Hello, beautiful people. Welcome to our humble abode for the next week. The FanDuel stage live in Phoenix, Arizona.
This sports show shall start right now.
Football is celebrating its grandest game on the grandest stage of them all right here in Phoenix.
Super Bowl 57 festivities have officially kicked off live from Radio Row here in the convention center.
I will say there's a little bit more of a buzz in the air on this particular Monday of Radio Row Super Bowl week than there was last year.
We were the only motherfuckers in the building last year on this particular day.
This year, it seems like it is radiating from one side of the room to the other.
No fans allowed this year.
Is that because some group of assholes,
dipshits, scumbags, stooges,
had a rap concert with Wiz Khalifa last year?
Possibly.
But I do believe this week
has brought us a lot of great things.
Incredible guests will be
waltzing onto this stage
to sell some sort of product
that has paid a lot of money to the NFL
for the first three to five
minutes. And I'll tell you what, whenever we have those conversations with them, we are trying to
really learn everything we can about the relationship because the only reason they're
there is because the company that's paying them to be here has paid them to be here. So we might
as well give them a little bit of love. There's been some shit that we don't necessarily understand
and we'll ask our questions in a fashion that will make you all realize
that we ain't about whatever this mark is selling.
But as soon as that conversation is done,
normally we're able to get some really good shit.
And how could you not?
The group that I'll be here with all week is a fantastic one.
We've all voyaged out here to the desert,
got a couple Airbnbs that are way too nice,
batting off scorpions, about to have a great time,
and I can't thank these guys enough for the incredible season that they've had.
The toxic table is here.
On a love seat.
At Boston Connor to the right.
At Ty Schmidt to the left.
Next to them, one half of the hammer.
Died.
Cowboys 10 Diggs is here with no cowboy cap on his skull.
I'm not happy about it.
I mean, I have it here.
It just doesn't fit over the.
Hold on. Tilt them back. You need the Madonna mic. I mean, I have it here. It just doesn't fit over the... Hold on.
Tell them back.
You need the Madonna mic.
Do the Jim Ross.
Go J-R.
That's right.
It's too big.
Your head or the...
The mic.
Nonetheless, the COVID cowboy has made his way to Arizona.
And obviously, a man who needs no introduction,
but fucking need to give him one.
That's right.
Because if I didn't, I'd be giving everybody else introductions and not him.
And he's the one that truly has earned his introduction
because this fucking guy, college football national champion.
What?
How a lot of people could say that, can they?
No.
A good amount.
A good amount can, yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, you're right.
Let's go ahead and whittle those fucking losers away.
This man is also a Super Bowl champion.
Wow.
How a lot of people could say that.
Not a lot of people could say that.
Well, I guess a lot of people in comparison to like one or two people could say it
because there's at least 53 winners every single fucking year, I guess.
But not only did he win, he won the Ryder Cup in golf.
Wow.
He's a father of 10.
What?
Ladies and gentlemen, AJ Holt.
Hello, baby, AJ.
Good to be here, man.
AJ, I love Super Bowl week mostly because we get to experience your aura in person.
You showed up last night, came in the house, ordered Cheesecake Factory immediately.
You smoked a couple cigars, almost got bit by a scorpion.
What a time.
It's Super Bowl week.
Obviously, you're a Super Bowl champion, so you're part of the royal family around here.
But I enjoy the fuck out of these weeks with all the boys, and I'm thankful you're out here yet again, especially this early in the week.
I mean, honestly, I appreciate you having us all and doing all this.
Like you said, two Airbnbs that we have no business being in that are way too nice.
And this whole place, like everything about Phoenix, Arizona, Scottsdale, Tempe, wherever you are is awesome.
Like you said, Scorpions, Rattlers around.
We'll keep an eye out later today, but, man, this is a great, like I said, it's a celebration of the whole year.
And I'm glad to be here with you guys.
Boston Connor, your voice sounds despicable.
Yeah, it's bad.
But you're feeling better.
I feel great.
Yeah, I feel amazing.
Definitely don't sound as good as I feel.
There's no way you feel good.
I know.
You feel good?
I feel great.
Yeah, but I feel like you think every human that you're talking to hasn't experienced what you've experienced.
You feel like you're able to lie to us about this.
This is like the most human thing that has ever happened to anybody.
Not at all.
I feel very good, especially in comparison to what I was feeling.
But boy, I sound so bad.
He tried.
He had so many cups of tea last night.
Oh, yeah.
15.
Well, we appreciate you putting on a Super Bowl effort.
We are going to have guests all week.
We have A.Q. Shipley's with us.
We've got to figure out how we're going to get him up on the stage within the next half hour or so.
But let's talk about some of the news that's happening around the NFL.
Tone Diggs, let's start with you because this is going to be something we're certainly going to be tracking all week.
Where's the money at for the Super Bowl?
Chiefs and the Eagles, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey and Andy Reid.
Are we in the middle of watching a dynasty be built?
And we got to respect and appreciate that.
And then the Philadelphia Eagles.
Talk about a dynasty.
These two motherfuckers have only been together basically for one year.
Jalen Hurts comes into the season.
Is he a guy?
Is he not a guy?
Turns out he's a guy.
You know who else is a guy?
Sirianni.
That's right.
That team is humming with dogs all over the place.
They're about to break some sack record probably that will never be touched again
when it comes to overall team sacks.
They're unbelievable.
Where's the money at?
Because that will be a big-time indicator of how the tale will be told, I do believe.
Yeah, so it opened as Chiefs favorites, minus one, minus one and a half,
depending on where you looked at.
And then it flipped immediately to Eagles being the favorites.
77% of the money at
FanDuel Sportsbook is on the Eagles.
How much? 77% of the
money, 71% of the bets.
Super Bowl is when everybody is like,
you know what? I haven't maybe
gambled all year, but this is our last chance
to gamble on our favorite league.
We'll be putting together a parlay that
we are going to hit. We're going to go
into the offseason.
Because unlike last year, I feel like we had some wins, some really close losses.
This year, it's just been a drumming.
And we appreciate FanDuel for allowing us on their stage.
They had to take down Kay Adams' show because FanDuel has their own television network now. They do.
We are not on that network.
They are using the stage their own television network now. They do. We are not on that network.
They're using the stage for their television network,
so they had to take down Kay Adams up an Adams show.
There's also a morning show to put our show up.
We appreciate everybody that is doing that here.
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for that.
We genuinely appreciate that.
A lot of very hard work was just taking place and has taken place over the last couple of days
to kind of pit crew this whole thing and make it all happen.
But Vandal has an incredible setup here.
DraftKings has an incredible setup right over there.
Gumbling is the reason why all of these conversations are taking place that are currently taking place around the NFL right now.
Not only is it the officiating has to get better, the games have to get better, there has to be more points because any time touchdown scores,
it's like gambling is basically, and I think Radio Row here is a great indicator of that,
this is what the NFL knows is going to be the big influencer for future generations of NFL fans.
And 76% of the money is on one team.
That is crazy to think about whenever I think a lot of people in this stage
are leaning hard towards the Eagles.
You think these sets are built?
You think these sets are built for no reason, pal?
It takes a little bit of cash.
Well, now with states coming on each month, each year,
every single Super Bowl is going to be the most bet on Super Bowl of all time.
It's never going to be all 50 states, but until we're maxed out there,
it's literally going to be the most bet on Superbowl of all time.
It's pretty, I believe it's a trend upwards.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How many states right now are legal?
See, we, 17, 20.
17, 20, 22.
We don't know.
Between 16.
So we don't know?
Yeah.
I'm sure we can figure it out.
There has certainly been an answer given to us.
Right.
Numerous times.
Since that though, probably two to three more states maybe have come on.
Exactly.
In the process of.
Have been announced that they could come on.
It's very difficult.
We're just, what, crossing our T's and dotting our I's?
Like, what do we, how do we not?
That's got to be pretty easy to figure out, I would imagine.
No, it is not.
It's not.
That is not at all.
And that's why we say, you know, 17, 20, 21, 23, 24.
Yeah, because Ohio, hey, welcome, Ohio.
Hey, there we go.
Every time we said 17, maybe it's 18, 19, 20. 22, 24. Yeah, because Ohio, hey, welcome, Ohio. Hey, there we go. Every time we said 17, maybe it's 18, 19, 20.
There's some states that are never going to come on that have a lot of humans.
Like what kind of state do you think won't come on?
Anybody that has a lot of tribes.
Okay.
So if the Native Americans have any real sway or say in the way gambling is handled in the state,
it's going to be difficult because they
will create their own
gaming and sports books apps and that has happened
and they might come on to be the best of
all time. Has not indicated that that has been
a real focus though in there
because they want everybody getting to
the brick and mortars that are potentially
happening. So that's like Florida and California.
Those were
two things that a lot of money was spent
by numerous companies in here to try to campaign
for sports gambling to be legalized.
But how much like, yeah, sports are a lot better.
Whatever, just all sports are not.
The thing that you're a diehard fan of,
you're going to always be able to watch.
But there's sports that are just happening, you know,
all year round.
Especially with big time news. Kyrie's
a man. What?
Yeah, you can fake care on basketball
if you just so happen to be watching it
because you can put a little money on it. So I think
it's an easy sell for a lot of people.
A lot of people, you know,
the business kind of gets in the way because they know
how much money is involved. So you've got a lot of lobbyists,
you've got a lot of politicians, you've got a lot of this, you've got a lot of that. So whenever it gets approved, much money is involved. So you've got a lot of lobbyists. You've got a lot of politicians.
You've got a lot of this.
You've got a lot of that.
So whenever it gets approved, it's a big deal because there's been a lot of bullshitting
that has had to happen to get to that point.
But then when's the rollout date?
Then that date gets pushed sometimes.
It's a full – it's a wild thing.
There's just so much money being exchanged.
Future money.
Future money.
So, I mean, you have to do it right.
So it makes sense.
But, man, 10 years ago, could you have ever envisioned this is what the NFL would be with all these?
I think they've got to be happy about it.
But, no, it used to be.
Never.
They would never be involved, right?
Never put a team in Vegas.
Remember?
Yeah.
You're scared of that.
You're not.
Never going to put a team in Vegas was a conversation not too long ago.
That's crazy.
Romo got in trouble for doing, like, a fantasy football convention in Vegas or whatever.
And that wasn't too long ago. Wow, Romo. Well, AJ knows. What is she? We know That's crazy. Romo got in trouble for doing like a fantasy football convention in Vegas or whatever. That wasn't too long ago.
Wow, Romo.
Well, AJ knows.
What is shit?
We know it's conventions.
He did one in Massachusetts, and he made fun of poor people.
Okay, Tony.
So Romo at conventions does a lot of things.
Not a legend.
It's on video.
Eyewitnesses.
Okay, pal.
Fair enough.
That video.
Connor had boots on the ground.
Yes, multiple.
And what exactly happened for anyone that may not have been there?
No, no, this is not how we're starting this week.
I'm just trying to refresh my brain.
Poor people get a ride home with rich people.
It's all right.
It was raised money for, I mean, it was a full.
Jim Nance had to pull him off.
He was raising money.
This background is super sweet.
That's super nice.
Look at Camelback Mountain right there.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, I mean, this is the real deal whole field around here.
That's Camelback?
Because I've just been calling them all Camelback.
So there's the Superstitious Mountains, I believe, out here.
Those are the mountains.
And if Bill Stewart told us the right story when he was trying to motivate us to win the Fiesta Bowl,
which I don't know if it's inaccurate.
He wouldn't lie.
It has kind of been just locked in as that standard.
He pointed out a mountain range.
He said, Superstitious Mountains.
Okay?
People lost their lives in Superstitious Mountains looking for gold.
It was a lie.
It was all superstitious.
It was fake.
It was fool's gold.
It was everything like that.
A lot of people said, we didn't come out here for fool's gold.
No, no, no.
We came out here to win this game.
That's pretty damn good.
So Superstitious Mountains, I believe, if he was telling the truth and pointing at the
right proper mountain range. Then there's Camelback Mountain, which is, if he was telling the truth and pointing at the right proper mountain range.
Then there's Camelback Mountain, which is, that's where all the money's being made.
That's where we're near.
Baggifson, I think, right?
Yes, we are near there.
Yeah.
That's where the Scorpos are.
That's what JJ climbed the other day, right?
Yes.
He posted a video or a picture of himself climbing somewhere.
So, down there on the right is supposed to be the head, I believe.
You know what I mean?
On the right is the head.
Sure.
That's where you kind of enter the trail, I believe.
I think there's more.
Is that a live shot?
Live feed, currently.
You did a live feed of something the other day
that was just amazing. I'm sure we'll get into it later. It's a good tease
for later.
You are a connoisseur of all that is magic.
Can't wait to hear about that.
David Copperfield.
Still got it?
Work in the fastball.
I don't want to give too much away from the show.
Sure.
Is that your second magician show in Vegas?
I saw Chris Angel one time.
Yep.
A.Q. Shipley, who will be joining us soon, was there with me for that one.
That was certainly something.
Ain't nothing going to be able to be like it, David Copperfield, for the rest of my life, probably.
Okay.
Just the feeling of what it felt like to be in that theater
just throughout the entirety of the show.
Yeah?
Yeah.
One you'll never forget.
What were some of the major topics he touched on?
Oh, an alien showed up.
How about that?
What?
What was his name?
Are you serious?
Blue 32.
An alien showed up.
Was it Ace Ventura?
No, it was an alien.
Is his name Blue 32?
It was old Baby Yoda.
It was old Baby Yoda. No It was a little baby Yoda.
No way.
Had a full 20-minute conversation with this thing.
Wow.
Very casual.
Good convo.
What was he wearing?
Had full features.
Like a diaper?
It looked super fashionable.
Did it fall out of that balloon?
Well, so, I mean, it was also a UFO that showed up.
Right.
What? I don't want to give away too much, a UFO that showed up. Right. What?
I don't want to give away too much, but a dinosaur showed up.
No.
This is unbelievable.
No spoilers.
T-Rex?
I'm telling you.
T-Rex?
Bro, it was bananas.
It was great.
What was that?
Not enough people believed.
Not enough people believed.
There was a moment where the show would not go on until everybody in the theater did something.
Oh.
And that was.
Stood and clapped? Well, that happened a few times as well certainly he deserved it but you're sitting
at a booth break dave cop come on you got us at booths dude and then everybody's supposed to stay
i had to do the fake all right you're doing great you know because you got a table there it was
tough to stand wife's pregnant like she's definitely not. We didn't go to a church mass, but
aside from that, it was
awesome. Thank you for getting that out of the way.
Did he pull anyone? Were you raising
your hand to try to get pulled up on stage?
No, he's actually throwing Frisbees.
No way.
I gotta go. Pick up a Frisbee.
Like Frisbee golf Frisbees?
No, like super soft.
It was really random.
Somebody got sick on stage.
What?
Copperville threw up on the stage?
Like shit their pants?
No, they were so mind blown.
I think they were like.
Puked on stage and obviously had to wait for a mop, which was outside the theater.
So it was a good five to seven minutes that old cop had to go into the old bag of tricks.
The actual bag of tricks and do old school card tricks for like seven minutes.
Still got it.
66 years old, still doing tricks from back in the day.
Aliens can throw up.
Well, the alien hadn't been.
I didn't know an alien was coming yet whenever that woman peeped all over the stage.
I was amazed.
Yeah, I was amazed.
Finally got to see one.
Yeah, I was on, we'll say 70 to 80 milligrams.
Sure.
In there.
Sure. Pretty close sitting.
Yeah.
I was in the middle of that whole thing.
One at a time.
Definitely an alien.
Huh?
Definitely an alien.
Certainly.
Where is Blue 32 right now?
Okay, so it's interesting because I don't know what happens for the next show
because Copperfield was running three shows a night,
but I think Blue 32 left.
I don't want to know spoilers, but I'm not sure he's around anymore.
Is he on his own planet somewhere or what?
I don't know what the next show is for Copperfield.
He's doing three shows a night.
66 years old.
This dude's moving, grooving on the stage out to the middle of the theater.
Hey, a lot of this.
Lights off.
This whole thing, bro bro 66 years old that's the problem though when i'm when i go to a show i just start thinking like
god not a flub from this guy yet like and then he takes a walk away takes a sip of water i'm like
he's got to be giving himself a speech right now like all right cop we're back a thousand
like that's what i'm watching and then all of a sudden boom fucking UFO appears in the flick
big
big
you undersold
the dinosaur
you said there was
a dinosaur too
well I don't want to get
everyone spoiler
yeah what are you talking about
what are you talking about
it was an hour and a half show
did the dinosaur and the alien
know each other
yeah
so now
if you think about it
I know
that was past
and the future
yeah that's a good point
kind of coming together
he didn't tie that together
but that was just me
as I was like, oh.
I didn't know if it was like a pyramids type thing.
All right, let's move on.
Pro Bowl games, first ever one was yesterday.
I think we should talk about it.
A lot of people on the internet were talking about how baby back bullshit
it seemed to have the flag football in the Pro Bowl games.
Do you not remember what the Pro Bowl was?
Come on.
Literally just a year ago.
It was patty cake, patty cake, bakers.
Can't even do two-hand touch on Pro Bowl basically a year ago, it was patty cake, patty cake. Bakers can't even do two-hand touch on Pro Bowl basically a year ago.
Now, I will say it was certainly a much better semblance of what NFL football is
because flag football has its own intricacies that I had no idea about
until I read about it the night before.
Then it turns out those rules might not have been right
because there was a grievance being made by Peyton Eli, the reffing, the NFL
and the flag football community
coming together because the flag football community
wasn't necessarily thrilled with the rules
that we adjusted to make it NFL football.
Like the center just snapping and
taking a knee. Flag football people are not
happy. That's not how. Get him out of space.
Run around. It's not a flag. It's a 7-on-7.
It's a 6-on-7 and a 5-on-7.
This isn't even our sport, really. And the NFL's like, well, this is how we run 7-on-7. This is 6-on-7 and 5-on-7. This isn't even our sport, really.
And the NFL's like, well, this is how we run 7-on-7.
This is how the quarterback's going to be most comfortable.
So they kind of met in the middle.
And I don't think there was ever any pushback.
But they were trying to make the best product they could possibly make.
I thought there was good effort, a couple good plays.
There was some Mickey Mouse bullshit going on out there.
Oh, yeah, sure.
But I was honored to be a part of it.
AJ, what are your thoughts on what the Pro Bowl is now
and what it will probably be four to five years from now?
I will say I took a poll from a lot of the folks that were working
and around there and players and stuff like that.
Okay.
Yeah.
Not a single person liked the water balloons.
What?
Really?
Are you kidding me?
A lot of the players were like, water balloon thing.
I said, really?
Whoa.
I thought that's what people were, you know, coming, showing up to see.
I said, that's why I thought we were recruiting the next year's pro bowlers.
Right.
Hey, come toss the water balloons.
But aside from the water balloons, I like the gridiron gauntlet.
That was sweet.
That was pretty cool.
Cool.
Miles Garrett dislocates his tail once.
That'll probably never happen again.
Yeah.
Okay.
But that was awesome.
That was cool.
The move the chains thing.
Tractor pull was cool.
Yeah.
Move the chains thing was cool.
And so you had no idea what the strategy was.
No, it didn't.
Nobody told them, hey, get the fucking weight off before you pull.
If you got five minutes to cut down a tree, I'm going to spend three of them sharpening the axe.
Hell, that's right.
I'm going to spend four.
The NFL live crew was not happy with the NFC's approach on that fucking game.
They were not.
What do you mean?
Swagoo was pissed.
Was pissed.
I liked how they brought you all together.
Obviously, you and Kirk up in the booth.
I thought it was cool seeing you as the play-by-play guy.
They come to broadcast.
You're doing the open as the play-by-play.
You're like the Al Michaels with Kirk.
How bananas is that?
It had to be cool doing that.
I thought that was a great touch.
And then having the whole NFL Live crew, they had a lot of good people around.
They had a lot of big, positive energy.
I thought it was a success for this first attempt at what they're doing. You know who
big hero of the day was for me? Who?
Pete Davidson. Well, that was
nice. How about that 69 jump?
That was fire. He flopping that thing around.
Now listen, Pete Davidson numerous
times. Why am I here? Yeah. I
appreciated Pete Davidson saying that.
I think he did try to make the most of it and enjoy himself.
And he ended up on the right side. The NFC gets
big time win. Congrats to
Killer Kirk.
Yeah, big time.
Peyton was not.
Kyle, you should check.
You juices.
He should have played quarterback against the Eagles.
What are we doing?
That's true, actually.
He could have figured it out.
Are you kidding me?
The guy's a freak.
He knows every single part of the run game, right, because he's in every single play.
He knows all the motions.
I'm sure he could figure out how to take a snap.
Probably a lot of that.
How did they not have an emergency quarterback, though? AJ, that's real. As somebody who was the emergency quarterback, no big deal in the NFL. I'm sure he could figure out how to take a snap. Probably a lot of times. How did they not have an emergency quarterback, though?
AJ, that's real.
As somebody who was the emergency quarterback, no big deal in the NFL.
No big deal.
No big deal.
Thurston quarterback.
You used to say that to get into things as opposed to saying Pro Bowl punter.
Hey, I'm Thurston quarterback in the NFL.
For the Colts.
Actual stat.
Actually was.
Yeah.
Sweet.
Yeah, we'll let you use this back room to gamble in.
Thank you so much. Hey, I'm Pro Bowl punter in the NFL. Actually was. Sweet. Yeah, we'll let you use this back room to gamble in. Thank you so much.
Hey, I'm a Pro Bowl partner in the NFL.
All right, yeah, you're going to have to be out here at $5 max.
Thank you so much.
But there was no emergency quarterback.
I don't think we judged that ever enough.
I think they should have had a plan.
But it's their fifth quarterback on the season, I guess.
Don't you think the rules will change because of that?
Well, they're going to allow three quarterbacks to dress
and not count against what your 53 or whatever it is now on your day roster?
I guess.
I guess they'll change that rule.
That became a part of the conversation.
I mean, what are the chances another team gets to a championship game
and gets down to their fifth quarterback?
I don't know.
Let's get a chair.
Let's get A.Q. Shipley in here, our first guest of the week.
If we can – I don't know how we even go about doing that, to be clear.
There's some chairs back there.
There's like a headset and a stool.
Yep.
Okay, let's put that stool.
Let's pass the stool down as if we're putting out like a fire old school day.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Pass that water bucket that people used to do.
Those guys that run.
Boom.
Look at us.
Teamwork.
Boom.
That's a table for sure, but certainly.
It's sturdy.
We'll put him right yonder.
Yeah, I think that's right.
That is sturdy.
Is it?
Yeah.
And then he's got a headset.
Can we get AQ out here?
Does anybody hear us?
Does that headset come off?
He can hear us, right?
I don't know.
Here, toss that down.
I'll give it to him.
That one's not going to go.
This is plugged into a whole bunch of stuff.
He's got it.
We passed the headset stuff.
Yeah, Tony, can you reach?
Oh, well, that one.
Real grand entrance, AQ.
Thanks, geez.
AQ Shipley.
All right.
AQ.
AQ. Thanks for coming on, AQ. Thanks, Chase. Thank you, Shipley. All right. Thank you.
Thanks for coming on.
Thank you.
Thanks for coming on.
We're going to give him one of these.
Handhelds.
We appreciate you, man.
There you go.
Look at this.
Thank you.
Boom.
Oh, there you go.
Come on, Z.
Boom.
Boom.
Bang.
It's like Gelman with Regis and Kathie Lee.
Who are you?
Z.
Hey, baby.
Hey, baby, Z.
You can hear us, right?
You'll be able to hear us if we're talking right now?
Yeah, that's a stool.
Yep, going to have to have good balance.
It'll hold you.
It's definitely a stool.
You got great core strength.
That'd be pretty funny.
Jake Lazor here.
Is Jay here today?
Atta baby, we got a baby!
That looks so cool.
Look, that's going to be your shot.
Look at how you look.
You look pretty.
Talk into the microphone. Talk into the microphone.
Talk into the mic.
That thing's muted anyways.
What an entrance.
Can you see if that thing's on?
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
Still muted.
They just tried one mic.
It was somewhere.
I think it was that blue one that points out.
Yeah, they turned the blue one on.
Hello, hello, hello.
Still muted.
Oh, hey, cute. Is me. Oh, AQ.
We're getting closer.
We're getting closer.
If that is just an unplugged.
I think it works.
Oh, no.
Is it plugged in over there?
Let's try it.
I saw Bruce just smack a couple people back there.
We can't hear you.
Oh, shit.
There's a chair.
Look at this baby chair you got.
I might want to raise that a little bit, AQ, for him. Knees. No at this baby chair you got. I might want to raise that.
A little bit of IQ for him.
Knees.
No, no, no, no.
Yeah.
I'm trying to move my chair.
No, no, no.
Get that out of the way.
Come up to the desk.
It's like a Broadway play when the lights go down.
Pass it up.
You got to change all this. This is the scene. All right, we did play when the lights go down and all the passes out. You gotta change all the scene.
All right, we did it.
I mean, we're figuring it out.
I can't hear anything
I'm plugging myself.
Oh, shit.
Show's going great.
I think you're gonna need
a fair amount of slack, AQ.
AQ, you're gonna yank
all the mics out, I think.
This is good.
Yeah.
We were ready. Well, it's 100% our fault. I mean, we... Mine was longer. Yeah, were ready well it's 100 our fault i mean we mine was longer you know
i mean let's not they were not prepared there's nowhere there's no reason to point blame anywhere
but to ourselves that'll be how it works though i think i think this will be the that we're i don't
know if that's gonna work here we go oh yeah it is. You got it. Here, I'm trying to scoot over to give him some space.
No, no, you're good.
You're good.
The chair is locked in.
Look at you.
Hey, how we doing?
Hey.
Let's go.
Look at us.
How about it?
Not bad.
Not bad.
We did it, ladies and gentlemen.
A man who made this city his full-time home after playing for the Cardinals.
Absolute. What? I can't fucking hear you. Ladies and gentlemen, a man who made this city his full-time home after playing for the Cardinals. Absolutely.
I can't fucking hear you.
Yeah, turn his volume up a little bit over there.
I don't know where the box is.
Who's going to win this game, AQ?
Any volume?
He doesn't have a box.
Hey, we can hear you, though.
You can?
Yes.
You sound good.
Yes, very much.
You sound great. We can hear everything about you. Hey, boys. Hey. Can you hear you, though. Yes. Yes, very much. You sound great.
We can hear everything about you.
Hey, boys.
Hey.
Can you hear yourself?
Nope.
Okay, can you hear us?
Yep.
All right, sweet.
Why don't you take one ear?
Why don't you put one ear?
There we go.
There it is.
There it is.
AQ, whenever you think about 76% of the money being on the Philadelphia Eagles,
do you think it's strictly because they see what you see,
where nobody's going to be able to stop that Eagles on the Chiefs defense?
That's exactly what they see. That's exactly what they see what you see, where nobody's going to be able to stop that Eagles on the Chiefs defense?
That's exactly what they see.
That's exactly what they see.
I mean, the offensive line is unbelievable.
The defense is unbelievable.
Oh, we can't hear you.
Shit.
I'm joking.
We can hear you.
We can hear you. We can hear you.
We can hear you.
We can hear you.
Can we just sit like this?
Can we get it all?
I don't think that works.
No, it doesn't.
No, it doesn't.
Are we on right now?
You are.
Yeah, you are.
Oh, you're back. You're back. Oh, yeah. You're. Yeah, you are. Oh, you're back.
You're back.
You're back.
Sound good.
Yeah, the Eagles are unbelievable.
Okay.
What?
AQ, I got a real football question for you.
What if the Eagles fall behind, let's say 14-0 early?
Are they a team that can come from behind and win?
There you go.
Well, that's a great question, and that's my biggest question mark with Jalen Hurts.
I really don't know.
I have no idea.
Number two QBR in the NFL.
They haven't been in that situation.
Number two QBR with everything working for them, with the play action,
with the run game, with everything working.
When he has to be a straight drop-back passer, we haven't seen it this year.
We haven't had to see it.
I tend to agree, but they have come back against the Colts.
They were down by a double-ditch, and I believe against the Jaguars.
And you're going to bring up the Cardinals when he came back,
and what did they do to win the game?
They ran the ball for 80 yards.
That's what I'm thinking, though.
I think there's a chance that they don't care if they have to.
They just stick with the run game.
They don't think they've got to drop back and pass
because they're an explosive fucking team.
They can score any time, no matter what, with the zone read,
dump over top to the big Batman they got.
Is there a worry that the Eagles' defense has been tested?
Yeah, I think it's a little bit of a worry.
Because, listen, Mahomes could very easily.
I mean, they could be 21-0 in the first half.
It could happen like that.
And so that's probably the biggest thing.
Have you been watching these highlights, Patrick Mahomes?
They've been running on every single sports network.
It's ridiculous.
In the Super Bowl and on the Super Bowl.
And then 76% of the money is against them.
I'm so fascinated and confused by it.
Do you think the Batch Bones will have success against that Philadelphia Eagles defense?
Diggs, what is number 78 sacks?
I know they're a handful of sacks away from the 84 and the 85 Bears
who have the record for most sacks all time, including the playoffs in a single season.
And they reloaded halfway through the season.
They brought in Dominick and Sue and Linvale Joseph on that D-line.
Robert Quinn. Because one of their potential weaknesses of that defense at that time And they reloaded halfway through the season. They brought in Dominick and Sue and Linvale Joseph on that D-line.
Because one of their potential weaknesses of that defense at that time was they had that Washington football team, or sorry, commanders game,
where the commanders kind of controlled the clock and stuff with the run game.
And then they brought in Linvale Joseph and Dominick and Sue to stop the run.
And now we've got a son, Redick, too.
He comes in and rushes. How many sacks do you have this year? 18, 19, something we've got a son, Redick, too. He comes in rushing.
How many sacks do you have this year?
18, 19, something like that.
17, 15, something like that.
He's pretty good.
Yeah, he's the one that took Doc Purdy down.
Same from here.
Arizona, right?
Yeah, we played him at middle linebacker.
We were crushing it.
That was a good choice.
Genius.
Hey, what you said about the Arizona Cardinals facility is not right.
It wasn't right.
Can't have it.
It's fucked up.
Biddle has got a blog.
You see that?
I didn't know he had one.
Wait, what?
He's got a blog?
I think so.
What does that even mean? Every tweet that I was reading out of that particular blog, But Biddle's got a blog. You see that? I didn't know he had one. Wait, what? He's got a blog? I think so. It sounded like it.
What does that even mean?
Every tweet that I was reading out of that particular blog, it sounded like somebody
that had real ax to grind on saying that the facilities were okay.
That would only be ownership.
I loved everything that they said because everything that they said, they said about
the stadium.
They said about his plane.
Stadium's beautiful.
Plane is beautiful.
They said about all these things that have nothing to do with the facility.
Yeah.
Well, you don't know. Which is interesting. I've never been inside that thing. What they said about you is despicable, though. Yeah, he said you're beautiful. Plane is beautiful. They said about all these things that have nothing to do with the facility. Yeah. Well, you don't know. Which is
interesting. I've never been inside that thing. What they said
about you is despicable, though. Yeah, they said you're
a big fat guy. Yeah, big fat dipshit.
I didn't see that. Dumb fuck. I've never heard that about
an office. I don't agree with that. That's what they said, though.
I heard it. I disagree. It might not have been that one,
but it was certainly one of them. Yeah, we all disagree
with that. I disagree with that. Disgusting. Who was that?
They said measure his arms. Let's find out who they are.
Yeah. I bet you could bench 9,000 pounds, though. Disgusting. Who was that? They said measures arms. Let's find that guy. They are. Yeah.
I bet you could bench 9,000 pounds, though.
Yeah, exactly.
In a weight room with a weight room floor that's popping up.
Let's talk about a D coordinator that just signed with the Carolina Panthers.
I believe this was a surprise to a lot of us strictly because I thought he was potentially still in the running for a head coaching gig with the Indianapolis Colts.
Right.
Defensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers and Frank Reich,
Ejero Ivero out of the Denver Broncos organization.
Everybody thought that Sean Payton was going to attempt to keep him as his
D coordinator because of how great the Denver Broncos defense is.
But instead, now he's with Frank Reich in Carolina.
Brian Burns and the boys got a new guy calling the plays.
I like this signing by the Panthers and congrats to Frank Reich.
It's a great, it's a great signing.
Shut up.
Does that?
Can you flip that?
How do we get to it?
He's right.
Yep.
This one's coming, Ian.
This one's coming.
Right here.
Son of a bitch.
You're right.
There he is.
There he is.
There he is.
There he is.
Hey, how you doing?
I'm good.
Glad to see you guys made it.
Good job on the Pro Bowl.
I was watching, obviously, on my flight with my TV.
Well, I appreciate that.
What have you got all week, dude?
What are you doing?
Breaking news?
Got some news.
I'm hanging out with you on Wednesday.
Did you know that?
Are you?
You're on our show on Wednesday?
What?
Oh!
Breaking news. Who booked that? Who booked that? Are you? You're on our show on Wednesday? What? Oh! Breaking news.
Who booked that?
Who booked that?
Wow.
Sources.
Sources.
Sources?
You got a glass full of Baileys there already this morning?
Hey, we don't have any room.
Wednesday.
Wednesday's booked.
Wednesday's booked.
Yeah.
Wednesday's booked.
Hey, great to see you, Rap.
Love you, Rap.
Love you, Rap.
Hey, hey, hey.
Rap, Rap, Rap, Rap, Rap, Rap, Rap.
Hey, Ejero, Ivero going to the Panthers.
Surprise, right?
Sean Payton didn't want him.
What's the deal?
He didn't want to go back to Denver.
He wanted out.
How about the Colts?
He was never going to be the head coach of the Colts?
Not this year.
Who's going to be the head coach of the Colts?
Saturday. It's Jeff Saturday. the head coach of the Colts? Saturday.
It's Jeff Saturday.
I don't know.
Jeff Saturday?
It's leaning against Saturday now.
Wow.
Towards who?
They've got so many.
That's what today is about, I think, is them meeting and trying to figure out, like, who's left and who's not.
Are they out here meeting, you think, or are they back at Indy?
Back at Indy.
Who are they going to do for coordinators?
Parks Frazier.
Enough with your faces.
All right.
Thank you.
Thank you, Rap.
Thank you, Rap.
Thank you, Rap.
The crowd mic's kind of nice.
Yeah, that was nice.
We've got to find which ones are numbered where,
because there's another microphone out there we could have tossed to him as well.
We'll figure it out as we go.
This is just our first day here, first hour here.
We literally got here just a moment before it started.
EJ Rivera going to Carolina is a big pickup for Frank Reich
though, AJ Hawk. Yeah, I mean, how long are you going to keep him
though? Doesn't he seem like he's one of the guys
who is going to be a head coach probably next year?
So yeah, hopefully... Hold on,
that's the complete opposite. Hold on, this is
what we were talking about. We were talking about the offensive...
He's defense. Yeah, he's a defensive guy.
He's getting up and leaving. You don't want to lose a great defense
coordinator either, I guess. Maybe we were out of pocket for that whole take to begin with. Yeah, we might a defensive guy. He's getting up and leaving. You don't want to lose a great defense coordinator either, I guess.
So maybe we were out of pocket for that whole take to begin with.
Yeah, we might have been out of pocket for that.
He seems like he's a rising star, though, in the coaching ranks.
And we know that, obviously, being hired as a D coordinator.
But I could just see him head coach next year for sure.
Steve Wilkes, right?
He's interviewing for the Cardinals job?
Yes.
And the 49ers job, which would be big.
How come?
So I think that's a great move because, listen,
if you look at everywhere he's had success,
it was the Chicago Bears and it was the Carolina Panthers.
What were the keys to both of them?
Great linebackers.
He goes there.
He's got his Fred Warner.
He's got his guys.
And he can do everything he wants to do with the double barrel stuff,
the all eight up and blitz and bail out and
do everything he wants to do.
So like Lou Anarumo, he's through the DBs or through the, what is his defensive style?
Because it sounds like you just said that he's everything, Steve Wilkes is everything
through the linebackers are the stars of it basically.
Well, listen, you just like being with Steve and watching him with Keekly.
Keekly was so smart.
He was able to run everything.
Whenever offenses made checks, you'd always see Keekly doing this thing
and making a check, switching it, flipping
it, doing all the different things.
And then, ah!
Exactly. All that stuff. And that's kind of what
his same thing with Urlacher and Briggs, right?
That was his whole thing when he was in Chicago.
And so, that's what makes him so good.
That's what makes his defense good. And it's all predicated
on the linebacker play. Alright. Cardinals
three head coaching finalists are Brian Flores,
defensive guy, obviously, former head
coach of the Dolphins, defense coordinator
for the Patriots, Lou Arumo.
Okay. Defense coordinator for the
Bengals, automatically finalist already.
Congrats to him. Come on, Lou.
And then, obviously, Kafka out of the
New York Giants organization.
Dayball was not the one calling
plays. Kafka was the one calling plays.
So that would be a great signing for anybody that's looking for maybe an offensive-minded.
Is it because nobody wants to come here and coach here,
or is it because the Cardinals are taking their time?
Follow-up, what's going on with the Colts?
Are we going to hire anybody ever?
I don't know what's going on in Arizona.
But listen, I think if you look when they hired Wilkes, it was late as well.
I think that's just he likes to take his time he likes to do all his due diligence that's like
jim yeah yeah yeah sure like jim yeah kind of absolutely just like jim ursa he likes to take
his time in the bathroom yeah because he's takes time for sure the guy took a massive shit in
he did sue him yeah billion billionaires are just like us.
They got to blow up a toilet.
I had a nice bidet in there.
He probably was just enjoying that.
Oh, I couldn't even.
The family one probably had a good one.
Out in Vegas, I seen the, there's the bidet in the room.
Yeah.
The different toilet bidet.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's old school.
That's old school.
Yeah, bidet.
I didn't give it a go.
Did you do it?
No, I don't know.
Do you turn on the fountain and you got to drop it down like it's Bellagio Fountains.
How does it work?
I didn't want to roll the dice.
And I also didn't want to flood the bathroom.
I was told you just turn it as hard as possible and just aim it right at your bottle.
But doesn't it just spray up and hit the ceiling, though, if you're not on there?
Bingo.
Yeah, so I wasn't rolling the dice.
No.
I'll tell you what.
I would have loved a nice little butt.
What if Mr. Ursae wasn't feeling well and he decided to throw up in the toilet
while he was coming out both ends at one time and it was just all over the walls?
There's a chance.
And that's why Josh McDaniels is the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders.
That's exactly right.
And not the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts.
He got stuck in like an A.C. Slater, perhaps.
He just couldn't move all of a sudden.
It's not bad to do that in the middle of the night.
That's actually the right play whenever you want to rest your legs a little bit.
Let's go through some more stuff.
Trent Williams is not retiring from the NFL.
That's great news.
Welcome back, big dog.
Thank you, Trent.
Thank you, Trent, for continuing to move bodies for at least another season.
Got a chance to see him out at the Pro Bowl, kind of mosey around, walk around.
What a big fucking human this is.
Huge.
Trent Williams for sure returning, according to reports, wasn't in doubt,
but should quell some nerves
on here. And that's from Lombardi
himself. And he was looking out for the temperature
of those on Twitter which I appreciate.
Trent Williams retiring would have been
terrible for the league. Especially
with how he is now with his Niners team. He's got
business to finish. Doesn't he AQ?
That's right. He's been there a couple years
now and they've been close. They've been close.
They've been close. They gotta been close. They've got to keep the quarterback healthy,
and we've got a championship in San Fran, boys.
You think so?
Really?
Who's Shanahan can't keep the quarterback healthy?
He can't.
This guy can't do it.
He can't.
I wish he could.
Is Brock getting the full reconstruction, do we know, on his elbow?
Apparently he is having Tommy John, yes.
Six to nine months.
Yeah, but when he comes back, it's going to be a rookie of the year.
Yeah, rookie of the year. You're right.
And then going to make it a Super Bowl.
Yeah. And then it's going to go bad. He's going to throw
left-handed. Floaters. So does Trey start
the season then? That's right. Yeah, what happens
with Trey Lance? Trey Lance is starter.
Yeah. Trey Lance is starter. So this actually
gives the Niners like an incredible
Yep. We wanted
to. And if he struggles, you can pop Brock in when he becomes healthy.
Yeah, he's healthy, and Trey's going.
Nobody's even going to think.
They're going to be like, we got a great backup in Brock Purdy,
a man who's already won.
It almost works out better for them.
They came out and said, we do not have Jimmy Garoppolo on the roster next year.
No.
Well, because Aaron said he's not going to Aaron either.
So let's talk about Aaron.
A.J. Hawk probably has all the information we need to know.
This past weekend, Aaron Rodgers, for the first time in a long time,
was able to play in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am presented by AT&T.
And he talked about how he could maybe quell some competitive urges
by playing in the Pro-Am.
He doesn't normally get to play in it because of what the season is doing
and what the Packers are doing.
This year had the opportunity to do so.
Was excited.
Got a brand-new drive from TaylorMade on Friday before the whole thing started.
He was obviously out there all week working on it.
He was doing his best.
The motherfucker won.
He did.
Dude just won in there and won.
Congrats, Aaron Rodgers.
Yeah.
Now, Ty, correct me if I'm wrong,
because I didn't get a chance to see all the clips out of this
while the Pro Bowl was taking place, the Pro Bowl games.
I apologize.
But I believe he sandbagged, bamboozled.
That's what Josh Allen is alluding to with his handicap and everything like that?
Yeah, so Josh Allen, a lot of people online were saying,
hey, this is bullshit.
This guy was playing to a 10 handicap this week.
I don't know if he actually did, but basically, yeah, people were saying,
I mean, this guy's damn near a scratch golfer, and he's getting 10 shots.
What the hell is going on?
Josh Allen said, hey, yeah, I'm playing to a 9 handicap.
I'm definitely not as good as you are.
So you give me your handicap.
Who knows?
Maybe things work out a little bit differently.
Now, to get a handicap, you have to play a lot of golf.
You have to have them registered and documented.
And at the bottom of the screen, I think they were saying the clubs people were at
and what their handicap was and everything.
Aaron, on the record, does not play a lot of golf.
That's right.
He just shows up whenever a camera's around and just is fucking unbelievable at golf.
Is he thinking about becoming a professional golfer?
Did this past weekend's success
and the amount of shit that was talked to him
because saying, oh, the only reason why you won
is because you sandbagged everybody.
Is that going to be something
that maybe will sway him into retirement?
Or is there a chance that all the Raiders fans
that were pebbled around Pebble Beach
peckering him with so many quotes and chants about being a Raider
and questions about Devontae Adams.
Is that going to make him want to be a Las Vegas Raider?
Ian Rappaport, the man that was four-foot-tall standing right over there
just moments ago, last week he said if he wants to go back to the Packers,
the Packers are going to take him.
Just kind of ingest his assumption or inside source,
punditry or actual knowledge.
We don't know when it comes to these insiders.
But whenever you see this past weekend the success he had in golf, okay,
is he going to go be a professional golfer?
Is that how he's going to satisfy his competitive urges that he knows
is going to be a problem when he's retiring from football?
Or did the Raiders fan sway him?
Because he was around a lot of Raiders fans.
Yep, yep.
And he accomplished great success.
He did.
Did the universe just drop these Raiders fans, pirates,
onto this course to showcase to him that this is just the first win?
There's a lot more wins coming.
How do you read it all, AJ?
And what do you think we find out from the man himself, Mignogna?
I mean, I was impressed that he won the tournament.
I think he even said afterwards, like,
this is a big deal for me to win this thing.
And I know people go out there and just want to make the cut a lot of times.
And he not only made the cut, he found a way to win the tournament.
And if people are giving him a hard time for being a 10 handicap, if they accepted it, why are you giving him a hard time?
Like, if they had invited me, I'd say I'm a 29.
Hey, don't hate the player.
That's right.
Hate the game.
Classic Buffalo.
But the Raiders feel like a real possibility even more now than before, I guess.
Listen to him and how all the fans that love him and everyone out there.
And the Raiders need a quarterback, right?
So why wouldn't they make a play at Aaron Rodgers?
I know I would.
And Devontae, you know, was asked by Cameron Wolfe,
are you recruiting Aaron and Devontae O'Shea?
Why wouldn't you?
Yeah.
He's buying them a house.
Someone's got to be there, right?
Like, who are the options for the Raiders?
Jimmy G, is he an option? Yep.
Anybody but Derek Carr? Stud them.
Stud them. They just don't have picks
to give the Packers. They got to give players.
So they didn't kick him out of the building,
I learned. Oh, really? Did you get the
chatter? Derek Carr, you're saying? Yeah, they didn't kick
Derek Carr out of the building. Interesting.
They had a great line this weekend. Which one?
About how, you know, he's never been this hot in Vegas.
Oh, yeah, with Ryan Clark.
Yeah, it was actually awesome.
I actually told him that.
I said, hey, the way you're handling all this in the Raiders practice facility.
Yes.
In the Raiders building.
Yeah.
And then you're cracking jokes about the whole situation.
I think you turned baby face to a lot of fan bases that were maybe like,
okay, yeah, Derek Carr will be.
And I'm only saying that because, like, hey, Colts need a quarterback.
That's right.
Colts need a quarterback. Did's right. Colts need a quarterback.
Did you ask him about his healing abilities?
Well, I didn't get to mention that I saw him pop his hip flexor off of his body
on Thursday night and then come back 10 days later and play the game
because that's a tough one to recover from.
The hip flexor controls a lot, and he looked like he was down and out.
He's a guy, though, that's going to be a quarterback for a team.
I asked Insider. Rap sheet? The short. He's a guy, though, that's going to be a quarterback for a team. I asked an insider.
Rapsheet?
The short guy.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
No, no, no.
You're not alluding to anyone.
Just an insider.
Oh, yeah.
You're just pointing.
I asked an insider before the Pro Bowl, like, hey,
can you give me some information on some of these guys whose situations are
coming up?
And I asked him about Derek Carr.
Because there was a thought, conversation, when it first was mentioned,
and we all kind of came around on it.
Oh, some team's going to trade for Derek Carr and pay him $40 million.
Because $40 million is a lot of money, but also,
if you're a team that just needs a quarterback that can kind of get you
through a game, through a season, pull the trigger.
Matt Ryan was traded for with like $100 million left.
Yeah.
And we experienced it.
We don't have to talk any more about that.
Now it's getting, as it gets closer to next Wednesday, February 15th,
that $40 million trigger, or the Raiders only owe $5 million in dead cap
if they cut him before then.
I guess now it's like 75%, 25%.
Cut.
Going to be a free agent, going to be able to do what he's doing.
Allegedly.
That is what's being reported to me via my sources
who have sources
about the conversation, how it's going.
So everybody's thinking he's going to get cut, I guess
at this point, because $40 million guaranteed
people probably think they'll be able to negotiate
less maybe, but also Derek Carr
is not allowed, his team's not been allowed to
seek a trade partner either.
So I don't know how it all goes.
Is that
he getting cut because the Raiders are doing the nice thing
and then he gets to decide where he wants to go?
Or is it strictly the money thing?
Wayne can't find a trade partner?
Yeah, I have no idea.
I wasn't, I haven't really got a chance to ask him.
They would love to trade him.
The Raiders would love to trade him.
But they probably know other teams are going to wait and say,
all right, if they cut him, we get him for cheaper.
Why wouldn't you let Derek Carr and his team?
Yeah, why wouldn't you let him?
He's been there for 10 years, nine years.
Well, they probably know his team behind the scenes,
whether you consider it tampering or not,
has been working the phones trying to figure out who possibly could need us.
Isn't that good for the Raiders?
Because instead of owing them $5 million, it would be $0,
and you would get something out of it.
They definitely want to trade him.
And there are teams that want to trade for a veteran quarterback.
They've already openly pined for it.
Jets, Bucs now are in it.
The entire NFC South.
Yeah.
That's what I'm saying.
So I don't understand why that was even a storyline.
Who's the first domino to fall?
Like Jimmy G, Aaron Rodgers, Derek Carr.
Who's the first?
I think Carr is.
That's breaking.
Put that on the ticker if we have one.
I don't know if we have a ticker.
Whether Aaron's back in Green Bay or not or he goes somewhere else.
He's a domino.
AJ just said that Aaron Rod we have a ticker. Whether Aaron's back in Green Bay or not, or he goes somewhere else. AJ just said that
Aaron Rodgers is a dominant.
I got a question. Why is everyone on TV
just assume Aaron's not coming back to Green Bay?
When I watch him interview at Pebble and all this stuff,
all they're talking about is, hey, where are you going to go?
Where are you going to go? Because Schefter reported that it's more likely
or it's possible likely.
Really? Actual? What was it?
Real possibility.
Real possibility he could be traded. So then that just became... Yeah, it's a possibility. it? Real possibility. Real possibility he could be traded.
So then that just became...
Yeah, it's a possibility.
Everything's a possibility.
Go on. I saw an alien the other day with David Copperfield.
A dinosaur and an alien spacecraft
all in a 90 minute span.
And David Copperfield.
And a lady pig.
That's right.
Is he writing on a whiteboard? What's he writing on? pick. That's right. All over the stage. Okay, mop, mop.
Is he writing on a whiteboard?
What's he writing on?
Smell that?
Just a mop, I assume.
Then he came back with anti- disinfectant spray.
Put a towel over top of it, sprayed it down.
Hands sanitized. Like the stuff that
Academy in Tennessee had to spray down
the entire locker room.
Not the Lipscomb Academy.
That was actually COVID.
Hey, bullies of Baltimore.
We're seeing some clips out of that.
Trent Dilvers talking a little shit, talking a little shit.
It was nice to see the boys kind of draw a little bit of a reunion.
You played for the Baltimore Ravens for a bit.
Is that team held in high regards over there?
I assume it is.
I mean, yeah.
That's the staple.
Arguably the best defense in the history of the game.
I mean, they single-handedly
won that super bowl trying to over sit there talking about today's quarterbacks not exactly
impressive the defense won the super bowl yeah pipe down trying to like i mean are we i think
trent has had trent has heard a lot of that i assume what exactly did trent say honestly he
was knocking current quarterbacks he said they're yes yeah he said basically the with the way
receivers can't get hit going over the middle quarterbacks can't get they're done. Yeah, he said basically with the way receivers can't get hit going
over the middle, quarterbacks can't get hit anymore.
He said... It's just easy now? Yeah, Brady
and Rodgers, like, yeah, they're great.
I'm not impressed by anything these guys do,
but you guys, what you guys did,
and I assume he was just talking to, you know,
some old, like, Ravens.
Oh, we thought Navy Seals.
I thought he was talking to the troops.
He was just trying to pump up his own guys, though.
Yes.
But he didn't need to tear the current guys down to pump up his own.
Yeah, but I would assume Trent's going to say that he didn't tear them down.
He was just making a comparison.
Aaron and Tom would not be upset by what I'm saying here.
Tom, not shirtless on the internet this morning.
Yeah, Tom, that was an interesting photo.
Was that him?
We're sure that wasn't him.
The internet's mixed reviews.
Did people see it?
Did a lot of people see it?
Tom Brady's turned into an Instagram model.
That's why he retired.
He's all in on Brady Brand.
Holding his pecker in his hands.
What?
Two hands.
Two hands.
He had his dong in both hands?
Oh, yeah.
Two hands.
Does he have an only fan?
Oh, no.
Only one hand.
Yikes.
Is it for only fans or what's he doing?
He's using his whole forearm, bro.
The thing's tucked over his hip.
So that's him?
He's trying to move briefs.
Pretty cool.
Hold on.
Back to the photo, please, just so we can see the view.
Look where he's living right now, bro.
Tony, is that the one you said you thought he was on a yacht?
With that palm tree?
And then I saw the palm tree.
But then I thought he's got enough money.
He could put a fucking palm tree on a yacht if he wanted to.
Hey, Tom, dude, what you got to do, pal?
Sheets on the other side of the bed are moved.
Dude, what you got to do?
Uh-oh.
I'm wondering who's sleeping in there with him.
Uh-oh.
Do you feel him?
Hey, why don't you bend over and do a quarterback snap like the old days?
Hey, that's a great vision.
Say, hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Way, way, side, way, way, way, way, way, way, way.
Hey, if you could move a little closer to the board.
Turn around.
Turn around. Turn around. Don't break that again. to the board. Turn around. Turn around.
Turn around.
Don't break that.
No, don't turn around.
Turn around.
No more memes for me.
Just look how unbelievable he is.
I'm having enough memes.
He does look great.
He looks unbelievable.
Why did he retire?
He looks awesome.
Look over here.
He looks like Jason Bateman a little bit in the face.
Well, we're just reenacting the old days down in Super Bowl
Championship.
Yeah, come on.
Reach your arm up.
Let me get out of this.
I mean someone someone screenshot that.
Anyways, Tom, live your life, baby.
Tom, he might be just flicking his anaconda trying to wake it up for round two.
You never know.
You're unkempt.
Boys were tired.
Nothing to do.
All right.
Let's get to a break here.
Our to be on the other side.
We got a sugar.
Sean O'Malley joining us today.
He's an Arizona native.
He'll be here in like
12.05 local,
2.05 eastern.
Vegas, three hour difference.
Arizona, two hour difference.
Interesting.
I thought Arizona
was to the left.
It is to the left,
but it's not far enough left
to do the mountain, right?
Yep.
That's right.
Welcome to the desert.
Aren't they Pacific
sometimes?
Thank you.
It's great having you here.
What do you guys pick and choose when you're due?
I don't know. I think in a year it all goes to West Coast, right?
No, it all goes to East Coast.
So how would you go then? When we don't switch
it'll be three hours. So you'll be with LA.
Yep.
Well, good luck out there.
Live from Radio Row
here in the Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona,
for Super Bowl LIV as the Chiefs and the Eagles will battle it out this Sunday
at University of State Farm Stadium.
Yeah, Mike works.
You just got to get on that thing.
All the boys are here.
The talk's at the table at Boston Conner at Ty Schmidt,
sitting directly next to one half of the Hammer Cowboys Town Digs,
right next to host to the Bobbled Exchange in the main.
Nope. Nope. In the trenches.
A.Q. Shipley, that a baby Super Bowl champion, another Super Bowl champion.
A.J. Hawk is here on the stage. We got two Super Bowl rings. Feels good, bud.
Let's talk about Super Bowl football. A.J., we'll start with you.
Guardian caps that were used in training camp are obviously something that you were very excited about and thankful for.
Yep.
For this world of football.
And I think I saw a lot of the same people that are pissed off about the Guardian football caps pissed off about the Pro Bowl yesterday.
Mm-hmm.
What the fuck has football become?
This ain't football.
What is this all about?
Flag football.
My kids play flag football.
What is this all about? Flag football. My kids play flag football. And although there has been an incredible growth of flag football and its influence on the next generation of football fans, there was a lot of people that were watching what they were watching yesterday thinking this ain't football.
And there's been a lot of that taking place over what, like the last decade or two as we've learned more and more about what the brain is and what the brain could become with forced trauma to the head. Let's go to two men whose heads have literally just forced trauma for a profession for a long time.
When the Guardian Cavs were brought in, all the old school football people say, hey, if
you're happy, run around with a bunch of fucking pillows on your head.
What's that?
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah, this used to be a man's game.
Now we got a fucking bunch of people wearing pillows wrapped around helmets.
What's next?
Okay, we're going to take the helmets off.
Maybe we'll be bubble boys playing football.
Maybe we'll look like that kid who had the overbearing mom who didn't want him
to get any of the allergies or anything like that.
Had him walk around a bubble.
Football is turning into soccer, which is turning into basketball.
We only have football.
That was the conversation about the guardian caps.
Just about the guardian caps that had already been taking place in college.
The NFL saw a 10% increase, decrease in force per person wearing a Guardian Cap.
That's correct.
If 11 people were able to run their head into each other,
110% of force had been saved on the brain in that one collision.
That's right.
They're expanding this whole thing.
Guardian Cap is going to go to more positions, more days of practice,
maybe all season long.
A.J. Hawk is a Super Bowl champion
here. What are your thoughts on old Mark
Maskey's report here about the Guardian
caps in a new age NFL?
Well, I am a fan of saying if you're
going to endure
any head trauma, get it
in the game. Don't waste that in practice. Don't get
any head trauma in practice. So I guess Guardian
caps, if they help in practice with that, cool.
Looks terrible.
Players don't like it.
I don't know how it's going to be a sustainable thing in the future.
But we saw, was it 18% concussions were up this year in the NFL, I believe,
when it comes to numbers, something like that?
Okay, is this a dumb question?
C, am I going to ask it still?
Yes.
We, okay, international show right there.
Oh, yeah.
I am cultured before I ask this question.
Yes.
Do you have to toughen up your brain?
Okay.
Every other muscle in your body, training camp, has to get football ready.
Okay?
Has to get football ready.
Okay?
Bruises, it hurts, got to take some shots, got to be able to do it.
Whenever we were watching there early in the season when everybody was like,
hit out, hit out, hit out, I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, what the hell's going on?
Dumb question probably, but legitimately, football's never going to be able to get rid of helmets hitting each other.
It's always going to be able to happen, but the Guardian cap maybe draws back the danger a little bit.
A.Q. Shipley, a man who's been a coach and a player in the NFL?
I hate the Guardian cap.
Why?
I just don't like it.
I don't like the way it looks.
You play football from the time you're this big until the time you get to that level, I hate the Guardian cap. I just don't like it. I don't like the way it looks.
You play football from the time you're this big until the time you get to that level.
And you're probably right, yeah.
You probably do need those hits.
Why are we softening them than to go into game and take it off?
I should not have asked you immediately.
Probably not.
That should not have been me.
One more.
AQ, if you practice with a Guardian cap on,
I would like to know how it feels.
I've never practiced with one on.
Oh, okay.
So you don't know. This guy doesn't know. What feels. I've never practiced with one on. Oh, okay. So you don't know.
This guy doesn't know.
What about the new helmets?
I've seen them.
They look terrible.
Quarterback specialist helmets,
which I think this was a conversation we had whenever the NFL,
because the NFL was trying to fix its concussion thing.
And by concussion thing,
I'm already downgrading the seriousness in a fashion that I am doing
irresponsibly.
Sorry.
But the concussion thing became a real thing because Dr. Will Smith came out of South Africa,
went over to the city of Pittsburgh, and released to the world that the NFL has known that the brains are getting fucked
and that a lot of the legends that are having issues are stemming from a disease that we haven't even heard of yet.
Boom, CT comes in here.
Now we start learning more and more about the brain. More and more about these collisions.
And the NFL knows that they have to stop
that because they can't just be battling multi-billion
dollar lawsuits from its former
players forever from the damage that
has already been done. When they
maybe turning an eye to
or knowing and saying, let the boys
play. Whoever knows what it is.
So they've been trying to figure it out. The Guardian
cap has obviously been something that they've been able to kind of I don't want to say to it is. So they've been trying to figure it out. The Guardian cap has obviously been something
that they've been able to kind of,
I don't want to say toad around, but they've
seemingly been very proud of the Guardian
cap. They've been pitching it pretty hard.
I assume they're going to continue to do so,
and I'm going to miss that pop, though.
You know, training camp.
Pads popping.
Helmets busting.
But maybe we save some guys from themselves for later and that
is something that we should think about i guess is this definitely just because of tua like is this
prime time game yeah and then what i mean and then he he gets dinged up again and plays the
entire fourth quarter of the packers game throws three interceptions and then spends it's in a game
though it's all in the game so Guardian caps in practice still. We're still
going to have the same issues in games. Yeah, but I'm saying
are they kind of bringing this back
to the forefront because all of the stuff with
Tua was so public this year? So whenever we
were talking about the helmet for
the positions, we actually
theorized, and I assume they were doing this behind
those doors as well. We're not going to act like we're
the only humans ever doing this, but
some big fucking spaceship helmet for these quarterbacks
that basically whenever they get tackled just pops out like,
boom, this guy and I small and beanbag chair all of a sudden.
And then you sit up, you unplug it, and then you kind of go in again.
I think that's a smart concept.
I think it's a smart idea.
Obviously it doesn't have to be that dramatic or absurd,
but a little bit more padding on the back of the head,
which is causing a lot of these problems now.
There is supergrass coming to one of these stadiums.
Yeah, that is right.
So maybe the supergrass will be able to become a trampoline in different moments
whenever they know somebody's head is going to hit it.
Sure.
More specifically, a quarterback's head is about to hit it.
But I think there is other ways to go around as opposed to just guardian caps,
and I think they are looking into that as well.
So if the Guardian caps are so great
and we get the 10% per helmet that's involved,
how come they aren't making them wear them in the games?
Because obviously the Guardian cap is terrible to look at.
Fans need that pop.
And also a brand.
Yeah, you can't cover up the logo.
When they add horseshoe, you're going to cover up.
They're doing it in practice already.
I didn't say I wanted it.
Do these owners know that?
Hey, Jerry.
Hey, Jer.
Jer.
Yeah, right.
Jer's got Guardian Caps and big old stars.
Yeah, exactly.
Big old stars.
Makes his own.
I assume that's the next level of this whole thing.
But I think the next generation, unlike you meatheads, they don't care.
Yeah, because they do it in seven-on-seven.
You really think they don't care?
I don't know.
What do you – like, AQ, you were coaching, what, two years ago?
Yeah. And you're still coaching guys now, right? Do you think young guys like-seven. You really think they don't care? I don't know. What do you – like, AQ, you were coaching, what, two years ago? Yeah.
And you're still coaching guys now, right?
Do you think young guys, like, are –
No, I think they hate him.
I think the minute that two-week period for linemen is out the window
in the garden, they're happy again.
Okay.
I just don't know what it feels like.
Again, like, we probably have to get that answer, but it's like, you know,
like that first nine-on-seven practice, right?
You're running nine-on-seven.
You run a gap scheme.
A.J. blitzes through the backside A. Oh, yeah, A.J., you're you're running nine on seven you run a gap scheme aj blitzes through the back side a like oh yeah aj you're fucking humming though dude not fast enough to
not get scratched whenever there's a mobile quarterback correct but certainly with a little
bit of force and a little bit of explosion through the but i always i i used to look forward for that
first like hit like okay we're back like we're back okay now anxiety i know what this feels like
again now and like honestly like i mean i mean how many hits have we had on our helmets?
Like, you don't feel it.
You don't feel it.
Well, that's because you guys have.
Yeah, you hope so.
Thick skulls.
And also probably.
Oh, yeah.
99% of the hits you don't feel, though.
Like, let's be honest.
I felt every single one I took two weeks afterwards.
I mean, you wore the fake helmet.
James Harrison was wearing a special concussion helmet to give people concussions.
Yeah, even guys on his own team. Yeah.
Yeah, what happened there? I learned about that this weekend.
What took place there? I don't know. What workout
was that, by the way? Did you see the photo
he tweeted out?
I heard that one.
I heard that one. That was bad.
You had to have felt that one, too.
No, I swear. It doesn't feel bad.
You know, after I yelled during the Peach Bowl there, that whole
next week, there ain't nothing like having
a job where you gotta speak for a living.
And then every single time you speak, not
knowing if it's gonna show up or not.
Like having no idea. That's a whole...
Hey, thank you for battling, Carter.
I can't tell you how pissed off I've been
these past couple days. But we're here.
We're doing it. Hey, it's only gonna get better from here.
More tea, I guess. But the Guardian is gonna continue to grow. More ideas are gonna get used too. But we're here. We're doing it. Hey, it's only going to get better from here. Exactly. More tea, I guess. But the Guardian
is going to continue to grow. More ideas are going to get
used, too. And they're going to use ideas from
outside the NFL. I heard
some of the ideas for a Pro Bowl
didn't necessarily come from
the broadcast partner or the league.
They're hiring a lot of... Really?
Hey, let's make some ideas. Let's make some decisions here.
Like outside think tanks? Yeah.
How much are those guys getting paid?
Millions of dollars.
I would assume more than like players are making insurance-wise after five years.
Maybe their wife's pregnant in the middle of it, I assume.
I hope they didn't.
You know, it's not easy to hold that against everybody.
That's a thing.
That is a thing.
What am I supposed to do here?
I'm not going to get insured now.
My wife's pregnant right now.
And if I do, it's going to be a terrible rate.
It's going to be incredibly bad.
This is my fault.
I should have looked ahead.
Of course.
Just give life.
I didn't know this was going to be my thing.
If you're vested, yeah, lifetime.
That'd be nice, wouldn't it?
Vested players get lifetime insurance.
Lifetime health care.
Like, I'm okay, okay?
Going to be okay.
What, a back date?
What's that?
You think it would back date?
Like, say they instituted it next year.
Would we be part of that? I assume we think it would backdate? Like, say they instituted it next year. Would we
be part of that? I assume we'd get fucked, huh?
Probably, right? Everybody, we,
that's good. Okay, future players would be good, then.
We at least were standing for something,
you know, because if you don't stand for something...
Fucking fall for anything. That's right, Ty.
Ty, you're doing great right now. Yeah, thanks, man. I appreciate it.
How do you feel about the Guardian Caps over there in Green Bay?
Is that going to make your team tougher that you need, or
is it tough not even a conversation?
Because we're talking about the futures of people's lives.
I don't know.
I mean, I don't, you know, everyone loves him.
I don't have any issues with him.
But, you know, when your head coach is more concerned with manicured eyebrows
and a pencil-thin beard, you know,
I don't know how much Guardian caps are going to do to toughen up the team.
But, you know, I mean.
He does get the crowd pumped, though.
Yeah, he does.
Which I hate more than just about anything.
Why?
Is he have any questions around him?
No, because he's had so many winning seasons.
It's like Aaron had so many winning seasons with LeFleur, obviously.
Yeah.
And LeFleur, greatest coach of all time.
Yeah.
Aaron has a bad year.
Oh, this guy sucks.
Get him out of here.
Right.
The coach, not similar conversation.
Nope.
He's still a super genius, right?
Yeah, I don't know if he. No, we're not genius right yeah i don't know if not no
we're not taking sides i don't know people look at that way because if he has one more rough year
i think people are definitely questioning the floor do you think so yeah as a whole like packers
fans are you talking about media both i mean packers fans are like legit like the nicest people
on the planet i've said a million are they i don't know i've said a lot of tweets they they
they have a high standard though very high very high standard, just like Ty does.
They expect to be competing for the Super Bowl every single year.
I just don't think he's a head coach.
I think he's a good play caller, but I don't know if you can look at him
and be like, this guy's a head coach.
I mean, it's his first time doing it.
The defense and special teams – I mean, special teams is better this year,
but the defense sucked.
They didn't make any changes, and they had all that talent,
and then they still retained the guy after the year.
The special teams sucked all last year, and you wait until after the season.
So, I don't know.
Yeah, I mean, Packers fans, I feel like at least maybe like if you, like,
AJ, like when you go to places, I think Packers fans are nice in general.
But I think they are on Twitter a lot louder and a lot more miserable
and kind of just over everything.
Ty, I believe your headset mic might work as well if you want to give that a go.
Here we go.
Excited for this.
Zito just told me.
Oh, yeah.
It does.
Oh, yeah.
You're wet.
Testing one, two, testing one.
Hey-oh!
Clone.
Clone.
Where's he at?
I don't know.
That's interesting.
Where is he?
I see Peacock's down there in that corner.
Sirius XM right here has a golf simulator, and people are just banging drivers, it sounds like.
Oh, is that what that was?
Yeah, sounds like it.
Taking balls, doing everything.
It's not a bomb.
Every car is searched.
Every human is searched multiple times before you get in here.
But that is the back of a golf simulator right there.
Shout out to PXG.
Are some of the golfers going to come over?
I mean, the tournament first competitive round is Thursday with the golfers going to come over? I mean, tournament first competitive
round is Thursday with the old, what's it called?
I think there's still Waste Management.
But any of those guys coming over here,
they got all kinds of sponsors. They sell everything.
We don't have any golfers coming here. Not even
pro golfer? Pro golfers?
Pro golfers, I don't know if, does anybody
have a PlayStation?
I don't know if anybody brought, did anybody
bring their PlayStation in here? No, I don't think so. Pro golfer's not out here then. And if you, I don't know, I don't know if anybody brought... Did anybody bring their PlayStation in here?
No, I don't think so.
Prog Offer's not out here, then.
Prog Offer's not out here.
And if you...
I don't know.
I don't even know how it...
Hold on.
There's somebody.
Uh-oh.
Here we go.
See Tiger Woods?
Hold the phone.
Oh, isn't that Bleacher Report?
They got a nice little set.
Where?
Right there? Straight ahead. Yeah, but Nickelodeon's next to it. That would be sweet. You isn't that Bleacher Report? They got a nice little set. Where, right there?
Straight ahead.
Yeah, but Nickelodeon's next to it.
That would be sweet.
You're saying that's a PlayStation?
No.
I don't see a PlayStation.
Oh, that's just a set.
Is that Bleacher Report?
It looks like a nice set.
That's where Vaughn Miller's going to be gaming this weekend.
Oh.
Hey, no pressure, pal.
This guy needs the best of tech because he is going to be slicing and dicing on
his Vaughn Twitch
account. Buffalo Beals.
I can't wait to see Vaughn in person.
What a fucking good human he was this year.
So there's where the entrance exit
is to Meteor Row. Obviously
DraftKings has the spot in which Fandle
was at last year. That's where we were sitting last
year. It seems like they put a little
what they do. They got the they put a little what they do. They got the
they put a little TVs up there.
LCD TVs. They got the whole entire
LED. That's nice. We had that thing
wide open last year yelling into
everybody's faces. They got like the Jumbotron
on top. Certainly something. Not a
bad play there. The Raiders, this Raiders group
right here is, I don't want to say
oh, we got some waves coming from this
side. Good to see people.
This thing's going to be tough, though, if they're just
parked right there. We're not going to be able to see anything behind
them. But they have a good backdrop. Proud
of them. And then over here, there's Peacock
in that back corner. Zoom in.
Peacock is up there. So who will be on
Peacock? I think that's pro football talk.
These people are holding up tickets.
I've got two
tickets to paradise.
Why don't you pack your bags and leave it there?
It's not any money.
And this thing is touchy.
That is pro football talk back there, though.
Oh, Simsy over there?
I don't know.
Simsy's going to be figuring it out.
Maria Taylor?
Is Maria Taylor back there with NBC, right?
Oh, yeah. Where's Gabe Morenci? He's everywhere Simsy's going to be figuring it out. Is Maria Taylor back there with NBC, right? Oh, yeah.
Where's Gabe Morenci?
He's everywhere.
Wherever he wants to be.
Does he have that jacket on, Sweet?
That Sweet Evel Knievel-looking jacket?
He's got this year's version.
Westwood One right there with Fox Sports Radio,
which I do believe a company that is neither of those two rent that name.
Really?
What do you mean?
No way.
I think, right?
Westwood One?
Didn't we go through this?
No.
Fox Sports Radio.
I think Fox Sports Radio is actually another company that rents the name.
Huh.
No, I think it's.
That's interesting.
We don't.
Cumulus Media.
I don't understand that.
Who knows what any of the whole.
We were in there for like one year each.
Yeah.
I didn't understand the world either.
Yeah.
So we're selling ad reads for $3.55.
$60 a pop.
What is the purpose?
Why would we read those?
Well, that's why.
I would have definitely advertised. I would have found something
to advertise if I knew it was only that much money.
Bingo. Yeah, that's what I was saying.
We shouldn't be just...
Why are we talking about fucking Rainier Zetlow
again? Okay.
Who's that? He was the Wiper Blades. Yeah, Michelin Ultra Wiper Blades. We shouldn't be just like, what are we? Why are we talking about fucking Rainier Zietlow again? Okay. Wow.
Who's that?
He was the Wiper Blades.
He drove.
Yeah, Michelin Ultra Wiper Blades.
From Alaska all the way down to Argentina.
We have some breaking news from Super Bowl 57, Super Bowl Media Week.
Tom Brady tells Colin Cowherd that he will start on Fox in the fall of 2024.
The $375 million deal over 10 years, which has obviously been talked about since immediately hearing about it.
We believe it was slipped in a quarterly earnings call by one of the kids that we've seen in Secession. We would assume it is the one that is just a loose cannon who likes wire walking on razor's edges or something.
Bingo.
Bingo.
Whatever it is.
Kendall in the family of Secession leaked it.
You think things are going bad?
We got fucking Tom Brady.
Just signed Tom Brady.
You got Tom Brady.
What's that?
Paying him $375 million.
Biggest hit of all time.
Ten years. We got him for the next decade.
Tom Brady, greatest of all time. You ever heard of him? We got him.
And then everybody's like, is that breaking?
Boom. Tom Brady
has signed for $375
million to call Fox.
That is how we were introduced to the news
of Tom Brady becoming a Fox
sports commentator. So now
they have lame duck and Greg Olson
for this season because Tom is going to
play another year with Tampa. Remember
he did get and sacrifice
his family to play this past
year because he retired for
25 days?
I forget what it was. 31 days?
There's an actual day.
There was, yeah.
Somewhere between 25 and 45 days.
Whatever. He retired.
He came back, lost his family.
How many years is he going to play?
He obviously on a beach in Miami in which you can buy the sand.
It's up over like $90,000 or something.
That's it?
Really?
Humans, we have problems in our society.
Sure, we do.
We don't have time to address them all.
No, there are a lot.
But somebody paying $100,000 for a moonshine thing of sand from a beach.
Come on.
With a picture of where Tom was standing.
Is alarming for all of us.
Yeah.
Gotta be better.
Well, it's hell of a prop.
Because, I mean.
But it's alarming for all of us.
We need to think about society, where we are, where we're headed, how we're heading there,
who we're heading there with.
That's right.
And let's look out for our friends that are maybe bidding on that.
There's 7 billion moonshine bottles of sand that you can go get from that particular area
of the beach.
Absolutely.
Tell a friend that.
I hate that I even had to explain that, but it's happening in the world that we're in.
It is.
Nonetheless, some people said maybe Tom was getting a divorce before he would opt in to the $375 million deal with Fox
because that deal is worth more than all of his playing contracts combined.
Whatever the case, he has told Colin Cowherd on Fox
that he'll be joining in the fall of 2024.
So Greg Olson's got another season, it appears, as the Fox lead.
And he has the Super Bowl.
Congrats to Greg Olson. And congrats to Tom for maybe taking a tractor another round here.
More modeling on beds, more touring the world, maybe doing things with his kids a little
bit for a year for a football season.
Maybe this is just Tom getting a chance to experience life as a human before he commits
his entire being for another 10 years to the NFL because he knows how he is and knows what his preparation will look like when he inevitably
has to call a game and be smarter than everybody. I don't mind that move, and I appreciate that news
coming out, and I think we're all happy that we get to hear Greg Olson for another season
in a primetime spot, A.J. Hall. But it also buys Fox some time to figure out what they're going to
do. They know how Greg Olson and Burkhardt have been awesome. People love them. And what's Tom going to do?
You think Tom travels around and does little
practice things behind the scenes?
They're going to do something to try to get him feeling
comfortable going into the 2024 season.
I'm nervous, Tom. I just love bopping his
baloney in the morning and hanging out
on yachts with hotties. He can still do that
and call games on Sundays.
He's going to get a year of that. And then guess what?
Next year, what's going to happen? You know what? I'm going to join Fox in see his kids. That's true. And he's going to get a year of that. And then guess what? We're a regular. Next year, what's going to happen?
You know what?
I'm going to join Fox in 2025.
I'm liking my life right now.
Stay bop.
Oh, this is the diet starts tomorrow.
I'm going to bop around.
He's just going to keep doing that.
This is the diet starts tomorrow.
I think it's possible.
And it's good for us.
The first time he tried real life, it lasted however many days it lasted.
Tom, take out the trash.
The fuck up.
Now you think he's going to experience real life.
Exactly.
Now he's got an opportunity to take more mirror selfies looking incredibly jocked.
Just filmed a banger.
Not a coincidence.
80 for Brady is going to win an Oscar.
People love it.
Yes.
It's unbelievable.
It's in theaters?
It is.
Of course it's in theaters.
Can you tell me about it?
Someone tell me what happens.
It is certified fresh right now on Rotten Tomatoes.
They said it is the most fun you will have at the movie theater in 2020.
Jane Fonda puts on a performance that is unforgiving.
Shell shocking.
Really only rivaled by Sally Field, who puts on an unbelievable show.
Pass the Avatar at the box office.
Think about that.
Are we living in the Matrix?
Just want to let you know, that last part, not real.
It did not pass.
But it did knock it off.
It was the number one movie of the week.
Avatar is not the number one movie of the week.
Wait, did it have a big theatrical release already?
Yeah.
It had a premiere.
This past weekend.
I need to pay attention more.
Hitty for Brady.
I'll say.
Avatar.
Boom.
Puss in Boots.
Look at that.
Genuinely sweet and funny.
Feel good.
That's Scott Menzel, bro.
There's no way it beat out Black Adam and Dwayne Johnson.
No offense. No. Listen, no reason to go there right now. He's killing itzel, bro. There's no way it beat out Black Adam and Dwayne Johnson. No offense.
Now, listen, no reason to go there right now.
He's killing it.
He was at the Oscars.
He said hi to Adele.
He met Adele.
Not just hi.
They met each other for the first time.
What a pop.
Adele's number one fan.
Or Rock's number one fan is Adele.
I mean, you're back.
What a pop.
Yeah, absolutely.
Everyone really cheered loud for him, for sure.
Can you please go back to that, the genuinely sweet and funny feel-good?
This Scott Menzel thing, to me, as somebody that doesn't pay attention to the entertainment world as much,
is similar to when Pro Football Focus put a tweet out and said,
Tom Brady needs to retire.
And it was like, PFF Ben.
It was like, who the fuck is PFF Ben?
Who is Scott Menzel?
Does this guy matter?
Yeah, Scott Menzel.
He's the Cisco and Ebert's kid?
Yeah, he's the new Cisco and Ebert.
You want to talk about the $90,000 for the sand on the beach.
Those rhinestone Brady jerseys, I just bought one last night, $32,000.
You're doing pretty good, Tony.
You paid that, right, Tony? You're doing pretty good, Tony. You paid that, right, Tony?
You're doing pretty good, Tony.
Jeez Louise.
Hey, 80 for Brady.
Actual good movie, huh?
Dude.
Banger.
Jane Fonda.
I couldn't sleep last night.
He hasn't seen it.
Well, of course not, but he's read a review or two.
He's seen a report on the internet.
Come on, man.
This is misinformation you're giving to people out there.
We got a screener.
We got a screener.
We know it's great.
We did not get a screener, actually, to that movie.
They're talking about this being kind of like
the Goodwill hunting of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
All right, hold the movie phone.
Hold the movie phone.
Weekend box office.
Boom.
Knock at the cabin, $14.2 million.
That's one of those movies that wins an award
and we've never heard of.
$80 for Brady.
$12.5 dollars spent on that crew
avatar the way of water made another 10.8 million dollars it's up over how many billion who knows
puss in boots the last wish now that's a fucking heater yeah 150 and then bts yet to come in cinema
hey knock at the cabin is uh you made a quick uh video that's with don batista
you posted something online about it was a good video oh's with Don Batista. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You posted something online about it.
It was a good video.
Oh, yeah, right at the end of a kicking video.
Don Batista's in it.
Oh, yeah, that's a scary.
There was a fucking action.
That was a good video you posted.
They had to kill one of their family members.
It's always good.
Oh, is that what happens?
Yeah, it's like, well, you kill one of your family members,
stop to the end of the world.
Hey, a lot of, like, figure stuff out shows happening right now.
Uh-huh.
Like, while you watch it. Oh, yeah, yeah. Like, figure stuff out. Like right now. Uh-huh. Like, while you watch it.
Oh, yeah.
Like, figure stuff out.
Like, what's that called?
Detectant?
Yeah.
I started that show last night.
Actually, I shouldn't have because I was hard to fall asleep.
Poker Face?
No, the whatever.
The last of us.
The last of us.
The one you told me to.
I downloaded three episodes.
I'm not all the way through the first one.
I was dozing in and out, but, man, it looks pretty good.
Hey, you should try Poker Face.
Poker Face?
I've never even heard of that.
It's good.
It's on Peacock.
It's on that one right over there.
Can I download it?
Yes, for sure.
I made the mistake of watching the first episode of Last of Us while on an airplane, and all
I could think was-
We're going down.
There's patient zero in the plane somewhere.
Oh, sure.
I always, anytime a negative thought comes into my mind when I'm on a plane, it's, oh,
well, this is where I die.
We're going down.
I start typing things up in my notes section that hopefully people will see after I die.
I got one saved.
Hey, I appreciate you all.
Yeah, me too.
I probably wrote 30 of them over the last year and a half or so.
Yeah, just when I thought a plane was going to hit some chop.
Dude, I've been traveling a lot.
You are a ton of flyers, my friend.
I was looking back on it, and obviously everybody has a tough job.
But I was out in Vegas again.
This is the second time I'm in Vegas.
Vegas is a haul. It's way out there.
We're in Montana, Oregon.
The Rose Bowl's in California.
We're out here for this, for Arizona.
I mean, it's been a fucking haul this year. You were in Texas a lot.
So far, Texas. San Antonio, so far.
I had no idea.
You need more Midwest games for the Big Ten.
I mean, for the, you know.
For game day?
For game day.
Yeah, but I think that's not going to happen, though.
Because Big New Kickoff goes to all those games.
I'm honestly intrigued by that because they're in the middle of a turnover stage right now
for that college football rights with everything being up for grabs for a lot of money.
Yeah.
Peacock's in the game.
They got Big Ten for a shit ton of money.
Yeah.
And they're going to be airing a bunch of games in this whole thing.
But college football became the new real estate in football if you weren't able to get into
the sweepstakes of the NFL, which was so grossly expensive.
And everybody's looking for content.
And sports are the only thing that rate ever anymore.
So now these new modern streaming services are trying to get the old school rating way,
which is live sports, onto their platform when only a couple of people have had it.
And college football reaped the benefit of that.
Big.
Multi-billion dollar deals for conferences that we were like.
Like, I think the American conference signed one that was like a few hundred million dollars.
Yep.
It's unbelievable.
And congratulations to all of them.
But I think ESPN does not have a lot of the Big Ten games.
No.
But that is still in flux.
I think it's still in flux, though.
Yeah, CBS and Fox.
CBS paid a shitload of money because, you know,
they got the theme song for the old SEC on CBS.
They started using that for Big Ten commercials.
But, yeah, I think Big Ten has virtually no Big Ten.
I mean, ESPN has virtually no Big Ten games,
at least next year for the next few years.
So what I'm saying is I think there's going to be a lot of flights.
A lot of SEC. A lot of SEC.
A lot of SEC down there.
It's a full-on SEC.
Yeah.
Which is good.
And college football fans probably hate to hear this,
especially Ohio State fans and Michigan fans and northern teams that have a.
What's that?
Hmm.
And.
Hmm? What you got?
And the You gonna say it or you want me to say it?
Do you want to say it?
We're talking about
I'll say it
Good
Sanduskies
Penn State
Oh
Yeah, that's what I thought
Is that what you were saying?
Well, I didn't know
Michigan State
That's why we don't say them, AQ
Well
Uncle Waxie
No, but Penn State's Hey, filled up a Rose Bowl this year, huh?
Penn State people?
They did well.
Those Colts travel.
They travel.
So, okay, so the Colts of the North, I think,
get a little bit offended whenever the conversation happens
because not every school in the SEC has a Colt, right?
The bottom of the SEC is not good.
Vanderbilt.
They're not good.
They don't fill up their stadiums, and they are just
boat raced every single week. No offense.
They might be able to turn around. Hey.
Good luck. You can turn around. Good luck. You can do that.
So, like, a lot of the northern teams, I think,
get pissed off, like, oh, fuck.
Kentucky, okay. Yeah, that's
oh, yeah, get mad at us about Illinois
and then fucking go ahead and trot Vanderbilt
out onto the thing and talk shitter, but
those fans down there, dude, it is fourth, fifth generation.
I guess that's Ohio State fans there, right?
Yeah.
Ohio State's an SEC school of the north, I think.
I mean, yeah.
Like Michigan.
Comparable.
SEC school of the north.
I think that is just as somebody that's new to the college football world,
and I know Big Ten people are going to take that so incredibly disrespectful,
but, like, that was just my experience this year.
We went to Tennessee twice, obviously.
We went down to Georgia.
Clemson.
We go over to Clemson and the ACC.
What are they going to look like next year?
Are they going to be back with Cade Klubnick being their quarterback?
It all revolves around if you have a team or not.
But, like, some of those schools are always going to exist.
So whenever they were trying to pick and choose which network they wanted,
which league you wanted to buy, that would have been a tough decision.
Because, like, the Big Ten's got, what, USC coming in?
Yeah, they got, what, USC's coming in, which is big.
USC, UCLA.
But you've got to predict who is going to be a powerhouse.
Like, let's say you go all in and you're saying, hey, we've got, hopefully, Ohio State.
And if you're a Big Ten, you bid on some Big Ten games.
What if Ohio State and Michigan kind of have some bumps in the road early in the season?
We're just assuming they won't, right?
Yeah, you assume they won't, but what if they are?
It doesn't matter.
You're kind of all, you're sold.
If you have two to three years, too, imagine you have two bad years.
That changes everything.
They switch coaches.
Like one of those schools switched coaches.
They got a whole rebuild situation.
The NIL, we have no idea what teams are going to go.
And we assume Ohio State will never have to deal with that.
No.
But this is something that is a reality that could happen and take place.
And what does the NCAA even look like in five years from now?
But anyways, yeah, a lot of traveling this year.
Lucky to do it.
Thankful to do it.
And I appreciate you boys for an incredible season.
You guys have fucking killed it this year, okay?
You and your cowboy hat normally.
Thank you, boss.
I mean, not today, obviously.
You got to showcase that hair for fucking Ray O'Rourke.
Oh, yeah.
All the media people are here, and they're just staring at this stage,
and they're going, that show right up there is because of that guy and that hair.
What?
You know what they're saying, AJ?
Absolutely.
Diggs.
I mean, everything Diggs does is pretty impressive.
You dig everything Diggs does?
I do.
I don't like what he does.
Still don't even know his real name, like most of the people here.
Can you please give us an update on where the money is?
Is it still at 76% as it was a year ago?
That seems a lot.
That's so much money on against.
Are they trying to flip it?
Are we trying to get it?
Well, we talked about this PA legal gambling.
Right.
And then, obviously, Kansas City doesn't have it.
Oh.
So maybe that's a huge part of it, right?
Just as a matter of fact, statement of fact, 18 states have FanDuel.
Good to know.
So we were right when we said 17 to 22. And then we
went 18.
So 18 is the bottom number. There's
probably in our head, if I had to think about
how our minds operate,
there's probably a few states that have agreed to it and are coming
on at some point. Massachusetts in March.
Boom, that we know. So we're just adding
those states in because although they aren't in the game yet, they're in the on-deck circle. Massachusetts in March. Boom, that we know. So we're just adding those states in because although they aren't
in the game yet,
they're in the on-deck circle. That's right.
So much money out there with only 18 states
live right now. Man, there's so
much money to be had. It's a good time to own
a sports media
thing. For sure. Very much so.
Yeah.
And that stinks for a lot of people.
Yes, it does. That's a bummer and this week becomes
one of those conversations that just happens on a regular basis yeah we're going to chat with every
human we talked about uh this year probably this week it's ready it's gonna be sweet ty have you
thought about that at all coming in here was there any thoughts like no anybody that you
me neither nope not until we walked in here and i saw the first person i was like oh yeah here we go this is a full this is a thing we're going to see everybody that we
have potentially encountered or seen on the internet from sports media this particular season
that's one of the gems of radio row absolutely but i think part of it too is like you know i mean
if anyone like we're not on espn you know, the show is big, and you kind of do forget, like,
oh, a lot of people actually do watch this.
Pro Bowl, and this is, I don't want to toot our horns too much
because this is already enough self-sucking.
But get it out of the way on a Monday.
That's right.
Sure.
Of course.
A lot of dudes at the Pro Bowl came up and said they watch
or their parents watch or their friends watch.
Yeah, it was wild. It was crazy.
Yeah, it was very... My dad wanted
me to tell you to say thank you for what you said
about me whenever blah, blah, blah
was happening. Had a couple guys at the Pro Bowl
come up and say, hey, thanks for saying
what you said or whatever. And I
didn't even remember what it was.
I was like, oh, cool. Yeah, no problem, man.
He was like, yeah, you guys said and laid out basically the angle that we took to cover whatever took place.
He was like, we appreciate that a lot.
Or I appreciate my family and I appreciate that a lot or whatever.
It was like, that's pretty cool.
That's a cool thing.
But then I immediately think on the other side.
There's all those types of situations that we all add into, not just you.
No, right.
Well, and that's also, like, Tony would know if he watched the show.
That's coming from a place of love.
That's coming from a place.
Well, not whenever the guy sitting directly next to you goes,
so, Tony, it's like, hate this guy, and then you hate him a little bit more,
and then now it's like, yeah, this is what this guy is.
You're going to hate him, but you like him.
Because it was like you said some,
when we were talking about how much we like Tony.
Right.
And reminding Tony if he sees the clip, which is possible.
Like, no, Tony, you got to, hey.
There were some good times.
Shoot from the hip, dude.
Yeah.
Yeah, you got to do what you got to do.
We're not judging.
You do your own thing.
We've always been fair.
$180 million.
And then Conor's just like, yeah,
the reason why we're talking good about you right now, though,
is because you suck so bad.
He hates your fucking guts.
And we have those moments throughout the year every once in a while.
That's just the most recent edition of that particular thing.
Absolutely.
But I also think, like, you know, we're a bunch of clowns.
Exactly.
If people take stuff really seriously and they think everything we're saying is like, you know, I mean, what can you do about that?
Because it isn't.
It's not like, I mean, I feel like a lot of these people would be a lot more offended
if you're watching ESPN or something like that,
and then someone on there is taking a pot shot at you.
It's like, well, Jesus, that's what you're supposed to be professional.
You're supposed to, you know, it's like, that really isn't our gig, you know?
Baby.
Not our bag, baby.
Let's take a look at how.
So who comes from Nickelodeon to work there?
Lex Lumpkin. If they didn't hit him over the head with a paddle and kill him.
Where did Lex Lumpkin go?
Yeah, we haven't seen him on TV.
We missed Lex Lumpkin for sure.
Place is filling up. People are filing in,
setting up there. Like this convo
right here that's taking place.
So much better than whatever we got going on.
That's old Cuz. We know Cuz.
Yeah, God.
We know old Bud. We know Cuz. Yeah, God, what is?
We know old Bud.
Right?
We know that guy.
Yep.
Right?
Yeah.
He does a lot of hits on TV.
This guy?
What's his name?
What's his name?
He looks good on a Raiders beat right now.
Vic?
I don't know if that's Vic or not.
Vic.
I guess.
Taffer?
Yeah, the one we called for around the field of beat. John Taffer? Garucci? The one we called for Feel the Beat.
John Taffer?
Around the Horn?
Oh, Vic Taffer.
I was going to say Around the World.
You know what?
Since it is Super Bowl week, let's look back on some of the things we did this year that we hadn't done in years past.
Hell yeah.
Feel the Beat was good.
Yeah, it was great.
We keep Feel the Beat.
Yeah, I think so. Even though you won't call it Around the Horn.
That's Tony Rollins' show.
No, no, no.
I said Around the World.
Tony Raleigh on the brain.
Makes sense. I said Around the World. Oh, yeah, because it is kind of Around the World. Yeah, I think so. Even though you won't call it around the horn. That's Tony Rollins' show. No, no, no. I said around the reality on the brain. Makes sense.
I said around the world.
Oh, yeah, because it is kind of around the world.
Basketball game.
My brain, you know.
I didn't have a guardian cap.
We keep Feel the Beat for next year, I think, right?
Let's do a vote.
Absolutely.
Everybody in favor say aye.
Aye.
Aye.
Okay.
Thought AQ was going to be in there.
I was going to say if that was a day.
Keep in the trenches.
Well, that's what I was about to get to next.
I think the best thing to talk about currently is our relationship with NFL Films, I think, was good.
For sure.
I think it ended up working out well.
Now, granted, we didn't get the weekly produce piece that will probably put our heads together again
and try to figure out how we go about doing that.
I think it would have been impossible to accomplish with the way we operate
and with the way they would normally operate in that particular setup.
We don't have enough humans or people that we want to be around
to kind of navigate that relationship in an efficient fashion
that they can go through all of the footage that they had to go through
and then cut a piece and then us okay it and then them change it
and then how it's getting released on a week-to-week basis.
So it was a trial and error on that particular case.
But getting plays, getting a chance to learn the game,
not only with Thursday night's Coach P's Keys, Darius J. Butler
with everything DB, which turned into just a defensive back,
defensive meeting room.
Yeah, sweet.
Every single play or every single week was fantastic.
And then a real highlight, honestly, of this season was getting a chance to see the big
fucks do their thing up front.
Absolutely.
And why the teams that are currently in the Super Bowl.
Now, I don't think we saw the Chiefs much, but we did talk about Andy Reid having a lot
of creative gadgets.
I think we became a much more educated football consumer this year because of In the Trenches with A.Q. Shipley.
A.Q., you did a fantastic job.
Whenever you look back on the season, what are your thoughts on it, pal?
I loved it.
I had a blast.
I appreciate you guys giving me that opportunity.
It was an awesome, awesome, awesome deal for me to kind of just dive
into everybody's offense.
You know, I kind of felt like I was pigeonholed most of my career being in one particular offense.
Oh, they tried to box you in.
That's right.
Unbelievable.
It was cool to see San Fran.
It was cool to see LAC.
A lot of the creativity going on around the league.
It was really cool for me.
Yeah, and I feel like you were showcasing things
that were actually part of conversation,
like the Niners, for instance.
For sure.
Their run game and how good it was.
But need to be able to attempt the forward pass
for it to work.
So we saw some flaws.
This Eagles team, though, AJ, was showcased on into trenches basically all season long.
There's no wonder they're in a Super Bowl, huh, AJ? That's right.
There is no wonder.
You build it from the front O-line and D-line.
But, AQ, why do people not, even guys that play in the league,
I even heard old Dane Orszalowski say, like, he doesn't really understand protection,
not nearly as much as you.
What makes understanding protection? It's just because you have so many guys try to have to be on the
same page and there's a million different things that could happen but I don't like I've learned
a ton from watching you do that yeah I mean hopefully we get to dive into protections a
little bit more but I think the biggest thing with protections a lot of the west coast have
everything built in they're not changing protections they're not flipping things
a lot of the man schemes they're actually responsible for picking everything up.
Like, they have to see everything.
They're coming will-free safety.
We've got to flip to protection.
We've got to get to that.
You know what I mean?
Oh, a little swill.
A little swill.
There it is.
Talking about swill.
There it is, a little Sam Will.
Yeah, no big deal, especially I'm rolling swill all day,
all day if I'm trying to transition from a three or four to a four.
It's the whole thing.
We just assume you're right, too, which is cool.
And I think all season you haven't been checked by anybody.
So congratulations on that.
Yeah, absolutely.
And I think that's also why, I mean, a lot of people at least are like,
why I love the Eagles so much.
It's because we were talking, you know, like, AQ's, you know,
head over heels about them.
And you're kind of thinking, like, well,
Kansas City's run defense isn't great.
We've seen thousands of Eagles plays so far this year on In the Trenches. Like, what if they just run the ball down Kansas City's run defense isn't great. We've seen thousands of Eagles plays so far this year on In the Trenches.
Like, what if they just run the ball down Kansas City's throat
and you keep the ball out of Mahomes' hands?
And Nick Sirianni would love to do that on a grand stage, wouldn't he?
Yeah, well, you know, once again, people forget,
and he refired me when he got to Kansas City.
Oh, that's cute.
So let's just say I got a little something for his fat ass.
I'm not talking about a Philly cheesesteak from Geno's or Pat's or Dallas Andros.
I'm talking about my fist down his big fat suckle after we win the game.
Go birds.
Go birds.
Go birds.
Go birds.
Fly, Eagles, fly.
Joining us now is from NBC Sports Boston,
a man who I saw a lot of over the last week or so,
mostly whenever he was younger and much fatter, a man who is in incredible shape and ready to deliver the goods,
Mr. Tom E. Curry.
Yeah, Tommy!
How are you, pal?
How are you kids doing?
What an array of handsome meat up there on that stage with the pale white guys.
Yeah, you're damn right.
And you can't even look at us right now because you've got to stare at a camera
that is literally just right offside of the stage.
Yeah, but it's okay.
We appreciate you stopping by, and we're happy that you have a microphone.
Obviously, the story of the New England Patriots season was Bill Belichick was wrong.
They lose fastball.
Tom Brady's retired, so obviously Bill Belichick has lasted longer than Tom Brady.
So that's good news for Patriots fans to talk about.
But Mac Jones had questions on the offense on Wednesday.
Joe Judge says, we'll cross that bridge when we get there, pal.
We'd get to that bridge in the middle of the game,
and Mac Jones would be like throwing a fit.
But that's because he didn't have the answers to the test,
and he was looking for the answers to the test.
Did Bill Belichick ruin us, and is it fixable, Tom?
What the fuck?
Conor's literally jumped off his NFL fandom cliff.
There were times during the year where my phone would ring in the middle of the night.
It just said Boston Connor.
And he's in a bad spot.
Honey, just don't worry.
He's in a bad spot.
He wasn't the only one, I don't think.
I know.
I think O'Brien comes in and really has an absolutely immediate effect.
You're going from a team like a glass of water is refreshing when you're thirsty.
The Patriots team in offense has been in the desert,
and they're going to get handed this glass of water of competency.
And Bill O'Brien is going to have a massive impact on the entire team.
You're saying they need some chapstick, huh, the year it was?
Yeah.
It was tough to watch.
It looked like the edge of a margarita glass.
So did Bill Belichick...
Hey, a lot of those out here are Superboy, huh, Tom?
Yeah, it was.
Tom, I saw you from back in the day,
and I don't like to ever just chat about anybody's glow-up
and everything like that.
I can't hear anything.
You look remarkable compared to what you used to look like.
I don't understand why you came up with Fat Tom.
You had those big khakis on.
You had those big khakis on.
They had that big oversized polo on.
You're holding a microphone like this.
Tom was talking.
I saw it.
You saw it.
I saw it.
That was just masking it.
That was just masking everything underneath.
Just 188 pounds of twisted steel and sex appeal.
Woo!
Malibu, Tom.
Hey, Tom, we love you, buddy.
All right.
Great stuff.
Really appreciate it.
Have a great week, guys.
And thanks for always giving me the chance to come on and be with you guys.
Hey, Tom, you can't hear us, but he's the man.
He's the best.
Tom is the man.
We have one of the best in the biz.
He is a guy that honestly we love every time he comes on.
He's maybe the most negative Patriots person that comes on.
Accurate, too.
All right, see you, Tom.
Hey, he's finger-fucking the microphone.
That's not true.
All right.
He still hurts.
That's right, Tom.
Tommy Kerr.
Yeah, Tommy.
Yay.
Hey, yeah, come on.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, this is COVID.
Get up here, Tom.
Great kicks, Tommy.
Oh.
Boom, Tom.
There we go.
Whoa, whoa.
Oh.
Oh.
Leg kick.
Yeah. Leg drive. Athlete. That was nice. Great to see you, pal. There we go. Oh, whoa. Oh! See that leg kick? Yeah, dude.
Leg drive.
Athlete.
That was nice.
Great to see you, pal.
That was nice.
What did he say?
I don't know.
He's got no sleep either.
Does he have a good relationship with Bill O'Brien?
I called the pro ball yesterday, bro.
I called the pro ball yesterday.
You love Bill?
You and Bill O'Brien tight?
I know.
I wouldn't go as far as to say tight, but I think he's going to have a massive impact.
Okay.
I love that.
Hell yeah.
There you go.
Patriot in the Super Bowl again.
Tell Bo I said hi.
Hey, that a baby Connor.
Look at you, huh?
He's normally super negative all the time.
Yeah, it's unbelievable.
It's huge that he's saying that.
But again, we'll come around here in August and it'll be nine and eight not doing anything.
Calvary's not coming over that hill, Connor.
Exactly.
I mean, Tom.
Oh, you're saying that's his song?
That's Tom right now.
Let's check back in in August, okay?
Oh, you're saying he's coming out when the season gets close.
He starts seeing with Tom, he can only be the one seeing.
And he's like, oh, no, we get another year of fucking.
Exactly.
He's the fucking rat from Punxsutawney, Phil?
Essentially, yeah.
He's the groundhog.
Except he's accurate.
He has been, hasn't he?
Yeah, I believe in his preseason article, he had the Patriots going 8-9.
Oh.
Patriots went 8-9.
And did he get killed for it, I assume?
Some people.
But, again, a lot of people just have been off the Belichick train.
All right.
Well, I decided to do that whenever it came to gambling and making picks.
I decided it was right to get off the Belichick train.
A lot later than probably should have, AJ.
I think we were giving Bill Belichick credit
long into this season.
Oh, yeah.
Far too long into the season
whenever we were making picks.
Bill Belichick will get it right.
Bill Belichick will get it right.
And I assume we'll do the same thing next year
because that's just what it is with the NFL.
Bill Belichick's good at coaching football.
But they did fall off,
and it seemed like a pretty quick fall off
from,
oh, this team can maybe win games because they're smarter than everybody,
to, oh, they're making worse mistakes than, like, the Lions are.
Yeah.
What are they?
Well, and then you hear about what was happening behind the scenes,
how they were barely even getting lined up.
I think plays are coming in late.
We're going to do the same thing with Bill O'Brien next year, though.
Think about it.
Well, last year that was a different thing.
Now Bill O'Brien comes in.
Exactly.
He's run the show.
Everyone's on the same page.
They look great in camp.
And then, like Con Man says, we might have to repeat.
You think that was a heat check from Bill Belichick?
He says, boys, boys, let's just see if we can.
Okay?
Yeah.
We'll all do things that we're not specialists in at this age just to see if we can beat
everybody else while playing left-handed.
Okay, Joe Judge, I know you're one of the best special teams coaches of all time.
You became a head coach because of how good you were as a special teams coach.
Yeah.
You're not putting your hands on special teams one bit.
Don't need it.
We're actually going to have you with the quarterbacks.
And let's see, what are they going to say if you're able to fucking do it from over there?
Matt Patricia, one of the greatest defense coordinator calls in the history of like any football, organized football.
Yep.
Not even think about it, pal.
You're calling the off.
You're trying to beat.
You know the defense better than anybody.
Inside and out.
What do you think they say about you?
Oh, that dumb dipshit that left New England and ruined the Detroit Lions more than they've ever.
They won't be able to say that when you're an offensive history legendary coach and a defensive history legendary coach.
We'll fucking play left-handed this year and beat all these fucking dumbasses
around the NFL.
Did he do that because he saw you coaching in Tampa Bay,
and he said, they got AQ simply coaching down there in Tampa Bay.
We can do this thing left-handed.
Is that what happened, do you think, AQ, or have we talked about that yet?
No, we haven't, but I did see they made a great offensive line coach hire today.
Who?
Adrian Clem.
From college.
Oregon.
Clem Dogg.
Formerly Pittsburgh Steelers.
Yeah.
Former player, New England Patriots.
Clem Dogg.
Offensive line coach?
Yeah.
Run game coordinator or just they don't do that in New England?
They didn't say run game coordinator, but they definitely hired him as their own line coach.
Two behind Forrester.
Forrester won.
He's two.
I don't know.
I think he's got a ways to go to kind of work there.
But he is a former player, good coach.
Hey, Jay, if you want to crown him, crown him.
Yeah, Jesus.
I'm asking as a fan.
He's no Skarnecchia.
You want a cigar?
But he learned from Skarnecchia.
Cubana on a.
Oh, wow.
Where'd you get that?
Real?
A guy came by and threw it at my face.
Is that a slag?
I'm sure those aren't legal here.
Don't just throw that around.
I was giving it back to him.
This ain't legal?
You can't have Cubans in a...
Whoa.
I think you can now.
I think it's probably fake.
Most of them are all fake.
They're all throwing at me.
I do got something else here with me
that is legal here.
Yeah, it is, isn't it?
It is.
It's really nice out here
in the Laze Gone Desert.
Hey, Q's been trying to get me
to move out here for a long time.
When are we coming?
It's a good sell.
It's a real good sell.
The fucking vibes at the depot are fucking sweet, dude.
Fire vibes, brother.
I saw the boys fired up about the weather yesterday.
Everything's good out here right now.
Yeah.
Really chilly last night, though.
It was.
You got real chill.
Yeah, which I also like.
The fire pit helps, though.
Yeah.
I mean, I see one scorpion, and I am complete money.
We got to find one.
Scorpios are a problem.
No, they're not, right?
Can't you just hammer them right in the fucking head? Do I grab them by the face, or where do you grab them? No, no, you just hit them with mallets. are a problem. No, they're not right. Can't you grab a fucking head?
Do I grab him by the face? So what do you grab him? No, you just hit him with a pointer and with mouth
No, no, take your shoes off. Take your socks off and step on it. Okay, please boss. What about the tarantulas? Don't see him
Oh, I don't want that's great. They've seen you the brown recluse
Snakes ever the woodland. Yeah, I've seen snakes.
I've seen rattlers.
Connor was walking through the high grass.
I don't mind snakes as much.
What?
What?
Snake's a bigger problem than scorpions.
Scorpions aren't going to kill you, is it?
No.
No, they don't kill you, but, man, they hurt.
Is it like a mosquito?
It's like the mosquito of the desert, scorpion?
I think it's a little worse than that.
It's like a shark of the desert.
It'll kill me?
No, no, I think it'll it'll
mess you up though okay scorpion's gonna kill me yeah that's the whole thing necrosis yeah it's
got the poison out of here you're right though you you come in tango with a rattler dead yeah
bye-bye i'm shitting my pants i'm having a heart attack my my heart's gonna be beating so just from
the sound that venom's going through you in fucking 90 seconds. And it's quicker than I am. Yeah.
So I'm in cowboy boots in the desert.
It's very dry.
My lips are chapped.
I run into one of these fucking killers.
There's no way I got the wits about me to give a shimmy or shake.
Not unless you have a machete on you.
We should carry machetes.
And it's a big look left China balloon here.
Yeah, exactly.
And then fucking.
Yeah.
I've seen your boots.
I've seen your boots.
You're good.
I understand.
But I got these chapped lips.
I'm really starting to feel it already.
You get a nice pair of denim, too?
Yeah.
No, everybody knows I wear a stretchy denim because I like to be comfortable.
I mean, they're literally called the Arizona Diamondbacks out here.
So, yeah, you're going to have to deal with something.
You've got to carry a Glock.
Is it Diamondback or Rattler?
Oh, yeah.
That's the big dog of the Rattlers?
Yeah, but you're Dr. Doolittle.
You got all them animals.
They love you out here.
Yeah.
Give them some Froot Loops.
It's not an animal.
You can bring them in as a pet.
Blizzard. Give them a donut and you'll be fine. That's not how it goes. They love you out here. Yeah. Give them some Froot Loops. It's not an animal. You can bring them in as a pet. Blizzard.
Give them a donut and you'll be fine.
That's not how it goes.
They're low in blood.
They crave human blood.
They don't fuck with animals.
They go after your genitals.
Don't shoot it.
No, no.
See, but you're right, though, AJ.
You're right.
Because what we've learned about snakes from Steve Irwin, that fucking handsome rest in
peace bastard.
Here we go.
You fucking find that snake.
You know what I mean?
You got to go, boom, right behind it.
You know what I mean?
You got to go right behind its head.
Yeah, so you got to pin it.
Like I used to do Jimmy, my alligator.
You got to get behind the head so it can't turn and bite you.
Bingo.
Because then once you got that, you can kind of say, oh, you're my bitch now.
And then they milk it, remember?
They like milk the thing.
Yeah, we'll do that.
I can't wait to do this later.
They suck it up.
Yeah, so like you do that.
When it comes to the scorpion, you just fuck what?
You just hammer that thing right in the head?
That's it.
So it's like in Australia
and America. Black light. Bam.
Bam. Why black light?
They light up. Why do you want to see it's jizz?
They glow. Under a black light,
they glow.
Like the Mountain Dew pitch black match?
Black lights aren't good for me.
LA Knight win that?
LA Knight did not win the...
No, he almost got killed.
But you're right.
Black lights expose a lot of decisions you make off air.
That's right.
Especially you.
Like a Jackson Pollock.
Not good for me.
Hey, how'd you.
That last one was the worst one.
Yeah.
Is it getting worse or better?
It gets better.
And then, you know, when Tom Curran or someone comes on, get a little riled up.
And then it gets worse.
Jesus, Ty.
You bring the throat coat spray?
Brought the throat coat spray, brought the throat coat tea.
Never drank tea before yesterday.
He did have, like, 10 cups.
He had the tea kettle sitting out warming it up.
It's making tea.
Whistling all day.
You get a shot.
It's fucking ridiculous.
Those famous singers go get, like, cortisone shot directly into their, like, vocal cords.
You should do that.
I'll do that, sure.
Where does that happen? I don't know. Call Rihanna. Does Rihanna have a doctor here or something? Probably. Rihanna isone shot directly into their, like, vocal cords. You should do that. I'll do that, sure. Where does that happen?
I don't know.
Call Rihanna.
Does Rihanna have a doctor here or something?
Probably.
Rihanna is coming to halftime, huh?
I know.
She's going to kill it, man.
I can't wait.
The Grammys were last night.
Everybody watch.
Oh, they're so good.
Yeah, they crushed it.
They did crush it.
Sam Smith is a beast.
Hey, listen, Harry.
He is a handsome Harry, isn't he?
Yeah, he is.
I like the sport coat with the—I think he had a boss on.
I had more of a tank top look,
but I appreciated that's what he,
The Rock, everybody else was wearing this year.
You're welcome, fashion.
I apologize for having to do it
seven years too early, but everybody
looked fantastic. I think my favorite
was when The Rock
and Adele finally got to meet.
I was right there at the beginning, but it really set
the table. And then speaking of table, how about the boys, huh?
Ricky, Jay-Z, Wayne, DJ Khaled, all the boys out there.
Eight-minute song to end up the Grammys while they're walking outside.
Yep.
Way to go, boys.
Good job, boys.
This is just tough to watch.
I missed that.
Ricky Martin performed with Jay-Z?
Ricky Ross.
Ricky Ross.
Oh, Tony.
The set was cool.
The whole table, they had all the food.
It was nice.
It was.
Just shut down the road outside the crypt.
Would have thought there would be a bigger pop for The Rock.
I'll be honest.
What do you mean?
There wasn't.
It wasn't that loud.
It seemed like it was very.
People were.
A couple people fainted, I think, because they didn't know he was there.
Yeah, they lost admission.
They lost money at the gate.
Yeah.
Because The Rock was coming.
Nope.
Actually, when they announced his name, it kind of was just like, all right, who's next?
There's no Adele's there.
People say a lot about her.
He's also a former Grammy winner.
So, you know, they're maybe just trying to beat The Rock.
Moana.
Yeah.
You ever heard of it?
Moana.
There's a line on there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I saw it.
Welcome.
I don't know.
Keep going.
That's good.
Keep going.
Thank you. I don't know the song. I think I took my kids to the theater for that, actually. Welcome. Welcome. I don't know. Keep going. That's good. Keep going. Thank you.
I don't know the song.
I think I took my kids to the theater for that, actually.
Welcome.
Welcome.
It's a good song.
That's a good movie.
Moana does have great music.
There's a better song in there that I can't.
Who's it by?
Welcome.
I used to listen to it all the time.
Much mana, Oos?
Does he say that in it?
Will Sasso will not be with us this week.
God damn it.
What?
I told you.
We did.
We gave a full-court press.
I mean, I honestly tried my best to get Will Sasso out here.
That was going to become something we were very excited for.
Maybe next year.
Maybe next year.
We'll continue our fandom of the Paisan comedian impressionists.
And to Will, we'd like to say, for even much more now ladies and gentlemen is a mixed martial arts rock star a man who's undefeated both his actual
record and in real life a superstar of the future just signed an eight-year deal with the ufc
money's good so is this man. Ladies and gentlemen, Sugar Sean.
Yeah!
Woo!
Good to see you, dude.
What's up? I love it. That was an uncomfortable
get up there. I had my wire wrapped around my
leg. Hey.
Hey. What's up,
brother? Good to see you, man. You too.
How are you, brother? I'm doing good. Just got done training.
Had a hard Monday morning. It's usually my my hardest session so i just had a hard session
always in shape always training or are we training for something right now you just signed that deal
what does that mean you got eight fights with ufc have they already been set up are you going to be
main event holy shit is that in that deal are you paid up front how does it all work how's this game
congratulations uh the fight structures are different for everyone.
My next fight will be for the title, waiting on Aljo and Henry to fight.
If they don't fight, if Aljo pulls out with a bicep injury,
I'd like to fight Henry still for the interim belt.
So regardless, my next fight will be for the title,
hopefully sooner than later.
Let's go, dude. Yeah, just re-signed with UFC for eight fights.
Hopefully I don't have to fight all 8 fights out
to renegotiate
did you put that in there?
you know what, it's tricky
it's tricky
I think my last 4 or 5 contracts were 8 fight deals
but I've been able to renegotiate
after 2 or 3 fights
good business by the way
I've been growing
and putting on good performances.
So ideally, I go out there, fight two or three times, go to the UFC.
I have a really good relationship with them.
Say, hey, guys, I think I've earned a bigger contract.
I think I deserve.
Reasonable.
I think I've earned a bigger contract.
And that's what happened this last fight.
I went out there and fought Peter Yan, the number one guy in the world.
Beat him.
The killer Russian.
Beat him.
Beat him.
I was waiting for Pat McAfee to say, hey, come on the show.
Dude, we were not talking to UFC much.
Dana was coming on.
We didn't want to overkill it.
We didn't want to do it.
No, I get it.
I get it.
I just thought we were boys.
Whoa!
Whoa!
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
We've been rooting.
Hey, we've been cheering.
The show's been talking.
I've been on them every single time.
I appreciate that.
I appreciate that.
We've been underwater for this whole fucking football season.
Happy to hear that happened, though, man.
Congrats on the success.
Yeah, no, thank you.
And you're finally fighting for the title.
This is what we've been talking about since the beginning, AJ.
Do you ever think about, like, I know you weren't ever a free agent,
but you ever look and entertain offers from other organizations?
At least let them think that you are, maybe?
That's like being in the NFL and saying, I might go somewhere else.
You ain't going nowhere else.
You want to be in the UFC.
You want to be at the biggest, baddest, best promotion in the world,
and that's the UFC.
So for me, right now in my career, there's no other place I want to fight.
I want to fight the best guys in the world.
Do you live out here full time?
I live in Peoria, Arizona, out in kind of an older folks town.
I've got to stay away from down here.
Smart.
Stay away from the chicks.
Smart.
Stay away from the alcohol.
Smart.
It's tough.
Wide.
It's tough. But, yeah, I live kind of far from here on purpose. Smart. Wide. It's tough. Wide. It's tough.
But, yeah, I live kind of far from here on purpose.
That's smart.
That's a good idea.
Arizona's been home for how long?
About nine years now.
Love it.
Yeah.
You know, there's a basement that this guy trains in.
They hit myths every single week.
Really?
AQ Shipley lives out here full time.
AQ, are you going to tell them about the basement training you've been getting into with Jay Glazer and the boys?
Oh, yeah.
A couple former UFC guys.
Kara Levis and Aaron Simpson, Jay Glazer.
Okay.
You've been wrestling much?
Did you say, no, I don't do anything on the ground.
Just wrestling or punching.
It's more just kind of hitting mitts.
Arizona, big MMA community, though, it sounds like.
Arizona's got, you know, I would say, yeah, top five places in the world to train.
Got a ton of good gyms, a bunch of very high-level coaches out here.
Are you fighting?
I remember last time we talked to you, you said,
I am trying to not get hit.
Like that is.
Yeah, that's the plan.
I'm not trying to.
Because who was that guy, the cement mixer he fought?
Moutinho.
Moutinho.
Moutinho.
You remember Moutinho.
My hands still kind of ache sometimes.
We literally, he used his face as a weapon.
Moutinho comes into a fight and saying
alright, this thing's going to beat up
both of your hands.
After I fought him, you guys had him on
and he had said that he trains
eight days a week.
And I was like, this motherfucker should be champ
if he's training that much.
But I think that was partially.
When you're training though, what are you doing? Are you fighting people? Are we hitting each other?
Like right now, how long would you need to get into fight shape if you
i would like at least minimum well i don't want yeah minimum eight weeks i would like two months
to to be able to train specifically for a specific opponent fight shape like i'm in pretty good shape
right now but it's you know fight shape's just different fight shape is eating perfect recovering
train just everything perfect.
And I do that probably about 85% outside of camp.
I live a pretty disciplined life as far as being in and out of camp.
I still train, you know, full time and eat very healthy outside of camp.
Oh, so you're part of the lifestyle.
It's a lifestyle.
How do you feel about Chandler and McGregor?
I love it.
I fucking love it. Yeah, I think we all do. It gets me excited. Oh, you feel about Chandler and McGregor? I love it. I fucking love it.
Yeah, I think we all do.
Oh, God, it gets me excited.
Because Chandler's a guy who likes getting punched in the face.
It seems like when he fights, he's like, cool with it.
Yeah, he's a scary dude, too.
I think it's a good matchup for Conor to come back.
They're all tough fights, but, you know, I like Michael Chandler, too,
but I've just been such a big fan of Conor
and he's inspired me so much
that I would love to
see Conor come back and get a win, even
though I really do like Michael Chandler.
Yeah, I think we're all kind of hoping, Rez,
we know Chandler. Chandler's been on the show
a couple times. Good dude. Great dude.
But just as a spectator of sport,
Conor McGregor coming back
is a hilariously great storyline for all parties if he does well.
Well, he came back and did the shoulder to Cowboy.
That's right.
Knocked the guy out with his fucking shoulder.
And then we had, okay, we got six months of promos coming from Conor for beating somebody up with his fucking shoulder blade.
Like, he's great for the sport.
I'm happy to hear you know that.
You're great for the sport, too, man.
Oh, yeah.
Look at you.
Dana and them are recognizing, too.
That's a big deal.
You earned it, though.
Eight fight, not eight years.
That would be horrible.
Yeah, and eight fight seems like a long time, too.
And you were laying out how it sounds like it's a long time.
But you're right.
Eight fights.
I apologize.
No, you're okay.
Huge deal.
Yeah.
It's a big deal.
Yeah, no, it is.
I'm finally kind of getting – I've always liked my contracts,
but this one I went in and negotiated myself, sat down with Hunter Campbell and went back and forth,
and I got a number I was very happy with and super excited to go out there.
You negotiated it?
Yeah, yeah.
Let's go.
So you went in there and you said, here's my number,
and if they say anything different, they're telling me my number is wrong?
Is that your mindset?
Well, they kind of have a number.
I say, eh, and then I throw one out, and they're like, well, we can do this.
And I said, well, can you do this? And and they're like, well, we can do this. And I say, well, can you do this?
And they're like, no, but we can do this.
And then we kind of get to a happy
place where we're both happy.
But it was fun.
Thank you. Thank you. It was fun.
Hey, that's not easy to do. It's not.
Is it hot in here? It's a little hot.
It's hot. Yeah, it's definitely hot.
You guys shirtless right now?
Oh, hell yeah!
Oh, there you go? Oh, hell yeah. That's a merch. Nice dude.
Oh, there you go.
Yeah, of course.
Look at you.
Thank you, man.
I was wearing this to show off
these fucking guns.
What?
What, dude?
What, dude?
Bro, you look so good.
What do you walk
around at right now?
That's a good question.
Right now,
I'm probably 158 pounds.
I feel like it's
a really good number
for a Bantamweight
because I have to get, next fight, I have to get down to8 pounds. I feel like it's a really good number for a bantamweight because I have to get –
next fight, I have to get down to 135 pounds.
Jesus.
The fights, non-title fights, you get a pound allowance.
135.
So I can make 136, which is usually what you do
because you don't want to cut the extra pound if you don't have to.
So next fight will be 135 pounds, and it will also be five five-minute rounds
rather than three five-minute rounds.
So you're damn near fighting
twice as long for a title fight or at least training for okay so my question is this because
i think jake paul and ksi just kind of introduced this to my life but it's real is there a bounce
back weight is that something that's being talked about on the other side like a 10 or 10 pound
bounce back not an ufc not an ufc there's that in fighting though at some stages some catch weights or whatever i don't know if that's specific maybe like after you weigh in i think
like you weigh in at 136 oh they'll tell you they'll tell us about you guys like hey he waited
in 135 he tonight he weighs 152 or something like they tell us that they're trying to monitor that
i think jake and ksi so you're not allowed to have a big they're saying you only get 10 you
can only weigh 10 is that normal i've never before. I don't think it's normal.
I don't know if maybe it is a little bit more normalized than boxing
or if it's more of like an influencer thing.
Like, I'll fight you, but you can't get too big.
I don't know.
I've never heard of it.
But you're, like, built perfectly for the fight game because you're wiry.
Yeah.
Very wiry, so you don't carry a lot of weight, seemingly.
I think, I mean, look at Jon Jones.
He looks exactly like me.
Maybe a little taller.
He's heavyweight.
You're not heavyweight.
No, but that lengthy kind of body, that build, is really good for fighting.
It's really good for jiu-jitsu, striking.
So, yeah, I think it's an advantage having this build.
Ty Schmidt has a question for you.
Sean, are you at the point now where, like, when you're looking ahead at when you're going to fight,
can you be strategic about, like, hey, I want to be on this card at this place, like, with, you know.
Not in this state with these taxes.
Yeah, exactly.
Or, like, you know, I assume that you're trying, especially if you're fighting for the title,
you want to be the main event.
But you mentioned Jon Jones.
Like, hey, fuck it.
When he's fighting Cyril Gan, I want to be the co-main event on that card.
Are you at the point where you can kind of be strategic about that and pick and choose?
That's a good question.
There's definitely taxes that play a part in different states.
My last ten fights before that last fight were in Las Vegas, and that was kind of for a reason.
I would tell the UFC, hey, I'd really like to fight in Vegas.
It's super close to home.
I'm very comfortable with it.
They offered me.
They said, hey, we want you to fight Peter in Abu Dhabii so my last fight was in abu dhabi and how was that
experience over there i saw you i went over about three weeks early just to make sure i got the time
difference was like 11 hours difference and i'm glad i did maybe it was a little too long but i
would rather have been too long than not long enough so uh it ended up being good uh but they
thought it would be really good for my brand to to get exposure on that side of the world so and i trust the ufc hey if you guys want me to fight in a spot that i don't necessarily
want to you know i'm going to trust you guys to do it as far as being like a co-main event on a
certain on a certain card if you are fighting if you're defending the belt you get pay-per-view
points so then it would matter if you're on a massive card like a john jones card and it sells
really well getting a title is huge deal big deal huge deal so for me to fight for the title i don't get
pay-per-view points so technically if the pay-per-view doesn't do very well you don't
think it doesn't matter but it does really well it still doesn't really matter i only get a cert
i don't get a certain percentage of that i go out there and knock out henry sahudo which i probably
will hell yeah i defend my belt against probably cheeto the rematch that's what everyone wants to
see dog fat pay-per-view i will get percentage of that and you know you sell so interim title
is very good business for ufc yeah the interest nobody's fighting if nobody has it nobody's
getting points off of this that's it yeah i mean if me and uh henry were to fight on a main event
on a pay-per-view technically yeah you're right they wouldn't have to pay out a pay-per-view, technically yeah, you're right. They wouldn't have to pay out a pay-per-view.
I'm just piecing it.
UFC's very smart. They're very
successful for a reason. Yeah, but if you're the champ
you're bringing in the eyes, you should get points on the back end.
That's an easy thing to negotiate
and add in. I think that's good business. What you're
laying out here, you negotiating directly with the UFC,
you feeling comfortable,
you being able to renegotiate before your fights are up,
that's all very contradictory to everything else that is said
about UFC and business and everything like that.
I think UFC is very fair as far as you get what you kill.
You eat what you kill, and I'm killing, so I'm eating.
I think they're very fair.
It is a tricky, you know, fighting is a tricky, tricky business.
I've just got it figured out.
Hey, congrats, dude. Thank you, brother. Tone has a tricky, you know, fighting is a tricky, tricky business. I've just got it figured out. Hey, congrats, dude.
Thank you, brother.
Tone has a question for you.
We've kind of been think-taking this day because it's our first full day here today,
and you've been here almost a decade.
Should we be more worried about the scorpions or the snakes?
I think right now it's like the winner or whatever here.
I think we're good.
I don't think there's any scorpions or snakes.
What?
Really?
Yeah, I think. I mean, if you get bit by one, it's not my fault. No, no, no. But I think we're good. I don't think there's any scorpions or snakes. Really? Yeah, I think.
If you get bit by one, it's not my fault.
No, no, no. But I think we're good. Definitely would be your fault.
You just signed that big new deal.
I did last summer. There was two rattlesnakes
right outside my house.
Fucking.
Oh, so baby rattlers are coming.
So we had to take care of them.
How do you take care of them?
You call your neighbor.
Hey, Mark, I am terrified when you come over and catch these things.
Take care of them for me.
Does he do the back of the neck grab?
No, he built this pole with a little wire.
You pull it around the neck.
Mark's a wet dog.
Mark's a dog.
He's got wolves.
Oh, they howl with you.
You howl with them, right? Every night, every morning, they howl. So my neighbor, Mark, he's a dog Mark He's got wolves Oh they howl with you You howl with him right
Every night every morning
They howl
So my neighbor Mark
He's a legend
He lives an hour out
In the middle of fucking
Yeah no shit
He's living out there
So he can
Eliminate distractions
And kind of live
A secluded life
Mark's living out
Because he's about that life
Exactly
That is Mark's life
He's a good neighbor to have
Absolutely
As are you I assume
How is family
How's life
How's everything
Yeah my daughter
She's two It's everything yeah my daughter she's
two it's it's a trip the amount she's talking right now and danny my wife's mom just speaks
spanish and she's like our full-time nanny so so elena's like speaking spanglish right now it's
half her she's speaking half english half spanish and it's it's so fun right now two years old i can
see why people have multiple kids because i'm like this stage
right now is so fun that i i want like another one okay another one okay but also don't want to
deal with when your wife's pregnant and all that stuff so it's like what do i do i will say this
is my first time i'm going through pregnancy right now with my wife okay congratulations
thank you scared to death yeah pregnancy is not what i like
i had no idea what i was getting into yeah i know what a badass obviously what the women go through
is absurd but i had no idea this is what i guess i should have known should i have known that's
something i should have known like this is she's a fucking badass what's going on they got four kids
well wow he's got three kids one one everybody's a lot going on. They got four kids. What? Oh, wow. He's got three kids.
One, one.
There's a lot going on in there.
There's a lot going on inside that home.
Growing a human is pretty fucking crazy.
Dude, it is bananas what's going on.
It was crazy when I was taking online classes with her, kind of.
I was fucking just sitting there stoned, listening.
That's when you learn the best.
They were talking about the breast milk and how important it is
and going into the science behind breast milk.
And that's trippy.
Yeah, it's always just been a joke.
Like, oh, you're milking?
And then you learn about it.
It's like, oh, the body is actually creating.
It's unbelievable.
Yeah, so sometimes I try to get a little bit out of that, too, just to.
Yes.
That's what I've been looking for.
The placenta, right?
I'm going to say the placenta is real powerful.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Did you take a bite out of that?
Yeah, and you got to drink baby blood, too, right? Yeah. What you guys do out here in the West Coast, that's what you guys been looking for. The placenta, right? I'm going to say the placenta is real powerful. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Would you take a bite out of that? And you've got to drink baby blood, too, right?
Yeah.
What you guys do out here in the West Coast?
That's what you guys do in the West Coast.
I haven't heard about that one.
That's what Dreener said.
Hey, what's that thing you're always selling, the smoking thing?
There's a couple.
No, the device.
That's the Dr. Dabber.
That's a dab rig.
Can we pull a picture of that up?
That thing's awesome.
The dab rigs, those are intense.
Those things are pretty intense.
Yeah, I am somebody that frequents the vitamins whenever I'm in legal states.
And every time I see you promote that thing, I'm like, that looks like a science experiment to like, hey, it's going to get you.
Have you ever seen the volcano?
Oh, yeah, the little bags?
The bag.
That's like my number one right now.
That's my go-to.
Because you need your cardio.
Yeah, I mean mean i think it's
the healthiest way is vaporizing it and uh so yeah i need that when you're training are you
running swimming what do you do cardio i enjoy running a lot it's uh i've been training for
probably about 11 years pretty consistently so running sometimes hurts my knees so i'm always
trying to stay on top of that. But I do enjoy running.
AQ has a question for you out here in beautiful Arizona training.
Yeah, so you've done most of your – you've obviously loved Vegas, right?
Yeah.
Would you want to do a hometown fight?
Would you want to do a fight here in Phoenix?
Dude, I would love to be, you know, main event here in Phoenix.
You know, Henry Cejudo's pretty sure says he's from Phoenix or Arizona too,
so I think that would make sense if we could come out here.
Not a bad gate.
That'd be sweet.
That'd be awesome.
Yeah, that would be sweet.
But regardless, eventually, I think I have about 10 more years.
I'm 28.
10 more years of training, competing.
So eventually we'll come out here, hopefully sooner than later.
You see some new tats, I believe, on the body.
Yeah, sometimes.
I just...
Bored?
When we get them done, just bored? Sometimes I just look on the body. Yeah, sometimes. I just... Bored? Do we get them done?
Just bored?
Sometimes I just look in the mirror and I'm like, think about emoji and fucking just throw
it up.
How'd that feel right there?
The neck's not too bad.
The ones that hurt are just like the longer ones.
Anywhere that kind of doesn't take too long, it's not too bad.
So, yeah, tattoos are super random.
They're like, what do they mean?
I'm like, I don't fucking know.
Nothing.
Good for you.
Good for you.
It doesn't have to
yeah
you still twitching
we still gaming
still twitching
no yeah
I switched over to
YouTube gaming
so I still game every day
hey
congratulations
YouTube gaming
hell yeah
Call of Duty
Warzone 2 right now
fuck dude
I'm addicted
I'm a functional addict though
so I still have to
like I have to
I can control myself
like okay
we game for three hours today, it's time
to get off. Three hours? That's a long time.
It goes like that. Yeah, it does whenever you just
You're on the headset with the boys,
the stream's popping off,
and you're just fucking dialed in,
and it goes fast.
You good at the game? You great at the game?
Depends who you ask. You ask my little brother,
he'd say probably not, but you ask me and no one's looking
out there, yeah.
I like to play with really good guys Depends who you ask. You ask my little brother, he'd say probably not. But you ask me and no one's looking, I'll say yeah. Oh, trash? Is that what you're saying?
No.
I like to play with really good guys that do really well,
and then I kind of just, I'll buy them back if they die,
or if they need a car, I'll go fucking get a car.
Here's your sniper.
Oh, look how sweet you look.
You play with Optic Scump, or?
No, I would love to.
I mean, I love playing with the pros, but they don't love playing with me. Which team's yours?
FaZe Clan?
No, I don't got one.
You don't have a team? No, I'm Sugar. You should start one. No, I'd like to, I don't love playing with me. Which team is yours? FaZe Clan? No, I don't got one. You don't have a team? No, I'm Sugar.
You should start one. No, I'd like to...
I don't know. I just like

celebrities and other guys, but
I like gaming with the boys.
Yeah.
You game at all? I just
got into it. Really?
I looked sarcastic a little bit. No?
I made it.
PGA2K is my first dabble on PS5. Really? I looked sarcastic a little bit. No? No? I made it. For sure.
PGA2K is my first dabble on PS5.
Really?
I don't think I've ever played a golf game with, like, a controller.
It's awesome.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, so I can't control my body with these things. Like, the way you were just doing right there.
Yeah.
Like, look at this.
Literally, you see me do this thing.
It's fucking bam, pow, bang.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, it is impossible.
Damn, that's a sweet little fucking thing right there.
I'd have to get one of them. That's a TPZ.
You'll get it.
Because you do your live shows for
hours a day. Yeah, three and a half.
That's fucking impressive. That's like me gaming.
Yeah, well, I don't know how you
just snipe people for three and a half hours.
Well, I miss most of the time.
Last year, we were in that one right there.
We were on that stage right there.
That DraftKings one. At the Super Bowl? Yeah, this last year, we were in that one right there. We were on that stage right there. That DraftKings one.
At the Super Bowl?
Yeah, this radio row.
We were at that one right there.
Where was that Super Bowl last year?
L.A.
L.A.
L.A.
And next year, it's a dump.
Yeah.
It was.
It was a dump.
Compared to this, you're kidding me.
It was a dump.
Is next year in Vegas?
Is that what I heard?
It might be.
Oh, yeah, it could be.
Because they haven't hosted one yet.
That would be sweet.
Hey, I was just there.
I know you fought there and had a lot of celebrations there and everything like that.
Do you like Vegas or not?
Yeah, dude. You ever go to David Copperfield?
David Copperfield. He's a legend.
That was interesting. If you ever go to a show,
go.
No, but you look around. Fucking
Luke Bryan is here. Miranda
Lambert is here. Usher is here. Ade Bryan is here. Yep. Miranda Lambert is here.
Usher is here.
Adele is here.
Seinfeld's performing over here.
There's five-star restaurants.
Yeah, the chefs.
Fucking everywhere.
There's the housing there.
Yeah.
You can buy monstrous homes.
I got a residency at Resorts World now.
So anytime I go there, I'm going to Resorts World.
I've heard that place is the nicest place there.
Dude, I love Resorts World. I tried to get in. Remember, they wouldn't let us in. I've heard that place is the nicest place there. I love Resortsworld.
I tried to get in.
Remember, they wouldn't let us in.
It's UFC partner now, right?
Don't you guys always stay there?
I have a separate apartment.
I have a separate partnership with them.
I'm not sure if the UFC is too.
Oh, you're saying you had a deal before that.
If they do have a deal, congrats to them.
I had a deal before this.
No, yeah, Resortsworld is nice.
I like how the club's just downstairs, so you can get blacked out and stumble upstairs.
Find your way. I heard the restaurant there's just downstairs, so you can get blacked out and stumble upstairs. Find your way.
I heard the restaurant there is insane, too.
Fuhu.
I mean, every time I go to Vegas, I go to Fuhu.
They have a bunch of good restaurants down there.
Yeah, but I thought, you know, whenever I was younger, Vegas was one thing.
And I had no idea there was other Vegases there.
But I've had to work there now a couple times, so I've gotten to see some shit that they have and everything.
I could see how people would live out there.
Oh, yeah.
I could see how people would enjoy that.
Especially if you get Copperfield all the time.
Are you kidding me?
I'm probably not going to go back to Copperfield.
What are you sipping on there?
A little tea?
It's a green tea to keep the energy levels high.
You a coffee guy or a tea guy more?
More tea.
Really?
Green tea.
Really?
More than a coffee, huh?
How about you?
You love coffee?
I love coffee.
I make my coffee.
Do an AeroPress every morning.
Grind the beans. AeroPress.
Process.
Love the process.
Make sure the water's heated up to 200.
Make sure I'm using good water.
Yeah, take my 10 minutes to make coffee.
I love it.
Do you work out first thing in the morning?
I usually work out around 10, 10, 10.30.
Is that when you wake up?
When you wake up?
I wake up at 7.30, 8-ish.
Do the coffee first.
Well, ideally, you don't have coffee too close to waking up.
They say I think about 90 minutes is ideal.
Hold on.
Science, what's this?
I think Andrew Huberman.
I don't know if you guys have heard of him.
I'm pretty sure he said about 90 minutes so you don't get that crash.
And make sure you get really hydrated.
Get some protein in your body before you start sipping on your coffee, I guess is.
Wow.
So I don't like coffee because of the crash.
Personally, sounds like what I've been doing is coffee wrong.
Yeah.
How come the rest of the world doesn't notice?
How come all my mud friends don't know all this?
They look like scientists.
They do.
A little bit.
Pretty close.
Yeah.
I think you crash from that.
I think it's I mean, that's still caffeine.
More caffeine, right? I don't know
I mean, that's a big cup
But I don't know you won't crash green tea. I think has less human than coffee
But I don't know similar to Wim Hof her what's that Wim Hof of food? I believe there's Andrew Huberman. Who's Andrew Huberman?
Yeah, yeah, he's very good. Well, I don't know what his title would be a scientist
Beast these guys love scientists. Human optimization.
A lot of scientists. I'm stupid.
I just listen to smart people, and then they ask me why.
That's everybody.
Because he said it.
You're not stupid, then.
That's learning.
Yeah, hello.
Hey, hey, hey.
Oh, look at you, sugar.
Oh, yeah.
That's called learning.
I didn't do good in high school.
I didn't do too good.
Do you do good in high school?
Absolutely not.
Yeah, high school's tough for me.
I got into West Virginia, though.
That's all you needed.
Yeah.
Harvard of West Virginia.
Did you graduate high school?
I don't remember.
A little bit, kind of.
It's like I dropped out.
I went to this alternative learning school.
Like to work on mechanics?
Vocational?
No.
What was it called?
It was like an alternative.
It was still like a high school.
Like a co-op?
You work half day?
I know some people go to school half day and work half day.
Mechanic, right?
They like mechanic.
Like trade school.
Yeah.
My mom liked it. Trades Wel school. Yeah, my mom did that.
Yeah, it wasn't that.
It was literally just like, I don't know how to explain it.
School for people that don't want to go to school, but your parents still make you.
Okay.
I don't know.
Did your brother go there?
He's fucking smart.
Isn't that what school is?
School is things you don't want to go to.
No, my brother was smart.
He was like 4.0 and a good athlete.
Older or younger?
Younger.
But for football, when I was probably in middle school,
I would have sat there and told you I'm going to be in the NFL.
Hey, I saw a little wiggle when he came around the bench.
Hey, I'm playing Saturday.
Flag football.
Celebrity flag football.
On the sand?
Is that the sand game?
It doesn't matter if it's in the sand, on the grass, on the turf.
We play wide out? Yeah. Wide out, DB, baby. Who's throwing the sand maybe on the turf we play wide out yeah
baby who's throwing a ball to you do you know rg3 take somebody's head off triple sticks yeah yeah
we already got chemistry i sent him a bit on instagram a little route said hey letting you
know what i got can we gamble how many yards yeah can we gamble i'm scoring three with two
picks i'll take your bet oh you're playing both sides i better be or i'm leaving because Because they got some random WWE girls out there that probably aren't going to be taking it serious.
And if they're in my position and I'm on the bench, I'm going to be a little upset.
So I love that mindset towards a celebrity game.
Because I'm trying to get kicked out of it immediately upon getting into it.
You know what I mean?
Like, I like that you're going both ways there.
Yeah, I want to be DB.
I think they got some Michael Irvins on the other team.
Whoa.
He's still got it.
What game is this?
Stay away from him.
Do you know what game this is?
Celebrity flag football, Saturday, 1 to 3.
They do it every year, right?
Yeah.
It's always a big deal.
But they used to do it on the beach.
I don't know if they do it.
Is that what you're on here, marketing?
They're not paying me, so if you watch it, I don't really care.
That's awesome.
If they're paying me, watch it.
But you're going to do a show.
But I'm going to put on a show I don't wanna get too confident
But I would like to go out there
And have some fun
And score a couple times
You're the only one
That's gonna be in
Like impeccable shape
Out there I assume
Unless Kurt Warner
Is Kurt Warner playing
Mike Larvin's still going
Doug Flutie
Is I think
On my team as well
Flutie can sling it
And he plays the drums too
Here we go
Here it is
2023 celebrity rosters
Quarterback
Robert Griffin The third gun against Quarterback Tracy Mccgrady is that the tracy mcgrady i think
so robert griffin the third is the quarterback of your team and tracy mcgrady's the quarterback
of the other team what a fucking slap in the face to doug flutie yeah and also it feels like you got
picked to the right team doug flutie andre reed josh rich Sean O'Malley, Nikki Bella, Rob Riggle. Oh, yeah.
Look out.
Hannibal Buress, KJ Osborne.
Bilal Muhammad.
Okay.
Frankie Muniz.
Yep.
Either that or Malcolm in the middle.
He's in the middle.
Oh, I love Roenick, too.
Middle backer.
That could be fun.
Titus O'Neal is in great shape.
But there is a – I don't think it says it on here.
I think there's a couple NFL guys that are going to be current NFL guys.
Oh, playing?
No way they're going to be playing. KJ Osborne. Christian McCaffrey. Is he okay? Yeah, there's a couple NFL guys that are going to be current NFL guys. Oh, playing? No way they're going to be playing.
KJ Osborne.
Christian McCaffrey.
Is he okay?
Yeah, there's a couple on there.
Is Christian McCaffrey?
You're playing against Clay Guida?
How's he going to?
That's awesome.
I want to see Clay Guida.
That's funny.
Madcap Moss.
Oh, my God.
You've got problems with Madcap Moss.
He played in Minnesota.
Is he on my team?
No, he's on the other team.
Oh, right there, Madcap.
What's he play?
Son of a bitch.
WWE.
He'll play everything. Oh, he's a WWE guy? Yeah, he's a great athlete. He used to play's on the other team. Oh, right there, Madcap. What's he play? Son of a bitch. WWE. He'll play everything.
Oh, he's a WWE guy?
Yeah, he's a great athlete.
He used to play college football, I believe.
Oh, wow.
Billy Blanks.
This is one guy I don't want to fuck with.
Justin Gaethje?
Yeah.
Nope.
He's on the other team, but I'll probably stick clear of him.
Billy Blanks is on the other team.
Tybo, right?
Yeah.
You're fucked if Billy Blanks starts going into double time.
Uh-oh.
Dude, look out.
Your head will be spinning out there.
I'm excited to see Tracy spinning around.
But it should be fun. I'm pumped. Hey, good luck
out there, dude. Yeah.
Hope we get MVP. Get a dub for the home team.
That's the plan. When did you sign this UFC deal?
Uh, a couple of days.
Well, I'm still having lawyers look at
the... It's not actually signed, but it was
talked about. You have agreed to terms. Yeah.
You have agreed to terms. Yeah, exactly.
Still cut off eight of those.
What?
Okay.
I break that out every once in a while.
Let's see it.
Let's hear it.
That's all I got.
That was pretty damn good, though.
I would break that out more than every once in a while.
I usually, when I get a kill on a playing Call of Duty, I'll fucking...
Do you have the rig where you can set it up and, you know, it's like.
Yeah, the Bob Dylan rig.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's sitting on your neck all the time.
You just go to it.
Pretty good.
Yeah, really good.
That's actually not a bad idea.
We'll send you one.
So I got to hit that every once in a while.
We would like to sponsor the harmonica rig.
Yeah.
I'll get on Amazon after this, actually.
We would.
We'll get you.
We need to get some info from you.
You sound like Peter Frampton.
We don't expect it on every single kill shot, but at least one kill shot a stream.
It could be everyone.
They're very few and far.
It's like every once in a while I hit a kill shot.
You've got to be the only one that's doing the fucking harmonica celebration on the internet right now in 2023.
I think this might have a couple people ordering them on Amazon.
Well, hey, you need to know.
I'm all in.
That is not easy to do what he just did.
It sounds easy,
but that was unbelievable.
It's weird because I feel like
I've kind of gotten
a little bit better
just from hitting it
randomly every once in a while.
Can we hear one more?
No, no.
I can't do it on the...
Oh, no!
If you're...
I mean, it might come out
randomly.
It's got to be organic.
It's just got to be.
Maybe hit the flag football.
Yeah, here we go.
We'll get you a rig
just like this.
Damn. See his rig? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're Bob Dylan, dude. That's fucking sweet. Got springs on everything football. Here we go. We'll get you a rig just like this. See his rig?
You're Bob Dylan, dude. That's fucking sweet.
Got springs on everything so you can really go after him.
Yeah, I need one of those.
Yeah, we got you. We're going to send it over.
Thank you. We'll have to negotiate a deal. We'll agree to terms.
Send a contract. We'll have some lawyers
looking over it and then we'll figure it all out.
God, you love lawyer fees. I love those.
Congrats on all the success, man. Thank you, brother.
We're happy for you.
You got a prediction for the Super Bowl.
Are you allowed to?
Yeah, I'm allowed.
Okay.
It's Monday.
That's true.
It's pretty early.
Some people say the script was already released.
I don't know if you guys saw that.
That's a good point.
What do you think about the script?
And what do you think it's going to say?
Daniel, actually, my little brother showed me the other day.
He was showing me a couple of the memes.
It was pretty fucking funny.
Great internet.
Very, very thankful for the internet.
What do you think the script says on Sunday?
I think the script says
Michael Vick comes back,
throws a bomb.
Michael Vick?
He was at the Pro Bowl.
I'm like, I'm still in 2010,
Madden.
Those are the players I remember.
Oh, okay, smart.
So, hey, judge that accordingly.
Chiefs were much different then than they are now.
We were looking at like the 2010 Chiefs, like the ones I remember back from playing Madden,
and the Chiefs and the Eagles didn't have too many players that I actually remember.
So it's impressive they're here right now.
Yeah, well, this Philadelphia Eagles franchise, I don't know if you know this, Sugar Sean,
just like three years ago, we were actually talking,
what's the biggest dumpster fire in the NFL, Houston or Philadelphia?
Three years ago.
Won a Super Bowl.
Won a Super Bowl.
The entire place burned down.
Built a statue.
Both people in the statue kicked the fuck out of the building unceremoniously.
Like that all happened very quickly in the city of Philadelphia.
It goes, of course, we finally win,
and then we burn it down. Howie Roseman's got him
all the way back. Very impressive turnaround
with their coach, to your point
there about 10 years ago not being anything.
And then the Chiefs, they had this
quarterback named Alex Smith.
Greatest game manager
of all time, people say.
Had his best year he's ever had. They go up to New England
with Alex Smith. Win by like
28 on primetime.
Kansas City Chiefs. Immediately following the season,
this guy's getting MVP votes.
Andy Reid, the head coach, goes, alright, get him
the fuck out of here. Send him to Washington.
There's this new guy, Patrick Mahomes, that nobody's heard of.
And ever since he started,
dynasty, sugar Sean.
So both teams, an incredible coming of age
tale of bouncing back from dark days and being at the top. Who do you think wins, Sugar Sean. Damn. So both teams, an incredible coming-of-age tale of bouncing back from, you know, dark days and being at the top.
Who do you think wins, Sugar Sean?
That's life right there.
It is, isn't it?
It is.
Who do I think wins?
To be honest, I'm not really sure.
I haven't been keeping up with football too much.
Yeah, it's probably better.
Patrick Mahomes seems just like he's the fuck.
He knows how to win.
He seems he just knows how to fucking win.
And I'd probably go with the Chiefs. I was a die
hard Broncos fan though.
They were kind of conflict there with the Chiefs
when I was watching. You guys just hired
Sean Payton. Are you pumped about that or what?
I couldn't name a
guy on the Broncos right now to be honest.
Russell Wilson is there.
You should hang out with Russell.
Russell needs that. He does.
I need Jesus so that might be good.
There you go.
Holy shit.
Sean Payton just fixed the Broncos.
I was watching when Blake Jake Plummer, Sean Lynch,
Clinton Portis.
Who else was I?
Champ Bailey.
I used to want to be a DC. Champ.
Champ was awesome.
Fuck, yeah.
That was when I was watching him at Prime right there.
DeMarcus Ware.
Brandon Marshall.
Brandon Marshall.
Vaughn Miller.
Vaughn Miller, yeah.
Jay Cutler.
Jay Cutler.
Was he on?
Yeah, yeah, he was later.
Oh, yeah.
Don't forget Tim Tebow.
Tim Tebow.
Got you guys a playoff win.
That's right.
Speaking of Jesus.
Jesus.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Amen.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hey. Speaking of Jesus. Amen. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.
Hey, keep it going.
We appreciate you stopping by.
Thankful you were able to kind of catch up with us.
Yeah, no, I appreciate it being a student.
That was fucking awesome.
I appreciate it.
I hope next fight, regardless where it's at, hope you can pop by.
Show up.
The fight.
The fight.
I'd like for it to be, you know what?
A thing when you're fighting. A thing? Like you know what? A thing when you're fighting.
A thing?
Like, it'll be a thing when you're fighting.
I want it to be the thing where the biggest, the baddest people come out.
And I think hopefully it'll be in Vegas in July if I had to make a prediction right now.
That's a big deal right there.
That's probably some breaking news of some sort.
Well, I wouldn't call it.
That's just kind of what I'm hoping for.
You will be out west.
This is what happens in this particular program.
Like UFC folks from your world come on.
We watch the fights, but we don't cover every single day.
Say something like that, and then we'll be attacked for not knowing
that that's breaking news on the Internet by the MMA journalists.
This isn't breaking news.
I don't know.
Henry and Aljo are supposed to fight in May.
And as far as
like, I'm fighting the winner of those guys, so
the actual turnaround from May to July would
be very, very quick, so it's not
even that likely. So now we're talking
November probably. Well, I mean,
October would be a full
year. I will never fight in August again.
I fought Cheeto in August, and he kicked
me in the nerve, and my leg fell asleep. Oh, and that was where that sneaky pesky little one showed up i don't know
no yeah yeah i'll never fight august again for that reason i just don't know if that's a good
luck month it's a bad luck month so i i would skip august okay i won't even be mona i'll tell
him i'm i can't make it hey you're still undefeated, dude. Yeah, I mean, I agree.
I think that's the narrative.
That's science.
Thank you.
Thank you, Andrew Huberman.
You're welcome.
We learned about today through you.
And so many other things.
We can't thank you enough.
Ladies and gentlemen, Sugar Sean.
Yeah!
Thank you, guys.
Thank you, dude.
Appreciate you, man.
Great to see you guys. We'll probably see you throughout the week. Yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah. Awesome, man. Thank you, guys. Thank you, dude. Appreciate you, man. Great to see you guys.
We'll probably see you throughout the week.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
You around here?
Awesome, man.
Thank you.
That was awesome, brother.
Good luck with everything.
Good luck, man.
Appreciate it, man.
Hey, look at that game, huh?
Hey, shoot.
There you go.
Hell yeah.
Hey, go snipe some folks, huh?
Hell yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Dude, fucking harmonica, bro.
Unbelievable.
Pretty damn good.
Yeah, clean with it.
He's bringing it back.
It's almost mind-blowing that it showed up.
Yeah, I know.
He whipped it out.
Yeah, I was looking back here.
I thought Adam Schein was playing it.
Hey, haven't had a chance to chat with him in a while.
No.
That is interesting, you know?
I thought.
Would be pretty sweet.
To talk to him?
Oh, no, to go to his next fight.
Oh, yes.
What is the deal?
Are we doing that? It sounds like it's going to be in, like, October, no, to go to his next fight. Oh, yes. What is the deal? Are we doing that?
It sounds like it's going to be in, like, October, though, probably.
I hope he finds it.
If he could fight in July, they always do, like, the International Fight Week or whatever
they do.
It's a whole thing out in Vegas for the whole week.
If he could fight on that card.
What if it's the weekend before Tahoe?
Should we really talk?
Should we go with your fight friends again?
Vince and Trips?
Yeah, me.
Oh, yeah.
Me, Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Triple H, and Nick Klonkin.
Hopefully your neck is all right this time.
Well, Baron Corbin attacked me out of nowhere.
Yeah, that was bullshit.
Scumbag.
Had the greatest seat in the house.
Had a broken neck.
No, that was war games where we had the T2, T3 scare.
But that was just, I mean, he just got roughed up.
I haven't seen him.
That's going to happen.
Did you end his career?
I haven't seen him.
He's still out there wrestling.
Brock at five.
He had a tough Rumble night.
He had a tough Rumble night. I haven't seen that little guy either.
Is his career over? He's a champion now.
Orswoggle? Who are you talking about?
No, that guy
that fucked up
your colitis.
Are you talking about Adam Cole? Yeah, that's it.
He's at the end of the mark.
He's in a different program.
Get his ass beat by Hangman Page.
All right, let's wrap up this program.
Covering the news of the day.
Are we able to pull up some tweets, Zito?
I think we should be able to pull up some tweets here.
All right, Zito's going to look for a couple of tweets.
Use hashtag PMSNAZ.
Send your question.
Somebody just shit right into a microphone.
No, I didn't.
This thing.
Listen.
It was actually me moving the mic here.
You see that?
Okay.
I was going to let it go.
I thought it was a.
I mean, if I did, if I put a Dane Orszalowski and farted into my mic, I had to pull it down.
Did he ever talk about that, by the way?
I forget that was the season.
I like whenever we just look back on things that took place out of nowhere.
Yeah, because he had to have sneezed and wanted to get off his microphone,
but he had his head set on.
So the mic went down with him, and when he sneezed, he tightened up his stomach.
Yeah, he sneezed so hard he shit his pants.
Yeah.
Did he say anything?
No, I don't think he was ever talking about it.
I think probably the right play.
I mean, we all moved on until now.
Yeah.
It's the biggest week.
He was gone for like 15 minutes after the first commercial break,
so I assume he had to go down and change his underwear and everything.
New diaper.
Is Donald out here this week?
What were you going to say?
You were going to say something there or no?
No, probably the missed time.
I've missed time so many times where I tried to do the cough,
and it just clears the day.
I've done that.
I've done that.
Clears what?
Clears the day.
Into a microphone? Talk button. What do I mean? Cough button. No, cough button. The middle ones. Oh, yeah. You could cough. off and it just clears day i've done that i've done that clear as what clears right into a
microphone talk button what do i mean cough cough button the middle ones oh yeah you could cough
you could fart all you want sometimes in some places though every once in a while those those
won't work that's right yeah trust it that won't be you can't really trust it i trust it
all right so oh his favorite pump to have you on here. What's that? His favorite broadcaster, Abington.
Who?
Who?
Reds announcer.
Who?
Oh, yeah.
Marty Brenneman?
Thom Brenneman.
Dude, we don't have as good a view.
I don't think I'm just kidding.
Thom, he didn't think he was muted.
We need to go talk to those Raiders people and say,
Hey, take the backdrop down.
I wonder if we'll be able to pay them.
We'd like to sponsor the absence of these.
Or at least flip them so they're facing the other side there.
Yeah.
Like put them against the DraftKings area.
Right behind Gumby.
If you put them right there.
That would certainly only be self-serving.
Oh, my God.
Great beard.
Great beard.
Great beard on that man right there.
What's up, Goop?
Kyle. That a baby. That a god, great beard. Great beard on that man right there. What's up, Goop? Kyle?
Howdy, baby.
Watch out. Trudeau might take him back, though,
if you get him on camera.
I don't know if we're ever getting to go.
What is happening?
To Gump or to the world?
If this is standard
immigration process,
it's fucked.
This guy has a job that only he is capable of doing.
It's absurd.
Waiting for him.
Public figure pretty well liked by a lot of people.
Uh-huh.
What if he would have caught him?
Can't.
They do not care.
Can't.
There's no way of even getting him to America.
He should have caught a ride on that balloon and fucking skydived.
He should have.
That thing was just taking a tour.
What are we just sightseeing this thing?
They're making announcements.
Indiana, if you look up around 6 p.m.,
you'll see the Chinese spy boy.
It's over the Midwest now.
Like it was a fucking eclipse.
They didn't really do that, did they?
Tell you to look for it.
Tell you when it'll be coming over your state.
They didn't tell you to look for it,
but they're pretty much like 6.30 p.m.
It'll be over Indianapolis at 7.15.
Have they found the wreckage yet?
I know we shot it down.
Where did they shot down it?
They're trying to, Myrtle Beach Ocean.
So that's just COVID, too?
That's in that boat?
Yeah, what's in it?
And what were they doing?
They packed it with COVID and shipped it over here?
Well, I mean, who knows, dude?
Just like the first time.
Who knows?
Impossible COVID.
Because immediately our first conversation last week was, why don't we shoot that?
And it was like, oh, it's 60,000 feet.
It's pretty high.
I don't know what's able to get up there except for Tom Cruise or whatever.
Right.
And that's who did it.
And then once I saw it get shot down, I immediately thought, oh, what have we done?
What is in that?
What is in that balloon?
It could have just been like Jackie Chan inside there, like floating around the earth.
For a movie?
Yeah, for a movie.
Rush Hour.
Rush Hour 4.
4 is coming out.
What is the deal?
What was attached to it?
Was there like a satellite?
Solar panels, you think?
Solar panels?
I assume there were solar panels to keep it going.
It was green.
Isn't that just flexing their concept?
Look what we're doing with the future.
We got solar panels flying our spy balloons over your country for five, six straight days.
I don't know the political world or the military world.
Sure.
But how was that happening?
What happened?
How was that a – that seems like a thing, right?
That feels like that's a thing.
And I assume they're taking pictures, you know,
with an incredibly magnified lens for deepfake technology in the future
for everybody that it's flowed over, you know.
Same as the iPhone.
Something we're going to have to worry about, you know, 10 years from now.
So many dongs in backyards.
Exactly.
Oh, so many.
We were paying attention to that.
They put a bullet in somebody's head.
What is this guy's doing?
I don't know.
I don't know.
You think they were trying to distract us?
Exactly.
Oh, look at the balloons.
I'm just saying, this is David.
Poof.
David Copperfield.
There you go.
There you go.
The car.
Poof.
There you go.
The roof.
Poof.
There you go.
Poof. David Copperfield. They go to poof, poof. They go to poof, poof.
They go to Copperfield.
He played that.
Oh, man.
He was throwing 105 all night.
Just painting the black.
Anyone want to go catch a quick flight and see a Copperfield show tonight?
I would.
Honestly, I don't have to see this guy.
I'll drive.
I'm in.
Do you not want to watch 80 for Brady tonight?
I do.
That too.
Let's do a double feature. Double feature. On the flight. Do you not want to watch 80 for Brady tonight? I do. Let's do a double feature.
Double feature.
On the flight.
Can you imagine?
Listen, we cannot be the ones that are just telling people to go there.
But if you end up there at a show, take it in.
Take in what's happening around you.
66-year-old Copperfield waltzing back and forth.
Great stage presence, right?
So many, like, the flair
and the dramatics from David
Kopp is just... We're talking
full lights on in an arena, in theater.
The Copperfield Theater, by the way.
Obviously. David Copperfield
Theater in MGM Grand.
For the last 40 years.
There's full lights on, and then
one of these poses. What's he wearing?
All the lights drop off. What's he wearing?
He had like a cool button down on him.
Half button, right?
Yeah, half a gray half button.
Yeah, for sure.
With like black dress pants that are kind of loose.
I didn't see any chest hair.
A lot of jokes out of Cobb, though.
Cobb's a lot of jokes.
Oh, it's like a hybrid comedy magic show.
No, it's a life story.
What's that?
A one-man show.
Okay.
Even better.
With some massive.
I learned a lot about his father, who I hope is proud of Copperfield.
Did he walk the alien out or the alien fly out?
Blue 32.
Blue 32 appeared.
No spoilers, okay?
Because people are still going to go watch the show.
Was a T-Rex in a cage or not?
Can't cage a T-Rex, Tony.
It was caged.
It was caged. It was caged.
You can't have it roaming free.
I'm mad on this guy.
You're going to have a T-Rex roaming free?
He owns a private island somewhere, too, I know.
That dude's got cash.
Next to your guy, MC.
Copperfield?
Yeah, I'd say so.
Right off the coast of Florida.
All right, let's cover the news that we haven't talked about today.
The Chargers have some cap gymnastics to do this offseason.
And this always becomes the offseason storyline.
Who has money to do what?
Because it all revolves around cash flow.
Free agents are available.
That's cool if you're a fan of a team that has money to get the free agent.
A new ID or offensive wrinkle that has come into play
and maybe a new position is going to be a
focal point that's cool if you have enough money to be able to add it uh this is the conversation
piece of the offseason pretty much and the chargers are going to have to be able to navigate
a little bit Khalil Mack 18.4 million in savings pre-June first 22.9 million in savings pre-June 1st, 22.9 million in savings post-June 1st in a cut situation.
These contracts, I think, are so date-driven. This is why the Derek Carr situation that is
taking place next Wednesday is such a big deal. A $40 million trigger goes in that he is guaranteed.
So if they cut him by then they only
owe five million dollars in dead cap they are certainly going to do that is what all our sources
are telling us is going to take place but the chargers took a lot of big signings in yeah they
made some big swings wanting to go on a run and what happened this year they're up 27 zip and then
they lose in the wild card round they almost hit but almost doesn't. You got to hit on these years whenever you spend all your money,
and they did not.
Now they got to figure it out.
Now they got to figure out if you got to cut a guy like Cleo Mack, right?
Or you have to ask these players that have high cap numbers to restructure,
and some guys don't want to restructure,
and then that's when you definitely get cut.
Why wouldn't guys want to restructure?
If you don't want to be there.
Like, say you're playing for a team you don't think they're that good,
and they say, hey, we want you to take a pay cut.
I'm like, I don't want to be here to begin with, so let's be somewhere else.
Or, well, I guess that would also be the answer for the extension, six-year extension.
Sure.
If you're potentially thinking about being on the road.
Whenever you said you don't want to be there, that was like a, oh, yeah,
that's why you wouldn't want to sign the 10-year where you can cash over cap that thing
and prorate the signing bonus over the entirety of this contract so the salary cap doesn't get hit as hard.
I guess that would be the reason why, AQ,
is because maybe you just didn't want to be there long term?
Or why would guys not want the signing bonus, you think,
over what the contract is?
That's a great question.
I mean, it's got to be just that, right?
Like they don't want to be there.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm not talking restructure.
You're talking pay cuts.
I'm talking pay cuts, not restructure. Restructure means, hey, we'll give you more money up front. Yeah, I'm talking signing bonus. Oh, right? Like, they don't want to be there. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm talking, I'm not talking restructure. You're talking pay cuts. I'm talking pay cuts, not restructure.
Restructure means, hey, we'll give you more money up front.
Yeah, I'm talking signing bonds.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, yeah.
I'm talking different.
Like, hey, your number's at 18.
We're going to pay you seven this year.
I'm talking that kind of stuff.
Okay, gotcha, gotcha.
But that's, it's like when somebody gets traded off a team that is terrible and they go to
a legit contender, I'm always happy for the person, and I assume they are very happy too because you went from a terrible team
to a great team, but it's not always the case.
Happiness doesn't matter.
Remember, it's just where you can make the most amount of money.
But I'm saying, haven't you seen when people want to feel bad for guys
that get traded?
I'm like, the team he's on now is one in six.
He's going to a contender that has a chance to win it all.
You should be very excited.
Yeah, but on the flip side, he got traded to a –
Those guys, that would be awful. Chase Claypool. I agree. It should be very excited. Flip side, he could trade it to a... Those guys, that would be awful.
I agree, it'd be terrible.
New England to Cleveland,
right? That was always Bill Belichick.
Oh, you don't like it, huh?
Oh, the grass
is greener. One-way
ticket. Cleveland, Ohio.
Good luck. Now, is this the new
Browns with Bronny the Elf on the field?
Well, possibly. But is that what you think it is? Is that why guys wouldn't want to do the new Browns with Bronny the Elf on the field? Well, possibly.
But is that what you think it is?
Is that why guys wouldn't want to do the signing bonus thing with the pro rate over the thing?
Yeah, I mean, I don't think it has anything to do with the money, right?
Because they're getting the same amount of money, and they're getting it up front, which is even better.
The pay cut thing is a huge difference.
And then once you deny the pay cut.
You're getting cut.
Then you're going somewhere else, and typically they say, like, once the team leaks that they told you they wanted a pay cut,
you're only getting that number on the street now, right?
Oh, you have a new value.
You have a new value.
Yeah, some people, speaking of Patriots of Cleveland,
are saying J.C. Jackson in L.A.
This guy might be one of those guys they trade.
This guy is –
I know.
We're coming to the end.
It's hurting.
Now it's tough.
I need vocal rest.
I'm doing what I can.
Think about how happy he is about Jay.
We couldn't hear it through that voice because there's only one speed right now in that particular voice.
Jaycee Jackson going there, that was a big deal.
Huge.
Yeah.
And then I guess it's not paying off.
He got hurt, but he got benched before he got hurt, too.
Yeah, and they were talking about he's coming along, right?
Isn't that how they were talking about it?
Yeah, and I guess he didn't because
he blew his knee out. Which is a shame.
Yeah, that is a shame. It is an absolute shame.
I enjoy, though, the salary
cap gymnastic time of year because I think we
realize and learn who the good
GMs are and who are the shit GMs.
And when is the
Indianapolis Colts head coaching job going to be filled?
You keep asking.
It's not going to happen.
The farther we go, the less candidates you have.
There's only one team that beat the Chiefs
and was up by double digits on the Eagles this year.
And the Vikings.
Thank you.
33-0.
Everybody forgets about that.
Three playoff teams.
That team could have won the Super Bowl this year.
Well, they had the fifth best odds to represent the AFC going into the season.
Obviously, it all unraveled. They fired a coach. Anytime you fire a coach, that means this year. Well, they had the fifth best odds to represent the AFC going into the season. Obviously, it all unraveled. They fired a coach.
Anytime you fire a coach, that
means this year has sucked drastically
for us. Jeff, Saturday came in.
Try to rally, boys. Try to get a little
conbellion there. They weren't able to win. Are you
process-driven or results-driven? That's
the question, A.J. Hawk, as we wrap up
this day one from Radio
Row at Super Bowl
57, Phoenix, Arizona.
My question with that, your question, are you process-driven or results-driven, correct?
Well, yeah, and I don't need you asking the question to the question.
No, I'm trying to figure it out.
How long does that process take?
That would be my first question.
Great process, Jeff.
Is it going to be a nine-year process or is this going to be an 18-month process?
Ten years.
And are there people lobbying for Jeff to be a head coach?
Is Jeff still one?
Jim.
Jim Irsay.
Yeah.
Jim might coach.
What if he coaches?
He needs a big swing.
He needs to take a big swing, get a big splash.
I say go fucking hire Brian Ferencz.
Okay.
Why not?
That's not what I was thinking about.
You know how many Super Bowls that guy won?
He exposed one of them out of Iowa.
Yeah.
No, he used to be the tight ends coach in New England. How do you think Gronk got to be a Hall of Fame? Yeah, about. You know how many Super Bowls that guy won? He won them out of Iowa. Yeah, no, he used to be the tight ends coach in New England.
How do you think Gronk got to be a Hall of Fame?
Yeah, true.
You know, Aaron Hernandez on the field, unbelievable.
Boom.
That's Brian Ferentz's handiwork.
You're right.
Take a big swing, Jim.
Bring him in.
Valid point, Ty.
Could you imagine?
Yeah.
130th ranked offense in college football.
Yep.
131 teams being ranked.
Iowa Hawkeyes offensive football. Number one scoring defense in college football. 131 teams being ranked. Iowa Hawkeyes
offensive football. Number one
scoring defense in the nation.
What's that? Matt Canada could be the
OC. Match made in heaven.
It does feel like there's a lot of coaches
that teams that have the coaches hate them.
So I don't mind the fact that Jim Irsay
is being thorough because he doesn't need to miss
on yet another head coaching operation
and another program as a whole.
But tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, people are getting hired every other day.
People are getting moved to other places.
Like Sean Payton in Denver, we haven't heard much out of there.
Do we just assume that that's going to work?
AQ, I'm going to ask you this question.
Because whenever this was broached last week, I felt like there was a good conversation
about Sean Payton is going to fix the Denver
Broncos.
Sean Payton's going to fix Russell Wilson because whenever he took over the New Orleans
Saints, they were not what we see them now.
They're a lot more similar to the Aints of New Orleans.
He made them into a prestigious program.
He's going to do the same thing for the Broncos yet again, who have been in dying need for
that.
Hey Q, do you believe it's as easy as that, bringing Sean Payton in and now you're all of a sudden going to do the same thing for the Broncos yet again who have been in dying need for that. Hey, Q, do you believe it's as easy as that, bringing Sean Payton in,
and now you're all of a sudden going to win?
No, I think it's very much the fact that you need players.
I don't care how good you are as a coach.
If you don't have players, you cannot win games,
and their offense needs a lot of work.
Defensively, great.
They're great.
So Tane's a dog.
They are great.
You see him at the Pro Bowl.
He's playing in Pro Bowl games.
Yeah.
But I think their O-line needs work.
I mean, obviously, Russ needs fixed, which he's fixable, right?
We've said that.
Sure.
Absolutely.
He's fixable.
And we thought it was ayahuasca.
Is he?
It wasn't.
We don't know.
That's what the GM said.
He said he's fixable.
Yeah, you're right.
Actually, they wouldn't have paid all that money to bring Sean Payton in if they didn't
think Russ was fixable.
Well, they have to think that.
I know.
They don't have any, like. They don't have any other options. They're fucked.
There's no way to move on from him, right? Yeah, he's an anchor.
Team 3's gonna figure it out. They'll figure it out.
He will. I think he will. I really do. They'll figure it out.
Team 3 maybe makes an appearance here this week.
I would assume so. I wonder if
they show up first, check the room like Secret Service
does, and then Russ comes in afterwards.
Like a week before him. They probably sweep the whole building.
He's got to be talking danger witches, right, for Subway?
I would hope so.
I thought they got rid of him because he was getting killed.
No.
No.
Well, he's still got the perfect man brand.
Good man.
Good man.
Good man brand.
What do they do?
They do good stuff.
Good clothes.
All right, let's get the hell out of here, boys.
Golik Jr. just has taken a stage over here.
Holy shit.
Golik Jr.
Absolute fucking legend. He is, boys. Golic Jr. just has taken a stage over here. Oh, shit. Baby Golic Jr. Absolute fucking legend.
He is, isn't he?
Yeah.
I feel like we've seen him since he was a teenager almost.
Yeah.
Grow up.
Moving bodies in entertainment.
We have breaking news out of the Russell Wilson saga with the Denver Broncos.
Sean Payton has said that Team 3 will not be in the building.
That's foreign to me.
That's not going to take place here.
I'm not familiar with it, but our staff will be here,
our players will be here, and that'll be it.
When Sean Payton was asked about Russell Wilson's performance team
having access to the facility last year,
this being reported by Parker J. Gabriel.
Mr. Parker J Jared Gabriel reporting that.
We can't thank him enough for his reporting.
But it's like from here on until forever.
Team 9 wasn't in the Saints facility?
That's what I was going to say.
Drew had to have a team there, right?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
CEO of Smoothie King was probably in there.
No, I assume they were sponsors and partners,
and maybe they did bring in smoothies and every other brand that Jimmy Johns
and everything else that Drew Brees was businessly connected with.
But I don't know if I heard about a team in there.
I would like to say Indianapolis did not have people in the building
that were from outside.
So I think that's why the conversation became about Team 3 having an office
in there and Team 3 being in the building because only certain people
command it, demand it.
Tom Brady, obviously, was one of them.
He's the greatest of all time.
That became an issue, though, too.
Belichick eventually kicked him out, right?
Guerrero.
Yeah.
That was a big problem.
They very much embraced it in Tampa.
Oh, no shit.
Tampa fucking sucks.
They want a Super Bowl.
Of course.
They want a Super Bowl.
Of course they embraced it.
They want a Super Bowl.
You guys embraced it, too, whenever you win Super Bowls.
Absolutely. Have you seen that anywhere else, though, A it, too, whenever you win Super Bowls. Absolutely.
Have you seen that anywhere else, though, AQ?
Any other team you went to?
I've never.
Green Bay's a real, like, I don't think it would ever happen.
I've never seen other people that work outside of that franchise come in
and be there for any consistent basis, ever.
Me neither.
No.
But Super Bowl week, Dwight Freeney had that rolled ankle sprained ankle
the geese
but was that in the facility or was that in the hotel?
yeah that's normal
in team area though
so like a thing
but that is just like a
very very extreme
situation but
I've never been on a team with Tom Brady where it was taking place
with Tom and I also heard that Tom's people
were taking care of other people on the team.
They were, yeah.
So it was almost an additive to the medical staff.
Like, hey, you got your trainers, you got physical therapists, you got your doctors.
Now you got, like, your sports sciences almost people in here as well.
I thought that's kind of how it was being positioned.
I wonder if that's what Team 3 was also doing with the Broncos.
Were they helping other people or were they just kind of isolated and confined?
And if Sean Payton doesn't like it, I assume that Russell and the team
are just going to have to deal with me.
I wouldn't either.
As a head coach, because you're dealing with these guys where all of a sudden
you're trying to see if a guy can play in a game this week.
Is that Mad Dog yelling or something?
He just did his good.
I didn't do it, everybody!
But I don't know.
Think about if you're trying to see if someone's going to be able to play this week
when the team doctor knows, like, hey, this guy.
Yeah, he's on pace.
He's going to go.
We've looked at all the scans and everything.
But then all of a sudden your team of people that you hired outside are saying, no, he can't go.
And then they're butting heads with the team.
That'd be awful.
Yeah.
And that's that team is employed by the person that has to make the decision.
Exactly.
That'd be fascinating.
That'd be very fascinating.
Dynamic.
That Sean Payton said, we ain't doing it around here.
Smart. Sean Payton said, take your team
three and shove it.
Speaking of team three,
we were all on team three, weren't we?
Yeah, sure. When
Tamar Hamlin?
Yes. Yeah.
Hell yeah.
That whole, you know, the NFL being rigged Yeah
Conversation
Michael B. Jordan playing him at the AFC wildcard game
Oh
I wasn't even going to dive into that
That's what people were saying
Oh, so you just said, hey, let's get it out there
Yeah, exactly
There was internet reports on it
I was just going to say, well, certainly the internet's doing its thing
But for the NFL being rigged thing Everybody on the internet saw that thing coming from a mile away
because there had been little seeds already set in the internet in different communities.
The fantasy football community, sports gambling community, the NFL superfan community, the fun community.
All the different internets that you get to see on a daily basis all had little seeds sprouting in there.
So we found it like, hey, this is going to be be this seems to be on the way that's the thing this whole uh
this thing is hilarious yeah what is happening i'm getting text messages from people from other
worlds that are like tell me about just think of damar hamlin i'm like damar Hamlin. I'm like, Damar Hamlin. Yeah, it was incredibly
shocking out of nowhere, Monday Night Football.
It normally happens
in hockey lacrosse. You had to have heard, obviously,
he's on national news.
He went to a hospital, pronounced dead. The whole thing
came back. He was back in the facility.
We thought he was maybe going to come out on ATV.
With a flag behind him.
We thought, this is what I'm telling
them when they're like,
tell me about DeMar Hamlin.
I was like, he made it back to the game.
And he goes, did you see his face?
And I'm like, actually, the funny thing about that is,
he was really being rushed in there, rushed out of there, rushed up, rushed down.
It was snowing really heavy.
It was a little bit blurry.
The whole thing.
See, I didn't see his face.
Huh.
Isn't that fascinating to you?
I'm like, it's fucking freezing cold.
Maybe he didn't want to be seen by anybody.
We were talking to Von Miller live on the show.
And Von Miller goes, there you go, right there.
We didn't see him.
No.
But we did the whole thing.
But yeah, we saw him.
And then he did a video with the Buffalo Bills, obviously.
It was a long video.
Was it unedited?
Is what the people say.
No, I think they clipped it up a little bit.
Oh, that's interesting.
That's on the internet right
now and it is gaining steam.
It is gaining steam. I just want to
let the world know. I mean, it was brought
up to Josh Allen and obviously a lot
of people have heard about this.
That is gaining steam on the internet. I think
I just want to be the person that just relays the message that that is something that some people should think about
and probably try to just get out what are we talking about here what are we doing what are
we talking about here isn't this guy gone through enough bingo yeah so what are you saying why are
you always what are you saying what's that i don't ever i've never questioned any of it because i
you know how you were saying down? You can't keep anybody quiet.
You can't get anyone to keep a secret.
So you're telling me you've got all these people keeping a secret.
The entire Buffalo Bills roster.
Get out of here with that.
Buffalo Beals?
The Buffalo Beals.
The Beals would not do that.
They were in the building.
So every player, unless they sit – well, see, there's an answer to that.
Did they guarantee them a Super Bowl next year?
Because if that's the case, then maybe.
Then it's really scripted.
Yeah, long term.
You know, nobody ends up selling a Super Bowl ring.
I'm sure they wouldn't give up information like that.
Think about humans just over time, what they have just said about things and stuff in the past
that you would never assume people would just admit to or say.
Like the amount of people that have to buy in for a lot of these things to take place.
We're giving so much faith to humans. we're giving so much faith to humans.
Yep.
We're giving so much faith to humans.
For sure.
And I guess I'm normally a little positive guy.
Consider me negative.
Humans will fuck this up.
Oh, yeah.
So quickly.
Watch Goodfellas one time.
Lufthansa heist.
You know, biggest heist in the history of the U.S. at the time.
And what happens?
Everyone starts fucking showing up dead because they either can't keep their mouth shut,
they're spending money, okay?
I mean, it always is going to happen.
Fucking JFK, nobody keep their mouth shut there.
There you go.
Marilyn Monroe was the one who couldn't keep their mouth shut.
I mean, there was always a leak.
Zito has some breaking news here, I believe, being reported.
Something about Indiana Senate
passes bill to legalize throwing
source. Alright, we're not there to celebrate.
We are not in Indiana
to celebrate. We are in Arizona,
but hell yeah. I've been
talking about this since the day I got
into Indiana. We fucking did it. I was
drafted, 2009 draft, picked 222.
Just a few before A.Q.
Shipley was drafted to the hometown Pittsburgh Steelers,
I do believe.
And whenever I found out I was going to Indiana,
I knew they didn't have happy hour because that was banned a few years back
because there was too much boozing and driving.
I knew you weren't able to buy beer on Sunday because Sunday's a day for the Lord.
If you need to buy beer, you're going to have to go to one of those bars
that are open and only get a six-pack to get out of here on a Sunday.
That has changed since then.
And one of the laws I've been saying, this is fucking archaic.
This is a bad decision.
You just were not able to single, not throw a single throwing star.
Bullshit.
Ever.
Come on.
Allowed to walk around with them.
Correct.
In your house. Show them. Nobody else around. Throwing to walk around with them. Correct. In your house, nobody
else around, throwing stars,
we're not allowed to take flight
at all. So you had to wonder, is this
thing really like a boomerang in Australia?
Sure. Can I really pinpoint?
Can't even throw it at a dartboard
at the house. Nope. Had to fucking
just hold it, stare at it, and think what
could be. And on this day,
overreaction Monday, February 6th,
Indiana Senate says, let those shooting stars fly.
Fucking watch those things hook right around your fucking living room.
Do what you got to do with your shooting stars, throwing stars.
Congratulations.
Hell yeah.
The housing market is going to explode.
Do you know how many ninjas are going to be moving into the area?
Dude, and think about what we already have with PopCon and GenCon.
Exactly.
Oh, my God.
Real estate through the roof in Indiana.
Welcome back, Indiana.
COVID had them for a little bit.
Yeah, it did.
Now we got throwing stars, AJ.
I never knew they were illegal.
Especially that sweet.
You're telling me, though. You used to be able to have them, hold on to them, just not use them.
Kind of how fireworks actually, I think, used to be in Ohio.
You could have them, but you can't light them off.
Okay, I like that.
So throwing stars were the same as the hammer.
Now we can just throw them at people and kill them, and it's legal.
No, no, no, you cannot throw them.
They legalize murder.
What is your problem?
Why are you so Ohio all the time?
Because that's the only thing throwing stars are for is to kill people.
No, insects.
Whenever you got a mosquito flying around, take that.
I don't kill insects.
No, I don't kill insects.
What about a bee?
You gotta let them live.
I'm like a Buddha.
Do you ever cut an apple with a throwing star?
Yo.
I will now in Indiana.
When I'm in Indiana.
Well, if my neighbor, though, is outside and he's being way too loud, I might fucking buzz
the tower.
You know, throw one right by his head.
Hey, turn that fucking shit down.
The next one's going through your throat.
I don't think you should do that.
I just want to let you know, I don't think that would be a threat.
Or like he's mowing the grass at 7.30 a.m.
You fucking put one right in the gas tank.
Yeah, there you go.
And then the mower explodes.
We can throw it at the spy balloon.
We'll throw one under your head.
Oh, yes.
That is why.
That's how we did it.
It was when it was going over Indiana.
Could you imagine the pitch?
That's why we did it. If only we. It was when it was going over Indiana. Could you imagine that?
If only we were able to you know
60,000 feet and all I do that you know I do remember no throne
You go top of Salesforce Tower you get there
And you imagine person that got arrested for fucking throwing stars at some point
He's actually sitting in the back room.
His name is Bill McCormick.
What are we talking about? Wait till I tell you what he told me this morning.
It'll be an off-air conversation, but remind me later.
What do you mean?
He told you where they're buried?
Why?
You should have Zito trying to explain this breaking news in my ear while we were talking earlier.
Very excited.
Breaking news, throwing stars.
How many people have died by throwing stars?
Millions.
Yeah.
Well, the numbers are about to go up, and it's going to make vigilantism easier.
Yeah, Batman's so back.
The criminals already had throwing stars.
They don't care if it's legal or not.
Correct.
Now the good people are able to go fire for fire.
You know, don't bring a gun to a knife fight.
Could you imagine what these motherfuckers from Indiana have been showing up to with
without having thrown stars?
Man.
Think about it.
I care.
Brass knuckles.
They're showing up with brass knuckles.
What are you going to do?
These people are from the other side of the room.
See ya.
Boom.
Right in the neck.
Where's your throat?
Gosh, that would hurt bad.
Dude, they spent time voting on that.
Like, let's think about that.
What the fuck is going on in local politics? So is the House going to come shut it down since the Senate passed it? I assume they're on that. Like, let's think about that. What the fuck is going on in local politics?
So is the House going to come shut it down since the Senate
passed it? I assume they're on board.
No one's shutting this down.
Hogsett, right? Your mayor? What's your mayor's name?
My mayor, Hogsett. He's actually one of the
most skilled Throesmen in the
whole world. Throesman? Yeah.
Congrats, Hogsett.
That's why it passed, because he was like, I'm sick and fucking
tired of living in my home state
Alright let's start
Stop wasting everybody's time
Let's get off here
We'll be back tomorrow
Live guests will be live
From
Our stage
Hell yeah
I think I used live
Way too many times there
This should be good
I'm excited for the week that is
This is a good spot
I feel like the driving range
That's happening right here
Certainly fascinating
Yeah
Certainly a fascinating thing Excited to hear how that pans out Yep It is. It's a good spot. I feel like the driving range that's happening right here is certainly fascinating. Yeah.
Certainly a fascinating thing.
Excited to hear how that pans out.
Yep.
We didn't get to see the Mad Dog intro like we did last year, which I am very bummed about.
Heard it.
I don't know how we're going to be able to get through a year without that, but we will find a way.
We'll also be chatting to these folks, right?
The Raiders folks?
Yeah. Yeah.
We'll be chatting to them.
Just seeing if we can make a little magic.
Yeah. If you're not live, is there seeing if we can make a little magic. Yeah.
If you're not live, is there any way we can...
Buy an ice cold beer.
All right.
Move these fucking things to the side.
Please.
They're good people, though.
Look at their setup.
That's a very professional setup.
Of course.
I can't wait to see who we meet this week, who we chat with.
We're going to the waste management thing on Wednesday, I believe.
Hell yeah.
A shot at glory.
AJ, you ready for that?
It's going to be awesome.
And obviously, people are going to be stopping by.
We can't thank you enough for allowing us to live a life in which we can do this.
AQ Shipley, great work today, pal.
Hey, baby, AQ.
In your hometown.
Hopefully we'll see a little bit more of you.
We've got a chipping thing in our backyard.
Let's go.
Come by.
I'm there.
Have a little music.
Bring your clubs so we can use your nice clubs.
We can do that.
Do you smoke Stuggies?
I don't, but I can.
You smoke Reefer?
I drink bourbon.
Why?
Well.
I want bourbon.
Why?
I want scotch.
Why?
I want beer.
Why?
First thing he.
You bringing some over or no?
Let's do it.
He drizzled first thing last night.
Some bourbon?
What you get?
Anything good?
Yeah, some Gentleman Jack.
Nice.
I like that.
Very smooth.
What was it?
Last year you had finished four of them by about 130 local?
No, that was when we were at the national championship I had about.
Also at Super Bowl last year.
Yeah, I believe so.
Yeah, yeah.
So, yeah.
We hung out at the Super Bowl a little bit.
Remember Coach JB?
You had one of his slapdick cigars with me.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
I do remember that.
He had a slapdick whiskey.
Boom.
Went in Rome, you know.
You got to do what you got to do.
That's right.
All right.
Big shout out to everybody in the back for the great work.
There they are.
We'll be back tomorrow with some more BS.
Hammer down.
We'll be live on this stage in about five minutes, I believe.
Shout out to Tone, Gumpy, and the boys over there.
We'll be back with Aaron Rodgers Tuesday.
Be a friend.
Tell a friend.
Goodbye.
