Hello beautiful people. It is Tuesday, April 5th, 2022 and this sports show begins right now.
Don't thank you enough for joining us. The body's feeling okay. This bruise is getting pretty gnarly
I guess. I don't know if it's all just kind of settling in. Last night, my neck and back hurt so bad to sit up.
I actually had to hold my head in place and lift me up.
Took a couple of big time shits, obviously, with how much I drank afterwards.
And my cheat meals did run into this morning.
I just finished up some French toast.
Good.
Got a new addition to the desk here.
Obviously, me and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Right.
In Dallas, Texas.
What?
What?
I'm going to go over here.
You go over there.
What?
What?
You know, he looked at Cheers me, and I didn't even look at him.
I watched it back.
That was a miss.
When we were up there, if I would have looked at him, like, what a moment that could have been.
That's amateur.
I fucked that one up nonetheless that's a great photo that I'll probably keep on
every desk that I ever sit on for the rest of my life shout out to Steve shout out to everybody
it was a dream come true weekend and then last night we got a chance to see a bunch of college
kids live their dreams and I you know I'm not a big college basketball guy, obviously.
I think everybody understands that.
And I've always said and lived by the code that if I wanted to watch bad basketball, I'd go to a YMCA or an LA Fitness or an Anytime Fitness here in Indianapolis
and watch people play.
There is amateurs playing basketball all over the place.
I don't really care about college basketball.
But then every single March Madness comes around,
and I'm completely hypocritical because I love getting into it.
Doug Eddard, I rode a Doug Eddard wave for like three days.
That guy kind of kept me going for a little bit with that goddamn mustache.
That entire squad over there, the stories are beautiful.
And the only team I didn't really pay attention to at all was Kansas.
Did not pay attention to them at all.
I don't know if they came from – I don't know if their particular bracket
was just like a very boring one.
I don't know if they played super late.
I didn't watch any of Kansas' games until watching them last night.
Those boys can run.
Oh, yeah.
Those boys run, Don.
Yeah, they do.
I mean, they actually play like an exciting brand of basketball.
I kind of wish I was watching them all year.
I feel like I missed out.
And then I know the one shining moment is a big deal.
That song stinks.
Yeah, it's terrible.
Okay.
That song.
Can we not remix that a little bit for 2022?
It's not a bad idea.
Who did it?
CBS?
TBS?
It was on TBS.
It was on TBS.
That's the Turner people?
Yeah.
Like, I get it.
It's awesome.
It's historic. I am It's on TBS. That's the Turner people? Yeah. I get it. It's awesome. It's historic.
I am not the college basketball voice.
My saying this is just as good as everybody else.
I'm not acting as if I'm better than anybody.
I'm not acting as if my opinion matters.
But I was watching that.
I was thinking to myself, we see content all day, every day.
Highlights, recaps, everything.
And it was cool to see.
And I get it is a one.
Can we not remix that thing just a little bit?
I mean, the song goes.
You know, it has its times.
It has its one shining moment.
And Jim Nance leading into it and the whole thing.
I mean, I get it.
It is very cool.
And it's historic.
And it's a little nostalgia.
But I feel like there should have been a couple.
Yeah.
Get NBA Youngboy on it.
Remix it.
Well, I don't know if we need NBA YB on there.
And I don't know if DaBaby would come in there and do his whole damn thing.
There's a couple.
Live show killer, DaBaby, by the way.
I follow him on Instagram.
Listen, I understand he has said some things
that is not what I necessarily agree with and everything,
but he is a rapper,
and there's a lot of things that rappers say
that aren't necessarily the most by the book.
I remember Rick Ross got in trouble
for a lyric in his song,
and it was a terrible idea he got in trouble for,
but there's numerous songs before that
where Rick Ross was like,
hey, I need like
a hundred
black coffins
yeah
because I'm gonna kill
a bunch
like
you know like
it's a
it's an entire
it's an
yeah
it's an entire
part of the business
yeah so
but with that being said
DaBaby
live show
imagine him coming out
in the middle of
One Shining
oh man here we go anyways that was just my takeaways at Tone Diggs Live show kill. Imagine him coming out in the middle of one shining moment. Oh, man.
Here we go.
Anyways, that was just my takeaway.
At Tone Diggs, hammered down.
Yesterday, you told me we're at Kansas.
Okay.
And that was Kansas minus four.
I took Kansas minus four.
Big money before the game started because Tone said it.
And, Gumpy, I saw you tweet that it was UNC all along.
Because yesterday, when he said he liked Kansas, you go, oh, you do your entire thing.
And I'm like, oh, so Gumpy agrees and Diggs agrees.
That was a different sound?
You did not agree with that?
That was actually a bark.
I was on the dog.
It was a bark.
Oh, my God.
How am I supposed to know between the gas up and the ooh?
I'll try and differentiate it a bit better.
It cost me five grand.
That reaction from you yesterday.
Literally, as I go in there, I'm like, Tone likes it and Gumpy likes it.
These boys both had Kansas and they had UNC coming out of the Final Four.
They're hot.
Gumpy's been watching all these terrible basketball games all year long
to get to this one shining moment.
So literally, as I put my bed, I had to pick my fucking head up so I could sit up in the bed.
And then I get on the FanDuel.
I log in, shows my face.
I get in there, and it's like two minutes before tip or whatever,
like three minutes before tip.
I'm like, oh, thank God I'm getting a bet on this.
Boom, Kansas minus four.
And I remember running through it all.
Diggs liked it.
Gumpy did a hoot in the back, which is, I believe,
his new grunt for he agrees.
I'm going big on this fucking thing.
I want 5x normal bet.
I'm like, yep, I like this. This is going to be
my one shining fucking moment here in
college basketball. And then as that game
went on, really quickly I realized
we're in deep shit.
Down 16.
That Kansas team. And they can
run. And I have a lot of respect for that UNC squad as well.
That guy rolled his ankle.
I mean, what do we even know?
What type of amateur hour are we going out there?
Kansas comes back and wins.
And if that kid doesn't run directly fucking out of bounds.
There you go.
Once again, I loved the game.
Sure.
I enjoyed watching it.
I had Raw on as well because it's Raw after WrestleMania.
Ezekiel made his appearance.
Shout out to Zeke!
Punk.
Yeah.
Good shave.
Hey, by the way, Elias went through our high school.
Did you know Zeke?
Zeke was your...
What grade was...
Zeke was probably a much younger generation.
I think he was younger.
I never ran into Zeke in the hall.
Yeah, never.
I think he...
Elias is younger, bro.
Much the same. Maybe your little bro. No, did your little... I don't know. he was younger I never ran into Zeke in the hall yeah never I think he he's Elias' younger brother so yeah
school
maybe your little
no
I don't know
I could text him
and see if
yeah
it makes sense
I'm gonna ask some other people
if their little brothers
or little sisters
knew of Zeke
walking around our high school
or whatever
they went to school with Butch
well maybe
maybe Butch
oh yeah
maybe they didn't go to our school
maybe he didn't go to our school
cause that's a traditional
um wood making name.
So maybe.
So you're saying he went to a vocational.
Well, but the way he looks,
he might have went to an academy or something.
Does he play music?
Oh, we don't know.
We have no idea.
Maybe he went to a school
with like no electricity and stuff like that.
Yeah, like a ministry or something.
Oh, Amish.
There it is.
Mennonite. I couldn't think of the word. Ezek like that. Yeah, like a ministry or something. Oh, Amish. There it is. Mennonite.
I couldn't think of a word.
Ezekiel is a real wood-making man.
Wood-making.
He does sound like a carpenter.
I can't do the throwback.
When I go back, that's when everything really hurts.
The whole body.
You should lock the back in on that chair.
I was talking to AJ.
I was talking to AJ.
He goes, oh, that's Dom's, dude.
And I said, excuse me?
He said, delayed onset muscle soreness. He's like, two days he goes oh that's Dom's dude and I said excuse me he said delayed onset
muscle soreness he's like two days after normal oh my god thanks doc anyways I was flipping back
and forth from raw and to uh the national championship shout out to the um seven nation
army hum from the audience when Austin Theory came out and during the NXT match I know that's
not necessarily for me. It is
a great song to go along, but it made me feel
good. It took me back to Sunday night.
Then I'm watching the National Championship.
They start singing as well. Once again,
this is not for me. I know it's not for
me, but every time I hear that song now
going forward, I am going to think of
AT&T Stadium
fucking going bananas. So I was bouncing back and
forth, and then we get to that fucking the end of the game.
It's after Raw.
I get to watch it all.
They're up three, four and a half seconds left.
Okay, here we go.
They just do inbound pass, foul.
Make both of them.
We're up five.
We're living.
Yeah.
Kid gets the ball, sprints right out of bounds.
I'm like, bingo.
I get upset.
That's why I just go watch these dudes at YMCA.
How is this guy running out of bounds
with four and a half seconds left
in the national championship?
There's people saying he didn't step out of bounds,
by the way.
Still, people are zooming in on the internet.
It appeared as if he stepped out of bounds.
And congrats to them.
It's awesome for them.
But as somebody who was betting on these kids,
mightily, by the way,
I'm like, just fucking stay in bounds.
We cover.
And then I look at Gumpy.
Gumpy's like, UNC plus four is never a down.
I'm like, this motherfucker. I thought we were timing it uh town i saw that a lot of people
accurately predicted the final score 72 69 people or something i seen uh us we should have won that
guy runs out of bounds just your take on all of march madness how to go gambling wise for everybody
for the books and kansas was the team that everybody thought was going to win this thing from the beginning and we just didn't watch any other
games or what happened kansas actually funny because i didn't know kansas in the tournament
either but because the first two games that they played were oh they were 11 o'clock games so we
didn't really get to night yeah yeah yeah oh that's bullshit they were like the last game the
first two uh but the dogs uh 35. Their main event. Their main event.
I guess, yeah.
That makes sense.
Dogs were 35 and 32 ATS during the tournament. So the Dogs did have, you know, a slight advantage in this tournament.
He's a fucking shit painter.
I got lucky last night.
Can we differentiate between your grunts next time?
That was expensive.
That was a costly.
I should have told you to do this as well.
If you thought Kansas was going to win, and this is what I...
I took Ogbaje to win
the player of the tournament or whatever, because he
was plus 125, and I figured if Kansas wins,
he's going to get player of the tournament.
So you can parlay those together.
Yes, he did.
It was a great tournament.
I thought so, too.
Like, a lot of good games,
a lot of guys made names.
Fucking Dougie's on his,
he's transferring now
to probably a Power 5 school.
West Virginia?
Maybe, potentially.
No, no.
West Virginia's so bad.
It'll go to, like,
Kentucky or Duke or something.
Doug can turn that school around.
He feels like,
I mean, Jersey's a big,
West Virginia, Jersey.
I mean, there's a pipeline
right there.
Yeah, West Virginia is actually the University of New Jersey in West Virginia.
Well, if Kiss goes, then I think Dougie will go with him.
He played at Bryan, which I believe is.
Give me Kiss.
Give me Dougie.
Give me.
Is McCormick allowed to come back?
He's a hell of a player.
Yeah.
Kansas last night.
Yeah.
Crutwig maybe.
Bring Crutwig out from Loyola, Chicago.
No, he's already in the NBA.
He's playing overseas.
He's in Serbia.
He's in the O.
He's playing in Belgium.
He's OBA.
Yeah, he's averaging like five and four.
Is he really?
Oh, yeah.
He's just learning the game.
It's a different game in the OBA, dude.
You don't fucking get it.
You never get it.
Well, Crutwig's fundamentally sound,
and that's kind of what the Europeans preach,
so I think it's more so the fact that he might be a step too slow.
Okay, I'm sorry.
I wish it wasn't true.
I want him to be a Boston Celtic, but shit, the guy just can't cut it.
I think W could probably get one of those McCaffrey kids from Iowa.
Nah, nah, nah.
Dad's a coach.
Free ride, free lunch.
You kidding me?
Just real quick, if they're actually on scholarship,
me and Mitt had a conversation about this
because his dad coached at numerous universities. Right. If they're actually eating scholarship me and mitt had a conversation about this because his dad coached at numerous universities right if they're actually eating up a basketball scholarship every
iowa hawkeye fan should be furious because i think they get to go to school for free anyways
because their dad's an employee of the school i believe so and i don't know i i think i know they
both at one time were i think the oldest one now who he's about to graduate but i think his last
two years he wasn't on scholarship and they gave it to someone else.
But I'm pretty sure the other one, the younger one, I believe he is on scholarship.
That's strictly, by the way, for him to say that he's on scholarship.
Right.
That's all that is because I think you can go to pay for this education that is being grossly upcharged,
and you'll never get the money back
in the amount of time that you need to
after you graduate from school,
and you're going to be in debt,
crippling debt probably for a long time.
But hey, you went to university,
and everybody that was there is obviously so intelligent,
not trying to cook you at all
and make you be in debt forever.
Good for you.
Nice people.
Universities.
They're doing it. Fucking Emmert, by the way. That fucking you. Nice people. Universities. They're doing it.
Fucking Emmert, by the way.
That fucking idiot.
What a moron.
What an absolute moron.
Ridiculous.
Absolute moron.
But anyways, I think they get to go for free.
West Virginia's turning around, so fuck off.
Okay.
Now back to you, though.
35 and 32, the underdogs.
Yes.
At one point, it was like 17 and 17.
And then it was like 22 and 22.
It feels-
The favorites started the tournament 10 and 0, I believe.
And then a massive comeback on day two.
Day two was huge for the Dawgs.
Whenever you think about money being lost,
how many people predicted 72, 69?
5,000, I believe.
That was at what?
23 to 1 or something like that?
No, no.
230 to 1.
Yeah.
We had a few tickets tweeted to us at Hammered Down. or something like that? No, no. 230 to one. Yeah. Yeah, plus 23,000.
We had a few tickets tweeted to us at Hammerdown.
It was like they won like, it was $5 to win, I think, like $1,155.
How do you feel about Hubie over at UNC?
I saw Roy in there protecting everybody.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wearing the mask.
Very nice of him to do that.
He's been doing that.
He's the only one.
He's safer and nicer and more responsible than everybody else in there
that's right trying to protect the kids let's let that you austin theory should have came out
with a mask on oh yeah that would have been super deal in texas too yeah that would have been good
oh my god but his face is so damn attractive right he comes out there with a mask on though
and refuses to breathe their air especially at this point like
i have hey i've done everything that i think we all have been forced to basically do everything
that has ever been pitched in this entire process to be responsible society members but
the people that are still doing the math i don't think i fully understand because
are they only protecting themselves at this point because i was just in a stadium with 80 000 people i didn't see one of them yeah it must be i did not see one of the
fallout numbers well that's is that what they're in are those because you know for a long time
you see some international travelers in the airport and they wear their masks regardless
and you know it always makes you go like what do they know? What is going on? Are they saving me or are they saving themselves right now?
Should I be breathing that air?
It tastes normal.
What the hell is going on?
And then now with the COVID, the introduction of the N95 and everything,
it became very natural.
But now you still see pockets of people still,
and we need to look into why that's still happening.
Why did Roy do it?
Is he scared?
I think they're here to stay, boys.
I think there are a lot of hypochondriacs out there that enjoy the mask
and the safety it brings to their house.
How in the hell?
So old school, yeah.
Old school is you just fist bump everybody.
Now you put a sign, you put a poster on there.
You're like, hey, don't even come for a doubt.
Stay the fuck away.
Please.
Who's that, Balga?
What's up, Zito?
I have rumors saying that he actually had a microphone under the mask talking to Coach Davis the fuck away. Please. This is not. Is that Bulga? What's up, Zito? I have rumors saying that he actually had a microphone under the mask
talking to Coach Davis the whole time.
That's why he was wearing the mask.
Funny you say that because you're a UNC class graduate.
One class.
Should Moore be talking about them giving up that 16-point line?
I understand.
I love being super positive.
The microphone gave out.
That's what I heard.
The mask?
Yeah.
Why are you slandering QB Davis?
I mean, the guy takes an A-seed to a national championship in his first quarter.
But Coach Roy is coach.
And I like the fact that he seemed to genuinely care about his players.
Oh, yeah.
We got live action, boss.
Yeah.
I love that interview.
Who is that from?
That guy who used to go snapping turtles.
Live action is from.
Oh, yeah.
I don't remember the guy's name, but I know what you're talking about.
That might be Turtle Man.
It took like a, that was like a two-year run, that live action.
Yeah.
So him bringing that back in the national championship,
I loved everything about it.
We got live action out here, Trace.
Thank you so much, blah, blah.
I love him.
Call the wild man.
Yeah, there it is.
I love him as a human.
I love him as a coach.
It seems like he's great.
But what did happen? I mean, that is a massive swing. And I was, they it is. I love him as a human. I love him as a coach. It seems like he's great. But what did happen?
I mean, that is a massive swing.
They were down.
I go to raw.
I come back.
It's a three-point game.
Dude in the corner has the longest windup for a three.
Little guy who scored 2,000 points that they were all pumped that pointed over
earlier in the game.
He was just thrown.
He was wet.
Splash, splash, splash.
Kansas is backward, tied. Kansas is back.
We're tied.
We're up.
I'm like, what the hell happened?
Who made the decision to flip that thing?
So for those of us that maybe didn't follow along every single minute of that
game, what was the turning point?
How did it happen?
Kansas just woke up?
Well, UNC, I believe, had 18-2 in second-chance points in the first half.
I mean, they were crashing boards.
They were getting inside.
And then in the second half, Kansas really fucking ratcheted
up the defense a little bit fucking manic.
He was hot in the
first half. Wasn't as hot in the second half.
Like I
said yesterday, when Kansas wants to go,
they got dogs. They run.
They weren't the dog.
But they had dogs. And when at
halftime, when they decided to turn it on they went
yeah it's fun to watch the end of that thing it was a blast i wish the kid would have stayed
inbound so we could fucking yeah maybe just don't be afraid to get fouled and you know
yeah what does he do he had nothing but space too it was a perfect play i'm like everybody should
run this play for an inbound pass whenever you need it seemed to be wide the fuck open and it
was a short pass it It was an easy pass.
Runs right out of bounds.
Let's move past that because, hey,
a kid's a national champion.
That's right.
Good work.
Congrats to him.
And the only reason why we're upset
is because we lost money.
You won a title.
Don't you worry about what us idiots talk about.
With that being said,
while the ceremony's taking place,
Mark Emmert cuts a promo.
There for a bit, I'm like,
this guy doesn't sound like the doofus
that we all assume he is.
Right.
Because a lot of the decisions that the NCAA has made
and a lot of that, and it's pretty corrupt in a lot of people's eyes.
I don't know 100% behind the scenes what's going on.
Just as somebody that had to go through the NCAA's world,
just the amount of hypocrisy that comes through there
and the punishments for what and everything.
It's just, I'm not a big fan of the NCAA.
It's probably pretty obvious as I'm speaking here but the basketball tournament march madness is an
incredible success every single year and they run it the ncaa actually runs that tournament so
we have to give credit where credit is due they pull off something magical every single year he
almost had perfect promo almost he was cutting promos for the fan because normally commissioner
gets up there or mark emmerich gets up there there's a natural boo reaction from everybody because like uh boo this
man yeah boo this lady who boo the hell out of this person who has probably put an unjust
sanction down on team that you love before or made a decision that affected your score your team
in a negative fashion in the past so you're naturally not going to like said person now
mark emmerich is a very hateable person to begin with because of everything that he
runs and stands for and the way he talks about it.
Now, the NIO is kind of changing a little bit.
And Mark Emmert, I thought, was having a little bit of a baby face turn because when he's
got these fans in this city and this stadium and boom, he's going.
And then now I'm going to hand it over to this guy who's going to hand a trophy off to Coach Bill Self and the Kansas City Jayhawks.
And then while that's happening, there's a boo now.
Yeah.
Because I believe the University of Kansas.
It's in Lawrence.
Yeah.
They probably do not like the Kansas City.
Kansas City is not in the same state.
And I think it is.
Especially with colleges, they're synonymous with the town that they're in.
NFL teams and professional teams, if there's a slip up there it's kind of like okay whatever but like people lawrence kansas is what kansas is you know like there's not a whole lot going around
around there like the university of kansas that's a big deal that it's in lawrence and yeah for him
to say kansas city a city that's not even in the same fucking state he was on a run though he was
he was fired up he didn't get booed off the mic immediately upon getting mic that had to feel Kansas City, a city that's not even in the same fucking state. He was on a run, though. He was. He was on a run.
He was fired up.
He didn't get booed off the mic immediately upon getting mic'd.
That had to feel good.
That never happens for Mark.
No.
Mark walks into every restaurant.
Somebody in there is like, boom, this guy.
Oh, this guy stinks.
Boom.
That's happening from the chefs at every diner he walks into,
something to everybody.
So him getting a good buzz there, getting a little bit of hype,
getting a cut of promo, oh, I'm perfect game they like me again let me fuck it up here we go
uh at boston connor college basketball your thing or no uh absolutely not and it definitely is even
less my thing now because i actually guessed the correct score 72 69 and it was 73 68 so i i hate the game more than i ever have
actually uh so i will not be watching is that next year oh yeah that's very real that would
happen oh yeah it would have happened i mean oh no you know sometimes no the amount of times it's
happened to me in the past you know seven months of those bets that are, you know.
It's Gable's interest.
Foxy just had the breakfast.
Aaron Hernandez in his underwear.
Yeah, that's how I felt, though.
Stupid fucking game.
I don't think you're going to like that.
Before we dive in here with Darius Butler, we're talking about FanDuel.
We were just introduced in our call with them.
They have this new thing called FanDuel FaceTime or FaceOff.
Yes, very cool.
FanDuel FaceOff.
It's available in 30 states.
I think you have to be eight, 21.
Probably dependent on the state.
Yeah, there's 30 states
because there's different regulations for each state.
Definitely 18 or up.
Yeah, I think some states might be 21.
Some states might be 18
on herps and shorts
in 30 states.
You can play like games
of skill
against other people
and make money.
Yeah.
Wheel of Fortune's in there.
You can play Wheel of Fortune
against somebody.
There's like a baseball
home run derby game.
Grand Slam Superstar.
Yeah, there's a
basketball game,
I think,
where you can shoot
where you're actually
playing against people
actually for money and it's available in more states than sports shoot, where you're actually playing against people actually for money,
and it's available in more states than sports gambling is,
and you're able to.
This thing is awesome.
Yeah, I played the Grand Slam one this morning, tested it out.
It's fucking sweet.
I'm going to sink so many hours into that thing, I can already tell.
And it is like there is a little bit of skill involved.
So the more you play it, you might be able to make some decent money out of it.
And it connects right to your account.
You're actually winning money though.
Yeah.
I was so impressed.
Unreal.
They,
they sent us an email last night.
They're like,
all right,
here's a agenda for tomorrow's call or whatever.
And I,
once you have to pick my fucking head off the thing to read through it.
And then I see at the bottom,
it's like a fan dual face off rollout.
Like we're big fans of this.
We think you will like it too.
If you don't,
don't worry about it.
If you do though, we'd love for you to mention it so in the meeting this morning i'm
our meetings are interesting i'm standing in our kitchen over here and it's on a zoom call
somebody was at the masters today i mean the calls are hilarious with them and as soon as they dove
into that i was like oh yeah i forgot about i downloaded it immediately and i'm like i can play
wheel of fortune against somebody right now?
And they're like, yes.
I'm like, fuck it, I'm in.
And they're like, the baseball one is actually one
that people are really enjoying
and then the basketball one,
everybody's falling in love with.
I'm like, this is going to be a problem, I think.
I might retire and just do Wheel of Fortune against people.
Full time, full time.
I don't even have to go on with Pat Sajak and Vanner
or anything like that.
I just do it on my goddamn phone.
Congrats, Vanduul, innovating it very nice.
Thank you, Vanduul.
There was a couple boosts there where we thought you were trying to, you know,
fuck over the people.
Yeah, a little bit.
We got back in there 68.
Both teams scoring 68 points.
Duke UNC this weekend.
That hit.
We're about to get in probably some more Penguins boosts.
Those are going to hit.
Obviously, the playoffs.
Bruins will never be boosted.
Well, they should.
I mean, we can't lose right now.
Well, that's not true.
When's your next game?
We got Detroit tonight.
I mean, we are.
Send a text.
I would like to boost the Red Wings tonight.
Oh!
Whoa!
Shit!
What?
I don't know if you want to do that.
What?
Well, plus, obviously, whatever.
Plus 10,000.
No, no, no.
Whatever they're getting.
Can we boost the bruins to score
10 goals boom minus 200 do it it's a layup joining us now is a man who was once big into hockey
okay uh he was once big big into hockey now he's an F1 fan. All right, because the Netflix documentary
Watch the Race. Nine-year
NFL vet, absolute
stud human being, host of the Man to Man
podcast. Ladies and gentlemen, Darius Butler.
Hey, fellas.
Fellas, fellas. What's up? How you doing, man?
Good to see you, boss. Hey, I'm
outstanding. It's race week
F1 Australia.
Lock in. Panthers still sitting at the top of that Eastern Division.
Lock in.
Hey, and congrats on an epic fucking weekend, too, man.
Thank you.
Thank you, D-Boy.
Epic fucking.
That's a dope-ass picture right there, too.
Legendary.
Hey, man.
Yes.
Yeah, that was.
I think Zito got me the.
The boys.
The boys.
The boys put this thing together when I walked in this morning.
There was a couple photos in there.
I'm like, that is the sweetest thing I think I've ever seen in my life.
You know, I tried to make this my Twitter, Avi, but they got that circle shit.
Yeah.
Fucked it up.
It did.
Yeah.
I'm still going to put it in there, but like Twitter, figure it out.
That's why Elon Musk is joining their board.
Elon Musk said, I'm going to put a billion in here.
I'm going to get 9% of this thing.
You guys are going to put me on the board board and we're going to turn this whole shitty
operation around.
You guys have a weapon here.
You don't know how to use.
Elon Musk is like,
I'm from another planet.
We wish we had this.
To be honest,
this is one of the only things that we don't have on our place.
Let's not fuck it up.
Hopefully he'll be able to do that in the circle.
Avi is just,
it's the most unproportional thing of all time.
I don't know how you're supposed to put a photo in there,
but I appreciate you D, but you're very nice a photo in there, but I appreciate you, D-Bud.
You were very nice with your text messages, too.
I appreciate you, man.
Hey, man, that shit was epic.
It was dope.
Wish I could have been there, but, man, watching it.
I'm glad I was in a safe place to enjoy that.
Just go back, flashback to about 13 years old.
That shit was dope, man.
Dope to see you living out a lifelong dream, too.
Everybody, I don't know what the numbers were, but I know it had to be crazy.
I had people hitting me from everywhere like, hey man, that white boy crazy as hell.
Dope man, dope shit.
I will tell everybody I said thanks.
I have not gotten back to all the text messages.
152 of them when I got out.
When I got it to my phone
Foxy had my phone in his pocket
Foxy was like hey this thing's been going crazy
So he gives it to me
I look down 152 text messages
I'm like well I'm not diving in there right now
No way
By the time I got back to the locker room
It was like 210 or something like that
It was just going like so thankful for everybody
I appreciate the hell out of the kind words
Indeed but I appreciate your friendship and for joining us.
And anytime somebody says that white boy, I am.
Oh, I take it as an honor.
That is an honor and a privilege.
And please tell everybody I said, what's up?
Let's talk about a little bit of NFL D-Bud.
There's a lot of things going on.
The Saints make a trade yesterday with the Eagles, a pick swap.
It's an interesting thing.
I don't know why the Saints did.
I guess the Eagles basically traded away all the It's an interesting thing. I don't know why the Saints did it. I guess the Eagles
basically traded away all the Indianapolis Colts
picks that they got, bundled it in
for a more package, and they might make
a play here to either trade up and continue
to move or try to bolster the
roster. I don't think I understand this
at all from either side. What are your thoughts
on it, D-Butt? Same. You know, I was
confused when I first saw it come across.
I was looking for the player that was traded. A lot? I'm saying, you know, I was confused when I first saw it, you know, come across. I was looking for the player that was traded.
A lot of people were saying, you know, maybe it's for next year.
Eagles want to make a play for a quarterback.
Some people were saying, you know, it's the tackles in this draft.
I don't know.
And when you're trading a bunch of picks, you know, everybody's saying also the Eagles fleeced the Saints.
I mean, we won't really know until we see, you know, who and what the picks are
and what they turn out to be a couple years down the line.
So, you know, these guys get obviously paid the picks are and what they turn out to be a couple years down the line. These guys get obviously
paid the big bucks to make these moves.
Hopefully, both teams win
in the end, but we'll see. The internet told me the
Eagles absolutely fleeced the Saints, though.
I don't know if I agree with that yet.
Congrats to the Eagles.
Thanks, Charlie.
I mean, the internet knows, dude.
The internet knows, obviously.
Rob Gronkowski,
he said, I'm not ready
to get back out on the field or make the decision
yet. Is there any chance he doesn't
play next year for Tampa, or is this him
trying to delay the inevitable when he gets
back to training camp and he's going to show
up with a video of him
sprinting one day wearing six different shirts, acting
like he's been in shape all offseason? What do you think
about Gronk? Do you think there's any chance he doesn't
play next year? No, I think Gronk's back. I think Tom's coming back pretty much offseason. What do you think about Gronk? Do you think there's any chance he doesn't play next year?
No, I think Gronk's back.
I think Tom coming back, you know, pretty much seals that.
He'll come back probably, like you said, closer to training camp or mini camp.
You know, him and Brady will have some other commercial with some big brand and a rollout.
But I think Gronk comes back and run it back one more time
and try to get another chip.
I like the fact that Gronk is like, eh, you know.
He doesn't have a contract yet, right?
Nope.
So this is all leverage.
Okay, he's building up leverage.
Every day that passes,
he builds up more and more and more and more
and more leverage.
He's not ready to commit,
which doesn't mean a yes or no.
Like, hey, I'm not Hermson Shore.
I'm not ready to get back out on that field yet.
Okay, well, nobody is.
So everything he's saying is perfect for him. And if I'm Gron to get back out on that field yet. Okay, well, nobody is. So, like, everything he's saying is perfect for him.
And if I'm Gronk, though, he's already on the NFL's first 100-year team
or 100-year team or whatever.
Oh, yeah.
He has all the Super Bowls in the world.
He's in the Hall of Fame.
He has all the money in the world.
He's proven he can leave and come back and have success in numerous places.
Maybe he doesn't.
You know, maybe.
It's a possibility. Like you said,
his legacy is definitely
C-minute. Arguably greatest
tight end of all time. You look at the numbers,
like you said, the championships,
at minimum on the Mount Rushmore
for that position.
Hey, you think he's the greatest?
Much more banged up than Brady's is.
I guess we'll see, but I think he comes back.
D-Bud, if we were to say Gronk's the best tight end of all time,
people get pissed off about that, huh?
Do you think actually or no?
No, not at this point.
Not at this point.
Especially, he came back.
It's not even like he was a bum on the Tampa team.
Like, he actually scored.
He scored in the Super Bowl twice.
He bought.
Oh, no.
Oh, no. Oh, no.
What happened?
I don't know who you're talking about in your off time,
but somebody hacked into your internet mid there.
You weren't in any awkward faces, though.
You know, AJ always gets caught looking like Undertaker's eyes.
Am I back?
Yeah, you're back.
You're all the way back.
You look great.
You sound great.
But you're right.
He wasn't a bum.
He scored two touchdowns in the Super Bowl.
He was able to accomplish things and keep it going i think i've said it for a long time but i mean my football iq is nowhere near yours or a lot of
people that talk in this whole thing he was just a funny about what three four guys in that argument
maybe yeah gonzalez you got gonzpe. I wouldn't put Gates there.
I personally wouldn't.
There's another guy I'm missing, though.
Shannon?
Shannon Sharpe's up there.
I guess Gates can be in the conversation.
Shannon's up.
Nah, Shannon won Super Bowls.
Yeah, I'd say Shannon, Gonzalez, Winslow Sr., maybe.
But I would go with Gronk.
Gronk gets my vote.
Jack Doyle, too.
But the thought, Travis Kelsey is working his way in there right now.
Dallas Clark.
Whitten.
Dicko, what?
Mike Dicko, top five pick.
How's he going?
Whitten is not in that.
Come on, man.
Who's that, Ty?
Yeah, everyone loves Whitten.
Whoa, just because of how he was a commentary.
Not that combo.
Whoa, whoa, geez. Not even close. Not Whitten. Whoa, just because of how he was a commentary. Whoa, whoa, geez.
Not even close.
Not even close.
No, not to that.
Come on.
I didn't know.
Wow.
Tony Romo loved him, dude.
Last thing for me before the boys have their questions for you, Darius,
we can't thank you enough for joining us.
Bobby Wagner, that contract comes out what, $50 million?
Yeah.
They say $50 million, $50 million dollars which is how they always report deals yeah well they used to report deals they used
to say what the grand fake number was fuguese number was if they cure covid they get everybody
to either wear masks or not wear masks and you catch 45 touchdowns you will obtain all of this
money right here.
And that's how they've always reported it.
And I think the NFL likes it
because it sounds like they're giving their players
a lot more money than they actually have to.
Anytime people think you're giving more money to people
than you actually are,
you probably are enjoying that.
Agents like it.
Because agents look like they negotiated deals
that are so massive and large.
And then once you get into the finer details,
it's like, oh no, actually, this is like a two-year 17 and a half million dollar deal that has 10 million
in guarantees now that wouldn't normally be a conversation but it became one because Wagner
negotiated this deal himself so he said he doesn't have anything against agents he just kind of
wanted to learn for future business and be a part of that which by the way bobby fucking shout out to you listen people are gonna get their hands in the pot no matter what if you
think you can do it yourself and want to do it yourself and learn and you get yourself 10 million
dollars fully guaranteed not that allegedly the ravens had more on the table and maybe an agent
or two that knows the lay of the landscape a little bit more could have got him more money
but i like the fact that bobby wagner took ownership and i enjoy good agents as well okay
good agents are good there's a lot of bad agents though so like that is something that should at
least be chatted about that became a whole thing because now the agent world that people are plugged
in with the agents are like he could have got a lot more money this guy should have had an agent
he's a bobby wagner's coming on this show tomorrow to talk about his new contract.
Here we go.
So I can't wait to chat with him.
He'll be on here tomorrow.
Your thoughts on the whole process, him going back to L.A.,
and the way it's kind of unfolded publicly here.
I mean, it was a great situation, obviously, football-wise to win.
That's going to be a better situation, I think, than the Ravens.
When you get him on tomorrow, you've got to ask him about why the hell he went to 45.
I got to –
Hey.
That's a great number.
Put that graphic – Zito made a graphic earlier.
Look, that doesn't look like him.
No.
Yeah, that 45 stink, man.
I mean, White pulls it off down at Tampa.
I don't know.
Maybe he'll switch it up after training camp, but we'll see.
Maybe he'll make it look good in ball.
Yes, he's going to. Yes, he's going to.
Hey, he's going to have balls.
There he is.
45 at linebacker, that's –
But, I mean, all-time great player, first battle Hall of Famer, Super Bowl champ,
a guy I would love to have in any locker room and on the field.
He's like a defensive coordinator on the field.
Obviously, may have lost a step physically uh but always know where to be uh mentally and uh every every player you know can't represent themselves i think bobby
his last deal i think he negotiated he was the highest paid linebacker in the league obviously
at a different point in his career now and you know once a player negotiates their own deal
like you said i think because of these agents and their relationships to insiders and tv people and all
that shit guys like florio are gonna jump in there and dive into every damn detail in the contract
it's a one-year 10 million dollar deal he's older like i said lost a step on a good team i think it
was a decent deal for itself everybody can't do it but bobby wags obviously took initiative and
he said this will probably set him up for, you know, later in life, post football, you negotiating business deals.
So I think in the long term, even in the short term, Bobby Wagner will be just fine.
I'm happy for him. I can't wait to chat with him tomorrow.
And to echo your point, there are some great agents out there.
Not everybody should be handling their own business.
I've been very fortunate to work with some agents, some good, some bad.
And then I've gotten to the point now where it's like,
all right,
I would like to hear these people talk directly to my face.
If they got something to say,
like,
Hey,
what,
if you want to do this,
I would like to hear it.
I don't need to hear the third party trying to decipher how to deliver the
message to me.
I would like to hear it directly from you,
but I think I'm a much different person than a lot of people.
A lot of pride in Bobby Wagner doing this.
And he's taking
it on the shins from the agent community and it's like let's are we going to point out every
fucking terrible deal that's been created then all right we can do that they don't do that if
you want me to if you want me to on this show start dedicating like a good five ten minutes
every single day to terrible deals that i've been a part of or i've seen other people a part of we
can do that too if you want to media all right agent agent media people a part of. We can do that, too, if you want to, media. All right?
Agent media.
I would let you know we can do that every single day.
Or we can have a little fucking respect for Bobby Wagner taking a little ownership himself.
Go ahead, Ty Schmidt.
Deebo, we've heard a lot about the Honey Badger and how a bunch of teams are interested in him.
Why don't you think we've heard as much about Gilmore?
It seems like every team needs a good cornerback.
He hasn't really lost a step, I don't think. Why is it that very few teams have seemed like
they're interested in Stephon Gilmore? I've been seeing some teams connected to him,
but it's just that age. Even with Honey Badgers, once you get around that 30 as a defensive back,
more so at the corner position than the safety position
especially the style of play that you're going to want when you bring a guy like gilmore in and
probably the number that he's going to demand he's going to be a guy that you want matching up with
number one receivers uh being able to shift defenses and leave them on the island so um some
teams may not be as interested in that position and as a corner you'll see some value kind of get
uh thrown around because more
defenses are going to too high safety looks now so it's less stress on corners so unless you're
in a system like uh the dolphins where you got a guy like um howard who is on an island and turns
the ball over you i think you're gonna see the number of corners getting massive deals uh
unfortunately probably drop so let's talk about x talk about Xavier Howard getting a deal there with the Dolphins,
a two-year deal.
By the way, his last deal negotiated by an agent aged terribly.
So nobody's talking about that.
Hated it for three years.
Nobody's talking about that, right?
That's obvious.
So he got a new deal.
His last deal he wasn't happy with.
His last deal he wasn't happy with that an agent negotiated, right?
It's always like, hey, his last deal he wasn't happy.
Interesting narratives. It's kind of rubbing me the wrong way but let's feel let's follow how do you
feel about trading within the division there davante parker going the xavian howard deal
takes place davante parker ends up in new england i feel like that's a big win for the new england
oh yeah like a huge win for the patriots right and mac in Mac Jones? Yeah, I mean, what is this, year eight, nine for Parker?
Incredible.
That long?
If he gets eight.
I think it's the eighth year.
Oh, shit.
Haven't really lived up, I would say, to his expectations.
Obviously, hasn't had a great quarterback,
all-line offense, all those different type of things.
And as a receiver, the most dependent position on the field.
But if you're just looking at talent-wise,
which obviously Belichick just looking at talent wise which
obviously belichick looking at him and seeing him in division twice a year he's probably like okay
i can do something with this guy they gave up a high pick to get him uh and they need kind of that
guy that can go up and make those type of plays i've been on the basketball court with this dude
and one of the best athletes i've seen so if he can stay healthy i think it can be a great trade
for the patriots surprised to see to see the Dolphins trade him
in the division. That was definitely
surprising. But you knew Parker
would probably be the eye guy out once they made
that move, bringing Hill over,
signing Cedric Wilson.
Who else? And then obviously
drafting Waddle last year. So you
kind of figured Parker would be on his way out.
Hey, he locked you down, huh?
Nah.
Well, you know, I don't want to put too much defense in pickup ball.
But just him up and down that court, dude, like, dude was impressive.
Very impressive.
You still getting buckets or what?
I saw a video of you last week, but two fat, bland whites stood right in front of the cell phone there for a little bit and ruined a couple of shots.
Yeah, I still, you know, I still find a way to get in there.
But, yeah, I'm kidding.
But, you know, you got to keep those.
Everybody can't get in the ring and go on WrestleMania and shit.
You got to keep those competitive juices flowing.
I heard you talking about bad brand of basketball.
We got a quality brand of basketball down here, 24-hour fitness.
So, I go and get my reps in every week.
Hey, it was sweet, D, but, like, you but to have to do something in front of a lot of people.
That's a mental, you know what I mean?
I don't know how to describe it.
A lot of people.
Yeah, but when you're in front of a lot of people
and you're live,
it's like, okay, there's no re-dos.
There's no re-dos.
And it's the first time I've had to do something like physical in front of a lot of people in some time.
Felt good, D-Butt.
Felt good to be back out there.
Like, hey, got to go.
And that punt, I fucking, I tried.
That jump to the top rope.
And, you know, I've seen you do it.
But that jump in the J's, in the skinny jeans.
All jeans are skinny jeans, D-Butt.
Hey, on these legs, all jeans are skinny jeans.
You hear me?
AJ Dillon, by the way.
I don't know what his ass is saying.
Hey, applesauce, fucking pipe dye.
Okay?
He tweeted, Pat McAfee's got some small quads.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I disrespect.
Yeah, absolutely.
Listen, I'm retired, dude.
All right?
Don't you worry about these damn ham hocks right here.
Okay?
Damn it, AJ. Go ahead, Todd. All right. Oh, no, I'm sorry. Go ahead, Connor. I'm retired, dude. All right? Don't you worry about these damn ham hocks right here. Okay? Damn it, AJ.
Go ahead, Todd.
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
Go ahead, Connor.
I'm sorry.
D-Butt, just to answer your question, Devontae Parker actually chose New England.
Okay?
The Cowboys were all sitting on him, and he said, hey, I want to go play for Bill and
catch passes from Mac.
But Sauce Gardner said, he tweeted, I'm the best player in this draft.
Do you like that coming from a young corner, coming out of college, going into the NFL?
Do you think that kind of almost puts like a target on his back to get absolutely toasted by guys?
No, I mean, that's what you're supposed to say, you know, in the draft.
He's the number one corner, I think most people would say.
In this draft, obviously, he's put up the film.
He's backed it up throughout the whole process.
So that's what you're supposed to say.
The guy, Thibodeau, the pass rusher coming out of Oregon,
has been very confident, super confident, which turns off some people.
But being in that locker room, that's the mindset you got to have.
Some people keep that inside.
Some people talk out loud.
As a corner, you got to have that type of mindset.
You got to have that short-term memory.
When you get beat, you still got to line up again just like pat was talking about doing a lot of shit
in front of a lot of people week in week out he's going to be matched up with you know chase
jefferson uh whoever else that's dominating league of receiver on and island every week so you got to
have that type of confidence i don't think that'll turn off evaluators or um or guys are going to be drafting at all i mean i love it did you ever have a chain that had uh d-butt just like iced
out on did you ever have that and why why not if not no i mean i i you know i i had i had a chain
which was a rookie mistake that definitely a rookie mistake i had a big chunk and a lot of
these guys before the process before they drafted it go out and get it
You know with you know different obviously lines of credit and all that shit before you actually get your money
Which I wouldn't advise but some people think they're going, you know top ten may slip to the second round
But after I got money, I definitely went out and bought some dumb shit
But I mean everybody got to go through it
You know you get off your chest but not deep what I'm against customized jewelry because once you go to sell it or sell it back
they're gonna uh kind of tax you on that because they got to know it down and redo all the shit so
just go get you a nice little chunk but something simple that you can swap out this is gonna sit on
the shelf how many d butts are out there you know because he had he had that sauce he had that sauce
chain that he was wearing at the
combine i was like oh i fucking love this guy i have no idea i have no idea how much that costs
if that's real or not i do not know either way if it is or if it isn't awesome that he wore this
and it seems like he's more confident than any other person out there he looks smooth too and
all of his and he's tall he's athletic yeah yeah i bought an escalade the day i was drafted didn't
get a check for three months.
Almost got that thing repoed.
So, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a mistake.
It's a mistake.
It's a mistake.
It looked good, though.
It did.
It was, hey, I had that thing.
Hey, it was on 24s at one point.
I had that thing on all blacked out 24s.
I used to drive that thing into the fucking ground, too.
I used to drive that thing like it was a goddamn Honda Civic.
You know, I would drive back to Pittsburgh every single weekend. single weekend why don't you fly no me and the caddy me and the caddy are taking a trip i fucking love that thing go ahead tom debutt there's some
news coming out of the 2019 wide receiver class uh there's some smoke terry mclaurin dk mccaff aj
brown uh do you think any of those guys potentially get moved? And if you were looking for a wide out, which one of those three would you be looking for?
Titans, I had to follow up.
Titans said A.J. Brown is not available.
Who is just smart.
You know, that's really their only receiving weapon.
But Terry, Terry out of us.
Gary Terry out of Washington, man.
If you look at the roster of quarterbacks that he's played with
throughout his career, he's ball.
He's produced year in, year out.
So that will be the guy.
If I can go get any one of these guys, you know,
he's going to make a tough contested catch.
He can affect the passing game on all three levels, short, intermediate, deep.
He's an ultimate locker room guy, too.
Great leadership ability. so i'll go
terry mack uh easily out of uh washington hey let's talk about but he's with carson though so
he's not going to want to leave you're right true is that why teams are looking at terry what has
it been because they they're under congressional investigation why like why are they watching the
terry mclaurin situation i think it's just because these guys are going into the last year of their rookie contracts
and they do not have an extension yet with the current teams that they're on.
So, like Brandon Bean told us, like, oh, maybe they're not happy with the situation.
Hey, we can give you something for this guy.
Speaking of Bean, I saw some talks about Diggs, too.
You know, obviously with the market at the, you know, elite receiver market up there at 28 plus right now,
they probably won't have the money to pay Diggs, so he might be available.
So, Ballard, make the call, man.
Oh!
Yeah, yeah.
We need a weapon, by the way.
We need at least one of these weapons.
At least one.
He's going to be the perfect guy.
God, imagine.
He's already there for Josh.
Oh, imagine Matt Ryan. How handsome he's
going to look back there next to Jonathan Taylor
with that offensive line.
You got Diggs and
Scary Terry.
Wait till you see DK.
It's going to be
trips and it's going to be fucking Terry
McLaurin, Stephon Diggs, and
DK Metcalf. Good luck. They're going to be trying to jam. They're going to be trips, and it's going to be fucking Terry McLaurin, Stephon Diggs, and DK Metcalf.
Good luck.
They're going to be trying to jam.
They're going to be running rubber.
I mean, it is.
And then Matt Ryan is going to throw that thing as soon as he gets it,
as far as he can.
And it's just going to be touchdown city, dude.
Frank Wright's going to do it, yeah.
Yeah, probably not, but, you know.
All right.
The commanders are fucked, D-Butt.
Have you heard this?
Two books.
Now, they have come out and said, this is not true.
This is actually slanderous, I believe is what they said.
A disgruntled employee.
Yeah.
But then, I guess half of the committee that would be investigating this.
Look at this guy.
Anybody fucking believe this guy?
He doesn't even have his mask on.
I mean, this guy, cover your nose, please.
Flight attendant woke me up on my flight back. I cannot believe this guy, cover your nose, please. Flight attendant woke me up
on my flight back. I cannot
believe that still to this day, but this
guy has obviously not done things
as morally
acceptable as a lot of people would expect that
had worked there, and he has a lot of exposés.
He's come out and said that it's completely
false, and somebody who ever
says that is committing perjury,
plain and simple. That's via Ari Mirov at MySportsUpdate. I guess half the committee, though, it is
both parties represent this committee that's investigating this entire thing.
And I guess some members of the committee came out and said this happened. And then the other
people came, like other party or whoever was also in there was like, we're not 100% sure this is true i believe if i read that if i read that right so there's a lot of mixed reporting and who
knows what's real and what isn't but it feels like once the money thing becomes a problem that's when
shit really starts to fall down that that's when start happening i don't do you feel are you feeling
it the same way you know once the government get involved and they feel like you know they're
getting cut out of the deal that that's going to fuck everything up.
So, I mean, the city stadium, all the other allegations that he should have probably been out of the league for at this point anyway.
But, you know, Snyder, he's tied in with the right people.
So, it's interesting to see how this will all play out.
The people he's tied into with, D, but now that's what they're alleging is that he was lying
to the other owners too so there was a part of this where he was lying about the revenue that
he was receiving from ticketing to the other owners because they got to share that pot or
whatever yeah so it's not only the government's like interested in the two books now also
allegedly publicly his partners business partners also getting lied to and then some people from
that same committee came out and said this isn't true i'm like how the fuck okay how can you this is the problem this is the problem
same committee investigating the same thing one group of people's reporting that this has been
completely bullshit same committee investigating the same thing came out and said uh we don't know
if that's true how how what do we know what's real and what isn't at this point, D-Butt?
Hey, if you're cutting out the government,
you're cutting out other billionaires,
I'm sure they'll get to the fucking bottom of it.
I'll tell you that much. Yeah.
We appreciate you, D-Butt.
Can't wait to see more of you.
Hey, this upcoming season
is going to be a lot of Darius Butler.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, we can't wait.
We're thankful for you,
the host of the Man of Man podcast,
nine-year NFL vet,
ladies and gentlemen, Darius Butler.
Elon, get your ass
in there and let's go. Hey, listen, Elon.
Making a block.
Elon, I've been pushing Elon a lot
about the jetpack. Like, hey, get me a
so I can just
he can create that. I need him to do that.
Now he has to figure out Twitter, I guess,
before he can do that. But there's a lot of pressure on you, Elon. Not that there hasn't been your entire life here on
planet Earth as an alien from another planet with a big old brain. Twitter is my favorite place.
I love Twitter. And the idiots that run Twitter have no idea what Twitter is, it feels like.
Elon gets it. Elon knows the game. Elon's going to get in there and tell you. We appreciate you, Elon.
Thank you, Elon.
Twitter's the best.
Yeah.
It really is.
By far.
It was the only platform I actually dedicated all of my time to,
which hindsight, probably not a good business move,
but here we are, right?
Probably should have gone on YouTube a long time ago
because it is such a great platform
and you're able to profit off it.
And you know, you got to really work YouTube. You got to keep going so that they know that you're going to be there the algorithm is a very real thing you hear Mr. Beast talk about it with Rogue
and you hear about basically every YouTuber that's ever made a real living being like hey you got to
you got to play YouTube like you got to actually do YouTube for us I don't think I know all the
ins and outs of it I'm not an expert. We got Billy tubes programming back there and coding Foxy obviously helps. Everybody helps out. You just
got to show up though. Like YouTube is like, Hey, you got to show up here. And if you do,
we understand we'll put some trust in you. The algorithm will do its thing. So I should have
probably been doing that for a long time. Instagram, never my thing, mostly because of my
face, you know, mostly because of my face, I didn't do a lot of Instagram, never really understood,
mostly because of my face, you know?
Mostly because of my face.
I didn't do a lot of Instagram, never really understood.
But Twitter was my bait.
Like I was on Twitter so much time. For those 27 months where I wasn't allowed to drink, smoke,
or basically hang out with my friends
after I got in trouble for an alleged incident that happened,
Twitter was just basically all I did.
Because if I was to leave, all my friends went out still.
Everybody in my circle went out.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
Sorry, dude.
Yeah, it's all right, man.
It was a long two years.
But you guys, I tried once to go out with them and just drink water.
But when you're the guy that is normally like, hey, 100 shots, let's get after it.
And then all of a sudden you're the water drinking guy.
I was uncomfortable.
I was awkward, which I think made everybody else awkward.
So I was like, I'll just see you guys in fucking two years dude i gotta yeah i gotta stay so i would
see them during the day but then whenever they were living their life i twitter just became like
what i did you know it was a not the most easy time in my life but i started diving in there
starting to get it and understand it was built perfectly for me and then as it continued to grow
there was one time where they almost went bankrupt i'm like how the fuck are you guys going bankrupt
when it is such a good platform? And then they started selling out heavy
there for a bit. It felt like the Kardashians kind of took over Twitter for a while, became
tabloid Twitter. And that's not what Twitter is about. They kind of re rewriting the course,
but then they lost their way again. Whenever all the politics started, not listen, people are going
to get into politics. It's a very serious thing serious thing but for a platform i feel like they just really dropped the ball for a while yeah and it was
twitter started getting smeared like oh fake news both sides like twitter is the reason this is
happening twitter is the reason this is happening i think there is a safe space in there on twitter
where we can really make that a beautiful place as opposed to the opposite i've always been a
firm believer i think elon musk is as well and that's good news that he's in there yeah for sure can you I can't even imagine like the time before we had Twitter where it's like
you go like how did you even get news you know what I mean because it really is like hey if I
need to figure out something I'm not going anywhere but Twitter I don't google things I go to Twitter
and search right and Twitter like has the the basic figured out for me Twitter is awesome I
mean obviously you google things where
you need to find out how to spell a word or synonyms for something or something like that
but if something's happening in the world you go to twitter searches you're going to find that
answer much quicker much more efficient and much more detail and multiple sides of it too you know
like this person's why is this person pissed about it why is this person pissed about it it's
it's a beautiful thing i hope they i hope they make it like a a place that everybody loves to answer your question before that you sat down
at your table you opened up the paper you had your black coffee and a cigarette and you found
out your news that way okay yeah why don't you fucking maybe be you know just a man for one
i did used to read the paper i'm not drinking the coffee i'd enjoy a cigarette in the morning as well
with the paper you know but i mean I don't want to do that.
I'd rather just look at my phone.
I love when the nightly news.
So whenever Twitter was really growing and going,
I had a nice assortment of people I followed where I get news from everywhere,
even North Korea there for a while. When things were popping off, I had a good plug in North Korea
that I was following on Twitter.
Now, once again, who knows if that's real or not.
Right.
I'm just going to say how they do that.
Who knows if that's real or not.
But I would know everything happening in the world by 1 p.m. or 2 p.m.
And then the nightly news comes on at like 7, and they're like,
tonight breaking news.
And I'm like, nah.
That was 11 a.m., bro.
Yeah.
What the fuck?
You were already behind.
This thing's already over, man.
I don't even know if that's the case.
Them having to adjust and become more sensationalized bullshit as well.
Twitter has changed everything. And I'm happy Elonon musk is in there and i love it and with the block and
mute features too i understand there's a lot of bullies and assholes in the world and i concur
and they shouldn't even be allowed on twitter don't be scared to block somebody man if you
want to just get somebody out of your life you're not soft for that you're actually a much stronger
human because you were choosing your own happiness over
dealing with somebody else's fake bullshit.
That is an incredible feature that needs to be exposed more.
And if somebody gets blocked or muted by a numerous amount of people, like Twitter should
automatically just send them into Twitter purgatory, Twitter jail, where you're in there
with all the other assholes, basically.
That is a good idea.
Yes.
Like, hey, if there's this person, because there's some people that celebrate being blocked
by people.
Yeah. And they're like, oh, I've's this person, because there's some people that celebrate being blocked by people. Yeah.
And they're like, oh, I've been blocked by 100 people or whatever.
If your numbers are up there, it's like, all right, you're fucking off.
See you later.
No new accounts either from this particular IP.
Like, we can make it a good place.
It's like Grand Theft Auto.
If you're really bad on the lobbies, they throw you in the bad boy lobby.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, let them have their own little games.
See who can survive in there.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Let's make this place awesome.
But that's quite a tangent we just went on to get back to a guy that does not use Twitter.
No, never.
A guy that has no idea what Instagram is.
Sure.
He has an account, and Miller paid him to use it one time, but he has no idea what's
going on over there.
He's a Super Bowl champion, college football national champion,
COVID survivor, and part-time booker for the show.
Ladies and gentlemen, AJ Haas.
What's up, dude?
I am the booker for the stars, aren't I?
I really got one today.
Also, hey, first off, I saw the last 10 minutes.
Sorry to Colton Ost if I lost him his dream job that he got at CBS by us making it public
that CBS would not let him come on.
He was scheduled to come on, and he said he didn't say CBS would never let him on.
I guess he said he can't do any interviews this week during Masters Week, I guess.
Okay, yeah.
So, you know, we'll get him after.
Get him after.
That would be great.
You know what I mean?
I'm not saying it makes any sense.
I just hope it doesn't get him in any hot water.
I'm for the QVC.com memorial.
Yeah, here we go.
Don't they hear that, though?
Like, does someone say that out loud?
I'm like, oh, wait, that doesn't make any fucking sense.
It happens all over the place, though.
People are so dumb.
Oh, my God.
These are the people, by the way, we just went on a long rant about it,
that don't like.
Breaking news.
They have no idea how things work.
And all we're doing is
promoting the masters and what they're doing and what cbs is doing and driving people to the
to watch the program and they don't need us i understand the masters they definitely don't
they do they do not need us like we're very lucky we'd be very thankful to touch them that dude's a
fan dual guy though too i'm assuming a lot of motherfuckers had no idea who he is like i
no offense i assume the golf community knows him. Former player.
Absolute stud.
I heard he's very good on a microphone.
I was like super excited about it.
CBS is like, nah, we don't want anybody to know that he's good or who he is.
Yeah.
Please fucking get over it.
Let's talk about the Masters, AJ.
Tiger Woods is playing, dude.
He's going to win that thing.
Of course.
I mean, guaranteed victory, right?
What's that about?
I'm not being facetious here, but if Tiger's playing,
I do feel like, all right, hey, let's see.
If he makes the cut, I'm like, okay, yeah,
this dude's going to win the tournament.
Yes, so you kind of said that condescendingly there early.
I'm saying if he's healthy enough to make the cut,
which means if he can make the cut, we'll probably know
early on, and he's healthy enough, because
what he has done, you're forgetting
the back surgery that he had just had before
he got the wreck, too. He has so many things he's dealing
with, but if he can physically
kind of make it through the first
couple days and make the cut and be somewhat
in contention, bam, he's winning.
Do you think they reset everything when they went in there?
Like, hey, this is going to be a big surgery,
so we might as well just start you from scratch here.
Just rebuild yourself up.
He's saying he's still sore, I guess, whenever he's golfing.
He's battling through some pain.
So maybe it wasn't just a full correction.
But they probably had to fix a lot of shit that they had already gone in there
and fixed very recently.
And his rehab probably just started all over again from the very beginning.
The rehab he has had to have gone through from that moment to now, very recently and his rehab probably just started all over again from the very beginning the rehab
he has had to have gone through from that moment to now i would like to make sure we reiterate
had to be fucking awful terror like the amount of pain he's had to go through to get to this moment
he's probably battling through a lot and exciting 4 a.m in the morning though re-teaching your back
how to be a back and everything every muscle in
your body building back up all your joints his legs i think were fucking both broken yeah so i
mean the amount of rehab he's had to go through to get his muscles back they said he was still
spinning or his velocity was like 160 or 170 miles an hour which is i think up it's not as fast as
he once was but it's still pga this dude's a machine aj he's a fucking machine that
guy yeah i mean it's he took over golf like he changed golf for all the time and now it even
happened i mean when was when was tiger rolling where he was winning multiple like tons of
tournaments every year early 2000 yeah late 90s into early 2000s probably so a lot of people
haven't seen it like when tiger was really
rolling i know i did i was i was a kid and i got to see him and it was like okay i didn't watch
much golf but we all started watching golf especially on sundays because tiger was probably
gonna win and it was gonna be cool to watch yeah i think tim mcafee got into golf mostly because
the tiger run but also like john daly i think brought a lot of people in and then tiger woods captivated all
the hell this is the fuck here's the guy yeah here's the guy though like i think that happened
to a much larger crowd than they had ever had in the past and they had to deal with it you know
they had to learn how to utilize it and the tiger effects became everything he was doing was getting
marketed huge so the machine got behind tiger as well as as it should have. And now we're watching documentaries
where he's been swinging in his garage
since he was like a tiny little kid,
making putts.
He was, I didn't know he was groomed
to be what he did become.
So like, congrats to him.
Yeah, Tiger.
Sacrifices childhood basically for all this.
And obviously he got caught up in some controversy
and that's going to happen when you're a megastar
ever since you're a kid
and you're not going to handle everything properly,
and he's fucked up, and I assume he has admitted that.
But there was like 40,000 people watching him in the practice round yesterday.
A couple years ago, whenever he made the run at the Masters,
it was the most must-watch thing.
He still got it.
You still got it.
This dude still has the juice.
That's Monday.
That's Monday when the first competitive round is not until Thursday.
I understand it's the Masters, but the majority of, I mean,
has any other tour pro ever had a gallery like that for a real round,
for a Sunday round where they're 20 deep?
Bro, look how sick that looks.
Imagine having like this type of photo, but that.
Does Tiger just walk down the hallway of like,
remember when he almost got tackled in that one fair play?
Like out of a movie.
He had to to the entire
it's he's unbelievable i'm so happy for him but once again his rehab to get back to this point
has had to be some of the most miserable shit of all time every day waking up knowing it's
gonna suck going to bed knowing tomorrow's gonna suck all so he can have this moment
good on him aj fucking good on multiple back
surgeries too and anyone that i am lucky that i've never had a back surgery i know how terrible it is
to have back issues it affects every single aspect of your life but after you have one back surgery
you're never the same tigers had how many five six they just keep going in there yeah man listen
as somebody who has a little back neck thing going on right now, AJ, because of this, what did Brock say?
Holstein cattle-sized head.
He described it.
I got a Holstein cattle-sized head.
And he does, by the way.
He has a big head.
You have a big noggin.
I also have a large head, large cranium.
So picking it up off the pillow last night was,
I had to wake up and piss.
And I went to sit up and it was like, oh, my God.
I can't
i had to i had to like tricep pull my head up with my body last night and i'm like these are some
this is some people's like existence like there's some people that feel that like good though didn't
it probably feels it kind of feels good like hey yeah man i did something yes like this is i mean
being shorter it's good like being sore yeah cool like oh man oh he's so sore hey i did something yes like this is i mean being sore it's good like being sore yeah cool like oh
man oh he's so sore hey i did something this one hurts more than anything else i got on my whole
body is that burn burn yeah oh yeah i think it's when i did that the back elbow which was clean
that was very clean it was yeah that was awesome and then i saw him standing there i'm like oh
shit i've seen somebody do this before. Fucking Hurricane Rana.
Give me it.
Give me that thing.
One.
Oh, God.
I got this goddamn guy.
Come on, Pat.
I was too excited.
Yeah, Michael Cole was awesome.
I just watched my match back for the first time this morning.
I hadn't seen it.
How'd you like it?
I mean, I didn't want to watch, to be honest.
Michael Cole was like, will you please watch?
Because Michael Cole had maybe his best call of all time.
And big shout out to him and Byron Saxon.
But Michael Cole was awesome in there.
I mean, he was fucking awesome in there.
It was cool to hear.
But there was a lot of things I completely forgot happened.
When I would go out to punt on a field, I would just kind of go in, whatever.
And I don't want to say black out.
But I'd come back off the field. And alongside, let's say it was Overton or Justin Snow, be
like, how was the snap?
I'm like, man, I have no fucking idea.
I couldn't even tell you, dude.
I think it was good, I think.
I get it.
I get it.
Yeah, like, literally, that's what happened.
Same thing happened in the match, basically.
Like, I went in there, and then, like, I remember walking out and, like, looking around, but
then once I started walking, I don't remember much from that entire point.
Then, obviously, you know, getting stunned is a moment you do recall.
Hey, I'll go up there.
You go over there.
I'll remember that forever.
That whole thing was pretty sweet.
But a lot of it I did not recall.
The fans were fucking awesome.
Hey, those fans were incredible.
It was so much fun and i forget how
we got into this but i watched it back this morning for the first time i'm so so thankful
yet again yeah like when we were watching it this morning you didn't even realize that during the
match when like if theory was starting to like wail on you that the fans started to jump back in
with the i realized that this morning i'm'm like, oh, my God.
That was happening.
I couldn't even hear that.
I had no idea that was taking place.
It was awesome.
After the Hurricane Rana one, too, I was kind of feeling myself a little bit.
Rightfully so.
I was kind of feeling it.
I'm like, God damn, I just did a fucking Frankensteiner.
I mean, what are we even talking about?
Is that when you jump up and your legs go over his head and you flip him?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't even know how to describe it.
Yeah, so right leg got good.
Left leg only around his shoulder here.
I think I'd get him to one, two, three if I locked that thing all the way in.
Because when you're doing it, you're kind of pinching both sides of the neck, too.
So it's a little bit hard to breathe and you're getting flipped right i didn't i didn't hit as clean with the
left leg didn't get all the way up but you know next time next time it's still sitting in there
should use the moss strap well that mouse what if you'd have flipped up the apron and pulled
that sucker out from underneath sammy's still on it shove him back in. Oh, shit.
That's a good idea.
In hindsight, we should have.
I mean, then that would involve...
It's impossible, obviously.
We don't know what's going on out there.
Right.
That thing might end in the first
three seconds like how I planned on it.
Exactly.
I threw a couple Oculus in there. Did you kick him at all? I was going to end it with a kick. might end in you know the first three seconds like how i planned on exactly i almost did i
threw a couple oculus in there did you kick him at all uh so i was gonna end it with a kick and
he fucking moved i don't know how he knew it was coming i mean i literally went like this with my
leg and i was screaming you definitely telegraph it yeah yeah i did these i made some amateur
i made a couple amateur mistakes right i am admitting that. With Hurricane Rana, one, two, I was just too excited.
I should have fucking continued to beat on him.
Instead, I tried to pick him up and give him another big right,
maybe a kick there, and back break.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Where am I?
Why am I here?
Yeah, in the kick, I probably shouldn't have been as loud as I was.
I was too loud on that kick.
I was basically telling him, hey, it's coming.
It's coming. I miss. He kicks me on. I'm basically telling him, hey, it's coming. It's coming.
I miss, he kicks me on, I'm done.
We would have ran it back, too, but then right after that,
he saw you try and line up the kick and said, okay, I need to go for his legs.
Takes you out by the legs, and then you can't run it back.
Real asshole.
I mean, it's bullshit.
It's one of those things, too, where if you do land on that,
you kick his jaw off and kill him.
So it's like, and then who knows?
We might not get Mr. McMahon and Stone Cold coming out
because, you know, the EMTs have to come down,
and that's the end of it.
Well, and if I break his jaw, how's he going to wear his mask, too?
True.
Very good point.
Thank you for saving.
Anybody talking about that?
What, Matt?
Who?
What?
Is that 95?
Excuse me?
Oh, Austin Theory?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Stay safe.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, you know what?
You can't wear it with a broken jaw, can you?
No.
I don't know.
How do people with broken jaws wear their masks all through that thing?
I think they just staple it to their face.
They had an exemption probably.
No.
Well, they keep their jaw shut.
Oh, yeah.
Jaw wired shut.
Oh, so it's probably a better mask.
Yeah, they just plug their nose with like a clothespin or something.
Yeah, and they just die.
Huh?
No, they breathe.
You can't open their mouth no they breathe
hey is goopy wearing some chains today who goopy okay are you normally wearing those things goop
yes you usually do yeah what's this guy's deal open your fucking eyes huh all right let's dive
into hey gumpy's a good transition, by the way,
because I've got to start differentiating between his grunts.
Because yesterday I said,
Tone, how do we feel about the national championship,
which took place last night?
This is a good time for us to talk about it.
We are a sports show.
That's a pretty big moment.
So I asked Tone Diggs yesterday, I say,
who are we betting on tonight?
You know, the Hammerdown boys are hot right now.
Who are we betting on?
And Tone goes, I like Kansas. I like Kansas minus four or whatever. And Gumpy in the back goes. tonight you know the hammered down boys are hot right now who we betting on and tongue goes i like
kansas i like kansas minus four or whatever and gumpy in the back goes and i thought that was
like uh and he was smiling while doing it so i was like okay my initial read on that sound with
that thing was okay they're the hammered down boys are both on kansas that did not we register we
moved on i don't even think we talked about anything else.
When I was on that bet before that game started, I pulled myself up.
You know what I mean?
Because I couldn't do it.
I go into FanDuel.
I'm like, all right, let me toss some last bets in.
Oh, yeah, the Hammered Down Boys, they were both on Kansas minus four.
When those two are on the same side of things,
especially with what they did in the final four,
I'm going to hammer this thing.
I want a 5X normal unit bet. Okay, 5X thing because i like last game it's national championship i want to feel
invested i'd like to pay attention to this right and unc up 16 going into half bill self and the
boys look lost i go over to raw after wrestlemania ezekiel makes an appearance. Let's go. Zeke!
Younger brother of Elias.
Elias went to our high school.
We are still boots on the ground to see if any of our friends, little brothers or sisters went to school with Zeke. He does look to be much younger than us.
He went to a Catholic school.
Yeah, we're not sure.
He might have been an academy kid.
But then I come back and the game's tied.
I'm like, here we go, Kansas.
We're on this thing.
And then there's an inbound pass, four and a half seconds left where a guy on kansas gets it runs directly out of bounds directly you're about to win the national championship you're up three
runs directly out of bounds blow it dead he gets fouled he makes both of those they win by five
how you doing keep moving me the hammer down, all on Kansas. We did this thing.
What a night.
The heat streak continues.
Like, I'm living my best life.
I'm having a blast.
So, obviously, kid runs out of bounds.
They fucking do the whole thing.
They win by three.
Congrats to Kansas.
I see Gumpy tweeting, it was always, or UNC, never a doubt.
I'm like, this motherfucker.
And then I see the Hammer Down, the Hammer Down account account is what all unc backers right now just going crazy i'm like why is gumpy rubbing this in my goddamn face
so i asked gumpy i said i thought you were on kansas he said no that was an underdog bar like
he was on the dogs which unc was the entire time it was it was a who who usually i think what you're
you probably heard and this is on me it it was probably like a, ooh, ooh, ooh.
That's my excitement.
My excitement is, ooh, ooh, ooh.
And I did a, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Oh, man.
You see, there's two.
That cost me a lot of money right there.
That is my fault.
I apologize.
Yeah, I assumed they were all on Kansas.
I just assumed, because I heard Goop yesterday, too.
Okay, yeah, everyone's on Kansas.
Okay.
Okay, so we're all on the same page there.
And by the way, Gump was was excited and i was incredibly hungover so i didn't know if i
misheard it as i saw gumpy tweeting out it was unc never a doubt or whatever and i'm like what
the fuck happened anyways tone uh the final score was hit by 5 000 people i believe that was the
report yes and you gave us earlier in the day that the Dogs were 35 and 32
on the entire tournament.
Anything else that is notable from this March Madness?
And congrats to Kansas on their one shining moment.
The Kansas City Jayhawks, AJ.
The Kansas City Jayhawks, as Mark Emmer called it.
Pretty easy.
Pretty easy to mess that one up, isn't it?
Dude, he had a good promo going.
Yeah, strong enough.
Put over the fans, put over New Orleans.
He had good energy.
It's like, oh, this guy normally gets booed probably
everywhere he goes.
And then he had to end it with a...
Not a public speaker,
so I guess we shouldn't judge him too hard.
But pretty massive fuck up there.
But, Tone, anything else from that?
Biggest takeaway, in my eyes,
it was an awesome tournament.
I thought so, too.
Good basketball tournament.
Carolina finished the tournament 6-0 against the Spreads.
So, I mean, that was everyone's favorite team in the tournament.
You bring that Skrillet home, you're going to be everyone's favorite team.
You think Roy Williams is excited that they didn't win without him,
but they did show good promise so he can say, hey, my recruits did well?
Yeah, and he was spotted
at the casino in New Orleans
the night before the National Championship.
That's a good...
That's a giving casino.
Hey, by the way, that's me, Foxy,
Nick, Diggs, everybody
that's ever been to that casino has won,
AJ. That's a lot of smiles coming out
of that casino. In Pittsburgh, Rivers Casino,
nobody's smiling on the way out of that casino.
Wait, who was there the night before?
Roy Williams.
Because he was making all – I mean, he just went 5-0 ATS on North Carolina.
I'm assuming he's putting at least 50K on each five stacks of high society
on each game.
He had a mask on in the casino too?
Yeah, he did.
Had to.
It looked like there was a lot.
I hope he's okay.
There are smokers in there,
I think.
And Roy Williams
isn't about that life.
I think there is
a smoking section in that casino.
Probably.
Most, I think so.
I don't think so.
No?
Most casinos,
they can smoke everywhere.
Yeah, you can smoke
cities wherever you want.
It's like the last place
on earth you can do that.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
I know in Tahoe,
they can.
In Vegas, of course they can.
They got them in airports too. They got smoking sections. You can go in there. The glass, yeah, the glass cage Tahoe they can. In Vegas, of course they can. They got them in airports, too.
They got smoking sections.
You can go in there.
The glass.
Yeah, the glass cage.
Like little boxes.
Yeah.
No, yeah.
Like a glass cage, essentially.
That's just like a section of the airport where there are still airport seats, but there's
ashtrays in between them with mountains of ash.
You're not smoking cigs anymore.
I'm happy for you.
Yeah.
Congrats.
Never say never though
You know
Just like
Just like Tate said
You have your one shining moment huh
When you get back into the Marlboro game
That's right
Maybe you can't with Blue Game
I don't know
Hey I hated that one shining moment thing
Cause I know it's like a big deal
And nostalgia
But as I'm watching it
And I'm seeing the highlights
That they're saying
I'm like can we not remix that song
A little bit
Can we not?
And I might be in the minority here,
so you would have to tell me how the internet is reacting.
People love it.
People love it.
All I know from that song is the video, was it last year or two years ago,
that Darren Revelle put out of him dancing to it.
Yeah, he did it again this year.
Jesus Christ.
Darren Revelle is still doing it.
Who does he work for?
Action Network maybe
I think so
He looked sick in Vegas a couple weeks ago too
When the tournament started
I would like to let everybody know that I am not an anti Darren Revell guy
But my life is better since I've muted his account
Fair
Easy Foxy
Jesus Christ
What did Foxy do
Fucking Big Papi I'm going to spit out water back there as he was drinking it.
Because we've met Darren Revell.
He's always been very nice to me.
He's always been very nice to me.
But it seems like everything he does, there is a lot of negativity around it.
But it's okay.
I've asked you this before.
And anyone I know, I ask, that knows him.
This is serious.
When he ran the 40, that's not sarcastic.
All this stuff is real. I don't know him that well is serious. Like he, when he ran the 40, that's not sarcastic. Like all this stuff is real.
I don't know him that well.
He has a gimmick.
That's not even like a gimmick.
I heard it's like,
I don't know.
I thought he was doing it to be funny and cool.
Oh, Hey,
look at this goofy guy.
But I hear it's not,
there's no way he ran and said,
this is his fast summer run.
And I'm a fast guy.
So I'm gonna put this out.
He knew what was coming.
He knew.
I sure hope so.
He had to know. What are you saying? You're saying he didn't i don't know i i think you're the one that's even told
me no that's all that's legit like everything he's doing it's not like joking well shoot i saw him
sprint upstairs at the houston astros game you remember that oh yeah he sprinted up an entire
flight of stairs i saw him he looked awesome sport coat suit coat and then as he was running we were
all i think we're pretty banged up pretty vitamin and then as he was running we were all i think
we're pretty banged up pretty vitamin up as well he's not really is that fucking revel and then
revel and he stops at the top of the thing like a movie and he turns and we got like a wave and
then he's gone those last time we saw i'm not an anti-revel guy but he does bring a lot of
negativity to his thing i don't know if it's on purpose or not.
That is his gimmick.
I don't know.
I mean, if it's not on purpose, he's getting a rude awakening in those comments every single time.
Yeah, no matter what.
Doesn't matter what he posts.
If he's trying to be funny, if he's not trying to be funny, people love shitting on him.
He wasn't trying to be funny with the Jackie Robinson deal, was he?
When he said, I'm not racist, I have all the Jackie Robinson memorabilia in my basement.
He took a few screenshots, I believe.
I didn't follow him, but I know he was trending.
I think that's how I saw it.
Oh, that was the MLK thing, right?
Yeah.
Where he's like, I'm a big MLK guy.
Yeah.
Has to be a bit, right?
I don't think that one is.
That's an interesting bit, if that's what he's trying to do.
Self-awareness is always really high with a lot of people, I think.
That is something that's been very interesting to observe.
I got to meet a lot of people, WrestleMania weekend.
Like Micah Parsons and Zeke, incredibly cool.
I was very thankful for them.
I watched that thing back this morning.
I feel like those two get it i feel like those two understand who they are what they are why they are what they need to do for the next 10 years everything like that they were
michael was pumped for me oh yeah hey i watched it back and they were actually the ones that i
saluted when i was standing up on the thing because they were like going i'm like hey i
appreciate you boys george kittle, he was jumping it.
I looked over and I saw,
me and George Kittle made eye contact at one point.
In the middle of that match,
I was like, fucking George Kittle's here.
I appreciate you.
Elias's younger brother was sitting with Micah Parsons.
That's who I was thinking too.
No, no, Ezekiel Elliott.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, okay.
That is Ezekiel.
Yeah.
Who's the other one? Elias's younger brother, Zeke. That's Zeke. Yeah. Who's the other one?
Elias's younger brother, Zeke.
What if he does come out?
That'd be perfect.
That'd be awesome.
Just protein sandwiches.
He looks absolutely yoked.
Yeah.
How old do you think this guy is?
Where's Elias then?
Elias is still missing.
Elias, we don't know what happened to Elias.
Is he missing or is he just doing something else?
We don't know. He's recording a solo album. or is he just doing something else? We don't know.
Recording a solo album?
I'll have to tune in.
Yeah, there it is.
One time.
You fucking get it.
Let's bounce through some NFL stuff.
Gronkowski not ready to get back on that field, he says.
He's not ready to commit.
Is this a game here?
He's going to inevitably come back to the Buccaneers and Tom Brady
and Coach Todd Bowles and the boys and maybe make another run at this thing.
Or do you think maybe there's a chance that he doesn't play football?
His legacy is secure.
He's a Hall of Famer.
He's accomplished everything, two different places.
He seems to be beloved by everybody.
What do you think here goes on with Rob Gronkowski, A.J. Hawk?
I mean, I think he ends up coming back.
I don't know when that is.
I mean, there's definitely still a chance
that he does hang him up.
We don't know how he feels physically.
We don't know how his body feels, how this last season
was on him, where he's at
mentally. I see their promo.
Is he co-hosting a Nickelodeon
award show soon? I think it's Nickelodeon.
My kids, it's always on. He and
Miranda Cosgrove. I don't know why I know
her name. I think she's from School of Rock.
They're hosting like a kid's show.
She was at School of Rock as well.
Kids' choice, maybe.
He's hosting a big party in Vegas too, I saw.
Who?
Wrong.
For UFC?
Let me see.
UFC, the draft.
Oh.
She has that boat.
Doesn't he have like a cruise, the ground cruise or whatever they do almost every year?
Is that still happening? I don't know. I don't know if COVID might have killed that. He said that boat. Doesn't he have like a cruise, the ground cruise or whatever they do almost every year? Is that still happening?
I don't know.
COVID might have killed that.
He's in no rush.
He's got ice shakers too with his brother.
Oh, yeah.
Just tell him about July 23rd.
Yeah, I think I'm going to dust him off and come on back, guys.
Just show up for camp.
I've been training.
Here's me running sprints every single day.
You know, he does that whole different tights deal.
Yeah, same tights off, but look whole different tights deal yeah same tank top
but look at the tights they change i'm wearing long pants and i'm wearing shorter pants and i'm
wearing no pants then i'm wearing tights and it's five different days he just takes off a layer
of what he's doing i love gronkowski man i and any team would take him at any time yeah whenever
the fuck he wants and that is a pretty good feeling i'd assume if you're rob gronk i was
gonna say couldn't he just, like, if he wanted
to, like, week 12, he could just be like, yeah,
I think I'll come play for the stretch run.
I've decided
I'm ready. Yeah, he could do
that, right? Because retirement, he's just chilling.
And I think he's a free agent as well. His contract
is up. He literally can do whatever
the hell he wants. I was talking to Darius Butler about
this. Darius said he's the greatest
tight end, and then he walked it back
because he didn't, I don't know if he did enough research to say it
and didn't want to step on anybody's toes.
He's the greatest tight end of all time, right?
I mean, obviously right now Travis Kelsey is going to make his way
into the conversation with how great he's been for how long he's been.
They're going to have to win another Super Bowl, I think,
and although that is a quarterback thing, it also will be accounted for
whenever he's being compared against all the other tight ends gonzalez is in there um shannon sharp in there so we brought
shannon sharp earlier and he said well if shannon sharp's in their gates got to be in a conversation
but gronk is right gronk is the guy i think at that position is like the he's so unique too like
just how he's such a giant doesn't look like he's flying, but he definitely outruns people all the time.
Yeah, just the mismatches that he's able to create.
I mean, I don't know how you – you can't really compare it with numbers
because back in the day, they just didn't throw the ball as much.
So, if you're trying to go 20, 30 years ago, compare him to tight ends,
then that's tough to do.
Now, yeah, I mean, I would easily – I wouldn't have any issue
if someone said Gronk's the greatest tight end of all time.
And by the way, he's not just a pass-catching tight end.
He's like a, he's a bod, a baller.
Yeah.
Like a road grader.
It's like a secondary tackle for them.
He's a road grader, that guy.
Yeah.
He's broke and hurt a lot of Colts people while, like, burying them in there.
It takes a lot of pride in the fact that although he's bigger,
his hands were compared to toilet seats.
He says this guy's got two toilet seats hanging off of his wrists.
He's taller and he can catch everything.
And somehow he's as nimble as like a ninja with how large he is.
And his football IQ, they say, is like through the roof.
Has a great feel for it.
That's why him and Tom get along so well.
I'm a big fan of Rob Gronkowski. And and i'm very very thankful we got to see him play did you ever play against them
yeah i played against gronk and old uh hernandez i believe their first year
or in new england how'd that go they ended up beating us um flynn i believe did flynn start i
think flynn was the starting quarterback we almost won, but we gave up one of the worst plays in all of NFL history.
Was it Dan Coppin?
The guard took him back to the two-yard line and kicked him.
Oh, that was the kick that he ran all the way back.
Great play by him.
Great.
Did he say anything to you?
Who?
Hernandez.
I do not remember conversating really with him at all.
I kind of wish I would have talked to him.
I knew they were both so damn good, though.
I was like, these guys are unbelievable.
Imagine if they were able to just continue to go.
Like, if one guy didn't kill people and stuff.
Like, imagine if they just.
Simultaneous.
Same age, right?
Oh, yeah.
Same draft class.
Imagine Tom with them for like fucking eight, ten years.
Hernandez was younger than Gronk, too,
because when he ended up coming out, I think he was like 21,
so he would still only be like 33 right now.
All right, let's move along.
Bobby Wagner will be joining our program tomorrow.
We'll be talking with Bobby Wagner.
He negotiated his own contract with the Los Angeles Rams.
It's a two-year, $17.5 million deal,
$10 million guaranteed, although it was reported as a five-year, $50 million deal, which doesn't
make any sense to any of us about the bullshit reporting why that has always been a thing.
And I'm not saying give us a Pulitzer Prize, but I do believe we have put a little bit of
pressure on some people to be like, hey, enough with the Fugues numbers that make teams look
better than they actually are because they're paying so much money and agents look better than they actually
are because the deals that are being published that they negotiated aren't real. Now, there are
great agents out there. I am not saying there aren't. There are an incredible business people
out there who do have the best interests of their clients and their players and everything like that.
There's a lot of bad actors out there as well that put on a suit
and have no fucking idea what they're doing business-wise.
So for a long time, all of them have been protected.
There was even a rule at one point that other agents can't poach other agents' clients.
If you're signed with an agent, no other agent's allowed to talk to you.
All that did was protect bad agents,
which is something that a lot of people have done for a long time.
Bobby Wagner negotiates
his own deal. He'll be on our show tomorrow
to chit-chat about that entire process.
Also going to the Rams and wearing
number 45. I can't wait for it. Thank
you, B-Wag.
Now, with that being
said, Florio
just buried his contract.
This isn't the first time
Sherman negotiates his own contract. He buries Sherman for negotiating his own contract. I know, because he negotiated. Did he really? This isn't the first time. Sherman negotiates his own contract.
He buries Sherman for negotiating his own contract.
I'm sure there's been others.
I like Florio the person a lot.
I like Mike Florio a lot.
He and I have had an interesting relationship.
He and I have had a great relationship.
He has been very nice to us at different times
throughout our entire process.
It's great catching up with him.
He's Paisano, West Virginia guy. I i like his son i'm a big fan of it his reporting of the nfl though
vastly different than how we talk about the sport of the nfl you know it's a it's a different game
that he's playing than we are he's sold his blog like twice by the way i mean he is trailblazer in
this entire internet world former Former agent does his thing.
Or former lawyer does his thing.
But I feel like he is plugged in with the agents.
And any time a player takes business into their own hands,
he's not the only one, but he is the loudest and the biggest because he is pro football talk, which everybody get very mad about that almost.
Why do you think that's the case?
It's always like, well, I'm looking out for the best interest of the player.
I'm looking out for Bobby Wagner's best interest.
There's a lot of fucking bad deals that have been negotiated by agents over the history of the NFL as well.
I like what Bobby did personally, but I don't think it's for everybody.
Your thoughts on it, AJ?
I'm with you.
If you feel confident that you can do that and you can negotiate your own contract, then absolutely.
Why not take control and take power?
Now, there is some weird thing where I understand agents trying to put it out there.
Hey, this is not a good idea.
Because you know what?
It's not a good idea for all NFL players to do their own contracts.
We know that.
There's certain ones that should and certain that shouldn't.
Like, I don't think I should have done my own contract.
I don't have the attention span to sit there and try to work through details and all that stupid stuff.
So I wouldn't have tried it.
But I feel like teams, though, GMs, people like cap people for teams,
they have to be excited that the real numbers are coming out
because it's tough to pay guys when you see these giant inflated numbers
and then all of a sudden you have another agent coming,
hey, well, this guy got 50 mil guaranteed over here.
You've got to give us at least 52.
And then you're like, no, let's sit down.
Let's actually look at the contract.
I think the GMs like the actual numbers coming out owners had to have loved back
in the day when they were paying everybody 700 million dollars yeah i'm paying 10 billion dollars
to all my guys yeah now now only i don't know maybe 10 million of that will come out but i would
have hey if if he would have held up his end of the bargain, I would have paid him all of that money.
The only thing we were asking for him to do,
and this is not a big deal,
cure polio, okay?
And we will pay you an extra $15 million.
It's in the contract right here.
Do you want me to show you the contract?
Here's the clause.
Right here.
You build a hospital,
staff the entire thing,
learn how to beat all forms of cancer both for dogs and
for humans and we'll give you another is it not saying right here i would give you 20 million
dollars for that pretty cut and dry i fucking said it you didn't hold up your end of the bargain like
that is and obviously it all related to football but there were some incentives that were in some
of these contracts that agents were negotiating back in the day that were just impossible they
got rid of a lot of them a lot of those non-likely to be earned incentives they called them they got rid of those
for a while now we're not seeing like the it's not the the non-likely uh to be earned incentives
we're seeing in the contracts but it's just the added years and like you say kick the can down
the road that's what makes them look like hey it's a five-year it's not a five-year deal but
yeah it's pretty much a two-year like that's how most contracts are now. And they could just kick it down the road.
Like, for instance, Pittsburgh Steelers' highest salary cap hit
on the offensive side of the ball is Derek Watt at $4.7 million.
Okay?
$4.7 million.
And I don't know if that bodes well for Steelers fans,
that that is the most amount of money that is allotted to anybody.
But even if that was the case, there is still a way with the way modern contracts are shaped
that the other 10 guys on offense, our starters, could be getting paid $1 million this year.
So that's what the salary cap is. And then $25 million next year or the year after that,
and they can just kick it down the road. So the inflated numbers are back in the game,
what you were talking about,
strictly so that they can deal with the salary cap year to year.
And it's like Aaron's deal was reported like this is actually what his deal is.
Every other deal was reported differently.
I feel like there is kind of a change.
Excited to hear what Bobby Wagner thinks tomorrow.
What were you going to say, Tony?
Well, I mean, the Steelers are the highest paid defense in the NFL
with the lowest paid defense in the NFL with the lowest paid
offense in the NFL, but they're also in the
top seven, I believe, in salary cap space next
year. So then they'll get the offense
and then it'll be a Super Bowl team.
Of course.
That's the way it works. Of course. Wait till you see what the Lions do.
Oh, man. They're going to really change the game.
A lot of draft picks this year.
Oh, shit. And next year.

This thing's really starting to hurt.
I'm starting to realize.
I might not even be able to pick my head up tonight
because of how much that thing...
But these things are the worst.
Yeah, they're more painful.
I'll be around for a couple weeks.
Me lifting my head up to get out of bed has been awesome.
Alright, neck doesn't work. Yesterday, it felt like there was a magnet in the back lifting my head up to get out of bed has been awesome. Like, all right, neck doesn't work.
Yesterday, it felt like there was a magnet in the back of my head.
Ah.
With the bed.
When I was going to get up, I was like, ugh, can't even lift it up.
And he's going to be like, let me fucking do this.
I'm going to get up.
I felt like a 90-year-old man.
I don't know how they do it all the time.
I have a neck stretcher in the back of my door you can use.
No, no, I'm not strapping my neck up.
Do you really, Z?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, stretch is bad, boy. The, like, I'm not strapping my neck up. Do you really, Z? Oh, yeah.
Yeah, stretch this bad boy.
The, like, decompression deal that pulls your head up and...
What is it?
Is it like it's hanging?
Oh, yeah.
Obviously, that's a word for everybody.
You strap it underneath your chin, right?
Right.
You pull it, so you stretch your neck out.
Yeah.
Is it that video where it looks like...
Oh, my God, I can't even do it.
On the internet, though, they have that thing that attaches to a wire.'s like a helmet oh it's a weight yeah but mine goes around my neck
or my below my chin that one goes behind your your head nick okay hey it hasn't been working
out his neck look at that thing hell yeah i tried zito came up to me this morning he goes uh
still eating you know like good food or food or healthy or whatever?
And I was like, yeah, I think we should probably have the option for good food.
He goes, you got it?
French toast coming up?
At one point, I said, what do you think I should do?
He said, look at me.
I started dying laughing.
Take it easy on yourself, dog.
You've been on Peloton, right?
You've been doing Peloton?
Yeah, I took a couple days off. It's the trip, but I'm back on it tomorrow.
Yeah, traveling's tough.
You can't just pick the Peloton up and just take it with you.
It's pretty sweet, though.
One day.
Do you race people?
Just the normal classes.
Hannah Corbin, I do her class a lot.
What's her name?
Baron Corbin.
Baron Corbin.
Hannah Corbin?
Hannah Corbin, yeah.
Happy Hannah Corbin?
Yeah.
So, oh, fuck. corbin happy happy hannah corbin um so uh oh fuck the workout i did at the house was so the the house that we stayed at in dallas and i think the person probably is going to hear us talk about
his house because his house was on get up on a fucking night behind me and a piano so i assume
somebody that's been in his house and be like hey what's that what are you i'm not sure just because it sounded as though the guy doesn't
have like a phone or anything like he just has that dude he spent all of his money on allegedly
we don't know this is the story we created obviously it's the story that we created
he had heated marble from italy all over the entire house the entire house okay french doors that
were imported for that whole thing had this pool that was just this lucas lagoon like set up
in the back his uh the master bedroom had like a stage on it and then you go up and there's an
entire like overlook of dallas in there but every the pool didn't work nope the the water fountains didn't work the hot tub didn't
work fires the where there's five the five none of the fire pits were nope the the workout the
area on top had like 20 uh gym inside of it like a material like the the shit that was in it first
generation bow flush so everything that he spent his money on, okay, it seems like with the house,
and then he's just kind of playing catch up with everything else.
Yeah.
Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.
The couch appeared as if it was straight out of Mitt's college house
that was right in the middle of the living room
that had this marble from Italy around it,
and you're sitting on a couch that's too wide with a leg thing.
None of that made any sense.
Anyways, my workout, though, whenever I was there,
was on one of these things.
What is that?
Elliptical?
Yeah, it was like a fake elliptical, though.
It was like a little tiny little fake one.
I broke that thing.
I broke the thing.
It was like burning, rubbing, and then it didn't work anymore.
It was like, yeah, this guy.
I feel like he had his priorities in the wrong place.
If I had a gas, he never used it. Well, he's probably waiting for someone to break it i'm sure he can charge us yeah i'm
sure when he came back and actually saw that he might have broke down in tears because he could
finally you know charge somebody and get groceries this week thank god thank you wait does the house
get rented that much we don't know it's a pretty expensive but i do want it is we've been catfished
on airbnb before okay and there's a lot of that
happening on airbnb and i think airbnb actually needs to look into that because like he has the
pictures of those pool that pool is 22 degrees yeah there's no it was a big it was a big cold
tub like we got in there it was freezing cold before he left too he was like oh it's heating
up right now i was like oh yeah of course it is the hot tub colder than the pool somehow i mean so that's not operable so that's like for the photos in the
barbecue and the fire pits that's in there not operable so it's like all right that wasn't a
part of it then we talked to him about the internet he said i got you i got you i got your
pay we gave him more money for the internet then we get there and he's like oh sorry about it yeah
i couldn't do that it's like okay so the pool doesn't work. He lied to us about that.
The internet doesn't work.
We were looking around.
Oh, this guy's in trouble, it feels like.
This house.
There was no blinds.
I had no blinds in the master.
In a gated community on a golf course.
So in a very nice area.
But.
Oh, it was wild.
Was there any pictures up?
Like, did it look like he lived there?
Just had that night.
You guys loved there full-time yeah the the closet next to the shower was his closet and it was uh zip tied shut
you know like that house was beautifully put together like the house itself is nice but then
everything you put inside of it unless he just takes all the good shit out for when airbnb's
come and then put all the terrible shit in.
It just feels like that guy's got a little bit backwards.
Well, in the pool, it was so cold it made it feel as though you could only use it when it's like middle July, Texas, when it's like 120 degrees out.
We're in springtime Texas where it's still nice.
It's like 70.
But as soon as you get in there, you have to get out because it's terrible.
They didn't even have Dallas's Kennywood was not open.
Yeah.
Really?
Why?
Six Flags.
Yeah, Six Flags.
I don't know.
Six Flags.
That's bullshit.
Dallas's Kennywood.
Yeah.
Six Flags.
Sorry.
It was not open.
They were running test runs, but nobody was in there.
We actually ran with a theory without Googling it or looking it up at all.
Oh, it's shut down because COVID you know killed covid killed dallas's kennywood or whatever you know
and then on the last day as i was heading to the stadium there was they were running test runs with
some people it's like oh they must be uh closed until summer it makes no sense because six flags
like midwest they close because of cold weather but like i feel like six flags texas is good weather year
round right well that's what we were that's why it was a big conversation because i think we were
all surprised that dallas does shut things down until yeah the summer because you just assume
it's like really hot it was when we landed there was a cold breeze down it was very good remember
the super bowl in dallas there was ice yeah i know shit there was they didn't know what to do
there was snow everywhere that was you were in that one yeah how many any of your family members or anybody get
end up in those seats that you couldn't see anything oh yeah the majority of my family
member was the very top row of the stadium yeah yeah me by the way when I played in the Super Bowl
Tim and Nick and Phil and Sally and everybody was up there very top they were the very top of Dallas
Stadium touching the walls what was that hard rock what was were at the very top of Dallas Stadium. Touching the walls. What was that?
Hard Rock?
What was it at the time in Miami?
Yeah, Hard Rock.
Yeah, we were touching the back wall of the stadium.
The place was a dump.
Still is.
They redid it.
Nope, still a dump.
They got good players down there.
Jerry World is awesome.
First time there.
First class.
See, with that being said, when they had the Super Bowl, everybody was saying,
this place stinks because you couldn't see the field because of the original build of it and the jumbotron was in the way.
But now they have fixed everything.
It feels like everybody had a—I have nothing but the utmost respect for the way the Jones family does their business.
They do like a weekly entire stadium deep clean.
I mean, that thing's been open for 13 years.
Everything looks like state-of-the-art brand new in there.
It is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous in there.
There's so much in there that we don't ever see either.
I know you said you were in some, like, auxiliary champions room back there.
Champions room back there.
Club.
Champions club.
Champions.
A lot of the locker rooms are gigantic, too.
Yeah, I've seen a couple of the locker rooms.
I've seen a few of them from a Sunday night I was walking around a little bit,
you know, doing my thing. People had their own rooms it was awesome it was beautiful you and
michael cole have your own room don't you or you have your own room so that actually was a thing
you know because if you get your own locker room you're you know big deal
made man it's a big deal yeah because how you travel around so week of
because how you travel around.
So week of, somebody from WWE texted Michael Cole and said that I requested two rooms.
Okay?
So Michael Cole goes, hey, do you need two rooms at the stadium?
Because they got a band and they got all these people
and, you know, Knoxville and Logan and Brock.
Like, they were going through all the people that have their Roman.
Like, they're going through everybody that has rooms.
And although AT&T Stadium is huge, like, do you need two rooms?
I was like, who said I needed two rooms?
Like, that was my first question.
And Cole was like, I don't know.
I was like, well, I would like to know who was trying to make me look
like a fucking asshole and saying that I need, like, in the biz,
if I was to ask for two different locker rooms, I look like a fucking asshole and saying that I need, like in the biz, if I was to ask for two different locker rooms,
I look like a massive asshole there.
Like that is a, I said, I don't need shit, Cole.
What are we even talking about?
And he goes, my guy, old school.
Cole goes, old school.
So I didn't have a room.
I never have a room anywhere.
I guess we're supposed to be in a TV locker room,
but that's most of the OGs that don't have their own locker room.
They kind of use the TVO.
So it's like, I never want to kind of, you know, what's it, invade?
No, intrude, infringe, all that.
I don't want to ever do that for anybody.
So I never have my own shit.
You really just wander around and say what's up to everyone.
What's up, what's up, what's up, what's up, what's up.
That's awesome.
You have a bunch of shit to do.
Yeah, I was in the male locker room, though.
That was cool.
That was a cool moment.
That's my first time ever getting to be in there,
and I was like, this is awesome, actually.
The male locker room is where the male wrestlers are?
Yeah, it's called Male Talent.
Who runs that locker room?
That's interesting.
I don't know.
They have a table up with a little cheese tray and stuff?
Commander Aziz.
There was a great table up where there was a great moment
where I saw Otis.
Otis did something amazing in there and i don't know what all i'm supposed otis is a legend oh so is we're in there i mean everybody in there was
very cool very cool everybody was is there music like is there a guy with the aux cable yeah there
was some music playing there was some music playing during when the show starts everybody's
watching the show which is so it was very cool to be a part of.
I got back in there.
Edge gave me a little shot of whiskey.
It was like, that was really sweet.
I was like, oh, you want to take a shot with me?
He was like, this is all we got left, bub.
Saved it for you.
I was like, all right, I guess I'm just fucking going.
Was he trying to make you join his fraction?
Faction.
One fourth?
Faction?
Faction. Faction. Yes fourth. Faction. Faction.
Faction.
Yes.
Fraction.
I was really confused last night.
I didn't know what was going on.
I was like, what's a fraction?
Well, the fraction is Punishment Martinez.
I thought it was a math club.
Yeah.
Damien Priest.
No, but I thought he changed his name to Punishment Martinez.
Hell yeah.
We don't care.
Well, it's actually really cool.
He changed his name to Punishment.
So it's Damien Priest.
The priest side is the white, so like the heaven.
Damien, the devil side.
That's part of his new logo.
Oh.
Now Lucifer Priest.
So it's not the denominator?
Well, that's part of the fraction.
That is part of the fraction.
That's right.
You should keep the gold tooth.
Oh, God.
I believe the gold tooth is gone. Yeah, it's just a normal tooth now. Is he going to the hot tub again? That's the of Fractions. That is part of Fractions. That's right. You keep the gold tooth. Oh, God. I believe the gold tooth is gone.
Yeah, it's just a normal tooth now.
Is he going to the hot tub again?
That's a Lawrence tooth.
Let's go to the phones.
Let's go to the phones.
What about L.A. Knight?
Was he roaming around?
So he was actually trending.
Give that dude a mic.
I agree.
Let me talk to you.
I love that guy.
I'm a big fan of L.A. Knight.
He was trending because of how eerily similar he looked to Zeke.
Ezekiel. Ezekiel. Sorry. Elias, his eerily similar he looked to Zeke.
Sorry, Elias' younger brother Ezekiel. So LA Knight
was actually trending
right alongside Ezekiel
because of potential
similarities to each other.
LA Knight was trending last night. I thought he maybe
made his debut while I was watching Kansas do their
thing. I'm like, fuck, was LA Knight
on Raw? I was very bummed. I went over there and it was like no no ezekiel was there
and he looked like ellie knight and people forget this is a photo that zito found uh i don't know
who took this photo i think it's from back from plum yeah our hometown ezekiel has been walking
with alive since the beginning that's right we just never could see him never look for him because
elias was such a show stealer. Yeah.
You can see the resemblance now.
A little bit. I don't see it.
But I mean,
last night when he was standing alone,
I did not see it.
Yeah, but look.
I mean, the eyes are...
They don't even look related.
Yeah, they do.
Well, it's certainly his little brother.
Probably just the hair.
Yeah.
Powerful skulls on those guys.
Hey, that's an Italian.
Elias and Ezekiel
are pretty Italian, huh?
Yeah, what's their last name?
Wow.
Those are like
normal Italian first names?
Sangucci or something?
Are you...
What?
What?
Looks like a
Sangucci to me.
Who are you talking to?
Ezekiel Elias Sangucci
What?
Because every time
You say something
Disparaging about my people
It's not disparaging
Because you just think
It's okay
You just think it's okay
To put a bunch of vowels together
Is that what you're saying?
Gucci is a very Distinguished Italian family And I just assumed There's okay. Gucci is a very distinguished Italian family,
and I just assumed there's a sand in front of it.
Anyways, we don't know what Ezekiel and Elias' last names are,
but they do appear to be.
Yeah.
They're from our high school,
so we could probably assume that both Ezekiel and Elias.
How old are both these guys?
I don't think any of those names have ever been used in an Italian family.
Well, you know, it might have been not 100%.
It might be like me.
Yeah, half the family.
I thought Shane O'Mac was supposed to come back.
The internet was telling you that?
Yeah.
Can somebody look up what year Ezekiel was at Plum High School?
I would like to know if we know anybody that knows Ezekiel.
Get his yearbook picture.
Probably like 07.
No, I was 05.
He was like a 2012 guy.
I was going to say 2013 or so.
What's his last name?
Walkwith?
What?
Ezekiel Walkwith.
Samson is actually his last name Ezekiel Samson
Oh yeah
Samsoni
Ezekiel Samsoni
Or Samson
S-A-M-S-O-N-I
That's
Samsoni E That's Samsoni.
Ezekiel Samsoni.
Hey, did you see me give one of these
on top rope, AJ?
Of course, right after the Roethlisberger.
I'm so happy. I was so
happy to do this. You had to almost laugh to yourself.
Oh, I did, yeah. When it came to my head,
I was very pumped when I was standing
up there. I was like, oh, what do I do with my hands?
Oh, I have to.
Just one of them.
If they would have had a crowd shot of everyone just doing this, too.
Oh, God.
Tony D'Angelo and AJ Galante, the new Italian gimmick down there at NXT, the new Dawn.
I don't know if they'd be happy.
What's the matter if you're fucking stealing D'Angelo's gimmick?
Hey, keep your hands down, all right, you Irish white bastard?
You get the pass, though.
That's what I'm just saying.
That's what somebody else would say to me.
Oh, okay.
I don't think it's fair.
Okay.
Yeah, that's bullshit.
Nick talking.
Excuse me.
I got a foul after the C.
I found Ezekiel's father.
Okay.
Abraham.
Maybe grandfather.
Okay.
Father's father.
He was a lawyer, a prosecutor, a Civil War officer, a judge, and a two-term Republican
congressman from Iowa's 6th Congressional District.
Civil War officer?
Are you kidding me?
What's his name?
Well, no, I'm saying it's his grandfather.
Oh, his father.
They probably moved to Pittsburgh at some point.
How'd they end up from Iowa to Pittsburgh?
The fact that they have the same name,
I assume they have to.
Do you guys bounce?
A lot of people from Iowa say,
you know what, I'm picking up going to Pittsburgh.
I don't know if that ever happened.
I don't think Samsoni.
It sounds like Samsoni, apparently.
Well, yeah. Were they'm picking up going to Pittsburgh? I don't know if that ever happened. I don't think Samsoni. It sounds like Samsoni, apparently. Well, yeah.
Were they persecuting Italians in Iowa?
Probably.
John Wayne Gacy's first five kills was probably all Italians in Waterloo, Iowa.
Is that right?
Well, his grandfather died in 1892, and the steel industry boom was early 1900s.
So they probably did move to Pittsburgh.
So Ezekiel's dad was like 94 whenever he was.
Strong swimmers.
Still got it.
Where did his brother come from?
Was his brother wrestling like the underground circuits?
Elias or Ezekiel?
His brother, the Elias guy.
Oh, my God.
Bro, he's been performing at indie shows.
He's probably put out an album or two.
I mean, Ezekiel.
Ezekiel.
Oh, we don't know what's been going on with Ezekiel.
He must have gone to like a small school.
Maybe he was homeschooled. He's been in the last. Oh, he was homeschooled by the Samsoniiel. Ezekiel. Oh, we don't know what's been going on with Ezekiel. He must have gone to like a small school. Maybe he was homeschooled.
He's been in the lab.
Possible.
Oh, he was homeschooled by the Samsoni family.
There you go.
Because if we would have saw him, we wouldn't have missed those traps.
Couldn't have missed those traps.
They would have trapped us.
They captivated us.
Would have been a detackler.
Yeah, I agree.
Plum High School would have used that guy everywhere.
Would have made it run for Joe Hadley's sack record.
Seriously.
Joe Hadley, all-time leading sack hitter for the Plum High School Mustangs, by the way.
Shout out to Joe Hadley.
Shout out to Joe Hadley.
Hey, congrats to Joe Hadley.
Congrats, Joe.
Hey, congrats, Joe.
Joe might get hired as security full-time for me.
Hell yeah.
Let's go.
I was thinking about it the other day.
Why wouldn't I?
That seems like the right guy.
Yeah.
You going to put a hockey stick in his hands?
No, just give him a couple of cigs.
I was gonna say, like cig butts in people's
faces. All he needs is a cig.
He'd be perfect for that job. He does not need
a stick. He can be fueled by his
pure bitterness and rage for the world. He will
be able to. Every time I
see him, there's at least one conversation.
Want me to fuck, kill that guy?
Alright, Joe. Thanks, dude.
Well, he killed a homeless guy, right?
Well, allegedly, yeah.
That was a shame.
What?
Huh?
Is he on record of killing a homeless person?
Well, he's on one show, I guess.
Mark Madden.
Every time Joe Hadley's name gets brought up,
because Mark Madden was Joe Hadley's coach for that deck hockey league.
Okay.
And Joe Hadley actually shoot very good
at ball hockey. Like very,
very, very, very good. Would
smoke a cigarette in between shifts,
go out, light up the
lamp. I mean, he was a very, very
talented. He played football,
but Mark Madden was his coach.
And every time Hadley's name gets
brought up, Mark Madden just goes,
hey, he killed that homeless guy or whatever
and killed Sugar Plum Days,
which was a local community festival in Plum
that started after we left
and died years ago for probably funding issues,
if I had to guess, in Plum.
I assume there's some embezzlement going on somewhere,
and they weren't able to figure it out and keep it going.
Could have been that murder, too.
So that's what Mark Madden says, yeah.
The reason why it got canceled
is because Joe Hadley murdered a homeless guy
in the middle of that Sugar Plum Days.
And Hadley,
every single time it happens,
he's just sitting there
probably cleaning somebody's windows
and they're like,
did you kill a guy?
Come on.
Jeez.
Lazy cigarette.
I'll come back next week.
You ever go to Sugar Plum Days?
I never heard of it.
Is it the community days?
Yeah.
What does that mean?
No, I think it's two different.
Oh, then no, I don't know.
Like a farmer's market?
What is it?
I have no idea.
I have no clue what it is.
So Plum used to have, so state fairs.
I come out to Indiana and there's a state fair.
It's the greatest thing of all time.
If you've never actually gone to, we didn't have that, I don't think, in our area.
I guess there is a state fair in Pennsylvania, but it's probably like way, way out.
So I go to a state fair here in Indiana.
I'm like, this is it.
And I go talk to some people back in Plum.
I'm like, you should try.
These state fairs are fucking incredible.
The people watching, the food, the activities.
It's just, it's amazing.
I'll go to community days or whatever.
And I'm like, all right, vastly different.
I set up community days back whenever I was a kid.
It's at the Plum soccer fields,
building tents and everything like that.
People from the community, not
these carnies.
Well, yeah, but it was much better that way.
I don't know. I don't think there's a lot of money being made from that
thing because those carnies know how to
work. Oh, yeah. They know how to
wheel and deal or whatever. So I
think the sugar plum days was different than the community
days. Nonetheless, Hadley allegedly killed somebody
sugar plum days, not the community days.
That's a luxury.
Makes checks out.
Serious accusation.
Yeah, and Hadley just smokes his cig,
cleans windows, and keeps it moving.
He does not care at all. All-time leading
sack hitter for Plum Ice. That's incredible.
Prestigious honor. How many?
I don't know. We should get that number.
24? 35?
No, we're just saying numbers.
I thought it was a single season record.
No, no.
No, I think it's all-time.
Oh, okay. I think it's both.
Might have both.
Probably.
Wow.
Allegedly, there were some books being cooked by some of the people in power at the football
world.
Dan Slider.
Which, by the way, not Plumlike at all.
You know?
You mean now or there
was? There was. So I don't think we found
out that Hadley was the actual sack leader
until years after when
the books were corrected by somebody.
And it was like, no, actually that was a false number
that was given out. There was a regime change and
someone went back through, watched all the tapes,
counted every one of them and said, oh, it was actually
Joe. And Joe's like, at that
point, 260 pounds
halfway into another career.
Of course.
Of course, I didn't get to celebrate this
for the last five, six years.
So yeah, that's Hadley. Hadley doesn't
deserve the accusations that Mark Madden throws his way.
But Hadley needs to be around
more, I think. What was that, Will?
I mean, you know Joe.
He asks you every time
you want me to kill that guy.
Bro, he was a goon in hockey
who could score.
I went up to watch him
at Penn Hill's deck, right?
So Penn Hill's deck is,
you're going in there,
there's a fight happening.
Okay, so when you show up there,
there's a good chance
you're getting into a fight
because of something
that possibly occurred
on the deck,
probably happened in the parking lot,
or just natural beef of teenagers doing teenage stuff, right?
So this place was down in a hole.
I mean, it was shit.
It was nice people, I guess.
I went there a lot.
Nick played a lot.
But it was always a chance something was going to happen.
You know, when you go in there, it's like whatever.
Hadley was the goddamn goon of that whole place.
I mean, he'd be in the middle of it.
He took his stick and smacked the guy in the face with it
in the middle of a goddamn game.
Just smack, whack.
And I'm sitting in the crowd, okay?
So was the guy smacked.
Yes, and I'm like one of the representatives of that team.
And then they got like 15 guys
and there's only like three of us in the stands.
It's like, god damn it, Hadley.
I'm about to get jumped
on my way out of here
because this guy said something
from his head.
Shut the fuck up.
Bang!
Smacks him in the face.
That's what Hadley did.
So that's why whenever people say,
oh, he killed a guy,
everybody's like,
yeah,
probably did.
And he's all-time leading
sack hitter, obviously.
Hey, Joe.
It worked out for him.
Joe, we might need you
to just sit out
in front of the igloo.
Hell yeah.
You know what I mean?
With a big old gun. Hadley darts. I don't think we should
give Hadley a gun. Nah. I don't know.
Give him a couple packs of palm oils.
He'll be good. He can shred a guitar too
that day. Nice. Very, very good.
We could blow a dart gun. That'd be sick.
I thought I was going to get killed that day.
Oh, fuck. Hey, what happened with Mark Madden?
He in a fight with Ric Flair? So him
and Ric Flair are no longer doing a podcast together.
I don't know why or how.
That thing went on Twitter, though.
I think they're both past it now and moving on.
I assume they'll never be talking about it again.
Really?
Madden's still doing all right, isn't he?
Yeah, he's still killing Pittsburgh sports talk radio.
Probably a. two or something
like that mark's always gonna soldier on and he's always he's not scared of the beef with whoever
you know if the smoke is out there he's diving into the pit like i want to smoke and he's made
a living out of it he's he's one of the greatest debaters of all time but he came from like a
debating family right like isn't his mother like wildly intelligent and i think she was a debate coach yeah his mother was
a debate coach ted for it what's that like ted cruz ted cruz was like a debate champion
or something i did not know that yeah i didn't either put him in fucking beto is in beto a big
time speaker oh yeah yeah can we just put Ted and Beto in a room with nobody else
and just see them battle it out for Texas'
I'm the Smartest Man Alive title?
Let's do it.
Maybe have Madden mediate.
Oh, now we're talking.
That's what America needs.
That's what America needs.
No, he's very good at debating,
and he's very firm on his stances with everything.
And I think that we've always had massive amounts of respect for him
because he was Nick's coach, and we got to meet him as a person.
But Twitter's really taken to it.
I don't know how every day he wakes up in the trenches.
Like, I can't do it.
I don't know how people do it.
I enjoy positive.
I enjoy being happy.
Mark feels obligated to correct people whenever he disagrees with them,
and that's a different life than I live. That is a different life than i live but mark's been doing it for a
long time he's very good at it yeah i'm much too much of a pacifist to get involved in a lot of his
piece yeah and just like who cares yeah probably gets bored i'm sure he gets bored if he doesn't
jump into it maybe maybe i mean because he probably does feed off there's people that love that shit
oh yeah
like those reality TV
people people that
sign up for reality TV
they're like yeah
every day I want to
wake up drama
put me in the middle
of it I want to
fight everybody
I'm like
well I'm just
getting high and
sleeping
I did enjoy
when he called
Tona Mark
that was funny
yeah
shut up you Mark
hey Zito's been
dropped
well his name is
Mark
Zito's been using Mark his name is mark zito
zito's been using mark yeah as if zito has been in the wrestling business for 30 years i was in
the mark shop like non-stop too i love marks yeah zito went into the mark shop the uh you know the
merchandise store at wrestlemania was right across the hall from the champions club and he he would
literally go over there buy 15 things and then say a bunch of
fucking marks over there with four bags coming back you know and then i'm going back over there
he come back same fucking marks are over there it's like they're saying the same thing yeah
saying the same thing about you and he's coming out of there he's got a bunch of marks
yeah absolutely there might have been a moment after my match
where me and some good people and some scumbags
were trying to find just a way to poke our head outside of AT&T Stadium
to potentially do something that hadn't happened for like four weeks.
Ah.
You know, and like maybe pass a peace pipe around real quick.
So we asked the security.
We're like, hey, is there any way we can just kind of poke our head outside any of these doors?
No, I got you, man.
We'll go right up here.
Is there any fans up there, though?
Like not sure, like, you know, not a right time for us to go.
No, no fans at all, man.
No fans at all. It's like, okay, sweet. So we just need to go to no no fans at all man no fans at all it's like
okay sweet so we just need to pop outside for a minute so we walk up these steps we go up these
damn steps i'm dead at this point we're walking up these damn steps we go this guy opens the door
right into a suite level there's 200 people standing there jesus and we're just like oh
shit shut that thing shut that thing and they hear somebody in the back, old school guy. Bunch of fucking marks out there.
God damn it.
It was a cool.
It was a full.
It was a full.
It was awesome.
It was really.
It was Sunday.
Did you find a spot?
No.
No.
There was no.
There was no access to any spot that we could get to from where we were.
Should have Jerry just opened the roof.
I'm going to go out on a 50.
Can you fucking pop?
I need you to pop the top.
It's been about four weeks since I've got to do this, pal.
That story of Sunday night, like the whole thing, is fucking awesome.
I mean, just every part of it.
I can't believe I was a part of it.
The pre, the during, the post, just all of it.
The whole weekend feels like that.
Yes.
Obviously capped off by an unbelievable Sunday night,
but your whole time there was action-packed.
Well, I got to meet Dude Perfect and them, too.
Yeah, true.
They were front row for my match.
My guy Kobe was going bananas.
Really?
Yeah, shots to Kobe.
Kobe and i standing
up on the platform when tyler put it in on that first try kobe and i were standing up there we
didn't get to chat much because how quickly the whole shoot was but whenever we did get to talk
it was i enjoyed him he's super positive he knew why he was there yep i'm here to be super
motivational and inspiring and then he also said hey if this doesn't work a couple
of times tyler actually responds well whenever you talk shit to him i'm like well let's hope it
doesn't happen and then boom he drained it first try obviously because kobe told me a couple of
things he would say normally if tyler was to miss right and he said i'm like that's actually pretty
good so we're allowed to say that type of stuff to him and then i didn't want to get like i don't
know if i'm allowed to or if kobe's allowed sure you know but kobe was super cool guy very nice guy once again
because he hit the ball he hit the hole so quickly i didn't get to learn about him as much but he was
there front row on sunday and i gave him a uh my guy kobe i appreciate you those do perfect dudes
13 years on the internet 13 by now 14 billion views damn doing traveling around the country
selling out arenas aren't they yeah now they're doing shows selling out arenas now their demographic
is the complete opposite of ours complete opposite of ours and i actually know that because you know
there's a couple different apps in youtube that you can obviously tell you everything about who's
listening how they're listening why they're're listening, what age, what profession. Our sweet spot, and I think it's a
very cool thing and we're very lucky for this, like 24 to like 35 is our, that is our bread
basket. We have 18 to 20, whatever, as well as like. I think that's our second largest.
But it is by a wide margin, 24 to 35-year-olds.
Like, hey, that is who watches our stuff.
I'm guessing, I don't know for sure,
but seeing that arena tour and watching Orlovsky's story when he was at it,
they got the teenage kids locked down.
Young kids, too.
All my kids' little friends friends they love them they went
and saw them when they were in columbus uh at the arena uh but yeah those dudes people love them
yeah very young kids like first graders first grade through probably middle school high school
they have to think i'm just a devil too i mean right as soon as i walk up
it's dude perfect probably you're super religious, I think.
Super positive, right?
Oh, yeah.
They still live in the real world.
They hear things.
I don't think so.
Dude Perfect can live in their own world.
14 billion views, dude.
They can do whatever the hell they want.
Oh, yeah.
They got that compound up.
Oh, no.
What went down?
Everything.
Just been two golf clubs, three golf clubs, one hockey stick,
and a canned one down.
Oh, you don't say.
They were up there, now they're down on the ground.
Slap, dick, whiskey, go chug that thing.
Get a hangover.
My head won't bang.
Hangover finally ended last night around midnight or so.
Nice.
That was pretty sweet.
It's always a good time.
I sent a bird call to those that I was drinking with on Sunday night
that the hangover had finally passed at 11.45 p.m. last night.
It was pretty cool.
I had to pull my head up
and i didn't get dizzy or anything i was like all right did it i'm not i don't taste it just
sitting inside of my body it's great i'm such an old man now such a little punk i used to do that
all the time i don't know how i and i i say this every time drink, I don't know how I used to do it,
and I don't know how you guys still do it if you do out there.
I have no idea how people do it.
My body is so soft now.
It's so, so soft.
If I would have had to do anything yesterday,
aside from two hours of this show, I mean, I missed the first hour.
So, like, if I had, that's how bad it was.
So if I have to do, if I had to do anything physical yesterday,
there's no way I would have been able to do it. I used do that type of shit and then go right into a 6 a.m lift
at west virginia then go right into a nap and then right into practice kick 65 yard field goals and
then just kind of see you later let's have a night again and just put that on repeat for college i
can't do anything like that i mean there's a difference between tying one on and getting a
little banged up and drinking fucking 30 beers.
And a bottle of Makers. It doesn't matter what you do at that point.
You're going to be very fucked up.
A bottle of Makers, Mark.
To the head.
That tastes pretty good.
There's a couple others. It was, I think, too delicious.
Almost too good.
Alright, let's get out of here.
Hashtag PMS, thank you.
Thank you.
Screenshot your favorite moment from WrestleMania.
It does not have to be by match.
Could be Otis.
Bingo.
Could be.
By the way, which might be mine.
I mean, that whole thing.
Put your cash tag in there and say something nice to somebody.
You could win a Bitcoin.
We will randomly select from a pool of people that we appreciate.
Nice. We are currently training from a pool of people that we appreciate. Nice.
We are currently training number one.
Let's go.
Thank you all so much.
You are the best people on earth.
Thank you to Darius Butler for joining us.
And for Colty and Nolte for thinking about coming on the show.
That's right.
Nice of them.
Maybe next week.
Well, the answer is no.
But is there another golf tournament next week?
Yeah I think the Shell Open or something
Is next week
Maybe that was just last week
Valero Texas Open
Might be the waste management coming up
Could be like the M&M's open or something
Who knows
You're talking about the Rolex 3000
Could be the John Deere
I got that circled That is not next week I 3000. Could be the John Deere, Ty. No, no, I got that circled.
That is not next week.
I know exactly when the fucking John Deere is.
Where is the John Deere?
Silvis, Illinois.
Right on the border of Iowa.
When's Bobcat getting in the game?
They're sponsoring an Instagram post for Carson.
He's building a higher road.
Hashtag ad.
Hashtag sponsored.
Hashtag Bobcat.
Hashtag what have you done?
Hasht hashtag take command
god damn right those are really what sell it oh yeah stuck with you well yeah you memorized it i
thought he was taking a shot at me or jim ursa i didn't know who he was taking a shot at i would
like to be on the record that i think carson can play football very very well and i would also like
to be on the record that i'm happy he's not the quarterback for the team that I cheer for. Both can be,
both can happen. Both can take place. It seems like a reasonable opinion.
It's gonna be nice to be able to just sit down and relax while watching a game too.
Oh yeah. Yeah, I'm sure you will.
Matt Ryan is the polar opposite of Carson Wentz.
He is. You're telling me you're still not gonna
be worried that you're gonna lose a game no no it's not about it's every play potentially losing
the game i'm okay it was just like kind of standard football taking place yeah you know
it'll be okay if just like oh we're gonna punt this time you can find that out normally on first
down by the way as somebody that did that for a living living, I would watch the first down play. I'd be
like, alright, we're probably going to end up punting on this. That's
football. Football happens. Now,
some big third and long or third and medium
might get caught and we don't punt, but you can
normally tell and feel it.
With Carson, there was a chance a touchdown
was coming on every single play, and
there was a chance that the other team was scoring a touchdown
on every single play. That's a tough
way to watch games.
That's why I continue to ask, how the fuck have his parents survived?
How have they survived watching him play football his entire life?
I have no idea.
They might be the coolest people on earth in this whole time.
They'll take command.
The commanders will see this and experience this.
Yeah.
Last thing before we go, I guess the NFL is pushing for flag football to become an Olympic event.
That's awesome.
There's another Olympic gold medal for America.
Oh, yeah.
Here we go, boys.
Imagine a Canadian team.
Canadian team would probably be okay.
All right.
I would assume that there are some other countries that might be pretty good.
But that's just a gold medal for America every single time.
Women's soccer, gold medal every single time. Men's flag football, gold America every single time. Women's soccer, gold medal every single time.
Men's flag football, gold medal every single time.
Women's flag football, gold medal every single time.
I like any sport that shows up that America's definitely going to win.
You know why?
Because there's a lot of events in the Olympics
that no American in the modern world will ever try.
And we fucking have to sit there and lose
and take it on the shins from some country
that that is all they do.
So if you want to put in our sport in there,
in the Olympics, I'm with it.
Let's do it.
The rest of the world ain't going to be happy.
They're not going to be able to field teams.
When we're winning 77 to nothing or whatever,
they're going to say this isn't good sportsmanship.
Welcome to fucking football, baby.
Okay?
Toughen up.
Maybe play some D.
I'm excited for this.
Let's go flag football.
You hate or love this, AJ?
Oh, I absolutely love it.
But I just picture whoever is on the American team absolutely dominating anybody else because
they don't play football all over the world like they play other sports, like they play
soccer and all these other things.
So good luck.
Good luck competing against that.
Hey, sorry about it.
All those little workouts that you guys do that we have never heard of in America
other than like seven kids grown who grew up in a family from that.
And you guys win the gold.
And we're supposed to sit there.
America takes last place again.
No more.
Okay.
We're going to start creating sports over here too.
That's right.
And wait until we win the soccer Lombardi.
I don't even have to get into that.
When we win the soccer Lombardi. I don't even have to get into that. When we win the soccer Lombardi
in November,
right into flag football
in the Olympics,
it's going to be hard to
hold our arrogance
down. I'm going to let everybody know
in the world. Teams like Bangladesh
though, those guys
who aren't going to be able to be on the soccer
team, now you go play flag football, you get olympic moment maybe there'll be some you know rugby style players
that'll probably pick up the sport well handball that'll probably be a problem handball will
probably associate well with flag football they got the athletic part but we're a good 10 to 20
years away we're two generations away from them actually learning the rules oh yeah so i like
that the nfl is like yeah yeah we're gonna good luck finding a db to cover tyreek hill out there and in the olympics
well you know there's those pro have you ever seen those professional flag football players
they're on nfl network what last year yeah they they have an ability to drop their flags to
different um levels it's a whole different game that the professional flag football players
hold it not that tyreek hill wouldn't be incredible i mean he's untouchable on the Levels. It's a whole different game. The professional flag football players,
not that Tyreek Hill wouldn't be incredible.
I mean, he's untouchable on the football field when it's tackled,
so I assume flag, he'd be okay too.
But some of those professional flag guys and women are very good at,
you know, like not hiding the flag, but like moving it,
which is a big part of the whole thing.
Yeah.
In little kid flag football, you get called for a penalty if you flag guard. As you're running, you kind of tuck your arm down by it.
They better check the Russian flags, too.
They'll have those things glued.
They'll have some sort of rubber that'll glue.
Everybody will be pulling on it.
You know, it has like a little pop when it comes out.
Rips the skin off.
The Russian one.
You only get one spin, too.
What's that?
You only get one spin.
One spin move?
Yeah.
Per person?
Yes.
Per possession.
Per play.
So you can't stiff arm someone's hand away from your flags?
It's flag guarding.
Imagine when anybody would come in, right?
So it might actually help some of these soft-ass countries.
True.
That's right.
I feel like it's all about the quarterback.
Yeah.
Remember when –
It'll be some retired NFL guy right there.
Duck Hodges.
Get him in there.
Oh.
I know.
Give him a go.
I love Duck.
Duck can play for Canada.
Yeah, he might play for Canada.
He's a CFL.
He's an American.
I'm talking about Kurt Warner, maybe.
Hasselbeck.
Not Hasselbeck.
Rich Gannon. Bck. Rich Gannon.
Bingo.
Rich Gannon.
An over 60 league?
Tim can play on the team.
He's not playing quarterback.
What's that?
He needs mobility.
Yeah.
Do you?
I don't think so.
Flag football, don't you have like seven Mississippi?
Seven Mississippi.
That's all Rich needs.
Not the ones I've been watching.
One rusher.
One rusher, one blocker?
One snapper.
No, no blockers.
What?
That's how we play.
We spend a lot of time running back and forth.
So we want Pat White in there.
Yeah.
Oh.
Yes.
It doesn't really matter, dude.
We're going to fucking kill him.
Yeah.
We're going to have eight teams in there.
Maybe Aaron Rodgers is quarterback.
Maybe he plays a couple years, retires, and then he's a
four-time Olympian.
That'd be cool.
I saw him whip a football at a kid
in a flag football camp a couple weeks ago.
Aaron? Yeah, he got picked off and the kid ran
and handed it to him and Aaron was not happy about
that and Aaron fucking threw it at him.
Seemed about as hard as he could. That's competitive juices, by the way,
that we're talking about. What was that? He was at that
Super World QBs here camp. Did you see that? I'm not aware of're talking about. What was that? He was at that Super World QBs here camp.
Did you see that?
I'm not aware of any of it.
Where was it?
It was at the Palmer Brothers,
I think.
It was with Jordan and him.
Oh, okay.
So he went out there
and he was working
with those guys
throwing to him?
Yeah, Josh Allen was there.
Darnold was there.
The Palmers were there.
Aaron was there.
I think Lamar was there.
Was Burrow there?
Since he's quarterback, Ritter was there.
Desmond Ritter was there.
I couldn't think of his name, so I said since he's quarterback.
What do they call it?
Quarterback Summit is what George Blum calls it, right?
That's a cool thing.
They all get to hang out and talk to each other or whatever.
I think Aaron was in the finals, right?
Aaron was in the final against Ritter's team.
And Ritter's team won?
I don't know, to be honest with you.
Maybe Ritter's quarterback.
Here we go.
But he's starting to get a little more buzz these last couple of days.
I think he can play.
I liked watching him.
Good leadership, too.
I feel like he's competitive.
He has good leadership.
And he played a lot of football in college.
A lot.
Yeah, he started for nine years, didn't he?
Yeah, I believe four straight years.
Yeah, he started, which is not normal at all.
And they were good all four years.
So, he's been in big games.
He's been in big moments. He's been in big moments.
He's had to handle adversity.
Small school, so looked over.
I mean, I'm a big Desmond Ritter fan.
I just have no idea how he can throw.
I have no idea how his ball is.
But I guess everybody was saying it was great.
I don't watch enough.
He's got a live arm, good deep ball accuracy.
I like that.
I watched a jackass movie last night.
I don't know if you guys have seen it.
I couldn't sleep, you guys have seen it.
I couldn't sleep, turned it on, was going to watch some of it,
watched the whole thing, and actually was laughing out loud at multiple times when my wife's sleeping next to me.
What's it on?
Good.
I don't know.
I think Apple TV.
I just bought it.
As much dong as you remembered?
Way too much dong.
Way more dong than I thought.
2022, not a lot of dongs either. So that's kind of like...
That was my one takeaway was I forgot how much dong was in this show.
No, I don't think it was.
Weren't there a lot of cheeks?
There were a lot of cheeks in the show too.
A lot of dongs in this one.
Any cheeks?
They got a new character named Poopies who I am really a fan of.
Yeah, they do a lot of bad stuff to Poopies.
For real.
He's like the new, who's
the older guy that they just tortured the entire time?
Dave England.
Well, he gets it pretty good again in this one too,
but him and poopies are a tag team.
How about
Pontius' cheeks all over Wrestlemania?
Awesome. I just love his little
when he rubs up on people.
He put that thing up on Sami Zayn.
We watched WrestleMania back.
The jackass match.
Man.
Me and Cole were having just as much fun as everybody else that was watching,
which I enjoy a lot.
It was hard to keep that professional.
When he brings out that bowling ball.
Yeah.
We man with a full body slam.
That was amazing.
All right, let's get the hell out of here.
Hammer Down starts in 20 minutes.
I can't thank you all enough.
You're the best.
Hashtag PMS thank.
Mania.
Screenshot your favorite moment from the weekend.
Say something nice to somebody.
Put your cash tag in there.
You might win a Bitcoin.
You all are the best.
Have a good one.
Thank you, Darius.
Big show tomorrow.
I think we have Bobby Wagner on and Terrell Owens.
Okay.
T-O-M, Bobby Wagner, and hopefully some more surprises.
We'll see you in the morning.
Goodbye.
Bye.
