Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, beautiful people. It is Winter Wednesday, June 29th, 2022, and this sports show on the internet and radio begins now. Let's ride. Let's ride to some sports talk, shall we? There's a lot going on in the world of sport. And by that, I mean everything that we talked about yesterday is still looming overhead. Hell yeah. But will we get an answer to one question, which is how many games is Deshaun Watson going to be suspended, which will then lead to the Baker Mayfield conversation,
Starting point is 00:00:31 which will then lead to the Jimmy G conversation, which will then lead to the entirety of the offseason and every single NFL team. There's some interviews from other podcasts that we'll definitely have to dive into because George Kittle spoke some gospel to the Bustin' with the Boys boys down there in Nashville. George Kittle obviously has a house in Nashville, head tight end university down there,
Starting point is 00:00:52 Bustin' with the Boys crushed it during tight end university. A lot of good content coming out there. We have to talk about it. Up to Something Season's still brewing. Might not just be for me though. Might be for other people in this office. Up to Something Season has lingered into other studios and other aspects of the office it's a beautiful time to be alive and we can't thank you enough for all your support both watching tweeting texting following living laughing and eventually moving on from us and we completely understand we'll have some phone calls on the five energy phone line one eight three three for mcfee we can't wait to chat with you peter schrager of good morning football will join us in about 16 minutes i believe he had a i don't know if it's public i can't wait to chat with you. Peter Schrager of Good Morning Football will join us in about 16 minutes. I believe
Starting point is 00:01:25 he had a... I don't know if it's public. I don't want to be the one that does it. Oh, what did he do? I think he had a pretty similar bout with COVID that I had. Oh, no. Yeah, he said it on the show yesterday. Like 11 days he had it. Damn. Which is what I... It sounds like he found... He went
Starting point is 00:01:41 into some nook and granny somewhere, and he found the OG-19. It sounds like he found, he was out at that wedding, obviously, and I don't want to put two and two together. A lot of money out there. Maybe some people did have the OG-19 strain in the back pocket. And while Schrags was dancing like Leo in The Wolf of Wall Street, they slipped that thing into his drink,
Starting point is 00:02:02 and he just drank down the original 19. Out of commission for 11 days. Back on the other side his drink, and he just drank down the original 19. Out of commission for 11 days. Back on the other side, I assume he has a full new perspective on life, appreciation, and joy on freedom. Can't wait to talk to him about all this stuff going on, good morning football, and the NFL as a whole.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Sugar Sean O'Malley will join us for the first time in a year in the next hour. He obviously has a massive fight coming up this weekend against... He's fighting Pedro Munoz. That's no way that's his name. That's how it's spelled? He's fighting Pedro Munoz. That's no way that's his name. That's how it's spelled. Yeah, it's Munoz. Munoz. Pedro Munoz.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Pedro Munoz. Saturday night at UFC 276. This is International Fight Week. This is the biggest card of the year. Sugar Sean O'Malley being on it makes a lot of sense. We can't wait to chat with him again. Hope life is good. We haven't talked to him in a long time.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Can't wait to catch up and see how he's feeling. He is a performer. Oh, yeah. He views his fights as a performance. He wants to display. He wants to have cool knockouts. He actually, in our introduction to him, had a guy knocked out with his left hand, let off of him so he could knock him out with his right hand because it said another right hand from Sugarland on his merch that he wanted to sell immediately after the fight. That type of confidence.
Starting point is 00:03:08 He's a hustler. He's a businessman. He understands the fight game. He has a lot of big-time famous friends. I can't wait to talk again to Sean O'Malley here just a few days before his UFC 276 knockout, we assume. Hell yeah. At the Talks at the Table, I at Nick Moraldo rocking a Pison shirt
Starting point is 00:03:25 who's that the Satria Satria House Satria House a little place to conduct business down there at the pork store it's a pork store
Starting point is 00:03:33 finest Italian meats the pork store down here over there in New Jersey that's where the social club meets yeah go down to Satria all this down there you know get a little pork
Starting point is 00:03:44 and beans diner. We'll figure out the goddamn issues at hand. I'm thankful you're here. Not only because the seat would be empty because Ty Schmidt... Hey, we love you, Ty. We love you, Ty. We have all, I assume, tried
Starting point is 00:03:59 to spoil that baby as much as possible to become the favorite uncle in the clubhouse. Connor had the early lead because he had gone to the hospital numerous times long before Nick even thought about going there. Nick, bad friend. Connor, great friend. At Boston, Connor, how are you feeling, pal? I feel fantastic.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Yeah, how does it feel to be a terrible friend to Ty Schmidt? I didn't want to put this out there, but I did go see the baby on Monday night and got to hold the baby. Connor had already been in the hospital three times by then. I held it? I held the baby. Connor actually gave birth. He was the way he was.
Starting point is 00:04:28 I was there. They did not let that mutant freak anywhere near their child. All right, anyway. You shouldn't hold other people's babies under a year. How's the family doing? Good? Yeah, everybody's good. That's when you're real tight with the family,
Starting point is 00:04:37 which we assume that Nick was with Ty until we learned that he was not invited to the hospital. Connor was invited. Nick was not. I also heard that maybe it was a self-invite to the hospital. I mean, now he's just lying. And I would self-invite. Oh, no. Self-invite? But that's also what good friends do. I will say, Nick was going to get to the bottom of that, by the way. As soon as I heard you say, I actually went to the hospital, I saw Nick's face go, oh, really?
Starting point is 00:05:07 You're trying to be a better human than me all of a sudden. Yeah, can't happen. Well, actually, I went the next day, I delivered food as well, and I saw Nick's face just like, oh, what the fuck is going on here? So I'm happy you did get to the bottom of it. How is Ty, Caitlin, and Sloan? Everybody good? Everybody's doing great, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Picture we got last night. That little baby's going to be beautiful. Oh, yeah. Definitely Ty's baby, though. and Sloan. Everybody good? Everybody's doing great, yeah. Picture we got last night. That little baby's going to be beautiful. Oh, yeah. Definitely Ty's baby, though. Mm-hmm. Same shape of head. No doubt about it. Same hair, too.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Same hair, same shape of head. Let's hope same misery in comedy and same brain intelligence. Not that Caitlin, I think Caitlin's smarter than all of us. Big brain as well, yeah. She's smarter than Ty, but that baby is going to be awesome. And that is officially the first baby in this office.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Because CFO Phil has 10 kids. He's back in plum. AJ's got 10 kids. He's in Ohio. Sloan's the first baby of the office. So that baby is going to get ridiculously spoiled because this is all of ours first time with the new toys and options of buying for these things. And it's just going to become a, I got a life-size elephant sent to that house.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Here we go. Yeah. Stuffed. Stuffed elephant. I also saw a rather large, large, very nice bouquet of flowers that was sent from the McAfee family. So let's not sell yourself short. Of course. The whole process.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Well, I'm trying to make sure that baby knows like, Hey, although I will not be around you. Okay. And I will not invest a lot of time in your life until you're a little bit older. Know that I'm here and I'm appreciative of your existence because from what I've heard,
Starting point is 00:06:37 when you have a baby immediately, better person, Ty's going to stop probably chewing. He's going to stop drinking. Ty's going to start working out. He was boozing already. No, no. Three days in.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Ty, we miss you, pal, at Boston Connors here. No conversation about the Patriots at all this offseason. You love that? I mean, the only real conversation is Orlovsky being worried about how there's no offense. That was weeks and weeks and weeks ago. That's still the thing. We're all worried about it.
Starting point is 00:07:03 And, I mean, Schrager, actually, I do kind of have a bone to pick with him because he said, you know, him, Bill Simmons, Bill Simmons' nephew, and also Mike Giardi are the only guys in Mac Jones' camp right now. It's like, what have we been talking about? I thought we know that Mac Jones is going to take a step. There's a lot of those industry babies that, you know, I don't want to say take our takes and then act like they created them, but there's a lot of people that are just put onto a platform given a platform and think that they've earned it hey i woke up on
Starting point is 00:07:28 third base think i hit a triple take six day vacations back to back to back to back to back weeks there it's a lot of that with the industry babies happening on tv as well and shrags yeah what is shrags friend of the show he knows we exist yeah hey pal we weren't just plucked and put on the television in a suit but at least have a little respect for the conversations we've had about people in this NFL sports media realm because we are stewards of the game that's right and we talk about you know football every day for three hours and I know it's very difficult for a lot of people to do that you know I understand especially in the day-to-day where it's really just lawsuits and a lot of tomfoolery but hey come on we've been talking about the Patriots.
Starting point is 00:08:05 We've actually talked about how Mac Jones isn't actually a second-year quarterback. He's been there for 15 years, it feels like, already. But, no, I feel good about it. Nobody takes it serious because I wear a tank top and you have that face in Mollick. Yeah, I know. That's just part of the game, I guess. And because we have too many fucking Italians in here. Well, definitely.
Starting point is 00:08:21 I'm not saying that other people are saying that. People are probably. That will hold you back in some respects. Scared about it. This room has become a mostly plum room. Really, just the plum boys in here. Well, definitely. I think that's right. I'm not saying that. Other people are saying that. People are probably. That will hold you back in some respects. Scared about it. This room has become a mostly plum room. Really? Just the plum boys in here. You would have.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Just a bunch of Mustangs hanging out, talking sports. You gotta love it. Feel like we're back in the cafeteria, boys. Mexican pizzas. Yeah, let's ride. Even as terrible as plum was, we didn't quit on it. Yeah, you would have gotten bullied out of plum. No.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Just like you did your school. I love plum. you would have got bullied out of plum no just like you did your school yeah i love plum what do you mean bullied out of plum i go back every year see the family you actually do go back to plum more than most people go back to plum so i i got um there was an article written about me by uh what is action for what is that taeE? 4, KD, WTAE. KDK? KDK is 2. So WTAE, last night, I guess the Plum School Board had to accept our donations to the teams. So they
Starting point is 00:09:14 accepted them. Very nice of them. Wow. Thank you. Tough decision, I bet. Thank you, Plum School Board, for accepting our donations that have already been given to all the teams. But since they did that in a public thing, then WTAE ended up writing an article. There's no, you know, I was the punter for the Colts.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Not even a mention of like, hey, entrepreneur, you know, has a show that does okay. The post-life just former plum Mustang, former Colts kicker, giving back to community, which I'm very thankful to. Undefeated at WrestleMania. In sanctioned matches, because a person that wrestles cannot sanction a match, clearly.
Starting point is 00:09:58 So Vince sanctioning a match in which he was in while he was standing in the ring, that's not real. That goes without saying. I'm undefeated. In the photo they chose me, it said Dwight Freeney's Ring of Honor, I believe, when I went out there. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:10 I'm 290 in that photo. 290 pounds in that photo. So I do appreciate the write-up. I'm very lucky to be in the position that I'm in. But please know that I'm not doing that for the fucking plum school board. I'm not doing that for the news. I'm not doing it for the fucking teachers. I'm not doing it for the fucking school. board. I'm not doing that for the news. I'm not doing it for the fucking teachers.
Starting point is 00:10:25 I'm not doing it for the fucking school. I'm doing it strictly for the kids of plum that have potentially been actually robbed from the parent-teacher organization, treasurer, or other decisions that have been made by people in power and plum over the years that have potentially undercut opportunities for a lot of plum kids.
Starting point is 00:10:44 That's who I'm giving the money to and although they okay 250 like that's gonna be a never a never-ending total that's just gonna go forever hopefully to take care of maybe the next me or the next tone or the next nick or the next phil or me the next you we are gonna try to make sure they get fucked like old school days. Sure. I mean, Hey, look, that's our hometown.
Starting point is 00:11:07 You know, that's where we're from. It makes sense. I'm just glad, you know, once a Mustang, always a Mustang and you're still giving it back to the community. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:13 That's what we say. Mustangs ride forever. No, that is here is what we say. We're all the Mustangs here. That's right. We are. But the Mustangs for a long time,
Starting point is 00:11:22 this is me kind of, uh, breaking, break kayfabe a little bit here on this plum has been run by people that don't have plums best interest for a long long time okay our town i believe was preyed on by people that were from outside looking in i'm not saying that that is what's happening now i'm just saying that is why i've given none of the people an opportunity that are in positions of powers, because that is the experience that I had in Plum growing up with the bureaucracy and the powers that be and the people making decisions and who gets what and how it goes about happening. That is why this fund is strictly for the players and the coaches directly.
Starting point is 00:11:58 And I'll let you know, Plum Council was not necessarily thrilled that we were go ahead and taking their hands out of the pot completely. This has been an entire scene. So them giving quotes for WTAE on the whole thing, I certainly appreciate and I enjoy. And hopefully we'll be able to come together. But I do not have any trust in the people that run Plum at all. Never will. But I would never give up hope on the kids that grew up in the same fucking streets that we did, doing the same thing that we did. And hopefully, if we can provide an opportunity through athletics that make people more interested in sport, stick around in sport, as opposed to
Starting point is 00:12:33 getting into drugs or any of the other shit that a lot of people in Plum get into, I hope that in 10 years from now, this We're All Mustangs Here fund will be able to do something big and have a legacy that's much larger than all of the bad shit that seems to get talked about in plum because the people of plum are fantastic even though the people you hear about from plum are normally the people in positions of power that abuse their power and fuck it up so we're trying to cut that entire thing out with the we're all mustangs uh here fund and i'll let you know it has been quite a battle to do so and i didn't expect to do that whenever you offer up two million dollars a battle to do so and I didn't expect to do that whenever you offer up two million dollars to have to be like no fuck you no fuck you that's not how
Starting point is 00:13:10 that's going I'll pull the fund how about that I didn't have to I didn't think I had to do that but now that I'm in the position I'm in like I can do that with these people and there's nothing they could do and they can talk to me the way that maybe they talked to me when I was in high school or how they talk to other people it's just just not like that anymore. Once again, I don't know how the people are now that are running plum. I have no clue. I haven't met any of them. I haven't reached out to any of them, but I do know that I have no trust in any of them. And when a clown Subaru is driving up to a bank and they're the treasurer of the PTO and they're robbing the kids blind just a couple of months ago, probably not going to be something that makes me go, yeah, I'd love to work together with you guys, even though you're giving quotes to the fucking local news.
Starting point is 00:13:48 And you try to stop this at literally every single turn. What was the big holdup for them waiting to accept? Did they think it was Saudi money? Was it too blood money? Like, I don't understand. I think it was just procedural. But believe me, remember, they sent an email out three weeks ago. What was that email out three weeks ago about how we need to approve everything that you
Starting point is 00:14:07 asked for? It's like, no, you don't. You don't need to do a damn thing. You just need to stay the fuck out of the way and let us give the money directly to the boosters, directly to the team, directly to the students. And then they said, procedural wise, we have to have everything in there that we have allotted and received everything. I'm like, understandable.
Starting point is 00:14:24 And once again, hopefully our relationship will build up with these powers that be but whenever they got their pto right underneath their nose stealing from kids i don't know if it's going to be as easy of a conversation for me and hopefully the future of the plum is vastly different than the past of the plum not the past of plum has been bad but it's been riddled with what the fuck how is that happening and i think as we grow older and we look back on our time in plum we're like oh there's no town that was like Plum. There's no reason to boom, boom, boom, boom. How'd that happen?
Starting point is 00:14:50 Oh, that guy hated me. Why? Oh, now he's in jail for having sex with the same girls I was trying to have sex with. Oh, okay, that makes sense. Oh, another one. Oh, this one's trying to cover it. It's just one of those things where there isn't a lot of trust, I don't think. No, you've got to rebuild that.
Starting point is 00:15:03 We should try to change that. But until we get that point done, we'll not let them fuck it up either is kind of how i feel and i did not expect to talk about this for 15 minutes but the thought of me being 290 pounds on the cover of this photo and then the school board giving quotes i'm like that's very very very mighty of you because there's been a lot. They try to enact a clause whenever I launch this thing from 1984 or something about like how no donation over $500 is allowed without us approving and accepting. It's like, what? I donated a fucking $40,000 weight room just a few years ago. I don't remember hearing a thing from you guys. It's just, it's an interesting thing.
Starting point is 00:15:40 And I have always been somebody that hates authority. So you can kind of see this maybe continuing but also it might be because I'm from Plum why I feel the way that I feel. Could be yeah. We'll fix it all though. I appreciate the news talking about it. I do. I'd rather it not and I'd rather us just fucking go ahead and do it
Starting point is 00:15:57 and I hope maybe we can you know maybe become a little bit closer with the school board and the powers that be in the school and all that stuff. But I'm assuming that's not going to happen, if I had to guess. Anyways, Tony Diggs, we're all Mustangs here, dude. We are all Mustangs here. How about it, dude?
Starting point is 00:16:14 How about our high school teams are about to have alternate uniforms? Our fucking football squad got an entire wrap. The volleyball team has the sickest uniforms on earth. They look like they're an Olympic squad walking out there. Our soccer team's going to a couple different camps they got a whole new kit new sweats new cleats new everything it's like here we go now our women's soccer team is going to create an olympian within the next year or two i think they're fucking unbelievable and they're reaching out and asking for more stuff i'm like yes this is what it this is what we are doing here and
Starting point is 00:16:42 hopefully 10 years from now we'll look back on the world. Mustang's here funding and say, all right, let's put another $100 million into Plum. Yeah, that's awesome. I just hope they keep their grit. Okay? Yeah, I would like them not to get soft. That's true. But I do believe being from Plum, you just have a natural grit in there. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Because you have to deal with PTO people stealing your money right off from underneath you while having a clown nose on their fucking car. How did a person with a clown nose on a Subaru become the treasurer of the PTO for the entire place? None of us know. That's plum, baby. But that is, you know, that'll keep the grit. It's in the water. It'll be fine. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Absolutely. Speaking of in the water, you think Sue Robinson's going to come out and say six to eight games? Because now there's a tweet or a report coming out saying that it might be six to eight games and the NFL doesn't want to get ugly and murky with the appeals uh rob moddy uh says i'm also told the nfl despite insisting on an indefinite suspension wants to avoid the appeals process source said a terrible situation
Starting point is 00:17:37 for everyone involved so league is more likely to abide by sue robinson's ruling if she came back with six to eight games so the nflpa and the NFL currently sitting in a court that Sue L. Robinson, former federal judge, retired in 2017, is presiding. She will make a decision. She will then send that decision to Roger Goodell. Roger Goodell will then make his full decision. There is a chance to appeal in Sue Robinson's NFL court, and they're saying that the NFL doesn't want to get ugly.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Appeal, appeal, appeal. Public, more public, more public. They're saying that six to doesn't want to get ugly appeal appeal appeal public more public more public they're saying that six to eight games or whatever would be okay that goes to Roger Goodell does Roger Goodell come out and say Sue Robinson um and big thank you to Sue Robinson taking time out of her her retirement her life to do the honorable move of being our judge uh she recommended six to eight games after the court through the NFL PA and the NFL and we thank everybody for doing that. With that being said, I'm doing a full season.
Starting point is 00:18:28 I'm babyface here. I'm going to do that, have a good one, keep it moving. It went from people saying it'll just be a fine to indefinite suspension at least a year. Now this tweet seems like it's kind of set the table for maybe it's just a certain amount of games for the season, but ultimately
Starting point is 00:18:44 in the end it's whatever the fuck Roger Goodell wants to do roger's main concern is the shield correct and how people perceive the league and how people look at the league and backlash for the league so when roger's making his decision i feel like if it's six to eight games there's going to be quite a bit of backlash on the league i feel like if he does, if she does recommend that. He would be quite a baby face, though, if he said, I wasn't expecting to tell you guys what Sue was wanting to rule, but she said eight games
Starting point is 00:19:13 is what they decided on. That's cute, Sue. 17 games plus playoffs, Roger Goodell. I think he gets a big, he gets a big applaud. Oh, he probably ends up on the 60 under 60 list or 70 under 70 list thousand percent of like baby faces in the world if he
Starting point is 00:19:30 does that that's why AJ keeps asking like he asked uh Ian he asked Andrew Brandt he has a bunch of people he's like are we gonna hear what Sue actually recommends yeah because if we don't hear what Sue recommends we'll just assume that whatever Roger Goodell says is Sue but if not I the only way we hear about it is if Roger makes an adjustment to it or goes directly by it, which would be any situation, I guess. I see. Like, David, I'm on your side. Like, I think we're going to know what the recommendation was, too. I think we're going to know what the recommendation was, and we're obviously going to know what the final suspension was. This is the first time Sue has come into the NFL world full time, like, in this situation.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Roger Goodell is going to have to try to protect her. The six to eight games thing would be interesting. And I guess that's what the NFL has to do. And there's going to be people that are going to be pissed forever regardless, I guess. Is there another way to look at it? Maybe. Is that how they'll look at it? There's also the idea of something like this being leaked or floated out to gauge reaction to say, OK, if it was six-day games, how are people going to react?
Starting point is 00:20:25 You think Rob Motti there was doing a job or doing a task for somebody? I can't rule it out. Especially with that name. Yeah. Is that an Italian name? I don't think so. It's a double A. Double A.
Starting point is 00:20:36 That's like Eastern Europe type, isn't it? DDI, though. Yeah. What is it? It is. Is his name Rob Mottini? There's a possibility. Joining us now is not an Italian, but a man who might know more than we do about it all.
Starting point is 00:20:50 And we have certainly missed him. And he's a COVID survivor as well. We're incredibly proud of him for his 11-day fight with the OG-19. A man who's plugged in. Obviously, he's an Emmy winner as a host of Good Morning Football. They're back in studio. They were. They were, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Now they're back not. His setup looks sweet today, though. Unbelievable. He had that white zipper. I mean, he looks good. Huge TV behind him. Ladies and gentlemen, Peter Schrager. And Peter!
Starting point is 00:21:16 What's up, dude? COVID kicked my ass. I missed a couple weeks with you guys. I'm back on my toes. I go to Kansas City as a guest of a couple comedians, Rob Riggle and Eric Stonestreet and Paul Rudd. They asked me to take part in their charity weekend. Way to go.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Let's go. Hey, man. Holy shit. Holy shit, dude. Can I take you guys behind the scenes of what went down? I go in there and we get into the area where we're going. I get to take a field. It's cool.
Starting point is 00:21:44 It's like Sheryl Crow and James Van Der Beek. Van Der Beek? I'm like, under my breath, that's bum-ass Corbin. I know that guy. That's bum-ass Corbin, this guy. And I'm like, am I going to say hi to this guy? Because I'm Team McAfee. I come over there, I'm like, what's up, man?
Starting point is 00:21:58 I'm a friend of McAfee. I'll tell you what, he didn't break a smile. He didn't, like, embrace me. Once I said the word McAfee, he was like, oh, okay, cool. And he didn't break a smile. He didn't like embrace me. Once I said the word McAfee, he was like, oh, okay, cool. And he like turned around like, can we get a photo just for like the goof? And he like, I'll take a photo with you. But like, it wasn't like warm and fuzzy. Yeah, he's the goof.
Starting point is 00:22:17 I don't think that guy likes you very much. Yeah, the photo isn't the goof. He's the goof in the photo. It's not about whether or not he likes me. It's okay. It probably doesn't. He's insufferable, as you got to experience probably at the softball thing. goof he's the goof in the photo it's not about whether or not he likes me it's okay uh i it probably doesn't he's insufferable as you got to experience probably at the softball thing he has just completely changed and become this person that is just terrible and i'm one of the
Starting point is 00:22:33 only people literally one of the only people that have known him since before he became this person and then what he's become through now on a week-to-week basis and if i have to be the guy that tells him like hey you're fucking up dude like this is this is not how you should be as a human with the platform that you have i guess i'll so be it you know what i mean strikes so be it but you did appear there though don't we yeah i mean you put your arm around him a little tight that smile looks real big saturday morning he was up he was at the hospital he Saturday morning, he was up. He was at the hospital. He was walking around. He was changing lives.
Starting point is 00:23:06 He was doing good things. I think he's a good man. No, he's not. He's catfishing you. Shregs, he's catfishing you. Catfishing? Yeah, I think he has it way down inside he's a good guy because that's a guy I knew from way back.
Starting point is 00:23:18 He was like 320. He was fresh out of college. He was offensive lineman. He was just trying to make it undrafted free agent, humble, hardworking. Only had like one or two tattoos at the time. You could have a convo with him. Gross hair.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Have a beer with him. Well, he actually had good hair at the time. I mean, it was just – then he, you know, he has to stop with the Colts and the Cardinals. Then he goes to WWE and he changes completely. This guy was walking around. People were freaking out over him, Pat. And I'm telling you.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Yeah, disgusted by this. That guy was walking around. People were freaking out over him, Pat. And I'm telling you. Yeah, disgusted by this. That's what you mean. This guy, if this guy can keep this thing going on a rocket ship, SummerSlam, I don't know who I'm picking before him. I love you. All right. Hang up on Shrakes. Nice knowing you, Shrakes.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Thank you, Shrakes. See you, Shrakes. What a fool. Let's get to a break. Can't believe Corbin just pulled one over his eyes. Yeah, it's unbelievable. Shrakes that big of a mark? We'll call Shrakes back in four minutes,
Starting point is 00:24:08 and we'll see if he has realized he's been bamboozled. Peter Mark Shrakes. Shrakes, you've been hoodwinked, pal, okay? By bum-ass Corbin. Jesus. Christ. We're back in four minutes, maybe with Shrakes. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:24:21 He's going to have to answer some text messages. I don't want to talk to the guy it's unbelievable dude he's not sure are you kidding me shout out to the plum school board for approving our uh shrek's on that board now well sounds like it no no no because that board is right i've been true that i can't judge this board off of previous boards or anything like that that's why i've been told numerous times. And then that clown car showed up at an ATM and took 800 bucks out of there like 10 straight times and robbed from the fucking elementary school kids. Shrakes took that clown nose off the car and put it on his own face.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Sounds like it. That's what that sounded like. Hey, we don't need clown time, okay? John Wayne Gacy Shrakes. Yeah. Seriously. We're back in four. We're going to ask him about real NFL stuff.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Freaking Mark, dude. We almost just had a moment of silence for a friendship that has come and gone. Yeah, had to. But instead, I believe we let bygones be bygones. People can say stupid stuff. They can apologize. Sure. We can move on.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Sure. Joining us again, the man who, when asked, who's the most likable NFL players of all time, said Michael Strahan. Sure. A man that he has zero relationship with. Of course. Nate Burleson, who he has a great relationship with.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Yeah, a good friend. And I believe Ray Guy was the third person he met. Yeah, it was Ray. A man who just said that by SummerSlam, you know, he's probably pulling for the guy, if he accepts my challenge, that I will be fighting in Tennessee. But a man that we continue to bring on the show because
Starting point is 00:25:59 of how good he is at football, Doc. So good that it's actually Emmy worthy. Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, Peter Schrager. Here we go. Great guy. Schrags, great guy. Schrags, how you doing, bub?
Starting point is 00:26:16 You're the man. I'm sorry I brought up wrestling. I should stay in my own lane. The two minutes when I was hung up on and thought that I ruined our relationship were two of the scariest minutes of my life. Well, we're close. Yeah, still on the fence. Hey, listen, don't. Listen.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Not always yet. Let's talk sports. All right? You need to stay out of sports entertainment, okay? Because that's where... Not good at it. That's where bum ass... Hey, we talked Kyle Brandt, too, that I can't chew. I wish I could.
Starting point is 00:26:42 I'd be much cooler if I could do that. The only drug that my body does not handle well, I mean, aside from probably meth and other things, the standard, is tobacco. I can't do tobacco. But what he said this morning about Aaron Rodgers, week 13, with me sitting there and him, he said, I think at one point,
Starting point is 00:26:58 they'll be 10 and 3 at the time, maybe 11 and 2. They might have slipped up. 9 and 4. And Aaron will give an entire speech about how the entire world thought we were going to crumble and we didn't. And he said something about me sitting there with a hammer of a dip in. Only thing that he got wrong in that entire thing. And tell him I appreciate the hell out of him.
Starting point is 00:27:16 And I wish you would maybe take a little bit of a page out of his book. And be a little respectful to what we got going on. From the brand Bible. You know what I mean, Shrakes? Kyle is hilarious. He said that Rodgers will have an ironic, like funny t-shirt on and McFu will have the wide collar black tank top on,
Starting point is 00:27:36 which you did. And he was going to be sitting there and Rodgers is going to be in that slow voice and he's going to say, you know, hey, everyone was so worried about us in June. Meanwhile, I'm the next one up. I'm like, I don't know. I think Hackett and Getze are pretty big losses along with Devontae Adams.
Starting point is 00:27:51 I'm trying to make sports intelligent here. But I do honestly feel that I can't imagine the offense is going to be as good without Devontae, their OC, and their quarterbacks coach. But I don't think they're going to end up being like an under 500 team. But I think that offense could have some hiccups. I think Hackett was a big deal. And not having Hackett in his ear is going to matter. backs coach but uh i don't think they're gonna end up being like a under 500 team but i think that offense could have some hiccups i think hackett was a big deal and not having hackett in his ear is gonna matter i agree hey listen there might be some hiccups i think um i think the expectations of that offense for the first time in a long time aren't like hey you're gonna
Starting point is 00:28:17 be the best offense in the nfl you're gonna be the most well-oiled machine because they don't take as many deep shots he doesn't have as many deep balls. His yardage isn't necessarily more than everybody else. They are just a machine. And he is picking things apart, making the right decisions, methodically moving down the field, touchdown. Now, will the defense get a stop? Hopefully they get more.
Starting point is 00:28:39 But then he goes right back out, answer. And in years past, if he didn't score on every drive, it was like, it's prima donna. What's going on? I think this year is the first year, though. I think this is the first year going into the season, though, where that offense has excuses, and I think they have public expectation levels a little bit
Starting point is 00:28:57 lower, which is right where, right, don't you, like Aaron, like, and the fact he was around, you know, when it was required to be around like i think he's like he's gonna galvanize this team and he's gonna say all right they're picking against us like let's go but they get jair alexander back they get david bakhtiari back do that hopefully have you heard that have you heard that those two those two rookies they got out of georgia the big boy uh in the middle wyatt and then quay walker like those guys are gonna
Starting point is 00:29:23 play year one and they're really good. And they're two first-round picks. Who's Rodgers going to throw to? That's going to be the question. And if Lazard and Sammy Watkins and Watson and maybe Amari Rodgers steps up, they're going to have to find a guy on third and seven that Rodgers feels comfortable enough throwing to because I'm not so sure outside of Devontae last season there was that guy.
Starting point is 00:29:43 Okay, so we don't want to bring it up whenever it happened, but it was said that Bob Diari was not in, right? In drills during OTAs. You just said he'll be back. Is that ongoing? I hope. I don't know. I mean, the expectation is you missed a whole season last year and now it's been another
Starting point is 00:29:57 five months. You got the contract and the hope is that he will be back. I should not speak out of school as if I've got breaking news that he's going to be starting a left tackle week one. But the expectation, as far as I know, is that he is going to heal up and he will be ready to go. All right, so let's get past all your bullshit here, right? You're feeding, you're giving Aaron a lot of things to talk about whenever he does his Kyle Brandt speech that he just gave you, literally.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Without Hackett, without the whole thing, the whole Corbin thing, let's move past that now. Let's talk about your bread basket. Let's talk about your bread basket. Let's talk about your bread and butter. The Niners, Deebo Samuel, he is back, but there was no rescission of the trade request. Jimmy G allegedly going to be able to throw within the next week or two. And a source told, I forget who, somebody for the Niners beat,
Starting point is 00:30:40 I apologize for not remembering the name, that Jimmy G will be able to make all the throws and rehab is coming back very, very together. What are you hearing on that situation? Does the Jimmy G trade affect the Debo Samuel payment? And do all parties know that? I don't think those two things are intertwined. They're two separate things. I think Debo, they're still having an open dialogue. And the hope is that the agent, Tory Dandy and John Lynch can come to some sort of agreement where if it's not an extension at this point, at least we can understand that we want Diva to be a part of this and he will get paid. The Jimmy thing is fascinating because back in February at the Combine, I was talking to everyone there.
Starting point is 00:31:15 They're like, well, he'll get traded. He'll get traded. Then the surgery completely threw a corkscrew in this whole thing. No one wanted to trade for a quarterback coming off a surgery without having their eyes on him. And the Niners don't want to trade him for 20 cents on the dollar, which is what essentially they would have to do. Now we're at the point where, okay, Jimmy needs to start throwing. He has not been with the team. He has been, for the most part, when he's been training, he has been in Southern California. Trey Lance has been with the team. Trey Lance has been leading
Starting point is 00:31:40 practices. Trey Lance has been leading guys. Trey Lance has been throwing with wide receivers. I don't know if the train has left the station as far as like who are you going into battle with week one trey lance grew leaps and bounds the past few months from what i'm told as far as playbook but also as far as voice in the locker room and with jimmy being gone trey has really taken that and been like all right i'm the dude like follow me and a lot of the guys are starting to follow and say, okay, this is going to be our future leader. Fascinating what they do with Jimmy Garoppolo,
Starting point is 00:32:12 because I still think a team would want to trade for him at least for the one year where he's making 25 million. But if this guy's arm is right, I feel like he's a better option than some of these quarterbacks you're seeing in other cities. So Shregs, it's not like you alluded to the fact that maybe Jimmy and Trey are going to be competing for a job at San Fran this year after Jimmy did an entire goodbye press conference last year to everybody, including the reporters and media, handled it as a professional.
Starting point is 00:32:31 And if you look in Cleveland, now there's mixed reports on Baker might be playing for the fucking Browns. So both these quarterbacks that we just assumed were gone, Jimmy and Baker, two very different goodbyes from the teams, one public, eh, it ain't going to work. And Jimmy was like, hey, I appreciate everything you guys have done. I'll be on my way. Now they both might be heading back.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Is that what you're hearing and thinking? I could see Jimmy being back in San Francisco and then figuring something out and trying to trade him during training camp. Once he starts getting those throws in, I'd be shocked if Baker Mayfield is a Brown. Why is that? Do you know something that we don't know, or is this just all the public stuff? Yeah, the way that thing ended, it really crumbled. And I think those bridges have been burned. I think that thing, the way that it all went down, the way that
Starting point is 00:33:10 they went out to acquire Deshaun Watson and go out and do the way they did it aggressively. And then on the back end, the way Baker spoke to the team via Instagram and demanding trades and still not exactly being a warm embrace for the brands like i think they've got too much pride in the franchise and he's got too much pride as a quarterback and everyone says yeah but it's 18 million dollars throw your pride at the window have ball out go and have a great season go and then earn that contract the next place i don't think baker wants to play for the browns i don't think he wants to give them his his you know his body again and does he have a choice and all that again i think he'd like to be traded. They just have to find a partner.
Starting point is 00:33:45 And I be honest, they've got your Kobe percent. They still think to Sean Watson's going to play quarterback. I don't think they want Baker Mayfield anymore either. Okay. So does Baker have a choice? You can just answer that quickly and we'll move on. I think he has much of a choice.
Starting point is 00:33:59 No, but if he came to them and was like, you know what? Let's let bygones be bygones, please. I'd love to play for you this year. Can you keep me on? Like maybe that that conversation changes but that's not in baker mayfield's mo that's not that's not his style maybe we never know i mean once again 18 and a
Starting point is 00:34:12 half million dollars and maybe it's the only place that you'll be able to start if the carolina panthers get in the jimmy g game as opposed to the baker mayfield game and the seattle seahawks maybe would be the only destination for bakers that box anthers those are the two teams i would circle but Seahawks aren't going for Jimmy Garoppolo the Niners would never trade him into the division so for me Baker still makes a lot of sense in Carolina or Seattle and Jimmy G I'm not sure the landing spot but you're talking about a guy for one year as a veteran if there's an injury somewhere else or if there's a team that wants to say hey let's give our young guy another guy in the room that i think can actually compete and win the job that would be making a lot of sense too okay let's move to watson this thing is fascinating shrags and i you you've been around
Starting point is 00:34:51 the league a long time i've been around i guess for a long time as well more than a decade no big deal how about that i've been covering the nfl for more than a decade but i've been around the nfl on the inside of it for a little bit and i I feel like I had a position where I could be perspective of everything going on. You know, I could kind of look around and see things and have a little bit more of a dialogue on how the day-to-day works. The Deshaun Watson, and I went through a couple of CBA negotiations and listened to all the people that are pissed off about everything. I had my own deals with the NFLPA because when I was in the substance of abuse program,
Starting point is 00:35:25 they were nowhere to be found as I was getting abused. And then they sold my rights for pennies on a dollar, like you said. So I'm not necessarily the biggest NFLPA fan either, but I do know that they're going to bat for Deshaun Watson currently. This Sue Robinson courtroom that is happening within the NFL bubble, there was a potential settlement that almost came about, but they couldn't agree on a term. And then now they're in court the last two days.
Starting point is 00:35:48 Deshaun Watson's been there. This is happening in the state of Delaware, I believe. Is that where it's at? It's in Delaware, I think. Still happening today. Sue will give her ruling. Then she tells, there's appeals, but the NFL said they don't want to get into a appeal game because that's ugly for everybody. Then that'll go to Roger Goodell.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Roger Goodell makes his decision. Today, it felt like from a tweet from a guy named Mr. Motti, Rob Motti, M-A-D-I. He said that the NFL, if Sue Robinson came back and they were pushing for an indefinite suspension at least a year, NFLPA is obviously pushing for nothing. So if you do just classic negotiation and meet in the middle, that'd be, what, eight and a half games because now it's a 17-game season. So allegedly what Rob Motti's reporting, and we in the middle, that'd be what, eight and a half games? Because now it's a 17-game season.
Starting point is 00:36:26 So allegedly what Rob Motti's reporting, and we don't know who Rob Motti is or who his sources are, he's saying that if Sue Robinson wants to roll back six to eight-game suspension, the NFL wouldn't want to get ugly with it, and they'd say okay. Sue would then take that to Roger Goodell. Roger Goodell would make his own decision on whether or not that's good enough or bad enough. I assume this is going to be at least a season with how everything has gone, how public this has been. It's sounding like maybe there's a little bit of a foundation being laid, like, maybe not a full season. What are you thinking about the whole process? And when do you think
Starting point is 00:36:58 it ends? And how do you think it ends? I can't project on this because it is so fluid. Things were going one way and then you get more women coming out and saying, actually, hey, no, there's more women coming. And that door is left open. So those numbers have continued to add up. Usually those are held in very high regard. And then Goodell will make a recommendation or make a ruling on that. Then the NFLPA will appeal that. But then the NFL can appeal the NFLPA's ability to appeal that, which is what happened with the Brady case. And it goes all the way up the courts and you miss games and the guys win and then they go back. I think the NFL, from their standpoint, would like to have a decision on this in the next couple of weeks before we head into training camp. And I believe Watson's
Starting point is 00:37:46 camp would obviously be hopeful that he can get on the field and the Browns, of course, would be happy to get him on the field. I think the public relations part of it, which you guys were discussing beforehand, I'm not so sure that's going to dictate how this goes. I think it's going to be from the facts that they have and from the recommendations that Ms. Robinson has on it, Justice Robinson has on this thing. Because you start playing a game where you're trying to please one group versus the other, and there's a no-win in that one. Hey, there's going to be people that are pissed regardless. I mean – This is a no-win regardless.
Starting point is 00:38:15 So say they give him a year. Well, then there's going to be a case from the PA saying, well, there's no precedent to give him a year based on the evidence that we have. You know, necessarily that the fact that they haven't settled, they believe that Watson has a game. I'm a super player guy. Hey, I think I'm maybe the most player show, player friendly, player pushing, player promoting show, player apologist show maybe that has ever existed, right? Because I feel like I see some things from their perspective. There is precedent.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Ben Roethlisberger had two cases that did not go to court they both go to court they both got settled he got suspended six games for that that got appealed down to four that's two now i guess it's not fair just to do math and just do that whole thing but i appreciate the fact that the nflpa is saying publicly there's no precedent with this with robert craft or daniel slunder or jerry jones which i guess there isn't but we also all understand that they're owners of the league in which you are currently going to court at right there is precedent in the past and I assume that's exactly what the NFL is saying to Justice Sue Robinson whenever the NFLPA Jeffrey Kessler is an incredible lawyer he got free agency I think and numerous other things I
Starting point is 00:39:24 I know he's a power player. But the public perception of them saying there's no precedent, there's no precedent, there's no precedent. I think I was in Pittsburgh. No, I wasn't. I was in a cold already. It was 06 when it went down. And I was starting to cover the league then.
Starting point is 00:39:37 And that was Goodell, like, as a new commissioner, one of the first things. And he, like, laid the hammer down. And people were like, damn. Like, whoa, okay. And here we are all these years later. one of the first things and he like laid the hammer down and people were like damn like whoa okay and here we are all these years later and goodell's you know this long tenured commissioner and i think this might be one of the trickiest cases yet that he's had to rule on i think he's going to lean on what the justice says but not public relations i feel like this is going to be
Starting point is 00:40:00 what the facts are and what they have and you to just throw the book at Deshaun Watson because they feel like that's the right thing to do and that's going to be a win publicly. The NFLPA is powerful, and Jeffrey Kessler is not going to take that and just go down without a fight. Agreed. I can't wait to watch it. It's fascinating because there's so much other shit, I think, with this penalty than the Baker stuff. And how's the Baker stuff affected the Jimmy G stuff? How's the Jimmy G stuff has the Jimmy G stuff affected Debo stuff what you're saying are two things but it feels like there's and I've had
Starting point is 00:40:29 I've had I've had people around the league reach out to me because you know I've got the NFL network connection I'm like do you have a date we're gonna know and it's like I I don't and a lot of times I do I hear things and it's like all right expect it around the draft expect this around this is one where the NFL almost almost by design, intentionally, deliberately, and in this case, rightfully, is like, we're not putting a date on this. We're not doing it to do a favor to Deshaun Watson or to the Browns. We're leaving this door open until we have as many facts as we can and do as thorough a job as we can because we don't want egg in our face on the back end.
Starting point is 00:41:00 So the timetable that everyone's putting on this, and I even said it, I'm like, they'd like it before training camp. That comes from the teams and the players and the PA and Watson and all this stuff, because that's nice and clean. I don't think the NFL is necessarily worried about that stuff as much as maybe we in the sports media are. Shregs, these off seasons, man. There is no off season, bro. There is, though. Because this off season, we're talking about this right now. We're talking about litigation
Starting point is 00:41:26 and figuring out what the whole thing is. You know what I mean? We need football back. How many days, Connor? 71 days. 71 days to NFL football, Shrakes. 71 days. Let's go, dude. We can make it. We can get through all this stuff, can't we, Shrakes? I got a little taste of it this weekend
Starting point is 00:41:41 in Kansas City, seeing the Chiefs fans. I was hanging out with Colquitt, great punter, great dude. We were kicking it. And then just a little taste of it this weekend in Kansas City, seeing the Chiefs fans. And I was hanging out with Colquitt, great punter, great dude. We were kicking it. And then just a little taste of it, and it gets me going. And I'm like, I can't believe we got Bills Rams in a couple months, Thursday night. Like, let's go. Time leaves from tomorrow. You guys were in the studio for like two days there at NFL Films.
Starting point is 00:42:01 It looked fucking awesome. That was a beautiful setup. And then you guys went back to the digital. Is it going to be kind of halftime in, halftime out now for you guys? Yeah, we're going to do a little bit of jumping back and forth. And then my training camp will be fully back in studio. And we should have some new faces joining us here and there.
Starting point is 00:42:15 The crew we're putting together. Hey, that's official, right? Jamie's official now? I don't know what's official publicly, press release-wise, but I've chatted with her a few times. She's the real deal. Jamie Erdahl is her name. She was a sideline reporter with the NFL,
Starting point is 00:42:31 then of course with the SEC doing the number one games. She's the real deal. It's been really cool getting to know her. So the expectation is she'll be hosting, but I don't say anything officially because I don't know how the contracts and all that work. Well, congrats to her, Andy. Are you guys going out in the woods doing some trust falls and everything like this?
Starting point is 00:42:47 You like this? I'm out here in the wilderness. I needed a little time off, and you know what? We're doing the show remotely. I said, let's get out of the city. Let's get into the sticks. So we rented a little small spot out here in the woods, and I'm going to go for a little journey afterwards and find myself.
Starting point is 00:43:00 Hey, listen. Nick Foles did that. He ended up winning a Super Bowl MVP. So you could potentially win another Emmy and maybe get that show back to where it was just like two, three months ago. That's right. It's been a while. Hey, let's go.
Starting point is 00:43:13 Good morning, football. Hey, that's on you and Brandt. That's on you and Brandt's shoulders. We like it. We're embracing it. Like, let's go. I feel like you should. You know, it's funny.
Starting point is 00:43:22 I was talking to the impractical Jokers. Name drop. But those guys lost one of their, one of their hosts. Yeah. And Q and they're like, you know, change. It happens. Like, let's go, let's put on a great show for people and show that this can still keep
Starting point is 00:43:38 rolling. That's how I feel about good morning football. I love the damn show and I'm not going to let this thing die. So Kyle feels the same way. We're planning. And just like you guys do every day. It's a pleasure and it's a joy. And I just can't wait to have another great year. Hey, don't leave out Salvo.
Starting point is 00:43:52 Yeah, come on. Sal's a huge part of this. Yeah, he is. Absolutely. I was an Impractical Joker fan for maybe eight months. I was in there with them. And then I went to a live show, gave them some of my money. Hey, I appreciate what you've done. Then I watched a little bit. Then I went to a live show, gave them some of my money. Hey, I appreciate what you've done.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Then I watched a little bit. Then I was like, all right, I've experienced this. But they are brilliant. I think that is an absolutely brilliant concept. The microphones and the cups, just the whole, the amount of hours, too, that they got to sit in there to get the patience. I'm a big fan of them. I didn't know you were best friends with them.
Starting point is 00:44:23 You know why it works? Because the same exact magic you have in that room in Indianapolis that I got to see in person. It's their boys. They're real boys. They're not put together by an executive. No, we're Mustangs. They're boys. They're not you.
Starting point is 00:44:34 We're Mustangs. We're not boys. You're not. We're not the Cowboys. You did not go to our house. We're the Plum Mustangs, baby. No, you did not. Mustangs right together.
Starting point is 00:44:40 Everybody in this room now because Ty is out with his baby for the next few weeks. Yeah, congrats, Ty. Come on, Ty. So Nick has moved into the room. So me, Nick, and Tone went to the same high school. And Connor. So Connor, for the last few days, he's been like, oh, it's like plum high school in here. Just a Mustang sitting around the cafeteria, you know, shooting the shit.
Starting point is 00:45:00 Ask your question. Pat, who was the best student out of you guys? Like, I know the athlete and who got the most girls. Who was the best student? Who had the best grades? Nick. Yeah. Right, Tony?
Starting point is 00:45:09 No, Tony. Tony, that's like an Ivy League type school. All scholastics. Let's not. I mean, you went to West Virginia, no offense. Whoa. Whoa. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:45:20 We're all mustaches. Are we busting out SATs and GPAs? I was a very good student can we do SATs what'd you guys get on the SATs I would love this or ACTs
Starting point is 00:45:28 I got 1280 on it it was back when did you really yeah but my GPA was very low so a lot of people oh this guy doesn't try basically

Thank you. I'm a great test taker. It always happened. Wonderlic very high as well.
Starting point is 00:45:45 I just don't apply myself in class normally because I didn't like the teachers. You know, I'm like a full one of those guys. What'd you get? You got 1210? 1210. Where'd you go to school? Emory in Atlanta. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:45:56 What size is that? I just figure it's good. 1210 is shit. What is your... Bro, I was all verbal. I got like 780 verbal verbal like a perfect score on verbal i got like a 200 on math yeah my gpa was so bad and then my sat score was good so to get into west virginia i knew what i had to get sat wise that's really good though yeah yeah thank
Starting point is 00:46:19 you i appreciate always been a good tester i was pretty hungover when i took it as well no nobody would be surprised amazing yeah yeah nobody would be surprised. Amazing. Yeah, yeah. Nobody would be. Well, I guess I was still kind of boozed up, I guess. It's not really a hangover in high school. Walked in there, had a good time. I think I had to score above an 800 or 900 or something like that. What did Tone get?
Starting point is 00:46:34 Yeah, Tone, what did you get? 160. That's a good score. Whoa. That's a good score. I graduated 3.5. I could be. Nick just said okay in a fashion.
Starting point is 00:46:42 Yeah, he probably knew. No, I had an 1100. Oh, in the same ballpark? But I had a 36. Oh! He got me then. Looks like. I had a baby Nick.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Thank you, Nick. You have a quiz or something. Nick also went to like nine years of school, college, you know? I was retiring from the NFL and he was taking another class. It was like, yo, what are we doing? Like every area of my life, though, except for this, I have rapidly declined. I think everybody has. I think everybody has.
Starting point is 00:47:11 So if we were to take a test. Hey, Emory's a good school. Emory's a good school. Good school. What was your GPA? High threes? 4-0. 4-0.
Starting point is 00:47:20 This guy. Peter. This guy's a brain. Did all the extracurriculars. Was that kid um played sports played three sports like was was ready to go i was a great candidate they didn't have anyone from new jersey so i was like i'm the guy in schools in atlanta so they wanted my yankee ass connor your question for the genius here yeah strakes is there any thought that all the other
Starting point is 00:47:41 lawsuits are going to come into effect when they at when they kind of rule on the watson because they got gruden they got i mean now camara they got the snyder thing they have the flores suit like there's obviously a lot of you know other things surrounding the nfl right now so are they going to try and just get this done and maybe it is eight or ten or twelve games i don't know i don't think so i don't think there's a timetable based on those other things but those other things are still around and they're lingering and obviously the daniel snyder thing is is unrelated to the nflpa but it's something that everyone's watching like this this is the time to get that stuff done but i don't think the nfl is putting a hard deadline and let's just put out a ruling to put out a ruling i i honestly feel this case is something that they're going to take their time
Starting point is 00:48:21 with and they'll they'll decide what they decide when they feel like they're ready to decide it. Shregs, now that Terry McLaurin has got his deal, have you heard anything about Seattle, Deontay Johnson, Debo? I forgot Seattle's wide receivers. DK Metcalf. DK Metcalf. Have you heard anything along those lines? No, DK is the one that I'd keep my eye on, though, because McLaurin was next up on the list and his agent got that done. But Debo and DK and A.J. Brown are all represented by the same guy.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Dondi. A.J. got his. Debo's still having the conversation. But DK is a fascinating one. And, you know, if I'm him, I'd want to get that done before I have a season without Russell Wilson where the numbers maybe dip or maybe the production's down. But they love him up there in Seattle and they could have traded him during the draft. And I'm sure there were many calls and it really wasn't up for debate. They weren't looking to shop him. Well, we just went right through the heart out.
Starting point is 00:49:14 And that was our fault, not yours. But I was going to say our two's on the other side, but what your answer there about DK Metcalf is so real because it felt like he was leaving. and then now it feels full on, like, hey, this is one of the pillars now that Bobby's out and Russ is out. Is that a fact? Like, they are going to
Starting point is 00:49:33 get that deal done with DK? It sounded like that was the case. I would expect them to try to get a deal done before letting him walk out or trade him like his college buddy AJ Brown was traded. Hey, 25 mil per that guy good player great deal 57 guaranteed oh this one 76.8 of his money has been guaranteed did you see how that was reported yesterday scary terry's deal it said uh highest signing bonus amongst
Starting point is 00:49:59 active wide receivers and his percentage is 76.8% guaranteed or something like that. I was like, all right, here we go. We're diving into the numbers of contract. I respect it. I liked it. I like it. Shrinks. You guys are great. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:50:14 I don't know Terry McLaurin's percentage of guaranteed, but I can talk ball and I love talking with you guys. Sorry about the hard out. No, the hard out already came and gone. We are just on YouTube right now. Thank you. The radio listeners aren't going to be happy is what we're saying. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:50:28 Sorry, we don't know if any of them are out there. It's so worthless. I should have just gotten out of there. I should have seen the clock. Yeah, especially up in the fucking sticks that you're on. Yeah. You're not locking the wall over there. I thought you guys went to Emory.
Starting point is 00:50:39 You fucking body clock. Hey, we just looked this up. Emory is not an Ivy League school, but it is on par with the education of an Ivy League school, it says on the internet. And that's what Tone Diggs went to. They say the same thing. I assume one's telling the truth,
Starting point is 00:50:51 that'd be yours, and one is lying, and that'd be Tone's. No, no, if there was more grass at Duquesne University, it would have been an Ivy League school. Legally. Is that Emory's issue?
Starting point is 00:51:00 Is it too much concrete? Emory's wonderful. It's a little paradise in Atlanta. I'm telling you, we went down for a visit. It was sunny in like the middle of January. And I looked at my dad and I'm like, this is where I'm going. And that's where I ended up. The universe has told me here.
Starting point is 00:51:16 The sun's shining. Atlanta. Hey, listen, Pat, this was like peak Atlanta. Like Outkast, Ludacris, Usher just getting started in Atlanta. Lil Jon, Titty Boy. It was great. Titty Boy not around. He's still around playing basketball.
Starting point is 00:51:34 I don't think he's rapping yet. Lil Jon, the Eastside Boys, they were having a whisper song probably down there. From the window to the wall. Only 19% of people are accepted to Emory. 17th wealthiest school in North America. 17th. Let's go, Schrags! Yeah, I'm pretty sure Duquesne will let anybody in. I'm talking about Coca-Cola money. That's where it all comes from. Woodruff.
Starting point is 00:51:55 Chick-fil-A. It's a huge donor. So all this Coca-Cola money just come pouring in. You know, it was just like living in paradise. It was great. Well, no better person it could happen to than you, Shrakes, especially how you came in here toting Baron Corbin's name. Yeah, that was interesting. I tried being a part of the storyline. Then I thought you were actually mad at me, and I'm like, I'm never talking again about anything I don't know about.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Actually, I was. What are we talking about? You mark? I actually was, man. Come on. Jeez Louise, dude. We appreciate you, Shrakes. Have a good one, man.
Starting point is 00:52:23 Enjoy the sticks out there. You guys are awesome. I'm going to go for a walk and kind of talk to myself. Hell yeah. Talk to yourself about what you said earlier. I know. I feel bad. You should.
Starting point is 00:52:33 Ladies and gentlemen, Peter Schrager. Hey, Shrakes! Let's ride. Hour two on this Wednesday, June 29th, 2022. Sports talk obviously continues here on the internet and the radio. The toxic table is here at Nick Moraldo, at Boston
Starting point is 00:52:53 Connor, one half of the hammer, Cowboys 10 digs. Tony, I didn't know you had a three, what, four? High school? Yeah. Five. Holy hell. How were you able to accomplish that? Congratulations. Good on you, pal. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:06 And Nick, you had what? A 3.6? Yeah. Jeez, you nerds. I had no idea. My God. Yeah, you guys are awesome. I thought it was important at the time.
Starting point is 00:53:14 It is. Yeah, it's still. It's very important. So you can stick with this conversation. Fox, you had a 3.8? Yeah. Coach was very on me about that. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:53:25 It's all relative, though. I only took one AP class. There were people that took five AP classes, had college credit. They had a worse degree than me. Yeah, I ditched all those. See, I appreciate the fact that Sally and Tim wanted me to do well. I did. I did.
Starting point is 00:53:36 I probably had a low 3-something just showing up and doing my thing. But also, I was on the road like four days a week, so Sally and tim were very understanding like hey there might be homework that you've never done in your entire life and it's like yeah never done it actually and that can affect your grade every once in a while especially with some teachers that just don't want to give you the hey how about it's you versus me just give me tests you know i don't need the homework it's just you versus me let's figure it out that always got me you guys being that good of students is very surprising i'm very impressed also i i did the thing where you would
Starting point is 00:54:09 do the homework for the next class in the class before and then i was very good at cheating see i was oh see i never cheated oh yeah cheating you get you get that dixon ticonderoga and it has like the four or five sides and you can etch like a lot of people would write notes and then slip them into the mechanical pencil so you can see through the mechanical pencil yeah I did uh I could etch and I could do it another solid move was the bottle back when they had the wrapping yeah people would have it on the wrapping and then you'd be able to unwrap and fully wrap and pour that well then we weren't allowed to carry water bottles at school because one kid filled his up with vodka, and they took them away from everybody.
Starting point is 00:54:46 That's sweet. That's Plum, baby. Yeah. Joining us now is somebody that would have fit in just fine at Plum. Probably would have had more sacks than Joe Hadley, which is a shame. More tackles than Tone Diggs. For sure. A college football national champion, a Super Bowl champion,
Starting point is 00:55:00 a Ryder Cup champion, a COVID survivor, private plane survivor, a man who just got a fresh haircut just a couple days ago yep aj hawk yeah aj what was you were very good in school i assume centerville they just gave you a's a's it's ohio you do your aj hawk we're just he's a hawk i never had any of that at any level thank you college i went to class i had to try hard i mean i graduated with a three-point, probably just above a three-point. College or high school?
Starting point is 00:55:28 High school. College, about the same. Yeah, baby. Holy shit. Never below three. I heard Diggs. I was on when Diggs said, like, all I did was, okay, in first period, I'm doing my homework.
Starting point is 00:55:39 Like, they assign homework. I'm getting it done. So I didn't really ever hear what the teachers were saying because I was busy doing the homework from the previous class because i absolutely despised homework see i was pretty attentive in class i wanted to catch the teacher up in some stuff i enjoy you know what i mean like i enjoy listening i just want to finish my work see that's all i cared about i don't care about the work like is this purpose i don't think there's a point to this here is what that was always my explanation to most stuff. Just give me the test.
Starting point is 00:56:06 Just give me the test. I'm listening to what you're saying. But I was like Nick Cannon in that Drumline movie, though. I'm not really read good. I didn't see that. So he couldn't read the movie. It's a great movie. It was before he had 45.
Starting point is 00:56:16 Oh, you've talked about it. Yeah, he can't read it, but he can play. But he can hear it, and then he can mimic it and repeat it. That's kind of how my brain operates as well. I don't read good, but I can normally hear or visualize and see things so classes were very important to me so i would have to pay attention in the classes and there wasn't really anything else to do so i would show up at the classes but the homework i've always just kind of mailed it in on my entire life you're like mozart well nick cannon drumline i don't know about he's like mozart nick cannon drumline so i'm like nick cannon who's like Mozart. Nick Cannon and Drumline. So I'm like Nick Cannon, who's like Mozart.
Starting point is 00:56:46 Yeah. In Drumline, though. I'm not like Nick Cannon in real life. He's just trying to impregnate everybody. I think he hates white people, too. Really? I think he has been on the record for saying that. Who?
Starting point is 00:56:54 Nick Cannon. I think he does not like us whites. I don't think he likes white people. Oh, I didn't know that. Because he slaughtered America's Got Talent for a while, too. Yeah, he was the host of America's Got Talent when he gave a speech about how terrible white people are. Oh.
Starting point is 00:57:06 And then I think he went into a full thing where he was trying to build his own network. Well, Wildin' Out is still a show, I think. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe it was... He's just having another baby. That's all I know about him. 15 of them. I think he's trying to build his own... That's his network, yeah. I think he's in a commercial about that, actually. Does he hate white
Starting point is 00:57:21 people? I don't remember. I remember watching something where it sounded sure like... Well, there's a headline that says Nick Cannon fired after calling white people, and I don't remember. I remember watching something where it sounded sure like, oh, there's a headline that says Nick Cannon fired after calling white people and I can't read what the rest of it says, but.
Starting point is 00:57:30 So he called them something. What did he call them? Well, that would be us. We keep saying them, but like I did think we are whites, but I think he,
Starting point is 00:57:38 he's talked about how bad he hated us, which by the way, there's a lot of people that hate us right now and I would like to let everybody know I understand.
Starting point is 00:57:44 Okay. I hate a lot of the old whites as well. Yeah. Now, I would like maybe a little bit of an exception because, you know, some of us didn't just necessarily get born into the beautiful lives of a lot of whites, the old whites that have come before us, but I do understand
Starting point is 00:57:58 there's differences in life being this. What do you say, Zeke? You can say it. Into the microphone. Oh, it wasn't about whites it was about the uh jewish community oh okay nick cannon sorry not you yeah no was this recently uh like within the last year and a half i mean i remember because i was a big nick cannon fan love wilding out love the whole thing he was a host he was incredibly intelligent he was a hustler stand-up comedy.
Starting point is 00:58:25 He does everything. Comedy, rapping, hosting, producing. I'm like, this dude's a fucking one-man record crew. And then he did this entire speech about how, you know. I was like, all right, so this guy hates me. I don't know if he hates me. All right, whatever the case. He's back, though.
Starting point is 00:58:42 He's producing babies. Oh, yeah. On a regular basis. AJ, let's talk a little bit of sports, shall we? George Kittle chatted about the Debo Samuel situation and a little bit more with the Bustin' with the boys. And we are former players, so we completely understand why and how he is saying what we're about to show.
Starting point is 00:58:59 But I think a lot of fans of the Niners might not have expected George Kittle to say what he has said here, but I think we are in an ever-evolving education system of what the NFL actually is, which is a business as opposed to what it was in the past when players who made any decisions for themselves were labeled terrible, not good for the team. This is from Bussin' with the Boys. George Kittle joined Taylor, no, Will Compton, I believe, in a conversation about Debo Samuel. Dude, everyone loves Debo.
Starting point is 00:59:27 I mean, and like, I also think that it's the NFL. Like, go get what you deserve, dude. Like, Debo deserves to get paid a lot of money. And if they don't want to pay you a lot of money, do what you need to do, dog. Like, your locker's here. If you want to leave, hey, it's okay. Like, there's no bad blood with me. The window to play NFL football and to get paid a lot of money is like this big for your whole life.
Starting point is 00:59:44 You got to be incredibly selfish. You just have to. And like going through contract negotiations is incredibly difficult because you don't, I've never like, I try my hardest to not be selfish ever. And so when you have to be selfish in that moment, it's really hard for a lot of guys. Like, yeah, I mean, there's just, there's a lot to go as to contract negotiations. It's not a lot of fun.
Starting point is 01:00:00 Best thing I ever heard, Richard Sherman told me, it's like braces. It sucks the entire time. As soon as you get them off, you forget that you ever had them. Very real. And that's the bygones be bygones type conversation that we're all chatting about with Baker and anybody else that has a dispute with a team. Normally, it's business related. So it feels like for Baker, it's a little bit more personal related.
Starting point is 01:00:17 But any business issue can be settled with the right deal. And in the right deal, maybe you don't get everything you want. They don't get everything they want. they don't get everything they want, but you made a deal, you get to move forward, you get to move on. The first time you are the item in Pawn Stars that is being debated from the bald fuck
Starting point is 01:00:33 and the expert that they just got down the road, it is an uncomfortable decision. I don't know if you ever had that, being a top five pick, I assume as you got older that happened, but the business side can jade the shit out of you in the NFL, and I respect and appreciate the fact that kiddo's coming out for his teammates saying hey man you got to do what you got to do because he's not the only one that's basically the mindset
Starting point is 01:00:52 of every nfl locker room across the league oh yeah all they care about is what do you do when you're here when you are in the facility when we in game like really what do you do in games we don't even care what you do in practice anything off season it really doesn't matter if you can play on Sundays and Thursdays and Saturdays and Mondays every day we play now then it doesn't matter like they don't no one cares so whatever happens off the field and with contracts when I was first in the league I always thought about that especially like in college that was back when guys actually held out for two three weeks o-lineman would hold out and try to get some more money or just try to miss camp and all that stuff i always thought
Starting point is 01:01:29 like man when they come back is it going to be weird with the coaches and everybody is everyone gonna be pissed at him no it's like santa claus comes and everyone hugs them i'm like that's amazing this dude just missed three weeks and he came in it's like the president of united states shows up in the locker room and there's a lot of coaches too though coaches are all excited too there's a lot of coaches that talk shit about how you're going to puke today. Hey, you are going to be out of shape. There's a lot of shots
Starting point is 01:01:51 taken about what they missed, what they didn't miss. But as soon as somebody comes back, if it's a business dispute and not a personal reason, as soon as they come back, everybody's loud about it. Everybody's like, look who it is! Rich man! Rich man! Rich man!
Starting point is 01:02:06 You know, like that is a full thing. And you try to get past that awkwardness as fast as possible and make it seem like we were right back in this, that wasn't a deal. And I think inside locker rooms and people that understand the business of the NFL and maybe have been fired before or have gotten fucked over in a deal before, and that's why the locker rooms are the way they are, this has always been understood. But I think for fans, and I'll ask you, Nick,
Starting point is 01:02:28 fans, I think, have always never really viewed it this way. But now with the modern media, and the more that we know, and getting to learn about players via their social media, and what they give back as opposed to what they don't give back, it's hard to just say, oh, this person's a fucking asshole, when there's a lot of evidence that says, like, no, the guy's actually not an asshole. He's just trying to handle his business.
Starting point is 01:02:46 It feels like it's been a little bit of turn of the tide on the viewership of business in the NFL with players. Now that we, as fans, are exposed to all the news in terms of the financial situations, all the billions the organization and the league is bringing in, it's a little more eye-opening in the sense, OK, these players want their fair share, too, and they're going to do what they need to do to get it and it's business you view it more as a business than it is so just so oh i'm from pittsburgh i like the steelers fuck everybody else you're lucky you get to play steelers because you might have played in high school and you're like this
Starting point is 01:03:16 person has a job that i dreamed of and now he's gonna act like he's not making enough money it's like well if you're in that position pal the job dreamed of, we would all want you to make the most amount of money that you could possibly make. It's a little bit different than your high school when you're selling tickets and maybe raising a little bit money for your athletic department. And as opposed to billions and billions and billions of dollars being on the line. Not that you can't affect your future brain and body in high school. You certainly can. But in the NFL, you see a lot of the future injuries and body in high school you certainly can but in the NFL you see a lot of the future uh injuries and bodies of players it's like I'm happy that we're at a point where it feels like
Starting point is 01:03:51 people are much more understanding that this is a business this isn't the high school game that you played or that the guys played this is a vastly it's the same game different world AJ and I'm happy but it's not all bad like the fact that it is a business, everyone instantly wants to jump and say, oh, it's terrible. It's the love of the game. That's why they started playing. Yeah, of course. And the majority of those guys out there playing absolutely love football.
Starting point is 01:04:14 But there's just a lot off the field that happens. And I think what's cool is watching old school coaches. That would surprise me when I was young in the league. I was pretty naive to that. I assumed, like where I come from, hey hey if you make any waves outside the locker room like they're gonna kill you and everyone's gonna hate you when you get back like that's what I assume like hey you're a traitor or whatever and it's not the case at all even like the most old school diehard football coaches that you can't even have a real conversation with they only know how to talk football and three technique
Starting point is 01:04:42 and shade and where this guy's gonna be even that person usually like i've come across where they'll tell me hey man no hey take care of your business do do what you got to do we get it if you need to get out of here like i've watched them tell people that and i'm like oh okay it's pretty cool how there's kind of a good little balance i think and to the tomlin point it's almost like the coaches feel like hey you gotta hand your business when you get back it's on me to make sure you catch up like it is you know it's a cool it's a cool thing called coach i'm not scared to coach that's why i like tom when a lot like he's hey yeah that's what that's what we're here to do what did aaron rogers say cool profession tough business or good profession tough business
Starting point is 01:05:16 i forget how he described playing in the nfl but that's uh that's because a lot of guys that make the nfl and i reiterate this fact a lot but but it's why the business becomes like a potential jaded spot or a not-so-favorite part, as George Kittle described it and Sherman described it, as braces. Most guys from high school are being tabbed as NFL guys. This is an NFL guy. This guy's the best in his school. This guy's the best in his team, in his surrounding area.
Starting point is 01:05:47 He has a lot of articles being written about him. In college, this fucking guy might have redshirted, but this is an NFL guy on campus. This is an NFL guy. Then you get to a league filled with all the guys that had the same exact thing, and you are being told that you're not worth the amount that this person's worth or why are you asking for what this person's worth when your entire life not everybody obviously but most guys your entire life you've been told you're the guy you're the guy you're the guy
Starting point is 01:06:14 then you go to negotiation they're like uh you're certainly a guy but the guy is worth this yeah you're worth this and that's just a direct punch right to the nuts of pride for a lot of guys and that's when you see people get like oh fuck you everything i've done for you i fucking broke an ankle i sprained my fucking knee my ac joint for this team and now you're gonna tell me that this guy that's never done a thing for our team is worth more than what i'm worth and what i'm asking like what I'm asking for is a fucking problem that's how it spirals I'm not saying that's by the way my position I'm fucking punter I'm just saying I viewed this numerous times with numerous teammates when guys
Starting point is 01:06:56 from outside would come and get paid then these guys would be like hey I'm up this what I'm looking for and like yeah we can't do that it's like motherfucker when you were literally sitting in a corner in philadelphia losing i was playing in a super bowl for this fucking team i was doing this whole thing like that is that's when the business becomes you know a little bit of a sore subject for a lot of guys i think that's what that uh that chip on the shoulder mentality works very very well in all of pro sports because when you add business into something that is very personal and egos and everything, that's what drives a lot of people. I mean, that scenario you laid out, I can see being pissed.
Starting point is 01:07:33 Yeah, if you're that dude and you know what you've done for the team, the little stuff you've done behind the scenes, the relationships you have, and then the GM or owner decides to do something that probably the coaches might not even like, that's just how it goes, though. You have to. I always thought, like, hey, you can be pissed. You can be mad, whatever. Like, give it 90 seconds, three minutes.
Starting point is 01:07:51 Do whatever you want. You got to move on eventually. Yeah, because if you play bad, everything that you're bitching about, they are going to hold against you and say, that's what's fun about football. I don't want to cut you off. But like other sports, let's say a quarterback, Hunter, a little different. Quarterbacks, you get all juiced before the game. It's probably bad because you're going to overthrow people, whatever.
Starting point is 01:08:07 You've got to somehow harness that. But if you're pissed off as a football player, it's by far the greatest sport to play. Because if you hate everybody, you hate coaches, this team, the front office, whoever, you just fly around and don't care. And sometimes that's the best way to play. Tom McMahon used to – so something would happen, right? It's probably a tweet of mine.
Starting point is 01:08:28 I'd get some sort of letter and I'd be like, fuck this place, dude. Like, what are we even? I've sold more jerseys than fucking everybody in this goddamn locker room for this place. I am Walter Payton man of the year for this fucking place. And I'm getting shit for a goddamn tweet. So I'll go outside and like, I'm obviously a little bit pissed off. And Tom McMahon's office had a window
Starting point is 01:08:47 right to the practice field, you know, it was right next to it. And he would walk out and he goes, I can tell you're pissed off today. That fucking boom coming off the floor. How do we, who did it? Who did it? How do we do this anymore?
Starting point is 01:08:57 Did you hear what this guy said? I'm like, fuck off, Tom, okay? Because I literally, as a punter, you're like a golfer, right? You're trying to find like as much, like I'm trying to be as cool as possible at all times, but a little bit of fucking, you know, a little anger, not bad. I didn't even think about a big meathead linebacker though.
Starting point is 01:09:13 It's just pissed off. Like, Hey Coon, you're fucking getting it today. I don't know if you heard what Andrew Brant fucking said to me earlier. Let's go. Can we go go on big Mike? Yeah. Fuck you, Mike. I heard what you said too.
Starting point is 01:09:25 I said that to Chuck once. I gave Chuck a nice, fuck you, Mike. I heard what you said, too. I said that to Chuck once. I gave Chuck a nice, hey, fuck you. I heard you were a part of this. Chuck, what the? What did I do? What? I'm so sorry. You probably did.
Starting point is 01:09:35 The next day, I had to do like, obviously, you're a coach, head coach of the football team. I have a lot of respect for you. I shouldn't have just said fuck you to you. But in the moment, you know, in the moment, he's like, yeah, listen, I understand. Just explain to me why I'm being told to fuck off first before I get it. Oh, my God, Chuck, you got it. Go ahead, Connor. Well, the contract stuff, I don't know if it happened when you guys were in the league,
Starting point is 01:09:56 but, like, now there's guys who get drafted and they, like, hold out. Like, didn't both the Bosa brothers, as soon as they got drafted, they needed to have it? Yeah, the contract. It actually used to happen way more. Now they can't really. Well, that's because everything's slotted except for the guarantees and when you get the guarantees, right? So the Bosa brothers were trying to work when the guarantees were coming,
Starting point is 01:10:12 when other guys, I think, just slotted, take it, keep it moving. I respect it. I like it. Just like I assume a lot of people at the Chargers and the Niners, whenever they came back, they're like, oh, okay, big business, Bosa, trying to get the guarantee. Mine tried to fuck the team a little bit earlier. We like that. We like that. We respect that. Well, and they know, too, because both those back, they're like, oh, okay, big business, Bosa, trying to get the guaranteed money, trying to fuck the team a little bit earlier. We like that.
Starting point is 01:10:26 We like that. We respect that. Well, and they know, too, because both those guys, I feel like, came in right away and were unbelievable. I feel like players, like you guys were saying, they kind of know their value more so immediately because they are slotted with everybody else. How do you feel Schrager said this about Green Bay getting two Georgia guys? He said, these guys are studs we don't know
Starting point is 01:10:47 they were studs in college absolutely everybody so they should be studs at the next level everybody was studs nobody knows though yeah nobody knows until they actually play yeah i i almost i get so mad whenever that happens like oh this guy's gonna go on to do blah blah blah it's like who says that well in high school he had 50,000 yards it's like all right he was playing against fucking connor yeah high school and he go he was in the sec it's like i understand that i understand he was sec great players but not everybody's just able to pick it up in the nfl it's a different sport right and you would be able to attest to this a lot more why is the nfl so vastly different than college and why do you think some guys make it and some
Starting point is 01:11:22 guys don't is it all because of the amount of time you have to prepare and study and everything like that i mean yeah that's a huge part of it but there's still people out there there's still guys that can play off just raw athletic ability and they're at you know they can just shut people down uh and what they do i mean the biggest difference probably is that everybody is good in college you play a team and if they have even in the sec even in the sec yeah like if they have three or four guys that are going to get drafted i could say i'm saying i'm playing defense in college and the offense i'm facing has maybe three guys drafted there's not a whole lot of teams that have three offensive players drafted like i'm playing texas vince young my senior year
Starting point is 01:11:58 they have all these guys in these studs but the majority of them aren't going to the nfl they're done playing after college so it's just another level of, you know, just weeding it out. And it's crazy how obviously the speed and everything is gigantic, but also your circumstances. What's the team like around you? What's your coach like? Is your coach a mess? Do you have a good scheme?
Starting point is 01:12:16 All of it matters. And I think that's why I hate, too, whenever people say this guy's not going to be a good pro. It's like, how the fuck do you know? Yeah. Like Darius Leonard. He was the worst draft pick in the history of the NFL. Somebody bleacher how can you say that exactly that's my issue that's but it's the same on the other way around whenever people say like this rookie's gonna be an all pro
Starting point is 01:12:33 it's like we you do not know that you you have no idea if that is how this is gonna end up or not none of us do that's why the draft spectacular is such a joke because we don't know any of their names or how they're going to do. And we say that after every single pick. I have no idea who this guy is. Could it be good? Maybe it could be good. But I think that's real.
Starting point is 01:12:52 Like, I hope that – because expectations should be set. Although somebody's getting drafted and everything, we have – there is numerous guys that have had a lot of fanfare, a lot of expectation, and then they have never made it. And I just think, on the flip side, there's a lot of people that had zero fanfare, zero expectations, and completely, it's like
Starting point is 01:13:13 a scratch-off. The NFL is like a fucking scratch-off. If you have the athletic ability, okay, you have an opportunity. But other than that, I don't know if anybody's ever going to be able to figure out how or why, except for the people that are there, and they'll have their own version of how or why. Go ahead, Tony. As far as the contracts and the fans and understanding and stuff like that,
Starting point is 01:13:33 I don't know if it's so much as a general thing as far as it's case by case. I think obviously certain fan bases are going to be rougher on players for holding out. Steelers fans are going to be worse than, say, Chargers fans or something like that. But also, like, when TJ Watt held out or held in, fans were very, very understanding. But when Deontay Johnson didn't go to a mandatory optional minicamp this weekend, fans weren't as understanding.
Starting point is 01:13:58 So I feel like it's definitely like a player-by-player basis. So for Deontay, like, hey, you're one of our only wide receivers you're young and you have not won anything yet so get your fucking ass in there is that what everybody was saying in pittsburgh pretty much deontay needs to keep his blinders on deontay needs to keep his blinders on because as soon as he makes one catch some wheel route whatever he does everybody's back on his side that's just the second you come back it's like it didn't happen though the braces analogy is perfect like The second you come back, it's like it didn't happen, though. The braces analogy is perfect. The second they come back, if they make plays, people completely forget about the holdout.
Starting point is 01:14:29 Yeah, that was genius, by the way, from Richard Sherman. I'm going to act like I... The guaranteed money changes things from the fans' perspective, too, because I don't think a lot of people put that into their brains. These guys need the guaranteed money because at any given point, they could be hurt cars over. So you could say, oh, yeah, he's got two years left on his contract. He's supposed to make $30 million.
Starting point is 01:14:48 But at any given point, that contract could just disappear. Well, yeah, and also they could cut you and they could. It's not a contract like people think of normal contracts. Yeah, normal contracts, when you sign with a company, it's like, hey, this is what we're going to do and this is what we're going to pay you. In the NFL, it's like, hey, here's potentially if we decide to keep you around what you will make. But there's also a lot of fuckery that happens. If you after your fourth year I believe if you're a vested player and you're on this uh part of the 53 or the active roster on day one
Starting point is 01:15:13 your contract is guaranteed for the rest of the season so you see a lot of guys get cut literally the day before the first game who've been on the team they get kind of hidden then they're signed on Wednesday and that's so the team doesn't have to guarantee them the entire season contract, but they can pay them week to week. And it's like, yeah, that's good business. It's like, yeah, but also from the player's side, you see why they want guaranteed money as opposed to having zero control over it at all, AJ.
Starting point is 01:15:38 Absolutely. That situation you were talking about getting cut right before the opening day and then coming back, I believe coon did that in with the uh with the saints for a year or two where he would come like he would pop up and down throughout the season multiple times i think he i think he still did very well but i was like man they need to give you some stability i feel like yeah griff whalen was cut i think eight times in one season maybe seven times once he's having a folk this year and he had like one of his best years. Nick Folk?
Starting point is 01:16:06 Yeah, Nick Folk, I believe he got cut, and Brian Hoyer right before the season, then they were on the active roster for week one. You're vested, yeah. I can't promise you an entire season contract. I'm sorry, even if we got to miss a couple kicks here in week one, I cannot be committing this amount of money to you every single week. Comes back week two. Welcome back.
Starting point is 01:16:23 We appreciate you. Thank you so much. It's like the vet men contracts too like they got raised right but instead of vets making more money they just cut more vets and hung on to more rookies yeah rookies made it quarterbacks got paid yeah it's crazy how it all works out it's a business though and i like kittle going to bat for debo haven't chatted to him in over a year hasn't't had a fight since December 21st, 2021. All the way back in the game, an absolute stallion. A man who's undefeated in this weekend.
Starting point is 01:16:53 He will beat another man quickly in an epic way. Ladies and gentlemen, future of the company, the current of the UFC, Shugashan O'Malley. Yeah! Let's go on! How are you, Bob? We getting a little zen situation going? A little manifestation happening, Sugar? Oh, shit, Pat.
Starting point is 01:17:12 Didn't even know you were calling. I was just meditating, brother. Oh, you were manifesting in that moment. What are we meditating about? What are we manifesting? Are we trying to lose weight right now? Yeah, we're getting there. You know, weigh-ins are Friday. What day is it? Wednesday. Got a couple more pounds to cut, but're getting there. You know, weigh-ins are Friday.
Starting point is 01:17:25 What day is it? Wednesday. Got a couple more pounds to cut, but in good spirit. How do you feel, Sean? We haven't talked to you in a while. It looks like from afar you've been enjoying your life. It's been a while since you've had a fight. Are you excited to get back in there?
Starting point is 01:17:37 Yeah, I'm super excited. Last fight I fractured my thumb, so I had to let that bad boy heal up. And, you know, it's it's been going everything's been going so perfect and uh you know i think it's it just adds up to another beautiful performance saturday night you mentioned that thumb like are you how long did it take before you felt pretty confident throwing that thing um i it wasn't a bad fracture it was like a it was a just a little fracture had a cast on for like eight weeks took it off and completely like forgot about it it feels 100 well how long have you known you're
Starting point is 01:18:11 gonna fight pedro munia munia munios and when are you going to the top when are we having sugar sean main event this thing we we tried to ask dana the other day when he was on and he kind of you know he has to do that because business purposes. Are you early in the card? Are you late in the card? And when do we get the Sugar Sean experience where you're the headline? Because we know the arena is going to go fucking berserk when you walk out there. They go fucking berserk when I walk out.
Starting point is 01:18:40 I open up the main card, 7 p.m. I fight. That's kind of where I've been at for the last couple fights. I've asked the UFC, hey, can I open up the main card? That's what I like to do. I go knock them out, do an hour of media, and then I get to watch the co-main event. I've told the UFC I'm ready to main event a card when I'm going to get paid a million dollars. I think we're a couple fights away from that. I think UFC and I are great business partners. We work really well together, and we're on the same path. So I've got to go out there, finish Pedro,
Starting point is 01:19:12 maybe go out there and knock one more person out, and then we're main eventing. But honestly, I could main event a card right now by myself. So it's just kind of, you know, it's all part of the game, and it's all, you know, I just trust in the process. UFC knows what they're doing, and I just got to go out there and win fights. Dana, very complimentary of you when we chatted about him. It's nice to hear that your partnership alongside of him is also a good one on the up and up.
Starting point is 01:19:35 And hearing you say that, by the way, vastly different than what most fighters say about their relationship whenever they're done. You're in the middle of an epic run right now, and not just epic. I was going through your last fights because I'm like when the fuck did this guy fight last i was trying to look it up and it's december 11th 2021 and it's ko tko round one 442 then your last fight before that remember you broke both your hands because you punched a guy in the face so many times yeah ko tko your fight before that ko tko introduced to you, KOTKO, with an incredible promo afterwards, and you've actually alluded to putting on a beautiful performance,
Starting point is 01:20:10 not only in this conversation, but in the past. Is it just your extreme confidence? Is that why you're able to do this? Because some other guys, they get in there, and it looks like they're super locked in, super zoned in. You're so casual about it. Have you always been like that, and what do you attribute that to, you think? Yeah, I think even looking back when I was, you know, 16, 17, doing kickboxing matches, I had a similar style. And it was just, you know, the only thing I could really say
Starting point is 01:20:35 that would make sense to people is just being in a flow state. I don't feel like I just really feel like I'm in there performing. I'm not thinking about anything. I'm just in there performing. and it's where I belong. I love being in there, and I love the preparation for fights. It's been a long, really 12 weeks since I've known I had this fight, and it's been a very disciplined 12 weeks. So for me, Saturday, July 2nd, I get to go in there
Starting point is 01:21:01 and just show the world what I've been working on and how disciplined and dedicated I've been to this fight. So for me, it's just about going in there and having fun. I just, you know, I really, really enjoy performing in front of millions of people in T-Mobile Arena. So I think it's just I just go in there, flow, and just do what I know I'm capable of doing. It's honestly hard not to be confident. I try not to be confident. It's hard.
Starting point is 01:21:26 I knock so many people out in my life. It's really hard not to be confident. So I try to stay humble, but, Pat, it's hard. Yeah, I can see it. Did you always have that? Was it like that from the jump when you started fighting? I look back on 16, 11 years ago when I started fighting. I don't remember kind of where my mind was at,
Starting point is 01:21:46 but I remember I was knocking people out pretty early on, like when I was 16, 17. Hey, were you scared? Do you remember being scared in your first couple fights or no? I remember thinking like my later amateur career, not so much my pro career, but later in my amateur career, I had 14 fights. I'm like, why do I do this?
Starting point is 01:22:03 I do not like this feeling standing in the back in in my in Great Falls Montana or standing in the back being like I don't have to feel this feeling if I don't book a fight it's so it was such a I didn't like that feeling I wanted to just get in the in the cage and just black out kind of just because I kept winning so they could just black out but then I just kind of learned how to enjoy that, and you never know how many more fights you're going to get. You don't know how many more fight weeks you're going to get. So I'm really just enjoying all of this, because in 10 years from now, I'm not going to be able to do this.
Starting point is 01:22:37 And that kind of sucks. I just think about not being able to perform like how I am right now. It is kind of scary, but going into a fight, I'm definitely not scared or nervous. What's the normal fight week? You said you got a 12-week camp here you've known for a long time. Is this the longest? What's normal? And have you added anything to your training differently than what you've done in the past?
Starting point is 01:23:00 Everyone's different. You know, some guys get short notice fights, three weeks, two weeks, four weeks. I don't know. everyone's different. You know, some guys get short notice fights three weeks, two weeks, four weeks. I, I have, I don't know, but I think I've been lucky enough to where I've always had like a full six, seven, eight week camp.
Starting point is 01:23:10 Um, I wanted to fight Pedro in Phoenix with like six weeks ago, but he was for whatever reason, either injured or scared, not scared. I'm just kidding. But, uh,
Starting point is 01:23:18 he didn't fight then. So I've known about this fight for a long time. Uh, I don't even remember what your question was. Have you added anything to your training for being 12 weeks as opposed to six? Or is it the same camp, just longer? Same camp, just disciplined diet. Same training.
Starting point is 01:23:33 Thank you. Shout out. Same guys, same group, same team around me. You know, if it's not broke, don't fix it. Haven't lost yet. So continuing to do what I do. So you beat the fuck out of Timbo there. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:47 Fucking cracked him on his jaw when he was holding mitts. That broke his tooth. What's that about? You missed the mitt or he was holding it wrong? I'm just so fast. It happens. You feel good, huh? Is this the best you've felt going into a fight?
Starting point is 01:24:00 I'd say probably. I feel this is the fastest I've ever felt, for sure. Most confident I've ever been. My skills definitely haven't gotten worse in the last couple years. I've improved in between each fight camp. My weight's perfect. It's right on where it's supposed to be. Yeah, faster than ever.
Starting point is 01:24:22 So yeah, 100%, this is probably the best I've ever felt going into a fight. Where are you at right now? You're in the middle of a weight cut. Do you have any other shit going on? yeah faster than ever so yeah 100 this is probably the best i've ever felt going into a fight where are you at right now you're in the middle of a weight cut do you have any other shit going on how many weight how many pounds do you have to lose here in the next two days that we should look out for probably about 10 11 pounds uh i still have to cut and then today is media all day yesterday was you know a bunch of business calls and media day and media stuff too uh today is a full day of media for the next probably four or five hours. We got media, taking pictures, doing stuff like that. And then I still have to go work out later this afternoon.
Starting point is 01:24:53 So super busy Wednesday, pretty busy Thursday. And then Friday all we got to do is weigh in. And then we got the weigh-ins in the afternoon, which I really look forward to because I got to look at Pedro and size them up. Will you try to look through his soul? If I can, he's fucking five, six,
Starting point is 01:25:10 I'm five 17. So I can look. Six, five in this motherfucker. Go ahead. I'm going to try to look at his eyes, but I don't know. We'll see how far I get my neck down.
Starting point is 01:25:22 Don't hurt. Hey, don't strain your neck. You feel good. Yeah. Sean, obviously you don't know if you're going to, you know, break your hands on somebody's face like against Moutinho. But do you, like, ever have an idea of how many times you want to fight during a year?
Starting point is 01:25:34 Like, is it usually two, like a July and then December? Or have you thought about squeezing in maybe three fights a year? Usually I've been fighting on average that well depends last year i think i fought three times march june and december um this year i had that fractured thumb so i wasn't able to fight at the beginning of the year so we're only getting two in this year it's so hard to say you just don't know how you know the fight's gonna play out so ideally you know two would be two would be good three would be good but as long be good. But as long as I can get, well, one would not be enough. So two, three a year seems like a perfect number.
Starting point is 01:26:12 You getting that off yet? Huh? Did you get that Oculus and do any of that boxing game that I did? I did get that Oculus actually a pretty good little workout. It isn't that bad. I was, it made me more impressed by what you were able to do in there. Here we go. Okay. So do you think that'll carry over if I ever get into the celebrity boxing in like five years from now? Do you think the AUC will carry over into real life?
Starting point is 01:26:31 I think if you solely trained on the AUC list, did a full six-week fight camp in that thing, you'd be 100% prepared mentally, physically, emotionally, and it wouldn't feel any different. Boom. Boom. Feels like you're maybe lying to me but my confidence just went through the fucking roof eat shit aj yeah fuck off aj go ahead
Starting point is 01:26:50 so you talked about uh leading off the main event um and you talked about watching the the co-main event fights um after you knock him out like is is being in vegas like are you gonna go out and party you're gonna go out and party? Are you going to go out and eat? What's your after-win routine? Yeah, right after I knock him out, I'll go get my check and then do a bunch of stuff. Spend it. Hour. Probably head back to the hotel, shower up, throw on an outfit.
Starting point is 01:27:20 My princess, she's one and a half, is going to be at the hotel. She'll be sleeping at that time. So I'll probably go and stumble in there after a shot, a couple of shots of tequila, give her a couple of kisses, tell her daddy did it. Uh, and then Zouk after parties at a resorts world at Zouk. That's where I'm having the after party. And, uh, it's going to be a good night. So we'll see.
Starting point is 01:27:40 Ideally, I watched them co-main and main event, but sometimes I just get so excited and just start running around Doing shit How is the resort world Nice place Fucking beautiful I love it They've always taken care of me
Starting point is 01:27:51 You know We went to the Red Rock Where the UFC official Our hotel was And it just sucked So So far Huh
Starting point is 01:28:01 Red Rock's far Yeah The room sucked So I hit up my boys at Resorts World and said yo take care of my team and throw us on a suite and it's just so much more comfortable there so yeah Resorts World is definitely hooking it up for me
Starting point is 01:28:14 that's very nice I tried to get a room this weekend they said you have to be on a VIP list to get the suite you were asking for sir I was like okay who do we have to call to get on VIP you won't be able to get on a VIP suite sorry about it won't be a suite get on a VIP suite. Sorry about it. And they hung up. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:28:26 I got a suite for you. It won't be a suite, but I can get a room for you. Saturday, Sunday, let me know, Pat. I need a suite, dude. I'm fucking rich now. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Obviously, you're a big-time advocate of smoking, and you're a smoker, and we love that.
Starting point is 01:28:44 Do you take that off for the fight camp and then do you jump back in immediately afterwards yeah three weeks i'll pretty much be three weeks sober uh can you tell in my eyes yeah actually wow yeah look at that pretty big you got some big fucking eyes that's a nice fucking fish big fucking eyes right there yeah you got good eyes there. Three weeks, huh? About three weeks, I'll be completely, yes, over. And you always feel really good taking a break. And, you know, it reminds me to, you know, I can go back and use marijuana and enjoy it more after by taking a break.
Starting point is 01:29:17 But usually, yeah, Saturday night. I don't really like being drunk and high at the same time. Not my favorite combo. Agreed. So I usually get pretty buzzed up with the boys. You know, I'm a happy dad, so I'll go get buzzed up with the boys. Do you still spar? I know different people talk about, like, they may spar a little bit less as they get older.
Starting point is 01:29:38 I don't know. Some people may not do it at all. Like, what are you with that? I only spar in camp. So I started sparring when I was eight weeks out from this fight, and I'll just gradually get into it. I'll do one round on Saturday, one round on Wednesday, one round on Saturday, one on Wednesday,
Starting point is 01:29:52 then two, and then two, and then three, and then three, and gradually up the rounds until I'm doing three five-minute rounds with a fresh partner each round. But outside of camp, yeah, I quit sparring a couple years ago. It's just not worth it too many too many the head my head is obviously beautiful of course and uh and i'm so smart i want to continue to be so smart of course who laughed a lot of people well that's connor he's a dumbass too though i mean do you wear a helmet for that? Helmet, full pads for your sparring? Or are they trying to hit you, like actual fights?
Starting point is 01:30:30 How does that play out? It's tough because, obviously, you want to take care of your training partners. But it's also like you get smoked. You want to smoke them back. But, ideally, you have training partners you can really trust. You wear the puffy gloves shin pads some people wear headgear I never really wear headgear headgear I feel like I get hit more with it just cuz it's thicker okay miss yeah and you're
Starting point is 01:30:55 supposed to for cuts and stuff but yeah you don't want to knock your opponent or your sparring partners out you want to take care of them they're your friends they're trying to help you get ready for a fight so you knocking them out doesn't do anything but uh yeah we try to take care of each other what's next business-wise outside of the cage and you're always you got a great brain you just alluded to it we all understand it the podcast is fantastic obviously the content is great what's next for you think outside the the cage are you just focused on doing what you're doing right now for a little bit yeah i mean since the all all the works already been put in for the fight. So now, you know, fight week, a lot of, a lot of deals are coming around.
Starting point is 01:31:33 I'm sure you're familiar with happy dad, the Nelk boys, doing some good things with them. Hey, those motherfuckers, I know you're friends with them over there. They're fucking geniuses, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they are. Yeah. I know you're friends with them over there. They're fucking geniuses, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they are. Yeah, I'm excited. We got some big things that we're going to announce soon with them. Fucking love those guys.
Starting point is 01:31:53 They're going to be there front row at the fight. They're going to be at the after party too, celebrating. So, yeah, big things coming.

Starting point is 01:32:30 You feel good about yourself? You're getting quoted in articles about what you said about Carson Wentz yesterday. Did you see this? That's true. Did you see this, AJ? No, he was quoted? Yeah. That was true.
Starting point is 01:32:40 He has to be the worst looking quarterback in an NFL uniform ever or something. Quote, Pat McAfee show and then small co-host. That was true. He has to be the worst-looking quarterback in an NFL uniform ever or something. Quote, Pat McAfee show and then small co-host. So I'm getting, yeah. I don't think there's been a worst-looking quarterback in a uniform before. Pat McAfee show, co-host reacts. Look, so I'm getting tweets like, somebody tweeted me this morning, Jim Irsay, gotta be pairing Pat McAfee to Barry Carson once every time he gets. So I'm like, why are people saying
Starting point is 01:33:05 that? And then it's, oh, because what's coming out of your mouth is being directly linked to me, which I understand because this is my program. This is our platform. I'm on here. The show is named after me. But I would like to think that we are a melting pot of ideas. And some ideas and opinions come from doofuses from Massachusetts.
Starting point is 01:33:22 And I would like him to get credit for that. Yeah, I was the only one that said that. I don't know why you had to be thrown into that at all. And it's the same thing with when that little fucker called from Connecticut. Well, do you know? Yeah. Do you not have in your Twitter profile that your thoughts and opinions don't reflect the show?
Starting point is 01:33:37 Yeah, let me check it, actually. No, it doesn't say that. Oh, then that's why. Are you serious? Yeah, I'm serious. It doesn't say that. Look at it. It says, The mcfee
Starting point is 01:33:45 show monday through friday at noon on youtube the pod on wednesdays hammered down monday through friday indianapolis indiana not a single no hey whenever i bury carson wentz it's not necessarily pat or the entire city of indiana no we are not uh endorsement right that too yeah that's a lie you're lying when you put that on here we know know what you're doing. Yeah, but the photo is just me. So I think whenever the tweet goes out, it's just me with the photo. So it's like, oh, okay. It's that guy saying it. See?
Starting point is 01:34:12 But your fucking, your head thing is. The header. What is it? That's from two years ago. Yeah. I haven't gotten a new one. We have sent numerous updates. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:23 Can I get one of those? Yeah, please. They've been sent into the group numerous times. Numerous times. Numerous. I don't know. Yeah, just because you guys are scanning through looking for Lambda and fucking Fleshlight jokes in there. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:34:37 Who else has one that isn't that one? I do. Foxy does. I do. I believe Zito does. Wood, if you could. Of all the things Connor says, why would they choose that? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:34:46 It's because Carson Wentz is the new starting quarterback in Washington, which is a pretty big market and a pretty big fan base that doesn't know him yet, so they're going to bat for him just like I was going to bat for him when he came to Indianapolis last year. I actually got a text from Wale. Why are you doing that to Carson, man? Oh, sorry. Sorry about it.
Starting point is 01:35:03 So let's get to a break. It wasn't me Wally yeah geez dude New England versus everybody it's always been like that yeah but now your shit is getting I'm getting but you know what I'll stand by it this program is for everybody speaking their their truths even if it's going to get us in Denmark tabloids uh-huh even if it's gonna you know do whatever i'd like i'm i'm cool with open conversation okay unless you're an ai it's for humans only no no no if you want to give us some bets we'd like that lambda try and take every dollar from phantom hey lambda listen up we just need one better week for the football season correct the code and the nfl season begins in
Starting point is 01:35:43 71 days. Lamb already knew that. I saw the clip while I was going out to get a little sip of coffee or something that we put out. Shout out Gump, by the way. And the tweet just says, this show stinks.
Starting point is 01:36:00 And then it is a two-minute clip of me doing three fake magic tricks. And then it ends with Chris Angel doing abs holding the money in the bank thing with Ezekiel climbing and going for the case. You'll never get this. This show. I blame Schrags.
Starting point is 01:36:16 He really started us off terribly. What do you do? He says he's on Corbin's side. He's like you. He's trying to play your game. He's ball washing. I know, but every person in the past you have oh he's a good guy i met adam cole and his buds cool these guys are very nice they were not no no they were rude they were playing i don't care i mean i know you have a program running with corbin i don't care about that i'm waiting for the secondary program where vince runs out you get to rematch that guy you
Starting point is 01:36:43 need to get a victory over him now listen that was not a sanctioned match that was just an exhibition so oh it's a friendly like soccer well it was like soccer because we're physical in there do you see what he fucking did to me oh i saw what he did punch the ball 85 miles an hour into your ribs you gotta collapse lungs still don't you i can't wait to tell the story of all of that 30 years from now. Cannot wait. You know, when I feel like it's the right time. I don't like that about the wrestling business nowadays. What part?
Starting point is 01:37:13 Let's go for shoot here. Like, hey, you're in the business. Like, let's be respectful for the business. You know what I mean? Like, obviously, there's people that have opinions and ideas on how the business goes but they don't fucking need to know you know people don't need to know that the pencil was behind my ear there
Starting point is 01:37:31 you know if they believe that I did like you know like I just think there should be a time limit for that type of shit to happen as opposed to like boom right now boom right now boom right now you know what I mean like I think there's stages of when stuff should come out and the rest. This is just my opinion.
Starting point is 01:37:47 I'm a fucking stooge. I've been a fan forever. But personally, I feel that. I feel that that is the case. Yeah, I mean, is it worse now than before, though? Like is more stuff getting out all the time? I mean, obviously, the internet and social media changes that, but are actual wrestlers putting out stuff they shouldn't put out?
Starting point is 01:38:02 Not everybody. I think there's a lot of people that feel the same way I do, but there is some that get out and just start, like, actual wrestlers putting out stuff they shouldn't put out? Not everybody. I think there's a lot of people that feel the same way I do, but there is some that get out and just start, like, the pop that you're about to get, we understand, but, like, everybody in the history of the business could have done that at any moment. You mean once they're out of the WWE? No.
Starting point is 01:38:16 Yeah. Yeah. You can't really do that while you're in, can you? I think people were. Depends who you are. I know you can afford to be, right? I think people were, and then maybe not so much anymore. I'm not sure, but I just don't like as soon as something happens,
Starting point is 01:38:29 and then I'm like, everybody relax, dude. Yeah, hold on to it for a while. It's a fucking business, dude. Let's have a little respect to both. And also, later, you're going to need some shit, bro. Yeah, I think that goes with everything, even our business. I'm not going to tell a story that's happened behind the scenes here until later on because it's pretty epic,
Starting point is 01:38:44 and I do it now just for a pop. and who knows how it's going to and by the way if you were to tell said story would do well yeah exactly which i understand why you would want to but also like much better later on yeah it's like wine you know what i mean aj yeah of course man what's the saying can't put the toothpaste back into the tube? Yep. That, too. Something comes to those who wait. Grass is always greener.
Starting point is 01:39:10 Yeah. I mean, patience is a virtue. Grass is not always greener. That's definitely something people need to realize. It never is. Isn't that the whole point? Yeah, it's actually used in that fashion, I think, now. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:21 Hasn't rained in a month. The devil you know. Hasn't rained in a month. the devil you know hasn't rained in a month the grass is greener where you water it to your point yeah i'd like to know how aj knew i was getting landscaping work done that was creepy yeah nick hamda i got eyes on you good point all right that's fair no i think nick you talked about it or you were put videos out months ago of you doing some work in the backyard or something his backyard is a paradise sweet you got the pool right i do a pool that means a lot coming from you whose backyard is mount olympus now it is pretty awesome but the your backyard is
Starting point is 01:39:59 he's got a chipping area a putting area a, a pool, big space for a wall, a couple of bunnies for him to fucking chase and snap their necks. Yeah. There's a little sunroom. You're doing it, dude. We just got the pool heater too, boys. Need to get a roof closer to the pool. Working on it. Take a jump off.
Starting point is 01:40:15 Need to jump off. Need to jump off. Oh. Into the pool, yeah. I mean, what are we doing or not? Put a high dive up. Yeah, that'd be cool. Oh, like the Red Bull, that dive?
Starting point is 01:40:24 Yeah, yeah yeah so add something on your house that is just a plank that go a ladder that goes straight up like another 30 40 feet and then put a platform up there yes you could do the guten tag yeah flute talk no the flute talk is the rocket the red the the things red bull has the death diving thing oh yeah when all the divers at the bottom splash so that they can see where they're landing. Yeah, when they jump off the cliffs. All the people with tanks on, they splash. That's pretty cool.
Starting point is 01:40:52 It's fucking absurd. They'll go off like 100, 120 foot cliffs. Oh yeah. No thanks. Doing flips and twists and everything. They gotta be on drugs, right? Those people gotta be on drugs? They gotta have drugs in their system? Fear the electronic. Yeah, it's the fear thing. That's what those people are doing.
Starting point is 01:41:07 They don't have it. You catch me in my... The amygdala. There it is. There it is. Can you just remove that? Can you go in and take it out? You'll have unwanted consequences.
Starting point is 01:41:18 Like what? It's like when you go back in time, huh? You go back in time. Butterfly effect. You catch me early 20s though pretty tuned up boozed up oh yes you could have probably got me to jump off one of those things but like how high though i mean there's a big difference between like 50 feet and 150 feet i agree in pittsburgh though there was like a 50 foot pier or whatever into the river that we would jump off of in pitch black i mean that was stupid. But I guess the pitch black helped because you couldn't really.
Starting point is 01:41:47 Yeah. You had no idea what was coming. I think you still would if the right person challenged you. If we're getting on content and I know I won't. Depends how close to the mountain. It depends if you could really feel confident about jumping out and getting away from the wall, too, I think. If it's like a close call, okay, you better get a good push
Starting point is 01:42:03 or you're going to come right back and smack this wall. Yeah, how much is on the line, I guess. If it's like a close call, okay, you better get a good push or you're going to come right back and smack this wall. Yeah, how much is on the line, I guess? The second part's a big one, what you said. I won't die? Mm-hmm. Yeah, if I have pretty good confidence, I'm not going to die. I'll do just – Well, you got that ear, though.
Starting point is 01:42:14 You got that eardrum. You can't do it. I'll certainly hold it. Yeah, of course. Good luck when you lose control in midair, though. No, body control is the whole thing. You know what I mean? That's why I'd probably, I'd probably swan
Starting point is 01:42:25 town bomb beanie in there. Yeah. Can we, uh, can we move the high dive to your lake? The lady just shut it down at the house. What's her deal? What's the deal? That's stupid. AJ will pay for the insurance. Yeah. I don't think we need
Starting point is 01:42:41 insurance. Maybe just a, a nurse or a lifeguard. I'll be a lifeguard. Definitely don't tell your insurance. There's a shortage on lifeguards right now. Someone gets hurt. Take that. Shortage on pilots right now, I guess, too. Shorts on everything.
Starting point is 01:42:53 Oh, yeah. Definitely a shortage on pilots. Is that why this whole thing's happening where people are getting delayed 11 to 12? I saw Harbaugh was in an airport for 11 hours yesterday. I'm sure it's part of it. Yeah. He's got a new deal in Michigan. He's not flying private.
Starting point is 01:43:04 What the fuck is going on? I'm sure he has hours built into his Yeah. He's got a new deal in Michigan. He's not flying private. What the fuck is going on? I'm sure he has hours built into his contract. He was sleeping in the airport. I seen it on a tick tock today. It's recruiting. You know, it's a recruiting tool. 15 passports. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:15 Why do you have so many passports? You say it's for gays, AJ? You say it's contact? He's probably traveling. No, no. And the dad has to hold the passports for the family. Yeah. And he seems like a guy that would hold all the stuff for the family. But even more so, why are we flying?
Starting point is 01:43:26 AJ, how many hours do you get to the airport before your family travels? Seven? Eight? No, we try to cut it as close as we possibly can. Why? Dude, I love that. Tim McAfee was trying to get me there as a kid. We had to travel a couple times via plane.
Starting point is 01:43:38 It was like a big deal. Tim McAfee read somewhere, right? Oh, got to be there three and a half hours beforehand. I'm fucking spending my whole life sitting. I don't want to fly anywhere ever again. This is just like driving. I'm just fucking sitting here, the whole thing. But that nowadays, I guess that is,
Starting point is 01:43:53 you're going to be at the airport. Oh yeah. A long time regardless. And they won't tell you until like four minutes before scheduled takeoff, I guess. Why is that? And how is it continued for this long? Is there no like adapting or changing like have to book fewer flights as opposed to just overbooking
Starting point is 01:44:09 every single flight they don't care they're still getting their money so yeah feels like they're just booking the same flights and then they're hoping that one flight is at the airport in time for those pilots to switch to the next flight well they'll have uh stewardess and stuff like that not show up and then you're not allowed to fly if you don't have a certain amount of stewardess and stuff like that. So then the flight will get canceled. Well, a lot of the toilet breaks. Well, one stewardess sleeps in. The whole flight gets canceled. They can't find
Starting point is 01:44:34 a replacement. That's what's up. It's delayed an hour. There's a chain of events. Sunday, there was 700 canceled flights. 700 in the United States of America. Now, that tells you how many flights are taking off every single fucking day. So when you hop on a plane, you should feel much more comfortable than you probably do because of what you heard whenever you were a kid. There's thousands.
Starting point is 01:44:51 I think it's like 4,400 or 44,000. I forget what the number was. I watched this. It was on air travel. 4,400 flights a day, maybe? 5,600 passenger flights daily. There it is. Daily.
Starting point is 01:45:06 So 4,400. U.S. commercial flight carriers. The Friday before Father's Day, Matt thought we were talking about 20% of those flights were canceled. Yep. 20%. My son!
Starting point is 01:45:15 Colin couldn't even make it. It's 1100. I guess Delta's really having an issue. Yeah. Delta's booking as if they have no, like, workforce problems. Well, and they brought back some of their flights that they had to get rid of during COVID. Like, they brought back kind of their regular schedule, and because of that.
Starting point is 01:45:32 Yeah, they're booking as if they don't have a workforce problem. It's ridiculous. Yeah, they're just like, yeah. I went to Chicago, was it last week, for that golf deal with Walgreens, and that was my first time in a while in the airport, and it felt like it was just direct to Chicago and back. So I didn't have any issues luckily, but it felt good to see an airport.
Starting point is 01:45:49 Like the airport's actually open. I hated going through any airport during COVID when it just felt like dead. It was depressing. I walked through Detroit a few times during the heat of it. It was terrible. There's nobody there. It's a good airport. Hey,
Starting point is 01:46:02 nothing was open either. Detroit airport's very nice airport, but that is a little fountains. You know, you walk by those fountains shooting the water yeah how about the how about the roof light thing oh like the psychedelic tunnels yeah did they have that on or off uh that was on yeah but i was like by myself i'm walking through it solo oh shit you're really tripping there then because they have birds whistle too whenever you get past one part into the next part you turn around there's like a little bush there or something it's like people pop out from the ceiling every once in a while like a haunted walk i've never experienced that i feel like i've flown through detroit a lot only a few times i have see this is from the other day what not sure
Starting point is 01:46:41 you said that you know yeah i know it. I said it because it was true. See? It happens with us dry monotone guys. And that's on us, AJ. We got to learn to flip our voice a little bit when you're saying something that's not serious. Maybe I am serious. You're not. You don't.
Starting point is 01:47:00 Honestly, I might. No humans popped out of the sky at the Detroit airport to scare you. Not the sky, the ceiling. They pop up. Ooh, maybe it was Halloween time. Maybe it was a special thing. Yeah, but that is painted like the sky, isn't it? That whole thing?
Starting point is 01:47:11 Yeah, but it's a drop ceiling, so they could pop out all over the place. They could. So they have. It can't be 100%. You just added yourself. So you actually, as you're on that escalator, you thought to yourself, drop ceiling. They could have a guy just pop down right here. That's what happened?
Starting point is 01:47:23 I can't wait. I used to travel through there a lot. Yeah, I love that. Great airport. One of the best things Detroit has, right? Nicest thing in the city. Yeah, for sure. City's pretty nice now, everyone is telling me.
Starting point is 01:47:32 They're not happy with how we portray Detroit on this show. What would you know about it? Sure, buddy. That's what I'm saying. I don't know. Hey, let's go to Logan in Michigan. What's going on, Logan? Hey, boys.
Starting point is 01:47:44 How we doing? You in Detroit? Keep it moving. Sorry about it. You did great there to start the thing. We kind of derailed you. Are you in Detroit? Where are you in Michigan? Western Michigan, where all the yumps are? UP, where, you know, Canada is? Northern. I'm way up north by Saginaw Bay.
Starting point is 01:47:59 Summertime in Michigan. Summertime. We appreciate you, Logan. What do you want to talk about, brother? Hey, just wanted to shout out for the brand, especially because they had 15% off those shirts. But I don't want to bum you guys out, but I did have to put my dog down today.
Starting point is 01:48:22 But luckily for me, he had no cancer problems through his life. So I'm going to contribute back to the brand by buying a ticket for the next, for the brand event, August 27th. Logan, we appreciate the help. Sorry you had to do that with your dog. I'm sure you will celebrate the good times and the love that you guys had together. That is obviously the worst part of it all, especially with a living, breathing creature. You know, Valerie, our dog, half Pitbull, half Sharpay,
Starting point is 01:48:50 she ended up getting cancer a few years back, and we wanted to obviously, this is the first dog that I've really connected with, and Sam introduced this dog to my life. She saved it from the pen or whatever, you know and uh the dog knows that you know like she's she was adopted valerie knows that she has the tattoo the stripe that hey like one more week she was probably going to get put down sam adopts her she's very thankful i love this dog i fucking love valerie she's the first dog that has you know got me uh like hooked emotional wise so a couple years back whenever she got
Starting point is 01:49:25 cancer for the first time, it was devastating. I was very scared. And then they're like, Hey, here's a procedure that can happen. And, uh, this is how much it costs. And they told us it was like a couple thousand bucks. I'm like, Holy fuck, that is so much money. And I had to think back to like my mom and dad, uh, whenever I was growing up, if this was to happen to a dog that we had had, there's no fucking shot that that would happen. There's no chance that they'd be able to spend that money. Sam, her mom and dad, same exact situation. So Sam started Further Brand to basically help people pay for cancer treatments to extend happiness with their families and for dogs.
Starting point is 01:49:58 55 different dogs across like 30 states she's already helped, and she's just getting going. She had a news. She was on the fucking news yesterday. I saw you post something. I was so proud of her, man, on the news, doing her thing. Uh, it's really, really cool. And I feel like she's getting true fulfillment out of it, but there's a lot of sad dog stories that are coming through too. And it's like, Oh, that'll weigh you down. That's heavy shit. You know what I mean? Oh yeah. We go look at dogs all the time over at the pound and take our kids there. And it's hard not to take like 15 home every single time we go.
Starting point is 01:50:27 So, yeah, it's cool, man. Everyone. I mean, I would assume some people aren't dog people, but everyone, I would assume, has like enjoyed being around a dog at some point in their life. Right. You would hope there are some people that don't like dogs, though. And then, you know, I never didn't like dogs. Always liked dogs. Just never had like a like uh oh i'm obsessed with dogs
Starting point is 01:50:45 you know like or i had a dog always very busy never really in the house i'm out and running so my parents had dogs but it wasn't like uh a super connection but all the super dog people say that if you don't like dogs like well we just learned a lot about like we learned a lot about you i don't know how you couldn't you know i honestly don't. They think you're a serial killer if you don't like dogs. Yeah, absolutely. What is Bill's stance? He has six cats. No dogs.
Starting point is 01:51:11 Are you serious? Yes. Yep. Okay. Wish I was joking. I should not have asked. Wish. Love you, Bill.
Starting point is 01:51:21 Wish we were joking. Six cats? Okay. What was that? What was that okay all about my might be seven I was hoping tone was joking Oh, well now we'll wait for bill to catch up to the show with his 30-second delay and come answer for himself Black smoke is building Lot a lot man. That's tough It's a lot of. Does he have like a litter box all over him?
Starting point is 01:51:46 There he is. He has a roast. They piss over everything. You have no dogs, Bill? No dogs, no. Not a dog guy? I am a dog guy, actually. I've had dogs my entire life.
Starting point is 01:51:55 Actually, I've been allergic to cats my entire life. Okay, now you have how many? Six cats. Six cats. AJ thinks that's a problem. Is that you? No, no. AJ's not the only person that thinks that's a problem.
Starting point is 01:52:05 But, you know, it's kind of one of those things you just get subjected to eventually. Yeah. I have four cats. And four cats. You have other animals, too, though. It's different when you have other animals. Four cats, two dogs. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:52:15 Watch me. Twelve raccoons. Possum. Oh, those things are dead at the other house. Way dead. Way, way dead. Oh, yeah. Nail gun.
Starting point is 01:52:22 Right in the fucking head. Sick of that shit. I'm tired of building around these things. Poisoned Froot Loops. Last night, none of that happened. Nobody. Last night, there was like four families of Canadian geese, though, down by our dock where Sam puts out a... Get them out of there.
Starting point is 01:52:38 They're going to poop all over us. Those are the worst. Yeah. Yeah, they're the terrorists of the sky. You got to send your dogs down to run them off. So that is the thing. Chuck will go after the geese. I do not think he'll go after the ducks,
Starting point is 01:52:49 but they might have had his ass flanked last night. We're talking mom, dad, Canadian geese terrorist, four kid Canadian geese terrorist, mom, dad, Canadian geese terrorist. Like, they had eight out there. They stopped traffic the other day on the way home. There were 30 of them. They had a cop driving behind them in the left lane. Yep, they stopped traffic the other day on the way home. I see that 30 of them They had a cop. Yeah, I'm behind him in the left lane. Yep. Yeah marched across the street

They can fly to and they don't care cocky some took their time It's Canadian geese man Fuck you know back in the day in it weird that people well people definitely still do it wherever different parts of the world in This country, but when they would put a dog down the old dad would take him out in the back and shoot him oh yeah that's what they used to do that's wild people still do that i think send them to the farm farms for sure yeah and of mice and men let's go to georgia in missouri good literary reference love you lenny the rabbits lenny was was a big guy yeah and then there's a little one George there was a tree I recall right in the tree yeah a house
Starting point is 01:53:53 George put him down right I think it's been a while somebody's riding on somebody else's shoulders at one point probably. I think Lenny had some shoulder. Yeah, he was big and strong, but George couldn't, you know, make it without him. Yeah, down at the riverbed. This was a high school book, right? Had to read it?
Starting point is 01:54:13 Yeah. So literally all those books he had to read in high school, my only versions of them is the conversation that people had before each chapter that we had to talk about. So I just have to try
Starting point is 01:54:22 to piece those things together. There's a movie. Yeah, with George Clooney. Is it Clooney? I thought, oh, is it Malkovich? Is he you, Lenny? Malkovich. Malkovich. Phenomenal role. Yeah. Let's go to Georgia

Starting point is 01:55:22 that the thing that me and Foxy saw is literally the exact same thing that's been seen in Houston, San Diego, and over the air? Oh, gee. You all right? Why don't we send a plane up there? Send a drone up there and see what these are if they're there for an hour. That would be a suicide mission. George, I think she just got, I think her phone just shot out. But me and Foxy saw these things.
Starting point is 01:55:48 Yep. That is sweet. Sweet. I believe that you saw it. I filmed it, Tony. What is that about? Foxy, I filmed it, Tony. Camera work was a little shaky.
Starting point is 01:56:02 No, so Foxy and I, the one we saw. There's got to be closer video. There has to be somebody closer filming. Yeah, there's numerous videos from this last night. Numerous. A lot of people talking about, hey, this has been here for an hour, this has been here for an hour. How about right underneath that? Well, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:56:15 Hopefully. I think it was out on the water, though. San Diego, right? Yeah. It's a beach town. I think it was out there. Okay. And it could have been.
Starting point is 01:56:21 This could be a bunch of drones, by the way. It just hovered for an hour or whatever for no reason. Nobody knew about it. But I don't think that has been announced to anybody. But everything that we have seen since then, me and Foxy saw, they look exactly what me and Foxy saw. And you all laughed us out. We're the fucking first ones.
Starting point is 01:56:37 How? How about it, AJ? I'm not laughing at you. I just want to. It's a moon. I need to see more. It's a moon. It's a moon. It's a moon. I need to see more. I'm sick of seeing this. It's a moon. It's a moon.
Starting point is 01:56:45 This doesn't do anything for me. I need more. I need more info. We all want to see an alien agent, but it's not going to happen. Trot them out. All right, well, then good. I'm not going to act like it's changing the world every time one of these videos pops up and we say, oh, this is from seven years ago.
Starting point is 01:56:56 Show yourselves. Yeah, I feel like we're close, though, because they don't care if they get spotted anymore. They're close to being like, fuck it. And I believe that's why the government's like, hey, we need to give a heads up because these people are getting a little bit more aggressive yes they're just a little bit more reckless and willy-nilly about they're flying around the other day it was uh it was a ship going back and forth on the water and then right in and it was being recorded by i think the navy or the air force who was trying to say what the fuck is this this is in our airspace see you later right into Right into the water. Made a splash. Doesn't normally make a splash.
Starting point is 01:57:26 Then they're saying that there's potential alien bases underneath the water and deep in the ocean, which would allude to the point that Nick and all the nerds have been trying to make. We know more about space than we know about the ocean. Well, what if they're about to say? Yeah. That'd be awesome.
Starting point is 01:57:38 Let's get down there and find out. They will reveal themselves at the World Cup final in Qatar. I hope. Trust me on this one. That'd be sweet. And don't forget about that air show. That was a movie. We need to shoot one down.
Starting point is 01:57:49 That was filmed in the jet. You can't shoot them down, AJ. What, and start an intergalactic war? Yeah, come on. Wake up, idiot. Intergalactic. Primitive weaponry wouldn't affect you. Send in Will Smith.
Starting point is 01:57:59 Absolutely. Will Smith, Tom Cruise, all of them. We have some breaking news. Just one day after Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years for sex trafficking to nobody, right? That's what would come out as nobody.
Starting point is 01:58:14 R. Kelly has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for what he has done in what? Grooming and hostaging and sexually assaulting as well as being accused. He used music
Starting point is 01:58:30 for superstardom to subject young fans to systemic sexual abuse. Has been sentenced to 30 years in prison. That's via Phil Lewis. This all came out on the Surviving R. Kelly doc, I believe on Lifetime. It kind of opened all of our eyes. Then you do
Starting point is 01:58:45 remember the interview where he said, they're trying to take my life. And then Robert sit down and that whole thing, 30 years in jail, R Kelly for what he did here on earth. Um, that, that was alarming. The shit we were hearing about him. And it's like, how did this go on for so damn long? You know, in a time of the internet too, right? Well. A lot of it was going on with cell phones and everything. He basically is holding people hostage and keeping them from their parents. That whole deal, it was like a five-part series. It was terrible. Yes, it was terrible.
Starting point is 01:59:14 That makes you think also about how the Ghislaine Maxwell stuff and Epstein stuff happened while we had the internet and everything like that. I don't understand how some people can get away with the things that they do. I don't understand how some people can sleep at night. I won they do. I don't understand how some people can sleep at night. I won't be able to sleep tonight because how bad this show was today, but I hope tomorrow we get back in a batter's box and we take big time. I'll be a better one. It does make you wonder how people can sleep at night when they see something like that happening.
Starting point is 01:59:36 Maybe they have served R. Kelly ice cream and didn't say anything, didn't do anything, didn't raise any red flags or question marks. Because that person was working at an ice cream shop. You have
Starting point is 01:59:52 to sing whenever a tip comes. And R. Kelly was just dropping money. Dan, sing for me, Zito. We did sing that, yes. I pray to God and I said sorry to him and the people. You said pray to God, and I said sorry to him and the people. You said sorry to God?
Starting point is 02:00:07 Everybody. Nice. Okay. Repent. I repented. Do you forgive him? I fucking hate the guy. I always have.
Starting point is 02:00:14 I always will. Z, though? Is he? No. R. Kelly. Oh, shit. Well, I'm not saying I forget. None of us have forgiven R. Kelly.
Starting point is 02:00:20 Will his music get canceled, though? Or will they continue to play it? We all forget. I mean, they're still playing Michael. Say three Hail Marys. Michael didn't get convicted, though. You will they continue to play it? We all forget. I mean, they're still playing Michael. Say three Hail Marys. Michael didn't get convicted, though. You're going to get fucking killed for what you just did. Vastly different.
Starting point is 02:00:31 I'm in both documentaries. Yeah, Michael went to trial, though. Didn't get found guilty. R. Kelly here. I do believe they've already removed a lot of his music. Yeah, like Spotify and all those other ones. They don't play it at all. Yeah, Remix Ignition, I think people are still...
Starting point is 02:00:45 Oh, yeah, that's still plays. Bear shares. Bear shares. What? That's a shame, man. Why the fuck? You know, why are you going to... Why?
Starting point is 02:00:54 Yeah, well, who knows the... Yeah, I don't know. I don't understand people... When people are into people that aren't into them. Like, what makes you... If someone's not into you, I don't understand. I don't... that i don't i don't i'll never get that yeah why you keep pushing there's some weirdos out there dude
Starting point is 02:01:11 we need to stay away from him exactly exactly now he's locked up where's he going to jail do we know find out now where was the trial new york brooklyn he's got rikers 30 years you do rikers 30 years or is that one of those like uh 30 years i think you go to upstate after uh after the trial i don't know the whole thing and how come some people get sent out to like the middle of the country to different those that's like the high security you see well the florence the one in colorado that's the main one yeah the biggest supermax There's like a bomber. Isn't Indiana. Didn't Indiana have one of those?
Starting point is 02:01:48 I believe they used to have one. I don't think it's. It's a paintball range, though. Is it? No. You got to speak in high voice. Apparently there's a U.S. penitentiary in terror. Hey, is it maximum security? That's the one that has a un security United States federal prison for men. He's in Colorado. I thought Fogle was in Colorado.
Starting point is 02:02:09 I thought that was the sexual assault one. They're not putting Fogle out there. The Colorado one has every single major bomber. I think the Boston bomber is still there. Yeah, Unabomber. What's in Indiana? Indiana has something. There's some people here in Indiana.
Starting point is 02:02:21 I know that. It's got to be a big old prison. There's a big old prison in Ohio, too. Let me look. They filmed Shawshank in an old ohio prison yeah what town is that i don't know it's called something sam lived in that town for a couple years i forget because we drove through there to get somewhere and sam you could she like as a kid went and saw the the jail the jail yeah it was like a big deal hey come check out the jail town of middle noah red was there She, like, as a kid, went and saw the... The jail? The jail, yeah. It was like a big deal. I'd come check out the jail.
Starting point is 02:02:47 Time to middle know where Red was there. Really? Well, that's what I'm saying. All right, we're out of here. That's on me. This show. You were in khaki shorts? No, these...
Starting point is 02:02:58 I went to Dick's the other day. There's this company called Versed or something? V-E-R? Oh, yeah. I've seen it they're awesome they're stretchy yeah they're like yoga pants but they they have a bunch of yeah those are game changers they have like uh every time i go to dick's sporting goods i want to buy the whole store yeah i did a lot of that this weekend and that's where i got the quest thing which we just got 12
Starting point is 02:03:20 boxes here for their office awesome i saw those today i was at walgreens with my kids i saw them i almost bought a box i didn't you don though, right? They have a lot of calories. No, I would eat them. I would try them because I think that's a good, yeah. I don't, I'm not a huge like peanut butter cup person, but I would do it. I would try them. So that has been my favorite forever, my entire life. So that makes me feel good that since I have liked them for like three decades now at this point, I will hopefully continue to carry that on forever. And if I have found like my favorite sweet tooth
Starting point is 02:03:49 in a keto form and sweet tooth being the only drawback to my keto diet. Yeah. I mean, it's that's a big fucking moment, AJ. Think about how happy I was when I took that bite and was like, oh, oh my God. I think you'll find more stuff that you like probably
Starting point is 02:04:05 in that same vein i think it's going to continue to evolve because just a couple years ago it was all cardboard tasting shit because you can't do any sugar keto is a cult now all that intermittent fasting it's all a cult so yeah all that stuff will catch rich coming from you yeah you know fucking cult leader over there that doesn't quest have like cookies and brownies what's that buddy i thought quest has like cookies and brownies as well. I've tried. I've tried. Still haven't cracked that cookie.
Starting point is 02:04:27 Protein cookies are good there. I've had them. Yep. Great. Well, I mean, they're not going to be chocolate chip cookies that your wife makes, but they're going to be okay. No, my wife is a great baker, but the peanut butter cups from Quest in comparison to the Reese's, close enough that I'm like,
Starting point is 02:04:45 Ooh, good. The cookies. I don't think they've gotten to the point where, you know, but couldn't you, okay. Those quest little peanut butter cups.
Starting point is 02:04:54 You could easily sit down. Oh, go sweet tooth. You could sit down and eat 15 of those, right? Yes. That'd be, that'd be eight carbs.
Starting point is 02:05:01 I'm good. It's pretty good. Yeah. That is, that is, you should have seen all the calculations running in my head. I'm good. That's pretty good. You should have seen all the calculations running in my head. I can have fucking 20 of these things. That's 10 carbs. That's 10 net carbs. That's amazing.
Starting point is 02:05:14 I'm trying to stay under 15 each day, under 10 each day. At night, I can just have two of those when my normal sweet tooth would kick in and I'm out. I'm at like seven or eight. I should become I don't know, maybe Miles Teller and fucking Top Gun Maverick in like a week
Starting point is 02:05:30 or so if I keep doing this. How much do you weigh? You look good. I haven't been on a scale. I don't get on a scale. I don't want the numbers to deter me if I feel like I'm having success visually and physically. So I'll get on a scale at some point, but I'm doing cardio morning and night. Really? Yeah. You a climber?
Starting point is 02:05:47 Yeah, I do the stairs and then I box. Oh, you're in the awk. Yeah, that's right. I'm back in the awk. Fucking took out our class, took out the champ and fucking money matrix. You are really restricting yourself, by the way. I just looked it up. You only have to stay under 50 a day for keto. Yeah, so probably four or five days I'll be fucking eight back.
Starting point is 02:06:02 No big deal. That's what I'm saying. Look at me, AJ. Look at you, man. Figured it all out. What if I just do this forever? What if this is the new me? I think it is. It's your life show. Why not? Who says no? Who says I can't just be? Who says it? Are you happy?
Starting point is 02:06:16 Right now? Yeah. Got good energy? Hell yeah. I feel like I'm losing weight. The tan is awesome. That's what's important. Because the sun has been super hot. So here we go i'm excited man i can't wait to get to the stage of life where i'm just getting a bunch of fake done to my face and the transition of my face changes wait till i come back and i'm just why the long face what are you talking about this is my new face dude you and brady look exactly
Starting point is 02:06:40 alike well that transformation photo thing is yeah very alarming trying to keep that off the internet as much as possible yeah like whenever I think why is everybody saying he's burying him by the way what do you mean what are you saying everybody's saying he's like a robot that's like to go to his social media is very good very good yeah if he ran it that'd be no but he has to okay it right he probably looks at it or maybe he definitely does because he sends the videos to them like the Father's Day one and he can cut a promo every once in a while. I've seen him cut a promo with a little bit of human life. Why does everybody just think he's just Roboto?
Starting point is 02:07:10 Error, error, error. Why do people think that? Honestly, I'm legitimately. I think this is how we talk. And I think it's like the routine. Like he will forever wake up at 5 and go to bed at 8. No matter what. Like him and Jim Gray.
Starting point is 02:07:23 Yeah, TB12. I don't know. Ice Cream probably did it. Yeah, TB12 died. Oh, God. Ice Cream probably did it. What was that? Break the Huddle? What was the show they did? Say Nothing every Monday night at 6 p.m. on SiriusXM. That was the name of the show.
Starting point is 02:07:35 Kind of a weird name. Let's go. We did not expect that name. Is that back for another season next year? Hope so. I fucking hope so. And let's get some things out of it. And let's get Larry Fitzgerald on because that was pitch pitched and i don't know if he was on one larry's i do believe
Starting point is 02:07:48 uh larry gets the tail end of the episode can we tell siri or alexa or whoever's listening lambda this year we listen to this okay for our show on tuesday and wednesday and thursday sure okay i think i think Nick did. It just happened to be on the car on the radio in the car on my drive home, so I would catch it. You wouldn't say ever? It does not compute.
Starting point is 02:08:16 The biggest thing he said was before the Patriots-Bucks game when Tom Brady Sr. came out and said something, he had to basically tell him to shut up, Dad. That was the biggest thing all year. Tom Patrick Brady Sr. does not speak when Tom Brady Sr. came out and said something, he had to basically tell him to shut up. Shut up, Dad. That was the biggest thing all year. Tom Patrick Brady Sr. does not speak for Tom. That's bullshit, Dad.
Starting point is 02:08:31 That's basically what he said. This shouldn't even end at some point. We should give away something for people that stuck through this one. PMS. 25,000 people. What are you doing? PMS Sweet Blake. PMS Lambda?
Starting point is 02:08:48 Yeah. That'd be making a call too big, I think. True. Hashtag PMS Sweet Blake, I think it has to be. Get this guy some pub. He deserves it. This guy's trying to save the goddamn world. Take a screenshot.
Starting point is 02:09:06 Oh, fuck. this guy some pub he deserves it this guy's trying to save the goddamn world take a screenshot oh I mean, yeah. Dog. Dog. Absolute dog, Sweet Blake. Take that screenshot. Say something nice to somebody. Put your hashtag in there and use the hashtag PMSSweetBlake.

Starting point is 02:09:48 AJ, here's some sticks in the fire. Whoa. A lot of sticks in the fire. That's right. We've got a lot of lines in the water right now. And down at the bottom, there's some whoppers biting at the bait. You know what I mean, AJ? Yep.
Starting point is 02:10:03 And that just reminds me of yesterday when I asked Bruce about his swing. He said, you're trying to come from the pocket. You guys instantly both said, yep, here we go. By the way, every golf tip I watch on every meme, all they're trying to get you to do is come out of the pocket. What does that mean? Come out of the pocket. Fucking come out of the pocket, dude. That's actually what it says.
Starting point is 02:10:18 Keep it tight to your body? Yeah, tight to your body. Come out of the pocket. Uculus. Oh, fucking TV on the juju forget it you're trying to come out of the pocket though pal trying to come out of the pocket you know what I mean inside out maybe I'll make that swing change when I get out to Tahoe you should I'll give you a look the golf uh fixed guys out there I guess Michael really Michael. Really? Ledbetter. No.
Starting point is 02:10:47 AJ's going to be doing that juju swing in Tahoe. There's no way. He's been thinking about it way too much. He's going to subconsciously start doing it. Michael Breed. Michael Breed. No, it's not him. That's not the golf fix guy. Not anymore?
Starting point is 02:10:55 Who's golf fix now? I Google golf fix guy and it says Michael Breed. Golf fix now is what you're saying? Put golf fix 2022. Is he British? I don't know. I have no idea. I thought it was the original person I watched
Starting point is 02:11:06 at 2 a.m., 3 a.m. with pool noodles in his pocket. David Faraday? No, that was never the Golfix, please. Have a little respect for fucking Golfix. Golfix was awesome. Oh, the new little, the Golfix. I don't know. I can
Starting point is 02:11:22 only find Michael Breed. Yeah, let's look at what Bruce was trying to Here's the juju swing Oh it's called the juju That's how you know it's good Can we see it That's a lot different than Bruce That is nothing
Starting point is 02:11:38 How is that a weird swing That's a standard golf swing Wait Bruce didn't replicate it right Well he's trying it's feel standard golf swing. Wait, Bruce didn't replicate it right? Well, he's trying. It's feel versus real. Ain't that right, Bruce? It's a little feel versus real problem.
Starting point is 02:11:51 I just wanted to stop hitting it fat. I was hitting it fat every single time. So I was like, oh, maybe this fucking swing. Let's just blade everyone now. Thin, thin, thin. Thin to win. Simple. That looks like a standard swing, doesn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:12:01 What am I getting wrong? Just the hands are just a little turned. The hands are a little weird. Yeah, Bruce's hands go super, like, extra. Yeah, you never break the wrists or hinge them at all. On any other swing? Or on this swing? I mean, let's get real.
Starting point is 02:12:15 Nobody's swing is going to look like that, though. Matthew Wolfe kind of. I just saw six, seven people. I mean, out of the people on this program, no one's swing is going to look that good. No. Matthew Wolfe swings that way. I concur.
Starting point is 02:12:26 I can't touch my toes. I'm not flexible enough for golf, I don't think. Everybody sends me tips and stuff on what I should do. Yeah, here. It's this. That. Oh, come on, Bruce. That right wrist.
Starting point is 02:12:38 What are you doing? Look at that, though. What if he made contact on that fucking wrist? What if he does? The club's going to miss the ball by six feet. Fundamentally, the club head should never be ahead of your hands. make contact on that the club head should never be ahead of your uh hands and so that's what that's doing so i don't know how that makes any sense maybe it's for people that just super slice and so they're trying to get ahead of it so that you can hook yeah yeah you got to get steep to get shallow
Starting point is 02:13:04 all right we're back tomorrow. Hashtag PMS Sweet Blake. Take a screenshot earlier. Ten winners, $599. We're back tomorrow. Then we're off Friday. Then we're back Tuesday, Wednesday. And then we're live on social media.
