Hello beautiful people. It is Thursday, June 2nd, 2022 and this sports show shall begin right now. Can't thank you enough for joining us. There's a lot going on in the sports world. Obviously, the NBA is happening, NHL is happening, football is always going to happen, soccer happened last night. Hey, we're going to win the soccer Lombardi there's a lot of takes uh from takeville about to come out about the soccer world in the state of soccer not only in the world which we now run but in the united states yeah yeah that's right we'll dive into it but the big news of the day aaron rogers birdies in bird. Wins the match last night for he and Tom Brady over Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. And I will say, I watched that. I watched it.

Oh, yeah. Whole thing. Ten hours. Into the late, late evening last night, I watched the match in its entirety. And any time you have broadcasters from CBS, Turner, NFL Network, the four probably most prominent and best quarterbacks in the game, including the two back-to-back MVP and the greatest of all time, the next generation, and having that quarterback conversation,

it was almost – with J.J. Watt, Defense Player of the Year, in there as well, and Charles Barkley, obviously, giving great – it's almost like they know that people are just going to watch it regardless. Right. And I did. I watched that entire thing. I have some thoughts on a lot of it, but I do know that it was great seeing Patrick Mahomes sling some beers around.

Hell yeah. Patrick Mahomes became America's sweetheart again just yesterday playing golf. Now, he was at the beginning of his career because he's so much fun. He likes to catch up. How you doing? He's an incredible football player. Grew up in a baseball family. Was making things and doing things on a football field that we hadn't seen in a long time from a young quarterback and having success.

Here we go. Everybody loves Patrick Mahomes. It's the next generation. Then Patrick Mahomes wins. Signs a half a billion dollar deal. Well, sorry, $453 million deal. We just learned yesterday from Rappaport, even though that wasn't what was reported at the beginning.

They lose, okay, a couple times here. His brother and his now wife and wife, yeah, and somebody he's created a family with start taking a lot of the attention away from what Patrick Mahomes is than just yesterday. On 12 holes of golf, Patrick Mahomes is than just yesterday on 12 holes of golf Patrick Mahomes being the incredibly clever funny upbeat and boozer on the go but hitting incredible shots became America's sweetheart yet again congratulations to Patrick Mahomes yeah it's great to see Patrick Mahomes just as Patrick Mahomes I guess he played

on that course 15 times this offseason that should have told us that he was a stick also he's great at baseball and he's an incredible athlete should have told us that he was a stick. Also, he's great at baseball, and he's an incredible athlete. Should have known that he was going to be a good golfer. He fucking played really well. It was him versus Aaron, a lot of it. It was him versus Aaron, a lot of it. Now, Tom had a couple good shots, maybe a couple putts that fell. Josh Allen was able to find a stick every once in a while,

but it was Pat versus Aaron. And Jake from State Farm was there, whose name is actually Kevin. That kind of set us all for a loop. K-Fabe Jake, your name's fucking Jake. Even if you're talking to Charles Barkley. Charles Barkley's asking what your name is. Your name's fucking Jake.

Kevin, Charles Barkley said. Change it. Charles Barkley and JJ I thought were fantastic by the way. Thought they were a great tag team. We'll talk obviously about the match in further regard throughout the entire show, but I can't wait to get to the toxic table. Aaron Rodgers really put on a show.

First hole for the old guys to win, plus 200. Okay, because I think everybody thought they were going to split or tie or whatever. For the old dudes, OGs, to win, plus 200. I hammered that. Oh, yeah. Aaron was way too confident going into this thing, taking shots at a lot of people. He comes out and makes his natural bird on hole, it was like oh my god are they gonna run away with this they go up two here we go aaron's balling they're gonna do this then got kind of quiet in

the middle of that whole thing a couple hours of quiet yeah yeah and then towards the end whenever it started to matter the golf shots really started coming out guys started making plays it was fantastic to see these high level motherfuckers in an atmosphere that they're not used to. They're obviously plucking humans in the crowd. Oh, boy. At a rate that we know. They need to give helmets out. All right?

Next match, if you get a ticket, you also get a helmet. Because there's a lot of people getting taken out. We even seen an Instagram video of somebody that was filming right next to a guy that got hit in the head. He got hit in the head, and some people were calling him a little bit overdramatic. I could not imagine getting hit in the head with a fucking golf ball. I had the ball speeds on the head. He got hit in the head, and some people are calling him a little bit overdramatic. I could not imagine getting hit in the head with a fucking golf ball. I had the ball speeds on the TV, too. 178 miles an hour,

183 miles an hour ball speed. People are getting hit right in the head, right in the hand, right in the chest. There was a lot of bodies being hit yesterday. And follow up on the fans, they were also just kind of milling around. It seemed like there was not a lot of control or security or telling people where they should stand for this

entire thing they were laying they were standing in every landing zone that the balls were going to almost on every single hole it kind of became a thing like oh is somebody going to get hit on this hole which i would expect more out of golf amateur golfers uh it just happened there asking for autographs in the middle of the thing, like, okay, can't happen. I mean, they're mic'd up. We were listening to them, and they're probably trying to win this. There's a lot of money on the line. So there's a couple things I think they're going to have to kind of, you know,

toy with to make it the best production it could possibly be. But I enjoyed it. I watched the entire time, and our guy did fucking great. So I enjoyed it a lot last night. I had Ty Schmidt, one half of the talk show table. Your thoughts on watching Aaron play golf all last night? And actually gave a couple jokes yesterday. What are OTAs?

He said. Never heard of them. No, I mean, it's like you mentioned. You put that kind of cast and crew together. What else are we going to watch? Of course you're going to watch the whole thing. And then everything else is just kind of bonus. But yeah, Raj slamming into Josh Allen's golf cart early there and just kind of joking around i did kind of like fade out in the middle

when he he did just kind of stop talking when they weren't playing as well for a while there but i mean it's it's fun to watch i think you have a it's cooler it's a made for tv event so i don't like when you do it in vegas and that course was awesome. It was incredible. What the fuck was that? There was a waterfall that was maybe the biggest, densest, the amount of water that was falling from that waterfall. Unbelievable course. Good for that course hosting. It's smart. But I think with the fact that it is like a made for tea,

I think it kind of just takes away from it a little bit when you have fans and spectators there because then that's just like another thing that those guys have to deal with like the previous two ones when it you know it was covid but when no one's there like those guys are kind of more focused on yeah they have because they have to carry the event then like they're shit talking one another and like maybe a few people but that felt like uh you know the way it was set up it was like almost like it was a friday or a saturday like a pga tour event like people yelling on every tee shot and stuff like that. I think that's almost too much for what this event is

because we want to hear them. We don't give a shit about the fans surrounding it. I enjoy Patrick Mahomes on the mic, too. I enjoy it. How many beers do you think he put down? Five. Five, probably, because he was going on to four when he asked Josh. Like, hey, I probably need to get him a Coors Light or two because his mic also stopped working so he didn't say basically josh couldn't hear anything

yeah he couldn't hear josh at all but they said bill's mafia was the biggest crowd that was out there by the way it was just airpods right yeah one airpod and then i think a phone is a phone is following each person's mic because you saw them do an exchange of a headphone a couple different times in the back there i enjoyed it i enjoy it i appreciate that they do it i obviously alongside everybody else could i don't want to say like i could do this better i could do this better the whole thing like the press conference was not needed yeah no not at all the press conference was needed uh the quarterback conversation afterwards zelda though awesome yeah and aaron chatted about maybe you know, retirement at some point, and some people were pissed about it.

Yeah. Some people were pissed that Aaron Rodgers is 37, 38 years old. Making it about himself again. He was one of the back-to-back MVPs, one of the Super Bowl, legitimized himself as the greatest, in the pantheon of the greatest football players of all time. I mean, he's done all that. And I think we've all learned that he's maybe interested in some other shit too yeah you know what i mean like outside of football he seems to

be a very deep thinker loves reading loves experiencing loves traveling like there's a lot of reasons why you would think oh the guy who has multiple hundreds of millions of dollars just on the field let alone off the field maybe he doesn't want to commit his entire being to throwing a football anymore if you've listened to him chat at all this is not me going to bat for aaron but i just think it's hilarious that this guy who's 38 years old 37 years old is thinking about retirement and they are burying him asshole of course i was like oh that's a little piece of information that i don't think he has said publicly uh yet he's actually addressed it felt like he was actually talking in that room felt comfortable in that room as was tom pat and josh i i think the sit-down with Ernie was awesome.

There was obviously some sound bites throughout the game that were incredible. There were some great shots. I think there was some shit that Patrick Mahomes was doing in the middle of that that I did not expect him to be able to do. No. And I should have, though. I should have. Yeah.

Like, why did we not expect Patrick Mahomes to be a fucking stick? I don't know why we even thought that was the case. He was shaping shots. Especially on a course that he's played that often. This guy was fucking shaping shots out there. He hit that par three, and he was like, oh, get the kick, get the kick. And it went right off the side of the green and basically rolled, you know, 10 feet from the hole.

He was very impressive. At Boston Corner, obviously the Celtics start tonight. Last night you were watching the Rangers and Tampa Bay. You were watching that hockey talk. You were watching the match. What were you doing? I was watching the match. I mean, I was pretty locked in on the match.

Fuck that hockey talk. Well, no. I bounced in and out. What's that all about? No, I bounced in and out. Who cares? Bruins are dead. Yeah, exactly.

Hockey season ended for me months ago. It's been basketball season here for four you know, four or five months. You're a bad guy. No, how? I watched. I added to the view count. Whoa, whoa, Nick. I don't think that's the case.

I added to the view count as well. I was watching the match. Yeah, thank you for that. No problem. So did I. No, you said I watched. I said, did you watch that talk? Did you watch this?

Did you watch that? No, I watched the match is what you said. Entirely, I watched the match. I didn't watch entirely that talk. Me neither, by, I watched the match, is what you said. Entirely, I watched the match. I didn't watch entirely that talkie talk. Me neither, by the way. Okay, Nick? Yeah, I know. He told me. He's like, hey, I'm going to pop in. Well, I mean, I don't know. I thought there'd be a double

standard, but that's okay. Don't worry about it. Well, there is a double standard here, obviously, because I am the person that said, yeah, I popped in, watched that talkie talk, and then when I asked you if you watched that talkie talk, you said, no, I watched one. That's what you said And then I asked you if you watched that's hockey talk. You said no. I watched one. That's what you said. One, I watched.

If I only watched half of the match and I watched all the hockey talk, I would have said that's hockey talk. But I only watched half of that's hockey talk in all of the match, so I watched the match. You would watch all of that corporate pissant bullshit. What do you mean? You popped in. You popped in.

It was interesting, though. We should have done a sponsor in are. No, no. You popped in. You popped in. It was interesting, though. We should have done a sponsor in that. Maybe next year. They don't say anything. That's the only thing. I know, but that would have been awesome if the par three roll was around. This is sponsored by the Pat McAfee Show. $5 million up for a hole in one.

I mean, fuck it, because I would do the big mattress Mac. I would do it on the other end. I would just do a bet against it. And they should come close on any of them. Yeah they might i mean who knows next time that's what didn't make any sense though i was mad golfing out there at 10 digs uh not impressed obviously with the golf that happened out there is that you i would like everybody watch this video of this man getting plucked in the head okay he was one of many by the way one of you don't and the camera is kind of scattered because a person loses the ball.

Just do the sound. Just listen to the sound. This is, and then, Tyrone, we'll get your take on said guy. Go ahead and run the video, please. This is from yesterday's The Match. Josh Allen nails a fan standing next to me. It's a par three. He is searching for the ball.

Lost it. Sun's so bright. We're in the fucking sun. We're in the desert can't find it where is it oh wow i got it oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god guy's got the hat too he loved being oh pumped oh necklace nick hey sir necklace Nick! Necklace?

I mean, he has no idea where he's at right now. That guy's smiling. Oh my god, look at my head. Oh shit. Oh yeah! Another one. This is what it was like. This is what the match was like. Another one! Alright.

So, honestly, the way that video was pitched to me by somebody in this office, I will not put a name on it. No. Right. But the way that video was pitched to me before I watched it by somebody in this office, I will not put a name on. Did you see that soft ass bitch that got hit? Yeah. Did you see the angle from the fan of that guy who tried to basically make a million dollar insurance claim on the fucking course? Acted like he got shot like it was Normandy.

I watched that video back a couple times. That guy smiling after getting boinked in the head with a fucking golf ball from 160 yards away, 170 yards away. That would hurt so bad. The noise of that ball hitting his head. That would hurt so bad. Is that what it was? Yeah. What?

I will not say which person said all of those things, but Tone, I would like your take. I mean, this fucking guy is what's wrong with America what are you talking about like I said he was acting like he got fucking shrapnel through

his fucking jugular on normally oh my like I now the second time that I've watched it I think he may have fucking smacked his arm

Tone first off it's a 7 iron so what you're 150 yards away. This guy, everyone's saying heads up, and he's just fucking staring into the sun waiting for it. And then the way he reacts, and then he's,

oh, I don't know if it hit my neck or my head or my necklace. This guy. Run it back. If I was there, I would have loved to have just putted him in the ribs while he was running. Oh, my God. Tone, you're a problem. It's hard to find a ball, especially.

It is. Oh, yeah, I can't see it. This is a camera in our eyes. Clear skies, by the way. Fucking clear skies. Vegas looks like a great time right now. Heads up. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Where'd the ball go? Oh, my God. Oh, shit God. Oh, my God. Where'd the ball go? Oh, my God.

Oh, shit. Necklace. Nick. Hey, sir. Is he okay? Whoa. Is Nick his friend at home? Oh, my God.

Did you really get hit? Oh, my God. Hit my head. Oh, shit. Clearly stunned. Tony. What's your problem? This guy's probably concussed right into CT.

That's what he gets for wearing a full Paisley shirt, too, by the way. Come on. Color scheme. Obviously, you've talked about it. There's balls going at these people all day long. You see everyone else in the video put arms in puffs like they're in the middle of a lightning storm, which is supposed to put your ass up in the air. And I assume this asshole fucking, I think he purposely ate it, wherever he ate it.

You think he turned and said, yeah. He was looking for a lawsuit or something like that. I mean, he's looking for an easy ride. He thought, hey, if I get hit like this, I won't have to work anymore. I'll be a millionaire, blah, blah, blah. I've heard that in the past. Exactly. You're telling me, though, that everybody knows if you're at a golf tournament the universal move is you did what is that one

hand in the front one hand in the back like this that's the move what's hard with the hat on but fox you remember when we created what you do for a plane crash yeah basically saves you gotta grab your left you gotta put your left arm on the wall Right hand on the ceiling And then you put one foot on the chair in front of you Lock your knees Yeah, you gotta lock them out Oh yeah, those things won't snap like pixie sticks That's what we're saying

You don't Do you have a better answer? Yeah, just lay there Do you have a better answer? No, because you're holding the ceiling up Holding the ceiling up, yeah. And you're holding the window off of you. In place.

I always go arms at my side because I don't – every airplane crash movie, someone always gets a piece of metal from the seat through their ribs, and I don't want that, so I wanted to try to go through my ribs. I think you're supposed to make yourself as small as possible. You guys are basically exposing everything. No, you are wrong. Now, we're keeping everything off of us.

No, that's when you're pass rush. You've got to get skinny. Yeah, get thin whenever you... What'd you say, TC? Told us it was the right answer. Yeah, and Tom Bunny used that method. Should have known that's a lie because no plane TC is ever going down.

Why would you say that? What is your problem? I got 800,000 hours of film and research that tells me otherwise. I saw him fly that James Corden guy around. Yeah, pretty amazing. It looks like old Ty wasn't fibbing yesterday when he says TC's ripping and riding these F-14s. But in Top Gun, he was not flying those boys.

No. I don't know. Do you? Yeah, he was. After watching James Corden video, I don't know. Not so sure. He fucking flew that son of a bitch upside down. James Corden was literally suspended in his seat,

his entire body. He's touching the thing. Oh, my God. And they got, I think they used the Top Gun camera to film that bit. Oh, yeah. They're flying this. This fucking guy's just flying upside down in a fighter plane.

It's Tom Cruise flying it, laughing, smiling, doing his thing. The more I learn about this guy, the more I should have been respecting him a long time. That's right. Never too late. I'm glad that you finally come around. Well, everybody seems to say that the one thing, you know. About Tom? Yeah.

What's that? He'll never go away. Huh? We know. What are you talking about? What are you referring to? The one thing about Tom we know I don't want to get the YouTube channel taken down

we know we've talked about this before haven't we because there was that one in San Francisco that we walked by is that what you're talking about they chased you for six blocks imagine they would have got me in there everybody thinks you're going to Is that what you're talking about? Yeah. They chased you for six blocks. Bingo. Imagine they would have got me in there.

Everybody thinks they're going to get this brain. You're not. I don't care how talented you are. I love how your idea was, yeah, we can just put a for the brain flag up there. Just kind of walk around, look around this place. Yeah, but can you imagine if it wasn't just some sloppy guy, but we saw fucking TC form running behind you?

Then you're dead. I mean, you're there. He's so high though that he doesn't do any of that no i know i know i'm james he's ordering metaphorically speaking here i'm just i'm telling you i got a lot of tweets about this particular religion this guy believes in yesterday as i was putting him over so what you see him on fucking top gun maverick that's all you need to save the world that's all you need to worry about. The guy likes physics and chemistry. What's the problem with that?

Well, that would just be science, I believe. Exactly. This is a different thing. Scientology. That's the study of sciences. I'm not sure if that is what it is. To be honest, I tried to go into one of the churches. Ty would not let me walk in there.

Couldn't do it. Someone else could. Ty actually Heisman'd me out of the church. It looked real nice. I'm like, I'm going to snoop around. I will walk into a church. You go in there, it's just a bunch of beakers and bunts and burners and stuff. I know how to work them. They got to use those little things that spark the flame.

Urban Meyer flask. Make sure you got the eye cleaner, eye washer right there. I don't know why it's such a big deal if that's all that's going on there. I think you're wrong. I don't know. Let's go to our guest. I'm sure he... We got to call him back. There was another guy who was pretty big headline news

who's also in that religion. Who's that? What's he trying to do? Will Smith. Alright, let's get to a break. We'll reset everything. Okay, we can't be talking about this, I don't think. Because we don't know enough. No, we don't. All we know is what we've been told. What we've been told is what you guys have been told.

What we've been told is that their religion is a very powerful one. Oh, yeah. Different. If TC's doing it, it can't be wrong. I'm in. Well, I think that's what they do. They do a lot of that. Yeah.

Joining us now is one of the hosts of the Believe in Steelers podcast, an absolute stud, a Super Bowl champion, a man who's beloved around Pittsburgh and the NFL worldwide. Ladies and gentlemen, Ike Taylor. Yeah, Ike! What's up, man? What's up, PMAC? Bro, y'all killing me.

No, no. Yo, God, I'm talking about private plane after private plane after New Deal after New Deal after New Deal we go from the PMAC then after the PMAC we go to hit the wrestling then after the wrestling we do a little Kentucky Derby boy you everywhere

alright well I appreciate that Ike thank you for following along and I need to take a nap at some point a little tired we're really going but we are very lucky to do it. And when people like you join our show, we get offers to do even more shit because how electrifying you are. Nah, P-Mac.

Hell with me. You big-timing, baby. Nah, nah, nah. F on that, P-Mac. No, no, no. You ain't got to be like this. No, no, no. You're killing this thing, dog. No, no. Well, I appreciate you, Ike. That means a lot. Thank you for joining us. We miss you over here, no. You ain't got to be like this. No, no, no. You're killing this thing, dog.

No, no. Well, I appreciate you, Ike. That means a lot. Thank you for joining us. We miss you over here. Actually, this morning we were chit-chatting, and it was a full, like, who haven't we talked to in a while? And as soon as your name popped up, everybody was like, fucking Ike.

Yes. Need Ike Taylor. So we apologize. It's been too long. We miss you. We hope life is good. How's the family? How's that son that was running like two miles every morning

before school, didn't have social media? Is he still going, and what's the NIL looking like? Are we getting paid for this thing or not? Man, we ain't going to say we trying, but at the same time, he's really doing his thing. We just got an offer last night where we're getting a watch list

from USC. He ain't nothing but a sophomore in high school. He played safety. So he went from Michigan, Florida State, now USC. So the little man is just doing his thing. But when I say he put the work in, he put the work in, just like his dad, the plus most. So he just get it right now.

At the age of 15, he just gets what it is to be a professional, what it is to have passion for the game. But he just put a lot of work in, so I'm very proud of him. I'm a proud dad, bro. If I'm a coach or a GM or anything, and there's a chance for the son of a professional athlete, doesn't even have to be an NFL guy, just the son of a professional athlete,

I think the advantage to that is it cannot be counted. I don't think it can be measured. I think it's a big deal seeing somebody accomplish something, what it takes to accomplish something, and then hopefully being able to apply it. I think that is a real weapon. I'd assume that's what a lot of these schools are thinking about your son, who's obviously incredibly talented and works his ass off,

but he's also seen it, done it, and knows what it's going to take. First of all, as a GM, if I was a GM, I'm going to always go for the bloodline. Yes. Like, you mess around and have a boy, I'm going to go look for the McAfee for a kicker because I'm going to stay in his bloody bloodline. Like, that's just what it is as a GM. Now, what takes my son over the top is he got a high IQ. And at the time he was born, the man had been to three super bowls he'd have

been inside the locker room so he understood and i gotta applaud coach t for this because coach t let our kids come to training camp and get some of that training camp you know back in the day in the early 2000s that training camp we was doing real live two-a-days you know what i'm saying so we was banging every day so he got to see that and he could still tell you to this day man he remember uncle debo y'all probably know him as james harrison he was like uh when you play football make sure you take the soul out these kids run through them and he still remember that to this day and that's exactly what that young man be doing hey that's like an old school thought you know that's being passed down and he's in his very new generation.

Has the NIL thing crept into his life at all? Are you thinking about that? Because Lane Kiffin, oh, it was like two days ago. Yeah. Lane Kiffin two days, three days ago said, everybody is making their decisions now on how much money they can make. It's not about the size of the stadium. It's not about the prestige.

It's not about your facilities. Now, Georgia announced an $80 million facility upgrade literally the next day, and I think those photos are helping recruit as well, maybe. But Lane Kiffin said, how could you blame them

not just taking the money? Has that crept into your life at all? No, we straight over here. But the NIL deal, it's not for everybody, though. You got to be that top dog. You know how it is, P-Mac. Only the top dogs on certain teams get paid the big money.

So, like, what you got? A hundred guys on the roster in college? Only about three of them about to get big money. And it just depends on who you are. It depends on how many stars you got. It depends on how the football team, the organization feel about you. But these parents and these kids got to understand, everybody ain't getting big money. It's the same way as the NFL.

You have to be that guy to get that big guy money. Hey, I heard that's potentially fucking with kids. Kids are getting, I don't want to say jaded, but obviously at 17 years old, if you think you're better than somebody and they're getting

$150,000 and you're better than somebody and they're getting a hundred and fifty thousand dollars and you're getting nothing that can affect me i think it there's a lot of like potential psychology shit that could fall into all this as well where you're getting you're getting baptized by the business at 17 now as opposed to after your first deal in the nfl normally like what 25 25 26 now it's happening like nine years later or earlier it's a different thing I think it's a much different world so it's just got to run its course I mean you can just look at it like baseball baseball them guys come out of high school before they get to the big leagues they seeing big bucks and some of them just you know some

of them just don't make it to the big leagues but we talking about talking about 17-year-olds getting paid $2 million in baseball. It's the same way when it's about to be in college football. And that's just what it is. But these guys are a little bit more mature in baseball because they just play baseball year-round. When it comes down to the college guys, it's not about to be everybody. You know what I'm saying, P-Max? So that's what these kids and these moms and these dads and these coaches

got to understand. Everybody ain't about to get them big bucks. It's tough to understand business, especially if your family doesn't come from business backgrounds, dropping it in. It's a tough thing. How do you not take it personal? I wasn't good at it early. I would take everything personal.

Fuck you. That's how that's going to be. It'd be hard, I think, as a high schooler, even more on top of that. It's going to be interesting to watch it unfold i'm pumped though that your kid's an absolute dog it sounds like that's going to be awesome to watch uh he's got obviously yeah i appreciate it yeah yeah but i told my son i rather i rather him be a late bloomer than flame out early so okay you know you better than the kid who probably came in with a few stars better than you. But you know by the end of the day, you're going to walk him down. I tell him all the time, man, it's a marathon, not a sprint.

So don't even trip. So I had to do it. I didn't see people get more money than me. And I'm like, man, I know I'm better than this dude right here. But I understood the marathon part of the business, and I wound up walking everybody down. Hey, that's very mature of you. You know what I mean? That's very, very mature of you.

And I think the reason why you have such a good relationship with the Steelers is because of that mindset, though. You kind of understood the overall brand-new GM, hired from within. Do you see them changing anything at all, or is the Steeler way going to be the Steeler way forever, you think? Yeah. Yeah, Omar. First of all, Omar is the Steeler way going to be the Steeler way forever, you think? Yeah. Yeah, Omar. First of all, Omar from the city.

That's from New Orleans. So Omar from the city. Omar been with Pittsburgh 20 years plus in that organization. So not only do he bring the GM standpoint and what it is to be a Steeler, and what I say what it is to be a stiller is we don't look at height, size, and speed. Do the kid love football? Is the kid unselfish? And do

he mind smashing people in the face every play? That's what it is to be a stiller. And that's what I think Omar will kind of get back to. And Omar used to be the financial guy. So not only you got a GM, you also got a GM who know how to talk that money part when it comes down to these contracts.

So, man, Omar come with a lot of tools in his toolbox. He just so happened to be the GM now. So Tomlin probably helps with scouting. And has he always helped with scouting, you think? And that's why he's at every pro day, it feels like. He's deep in the process with Colbert. And that's what he's looking for, right? The guy you just described is exactly what Tomlin wants on the team.

Coach, he love that shit, man. He just love football. He love the process. He love coaching. He love the scouting. He love traveling, going to get kids and trying to find the best. It is very rare that you find a coach that truly, genuinely is passionate about football. I just sat in the meetings

with him. You know, I think I was one of the only active players who sat in a meeting on draft day and watched them have draft picks. Now, when it was time

for them to try to replace me, of course they told me to get my ass out. Yeah, we're looking for somebody cheaper and younger than you right now.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I understand that. Slide your butt out and we'll tell you to come back in after we take this call but i understood the business side of it though so whenever you think about the future of the steelers and i know tomlin when there was allegations of him going to usc uh he he came out and cut a promo about the basically the chair that he sits in. This is the best coaching job in football, and you're asking if I'm going to go coach kids, basically. He felt very disrespected. With Colbert kind of leaving, Omar coming in, you would assume now what?

There's just like how much longer do you think Tomlin's going to go and do this? And the passion of football, I mean, Belichick's coaching until he's 80. He's going to coach until he's 80. Tomlin is only getting better, I think, because he said he connects with this younger generation because his kids are that age. Like, I feel like Tomlin maybe feels like he's in his prime, like right now is his best time.

What do you see for his future, and have you chatted with him about that at all? Yeah, I just had Coach T on the show. Man, Coach T, Coach T been giving money for a long time. I don't think people understand that. Coach T about to hit 90 million coaches. Let's go! Yeah, yeah, and they're going to continue to give coaches

because you can't replace them. and they're going to continue to give coach because you can't replace them. That's just one of the guys who is just overall in general, he can pretty much do it all. He can coach. He understands his generation. And he can come in the scout department and he can help scout and draft guys in the NFL. And he be hit.

Like if you look under, you know, the Pro Bowl guys, he'd be drafted, man. It's crazy. So he's another Hall of Fame coach, soon to be, whenever he wants to retire. Before, like, Pittsburgh just letting Coach go. Now, they just gave him, like, a two, three-year extension. So I'm sure after this, they want him to get to the Super Bowl, or they see a bright future

in their young guys. They're going to want to re-sign him and get it. He's going to hit $100 million easy. Okay, good for him, by the way. I want everybody to want to reach out to him and get it. He's going to hit 100 million easy. Okay, good for him, by the way. I want everybody to get to at least 100 million in there. Get to a bazillion, whatever you want to help everybody gets to. Coach D, obviously beloved in Pittsburgh. Tom Diggs, your question. Ike, do you think every room or every position room needs to have a veteran in it?

Now, like, for example, I'm talking about the Steelers wide receiver room here. Now, they're very talented, but they're all very, very young. And, like, if the Colts don't bring T.Y. back, like, they have a very talented but very young wide receiver room. Like, do you think every room should have a vet in it? I think every team should have at least four vets, two on defense, two on offense. It doesn't necessarily have to be in that room

on defense to an offense. It doesn't necessarily have to be in that room because them four vets going to hold everybody accountable. And you kind of got to go by the generation. What I think the L.A. Rams do so well,

they got Whitlock. I'm sorry. And he holds everybody accountable. He's like a coach on the field. He's like dad on the field. Then you got your Aaron Dahmer, who is in the next generation. And we all can see what he do. Hopefully he bought to get paid his hundred and fifty million. Then you got a Jalen Ramsey. He's a little bit younger than Aaron Dahmer. So you got a lot of guys. You got a lot of guys. You got three different generations. And I think every team should have at least, you know,

when it comes down to dogs on the team, you got guys who are going to hold each other accountable, but they can also come to work every day. What you going to tell Witt? You know, you can't tell Witt too much because he's been out there. What you going to tell Aaron Donald? We see what he's doing all season. Like, he take his all season. Man, he's going to see more serious during the season.

But we see why he's doing what he's doing. I mean, this is just man APL. If he wants to retire right now, he's going to go to the Hall of Fame tomorrow. That's just what it is. Jalen Ramsey that day acquired. If Jalen Ramsey wants to retire, he's going to go to the Hall of Fame tomorrow. So you just got to find a balance out. And we ain't even going to talk about Coach Sean McVay. So how I look at

with the LA Rams, they're just in the perfect situation on guys they have in certain generations. So guys can relate to different guys coming in, whether they're coming from free agency or whether these guys are veteran guys. You got to have that in the locker room. I think

the way you described generations, like second generation, third generation NFL guys or any other sport, you said the bloodline. Like, I think the bloodline in NFL teams is you hope that those vets, you know, just try to speed up the process of making you a better pro. Like, you're a great football player. Now we got to make you a pro. I think that is something that i i think a lot of teams look at is so vital though so fuck you said two on offense two on d it is huge because it doesn't get you till it gets you uh gets you right like that's what everybody

says but like those little things that have been happening all season maybe you're too talented to get by that maybe if you had no g that would just say uh we can't be doing that or whatever then in a playoff game it fucking gets you whatever it is somebody's late to a meeting somebody misses something something happens that's maybe even taking place it's so vital like honestly i think that's why the steelers i think have been so impressive for so long because it's like a college alumni come back it's like you're welcomed in the building the next generation welcome it's like a fraternity basically basically, where OGs come back. That is so big. Such a weapon, I think.

Such a fucking weapon to your culture. We had it in Pittsburgh. You hit it on the head. We had it in Pittsburgh. When I first walked in the building, we had a bussing, Jerome Bettis. So he taught me more how to be a professional off the field how to network off the field than anything then you go with your james ferry we call it we acquired james ferry from the jets first round draft pick from the jets he taught me what it was to be on and off the field then i had

the shea townsend in my position coming from alabama shea was like the third generation because i was like the fourth he's the third generation because I was like the fourth. He's the third generation. He gave me his forward expedition. He didn't even know me. As soon as I stepped off the plane, he said, look, young buck, I'm going to give you the keys to the dealer car.

Get lost, find your GPS, and you can have this forward expedition for the whole year. So that's the kind of love I was used to. So I get exactly what you're saying, man. They just broke everything down, whether it's on the field or off the field, and they weren't worried about nobody taking their position.

They were like, man, if we win, everybody you know, you win Super Bowls, everybody get paid. Whether you're on that team or you go free agency, when you win a Super Bowl, everybody want to know how in the heck y'all won this Super Bowl and why.

But by the end of the day, it's our brotherhood holding each other accountable. We definitely had that in Pittsburgh for like 10 years. If you win, there's enough to go around is what they say. And then the next sign is like, maybe not here, maybe not here, but there will be enough to go around because they would like just a taste

of it. Come bring whatever you had into our building, and hopefully it will spread. Von Miller. You can just look at Von. Von won a Super Bowl. He just got 100-piece from Buffalo. Yeah, yeah, pretty good. So that's his second 100-piece. But they want them kind of guys in the building, in the locker room,

because they understand and know what it takes. That's why, and I say this so much it's getting annoying, but people that said Tom Brady's free agency was not going to be, you don't think every fucking team is going to want Tom Brady in their building? And then allegedly there wasn't a lot of teams that wanted him. It made no sense to me. I'm like, if Tom Brady comesady comes your building your equipment managers are better your training rooms better your chefs better everybody's better because they don't

want to fuck it up we got a guy i don't want to fuck it up it's like that type of stuff i think obviously some places do it some places don't some places win some places won't i mean that's just how it goes good connor yeah hey p Hey, PMAC. PMAC, fellas, Tom during the pandemic during the pandemic came into Tampa Bay really couldn't practice on any field because he came during the

pandemic during a pandemic a year after a year after the quarterback left my guy, 30 for 30 James Winston a year after the quarterback left, my guy, 30 for 30, James Winston. A year after James Winston left, came in during the pandemic and effed around and won a Super Bowl. It's unbelievable.

Value. This man holds nothing. They say he the GOAT. I say, no, no, no, no, no, no. He's a statue. Oh. Every city he goes in, they need to go and put a statue of this man

in front of the stadium, because that's all he been doing. He's been statuing with everybody he plays. So, hey, statue, a little one step above goat. Uh-huh. Oh, 100%. 100%. It froze up there. It was a great line, too. It was a great bar that you had there. This man's not a goat. He's a statue. Appreciate it. That was a great line too It was a great bar That you had there This man's not a goat

He's a statue Appreciate it That's a great I mean I'm gonna use it I'm gonna use it As like Taylor would say This dude's a fucking statue

He's not a goat He's Peyton Manning's a statue Right out here Lucas Oil Stadium by the way There's a Peyton Manning statue Out here that people come Flock to to take pictures

In front of Every time they come to a game It's like That makes sense Exactly right. Change the entire world. Last question for you, Ike. We can't thank you enough.

Go ahead, Connor. Yeah, Ike, with all the money that wide receivers have been getting this offseason, do you think corners are kind of the next in line to get those $30 million a year contracts? Say that again, I'm sorry. Do you think corners are probably the next position up to get those massive contracts like the wide receivers have been getting this year? Man, you see them boys getting the four for 90. My little young boy from Green Bay, he just got the four for 90.

30 million a year almost is what they're saying it's going to get to. Man, look, listen to me. I was born 15 years to her. God damn. You know what I mean? Jalen about to come up in a couple years. Jalen's going to watch. Man, these boys about to get the – there's no more, oh, baseball getting more money,

basketball getting more money. These corners, these wide receivers, because we just saw what Chita just got Tyreek Hill. Chita just got a nice little deal, and he just surpassed Devontae Adams. We just saw my young boy from Great Bay get a new deal, and the next one coming up, and whoever's going to get the next one, what, he's going to get 35 of you if he's that guy? So, yeah, P-Max, fellas, I'm just, mama, why y'all couldn't hold off? Patience! A little bit more patience. A decade and a half or so.

Everybody's numbers are going up. The NFL is in an incredible spot. I mean, they are in a very good spot right now. There's some shit that's about to go on off the field that could bring some light to some things that the NFL doesn't want. But as soon as Bill's Rams kicks off on that Thursday night to start the season,

the NFL is king. They know it. They know it with all these platforms and sportsbooks. Everybody that has all the money, everybody that has the money, platforms and sportsbooks, okay? They're the dominant performer on the platforms. And the sportsbooks all make money off their – I mean, there is just a never-ending...

They're only going to keep making money, which means the players will make money, but the NFL is only going to grow, I think, financially, massively, for everybody. Yeah, the young boys understand. They know their value. They're not taking the home team discount no more. Like, when I came,

we'd take a little home team discount, and I'm glad I did stay on Pittsburgh. But the young boys right here, they chasing that money. Because they say, man, if a ring come, a ring come. But you know what? That ring ain't paying my bills. This fat ass contract I'm about to get is going to pay my bills

and this is going to be generational wealth. I've seen a lot of people try to sell their rings later. I ain't never seen anybody try to sell the money they make. I don't know. We appreciate you for joining us. How is New Orleans? You down there right now? I'm in Orlando. I'm in the O.

Oh, yeah, yeah. We been back to New Orleans lately? Yeah, I think I'm going to shoot down this Saturday, bro. Let's go. How is it? We were there literally the week before COVID. I was in New Orleans at a Pelicans game. I announced Zion and the boys.

I introed them. Then we hopped on a plane back to Indy. And I think COVID was like epicenter in New Orleans. And it was a week later. Haven't been back. Is New Orleans back? Do you know? Is it all the way back?

No, no. I hit that once a month. Slide through. Next time you're down there, slide through. We'll have a great time. I know y'all like to have a good time. Yeah, yeah, through. We'll have a great time. I know y'all like to have a good time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll have a great time.

Okay, we will do that. Ladies and gentlemen, Ike Taylor. Thank you very much. Thank you, bro. We are normally joined by a college football national champion, a Super Bowl champion, a Ryder Cup champion.

So that's very nice of you to do that for a guy, Goombs. How are you doing, pal? I'm doing good, pal. Watched the match last night.

I'm sure you guys already went over it, but I thought it was somewhat exciting at times. Yeah. Okay, so let's... Nothing against the players. Nothing against anyone in the field. It's just the format is just kind of awkward at times. Okay, let's expound upon that.

What do you mean? Do you think it should be shorter? Do you think it should be a little bit more lively? Do you think it should be different players? Do you think it should be pros and amateurs? What are your thoughts on it? It's not that exciting all the time. Well, I don't really have a whole lot of solutions for this.

Honestly, I don't know. That's the thing. I'm not sitting here complaining about it, saying, like, this was garbage. I love it. I hope they continue to do it. But I'm saying for the full 12 holes, it's hard to keep everybody dialed in, I think. I think so, too. There is definitely a lull, which I think happens with regular golf,

but the golf shots kind of carry the program, and we kind of know what we're expecting. In this particular case, I think we're all looking for an entertainment, right? Entertainment, entertainment, entertainment. And if it's going for five fucking hours, I mean, there's going to be a lot there, but the cast of characters that they bring together and assemble for the match is massive.

I mean, that is an all-star crew, AJ. You have three different networks putting people on there, let alone J.J. Watt, the greatest of all time, back-to-back MVP, Aaron Rodgers, who is just Aaron Rodgers, and everything Aaronaron rogers does will get talked about by anybody patrick mahomes who became america's sweetheart again yesterday hoss and some beers and josh allen it might be what the nicest friendly most up yeah of all the

time i do feel in this i might it might be a misread here i think tom brady massive fan of josh allen okay honestly and i think think Tom Brady looks at Josh Allen, and he called him chunky a few different times. I think Tom Allen looks at Josh Allen and goes, why the fuck are you not, like, you know, why are you not eating avocado ice cream right now, doing everything you possibly can? Because what you could, what you are right now,

first of all i think tom legitimately sees that in josh i think because my wife obviously is a anti-tom brady person she grew up in indianapolis quotes patriots i mean that just yeah the amount of things that tom brady happiness in moments that tom brady kind of took out of this city and a lot of different cities there's a reason for but as he was like continuing to go at josh allen you know she was like see he's a fucking asshole basically and i'm like i think he—I think that's like a form of— Absolutely. If you don't like him, you probably just ignore the dude and have nothing to say.

That's what I'm thinking, too, right? As I was listening to it, I'm like, I feel like Tom's looking at Josh like, hey, Josh, you have the capability. Put it all together. You have the capability to be a fucking absolute tank. And in that quarterback conversation with Ernie Johnsonson which was great i enjoyed it i loved it i i missed the first 10 minutes i didn't know they were running it they were marketing i thought for the bleach report app and on the guide it said it was playing guardians of the galaxy volume two something like that so i somehow didn't know that it was happening so i missed the first 10 minutes

but listening to josh allen talk about tom br Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers commitment to staying in shape for as long as they are. And for everything like that. I was like, I related to Josh. I was like, Josh, you ain't fucking lying, dude. Like the amount of discipline it takes to continue to be a professional athlete and have your body be able to perform at those ages is not just on the field. That's off the field as well. That's your entire life. So I think Tom was like saying to Joshosh like hey let's fucking go but he was a little hard on old josh allen

and josh was laughing the whole time having a good time well found the driver about 10 holes too late like josh looked like maybe the coolest guy out there having a good time but the tom and josh interaction made me believe that Tom looks at Josh and is like, hey. I can see that. How old is Josh Allen? 26. Yeah.

I mean, think of the different stages of life. He's 26. Tom Brady's 44, which is nuts to think about how great Tom looks too. But, I mean, was Tom doing all this when he was 26? I don't think he had found this whole plan yet well that's what i think happened though i think at some point if we watch if we remember the last dance for tom brady man in the arena there it is terrible guy i'm a bad guy anyways in there it felt like he found his routine you know and the

transformation of the face from being uh baseball, you know, now, you know, but the dieting and the whole, like, buying in completely was something that happened through his career. And I think that is what he was trying to say to Josh. Like, it is time for you to start doing this whole thing. And I honestly believe it's because of what he thinks Josh could potentially become. Well, and I assume Brady, too, when he looks back at it, he thinks like, man, if I were to start doing all the shit I did in my 30s at Guerrero when I was 26, like Josh Allen, I could have had, you know, 10 Super Bowls, like even though he still has seven.

And obviously that's why he came back unfinished business. Like, you know that he still thinks about those times where they were close enough, but maybe his body wasn't, you know, completely still healthy towards the end of the season. And he knows that if Josh Allen were to do that, he could easily be the guy for the next 20 years. Because Josh is a freak show athlete. We'll be able to get away with doing things for a very long time because of how athletic he is. He'll be able to get away with it. He'll probably still jump over people and not even work on his.

I don't know what he does. He works ass off i'm not saying that but josh is able to get away with a lot i think is what tom is saying whenever he's saying this to him if you were to really fucking go that's just my take i could be wrong because that did seem to be a constant throughout the entire show you know so i think that is definitely another a Aaron went dead quiet for three hours. What happened? I mean, I feel like I predicted this. It's a problem. What do you mean? Guess what?

So he went quiet for a little bit, which we all know. We don't all know. We don't all know. What happened? No, so if you're playing good golf, it's a lot easier to bounce around the fairways and chat a little more, right? Yeah. Sure. You notice Aaron may have went quiet for a little bit when they were up too.

Cool, things are going great. Here we go. I'm chatting. And then when they start losing, they even it up. You may get a little bit quiet. But if you notice, when Aaron made that, he made a birdie putt, I believe, or he made a putt to take it down to they were only down one, I believe. Hole 10 or something.

And he instantly started talking again. Hole 9 or hole 10. Yeah, whenever that was that's when he he makes that putt and then he smiles and turns around and says something i'm like okay he's back here we go yeah he ran up the hill and he came back for something they said he was going to change his putter or something like that i have no idea what he did he came back yeah because there was a moment where he was you know i didn't know if the thing stopped working. Did he know they were talking to him at certain different times? Because they said, like, hey, Aaron.

And he was clearly just not answering them, which is fantastic. But the way that started and the way that ended had to be exactly how Aaron Rodgers drew it up. All right, going to come in, birdie this thing. I'm going to end it with a 15-foot putt on a birdie, my own birdie. And we're going to go ahead and win. I mean, what a fucking night for aaron rogers yeah aj i'd say i mean yeah how you start and how you finish that's what people will remember we don't know what happened in between that but i mean it was a very competitive match too and they would have gone what and done the

closest to the pin if he didn't make this which he had just won by the way yeah and i was thinking about people talking about him not winning the closest to the pin back again like just all the things that were potentially going to be said about aaron through that entire thing i was just thinking about because he's a fascinating guy and i get attacked you know because what were the only people that say like good stuff about aaron rogers i think the back-to-back mvp sorry about it sorry about it sorry sorry everybody else wants to bury him i understand that's like cool to do Back-to-back MVP. Sorry about it. Sorry about it. Sorry. Sorry. Everybody else wants to bury him. I understand that's cool to do.

Know him. He's nothing like any human I've ever encountered, I don't think. I'm not sure. But he's actually a human out there, and he's just his own person. Him alluding to the fact that he was thinking about retirement, which I don't think is – I think it's the first time he's done that publicly, right? I don't know. On here he has a little bit, right? I don't know. On here he has a little bit, right?

I don't know. That's what I was trying to figure out, whether those conversations were happening off air or on air. If he had chatted about retirement being a thought. He's like, what, 37, 38? 38. He's 38 years old. Talking about contemplating retirement in an intimate conversation with three other fucking goats and Ernie Johnson in this morning it was all Aaron's making it all about himself that was pre-recorded that was pre-recorded he's getting better so we're getting attacked for even bringing that up but the retirement thing at the age of 38 and he mentioned it he was like

Tom Brady's got everybody's expectations on it like he actually said to him like everybody's expectations of this is crazy you know and he talks about life after football do you think he'll do you think he'll sail into the sunset with ease like you're friends with him it feels like he's into so much shit right he says he will he definitely says like he's gonna be fine stepping out of the spotlight and doing whatever that he wants to do he He loves to travel and do all of that. I mean, I would imagine seeing Tom Brady's Fox deal, it gets him a little bit interested. Hey, maybe I could try TV. I don't know.

I would think that would be the case. Hey, great calves yesterday. Yeah. Oh, he's very proud of that. Oh, yeah. What does he do? Does he just do those step-ups? No, calves are genetic, man.

You know that. Well, Johnny Drama believes that. What's going on? Everyone just brought up the Tom Brady deal. Does him being an alien and being very super corny make anybody worry about him being the number one broadcaster? Or we're just good? What are you talking about? He had some good moments on that match.

I mean, it was. I fucking almost shit myself, and I did piss my pants a little bit when he said there was a picture of Lombardi on a golf ball. He said, Josh, you ever seen one of these? And Josh was like, yeah, man, I have seen the Lombardi. I haven't won one.

The press conference was tough, dude. There were some moments in the press conference that were very tough. Tom Brady couldn't hear J.J. Watt's questions that he was reading from the internet J.J. tried his absolute best by the way J.J. tried his absolute best in that press conference I don't know how that was the press conference what they chose to go with you got you got Tom Brady Aaron Rodgers J.J. Watt Patrick Mahomes Josh Allen I don't know how that press conference was the decision of what they were going to do just sit there read from an iPad ask the questions from the internet whatever the case anytime we can hear these

dudes speak awesome okay absolutely love it tom could not hear the questions from jj or tom hated jj or tom was so dialed into the gulf that he didn't want to fucking talk about it ben tom was getting pissed when they talked in his backswing when it threw his ear i would too though wouldn't you yeah i always wonder that like that's why I tried to ask Aaron after the last one, what is it like wearing the AirPod? What can you hear? Because sometimes I would imagine they shut their AirPod off when they stand over the ball because didn't Ernie even say that?

Well, we were under the assumption you couldn't hear us when you're over the ball, Tom. Well, that's because Tom said, hey, who's working the comms, I think he said, or something like that, because that's a real important thing, I believe. Oh, yeah, and i don't know how they shut them off shut them on can you yeah i don't know how so maybe the person holding the phone just turns on the volume and that's in control with your airpod so you have that person that holds a phone next to you so that's what they're doing i think they have somebody with a phone and then you saw the person coming with

the satellite too there's somebody that came in with like a little backpack thing that was basically service i think for all those phones and everything out on the course because there's somebody that came in with like a little backpack thing that was basically service i think for all those phones and everything out on the course because there's a lot of break they say i haven't heard it's broken up or whatever i think that was a connection issue so i would assume it's maybe and look at us just figuring this out on air probably should talk about this off air or maybe ask them how it goes but it's much more fun you can just mute it you don't have to hit the well mute would well that'll be you go any other way yeah you're right yeah yeah you have to turn it i think that person would have to turn it down completely and that probably happens as soon as you get over the rock as soon as you you step up because

i i don't think i would be if somebody was having a conversation with me and i'm sitting over there the ball is fucking tiny and then you're trying to hit a spot that big let alone a conversation happening i think that's why people get so mad oh yeah that may help me that may help me though in that in that match like i'd be you're worried about that you're not thinking as much about your swing i think constant sound maybe right yeah music yeah if they jump in out of nowhere in the middle of your backswing yeah but if they're talking as you're you're approaching whatever and you have a little you get up there and you don't sit there and waggle nine times and take four practice swings and you actually hit it fast then they'll be in your back i can have a conversation with somebody while golfing,

but if you're doing this thing for them, there's like a few hundred thousand dollars on the line. Yeah. Like there's a lot of shit going on. And you're not talking constantly. It's just like a little chime in. Like I think that would be more like, all right. Especially when you have all those people lined up

and it's like if that startles you and you fucking skull one or hit it off the nose and hit some guy right in the forehead. That guy's a warrior, by the way. Yeah. Thank you, AJ. We agree. You hear off the nose and hit some guy right that guy's a warrior by the way yeah thank you aj we agree you're allowed that thing hit right off the skull hey can we run that one time real quick please run this sound and then we got a guest that'll join us who is no stranger to wearing you know helmets which i think they should hand out the next match if you're gonna be a fan because they were just plucking folks this happened on the par three lost it lost it sun's too bright Because they were just plucking folks. This happened on a par three. Lost it.

Lost it. Sun's too bright. Oh, my God. That would hurt so bad. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Yeah. Show us the bump. Oh, shit. Never did. Never did show it, did you? Today, we need an update. Hey, sir. Medic, you need a call? Yeah. Whoa. Oh, shit. Never did. Never did show it, did you? Today, we need an update. Hey, sir. Medic, can he come? Yeah.

Whoa. I like that. He's smiling. Hey, sir, get the fuck off. Oh, my God. Did you really get hit? Oh, my God. Hold on.

Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit.

Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit.

Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. The match sounds like a great time. Yeah, it does.

Joining us, that guy was a hard A. Sola. That was a whack. Oh, man. Ball in the air. Ball in the air. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. You get a ticket and a helmet. Yeah, I should have a helmet. They should just make a baseball helmet, like batting helmets with the match on it. Both ears. They need both. Yeah, we're batting from both sides of the plate. DH helmet.

Yes. Switch hitter. Be an athlete. Let's pivot to another sport, please. Imagine them having a stand of those helmets. Oh, it would be unbelievable. There you go. Next match.

Good luck out there. They were just milling around, too. There was no real control over the fans. There was no, nobody telling them where to stand. They would park their cart, and then the fans, whenever Tom would come back to his cart, the fans are all over him. Asking for an autograph. I'm kind of in the middle of something right now.

What are we doing? I mean, what a scene. Anyways, joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, a man that you could see on ESPN. He was on Scott Van Pelt last night, had an absolutely legendary champion performance, which reminded me this morning, oh, I think we have a connection to said person. Can't wait to chat with him.

Eastern Conference, Western Conference finals currently happening for the NHL. Joining us, former NHL goalie, NHL insider, ladies and gentlemen, Weeksy Kevin Weeks. Yeah, Weeksy! What's up, man? Thank you, thank you. Hold on, were you just talking about helmets? Did I just hear you right? Yes.

We're trying to figure out this match. You didn't get to. Yeah! Okay. That's smart. Maybe we give out ice buckets at the next match. Hotel ice buckets. Oh, Weeksy.

Yes. Fucking props. Yeah. We got props. Let's go. Weeksy, listen. Let's dive, Weeksie. Yes. Fucking props. Yeah. We got props. Let's go. Weeksie, listen. Let's dive right into it. I have one question for you, and I have props as well, pal.

Where's it going? Who's going to be hoisting? Who is going to be hoisting baby Lordo? Lordo. Lordo. Love you, Lordo. Lordo. Who's going to be hoisting baby Lordo, you know, as a Stanley Cup champ?

Obviously, the Rangers in the lightning last night blow everybody's expectations out of the water and goals being scored. That was supposed to be a goalie battle. Six to two, eight goals being scored over there. Then in the West, it was, what, seven to six at one point. I mean, the NHL playoffs are electrifying, but if you're a goaltender, you hate it. Is water going to find its level here, or do you think this is what we're in for for the rest of this thing?

I think in the Eastern Conference Final with the Rangers and Tampa, the water is going to find its level because both those teams are great offensively, but they're good defensive teams as well. They have two of the best goalies in the planet in Vasilevsky, who's a future Hall of Famer, and of course in the young Igor Shishirkin with the Rangers, who's been money for them. So two of the best

goalies in the league facing off head-to-head. I think yesterday was a little bit of an albatross yesterday. I don't see this being a 6-2, 6-3 series each and every game from this point. And if I had to do the over-under, I'd probably set it at about 5.5 or 6 in that series. But in the West, man, the way it's going right now, it's like you guys playing backyard football or us playing street hockey as kids. So the scoreboard, I think if I had to take the over, I told SBP last night,

I'd probably be picking like eight, eight and a half for the over in that series. What do you got, Pat? I'm so sorry. Pat's currently drinking out of the baby. Whoa, Lordo. I didn't clean this. There it is. Oh, no.

Dust? No. As I was trying to smoothly take a sip of it, there was just things hitting me in the teeth. I'm so sorry, Weeksy. That's on me. Getting a chance to lift baby Lordo. Hell, yeah.

It's really changed my life here. You know what I mean? So you're drinking Lordo, dust, and what else is in there, though? What's the beverage, though, bro? Green tea and championship grit. You know what i mean so you're drinking lordo dust and what else is in there though what's the beverage though bro uh green tea and championship grit you know what i mean that's what we got over here week c whatever you when you think about the nhl playoffs the rangers were the unexpected team here did everybody think the rangers were going to get here or is it the oilers who's who's really unexpected to be in the finals right now and what does it tell about the future of the nhl you think all right i had the rangers being in the east but i also had the florida panthers and the rangers

playing in this conference final now that being said the rangers are ahead of schedule right now they're superstars uh it's a bandage ad really of course chris crider panarin starting to come alive and their goalie igor shishurk and adam fox all those guys have gotten better at the play as the playoffs has gone on, but also their young players too. The kid line has been really good for them. In saying that, their ace is at home at the world's most famous arena at the Garden. I'm not surprised that Tampa's there because Tampa's still the standard. They're going for a three-peat. Nobody in sports is going for a three-peat right now. In the West, my surprise would be Edmonton. I thought Calgary was going to come all the way

through, but Edmonton's been great, fellas. They've played exceptionally well. Weeksie, what does McKinnon, what does this guy do so special? When I watch him, I feel like every highlight I see of the guy, he can do everything, but he's going coast to coast in between 13 defenders and scoring some crazy kind of goal. What kind of skill set does this guy have? His skill set is fire. It's very similar to that economy david on edmonton in in terms of his brain is able to process what he sees in sync with his speed which is supersonic it's like he has a v12 engine with his hands right so all those things are all in sync it's like what we see from mcdavid it's so difficult to defend you know i hear you guys

in football talk about yards after the catch or yards after the carry or whatever. Yack weeks. Yack, yack. Right? And I'm telling you, Nate McKinnon has that ability. With every stride, it's like he gains four and five yards with every single stride.

So it's like he gallops. He doesn't, like, skate. It's like he gallops. And every time he hits one of those, it's just separation on separation on separation. So that's what makes them two of the most uh entertaining players in our league but two of the most entertaining players in all sports to watch week see whenever you think about good goalieing and bad goalieing what is it seeing the puck some nights you're just not doing it because

it feels like like for instance the uh the vasilevsky the future hall of famer giving up a bunch last night you're just off what does it mean to be off one night? You're not seeing it? You're reacting slow? You're like, what is an off night for a goalie feel like? Yeah, every single goalie that plays out there, either him or her or them, you always think that you're going to stop every shot that comes towards you. That's your mentality.

And it starts in practice. You want to stop everything. If there's a shot coming to you, you want to stop it all the time every time that's the way we're programmed now in saying that sometimes your reads can be a little bit off sometimes your timing could be a little bit off sometimes your positioning might be a hair off and the margins are literally like razor blade thin between being a split second late or a split second on time or early and all of that to say sometimes the players on the other team get paid on the first and 15th too sometimes you just have to tip your hat to them every once in a while it's not as though there are leaky goals by Vasilevsky the Rangers

hit perfectly placed shots last night they were just on fire offensively and it happens to even the best like Vasilevsky so like Vasilevsky's just moving past it because i've heard goalies much like pitchers much like kickers much like golfers very isolated position you're your own worst enemy in there yeah yeah you know the feeling yeah you know before the 72 000 people in your in your game or 20 000 people at madison square garden they're like you suck before that happens you you're feeling like, frick, I suck. You know what I mean? It's like that's, you know, it's the weight of the world that you put on your shoulders to be there for your teammates and to be able to deliver for your squad and for the fans

and your family and stuff. So that mental game that you just pointed out, it's so important. But here's the one thing. The Tampa Bay Lightning and Basilewssky are 18-0 following a loss. Oh! That's good odds right there. Hey, that's good freaking gambling right there. Right?

That's the juice for you guys tomorrow night, so you better get your shekels ready and get them out. Yeah. Wiggs, you killed last night on SVP. I hope you know that. I was watching. I was up after the super intense golf match I watched and I was trying to catch up with the

Rangers-Tampa game because I missed it and I didn't know which way it was going. You crushed on there, man. Are you doing more of that? What do you got going on with ESPN right now? Thank you. I appreciate you, man. I love being on anything. I love doing color for games. I love doing studio. I've done SportsCenter stuff,

break news, you name it man i like to be a swiss army knife and do it all so i had a lot of fun with him svp's the man he's awesome your news breaking strategy is the best untouchable in the insider game live from a plane i think with a covid mask on from a plane one time from a tornado that was happening remember that wind he didn't have a windstorm. Couldn't even make out the words he was saying, but fucking broken, freaking broken the news right there. I mean, you are, we appreciate your commitment to the game, Weeksy.

Go ahead, Ty. Weeksy, how much does it come down to like a goalie just having a bad night or being on a team that has like a shitty defense? Like in soccer, we always see whenever there's a goal scored, the goalie is always bitching at whoever's on the team. It's their fault. But in the NHL, when a guy gets piped, he's just putting his head down. It's kind of assumed.

Are you talking to the defense constantly and asking those guys to raise their game? And Ken, one of these teams who's scoring seven, eight goals a game, is that going to translate to the uh the finals okay so as far as as far as goalies like your natural inclination first thing is like what what could i have done to make that freaking save like what did i not do there right that's the first thing how did i miss that how did i misread that misplay it whatever but then on top of that so you have that pressure that i was talking about but then the challenge is like any smart quarterback out there in in football you can't always really express what you feel because players your teammates get rashy so you can't always say like yo can somebody mix

in some help give me some help can i get a little support like with a lowercase s help me out around it you can't do that because you know that you know your teammates are going to get sour now listen vasilevsky has the cred to be able to flex his chest yeah and put it up in the air yeah but you can't necessarily do it now in terms of like the fans and stuff and even your teammates man you know how many times i've been on the bench and there's a goal that goes in it doesn't matter if it's like a future hall of favor like loong or lungquist or whoever i play with guys will come back to me they'll be like what's he doing yeah what's what's he doing back there i'm like do you understand who this is so you always have that kind of push pull where that's concerned and then as far as the west yeah i think one of those two teams clearly will get to the Stanley Cup final

playing that high-octane game that they're playing, that all-offensive game. I don't know if they can win that way, though. Why not? Why can't they win that way in the final? That's the answer right there, I think. I know because if you're... So, Hawker, if you're going up against either Vasilevsky

or Durkin, right? If you're going up against either of those guys, what are the odds that you're putting up a 7-8 piece on those guys at night? Not very good. Not very good. Not against your Sturkin, AJ. Right, Hawker. You know what I mean?

Like, the odds aren't really in your favor for that. With all due respect to those amazing offensive players, I'm either Colorado or Edmonton, so I don't see it playing out that way. But this is why when you ask me probably about 11 minutes ago who I think is coming out, who's going to win the cup, I think it's the Eastern Conference team. And right now I think it's the Rangers. Wow.

Rangers getting Lordo? Yeah, I think right now the way the Rangers are rolling right now, fellas, listen, for all my Tampa people out there too, because I play for both these teams, Tampa's the standard. Right? They're the standard. Tampa Bay, Stamco, Stampa Bay,

Tom TB12, Tompa Bay, all that is factual. But the way the Rangers are going right now, I wouldn't be surprised if they end up winning. In short, whoever comes out of the East is winning the Cup for me. Should be the Penguins, honestly. Should be the Penguins.

Connor, go ahead, pal. Yeah, Weeksy, I mean, the first game of the Oilers-Avalanches was 8-6. Like, how the hell does a goalie go back out on the ice and not just be a complete pretzel in his brain? Because, I mean, both teams are scoring at will right now. First of all, you're rocking the Wayne Gretzky or John O'Grodnick helmet back there at the studio, which is amazing.

Hell yeah. It's amazing, by the way. It's a good bucket. It's totally a bucket. That's a walnut shell right there. Hell yeah. Oh, you got a walnut shell. I'm a walnut guy.

Hey, that's what Hawker wore in the NFL. Yeah, that's right. He wore a walnut shell, old Hawker. Les Paddy. Yeah. You's right. He wore a water shell all over. Yeah. You love it. Ah, shoot. But I would say,

you just, honestly, guys, I go back to playing youth hockey in Toronto as an eight-year-old. And the same way people react when you're letting goals at eight

is the same way they react when you're playing in the show, in the national. Literally. And you know that's going to be the case, and your expectations are that high of yourself.

So you've got to just reset and think about this and say, hey, listen, man, we are right now four wins away from playing for the Stanley Cup. Lorto. To play for Lorto. Four wins. That's what it takes now to get there. Think of all the workouts, all the dry land training,

all the stairs, protein, creatine, apple cider vinegar. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? That you had to go through to just get in this position. So that's the way you got to reset mentally. You just made me run through a wall. I'm dating Lordo here. I wanted big Lordo.

Last question for you here, Weeksy, and we can't thank you enough for joining us. We know you've had- Anytime. Really? Anytime, bro. I'll come on anytime. Anytime you need me.

And thanks to my boy, Ruppers. Go ahead, though. Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you. No, Ruppers is the best. I'm saying you're the freaking best, dude. Thank you for that. Nick, go ahead, pal. Weeksy, another goaltending question. I'm going to kind of lay it, dude. Thank you for that. Nick, go ahead, pal. We see another goaltending question.

I'm going to kind of lay it out in a scenario, and I want you to explain to me if this is true or not. I have a theory. When I play golf with an individual in the office, we'll call him Bruce. He is terrible at golf, and it makes my game worse. I feel like this can happen with goaltenders. When you go into a series and you're playing against Mike Smith, who is not terrible per se, but he does things a little bit unconventional,

and he has a little bit of goofiness to his game. I feel like that's kind of infectious, and I feel like it can infect the other goalies. Do you get that same sense? Is that a real thing? You know what's funny that you asked me that? My personal goalie coach that I had when I played

in the league, Sudsy Maharaj. He's been Anaheim's goalie coach for years now. My man Sudsy, he always used to say that goalies subconsciously and consciously will mirror people that they play against or they play with. And it's so

true. And if you watch players and you watch goalie specifically goalie a like if you watch just jerking for example he has a lot of lundquist traits in his game right and that was the guy he grew up idolizing that was the guy he saw in new york that's the guy he played with so he grew up idolizing him and kind of emulating him in some of his games in his game. I think the same thing when you're watching down at the other end and you're seeing who you're playing against. They're doing things and you're seeing them do some things like you're like, oh, shit, I could do this. Like Mike Smith is a great puck handler, right?

He's a great puck handling goalie. One of the best. Totally. So then all of a sudden you see him down there. You're like, I could go out there and do that. Next thing you know, you go out there, you throw a giveaway. The pizza, as we call it, it's like a pizza giveaway. Delivery right onto the other player's stick, and it's in the back of your net. You start trying shit that you don't necessarily have in your own bag.

So, yeah, definitely I think that that's something that makes a lot of sense. You're onto something there with that. Well, hey, how about you, Nick? Let's go, Nick. That's hockey talk. He should maybe be that talky thoughts. What's up? Oh, that was pretty good there.

Weeksy, we appreciate the holiday, man. Can't wait to watch you the rest of the way on ESPN. We will definitely make a call again because you're not mimicking anybody. You're one of one, pal, and we appreciate that. Appreciate you, man. Back at you guys. You guys are doing great stuff. And keep up the awesome work, man. You're breaking the mold. So thanks for having me. We appreciate that. Appreciate you, man. Back at you guys. You guys are doing great stuff. Keep up the awesome work, man. You're breaking the mold.

Thanks for having me. Let's go! Let's have a freaking Thursday, ladies and gentlemen. Kevin Weeks. We see! Joining us now is a man who got to experience that at Notre Dame. Got to experience it in the NFL. Now he's on television. He's this man's

brother-in-law. He's obviously incredibly handsome. Ladies and gentlemen, Brady Quinn. Holy hell. You look like that all the time. I don't know if you guys can see what's behind me. I think AJ might be more familiar with this picture. So hopefully AJ can elaborate or add some context to all of that. Is that chopper up over your left ear?

That's chopper. Wow. That's chopper. AJ, what? How'd you get that in your background? What happened? Well, this is, yes, this is a golf cart submerged. What?

Why are you fully dressed underwater? Thank you, Brady. Okay, Brady, I mean, yeah, I guess we have to mention it, Brady. Pat, you know, this golf cart, the e-brake just didn't work on me. I was parking close to the green. I rode that joker right into the pond because it took a right turn. This was like 12 years ago. I jumped in instantly.

Oz is the other guy looking for his cigs. That was no help. And then Brady and Chopper were in my group. They came up about 10 seconds later, and they both just dove in instantly and started helping. So you, hold on, Brady. We did not finish our round. You drove this cart directly into this pond.

You are a fucking menace. Keep behind the wheel, AJ. You drive with both feet. You sleep. Your hands are all deformed because of your broken fingers. You're driving golf carts into ponds. How hammered?

Are you blacked out drunk in this thing? No, I wish I was. That's the problem. I was not. Sober. Oh, my God. This guy. I was trying to get there.

Brady, how do you let this guy marry your sister? How do you let this guy marry your sister, Brady? Let me add some more context to all this, okay? This is at Rattlesnake Ridge. This was the first year, our first fundraiser for my foundation, the Third and Gold Foundation, which helps support wounded vets. So AJ was kind enough to come out and obviously support the cause. Now, I guarantee you he was not sober for this

because we actually took a party bus to rattlesnake ridge oh hey no one was sober at this thing what i'm saying is i played many times with many more drinks in me and didn't wreck a cart is all i'm saying oh okay sure all right chopper hopping in there though is he uh scuba diving hey he goes to the bottom and grabs some clubs though is he uh scuba diving hey he goes to the bottom and grabs some clubs he said all you do is open your eyes that murky water you can find whatever you need to down there all those eyes were burning afterwards chopper chopper wanted to take our car because i was riding with chopper aj was with oz and he wanted he want us to take our belts and tie them together to actually like pull out smart the out with one cart the other cart,

but there's no chance we're going to be getting out once it was submerged this deep. So what were the names? Chopper, Oz, Brady, and AJ golfing on a course, Rattlesnake course. Rattlesnake Ridge, yeah. Hey, well, I appreciate you trying to give back to the vets and everything like that, and obviously AJ's got to make it about himself.

Right, per usual. And cost, you know, make everything. I have not been back to this course. You don't say. They asked us not to come back. That was the first of last year. We had our fundraiser there. I got that card out of the pond

though. Obviously, I had to pay for it because I said, no, I'm bringing a trailer and we were getting this joker. We took it. Honestly, the course was really cool about it they were just trying to make sure everyone was okay maybe it's because of whatever was in the water uh but as aj said oz who's right there he did at one point we all got out realizing we weren't saving the golf cart he literally dove back in to get a pack of i can't remember what it was probably yes floatingboro's probably floating somewhere.

He like swam across this pond just to go get it. Hey, Brady, are you from Ohio? Yes. Okay, so you are this incredibly handsome, you know, TV guy, but in your roots, you're an Ohio guy. Of course. Yeah, absolutely, through and through. Notre Dame, Ohio State,

was there ever a thought to go to Ohio State as an Ohio guy? Of course, yeah. They not offer you? They did, yeah. Luke Fickle recruited me. They kept recruiting me even after I had committed. It just, it wasn't the right fit for me. You know, I think, you know, obviously, you didn't know AJ through the years.

We probably talked a little bit about it, but Notre Dame, I think, just kind of fitted what I was looking for academically from a football perspective, all that stuff. And then I like the Hoosiers too. I feel like I'm partially a Hoosier after being in the state of Indiana for those formative years. Okay, so whenever you go to Notre Dame and you become this massive – I mean, Brady Quinn, you became like your own entity almost on ESPN and everybody, you know, everybody talks about the Tebow years on ESPN and obviously the LeBron years is as Gertie LeBillionaire now. Yeah.

Congrats to LeBron. But you were also somebody that the media immediately loved because obviously you're at Notre Dame team. Very, very very very good you are this well-spoken very attractive dude that they could put out there whenever you find out that your sister is dating AJ Hawk and then she has that split jersey it was it at that moment you regretted a lot of things or did you feel did you feel good about it all, Brady? I mean, I played A.J. back when we were really young. We were in a travel football league, and their team ended up beating us back then. He played for Centerville.

But we got kicked out of that league for using stick them. But that's neither here nor there. So I kind of obviously knew of A.J. growing up through those years. obviously knew of AJ, you know, growing up through those, through those years. And then obviously when my sister had told me at that point, you know, who she was dating and all that, it was cool. I didn't think we'd eventually, you know, see him in a bowl game that season, but I think our first interaction was around like a family Christmas, which with our family and our extended family can be a little bit crazy,

but AJ was kind of quiet, but he handled it pretty well. And I kind of survived. So I figured at that point he was probably in it for the long haul. All right, let's talk about football now, and I know A.J. has some questions because he's been talking about you coming on the show for the last two hours. So long, yeah.

I hope you know that. We were talking to NHL goaltender Kevin Weeksey, and all A.J. wanted to talk about was the fact that his brother-in-law was coming on the show. So we can't wait to dive into this. You think Notre Dame's going to be back ever? You think Notre Dame's a school that can win a national championship? Because I know as soon as Brian Kelly went down to LSU, a lot of the takes, especially by guys that are in the SEC,

they say, well, he'll be able to win a national championship now because the guys he can get at an SEC school versus the guys he can get at a cold Notre Dame school, vastly different need the South basically to win a natty. Do you think Notre Dame is going to be able to do it? And how do you feel about Marcus being the coach now? I love Marcus. You know, obviously I had the opportunity to get to know him last year when he was the defensive coordinator. And you could see like the biggest thing about him is he was genuine,

which kind of becomes like a stark contrast, right, between maybe how Brian Kelly transitioned to LSU and the basketball game accent and all that stuff. And just even, you know, how he left. And I was obviously critical about it back then and still am because he could have waited if he wanted to at least see if his team had a shot at playing for a national championship in the college football playoff, but he didn't. But that's all hindsight.

And I think getting back to Marcus, you know, the biggest thing about him is you could tell when the announcement was made, the genuine emotion from a lot of the players who believed in him, who, you know, kind of have this different sense of energy around just the university right now in the program. The other thing I'd say is that's different because someone asked me the other day, like, how is this different when, you know, you had a coaching change when you were there you went from tyron willingham to charlie you know it's different when you haven't had you know that same type of success that you're looking for then you bring someone in and then they kind of bring that success right brian kelly was really successful in the course of his career at notre dame won more games than any head coach that's been there granted without a national championship but still

you gotta give him a lot of credit for what he was able to build and do. And so the fact that he left on his own will, and there's obviously more to that story. And I can, you know, he can tell that story. Whoa, whoa, whoa. That sounded a little toxic there. Yeah, what, $90 million? I mean, what? Oh, okay. I mean, come on. No one's going to shame him for, offered $90 million and going down to LSU. But I think the reality is this. People felt wronged. There was a much more emotional, visceral reaction to then getting to those landmarks,

having such consistent success, and then choosing to leave. It's not a job that you go to and then you leave. It's like a job that you eventually get fired from or you retire at. So I think that bothered people. And I think it's actually motivated people around the program even more so to help out Marcus Freeman and to build this thing back up. But Marcus is one of those like young, bright, budding stars. I love the fact that he's a defensive guy. You know, it's like all the offensive guys tend to get all the credit and all the pub and the love like he's a defensive guy and i love that and everything he's done so

far so there's no doubt in my mind they can it just comes around to keep building off of the foundation that's been set right now brody two-part question here uh brian kelly why didn't any um like assistants really go with him to lsu and to jimbo, Nick Saban, who wins that ultimate, the, the duel. And how do you think it plays out throughout the season? Follow up. Does he call you Brody or did he, did we miss hear that? No, he calls me Brody. He, uh, it's the Southern pronunciation for Brady. Um, even though you guys are Brody. Yeah. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. Um, yeah. I mean, Nick Saban all day. Like that's just,

Nick Saban is going to win that battle all day with Jim O'Fisher. I'm sorry. Are you surprised to see that, though, see how personal it got? No, I mean, there's been a lot of talk about what's been happening in college football over the past couple of decades and how Nick Saban's kind of built up what he's built up. And so I think there is honor amongst know, honor amongst thieves, I guess is what you'd call it, where in recruiting, you know, everyone's pushing the boundaries in some

ways. And, you know, they don't want to, they're not calling each other out for it, but this is an instance where someone kind of did, and it wasn't even legal. Like NIL is out there now, it's legal. And it wasn't even being, you know, talked about as far as how it can affect inducement for high school recruits or transfer portal guys. And so all that was illegal. And I think even Nick Saban said that. He's like, I wasn't saying there was anything wrong with it. He was more speaking to his boosters like, hey, look, if we want to be successful and stay on top, we're going to have to start doing this too. So Nick Saban will still win out this battle when it's all said and done. But the question about Brian Kelly,

there were some assistants that went down there with him. Brian Pullian in particular, he went down with him too. He has done a great job recruiting. Obviously, Bill Pullian's son, who I'm sure Pat's familiar with. Oh, yeah. And then, you know, I think there was a couple other coaches from the staff who went down with him. But, no, I think a lot of people looked at, you know,

where they're living at Notre Dame, have families and the opportunity, and they probably look at that and say, hey, I'd rather hang around here. I'd rather kind of see what's that next step here instead of trying to build back up that LSU program. Everybody cares about their families. And, Brody, the big noon kickoff show, is that main focus in your life during the fall? Is college football like your bread and

butter the sport that you love most do you do a lot of nfl talk what is it it's both i mean honestly it's both i think nfl as you guys know it drives ratings i mean you guys have aaron on every single week and everyone's kind of you know sitting around waiting for what he was going to say and how it's going to end up hitting and being being you know taken and stretched and pulled and then working off whatever angle they can off that. That's the media nowadays. So that's the large bulk of it. Weekends, it's always college football, though.

So that's a ton of fun. But yeah, no, I mean, I like doing both, honestly. Like, I think what got me interested when I got into broadcasting about trying to do both was really Grant Hill. Like, I grew up being a huge Grant Hill fan and watching him do NBA but then seeing him during march madness i always thought to myself why can't you know more football broadcasters do both i mean kirk herb street does a hell of a job

calling games for espn now he's got the amazon package you see during draft time everyone relies on all the guys calling college football games because they have the most intimate knowledge of these kids from high school to college, college to the NFL. So, you know, why not pull in guys who've watched some of these guys play, you know, from the time they're in high school all the way up through college and then into the NFL? It makes kind of complete sense to be able to help out whatever network and whatever capacity you can. So whenever you think about that big noon kickoff show. Yes. Are you guys? Chop off. Are you guys planning on taking that on the road again?

Oh, yeah. We'll be on the road, baby. Oh, boy. So you guys are like telling people, hey, we want to cry. Bring signs. Yeah, we'll be there. We're promoting it all week long. We go to the bars, the chop houses, all that stuff.

That's what we're saying. That's what we're saying, Brody. You're going to get caught in the crosshairs here. All right. We're going to the dance floor. Dance floor, wherever you need us to be, man. We'll be there. No. Yeah.

You love that show? We work for the best. You enjoy that show? Is it taking a step each year, you think? And is it going to continue to grow? Oh, yeah. And if Urban's back on that show, are you guys just going to hire 45 people to run through the crowd and take out signs that are

definitely going to be created? I can't speak to any of that. I mean, if Coach is back, he'll continue to help us continue to keep building this thing. It was a ton of fun back when he was with us before. AJ knows. Every time I was in Columbus, which it seemed

like when Coach Meyer was with us, we were there like every other week. But usually I try to get AJ to come down. And they're good buds. They're over at different charity events, laughing it up, had a few drinks and cigars together. Hawker at the Chalk House. Of course.

Hawker at the Chalk House. That's awesome. I don't think Herb's likes cigars. Well, we do know. On occasion. The boys have a couple questions for you, Brady. Is that alright? Sure. Well, the first one I guess I should ask before we get

out of the way. Can you send us the original copy of that photo so we can put it on a t-shirt and then raise money for your third and gold foundation thing? Well, this might surprise you guys, but it's obviously not my original copy because clearly I'm right there in the water. So I've got to get it from someone else. I'll try to find the original

copy to blow up for you. Yeah, we don't need the original. Just send us that one. We will rip that one from whoever it is. And you can figure out how to pay them back. But all money will go, obviously, to the Thurton Golf Foundation. And hopefully we'll put you back in good graces with that golf course that AJ literally ran off the fucking... What's that?

Hold on for a second. I mean, can we get you guys to come out this year? It's our 12th annual golf event. Oh, there's something going on. Oh, yeah. I'm just saying. Is Pat already backing out of this?

There's something going on. Is this like I'm inviting you to my wedding and you send a nice gift instead of actually bringing your presents? That gift is going to be nice. It's going to be good.

Unbelievable. I'll tell you what. I've been signed up for a couple different charity events out of nowhere that I definitely did not commit to. And then, you know, they put on like, they put out flyers and stuff that I was going. And, you know, normally old me, and this is me becoming a little bit of a fucking asshole, I guess, old me would have felt obligated to go.

New me said, can't do it. I honestly can't do it. Real quick then, can I at least get you to do this? We might need you because I've seen you at the different, you know, various wrestling events. You're doing a tremendous job with that. Thank you. Can we at least get you

to pump up the guys? Pump up the crew for the vets? Yes. All right. I'll give a good motivation. When is it? When's this thing happening? August 15th.

It's football season. That's right when we're moved. It's on Monday. Yeah, we're doing the move. That's right when we're actually making a big switch. There is something set on the calendar for that exact day.

Where is it at? Where is it at? The golf club at Tartan Fields in Dublin, Ohio. Ohio. It's in Ohio? Brady's pretty strong. Get him to help us move, too. There you go.

Hey, we got that foundation thing going on as well. Could you move your golf turn? Yeah, I'm just saying. We can't move our event, but I can try helping you guys out in whatever way. Are you, are you still ridiculously yoked? Are you in on that body fat percentage battle with AJ Carpenter? And tell him about your garage.

Brady, tell him about your garage. Brady has a what? Infrared sauna. He has a cold tub. Everything is a whole situation. I mean, first off the,

the sauna, it's great. Don't get me wrong wrong but my buddy who had played with the notre dame then went on played like a bajillion years in the nfl he ended up getting me it because he he got into a real estate he's a broker now so he he got into it gave it as a gift and so i had to put the thing together then find a spot for my garage it wasn't even like i really had a choice it showed up my house i like, all right, I got to build this thing. So, yes, there is a sauna in there that I try to use daily. How about the cold plunge?

Oh, yeah. I got one of those. You're working out? You're a morning workout guy? I know you're on the radio in the morning, which is insane. Hey, congrats to you. That's going to be awesome. You guys were talking about LeVar taking a big swing at old Drew Brees.

So that was on your show. Was that delivered as a shot? We just read the words. We didn't hear the words. That was a funny thing. So, you know, he said on our show, like, he was getting, like, death threats out of nowhere from all these huge Drew Brees fans. And I was like, I don't even remember us talking about this. I think it was like three weeks old.

And I guess someone picked up maybe from the podcast and ran it. And then I don't check social media. Then I guess someone picked up maybe from the podcast and ran it. And then I don't check social media. Then I started to check through. I was like, oh, I was like, people are really upset about this. And the reality was it wasn't meant to be a shot. It was more talking about the deal that Tom Brady signed and then talking about how the fact that like he's not as desired by networks as Fox, who's willing to sign Tom Brady to a $375 million deal. And he's not even done yet. I mean, Breeze did that to a degree with NBC, but it wasn't anything to this magnitude.

And obviously right now, it's not really to that magnitude. So it wasn't meant to be a shot. It was more kind of just talking about the whole situation. But it really escalated and got out of hand pretty quickly. Yeah, we were talking about it. We actually read it as a shot. Yeah, big time. We said the entire time. We don't know if this was... By the way, hoped it was.

Like, freaking collateral damage here. I didn't even say anything about it, but they put my face next to LeVar's. I had people left and right being like, why'd you say this about Drew Brees? I didn't say that. Brady, they're going to put your face on a lot of things. You've known that through your entire life. I mean, look at this.

Do you have a lotion routine? What the fuck do you do? You look younger than you were when you were at Notre Dame, Brady. Yeah, I don't know. Good genetics. It's all chopper. That guy right there. Look at that guy.

I don't know how old he is. But look, if you can tell, he's going down under. He's holding his breath. He's opening his eyes. And God knows what's in that water. Just to get up some of Ozzy's cigarettes and probably AJ's clubs because it was his back too and then aj's phone that's the other thing he didn't tell you about uh he was so panicked because obviously his phone was ruined at that point um but yeah it's all this guy all the gen x did you see what i see at the time of this photo nobody's doing it but when But when Chopper went underwater to get the clubs and stuff, did he plug his nose?

Absolutely not. No. Chopper? Chopper? Last time I was at home and Chopper and I went shooting, he doesn't wear ear protection, eye protection, nothing. Nothing. We went out to shoot Trap, and the guy was so irate with Chopper for just walking from spot to spot, like reloading everything you're not supposed to do.

And he was like, look, son. He's like, I've been through NOM. He's like, I'm good, all right? Just back off. And he calls everybody Chopper. This is your dad that is now AJ's obvious father-in-law. And I've heard these legendary tales. The first time I saw him was at one of those

Ohio State Code events that AJ and Laura have at their house or whatever. I was trying to go back into the house at the end of the night, and we were walking up the front steps, and there was one light on a rocking chair on the front porch that is, I don't know, 200 yards long because AJ Hawk was the fifth overall pick

or whatever. Not to be, hey, this is also a first-round pick. And he was just the fifth overall pick or whatever. Right. Not to be, hey, this is also a first-round pick ever. And he was just rocking on his chair or whatever, and he goes, hey, Chopper. And I'm like, oh, shit, this is the moment. This is the moment I'm going to meet this guy. What a legend. And seeing him go scuba diving here.

He just had a knee replacement, and my mom calls me. She's like, well, your dad was out on the motorcycle like three weeks later. I don't think he can even walk properly, but that chopper like he just he's gonna live life man do you think your family and extended family is the most interesting one in america i just learned what is it brad yeah brad from home improvements in your fucking family aj never told us i mean it's probably it would be a great reality tv. I don't know that they could pay us enough to get AJ to do it. But, I mean, honestly, the best character.

Oh, like the Duggars. Sure. But I'm just saying, besides Chopper, my grandmother is. Grandma Keg, as we call her. There may have been some Keggers at her house when she would be in Florida. Race back to Grandma Keg. Ty has his questions. Brady, you're the best, man.

Thank you for joining us here. Go ahead, Ty. Brady, speaking of not checking social media, you kind of kicked up a little bit of a firestorm. It was a quote attributed to you that basically said that you think Zach Wilson's going to fucking stink this year. Was that misappropriated, or did you really say that? Yeah, that wasn't exactly how I worded it.

Well, what I said that got a lot of Jets fans really upset was that their season's going to be over before the bye week this year, but I would just tell you guys, I mean, open up their first nine games and tell me who you think they should be favored against. It's tough. They played the entire AFC North

their first four games. They then played Miami, which is probably the most winnable game week five, I think. And look, this is obviously assuming that Deshaun Watson is starting for the Browns, which the more information

comes out about that, that's probably not going to be the case. Brady! Hey, that shit's wild. That's very serious. Very, very, very, very serious allegations.

And what the NFL has been through in the past with the, like, I'm very interested to see how that plays out Brady I think we all are there been in the NFL and have been watching the NFL this is a very fascinating thing because it's so serious well it's serious and I think that the tough part is is is he's like adamant that there was nothing wrong that was done 230 million guaranteed to I too? I mean, there's like a lot. There's layers to this about how it's kind of all unfolded and what could happen could change it all, I think, very quickly.

Well, so the other thing is, for the NFL perspective, is they obviously didn't do anything last year. Like they could have put on the exempt list where he still would have been paid while they're investigating or trying to figure out the civil suits. All 22 of them now, 23, maybe 24. But they didn't do anything. And so now it kind of looks like if they don't do anything now, like they've let them off the hook. And there's been other players who have had less brought up against them who have been suspended more than this. I mean, I think Zeke Elliott got, what, six games and he was supposed to be a repeat offender. But there's I mean, you go through the history of different players and their punishment i mean i've never seen anything like

this before i don't think we'll ever see anything like that again so i don't know how you go about trying to you know judge what wrongdoing took place but then even from from his perspective it's just it's interesting to me that he would not want to just settle and move on from this i mean 230 million million fully guaranteed. Obviously, they're going to want a big chunk of that, but still, move on with your life and go through this because clearly there's wrongdoing. They've already admitted to some of the acts being consensual. That's great.

But if you're paying for those acts and you're going through social media to get all these different massage therapists, I mean, they said he's had about 100 massages a year. I mean, it's ridiculous when you think about it. Like, clearly, there's something off there. In the trend, there seems to be a trend, right, with every single person. He's bringing his own towel? I mean, who brings their own towel to a massage therapist? A lot of people are asking that question.

A lot of people are asking that question. A lot of that question. A lot of people are asking that question. But follow up, like, unless it's one of the biggest conspiracies in the history, right? Because this would take people from all over the country to have similar stories and to connect and stay on the same page and go public with this and that whole thing. There's just so many trends to it all. And the NFL is doing their own investigation. They have to be hearing what's going on.

I just, I don't understand how or why. And they're talking about there's no end in sight. Then they're like, our investigation's wrapping up. Now there's another accusation. It's like, how will it play? And the Browns are paying them, what, $1 million salary this year. Right. So I assume the Browns and maybe his representatives were thinking this year,

was that because of signing photos so they didn't have have to salary cap it the way the contract set up. It's just, man, it's wild. And the NFL doesn't want this shit. Like, you know what? The NFL doesn't want this to be a representation of the league. Like I don't,

none of it makes sense to me how it's been handled, how we've gotten to this point. And it might all, there's a chance it goes back to like criminal, right? I think so. There's a good, I mean,

the burden of proof, obviously, and none of us here are lawyers, but the burden of proof would have to be higher to prove that. But there's always the case that could happen. That's a solid line there. Burden of proof. Is that what's been going on over there? Is that why you went to Notre Dame? Is that why you went to Notre Dame, not

Rockhead, Ohio State? It's kind of what you said. That's what you said earlier. You're like, well, the education I was looking for. Academics. And the football, I went to Notre Dame instead of ohio state and aj's like well i didn't talk for fucking four years there i'm hawker i'm on the all academic team uh it's crazy though i'm very interested to see it but i think we have the jet schedule i'm not 100 sure i think we have the jet schedule and whenever you said that i think a lot of people looked into it and it's ravens let's

assume lamar's all the way back they got brownss, Bengals, Steelers, Dolphins. Tua, by the way, is talking shit. We'll get to that in a little bit. That was awesome. Packers, Broncos with Russ, New England, and Buffalo. So by week 10, they have faced some incredible teams, which is what you were alluding to, I think, right? Correct.

And I just said, look, after this year, you got two years in with Zach Wilson. You know, it's going to be tough to overcome the position they may be in to take one of the quarterbacks that are coming out next year. And that's C.J. Stratton, Ohio State, who A.J. knows. You know, whether it's Bryce Young,

who I love at Alabama, a Heisman Trophy winner. The kid at Miami is going to, you know, raise a lot of eyebrows this year. Tyler Van Dyke. Will Levis at Kentucky. he'll be another guy. I mean, all four of those guys could go top ten next year, and the Jets will be in a position to take one of them.

Again, that has nothing to do with Zach Wilson in particular. It's just the fact that they'll be in a position to take one, and they might have a higher draft grade on that guy, and they might say, hey, look, we watched the Arizona Cardinals move on from Josh Rosen after one year and take kyler murray number one overall it worked and that's working out pretty well so far so you know maybe we look to implement something similar or even you know look at robert sala who came from the 49ers and look what they just did jimmy garoppolo got the 49ers for a super bowl still wasn't enough they go up and trade up to take trey lance number

three overall and now they're kind of seems like they're moving on from Jimmy G. So it's not like organizations don't take those sorts of risks when they feel like they can get a guy who's a game changer. All four of those guys I mentioned, I think are going to make a really good case for themselves this year to be a top 10 pick in next year's draft. And Jets, because of this schedule, will probably still be there waiting to pick. Such good analysis, dude. Brady, what about the Bengals? Are they going to be able to continue to make a run like year after year i think so i mean i think joe burrow is a stud uh honestly like if you're looking at i mean so let's go back to the sean watson contract 230

million guaranteed like if i was joe burrow or justin herbert or lamar jackson I'm like, Kyler, okay, Kyler. I didn't miss last season due to 22 separate allegations or civil lawsuits. And I have done arguably, I think you might not say they've done more than Deshaun Watson statistically, but all those guys have been on that track record. Joe Burrow, you can make the case, he's won an AFC championship. It's not like that's been the case necessarily for Deshaun Watson with the Houston Texans during his time there.

So you can literally make the case that they all would be justified in wanting to have more than that. I don't know anyone who's going to sign these quarterbacks to a contract that's going to be fully guaranteed who's that desperate. And I guess Jimmy Haslam and the Cleveland Browns were that desperate at that point. Burrow would be a guy that comes to mind for that deal. Herbert would be a guy. Lamar Jackson would be a guy. Kyler Murray, you'd

think, but I don't know. It was kind of odd how things have played on this offseason. It's almost like they've got hesitation. I don't know. I wish it would be Carolina, because I think that would be a good spot for him. But it would be odd, right? Like, he was drafted number one overall.

Darnold was drafted number three in the same draft. And then, like, Baker shows up there, and you're like, oh, hey, what's up, dude? Hey, I don't know. Hey, that draft night, terrible? You still think about it? No. No, because, I mean, I look back, like, I didn't know. I mean, AJ was there for some of that week, so he can talk about it.

I think we were. I was in the crowd. I watched the whole thing. Yeah. Well, at one point, what people don't realize is, like, we stunk up Roger Goodell's green room because we got a bunch of Chipotle. Like, we were so hungry because everyone was, like, sitting there forever. And I remember at one point, Roger came over and was like, hey, you know, we're tired of looking at your face on TV. Do you want to come in the green room?

And I kept thinking about, you know, Chopper and, like, you know, him and my mom and everyone else. I'm like, you know, they didn't really sign up for this. So maybe we should bounce over there. And, um, when we were sitting in there, everyone got hungry. So we ordered just a ton of Chipotle. And then all of a sudden when like the, the way the Browns ended up trading up the 22 to take me, it all happened pretty quick. And so I got like rushed out on the stage. I just kept thinking like I need some gum. And I feel really bad about the smell of that green room. Now that my entire family just is going to probably be blowing that place up. Roger can figure it out.

Roger can figure it out. You shouldn't feel bad. That was year one though. That was year one. It was his first draft as commissioner. So I do think he could figure it out. I don't think he knew what he was in for. Like I don't think he's offered that same thing to any player being drafted since then.

I think because of the Chipotle. Once Chopper comes into your office, you don't open it up to anybody else. You know what I mean? Once Chopper comes through. Go ahead, Connor. Yeah, Brady. When you guys are at family events, you and AJ, let's just say it's Thanksgiving and maybe there's a seven-on-seven game.

Is everyone just trying to have fun and Hawkers just out there trying to take people's heads off? Or how does that work? 100%. I mean, if there's any sort of competition, AJ's going to try to hurt someone. The hard thing is all the kids. It's hard to keep track of all the kids. I mean, he knows.

He's got four. I've got three. My little sister has three. Then you bring over the cousins. They have four. There's just a bunch of kids everywhere. It's just hard to keep track of everyone. At this point, you're trying to herd cats.

There's not too many seven-on-seven games, but usually someone ends up getting hurt and someone starts crying at some point. Brady, we appreciate the hell out of you, man. Who's going to win the Super Bowl this year, you think? Who's going to win the national championship in college football? Oh, gosh. It probably will be Alabama.

Hey, Grand Hill would have been able to do this. I just want to let you know. So let's go ahead. Let's make sure. I mean, if you look at recent history, it's pretty much Alabama, right?

Because like every other year they've won one. Yeah, congrats, Nick. Congrats, Nick. You won. They got the two best players in college football, Bryce Young and Will Anderson.

They're DN. That kid, by the way, could someone start talking about that kid? He should have been at Heisman last year. He's absolutely ridiculous. And no one talks about him because he's a DN.

It's so stupid. Georgia had seven on their D-line that just went in the first round. So this guy maybe gets a little bit of love this year. I feel like the Georgia, what's his name? Will Anderson, the DN at Alabama. Connor, right there. We'd like that guy to be talked about.

You know what? I'm going to say the Packers. Hell yeah, Brady. I hope he gets one. I hope he gets one. I think this is the year. I know they moved on from Devonta Adams, but I like what they did to replace that loss there.

Look, he was clutch. We just saw it in the match. We just saw it in the match. Never a doubt, baby. Did you watch it? Oh, yeah. You got to hammer it. I was like, hammer the vets.

Come on, these guys have been here before. They were minus 186 going in, then obviously it flopped live. You could have got some really good money on Aaron and Tom live. They were plus 130? I think 40. Yeah, I think plus 130 with like two to play. Yeah, that was great. Not that I'm into gambling or anything, but yeah. No, we are. I mean, sorry we bring

you down to our level. I hammered them to win the first hole too, by the way. It was, I think, plus 186 or something like that. Earlier in the day, it was like 200. Yeah, I think I got a plus 200 for them to win the first hole because everybody assumed they were going to tie. And then when Aaron just starts stroking a little bit, it's like, here we go. My question is, what do you think Tom Brady was doing while he was late

to the first tee box? Change his batteries. Probably getting some. All right. All right, that's it. We appreciate you, Brady. Thank you so much, man. You're the best.

He's on fire. Ladies and gentlemen, Brady Quinn. Thank you. Hey, Brady. Our thought correction expert, Gumpy. What's up, dude? Hey, there you go. What's up, bud?

Gump. So, Jorge from Mexico, well, Texas, Mexico, just called and said, Tex-Mex, I guess. Tex-Mex, yeah. Is that proper? Yep. Jorge called and said that Mexico is going to win the World Cup. Is there any chance at all that Mexico wins the World Cup?

Zilt. None. It's the worst Mexico team in years. Oh! Eat that, Jorge! Eat it! Chicharito not on the team anymore? They should cheer for us.

Chicharito hasn't played for years. Really? What team is Abramovich on? Zlatan? He's on Sweden. ACL's dead. He hasn't played international in a long time. Do you call him Abramovich?

Abramovich? Yeah. I said it right. Hawker just disrespecting Zlatan. Did you see Weeksy on earlier? He said a gangsta. In the pocket. Yeah, he did put a nice thing on his head.

I love Weeksy, pal. He's my savior. Oh, no. What? Holy shit. Don't do that. Oh, no. That thing in the trash, dude.

Oh, no. What's that? What thing? What are you talking about? Fucking pillow. What pillow? What is your pillow? What are you talking about? A fucking pillow. What pillow? What pillow? Where's their pillow at?

We're not doing this. Not doing what, pal? Oh, who is that? Why are you not doing it? Who said that? What's on the background here? When'd Gumpy get back to the States? Is that Gumpy?

Was that you? Is that AI? Gumpy's back. Don't do this again. It's good to be here, lads. Let's get an ice cold bud light. Who are you? Don't tell Trudeau.

Hey people. Why are you on this show without a mask on? I would, I'd tell you what, I was the only one in the airport i didn't do it i oh no holy shit turn digs took over gumpy's body that's crazy i had to on the plane you had to on the plane but through the airport is it for is it when like for real though when you go into canadian airspace or how does that work as soon as i landed from minnesota to calgary they said

as soon as you get off the plane, it's fucking mandatory. So that's just an American thing with the airlines? You don't have to wear one? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Or it's just Canada. You still have to wear one.

Might be the only country. Australia. Hope we're okay. I hope they don't know something that we don't know. You know what I mean? Yeah. The Canadians, they don't. Yeah, I don't know you know what I mean yeah because they don't yeah I don't know shit out of restaurant they don't know shit

Moulson's power didn't invent a something that you like enough to give them a slew no they invented fucking lacrosse I'd love lacrosse don't worry and then vetted that's right national sports not the summer nope it's national Give them a salute. No, they invented fucking lacrosse. I love lacrosse. Don't worry. Canada invented? Shut up. It's their national sport. It's not hockey. It's the summer. Nope.

It's national sport. It's summer. Yeah, curling. The winner is hockey. Oh, I thought it was curling. Well, right now it's the summer. Throwing rocks around. You ever do that?

Are you going to go curling tonight? Maybe tremble in sandwiches and curling? Ooh. No curling. Maybe a little maple. We got the Celtics tonight, baby. Who do you like? I don't want to give away any hammered down bets.

Have you been hot since going back to Canada or no? Yesterday I got smacked. First Monday or Tuesday was good. There's a stat that basically if the team covers the spread, they win in the NBA finals. That's kind of how it goes. 41-2-2, the winning team has covered the spread. Oh, so whoever you think scored.

Yes. And I won't sway either side, but let's just remember when Golden State had that team of death and they beat the Cavs like 4-1, I think. They basically should have lost game one, but J.R. Smith thought that they were winning and they were tied and he didn't put the shot back up at the end. I forgot about that.

Yeah. So what do you say? So I'm saying, look, I won't say how I feel, but I will say if you're going to bet on finals MVP. No, no, we're talking about the fucking game. We just did a stat. Oh, okay. Well, then, yeah, Celtics money line.

What are we talking about? They're plus 144. They're plus four right now, too. The odds are going to go down. It'll probably be plus three and a half, plus three by the time the game starts. So I would definitely take that. Stephen A is out there in San Fran. This game is in Golden State.

Doesn't Golden State shoot into bigger hoops whenever they're at home? They never lose. Sometimes, but I believe we have the best record against Golden State this year because we play the best defense. And their big thing is that they're always running around, getting open for three, setting picks. You can't switch most teams. Celtics can switch on every pick because basically

all five of the guys on the court can guard anyone on the perimeter. That's good analysis. I actually do really like the Celtics. Gump, you like the Celtics as well it sounds like. Yeah, I'll take the four though. I'm not greedy. I'll take the money line. I am greedy. Wait, Gump, are you taking them to win the whole thing?

The championship? Yeah, the Celtics. Yeah, took them a couple rounds ago, to be honest. Once they beat the Nets, I hopped on. I like the Oilers tonight, actually. Colorado's backups and their starters out. I think you get Oilers at a really good price. You like Mike Smith, Paul?

I don't love Mike Smith at all, but I just think backup goalie for Colorado, Oilers should be able to steal one. Dumpy fucking hates Mike Smith. Well, he's not the only one. Weeksie killed him. Mike Smith does take it on the shins. Well, he's in the fucking conference finals. Does he have his pads on his shins at least? He does.

Big bad. Just making sure. Right position. He plays the right sport to take it on the shins. Mike Smith. Smart. Serving up pizzas. Oh, because he thinks he's got Mike Smith. Smart. Serving up pizzas. Oh, because he thinks he's got dangles. He doesn't have dangles. Delivery right to the phone. Was Weeksie a Canadian TV stud? Icon.

I don't remember, to be honest. Well, he was playing for a while before he got into the team. Yeah. I remember Jackie Redman was on the score. I remember her. And then she went to NHL Network. Weeksie's now at ESPN. Was he at NHL Network before?

I think he's still at NHL Network. He works with Ruppert. He does both. He was on SVP last night a couple different times. I fell asleep after his first one. I woke up. He's back on. He had a prop sweat rag.

Was he going to use that? I was waiting for him to fucking wipe himself off. He was holding on to that thing for dear life. Oh, it was just prop. Oh, he brought his own towel? Oh, yeah, he's sweat-ridden. Yeah, he's got a sweat-ridden. Tony.

He's clever. He's clever. Tony, sweat-rags have been happening since the beginning of time. My bad. Sweat-rags, not fucking. What are you saying, dudes? What? I didn't say anything.

Brady said something. Lotion. I was waiting for something to let that eat forady said something. Lotion. Waiting for something. Oh. Let that eat for a long time. Lotion is what I said. That's what Grady. Guy brought his own rag to jerk off into.

Raise his eyebrows. I thought you were saying a skeet rag. I thought you were talking lotion. I thought it was lotion. No. Well, that's what you two were talking about. That's a fucking wild scene. Yeah.

Wild. Who did that? What? Someone brought a rag that they just pulled their meat into? All right. Yeah. Hey, go. Great scene.

What are we talking about? I'm not there. I don't know the inside stuff. We got to get out of here, dude. It's not inside stuff. That's been very outside stuff, which is why it's uncomfortable. You just talked about it with your brother-in-law. It's terrible.

We hope justice is served. We'd like to let everybody know. Oh, wait. Are you serious? We're going back to... Oh, okay.-law. It's terrible. We hope justice is served. We'd like to let everybody know. Oh, wait. Are you serious? We're going back to... Oh, okay. My bad. Oh, yeah.

I'm so sorry. First off, I didn't know about bringing his own towel, and then you said bring his own rag. I didn't put it together. Wait. Dom, did you see the support? AJ's shirt there? Howdy, baby.

Yeah. Thank you, AJ. I texted him. Thank you, AJ. I mean, it's a sweet shirt. Who designed this? Canadian. I don't know. His you, AJ. I mean, it's a sweet shirt. Who designed this? We don't know. Mitch.

Mitch is real chompy. He's got nothing against chompy at all. No. I think we got another week or two. What do you do there, Goop? I know you're joining the shows and doing everything. What else do you do? Nothing. I mean, I went

and saw my mom and dad for the first time in two years. That was pretty sweet. How was that, Big? It was good, yeah. Double hug? My brother's kids. Double hug? Have you always had this giant beard?

Yeah. Okay, so it wasn't like, hey, you went to America and grew a big beard. Here's Goop. No. Remember Kyle? He's Goop. Yeah. This is Goop. There was a moment where he was Kyle Gump. Now he's full Goop. Goop. This is Goop. Remember Kyle? He's Goop now. This is Goop.

There was a moment when he was Kyle Gump. Now he's full Goop. Goop. This is Goop now. All right, Gump. We appreciate you. We miss you.

Can't wait to watch Hammer Down, pal. Love you, lads. Hey, you too, man. Love you, too. I miss that man. He's good, lad. Good to get him back.

What a stupid thing. Stupid. Stupid. Yeah. Can we not just get like, what are those things that Kanye got for Kim of her dad at her birthday party? Holograph. Hologram. Hologram or graph? Hologram.

Can we not just get Gumpy Hologram right in here? Probably good. That'd be cool. See if Phil's on plan. Tell him. He's going to be a little pricey, but. Phil left? I think so, yeah. I didn't hug's going to be a little pricey, but Phil left. I think so, yeah.

I didn't hug him on the way out, me neither. What the hell? He took a 1.30 flight. So I assume he's gone. So he left before the show? Yeah, I think he made his flight. I don't know. He missed his flight.

He's probably gone. Flight's at 1.30. He's probably home. Lordo's gone. No IMAX theater. I'm out of here, boys. Whoa. Whoa, Foxy.

What are you alluding to, buddy? What's Foxy implying? He did tell me his Detroit flight got pushed back. You had to go to Detroit? That's why it stinks. It got delayed by two hours. Indiana has zero flights to anywhere except for hub cities.

So, Indiana's... Hey, it's a gift and a curse here. Yeah. Very hospitable downtown. Restaurants are good. There's good food. There's chicken sandwiches. Living is very, very good here.

There is chicken sandwiches that are very good. There's a lot of foods. What does that mean? I love chicken. Still love chicken. Who? I love chicken Still love chicken Who doesn't love chicken? But yeah Getting in and out of here is impossible

It is It's absolutely impossible Which makes no sense Because a lot of people have to travel here For conventions But it takes you Eight hours at least To get to Indiana

Which is in the middle of everything Crossroads of America Yeah Gotta drive it If you want to fly to Indiana, which is in the middle of everything. Crossroads of America. Yeah. Got to drive it. If you want to fly to Atlanta, though, you're in luck. About 45 flights a day going there. Detroit.

Yeah, Detroit. Atlanta, Detroit, Dallas. Chicago. Chicago. All the hubs. Very similar to the Columbus airport. Yes. They have an airport. Do you guys win awards, though?

This airport wins an award every single month. And it's like the cleanest. It's like, well, there's nobody here because there's no flights here the most easily accessible it's like once again not a lot of flights out of this place so it's like it is beautiful though it's not very nice

and I think it could handle a lot more flights if they were potentially to pick them up which would be great for everybody in this room, but I guess probably not. Direct to Pittsburgh would be awesome. They had that, didn't they? For a little bit. They brought back the direct flight to Boston, actually.

Luckily. You're lucky. You know who grew up in Indiana? Charles Manson. That's why he drove everywhere. Michael Jackson, too. That's Gary, drove everywhere Michael Jackson too That's Gary Yeah Yeah Manson grew up in Indianapolis

Yeah Alongside that guy that was Popping his semen in everybody Actually from Cincinnati though The cult guy? The father Our father Our father guy

From Netflix Did you see that? Oh is he the doctor that has like 5,000 kids? Yes. Yeah, and it's still hot. I saw the preview. Is it good? I didn't watch it.

I didn't want to watch it because I felt like I'd know everybody that's in it. Basically, if you have blonde hair and blue eyes and are from the Indianapolis area, you might be this guy's kid. What if you're from the Ohio area? Yeah, you might be fucked, AJ. I had white blonde hair as a kid. Better do 23andMe. I had white blonde hair as a child as well, by the way, but I'm in Pittsburgh. I don't think this guy's semen made it in there.

I look pretty similar to Tim and Sally. Could you imagine doing a 23andMe and having 46 siblings? Or maybe more? Like Starbuck? Out of nowhere. And it's still just growing and growing and growing. I mean, the documentary ends. It says 91.

I ain't never done that. What a fucking... Was he too lazy to get semen from other people? He denied people a way. He wanted to. No, they said there was like a full motive behind it. Yeah, he had it. He had all the other people's semen frozen and everything.

But he went to a different room and just went into a towel. All right. That's the show. I hope you're happy, Zito. Too far. Let's have a moment of silence for the fucking sanctity of this show. It's been in that towel a long time.

No, that towel's alright. How about me drinking out of L'Ordele? This might become my new mug. Yeah, it's gonna be. They should make that. It's a massive mug. Hey, I have a little tool that I can inscribe. Can I inscribe some should make that. It's a massive mug. That's a great one. Hey, I have a little tool that I can inscribe. Can I inscribe some names on that? I have a little tool. Is there names inscribed on it? No, but I'm happy to hear that there is

an ability to do that. They sent us a bunch of stickers and I would never do that to Lourdes. Bill sent the name in earlier. Let me see. Thank you for the gift. Yeah. I should have cleaned it out. I'm going to get one of those. Trevor... Gotta earn these, pal. Ford. Big should have cleaned it out. I'm going to get one of those. Trevor. Got to earn these, pal. Yeah.

Ford. Big Ford. Big Ford? Trevor Ford. Trevor Big Ford. Oh, yeah. B-I-C-K-F-R. That's the name of the documentary?

Trevor Bigford. Bigford. Bigford. Bigford. Trevor Bigford. We appreciate you, pal. Thanks for Baby Lorto. Yeah.

Is this the dog? Thank you, Big Ford. Put a semen in everyone? No, that's our father, Trevor Bigford. Big Ford was the guy. Our father's Dr. Klein. That's Dr. Klein. Trevor Bigford.

This guy sent this to him. Thank you, Trevor. Sent this baby. That wasn't made by our father in Indianapolis. This was created by the fine men and women who strap up their skates. That's right. And hit the ice and put their life on the line for our entertainment.

That's what Baby Lordo is. So the C and the K is pronounced as a G. Yeah, it's silver. I don't know how that's how it was presented to be. I believe it's Bigford. Bigford. Bigford. There it is.

All right, baby, go get your big towel seat. So when's the next soccer tournament? Well, the next, well, call Gumpy back. Soccer Lombardi. Lombardi. Call Gumpy back, please. I think Lombardi's the next one. That's the next one.

Is it? Yeah. There's like three soccer Lombardis before that one. No! There's only one soccer Lordo, pal. Yeah. And that's coming up in... Oh, wait, shit.

I think there is actually a final for a soccer tournament. Oh, for the KKFA? No, the beginning of the Premier League. They like kick it off with some sort of final. Well, they fucking better.

I mean, what are we doing? I haven't had a soccer tournament in what, four or five days? Yeah. Is there not some title that we're

chasing? Is there not a soccer lordo that we need to talk to? Wow. Is Compy not answering? He might be.

Oh, here we go. He's out of the toilet. Gump. Yeah. Gump. Turn that off before we get. He's out of the toilet. Gump. Gump. Turn that off before we get... He has the show behind him right now.

It's pretty crazy. It has to go all the way to Canada. It's pretty far behind. He's centering the camera right now. He's fixing it. I will say that this show's stream did put a mask on immediately upon getting into Canadian Airways. Unlike everybody on those flights.

Gimp. Right now he's fixing something, but it's a nice shot of a camera. We ran out of time. That's his leg. Jesus Christ. I think Brady noticed you were drinking out of the baby cup.

Whoa, whoa. He had the camera off. He clearly saw him doing this number here. baby cup? Whoa, whoa. He had the camera off. He had his... Clearly saw him doing this number here. You know? It's baby Lordo, by the way, to you. You fucking son of a bitch. No offense to your mom.

Obviously, big family show. None taken. Big family show. I love how angry you guys got. Alright, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Maybe there'll be a tournament tomorrow. Probably. I'm sure there's three or four. Well, the MLS, I know the Portland you guys are. All right, we'll talk to you tomorrow. Maybe there'll be a tournament tomorrow. I'm sure there's three or four. Well, the MLS, I know the Portland Timbers are starting to do it. They're heating up.

Revolution also heating up. Colorado Rapids, I think, are top of the table. Columbus Crew are starting to really play a good ball in a pitch. FC Austin. Dayton Dynamo. Dayton Dynamo, they're not in the MLS. Nobody talks about them. They're with the Riverhounds. were an indoor team they were fun to watch

oh like the Pittsburgh Stingers back in the day they couldn't beat the Dynamo Pittsburgh Stingers would have ran the fucking Dynamo out of the arena right through the basher boards right up the arena outside kick them like the soccer ball they were kicking in the indoor soccer thing right into the river

in Pittsburgh. That's what the Stingers would have done. Sorry about it. I'm glad I wasn't around to see that. Well, Pittsburgh Stingers are glad, too. They don't want to have homicides on their record. They just had a bunch of dubs, pal. They were great.

Riverhounds are the USL, I believe. Riverhounds? Yeah. Same as Indy 11, so whatever league that is. We'll find out tomorrow. Will we? Yeah What do you mean? What was that?

Why are you Oh okay hold on Real quick before we drop off You You guys come at me All the time Oh look at you Shoehorning in

You're jamming in Your toxic references You were so excited You remember the last name Duggar For the kid that went to jail And so you popped it in there With Brady And you were so proud of yourself Was last name Duggar for the kid that went to jail. And so you popped it in there with Brady, and you were so proud of yourself.

Was it 19 kids? That's what you guys would be fucking like over there. 19 professional athletes all married into the same family. Here is their cult party at Christmas. That would be great. You know what I mean? I'm taking juice. Pretty much the same thing.

Brady loved it, too. He loved the idea. We're going to get that shirt for sale, too, by the way. We're going to raise some money. As opposed to you costing that foundation money and almost knocking it off course immediately by driving a cart into a pond at a golf course. Jesus. Literally.

I tried to save that thing. I bet. What, by driving it in? Or did you do CPR after you broke it? I've told you many times. My only mistake was I parked a little too close to the green. So I pulled up around the fringe area in the green, hit the emergency brake.

Oz and I popped out of that. And then somehow the brake didn't go. The right wheel turned and it started, ooh, just making an old turn and started going down the hill. And I jumped in, put my foot on the brake, and I rode that thing in and it just splashed all over me. How was the back? Was there a pretty good shot when that thing hit the water?

You know, because water will slow you down. Any whiplash? Should we be more worried about your whiplash that you suffered as opposed to driving a golf cart into a pond at a golf course? I didn't drive it in exactly. I rode it in. You did, though. I did.

A little bit. I rode it because it was a steep hill. But then, no, I instantly thought of, all right, I'm not about problems. I'm about solutions. So I jumped out and tried to lift it up from the muck. And that thing just sunk into that like 10 feet of muck real quick. Thank you, Gary. Love you, Gary.

Thank you, Gary. That's more John Taffer. Well, yeah, he's not a problems guy. He's a solutions guy. But he will yell about the problems. Shut up. Oh, yeah. There was a pretty good portion of my life where I wanted to be one of the test customers on Bar Rescue.

Because me walking in there like this, people treat me like shit. Yeah, true. If you want to know how terrible service happens, you got to have me walk in there. Probably going to get it. Taffer would have loved it, too. He used to just yell in people's face and let them know they're a fucking failure. Nothing better. Oh, you're doing this for your parents?

Right. Your parents are like You're not running I forgot that Shut that down That was a great run Oh yeah Taffer had a great run Oh yeah

Is it still happening Still going I believe Really I think so I used to walk into bars And tell them Taffer would not be happy About this

Oh yeah First thing When you look at a menu Let me talk to the manager Hey you run this place John Taffer would not have What the fuck you got going on here Say a thank you He's a fuck you got going on here.

See you. Thank you. He's a cool competition one going on right now with a British guy who also saves restaurants. A restaurant possible guy. Chef Robert Irvine. Robert Irvine. You know Chef Robert Irvine. Yeah, that was a good show.

I don't know, Bob, but I do know Gordon Ramsay. He's big. He's got some arms on him. Good show. Not as big as Aaron's arms in that one photo afterwards where Tom Brady looked like a... Twig. He did. Yeah. He looked tiny.

Retirement, yeah. Saw that. I said, Aaron's going to throw fucking 65 touchdowns this year. Those calves, those biceps, that putt. Here we go. Look out. Look for MVP three times in a row. Kevin Weeks said,

nobody's looking to win three championships in a row. It's like, wow, Aaron Rodgers sitting on one. I think Liverpool just tried one week. Careful. Sorry about it. Good luck with soccer, Lordo. It's like, wow, Aaron Rodgers sitting on one. I think Liverpool just tried one week. Careful. Sorry about it. Good luck with soccer, Lordo. That's right. Where'd you get that one?

This one? Yeah. Bigfoot. Trevor Bigfoot. Is he one of the guys that brought the cup? No, that was Mike and Matt. Mike, by the way, all over somebody's TikTok I've seen. I didn't know we could have used him in different fashions.

We never know if Mike's that same. We could have scripted Mike. We could have given him some lines. He would have acted out in proper fashion with that great hair. I didn't know that. Did you know where he was going next? No, but he did have to go. Immediately upon us saying, hey, it's out of here, they're like, thank fucking God.

Oh, I don't know. Has that been stolen before? Dude, listen, the more we've learned about this whole thing, the whole process, we have a lot of questions. He told me there's like a secret task force in Canada that comes down. The Montneys? Yeah, it was insane. He was like, we'll get it back by lunch. Cup task force.

You don't do anything against the cup. Nope. And not answer for it. All right, we're back tomorrow. Who do we have on tomorrow? General Bob Carpenter is live from the golf tournament. Right. General.

He'll be good there. They used to not allow phones. I think you can have your phone there now. Yep. It's Ohio, I hope, but you're not the fucking Masters. There was a time, I think, when all tournaments, you couldn't really have your phone out. How about that one guy getting a Michelob Ultra deal?

Did you see that? No. I think Tiger was teeing off or justin thomas was teeing off and the entire crowd had their phones out and there was this one dude holding michael abultra just sitting there taking it in and it was like that that was the thing like this is what's wrong with the world today this guy is the only one living in mount which by the way i agree we live on the internet i'm on my phone all the time, but when something's happening, I think we should remind

ourselves, like, hey, we're allowed to live in this. Other people will be recording this. We're allowed to live in this moment right here. Yeah, this guy to the left. Everybody else has their camera. He's the only one that doesn't have his camera out. That guy. Right there. And maybe the guy behind him, too, kind of got fucked. I like that he's two-handed.

Big can. A lot of khakis there. It maybe the guy behind him, too, kind of got fucked. I like that he's two-handed. Big can. Yeah, it's a big can. A lot of khakis there. It looks like the Rangers. What would you do if that was his iPhone case? What's that, pal? What would you do if that was his iPhone case? Oh, they'd game this whole thing?

It'd be even cooler. It'd be awesome. It is a shame that everybody's trying to record something that's already being recorded, and you're there. Yeah, I agree. I saw Jerry Seinfeld had a bit on that a while ago. Have you ever seen it? When he says like,

I'm watching the Super Bowl parade and these guys are getting off the plane or whatever and they're filming us. No, we're filming you. You need to enjoy this. But it is good footage, good content. Yeah, yeah. Hey, you are right there.

You have the shot. This is your life. Because I am a firm believer in like, you should document your memories. Wasn't always. Wasn't always, wasn't always used to hate pictures. Actually. I don't think my family is big picture family either,

but now it's like, you should document where you're at. But I think there is a, you know, a large portion of our society these days that don't enjoy anything, you know? And it's like, there has to be some moment of like,

Oh, I'm going to be here. You know, be where your feet are. Yeah. Be where you're, I'm going to be here. You know, be where your feet are. Yeah. Be where you are. I'm going to be here for a second. You know, because everybody's in a hurry to get things done.

Okay. Rush and rush until life's no fun. So true. All I really got to do is live and die. And I'm in a hurry And don't know why No, I don't know Why do I drive so fast? My car has nothing to prove

And that's what we've been saying this whole time. That's right. Just kind of enjoy stuff. Like Hammer Down in 15 minutes and this show tomorrow with General Bob Carpenter live on a golf course and maybe some other guests that we will have surprise appearances by. It'll be a feel-good Friday going into the

greatest weekend of all time. I'll then be in Columbus, Ohio, tomorrow night for Friday Night Smackdown. Cannot wait to step foot on the hallowed grounds of the Buckeyes and give out a nice OH! To step foot on the hallowed grounds of the Buckeyes and give out a nice OH!

They'll give it back to you, for sure. You weren't throwing that to me, were you? Come on. I think it's just kind of the thing you send out there. Is Ezekiel going to be there? I don't know if Ezekiel is going to be there. Do you guys have one of those like Chophouse, Booze Cruise things going on? Cult Cruise going on in Columbus? Wait, didn't Zeke watch you in WrestleMania?

Yeah. So he may be there. Zeke, Micah, Wyatt, George Kittle, Lane Johnson. Wyatt. It was great to see all the boys. Yeah. I believe Cliff Kinsbury was there as well. That's right.

It was a good trip. Anyways, I don't know if Ezekiel will be there or not. What about Elias' brother? Oh. Elias' younger brother. TBD? You never know. Hopefully.

That would be awesome. What about Elias? That would be wild if he showed up. I kind of miss Elias. Yeah, haven't seen him in a long time. Oh, I thought Elias was back. What? What?

Where? Hey, I'm Ezekiel, Elias' younger brother. That's what it is, right? Yes. Okay. It's not the other way around. What's your problem? You literally just asked for Ezekiel, and now you're going to act like you don't know who Ezekiel is.

He's Elias' younger brother. No, no. Sometimes I get the brothers mixed up. They look very similar. Not all white guys that are Italian look the same. One has a beard, a huge beard. Your ability to seem serious when you do stuff like that, it's pretty impressive.

All right, fuck off. For people that don't know you. Yeah, well, you've gotten a chance to watch me work a couple times now, and it's amazing. Anyways, all right, we're back. We are back tomorrow. Thank you all so much. You're the best people on earth.

CFO Phil was out here. Everybody knows that when CFO Phil's out here, there's probably some things popping off. CFO Phil was out here for the last couple of days. He left in the middle of the show without saying bye to any of us, which is fascinating.

Don't let that lead you astray, though, in thinking that up something season is going bad. Up something season is going pretty good. Pretty excited about everything. If CFO Phil is out here, that means up something season is really starting to cook. Hell yeah. Here we are. Love that. Right in the middle of the grill, baby.
