every single country but i know china does love dewey johnson so i'm guessing it is there is a good chance that this was seen over there as well okay so see that's that's one country all right that's anything there is a lot of questions yeah a lot of bullshit going on inside those borders a lot of questions going A lot of bullshit going on inside those borders. A lot of questions going on there. But every other country, too. Is there a rights that is paid? I always thought that NBC or whatever paid for the rights.
Starting point is 00:15:56 Is that globally? I don't think so because I assume in England it's on BBC or whatever. Because they don't have NBC. That's so amateur of me to even think that. Well. They don't give a fuck about Mike Tirico. No, they don't. Do they?
Starting point is 00:16:12 Do they? Is Mike Tirico global? I don't know. I don't know if Tirico's global. I know Al Michaels. I'm pretty sure Michaels is global, but he might be done. And Bob Costas. I know everyone loved him, too.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Hey, because the specials of the Olympics become better than the Olympics. Yeah, yeah. This is, you watch some of the things, but then the stories that come out, the interviews and everything that gets put together, it's a massive production down there. Huge. They have entire, I guess, I saw Chris Collinsworth kid, Jack. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Jack Collinsworth is over there. Cut a little promo on the rooftop of a building in Tokyo. He cut a promo about how he might stay in Tokyo. Really? Yeah, he said he might stay in Tokyo with how beautiful it is. Loves it that much. The video that was the cell phone that was shooting that thing, there was like a river and there was an entire,
Starting point is 00:16:57 that was not Tokyo I saw. I was in there. You were in a different spot. I should have got out a little bit. I guess if you get out and look back in, it is pretty beautiful. I think I was in there. You were in a different spot. I should have got out a little bit. I guess if you get out and look back in, it is pretty beautiful. I think I was in there. You know what I mean? Tokyo is an interesting city.
Starting point is 00:17:10 It's beautiful because of the history and everything like that. But it is a very vastly different existence over there than over here. I mean, it is the cleanest. The cleanliness, yeah. Shibuya. I think Shibuya is an intersection over there than over here. I mean, it is the cleanest. I think Shibuya is an intersection over there, and it's the most busy intersection in the world, I believe. It's a five-way. It kind of is like Times Square. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:37 I've seen a photo of that before. It was in one of the Fast and Furious. I think Tokyo Drift was in there, I believe. I'm not sure what Vin did through there, but I'm sure it was fucking badass. He was moving. Hey, make sure you get those DVDs for sale, dude. That's right. He was flying through there.
Starting point is 00:17:50 But it was every time, because I think there's a train station there as well. Every time the walk sign turned to the glow of the walk, as opposed to it, it's like 2,000 people would walk every single time each one of them and we almost got trapped up in a storm yeah because um mike adams pops he owed the qual three public push-ups all right so we weren't betting money over there because uh you you only get so much of their currency so it's like we're not going to be it's we can't be betting money so we were betting public push-ups and uh mike adams almost got killed doing a public push-up in Shibuya. In a crosswalk intersection there.
Starting point is 00:18:30 It was either, was it DeQual or Mike? I think it was Mike because I remember DeQual pointing at him and counting. And it was, they were not waiting for us to get off. As soon as that thing went to stop walk and then go walk, it was an entire fleet of people. I mean, it was a scene. It was awesome. We definitely, me mostly, looked like the American stooges walking around there. Everybody was very nice to us, though.
Starting point is 00:18:55 They didn't love us, I guess. We were told that we were not supposed to go to some places because we were Americans. We were told that. Now, did we pop by a couple of those places that we were americans like we were we were told that now did we pop by a couple of those places that we were told maybe and were we told at the place by people that spoke english like hey you guys should watch yourself a little bit here yes but other than that we had a great time we were in a club that we're not we were told we were not supposed to be in a great time beautiful city we were in a club that we're not we were told we're not supposed to be in and uh we were we were larger than everybody else in there of course and there
Starting point is 00:19:29 was glow sticks and there was it was a foam there was a foam party going nice and we were having a i mean we were having a time and this was very much like in the heart of where we were not supposed to be they said like this area is not great for americans or whatever so we were getting after i mean we were having a time and a guy came in in full baseball uniform wow that came in a full baseball uniform into the club they love baseball i guess in in japan and uh we got to a point in the club where uh fake baseball player uh was throwing pitches and uh to quote jackson with the uh with the uh like the the glow stick thing there. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Yeah, hits, boom, bomb. Okay, circle of people around. Full club. Kind of circle of people around. Home run, back flip, baseball player, duck's head. Everybody else goes crazy because he runs the bases. Yeah, so I guess there's probably a little bit more of a potential reputation of a dislike because our experience was a very Positive one but Tokyo is a vastly different
Starting point is 00:20:31 Operating lifestyle than it is here and I'm excited We're gonna get a chance probably to see a lot of that right because they kind of hope they dive into the city that they're normally In there's normally like pieces and things like that done. So I think this would be pretty fun Maybe we'll find the bar that Chuck Pagano kicked down the door of. Oh, yeah? It was unbelievable. Chuck's not going to be happy about this.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Mentioning that. He's retired now. Still got a warrant out for his arrest. He's retired now. He didn't kick down. I mean, this door was not put on well. It was down in a basement. And we were told to go to this place. Okay. So we were told to go to this place.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Okay. Okay, so we were told to go to this place to meet somebody we had seen earlier at an event. Like, hey, got some friends. Stop by here. See us there. And we went to what we thought it was. And it turns out we were just, I think, like one half block off. Over?
Starting point is 00:21:22 Yeah. Yeah, and the door, he went to open it. He didn't kick it down he went to open it and it just fell oh wow okay we looked in there and uh everybody gave us some bright eyes you know and we're like all right we're gonna get the hell out of it and chuck turns around and goes get out it was a tight little it was like a tight little staircase basically where so we were all stacked up behind each other and the door opens and we all go what and like i poke i'm like third back and i poke my head around and chuck
Starting point is 00:21:50 just goes get get listen we gotta go we gotta get out of here so i think he lifted the door back up kind of leaned it on there and we just got out of there yeah it was time for us to head home at that point but tokyo is beautiful city i just hope the just hope the Olympics are cool and unifying and fun to celebrate because it's so much bullshit right now that we're dealing with. And we're only, what, less than, I guess games already happen. We're already in the Olympic Games. The World Games, sorry. We're already in the World Games.
Starting point is 00:22:19 And by the way, that's another thing about the Olympics I think I hate. I can't even really say that. Why? There's a chance we get taken down. You've it the world games oh okay because that's bullshit but corrupt our media thought as soon as we hear the world games we think what corrupt decisions exactly especially when you you know you're reading stuff about some of the paralympians and they're not even going anymore because uh they won't fucking help him out. This was outrageous. I didn't know that fully.
Starting point is 00:22:50 I think I kind of had an understanding, but I don't think I fully knew. The Paralympics happened at the same time as the Olympics? I did not know that either. Okay, so I kind of, because I think every Olympics, there is a Paralympic story that I latch onto, where I'm like, oh, this is really cool. And I think, then I think time passes and I go, okay, did they just air the video during the Olympics because it was, or is it actually, I think it's actually happening at the same
Starting point is 00:23:15 time as the Olympics, right? I mean, that would make sense. Is that what we're learning now? I think so. Right. I mean, she said she was going to go over there. Okay. So let's go to the post so that we're not. Becca Myers tweeted out that she's heartbroken to share that I'm withdrawing from the Tokyo Paralympic Games.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Okay, so that would make us think. It is in Tokyo. It is. Unless it's two different parts of Tokyo. Right, which it could be. Tokyo's a big city. Yeah. Massive.
Starting point is 00:23:39 There's like a castle or something in the middle. Really? I think. Like the pinnacle of the. I remember. I might have been boozed up a little bit. I might have been a little bit boozed up sure but i remember walking and seeing like a castle and i was like is this like the what what is this the white house yeah oh that would be unbelievable and i forget what the answer was given and i just
Starting point is 00:23:58 kind of walked away but i have the image in my head right now and there's like the road actually split at the castle wow if somebody If somebody could figure that out. So everything was going right towards the castle. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. It looked like a castle, but I don't think it was a castle.
Starting point is 00:24:12 It might have been. Bowser's Castle? Tokyo was huge. It didn't look like Bowser's Castle, but whenever you got to run that shit on the Mario Kart, you got no shot. No way.
Starting point is 00:24:22 That thing is burning down. The lava? Yeah, you got no shot. You're going to do one burning down. The lava? Yeah, you got no shot. You're going to do one little drift ski, and guess what? Burn it down. You're out. And then they're going to do the little lifty thing, and it's going to be a slow thing. It's going to be in a...
Starting point is 00:24:33 Is that in Tokyo? Yeah, it's called the Nagoya Castle, located in central Japan. I typed in Japan and... Is that the one? That was the first that popped up is that the one the one i was looking at was white but oh they're actually there's another one too there's a white one there are castles in japan here we go now okay so now we know checking out the boxes i appreciate that but the paralympics thing back to becca myers here uh the usopc so is that the united states olympic performance committee must be for playing paralympic would that be in there
Starting point is 00:25:14 us united states olympic and paralympic committee okay all right usopc wait obviously paralympic was in there has repeatedly denied my reasonable and essential accommodation because of my disability, leaving me no choice. Full statement below. I've had to make the gut-wrenching decision to withdraw from the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. I'm angry. I'm disappointed. But most of all, I'm sad to not be representing my country.
Starting point is 00:25:42 The USOPC has denied a reasonable and essential accommodation for me as a deaf-blind athlete to be able to compete in Tokyo, telling me repeatedly that I do not need a personal care assistant who I trust because there will be a single personal care assistant on staff that is available to assist me and 33 other Paralympic swimmers, nine of whom are also visually impaired. The USOPC has approved me having a trusted PCA, my mom, at all international meets since 2017, but this time it's different. With COVID, there are new safety measures and limits of non-essential staff in place.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Rightfully so, but a trusted PCA is essential for me to compete. I mean, doesn't that seem just pretty natural? That's pretty reasonable. I do. The way she led that off, we're like, okay, she's kind of leading here saying this is pretty reasonable and essential. And then she's like, let me explain to you exactly why I'm feeling that way. Can we not get a PCA that she knows?
Starting point is 00:26:41 What do we do? Why is this? This is what I'm talking about, though. When it comes to everything we're hearing about these Olympics are like, why are the Olympics doing do? Why is this happening? This is what I'm talking about, though. When it comes to everything we're hearing about these Olympics, are like, why are the Olympics doing it? Why is this happening? And this is another one. Can we not get Becca Myers, a goddamn PCA, and let her mom in there? Well, and COVID's a very easy scapegoat to follow because of COVID.
Starting point is 00:26:58 We can't do that. But for someone who is blind and deaf, I'm assuming you want someone you're comfortable around and that you trust so you don't just have some random person leading you around in tokyo i and this is going to sound um very ignorant and i apologize for that is there a lot of blind and deaf people out there i don't know and she said there's nine visually impaired people just in that just in the swimming. Yeah, visually impaired.
Starting point is 00:27:27 But is it blind and deaf? That is like, is that not what? I would guess it's not that common. But if it means anything, 0.2% of the world's population. That's what popped up right away. Deaf and blind. 0.2%. That's a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:27:42 Which is a lot of people. Yeah, that's a lot of people. So this goes back to the how if you can't see or hear anything how do you that's unbelievable yeah helen keller is one of the craziest stories of all time well that's what i'm this is like 0.2 obviously as well but so what would make the is helen this is a helen keller situation right is that what was different with helen keller anything blind and deaf right the same thing. She wasn't swimming in the Olympics. I know that.
Starting point is 00:28:07 So how come we're not? That's what I'm saying. This is fucking unbelievable. It really is. And now a blind and deaf person cannot compete in the Paralympic celebration basically of just accomplishing things that nobody ever thought anybody could accomplish,
Starting point is 00:28:26 and the world celebration of that. Blind and deaf, Becca Myers won't compete because they won't let her mom be around her. What are we doing? Figure it out. Get it. What are we doing? That's an unbelievable story. It really is.
Starting point is 00:28:44 And they only have one person for 33 people it's like that's not going to work in itself let alone not have letting the mom go 0.2 percent of the world's population is a that's a lot of people i didn't know that was happening i the the willpower think about that the willpower to continue like how do you how do you learn it i don't understand the helen keller story think, has been so fascinating for a lot of people because they go, I don't know how. And then Becca Myers here is swimming in the Olympics, Paralympics. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Let's go, Becca Myers. Let's go, dude. Let her swim. Come on. Let her swim, dude. Bullshit. Let her mom there, man. What's going on?
Starting point is 00:29:21 It is horse shit. Because it happened with the lady who's running for Canada, too, who has a kid. And she's not going anymore because they won't let her kid go. And she's got to breastfeed her kid. So she had to drop out, too. Okay, so like, all right, this is going to sound bad, potentially. But the Olympics could say for the, is it the Olympics or Paralympics? The Olympics, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:45 The Olympics could say you knew this was potentially going to happen the planning schedule of baby like they could be assholes and say that i think you know like that is something that that could happen but why doesn't have to like hey just let her take why can't she take her bed and i guess it's because they don't have enough cardboard box beds over there? Pretty much. Is that why? I think they are, with the COVID over there, I think they're trying to limit as many people that come as possible. Hey, so they're way, way, they're back whenever, they're at a stage that we hopefully have passed like months and months and months ago, huh?
Starting point is 00:30:21 I think so. I believe so. You know, they say that happens with fashion. Everything starts over there and then comes over this way like after a couple years is that same type of thing happening with covid is it has it not hit japan as much in the past was japan still going while we were all shut down or is this another shutdown over there i think it's a new one isn't it because of the the variant or whatever. I mean, I don't know if they were completely back to normal, but I mean, they're going like back into lockdown pretty much. I'm pretty sure Tokyo is in lockdown. Jeez. Yeah, that's why. I mean,
Starting point is 00:30:56 so are the so the Olympic athletes have to be in a bubble, but they said the bubble was loose. So that probably means the local government in authority that has everybody on lockdown is not exactly thrilled about that. I think so, yeah. This is going to be a potential. I mean, there's a chance. Oh, yeah. Today. No. Yeah, there's a chance. No, not today. I think it would be like in the middle. Yeah, it'd be like two teams compete
Starting point is 00:31:17 against each other and everyone on both teams gets COVID and then they're just like, oh, shit, we have to pull the plug on this right now. I don't know if it'll happen, but... That's what everybody's saying about it. Yeah, last minute cancellation. It feels more likely that's going to happen
Starting point is 00:31:33 than in two weeks we're going to be watching the closing games. Now listen, once The Rock walks out of that goddamn hangar... Sure, that's true. Okay, now you can DVR that, by the way, because we're competing against the Olympic opening ceremony tomorrow night on SmackDown. Oh, come on. Anybody want to talk about that? The ceremony's going to fucking stink.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Yeah, it's going to stink. It's going to stink. It's going to stink. If you watch that, you're a fool. Yeah, why would you? I mean, DVR it. I mean, it's quite a celebration. You will want to see it at some point.
Starting point is 00:31:58 There's probably going to be a cool drone thing, but there's moments you can fast forward through. Hey, and come on over to Fox. John Cena, Roman Reigns. Exactly. I mean, come on. to Fox. John Cena, Roman Reigns. Exactly. I mean, come on. The Olympic ceremony, Cena and Roman. What are you going to do? Come on.

Starting point is 00:33:47 It seems like it's even like a day that you're getting slim right now. You're cutting. Is it cutting season right now? I've been doing some new things. You know, I've kept it quiet, you know, until some real results show. But we're on our way. Well, we just got a little fact check from the back. I guess Blue Origin has been around since the year 2000.
Starting point is 00:34:04 What? Jeff Bezos. Oh, bullshit. Then the year 2015 it became public. So what happened in 2015? It became public that he was involved. I guess they had had three test runs or something. 15 test runs? What was it in April
Starting point is 00:34:18 or something? It was 15 I saw. They did 15 uncrewed test runs in April. I guess who knows how many. I guess all of them came back good. Yeah, I do. All right, what is the number? What is the number you think for Bezos there? Is he saying until there is zero out of 15, I don't want to hear it.
Starting point is 00:34:36 What if it was one out of 15? What do you think? I was going to say 13 out of 15. 13 out of 15? No, that's what I'm saying. What if one was bad? So, like, if it was 14 out of 15. No out of 15? No, that's what I'm saying. What if one was bad? So, like, if it was 14 out of 15. No chance.
Starting point is 00:34:48 It's got to be 15. Absolutely no chance. That thing's got to be batting 1,000. He's a cowboy. You think the space cowboy, the guy who hopped in that, what, 200-foot baby-making shaped? You think it had to be 15? I'm saying maybe number one or two, something could have happened,
Starting point is 00:35:08 but the last 10 had to have been perfect. 100%. It has to be 100%. We would have heard Thursday, too. No way he's going to have to be 100%. I think if there was five straight. Joining us now is a man who probably has an opinion on this from his attic in Ohio, AJ.
Starting point is 00:35:24 AJ Hawk, your thoughts. Yeah, I know. Do you think it's 15 out of 15? No. I mean, Elon Musk, how many penis rockets has that dude smashed? You've seen him crash multiple rockets, I would assume, Blue Origin. I think Diggs hit it perfectly.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Yeah, maybe early on in the process, if a couple blew up, you'd be okay. But, yeah, you need those last 10 to 12 to go okay. I mean, there's a kid on board. They had to have some sort of like, hey, we haven't had a messed up flight in years. How young was the child on it? 18.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Okay, so that's an adult, but I understand what you're saying. It was a young human. I want to let you know that humans in this country's history and probably others have been sending 18 year olds to war on a very regular basis. Sure, we know more about war
Starting point is 00:36:10 than we do about space. But I'm just saying, to say a kid is an interesting way. I think he was the youngest to ever be in space. Because Mitt is 23, I think anybody below him is damn near an infant basically. Yeah, and that's not how we should him is damn near an infant, basically.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Yeah, and that's not how we should view it. No, no, no. That's a skewed thought. But Mitt does kind of offset some things. I wanted to send him down to Donda. You hear we're giving away two tickets to the Donda album release party, AJ? I mean, who is delivering those tickets if Mitt gets a hold of one of those? I think that may be a TikTok firestorm. We might want to see that.
Starting point is 00:36:45 That's what we thought, by the way. That's exactly what we thought. I asked him if he wanted to go. Like, hey, does Mitt want to go? Let's do this. Mitt was in, 100% in. Then we realized, oh, it's in Atlanta. Mitt thought it was in Chicago somehow.
Starting point is 00:36:57 But I do believe when we asked him, we said Mercedes-Benz Stadium or something. For sure, we did. I think he was just so lost into Donda, Kanye. Oh, my God. He didn't even hear where it was. He said, yeah, I'm in because he thought it was in Chicago. Turns out it's in Atlanta. Scheduling conflict won't be able to happen.
Starting point is 00:37:13 So we're giving away two tickets. It's going to go off without a hitch tonight, I assume. It's Kanye West. So is he selling the whole place out just for an album party? Yeah. I mean, these tickets were not easy to get i don't think zito had to wait and to get them uh we got pretty good tickets though oh yeah unbelievable in that stadium every seat is made so that it's every seat's a good seat does he sell it did he sell
Starting point is 00:37:35 out a stadium for an album listing release party i think so i was looking at we fucking kane's always gonna have the juice weapon always to have it. Is he going to perform at all? Like, will he perform any of the songs? I think I've seen an album release listening party for him before. It was either in Chicago or Detroit, maybe. I forget where it was. Yeah, he had one in Detroit. It was outside in like a street.
Starting point is 00:37:59 I think he had like an alley and there was a projector. It's almost like a movie release. I don't think he's like wrapped. It's not in a concert, I don't think. Oh, yeah, he had like a film, didn't he? Yeah, it's like a movie release, I think. I don't know. By the way, he might have completely reimagined it since then
Starting point is 00:38:17 because I feel like that is how Kanye operates. It's going to be a spectacle. We were pumped to have some boots on the ground potentially, but since we can't go, hopefully other people will go. It's supposed to start at 8 or something like that. Kanye's not seeing that place until at least midnight, right? For sure, at least. Here in Indianapolis, it was one of his first stops for his tour,
Starting point is 00:38:36 the floating stage one. People left. He was like three and a half hours late, and then he showed up. Yeah. I think. After the gnomes. No, I think people were like sprinting back. He's a spectacle.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Kanye is always a spectacle. He's a showman. I can't wait to see what this is. And I hope his new music is fucking good, which people say it is. Well, need it. Yeah, hopefully he's making music for you, right? I know you're saying Drake is not currently making music for you. He's making music for other people, although he does continue to follow you, I believe.
Starting point is 00:39:04 for you he's making music for other people although he does continue to follow you i believe but it's all i think of when i think of kanye being three hours late like so he's paying all that overtime union labor like you know concerts they gotta end right at the time they need to end kanye does will not spare a dime for creative um freedom i like creativity and andy kaufman and i talk about this because it's such a great like example of the lengths that people are willing to go to do their style of creativity entertainment and everything like that he used to put in like static bars in the show back in the day so people would have to get up and hit their tv because they thought it was like static and then they would sit back down and nobody even knew that he was putting those TV because they thought it was like static and then they would sit back down and nobody even knew that he was putting those
Starting point is 00:39:47 into the show. So it was just like they thought it was happening and everything else. Like that was what Andy Kaufman was I think Kanye whenever he's like shows up three and a half hours late or does something where he says he's going to do something and he delays it like two months. I think he views that all as a part
Starting point is 00:40:03 of the show. I think he views that all as a part of the show. I think he thinks that's all a part of it. He's wearing shit over his head and everything. I think all of it is like the... I agree with you. I agree with you saying it's all part of the show except for the part about showing up three and a half hours late. I don't think that's part of the art.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Well, he might say something different, though. I would, too. I would, too, if I was Connie, and I wanted to show up three hours late. I don't think that's part of the art. Well, he might say something different, though. I would, too. I would, too, if I was Connie and I wanted to show up three hours late. If I wanted to be four hours late to an obligation that I had, I guess I would also say the tension of the wait.
Starting point is 00:40:40 Just get them to... Because there's another thing. Andy Kaufman read a book to an entire crowd. They bought tickets to a show Andy Kaufman read a book to an entire crowd. They bought tickets to a show and he read a book. What? Front to back. I mean, it's funny for us.
Starting point is 00:40:52 It wouldn't be funny being there. The whole book. Are you shitting me? I think one guy stayed the whole time. I think one guy stayed. And then when he finished it, he said, thank you.
Starting point is 00:41:00 I thought that guy was dead. What's that? I thought some guy just died in the crowd. No, he might've fell asleep or whatever but yeah like that is i think there are some people that that is genuinely how they feel like this is legendary shit that i'm doing here you know like i think that is how they are entertaining themselves i feel like that's for them like hey this is really funny to me and maybe a few others that i know andy kaufman had to think
Starting point is 00:41:23 long after i die people will tell this story and laugh their fucking asses off. That's like generational. But now anytime you think about a Kanye West live event, you immediately have to think like, okay, is he going to show up? Is it going to happen? Is Kanye going to be there? And I think the
Starting point is 00:41:38 Yeezus followers? What do you guys call yourselves? Mitt? Disciples of Yeezus? Is that what it is? I think it should be, going forward, if it's not. What do you guys call yourselves? The Yeezy Walks with us? I mean,
Starting point is 00:41:56 I'm a big Kanye West fan, yeah. I have a pair of Yeezus. What do you call yourself? That's not like a uniform, right? A lot of people have fucking Yeezus. Is there you call them? That's not like a uniform, right? A lot of people have fucking Yeezys. Is there a name for the fan base or no? No, he definitely did not do a little fan thing. That's a part of it.
Starting point is 00:42:13 That's part of it. We don't have that. Hey, that's not what we have. But if that was in Indy or a city that he could have got to pretty quickly, he would have went there, and if Kanye shows up five hours late, Mitt would have been like, alright, let's go. For the record, I was all in because I thought it was in Chicago
Starting point is 00:42:29 and I was cutting cameras for Hammer Down and my brain doesn't really work two ways at the same time. Well, you do great at cutting cameras, by the way, man. Hey! He heard Kanye West and Donda and was like, fuck y'all right now, let's go.
Starting point is 00:42:45 Camera's on me. He's awesome. He's the best. He's the best. But he would have waited five hours. I think the people that are Kanye fans
Starting point is 00:42:54 that are going to these things, they're like, okay, this is just kind of a part of it. You know, you and I,
Starting point is 00:42:59 that's probably not something we would ever in our lives think about doing, okay, to anybody, let alone Kanye. But there are people I think that that's like, yeah, that's Kanye, you know.
Starting point is 00:43:07 So somebody can win two tickets. We can't thank you enough. Good luck out there. And if you could send us some video of something, if they allow you. Yes. They probably won't. But if they could, if you could get us something, that'd be great for the show. We'd like to have boots on the ground.
Starting point is 00:43:19 Bring one of those pens in there that records everything that you can hear. Oh, like a spy. Bring one of those pens in there that records everything that you can hear. Oh, like a spy. So if you're a spy and have one of these pen recorders things, please enter the hashtag PMS Donda Party giveaway for two tickets to tonight's Donda album release party at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. And then overnight it's here.
Starting point is 00:43:40 For tomorrow. After the concert. Yeah, for tomorrow. Oh, so you should go, AJ. I used to have one. I got one somewhere. I bought it at Oh, so you should go, AJ. I used to have one. I got one somewhere. I bought it at the Sharper Image at the Chicago airport. What creepy shit, you guys. It was like a talk boy, Penn style.
Starting point is 00:43:53 At that spy museum. You can get them, I know for sure. I've seen the spy museum. It is a little bit disappointing with the size of it and kind of how they treat it, but it was somewhere that I went. Yeah, and I thought only spies had those things. What are you trying to catch somebody doing something? Are you like, is that what you got going on?
Starting point is 00:44:10 No, I mean, I never really found any good reason to use it. I mean, go on Amazon. There's a million different spy cameras you can get. I'm sure they're in Airbnbs all over the place, people spying on whoever runs the spot. What? I thought about that while I was in the Airbnb we were in in Texas. Really?
Starting point is 00:44:24 Yeah, everything I did. Who's walking me? I mean, with that fridge. I thought the fridge was just a rogue agent the entire time. The fridge was an iPhone. Smart fridge? It was nuts. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:35 You could play music. It stores songs, photos in there. You can go to web. You can order food on there. You could call FaceTime people on there. Put the notes on there with the grocery list and everything and everything was touching it was it was it was the nicest thing in the house by far tv didn't work obviously you had no naturally no cable but the the fucking
Starting point is 00:44:54 fridge was unbelievable but yeah they were definitely watching us everybody's watching you speaking of watching did you watch jerry jones say fuck it was awesome no i did not it was on his press conference yes so he and uh and Hollywood Mike McCarthy met with the press going into this year of hard knocks filming, which Mike McCarthy's answer was awesome. He said, I about drove off the road in my truck, but once I got back on, I was all in. Imagine, Jer. Hey, listen, Mike.
Starting point is 00:45:20 We're going to do hard knocks, and we're going to show everybody how good of coaches you are. Because remember just last season, about week six or week seven, everybody was saying, you guys don't know what the fuck you're doing. And this year we're going to do hard knocks, and we're going to build this team, and HBO is going to follow us. And Mike goes, what's that, Jer? We're going to lose.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Jer, I swear to God, you want fucking cameras everywhere. You've got to remember, practice with an apartment complex all the way around the practice facility. There is a VIP-like club that overlooks the everyday practice that you can buy tickets to. Ezekiel Elliott commented last year that for the first time in his career as a Dallas Cowboy, there was nobody in the club watching practices for a time of the year last year. Then they started coming back towards the end. That's the only way I found out that that fucking thing existed. And Mike was like, now you want cameras in every meeting as well?
Starting point is 00:46:16 How are we going to win any games? Is Mike going to be electrifying on this? And do you think this affects a team being good being in hard knocks? No, I don't think it will affect the team, really. I think it will affect the coaches and how they interact a little bit. I know you can find a way to forget that the cameras are in there. But the weird thing, I think, if I was the head coach, the stuff that I wouldn't want in is, like, the cameras from the staff meetings.
Starting point is 00:46:38 And you're sitting there talking about individual players and your plan and all this stuff that you don't really want out there. Also, your team meetings. Like, Mike's going to be very inadvertently funny the whole time i think he's not gonna be trying to be but i think it'll be great remember todd haley that's me he had his hat he had his hat and did like a full oh my god is this guy gonna explode this guy broke his hip getting into a fight at a at a rodeo bar in pittsburgh one He'll get after it. I don't know if Hugh knows that. It's like that was access that I never would have thought I'd seen.
Starting point is 00:47:09 You've heard about coaches fighting each other a lot. Just last year we heard allegedly a coach fought another coach. That is something that has happened through the history. It can get a little tense. And I guess does the club get to say you're in there or not? And did the Cleveland Browns say, yeah, you're allowed in there? Did you say, yeah, you're allowed in there? Or how does it work on who gets –
Starting point is 00:47:29 I guarantee it's agreed on before they even – I don't know how they sign a deal or whatever. Before the NFL forces the team to do it if they don't want to. Yeah, I'm sure you have to sign off like, hey, we're putting cameras in all your meeting rooms. The only place – I'm sure there's like, hey, the only place there won't be cameras are like the showers and areas where we would see dudes dongs in the locker room jerry jerry goes to uh mike hey listen mike we're gonna put cameras
Starting point is 00:47:55 in every room and mike goes every room what about the locker room and jerry goes we want to see those dongs too what What if Mike had to be like, no. It'll go viral. Mike, no way. Can't do it or whatever, you know. Like that is. Can't be putting these guys' meats out there, Jerry. Who got agreed?
Starting point is 00:48:16 Who got in the conversation? Who was in the room whenever it was agreed upon on where the cameras were? Was that just Jerry in HBO and the NFL? Or did Mike McCarthy have any say? And was he learning about everything as he was crashing his truck? Yeah. I think Jerry probably did not tell Mike about that meeting when they were going to talk about where the cameras would be
Starting point is 00:48:37 because I'm sure Jerry knows, like, this would be a lot easier without Mike. And HBO as well probably thought, yeah, Jerry will sign off on everything. Okay, we have some breaking news. A memo has been sent to the NFL, and the man who can memorize the memos and release the information, exactly how it was sent out from the NFL, Tom Pellicero, is reporting that the NFL just informed clubs that if a game cannot be rescheduled during the 18-week season in 2021 due to a COVID outbreak among unvaccinated players,
Starting point is 00:49:10 the team with the outbreak will forfeit and be credited with a loss for playoff seeding per sources. Massive implication, says Tom Pelissero. You ain't kidding, pal. Per sources means the NFL just sent this memo to Tom Pelissero less than a minute ago. He was able to do that entire thing and pump out what what matters. And that's why the arrow Tom Pelissero is always trending up. AJ, your thoughts. This is even more like we heard this from Mac Brown originally months and months and months and months ago. He said, what we're being told is if everybody's vaccinated, we can go back to normal.
Starting point is 00:49:49 If people aren't, we can't do anything. So it was almost like, hey, get vaccinated or your life's going to be absolutely terrible, indifferent at a competitive disadvantage from everybody else that does do it. That seems like what's happening here in the NFL with is a couple of days before everything gets started up again. It sounds like they're just stepping up their game of trying to get people to get vaccinated to where they know they can't say you have to be vaccinated to play, but they can
Starting point is 00:50:14 make it very difficult if you're not vaccinated. So now we've seen what Michael Irvin come out and talk about it, how it's an advantage if you are vaccinated, 85% of the team, all this stuff and they do. It is going to be interesting to see because it's true. Like you're going to be almost separate from the team if you're not vaccinated, right? You got a mask, you got a social distance, all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:50:32 There's more coming out from the arrow, Tom Pellicero. Here's more from today's memo, which also says the team responsible for a canceled game because of an outbreak among unvaccinated players slash staff will be responsible for financial losses and subject to potential discipline from the commissioner. Wow. Okay. So you don't want to get vaccinated. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:50:54 Hey, that's fine. Sure. Don't worry about it. Do what you got to do. But if it's because of you that a game gets moved, you're going to have to pay for the money that was lost from that game. What is that? $70 million.
Starting point is 00:51:05 So much money. $70 million? Go back to that thing, please. What if you cost an owner a home game? That's gigantic money. Will be responsible for financial losses and subject to potential discipline from the commissioner.
Starting point is 00:51:20 Well, hey, don't have to get vaccinated. Only possibly punished by a $70 million fine amongst seven or eight of you or ten of you, however many are on the team. You don't have to get vaccinated, though. No. Hey, don't have to do it. Don't have to, by the way. Just, hey, do whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Hey, land it free, okay, because of the brief. Do whatever you got to do. That's right. You don't need to get it. Hey, you do whatever you got to do. But if it's because of you that a game gets lost, depending upon which stadium. Now, you better hope it's in a different stadium.
Starting point is 00:51:49 But if it's in one of those big – you owe – you're going to owe Jerry, okay, $70 million. That's one game. All right? Think about up there. Imagine if some – No, Jerry will owe, right? They're saying the team, they're not putting –
Starting point is 00:52:02 the players aren't going to owe all that. Go. Back. Outbreak among uninvested players will be responsible. They're saying the team, they're not putting out, the players aren't going to owe all that. Go back. Outbreak among uninvested players will be responsible. It also says the team responsible for a cancel. Oh, shit. So now Jerry has reasons to tell. You think I'm going to pay Robert Kraft $70 million up there
Starting point is 00:52:21 because you won't get a shot because of your freedom? Is that what is that what the conversations that are happening right now it is this is going to be a massive conversation by the way everything that is handled when it comes to the vaccinations and everything that happens getting back into life and if i mean who knows with everything that's potentially happening this is all going to be talked about centuries from now, decades from now. Everything is going to be talked about. The NFL went to this length to get everybody vaccinated and said that a team would potentially be fined $70 million if it doesn't happen. I mean, that is crazy to think
Starting point is 00:52:59 about, AJ. I mean, there's a lot going on. the league intends to play its entire 272 game schedule over 18 weeks 17 games and this is key we do not anticipate adding a 19th week to accommodate games that cannot be rescheduled within the current 18 weeks of the regular season play on time or don't play other key competitive aspect of today's memo vaccinated individuals who test positive and are asymptomatic um can return to duty after two negative tests 24 hours apart. Unvaccinated individuals still subject to mandatory 10-day isolation period. It's crazy stuff coming out of Tom Palacero there. More strong language.
Starting point is 00:53:37 Something about obliged. Every club is obligated under the Constitution and bylaws to have its team ready to play at the scheduled time and place a failure to do so is deemed conduct detrimental there is no right to postpone again okay so they're saying get vaccinated or get the fuck out yep is cole beasley gonna retire then well cole he's gonna have cole beasley is not the only one i just want to let i now cole beasley has been the loudest. He has been pretty loud. I am in the drum. Dr. Florio said he thinks he was trying to get cut. Cole was?
Starting point is 00:54:09 Yeah. So, but, I mean. From the belt? I am no doctor. I have no idea what's going on. But as a spectator of society, it does feel as if places are just going to tell people, you're getting vaccinated. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:54:24 That's what's going to happen. It started with Mac, when Mac Brown told us that was months and months and months and months and months ago that the ACC said, this is how your team
Starting point is 00:54:32 can operate with people vaccinated. If one person isn't vaccinated, this, you have to continue to do COVID-19 protocol. As soon as we heard, as soon as this brain, I don't know how everybody, my dumb ass,
Starting point is 00:54:44 as soon as I heard that, I was like, oh, that's how, that's what everybody's just going to do. And here we are, a week out from preseason football starting here, and this is all just starting to kind of come forth now. Yeah, we're like a month away from cuts, and guess what, if two players are on the cut line, and
Starting point is 00:55:00 one's vaccinated and one's not, they're taking the vaccinated guy. Yep. And A.J AJ Hawk joins us. The Hammer Down Boys who have told us a very valuable piece of information on Olympic gambling, which is hammer the favorites. That's right.
Starting point is 00:55:15 Maybe even a little parlay on the favorites across an entire event. Maybe get a two for there. Because although the favorites are all plus in the 100 meter of the men, plus 115 for the favorite to win, I guess fast, fast, fast zone, bitch. Oh, yeah. You parlay that with something else.
Starting point is 00:55:34 You can up those odds plus 150, maybe even plus 200 somehow. Now we're talking about that. Now we're making money off making money off of the fastest people that it's already documented. Diggs, this seems like a foolproof plan. Is this what we're doing? We're just betting on the favorites and parlaying them all. Let me check because the other day I did try doing this because I thought it
Starting point is 00:55:52 was a great plan and you cannot parlay across the board events across events. No way. What? Okay. Well, we need to get that changed by the start of the game. Unless mine is broken. Like? Okay, well, we need to get that changed by the start of the game. Unless mine is broken. Like, right now, I can't
Starting point is 00:56:08 take Bromel to win the 100 meter. And then Ledecky to win. I was gonna say, I think you just put every penny that you have on Ledecky to win gold, because she's gonna. Nice vandal. So, Tony, I actually did have this
Starting point is 00:56:23 same problem, and it's only certain events. It's actually very weird. Hey, we're live. Hey. This isn't a Julio Jones, Shannon Sharp situation. We are live, okay? Yes. Hi, everyone.
Starting point is 00:56:36 Do you consent to being on live air right now, please? I do consent to being on live air right now. What the fuck's going on? We can't parlay the favorites in the Olympics across events. How come we can't parlay all the favorites on... I want to be able to put money on Phelps and the sprinting dude. What's going on?
Starting point is 00:56:57 I'll call the people and then we'll call you back. Okay, thank you so much, Jordan. I appreciate you, man. Have a good one, bud. See ya. Who is that? That's business. That's business. Okay, thank you. Thank you so much, Jordan. I appreciate you, man. Have a good one, bud. See you. Yeah. Good guy. Who is that? Jimmy FanDuel? That's business.
Starting point is 00:57:08 That's business. That's right. That's the relationship that's good, by the way. Whenever, you know, like we still have the relationship with FanDuel. It's like, hey, you need to stop fucking us. What the fuck, FanDuel? By the way, I talked about that earlier. Every conversation you're having, you know, it's like they are still a sports book who is trying to beat us. That is still the mindset.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Like, hey, how come we can't parlay on all – we can't go across? You guys trying to beat us? What's that all about? What's going on over there? It's goddamn World Games. Okay, get it together. Figure it out. But they come back and they're like, well, regulatory-wise, we're actually not allowed to.
Starting point is 00:57:43 Well, I don't care. I get a lot of those, by the league. Well, regulatory wise, we're actually not allowed to. I don't care. I get a lot of those, by the way. I'm playing around in here. You can parlay the USA men's team to win gold and then Fiji to win gold in rugby. Those two. Maybe it's just not individuals. Well, Mitt said you can. Mitt said certain events
Starting point is 00:57:57 you can do it. Correct. Just not in track because it's individual humans? That's what seems like that's what we'll find out. Do any long shots have a chance? Any of those long shots? Johan Blake. It seems like no, by the way. And we kind of broke down why the sports books are probably so accurate.
Starting point is 00:58:14 The max speed of every one of them is documented numerous times, right, at this point? A lot of trials and stuff. So I guess not performing your best, which is something that happens at every level in every single sport. But I think handicapping Olympic games should be a lot easier. Fairly simple. Relatively easy. Not like rugby and all that because that's team events and things have to go. But the individual track and field and even gymnastics.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Swimming. Wrestling. Yeah, I think – well, wrestling still I think you can get outcrafted. I think you can get – Yeah, track and field gymnastics. Swimming. Wrestling. While wrestling still, I think you can get out crafted. Track and field though, you know there's definitely a handful of people that are running that race that have zero chance of winning. If it's like a 100 meter dash. And do they know that?
Starting point is 00:58:55 They know that too, right? I would try to push that way back in my brain. They know if I run my best. Yeah. I got this. I feel exactly like I do in Tahoe. If I put three good rounds together, I'm going to win this one. And I get 64th. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:11 Yeah, Joe, by the way, not that last. Joe Thomas had that belief every year that they were going to be good, and then they were never good. I guess as an athlete, you have to get to that. But with the – no, it's a follow-up from something potentially happened to my wife there was a chance so i called doc to quickly get this thing expedited doc i guess working answer at the time he just called me back now hey i'm doing the same doc yeah no uh so that that whole thing i i'll call him back at the break. He's not watching for whatever reason.
Starting point is 00:59:45 What the hell? Asshole or whatever. Get the show on. But track and field, you know, like, I don't know. You know their best, though, to your point. You know exactly how well, unless they have, like, their greatest performance that they've ever had. But if not, you know what they're going to get. Doesn't their body kind of tell them, though,
Starting point is 01:00:02 like how fast they're going to go? Like, you know how the fastest of the fastest. Like Tyreek Hill. I saw on video him outrunning Usain Bolt. Then Bolt closed it out. I feel like they have those 3D of every Olympian, right? And this is how fast this person can go. They have the exact how fast a person can go.
Starting point is 01:00:23 Then it's, I guess, if they're ready on game day. I've never ran track. But think about it. Like, if somebody, if there's somebody from some crazy country that got in, all of a sudden they're like, there's 10 people running the race. If that person's fastest 100 time is 10-4 and they've ran 100 races
Starting point is 01:00:39 and somebody else consistently runs under 10, like, okay, yeah, you know this isn't going to happen. We might be a little bit ignorant here because neither – you might have been a track guy. You ran a 4-4 or whatever, but you – First grade I was. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 01:00:52 I think elementary school. Coach. I mean, he is a coach. Track coach, yeah. You are motivating him to run. Quit on his team, I think. Yeah, he did quit after that one first coaches meeting he had to go to. Dirt bag.
Starting point is 01:01:03 Well, I think he was in a room with a couple of those he said those people are all family friends probably view aj differently now but is there a way to outperform yourself in track i don't know world records i guess right some because some guys will still like break a world record but i think those guys are close to that already like i don't think if a guy is consistently finishing in – Three tenths behind. Yeah. I don't think there's any way unless he gets on a quick cycle of the juice.
Starting point is 01:01:31 Yeah. Quick shot. Before the World Games. Oh, shoot. He's doping. This is the World Games. That's not going to happen. Well, yeah, especially now after Icarus was out there.
Starting point is 01:01:40 What were you about to say? Something like – So I was playing around some more. You can parlay an individual to win the 100 meters and then a team. If you did USA 100 meters men to win that guy to win the gold and then Team USA to win the gold
Starting point is 01:01:53 in basketball, you can parlay those two. Good news. But two individuals is not working. I've got to include a team game. Sports books like Team Sports. Let's focus on team sports. Those are a little more unpredictable. Let's go.
Starting point is 01:02:06 Yeah. Let's have more people involved. Let's have more potential fuck-ups. What's Simone Biles? Can I just bet on her to win everything? Not worth it. See, gymnastics. Mine is 20.
Starting point is 01:02:16 Mine is 50. I think she only has five gold medals or something. What? Six maybe? Still, though, she could stumble. She could fall. Gymnastics is a little more. Simone doesn't do that. Simone Biles ain't going to stumble or fall. No? Six maybe? Still though, she could stumble. She could fall. Like gymnastics is a little more. Simone doesn't do that.
Starting point is 01:02:27 Simone Biles ain't going to stumble or fall. No, I know she's perfect. I know she's unbelievable and she's going to dominate everybody. But think how much pressure is on her right now. Like she's, everyone's like, oh yeah, of course, you're going to win all the golds. Like there's no reason you should fall at all.
Starting point is 01:02:38 Only four gold. She only has four gold and one bronze. So she has five. Because I was watching something last night and they gave the medal count, I think, for the women's athletes. And she was on there and I only saw five. Because I was watching something last night, and they gave the medal count, I think, for the women's athletes. And she was on there, and I only saw five. I was like, what?
Starting point is 01:02:49 Because I think we automatically just associate like Phelps is because he had 10 events that he swam in where he had all those incredible pictures where he had 50 fucking gold medals in it or whatever. How many events is she in? I think only five events, right? Because it's team and then there's like... So she could win five more medals? Well, she could win team, she could win the all-around, and then there's all the end of it,
Starting point is 01:03:14 like floor routine, uneven bars. Does she do them all? All around, I think. I'm pretty sure. I don't know if she does the bars, but I know she's very good on the beam and the floor exercise. Does she do this one?
Starting point is 01:03:24 Does she do the miserable one? I don't think the women do the rings. No, yeah, they don't know if she does the bars, but I know she's very good on the beam and the floor exercise. Does she do this one? Does she do the miserable one? I don't think the women do the rings. No, yeah, they don't. Do you ever try to get on one of those, AJ? You probably have. You definitely have. Yeah. It feels like it re-tears my pec if I ever tried any of that.
Starting point is 01:03:36 Every time I get to about right here, one foot on. And then as soon as the box moves it is a it is a straight up that is the amount of strength it takes to do the shit that and then the pommel horse oh man just how many times you can spin on that thing right it's like i mean it's and then flip off of it and land it yeah they don't flip the big game is whenever they hit the slow motion for them, and they go up on their hands, and then they go right back into it. And then the uneven bars, whenever somebody – and it's not impressive at all, but when somebody's going crazy and they just stop and they're just straight up in the air,
Starting point is 01:04:16 I'm always like, that's insane body control right there. Oh, yeah, this is getting me juiced for the Olympics all of a sudden. I'm pumped up. They'll go like half body and like slingshot back to the other one and fly around. These humans dedicate their lives to doing absolutely absurd things in sports we rarely see. I love the World Games. Hell yeah. Why are they sleeping on cardboard fucking boxes?
Starting point is 01:04:41 God damn it. 4 a.m. wake up call. Beating the hell out of a pommel horse figure it out for 20 years straight sleeping on cardboard boxes they won't say anything because they're the ones that have been doing pommel horses at 4 a.m for 20 years straight every single morning not even seeing sunlight probably most years in there just going to town slaving away to become the greatest they could possibly become and they got sleeping cardboard boxes over there can lisa call tokyo and just start sending beds hate to break it to tokyo they said that i mean at one point kovat lives on that cardboard down there oh they didn't say that you remember
Starting point is 01:05:23 that it was like a seven-week thing. If you leave it on cardboard, it's staying. That was like the most explosive conductor. Yeah. Stop shipping things. God. You might be shipping death on and in a box. That's what they're sleeping on over there.
Starting point is 01:05:39 So how do the people of Tokyo feel that all of these athletes have flooded their area? What if the Olympics get canceled? They all are going to be scrambling to get out of there? Yeah. And can you get out? If everybody's on lockdown, can you even hop on a plane and bounce? Probably not, right? It makes no sense.
Starting point is 01:05:54 Kyle Brandt went to Australia for what, four weeks or something? Four weeks, yeah. But two of those weeks he was just locked down. What was he doing there? Do we know? It hasn't come out yet. He was filming something, they said. Was he? Is it possible? It hasn't come out yet. He was filming something, they said. Was he?
Starting point is 01:06:05 Is it possible? I know you have another idea. Was it possible he was doing Real World Road Rules Challenge? Was he filming one of those? Ooh. He's in great shape. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 01:06:14 I read something. It acted like that. Real World Australia? That's awesome if that's what it is. If Kyle Brandt goes back and we see him strapped up to one of those chains dragging CT around.
Starting point is 01:06:25 Him and CT head to head. He tweeted about it. I'm sending it to the group. What'd he say? Get your quarters ready. Wildest game of my life coming soon, and there's a frog emoji. Oh. And a photo, him and another guy.
Starting point is 01:06:38 Frog emoji. So I was right. It's not real. It's what you said. Did he publicly say it? No. The name of the show isn't out there. I'm sending it. Sorry. It's not real. It's what you said. Did he publicly say it? No. The name of the show isn't out there.
Starting point is 01:06:47 I'm sending it. Sorry, it's taking forever. That frog emoji kind of does that for you. Yeah, it's a frog. You'll see.
Starting point is 01:06:52 I don't think other people know what that, I don't think other people put that together. You'll see the set too. It's coming. What's the frog game, dude? A frog game.
Starting point is 01:07:00 What's that? It's a frog game. There's that one where you hit the lily pad and it flipped the frog onto the lily pad. Here it is. Is it like snipe hunting? No.
Starting point is 01:07:10 Frog hunting has real implications. Frogger on big guys. How about Foxy saying he's with some other guy? Yeah, come on, dude. Come on, Foxy. Yeah, dude, that's a fucking legend, bro. Yeah. Thank you. Who is it? What? Oh, no. Are you embarrassing yourself right now? You, bro. Yeah. Thank you. Who is it? What? Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:07:25 Are you embarrassing yourself right now? Foxy. You guys know I don't know anyone. Who is it? Foxy, don't be such a stupid. Don't be rude. Come on, dude. Who is it? Foxy, knock it off. The guy's a fucking superstar. He's the host of Frogger. That's right. The guy's a legend, dude. Foxy. Does the set give it away?
Starting point is 01:07:42 No, the hashtag does. Oh, yeah. I missed that one. Kyle Brandt, congrats on Frogger, by the way. Thank you, Kyle. I was potentially talked to about this potential gig. Whoa. I was not selected.
Starting point is 01:07:58 What? Yeah, that's when I went on that whole run, like, alright. Did you audition? The energetic white guy. Kyle Brandt's taking all those roles right now. I'm off. I'm a big fan of Kyle, though, so I'm completely cool with it. It wasn't an audition. I think it was just like a conversation.
Starting point is 01:08:13 There might be some other stuff. Oh. I mean, for you to go to Australia and sit in a hotel room for two weeks all doped up, there's no way you could do that. I don't think I would have been able to do the international trip. That's what I'm saying. You got to keister, a lot of stuff to do. I don't think so, because they make you do this one here.
Starting point is 01:08:30 You know what I mean? The keister is like the... It was a no-go from the jump, huh? Yeah. Believe me, I was not asked to do it, but the thought that it potentially happened, I did have to quickly... Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:08:43 Could I make that happen? That's expensive. That's an expensive private plane. That is an expensive private plane. Let's talk about some stuff happening in our world. Drew Brees said Justin Herbert's forearms and hands look like he has been digging fence post holes his entire life. That's the most Texas compliment I've ever
Starting point is 01:09:08 heard in my entire life. Drew Brees, fresh off the ranch. I want to let everybody know I saw a movie, Dude Ranch as a Child, so I understand what it's like on a ranch digging poles and whitewashing those fences and getting the energy back into the barbed wire fences and the electricity for
Starting point is 01:09:24 the cow and the saddle and everything like that. And these Texas Longhorns, with how big those fucking horns are, you've got to get real good fence posts in there. So he said, hey, Herbert, your arms look like one of those ranchers that I grew up around with those big old forearms you got there. Herbert is a freak, and it was displayed in his first drive when he got put into the game out of nowhere against the world champions because Tyrod Taylor got his lung punctured by a golf tee that the doctor of the team was holding
Starting point is 01:09:51 just 15 minutes before the game start. Justin Herbert, a man who nobody knew if he could handle the big city, the spotlight, got dropped into a primetime game against Kansas City Chiefs in the division, balled out with no practice or no prep really to be the starter. And in the first drive, ran a motherfucker over, knocked that person out. He got back up and everybody said, oh, this is a guy. All season he proved to be that.
Starting point is 01:10:16 Herbert is a monster. People say he's like Cam Newton whenever you're around him with how big he is. Slings the ball around. The future is very bright over there. But I like the fact that Drew Brees told him, hey, you got some big Ben-like forearms, pal. I love it. I always said I would tell people, like,
Starting point is 01:10:33 Brett Favre's hands and forearms are, he looks like a lumberjack. Like, he's been chopping trees down his whole life. Aaron, very similar. You know, Aaron has giant hands, big, strong hands and forearms. I think it's a great trait to have, I guess, if you are a quarterback, slinging the ball around. Big has giant hands, big, strong hands and forearms. I think it's a great trait to have, I guess, if you are a quarterback slinging the
Starting point is 01:10:48 ball around. Big, strong hands. That's what Aaron got. You want your hands and forearms if you're a quarterback to look like if you flicked them, you'd break your finger. Yeah. Especially because up there in Green Bay with that, when he puts on that thermal, everybody knows. When the thermal
Starting point is 01:11:04 comes on, that other team's going to sleep. That's right. Those frigid temperatures. It's the Dickey. They have those. They're awesome. I was in Dickey's arena just last week. Let me tell you what.
Starting point is 01:11:13 John Cena showed up and blew the roof off that place. Hell, yeah. I see Ty's hat. Hell, yeah. How? Hey, so, Pat, I don't know if we – I'm sure you've talked wrestling before, but, like, Roman Reigns, there's a lot of material out there for Roman Reigns to go after if he wants to.
Starting point is 01:11:29 Like, how real is it going to get? All right. So – I mean, I don't – Fascinating question because I'm also, right? Oh, yeah. Because I am also on a – A lot of great material that you could jump in with very quickly.
Starting point is 01:11:42 Yeah, and, I mean, I know people want me to bash him for ferdinand but i like that movie that's great that's a good movie you know i mean and i know people want me to bash him for you know maybe some other movie opinion but i'm i happen to think that his selection of movies is very good pretty good yeah his movie if john cena's in and i know it's going to be a good movie i don't know how he was jacob teretto well okay i'm gonna check that out you don't have to worry about that. He was unbelievable as Toretto. Yeah, so I'm not sure if there really is that much to go after John Cena for.
Starting point is 01:12:12 It seems like all he does is create bangers. Really? I'd agree. You don't think there's that much to go after? No, I don't think so. Or do you think there's just some stuff you'll stay away from? What's that? You think there's just stuff you'll stay away from versus stuff that actually you could bash him on? What are you?
Starting point is 01:12:25 What do you think? Is. His rap album or what? Thuganomics? I'm going to talk about Thuganomics for sure. That's pretty good. How about his he also does the he has like four commercials. They sometimes go back to back to back
Starting point is 01:12:42 to back. I think he has Expedia, maybe? I don't know. Experian. Experian. He's on that one. I think he's ended up riding a horse or something. General So's.
Starting point is 01:12:54 A cow. Yeah, doesn't he have... Isn't he the new spokesperson for General So's? He's got that new movie, too. Vacation Friends. Looks good. I'll be good It's got a Lawrence in Connecticut
Starting point is 01:13:07 Are you a fifth grader? He hosted that? Yeah it was great And also Wipeout It was unbelievable Oh yeah He hosted Wipeout Well the Wipeout
Starting point is 01:13:15 Also some material there as well Yeah Someone died on set It wasn't his fault It wasn't his fault He did throw up But it happened Was he sitting in for Akbar or what?
Starting point is 01:13:26 No, that's American Ninja Warrior. Come on. What the hell? That's on me. That one's on me. John Henson was Wipeout. Well, I guess Wipeout is
Starting point is 01:13:41 not the safest I've heard. Both times that had similar outcomes I guess. Iout is not the safest, I've heard. No, no, no. Both times. It had similar outcomes, I guess. I did not know that. I didn't know that actually happened. Every time I watch something on TV that seems like legit, I'm always like, oh, it can't be that real because it wouldn't be on TV.
Starting point is 01:13:56 Like, America's Got Talent. I love America's Got Talent. And when somebody calls, like, Hallie up or somebody up on and they have this thing, I'm always like, okay, so they've been smartened up on what's going on here. Or what if they actually have it? And so we just see Simon Cowell get a bow and arrow right through the forehead one time. Like that can happen. I just saw a very reputable performer at a carnival.
Starting point is 01:14:21 What happened? Very reputable. A very reputable performer at a carnival. Who? Huh? Was it. A very reputable performer at a carnival. Huh? Was it Shinigami? It was not Shinigami. It was a very reputable spectacle performer
Starting point is 01:14:32 at a carnival, which is another thing you go to and you see some shit happening and you're like, okay, I just assumed that nobody's going to actually die here,
Starting point is 01:14:39 but it seems like we are death-defying in the moment. There was somebody at a carnival because it is about to be state fair season. We beat COVID, I think. State fairs are some of my favorites.
Starting point is 01:14:50 We didn't have any in Pittsburgh where I went to. We had the community days, which is much different, I've learned. But the state fair since coming to Indiana, it is awesome. I mean, it is people watching Paradise. The fried food is good. The experience is great. I mean, state fairs are incredible. But getting introduced to these as an adult adult as opposed to just some dumb ass kid that just kind of gets brainwashed into
Starting point is 01:15:09 something seeing some some of these things are not they are people should not be marketing this they should not be happy there's gonna be people that die there was a guy in some carny somewhere he was doing uh and by the way they're great sales people oh yeah these state fairs and carnies if they didn't end up going to jail for whatever they went to jail for, for however long they went, or choosing down the road of substance, whatever they chose to use, they would have been incredible business people. They can get you to do whatever. They're amazing.
Starting point is 01:15:34 And they also have these incredible talents. They can do all that shit that you can't do. Rolling the ball and having it stop after that one, they do it every single time. Easy game, easy game, easy game. Hot ball rolling. It goes, easy game. And then they have the fucking circle thing, and they go around that goddamn thing.
Starting point is 01:15:53 Easy game, easy game. And they go, you want to play? And it's like, yeah, you touch it. It's like, bang. The thing goes, every one of those. I even saw one look like the fucking American sniper guy with that rifle thing where you have to shoot the star out. And you know how the
Starting point is 01:16:07 barrel is hooked. You never ever, you miss the first five and then you have to fix it and you never have enough. I saw one guy bend one of these fucking bullets like he was Angelina Jolie and that fucking thing and snipe out the entire star. I was like, who the fuck are you,
Starting point is 01:16:24 dude? But anyways, I always wondered if they ever messed up because I'd never seen them do it ever. And I'm like, these might be the most consistent motherfuckers on earth. There's a video floating around the internet right now. One of them, this guy was put on a show. Everybody's pumped. Oh, look at it. Hey, little moon. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. That happened. We had T's and P's to that guy And shout out to the Air Force Ones that were watching along there at the end because somebody dropped their phone because they were in awe of that happening. We got to run that back. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:16:51 That's good. One's good enough. Is he all right? He's not dead. We did have to walk in to see if he was not dead. He was pissing blood for a week, but he's good. He's alive? I mean, yes, he is, I believe.
Starting point is 01:17:01 Nick told me this guy was alive. I never confirmed or denied anything. That guy's spinal cord snapped like a Slim Jim. I don't know, he is, I believe. Nick told me this guy was alive. I never confirmed or denied anything. That guy's spinal cord snapped like a Slim Jim. I don't know if he's alive or not. It is hard to. This is why this show can't do the way it goes. AJ was calling for it to run again. No way.
Starting point is 01:17:17 I want to see if he's okay. Yeah, I bet you do. I didn't know that. I mean, I just assumed immediately right there, pronounced dead. No, no. That's not his first fall. You know there's no way that's his first fall. No, he had to practice. No, I think it is. Have you ever
Starting point is 01:17:32 been to one of these? They do amazing things. After years of practice and falling off of that thing. Then he gets put on the big stage. I don't know. I don't know. Anyways, we hope he's okay. Thank you for committing yourself to the entertainment. You see the one last week where it was like
Starting point is 01:17:47 $14 a night, that guy. It was like the magic carpet and the bolts came off and it was just all over the place. Maybe after COVID, they should have done a little like, for instance, when a Harley comes back out of the garage, you've got to recheck everything. That's right. Let me tighten these bolts a little bit here, see what's going on, see if
Starting point is 01:18:03 everything can run. I feel like the state fairs and the carnivals that I've seen on the internet, the rollout process has not been one where they have checked everything going back in there. There was one where the entire crowd had to hold the fucking thing up. Oh, yeah. There's people spinning. Ah! Hold it down. Hold it down.
Starting point is 01:18:20 And then they're almost getting clipped by the humans. I mean, it is. I don't know if now is the time to hop back back onto the Whirlybird, to be honest. Yeah, well, that's the problem. When these carnies are more focused on when they can go smoke their next cigarette, as opposed to tightening in the bolts on the thing that's probably going to kill a bunch of people, just stay away. It's not worth it.
Starting point is 01:18:36 Don't you broad brush these carnies like that. Okay? He did, though. You can tell. That video of the flying star that's going around. Guy comes, camera right. He's got a long-ass cigarette hanging out of his mouth, and he's telling the people,
Starting point is 01:18:50 well, fucking help me hold this thing down! Yeah, he is. I need to find these videos. They've been showing up in my timeline a lot. I guess State Fair is very easy to creep into my world, and Carnival is... I mean, the word itself is so much fun, you know? But only really getting into it as an adult,
Starting point is 01:19:10 there's a lot of holes in what's going on that could potentially be devastating. I mean, that is part of the show, I guess, though, for me, I guess. They're fun. It's fun. What do you mean? They used to set up in a parking lot close to where I grew up, and it would come every year, and it was rides like that. And you do all the rides that are, who knows how the safety check is
Starting point is 01:19:31 or whatever. You didn't feel 100% safe, but they were fun. That spin one? Yeah, and you stick to the wall. And then they drop the bottom out of it? It's like, who the fuck is getting in there? I puked three feet after that. What's that?
Starting point is 01:19:42 I puked three feet out of that machine when I was like 10 years old. I don't know how you don't puke, but also I don't know how you get on there if you have any reasonable thoughts. You know, like Sam wanted to do it, I think, one time. She grew up in Indiana, loves State Fair. She goes, oh, let's get on that thing, the whirly thing. I'm like, a couple quick things. Who the fuck put it together? Who put it together?
Starting point is 01:20:03 And then I saw the floor drop out i'm like this is incredible engineering i guess but how do we trust that this thing's going to continue to spin fast enough with g-forces we're trusting g-forces right now with the people that we're looking around at oh stop it's easier whatever i'm like no i'm a puke all over the place too i'm not doing it she was gonna get on broke down no way don't say yeah she was in line too in line boom i'm waiting in line next to her outside the gate she was gonna do it i think to shove it in my face you know what i mean to do that whole thing we get up there oh we'll be back 30 minutes we're gonna fix something or whatever i'm like oh never would have guessed but there is a lot of kids that have gone on there and
Starting point is 01:20:42 not died so that that is something I should look at and say. What's up, Zito? We're getting updates. He is still alive. Just a couple injuries. Okay. Hey. Nice.
Starting point is 01:20:51 We can't watch it again. We can't watch it. I thought we potentially made a big, big, oh, right there. He is still alive. Let's put that back up there then. At what point do you think he realized, oh, no, it's over? Like right here, he's flowing. Right there, I think he gets realized oh i'm never gonna do this again all right let's get off this is my last ride he definitely drank a fifth before he started doing that so like
Starting point is 01:21:14 no i don't think that i don't think the the wheel i don't think the hamster wheel at of the sky guys getting boozed up yeah but he's definitely doing something. I mean, I don't know if he's doing a whole bag of Yale before, but he is going up. He's burying every car in the world. Hey, look, he's not doing that thing without shooting something into his body before. Can we please stop burying the hamster wheel guy in the Sky?
Starting point is 01:21:43 Hey, I respect it. That was in Cape Cod. It was damn near my backyard. I love that guy. Think about when he gets back out of this, by the way. When he beats this, he's getting back into the fucking wheel, dude. Put me on a spinny, whirly wound. He's probably already back.
Starting point is 01:21:56 I bet he already is back working. Maybe. Carnies have that different level. Hey, but what's the difference? Conor's making fun of them, calling them carnies. They do very, very similar things at Cirque du Soleil, and they're artists. Well, that's the difference? Conor's making fun of them, calling them carnies. They do very, very similar things at Cirque du Soleil. And they're artists. Well, that's the difference, right?
Starting point is 01:22:09 One group of people drinks a bottle of whiskey. There's also guys playing pickup basketball at YMCA, AJ. They're not in the NBA. Well, just a couple quick things about everything that's closing out here. As somebody that loves live shows, both from carnies that you were talking negatively i was not ty was also talking negatively i was not ever there's no way they're watching this by the way they ain't got time no they're doing something they kind of live like gypsies they kind of live in tents and they travel around yeah it's actually pretty um remarkable but what i would like everybody to know that
Starting point is 01:22:43 whenever you go to a state fair, don't be scared to just tip an extra buck or two to the guy that's handing you that goldfish that's going to die because you made a shot into a cup in the middle of that thing. Look out for those carnies. We need them. We need people that are willing to get into the hamster wheels in the sky for the rest of us to
Starting point is 01:23:00 survive. That's why I don't want us to bury this guy too much because I don't want to deter future potential carnies of risking their lives for our entertainment. What's that? It wasn't his fault. Whoever's running this goddamn thing, spraying that thing with WD-40 before he got on
Starting point is 01:23:16 there, slick as shit. He wasn't expecting it. I think there was a little bit of a wobble too. He's walking straight lines. They're having him fucking go ahead and I mean, look right there. He wasn't expecting that. That's never happened. Jeez.
Starting point is 01:23:29 Are we sure? There's no way to get out of that either. No. There's no way to get out of that. And I don't think you can hang on to it either
Starting point is 01:23:35 because you're getting chewed up by the... Wait, and it's coming back the other end. Yeah. Are we sure the guy who normally does it was sick that day?
Starting point is 01:23:42 It's like, hey, Joe, get the fuck in the thing. Joe, you've been watching this for how long now? Three, four weeks. You got it, right? You just got to watch. Just like the game. You know the trick, right, to this thing?
Starting point is 01:23:54 Yeah. Fuck it, I got it. Give me the bowling ball. Imagine bracing yourself to hit the ground, and then you just get whammy. Bang. Round two. Hey, thanks to that guy. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:24:07 There's a GoFundMe, which there's no way they know about GoFundMes. Just get him a carton of Marlboro Lights. He'll be good. Last two days. This is so disgusting because everything we are saying is accurate. But these are good people.
Starting point is 01:24:24 We love them. Great people. We have said. Great people. I don't know if they're good people, actually. I think a lot of them have potentially fallen to this position. Similar. And hit every rung on the way down.
Starting point is 01:24:36 Can't thank you enough for allowing us to penetrate your ear holes. Feel good Friday coming up. Mignana. Big time guests. Big time conversations. Tomorrow's show is a big show. If you enjoyed this show, please be a friend and tell a friend. If not, just act like it never ever happened.
Starting point is 01:24:52 Tomorrow's going to be a big one. Todd, please play some independent music and propel these people into a beautiful Thursday night before a massive smackdown with John Cena and Roman Reigns tomorrow night. I think they're probably going to have to square off, right?
Starting point is 01:25:07 The Olympics are about to start. Let's go. Let's have a day. Maybe the Olympics will start. Who knows? Let's have a Thursday and then a good Friday. Ty, please play some of that music. Cheers. សូវាប់ពីបានប់ពីបានប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់បានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបាូវាប់បានប់បានប់បានប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប់ប Thank you. សូវាប់ពីបានប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់� Thank you. សូវាប់ពីបានប់ពីបានប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់បានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបា Altyazı M.K.
