Hello, beautiful people. It is Wednesday. There's no sports with the ESPYs tonight other than WNBA game that tipped off two months ago. July 20th, 2022. Let's ride. That's right. Not as much excitement in the let's ride as I could have hoped for, for a day that has next to no sports other than WNBA. Obviously, appreciate that. Yeah, here we go.

They got a game that just started three minutes ago. We will obviously keep tabs on that throughout the entirety of the show. Tonight's ESPYs hosted by Steph Curry. That's going to be a good show. I think I'm up for one. Really? Yeah, that's right. I think I'm up for one with the WWE. Nobody has told me to travel out there to receive the trophy, so let's assume

that maybe I'm not winning. I don't know. Fun fact about the ESPYs, I was actually there one time. No big deal. Boom, boom. The only reason why I was there is because I was working at the NFL Network for that week.

I happened to be in LA for something and the NFL Network was like, hey, do you want to come do stuff? It was when NFL AM was happening. So I was hosting NFL AM, which started at 3 AM local time to 7 AM. And people are living that life for numerous years out there.

So I got nothing but respect for everybody that hosted that NFL AM show. Because a lot of people were telling the NFL network, like, hey, don't you think your morning show should be out of the Eastern Standard Time Zone? If you guys are going to operate as an Eastern Standard Time Zone show, because you're starting 6 to 10 AM on the East Coast, because the New York NFL offices watch every single morning. Like, hey, we need our morning show. But we're going to shoot this thing in Studio City, Loseles so that's going to be 3 a.m local time sure so the people that did that nfl am show um and there's so many uh ret erin lavar uh who else was i on there with there's a bunch of people i was on there with great people

their lives steve weiss was on there their lives were completely revolving around that yeah and then that show got canceled out of nowhere but I was out there getting an opportunity to do some stuff with them get to meet everybody see how the operation goes learn some stuff I had a blast and the ESPYs just so happened to be happening at the same exact time so I was asked like hey do you want to go shoot some content from the red carpet uh for NFL AM and then go into the show and I assume for a lot of people it's hey, you get an opportunity to go do this. I was begrudgingly doing this. I was not exactly thrilled to be doing it, but I thought maybe I could get some good

content. I'm like, maybe they'll get a good spot on the red carpet. We had about two foot space, like two foot space. There was no awning or anything like that. So, I don't know, 120 degrees, standing next to, I i believe the people that were next to me in media from like spain or something like that didn't even speak couldn't even talk to him nope then there was some other i forget who it was nobody really that we knew uh that i had any idea was standing like this sideways cameraman had a foot behind me too we we all had little blocked out

squares that we were able to have standing behind a guardrail and And then teammates of mine and friends of mine are walking by, and they're like, what the fuck are you doing? I'm like, you want to answer a question, man? And we tried to make some content out of it. I think it went well. But I lost 30 pounds on the red carpet. So that's good. So then I go into the ESPYs, first time going into the ESPYs.

Drake was the host. It was a fucking hell of a show. Had a great time. Award shows suck to be at, but it was still a good show. Commercial breaks are awkward. It's uncomfortable. There's seat fillers. There's really no,

there's no upside once the show starts to be at the show. If it's in a theater, there is zero, unless you're going to win. Unless you're going to win and give the speech

and have a whole thing, it's awesome. But other than that, not really for me. Award shows, not really for me, not really my thing. I mean,

I've also been a person that has lost a lot of awards. So I mean mean that is probably another jaded element of my life on why i didn't have as much just like college football award show unbelievably terrible time not good couldn't even i mean sitting like this tim and sally and i uh had to tim had to get off work to come down to this thing in orlando we're wearing these clown suits, the one I rented one and Tim had one. And we're representing West Virginia down there. And it was for the Ray Guy Award. And you're sitting like this.

They gave the punting award first. And I didn't win. It was like first or second. And I didn't win. Whatever. Bullshit. I mean, it was. We were not the three that were supposed to be there.

I've said this before. But out of the three that were there, I mean, clearly I should have won. Didn't win. No big deal. Keep it moving. We're never like Ray Guy because of it. And then for two and a half hours, I had to sit like this in a suit with Tim and Sally and clap. And if you get up and leave for too long, they're like, are you making your way back? Because we'll have some seat fillers show in there. I'm like, oh yeah, send some seat fillers to sit next to Tim and Tim and Sally. I would like that. so like award shows aren't my bag but i do know that people enjoy it it's a really cool occasion to honor and celebrate people i got to

hear tim tebow speak like four or five times that night sweet uh baden spoke a few times i think uh herb street cut a little promo i mean it was there were some cool moments to be there i was lucky to be there but i learned at that point it's not my thing. So the ESPYs, when I'm going inside to sit down now, here we go. So you're back in, you're sitting in a theater that's this big, you know, the seat that's this big, and the Colts were up for an award. I had no idea. And I

was the only member of the Colts that was there. So when this award came up, there was a camera shooting on me. And there was like, oh, fuck. Am I going to get an espy right now i'm gonna go win an espy i'm giving a speech at the espies oh my god so obviously probably some edibles running through me at the time i'm incredibly uncomfortable i've already lost 30 pounds from the red carpet outside and i'm sitting there and this camera person is sitting on me

and i i think i was with trip my guy trip h, who is one of the most beautiful humans of all time. Just going through life, doing his thing, always happy. Ignorance is bliss is this guy's actual motto. He was in school for seven years at West Virginia. Was a gray shirt, blue shirt, red shirt, all the shirts. And then could have had a doctorate. I don't think he did. I think he just graduated with a bachelor's in science and physical therapy and some other stuff, I think.

So he's like a trainer. Good guy. Love trip. Great person to be around, though. Like, always positive. Oh, my God. From Alabama. Mobile, Alabama.

Like, great dude. We're sitting there. That camera comes on us, and we are both on cloud 70. And Pat's about to give a fucking ass. So I'm like, oh, my God. I didn't know this was the case. I didn't even know the Colts were up. And I didn't know this was the case. I didn't even know the Colts were up and I didn't know I was the only one that was representing the Colts. So there was

a moment for maybe six seconds where I'm like, oh fuck, I'm winning an espy. I'm winning an espy. I'm giving a speech and then clearly we didn't win. Somebody else won, the camera left away and then I was there for another three hours sitting like this and it was very uncomfortable but Drake was awesome. The show was awesome. Get to

chat with everybody's Everybody's awesome. I think Steph Curry will do well tonight. Yeah. I think obviously there will be some moments that we will talk about from tomorrow. But all in all, has the ESPYs been the ESPYs for like the last 10 years almost? Oh, no. Why is that, you think? What is it?

Go ahead, Atone Diggs. Host. It's all about the host. It doesn't matter. Anything else. I also think they started releasing the winners. Anti-Schmidt and Boss O'Connor over there at the talk table. They started releasing the winners on ESPN.com the day of. So there actually used to be that kind of award show feel where you legitimately didn't know who was going to win the awards.

But if you know who's going to win going in, it's like, well, I'm not going to watch this for three hours. Yeah, you should not be tipping picks away for awards. That kind of defeats the entire thing because that moment of who's going to win doesn't exist. And that's one of the only moments, right? Right. Of the thing. Because some people are genuinely shocked if they win.

Ari Mirov and Shams are going to be tipping SB. Yeah, for sure. I say, hey, by the way, that's the game. Can't blame them for it. Let's keep that thing under a little bit tighter lock and key, maybe, so nobody finds out. You're right. The host, though, I think is a big deal because Drake was awesome.

Yeah, Justin Timberlake. The one that I was at, Drake was awesome. He did the Sterling Never Loved Us song because that was when Sterling had just come out. And me and Tripp were the only white people within uh six to seven rows probably because we're i was in the bullpen of who's potentially winning an espy and where they put us was in the nfl side and i was like row five six back in the middle real small like worse i mean it was terrible it was a terrible experience it was for me it was a terrible

experience but i'm also not supposed to be that you see me stand here when i'm doing this so it's not i'm not built for it but that he sings that sterling never loved us goes commercial break everything goes quiet lights come on and like me and trip are the only two white guys around we're like hey fuck i think you hate everybody but yeah i i understand what you're saying you know i understand then he did a um he did a song or a shout outout to the side pieces in the back, you know, because the guys had their families up at the front, and then there were side pieces in the back, you know, and shout-out to all the girls in the back or whatever.

And then once commercial break, lights come on. And I'm around, like, some guys, and there were some uncomfortable moments. Awkward moments. I think there were some really awkward moments. Tough. Yeah, because there were some guys that laughed about it, and I'm like, oh, those guys don't have that happening. Yeah, yeah, yeah. because there were some guys that laughed about it and i'm like oh those guys uh don't have that happening yeah then there were some guys that were just like sitting there and then you see like their uh whoever their date was

for the night being like uh who's he talking about it was all but it was it was a cool moment watching drake do his thing there were some great speeches. But most of these award shows, not just sports, right? Too long, who gives a fuck? You know, in the speeches, I think the ESPY speeches will be great tonight. I honestly believe that. I think we'll learn some things. I enjoy listening to incredibly talented people speak because I feel like that's a nice lesson

in how this successful person got to where they were. Like, you think back to NFL honors, I still like Whitworth speech. I think I still think about, right. There's been good speeches at award shows. Obviously the old buddy talking about milk coming from the cow's tits, Joaquin Phoenix,

Joaquin Phoenix. I remember those. Will there be a speech tonight that people will remember forever? Will there be a moment from the SBs tonight that people remember forever? TBD, I guess. And that's what we'll, along the way for. Yeah, I'm just watching hoping someone just shows up bombed. And then if there is someone there that is

just blackout drunk, then there's going to be a great moment. And if not, then you're probably going to watch Steph Curry do another lap around the sun because he has had a pretty good last few months. Why wouldn't he? And then aside from that, it probably is going to stink. Steph will be good.

Yeah, he'll be good for sure. Is it live or is it tape delay? I think it's live. I thought it was live. Because they do the whole red carpet thing and stuff like that. I think it is live. I was asked to potentially present an award tonight. Okay. That'd be sweet.

Would have cost $50,000 to fly the plane over there and and fly back i was honored but not that honored right i was but i was very thankful to even be asked to do that because it is a big evening the person i was potentially going to present alongside also decided not to go so that potentially changed my decision on going or not but i was honored to be asked but it was supposed to be tonight so i think it is a live event i think it is a live operation. Nick said it is live. Do we know who's going for the WWE in case you guys win? Are they sending Miz or something?

I hope the Miz. If the Miz is given an acceptance speech tonight, I am about it. Liv Morgan will be joining us in the second hour, but now SmackDown Women's Champion Liv Morgan will join us. You only live once. She has had a rise to superstardom. I think she's up for an ESPY as well.

Okay. Really? I believe Liv is up for an ESPY for one of the moments she's had over the last year. She is a superstar with a rocket ship attached right to her back. Dog. Dog. Dog. Hard worker.

Everywhere. Feels like she loves everything that she does. And it always seems like things work out for the people that are really like trying the hardest and enjoying it the most and investing the most. Not just in wrestling, but I'm talking like any. Fast. Any genre of work. Yeah. Other than like the cubicles where you got to raise your hand and go piss, and you only get a 30-minute lunch.

I don't think anybody that enjoys it and works harder is going to necessarily get sued. But it feels like most professions, those who can find entertainment and enjoyment in what they do and invest in it, and that's mostly because you like it, you're going to have the most amount of success. Because when you like something, you're putting in the extra work, you're thinking about it in the off time you're doing your entire life is it feels like that's what live is and it's all paying off for so it's a fucking hell of a story and i cannot wait to chat with her in about an hour from right now i wonder if she's gonna if she's is she going to espy tonight is that why maybe potentially i mean she's a worthy champion you know so so i could see her winning an espy tonight. The WWE PR asked me if I wanted to have Liv on today.

I'm like, sure, absolutely have Liv on. And I never followed up with, like, are we promoting SummerSlam? Are we promoting her being a champion? Or is it potentially that she's going to the Espy tonight? I have no idea. We'll have to ask. That's a good conversation. Look what we're doing.

And then we'll have Jamie Erdahl in the third hour. It's Badass Woman Wednesday here at the Pat McAfee Show. Jamie Erdahl, formerly of CBS Sports. She basketball, football, college, NFL. She played basketball in college and fast pitch softball. Okay. So from Minnesota. She is the new host of Good Morning Football.

Good morning. She debuts July 25th Which is next week obviously She'll be on with us at 2.05 Can't wait to chat with her And how that happened So it's not a bad Not a bad badass woman Wednesday WNBA has a game

16 minutes in They're the only sport happening On the calendar This is the only day of the year I think where there's like Next to nothing This is the driest day of sports On the calendar That's what we got the ESPYs for tonight But let's year I think where there's next to nothing. This is the driest day of sports on the calendar.

That's what we got the ESPYs for tonight. But let's not talk about today. Let's not talk about the lack of sports. Let's talk about the monumental event that happened last night. And baseball matters. You know? Yeah. Baseball absolutely matters. Sure. If you're a Yankees fan, it certainly does. And going into, if you're

a Yankees fan, it does. There's a couple other teams. But going into this All-Star game last night, the AL, the American League, had won eight straight All-Star games. Not everybody knows who's in the AL and who's in the NL, obviously. But I can say the American League does have the New York Yankees in them. Yes. And Ty Schmidt, you're a diehard Yankees fan. Newborn father,, new father. Did you watch the game last night? And are all-star games tough to watch or great to watch?

out there so you really are watching like all the best players play against each other i mean like does it matter no i watched a little bit of it but like you do get moments like you know yankee fan john carlos stanton hit an 800 foot home run last night to win it right i tied it and then another guy went back to back with him he was the mvp of the game but like so nine straight for the al yes does the nl even have team what? What are the Pirates in? They are in the NL. Makes sense. O'Neal Cruz, though. Yeah.

Dodgers also in the NL? No. No? What? Guy's 6'7", runs a fucking 4'2", and he's not in the All-Star game? He's been out for like 20 games. So? Who cares?

He's an All-Star. Dog. What? He's got some ways to go. He's batting like 206. I mean, he can throw it hard as hell from shortstop to first base, but this guy's not a fucking all-star yet. It's bombs.

Anyways, get back to who was there. But, no, yeah, just like the pitching is so good. And some of the stuff they did, which they'll never do during the actual games, but like Alec Manoa, who is a good young pitcher for the Blue Jays, they had him miked up, and the booth was talking to him while he was pitching. He struck out the side in the inning. He was asking John Smoltz, like, hey, what do you want me to throw here? That kind of stuff is really sweet.

I believe he hit a guy. He did. He did. He said, what pitch do you want? Smoltz told him a pitch, and then, boom, hit a guy immediately afterwards. I'm like, this is baseball now. John. Exactly.

What if it was fan crazed baseball where pitcher had earpiece in and it was decided by the crowd what pitch has to be thrown next. That would be awesome. That would be pretty sweet. I'm voting middle finger

fastball every time. And that's why we can't have nice things. You know, you gotta have like a Smoltz or whatever. There's a behind-the-back play highlight, right? Sweet. Turn two there. There was a dinger from Giancarlo. And then Byron Buxton hit one right after him.

But like you said, I mean, there was no scoring after the fourth inning. So the NL roughed up the AL. 13-1 and two underrun. Yeah, exactly. Sounds fun. We bet on that? Oh, yeah. That was the hammer. I did take the NL roughed up the AL. 13-1 and 2 underrun. Yeah, exactly. Sounds fun. We bet on that? Oh, yeah. That was the hammer.

I did take the NL, though. It was well set. Tony, it's straight. It's 3-2. I mean, it's not like it fucking was 12-2. That's a terrible game. I couldn't even imagine trying to watch that. I saw the highlights.

I saw the clips. And I saw a lot of people tweeting about it. And I turned it on like four different times.'s a cool um cancer i stand up for moment i watched that got a little emotional for that not because it was just like the greatest performance of all time but because as they're going around and people are like i stand up for like my mom and then people are like okay so this dude obviously lost his mother to cancer. Like, that was a – I thought that was a very touching moment. I thought that was a cool moment.

And then all the highlights that I watched. But I'm not a baseball guy. Never will be. And that's what I'd say. Like, if you like baseball, like, typically, yeah, like a 3-2 game might be a little boring. But these are all the best players. Like, the pitchers are fun to watch because their stuff is so fucking good. So it's like, if you do like baseball – and i still don't think people are really watching the game

like that but it actually is a very entertaining you know it's way more entertaining than any 3-2 game you'd watch you know during the regular season but i wouldn't that's what i mean but you would right yeah exactly you love the baseball that's right so. So what do we do now? Now we have 95 games left for every single team. Yeah, 82 in there. Full season. Here we go, boys. 82 more games. Turn this whole thing around.

Trade deadline's coming up. There are some big guys that might be moving to different places. Giancarlo's out of town? No, no, no. Aaron Judge, though, is. No, he's not. Yeah, you saw the interview. What did Aaron Judge say? This was last night?

No, some reporter, some moron, you know, was pressing him at the All-Star game. He's just trying to fucking take a few days off of his MVP season right now, have a little fun. She asked him basically, like, hey, what are you going to do next year? Are you going to be a Yankee? What would you say to fans who don't want to lose you? And he basically just said, like, shut up, you know. I'm not.

I said the Yankees got a lot of great, I'd say there's a lot of great. Yeah, there's a lot of other great players on the Yankees. So, like, you figure it out. But, yeah, bingo. They fucked up big time, and he's about to make $450 million in the All-Star. Well, congrats, Aaron Judge. The story of the All-Star game, though, was piece of shit, autograph hound, elbowing kids.

And I, you know, I feel like I've been on this pretty loudly for a long time. Yep. And I think a lot of people are scared to come out and openly bash these humans because of, you know, like, oh, they're fans, they're fans. This is kind of like when Francesa told us about phone callers. Yeah. Like, hey, when people call into your show, always say that's fans your show that's fans your show they might be fans your show but these are people who want to be a part of the show that's right

this would be like at a theater for a motherfucker to get up out of his seat walk onto the stage stop the entire show and say that that that you gotta fucking get that person off there because that person is not a fan that person wants to be a part of the show. Might also be a fan of show. But said person is trying to have their moment on the show. They can add to the show. But if they don't add to the show, Francesa Torres, basically, you are doing your fans a disservice if you let these fucking assholes ruin your show. So that's why he's right.

Yeah. That's how he handles it. I try not to do that. But that is a great way to kind of view it. The autograph hounds, although they can grandstand and act as if like, oh, I'm the biggest fan. They're not. They're assholes who are trying to prey on your kindness, your hard work, and fuck over your fans. So it is literally a trio of fuck this person in

one person and i used to not be like that i used to be very thankful when anybody asked me for my autograph i used to like be super honored about it but once you see these like you can sign i sign something and then i literally see somebody tweet me something and my autograph is not worth anywhere near what some people are selling some shit with my name on it right now i don't think anybody's is i think a picture is worth a lot more i'd much rather i do that with literally everybody but these autograph hounds are sacks of shit and i think this guy that did this last night is an absolute gentleman an honorable person thank you for elbowing kids in public.

Thank you for getting caught on camera for this because now everybody can agree that this fucking guy and all the people that are like this guy that show up at airports at 2 a.m., pop up out of nowhere, right outside, or they're half asleep and are like, hey, I got like 50, 60 things. Can you sign for me?

No. Oh, you don't like your fans? You don't appreciate your fans? It's like, no, I don't want your fucking ass to go buy a bunch of meth off the shit that I'm signing for you. Remember the motherfucker that sat outside this office? A couple garbage bags full.

Yeah, and I used to just sign a couple for them as well. And then, oh, I got 10 more. 10 more. I won't take up much of your time fuck you how about that pal so the kids and the fans it is hard um to like kind of that was my thing about the american century championship like the american century championship is an incredibly run operation that tournament is awesome it was beautiful it was so cool to even be invited and be there but that autograph hound super bowl which is what american century championship is and that is something they should

think about trying to figure out and hopefully that guy last night has opened more eyes like yeah these these fucking type of people say always dudes by the way yes just always white dudes by the way so if we want to pile on even more on a white male and if you want to get behind something it's always white males that are doing this they'll send their fucking six-year-old up to six-year-old will come up with a blank piece of like photo paper and be like uh mr uh mcpat can you sign this and then i'll be like yeah you yeah, you got a buddy, a little fist bump. And then I'll sign it. And then he'll, he'll like look back and his dad will be like,

and he like, he takes out the, can I get one for my sister? And it's like, you sack of shit. Like you are a even bigger scumbag. So I actually kind of have some respect that this guy didn't find some child and pay him 50 cents to go do the bidding for him.

And instead he's elbowing. But there was him 50 cents to go do the bidding for him. And instead he's elbowing. But there was a lot of great takes around the internet last time. PFT's tweet about how any adult that tries to buy Sharpies should get a background check. Fucking love it. Absolutely love it.

I mean, you know what I mean? But those people are the fucking worst and I'm happy the world is all kind of coming around on it. And hopefully that'll be a profession that although will exist, will have a lot less respect for it for a long time. They're the ones that always yell,

It's for the kids! It's work for the kids! For your fans! Shut the fuck up. Like, I've got to that point now. Hey, shut the fuck up. It's awesome. Hop in my car and leave.

I love... One of the most freeing things, when I finally was like. I don't have to do this anymore. Not today. I'm not, because I fly every fucking week. So every, and they track everything I do. I think they have a Facebook group.

I think they're all connected and they message each other like, hey, I need this to happen. And they'll just show up and they're just sitting out there like some sad looking fucking saps. And the drivers, whoever's driving me in the local area, is like, you got a couple fans out here. I was like, those aren't fans, pal. Those are scumbags. And then the driver is, like, judging me, right? And I finally got to the point where I was like, I don't give a fuck what this driver don't know. Hey, you just fucking drive, all right? Fuck all these people.

But then every once in a while, there will be, like, a family there driver don't know? Hey, you just fucking drive, all right? Fuck all these people. But then every once in a while, there will be like a family there. You'll know. Like a dad has like a shirt on, like a For the Brand shirt on, and the kid, you know, is like wearing jorts and a tank top. And I'm like, fuck, all right.

So listen, driver, we got to stop for them. But immediately after that, we are out of here, okay? We are out of here. So stop for the kid talk to the kid and always while you're in the middle of it fucking dickhead comes flying in oh yeah hand in car normally if you get out just absolutely attack they're the fucking worst and i'm happy everybody's starting to realize that yeah there needs to be repercussions i don't know why we don't do like

the casino like sam did and bring him to the back room and bash his hands like a hammer maybe and he can't carry a sharpie or a baseball or anything that he needs to be signed because that guy's not stopping. Cause I believe he did end up getting an autograph. So I don't know what else is going up for sale probably this weekend. Oh yeah. And I'll tell you what, these little fucking scumbags are patient though.

Like they will wait, wait, wait, wait, and then they'll put it out there if they're able to do it. Go ahead. Zito. Remember in Texas when we drove from the airport to the hotel and they followed you?

In the parking lot and everything. And then Mr. Cole had to go pick something up from his hotel room or something like that, and they chased the car. Chased our car, yeah. It was the most insane. It was straight out of a movie. With garbage bags? Yeah.

Sign this. That's happened here, too. I'm like, yeah, I don't think so. How about that? I'm not signing for you. Oh, we'll see you later. No, you won't. And then I get in a car drive.

They're in a fucking car chasing our car, following us. I think it was like a 20 minute drive. 20 minute drive tailing us. Then we get in the parking lot and we're dropping off

Michael Cole and we get there and they start sprinting over to our car. I'm like, these motherfuckers like persistent I respect the persistence

but also no you scumbags Princess Diana yeah this is unbelievable I think that was the big story last night it made me go to bed positive I was super positive I'm like thank you

we need more we need more of this exposure of these fucking scumbags yeah capture it we need those to be captured if you see it send yes see it send it and also do not feel bad for those fucking people no at all they're trying to charge actual fans of people a grotesque price for something that if you ever see the person like if anybody ever saw me in real life at an event i will sign for anybody except the people that it's very clear

like uh you're working here oh yeah you're working here hey you little kid you're probably cool kid fuck you and your dad how about that it's always it's a very it's an interesting thing that i've kind of had to figure out and you all are gonna have to go through it as well i mean it's gonna happen to you all as well i think so no think so. No, no, I think so. Especially if you keep hitting singles in a celebrity software game. Not even like the money part of it, but just seeing the way that guy's acting, how anyone on the face of the earth could be like, oh, yeah, this guy's a normal guy. He loves Justin Verlander. He's a hard worker.

Hard worker. There's a lot of comments below that tweet saying that, oh, this guy's just a fan. He just really wants it. Exactly. Exactly. That's always the end. By the way, when they're with the people, too, when they're with the people,

and they're doing, for the kids, for your fans, they are trying to gas up the crowd. The whole thing, yeah. I've done a full stop. After a, for your fans, for your kids. For the fans. For your kids. For the fans. For your kids. Shut the fuck up.

And then I go to a kid in front of him, sign for the kid, take a photo for the kid. Then as he's shoving something into my face and arm, batting out of hand, and then walking away. Like, it has become one of my only real beefs with life. Now granted, once people stop asking, right? this is like the whole when people get famous, they go to Hollywood and then they start going to everywhere where paparazzi hangs out at. And then they say, I'm getting privacy like you have like, hey, that's kind of the double tradeoff.

Yeah. Like when people stop asking and stop asking for photos and autographs, probably dead. Not good. That's not what you want. But those people are vermin. Those people are snakes. Those people are sacks of shit. And I'm happy that the world saw it last night.

Let's go to some news around the NFL world. Debo Samuel's trainer kind of looked like, never mind. Good show. A little bit. Looks like an autograph hound. Debo is a fucking stud, though. This guy's got to be doing something right.

First time seeing Debo back in Northern California, I believe. Selfie video from his trainer saying, we about to get paid. And then he's about to get paid. What does that mean? Is it Debo Samuel deal around the corner? Is that what his trainer was alluding to? Is Jimmy G about to get traded? And that opens up $20-some million that they could potentially pay Debo Samuel,

which we thought maybe was going to be the endgame in this whole thing. Remember, Debo and his agent have all the other wide receivers that were on the move. He knows what his market is. He doesn't want to be a running back, doesn't want to take the extra hits, just wants to be a wide receiver. We'll see how it all pans out. But it's good news for everybody, I think, that Debobo's working out that debo still seems to be in high spirits and that his trainer who has made this debo monster says we're about he's about to get paid uh so much of a team

mindset for that guy that he lost it this is good for the san francisco four and a half and the guy he was talking to on the phone when he was with his stepmother or grandmother. I forget, A.J. Brown. He got the four years, $100,057,000 guaranteed. So you assume it's probably in that area because Tony Dondi is the guy. Torrey. Torrey Dondi. Torrey Dondi.

You assume that's kind of the baseline for most of these guys? Because does he rep Terry McLaurin, too? And Terry got the three years. I don't think he reps Terry. No. It's A.J. Brown. D.K. D.K. Metcalf. That's Brown. D.K. D.K.

That's who it is. Deebo Samuel. And it was basically every wide receiver that wanted to be on the move. Hollywood Brown, too. Hollywood Brown. Scary Terry didn't want to be on the move until late. Remember? That wasn't like at the draft time. Right.

It was free agency time. No, not free agency. Deadline time. Yeah. And they got that deal done. Right away. In like two weeks. We're on a bear. So we've been talking to his team for like two weeks. We're not free agency. Deadline time. And they got that deal done. Right away. In like two weeks. We've been talking to his team for like two weeks. We're not going to let him go.

Torrey Dondi has been setting the wide receiver market, though. That one agent. And, oh, Debo Gitt. And I still, and I've been saying this for a long time, and I sound like Rappaport after Rappaport gets corrected by J.K. Dobbins at Rappaport Go. I'm like, no, I still

trust my sources over J.K. Dobbins or Rapport goes, like, no, I still trust my sources over J.K. Dobbins. I still feel like the Niners could just add a little extra money and say, also, we want some running back reps out of you. I think it's the fact that they were probably not going to pay any extra for him to be a running back as well, just pay him top wide receiver money and not give him any extra for any running back. And he was like, well, we're not going to take running back hits if you're not going to pay him like that

because wide receivers get paid a lot more money and wide receivers' careers seem to be a lot longer and wide receivers don't get beat up as much for an entire season with 17 games. So I still believe there is a chance that Shanahan and Lynch are like, hey, we'll pay you this. And then also we would like some reps at running back because he's a game changer there. He's a fucking X factor on the field.

But I hope they get that deal done because Shanahan with Debo, with Kittle, Kittle and Debo, like, basically before every game last year, dapping each other up. And it's like, hey, we go. This team goes as we go. I love it. I can't wait for all the drama to be past us and see these motherfuckers back on the field.

Do you think, like, do they have to do something with jimmy g to get his contract done because i feel like every time well one of these contracts gets signed the first year is always like their their uh dead cap or whatever the cap it goes down like no matter what yeah well that's cash over cap and that's upfront money sure that's what i'm saying do they have to do something with jimmy well that's the i mean as you're asking a question i said well because the cap isn't real yeah sure so they don't have to do anything with anybody they can pay everybody max contract somehow and they've been able to figure out all the kind of ins and outs of the contracts and how you go about doing it andrew brant explained to us about cash over caps so the wealthier owners are at a much bigger advantage than the non not that no there's zero owners that aren't wealthy

okay so let's not even get into that but the ones who have a shit ton of cash on hand are able to put this money into escrow that's a guarantee so the nfo knows that they're also able to put this money into escrow that's a guarantee, so the NFL knows that. They're also able to put a massive signing bonus out there that they can prorate over the entire duration of the contract. So what I'm saying is, do they need to get rid of Jimmy to do his deal? Probably not without our stance has been on salary cap. But I feel like that has been pretty clear. There's $22 million. there's $22 million. There's $22 million

just sitting right there. Everybody's saying this. Other guy's the starter. Jimmy G last year, still $20-some million they could have saved if they got rid of him, but it felt like the Niners were like, we have a plan. Jimmy's our guy. Jimmy's still in the plans. Jimmy's still in the plans. Even though all of us were like, you saved $23 million.

You traded all your first-rounders in the future to go get this quarterback. How the fuck could you keep jimmy g around they did they had success then immediately after the season jimmy said his goodbyes then they said their goodbyes the media said their goodbyes and then he has that shoulder surgery now he's throwing the ball doesn't have any deep balls it just feels like the obvious trend here would be Jimmy's contract disappears and all of a sudden Debo is able to get paid. But we've asked Ian Rappaport about that. We've asked other insiders about that.

And they've said, oh, that's not necessarily the case. It's like, well, we'll see, I guess. I guess we will see if that's the case or not. Well, and at this point, didn't they almost kind of miss the boat? You look at where all the dominoes have fallen. Like, Seattle's the only team that still needs a quarterback, and they're not going to trade him in the division. Like, granted, someone could get hurt, and he could get moved on later.

But at this point, like, are they going to move him? They're not going to take him. Yeah, I think they're going to cut him. Yeah, because that lets him pick where he goes. Because nobody's going to give him anything. Yeah. Like, what did Nikhil Harry just go for? Seventh round pick in 2024?

Yep. That's hysterical. So I guess Bill got something out of that. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. He's going to turn that seventh rounder into a Hall of Famer. Well, he's probably going to bundle that seventh rounder with another one, and then he's going to get that player, and then he's going to trade that player again,

and then he's going to go get somebody from South Harmon Institute of Technology. Sure. They've got a tough program. They do. Good school. Mentally great, not very intelligent in school, but they fucking can play. But that type of trade, is that something Shanahan and Lynch would do? Or –

Think it like a third-round pick. What if they don't get anything? Will they put him as a backup? Would Jimmy G be Trey Lance's backup? Can they? For 20-some million? Or would Trey and the team just be, if Trey has one bad game, wouldn't. Fans.

Fans. Locker room. Just went to the NFC Championship. Jimmy G's love, too. Everybody loves Jimmy G. That's like when Cam Newton in a locker room. Everybody talks about it. His energy, his aura is going to be distracting if he's not a starting quarterback.

And they're like, oh, can't handle Cam Newton. He's not one of the top 64 quarterbacks in the world. It's like, well, there's more to that when you're building a team, when you're trying to build a guy. And Brandon Bean told us this, the Buffalo Bills, when Cam was available before Josh Allen got signed, after Josh had his second year but hadn't had his third year yet. Yes.

So it was not a great NFL quarterback as a rookie he's a rookie quarterback second year got better third year got better fourth year got better every single offseason before one of them being was asked about by me about Cam Newton being a free agent it feels like hey similar playing style similar style they've been compared to each other wouldn't that be a good guy to bring in the building and being said we are going to let Josh allen know that we are building all the way around josh allen like we we don't want there to be any discussion we don't want there to be any confusion this is josh allen's team if you bring jimmy g back and trey lance is there and jimmy g is your backup

and he's beloved by everybody how do you just turn off that switch i'm not 100 sure how you do it as just a common sense team building camaraderie building energy atmosphere environment mindset i have no idea how you do it but jimmy g has been able to handle every situation with grace and class so maybe that's the case well and there are teams out there where he could go like i feel like the giants the browns i feel like the giants with daniel jones they didn't pick up his fifth year option it's his last year in his contract like why wouldn't dable just be like, you know what? Let's just bring in Jimmy G, who's a proven starter who Dayball can definitely work with.

They don't really have any studs at wide receiver, but Jimmy's a good enough quarterback. That feels like a spot that'd be perfect for him. And maybe Saquon takes a step. Maybe the O-line gets better because they drafted Evan Neal. They have a bunch of different pieces they can work with,

and if Jimmy G comes in, he could just make that team immediately better. Yeah, and the talk about Daniel Jones is, is this going to be his year with Dayball? Because all offseason, he's looked like a Madden character playing cornhole. Yeah, exactly. That's right. That's how you play a ball. Daniel Jones has joined the likes of Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson

as he is now a multi-sport professional athlete at the same time. Jones has fetched himself a three-year deal with the American Cornhole League after chewing up the minor leagues all summer. All summer. All summer this guy's slicing and dicing on the boards. He's got

the sticky side, the slide side. Daniel Jones got it all figured out. And why does that photo of him look like it's out of the Oculus? Oh, yeah. It's ridiculous. Is he an actual human? Is this real? I don't know.

The motherfucker's good at cornhole, which tells me something. He's got good muscle memory. He's an athlete. Will that carry over to him being a great NFL quarterback, especially with the debut of those throwback jerseys that they just put out there? I saw Saquon Barkley, who looks healthy, said he's ready to do his thing. Was it just terrible coaching? Is that what we'll look back on on Daniel Jones' entire career?

I've got a soft spot for him. For Daniel? For that reason and because he's the most athletic quarterback in the NFL. But, I mean, his coaching situation was was not a i mean are you saying he's the most athletic because he just fetched a three-year deal multi-year deal with that the big thing is we make so much money off of daniel jones also longest rush every single game daniel jones is going to hit the over for whatever the longest rush is in his rush yards he's going to hit the over every single time blazing speed he's got some luck his rush yards, he's going to hit the over every single time. Blazing speed.

He's got some luck in him. Where no play left behind. He has big speed, and over the last few years of his career, the team's kind of been dead. So he's scrambling for his life, doing his thing. Draft night, he was mocked and ridiculed

for even being selected. Who the fuck's this nerd? What? Never even heard selected. Sure. Who the fuck's this nerd? What? Who's this? Never even heard of this guy. Gets buried. Goes in there. That team is a fucking,

what, dumpster fire? Oh, yeah. Shit show. That'd be a compliment. So much so, the owner actually is on record saying, I'm tired of having to explain

to you other billionaires why I fucking stink so much. So it is, and Saquon gets hurt. Offensive line gets hurt. There's been turnover. People said Jason Garrett, being his offense coordinator, probably didn't help.

I think Golden Tate actually said that. So I believe if you're in Daniel Jones' family or friend group, you're saying, this guy's been fucked over literally since day one. Draft night, nobody gave him a chance. He got buried. Coaching change, coaching change. Now he's getting an opportunity to go with a guy that can go, though, right? Definitely.

You would think. Day ball can go, right? And this is the first time where I think any of us, not that Joe Judge isn't a fucking guy, and I appreciate the fact that he had a booze and pizza party for the boys. What? Fucking wheeling in beers for the coaches after they got fired out of nowhere. And he was a special teams guy.

They were also doing push-ups in full pads at training camp as if they're 10-year-olds and doing that whole thing. So I, you know, there's a lot of, if it works, by the way, we're talking about it, it's awesome. Yeah. It didn't work, which we kind of assumed was going to happen at the place because these are adults and not, you know, children. But this is the first year it feels like Saquon looks healthy, feels healthy, has a chip on his shoulder.

Did they fix the offensive line problems at all? I mean, they did. Evan Neal. The Bama dude. And now they've got an offense coordinator that seems to know what the fuck he's doing, right, who has had success at a very high level. First-round pick last year, also an O-lineman.

So Daniel's got to be thinking to himself, hey, this is the first year uh maybe i'll have a full opportunity to show whether or not i'm gonna be an nfl quarterback let me go hit these boards also man yeah and it has to be because yeah well the new york media should love this too i'm sure they won't bring this up you know giants start one and eight and they're gonna be talking about is daniel jones yeah he's got that back to back years they drafted a offensive lineman with andrew thomas and then evan neal going to be talking. It's Daniel Jones. He's got that three-year-old. Back-to-back years, they drafted an offensive lineman

with Andrew Thomas and then Evan Neal. And they also got John Feliciano, who we know is a dog. They got Feliciano out of Buffalo? Uh-huh.

Hey, out of Miami. University of Miami, right? Feliciano? Is that where he went? Yeah. I think so. I believe he went to University of Miami.

Buffalo. He's been on this show. They got Glowinski from the Colts. West Virginia guy. Got their center back. Shadle Muse. Broke his leg in the second or third game last year.

Okay. Saquon's back. Jones is back. Bring in some imported dogs on the offensive line. Change the tone of that entire group. I think Glowinski and Felicia Long are going to be dogs. I think they're going to be gonna be dogs i think they're gonna be pretty good brothers yeah i think they're gonna be pretty good fanny galladay they paid

him a bunch of money last year two years ago yeah he was hurt all year he was so bad last year well did dana jones have any time to throw the ball did they have an offense coordinator any fucking idea what he was doing what garrett hadn't called plays in 12 years 13 years no and this will be this will be what? What? How did that happen? How is that the decision for the Giants? I mean, they made a few decisions. Now this is his fourth play caller, right? In his fourth year.

Yeah, Dan Orlovsky's out there like, you all worry about Matt Jones is fucking not having an offense coordinator. And I appreciate Orlovsky's brain and thoughts and that thought. But Daniel Jones, this is the first year where looking at the season anybody with a brain goes all right might not be completely fucked this year show us show us something this year if you want to continue playing quarterback don't just win us prop bets no no don't just win us profits let's go and get it let's the giants debuted in a throwback jersey that they're going to wear a few times.

A bunch of other teams also have new jerseys and throwback jerseys. This Giants one is clean. They had LT in there, by the way, in the video. He was pointing out Super Bowl trophies they won, walking through the building. Is he making a comeback? He could. He looks like he could probably still play there.

LT. I just mean as a person is he making a comeback, not so much as a player. I don't think I know enough about LT immediately. As soon as I saw him, I said, oh, LT, I think was my first thought. LT's been through some stuff, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, big time.

Oh, yeah. I think him and Marino travel in the same circles. Yeah. Did the Bills put OJ in their new jersey video? What are you talking about? Well, I mean, I'm not saying that's anywhere close to LT, but he also has a decorated past. I don't know.

They debuted the throwback and trying to get the old G-Men days back. That's right. Ain't that right, Bruce? Hey. Hey, all you suits out there, we're going to get a team back out here in New York. Go Giants. Yeah, we stink with so many Jets. Hell yeah.

I'll tell you what, it's going to be tough for, maybe Cornhole will help win over some fans. The quarterback duel in New York City for fans. Yeah. I think Zach Wilson

checkmate that thing. He went close to Sillian on Daniel Jones. Where's my mom's friend group? I'm going to run through all of them. New York City will love me. So quite an uphill battle,

but this is make or break year for Daniel Jones. If not, Daybo will go get a younger quarterback and say, we got to do what we got to do. We quite an uphill battle. But this is make or break year for Daniel Jones. If not, Daybo will go get a younger quarterback and say, we got to do what we got to do. We did not draft you. We apologize. Daniel Jones has won dinner with a porn star away from winning those fans back over. Let's go to another uniform that got debuted over the last week from the NFL.

This is the San Francisco 49ers. Whoa. The stripes are back. Geez, San Francisco. I didn't see that one. A little old school throwback. And then the Philadelphia Eagles. This one's clean. You know, I think about the punt that went like 99

yards. I forget who it was, but it was by an eagle, I believe, in the Meadowlands. Quarterback, Tom Tupa. Randall Cunningham. Randall Cunningham. Yeah, he punted like 99 yards or something like that. Could pull a Tom Tupa.

Tupa punted for the Giants, I believe. I don't know if he punted for the Eagles. I think he punted for the Eagles for a little bit as well. Maybe. Who knows? Jalen Hurts, here's another guy. Hey, this is your year, pal. Oh, yeah.

This is it. This is a big-time year. They're going all in around him. They brought in, obviously, some weapons for him to throw to. There's no controversy in the locker room behind the scenes. Last year going into the season, the Eagles were a dumpster fire, everybody thought. This year, they've made moves. They've invested in the team.

Jalen's another year around, and these uniforms are going to look good. They might have one of the better chances in the NFC East at least to win the division. Well, you know, for the last nine years, they haven't had a back-to-back winner in the NFC East. That's right. 16. 16 years. Sorry. Let's go to the Atlanta Falcons debuting a brand new helmet.

Look at the Coca-Cola red. What? Wait a minute. Can't. We can't. Fucking Artie Smith isn't going to have this when he finds out. When he catches wind. Yeah.

Yeah. What are you talking about? Is FedEx also? We're not getting into it. We did a lot of. Is Artie Smith the prince? We did a lot of, hey, how you doing? This is how the world works yesterday to people.

I don't know if we need to do it today. That's a good looking helmet though. Oh, yeah. That is a good looking helmet. And Coca-Cola is a company That's been around a long time Oh my god And is What?

What? That is an American treasure Coca-Cola Sponsored by Chick-fil-A too They also have a decorated little pass as well What? That doesn't mean anything The helmet's awesome

They're just not open on Sundays Hey Mario Go look out there Good luck Good luck Mario He's a quarterback huh? No weapons really besides Pits Yeah pits Hey Desmond Ritter He's our quarterback, huh? Yep. No weapons, really, besides... Pits?

Yeah, pits. Hey, Desmond Ritter. He's going to win a Super Bowl in Atlanta, you said. I love Desmond Ritter. Uh-huh. I think Desmond Ritter's a dog. Yeah. And he's going to look good in that helmet and be able to watch Marcus Mariota and hopefully

kind of continue to evolve. Good luck for the Falcons. I... Still got a core Daryl Patterson, too. Well, they drafted Drake London. We'll see if he's good. Yeah, him, too. They kind of put all their chips

in the Deshaun basket and that didn't work out that basket actually ended up just being a little bit too small yeah that basket was nowhere near big enough

how much you guys giving? come back home come on come back come on family Cleveland's offering

$230 million guaranteed you got that? Atlanta's like well alright Jesus Christ. We're $7 billion over budget on the fucking stadium. I don't know if we can necessarily just guarantee $230. Haslam, fuck you.

Marty Blank probably screaming up there, but that Falcons helmet looks good. They could have made a couple calls to Saudi if they really wanted to get there. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Arthur Blank, Home Depot, American Institution. Okay, take it easy. Why isn't Home Depot stepping up and fucking Coca-Cola?

Well, because they got College Game Day. Let's go to the... Smoke Stewart. Let's go to the next. The Panthers in the NFC South debuted some new uniforms as well. The all blacks with the black helmet. That teal blue is so nice. Perfect.

I'm a massive fan of the teal blue. Now, granted, I'm also an ocean starer and a water fan, so I like the good teal blue, a good blue color. Mix that with black. It's a good offset. And the black helmet. Game changer. I fucking love what the Carolina Panthers are doing.

You get the richest owner in the NFL before Bob Walton comes in. Dave Tepper comes in. He's got a 3D animation of a panther jumping around that they paid like $7 million to. They're building a new facility until the town says, fuck you. They got new uniforms. We got a new quarterback. We got a new offense coordinator.

We got a new coach. We got new everything. If we're not going to fucking win, we're going to look good, and we're going to win soon because I'm going to dump every single dollar. Is Christian McCaffrey back this year? Let's see how it goes. Let's keep it moving. Next team that debuted, the New Orleans Saints. Add a little Fleur de Lis onto the cut. Fleur de Lis,

whatever the fuck de lis is. And also, black helmet looks good. The black helmet is always going to be something that we are massive fans of. Good for the Saints. The entire NFC South debuted a new thing. Must be a lot of money going in there. Speaking of new helmet, how about the Houston Texans? Oh, here we go.

Another red one for the Houston Texans. I'll tell you what. Dougie Mills is going to be slicing and dicing down there. I think they got a lot to figure out. Maybe Jackie should be blessed all of these helmets. But that looks good. And the New England Patriots. And they are red and white.

Now, didn't you guys have this before? 2012 was the last time we wore them. Okay. It's going to look amazing. I'm excited. The teams are kind of changing up the game. Now, is that strictly just to get money? Yes.

And to sell more merch? Yes. Maybe. But I like that there's a little innovation. There's a little change. Let's keep this thing optically pleasing. Looks like the owners that have a little bit more money seem to be going in a little bit more, changing some things.

There's always going to be the tradition. There's always going to be the old school. But I like whenever they dabble in the uh the new and those black helmets are going to look clean those new coca-cola helmets down in atlanta are going to be great in houston uh congrats to all the teams that get a chance to buy new merch congrats to all the teams that might make the most moves now instead of in the season let Let's ride. That's right. Let's ride. Now we're two of sports talk here on one of the driest days in the history of sports.

The WNBA is currently one hour and two minutes into a game today. That's right. And we appreciate them doing that. Thank you, ladies. Last night was the MLB All-Star Game. Obviously, that mattered. It ended up in a 3-2 riveting page-turning affair that went late into the evening. And baseball is awesome awesome but it's not

worthy of a conversation because i don't know shit about fuck about it ty schmidt uh all-stars celebrations here a success for the mlb the home run derby going into the home run uh into the all-star game you think they'll look at it hey this was good in la yeah i think so i think so the guy who wins the mvps from la used to you know watch games in the outfield with his dad there's like a lot of cool moments like that a a lot of first-time All-Stars. No real big controversies. Home run derby was fun to watch. Now we just get right back in the season.

Did the polar bear hurt his back? I mean, he got in the game, so who knows. But there is, I mean, this is the kind of thing where maybe seven days from now, eight days from now, he swings again, tweaks something, and then goes on the DL for 10, 15 days. And we might be saying, hey, he pulled something in the derby. I don't know. Just my non-educated eye looking at something.

It's hard not to just be like, looks like that guy tweaked something in his back. But the polar bear seems to be a stallion. Yeah, yeah. We'll get through it. Who knows? Yeah, he'll be able to battle. At Boston Carter, you look fantastic, pal. No bull.

You look good good I appreciate that It's probably because of the No Bulls Those things you talk them up In a fashion That I thought you were maybe bringing The most groundbreaking shoes in the history of shoes Into this office on your feet I took one look at them

I think they're nice The design though literally looks like somebody's No it's a galaxy. So, No Bull is one of those artists that puts shit up on the wall and then just, like, throws paint at it?

Right. Is that what it is? Kind of. It sells for, like, $2 million a pop product because they're so cool. I don't want to brag or anything, but I did just get a notification

because he's a sandbagger for $50,000, the ever traveling, always vacationing, A.J. Ha. What's up, dude? What's up? This is horizontal, so I can't I got the cameras over here, even though it should be up top, so we got, how's it look?

You look great. Perfect. I'm in Saudi Arabia. I'm not in Charlottesville. Ah, quick play. What are you doing? You making a deal. I'm in Saudi Arabia. I'm not in Charlottesville. Ah, quick play. What are you doing? You making a deal? I'm trying to figure things out over here. You guys were so upset yesterday. I'm trying to get things squared away.

Upset. We were not upset. We were strictly just pointing out the hypocrisies of attacking athletes when it appears as if every other company has benefited from the same place. I'm not getting into it we spent all day yesterday was the first time aj where we talked about basically one subject for three hours can't do it again won't do it again but i was yesterday i feel like we really did the world of service aj and we don't know we don't ever do that on this show i i didn't get to see the first hour how was the response from everything online like did you was it what you expected i stayed off my phone last night i assumed there was just a i assume there was people that are on

the one side people on the other side and we didn't really you know it's hard to put out three hours of conversation on the twitter so you got people asking a lot of questions on one particular video and then i'll am i gonna be all, so my copy and link for other Twitter video that has every rebuttal to this fucking person's tweet right here. No, I'm not going to do it. So I just stayed off the internet, watched the All-Star game,

worked out a little bit, did my thing. Seems like you took a trip to wherever you are right now. Did you drive or fly? No, we took a quick flight, you know, like what,

20 hours over here, but we're here now, a little jet lag, we feel good. What was the airport like? Was there a lot of masks? Are you pretty comfortable? Or is there a lot of pressure on you to fly to where you flew right now? No, not a lot of pressure.

For the record, I'm not in Saudi Arabia. I'd probably still be on the plane if I wasn't there. Hey, babe. Yeah, cool, man. I got a quick couple-day trip. I'll be back at Hov home in studio on friday completely random uh that airport in charleston only one of only airport airports that actually close and they open up at like six six in the morning it's the craziest thing what so you get there like at five in the morning you can't get in yet until they open the doors i think quite a few smaller airports do.

That's an international airport. It's a world. In the world. Yeah, do that. But that was just quite a statement, what we're saying. That was quite a statement. Every airport I've been to has never closed. There you go.

Okay, so only airport you've ever been to. Yeah. Yeah, okay, got it. I've been to a couple airports that aren't international, so that is quite a point there. Very weird. I've been to a couple airports where the person that checked me in was also the person taking the bags and the person waving

our airplane down the runway. Five-tool player. Yeah, stud. Yeah. Absolute stallion. Walk in, do TSA, like, oh, this is an interesting relationship with this person. Then you see them, like, literally 15 feet later,

and they're like, hey, what's up, man? I was like, oh, what's up, Bill? It's like, oh, what's up, Bill? You were. Yeah. Well, now I'm taking your bags out and then now I'm checking the plane and I'm going out there. There are some operations like that. I wonder how much covid kind of took those out because there's no flights for a long time. Yeah, definitely a lot.

I mean, there's that one airline. I think it was American that had twelve thousand unmanned flights at the beginning of July? How about them just booking flights as if they had full roster of employees pre-COVID? Yeah, we'll be able to just send out the same amount of flights. We have a real staffing issue for a lot of the planes and a lot of the people that work behind the scenes. Nah, fuck it. If you build it, they will come, right? Yeah, they will, but we won't be able to host them.

We won't be able to. No, not a problem. Let's get all that money. And let's not refund the tickets, by the way. Let's hold on to that money and get them a new, new flight out there. Travel is something that got exposed here over the last year. People who have traveled for like 20 years that I know well, not just one particular commentator, but other people that have traveled with,

they said this has been the worst experience of travel that they have ever had in their entire lives. Was it like that for you or pretty good? I mean, you know, I have a little built-in tough adversity with travel with four young kids, obviously. So doing that is its own situation. But luckily, no cancellations or delays. My wife's been traveling a lot,

and she's continued to travel this summer with work, and she's had tons of issues. Yeah, it's terrible. Everybody hates it. What do you guys got playing down there? You got a noodling down there? I don't know. We actually went out on a sailboat this morning.

They cruised us around and got to see all kinds of stuff, so it's been pretty cool. Traveling with four kids. That's terrible. It's not a vacation. You know that. No one's relaxing, but we're creating memories, man. They're going to remember this for the rest of their life.

Sailboat in the morning, Charleston? That's a very old city, too. It has an older feel to it. I think they've got cobblestone. They've got old-ass buildings. What do you mean? Civil War started right here. Fort Sumter, bro. That's what they say.

They say the first shots were fired from Sumter over here. Oh, that was where they say, don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes. Down there at Sumter. That was Bunker Hill. I think it was Revenant Revolutionary Warfare. Yeah, starring boss. That was Bunker Hill.

Why is it called Bean Time? Because we're just nasty at flicking beans Hell yeah I had to guess No beans are safe I had to guess Flipping beans Flipping beans

Alright let's dive into some sports Will you be watching the ESPYs tonight with all the kids? Steph Curry plays host It should be an incredible evening Obviously there will be a memorable speech tonight that will change the entire world. From who? Who? We don't know.

That's the game. Who's going to? I'm watching. You mean like Jimmy V? Like the wait for the Jimmy V speech? Like somebody's got to do that? Here we go. So you look back and you think about some of the moments through SB's history.

There are some speeches that just captivate the entire world. And then there's a lot of speeches, just like most awards show, where, you know, trying to do one of those. And instead, you get the entire internet world going, oh, shut the fuck up. So there's going to be a lot less shut the fuck ups tonight

and a lot more, hey, that was a very good speech. And I'm excited to see what steph curry does as the host aj i think steph will be great i remember when lebron did it years ago he had all the dance numbers is steph gonna do all that like you think they're all in and he's gonna be performing and doing everything so i saw the commercial he did he basically reenacted all the different sports and it's certainly not his lines no after especially after talking to him at the uh no big deal i got me and steph curry yeah sorry about it sorry about it pretty good pretty clean oh yeah

pretty clean seen the show and those show exists i think that probably means a clip you think that means probably a clip seen a clip or two i'm sure you've seen plenty of clips yeah if you on your high horse are doing something yeah pretty good segment yesterday huh pretty good it was beautiful and then i saw the post you put out when you photoshopped it a bit it was great well that was hey by the way jake hervey here we go made the show better yeah made it every hey way to go way to do that whole thing but yeah talking to Steph, seems like a super cool dude, right? All the interviews, seems like a super cool guy. They had him saying some very hacked shit in this promotion,

in the trailer, in the commercial for it. I'm like, all right, Steph, you're Steph Curry. You're a cool guy. You're a funny guy. You are a dog. Let's fucking go. It all is in, and i think you agree with this because you've had to shoot commercials and cnj let him cut his own promo that's right but a lot

of these things that look terrible and are incredibly corny are things that are written by somebody else who graduated with a degree in something or had success in something and everybody is telling the athlete or whatever like, no, yeah, it was written, this guy, he's a funny guy. You just do the thing, he'll worry about being funny.

Just read it and then flat every single time almost it feels like. So if Steph has some good shit and then puts his own stuff, I think it's going to be, I think Steph's going to crush it. I honestly believe Steph's going to crush it tonight. I still, I absolutely think he's going to crush it, I honestly believe Steph's going to crush it tonight. I absolutely think he's going to crush it,

but he has huge, huge shoes to fill. Wasn't Russ the host last year? Yeah. Russ. No, that was two years ago. Sue and Megan Rapinoe. That one was awesome. Last year was leading man Anthony Mackie.

Oh, that's right. Oh, really? Yeah. Two years ago was the fucking all-star cast of Sue, Megan, and Andrew. Have we not watched the ESPYs in years? What is going on? It's been a long time. Do you think Russ texted Megan and Sue the fucking phone emoji

the morning of the fucking ESPYs? Hey, when he texts you the phone emoji, it means he's dialed in. AJ? Yeah, Diggs let me. I was not aware of that until Diggs texted it to me an hour or two ago, so thank you. Well,

you would have if you were in a group text, you know, the time you decided to leave because you need to fly. Huh? I didn't mean to leave the group text,

you know that. You have to hit six buttons to remove yourself. I just have a hard time. If there's more than three people, the group text is tough for me sometimes.

It's a business, dude. Yeah, what? You work here. Then add me back in. Add me in. No, we're not begging you to be a part of this. It's too late. Suck off, AJ.

You had your chance. Fuck off. There's a lot of things. Keep me out. Keep me out there. That group text, by the way, is good for you. Keeps you up there. I don't want back in there.

I don't want to back in that. Well, fuck. You'll be out in the cold with no knowledge of anything awesome that Russell Wilson's doing. That's right. How about that? Let's ride. All right, let's ride in some topics. Camille Kostick doesn't think that Gronk is done forever.

Oh, wow. She obviously has been dating Gronk, I believe, for years and years now at this point. They're a great couple. Seems like they're always happy together, together a lot, doing their thing. She said, I'm an honest lady. And honestly, in my heart, I didn't feel like this one is a forever one.

So I think maybe he'll come back again. Now, is she, that's via New York Post Sports, who also reported about our questioning of Ian Rappaport in numerous different fashions. Is that them just fucking around knowing that they can? Because if you just even say that, because everybody already knows and thinks that Gronk's going to come back because he's already retired once and then came back.

He's already retired. That is going to be with Gronk forever because he's already had this happen in the public eye. But are they just throwing the pot there? Or is everybody with Gronk forever because he's already had this happen in the public eye. But are they just throwing the pot there? Or is everybody around Gronk? Rosenhaus, who's been his agent and his representative for a long time. His lady, who's been around him for a long time. I don't know what the other brothers, the other four brothers are saying,

but it feels like a lot of people are saying what we're all thinking, which is week 10, week 11, no training camp, no off-season bullshit, not as many hits, and the Bucs are on a run. And Tom Brady gives a call out to old Gronky, you know, who's like one of his best. Hey, we are one piece away from my final season here. Do you want to go? Do you want to play maybe like eight games, nine more games?

It'll be our last games together. It's just Gronk has been steadfast, though. I'll answer the call, but I am retired. I think on Good Morning America he even said, I'll answer the call because I love Tom, but I am retired. But I think the entire world is expecting him to come back. Retirement is not easy. I'd like to see Gronk make a little five-game run, though,

and go, what the fuck? That would be fucking awesome, AJ. That would be awesome. Don't you think Gronk at a little five-game run, though, and go, what the fuck? That would be fucking awesome, AJ. That would be awesome. Don't you think Gronk at least, he may be 95% retired in his head, but he knows, too, like, what if it is about week seven, week eight, looks like the bucks are rolling, Tom's been texting me, my body's feeling good. Like, I think even Gronk knows in the back of his head, hey, why not?

Why not just go throw my helmet out there and catch about 12 touchdowns in six games and win another Super Bowl? Gronk has said he has been very not, not, not, not going to do it. It doesn't matter. You said week seven, week eight. Magic, that's like week 14. No, that's what I mean. When it starts, the groundwork is starting to get late where Tom's like, hey, bud, how you doing?

And Gronk sends like a pic of him flexing. And then all of a sudden, two weeks later, he's even more jacked. I'm like, okay, here we go. Tom's like, I miss you, man. We miss you. Sending selfies from the cafeteria where they're eating. And there's a moment like, having a standard Wednesday. Buh, buh, buh.

Miss us. We got a slushing machine back. Gronk, we're good. Stuff like that. And Gronk replies like, yo, I'm in the middle of my lucrative acting career here, and they just asked me to jump off of a five-foot platform. I can't do that. I'm coming back.

Jeez, Tony. He just acted with Tom in his movie together. Yeah. 80 to Brady. Yeah. I didn't see that one. Well, it's not out yet. Julian Amendolaola Gronky

And Tom All on movie set Full Patriot Regalia Oh yeah That felt good to see him in there A little trip down nostalgia lane All the good old days That's the old woman one?

Yes 80 for Brady or something I believe it is the Seahawks one Just because Gronk didn't play In the Falcons one But yeah That was a nice little trip down memory lane Remember the good old days

I'm sure Mac and the boys will be there this year, though. Not worried. No bull? No bull. I'm no bull. I'm always no bull. This is unbelievable to think about. Because if you're Rob Gronkowski, top 100 player in the history of the league,

the only, like, not the only. Was it him and Tom were the only, like, current? Current players on that team, yeah. Right? They were the only ones on the all hundred team remember that the the century team and gronk is out there just chilling as like a fucking 32 year old next to 75 year olds and 65 year olds whose legacies were you know because you've only seen the bangers of all those people and i i'm not a anti old athletes and old sports but if you think about music sports movies anything you don't see

all the misses that happen all it's only the bangers survive highlights are the only thing that survives unless the person's hated by every media company then they will show but normally it's only the highlights you don't see like the day-to-day grind the downtime the bad plays the holdings the missed assignment the embarrassment embarrassment, the whatever, the missed song, the terrible song that nobody will ever hear two months from now because it played and got disappeared. But the bangers that were created six on. So I think that's why it was so impressive because we've seen Gronk every single, and it almost feels like anytime he plays, he makes plays. There's not like, has there ever been like a, oh, fucking Gronk, bad game today. I don't, honestly, I don't think so, right?

Have we ever seen like a depressed, pissed off, post bad game Gronk? It feels like he did play 20 years ago and we only see highlights because I don't remember a moment where Gronk fucked up terribly. Do you? No, I don't. I don't remember a moment where Gronk fucked up terribly. Do you? No, I don't. I don't remember a big drop or anything like that. And even if he doesn't have a bunch of catches, we know he's still a road grader in the

run game, too, because he's such a great blocker. So, yeah, he'll be back. He's got to come back. The only bad play I ever remember was the Miami end of the game when he was playing safety. Oh, yeah, that was a bad play. Terrible play. Never did it again. He had that knee brace on, too, didn't he? And the elbow brace, I think, is

the other one. He really, his lowlights are all just him getting hurt. It's never him missing a big play. Because in every Super Bowl he's played, and he had two touchdowns with Tampa and Tom. He had the touchdown against Seattle right before the end of the first half. And then he set up the only touchdown of the game against the Rams

in the Super Bowl. Like, all the biggest games. Imagine him making that catch against the Giants if his knee wasn't hurt the one that got deflected, and he's like, what, a foot and a half away from it or whatever? That's like the type of thing that Gronk did, though. Oh, yeah. Like, those plays every single game. I hope we get to see him play football again,

but also I'm happy he seems to be content moving on with his life. Speaking of being content with moving on with their life, this person's life changed drastically in Las Vegas, Nevada, at Money in the Bank. For those that don't know the WWE world, this lovely lady has been around the WWE for some time, ever since she was young. She's been through some things.

She's battled through adversity. She's lost teammates. She's lost friends. She's gone to work. She's gotten through some things. She's battled through adversity. She's lost teammates. She's lost friends. She's gone to work. She's gotten better every single day, every single week. And now,

she is the women's SmackDown champion. And next weekend in Nashville, Tennessee, she will be battling the baddest woman on the planet, Ronda Rousey.

Ladies and gentlemen, Liv Morgan. Yeah! What's up, dude? Guys. What up? What's up, dude? What up? Hey, how are you doing? You're fucking champ now. Is life different? I'm so thankful that we get a chance to interview you. You're

crushing it all. Thank you. Everything feels the same. Everything feels the same. Everything feels good. I'm just enjoying it. I'm just trying to absorb it still, honestly. I don't know. I woke up today, SmackDown Women's Champion, so I can't complain. Everything's great. Hell yeah.

I saw you traveling with that thing. You were eating with that thing. Oh, I did everything with this thing. This thing, I sleep with this thing. It sits in passenger seat in my car rides. Just soaking it all in. Liv, when did you know you were going to be a WWE superstar? Is this a dream since you were a kid?

Did it kind of evolve? How did you get into were going to be a WWE superstar? Is this a dream since you were a kid? Did it kind of evolve? How did you get into the entire business? Yeah, so, I mean, the first time I watched WWE, I knew that that's what I was going to do. I feel like it was kind of like escapism for me, you know, as I've gotten older and, like, realizing why I fell in love with wrestling so much. You know, the character is a story. But pretty much the first time I laid eyes on it,

I knew that's what I was going to do. And then, so, you know, fast forward a couple of years, I'm working at a Hooters and Joe DeFranco walks in, Joe DeFranco. He's very world-renowned strength and conditioning coach. He kind of just trains, you know, premier top athletes. He was training Triple H at this time which he still does and so um all right what are you gonna say something yeah the midnight workouts remember triple h was posting his fucking midnight on his instagram this dude's like 45 him and stephanie both like 45 50 years old it's like 12 30 at night these motherfuckers are sweating their asses off almost puking another midnight workout i'm like god you are such better humans than me you were such a workout yeah it was awesome so that's joe d was the one that connected you and

you got into it from hooters yeah to smackdown fucking champion live let's go how many insane i'm i'm dead at it all it's insane go ahead aj how do you what's that path like though how long was that path from when you first he came in discovered you to now yeah so that was when i was um 19 years old i was 19 years old and then by the time i received my wwe tryout i had just turned 20 and then i've been signed with wb since october 27th 2014 so it's been just crazy journey that feels like meant to be like i was in the right place right time and just got super blessed and super lucky well i think the thing about you is your energy is always positive always positive especially being around since 2014 everybody knows how wwe is traveling drama politics your friends get fired there's i mean there is just

so much that could potentially weigh you down it feels like you've always had a super positive energy do you think that's because you feel like you're at home do you approach every single day like it's your first day why do you think you've been able to maintain the optimism and positivity through it all I think I just I I love it so much I feel like it changed my life. It changed my family's life. Obviously, there are hard days. There are days where I felt like, you know, I'd never be champion, but just the potential that maybe, you know, kind of just kept me going. And I felt like I owed it to myself just to see how good I can be. Like, I didn't want to look back and feel like I wish I had tried harder I wish I had worked harder I wish I had done this or that so I really just try to take it day by day and just do the

best that I can oh you're crushing it you working in the ring is something that you know never really gets talked about everybody sees the shows live and then you hear about the house shows but you I think why it's so cool and why me and cole lose our mind what happens is like you want to work like on the off days like hey i need to get better i want to get better and you just said you want to like no stone unturned basically hey how where's your ceiling what do you want to continue to do and when you walk in there with uh a fresh wonder rousey next saturday what's going to be going through your mind in there with a fresh Ronda Rousey next Saturday. What's going to be going through your mind in front of a fucking stadium there for you, Liv?

A stadium is going to be there for you. There's so many things that I think. There's so many things that I think about. Like, one, you know, I know I'm walking into my own championship match as the underdog. my own championship match as the underdog. I know that people think that I'm only champion because I cashed in on a less than 100% Ronda Rousey. That's money in the bank. That's what the suitcase you're supposed to do that. I know, I know, but you know,

I feel like I'm walking into this match where, you know, I'm the underdog. People are doubting. Can I pull through with a Ronda Rousey? That's at 100%. And so, you know, I'm the underdog. People are doubting, can I pull through with a Ronda Rousey that's at 100%. And so, you know, I've sat with this, and I've thought about it. And do you know why I know I'm going to, Pat? Is because, one, I love it more than her, and I want it more than her. And then also, like, I didn't, like, working at Hooters, there was UFC nights. I'm serving wings, and I'm watching Ronda Rousey dominate in the UFC. it more than her and then also like i didn't like working at hooters there was ufc nights i'm serving wings and i'm watching ronda rousey dominate in the ufc and as i'm serving wings

to my customers right i'm watching her just kill it um but i didn't grow up wanting to be a mixed martial artist i didn't grow up wanting to be a ufc champion i didn't want to i didn't grow up wanting to be an olympic athlete i grew up wanting to be a WWE champion. And so I'm a WWE superstar through and through that lives and breathes and dies for this business. So that's why I'm going to survive Ronda Rousey and I'm going to defend my championship. And I'm going to win SummerSlam SmackDown Women's Champion. Yeah! For those that don't know, Liv won the Money in the Bank briefcase in Las Vegas at Money in the Bank. She had to climb a ladder.

Seven other competitors in there. Women. She fucking ladders. Bro, hey, how about the ladder? How about the ladder fall? The ladder falls, tips over. She balances on the top rope with the ladder, sideways on two things. Kicks it back up.

Fucking goes on to do her thing. Sunset flip bomb, I think, off the top. I mean, you fucking killed it. Then you go on to become champion. We're all very excited to watch. I can't wait. Go ahead, Connor. Yeah, Liv, was there anyone growing up while you were watching the WWE

that kind of inspired you? Would it be someone that you would honestly want to have a a run with maybe as you are a WWE SmackDown champion? Yeah I feel like Lita you know she was the kind of first female wrestler that I feel like I resonated with. She wrestled the boys, she wore baggy pants and I grew up with four older brothers that I you know wrestled with in my backyard. I considered myself such a tomboy. So here's this woman that's working the boys and wearing baggy pants and sneakers. I saw her and thought, you know, maybe she could be my friend. And that's something that kind of I hope to give my fans.

But, Lita, I feel like we'd have an amazing program. Oh, hey, what just happened there? That feels like that was a whenever you see the ww universe has taken to you you know over the last like two years i think you've been super duper over and uh i think it's well warranted and earned. But there is like the we're here for live signs everywhere. How is that just like getting a chance to experience the fans that you have worked your ass off for, like show appreciation for you? Like that had to be a pretty cool little moment that you're probably you're still in the middle of right now. But could you feel that? Did you know when that was starting to happen and what was it like?

Yeah, I feel like around Money in the Bank last year leading into it. I remember I'd cut this one promo on Smackdown that was during commercial break and they'd asked me, how do I feel going into Money in the Bank? And I just said, you know, this is my time. How excited I was. And the crowd broke out and you deserve a chance. And I feel like that was kind of like the first time that I realized the support that I had. And then ever since then, you know, it's kind of just elevated and taken this life of its own. But I just feel like it's because, you know, the crowd knows me, they know my heart.

They've been watching me do this the last eight years without, you know, any promise of anything you know so they just they want me to succeed and it's made all the difference i feel like i wouldn't be in this position if it weren't for them they've kind of made it like undeniable for me oh undeniable you mentioned watching seeing ronda rousey fight when you were working and serving wings and stuff uh were you a fan of ronda's are you a fan of hers now? Like, is it going to be weird to go against her again? I was a fan of Ronda. I still am a fan of Ronda.

You know what she's done for women's sports. Like I said, women's wrestling in general, you know, that is also undeniable. But I feel like my life is on the line. You know, it feels so much bigger than defending my championship. This is what I worked my whole entire life for. So it's just not anything that I take lightly. I have to, I don't know how to prepare necessarily, you know, prepare to get my ass kicked. Who knows?

But all I know is I'm going to survive. I'm going to take and I'm going to eat every single thing she gives me. Because like I said, I love her. Oh, hell yeah. I want this number and it means more to me. Let's go, Liv. I know. I know, I love this. I want this. It means more to me. Let's go, Liv! I know.

I'm prepping myself now. Liv, I saw on your Twitter that you are a fellow Paisan. Does that give you a connection to Pat when he's on the announcer's table then? Because he's a fellow Paisan. And is there any chance you're going to do Swantonny Bombini against Rhonda this weekend? Swantonny Bombini against Ronda this weekend? The Swantonny Bombini is one of my finishers.

Obviously, I missed theory on that. But let's not remind Corbin of what could be coming. How does it feel to carry on the legendary Paisan tradition in the WWE? And maybe a Swantonny. New moves debuting in SummerSlam? Are you here or is it? Hey, let's go back to our foundation. I have to be as prepared as I can be.

So, of course, you know, I'm in the ring. I'm working on some new stuff. Maybe I'll get a chance to whip it out. Maybe I won't. I'm going to have to kind of wait and see. I've never done a Swanton. You know, maybe that's the missing piece. Maybe that's the seal. It's a Swanton've never done a swanton. You know, maybe that's the missing piece. Maybe that's the seal.

It's a swanton. It's a swanton. There's a fly in here. Yeah, the fly wants to be around the greatness there. It's a swanton bombini. Okay? Swanton bombini. Swanton bombini.

Listen, it might make an appearance. It might make an appearance in Nashville. I might have to bring it out. Go ahead, Ty. Well, if you're going to do it, I can't do it. No, you do it better. You're the fucking champ. No, you do it.

It's your stuff. It's your stuff. I've only had one match. True, though. That's also Jeff's stuff. Go ahead, Ty. Liv, you guys obviously are traveling everywhere you work a lot and you're the you know the women's champion but do you like will you get

jitters before you go out uh to like any of these events like whether it's wrestlemania or one or the other premium live events like do you still get jitters when you go out in front of the crowd you know there's a hundred thousand plus people out there uh you know expecting greatness from you yeah i mean um i pace back and forth i'm a big pacer i'll walk in a circle i'll just circle circle circle my stomach will hurt i'm like oh don't use the bathroom you know i'm freaking out but you know it's so crazy and since i've become champion i'm still nervous but i'm so much more relaxed it like you know just gave me kind of like a validation that I hate that I need it. I'm much more, I feel like, composed. Still nervous because I feel like if you don't get nervous,

you don't really care. But it's different nerves. Confidence, right? Champ nerves. They're champ nerves. Oh, champion nerves. Champion nerves. Like feeling as if you said validation,

and then you get the crowd saying like you deserve it. And I mean, anytime somebody has a title over their shoulder in the WWE, it means that, you know, a lot of people in very important places in the business are like, hey, she fucking deserves this right now. And it's also a lot. By the way, it's also a lot of like for the good of the company. Like, hey, this is it. Your merch sales have been crushing. The signs for people have been up. The pop that you get is huge.

Hey, you're good for business too, Liv. You got to fucking, I hope you fully comprehend that. I guess I could get distracted, but you're fucking good for business too, Liv. Thank you. I try not to, honestly, I just try to do my best. I try not to look into it. I try not to read into it. I just try to show up and do my best, but it means so much to me because I kind of came up in an era where we were just kind of discovering the four horsewomen, you know, and, um, kind of feeling like I'm getting lost in the

shuffle of these amazing women. And so, you know, to not be a four horsewoman, to not be a generational superstar, to not have any famous friends or family, to just have done this just on, you know, hard work. It means so, so much to me to kind of, you know, be recognized. And I hate that for me. You hate that? Well, I don't want to, you know, have to feel like I need to be recognized, but it totally, I totally did. Oh, here it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got got it so it's kind of a constant inner struggle why do i need this but i feel like i shouldn't need this but then when you got it you got excited about it yeah yeah i

understand it happens to me every fucking day behind the glass uh nick has a question for you fellow paizon as well here huh fellow paizon hey live speaking of being recognized have you had a chance to meet the young phenom Ezekiel he's the younger brother of Elias yeah you know I've come across him a couple different times it's crazy because his vibe his aura whoa

AJ there was that one interview they just done for some I've never seen it haven't seen it it. I haven't seen it since. But I don't know. Ezekiel kind of keeps his distance, so I just let him do his thing.

Zeke's number one freak. So Zeke, she has seen Zeke. She's seen them both. Hey, that sucks for you, doesn't it, AJ? Huh? She just kind of dunked on your face right there. Have you ever seen them together? Well, it is weird. It looks like, yeah, I fucking Well, yeah. And Liv's like,

yeah, I fucking did actually. Thank you for that, Liv. That puts a lot to bed. Let's go. We just did an interview together.

Yeah, I know. Yeah, exactly. Hey, Liv, thank you so much for joining us.

Good luck next Saturday. Good luck this Friday. Can't wait to watch what you do. And you're crushing it, dude. You should enjoy the hell out of it

and I hope you are. I am. Thank you. Thank you, guys. Hope you have a hell out of it and I hope you are. Yeah, I am. Thank you. Thank you, guys. Hope you have a good day. Ladies and gentlemen, the champion, Liv Morgan.

Yeah! How do you feel about that? Like a fucking idiot? She just called him a mark. Eat shit, Mark. Exactly. Let everybody get their... Let's get to a break.

Let's get to a break. Thank you to Liv for joining us. She's, I assume, very, very busy with PR right now. Yeah. I assume. Yeah, it was awesome. Hey, Liv, would you want to have Liv on the show? What day?

Wednesday? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, cool. Thank you to the WWE PR for making that happen. Thank you to Liv for Something by. That is a real thing. You should see the little kids at these shows.

What do you mean? I brought them. I came to a premium live event. My kids believe me. I saw up close. They don't even follow it that close, but they were absolutely in awe, and they love Roman Reigns.

Every one of them now, too. Yeah, well, travel cheese. Come on. Good chance to have a hundred days. Come on, you have to. I mean, that makes sense. But like whenever, when like Liv comes out, these little girls, the reactions in like the awe. And I'm not around a lot of little humans.

It is. It's just a full, and at that moment, there might be an inspiration that is set in a life that's changed. It's like super super it's a really cool thing to get to watch live every single Friday night I'm very fortunate to do so I've watched that firsthand like my daughter loves basketball plays soccer she likes it she loves basketball we went to Ohio State girls basketball game the point guard she's a stud she's from Dublin and that it gave my daughter like legit confidence like I could possibly do this something

that's her dream is to play point guard at Ohio State and whatever, continue to play. And now it's like a reality because we saw that girl play and that girl coached her at camp. So, believe me, it is super powerful. Hey, your daughter's smacking wood or whatever on defense side of the ball? Hell yeah. She's trying to.

I hated playing defense. So, luckily she plays harder on D than I do. But she'll get her shots up. She'll get her shots up. She'll get up 25 shots in a game. There it is. All-time leading tackler in the history of the Green Bay Packers. Hates playing defense.

Defense in basketball is terrible. I hate playing defense. Prove to me you can hit a three-point shot. That's what you got to do. Yeah. What happens if you can? Then prove it. You can do it over and over and over again.

The constant bend bend It's tough And then exposure You can get got in basketball Anytime Bad And me making fun of you for hating defense I don't think I have ever once tried on defense in a pickup basketball game Ever

No Ever Actually, full conversations before games What's your style? You trying? I'm playing a few weeks or whatever Okay, well this ain't my fucking guy Somebody got him He's the same exact size as you before games. What's your style? You trying? Well, I haven't played in a few weeks or whatever. Okay, well,

this ain't my fucking guy. Somebody got him. He's the same exact size as you. No, this guy's built different than me. What are you doing? You shooting threes? Yeah, I'll probably shoot

threes, hang out. All right. Perfect. Sounds good. I got this guy. This is my guy right here. So it's a little different, I guess, whenever it's

actually competitive and for a league and potential scholarship and stuff like that. But I do like the fact that she has mentors and people look up to outside of her own father on both ends of the court. AJ. Yeah.

They need stuff outside of, you know, kids don't listen to their parents, so they need other people. Is that real? Ty, you're a debt. A little early for that,

but we'll find out. At what stage does, yeah, she started listening to the show. Uh, probably, I mean, all she does is eat and sleep right now.

She's not doing a whole lot else. You've got a lazy kid. Or lack thereof. Are you worried about work ethic? Is this the alpha generation? What is this? Oh, my God. Do we know what generation?

I haven't looked into that yet. I'll have to do that. I think it's the alpha. Okay. That's a good generation to be in. Hey, AJ. Pass on the next generation. Remember that?

I do remember that. Yes, I do. But are you sure you're not in the alpha generation? Alpha. Checks out. Wow. Let's go.

That generation's gonna stink. I don't know. I think that generation's gonna do it. The next one's gonna be tough. That generation's gonna do it. Oh, yeah, yeah. Because weak times.

Hard times. Soft asses. Strong men. Huh? Yeah, soft times. Hard hands equals soft asses. Got it. Nailed it. Soft times, bro. Soft asses. Strong men. Huh? Yeah, soft times. Hard hands equals soft asses. Me up. Soft times.

Good, JB. So Alpha will be. I got some. Not doing it. We did it yesterday. I was about to say I have a source. Oh, you didn't see the breaking news? In live.

What? Oh. Not live golf. Live golf, not live more. There's other overseas breaking news. What happened? You know, a certain trick shot team. It's under some fire.

Who? Javawonkis? Zito just said something in my ear, but I don't know. Zito is Zito. Dude Perfect. I trust. Yeah. That's what Zito just said in my ear.

Dude Perfect. Actually. I think that's exactly my reaction. I think they're sponsored by Cutter and people are not happy. Dude Perfect's taking Cutter money. Wait, Cutter the gloves or Cutter the country? The gloves would be awesome. Cutter the country.

Dude Perfect is in bed with Cutter? Just real quick. Are all these people that are mad. Dude Perfect is in bed with Cutter? Just real quick. Are all these people that are mad at Dude Perfect not going to watch the World Cup? Because then... Wait, are people really mad at Dude Perfect? What would they do? I don't know.

I have no idea. I'm just piecing together. I would be mad if it was the gloves, AJ. Because who knows who they're in bed with. I thought the gloves may have been Saudi backs, the cutter gloves. Yeah. That would have been possible.

They are so good. Those gloves are so good. They're sticky, so sticky. Did you wear them or no? No, but I loved them. I did like them. I couldn't wear them because they were too sticky. So literally, I couldn't get the ball off the glove to punt it.

It was like it would do that. But every once in a while, if I want to go fuck around and practice, I go to like one of the teammates. Hey, you got some of those cutters? Yeah, all right, pull. Rip them apart in the bag and then put them on your hand

and then somebody just throws it and you don't even have to squeeze your hands. That thing just would hit the thing and just, uh-oh, there's a catch. You look like the Sticky Finger Bandits. That's what those cutter gloves were.

They got banned from the NFL. They just can't fucking use these. Not only are they not paying, but also people that have zero. You could put that on your forearm. You could just tape one of those on your forearm. Those were awesome gloves. Those things were amazing. Next level.

You're telling me the league banned them? Yeah, I think so. Remember because he had. A while ago. Yeah. That was when I was playing still. I don't know. See, I never wore them.

I always wore... Well, I wore... I think it was Reebok gloves when I first got in the league and then Nike. Yeah. Just team. Nike, obviously the best. Nike's are awesome. Bro, there's some Jordan.

I took my son to get some gloves for football this year. Brandon Jordan has some unbelievable football gloves right now. They are sweet. Grip or look or feel? Everything involved. All of the above. North Carolina has some unbelievable gloves that are also Jordan Brandt. They're so sweet. What were those gloves that got sent to us that were the stickiest

gloves of all time? They were like cutters. They're basically like cutters. Was that the one you were catching passes on? Yeah. Now, I will say, without the cutter or this, I can do that catch whenever. All right, now, I had to catch, like, thousands of balls like this for holding. So, hands pretty good.

Pretty solid. But it is nice when you just have to basically smack something. Yeah. And it's like, all right, I got it. Catching the side of a ball on, like, a 40-mile-an-hour pass. Let me grab this thing. It's insane. all right, I got it. Catching the side of a ball on like a 40-mile-an-hour pass. Let me grab this thing. It's insane. That is cheating.

That's what all the old heads, old wide receivers are pissed off about, right? Yeah, because they used, if they had gloves, they used the old school Newmans. Remember the Newmans? I had a pair of Newmans I got when I was in third grade that all three of our brothers, we all shared because it was that big a deal. And they were old and wool and not sticky at all. And what was that shit they used to dive into?

It was like a... Stick them. Yeah, gorilla grip type deal. I remember watching like old NFL footage of guys in locker rooms like diving into it.

At one point, it had to be burned. It was like, no shit, these dudes. I think it was like, maybe even like some out of trees.

What comes out of trees? Sap. I think it was like some people using sap and shit on their hands think it was like, maybe even like some out of trees. What comes out of trees? Sap. I think it was like some people using sap and shit on their hands. It was like, ever since the beginning of time, people are going to try to get an edge. And then Cutters came through and was like, don't you worry about it. We'll fucking just put goddamn duct tape on your hands. You'll have to do a thing. That's right.

Right. Oh, wow. I think that was pissed for us. It's a disrespect. Jesus Christ. How can we I'm on a delay From you guys

First off I said it right on time Oh that's our fault Obviously You go on your Seventh vacation How do we get Better internet

Diner Is there any way To get Internet's okay But it's FaceTime Because when I do it Even back home With you know

Axel? You got a lot of stuff happening, bro. We're good. The beginning of the last hour, when you were starting. Hey, by the way, real quick before you get that, Vedder took a dump on the little baby sailboat we were in. Let's go. Beast.

I had to pump it. It's a marine toy. You got to pump it to get it out. I'm just pumping this little turd everywhere. It was terrible. I was like, yeah. That's awesome. What were you saying?

Well, what I was going to say is maybe there was a little bit of a lingering effect from the dump on the sailboat. You did not seem to be about anything the beginning of last hour. I asked you a couple of questions. You were giving me four word answers. Do you remember that? Four word answers. Like, what of it?

It's like, are you guys okay? No no this is my problem i get distracted okay so this stupid camera that follows me around this new ipad at least on my end of the screen right now it cuts off half my face is that how it shows on the feed no it looks very good okay good because if you see if you notice i've been chasing this camera all day long i'm i gotta stop doing that now can you get up real quick and see how much it will follow you? No. Oh! It works. Hey, that thing's going wherever you go, pal. That thing works for you. That's really

cool. That's sweet. Actually, it's pretty good. That's the Al Michaels setup. Yeah. Thank you, Al. That's awesome. I don't think he created it. I'm just saying like this. I wasn't talking very much. I wasn't giving him any work. It seemed like you were going through it at the time. It seemed like, oh, this guy is going through it.

We're just sprinting place to place, downpour. All of a sudden, yeah, we're good. What is going on? Kids are soaked. Was it raining while you were on the sailboat? No, no. We got back. That would have been Truman Show.

Yeah. You know what I mean? Anyways, we're thankful you make time for us on your vacation. You're the absolute best, AJ. Thanks for pumping the poop out of the sailboat from Vedder. The Talks of the Table is here. Ty Schmidt, Boston Connor, one half of the Hammer, Diamond Cowboys, Tone Diggs is here.

We appreciate the hell out of you. And joining us now is a massive ordeal. Oh, yeah. Here we go. This is a massive ordeal. Oh, yeah. Here we go. The Emmy Award winning show of Good Morning Football had a role to fill.

They needed a host. They scoured the globe. Who can handle three hours? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Monday through Friday, all year round, talking NFL football all the time. Who has the juice? Who has the energy?

Who can go in there and make the Emmy award-winning show better? You know who they tapped into? Who? A former college basketball player and fast-pitch softball player. Somebody that has covered college basketball, college football, and NFL football. An absolute badass, the new host of Good Morning Football, ladies and gentlemen, Jamie Erdahl. Yay! How are you? What's up?

Hey, congratulations. Hey, congrats. Big time show. I can't believe I convinced him that I was the person to do all that Well listen the humility you just displayed there Is probably the reason why We've obviously all seen you work You're incredible, you're professional, you're smooth

Your transitions are great What is it going to be like hosting Good Morning Football Have you ever hosted a show before And have they had you go through any classes Have you had any practice runs How did this whole process go? I've hosted now and again, mostly college basketball stuff during the regular season,

you know, halftime, post-game shows, whatnot. CBS has some digital stuff that I did. I used to do like a lot of fantasy football. When I first got to CBS, you know, I've done sports talk radio here and there, but when it comes to 15 hours of television a week, never before. So, you know, lock and load.

Do you have a previous relationship with Shregs or Kyle or anybody else on set there? It's a rowdy group of boys you're walking into. No, literally. I didn't even meet him until I had the job. We've done one secret show that we'll laugh about five years from now because, you know, we got into it on a couple of different topics.

And we just were like, this is something we're going to remember for a long time. And but it was awesome. We went and had lunch after we had some beers. We hung out and we just were like, this is this is going to be a good thing. So but Monday, when we start together, I find this like the more I think about it, um, like everyone's just going to watch us grow together on live television because we really haven't been able to do much just because they're still doing the show. They want to enjoy their vacation. You know, it's, it's, you know, life stands in the way.

So we're just going to roll with it on Monday. Yeah. They're coming out of like what a three month vacation or just about. So, I mean, that should be, uh, uh you you guys should hit the ground running together yeah um what was the whole audition trial process like was it was there a lot you said you didn't meet cow or shregs beforehand but was there a lot of face-to-face meeting a lot of like tape what was it like the to get the gig? Because, hey, everybody wanted that job, Jamie. Everybody wanted that job. It was a lot of, just a lot of conversations with a lot of people that are in charge of the show or have their hands on the show.

And it just, it wasn't so much like testing my knowledge or, you know, I think they trusted that I had the background and the TV chops to do it. It was more that, as you guys just said, like this is a lot of TV and it's a lot of football year round and you have to have the stamina and the creativity to be able to hang. And it's almost an easier job in season, right? Like on Mondays, you're talking about 12 games. On Tuesdays, you're wrapping up the whole weekend. Wednesdays, you start to have fun with it a little bit, looking at the next week. But are you having fun in May and June? And are you coming up with stuff to talk about on July 20th? And that's the kind of the person that they wanted. And again, somehow I told them

it was me. Okay. So you've always been around sports though. Love sports. What is it about sports that you love and why have you found such an appreciation for football, you think? such an appreciation for football, you think? I'm just, I'm very competitive. I, like, you can't, I can't see, like, a ball laying around a gym. If, like, the team hasn't showed up yet, like, I'll go out and I'll start shooting. I have to scamper off when the team comes out to warm up. If the football's laying around on the field, I'll flip it, you know, until somebody shows up and tells me to put it down.

A lot of juice. Got juice. Got a lot of juice. Got a lot of juice. I'm sad. I'm sad that I wasn't better at anything that I did, that I didn't get to do something professionally. I just love being around it. If it wasn't going to work out for me being on sports TV, frankly, I didn't really like love being on TV enough at the beginning. Like I wasn't going to go do the weather or the news. Like I was just going to go work for a team or a college. Like I just wanted to be around sports. It wasn't really about like seeing myself on camera you've been on

in sports in big positions for a while now but this is a whole new game hey emmy award win yeah that's right are you moving to new york have you lived in new york in the past and what's the transition to like now hey a lot of a lot of happy hours right yeah a lot of have a lot of hands shaking a lot of that shit right i mean that's really what yeah 4 a.m wake up it's a whole new game right it's a whole new life yep so my husband and i lived in new york when we were dating and we're both from minnesota we went back there when we started having kids and we've been in minnesota for a couple years but now now we are moving three year old, one year old and the 80 pound black lab to New Jersey. And we bought a house in New Jersey.

And that's where we're going to our home base is going to be. And I'm going to go to the city every day at 445 and hang out with some of the investment bankers, I guess, on Wall Street. And, yeah, it's awesome. But really the blessing here is that I don't have to travel anymore, which is amazing to say around my kids. You know, I told my three-year-old I get to put the suitcase away, and that's fantastic. And I get to put my kids to bed every night.

So it's great. Hell, yeah. Is your husband excited about the move? And what's he going to be doing in New York? Yeah, yeah. So his company is based in New Jersey. It's just great for our whole family. Like in football season last year, for example, like we saw each other on Sundays. Maybe we passed each other in the airport on Thursdays like we were on the road constantly. And so this move, while it's fantastic professionally,

it really fits our family because now he gets to just go to his office. I'm sitting in his office right now. Actually, he gets to go to his office and i bum off his wi-fi because we're living in an apartment right now in the middle of new jersey it's not good for all the close quarters but um yeah we all get to be under one roof again which is great what's the quote on the wall there in your husband's office and have you learned anything about him since going in there and fucking working from there um it's if you're going to be a bear, be a grizzly. Oh! Hey!

He don't fuck around. Listen, in a world full of gazelles, be a lion. Everybody wants to be a lion until it comes time to do what lions have to do. What? What's he do? Is he a motivational speaker? Is he Gary Vee?

Are you married to Gary Vee? Holy shit. I know. No, I am not. But he might be the Gary Vee second coming. No, he works in orthopedic. I don't even know what he does. He works for a medical device, orthopedic, trauma.

He has a much bigger brain than all of us here. Yeah, wow. He was a kicker, Pat. He kicked in his time. For the brand, big brain guy. Motivator. Let's fucking go, Pat. Okay.

Hey, tell him I said hello and I appreciate his service to the game. And also the quote in his office every day he walks in there, he's like, I ain't no bitch, Pat. Let's ride. Let's go, dude. Did you have to do any of the segments that they do? Like if you had to pick a snack that described Tyreek Hill the best and your life with this, did you have to do any of the segments?

They get very creative with the segments. That's an excellent segment i think that one no i i didn't have to do that one i did i did a silly one it wasn't even silly it didn't even make sense to me it was like top five underrated scary quarterbacks which to me is like a category exactly that's every day jb we watch good morning but i'm like how is a quarterback underrated it's literally the 32 most important jobs in the most talked about. But we got through it. It was a second week.

But, no, I feel like. Jamie, Jamie, Jamie, I don't want to cut you off, but, like, you're going to have to dive into their world. Get used to it. There's not a common sense, like. No. Starting quarterback in the end. Like, we watch Good Morning Football, Jamie, every morning.

Yeah. And we're a fan of the show, big fans of the show. starting quarterback in the end like we watch good morning football jamie every morning yeah and we're a fan of the show big fans of the show but there are some things that pop up or like massive respect for them having to have that conversation right now because it is very difficult not to just be like oh this isn't real this is not but there's a lot of hours a lot of conversation they have some incredible segments that's why they're emmy award winning totally i'm excited i i feel like i gotta come in there with like five or six new creative things that I have to lay out every two weeks to make sure that I feel like I'm bringing something to the table.

But I'm excited. I mean, whatever it's football, football is fun. Make it fun. Be creative. What if, what if you went in there and said,

all right, describe each team as a famous quote. And you're like, I got Chicago. You know, and they're like, I got Chicago. Easy. And they're like, you know, if you're going to be a bear, don't be a Chicago bear. No.

Be a grizzly. That would be, I mean, that's home run segment right there. It is. Crush. Back-to-back Emmy. Anytime you need us, not that you do, but anytime you need a little brainstorm sesh, Jamie, we are here for you. Go ahead, Tone.

Jamie, are you going to miss Nick Saban's joyous attitude when you're asking him questions at halftime? Is that what you're going to miss most about the CBS gig? Yeah, I really am. I was on that crew for four years, and last year I found some of our interactions to be the most entertaining, And last year I found some of our interactions to be the most entertaining, mostly because it it might not get old to win that much. But it gets old for me to just continuously interview that man after he beats a team by three scores. So I enjoy like at the Iron Bowl when they were down like 17, nothing to Auburn. And literally all I said to him was like, what's the problem here? I don't you have those that are unfolding.

And it just it he's a great – I like him. He challenges you. He makes you respect the game, and I learned a lot from him. I am going to miss that. I am going to miss that. But, like I said, I'm not going to miss traveling to Tuscaloosa. I like Tuscaloosa. It's just hard to get to.

Yeah, a lot of those college towns, right? Yeah. Yeah. How many years covering college football? Four. Four in the SEC and then four in the NFL before that. You've just been kicking ass. Jamie, you've been kicking ass.

Go ahead, Connor. Yeah, Jamie, it's a little relieving the fact that Jason McCourty will also be sitting next to you and it'll be his first year too and have you guys kind of had already a little bit of a relationship as the new guys in town? Is he?

That's what we saw. Oh. Oh. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Is that not real? Hold the phone. Whoa, what happened there? I don't know.

Is he? That's not, I don't know. That's not on my announcement. Whoa. The Hoover Mill is turning. The hell's going on? What is this all about? Where did you read it, Connor?

The internet. Everywhere on the internet. Yeah. It's just harsh. Yeah, I think it was. Yeah. Sports business journal. Come on.

Ever heard of it, AJ? Jeez. AJ, sorry about it. You're on a sailboat cleaning poop out of a john. We're reading the internet. Sorry, guys. Guys, any of those guys that have been, because now I've been watching it religiously. I watched it time and time

again, but now that I've been watching it over the last couple of months, any of those guys that rotate through are fantastic. I would think any guy that retires would love to, I mean, just as much as everybody wanted Kay Adams' job, which is a fantastic job, and she did. She crushed it for six years.

I would think any player that retires now would want that chair. It's a great job. Yeah, come on. 4.45, wake up. Yeah. It could be Darius. It could be Darius. You're home by noon. You know what?

If you're going to be a bear, be a grizzly. Oh, be a grizzly. Yeah, and if you're going to be a bird, be an early bird. Yeah. Eagle. You know what I mean? That's a good call, too. Go ahead, Ty.

Jamie, we've kind of already touched on it, but is there anything daunting about, like you said, like now you can only talk about the NFL all day. Like you can't talk about college football or college basketball. Like is there any part of that when you accepted this job where it was like, oh, shit, I really have to kind of hone in on everything we're talking about here? accepted this job where it was like, oh, shit, I really have to kind of hone in on everything we're talking about here? I think when I really went through just what it would mean to take over this job, what came back to what I feel like I've experienced in the last eight years at CBS was when I

was on the NFL, I didn't really watch college football. I watched Michigan. My husband went there. I kept up with them. But then when I was on college football, I still scampered home to watch the NFL. And I think that to me, the NFL has always kind of been like the truest to what I was passionate about. And so I find it, you know, talk to me in a couple of years, maybe I'm doing it for 720 days. But I'm I'm happy to kind of settle into something year round.

I'm happy to kind of settle into something year-round. Jamie, have you thought about the fact that your show is going to be on every single NFL locker room while the guys are in there and the coaches are in there? The coaches, too. Coaches will be walking by with their breakfast. Oh, what do these people think they're saying? Have you given that any thought? What movie actor best describes... No, no, no.

Go ahead. I have learned to appreciate that. That felt very intimidating when I first learned that that was kind of the nature of it, that how much the league hones in on that. And it really just sets the table for the day, I think, for the rest of the league.

And how annoyed players or teams might get if you handle certain situations and what you say about them. And I've actually tried to, like, kind of tamp that down because I just want to be myself. I don't really want to think too much about how, like, I'm going to piss Pete Carroll off and I've got to deal with that. And then the next hour I'm going to be talking about the Vikings.

Am I dealing with that? And I just hope that, in my honesty, I can, you know, pay homage to all the teams. And if they're struggling, like we got to be able to talk about that. If you're doing great, we'll talk about that too. Not just players, not just coaches, executives. What's the road over there? Park? Park?

Park Avenue. I heard it's on every TV there. Roger's watching. I mean, it's a whole, everybody in the NFL is watching it and I think they picked the perfect person for the job.

Congratulations. Thank you. Enjoy the hell out of yourself. Congrats to your family going back to Jersey and if, if you're going

to be a bear, be a fucking great show host grizzly bear. Amen. All right. We appreciate you so much, Jamie. Good luck.

Thank you guys. I appreciate it. The, Jamie. Good luck. Thank you guys. I appreciate it. The new host of Good Morning Football starting on Monday, July 25th. NFL Network every morning, Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.

Yes. Very early. Jamie Erdl. Jamie! As you get older, testosterone production begins to naturally decrease in the body. For most men, it begins around the age of 30, and testosterone production declines by roughly 1% per year.

I don't think there's any. How do you stop? James Harden said he had a pulled hammy for what? Three weeks or something like that. And they're like, all right, we got to get him up. How'd they stop that one trade, though? What was the trade? Chris Paul.

Yeah. They technically owned the Pelicans at the time. The NBA did. Pelicans at the time. The NBA did. Pelicans, Lakers. Yes. And they said, nah, we're making some money off this guy right now. Directly. We're not moving him.

And also that would fuck up the NBA if he went over there. It would be too good of a team, too solid of a squad. And then bang, a couple years later, it was just super team, super team, super team, super team, super team, which made the NBA much better, by the way, I think, to the casual fan. I think basketball purists hate it, but I think casual fan didn't mind seeing all the superstars in a couple different games every single night. I think a lot of people enjoyed that.

But if Kevin Durant wants out of there, he can make it. Not that he would. I'm not saying – especially after talking to Letterman, I don't think he's the type of person that would waste a lot of energy trying to ruin everybody's vibe around him or whatever. But if somebody wants out in that small of a team sport you can make it so you're they they have to yeah i honestly believe that you can do that don't you think aj absolutely it wasn't like you said with james hard with the hamstring situation they could just

the player if he's willing to take the heat they can manipulate however they want it guaranteed contracts yeah a team would be forced to do something. Ben Simmons just did. He was showing up at the facility, but his mental health wasn't good enough to prep. Was he good enough to do that? Is he good enough to do that? He's the first overall pick. He got paid, too. Defensive player of the year, right? Yeah, rookie of the year.

He can't shoot. Got paid. That's how good he is. Also, isn't it very widely known in the NBA? Yes, he didn't play. The NBA Players Association has so much more power than any other league. All their superstars are the president, vice president. They've set it up.

Guys like Durant, he's in his own stratosphere, obviously, but a lot of these guys can make these kind of moves because the players have so much more power. I think it's called the NBPA. Yeah, that's what it is. National Basketball more power. I think it's called the NBPA. Yeah. National Basketball Players Association. Chris Paul. When did it go bad for Ben Simmons?

Playoffs the year before he sat out when he passed up layups. He was shooting like. He didn't want to get fouled. Yeah. He was shooting like 22% from free throws. It was bad. He wasn't even scoring 10 points a game. Which was kind of sad.

It was kind of sad to watch somebody go through that actually, but then it felt like he didn't care enough to get out of it. So then he turned heel. Like, he was baby face. Everybody felt bad. And then just never. No. And it was like, oh, so you'll still take all the money,

but for whatever reason you won't figure it out. But then the mental health got brought in. And then a lot of people were like, well, are you kind of minimalizing what mental health actually is with what you have? Like there is – that Ben Simmons thing has layers, layers and layers and layers and layers to it, I think. Yeah, and then he had a back problem, and then he went to Brooklyn and they were down three games against Boston.

He didn't play in the game four. And then right after the season he got back surgery, so he had a real serious back problem, but it wasn't reported as a serious back problem. It didn't make any sense. And then Kyrie and Kevin Durant are like, we want out of here. And then Steve Nash is like, why did I do this?

Why did I try? I was making social media videos wearing a suit, crossing people up, getting paid a shit ton of money, assistant coach in place, just winning, having a good time. Now I got to battle, but maybe that's what Steve Nash was built for. Steve Nash was built for this, AJ. And Wendy said that the Nets have not been very aggressive in trying to trade KD or Kyrie.

The Kyrie to the Nets thing, remember, Shams told us not, that there's no substance to that, it feels like, for Russell Westbrook. But it feels like KD is playing for the Nets unless KD does some drastic thing where he makes it impossible for them to have to keep him. It feels like it. And

Braun, AD, and Westbrook just had a phone call where they pledged their allegiance to each other. Going to make it work. I pledge allegiance to AD. No, you say it. I pledge allegiance to Brody. I pledge allegiance to Bron.

One team under crypto.com. Hopefully into the playoffs. Indivisible unlike last year to the finals yes Jerry West and beyond celebrity in buckets for all

Lakers amen that's what they did yeah on a zoom call phone call phone call it's FaceTime

three-way FaceTime no but Braun's pushing that didn't he push the Google phone or something maybe oh yeah didn't he? It's FaceTime? Maybe through FaceTime, yeah. No, but Braun's pushing that. Didn't he push the Google phone or something? Maybe. Oh, yeah. Didn't he? Do they have FaceTime on it? Yes, you can actually send them a link from your iPhone. What'd you say?

How do we know about this call? It was a meme, dude. Come on. It was reported. It was a meme. It was a meme. It was a photo. I know which player put it out. Which player told him? Well, it might have been somebody in the background on FaceTime because I think Russell was in like France or something. Yeah. Braun was on a boat maybe.

Wendy could have been the fourth man on there. True. Wendy could have hacked into the mainframe and been a part of the FaceTime. Yeah. Will you look up if it was a Zoom or a FaceTime or a Google? I thought it was a call. They huddled up on a phone call. There it is.

Their commitment to another and vowing to make it work. What if it was just speakerphone, a little bit more intimate, have to listen to the words? Oh, I like that. Somebody got a transcript? Did somebody... Wendy had a... It was Windhurst?

Mm-hmm. The Nets also told Kyrie. What if it was a text? What's that, AJ? What if it was a text and they said, hey, what's up, man? How you feeling? I'm good. Okay, there it is. it was a text and they said, hey, what's up, man? How you feeling? I'm good.

Okay, there it is. That was the phone call people sent. I want to let you know, I listened to an interview from Unique in Gawkway when he came to the Indianapolis Colts. He did an interview with the Indianapolis Colts radio host, Matt Taylor. Good dude. And Matt Taylor said, you know, the Colts have seen you play. How would you describe your playing style?

And it made me think of when I asked you, how would you describe your style? And you said, are you fucking serious right now? I feel like I'm in a pre-production meeting for a show and a conversation I don't want to talk about or something. He said, nasty, vicious. That's what you said. Do you remember doing this? Oh, yeah, I remember.

So he gave an actual answer, right? And I was like, that's the difference between, like, Yannick Ngakwe and A.J. Hawk. Sure. So whenever we just asked this question to you right there and you just said what you just said, like, yeah, I love the fact that you are part of a sports talk show on a daily basis. And you're like, why are we talking? This is not something you even talk about. Yeah. I love the fact that you are part of a sports talk show on a daily basis. And you're like, why are we talking?

This is not something you even talk about. I fucking love it. That's the gem and the beauty of A.J. Hawk. You know what I mean? What a guy. What a guy. What a guy. We need everybody's perspective, right?

Everybody's point of view. Absolutely. What was your style, you think? All right, let's get out of here. All right, that's the show. We thank you all so much for watching. The Aspies are this evening. Hopefully there'll be some more poop on sailboats definitely that's a sailing knot man it's hard not to see now that i've seen it yeah it could have fooled me well you're the one that told us it was uh so goodness i hope it didn't

well that's not good you were our authority there and then zito looked it didn't fool you. Well, that's not good. You were our authority there. And then Zito looked it up because of you. Yeah, no, and they had the name of all those knots, actually, on that little spreadsheet there. Okay, so you were right. So you can't be the one that says, cool, fool me then, because you were literally the authority for us. Right, it's easy to get fooled. Every knot is a sailing knot.

Huh? Every knot is pretty much a sailing knot. I mean, AJ. That's not true. All right, AJ. Yeah, come on, buddy Name another name. I'm talking it all can be used in the sailing world. That's what you have all the ropes I was just on the sailboat. There's 17,000 ropes on said you have to be an Eagle Scout to be a sailor you think yes No, yeah, you're actually gonna be a captain of a sailboat. Absolutely. Oh, I'm gonna be sailing yacht club

I seen a I seen a sailboat go by the house the other day. That's some bitch was sideways. I'm like, there's no way you're doing it right. Is that how it's supposed to be? If it's a windy day. Working the jig boom, yeah. That thing was up like this. Yeah, if it's a windy day.

That's sailing, baby. You got to get on the straps, fucking hang out the side. They have a little yuppie sail club that floats by every once in a while. Yeah, I seen it. Looks like, hey, you guys are the Amish of the water. Hope you once in a while. Yeah, I've seen it. Looks like, hey, you guys are the Amish of the water. Hope you're happy, bro.

Fucking watercraft comes flying by. Sea dew. Well, I saw a report that fucking near Lake Monroe and

Geist were dangerously low because of the fucking drought. Because of the drought. God damn it. It's happening everywhere. Everywhere. I'll start,

I'll put my hose in. Yeah, move. Save Lake it. It's happening everywhere. Everywhere. I'll start. I'll put my hose in. Good move. Save Lake Monroe. Good guy. Yeah. Now somebody needs to go do it over there for the river that flows into the Hoover Dam. That's right. Oh, yeah.

I guess that's a little low as well. It was just Transformer, right? But it was so dry they thought it could have been a thing? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I seen it on the internet too. Yeah. I saw the Hoover Dam blow up

because I was just flying over there what a month ago and everybody's like it is dangerously dry out here worried about power worried about everything I'm like really

is that taking place there I'm like why don't we just put some more water there smart you know pretty simple fix well it comes from a lake

and then the lake flows down to that and they don't have I'm like so just put the fucking water in there then right can we just why can't we just put water into it and they're like they don't have it. I'm like, so just put the fucking water in there then, right? Can we just, why can't we just put water into it? And they're like, where are you getting the water from?

I'm like, the fucking ocean? Is the ocean still, can we not filter the water? And then I was taught the process of how that could never happen, I guess. I'm like, all right, well, I'll shut the fuck up. Never mind. But it is a water shortage right now happening, I think, everywhere, right?

Oh, yeah. Oh, dry, I think London is experiencing like 104 degrees here or something. Record highs. All of Europe everywhere, right? Oh, yeah. Oh, dry. I think London is experiencing like 104 degrees. Record highs. All of Europe's on fire. Oh, yeah. It's not good. Everyone's yards around here is dead.

Yards are dead. Yep. Lake Mead is like 150 feet down, and they're finding bodies in sailboats and stuff. That supplies like Vegas and California and stuff like that. Hey, that's the lake that's up yonder that I was thinking, i just put some water in there can't just put water in there it's a lake guy maybe it's good on a lake oh yeah man can they not just put water into the lake i don't no no you can't do that at all okay just back to the i'm sorry i am sorry yeah i was basically told that by somebody that delivered it much differently,

but I'm a new lake person. I don't know why I can't. Can I not just shoot my hose out there? Yeah, for sure. I think it would work unless your hose water comes from the lake. It doesn't. That lake is disgusting. Yeah, if every house on the lake puts their hose out there, yeah.

Just like how you're supposed to fill up a pool. You got to put your hose in the pool. How come that's not going on everywhere? If there's 150 houses on Lake Mead, everybody put a foot of water in. There you go. Boom. Problem fixed. What's that, AJ? Puddle out the middle.

What's that? There are signs that say, don't water your yard and take quick showers, but please put each of you, all 150 residents, put one foot of water in this lake. Okay. It's easy. And one foot of water to raise a foot

on the entirety of Lake Mead. That might be a good seven, eight week pour. Yeah. Need everybody to do it though because the Hoover Dam's getting fucking dry. That's right. That's where a lot of power comes from. Everyone's got to make sacrifices.

Get it going. We should not be laughing about this. It's a real problem. We hope everybody's okay. We apologize that there's no water. We're just trying to figure it out. This is how we brainstorm. That's right. Okay, we do apologize for that. Ain't that right, AJ? Yeah, come get some of this monsoon water down here. Come collect some of this rainwater

and ship it over there. So what you need to do is get some tarps, like plastic tarps. Collect it and then it rolls down into a bottle. Or a barrel, yeah, bigger bottle, a barrel. And then ship that Lake Mead, and then one barrel at a time. Yes. Why don't they just do it all along the edge of it, or like out there along the coastline? You just go to the biggest skyscraper, you put a tarp on there, you do that with a couple of them.

You just set a general slide right into whatever body of water you need to fill. It's like blank check where that slide comes from his office all the way down to the pool. We want that on every building in the Pacific Northwest. Make it happen. Run them all in there. Let's conserve the rain. Back in the day, they had to do that, right?

Collect the rain. That's right. This isn't new. This is old school. You just got to hope it's not acid rain. If it is. Which it 100% is, right? Because that's the world we live in now? Pretty much.

Don't bring an umbrella to this fucking brainstorm either. Especially not because we need to bring a water slide to this brainstorm. To the brainstorm.

We are the worst show. We are the worst show of all time. Blank Check's a good movie. Unbelievable. So good. Macintosh, dude. Mr. Macintosh.

That was a game changer for me watching that show. Honestly, I'm like, all right, I need a million bucks. That was a lie. That show is a flat out lie. Well, back then, though. Maybe. That came out in like 93. That was back when people were like, you get $10,000.

You invest that $10,000. That's going to make $2,500 for you a year. like 93 that was back when people were like you get ten thousand dollars you invest at ten thousand dollars that's gonna make twenty five hundred dollars for you a year you don't even touch it so then like everybody in their head is like all right i get to a million dollars that should make me in a certain amount of money every single year that i won't have to work for the rest of my life i just got to get to that and then as we grow older it's like uh yeah that 25 actually went down to 0.04% guaranteed. It's like, whoa, whoa, that's quite a fucking drastic change from when my childhood was. Well, taxes and inflation, the way things go up and down.

It's not as steady as it once was. Sorry about it. It's like, well, fucking, I seen Blank Check get every time of his life. He was eating ice cream out of a fucking trophy. He was. He had a bumper car go-kart track in the backyard. I mean, he had... I love that. I know. You want to reel down and look into

what Preston's been doing since then. Oh, no. It's unfortunate. Oh, look. Do you know AJ, it sounds like? No. Honestly, I thought he was doing great. What happened to him? No, no, no. He's fallen on some tough times, basically, since a couple years after. Not quite as bad as Goldberg from Mighty Ducks, but he needs to get back on his bike

and drive behind cars pulling out of parking lots. He does. Let's get out of here. That kind of put a whole bow on the blank check conversation. A million bucks in 93 is worth around roughly estimated about two million today. There you go. What about inflation? That is fact.

Don't. What about the. From 1993. So 30 years. So 29 years for 100% inflation. What about the Fed hiking interest rates? Listen, I mean, I'm just Googling over here, but there's a lot of different sites. What about the taxes?

What are the taxes then? What are the taxes now? What was milkworth back then? What state? California. Where fucking blank check Microsoft was. Was it California? I don't know. Remember how his dad came around?

His dad was an asshole. His dad was terrible. He finally came around at the very end. I was like, oh, I was like Oh I respect Respect what you're doing Like dinner Like wasn't it around The dinner table

There was a moment They used to shit on him Because his older brothers Had jobs And they didn't have to Ask his dad for money To go mini golf And he was 12 years old

Yeah So He sent him to a birthday party With no money And then all his friends Made fun of him For being a fucking Broke asshole

And he's Get a fucking job, pal. Everybody else does. Yeah, I remember that. Yep. What a bad fucking family situation. Kind of forced his hand to go rob that guy of a million bucks. Pretty much. And then basically,

ipso facto, he's going to end up having sex with a lady 30 years older than him. Is that the movie The Weeknd? It's money. Did he? end up having sex with the lady 30 years older than him it's not the movie of the weekend or it's money that's did he remember he was uh yeah she was yeah she seemed to have hey here speaking of uh movie of the weekend blackbird's very good yeah so good blackbird's i don't know what it is it's not a movie it's not a movie it a series, but they're like hour and five minute episodes. It's about a real story that happened here in Illinois and Indiana about detectives and a drug dealer.

And it was awesome. It was great. The dude that is in that show is alarmingly handsome. Like, you look, he shows up on the screen, yoked, chiseled, perfect smile. He's the guy from The Kingsman or whatever. Tom Hickerton. Paul Walter Hauser.

It is. It's like strikingly, holy fuck, this is an incredibly handsome guy. Now, there's a bomb in Centennial Park. Did play an incredible. Paul Walter Hauser. incredibly handsome guy. Now, there's a bomb in Centennial Park. I know. Did play an incredible... Yeah, Paul Walter. He was not the alarmingly handsome person in this one.

Oh, he's handsome. But Cuzzy from The Kingsman? Yeah. Fucking holy shit. He was on my screen right in front of me. Where do I watch it? Apple TV. Very good.

It's good. I'll get it. Apple's still doing that fuckboy shit where they're putting out one per week need to stop at apple okay you guys are the ones that change this whole game into a binging game we give us four at a time like or three at a time or five at a time yeah i i understand you want to get at least two cracks at the apple for each thing you make because you might end up like netflix losing 1 million subscribers even though they said they were going to lose 2 million

subscribers so their stock market price didn't really have that much of a fall with this announcement even though it collapsed after 200,000 subscriber loss. They lose another million. No real because they were expecting and projecting a 2 million subscriber loss. So nice play for the future for people to think about. Maybe

the boys over at FaZe Clan might need to get into that now that they're a publicly traded company but yes it is worth a watch on Apple TV. Fucking very, very well done. You're not going to be happy when Succession comes back. No, not at all. That's the thing. HBO lasts. They do one a week. Apple TV is going to last. They do one a week.

It's not good that Netflix is crashing and they're the ones that... They're trying to go back to the old model. No, I can't do it. Because you can watch it. Put two or three out. You don't i can't do it because you can watch it put two or three two or three you don't put the whole season but at least put two or three can we meet in the middle apple always does too for the new shows i'll put the first two episodes on and then i think this one's only six episodes so at least you won't have to wait that it's going to be wrapped up pretty quickly can we meet in the middle yeah you know

two a week not even two a week. You can do like three a month. You know? You can like, because it's going to be a weekend where you watch through and then, sorry, they give us something else and maybe it's like two weeks from now.

Give me the option though. Don't you think, Pat, that could be a premium option? Hey, you can, this series you can buy for 20 bucks and you get to, you get what, however many episodes,

but pay double and I can get it all at once. That's the final answer. Write that down, AJ. AJ, you write that down. I wrote it down, yeah. Charge me for fucking more. Yeah, preview of subscription.

I saw it on Nightly News last night with Lester Holt. Talking about Netflix losing a million subscribers because they had their quarterly whatever thing. If you were to have Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, and something else, it's like $60, $65 or whatever. So they said people are picking and choosing more so than they had in the past. In the past, people get in there, and it was just like,

hey, we're sticking around, we're sticking around. I guess now there is a little bit more picking and choosing for people because there's so many platforms i have so many good shit and uh price of it is a lot more than like cable used to be almost if you were to get them all so they said people are picking and choosing where they're going how they're going i'm an auto pay guy always will be but i'm also lazy and stupid so i i think not everybody is like that at this point and i think as far as content, it's fucking HBO and Apple at the top. And then it's like Paramount and Netflix below it. So they're cutting stuff out.

Hulu's been very sneaky, by the way. Hulu's got a Mike Tyson thing coming out. Yeah. Looks awesome. It looks pretty good. August 16th, I think? The bear. The bear on there is very, very good.

I just watched all that the other day. The bear? Yeah. It's pretty good. Oh, that's a show. I thought you were talking about the Mike Tyson show. Oh, no, sorry, yeah. It's on Hulu.

Different show. Well, if you're going to be a bear, be the bear. Be aggressive. How about that guy with a motivational speech on his fucking wall right there in his office?

Orthopedic. Love that. How about Burt Chrysler selling liquid death? Yeah, we all saw him in a Speedo yesterday moving that body. We were able to learn

how he is built the way he is built with the energy. There's another worker. That guy is everywhere. He's like peaking at like almost 50 years old now. He is hitting his stride. And he, you know, the Mickey Mantle gene, he will run a triathlon like next week at whatever stage of life he's in somehow. No problem.

It is unbelievable. Because watching his body, because I too am somebody that gains weight, loses weight, gains weight, loses weight. I do that a lot. A little bit of a trampoline effect there with my body. He's the same, but he still is able to do everything at all stages. I get like too gassed out for stuff, too tired for stuff. Bert just has a never-ending energy,

it feels like. And drinks like 15 cocktails a night. That's what I'm saying. Able to drink, able to run, able to work out, able to do all his shows, able to do everything at any weight, basically. He is a fucking anomaly, that guy. He is. I don't need to see him in a Speedo

every single scroll on my Instagram, but he is certainly an inspirational fellow, old Bert Kreischer. He's athletic, man. Bert is sneaky athletic and has good feet too. No matter what your weight is, I think you always keep that in your feet. Yeah, he kicked the ball pretty good here. Yeah. And then Bill Byrne, he got into a full 30-yard field goal thing.

Was it up in a stadium wearing a uniform? Yep. Pads. With an actual rush coming at you. It was $100,000. I forget. Something like that. It was a pretty good amount of money.

And I don't think it ever took place. But I won't doubt Burt. You know, he can get lucky. Anybody, you got a puncher's chance. Why not make it happen? I got to kick a ball. Oh, yeah, you do. I got to kick a ball sometime soon.

And throw a ball. I throw a ball. Oh, yeah, you do. I got to kick a ball sometime soon. And throw a ball. I throw a ball. I throw balls. You should see me and Chuck at the house. I'm throwing. He just, he chews through every ball we have. Oh, yeah. That's a real problem.

Hey, pal, I would like to be able to, you know, use this ball more than one time with you. Soccer ball, brought it home. I was going to juggle it a little bit, get the feeling back in the feet, kind of get back into it. Kicked it one time, two times, three times. Chuck breaks it, bats it around, dribbles it pretty impressively, right back to me.

Then he walks away and does like a, hey, kick it, kick it, bites it again, fucking dribbles it all the way back. It's like, all right, I mean, you've played with the ball more than me, obviously. Then a four-of-the-brand ball we had at the house, and I accidentally left it on the couch. He jumps up on the couch, baby Duke, bites off the laces immediately. Oh, can't use the ball. All right, now it's a rugby ball.

Thanks, Chuck. It's one of those. You guys free some apple cider on the ball? He won't touch it. it chuck won't like apple cider or they don't like the smell of it or no not apple cider vinegar yes which because it tastes like apple cider i was gonna say dog shit but some dogs will eat dog shit it's all true yeah the dog's noses is a real phenomenon you know i watched something else it was on The Unexplained with William Shatner. Okay. You know, they say horses are mind readers. You know that? Mr. Hand?

Well, Mr. Hand certainly and some other stuff. There was this general reckless or sergeant reckless, this horse that served in the, I forget which war, maybe World War. served in the i forget which war maybe world war no no uh no jockey no nothing nobody riding this horse she would go to the front of the line to deliver um weapons to people and then she would carry back injured like two she would be able to think and find where it needed drop it off and then like go pick things up it was like fully up reckless yeah here it is sergeant staff sergeant reckless which was this way uh yeah they trained it but like she had like um sentient feelings on like they they thought that this

horse was like they treated reckless like another soldier like another human korean war hero okay was over there but like it the ability for it to just do things like without anybody telling it and then there was like more conversations about horses being able to connect with their riders and owners and i guess horses are like majestic fucking oh yeah og creatures i had no idea that was the case there was a book or movie movie movie yep is it about recklessckless somewhere? No, but World War I, same deal. Similar premise. Just smack on the ass,

go figure it out. Go figure it out. I need you to lay some suppressing fire. It's crazy, isn't it? It's crazy that they've got a statue. That horse has a statue. It's buried with honors and the whole thing. Dogs, the way they smell.

Somebody told a story about how her dog came up to her and nudged her in the stomach so hard that it was, like, uncomfortable. She got one gut checked out. Cancer. Jeez. That's crazy. Yeah. I was like, all right, is that every dog?

Is that a happenstance? Is that every horse that has the capability to do that? Or is there like some bum ass horses like me walking out there that would never be able to do that? That unexplained show worth a watch, especially with Bill Shatner's fucking acting chops. Yeah. The way you have spoken about it, I have to. There's like 45 episodes, too. It's from 2019.

Ah he was He was an even number I think he was four or six He definitely knew how to walk He had to learn how to He had to learn how to like walk and stuff again, but he fell off the horse. He was way behind,

uh, like the pack. He's riding his horse by himself, by the way, four years old or six years old. He was, he grew up, he was on an odd number.

No, it certainly wasn't. He was on a, he grew up on like a horse ranch. So out in the middle of fucking Montana was giving tours at like the age of like six on these horseback. What a reckless speaking of reckless situation and he did it was going across a stream or something right yeah he was going off across a creek and then he fell off and then like he cracked his head and he was like basically laying almost dead in the creek and then the
