people welcome to our humble abode the thunderdome on this feel good friday march 10th 2023 this program starts now feel good friday is what we are a part of now it's not going to feel good for some guys who are potentially going to be a part of the salary cap gymnastics and manipulation of contracts that are already started this morning which which every NFL team has to be underneath the designated salary cap of $224 million by Wednesday at 4 p.m. You're already seeing different contracts be reworked. You're seeing salaries turned into signing bonuses. Congrats to Tyreek Hill.

He got like $24.85 million today. Wow. His salary got converted pretty much into a signing bonus, and he walks away with $24.8 million. Hey, Tyreek, would you like to get $24 million today so our salary cap has a much smaller hit so we can open up a little bit of space maybe for Jordan Boyer? No.

Maybe for anybody else. And Tyreek said, I'm getting $24 million a day. Yeah. Sounds good. I don't have to do anything else. Just play one year. You do that. That's happening all around the NFL.

Tone Diggs will have a full breakdown of that. This weekend, you're going to have a lot of eyes on a lot of vets becoming cap casualties. It's already happened in Minnesota. Our guy, Adam Thielen, has been officially released from the Minnesota Vikings. Allegedly, his contract was like $19-something million. They asked him to kind of rework that, renegotiate that.

At the age of 32, he said, no, thank you. I'd rather just become a free agent, seemingly. He wants to go to a contender. He'll probably end up at the Chiefs. Yeah, most likely. He'll probably end up at the Chiefs somehow. We will all be fucking flustered by it. Or maybe if there's a guy that we know pretty well that doesn't decide to retire

and decides to go to another team, maybe the New York Football Jets. Okay. Big apple. Adam Thielen here, very tight. Maybe he follows Aaron Rodgers. Maybe he goes and tries to find another quarterback that he loves. Thielen, a 32-year-old wide receiver who certainly has plays left in him to make a team great, is now available for every team.

That is what's going to take place over the next few days. We need to remember that we are in that time of year, but we also need to try to remember to enjoy it all. That's right. Okay, Adam Thielen got cut. He's from Minnesota. He had to pay to get into a workout to even get seen by scouts to potentially become a

Minnesota Viking. His entire path to becoming an NFL All-Pro is one that you don't see often, especially for the hometown guy. Come on. Never happens. And here we are on a feel-good Friday. It just gets fucking cut.

It's not right. Let's look for a silver lining. He's going to end up somewhere. He's going to be contender. He's still got good football. Good luck, guys. So everybody that we see that this happens to over the weekend and over the next few days, let's remember there's a silver lining.

There always is. And I'm sure all these guys will find it. Speaking of guys that find silver linings, how about this group of dudes? The Talks of the Day was here at Boston Corner at Ty Schmidt. One half of the hammer. Down! Cowboy. I don't even want to talk about the experience in the barn with the fucking hammer down cowboy.

It was your right. Your right time right now, too. Tone Diggs is here, obviously. Tone, what's the look, Tone? You know. You know, Tony. You know. You did.

You know what you did. You did. Listen, yesterday during the day was an absolute bloodbath. It was. In college basketball. Sure. Yeah, and everybody had a good time with it. We were a little hesitant to be willy-nilly with your money today.

Okay, so right before we go live, and March Madness has already happened. We're started. We're in. We're in. We're in. We're in. It's election Sunday. Coming up.

Hey, good for us. We're in it right now. That's right. All right, let's enjoy it. I watched Villanova Creighton last night. We're started. We're in the thick of it. Good for us. We're in it right now. Let's enjoy it. I watched Villanova Creighton last night. Good ball game. Got a live bet of Villanova plus 9.5. I'm like, don't they win all the time? They lost by like 13 or so. Woke up this morning.

He was a dog. Yeah, he was an absolute dog. I woke up this morning minus a pretty significant amount of money. I'm like, Villanova's going to do their thing. I forgot this is what March Madness is. I look at teams i know nothing about playing a sport that i know less about and i go that's the winner right there so today i wanted to learn from all my previous faults i said all right we got a gambling podcast that comes out of this fucking office every single day they've been doing well for like 19 months. Since inception. And I very rarely, I feel like you guys would agree, as pseudo boss of this place,

I very rarely put the hammer down cowboys in a spot where I'm like, give me a fucking, right? Oh, yeah. Never. I let them do it. Hey, you guys do whatever you got to do. That's right. Whatever makes you win. If you guys like something, please tell us. If not, we'll just kind of follow along with the show.

I never say like. Need something now. Yeah, never. Come on. On this Feel Good Friday, I said, you know what? I want to experience March Madness a little bit. Yeah. Got games on during the show.

Give me your best bet during the show. I'm going max, max, max unit bet on it. I'm doing it. All of a sudden. Heating and hauling from this cowboy. Then you got Bruce over there. Admit, they are disagreeing on everything. The one says one, they disagree.

We call Canada. We're like, hey, go. I have to. Fucking need a bet today, pal. You're a college basketball. Oh, I don't like any of these. I like Kansas. I like Kansas.

I like Texas. 10 p.m. Okay, there's not door on the show. We need door on the show. This is the first time I've ever said, hey, boys, this is what we need. What the hell? We got something, didn't we? We ended up with something, but I want to let you know,

did not love the process in which we had to get there. Not at all. Tony Diggs, are you guys worried going into college basketball? You guys don't know what the fuck you're talking about? I don't like to be packed into a corner. I don't like to be put in a box. You were kind of bullied. Joining us now from Canada, a man who's a college basketball expert.

A guy who finally gave us an answer, didn't he? Yeah, he did. It only took him like three minutes. The first, and then he was giving us games like, oh, I really like a game that isn't in the time zone that we said. Oh, I really like tomorrow's. Boom. It's like, door to show.

Ladies and gentlemen, Bubba Gumpino. Yeah, Gump! Gump, what's this all about? First time, I need something from you guys. You're disagreeing. There's a lot of... A lot of that. What's the deal?

Is this how it is every single day? What's going on, Gump? No, no. Tough day yesterday. Tough lines today. But I think we put together a nice one there with Purdue and Michigan State, my friend. Purdue and Michigan State money line. Now, if you just look at the spread and everything like that,

people say that's pretty easy to pick. It ended up being minus 103. Almost even money. Not too shabby there. Ohio State has played three straight games. Today will be their third game in three days, yeah. So that's a thing. What are we looking for?

Because you are a great college basketball handicapper. I think we all know you're a good gambler as a whole but college basketball what in us putting you and forcing you to pick a certain games not good gambling strategy like picking the right things to bet on is obviously what were they in tones like yes it's on off camera here's like yeah that's the whole purpose of gambling yeah so we forced you to into it though but when you're talking about gambling here on March Madness and basketball, what should we be looking at? Because I lose all of my NFL money in March Madness every year like clockwork.

What are you looking for, Gump? What do you look at? It's ugly out there right now. The one thing I will say, if there's a game you like and it's minus 2.5, minus 3, if you can get in money line minus 135 minus 140 just lay the fucking juice got it because it is chaos right now we're sweating it enough you don't need to sweat over a point just pick the team to win and normally it's hold on though you'll hear like um hardos i guess sure, you're betting minus 135, minus 140.

It's like, do you need a fucking last-minute one just to fuck you? It happens a lot. Let's win a bet. That's what you're saying here, Gump, because everything is, hey, it's not chaos. It's Marksman. What is John? We'll sleep in May.

We'll sleep in May. Anarchy. It's not anarchy. It's college basketball. That's it. sleep in May. It's not anarchy. It's college basketball. That's it. Oh, Rothstein. That's real though.

Like right now, anything could kind of happen. We need to just look at that. If we like a game and it's a two, maybe three point spread, let's not be scared to just go with the money line instead and kind of do our thing is what you're saying. Yeah.

Because the big 10 tournament, every, every higher seed has won. Like the worst team has won every game so far. That changes this morning, obviously. Have they been good games? Oh, yeah. They've all been bangers.

I mean, Penn State beat Illinois. Ohio State had no business beating Iowa yesterday. Michigan forgot how to play basketball. Oh, no. Yesterday was that one. Oh, no. Iowa, Iowa. yesterday michigan forgot how to play back yesterday was that what oh no iowa iowa this might be good for iowa though because they always win the big 10 tournament then die early in the march madness okay yeah iowa is somebody that lets down ty every year and we have to deal with ty

going oh good okay all right then oh don't worry about football season coming up what do i gotta look forward to gator ball okay no touchdowns No touchdowns. Maybe the Gator Bowl. Gator Bowl would be awesome. I'd kill to fucking go to a Gator Bowl. You got a Michigan quarterback in there now. Yeah, I know. Another year with the offensive coordinator who led to 130th. Brian Behrens, he's a dog.

Hell yeah. Yeah, see, none of us... He needs to be taken out back and shot in the head. He's a dog. He's an old dog. Nobody's taking dogs in the back and shoot them anymore. It's 2023, but I understand what you're saying there. Gumpy, we

appreciate you making a decision for us. We assume it'll lose. No, I don't think so. I like this one. Okay. I fucking hope so, Gumpy. Well, we miss you, bud. We love you, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, let's get to football news real quick. Tyreek Hill restructuring.

He gets $24 million signing bonus to open up the contract. You're obviously a big Dolphins fan. What does this mean, pal? What's going on down in Miami? Is this for Lamar Jackson? Is this for Aaron Rodgers? What do you think is going on down in Miami, Gump? You can lock Poyer into Miami, I think.

I think that's done. Okay, because he's been kind of openly campaigning for it as well, right? Okay, and then Rosenhaus is the agent who has pretty much every dolphin, right? I think. Also, Darius Slay's agent.

We just caught Byron Jones. Big Play Slay could be in Miami, too. Oh, so you're piecing some things together here. You're saying maybe big play Slay and Jordan Poyer coming down to the Miami Dolphins to sure up a secondary. How was the secondary? Pretty good? It was decent last year, but they got cooked because of their D.C.

because they did fucking zero blitz all the time. So you, Vic Fangio, now you got Chubb and Phillips up front. Things are looking up for miami and then everyone thinks they're in play for derrick henry i think they just bring back mostart and wilson again i think they're running back with those two and then mcglynn chief is not resigning with the niners o-line maybe stack that up with another x-niner with mcdaniel all right we love that, good luck to you. It sounds like the Dolphins are in a pretty good spot.

Is Tua going to survive? Yeah? He'll be good. He's doing judo classes, dude. He's fine. Oh, he had to learn how to land, right? Yeah, it's perfect. He should be going to some wrestling school as well.

Yeah, send him down there. So you get him a little flat back so you learn how to fall in this entire thing? I saw someone else post this morning. He was doing judo. They look great. Who's that? Hoorah, Tony. Hoorah post this morning who's doing judo. They look great. Who's that? Hoorah, Tony. Hoorah.

Giselle was doing judo? Mm-hmm. Isn't she rolling around doing judo in Brazil? I believe so. Jiu-jitsu. Yeah, it's jiu-jitsu. We appreciate you, ladies and gentlemen. Gumpy.

Can't wait to see you, Paul. Hey, baby, Paul. She's doing live. Yeah, see you hammer Don a little bit. Why doesn't Roman Reigns get his hands on Tua? They're both oozes. He knows what we do. Roman knows how to fucking take it.

Roman ain't taking a lot of bumps. No. True, get him with the B-line. Roman could if he had to. I've seen him deliver and also take 18 spears in a fucking match, and he took them all. He'll just let anybody into the bloodline either. You got to earn a seat at that table.

And I'll tell you what. That is a group of absolute dogs. I mean, I've gotten a chance to kind of obviously watch them, meet them. Maybe one of the coolest crews that I've ever encountered, just of people. Obviously, Sammy Zane fell victim to how tight of a crew. I still haven't gotten over that. Really? Yeah. It? Yeah.

It was terrible. All Sammy did, after all Sammy did to fucking earn the trust of his tribal chief, and that's the way it ends? Did he stand for his tribal chief? You're just staying for his tribal chief. Yeah, but then when push came to shove, you know, tribal chief needed it. You know, he kind of, but there was a question on whether or not Jay Uso was going to go with Sammy.

And I was watching along. I'm like, the Usos are, this is a thick road. There's no like Sammy, a good guy, funny guy. We love Sammy. Enjoy Sammy. But also when push comes to shove, Jay, Jimmy, Roman all grew up on the same street together. Ooses stick together. Okay, what are we even talking about?

How many Ooses have red hair? Answer, none. You couldn't go with Sammy Zane. Well, that would be just very prejudiced, but I think family is certainly a massive part of it. But I do like the fact that Tua is trying to do something to learn how to fall. I think that is good news.

And also, remember, Tua is trying to do something to learn how to fall. I think that is good news. And also remember, the NFL is trying to institute those new helmets that are position-driven. So there's a chance that he's got the fucking big ol' spaceship on the back. Like a pillow just pops out. He goes down. As soon as his shoulder blades touch, boom! Four seasons pillow. Bang. They actually have those.

Tone, can you tell us what's going on around the NFL with the restructuring of contracts? Who's maybe has been cut? And if there's anybody that's maybe sitting on deck to get released from it. So before that, 1130 tonight, Utah Valley. You want to fucking put me on the spot? Okay, that's my last question.

Now people know exactly what we were just dealing with. This is what we dealt with for 10 to 15 minutes before I finally said, fucking call Gumpy. And then we called Gumpy, and Gumpy's like, blah, a full on. And I appreciate the fact that you guys care about your records so much. And a big part of Hammerdown is like picking the best bet. So they scour through the book, and they find their best bet.

So that's a big part of gambling. You can't just bet on every fucking game, which we learned from them. But on this Feel Good Friday, let's fucking pick something. No, you didn't. You were zero part of the whole thing. You were zero part of the whole thing. And also, whenever we made the bet, you went

I'm going to say 1130 at night, Utah Valley. Don't ask questions. Okay, Utah Valley. Good luck. Today, though. Let's get back to the NFL. We are in the middle of Massacre Week because the NFL teams need to get to under $224 million. That is the designated salary cap for next year. This is when you see a lot of vets who have big price tags either get reworked or relocated.

Cut. See you later. Very popular. Surprising names have been cut during Massacre Week in the past. Very popular veteran names have been cut from the past. This year, Adam Thielen was this morning. He was the first, we assume, of a few that's going to take place. What else is going on in that particular salary cap gymnastics world?

Obviously, Thielen got cut. You talked about Tyreek Hill. What was that, 24 million, I believe? 24.835. Okay. Dol was that, $24 million, I believe? $24.835. Okay. Dolphins didn't stop there. Teron Armstead redid his for $11.8 million this morning.

Bradley Chubb did his last evening for $15 million. Do the math. Was it almost $50 million they cleared in capping in the last 12 hours? There has to be a reason, right? There's got to be a reason for that. Thielen was cut. Obviously, we heard from Lombo yesterday who could potentially be Darius Slay. He could be traded with that.

The news broke this morning. They didn't put the tag on CJGJ, so that's something there. Jake Elliott had to redo his. He got some money up front. Showed up Eagles kicker. He saved like $2.4 million or something like that. Eagles are doing things there. Ben Jones, the center for the Titans, also got a dog. Caught this morning, who is a dog.

That just goes on with the trend of Titans. The Titans. They got a brand new GM. They're tearing everything down. Full reset for the Titans. Other guys you could look at potentially, potentially it would be cap casualties. James Winston hasn't been cut yet, obviously.

I don't know if they're going to keep him with Derek Carr. He's got $12.8 million there they could save there. Zeke's potentially going to be one of those guys. Joe Mixon's still on the bank. He could be one of those guys. We would like to say for Joe Mixon, the incident that happened at his house a couple days ago that involved a shooting,

they've done their investigation. There's a couple suspects. Two of them. Joe Mixon is neither of them. Right. So that's a, hey, can't have this happen in your fucking house, obviously. But also, like, what was being said about Joe, what was worried about Joe, Joe, I think, was just happened to be a guy who let some people in his house that were related to him. Yeah.

What a terrible fucking brother, potentially. And then a bad situation. We're all very that joe mixon did not shoot a gun at a turns out to be a teenager kid as a man who's trying to rework a contract with the cincinnati bangles and obviously joe mixon is fucked up in the past so if he was to do this he would be getting like he was getting nobody on his side. Everybody's like, you fucking idiot. You got an opportunity when everybody thought you shouldn't get an opportunity, and this is what you do with it? Turns out, he

was not involved. So that is great news from an NFL front and for a Joe Mixon front. The Jets have obviously been making moves. Corey Davis, they might cut him and save $10 million, and there's obviously some feeling just hit the market. Odell is doing a workout today, so Corey Davis

is one of those guys. A couple Colts that I saw on the potential. Ryan Kelly, I believe they can save $10 million if he was potentially... They could save $20 million if DeForest potentially might be on the cutting block there. A couple Colts there. Khalil Mack, I saw Keenan

Allen. They reworked Keenan Allen so that they freed up some there, but Khalil Mack's name is still out there, potentially for a Chargers cut. There's going to be a lot going on here. These are big names, though. Huge. Ben Jones gets cut from the Titans, and we obviously all learned about him last football season

because Vrabel was crying because this guy was fighting through 14 injuries, had never missed a game since high school or something like, like the consummate pro, consummate tough guy. He gets released, and we're being told from our offensive line source, in the trenches source, that's a big fucking deal for the Titans that they're losing. Now, you can always find somebody that maybe is great, but if you're trying to find center, running heavy team, run heavy team, if you find a center and he's good, will not be a conversation.

They find somebody that takes a while to pick up, will be a massive conversation. Our source says, tell us that that's not going to be an easy thing to just replace Ben Jones. But he had a contract. He's from the previous regime, new regime, trying to do their thing. This is what the story of the week is almost around the NFL.

I saw if the Vikings are looking to cut more, maybe potential perennial All-Pro, Pro Bowl Harrison Smith at safety would save $15 million. New D.C. there. There's a lot of big names out there. I don't know if it's actually true or been corroborated, but kind of the same deal with Dalvin Cook.

Some team has offered to trade for him because they would save, I think, yeah, like $9 or $10 million if he were to not be on the team next year as well. Yeah, and that's who it feels like Miami's not talking about is Dalvin Cook. From down there, he is a Florida guy. And also, you know, he's great, but we're talking about Dalvin Cook. Like, he is a game changer. Dalvin Cook, still a dog. Yeah. yeah still an absolute dog and all these things are possible if you listen to michael lombardi yesterday who said everything that everybody's saying this

morning yeah lombardi was on yesterday and he is saying literally everything just because he's been in the gm position and he happens to know fucking everybody so So whenever he says something like, Darius Slay is available right now for conversation. If you want to go get Darius Slay, you can go get Darius Slay right now. He is definitely being shopped. And then Eagles blogs are like, that has not been confirmed. They're like tweeting to us. And then this morning, Diana Rossini is like,

per sources, the Philadelphia Eagles have given Drew Rosenhaus the leeway and the freedom to go seek a trade for Darius Slay. It's like right now, I think the way GMs view it is like anybody that has a big price tag, they are potentially available. Matthew Stafford. Now, Les Snead said we're going to rely on Matthew Stafford. He's one of the pillars for us. But listen to the way he worded it.

Lambeau was like, if you wanted Matthew Stafford, you could go get Matthew Stafford right now. That is Massacre Week. It is time for everybody to get under the salary cap. Joining us now is a man who's broken numerous amounts of news, already going into Massacre Week. I know he's excited for this time of year. Of course he is. The senior insider for the NFL, the NFL's website, the NFL's network,

the NFL streaming service, NFL Plus. And a host of the weekly wrap up of the Rap Sheet and friends us being friends he being Rap Sheet the insiders host on all podcast network platforms Ian Rapoport that's your life right there huh that's your life right there we just saw it looking down at your phone this is a miserable time

your tone in your text messages with me this morning was despicable are you okay is everything alright it seems like you're very important right now. I'm fine. It's like a marathoner. It's like a marathoner.

They're getting ready. They've been training all year. It's finally up and everyone's like, you're looking forward to it? And they're like, no, no. But in the end, it gets to be over and then you get to have the medal where you stand after the finish line and you get like one awkward picture. And, you know, sometimes you run by and people throw water on you like that's what it's like. Yeah, that's what I was about to say.

But in the end, it'll be over. That's what I was about to say. You're like a medal grabber as opposed to a tape ripper. Right. Because the people that are trained all season and get to the marathon, they're pumped for the marathon. Right. Because everything that they prepared for there, that's the difference between, I think, like athletes and like insiders. Sure.

You know, like whenever it gets time to be- Definitely the only difference. When it's time to get to it, it's like a lot of athletes are excited. Like, okay, everything I just did was for this. How do we frame it in our mind? We're excited. Like excited to show off all the work we put in.

For you, it's like, I hope I survive this next fucking week. Hey, is it going to be crazy? Is this going to be a big-time masquerade week? Seems like moves have already taken place. Adam Thielen cut. Ben Jones cut. I know you had a tweet about Z'Darrius Smith and him asking for his release from the Vikings.

They're not thinking about that. But with the world right now, with the way the NFL is trying to save dollars, everything's on the table pretty much at this point. Are we thinking that, or is this going to be a quieter Massacre Weekie in Rappaport? No, I mean, I think you kind of summed it up before I was on. We're like, basically anyone with a big price tag is not being shopped, but certainly has come up in conversation. There really is a difference between a team shopping a player,

and if you're a team and you're calling around about a player and you're like, hey, we're looking to deal this guy, that basically means that guy's getting cut. I would say Chuck Clark, who got traded yesterday, that was one where the Ravens were like, he's a good guy, we'd like to trade him to a good place, we'd like a pick, so they got a future seventh rounder for a guy, actually a good player, but a guy who's going to be cut. seventh rounder for a guy, actually a good player, but a guy who was going to be cut. You know, the other stuff, like the Darius Slay stuff is more like he wants guaranteed money beyond this year. He's 32.

He is still great. So like you'd almost never give a corner money at 32, but he's still really, like he defies logic. So he wants more money. So he's able to go out, see what his market is, see if anybody will trade for him or see if the Eagles go, you know what? You're right about your market. We're actually just going to give you the money instead of someone else. And we'll keep everything together, which is kind of what Baltimore might be doing with the non-exclusive tag with Lamar.

We'll let the market tell us what the price tag is, and we'll have the ability to match it. They have until like July 15th to do that for Lamar. We've talked a lot about Lamar. Let's talk about something else. Miami seemingly gearing up to make a big signing. Is that Jordan Poyer? Is that Dalvin Cook? Is that anybody else?

What is Miami freeing up so much space for, you think? And what was that information you just got? Not even joking. It was about Miami clearing cap space. Okay. What is it for? Who is it? What is it for about miami clearing cap space okay what is it for who is it what is it for um so a couple things i'll read from the text message i literally just got asked to explain it so they were they were almost negative 20 against the cap before this right yes so like

they were in the bad part now they clear 40 million they're in the good part so they can actually be cap compliant and actually continue to operate as an nfl team that's one thing uh it's not for a quarterback they have a quarterback okay like that's two they have one um and then basically this is like to sort of fill in the gaps maybe sign a free agent or two and they got some of their own and they got some they would sign like would they could they sign a corner like i could see that you know um that would be one spot and then they all they would sign. Could they sign a corner? I could see that. That would be one spot. And then they need more than $10 million to sign their rookie class.

They need a lot of room to operate. I wouldn't say they're going to be huge, huge players, but maybe one splashy signing. Okay, so Poirier seemingly has been linked to the Miami Dolphins because he stays down there, lives down there. He's talked about the New York taxes. Is that something you see taking place? Is that what moves are being made about or no? I mean, I would say that level of free agent would be the kind of guy

they would target, probably one of those. You know, corner or safety, I think both those guys would make – they have a great young safety in Javon Holland. I think that would make sense. You know, pairing him with a veteran, it would make sense. But that's my guess is not a quarterback, just one really good free agent and then use the rest on their own guys and kind of handling business. Let's move away from Miami.

Let's go to the New York Jets who are obviously awesome to talk about right now because their fans are on cloud 50, and that could all change, obviously. If Aaron decides to retire as opposed to go back and play football. Sauce Gardner on his YouTube and his Twitch last night alongside Garrett Wilson and Brees Hall, and they burned a cheesehead that he wore after the game, and they kind of had a tradition, and they did a big recruiting pitch for Aaron. And then they also said that if Aaron was to come,

there's a lot of package deals that people were talking about. What does that mean? We immediately let off the show as soon as we saw Thielen got cut. My first thought was like, oh, Thielen and Aaron are like very tight friends. Would that be something if Aaron comes back that Thielen would follow? And that couldn't have been what Sauce was talking about because Sauce was talking last night. What are you hearing about the Jets and if Aaron is to decide to continue to play, which is, we've been told, still very much in play.

Still very much in play. What is he talking about whenever he says that and what do you think it is? And what are you hearing right now? First of all, I want to get to the Packers in a second. My buddy Mike Garofalo just posted a Brock Purdy surgery update. UCL repair with an internal brace. The expectation

is Purdy will begin throwing in three months. Build up strength from there. That seems to be really good news. Yeah, it's not full Tommy, John. That is just a helper in there or whatever. So that's not nine months. That's like the four to five, allegedly.

Yeah, right. Right. So for those people who thought he was going to be on track to start the season or around there, God, he looks like E from Entourage. Anyway. Doesn't he look just like him? Yeah, worst character by far far show could have gone on with a different person playing that particular character but yes i agree he does kind of

look like him yeah did you say worst character by far not even like a close no yeah second not even oh my god and now i heard he's doing business. You're a suit, rap. Like, hey, Eve from Entourage wants to do, it's like, I don't give a fuck. Is drama doing something? Yeah, right. If drama's doing something. Go ahead. I mean, no, I would say, like, it is funny when people sort of, like, become their character. Like, the guy who was the president in 24 becomes, like, a spokesman on insurance.

And you're like, you were also Pedro Serrano in Major League. It worked. You've been there before. I appreciate the fact that you like the suit. I assume a lot of suits like you like the suit. And it makes sense why people like me were like, that's the worst character. What is it?

But what are the package deals? What are the package deals that are being alleged in Sauce's mind? Do you know anything about that? Randall Cobb was the one that I was thinking about. So Randall Cobb recently underwent surgery on the back of his ankle, basically just to relieve some pain and make sure that he is able to function. I think he wants to play again. People close to him believe he wants to play again.

He wants to play with this guy Aaron Rodgers. That would be my thought. Now, the Jets kind of have a guy like that. They have Elijah Moore, who's awesome. But, you know, if you're Aaron Rodgers and if you do want to come back, you know, go to the Jets, then I would imagine they would say, oh, you want to bring Randall Cobb? Like, that's probably fine. And I wonder, like, Mercedes Lewis, also his guy. Robert Tanyan, a free agent. You know, there's some of his guys who are, I mean, I feel like Brady just did this and we all sort of laughed like, Oh,

Brady's signing. And then it all happened. So like I could see a similar situation if he goes to the jets, which he has not said that that's what he wants to do. I would like to let everybody know that our scumbag Packers fan just kind of said, Oh, whatever, go ahead, take them. It sounded like it was a whole new chapter in Green Bay. I just saw a highlight over here and it reminded me, Odell Beckham Jr. is doing a workout in Arizona today for two teams, the Giants and the Patriots. Is that all being filmed and sent out to everybody or how's this process going to go for OBJ and how big's the market for him right now um more than more than two teams okay who because i think we only heard giants and patriots is what we heard uh giants i'm not 100 sure the giants will be there patriots

make sense baltimore's been in the mix um cowboys, I'm sure, will be there. I mean, I would imagine most teams are going to be there. Who do they send? Like a scout? Is it just like a scout they send? A camera? How is that? It could be a scout.

It could be a head coach. It could be a GM. Like a lot of GMs are in the building, like in their own buildings. Like I would imagine the Cardinals probably send someone of note, even though I don't know that they're going to sign him. You know, like it's something that we will talk about, I would imagine the Cardinals probably send someone of note, even though I don't know that they're going to sign him. It's something that we will talk about, but I don't know that it truly matters who is being sent because we're all going to have film.

I mean, we're not, but they're all going to have film. And we're going to see, like, what does he look like? And he's got a window now. He's got basically two and a half days to sign before anyone else can, or three days before anyone else can talk to anyone. I would imagine if Odell's signing, it's going to be relatively quick. And if he shows that he's still got the explosion that he had before, like probably the top free agent.

Like look at the rest, you know, the rest of the receivers are not great. Like I think he's going to get a real deal. Okay. So we think Odell Beckham Jr. deal is going to happen soon. That is what I think. Yes. Okay. Good to deal. Okay, so we think Odell Beckham Jr. deal is going to happen soon. That is what I think, yes. Okay. Put it on the ticker. Thank you, Rap.

Connor has a question for you. Yeah, Rap, she's not a free agent, but also another wide receiver that's probably the best in this availability is DeAndre Hopkins. I saw something linking him to Baltimore. Are there any other teams in that? And then what is it going to take? It was reported a second and then maybe a conditional player or pick.

What are you hearing about that? As far as the trade compensation, I mean, a second would make sense. You know, he's an older player, but he's still great. He's got amazing fashion sense. I mean, the video, the interview he did with you guys was good and I couldn't stop looking at his hat. I mean,

I know he said other things, but to me it was all about the hat. The hat was sick. He told me, I've never seen that fashionable cowboy hat. I had to put mine on, though, I'll tell you that. I've seen it, tip of the cap. Shout out to Pac-Man for getting D-Hop on. He never talks. But when he does, he's very good.

And that's like, if you cover him, like, when Hopkins is talking to the locker room, you're like, all right, like, I better listen. He's been working out in Dallas. You know, could they use another weapon? I would say they probably could. That would make sense. You know, I would say this. A lot of the teams that are in on, were interested in Odell would also make sense for Hopkins.

Like, Giants had interest in Odell. Like, they need weapons for their good young quarterback. Like, would also make sense for hopkins like giants had interest in odell like they need weapons for their good young quarterback like that would make sense like there's you know there's again like there's not a lot of uh receivers in free agency so someone like hopkins becomes available like my guess is someone jumps up and trades for him because he's really good is that just understood that he's getting traded? Because he said that he's just focusing on today, and then a lot of the Internet reaction after D-Hop came on was like, oh, he's getting traded. I thought it was just understood that he was getting traded,

and then whenever we were talking to him, it was like, I don't think he didn't really – he said, I'm going to continue to do my job. I'm going to stay on today. But he didn't allude to anything like he was definitely being traded. In the Internet, there were certain parts of the internet that were like, oh, he must be getting, is he definitely getting traded? It seems like the right time to get traded if you're Monty, because he's got two years left on his deal.

If you're going to try to start fresh, now granted, you're without fucking a guy who has 5X, 5X gloves who changes the game, his name's Dehop. That stinks. But you could see how Monty would want to to start new take the big cash hit next year and then have a fresh cap basically in 2024 as a new gm over there trying to figure it out is that what's happening is it understood or what do you think i think you're reading it right from a business sense like if you're a new gm and you inherited all sorts of cap issues and not that hopkins is a cap issue but like he is it he is a player who probably should be on a team that's built to win right now and you know with the Cardinals looking

at Kyler Murray missing some time to start the season however much time that is I'm not sure they're a win now team plus I don't know how much they're actually going to spend in free agency so like a reset makes sense and I think that's why know, I don't know for sure that he's getting traded. But usually when we spend months talking about a player being traded, almost never is it like, yeah, he's not being traded. We'll keep. Like, usually when you start talking about a trade, usually it ends up being traded.

Oh, the old smoke fire thing. That's what you're saying. That's the one. Hey, if there's a lot of smoke, there's probably some real fire out there. That's right. You know what I mean? Especially if that thing's smoking for months and months and months. Is he? No. The Jets wouldn't just say it.

Right. With the Dolphins? I mean, Dolphins, now, see, Dolphins have a lot of money invested in receivers. They got Tyreek and then they got Waddle, who's great. I wouldn't think Dolphins have, they got a lot of money invested in receiver. They got Tyreek, and then they got Waddle, who's great. Agreed. I wouldn't think Dolphins, you know, Jets got a lot of good receivers.

And that's why, like, your friend Aaron, like, the Jets, I don't know what he's going to do. I mean, I think I know, but I don't know what he's going to do. Yeah. But the Jets are a good spot. Like, they really have some weapons that I think he would enjoy if he decided to go to the Jets. A prophet named Wayne Carter once said, too much money ain't enough money. In the NFL world, too many wide receivers ain't enough wide receivers.

It is the game. It's how you win. There's going to be an injury that's going to come. You're going to still need to have weapons. Excited to see what the Jets do to continue to potentially... What are you hearing on that front, huh? What are you hearing on your side? So, alright, I'll

share and then you'll share. I don't know. I don't know anything yet. I still don't know. I think this weekend I'm going to get told shit, though. I feel like as soon as this show ends, I'm going to get... Alright, here you go. I feel like there's a chance I'm going to get a lot of information and then there's going to be like, by Monday he'll probably forget.

You know what I mean? I think that has happened before. AJ knows I don't know shit. What do you know, though, that you've heard from the whole situation? Here's what I know. The meeting went well. Everybody was positive. If he is going to go someplace, I believe it would be the Jets,

which I don't, I mean, they're the only team that has permission to talk to him, the only team he's met with. That obviously makes sense. Retirement is still a possibility. So as I talk about all of this, even if going to the Jets makes sense, I have to know that Aaron is not like anyone else.

And if anyone would leave $60 million on the table, it is him. Retirement is still possible. All he needs to do is tell the Packers, trade me to the Jets. And if he does that, then they will facilitate a trade. That is what we are all waiting on. Like, is he going to do that? Or is he going to say, I'm retiring or walking away? Or then the third possibility, which is obviously less likely, which is him going, all right, I'll just stay with the Packers. Okay. So that is kind of what our understanding is at this point as well. And you're just assuming the trade would be able to take place. It's not going to be like a big hangup. Okay. That's a, go ahead. No, no, no. I would say like, it's,

they'll have to figure it out. But when I don't even know who has leverage, like if, if Rogers says to the Packers, trade me to the jets, they're not going to be like, okay, well, we're only going to trade you for six first round picks.

Like they get out from the $60 million. Like they can figure out the trade is what I'm saying. Okay. I'll be excited to see how this all got here. Like, did the Packers say, we definitely want to move on. Like,

that's why retirement and jets became like the whole thing like how did the whole that's what i'm very intrigued but that's why i can't wait for me to get information because the information that i feel like i'm getting is going to come from a different angle what's the angle i think i'm gonna get it from a different angle but all we're hearing is your guys's angle thus far and it sounds like it's retirement or jets well how many days A couple more days, right? Free agency basically starts Monday

at noon. He has said very publicly that he is not going to hold up business. His next two days. Let's go. We didn't figure it out. Ty has a question for you. Yeah, Rap Sheet, the dust obviously hasn't settled on that, but it seems like we kind of know where let's go. We didn't figure it out. Ty has a question for you. Yeah, Rap Sheet, so the dust obviously hasn't settled on that,

but it seems like we kind of know where it's heading. So kind of all the quarterback dominoes have basically fallen into place. With Jimmy G, it seems like, you know, at this point at least, everything we're hearing is kind of that it's almost like Raiders or bust, but then we've also heard that they're looking into Mac Jones, potentially trading for him. I don't know how real that is, but what is the latest you've heard on Jimmy G? Do we know what he's going to end up doing yet?

I've not heard about a Mac Jones trade. It would be very surprising. It seems like the Patriots are committed to him. I do think the Raiders will have some interest in Garoppolo. He's got some interested parties. I would imagine the Texans would probably have some interest you know, the Texans would probably have some interest. I imagine the Panthers would probably have some interest. If the Jets don't get Rodgers, I would definitely expect they have some interest.

That's probably his best, like, market, you know. Like, if they're willing to spend $60 million to win Aaron Rodgers. Are the Raiders in the free agent quarterback market, or do you think they're going with somebody young because they spend a lot of money on vets? I think they'll be in the vet. I mean, I don't think it'll be crazy crazy, but I think they'll be in the veteran market for maybe one specific player they might have some familiarity with.

Jimmy G or Mac Jones? Mac Jones is not a free agent, but I would imagine they'll have some interest in Jimmy G. No, I heard that there was a chance that somebody was boozed up in Indianapolis, probably the same place you were, and there was a conversation about McDaniels maybe trying to link back up with Mac Jones via trade. I would be surprised. Things have surprised me in the past. I would be very surprised about that. Okay, how about the Lamar market? What's going on?

I have not heard. I don't have a team yet. I'm not saying it's impossible. It's extremely complicated, but I do not have a team yet. Now, I might not until they put in an offer sheet, right? But the value, there's the argument

has been on the internet streets, right? Everyone's been talking about it. Well, Screech. Yeah, exactly. Screech. If PAC is to, because PAC was a large part of the argument on Screech, which you would know nothing about

because you're just a straight up nerd. Anyways, go on, pal. That's fair. So there's a couple of things that are working against a team signing him into an offer sheet. A lot of people think Baltimore would match. No matter what? I mean, only the Bears.

I would have to look at the caps. All right, here, we got a graphic. We got a graphic. We got a graphic. Yeah, okay. So the Bears, the Falcons, and really that's it. Really just those two teams could structure an offer sheet in a way that would make it almost impossible for Baltimore to match.

My sense is the Falcons are not doing it. Why? The Bears have. Do we know why? What are we? Is this not Artie Smith's plans? Like they were just in on Deshaun, right? Oh, yeah.

Big time. Is it because of the guaranteed contract situation? And that's why like Cleveland got Deshaun, right? Oh, yeah. Big time. Correct. Is it because of the guaranteed contract situation? And that's why Cleveland got Deshaun and Atlanta didn't. Atlanta proved it. I think that is some of it, yeah. Because let's say the Falcons, this is not happening, but I'm just saying,

let's say the Falcons say, all right, we're going to give Lamar Jackson a fully guaranteed contract. You have to hand over a check to the league office of $250 million, fully guaranteed right away. Like that is a disincentive for teams to do that. Plus, let's say you're the Falcons still, because you're still the Falcons, and you want to spend in free agency.

Well, you're allocating $250 million to Lamar Jackson starting on Wednesday. You can't do anything else for five days until you know whether or not Baltimore is going to match. And let's say Baltimore does match, then you basically missed out on free agency. So you're saying this is like a two-week, three-weeks from now. This will probably all start cooking up.

They have until July 15th, right? I mean, if there's going to be a team, it's going to be basically one team that doesn't have a quarterback, it's going to be basically one team that doesn't have a quarterback that just has to have one and does it. I don't know that it's going to happen this week. Both these teams don't, right? All three of them.

Well, the Texans are going to get one. Are they where? Bears have one. In the draft? Yeah, I guess we could just say, oh, they're going to get one. Like, yeah, I guess you can do that. I guess you can get one in the draft. But, like, these three right here for sure need a quarterback.

And, oh, look, they happen to have money. They do. Oh, it's wild that this is happening. You know that. We know that. The internet streets know that. It's fascinating with who Lamar is how he's played football that this seems to be a message about guaranteed contracts that's what this seems to be

and i'll be excited to see where we end up and how this sets the nfl for the next 10 years because i feel like it is going to happen all you need is one owner though don't you ian you need one owner just be like fuck it i'll do it. Like Haslam did with the Sean. Right. And that's why like people, you know, the argument has sort of been about collusion, which I've never,

I'm not going to make any statements. You'd be a part of it. Do you work for the NFL? I'm not making any statements on anything. I would just say this owners want to win. And the thought of everyone getting together on literally anything that would prevent anyone from being like, yeah, I'll just do it because I want to.

I mean, we literally saw it last year. Like now there's a big decision, but last year everyone's like, do what you want. Yeah, I think you're right. I think you're right. And I think the timing of it is a good deal with the five days thing. If you make a deal right now, you're missing free agency. You're missing basically everything. We got two weeks, so that means

Lamar and Mom, we got some time to get your ducks in a row. Hit the channels here. Kind of hit the channels. Say, hey, we want to do this. See how we want to do this. We're hearing from this team. Let's go. Let's work this thing. Let's hit these phones. A couple hundred million dollars on the line here. Let's remember that. Life-changing money. Let's hit these phones. A couple hundred million dollars on the line here.

Let's remember that. Life-changing money. Even if we got to lose a bite out of the apple, still got a couple hundred million dollars here. Let's go ahead and work that thing. Tone has the last question for you. I know you're very busy, and we're very thankful for your time that you spent with us today.

Ian, there's a couple, a few big-name running backs. The names have been linked to trades and or being cut. Of these guys, do you think any of them are going to be different teams? Zeke, Joe Mixon, Dalvin Cook, Derrick Henry? Okay, Joe Mixon, I've not heard anything imminent as far as them releasing or trading him. Maybe down the line, but I would be a little surprised. Like, I could see them working something out, but I would be surprised if he's released.

Zeke Elliott, they still have a decision to make cap and cash and just performance. And you talked about owners making the decisions on Lamar Jackson. I would imagine Jerry Jones would be very involved in the decision for Zeke. That is his guy. What else? Dalvin Cook. I saw the rumors. We will see what they end up doing. It's a lot of money in a contract. It is a lot of money. I mean, same thing with Derrick Henry. Both awesome, both on second contracts. It's a lot of money. So I don't think it's impossible, but I think the worlds would have to unite for one of those guys to be dealt. Okay, but it was like Derrick Henry is being dealt,

and then it was like Derrick Henry's not being dealt. What you're saying, what Lombardi said, is like with how much he's getting guaranteed with where the Tennessee Titans are currently with a brand new GM, he is certainly potentially a part of a phone conversation with GMs to the Tennessee Titans same thing with Dalvin Cook because it feels like they're in the hunt right aren't aren't the Vikings

currently they're not in a rebuild they're not no no they're no they're now they're in a cap crunch like they're in a I mean they had to just cut Adam Thielen like they're in a they're in a tough cap situation so if anything happened it would be I'm sure because of that. They also have Alexander Madison, who's pretty good, who's a free agent, who's younger. But Dalvin's awesome, don't get me wrong. So that'll be an interesting decision coming up. Anything we didn't ask you about that we should be asking about

that may be showing up in your cell phone? Oh, he's got a vision board. Yeah, check the work board. No, I think you hit on all the things. You guys are very thorough. Not so much you, but the other guys. Dak Prescott and Zach Martin just redid their contracts to clear $30 million in cap space.

What's that for? Room to operate. For who? Yeah, for what? Darius Slay? Maybe. OBJ? I'm sure the Eagles would change to the Cowboys.

A receiver would make sense. Okay. I'm a little bit surprised that they restructured Dak instead of extending Dak. Didn't he just do a deal like, what, two years ago? Yeah. Right, but two years left, they've talked about maybe extending him, but they didn't just do a deal like what two years ago right but two years left they've talked about maybe extending it but they didn't do that they restructured just basically moved money around rather than

do a whole new deal but anyway now they got some money and then they're you know there's a couple receivers that we've talked about so it'll be interesting to see where they go potentially alright we appreciate you so much or OBJ depending upon how his workout is. We assume it's going to be great.

Jerry Jones is already in it. We'll follow along with your Twitter account all weekend. We're proud of you. And remember, you've prepared for this week. This is the time you get to show off, cuz. That's what this is. This is the Rappaport victory dance this week. Hell yeah.

Let us pray. That's not the right attitude. Come on, man. Come on, man. Ladies and gentlemen, Ian Rappaport. Yay! Everything's a mindset. That's not the right attitude. Come on, man. Come on, man. Ladies and gentlemen, you can wrap it up. Everything's a mindset. That's right. Okay?

You listen to Von Miller speak about why he's so good at what he is. Mindset. Yep. You listen to Tom Brady talk about things and how he frames them in his mind. Mindset. Everything is a mindset if you've prepared for a moment your mindset can either be oh i hope i didn't waste all that time preparing i hope i don't ruin this moment or it can be i'm prepared i'm ready i'm gonna dominate yep it's time how come rap didn't have

what are we doing rap you're he's at the top of the he's top of the food chain yes him shifty yeah oh yeah and he's got this defeatist mindset. What are we even doing, Rep? That might be why, actually. Can we send Rep some tweets, please? Telling him, like, hey, you're ready for this, Rep. You're ready for this, Rep. May just need to get a cocktail into his system.

Kind of jumpstart. A little courage. Plus, being at the top of that mountain, you might be worried. Ari Mirov is biting at his heels right now. Ari Mirov is a curator. Aggregator. Aggregator of information. Not an information breaker, I don't think.

Two different gigs, both very vital to the digital sports space. But Ari had draft night. Exactly. He was locked in. Ari was in there on draft night. Not to mention there's another horse in this race, Jordan Schultz. Now, Schultz, he is somebody that you got to look out for. Young and hungry.

He is young, scrappy, hungry, wealthy. That's right. Yeah. That is. It's a dangerous combo. Because he shouldn't be. No. Scrappy or hungry, right.

Yeah, that should not be happening with that last one and that first one. He will take some shots, too. Volume shooter. He is not scared. I mean, Brandon Marshall announced that fucking Aaron Rodgers was retired. True. What was that? Last Tuesday.

Yeah, that was crazy. That was bananas. I saw it. Damn. He is? Okay. No, for sure. I think somebody who told him told him that they were sure,

which is why I think probably Ian is so because this is like a time to prove whether or not your sources are legit or not bingo right because he doesn't know what's real what isn't real and if Ian Rappaport gets caught with a Schultz that's damning yeah exactly can't happen

Ian also doesn't Ian's going to tour here for the next week and a half Ian's not seeing his family or the next week and a half. Ian's not seeing his family or his kids. Nope. He is glued to two phones the next 10 days. But nonetheless, you're going to commit that much time. You commit all this boozing.

You need to at least celebrate what you committed your entire being to. And we've all seen how high. You study high, take the test high, you get high scores. He networks drunk. He needs to maybe break news drunk. Exactly. Pick up the bottle.

Get high scores. Boom. You know what I mean? Like, that is something that he needs to start thinking about, too, that you mentioned it. Ty had an evening last night, right, Ty? Yeah, I had a couple cocktails, you know. Ty's like maybe our most full-blown adult we have in here.

He did, like, some real adult stuff last night. And then guess what he did? Showed up with the morning pickleball boys. Oh, yeah. Breakfast boys. No, maybe the breakfast pickleball boys. I went to tweet hashtag BPBB, and it just did not feel as good as MPBB. Reminded me of the oil still, and I just hated that.

Yeah, you're right, because all the fish. You're right. We didn't like what happened to all the fish. So anyways, the morning pickleball boys. Ty's out there hooting with the Isles last night. Then he comes in and soars with the Eagles this morning. Thursday night, though, just grabs a couple of waistgates. What?

That's awesome. Those days are either really far ahead for me or very far behind for me. So whenever I heard that from you and I saw you this morning, fucking 8 a.m., I was very proud of you, Ty. I appreciate that. I appreciate that. Hey, I mean, you know, what are you going to do? Just a couple, nothing crazy, you know, just kind of a nice little nightcap. And it does. I mean, coming in here and working up a sweat in the morning is phenomenal. It's been a pretty good little, we've only done it like a week now, I think.

It's my new favorite thing. I think I'm going to be able to stick with it. I love it so much. It's such a good game. And I'm publicly promoting it, so it puts a little pressure on me to continue to do it. There you go. Because, like, there's been a lot of things that we've said, yup, you know. Sure.

And then we just, nope. Right. Very quickly. Sick of it. Let's move on. Waking up is one of them for me. Waking up, I'm a night guy. Right. Very quickly. Sick of it. Let's move on. Waking up is one of them for me. Waking up I'm a night guy. Yeah. I've always

been powered by the moon, not by the sun. So I'm up 1, 2 a.m. That's completely okay. If I sleep till 7.38, obviously the people that wake up at 6 and at 5 are going to dunk on me. You don't wake up till 7.38 o'clock? It's like, well, I was up you, you don't wake up till seven 38 o'clock.

It's like, well, I was up till you were sleeping. Got a couple extra hours. Aren't we doing the same kind of scale? So I've never really been a morning person. My wife, massive morning person, absolutely loves the mornings wakes up. It's a new day. You know, the whole thing, it is, you know, it is crept into my world. Like, world like hey that that's awesome but this whole morning pickleball thing early alarm clock for me and i'm starting to see what all these old successful fucks that do the whole morning thing that have been battling against me like telling me like you need to wake up yeah you need to start waking up a little early as opposed to the 2 a.m you need to start doing it i'm starting to see watching the sun come up oh yeah well that that's part of the reason why

it i mean we're in the kind of the sweet spot right now we're like it is easier to wake up like trying to do it in december when you wake up at you know 5 30 or 6 and it is pitch black out it's like fuck this i'm going back to bed i can't do it now you wake up at this time and it's like oh i can actually see daylight you know to add on to your point we don't got got football Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday nights running until like 1130 midnight. That makes a big difference too. So now's the time where we can really take advantage of being just regular fucking humans. Look at us. Flip the repeat.

You're also pretty close to that natural 536 AM alarm clock that's going to come. Yeah, true. Oh, yeah, I heard. Yep. Which is good. So I'm prepared. Exactly. I'm already getting ready for it.

Exactly. So I don't even need to add on that type of misery that certainly comes from a lack of sleep or waking up early. I've enjoyed it. It hasn't been bad. Get to talk to the wife a little bit before I leave. Yeah. Hang out with the wife. There's a little bit more as opposed to just, well, and then I'm out of here.

Read the paper. Have a cig. So kind of, though. I mean, neither of those, obviously. Kind of. The modern version of both of those things is happening. And then morning pickleball happens. Get a good sweat.

Today, Foxy does this little dance with the time thing. Oh, is that right? Yeah, he's like fucking hokey pokey. That's an attitude. He's like, he's on time Oh, is that right? Yeah, he's like fucking hokey pokey with you. Okay, so not astute. He's like, he's on time, but is he really? You know, in the building on time. Yeah. Dressed.

No, not ready. Not Lombardi time. Let's put it that way. Or any, like, football time at all. Like, just, he's in the building by the time morning pickleball league kicks off. Right. He is nowhere near ready

you know what i mean sure so this morning i got in a little bit earlier than the morning pickleball league because i wanted to get some things done before the morning pickleball boys tip off so i did a full upper body workout there you go yeah okay because the other day i did a box i boxed five dudes in the o Oculus, which is about to change forever. They got the little Ready Player One thing. Billy McComas found that. There's people actually fucking... You can do the movie Ready Player One now. You hook into the Oculus, which is very real.

Now, some of the characters in some of the games might look a bit Mickey Mouse, but they are three-dimensional actual beings that are moving and everything. three-dimensional actual beings that are moving and everything. Now they have like a 360 treadmill that you can kind of walk and run on and do everything. It's only a matter of time. Here we go. It's only a matter. That guy is maybe six months away from having suck machine over here.

Oh, yeah. Right? Meeting somebody. And on the other end, they have a dick machine over there. And it's like that's what Ready Player One became, right? Isn't that kind of what Ready Player One was? There's a world for it. But I'm saying people are going to see that.

Like, we're certainly buying one of those. But if everybody starts getting those, and then now we're talking about. That becomes the new thing. Now we're doing it. Now we're a part of the problem. Well. We got to start buying real estate in metal world. See, that was a whole nother thing.

You mean buy dirt. Buy dirt. That's a banger, Jordan Davis. Very good. But I Oculus boxed five dudes. First time in there a long time. And then I played pickleball. My arms were dead. Yeah. Yeah. It's tough. I used both of my arms in there a long time. And then I played pickleball. My arms were dead.

Yeah. Yeah, it's tough. And I used both of my arms in pickleball. Yeah. Okay, I'm old two forehands. So both arms. Need them. It was not good.

It was the first time I lost in here, to be honest with you. First time I ever lost in here. Part of my strategy. So today I was like, I get in here early, handle what I had to handle, nice little conversation or whatever. And I had like a good 25, 30 minutes before pickleball is supposed to start. Sure. Okay.

What's so funny, Foxy? Oh, there's a stop sign here, he said. That's what he said the other day. What? The stop sign's a real problem. That is a problem. We're in the middle of neighborhoods here. Okay.

Stop signs are really the only thing that can be. That stop sign's a real problem. I said, you know what? I'm going to go get a little body lifting, a little bit of a pump. I'm going to train so that what happens on Monday doesn't happen again. Like, at least I can address it a little bit. I'll tell you my first game today, that ball was not getting over that net. My upper body is weak right now.

I got to win the first game. That's my advantage right there. I'm a fucking weak bastard right now. I do arm workout. I can barely lift a pickleball paddle. But then let's not get crazy. It came back on the other side. So Fox is taking advantage of your time there.

Yeah. Yeah, he is kind of playing a game. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He knows he's going to work out and get tired. I'm like, I'm already dripping in sweat, you know, pretty exhausted. He comes bopping in. Woo! 7.59.

Yeah. Bud light bag. Well, I've got to go in here and set some things up. And then he's got to go in the locker room. Then he comes out. He's like, oh, let me get a water here. Let me wake up. I'm like, I've been hot, cold, and hot already.

Foxy's young, spry, and fresh out of bed, and wait at the stop sign over here. Anyways, the mornings at the Thunderdome have been very active in here. We got music playing. Yeah, pumping. There's people golfing up there. Billy McComb is actually wantinging to play 17th players And then wanted to play a couple other holes Almost took Ty's head off

Be careful He's a righty on the golf scene Think about that So his back is to court His back is to court Swing, sound It wasn't ball off back It was driver off deck

Ball bounces wall. I don't know if it hits off Bailey. Then comes flying out onto the court. Like in Ty's playing. That's weird. That's the first time a righty has ever, I think anybody. He's hitting the driver off the deck? No, no.

The driver. Hit the deck. Yeah. Hit about 12 inches beneath the ball. Bill's really good at golf, so that's confusing. Yeah, Bill was 280 off the tee on last week, last Wednesday. I believe it because he swung real hard, and he's trying to get better, too. He was trying to get up there and get work,

and instead he almost broke both of Ty Schmidt's ankles on a pickleball because a golf ball was rolling on the court for the first time ever in the Thunderdome. It was truly remarkable what he was able to do. It was. Can't have that happen. Can't become a common occurrence. And Bill did post a picture on Instagram, and it was like,

Bill, maybe don't hold your golf club like you hold his baseball bat. That's kind of the – Well, what is he doing? Because he's been golfing – he golfed for seven hours the other day. Remember? Oh, yeah. He's literally – he was grabbing that club like this. He's a hero.

He fucking – has pretty good swing. Yeah, not bad. Pretty good swing. Well, he's holding it up there, and he's towing the ball. So good swing yeah not bad pretty good swing well he's holding it up there and he's towing the ball so that's the issue right there bill the club's long enough just hold it at the right spot but look at how much flexion he has in the front leg and his legs are square he looks like he has a good base he's loading on that back leg green yeah it looks like the golf club's gonna put a hole in the screen, not the golf ball. Oh, so he hit driver off deck ball,

probably one off there straight to their pole. So that thing probably, right, if we're thinking here, that thing probably won. You think he moved too close? He moved close to the screen because that's not the first time that he has put it between his legs and down onto the court. When he's alone in here? Yeah.

When he's getting his third workout of the day? First of all, Bill looks good. He does. Yeah, good fit. Bill looks really good. Freshly shaved. Looks like Todd coming out of the Marines boot camp. This guy's been working out three times a day.

Yep. He still has got a little sunburn from golfing seven hours the other day. Ridiculous. Been buying into golf, been golfing a lot. Every time we golf, there's a chance Bill's going to come golf. Bill's there. It was never like that. No.

It never used to be like that. Bill is golfing there like the last year he's picked it up. This ball went from, he hit, boom, here. Scoops underneath of it somehow. This thing goes here, probably here, off pole here, boom, for Ty Schmidt's ankles. Is that what happened, Baylor? So Foxy can testify because he was taking some photos of me. It turned out really good, and I found out the issue.

But the first two swings, kind of okay. I hit the toe, but they still went. It was a good 200 and a good 180. we go hey here we go so then i try to adjust for the toe and i go like you said six inches underneath this ball hits the top of the sim bounces out oh top of the sim top of the sim yeah i hit that thing like a 60 degree bill so that's why it had the speed that it had come oh yeah yeah i mean for yeah. I mean, for the way it was hit, it was smoked. You got to give me that. But in the sim, I am pulling my arms in on the photos that Foxy sent me, and I'm terrified in there that I'm going to hit something.

Bill's swinging scared. Yeah. That's the issue. Come on, Bill. And I said once I got up there. Bill, you think you're the issue up in there? AQ Shipley is what? A vanilla gorilla.

Actually. Now, granted, his reach. Not true. About 30 inches. No, it's 20 and a half. It cost him like six rounds. Yeah. Like probably six rounds in the NFL draft.

Here's the thing. He's big body, though. Yeah, big body. He's swinging real hard. Good swing. He has no fear at all of anything. Bailey, get that out of your head. Come body, though. Yeah, big body. He's swinging real hard. Good swing. He has no fear at all of any. Bailey, get that out of your head. What are you talking about?

Are you 6'9 in your head? If I go up there with a 6-iron, you know, I'm flush. Once I get that big stick. Bill, stop lying to the people. Bill, come on. Hey, Bill, you keep matriculating right down that golf course. You get that driver, you go 180, 200. You just matric matriculating right down that golf course. You get that driver, you go 180, 200. You just matriculate your way right down that golf field.

We appreciate you, Bill. Let's go, Bill. That's why I took him seven hours, he said. Well, yeah. Some holes he's had to use a putter. Every yard. Putt it. I love this new Bill.

Yeah, Bill's the best. Bill's in here for the morning pickleball, boys. Just get some photos, get some graphics for us. I love this new bill. Yeah, Bill's the best. Bill's in here for the morning pickleball boys. Just get some photos, get some graphics for us. I love this new office. We're really taking advantage of this place now. I mean, the weight room's getting worked. The pickleball's getting worked. The simulator's getting worked.

And the TVs are getting worked. It's been great. So I think, like, obviously during the season, we just kind of get trapped. Yeah. And we're kind of like, that's when we were just dropped into this place. We had no idea what to do.

Now it's like, oh, there's like a fucking morning pickleball league here. A lot of shit to do. I assume there's going to be some sort of golf thing that's going to get set up up there. Oh, yeah. It's good news. Full shower, locker room, the whole deal. It's been awesome. There's a lot going on in our world, though.

Everybody needs to know that. Very true. There's a lot happening. A lot. After the Hawaii trip, you know, I got a baby on the way. There's a lot of things, you know, that are being kind of weighed

and talked about. It's all for good, I think. No bad at all, but there's a lot cooking over here. We don't have a full... We're hiring a chef soon. Oh, yeah. Oh, really? Chefs don't know this. We haven't reached out to anybody. We're down to like six to seven chefs.

We've got a lot of really good candidates. Incredible. A lot of searching on social medias. We're doing a lot of research on people. Because not only does the food have to be in our wheelhouse, we want it to be healthy. We want it to be good. It has to be in our wheelhouse, though.

There's some people that we're applying that are way too good of chefs. There's some people that were applying that were way too good of chefs. Not that these chefs aren't. Yeah, that they're way too good of chefs. We would feel horrible hiring you. You should not work for us. You should be winning those stars and shit. Yeah, Hell's Kitchen. Some of the people that applied for this gig, I was mind-blown.

Legit. We were very pumped about it. We don't have a kitchen kitchen we do not have a kitchen I gotta figure that out first they make those sweet trailer kitchens they're fucking sick we're down to a couple chefs that we're gonna hire and everything

it's like alright time to pull the trigger and I'm like what are they gonna do everyday I tried to walk through what their day would be like what their life would be like and i immediately was just literally have a fuck they're gonna be making peanut butter sandwiches we don't even have a full kitchen in this place so we gotta build one of those i think i think we're gonna do that so the chef thing we thought we're getting close turns out i'll be a tiny delay we don't have anyone for them to do the job so uh that is going to be a couple months, I believe. But we're really starting to learn this place.

There's a lot happening. Show will always happen. Hell yeah. Show will always be free. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. What will show, show will always be what it is.

Yep. Yeah. I think those are the three main points. Other than that, it's a wild time to be alive right now. Hell yeah.

I talked about this yesterday with, I forget who said it. They were talking about like public negotiation. They were talking about public negotiation. Talking about Kyler and everything like that. Lamar. That Hawaii tweet that was just a never ending tweet. Longest tweet ever.

Literally the only reason why it was as long as it was is because Twitter just kept letting me go. The infinity symbol. Let me look at these whales out here jumping around. Sam, how you doing? Sam, you want to go to the pool? Yeah, let's go to the pool while I'm at the pool.

Having a good time in there coming back. All right, let's just keep this thing going, I guess. What else are we talking about? Still got time. Jesus Christ. That thing was just like an hourglass. Oh, yeah. That's how it tells you how long you have.

Do we know how many characters? I had to be near the end, right don't think i think you can go because it just has the little like web link now where it's like i i think you could go as long as you want a lot of people read that and a lot of people that i would have never expected read that and then like reached out and then it's like do we have the is there a chance maybe to make the show better in the way that we do it? Because there's some stuff that publicly happened during the season, let alone what's going on right now, but the powerful stuff. Yeah, there's a lot of differences.

There's a lot of situations that just arise that because we have no anything with anybody, and really it's just us out here, which is great. Me sitting on a few of those calls, like four or five straight days sitting on hour, hour and a half calls. Me being the representation, and that's a hilarious thing that had to happen. But that's like seven and a half, eight hours of my life added on. You know what I mean? There's a lot of things. So that particular tweet led to some conversations

that made me have some thoughts, and then I run it by everybody. I'm like, are you thinking the same thing I'm thinking? How do we do this? And it's like, we've gotten to a point pretty quickly here where up-to-something season is very... We're in dead middle, probably, of up middle probably about some season right now like maybe even almost to the all-star break yeah maybe yeah absolutely it is everything's moving and escalating

quickly and the only reason it happens is because you people watch and i feel like every time i talk about this type of shit no other show does this right no other show does this but i think it's like a very important thing to know like because you guys are the reason why it's happened and we've talked like this since the very beginning like people have been with us for five six years seven years maybe even people that follow my twitter for the last like 15 years like i i feel very obligated to let people know like what's going on how it's happening why it's. I feel like I'm a rather transparent person whenever it comes to stuff. I think my Twitter account

was always a super transparent Twitter account. That's why it did become what it was. And I was very thankful and lucky. And Twitter is a cool app. I've always been through three different regimes of Twitter. Always. It's the best. It changes.

Each one changes. You realize changes. And then you just kind of oh can i still tweet yep can i oh can i still learn everything faster than everywhere else okay can i connect to this person i'm gonna still do it so like there's been people that have been riding along for a long time so i feel obligated to say that know that the next one is hilarious this this next one electric yeah and we're very grateful, very thankful. But I think we're going to leave a real impact.

Yeah, I'd say. I think, like, change some stuff. It's a goal. I think there's a chance. So that's where we're at. And then in hour two, we got a menace. Oh, yeah. That's right.

Also, I haven't talked about it. We sound so good again. Yeah, these microphones. It's unbelievable. I don't know what happened. You've done a great, unless I haven't talked about it We sound so good again Yeah these microphones It's unbelievable I don't know what happened You've done a great Unless I can't hear it No I can't hear it

There's no music There it is Hell yeah Everyone Cause you guys will hear music sometimes And I certainly would not But I think it's all fit It feels like we're in sync

Sounds pretty damn good Yeah So we're using the whole thing Got more lights More lights that we're in sync. Sounds pretty damn good. So we're using the whole thing. Got more lights. More lights that we put in and placed, even though we don't have degrees in that. No. And obviously, we're the professionals.

We did the whole thing. And now we can hear each other. It's pretty wild. Are we a program? I think we're a program. Thank you, Zito. Thank you, Jay. Z dropped in my ear yesterday, actually. Did he? Yeah. That's pretty wild. Are we a program? I think we're a program. Thank you, Zito. Thank you, Jake. Z dropped in my ear yesterday, actually.

Did he? Yeah. That's never happened. It actually kind of shocked me. Yeah, just in mind, I was like, holy shit, when Dana White came on. So Z came in your ear? Yeah. Came all over my ear.

I was like, Z, thank you. Z, what did he say? Jeez, you guys are so cheap. Actually, I think that's what he was reenacting what he said. That's what he did. Hey, Dana had some shit to say. Yeah. He really went hard.

And he was in a pretty mellow mood. Knew what he was going to say. Dude. We haven't even started doing live shows yet. I mean, there's so much. Touring is out there. Live shows in here are still out there. Touring is out there. Live shows in here are still out there.

Maybe a little makeover in here. Actually, what do we want this place to look like? Because it's pretty corporate looking right now. Gotta get some color. Look at all that empty space. Did you guys move in

too early? Well, actually, a couple months later. But, yes. But still too early. Anytime we would have, though, probably would have been too early. That should have been a part of the construction. Yeah. The decorating.

Got the PMS time CFB up there still. That's sweet. That was a craft. It was. That was a craft. That was made right there. Tim McAfee. You got to get the big stuff done, and then you'll get the little intricacies as we go along. That's a craft. It was. That was a craft. That was made, right? Yeah. Tim McAfee. You got to get the big stuff done, and then you'll get the little intricacies as we go along.

That's a lot of space. Do you know the dims of that? Look at the dims. Those are big dims. I couldn't even guess. Unreal. Zeke, a lot of dims. 12 by 12. We actually found out all the dims of these walls.

That's right. With a laser dim machine. We got the dim dims. We're dimming hard. Damn. So hard. The Lays dims? All those the dim dims. We're dimming hard. Damn. So hard. The Lays dim? All those walls, by the way, were not in here.

So everything pretty much that you see had to be built. And... It was an empty igloo. The construction, the dudes worked their asses off. We're in the middle of a logistics nightmare too, I guess. Like in the country, it was like the worst it's ever been. Evergreen. With materials and supplies.

People worked their fucking dicks off to get in here. But it was like, I don't think I'll ever want to do that again. Oh, it was a nightmare. There's no two ways about it. But I think, you know, tech in general, when you have to actually build a studio, there's no way it wasn't going to be a nightmare. Yeah, those people worked their asses off too. For sure.

And it was like, who knows how many tests there's supposed to be a nightmare. Yeah, those people worked their asses off too. For sure. It was like, who knows how many tests they're supposed to be. Because it was like six months we'll be able to find out everything. Which I guess kind of is the timeline that you shoot at. It's like, is this how everybody's going to do whenever they build? And is that why nobody builds in

studios? Potentially. That's maybe another thought of it all. Or if they build them, they leave it to someone else. Like, hey, I got a brand new studio. You're going to love it. Come on in. We're not leaving the Thunderdome for some

time, though. I'll tell you that. No, no. No reason to after how this place has been built, but we're lucky for it. We're thankful for it. And it's all because of you people that watch. A guy who's a college football national champion, a Super Bowl champion, a Ryder Cup champion, COVID survivor, father of 10, and a man, maybe the only

one, who truly knows exactly what's going to happen in the Aaron Rodgers situation. We know that because I went back and watched a video because Aaron Rodgers liked the tweet that says AJ knows what's going to happen. Ladies and gentlemen, it's AJ Hawk. AJ, explain yourself. What do you know?

What's up? It's going to be tough for Batali to be cooking with no kitchen in there. It's a shame. Jesus Christ. Who's that? This guy just can't get off the Mario Batali kick. You said he had a lot of high-profile chefs. I would imagine he, Guy Fieri, all of them. So Guy Fieri?

He doesn't have time to be our chef he's got 45 restaurants and triple d okay so i don't have that there's no way we would allow him to accept a role with us even if he wanted it because we'd say guy the world needs you that's right well he spit in your face too no he thought me you'd make me famous that was a compliment i thought he was trying to help you. Hey, you're much more famous now than you were then, so hey, it worked. Boom. Andy was super cool. We got to have, what, a beer? Was it beer? I forget. Was it beer? Donkey sauce in the

cup, right? No, there's no donkey sauce in Tito's. Donkey sauce in Wissi. No, it was not. It was great. It was incredible. He's got that guy's driver door dash delivery garage. Oh, yeah, that's right. Hey, they got some bangers in there. Guy needs to continue to do what he's.

I don't know who you're referring to. Sounds like a Paisano. There were a lot of Paisans that did sign up. And I'll tell you what, I didn't read through every resume, but the ones that were presented to me, if there was a little P paisan feel certainly said all right i'm going into reading this with a much better and i'm only saying that from my personal experience because i grew up in pittsburgh where everybody's italian and italian food is everywhere italians

italians seem to love to cook too and they love bringing the family together and having those family meals so i get it yeah just incredible it's nice to have the italians around whenever there's food then he moved to indiana yeah not a fucking paisano anyway the closest one is andretti because he went to indy 500 a bunch of times he don't live here he lives in pennsylvania so like it is whenever I see some resumes that have the Italian name on it, I do go like, let's take a look. Let's dive into this one a little bit because I've been with Paisan Cooks. I've been without Paisan Cooks.

I've survived, clearly. I am still alive as a human. But boy, it was great when there was some opportunity to at least enjoy a little bit from the boot country. A little bit from the boot country. Don't get lost on Fazoles now. I know we don't have what. I don't know if.

Best breadsticks in the business. Carl T. Howard Zellie. I thought his name was Leonardo Fazolini. That's his father. Okay, yeah. We don't know if Mr. Fazoles is available. Okay, well, that's a bummer. But there's another guy. He doesn't exist.

Whoa! Tony, you said last week, Fazole's gravy is better than anything I've ever had. Boom. Oh! He did not say that. He did. You should have took that down a couple steps. There's no way. You're right.

You were too hard there. The best gravy I've ever had. Some place called Gretzky's in Kentucky, and they had to change the name because the people in Kentucky were confusing it with the hockey player. Yeah, Wayne Eaney Gretzky is the one that Tony's talking about, so they changed it to Fizzle. You need to watch your mouth. We need to see your 23andMe before you start doing what you're doing right there.

But Ty, just too hard. I know. You know what I mean, AJ? Because obviously it's not going to be the best gravy, also known as sauce to the whites and everybody else, like the best that he's ever had in his entire life because that is like the Super Bowl of Italian shit. Right.

Especially when Coach Diggs makes a mean sauce. I know that. Because I was excited to hear if he had given up some on Fazoli. He loves their piping hot breadsticks. He'll admit that. Everybody does. Unlimited. That's right, baby. Really tough for you to get in there, AJ.

Sometimes I think about that. I'm like, well, that sucks for the guy on the other side of the screen right now in an attic in Ohio. But there was a lot happening there. I legitimately, this will be a big moment in our show's history, thought that Tone said something nice about Fazoli's. He did not. What?

That's why when Ty said, just last week you were, I'm like, okay. Really? And then he goes straight to the, it's like, clearly not true. I can tell you the Italians at the World Baseball Classic are killing it right now. Not only are they winning, but they have a sweet Nespresso espresso machine in the dugout so that they can have espresso while they are playing. I mean, they are dominating.

Are all their bats horns? Yeah. Like, do they swing the Italian horn? Their gloves are leather. Actually, the one pitcher had a big Maloik Italian horn charm on his shoe. I mean, they're killing it. All right. Good luck to the Paisans.

Go get them. They're going to get killed. What's the news of the day, they're killing it. All right. Good luck to the Paisans. Good luck. Go get them. They're going to get killed. What's the news of the day, AJ? You know everything about Aaron. Aaron liked the tweet that you said that you knew, so that means that you know. What do you know?

And just tell us. Let's just get it. You know what I mean? Let's just get this. Get it out there. I know that nothing has happened. There's no updates on my front from my perspective. Oh, so you do know.

From yesterday or just in general? Just in general. What do you mean? Okay, so now it's a lie. You did exactly what Ty did. Boom. Like if you would have said, there's no update, bingo, you know. This is literally what just happened.

So stupid. You should have said from yesterday. Okay, if Aaron knew, don't you think he would tell people? I would imagine when he has come to a decision, he will let the world know, correct? Put it on the ticker. Okay. Boom. Okay.

So there it is. Thank you, AJ. Thank you, AJ. Golly. Good for us. Good update. We needed that. That's the bottom of it.

When Aaron knows, he will update everybody. That hasn't even been said. Isn't that common sense? It's like, hey, if he knew, do you think he's just just gonna hold it a secret for a week or two it's 2023 what is common sense you know like that is a real good point that's a real question nowadays but yeah that coming from you i think is a big deal like now people know that aaron does not know it's still pondering when he does know he will make a decision because there's some people that think he is, you know, people that hate him that are like, oh, this guy's

holding people. When he knows for sure, I would imagine he's going to let people know. You think he wants to sit on it and sit there longer with it? He should sit on it with a DMT vape and an ayahuasca tea and then an LSD little square

and then the whales are out there frolicking but are those actually longboarders because I am on three different types of hallucinogens. That's awesome. I can't wait to hear what it is. Ladies and gentlemen, a FaceTime screenshot has been released by Sauce Gardner.

It is he and Odell Beckham Jr. who is sporting a fantastic die job on the top of his head. In moments, I would assume, before his workout for the NFL that is taking place today in Arizona, chit-chatting. NFL that is taking place today in Arizona chit-chatting. This follows Sauce Gardner doing a lot of Aaron Rodgers recruiting last night alongside Brees Hall and Garrett Wilson where they actually burnt

maybe a little symbolism for Aaron Rodgers. Burnt a cheese head in a fire stood around it and made some statements on Sauce's YouTube and on Sauce's Twitch. And Sauce also said, there's package deals all over. If this thing happens, you need to know.

So can we piece those two together? Is that what we're doing right here? Is that what Sauce just did? Or what is this just Sauce wishing good luck to Odell Beckham Jr. for his big workout today, Connor? Yeah, it's Odell Beckham Jr. going to the New York Football Jets. And I don't want it to be the case, but that is clearly what is happening right it's Odell Beckham Jr. going to the New York Football Jets. I don't want it to be the case, but that is clearly what is happening

right here. Odell Beckham. They don't have a quarterback, right? What is it? Strzofolski? Strzofolski. We know that Strzofolski, one, is Taysom Hill times eight. And then two, we know that Aaron, although he hasn't made a decision, if he's playing, he's going to one place and that's the New York Football Jets

because that's what Ravci just told and from last year i believe around free agency time or towards the end of the season when you know the odell sweepstakes were still going on aaron did mention you know hey me and odell have thrown around the idea of us you know playing together and i believe there was a photo brought up of them two hanging out and oh yeah they look so cool not to mention odell's hair looks awesome, like a snow cone. But if Aaron, while he's eating all those hallucinogens, were to look at that head. Oh, my God.

Oh, my. That's great. So you think Odell's walking into the room going. Boom. Aaron, look at this. Oh, this is the greatest trip of my life. It's like with Doc Ellis. See, nobody else is.

Exactly. For the Steelers, yeah. Yeah, for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Perfect game, tripping balls. That's wild that that happened. Could you imagine if any other sports show said what Conor just said? Well, Odell actually has his hair painted the way it is. Because he's going into Aaron's hallucinogen state,

and he's going to make him mesmerized. That is crazy to think about, though, because Odell Beckham Jr., Ian Rappaport just reported, he's probably going to be the most highly sought-after free agent in the entire market right now. Now, DeHop, obviously, allegedly available for trade. I think we all assume he's going to get traded, but then yesterday there was some conversation after he came on,

on the Internet, like, guess he's going to be traded. I didn't know that that was still a conversation or a discussion that was being had. But Ian said if there's smoke, there's fire normally when we're talking about this. So, DeHop and Odell Beckham Jr., the top two, right? That's a great free agent. Two teams, or the same team maybe, if you pull the trigger,

can get very good very quickly at a very important position that you need depth. We're all worried it's going to be the chiefs right like that's just kind of how we all view this thing aj is that what you're thinking yeah i guess they're a similar age aren't they both those guys d hop is he's played 10 years how long has odell been in i don't know that's something i'm not great either way like what kind of what kind of deal would they get two or three year deal you think yeah i would assume i i would think these older guys they would how old they both can

play i mean they both can still play at a very very high level i feel both 30 is what tone digs you said a lot of research happening behind computers and keyboards that's just like adam thielen he's 32 now listen we are not saying that adam thielen d hop and obj are saying wide receivers no we are not saying now granted adam Thielen was running like 4-3 at one point, doing every single route tree, doing his thing. This past year wasn't his best year. But Justin Jefferson, who he's also on the same offense as, had 180-some yards.

Do you think there's a chance that because of the other weapons that were on the field, there was also a lot better opportunity for the greatest wide receiver? We would all agree, Justin Jefferson in the league, right? For sure. There's going to be some wide receivers that aren't happy about that. Devontae Adams. In the conversation.

In there, nonetheless, Thielen wants to go to a contender, allegedly is what they said. How come it feels like one team's probably going to get two out of three of these guys? Wouldn't it make sense if for some reason Aaron goes to how come it feels like one team's probably going to get two of the two out of three of these guys? Yeah. You know what I mean?

Then wouldn't it make sense if for some reason, Aaron goes to New York and he plays that Adam Thielen goes there as well. I seem like a guy that they have, they already have a great relationship. We know that. Led the show with that. Like literally Adam Thielen. No,

but no, don't worry about watching it. But you and me thinking exactly the same way there. Like as soon as I see Thielen's up, I'm like, well, just as somebody that's been around Thielen and been around Aaron, it's like these two

very much like each other. They have known each other very well. Both are crazy about how they prepare, how they view the game. Listen to Thielen talk about how he views golf and how he prepares his golf game. We see him out in Tahoe.

That dude, he approaches it like he's a professional golfer, and we know that's exactly how he approaches his real job, football. He takes football and then just applies the exact same thing for golf, which is why he'll probably be a pro golfer at some point. Like Thielen will probably be a pro golfer at some point. I honestly believe that. And I know like people say, and Aaron said, I just want to see

one success story where a guy was a football player, anything, and goes on to be... He's my leading candidate. He's my leading candidate. I know I always say it's impossible. We're not going to do it and make the Champions Tour. If anyone could do it, I would guess I would put my money behind Sealy. Think about how good he is and he's a professional fucking football player right now.

Let alone whenever he has the time. He loves golf. He loves all the golf stuff that I would never do. Like he's out there putting four hours before his round. Like he does all of this range guy. Yeah. He was on the range long time. He was on that putting green though. I remember going over the putting green on like on the day he wasn't even

playing golf. He was just came up to putt and chip. Like he wasn't even playing that day. We stopped by the putting room two, three minutes probably? On the way to – it's right behind the first tee. That's where we would write. Yeah, but we went like two, three minutes probably.

Like as the guys about to announce. Maybe 90 seconds. Yeah. Should have done a little bit more time over there. But you know, though, no matter what you do before the round, no putt ever feels like it would feel on the practice screen. And that's because we're not good enough. It actually matters, and it matters too.

It sounds like that's because we're not good enough putters you know because i would imagine pros would tell you the same though like when every putt truly matters everything is just different it really is so this is why i think i could get good at it sometimes because like punting and kicking you know pretty similar to like all those actions like what having thing over and over again too yeah it's a boring thing you have to get good at but you also like have to control what you're saying to yourself in the moment like you have to be able to do that i don't know if i'll ever be able to i've been kicking a ball since i'm like actually like three years old very similar nerves though very similar like anxious feeling you could get being you're singled out you're kicking a field goal to win a game whatever that's very similar to how golf shots would be when they truly matter like coming

down the stretch on 18 you got to get up and down to win the thing so for me like i've been kicking the ball for so long i think that was why i was able to you know i was able to just like in the moment so what i'm saying like for those pros like if they have it all down to a science what they're doing i bet you there's a lot of them that the putting green is exactly what the round is like you know like I could get myself mentally to a place of practice that was the same in the game like that was a cool time when you get to that point it's a lot of fun oh my god it is a that was the best time I've ever had that was whenever I was doing that was like the last four years of my career pretty much. It was awesome.

I just knew what was going to happen. I knew where the ball was going. The amount of confidence I had was just like through the roof. And it was because I was just so plugged in to exactly what my technique was. Like if I do this, this is going to happen. You were confident because of your preparation, because you've done it a million times before. And when you do that, you can let your instincts take over. Like when you do all the little things, like every day in practice,

all those little dumb fundamentals, then you let your instincts take over in the game. That's so real. Preparation is the reason why people ease their nerves. Peyton had that quote. Yeah, what did Peyton say? Pressure is for people that don't know what the fuck they're doing or something like that, I think.

I think he said something like that. And he would over-prepare prepare like over and over and over prepare to be there for it i don't know if there's enough years in a human body for me to get to that point you know like golf's too golf's too difficult like day to day you see pros go out there and shoot a 67 one day and then they shoot a 78 the next day and you can't really figure it out and it's all a mental mind game on how to figure it out hold a hole bro yeah you have one bad hole now that's amazing that kitayama was able to win with a seven on nine or something like that you put that one seven up though you're fucked you're not winning you're done you're that's one hole that's one fucking hole you do all it takes is

one errant shot out of your whole round. One shot that just goes deep into the woods or whatever and you're punching around out there. Oh, here we go. Give me an eight. Yeah, not OB. Ball has been found. Here it is.

Like you can take a drop or you can make this crazy shot. Boom, you duck that into another spot. It's like all of a sudden you're fucked forever. I don't know. Like Thielen being as good as he is at golf now while also being a professional football player All of a sudden, you're fucked forever. I don't know. Like, Thielen being as good as he is at golf now, while also being a professional football player, and we know his story,

how hard he has had to work to become a professional football player. So I'd assume his off-field shit is very, very heavy. I'd assume. He does have a chance, I think, to maybe become a fucking guy whenever he's done and he's able to commit that time. That's a lot of time he's going to have to put into that well i'm like i can't remember who it was but they just showed someone's scorecard from the players today got an eight on the island green on 17 and then 18 is technically according to the handicap the toughest hole on the course he went out and buried it right

i mean you know he fucking pumps three into the water on a hole that's 134 yards or whatever turns around and birdies toughest hole on the course makes no sense the sport makes no sense didn't you see brooks kepka on that first episode of the netflix deal like that dude going through it he's like man i don't know how to play golf anymore okay so i think it's been enough time right for that being out for us to talk oh yeah three weeks okay so full swing yeah i don't think that's a spoiler. There's no spoilers in that docu-series that they did. No, but I don't think, I didn't want to shape people's thoughts going into watching it. You know, like I don't want to give anybody like opinions going in.

I felt for him. Made me like sympathize with Brooks. Like, oh man, this dude, he does, he truly loves it. He wants to be great, but he shows you like the struggle it takes to be great. Completely understand why he took $100 million. Yeah. You're going through that.

You have no idea if you're ever going to be able to hit a fucking golf ball again, pretty much. You're seeing 17-year-old kids get exemptions, shooting 68 in pro events. There's so many people coming up, too, that are better and better. And he's competitive, super competitive human still. Just can't figure it out at the moment. Going through a slump happens to everybody. Feels like there's a chance that he, this guy believes he might never win again.

Yeah. Like as you're watching, that's like what you, you're like, this guy feels like he's never going to win anything ever again. And it's like, then he's offered like a hundred million. That'd be a tough, it almost like explained why he was a lot more like Poulter as well. Yeah, sure.

Like Poulter. Yeah. Where he's at in his career makes complete sense. His all he wants to do is make the masters he's trying to make it he's trying to keep his tour card on the pga like he knows he goes to live he gets big money up front he plays less events hey here's 50 million dollars oh sounds good okay all right i like it was a very i think pretty eye-opening in that particular fashion if you if that makes sense you know well even for Dustin Johnson. Like, they went into it with him,

and that was a different episode later on. But it's like, hey, I got two kids. You know, I've had a lot of success in the PGA. I love what the PGA has done for me. But at the same time, like, you're telling me, would anyone would make more money and work less and not take that? It was a little different because his was that. His was like, more money, less less. He did not take that. His mindset was a little different because his was that.

His was like, more money, less working. Yeah, exactly. The other guys were like. That's what Dustin Johnson said. Yeah, exactly. More of this, good. Keep it simple. Keep it real simple.

Less of this, don't love as much. That's good. I'm going to take that. You would too. Thank you. I've won everything that I've wanted to win. Well, he's a South Carolina guy, so when he won the Masters, it was a massive deal, right?

Yeah. Because he's like, right, that's like an hour drive or something like that. He went to Coastal, I believe. Yeah, and he went to Coastal. Yeah, is that Eastern, ECU? Yeah, it was either ECU. Or Coastal. No, man, it might have been Coastal.

I remember they showed a video of him walking. He looked so cool in the costume. He looked so cool in the costume. So he's won that. He's won other tournaments. He's made money. He's married with kids. He almost made money. He's married with kids. He almost would have been like an early retirement maybe.

Like he might have been an early retirement, but instead he's like, they're giving me, what are we? He wasn't lacking confidence though. His was work less, make more money. Yeah, I'm in. The other two, Poulter and Brooks were like, I don't know if we're going to find making money anymore winning, so let's go make guaranteed money for sure.

Yeah, I think it makes a lot more sense. Well, Mito was another guy, Pereira, that they did at the end. Like, he blew one PGA championship, and you've got to assume that thought goes through your head. Like, I might never get that opportunity going into 18 on Sunday with a chance to win a major. So I might as well take the money that Liv's giving me because if I continue and if I fall off a cliff and suck, Liv's not offering me this amount of money

because I suck at golf again. Yeah, and the PGA's changed, right, because of it all? Oh, yeah. Oh, big time. They've changed a lot. Everybody's making money every weekend you come play. Yes. Right?

For the big guys. Elevated events, yeah. Designated. Big events. You know you're you guaranteed top players going to be at those elevated events like all that stuff yeah so the money should grow yeah marketing for sure the sport will get even bigger i think you know and rory i think who's clearly not a big live just because i think greg and the whole right and the tigers is the leader of the pga Right, and like Tiger's his guy. Rory's the leader of the PGA now. I feel like he's like the captain of the PGA Tour. Yeah, it feels like he is the captain. It feels like Rory is the captain of the PGA.

Like this is the representative. Tiger, if he wants... Tiger's coach, dad, whatever. Yes. And then Rory's just like the captain. He even came out and said, I think it was an internet report that I read, but Rory said like,

it is very clear that Liv's presence was much better for the game of golf. It made the game of golf much better or something like that. And it's like, did not expect to hear that from Rory. No. Did not at all. Especially how this whole thing started. Do you remember the verbal joust it was?

Oh, yeah. And I will still say, you put golf on the weekend on TV, I'm probably going to watch it as simple for sure and i think if they continue to build storylines and like things to be interested in and if people we know are doing stuff you don't have to gas them out you know like watching that full swing i thought to myself these dudes live suck big you know like that these i was actually remember i talked about this on a show where i was like we we've had Jordan Spieth scheduled to come on the show, and he's like canceled last minute both times or three times or whatever it was.

And I'm like, fuck this guy. Yeah, what the hell? And then I watch Full Swing, and I'm like, dude, do not waste any of your tiny amount of time that you have maybe to yourself. They're traveling, working, everything. It's just like a constant pressure grind that you're on. I do not envy that life at all. So if you get less events, more viewers, more money,

like everything about it is potentially great for golf. You know what I mean, AJ? Yeah, but also when we're seeing those guys like Jordan Spieth, Justin, all those guys, like that's the top of the top. We're not seeing the guys that are bad on, even the guys in the corn fury that are driving tournament to tournament not making any money, losing money. Every putt means their life when they're trying to get their card.

We're seeing the guys that have it, the best case scenario, too, that have reached the top. Grind, man. They're grinding out there. What are you going to say, Cole? You remember when JT was on the show that one time? He was standing in the driveway, just got home from a round, and he was waiting to go in and reset and then travel. Yeah, maybe eat dinner.

Yeah, eat dinner. They have sponsored outings and events every day that they have off. They're grinding out there. Massive respect for it. And I do feel like there's a chance that thing where you're just going to give me a bunch of money,

it's in jeopardy. I learned that last week or two weeks ago. I was like, yep. What do you mean? You still got plenty of time. AJ, I watched... What do you got to do before you're 50? AJ.

65. AJ, I've thought that I've played with good golfers before. Okay? Okay. I've thought to myself, like, man, this is cool. I'm getting to golf with. And this guy, oh, I just met this guy. He's a good golfer. man, this is cool. I'm getting to golf with. I just met

this guy. He's a good golfer. This guy's a good golfer. I watched this dude play golf for two days straight at that golf course I went to down there with the Mannings. Peyton's an incredible golfer. Incredible. Eli got this new set of sticks. He's a fucking stick.

From the way the shit was being talked to Eli, sounds like that was not how Eli normally hits the ball. Anomaly, potentially. Sounded like. I do not know. That was my first time ever playing with him. Only played one round.

But that seemed to be a common shit talk that was there. So I kind of got a little bit of a read on it. But the only time I've ever seen eli play golf he's fucking unbelievable at golf okay so those two very good there's this other gentleman from harvard that was golfing dog fucking dog this guy is your pro golfer i think he i he has another job that is uh very he's younger he looked young i don't know how young he is he could who know he looked incredibly young he just he just tore it up or what dude this guy fucking hit a 246 yard four iron over a river with a draw that this is one of the greatest moments i've ever

seen we're sitting there and we're walking the course. Shout out Rose. Shout out my caddy. Shout out Clint, another caddy down there. Shout out Willie, John, everybody down there. A lot of good people. We're walking. Scott, I don't know how many Marlboros this man has smoked. Hell yeah.

Millions. But it is. Reds. Dough. We're just talking about legends down there, all of them. But we're walking, and then this guy's up to go and it is one of the longest par fives i've ever seen and it's set up for you not to be able to get there trees bending like this right and then the green is like back here and there's a river right here

okay 246 is what it was i I overheard the caddy saying, because this dude out drove us the whole time. I mean, we're talking, I hit great drive. This guy's keeping up with this guy, I think. Wow. Like the way he's, now he's shaping this shit though. He's getting farther than me, I'm sure. No, no, no, AJ.

I think you got him distance wise, but I think like he obviously got, he's got a couple more plays than you. You just got that. Oh yeah. Yeah, I don't, I don't shape the ball. I don't tend to shape the ball too much. Yeah, you got the moon ball.

He's doing it. So he was way ahead of us. So we're like just walking up and I overhear Caddy say the thing. And we're bullshit. And we're having a pretty good time with this standpoint. Like we are having a, you get quiet, obviously, for the guy's shot. You're showing some respect or whatever. There's somebody up on the green blowing leaves off of it.

So at his last second, we see him. We go, oh, oh, oh. He goes see oh he goes he goes whoa can we get that guy to move and i'm this is my first acknowledgement that this guy's going for the fucking green yeah so i imagine me like just learning by him talk can you get that guy out of the way up there i'm like get the i said you're going for the fucking green right now he goes yeah get the fuck. I said, you're going for the fucking green right now? He goes, yeah, get the fuck out. Like, mind blown, right? And there's a pretty big audience here. And there's now a scene because we had, guy had headphones on,

so we couldn't tell him anything. We had to wait for him to go. So it's like a 10, 15 second thing. Then he lines up back over the ball. So now guaranteed shank, right? In my head, this guy's not a pro golfer, bro. This is a massive think about peyton and fucking eli are there yeah you know like that's watching that's a massive ordeal this dude

hits the greatest golf shot i've ever seen him on to like eight feet or something like that shapes like actually looks like he's trimming the trees like you know oh yeah sure goes around this thing lands on like the fringe and then rolls like eight feet i've never been more impressed in my life i've watched guys punt balls incredibly kick balls incredibly throw everything like that i was my i stood like in shock for like i give the guy fucking like clap for like the whole time and i felt like i was in a tv like i felt like and it was at that moment aj i, I was walking afterwards, I would never be able to do what that guy just did.

And that guy's not even a pro. You were 100% right. It's impossible to get that great. It's a different world. Those pro golfers on a different planet than everybody else. It's unbelievable. They really are. The amount of time they've committed.

Yeah, and him lining up a putt, you explained, and it was like, okay, how's this guy doing that? and then also being able to putt right after he reaches the green yeah he doesn't take forever like you know awesome this guy sounds amazing and usually these guys are dude fucking legend out of harvard too i'm supposed to hate this guy you know what i mean like i have never ever ever had this in my life. Everything that I've heard and learned and things like that, it's like, yeah, me and this dude are just not the same people. People that have been in this type of guy's world have hated me since like the whole life, whole thing. Like, I mean, interesting how this is going to go.

This dude is a dog. He was awesome. He played lacrosse, I believe. Big, obviously a massive brain. But his putting, he was like very considerate. He was like, he's quick. He was reading it still. And then he'd literally get over the ball, bang, knock it in.

We're out of here with an eagle. Okay. This dude, this is a fake human. I actually thought this guy, Mike McBride was his name. And I don't know if I'm supposed to say his name or not. Mike McBride. This dude is an absolute legend of a human, bro. Like a dog. I was so flustered.

And then I seen him. Then he has a couple cocktails, too. It's like, this dude is all... This guy needs to be our president, I think. I think this is like a type of human that's potentially... I've never met a human like this person. It was unbelievable. Well, then you look at all the guys on the PGA Tour right now

who are really, really, really good. All the top guys, they're all 24 to 29. So those guys aren't just going to get to 45 and be like, all right, fuck it, I'm done. Forget how to play? Yeah, either or. It's like, oh, okay, I've graduated. Now I can go play on the Champions Tour.

I'm still very, very good. I'm going to do this the rest of my life until I can't walk anymore. So I thought to myself, okay, this guy can't be a pro right now because he can't commit his life to it because he has a very successful operation going on over here.

But when he retires, Champions Tour, very much in play. There's been stories of guys that hadn't been able to play in the pros. They get old, they get retired. Yeah, the teacher teacher who was always just like a high school stick college stick ended up getting into teaching played golf and like scrambles and shit dominated obviously and then when he retires like i'm gonna go be a pro and wins yeah it's like what they're so much better than i'll ever be aj so much better than i'll ever be so many shots've hit so many shots, so many putts consistently for years and years and years.

It was a humbling experience. I needed it, though. You know what I mean? I need to fucking watch my mouth. When we're watching the players this weekend, we're going to see some tough shots. Do you yell out? Do you yell out? If you ever went to an event, would you yell out,

Oh, I would have made that putt. You're like those guys standing around the green. So there was a couple of conversations happening at that golf course about which tournaments have you been to? You know, that. Sure. And I've been to one. It was the Open.

It was at Oakmont. Yes, it was. It was on Father's Day, I believe. Yes, it was. Took my dad. Tony and his dad were there. I believe Nick and his dad were there. Unfortunately.

What's that? Well, you had rented a cruise ship on the Allegheny River the day before, and I woke up Sunday morning. I had bought my father U.S. Open tickets for the U.S. Open. I did call him that Father's Day morning and let him know that I was not. Yeah. Oh, no. Dad, your son's going to let you down on Father's Day.

What happened? That was your fault then. Me? Yeah. You could have put a little bit of restraint on. Yeah, I made it. I mean, we lasted. Don't come back to Pittsburgh and during those days, that was full gas,

no brakes. Yeah, we had a good time. We lasted about three holes and my dad was like, alright, let's get out of here. Yeah, we used to have a blast every time we went back to Pittsburgh, but to your point, Nick, like, Tony, you might have knew what we were signing up for going to that. A lot of walking. A lot of walking.

DJ on that one, actually. In the middle of the summer, Tim sure is blazing hot. And did they say, we don't want trees. Is that what they said? We don't want shade. Oakmont for a lot,

a lot of years had trees. And then after the one open or before that open came, they fucking cleared them all out. So golf is one of those things where I enjoy playing it. I love watching it on TV. I think the tournament experience would be a nightmare but i had to do a lot of oh yeah because you'll see like a person hit a shot or something like when old buddy made the 100 foot

putt i was right there like i guess it is a moment i guess they have yeah you've been to a few i assume over there in columbus is it i've been to a few, I assume, over there in Columbus. I've been to the Memorial Tournament. I've been there multiple times. It's cool. Everyone basically, you stand around and try to find where Tiger is on the course. It's kind of what happens. Yeah, if you love golf, it feels like it's something that's interesting. AJ got lost in that one tournament by himself.

I got separated from my group. Oh, yeah, AJ got invited to the Masters. Yeah. And then he did get separated from his group. And the rules down there, what is it? They're not allowed to have – No phone. My phone was – who knows?

My phone was in the car, yeah. So I just sat there and drank beers by myself. With a mask on. Yeah. With a mask on. So much fun. And smoking Stooges with a mask on. Did you ever –

No, I was trying to bum a few Stooges. I didn't bring any in. Trying to bum a few from some people and you got none i think a couple gave me a couple guys gave me a couple cigars and i didn't trust them enough to smoke it weren't where were you at where were you at augusta oh you didn't trust them enough to smoke their cigars well i just didn't you're the best i don't trust if anyone gives me drugs or cigars i tend to not use them yeah that's good you don't know where they came from that's actually a pretty solid thing the cigar though if you're going to ask somebody for one

and then as soon as you get one you say i don't trust them yeah i don't want that's a interesting i need to i'd like i need to like rip a hole in my mask though because that's such a pain to try to do try to smoke a cigar with a mask on. Am I going to put it up in between each puff? Get a zipper one. They were serious down there, though. They were serious if you had your mask down at all. Yeah, because that was whenever they didn't want anything to get ruined at all.

You don't have to worry about that now, AJ. He's at the 15. He's at the 10. He's at the 5. Oh, no. Toilets. Stay in there. What happened? I was out of nowhere, too. I believe Ty

was close to doing what Connor did to his apartment toilet just a few weeks back right there on the stage, I believe. What happened to your toilet, Con? I pooped my pants. I don't know if I was here for that. Oh, no, you weren't.

Oh, my God. You were on the no-cup Buckeye cruise. Yes, I was. First day back. How was everybody's vacation? Ten days, longest we've ever had. I talk about getting sunburned in Hawaii and everything, and then we go around the room, go to Connor.

Connor says, yeah, I went back to Mass, and I came back here. And then he goes, last Tuesday, and he leads out this whole story about how he had a couple tacos and a margarita, and then he shit his brand-new Lululemon pants in his apartment, feet away from his toilet, toilet seat dying, and he shit also on top of toilet seat because he was in the middle of panic, and he had no breaks. Is that the accurate assessment

of what happened? 100% accurate. It took me about two hours to clean my bathroom everywhere because when you do poop on top of a toilet seat, and it's like a waterfall, it splatters everywhere. So it's still, you need to scrape the corners of the walls, you need to scrape everything. Oh no, I did.

That actually, I think it was Thursday of that same week. Right after, obviously, you clean it up. Then Thursday, you go back in for round two rubber cleaning. Detail. Hazmat crew. Hazmat crew. Exactly. For sure. Maybe a professional crew.

Are those the lures that I have, Con Man? The little camo black ones? No. So, like I said, I guess you weren't here But I said when I was home in Massachusetts You know, probably once every year I'll go and buy new clothes And this is part of a new clothes that I just bought It was just the underwear that got affected

But they're filled with shit By the way It's a shame because he was doing everything right Yeah And his butthole repays it He was buying new clothes right not always just dressing like an asshole treating my body you know what i mean yeah doing his thing yeah i don't know why you guys have those emergency situations it seems like that pops up a lot

Does booze make you poop your pants? I don't know. I have no idea. He told me he had bad eggs this morning. Yesterday, I didn't know he had bad eggs. I don't know.

That's why we also need to hire food. We're just door dashing everywhere. You have an oven there, right? Don't you have an oven? We talked about this. We don't have a kitchen. No. I thought there was an oven over there. It's dishwasher microwave yeah there we go dishwasher's good start yeah

Okay, see? Pittsburgh.

Hey, they'll hold the reception in fucking Dublin. What are we? Ohio. What do you think is going to happen? Can you move it closer to me? We're in Indianapolis right now. I mean, it's a celebration of love. of love celebration for nick i'm happy for nick celebration of love thanks aj not that happy that you couldn't come though but you're happy i appreciate it you'll be mentioned definitely

dropping down the ohio power rankings because i believe there's another ohio guy that'll be there oh yeah big hockey guy amen Amen. Oh. Wow. Yeah, he'd kick your fucking ass. Wow. Yes, he would. I agree. Oh, how do you feel about Stipe? Ohio. What about him? He's not invited. No, no. Yeah, Stipe's not. Ruppert is, though. And Nick, we can't

wait to celebrate your love. Thanks, guys. Love, love. But we were talking about Ohio fucks there, and then I saw Ruppert dummy in AJ. Yes. Which in my head, which that would not happen, AJ. I don't think anybody. He's a professional fighter pretty much. Yeah, Rupert could do it.

On ice. So I don't know what he could do on the grass or on earth. I'd assume he'd be pretty good there. So I just start. And then I thought about other Ohio people coming in, Ohio fucks coming in. And then Stipe, he's a full on. Oh, yeah. Firefighter in Ohio, right?

He's the next fight for john jones that's good for him i am so pumped for him he's bigger too now i heard he's up to like 250 something now too he's gained weight has he been working out this whole time like silent assassin you think i mean i would assume so yeah he's been rehabbing whatever he's had going on and been getting jacked he's a firefighter so he has to remain in good shape but i would assume he also is the type of guy who's like i heard everything everybody said about me long term working out i'm i'm pumped for him getting this opportunity now granted like john jones is john jones different animal like but yeah stipe's fucking also a dog chance

got a chance man stipe's got absolute thunder in his right hand, so you never know. Yeah, we shall see. What a fight. But those Ohio fucks, you don't want to be in the middle of it. Yeah, they're absolute dogs. But there's also another video that I saw on the internet. Francis Ngannou was watching, whether he was home or he was with a bunch of buddies, and after John Jones or while John Jones was winning, they were just dying laughing.

So I do wonder if Ngannou kind of woke up and realized, like, okay, there's another guy in the heavyweight division. I haven't beat him yet. Were they laughing about it? I think just because of how easy John Jones made it. Oh, okay, so they were like, well, we were all doing it. Exactly. We all, bingo.

We were all like, that's hilarious. No way. No way this guy just picks right up. Just right up where he left off. Two minutes. No big deal. We're back. Still better than everybody. What a joke. He said the first time he locked in and he heard his neck crack

and he felt like a chiropractor. Realigned his spine. Realigned his spine. And then he got locked in again and as soon as he got it to the point where that neck was going to crack again, that was why there was a quick tap. Because he thinks that Ciro didn't want to experience whatever the fuck just happened again. Break his neck. Which was why there was a quick tap. Because he thinks that Ciro didn't want to experience whatever the fuck just happened again.

Break his neck. Which was, I mean, I understand. I tapped three times in one minute, one session, rolling jujitsu and would never do it again. The guillotine is a weapon, though. That thing fucking, wow. Jon Jones being back is so fun, too. It's similar to when McGregor was fighting,

where you know, hey, every three or four months, there's going to be appointment television on a Saturday night, and that's what it feels like with Jon Jones. Because when him and Stipe fight, that will be, like, leading up that week. Hey, don't forget, Saturday night, we got Stipe and Jon Jones. There's a lot of shit talk going on in the boxing world, too, right, right now? Yeah. Gervonta.

Gervonta Davis. Ryan Garcia. Yeah. Garcia was supposed to be, like, the stud, right? I meanonta. Gervonta Davis. Ryan Garcia. Garcia was supposed to be the stud, right? I mean, he still is. I always saw him videos doing this, right? He's got the hook. Body shots. He's got some body shots. Can you withstand the body shot challenge from

Ryan Garcia? That was when it all kind of took off. He did it to Juju. Yeah, but he wore that thing, right? Everybody puts on that boxing pad that you put on, and then he would punch through it or whatever. And then has he won every single fight? I think so. No, he's gotten beat. Oh, really?

Ryan Garcia, really? I think he has because I know he was like the next thing, and he still is, but I think he's been beat. He is 23-0. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, too, because what you're talking about, alluding to is... He should be bigger then. He should be a bigger...

I thought he was kind of like a star, about to be a superstar. Bingo. And you're saying because he kind of fell off, right? That's what you're saying? I thought he lost. He's only 24. Yeah, so you would assume that he lost. That's me, too, because he, like, disappeared.

He was on my timeline every single day. He was in my life every single day. Holy hell, this dude is incredibly handsome and, appearingly, a dog. This guy's got heavy hands. He's quick. He's confident. He's good. And then he just disappeared.

Why did that happen? I believe he took either a year or 18 months off for mental health purposes. He wanted to kind of take a step back and take care of himself. But I do believe also Gervonta Davis, isn't he undefeated too? I thought combined they're like 59-0 or something. Yeah, he's 28 now. Yeah. Mixed martial arts doing their thing.

I'm sorry, combat sports. Neither party would be happy that they ended up like that. Combat sports doing their thing. Golf doing their thing. Yeah. And the NFL is about to have a massive weekend. Let's get to a break. Hour 3 will be on the other side.

And the NFL is about to have a massive weekend. Let's get to a break. Hour three will be on the other side. AJ, a lot of cap configuring happening around the NFL right now. Ian Rappaport kind of echoed what Lombardi said yesterday. If there's a veteran with a big price tag, they are open to conversation everywhere, pretty much. That's how this part of time of the year is, AJ.

Yeah. Either they can't find a way to trade you or get you to take a big salary reduction, they're going to cut you. That's what it seems like right now. Or there's that other option where they keep you. There's a lot of guys that have been talked about that have been veterans and have had a high price tag that we never find out about

because nothing really materializes. Where a GM goes, maybe, and then they make it up, no, we're not actually going to move on. Remember, this becomes a thing whenever some guys get upset that the GM even answers a phone call about trading them. It's like, are you really committed? This happened, I think, right?

Yeah, was it Aaron Donald? No, it was maybe a Buffalo Beal. I thought it was Donald. Maybe. I don't know. But it was a big-time player, to your point. That was like a pillar of the team. Maybe it's Jets?

I can't remember. Because you have to answer the phone. Oh, yeah. Is it Devin White? I don't remember. Somebody was offended that the general manager answered the phone for a trade conversation. Oh, I remember this.

When they had just signed a deal or something like that and they're like why are you even answering a call or whatever it's like i think that happens a lot yeah like they might ask you about four or five players just the fact that you were in there doesn't mean you're entertaining it brandon bean said he's on the phone as soon as he hears that something's potentially up somewhere asking if somebody's available and who knows what's going to take place they're always trying to wheel and deal especially this time of year. I mean, Harry Roseman says they're there. He didn't say it, but actually people talk about Harry Roseman checks in on everything.

Like, I wouldn't be surprised if how he checked in on Rogers just because why wouldn't he? Because he his whole entire thing is that no matter what the deal is, what's going on, who it is. Yeah. Hey, what's up? Hey, what's going on? How much? How much? How much? How much? How much? How much? How much? How much? How much? How much? How much? And you want to gather information, too, for your future. What do you need to do? I feel like they're just on their phones all day, huh, with other GMs? Yeah. Is that just what it is?

It's got to be, right? I would imagine they want to talk on the phone, too, instead of they want to stay away from text. You don't want to put anything out there that can get published. The voice memo routine. Well, Ty's back in perfect time. Hey, boy, Ty. All right.

Good hustle. I'm happy. I was going to wait for you to come back, but it started getting a little longer. We thought we might have to send a search party in there. I was ready. So it ended up working out perfectly. How are you? Photo finish. It looks light.

Good. You safe now? I know you don't have his gear. A little bacon in there. It's a bad mixture this morning. Is this every day for him? It was there for a bit. It seems like it lightened off.

It's always a possibility. Oh, it's always looming? Is that right? What? Is this every day for you? No, I feel like it's lightened off a little bit since the new move to Thunderdome. Yeah, I mean, yes and no. It is always looming, Tony, to your point.

I mean, it's a very delicate balance. uh yeah i mean yes and no it is always looming tony to your point i mean it just it's a very delicate balance and you kind of need to and for whatever you know you go a couple days without taking a dump you know what what yeah like one or two days you know you don't take a dump just for what i've never experienced that you are a 90 what are you doing backed up that maybe maybe probiotics or something. Listen, pal. You know what? I got the little fiber thing that you put in the water and stir it around. You name it.

But these pills I have that are supposed to alleviate stomach pain, really all they do is they cut through you, and your stomach hurts very bad, and then it just makes you shit your pants. And then when it's done, it's kind of good. Also, it rips the Band-Aid off. Kind of. That thing is...

It's a laxative. That thing's a, we're ending the problem as fast as possible. But we're also going to catch some ricochets here. Exactly. It's not exactly fun, you know, for the hour, hour and a half. Like, I mean... That pill says, hate me now. Love me later.

Absolutely. And Biden, I mean, we are not done that was round one you know two to three days dude could you imagine two to three days like do you yeah i don't know how do you look at the internet what do you mean like usually i sit down the toilet and just search oh yeah where do you find the time yeah The time! That's unbelievable. If I won a day, I'd be very surprised. What the hell is going on? Yeah, worried, actually.

All right, let's move on. Proud of you, Ty. Thank you. All right, Hour 3 will be on the other side. We'll talk about everything that is lingering here around the NFL. Brock Purdy had his surgery today. They went in and put a brace in there. They think he'll be thrown in three months.

So it looked like for a four or five month full recovery as opposed to six to nine. It says six months online right now. Okay, so six months still, which was being reported literally since the beginning. What's Rappaport doing? I don't know. He's still bummed out maybe? All over the place. Did you hear his lack of confidence?

Oh, yes. I'm sure we will touch on it later, but yes. You are 100% right. He needs to, like, this is his, these are the moments when he shines. This is his super. This is why you put on, this is why you lift all them weights. You know, the whole Parcells thing. Exactly.

Because this is when, like, you're right. Hey, I get to show the world all the work that I've been doing for the last 300 days. I think so, too. It's a showcase, Rep. You don't want to get – we're not trying to get through anything. We're trying to thrive. That always bugs me. You guys ever see the high school shirts that said,

I survived Viking two-a-days or whatever? My coaches, I remember in high school, are like, are you kidding me? Why would you ever – we're not here to survive. We're here to get better and thrive. Yeah, thrive. Hell, yeah. That's like people – you you know there's some people i've worked with in the past i've worked everywhere pretty much at this point and got a chance to see how people operate and do things there's some people that are just trying to get through a show like oh

yo let's do it like hey yeah why are you doing it yeah why are we doing it if we just want to get through it yeah let's do this like let's not just get through it like we're gonna have to right we're gonna be here for yeah yeah like we're doing this right we're getting might be dead tomorrow man just do it not only that that's a great way to look at it we should always do that but also like this has to happen right yep so yeah might as well enjoy it's gonna happen i started viewing like kicking like that as well when i go out like yeah have to punt this ball right now. Are we going to enjoy it or are we going to fucking hate it?

Why not enjoy it? Might as well. Let's go ahead and do well. As opposed to just get... What's Ian's problem? I don't know. He's not that type of guy. He was on the crew team. I hope not. Yeah, that's right. Remember he threw a football over the net. So powerful.

Bounced off the wall into a hole on the backside. Came around the back door. That's right. Call us on the 5RNG phone. He needs to fucking shape up. Tighten up. Exactly. Thank you.

He's embarrassing us. He's like a professional downhill skier too, isn't he? Yeah. Yes. Yes, he is. Dude, he is. We're talking about those doubles right what are they called the double black diamond yeah yeah show it like how do you how do you go down the hill what do you do i go straight ahead i ain't got to manipulate your hands on those six

i don't have you tuck them underneath i don't have to swallow them yeah i'm a speed guy and i need that big fucking jump too and guess And guess what? I'm not budging. No. I'm going. Yeah, right there. That's right. That'd be so scary. See, I want to attempt that. I want to do that. Have you ever skied before?

Never. Yeah, one time, one time, one time. But not good. Not good. That seems like another one, though, right? We're just staying there. I've been on the hoverboard. True.

Sure. If you do it enough. Skiing is one of those things. If you do it, you'll get good at it. Enough to do the squirrel suit thing because that's like the closest thing to jumping off a cliff but it seems much safer yeah what do you mean you know that one where they they're fucking their skis are what down 20 yards oh the huge like slalom jump deal and then they do this number here that'd be cool the training have you seen the training place where they do it they jump into a pool that'd be fun yeah i have seen they did that on road down the hill though but if you

miss if you slip up going down that giant hill you're falling off and dying aren't you yeah if you go off the side of that for sure that's the risk you take oh see i didn't even see you i didn't see a single down like okay you fall your ski blasts off. You might twist a knee. I guess falling off the fucking hill would be a thing. Because it does stop. Yeah, it's a cliff. Okay. Maybe we don't do that one.

I'm pressing. That guy should do it, though. Oh, yeah. Great goggles. He's up there in the... He's getting ready for the apreski, I believe. Oh, yeah. Can you zoom in on his phone? See if he has... Yeah, what are the text messages? What's up there he's getting ready for the app race he's zooming on his phone

what are the text messages what's in there who's he texting it to insiders group chat what type of fucking operation is that what app is that what is he doing what the hell

must have some sort of glare hide your penis out? I don't know. They have those? All you're saying is the bottom there is... All right. Let's get out of here. We'll be back in five minutes with phone calls. 1-833...

They have those apps, Tony? How about this? 1-833-432-3663 I assume they do somewhere. Somebody is so jaded by a situation that they created. That's what they built on the internship. I was watching it the other day.

Vince Vaughn, fucking Luke Wilson. On the line. Think about the photos. They wanted to put the pictures on the line. Exchange a gram. That's a great movie. It is good. How about those little nap pods they have? We should get a couple. Exchange a gram. That's a great movie. It is good. How about those little nap pods they have in that thing?

We should get a couple of those around here. That's how we'll maybe make this place better. Need a slide? College places have those. College places have them, like the little nap pod deals and they close over top of you. College football places, right? Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, and then who is it? Someone sitting there, Owen Wilson, goes up to talk to him. Fucking time to nap! Oh, yeah, they're laying down. There's a lot of incredible stuff over there in those big-brained places.

Oh, yeah. They always try to keep it fun. I would see, like, the slide. I'm like, how many times has anybody... Tell me how many times this has ever... That has not been recorded. Every recruit's parents. Every recruit's parents.

That's the only people riding slides. There's a slide in here. I'd go upstairs every day just to slide down. Okay, that's what you said. You're a mark. If you were actually moving, if it was a faster way to get down, like if it was right next to the stairs, you know, okay, I can go to the slide or the stairs.

I'm going slide head first most of the time. Yes, if it was a necessity, right? Yeah. Like if you're going, everyone always, didn't you always want to have the old blank check deal? You have a deal coming from like your bedroom, twisting you around always want to have the old blank check deal? You have a deal coming from your bedroom twisting you around going to the pool?

That's different though. That's a slide that's going into the pool. That's sweet. That's not like one that's in somebody's weight room. You know. Dolphins put that slide in their facility. In their new facility. If this is the Dolphins and I saw it used, it was great.

Whose is this? Stephen Ross, I think, went down it. This is Google. Stephen Ross did go down it. Just walk around Google, see what they're doing. That would be sick, though. If that was the only way to get to the cafeteria, you either got this or an elevator

that's over there in the back. So, pick it. That would be like your only means of transportation was a slide. It would be better than taking this thing. You might have a traffic jam, though. So many people waiting to get down that slide. I don't know.

Look at the tables, the amount of tables they got in there. I'd wait. Who knows? That could be, fuck, this area going straight back that way could be like 150,000 square feet. Yeah. We have no idea. They have so much money.

They have so much. Yeah. So much so much all right let's get to a break hour three will be on the other side some phone calls on the 500 phone line 1-833-4-DUNNEL we should do a giveaway for a phone call maybe a trivia oh that's a good idea we'll do it's cool all right so we'll do a Feel Good Friday trivia with callers. You get it right, merch. Boom. So how do we know? Oh, yeah.

We are never going to be able to find out who these people are. Have them say their Twitter handle right away. Less met answers. Oh, yeah. Hi, what's your name? What's your Twitter handle that will be representing you? Yeah, exactly. It doesn't have to be yours, by the way. You can have your wives.

You can have your wives. You can have your friends. If you don't have... Whatever Twitter handle will be representing you, you will say alongside your introduction. Mm-hmm. Mick can also write it down. Get it right. We have to find trivia questions.

We can do that. That's what we'll do. And this should be a great way to close up the week. And if any breaking news happens, we will certainly chat about it. Ian Rapport needs to cheer up. Let's send him some tweets as well. Be a friend, tell a friend.

Oh! Oh, no! No! What? Oh, no. Rams are planning to release outside linebacker Leonard Floyd today. Per source, says Adam Schefter. Leonard Floyd, Bobby Wagner, Jalen Ramsey,

allegedly on the trade market. Allen Robinson, allegedly on the trade market for the Rams. And now Leonard Floyd has been released. Sean McVay has come out and said that I'm not doing this going back to coaching or going to the broadcast booth every single year story. I am committed to coaching for the long term or something along those lines. I'm committed to not having this become a story every year.

I don't take that lightly. Okay. So I don't know what that means, but it is going to be a story every single year. But I think what he was trying to say is, I'm here through it because it seems like we're going through some tough times over there with the Rams right now.

We're watching the backlash now of going all in. So although we love the way the Rams are operating. Fuck these picks. And although we have been a massive proponent of the thought that the salary cap

is not real. Massive. Massive proponent of the thought that the salary cap is not real, massive, massive proponent of that. Right, it isn't. If they wanted to, they could rework these deals, keep these guys on the team. But that's what has to happen. The guys have to stay on the team and they have to do good. Yeah. And what happened was they had some guys get hurt. Their team stunk.

And now they're staring down a full fucking rebuild. And Sean McVay is like, I am not regretting not taking $20 million to go call 16 games right now. No, I am committed to long-term. Is what that probably felt like. But if you're over there as a Rams fan, what are you thinking with the Matthew Stafford stuff out of Lombardi yesterday? It's like, if you wanted Matthew Stafford, you could trade for Matthew Stafford right now with where the Rams are, how the Rams are.

That's what Lombardi said. And then the Rams came out and said, we're going to rely on Matthew. He's definitely one of our pillars. He's definitely someone we're going to rely on as we remodel this. Says remodel because they aren't bulldozing house down. But Michael Lombardi, who spent a long time in the NFL, knows a lot of people in the nfl firmly believe that if you wanted stafford you could go get him does that mean if you want aaron

donald you go get aaron donald or what does that all mean over there in your eyes aj and what do you think about what the rams are doing with baker mayfield potentially lingering in the background in a full rebuild for the cheap i think the fact fact that McVay had to come out and say this should worry you a little bit as a Rams fan, because then you know they probably had meetings and probably talked to McVay and said, hey, here's the vision, here's where we're going, here's what we're going to have to do.

Kind of sucks. We'll call it a remodel, not a rebuild, but we need to know that you're going to see this through probably. It's not going to be a one- or two-year deal maybe. But also he can sit there and say, look at the Seahawks. Last year we all thought they wouldn't be great. They weren't going to make the playoff. They weren't going to be a one or two year deal maybe but also he can sit there and say look at the Seahawks last year we all thought they wouldn't be great they weren't going to make the play like we're going to do much and they were like the feel-good story for a while I think of the league so maybe they can think like you can use that as an example hey this isn't this doesn't have to be terrible we can

still be a good team yeah and uh rebuilding reloading remodeling is not easy you got to have the right guys at the right spots and the quarterback is one of them. So maybe Matthew Stafford is a guy that they're going to rely on and that's all real and they're committed fully because they are paying him a lot of money. They made a big deal and McVay and Stafford have been very fun and successful to watch together when Stafford's playing. Now he did get what a spinal concussion or something like that contusion which is a very serious injury. spinal concussion or something like that contusion which is a very serious injury he's had a litany of injuries through his career he seemingly does not give a fuck just a big texas boy out there who can throw the shit out of a pigskin but the chargers you know oh yeah they're creeping up in la you know herbert jerseys lose it, if you lose Jalen and all your stars,

I'm not saying all your stars are gone, right? Because if Aaron Donald's there, stars are still there. He's front row Lakers. Cooper Cup. Cooper Cup. Is he, Cooper Cup, still there? They extended him last year, yeah. Okay, so Cooper Cup.

So you still have some stars, but it's like you have two, three losing years, and the stars that everybody's connected to no longer a part of the program it's like is that something they have to think about over there in los angeles aj i i think so i think i think and but don't you think too i i don't know for sure but i know they haven't even started to deal with a lot of like the dead cap stuff that's going to happen with stafford's contract right and that's still going to still kick the can down the future like they still have to work all that out yeah that's a spread out seven year shit or 10 years or whatever the hell they do yeah it's a great play great play by the way until it isn't they gave him that massive extension last year to to spread that out so if they were to get rid of

it now it'd probably be way more money and for like the seattle thing as far as you know we thought seattle was gonna suck seattle at least has an unbelievable resume of players they've drafted that have turned out great. A lot of the Rams pillars aren't home-bred guys. They have built their team through free agency, and that's fine, but it probably makes it a lot more difficult to turn over that new leaf the next year when you don't have picks, and it's not as if they've drafted unbelievably. Yeah, because the young contracts that we just say,

oh, just fill with young contracts, it's tough to find solid those on the streets because a lot of the guys that have those contracts you know fourth fifth sixth seventh round uh picks you know i'm not saying that free agency isn't something but there is like a pool at least yes and they don't have a lot of them but if matthew stafford plays for 10 more years and mcveigh's there for 10 more years yeah yeah they're they're completely okay true there's a tweet coming out about leonard floyd here uh the most recent cut that was worth money this is coming from jordan rodriguez yeah rodriguezue. Jordan, I mean, no disrespect, please. I've never obviously heard your name said.

I have seen you kill it on the internet, though. And obviously, this is one of those tweets. So if I pronounce that wrong, I do apologize. With that being said, Jordan Rodriguez with an incredible piece of information. The Rams recently informed outside linebacker Leonard Floyd that he would either be traded or cut a source said a cut would save only three million in 2023 with a 19 million dollar dead money hit but none of his final two seasons are guaranteed cash move with an eye on 2024 rams very thin at pass rusher a post june 1 cut would mean saving 15 and a half million dollars against the cap but the rams need to get under by the start of the league year.

Fascinating that that's how they chose to get under when they could have saved $15.5 million if you're trying to get under a number that involves numbers 3 million and the numbers 15.5 million. But also Leonard Floyd is available for the start of free agency. They kind of did him a favor with the timing of it all. Go ahead, Tom. That last part is she's saying you can't do a post-June

1 designation. Yeah, because you have to be under. But 3 million and 15 and a half, the other side, there had to be somebody else that you could have potentially reworked. 19 million dead cap, though. That's a lot. Well, this is what's happening with DeAndre Hopkins in Arizona and why it makes sense for the

new GM. DeAndre has two years left, and there's dead cap money for both of them obviously if he was to be moved but if he is traded it's all moved into next year the entire penalty is moved into next year and then 2024 there's no penalty at all so you're pretty much out of a contract that another regime signed in one year completely now you're also out deandre hopkins so that is not that's not good that's not a a great thing you win football you win football games with great players so yeah that's a big part of boom so if you're just talking business wise yeah you're out of a contract you get a fresh slate after this upcoming season but if you're talking like football let's win games wise you're also out deandre hopkins but that's the constant struggle between business and winning

and how both of them have to kind of combine yeah and in the same division so this almost feels like more so for seattle and for the niners like their window is wide open we have more breaking news out of the national football league the dolphins have picked up the fifth year option for tua tanga valoa of the miami dolphins this is obviously huge news coming from Mike Garofalo because since they didn't pick up the fifth-year option, every single quarterback that was potentially available, we had to question whether or not the Miami Dolphins wanted to have them. Well, they weren't committed to it for the long term. They didn't even pick up his fifth-year

option. When does that happen? Never. Even Sam Darnold got his fifth-year option picked up by the Carolina Panthers. They weren't even the team that fucking drafted him. If they had any hope at all that this guy would be the quarterback of the future, they would definitely take up his fifth year option. They did not. So if Lamar Jackson is available to maybe return to South Florida, where he is from, and be the quarterback of his team, those questions are going to get asked quickly. If Aaron Rodgers is available on that wide receiver led offense with so many weapons and McDaniels,

all you got to do is, if you're accurate, you're good. Well, good news. Most accurate guy literally in the history of football is available. Isn't that what McDaniels said? Love the accuracy. Tyreek Hill, why'd you join the Dolphins over the Jets? Love to his accuracy. Well, there's an old guy that maybe just came out of the darkness

that is four-time MVP, COVID MVP, currently playing great football, ready to play great football, and available out of nowhere. Do you want to add him? Those questions have to be asked. Now they pick up the fifth-year option. This is like, all right, they're in on Tua. Let's hope he survives this season healthy. And if he continues to play like he played for, what, the first

13 weeks, maybe? How long was it? They were unbelievable. I assume they got a lot of high hopes for the future. It's kind of surprising, though, isn't it? Like, I did not, I mean, especially when we just see what the Giants did with Danny Dimes. You know, declining his fifth year option, and then basically having him

have a prove-it year and playing for it, and then they make the playoffs. He has one of the better years years best year of his career so far and then instead of having to you know do some sort of massive deal like they i mean granted he's still getting over 40 million but they kind of that's a lot of money yeah that's a lot of money but even like to it like you know if he's if you decline it he's not making 23.2 or whatever and then if he you know gets four concussions next year, then it's like, okay, we can kind of just wipe our hands clean of him. I believe Pac brought this question up off air.

I don't know if he brought it up on air. Hey, he was awesome, AJ, wasn't he? He is awesome. Yeah, he's great. He's great. Yeah, he fits in well. Yeah, Pac is awesome. You should be in the building with him.

We got to make that happen, obviously. He was asking a question like, if're not top 10 yeah long-term business wise yeah is it smart to go like is it better to go in the second round because the fifth year option and then franchise that franchise tag ties you it ties you like for eight years was it eight years seven years eight years until you could potentially re-up if a team wanted to you know yeah if it's for all first rounders like is the bonus at 21 like what's the difference between that and like second round and then when you do the math of what the difference is in the fifth year contract like that would be the way to figure that question out but valid question aj that was a valid question oh yeah if you're confident in yourself and your abilities, yeah,

that's something I would imagine guys that fall out of the top, say you fall out of the first round or something, you could easily, that would make you feel a little better probably in the moment. Like, hey, man, if I go out there and play, I'm going to be hitting the market at the right time earlier than these guys. Kenny Moore was like a free agent after two years. Yeah.

You remember that? He was like undrafted. Yeah, free agent. Came in. Yeah. Killed killed it just fucking killed it and then he got a deal after a second year that would take him to like year six and now we're sitting at like year five when he's very good and other people his age are up you know and he is but i think like the coats are saying yeah but like in year two you got long term deal because you weren't it's uh i believe that is why the kenny more situation is the way it is but it's like that's where it benefited and kind of

cost you know it kind of i guess yeah a little bit of both there we just saw with all the second round wide receivers they all took three year deals debo dk and so then they can then double dip like instead of having to do the whole okay if i do a five-year contract actually what we saw with aj brown and by the time you know this contract's up i'm 29 30 like aj i think it's dk and debo will both be free agents again when they're like 28. Tom? So, say, what did you say, 21st, 20th pick? 20th pick gets $15 million total value with $8 million signing bonus. Okay, $8 million there, I think. Where do you want to go?

Who do you want to compare it to? 34. 34 is $9 million total with a $4.3 million total. Nine? Nine total. 9.8 total with a 4.3 signing bonus. Yeah, so like $5.5 million or whatever. Yeah, definitely do the first one.

No, no. If I'm going to be. Oh, the second one. Yeah, if I'm going to be good, I would want to be a free agent because $5.5. Yeah. You're making up for that. We're going to cover that. I think, right, AJ?

That sounds like the good question, actually, that Pac. He's won six overall. Didn't have to worry about it. This guy won five. You want to go there and go there and, yeah, get – the goal is to get to free agency at a young age multiple times if you can. That's huge. Yeah, so where's for the team?

So the teams think you're really good. They're going to – they have an early pick. They're going to trade back and grab. I know guys come out early because of that. I've talked to guys that came out after their junior year when they're young and they're like, this is good. I'm going to get to a second contract. I'm going to be younger than some other guys. Yeah, age is a big thing for a lot of positions, dude.

It's held against people, for sure. It's held against them. So if you have it still on the player side, you're definitely going to utilize it as leverage. What right now? Quarterback, Stetson, right? Yeah. He's 25. I don't think quarterback position is one that might help him with some teams.

And with Brady. Yeah. Like Brady and Rodgers. Obviously, I'm not saying Stetson Bennett is going to be like that, but the way the game is going, you can play much later into your career. Let's say the way and the game, I guess, because the rules are changing. Remember, though, hey, we're allowed to finish emotionally. That's right.

Sling or slam. Right? Is that what we're allowed to do? Wasn't that talked about? Mm-hmm. When sacking a quarterback, what are we allowed to do? We're not allowed to. You can't sling.

You can't slam. Yeah. We can sling, not slam. Yeah, which is interesting because we should look at the two Cincinnati Bengals concussion. Was that a sling or a slam? Well, there's a lot of them. Yeah.

I assume there's a potential still problem, but I think defensive players are saying, like, thanks for helping us a little bit. Was that a pitch or an actual rule, AJ? Do you remember? That was a pitch. I don't know. I don't know. It's news to me.

Oh, was this the Cuck-Buckeye crew? No Cuck-Buckeye? Oh, yeah, it must have been. This was a competition committee. Do you guys have the internet out? You didn't, huh? Out in the international waters? No, I mean, people, my phone didn't work at all.

I had, we got the Wi-Fi package, but it was come and go. Sometimes it would, sometimes it wouldn't. Yeah, you're on a cruise ship. That's what I thought. Middle of the ocean. That's what that lady said to me, remember? Oh, yeah. You're on an airplane.

Yes, I do. When I said, do you think about maybe turning the Wi-Fi off, turning it back on? I've seen it done before. Successful operation. This is on a commercial plane. This is a commercial plane. Like, hey, it would be fantastic to be able to have Wi-Fi on this flight. It was obviously marketed that there's Wi-Fi on this flight.

It's a long flight. And, you know, I didn't say all these things, but I have been on planes before where they, like, reset it and it, like, works. You know what I mean? Like, I've seen it actually happen. So I pitched that. I'm like, hey, is there any chance we can, you know, maybe take the game out, blow on it, put it back in for the Wi-Fi maybe? I don't think it's working for anybody. I asked a couple people.

I don't think it's working for anybody. It might work. It might not work. You're on an airplane. And then just walked away. I'm like, whoa, she fucking, didn't she? I mean, she so hard on top of me. AJ, this lady was like 67 maybe.

Maybe in her 60s for sure. I don't know how many more flights she had, but after that, she fucking just crammed, dunked on me so hard and then walked off. I literally went, oh, oh,, my God, I just got murdered. All right, let's take a break. On the other side, we have trivia on the 5-Hour Energy phone line. Here we go.

If you get the question right, after introducing yourself as a Twitter account, you will win some merch from the store. I think we had a sale going on, if we still do. I think so. There definitely was. I saw a lot of stuff gone. Yeah. A lot of sold outs.

Upgrade. Yeah. I like to wear the stuff. You know what I mean? I don't think we... The tank tops we have available are... I can't wear them. No, they're not like that one.

both before we went live and while we were chatting about the wonderful five-hour energy. Because Ty has been scouring the internet looking for great trivia questions. We think we figured this out, AJ, and you let us know if you agree or not. Okay. We think we figured this out, AJ, and you let us know if you agree or not. Tung Diggs brought this up because Tung Diggs immediately put himself in the place of a caller and kind of went through it. He said, need a timer because they can just Google it. Okay?

He says E, Isaiah in Orlando, Florida. That is correct. Oh!

Yay! Wow. Congratulations to Isaiah, one for one. I had no idea. I did know that. AJ, you knew that, right? Nope. Oh, I watch Wheel of Fortune.

Yeah, bingo. Wheel of Fortune. Oh, they say that in Wheel of Fortune. Oh, okay. If you're a Wheel of Fortune watcher, E is the go-to. Then S-T if you're going with like... Consonants. Yeah, yeah.

No, yeah, I don't know All right, let's go to the phones. Wait, why? This is way over my head, you book nerd. No, yeah, I don't know it either.

Let's go to the phones. Contestant number two after Isaiah's success. Isaiah D. Dalgala, it's worth. Way to go, Isaiah. We will say to Isaiah right now, Mitt wrote down the Twitter handles while people were on hold. Smart. So that is a lot of dependence upon Mick getting it right.

We would say that we'll go back and check the tape, and Bruce will have to do that. while people were on hold. Smart. So that is a lot of dependence upon getting it right. We would say that we'll go back and check the tape. Yep. And Bruce will have to do that probably a couple times here. No. But we did try to expedite the process. Okay, thank you, Bruce. That made it real.

Good work, Bruce. How do you spell that? Huston? Isaiah. What? Isaiah. I-D. Fuck. Okay.

Oh, that's a tough name. Spell it spelled Delgado Now you're killing him Mitt Keep it going Mitt T-E Delgado Is that where Mitt is during the show? Yeah he's in his hole

Phone cord might be wrapped around his neck How did this happen? What are you doing? Getting proof of life. He's backer? Yeah, he needs to buy dirt. There's not a lot of space in there. We need to take down a wall, I think.

Really? Yeah, I think so. That seems tight. That seems uncomfortably tight there. Has his own AC in there. That's good for him. Oh, he's fine. He doesn't have to live in there.

He certainly has a seat back there. Oh, exactly. He has kind of chosen that this is my cabin. Since day one. We appreciate it. Hey, you're doing great, man. Let's go to the next caller here. Let's go to Shannon in Kansas City.

Once again, trivia question. Ten seconds to answer it. You get it right, you win some merch. Will the merch be great three months from now? We do not know. Couldn't tell you. Maybe. It is now, though.

Damn right. Shannon in Kansas City, what's going on? How are you? What's going on, man? Shannon, just hanging, you know, having a good time, doing a little trivia. It's the first time we've done this in a long time. We used to do something called You Trivia. Here's a trip back in time where the guests would come on,

and we would give them trivia questions about themselves. I'm not saying we created that thing, but this was like six years ago. We were doing this. People were getting things wrong. It kind of like killed the whole thing. It kind of killed the whole, because we didn't want to embarrass anybody or make them look stupid.

I'm happy we got trivia back, Shannon. The first one, Isaiah out of Orlando, Florida. UCF Knight got it right with ease. Shannon, do you feel like you're going to be able to do okay at this, or you got a big brain? Oh, yeah. Come on now.

We're from the Midwest. We're not from the South. We're going to get this one right. Oh! Jesus. A little regional warfare there. We'll find out, Shannon. Good luck.

Ty has a question. Who was the 2018 NFL MVP? Oh, my God. Lamar Jackson. Final answer. Is that Lamar Jackson? Oh, my God. Final answer. Is that Lamar Jackson? Yeah, he did. Oh, boy.

That's got to be tough being from Kansas City. It was Patrick Mahomes. Oh, shit. And you did shit. Oh, my God. Well, well, well. Is that how you are in the Midwest, AJ? I'd have probably guessed Lamar, too. Yeah, I just assumed it was because, like, for me, and Ty, this is my fault because I know you and I appreciate you.

And we had the conversation about what level of question. That first question, I was like, oh, Ty's giving a bunch of fucking easy ones. My wife and I watch a lot of trivia games. The easy ones are not fun. The ones that you got to, like, get pumped to get right. games the easy ones are not fun the ones that you gotta like get pumped to get right i thought lamar jackson was the answer because he's in the middle of the the full talking conversation right now i should have known better i wasn't gonna know yeah with ty yeah ty would throw you off i wasn't saying you think that and i wasn't gonna give him that

one because he was from kansas city i figured he'd know right away but then he said you know how smart he was oh my god all right let's go, my God. See, I should have known that. So the E one was easy because I'm Wheel of Fortune. It was the first one. I just wanted to make sure, you know, we got a crazy one. And what's the process? Exactly. There are some tough ones on here.

Whoever is coming on next, good luck. All right. That's Nick in Texas. You know, everything's bigger in Texas. How about the brains? Where are you from, pal? I'm from Frankston, Texas. How are you from, pal? I'm from Frankston, Texas. How are you doing, Pat?

Hey, keep it moving, Nick. I have no idea where. Are you west? Are you where the Big Green was filmed, that soccer movie? Yeah, Steve Guttenberg. No, sir. I'm from East Texas in Piney Woods. Okay.

Well, we appreciate the hell out of you calling in, Nick. You feel like you've got a big brain? You a good trivia guy? I'm a good trivia guy, but normally I do it with a couple beers in me, so I might be a little nervous. Alright, well, sober Nick down there in Texas. Good luck.

Nick, what is the smallest bone in the human body? Holy sheez. Go through them all, not your dick, Nick. It has to be a bone in your foot. Okay, final answer? That's all I got. It has to be a bone in your foot. Okay. Final answer? That's all I got.

Feels a bit broad. We did not specify on whether or not it had to be. Well, let me see if this is in the foot. It's not a bone in your foot. That is not the answer. Okay, but if the answer is a bone in the foot, we would like to go on record saying we will accept that. For sure.

Future answers, though. we need a little bit more descriptive answers. That is incorrect. You're wrong anyways, Nick. It is the stirrup bone, and it is in the tip of your finger. You need to get all your stirrups down there and figure the fuck out, Nick. Take that pony into a larboard.

I didn't know that answer either, Nick. Good luck out there. We appreciate you listening. Stirrup? That was a tough question there. Jeez. Okay, so you brought the heat. We got a couple. AJ, he brought the heat a little bit there, didn't he? Yeah, who would?

I mean, yeah, I don't know. I had no clue. That one I would not have gone right. Yeah, I had no idea there. I would have went with the bone in your foot, though, too, probably because I would have thought those little meta things. Yeah, man. Metatarsals.

Yeah. AJ, what was your thought? I was thinking something, baby toe, something in your foot. Yeah, same thing like everyone else. Nick was on the right path there for all his layman's. My line went strictly right where yours did. It was straight to penis. Well, yeah. I thought Nick. I was trying to beat Nick

to it. I just assumed that's what Nick was going to do. What a good joke at a merch. Yeah, I think a good call. Good vibes. And if you're close, you know, like if it was bone in the foot. But now that we've said that, if we don't give it to somebody, we're basically saying, yeah, you sucked.

Which is tough. That's going to be a tough thing, AJ. That's what happens when you call into the 500-year-old, like, feel good Friday. Let's go to Brandon in California. What's going on, Brandon? Hey, what's going on, Pat? How are you guys doing today?

All right, keep it moving, Brandon. What part of California? Southern, northern, or like the inland part? Like three states over there, right? Yeah, I'm a SoCal baby through and through. Greater Los Angeles area. Hell yeah. Hell yeah.

Hell yeah, dude. Shout out to the sunshine and snow, right? Didn't you guys have snow or no? Oh Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Hell yeah, dude. Shout out to the sunshine and snow, right? Didn't you guys have snow or no? Oh, yeah. Last week. We had a little bit of snow up a little bit further up,

like high desert area, but not too bad. I saw it by the Hollywood sign. There's a picture of it. I also saw a moon in the Arctic Circle once. That was great. That was cool.

That was great editing. Come on. I fell for that. I was all in on it. I'm like, yeah, probably. Yeah, it makes sense. I was all in That was cool. That was great editing. Come on. I fell for that. I was all in on it. I'm like, yeah, probably. Yeah, it makes sense. I was all in on this thing. I'm like, yeah, that would freak me the fuck out if this was happening out of nowhere.

At once a year. You tell me it's not real? Tone Diggs was very, I wouldn't say close to very disappointed with me this morning that I even alluded normally that's alluded boom that's something that i would be like it looks cool like i am the most gullible person in here man that's neat whoever made that yeah is a genius because when you're up there they get what like 24 hours of daylight 24 hours a night because where they're at bingo and i'm not gonna travel there probably i mean you know what i would like to say i will you know i will go there

someday i just feel like whenever it's time to travel i'm not going to travel there probably. I mean, you know what? I would like to say I will. You know, I will go there someday. I just feel like whenever it's time to travel, I'm not sure I'm going to pick the fucking Arctic Circle. But there's a chance I go up there someday. It's like, that must be what it's like. And then literally Tone almost puked in his fucking mouth looking at me. I've never seen anything like it. But that's incredible editing. Anyways, let's not get distracted here.

Okay. This is a multiple choice question. Brandon in California, good luck. First person was a winner. The last two people have not won. Kansas City, Texas have lost. Florida has won. SoCal is now in the batter's box.

Good luck out there. Brandon, how many Oscars has Tom Cruise won? A, 2, B, 4, two. B, four. C, zero. Or D, five. Let's go with A, two. Final answer. In the nick of time, we started the clock early, too,

because we couldn't deal with the bullshit of him definitely searching while we had to continue to read the elongated question. So you got about five seconds there he says a two i know this is tough to believe and maybe even make your brain explode tom cruise has never won an oscar oh wow i was worried about that yeah i thought he won brandon sorry about it you're confused you're just as confused as i am pal because i thought you were gonna say believe it or not he's only won. I thought that's what you were going with. He's never won an Oscar. Has he been nominated? Oh, yeah.

For what? Jerry Maguire. Oblivion. Magdolia. Yep. Frank T.J. Mackey. Tropic Thunder. Do they have a stunt? Best stunt of the year? No, they're talking about adding something like that, but they haven't.

So Leo never won one, right, for a long time? Yeah, until like recently. In the Revenant. Revenant, yeah. Where he gets eaten by that bear. Oh, yeah, and then he doesn't have it on his back at some point? Mm-hmm. Are you sure?

Spoiler, spoiler, right? Yeah, spoiler. I wanted Brandon to win. How come these actors that make all the money don't have any awards tc don't give a fuck about that no no i understand tc doesn't but like as somebody that's just getting introduced to tc and i've watched like mission impossible now a couple times only a few of them there's 100 i guess he's still filming 13 he just jumped out of a helicopter for it yep right is that the right accurate number uh yeah he's filming what, seven and eight right now.

What's his box office? How many billion? Oh, I have no idea, but it's a lot. A lot. So how is he not? Like, Leo. I just assumed Titanic. Yeah, they just won everything.

I mean, who votes on that stuff anyway, though? You know how it goes. Yeah, awards don't mean shit, but I'm just saying, like, why do people take them so serious over there? You know, because, like, my wife with an award show, here we go. You know, and, like, I even kind of get, like, all right, wow, good for them. Like, but how is it even? Well, that's what I said.

The Oscars have kind of turned into it's, like, whoever has the best promotional wing behind them. So, like, if the studio wants to spend a shitload of money to, like, really promote and push their Oscar status, like, there's a good chance that that person will either get nominated or win, and it won't go to the actual best performer. Oh, so it used to mean something.

For sure. For sure. Because I have a hard time believing it. I'm like, Leo just won, bro? What are we talking about? In the 38 movies where Tom has been the lead, he has the worldwide box office's $8.5 billion.

No awards in his industry, though. That's hilarious. It is a higher honor, though, to bring back the whole film industry, though. I'd say. He put that fucker right on his back and right on his mask. What's-his-name just came up and shook his hand and said, you saved the entire... Scorsese, right? Spielberg. Spielberg.

Same, but different. Yeah. Right. I don't know that world well, please. Jesusesus people will attack me for uh brandon socal everything we just said about the movie business accurate hey i have no clue but real quick all right brandon we ain't got time this is trivia trivia all right you can't get one wrong and then you know that ain't we appreciate you though uh let's go to logan in norman oklahoma here we go to Logan in Norman, Oklahoma. Here we go.

Over here in Norman. What's going on, Logan? What's going on, guys? First time caller. Real excited. Big fan of y'all. Hey, I want to let you know you're a fifth contestant here on this glorious new trivia show that we're starting today. We'll probably be seen sporadically when we remember that we have it in the

future. And we hope you do a great job representing Oklahoma. Texas got it wrong earlier. I know how Boomer! Sooner. I don't know how big of a deal that would be. So Logan, let's go ahead and get this one right for a piece of merch. Ty has your question, pal.

Logan, what is the highest grossing movie of all time? Ooh, is it Avengers Endgame? Merch, Ty has your question, pal. Logan, what is the highest grossing movie of all time? Yes. Ooh, is it Avengers Endgame? Final answer, Logan. There's quite a groan on the other side. Man. And you're out of time.

Nobody cares. So Avengers Endgame is what he says. That is number two. I think we all know what number one is. Yep. Top Gun. It's Avatar. It's Avatar. avatar hell yeah it is the original yeah they actually fucking right we're still doing it they actually brought it back into theater so they would become number one again logan i'm sorry about it pal yeah they did run it before the new avatar came avengers is number two yeah yeah listen it's a culmination of people's lives when jimmy cameron went to that

other planet took pictures of what was going on how everything was going and then came back and they said it took like eight years to get there eight years to get back they all obviously hollywood a little bit it actually took them four years to get there four years to get back and then they just recreated what's happening on another play. People loved it. They did. And they knew. People loved it, didn't they, AJ? They did.

You really loved it. I did. I enjoyed it. I watched the whole thing. But that was my first time ever watching a movie with that type of storyline, if that makes sense. Sure. You know what I mean?

There's other movies that... Is that considered sci-fi? Yeah. Yeah, potentially. Science fiction, yeah, fantasy. It's nonfiction to some people. I was talking about like... Well, that's what...

Yeah, that's... What are we talking about? It is. I was talking about like Dances with Wolves, right? Yeah, you're talking about Pocahontas, Dances with Wolves, et cetera, et cetera.

All those... It's like the same story almost. Yeah. It's like that's the story arc. Oh, okay. I got you. And I've never seen any of those movies so this is my first time really come on jacob yeah yep yeah you know jacob hey let's go so i really bought hook line and sinker into that and also the visuals if you're into some stuff

that i'm in in legal states yep man every time they took a step i saw their whole fucking ground light up i'm like okay need to somehow get wealthy enough that that's like the pool that you have at the house or something like that. It is. Yeah, I enjoyed that movie. Avatar 2, I'm watching the end of it. Oh, here we go. Here we go. Here we go.

Let's go to another contestant here on the show. Have you seen Avatar 2 yet, AJ? I have not. I'm waiting to watch that one at the house. Yeah, when's that happening? Soon, right? Yeah, I would imagine probably pretty soon. All right.

I hate to do this to you, Ty. Mm-hmm. Uh-oh. Let's go to Craig in Iowa. Craig, what part of Iowa are you in, pal? Northeast Iowa. Okay, what con? Lansing.

It's like 1,000 people. It's right on the river. Lansing's very nice. Hell yeah. Hey, let's go, Craig. This guy's a river person. Right on the river the river. Lansing's very nice. Hell yeah. Hey, let's go, Craig. Representing. This guy's a river person. Right on the river up there in Lansing. Hey, we grew

up in a river city as well, pal. We understand what it's all about. Good luck in this trivia question from I'm gonna need it. I'm gonna need it. Whoa. This is the Ian Rappaport thing. Come on. Come on, Craig. Come on, Craig. Get it together, Craig. Get it together, Craig. Get it together, Craig.

Why do you say that, Craig? You don't have the biggest brain or what? What's going on? I mean, I like to think I'm pretty smart. My friends would probably say I'm dumb as a post, but. Oh, so you're the oblivious dumb guy. Nice. Hell yeah.

We like that. Well, I appreciate you calling in here, but then showcasing self-awareness. I'm betting Craig gets it right. Me too. I'm thinking Craig gets it right. Me too. I'm thinking Craig gets it right. Go ahead, Ty. Speaking of brains, Craig, what living animal has the heaviest brain?

Oh, he's on the show. Simple. Elephant. Oh, boy, Craig. Craig. Craig. Craig. Craig.

You got three more seconds. They're dumb as hell, but they're a big-ass animal. Yeah, and they're not dumb as hell. They never forget anything. Craig. Smarter than you, Craig. They're very smart. They are. They are. They're not dumb as hell. They never forget anything. Craig! Smarter than you, Craig. They are. They are. They're way

smarter than me. Craig, you're not dumb as a post, I don't think. You were a little rude to yourself earlier via your friends. What was the right answer? Sperm whale. Oh, jeez. It's the biggest animal there is. How big is their brain? How much does it weigh? I don't have that information. 10,000 pounds. You threw him a slider

there. A little bit. Sperm whale? I would have accepted whale. Whale would have got it done for sure. Those whales are so fucking powerful, dude. I watched... There are a lot of elephants. So big. Dude, I watched one out there in that ocean.

It was the first time I'd seen it do this. Normally, it's just like a... And then the tail would stick up and do like a little splash like oh these fuckers were jumping up out of there yep they're buildings right oh yeah oh yeah how much do they have to to jump and why are they jumping does anybody know show off fun it's fun what do you mean oh that's they're just fucking around out there yeah i mean yeah entertain the people do they see uh do we see killer whales in the wild much

it always seems to be these guys well killer whale down in South Africa killed like 17 great white sharks and only ate the livers allegedly

that happened very recently on the internet 25 brain and this that's it allegedly that scuba diver is the big show well

it's the Big Show. Would have to be with the ratio here. But this is what they need to be doing on NFL Network. This is like a great depiction. That's a fucking whale. Look at how the size of guy in proportion. You know? I think the guy looks too big, too, to be honest.

Well, that's what i'm too that's what we're saying like science i guess is that what that would be science can they see in front of them with their eyes inside like that oh yeah to your point they can't be putting mjd next to rap sheet you're mjd is legend in our book i loveD. But they do have a couple situations that we have seen where they're setting somebody up for failure. Anybody in that position would look,

let alone, boom. How about a rat port at the combine? You see him? Lowering his chair, fucking around? Being an asshole. Little do we know that whenever Master Week comes, push comes to shove, he's going to be pouting around. This is so hard.

But good question, AJ. What do you think? AJ, you think they can see front ahead or only through the side? I mean, do they sense it? Like, how do they? Because look at that. Look at his little eyeball, like halfway back behind his body. They're colorblind.

Is that his eyeball? Okay, they're colorblind. How do we know that they're colorblind? Has anybody asked them? That's what I'm saying. You pull their eye out and then you look through their eye and you can't see color. Because the color couldn't happen in the fucking 20 pounds.

Thanks for clearing that up. But this is the eye you're talking about here. Yep. A little bit of a slit. That's a tough, that's a a slit. That's a tough... That's a long way to get it. That is a long way. That's a long nose.

Imagine how cross-eyed you would have been. It's like, when you have one of those. Bad number you hold. So they're going to only be seeing over here. But they got another one. They got two spotlight cams. Yeah. That's probably what it is.

They're not worried about one in front. Yeah, stay right in front of them. Says they got to angle their head. Yeah. That's probably what it is. You can't see right in front of them. You got to stay right in front of them. Says they got to angle their head to see. Fucking idiots. What are you talking about? Brain's huge. We got a 20-pound brain. How many more questions do you have over there, Ty?

Two. Do you think anybody gets any of them right? One of them is pretty easy, and I feel like one of them you could probably, you've either heard what the answer is or you could find a way to get there. Alright, this is either Devi or Devi. Okay. And it's Long Island, New York. Oh, on the island.

On the island. Devi, Devi, what is the name? It's Devi. Devi. Devi or Devi? Devi, like Debbie does Dallas obviously an incredible reference there

and shout out to you Debbie I'm sure you had to experience that in your life on numerous occasions is that namesake great question AJ okay we shall move on Mitt did not hear Debbie Mitt did not hear Debbie did Mitt did not hear Debbie. Did he hear her Twitter handle, I wonder?

Debbie, what is your Twitter handle if you were to win this and we'd be able to send you some merch? It is at foul queen. Foul queen. Hell yeah. Foul queen. That's classic Long Island. Debbie, like Debbie does Dallas, at foul queen. That's classic Long Island. Debbie does Dallas at foul queen.

Like bird foul or basketball foul or like that's foul. Baseball foul. The bird foul? Like F-A-L, Mad Dog Sports Radio, the Morning Men. Oh, foul. Oh. Holy fuck. That's how I found you boys.

I can't believe I didn't know about you before, Mad Dog, and I'm a total mark for the show. I love you all. That's great. We appreciate you, Debbie. Thank you, Debbie. We appreciate it. Sorry about that.

We have never heard that. The foul, we did know the foul community. Oh, yeah. And that started because somebody said, instead of saying like some, hey, foul, said, hey hey foul in a big moment so then everybody became foul i do believe massive inside community thing for the mad dog radio people right yeah yeah doggy was talking to steve phillips and he wanted to say either philip or foul and he introduced steve phillips he said how you doing foul and it just kind of grew from there so instead of pal we got foul foul queen debbie long island do you think you're going to nation

oh foul nation was born yeah oh i thought like foul nation though like i'm sure that's already taken but uh debbie how do you feel like you're going to do in this trivia contest? I hope Ty's going to... Ty's my favorite, and I'm not just saying that to be a mark, but I love Ty. Come on, Ty. Give her the easy one. Give her the easier one. He cracked me up, and I love him.

Good, Debbie. He did say that there was two different questions left. One was an easy one, one not so much. He just said he's going to go with the easy one. See that? That's business right there. You just did business, Debbie. You just worked the person in charge. Got an easier question.

Now you're going to get it right. Let's go, Debbie on Long Island. Debbie, what is the... I feel like a... Oh, oh, oh. How clean! How clean! Debbie, what is... Oh, oh! oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Oh, two, oh, two.

Okay. All right. We good, Debbie? You ready to go here? Yes. All right. What is the recommended daily amount of water intake for a human being? Oh, I know this one.

An ounces? I'm going to go with 64 ounces a day. Oh, you can say a sentence. You got four seconds about ounces and your weight. You're out of time. Sorry, Debbie. 64 ounces. Debbie, it was an honor to meet you, honestly, and chat with you.

Ty, what was the answer? Love you guys. Love you too, Debbie. It is 64 fluid ounces, so I don't know if you want it. No, she's right. Yeah, she's right. Oh,'s right 100% right Debbie Hold on TB12 told me I gotta drink for my body weight I thought that was like

For however much you weigh You have to have ounces of water It's weird right Because if you sell bottles that are Based on how much you weigh Then you can sell more bottles if you're telling people you have to drink that much. Okay, so you're saying the hydration conversation is one that's maybe been worked and pried at a little bit since the beginning of it all. But the science is 64 fluid ounces?

Yeah, eight ounce glasses of water is what the... Debbie! The foul queen! Hell yeah, Debbie. That was awesome. I thought you were wrong. I thought that was way wrong. Me too.

I would have got that one wrong. Because I thought it was a flip. I thought it was like 120. Yeah, boom. Yeah. There it is. Yeah, we get it, dude. You like water.

Is that real? Eight cups a day. Yep. We get it, dude. Sweet. This fucking guy. I don't know. I've been doing it all wrong.

I've been hydrating the shit out of myself. Not as much as that guy, though. No. Tom Brady lives off a hydrant. What's that, pal? He needs two hands for that thing. Could you imagine strapping that to your waist? Like, how do you?

I've always tried. Debbie, congratulations. Thank you, Mike. We appreciate you, Debbie. Take care, pal. Were you a carry a jug of water guy around? No. Yes, you were.

Really? No, absolutely not. I drink a ton of water, but I've never, I guess, been serious and carried a jug of water around. I've only done it sarcastically. I don't know how people do it. Like, honestly, I don't know how. Paint the ass. Drink water.

Yeah, I've seen people yeah it's okay we know we get it bud you do crossfit we get it yeah or a bodybuilder right jug yeah it's like pretty yeah like the bodybuilders you look at you're like all right that's literally a part of the job that's actually a part of the job like everything like that everything else i get very confused about just the because they say well it's got a latch i'm hooking that fucker up like uh pull my pants down like right here and that's just what yeah i don't know i have no idea what you're supposed to do with it put on your belt what no wearing it sarcastically is the like to aj's point like if you're if you get a gallon jug and

then you start writing on it like hard work plus dedication equals success yep like that's what we do in high school because we would have to do it so you might as well make a joke and a mockery out of this thing like the gallon jug yes like the poland spring gallon water you can get for like two bucks at the gas station then you get a sharpie and you write like today we win and stuff like that on it and you had to finish it every day? Yeah. It was kind of the goal. Sorry, I just got in the toilet, just dumping it in the bathroom. Yeah, definitely a majority. Oh, man, long piss. Nearly everyone wasn't finishing it.

Yeah, I can imagine. Why do we always got to fuck everything up, by the way? That was such good intentions. Hey, drink this water. It's good for you. So I got to carry this thing, heavy-ass thing around all day. I'm not even thirsty right now. I'm going to go to the bathroom.

All right. I chugged that thing. Alright, it was a blast. Thank you for looking out. AJ, you're super, you're not a carry a jug of water guy. I did not expect that. Did you? No. I figured he'd be jugged up all day. Me too. Have you ever seen one? Don't you think one of the times

you ever saw me, I would have a jug of water. I always, I do have usually water with me, but like a normal sized bottle of water. You have them under your desk and you piss in them during the show. Yeah, you got big old jugs under the desk. You love jugs. I figured he was jugged up with a string tank top, fucking some of those. You think The Rock carries?

Rock doesn't carry. Somebody carries for The Rock. The Rock? How does he carry a fucking cold jug around? Well, he definitely has Zo Energy drink, which we have in our refrigerator there. And that sounded like an ad read. It is not. It is.

But as soon as Zito heard it existed, he ordered four pallets. And he was helping out. It's delicious, actually. Oh, yeah. Oosh Juice is great. Oosh Juice is incredible. Oosh Juice. Oosh Juice.

But he probably eats probably every, like, what? Like, 30 minutes. He looks unbelievable. All natural, too. What is your... Some of the Teen Choice Awards. Except an award from Hawaii with his little daughters. They slimed him. Did he send out much mana?

He did, yeah. It was very, like... He mentioned, like, a saying that he has over there in Hawaii. Much mana. Oh, it's... I don't know what that one is. But, yeah. It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Vaya con Dios. Pretty good. Is that what he said on that? Zach Brown said that one. Vaya con Dios means go with God, so he may have said that as well. Point break. Point break. Such a good movie.

You're off tracks a little bit, boys. Let's get back in Last question It is time To see if we'll have another winner Debbie won Isaiah won Will Carlos in Miami win?

Carlos how you doing pal? I'm doing well boys I'm doing well Hey Miami full time? Did you move there? What's it like all day, every day? In my head, it's just like an Instagram post of everybody out having a blast or a scrum in the street somewhere.

Okay, so it's actually flipped. I go to school in Ohio, and I grew up in Miami. Miami of Ohio. No, no, no. In Miami, Florida, but I go to university in Columbus. AJ, that's got to be one of the first times. Has that happened before, AJ? In your knowledge, you're from Ohio.

Has that ever taken place without sports being involved? Carlos, you play sports? I was playing baseball for a second, and then I lost the track of school, and I got a little party heavy. Oh, yeah. Fuck baseball. He also keeps saying university in Ohio. He won't say it.

Where do you go to school? I don't think it's Ohio State in Columbus. It's not. It's not. I go to Denison University. Denison? Yeah. That's a good.

Steve Carell went there, I think. Really? Yes, he did. Wow. Stevie. Hey, everybody. We see Michael Scott's fresh out of Denison. Out of Massachusetts.

It's in Ohio. Yeah, it's in Ohio. Steve Carell. He's from Boston. I think Nardog, too. Nardog went somewhere in Ohio. No, he went to Cornell. Yeah.

Yeah, wake up. Let's go. Okay. And you put Nard, another real person. Carlos, are you going to graduate, or are you just there forever? What's the plan here? You kind of lost track. You said a school.

What's next? You're just in Ohio now? Well, so I went back home for a semester. I came back and now I'm balling. Not a baby. That's what I'm talking about, Carlos. Get it right. Get it tight.

Hey, you know, some people go home there after fucking that up and never come back. You made a decision to turn it around. Good for you, Carlos. Let's go, baby. Let's go. Hey, no problem. Congratulations on that. I hope you win this trivia question that Ty's about to ask you, Carlos.

Carlos, who was the 2013 Super Bowl champion? Oh, shit. Seven seconds. I'm going to go with the San Francisco. Three seconds. 49ers, but if I don't get it, I don't give a fuck. All I'm going to say is free Gumpy. That's all I give a fuck about.

That's really why I'm calling. Hell yeah. Hell yeah, Carlos. Give him the merch. Yeah, you're right, Carlos. I think we have your Twitter. You put out a good message. That was the right answer?

49ers got beat by the Ravens in that Super Bowl. Long return. Potentially possible. Lights went out, right? Beyonce. Yeah, the game was fixed. Lights went out. Ray Lewis' last game.

That's what Ray Lewis said. They didn't want to win. Goodell tried to stop them. I mean, nothing was stopping Flacco that year. I don't know why. So Flacco's mic'd up on that one because they took a safety, then they punt to end that game. Flacco's mic'd up with saying something like,

if this guy starts breaking loose on our sideline, one of us should trip him. Like, actually, because there was no time left, he's mic'd up saying it, and they released that mic'd up thing. I remember that. I was like, all right, Flacco's a dog. Flacco's like, hey, who on the team is, hey, you. If this dude starts, you accidentally, right?

Don't you faint out there? You kind of trip him up or whatever. And I was like, damn. And then they let it out. I was very pumped about it. The Ravens had a miraculous run through Denver, remember? Oh, yeah. They had those deep balls that they were throwing.

That Flacco was uncorking. There were some pass interferences. There were some connections. Jacoby Jones, the returner and wide receiver, he took over. Went to Dancing with the Stars, I believe, immediately after that. Yeah, that was a run by them. Because that was the year that Peyton threw the 55 touchdowns and broke the record, I think, right?

And Baltimore beat him in Denver to go to either the Super Bowl or the AFC Championship. Damn. I thought the year... I could be wrong. Yeah, that might have been Seattle. Might have been the year before. They played Seattle the year that he broke the... I don't know, to be honest.

Nice trip down memory lane right there. 2013 champion, Niners were set. And in my head, I'm like, the Niners haven't won a Super Bowl in a long time. I was just going to say that. The Niners haven't won a Super Bowl in a long time. That was all I was thinking immediately. I completely forgot about the Ravens-Niners game.

Harbaugh-Kaepernick. Yep. Brother versus brother. Hell yeah. That was a big thing. That run by Flacco actually was surgical. He had like 12 touchdowns, no picks. On a contract year.

Yes. 100 million afterwards. And that was in 2012. Why won't they do that? Congratulations, Flacco. Oh, and now we come full circle for the story of everybody. Yeah. Lamar Jackson.

What's going to happen, AJ? Did you hear Ian earlier say, if anybody does anything right now, they're kind of held hostage for like five days, as the Baltimore Ravens have to try to match it and construct it and see if they want to do it they have a five-day window so then if the Ravens match it and you end up not getting Lamar you miss Wednesday and the tampering period of free agency and everything else so it's an interesting timing I guess for it but Ian said he hasn't been able to find a team that's just because everybody's trying to figure it out right now still. I assume something's going to happen there.

You would assume so. AJ, don't you think? Yeah, something has to happen. But, yeah, it makes sense that nothing will happen for the next five days, though, right? Until the legal tampering is open? Yeah, probably for a couple weeks. Yeah, because free agency will affect the draft. Like, right now the Patriots need a tackle, but if they get someone in free agency,

then they're drafted in a completely different position. We have some breaking news out of the New England Patriots. Long time Patriots safety. Devin McCourty has announced his retirement. His brother is currently host on Good Morning Football. He was in last week, I believe, with him.

The McCourty brothers, the McCourty twins have been a fantastic part of the NFL for a very long time. Now they are both retired. Congratulations on a hell of a career. Hell yeah. Love you, Devin. AJ, anything to say about Devin McCourty?

Played longer than his brother, obviously. That's good for him for the rest of his life. But also, he was a player, man. He was a dog for a long time, one place. Yeah, both of them, I feel like, are super highly respected by players and fans. So, yeah, I mean, awesome run by both of them. How many twins like this have done this in the NFL?

So tough just because they're always going to be together. So how many opportunities are there? How many balls are there? How many, you know what I mean? Just to make it alone is crazy, but the fact that they both had really, really good careers too. Yeah, great careers. And they're going to have an impact on football for a long time. He's already on Good Morning Football.

Your thoughts as you lose a leader up there in New England, Connor? Yeah, definitely a massive bummer, but we were actually talking about this yesterday, how when you're a corner and you get later into your career, you move to safety. But Devin McCourty actually his rookie year, drafted in the first round, had like six interceptions, seven interceptions as a corner. And then in his second year, they moved him to safety. And that's kind of been like what he's been for the Patriots his entire career. It's just like a guy who'll do whatever Belichick says.

He was someone that once Brady left, you know, who are the guys when you look around that are still from old regime to kind of pass that culture on to the next generation. It was him. It was Edelman. It was Slater. So definitely going to miss him. Kind of assumed he was gone. He signed a two-year deal two years ago. Like I'd like to finish out my career in New England.

And then obviously, like we were just talking about where free agency affects the draft and everything, you know, you want the Patriots to go after certain guys. Jesse Bates, I think for everyone, is at the top of that list, especially with another young safety, Cal Duggar, playing on the other side. So hopefully that is kind of the transition we get. You guys got money? Yeah, I think we're sixth in cap space right now,

and we haven't really made any moves yet at the moment. And they will. The Patriots will make moves. They've proven that in recent history. Didn't hit on everything, but spent really quickly and in abundance. You were looking at something over there it felt like. You're right. They definitely have

like... Jesse Bates in New England, I don't want that to happen. It's just prototypical. This is a guy that they would bring in. There's a spot missing and he is the perfect fill. There's going to be a lot of this type of stuff happening over the next few days. We'll obviously monitor it all.

When are we going to learn about Aaron's decision, you think, AJ, or what? Great question. It's got to be sometime in – like what's the longest we could have to wait? Monday is when – remember last year where it was like, hey, legal tampering starts Monday and then all these – Yeah, but that's like – oh, yeah, yeah. Everyone actually – a bunch of guys will get signed Monday, so you kind of need to...

Like, if he is going to the Jets and he knows that, he would want to do it as soon as possible so they can be participants in free agency, you would think. Yeah, both of them. Like, if he cares about the Packers, too. All right.

What's going to happen, AJ? I would love to know, honestly. Okay. Don't you think if he knew, we would know? Real rich. What's going to happen, AJ? I would love to know, honestly. Oh, okay. Don't you think if he knew, we would know? Real rich. He knew I think we would know. All right, we gave away some merches. We had a hell of a week.

Gave away some money earlier. Pac was here. He was great. Unbelievable. Debbie got it right. Debbie got it right. Crushed. Isaiah got it right.

Yep. He did. That was a hell of a run. Yeah. It was fun trivia. Not a bad little week. Questions, yeah. Good questions.

I think you did well. Good questions. The E1 scared me. I don't know why I doubted you. You were like post-poop pants, though. Yeah. I didn't know if you were in your best condition. Sure.

I should have known. Morning pickleball boy now all of a sudden. You know what I mean? I should have known you. Great question. Way of a sudden. I should have known you. Way to go, Ty. Good job, Ty. Diggs, big thing that happened this week that made your life better here on the program?

Can I say the truth? Well, I mean, your truth? Get it off your chest. Diggs, what do you got? Like Dana did.

Yeah. There's been a lot of good things happen to me the last few years, okay? Okay. I'd say morning pickleball's top five. All right, here we go. I like to hear that. Hell yeah. It's good news.

Made it worth it. Ty, how about you this week? What is the big thing? And obviously, we all appreciate the pickleball. Yeah, that is 1,000% what I was going to say as well. Oh, the pickleball is really taking the office by storm. It really is. It's just getting up and kind of waking up that way

and getting a sweat in right away. Like, it really does. I mean, you know, sometimes around 3, 30, 4 o'clock, you kind of get that like, oh, shit, if I really wanted to, I could go home and take a nap right now. I do not feel like that. You guys have a little energy. For sure.

I feel great. Waking up earlier, doing more work, having more energy. What's that all about, AJ? It's an all about. Kind of sets the tone for the rest of the day, doesn't it? It does. I was up late last night. Me too.

I was up late last night, and it was like, what is the deal here? I'm supposed to – I thought I wake up early, naturally just go to bed. I have to concentrate on falling asleep though. Tell yourself you're a good sleeper. Tom Segura told me this. Tom Segura, when he did his tour here, he did tour everywhere.

He did two shows a night. The Coming Everywhere tour. He did two shows a night in every city that has ever existed pretty much and when he came to indianapolis he looked unbelievable that was at the beginning of his body transformation now he's like an absolute dough like real deal and i said like i started asking him about it because he had like blueberries there he was eating everything like i'm like so this is what we do every day he said really the big thing is like my sleep like

i i try to sleep good i say like you know what i'm gonna sleep good and then that just like sets everything up and i'm starting to utilize it it's starting to work yeah listen a long time ago to fucking tom's girl the other thing he does is like if it's you know 7 p.m he tells himself hey i'm going to bed in four hours like i have four hours that i'm awake for when it gets to to 11, I'm going to bed. I wonder if he's still doing it. That's a very, that's a, holy shit, Marty Smith just came up on TV. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Fresh haircut.

Calling the Tennessee basketball game down there the SEC championship. He has a orange tie on. He looks fucking remarkable. Is he the sideline guy or is he sitting there at the desk? He was on the court. I mean, he might be in a game. I didn't know he does basketball. Oh, yeah.

He might be a ref. He does it all. I mean, we do not know. We have no idea. Oh, they didn't cut to him afterwards. Let the guy get a sendoff. What the fuck? Come on.

Let him go in and out. He's fucking Marty, dude. What are we doing? Jesus. I'm happy Marty was on TV. Connor, what's the best thing that happened this week program-wise? I mean, you know, Adam Pacman Jones is one of those guys that you talk about when you're, like, younger as, like, that dude's just an absolute weapon.

And now to be 27 years old just talking shit to him, I think that is definitely something I'll pull away for a long time, talk about it about that. And an absolute weapon. Yeah. And an absolute weapon. Yeah, and an absolute weapon. Yeah. That was awesome. AJ, how about you, pal?

Same thing. Pac was awesome. Pac was definitely top of the list. Also, Greeny, great couple weeks for Greeny. I'm excited for him and his excitement for the possibility of landing Aaron Rodgers. So, yeah, we'll continue. Greeny, he didn't say he'd cut his meat off. I gotta make sure that we get that correct.

He alluded to, like, you never know. As we're tying up loose ends here, he didn't say he would cut off his dick. He said it's negotiable, though. Yes. Correct. So he'd give up his house. That's like Derrick Henry, allegedly. Like, you know what I mean?

Now the cook. It's there. Not likely. Negotiable. You can check in. Like, you know what I mean? Now the cook. It's there, not likely, negotiable. You can check in. What are you going to get for it? He's not the only one that feels that way. If he was to go over there and win, I think there's a lot of humans just that happen to live in that area that woke up as Jets fans as kids. They would come out of the woodwork.

Oh, yeah. Just Zach Wilson. He's the only one that does want this to happen. I think he does. He probably does want this. Zach's cool, I think. This whole stadium's not going to boo me every time I fucking walk out here? Well, they're not picking up.

I'm still getting paid, and I get to sit on the bench and watch Aaron. Learn from Aaron. Learn from Aaron. Like Jordan Love, obviously. Is Aaron coming back and play? Is this what's happening? This sounds pretty cool, actually. Pretty cool.

Toilets. That's my favorite. Okay, we had great guests this week. Good call. We had great guests this week good call we had incredible guests this week all right people bomber people stopped by and gave us great d hop was on yeah yeah unbelievable john jopkins was on he never does anything never came on the middle of like a interesting time and everything like that d Dana White came in and cut numerous promos. Unreal. Lambo. Fucking Lambo just said everything

everybody's going to say today, yesterday. That's literally what he did. We had a fantastic week this week of conversations. Ballmer thinking of the toilet number while building a new arena really made me go like,

these fucking bazillionaires think about everything. This is a press conference as he was announcing the Intuit which will be the home of the Los Angeles Clippers. The owner is this man, Steve Ballmer, formerly of Microsoft, I believe, right? Like third or fourth in command. Number two, I believe. Oh, number two.

I believe so. Filthy amount of money. You know, Gates obviously has an absurd amount of cash. He saved the world, bought the world, everything like that. This guy, similar. 65 billion. Just has done it a little bit differently. 65 billion is a lot of money. He is known to grab a thigh, squeeze a thigh.

That's right. He is known to bring energy to a press conference. Pretty cool. Pretty cool. He lives in his own manner. And now he's designing an indoor arena for his basketball team.

And he's thought of literally everything. Toilets. 1160 toilets in Urinal. Hell yeah. Three times the NBA average number of toilets in Urinal. We do not want people waiting in line.

We want them to get back to their damn seats at the end of the half before the game clocks. Hell yeah. Imagine him sitting courtside in his seat beginning of third quarter. Clippers are just getting pounded. Nobody's in the dome. Where the fuck is everybody? Just so mad. Sends one of his people. Where the fuck is everybody? You know, just like so mad. Sends one of his people. Where the fuck

they all go? Where they all go? They go up, they go around the long line out there. Long line. Sorry, Steve. Everybody, I think, is trying to take a shit. I think they're taking a piss in their long lines. Never again, man. Into a dome. Pretty cool. Did you hear his original idea?

No. Every seat to be a toilet. That'd be awesome. I don't know if that's real or not, Zito, is what you're saying. Allegedly, I heard that. Okay, okay, okay. Allegedly. Not a bad idea. With GoPros on them, too.

All right. That seems like a perfect place to get out of here. Pretty creepy. The guy that said that. Good week. It was a great week, AJ. Fun week. What was your favorite part of the week, AJ?

I already said my favorite part, but this Balmer thing, I'm glad you reminded me. It's true. I agree. You should have a billion bathrooms in there. Don't let them wait in line. I thought you were going to say your second favorite thing. What's that? I don't know. You tell me, dude. All of it. I love it all. I thought maybe you would say you love that you know what's going

on in the biggest story that everybody's talking about, and you don't say it. You're in an inside joke with four people. And you've got to sit here and just not laugh at the joke. Thanks a lot. Thank you, AJ. Thank you guys very much.

You did a fantastic job. We'll be back next week. I assume the show will be terrible per ush. We will learn a lot about what's going on around the NFL and also March Madness, right? Oh, yeah. College basketball selection Sunday is happening. Yeah, first four, what, starts Tuesday or Wednesday? Are we going to do

the thing? We did the thing. Oh, the bracket. Are we going to do the thing? Are we doing that? A little challenge. Give out a Bitcoin again? We're not going to do that. Now we can. Now's the time, right? I mean, now would be the time. Or we could just give the winner like a coupon to Bennekins because that's like the same thing as getting a Bitcoin.

That's a cool spot. What's your problem? That thing was $66,000. At the time. At the time. Yeah, it was really cool. What's going to happen with all that? Who knows?

They don't show up in my timeline as much anymore. No. They've gone real quiet. That's probably because they're mining. They're all mining. They got their spunking caps on. Or they're hanging people by doorknobs, but I don't know. What?

Jesus. Why you got to end the week like that? Because I want the people to stay woke. You're an idiot. Thank you to everybody that makes this happen. Thank you to everybody in our lives that allow us to do this for a living, including the beautiful people that watch. We will see you on Overreaction Monday.

Goodbye.
