Hello beautiful people. Welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdome. On this Wednesday, May 31st, that is packed to the gills with championships, the sports program starts right now. Sports! Huge day for sports. Not only because the American Gladiator documentary part one was released last night on ESPN. Hey, I'll tell you what. I was looking forward to learning about that. Six of... 220 pounds of twisted steel and sex appeal. Bingo. Malibu and what he was up to.

Hard times. Yeah, a lot of those guys. Hard times. I started dozing off a little bit in the middle of that thing and it was another gladiator that I used to watch dominate on the television,

taking care of these average Joes who were coming in to try to steal the show, and they would be spearing them and looking like they were actual Greek gods out there. Oh, my God, how are they on the ring so much better than I could ever be? Look at this absolute stallion crew that are superhumans that we should all be trying to. That's Malibu there, too, in L2. L2's Malibu. He was a dog, okay? Malibu was a little personality, too. Hey, he's not living

the same American Gladiator life now, although he did look just as good. The teeth were fantastic. An American Gladiator documentary is not what I thought it was going to be. Not at all. A little bit sadder than I could imagine. Very sad. That was just part one. Maybe part two will be a little babyface turn for how great it was. I'm hoping the American Gladiators will make a return

at some point, but I do believe this documentary might work against that just for long-term effects. We haven't got through it, but sports are still happening. We've got the finals starting tomorrow for the NBA. Then we've got the finals starting for hockey on Saturday. Yes, we do.

Then we have every other game happening. And obviously, South Florida is a massive piece of it. We'll be covering it all as we cover all the NFL stories that are taking place in this beautiful offseason. The NFL never fucking stops. That's why the NFL is always up and to the right. Yep. And whenever it stops, you know, I can't even project the time that that will happen. And I don't think any NFL people are thinking that as well.

We'll stop talking about it. But today we're talking about a couple other things. What's that? Baseball. What? Yeah. Yeah, baseball. Wow, yeah.

Really? Yeah, we're talking baseball. We got Alex Rodriguez on the program. Yeah, A-Rod! A-Rod is on the program. Now, I got a, you know, when you're dealing with somebody like A-Rod, you get a full breakdown. Okay, here is approved titles, okay, for this guy. Okay.

World Series champion. Obviously. CEO of A-Rod Corp. Yep. Okay, that's approved. Yep, makes sense. But we're dealing with a big fucking deal here. Oh, yeah.

This guy obviously known around the baseball community. He used to get good wood on the ball. All the time. He could fucking flip his hips, too, and do this whole thing. He was so good in Seattle and Texas. And obviously goes to the big city, the big market, Yankees. And he serves a one-year suspension for taking juice. Yes.

Which we all assumed everybody was doing. But certainly he was a big part of that whole story. He comes back every day. Gets booed out of the fucking building. Now he's a full baby face somehow. What a ride this guy's life has been. I cannot wait to chat with him in about an hour and 25 minutes. And then in 15 minutes from now, we're talking racing.

Oh, okay. Like F1? No, that's going to be tough to talk about if that Monaco race is what it's normally like. And I don't know what you're all liking. I don't know what everybody's buying into. I guess just the cars. I watch Jay Leno's Car Garage. I watch the Pimp My Ride.

I guess this Hot Wheels thing is like Pimp My Ride, but with a Hot Wheels twist. With AGT. Came on last night after America's Got Talent. They're souping up cars. I just put a skate park in your trunk. I like that. Kind of happening.

That's sweet. Yeah, but it's on like primetime. I'm a big car guy. Love cars. Is Exhibit hosting? Exhibit's not hosting. It's a white with a beard. The guy from The Voice?

Lil Dicky. It's not Lil Dicky. He's also the host of Floor is Lava. I don't know. That guy, Brantledge Wood or something. Bill's this guy's number one fan. What's your problem? Why do you immediately got to bury this guy?

Because I didn't love the guy on Floor is Lava. I thought that was a good concept. It was a good show. And then I watched it and I said, you know what? I don't like this guy. He's not the star of the show, but he thinks he is. Yeah, but first season, it'll get better. Yeah, you're right.

Yeah, it'll get better. The guy will crush it. I thought he was good last night on it. I'd never seen this human before, though. I was very surprised that he had this gig, actually. I'm like, how the fuck did this guy get a hosting job on NBC Prime Time? I thought he was pretty good. It's called Hot Wheels.

I think it's just called Hot Wheels. It's literally the old cars. I saw somebody put a Hemi in the trunk of, I think, a Camaro last night. They're souping up cars. It's pretty... But I like cars. So you would think that, I guess, if you like cars, you just watch racing. Is that why people like F1?

Because they're just like, that guy. Who's that guy? Who's that? I thought his name was like Brant Lidgewood or something. Rutledge Wood. There it is. Rutledge, not Brant Lidge. I don't know.

I didn't know they were hosts either. I thought they were a part of the competition. I thought they were competing against each other. So this is a good... i think it's a good show okay saying all this just to say i like cars sure yeah sure okay i like cars got a lot of them spent too much money on them whenever i said hey i'm gonna get money i want cars like that is something that i want i think pac-man pretty similar yeah breeze i like houses and cars is what i was like you know what what do you what do you want whenever you grow up a big ass fucking house

and a car that is what I'm looking for. And then now you've seen my spending patterns. A few of these, a few of those. Right. A couple of these, a couple of those. A couple of those. Go to a Mecham auction, overpay $70,000 for a Jeep. What?

Yeah, just because you have a Jeep with a Hemi in it all of a sudden. So it's like, I like cars. That F1 race was terrible. But what followed that F1 race, and I assume other races are better. Okay. The Coca-Cola 600? That one. was terrible. But what followed that F1 race, and I assume other races are better. The Coca-Cola 600? I'll go down to Smarty Arties on 286, and I'll watch

two people racing, cruising USA, and they don't even have actual cars there. That race would be more fucking interesting than that Monaco race. Okay. Not bad. Especially if they're in the same race, so that you can actually pass each other. It was like you were watching practice on those, and I assume it's because the track is too small whatever in the if you watch the drive to survive

you probably love all the people behind it it was on the same day as the fuck the race yes which is the indy 500 so you watch the indy 500 following that f1 race and i don't watch a lot of racing but i was like you know what race day i'm gonna watch this monica race i'm like this is terrible almost made me think like oh i'm not'm not going to like the Indy 500. I didn't watch the Indy 500. It's fucking wide open. We got people flipping upside down. We got tires flying out of the place.

We got people going 240 fucking miles an hour. I mean, it is four wide. The guy that won, who's going to be joining us in about 10 minutes or so, Joseph Newgarden, on the final straightaway, he ran his dragon technique, which is like you're trying to make the person stay off your ass. He goes all the way down into pit lane, like 500 yards before maybe the finish line, and then cuts all the way back in front of this thing

while the second place is trying to chase him down. Damn. Because they're all trying to stay right on their tail. It was electrifying, and it was like this race is fucking fantastic, and I don't know how you watch a monaco race in the morning then you watch this race and even think the two are comparable but i guess f1 is considered oh yeah creme de la creme creme de la creme in indycar not so much and even though the indy 500 brings in 300 000 people to the city that we live in and it's always electrifying

it's like this joseph newgarden guy i think is a good champion for the IndyCar series as a whole. Kid out of Tennessee, American dude, good personality, attractive, properly jocked. And he's a dog. He's won their series a couple years back. So we're getting a chance to chat with him. I'm very pumped to talk to him. Because I think, you know, I haven't watched much IndyCar. I haven't watched much F1.

Just on one day they competed, IndyCar blew I haven't watched much F1. Just on one day, they competed. IndyCar blew the fucking breaking. That's a big win. Off of F1, and I think that's a big deal. Monaco's like their Super Bowl. Is it? That's how it seems like when they're talking about it, at least. All those yachts, everyone goes.

It's like the main event. They're going to have to figure out how to get cars to race each other. Yeah. That's time trial. Yeah. Come on. And then you watch Coca-Cola 600. You got Jimmy Johnson getting pit maneuvered by Ross Chastain.

No, was it Ross? No, it was Chase Elliott. Chase Elliott. Chase Elliott, who was on the program, right? Yep. He's been suspended. Suspended. That's bullshit.

They sent him to the sim bin. That's bullshit. Bad guy racing. He's just got to win one race to make the playoffs, though. Yeah, but, bro, 180 mile an hour doing a pit maneuver on people, that's not going to be well-received by anybody. That's pretty dangerous. Come on.

What the boys race. Jimmy Johnson was not happy. He was holding an umbrella whenever he talked about it. God, rear scoop me. I don't even. This is certainly illegal. To a legend. This is a fucking legend.

Certainly illegal, dude. But that had action in it. Yeah, right. That F1 race. There was just nothing. There was nothing, dude. But that had action in it. That F1... There was just nothing. There was nothing, dude. And they're going like... I guess they were going fast at some point because there were some straightaways. But they got like... It's a road course.

Got to gear down. They're going like 30 miles an hour around the bend. Don't love that. What are we watching here? I watched Zito play Mario Kart against some people. So we got Joseph Newgarden in about nine minutes. Can't wait to chat with him.

The Talks of the Table is here at Boston Corner and at Ty Schmidt. Ty, I see you all Yankeed up today. Oh, yeah. Got to be. Got to be. I love A-Rod. I love A-Rod. Did you really love him through the whole thing? Oh, yeah.

There wasn't a lot of people that did, right? Oh, yeah. Most Yankees fans hated his guts big time because he kind of didn't perform that well in the playoffs. He did win a World Series with him. He won two MVPs with him. But, you know, in terms of like when you look back, you realize like, man, A-Rod was so fucking good. Are you kind of a sellout right now saying this? No, no, I don't think so.

I mean, maybe some people say that. But the thing that really did it for me is when he came to the yankees he kind of ingratiated himself right away because they were playing the red sox heated rival hated rival for you know 100 plus years and he gets right into it fucking gets into a fight with the red sox catcher jason veritech like understood the the magna the magnitude of that rivalry and jumped right in a lot of people were saying you know like he doesn't really care he's he's a baseball guy so he cared about the history of that. He earned his pinstripes for me that day. Then on top of it,

winning two MVPs, winning a World Series. That was the last time the Yankees won the World Series. A-Rod was on the team. He's become a babyface too, hasn't he? Yeah. Not much of a fight, but yep. What's that? He just ate mud. He just ate mud. No, I mean, he slugged Veritech right in the face before this.

But then, yeah, Veritech put his palms all over his head. I mean, his mask hasn't moved, but, you know, he slugged. Quite a face wash. Quite a face wash in A-Rod's face. But what you're saying is he knew what he was doing. Oh, yeah, because that happens a lot of times. You know, like a guy will either play for the Yankees or the Red Sox, and then they'll switch teams.

And, like, you know, that's a big deal. That's like a you don't do that kind of thing. But when guys come in, they don't always show, like, the same. It's like, who gives a shit? You know, like, I'm making a bunch of money. I play for the Yankees or I play for the Red Sox. But you get a couple guys who really bought in. We're like, you know what?

No, fuck them. That's the Red Sox. We don't mess around with that. And you didn't think A-Rod would be that guy, but he was from the jump. All right. That's good to hear. And in post, he's gotten into the baseball coverage. He's very good at the baseball coverage.

Oh, yeah, very good. Knows the baseball. Yeah, absolutely. See, I haven't followed his career much, although I know he's an owner of the Timberwolves. I know he's a big-time real estate guy. He's got so much money. So much money.

He had success on baseball, but then I thought everybody on earth hated him in the baseball world there for a bit. That's why I'm so surprised he's back in the baseball media, and he's seemingly beloved by everybody at this point. I think a lot of people realize after the fact now that all the hatred he got for the steroids and the biogenesis stuff, I don't want to say it was bullshit, but they kind of put everything on him. He was one of 120-some guys who tested positive.

I think they tested 1,200 players, and he was one of them, but he was kind of the face some guys who tested positive i think they tested like 1200 players and he was one of them but he was kind of the face of baseball at the time he was the number one pick like unbelievable talent and a lot of people saying like hey you're good enough like you didn't need to do this but there were a bunch of guys who were unbelievable who kind of just skirted away from that and a rod kind of just got all the vitriol from everyone i wonder what the mentals was like for him there you know he's probably so pissed. So you're telling me how many fucking people failed and I'm the only one? Well, you're Alex

Rodriguez. It's a little bit different. He goes, I get it, but can we not say some other fucking names too? Because remember, wasn't there like a bait? Like, oh, there's more names on the list. Those will come out. They never really like the wave almost disappeared. And then those names came and it wasn't really that big of a deal. It was like A-Rod actually took the blunt trauma of that entire thing for the entire sport almost kind of because

he was the only he was the only guy that was still playing like a bunch of those guys you know remember they went to congress and were like in in the courts and everything and it was like mcguire and rafael palmer like guys who were unbelievable but had already retired a rod was still playing and then obviously we saw the uh the screwball thing with like Manny Ramirez, but he wasn't on the same level as A-Rod. So A-Rod really, really took it on the shins from a lot of people. That screwball doc. Yeah.

Geez. Unreal. Wheeze. I mean, that was a Cocaine Cowboys documentary, right? Oh, yeah. And put that thing together? Mm-hmm. Manny would cry at night.

And I'd have to call him and tell him it's going to be okay. Puck him in. We slept in the same hotel room. This seems like a weird... Are we talking about... Are we talking about steroids here? What's going on? I learned a lot about the baseball culture.

I, as a noob outsider, was like, all right, yeah, let's keep giving them steroids. I mean, they're hitting the ball further. A-Rod was great at bat, but that's not good for everybody. And that's not good for the players, which is all we care about. We'll talk to A-Rod about an hour and 15. I'm excited to get your thoughts on another story that kind of took place. One half of the hammer.

Cowboys Tony Diggs is here. And 14-year NFL corner Pac-Man Jones back on the stage. Appreciate you, Pac. Pac, you hear about Aaron Rodgers and Gutkunst. Have you heard about this entire situation with the Packers? It has kind of become a conversation, mostly because when Aaron came on here

and told the whole story about what happened darkness post-darkness thoughts about retirement coming back to play conversations between the packers and aaron rogers the way they were going how they changed i mean that was huge it was rippling news because everybody thought you know the way the packers were going to move on from aaron would go in a fashion but the way it was kind of laid out was like, this is seemingly what Aaron was talking about had been happening for the last couple of decades to a lot of vets who have given a lot

to the Green Bay Packers organization, have done a lot for the Green Bay Packers community, and also appreciate the Green Bay Packers as a whole and being a Green Bay Packer. It's almost like there's never really been a smooth communication line. So Aaron said that Gunther Kuntz's line of communication changed completely pre-darkness versus post-darkness.

Almost as if Gunther Kuntz was thinking to himself, alright, when this guy's fucking Amish, let's really think about what we want to do. And let's have no fear of anything that could possibly happen because the person we're thinking about won't know. What do you mean they won't know?

They're actually in a fucking hole in Oregon with nothing. Nothing. Not even light. Not even a phone. The only time they hear any noise is when there's food coming. 6 p.m. every single day. That's the only thing. So let's really think about this.

And allegedly, the way it sounded to me, and I might have been wrong with the way I was taking it, is post-darkness, before darkness, take your time. Whatever you want to do, we want you back. Post-darkness, nah, we don't want you. And there was no communication, basically, that took place. And Gutekunst came out and said, I tried to reach out to Aaron. It was impossible. We're moving on.

Right? Gave his kind of side of it. I think a lot of people that are Packers fans are thankful that Gutekunst gave his side of it. Everybody kind of was like, all right, that could have happened. And then we just kind of move on. Whatever. Because then there was the FaceTime thing that happened. Then Goods answers again.

Then Aaron now does an interview with Matt Schneidman, who is the Packers beat reporter for the Athletics. Big deal. Schneidman is a big deal in the entire Packers universe. The only reason why we know that is because every time he reports about what happens on Aaron Rodgers Tuesday, it does big numbers. Schneidman has real say. So Aaron chatted with Schneidman, right?

Yeah. And that article dropped today. Yeah, this morning. About the whole situation. Is it going to have any ripple effects in the Green Bay Packers world, or what came out of the interview? I don't know if it'll have ripple effects. I think it kind of – everything played out the way we thought it kind of would.

We knew that, hey, there's a lot of skeletons in this closet for both these guys. They clearly didn't like each other, but Rodgers was still in Green Bay, so they had to make it work um but like the big takeaway was yeah with all the stuff with um gutekin saying like hey i tried i tried i tried to contact him with him i i couldn't i couldn't get uh i couldn't get him on the line you know and so we had to make the decision to move the other way from there and rogers basically said like that's bullshit like anyone knows that full of shit where i live in california like i have no service on my phone kind of what he told us like i have no service on my phone if you want to get in contact with me like my close people know hey you have to facetime me he was like

so he he wants to make it sound like i ghosted him he tried to reach out a bunch he was like that's not that's not the case this is the life that i live exactly he said people know like if i like you we'll talk and he kind of just said that like he's he's trying to do a version of revisionist history because they were ready to move on and now he's trying to make it sound like rogers was kind of the one who who planned this whole thing and kind of forced his way out and rogers basically said like you didn't like that we didn't communicate a bunch, that we didn't talk a bunch, because Rodgers did mention in the article, too, he said that after, remember when he kind of went scorched earth right after he came back and signed the contract?

He did that, like, 30-minute press conference and kind of laid out all of his grievances and all the issues he had with everything with the Packers. He said that, you know, he, like, really challenged the front office, like, hey, I want to change the culture, and we need better lines of communication here. And he russ ball who's the vp of finance i think he said i feel like he's the only one who really took that to heart like he he actually tried to you know he was he was around more he was present more like he was he was willing to listen to what

we were saying he's like i don't really feel like the other guys took that to heart at all so they kind of the the entire time they wanted to move on and now they're trying to package everything is like oh this was me forcing my way out when in reality like they knew all through this season especially with the packers not making the playoffs that their plan was to get him out of there and move on to jordan love anyway fascinating just learn more and more it's all ugly you know yeah i think the reason why it's so important to set the correction right now for both sides is because of how the Brett Favre thing ended.

Exactly. You know? And how the Packers were... Yeah, we're good. I can say that. Yeah. We're good. How about it?

Yeah. Are we sure? Yeah, we are. We're allowed to talk about whatever, too. Yeah. That holds. Mm-hmm. Anyways, now's not the time. No. No, no no but if anything else right you know what i mean yeah exactly but when the brett thing left everybody kind of judged the pack for how ugly

it all was for sure and fans got pissed off about it yep so them trying to be like no this guy wanted to leave keep them baby face is certainly the right thing and aaron's like i i feel like i've built up i got a lot of love for Green Bay. I've done a lot for Green Bay. I'd like to let you know, I didn't fucking just want out of here. It was a interesting thing that happens, I guess, whenever there's a lot of money and a lot of competition and egos and pride and legacies on the table, which is certainly what this is for Gutekunst.

In pack, as we look back on this five years from now, if Aaron goes on to have success at the Jets and Jordan Love has success, it'll just be like what the Colts and Broncos had. When Andrew Luck and Peyton Manning happened, it was like, yeah, it was probably the right decision for both sides. Now, Peyton's better than he ever fucking was. He had more touchdowns

than he ever played. He had a brother record and won a Super Bowl and everything like that. If he was on our team, we'd probably do that as well. Certainly not fun. That does suck. But Andrew Luck had success. So there's a chance that that takes place. We remember this for nothing. But all this drama and petty shit kind of coming out, don't love it. Don't love it.

And I think it's going to be how you pronounce the shit. Just be straight up, bro. We've been listening to the bullshit since the letter that he wrote that was so weak for a guy that's done so much for an organization. That letter was like, all right, yeah, you know, we've been ready to move away from your ass. Boom, let's go. There was no love or nothing in that letter saying that he would have called or had any feelings or anything in there.

How about the Jets flying to Malibu to meet with Aaron? And Green Bay obviously did that the year before. But when you're talking about moving on from quarterback, you just paid hundreds of millions, one, four MVPs and everything like that for you. You would think the conversation would happen. But, hey, people learn that they got cut on Twitter nowadays. It's a whole different world. It's a modern world.

We all got to realize it. Good luck to all parties in there. And I can't wait to see what happens in New York and with Jordan Love. Sucked all parties in there. And I can't wait to see what happens in New York and with Jordan Love. Speaking of new life and new parties, this guy got to experience a brand new party. Hell yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, although he has had a lot of success in the IndyCar Series 2019 champion,

he won his first Indy 500 this past weekend. And he did it in an electrifying fashion. Obviously, there was a red flag with two laps left. He was in second place, made a move, and then finished it off with a dragon technique where he almost ran into fucking pit lane before taking the checkered flag. Ladies and gentlemen, your Indy 500 champion, American Joseph Newgarden.

What's up, dude? Unreal. I love it. You're bringing back the memory so well to me man i love it hey great to see you have success great to see you still crushing it and great to see you again man how is life you've been on a media tour i assume since you've won you've been all over the place have you got to enjoy the fact that you're a fucking indie 500 champion joseph uh it's it is incredible but you know pat you know how special that race is. It's the hardest race in the world to win, and there's so much pressure put on it.

You know, people, they build this event up, and they say if you don't win the Indy 500, then your career is a failure. I don't subscribe to that thesis, but that is the overall view for most people that watch IndyCar or motorsports. And so the weight, I just feel like, has lifted off my shoulders. It's been amazing. It literally hit me 100 feet before the start-finish line. You know, I knew when it was going to happen. It just hit me like a ton of bricks. The emotion, I just can't describe it after, you know, trying for 12 years.

It just made it more sweet. Okay, so you make that play, obviously, you know, down the finish line. Well, the pass, you make the pass. Then you make that play to finish that whole thing. And I thought to myself, myself like i guess it's smart because you're getting them off your air or whatever and that's a slingshot that could happen and i don't know enough about racing but i think i comprehend uh the whole situation why you wouldn't want the person in second and why you would want to be in second for a restart i guess with two laps is like the desirable position or third you want to be you don't want to be in first pretty much is what they said. And

you, whatever the case, you going all the way fucking down there and then almost hitting a wall on the way back. Like that is bananas to think about as you're about to break down about a hundred yards further, because the weight of the world is kind of, are you just locked in? Are you thinking while you're driving? Like when you go to make that move, which is absurd, by the way, when you're about to win your first Indy 500, are you just locked in, blacked out, or how much is happening in your mind while you're doing all that? Because if you sneeze, you're dead.

You accidentally sneeze. You're running into a, for those that didn't watch, he drove while he's about to win the race. Finish line is here. He takes his car, turns that motherfucker basically sideways, He drove while he's about to win the race. Finish line is here. He takes his car, turns that motherfucker basically sideways, goes right towards a wall with another wall this way, and then misses the wall, and then boom, he's the Indy 500 champion.

In second place is Pato, I think it was Pato. I believe who it was. Who was second? Ferrucci. Ferrucci. Marcus Erickson was right behind me. Yeah, he was going to go back-to-back. Sorry, Erickson was going to go back-to-back. There was a lot of change up there. Ferrucci. Marcus Erickson was right behind me. Yeah, he was going to go back-to-back. Sorry, Erickson was going to go back-to-back.

There was a lot of change up there. Ferrucci was up there. Santino, great hair, this fucking guy. I just learned of him. But you make this move where you're going towards a wall. You're a nut job, bro. Are you thinking about any of that? Or what is the thoughts of being safe while making very aggressive plays? Well, look, I was not trying to wreck the car but it certainly

looked that way i i can tell you this i went into this race with the mentality that i'm either i'm either winning the race or this car is not coming back i'm gonna put everything on the line i you have to this is the only way to approach the indy 500 it doesn't matter you know it sounds cheesy it's the ricky bobby quote you know you know you't first or last. But it's indeed that's true. No one cares unless you win the race. So when I was in position there coming off turn four, Erickson still had an amazing run on me. And very easily, if I didn't do anything aggressive, he could have slipped back by me before the line. So I said, I'm going to do as aggressive of a move as possible. I did go into the pit lane entry um and then swerved back out

and just tried to do anything to distract him it's my job to understand the rules and what i did was fully legal a lot of people didn't like it and i understand that but it was legal oh people didn't like it who didn't like i thought you were a psycho i didn't like dislike it well for what for what you said you know it's the safety aspect of it. You say, hey, you're about to enter the pitch. You shouldn't be able to do that. And in a lot of tracks, that gets enforced, that line, where if you commit to a pit lane like that, you have to pit.

You're not allowed to come back on the track. Here, they don't enforce that, and I knew that. So I was going to take as much room away from Erickson to get that slipstream and try and beat him to the line. I mean, it's the Indy 500. You have to do anything to win it. Okay, so let's talk about the Indy 500. And you said that you don't agree with the thesis,

but it is certainly one that is out there that if you don't win the Indy 500, were you even an IndyCar racer? It is kind of a conversation, especially every Indy 500. The amount of celebration that the former champions get every single year forever, I feel like, is a massive piece of it. Why is the Indy 500 the biggest 107

times running is it the fans is it is it just all everything that encompasses it and what did this year mean winning it obviously yeah i think it's you know it's the whole deal that it's the biggest sporting event in the world for a single day you know there's 300 plus thousand people there and it's this mythical mountain that everybody's trying to climb in motorsports. But I don't subscribe to the thesis that you have to win this race to have a successful racing career. It's weird. It's different than football in that you guys, when you're in season, you have a whole championship run up to the Super Bowl, and you hope to make it into the playoffs and make it all the way to the Super Bowl and then ultimately win that. Whereas for us, our

championship is different in that our biggest race is the sixth race of the year. I've got no problem with that. It's just a different structure to it. So even now that I won the biggest race on the calendar, I'm still trying to chase after a championship for the rest of the year. And I find the championship still to be a little more difficult in a lot of ways in that you got to be perfect throughout the whole season. You got to be more diverse in the way that you build race cars and then you excel at tracks. It's just that Indy, it's only one chance every year to win this pressure cooker environment race. And so I'm not taking anything away from that. I'm the biggest Indy 500 fan that you will find, but they're just kind of different categories and i don't like that people want to say you have

to win that one event to be successful well i don't like that people say it but people do say you fucking want it hell yeah all right that's all that's all that's all the done deal now in the in the hierarchy of racing and obviously when i I moved to Indianapolis, I learned about racing as a whole. I didn't really grow up with much racing in my life, whether it be sprint, dirt, mass car, everything. You know, drag, whatever it is, IndyCar. I didn't really know about F1, except for some of the drivers that I had talked to and had some beers with. Maybe it got brought up in conversation that they were talking about, and I of learned of it then this drive to survive thing happens it almost takes like it takes off everywhere i don't know if you saw this they raced their monaco the morning of you guys

doing the any 500 their race was terrible joe it was i am not an f1 i'm not like uh i don't i'm not an avid race car watcher thing you know know, but I tried to watch their race, and it's on the same day as the Indy 500. It was a bad race, naturally a bad race. How do the IndyCar people feel about the growth of F1, and what do you think about IndyCar's current status as a sport in Americana? Still 330,000 people coming to a race.

That is massive business. But in the whole hierarchy of racing, how do you feel about where IndyCar is right now, Joe? Yeah, I mean, seriously, I think our trajectory is good. You know, we are trending up where everything, you know, especially when you look at TV landscape, everything's kind of trending down. You know, the audience is moving to different parts. But I think IndyCar is on the rise again. And for me as a race car driver, I mean this. It is the most competitive form of motorsports. It's where I would want to race because me as an athlete racer, I make more of a difference with my skillset, with the way I

interact with my team. That makes more of a difference in IndyCar racing than it does in Formula One. And that's not to take away from Formula One. Formula One, they talk about it as the pinnacle of motorsports, and it's really the pinnacle of motorsports engineering. It's a manufacturer's championship. It's about who has the best car. And when you show up with the best car, then you're expected to win. In IndyCar, I'm telling you, anybody can win the Indy 500 when you're in that race. You can be on the top team or the bottom team.

It doesn't matter. You can make a huge difference. And so when you're a competitive person, i want to get paid well because i'm excellent at what i do and when you drive an indycar you can prove your excellence and and as a competitor that's essential to everything you do there's some bars right there hey there was some real that was a great answer for that entire thing speaking of being able to win in like competitive juices ty has a question for you yeah Joseph, obviously, you know what you're getting into when you're driving any car, like how dangerous it is and what could happen out there.

But how do you keep your cool and kind of like maintain just like a level mentality when you see all these crashes happening? Like, does that make you think at all? Like, oh, I need to change how I'm racing. Or like, does that even make you like think about your mortality a little bit while you're driving? How do you balance that when you see all this kind of chaos happening around you? Yeah, it's a great question. And honestly, you live in a duality as a driver in that.

On one track of your mind, you have complete care for everyone around you. I genuinely mean that. There's like a brotherhood within this sport in that you've got to take care of your fellow racer just because there's such high risk. When you're running an IndyCar at 240 plus miles an hour at Indianapolis, disaster can happen. It's not just this sport that doesn't have any risk to it. I think that's what makes it exciting, but you've got to run with a little bit of care to your competitor. So when you see accidents like that, the first thing you think is, I hope everybody's okay. You really compare, you know, you care for your competitor, but that duality on the other side, I also think, well, did I just make some positions up? I don't have to worry about

these people anymore. I just gained spots. So it's, it's a really weird thought process that you have. Um, but that's, you know, that's sport. You're. You got to stay locked in. I can tell you at the end of this race too, it's hard to not get emotional. If you're in a position to win it, like those red flags, I was sitting there and there's 330,000 plus people like Pat's talking about. And like, it's hard to not get overwhelmed. You're living in your Superbowl moment and you've just got to stay locked in. So it's a lot of work. You know, everybody, you have to excel at that naturally. Otherwise you wouldn't survive at this level. but it's hard for it to not you know get the most of you a lot of conversations about those red flags joseph and then i heard i forget who the

commentator was which one it was but they're basically like the any 500 owes you nothing is what they're like a lot of people are like oh they should have won this should be a yellow flag or whatever and whenever they did the red flag finish or whatever for the two laps left or whatever, they're like, the Indy 500 owes you. Yeah, right. You've got to go win this thing. Like, I respected that. I appreciated it, and I thought it was an electrifying finish.

Now, there was obviously, what, 198 other laps that took place, but people are going to watch those final two laps forever. You know what I mean? And the moves that both you made and Erickson made and everybody made in those final two laps that was good racing there's people that weren't happy about that though joe did you know that in your were you expecting a red flag with two laps left or did you think there was a chance it would end on a caution well i was hoping we'd get a red flag you know the restart prior to that we had a wreck coming to the restart so we didn't even really get going again. I couldn't imagine the negative impact that the fans at that place would have had if we just circulated for four more laps and finished on kind of a false restart.

You know, for me, that would have been super disappointing. So I was glad they gave us a shootout. You know, IndyCar has really prioritized trying to finish the race under green. And I can tell you this, when you win in that fashion, it means a heck of a lot more. I've won races under yellow. There's nothing wrong with that. In some situations, it has to end that way just because there's no way to restart the race.

But if you can win under green flag, and with the way that we had to race with one lap to go, it's just, that's what people showed up for. That's why they stuck around after the fact. They want to see a great shootout to end the race. So I think IndyCar made the right call on it. Maybe it's just like the Indy 5.

Oh, that'd be awesome. Because the track is two and a half miles, right? Right, two and a half miles. So we just start two laps. Boom. See the entire build up. I want to hear back, home again. In Indy.

I want to do the whole the whole thing the whole thing and then two laps see you at the finish hitting out it was i don't want every race to end like that because obviously i mean to get a red flag something bad has to happen and you guys are going how fast two four how fast you're going to race because i know trials were like 240 or qualities people are going like 240 fucking miles an hour fastest of all time how fast are we going in that race yeah basically I mean you're you know in the toe like you're talking about you'll pick up 10 15 miles per hour so yeah top speed your top gear is 238 240 miles per hour damn Jesus you're like you you get up you know what I mean oh yeah later

Scott Dixon was that how many years ago Scott Dixon went flying what I mean? Scott Dixon, how many years ago? Scott Dixon went flying, right? His car actually... Yeah, turn one, came on the inside walk. Man, he was very lucky if that would have landed a little bit differently. But yeah, he was probably 20 foot in the air when he launched in turn one. So you're a psychopath, you think? All you people that strap yourselves to rockets?

How do you... It blows my mind. I hate heights. I hate flying. You know, they took me up in the Empire State Building to the very top yesterday, and I hated being up there. But I'm so comfortable driving a race car, you know, in concrete walls with all my other competitors at 240.

Like, I don't mind that one bit. But there's just like a screw loose somewhere. You know, it's the same as anybody. Like, football players have this screw loose, too, just in a different way. But you've got to be built for your sport. Yeah, not me. I mean, that's why I chose the kickballs instead of everything else. Last question here for you from Connor.

Yeah, Joe, were you expecting to go into the stands after you won, or was it one of those things where, like you mentioned, you had a lot of emotion going on, and then you looked around and saw everyone having a great time in the stands and said, fuck it, I'm going to go up there and party with them. Dude, I've been planning that ever since I was a rookie 12 years ago. I, you know, I'm a huge fan of the race. I've seen it run so many years.

It's been an honor. And it's a huge privilege just to be in this thing as a driver. I said, if I'm lucky enough to win it, I'm going in the damn crowd. And I've seen Elio climb the fence. I said, I'm going through the fence. I want to be in the energy. And so when I crossed the finish line, I knew exactly where I was parking that car. I was going right to the start finish line. I knew where the access point was. I just, I never thought I'd have the opportunity to do it. And I promised myself, if I get there, I want to feel it. And the only thing that went different. And I, in my mind,

I was like, you know, this is going to be amazing i'll go celebrate with everybody i'm gonna i'm gonna run to the top of the the stadium and i quickly realized when i got on the other side that this got a little out of hand you know could i die out here could i get suffocated and so i celebrated for like 30 seconds and i had to get out of there but it is incredible i mean you can't describe the indy 500 atmosphere-wise. Helmet on, sea of humans around you. So many. And they're all standing taller than you, so you're just staring at everybody's chest. Yeah, I mean, it was obviously legendary.

You weren't going to make it past the fourth step. No shot of it. Congratulations on a big win. I know you have a busy day. Thank you for stopping by, and enjoy the hell out of this year as the champion. Pat, boys, thanks so much for the time. Love to see you in studio.

Keep up the great work. Hey, appreciate you, man. Take care. Joseph Newgarden. Yeah! They're giving us the, uh... Yeah. Yeah.

Gotta go. He's probably gone. Yeah. Clean it up, clown. I assume he's got a lot of interviews. Does he? I don't know. I haven't seen anything he's done.

No, me either, but... No offense. Empire State Building. There it is. They took him up. He rang the bell at the NASDAQ thing. Yeah, that's know. I haven't seen anything he's done. No, me either. No offense. Empire State Building. There it is. They took him up. He rang the bell at the NASDAQ thing. Yeah, that's right. That's cool.

Why do people do that? Bruce, you're a suit. Why is that a thing? Because they act like it's a big thing, but every human I've ever known that has really done anything in New York has basically done it, right? Isn't this... Because there's 300... How many days is it on?

200, 100? The federal holidays, they take off, so like Memorial Day, they were off then. They got somebody banging that thing every single day, because then all of a sudden that dilutes it a little bit. Every day. It's the open market. 9.30 a.m. every morning. And what does that do? You get like a big media put,

because they, every time somebody does that, you're like, that's cool. A lot of it. I don't know. I don't know what happens though. I don't know if it's the closing bell or the opening, but a lot of it's like, if you IPO that day, like we work, you kind of take over the stock exchange and then it's like, yeah, hype up the stock, get it pumping. Got it.

Okay. So maybe IndyCar has a stock or something like that. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, it probably does. Maybe one of his sponsors has a stock. He's that. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, it probably does. Maybe one of his sponsors has a stock. Yeah. He's over there. Because he's doing a full media run.

I haven't seen any of it, though. Just that. Right here. Yeah, and it was awesome. He's great. See how fucking handsome he is? He's good for IndyCar. He's like a good speaker, too.

He's like if you mixed Christian McCaffrey with Hangman. Yeah, he does have that. Yeah, that's a great analysis. And Hangman and him, too. Both love rockets. This is your savior speaking. Oh, my God, what a movie. Shout out, Hangman.

Shout out, Hangman. Imagine he's not there ready. I know. Tom. Yeah, Mav's done. Rooster. Both done. Never to act again.

Aaron Rodgers ain't able to go see T-Swift. No, he's not. Because Rooster's over the ocean somewhere. That's right. South China Sea or wherever it was. Dead. Speaking of. No. Did you see? able to go see t swift no he's not his roosters over the ocean that's right south china sea or wherever it was dead speaking of no did you see oh yeah see yeah speaking of fifth generation fighters there's video coming out of a chinese fighter pilot doing a fucking top gun maverick move in front of one of our surveillance planes that we got flying over there. I would assume they think they're airspace.

Yeah. We're trying to see or something. Bro, this plane turns that son of a bitch sideways and then does a stare like you're watching fucking Maverick. Yeah. It was sweet. Does every country have these things? What are we?

I sure hope so. What I saw was a pilot who thought better and thought, I don't want to do what I thought was a good idea to do, because if I do that, boy, oh, boy, am I in fucking trouble. So you think that surveillance plane. I think the fighter pilot walked up to a bully and said, I better think twice about doing that. So you think it was like a little dance, like, look what I can do. Like, almost wanted to, like, tip the cap.

Yeah, hello, bow about your sensei i hope so i hope so i hope it was like an america's got talent where they viewed oh you guys are surveying things so this is a stage then and they just wanted to showcase what was going on i talked to a man recently i'm not gonna say his name both first and last name and four letters in it uh he said as of right now he's got no worries so he's got no worries i got no worries yeah i mean i would agree with you tony oh jack car maybe i didn't bro look at this video let's go back to the beginning of this thing put it on full screen too rumbling yeah i mean we should this is uh who knows who shot this we'd like to give credit

please don't put a strike so this is just just like in Top Gun, whenever we're waving, doing a point, look at this fucker. Turn that thing sideways. What do you think you're doing? What, bro? That's happening up there? We also don't know. There is a chance that TC is in a fighter jet above this, and I think that guy's oh shit, I gotta fucking get out of here.

We also don't know if that's TC. It could be TC. You know, Mission Impossible, are they still filming? It was International Airspace. So we're dancing a little bit. Yeah, we're dancing. Yeah. All right, no big deal. Well, do-si-do.

We shouldn't worry about that at all. That hits my feet on the internet, though. Oh, my God. Bad news. I'd watch it and say, man, we're going to have to shoot flares. I mean, we're going to... How many flares do we got in this entire thing? I thought I was in a movie right now.

Well, on that, our plane or whatever, whoever was filming on our side of the plane, did not look as cool as what they were doing, too. So that was the big one. Yeah, we got our basic-ass surveillance plane up there. Just... Yeah, Wright Brothers. Things like a hawker up there. Yeah.

And they're zooming by. And then they're just dancing. And then that person who was ever flying that plane they're landing on a carrier or whatever wait till you hear about what i i got nothing i just fuck it yeah i turned i did our little whirlybird and then gave a that's what i thought survey this bitch and then i'm out when did you get four minutes ago just four minutes ago they're up there we should we send more up there? We probably landed immediately after, right?

I hope. Turn around. Go back. Because you never know. We're from the US of A. What is that? We run towards the fire. What are you talking about?

Sounds like communist corner. Fight's on. If you're in North China and you're driving a South China Sea. Oh, excuse me. South China and you're flying a security drone, security plane, and you see a fighter jet from China fly in front of you. No, you don't want four more. Oh, you're saying you brought a rock to a gunfight.

Bingo. You're not bringing a security plane. Well, we didn't run. If they called TC. Exactly. Scramble the jet. Yeah, that'd be one thing. TC, Brewster, Hangman, they're on ready five.

To be clear, I don't think our surveillance plane could run from said. Probably not. Probably not. Kind of like, is this a brown bear? Is this a black bear? Are we supposed to act dead? Are we supposed to run towards it? Make yourself big.

Flop the wings out, maybe. I think they were trying to assess that. What type of bear is this out here? Happy everybody seems to be okay, though. Make yourself big. Flop the wings out maybe. I think they were trying to assess that. What type of bear is this out here? Happy everybody seems to be okay though. And congrats to technology. You guys thought ours being able to certainly do what they do in the movies. UFO front has been pretty quiet. Actually, there was supposed to be a briefing at 10.30am

today, I believe. I was tagged in it by someone on Twitter. Mike Gallagher? Sounded so professional. Did he not? AJ briefing. The NASA's UFO research team to brief the public on Wednesday at 10.30 a.m. according to the Wall Street Journal.

So that was this morning. All right, let's all keep our eyes peeled. That's right. Okay. But if I'm seeing that plane do that, and they're telling me that that TikTok thing that would be pulling like 10,000 Gs going however fast it would be going, and they're saying that might be international aircraft or whatever.

It's like, well, if they got that, do we? Yeah. Do we got that? That's bad news if we don't. I'm assuming we do. Assuming we got that. This video is 17 minutes, so. I'm sure they said a lot.

Let's go to some sports news. Shout out to Joseph Newgarden winning that whole thing. Let's keep an eye out for the aliens. Yeah. All right, to the sky. Yep. We're sports people, but also, if extraterrestrials start walking around, let's fucking keep everybody informed.

You see something, say something. Ain't that right, Pac? Maybe we could use a good alien attack. What's that? We could use a good alien attack so that us... Tony, what the hell's wrong with us? You're saying a lot of things, Tony. I'm saying it'll unite the world.

We don't have to worry about the Chinese fighter jets anymore because we're fighting together. Yeah, you're right. You're 100% right. Thank you. But we don't need to lose anybody. Yeah, we're not sure that's a battle we can win. You know what we need?

We need one motivational speech from one great motivational speaker. Who's that? Michael Lombardi. Gary Vee. The president from Men in Black. Not Men in Black. Independence Day. Independence Day. Gary Vee. The president from Men in Black. Not Men in Black. Independence Day. Independence Day.

Bill Pullman. Are there any unifiers out there, though? No. Honestly, is there any? I don't even know if an attack would do it. The Rock. He's the only one. He might.

I think you're right. I mean, we do have one unifier that would help, especially that situation you know jowl cena he'd come in and basically unite two of the strongest countries yeah tinker yeah he can speak fluent both mandarin yep yeah seen in the rock in the middle of a ring and they're both cutting from like basically the rock has a united states shirt on like we had the heat one on whenever Cole was wearing the Celtics. And then John's wearing the China tank top. He's U.S. too because he did announce the killing of Ben Laden. So he's been wearing a split jersey like Kelsey's mom was wearing.

Or like the inside of his. I think they're both, in this situation, I think they're both wearing world uniforms. Then they're a tag team? Well, if you want some cheap heat, though, Cena could do like the old Sting wolf pack and rip the NWO shirt, and he's got a Chinese singlet on him. And he's coming down from the rackers.

Here we go. He's actually getting dropped in from that plane. Yep. Cena hops out the bottom of it like that plane's taking a shit. Yep. Boom. All right. That'd be sweet.

Anyways, we want everybody to come together. Let's all make the world a better place. Let's all have best intentions for everybody all the time. Exactly. That's what want everybody to come together. Let's all make the world a better place. Let's all have best intentions for everybody all the time. Exactly. That's what we like. And let's just assume that everybody else feels the exact same way and that love is everywhere. It's not that hard. Especially in America. It's not that hard. Hell yeah.

Let's have a good time. Let's not look too deep into things because then you start getting real miserable and scared about everything. Yep. Definitely. Let's just live in our own world. Shout out to the Island Boys. Stay in your lane. They are not. The Island Boys are not. That's not true. That was them.

They came out and said it's not them. That's why they're named the Island Boys. Unless it's a good AI photo, it looked just like them to me. Yeah, you're telling me the two kids known as the Island Boys didn't want people to know. Oh, this is cute. You guys are Maury Povich. You guys are guessing who's the dad because of

pictures of children. Look at them. They look exactly like the Island Boys without tattoos and weird fucking hair. Anyways, this is a real story happening in the current moment. The Island Boys have been burned. They took over the internet.

Everybody quickly hated them immediately afterwards. They found themselves as heels everywhere. That's how it goes. Bingo. That's how the internet everybody quickly hated them immediately afterwards they found themselves as heels everywhere that's how it goes they did not bingo that's how the internet goes they're getting booed out of arenas haven't heard from about a year or so no they did drop an album and now they're potentially from epstein island boys is what the internet was saying i mean if they wanted to kind of double up on that success, just a quick remix, like, I'm going to just smooch Jeff's don. Like, if they just did something like that, that would be sick. It would be. They could do a whole album.

You're talking about one of the worst. Strike while the iron's hot. Hey, real quick. How come we have not learned anything about this? This is like the worst human of all time, they're saying. One of the worst, like, of all time. Believe me, conspiracy Twitter. Conspiracy Twitter's been very hot

about the lists and all these things and how they're... Yeah, I know. Aaron brought it up in our fucking interview. Yeah, exactly. We got 490-some thousand people looking. Hey, you're so... I'm like, is that real? We have no idea. Anyways, the Island Boys are coming out saying that is not true, which is good.

Although that remix has legs. I mean, they could certainly get some quick clicks if they'd like. And maybe Babyface, too, because if they were obviously something terrible. Once again, we hope everybody's all right. AJ will know more. Bingo. Can't wait for him to join us in about 11 minutes. Got a good question about David Bakhtiari for AJ Hawk.

We'll get into that. The Vikings have paid off their debt on U.S. Bank Stadium 23 years early. We'll save the Minnesota taxpayers $226 million in an interest loan. Wow. Wow. Man. Wow. That's very nice of the Minnesota Vikings, obviously, doing that.

Good for business for them, too, because now they outright own the stadium. So any events that take place there, they receive every single dollar. Don't have to split it with anybody, I would assume, because that's how public funding goes. Well, if we publicly fund something, then we're going to want a piece of it. That's just how it goes. If our money's in there,

then we're going to make money back off of that thing. The Indianapolis Colts do not own this stadium. The city of Indianapolis does. So whenever there's a potential neutral field AFC championship game that needs to be scheduled, and there's also a volleyball tournament in Lucas Oil Stadium. It's not the Colts voting on whether or not it's the AFC championship

or a volleyball tournament. It's the actual city of Indianapolis voting on whether or not it's a volleyball tournament or the AFC championship game. We all saw how that went. Indianapolis voted for the volleyball game, even though the neutral site game never took place. It would not have happened in Indianapolis, where it allegedly could have taken place, which would have been really cool for season

ticket holders very and everything like that but indianapolis didn't have that thought indianapolis thought to themselves are the colts gonna be afc championship game in the next few years maybe but we do know this fucking volleyball tournament is going to be here every single year for at least the foreseeable future and there's 40 000 people coming to the city so they make that decision in their eyes that is the good one where now the Minnesota Vikings get to make every single decision about their building and I would assume that's going to end up being very good for them business-wise I hope everybody starts doing this Pac-Man especially with how much money is being dumped into the NFL you can get rid of your debts quickly and if you think about business getting rid of your debt means a payment out, being taken away.

Now you get to keep all that money. I love what they're doing here, Pac-Man. Yeah, and that means business is booming for the Vikings. And another thing, for Minnesota, weed is legal. So congratulations. Yeah. Hell yeah. It's a great day.

Today? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Today. Congratulations, Minnesota. How about. It's a great day. Today? Yeah. They passed it today. Congratulations, Minnesota. How about it? There he is.

Mr. Minnesota. There he is. That's the guy. The governor of Minnesota signed a marijuana legislation bill into law. Minnesota becomes the 23rd state to end cannabis prohibition. Hell yeah. Way to go, guy. How about it?

Good move, big man. This guy fucking said he'd do it, and he did. And he did. Didn't he? He did. Tim Walls said, let me figure this thing out. I'm going to break down these walls. I'm Tim Walls. The walls that I'm speaking about right now,

cannabis prohibition. Because if you go back to the early days of cannabis prohibition it was legal legal legal then he couldn't take it across state lines and that became the big problem and then they started cracking down on in-state and then all of a sudden we lose out on a natural plant that has a lot of benefits for a lot of people on it yes all because there's potentially a political agenda behind it nope i don't want to get into it definitely don't know anything about it i think you can just watch some documentaries about it whole thing but now that we're getting more science and studies and obviously people are

seeing the effect of some pharma stuff not all pharma stuff hell i take advil pm every single night i know there's some good out there i ain't let's not get crazy but there's also a lot of things that happen and take place where maybe there's a natural ailment that's been around from our earth for a long time that can kind of soothe some of these issues that we have in society and if we regulate it right, monitor it right, we can also profit from it. Holy shit! Whoa, whoa.

Congratulations, Minnesota. Yeah. Fun fact, that guy was actually Ragnar the Viking who rode out on the motorcycle for Vikings games before he became the governor. Well, they would say that Ragnar, the original Viking, was a poor negotiator. Yes.

This feels like this particular move would take a good negotiator, so it appears as if Ragnar got a lot better at negotiating. Like Rainwater. Well, Rainwater needs to get a little bit better. Yeah, Rainwater's, you know, he's on the ropes. Rainwater's the guy in Indiana that's trying to do it. Mr. Walls. Big Walls.

Mr. Walls did. But he ain't ever going to get voted in, I don't think, with the Hawaiian shirt he wore last year during the gubernatorial debates. Yeah, no chance. You talk about that and also $226 million not having to come out of taxes. Big money day for Minnesota. Yeah, huge. And I think the NFLPA thing with the facilities and everything,

they just built a brand-new, beautiful practice facility and everything. So things are really looking up for the Vikings. Something just happened with the NFL and $41 million in the NFLPA. You sent something. Was that you? Yeah, I saw a headline. I was up this morning. Tone was up this morning.

It was like 5-something a.m. Group text gets active all of a sudden. It's Tone Diggs sending shit in. And then one of the things he said is the NFL, the NFLPA, in a payment of $41.3 million due to crypto collapses is still due or on the books for somebody. I don't know exactly what it was, but I saw you were diving into

it at 5.30 a.m. So it must mean something, Todd. Well, the baby's about to wake up, so I wake up just so I can open my eyes for like 15 minutes before I'm right into it. Smart. I'm at the stage where we're still up. And wife kicking ass right now um but the headline the headline caught my eye that the nflpa lost or hasn't received 41 million dollars yet because of the nfts and and all that that whole crash so in my head was i fucking hate nfts what the nflpa we don't know if we love them so i said i

sent in the headline and then i said well we do know i don't know about you i i do know and then we started then i started reading the article and it got a bit deep and in the muddy waters that i wasn't able to swim through um so that's lost out on is basically sounds like they're not be able to collect on it because it vanished with Tom Brady's FTX. I think this was more like remember when NBA Top Shot was coming to the NFL. We still got his eye on. Oh yeah, we had that person on our

show. Remember how smart they were? Oh my God, he was so smart. Dapper Labs, that's what it was. Dapper Labs fucked over the NFLPA for $40-some million? What? Is that what you're saying? Yes. Yeah. What?

Allegedly? Allegedly. That company or just like that idea? That guy? Yeah. I mean, when we were talking to him, I was... So it was one team partners. He didn't have all the answers.

It was one team partners. They were expected to collect or expected around 60 mil from Dapper and DraftKings. Of that, 41 mil would have gone to the NFLPA. And one team, the kind of third party, was unable to collect. Oh, so the projected numbers. This is all off projected numbers, not guaranteed numbers. Yeah, expected around 60 mil. Hey, can we have 4X those living pluses?

Yeah, exactly. Right? Get these people to really buy in here. Well, Tony says. 40, 60 million, yeah. Why not? Why not? Projected, $60 million, yeah. Why not? Projected, projected. That's how Williamson just went for $150.

Sorry, Connor, go ahead. No, no, my bad. Speaking of 5X in numbers, Tony sent in something yesterday where people weren't 5X in numbers anymore, it looked like. Where at? It was, you know, one of the places out there that has sports talk on it.

Oh, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. I don't know either. Numbers are interesting right now. Oh, yeah. You got to scroll up. I think it was during the show yesterday or right after. The numbers are incredibly interesting right now. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.

So was it like the best day in history? Especially time frames. Yeah. Every day is the best day in history for everybody somehow. Exactly. I don't know how it works. I don't know how it works. I don't know how it works. We're trying to figure it out, though.

Yeah. We like to let everybody know. We are trying to figure out how everybody has their best day they've ever had all the time every day. It's crazy. That is wild. Yeah, it is nuts. It's wild. 2023 is awesome.

Yeah. Seems like every day somebody's awesome. Somebody's doing better than they've ever done. Projections are always up and to the right. It's amazing how that whole thing works. There was another headline that had some more numbers in it about us. Oh yeah, you're right. Did they nail it?

I didn't see this one. What was my answer? It was in the article. Interesting, I believe. Yeah, interesting. The numbers are interesting, I believe you said. Interesting number. There it is. Keep shooting. Keep shooting.

Keep shooting. He'll find his cheese. Yeah, darts on the board. Andrew Marchand. Pat McAfee opens up about his $85 million ESPN leap. He asked me. He's hearing that that's the number. Can you confirm?

And I said, interesting number. I'll never talk about the actual numbers. Not my thing. But I do appreciate your interest in our show. And then I went on to answer all of his other things. Then the headline is confirmed. Yep. That's right.

You know what I mean? That's a wild thing. Oh, yeah. So he took interesting number as yep. Yep. That's the I mean? That's a wild thing. He took interesting numbers. That's the number. Interesting number. Because I am interested in how because last week it was 10.

Guaranteed. What's the saying? Grenades, not horseshoes? Does that apply here? I don't know. I think they're just guessing. I believe there is quite a... Exactly. This is interesting, though,

that this has become a focal point of the conversation around our business. But it is also a focal point around my negotiation abilities and my business sense and my business smarts. So when $10 million was talked about, I was like, alright, a little disrespectful. Just a little.

A little disrespectful here. But but also it's not my job to tell people what we're making no it's our job to earn more than what we are getting paid what so we can be good business partners exactly and when you're good business partners with people guess what happens with the next one? It's bigger. It's bigger. Yeah. 18. Maybe. Yeah. Maybe 10.5. Boom. Let's get out of here.

Hour two is on the other side. Just keep throwing darts at the wall. Yeah. That's a lot of fun. Yeah, it is. Imagine if that was your gig. Headline. Headline of the thing.

That's Marshawn, baby. He could do it like five more times and get so many clicks from that Every time And he will For real this time Like that being the title of the story Insiders That's a wild thing So unless somebody on that side

Which I don't There's only a few of us I think That would be a Interesting bro This is a weird life I'm living right now That side, which there's only a few of us, I think. Right. That would be interesting, bro. This is a weird life I'm living right now. Crazy world we're living. Everyone's talking. Everyone's talking.

Everyone's talking. Our people killing us. Those people judging. Just wait until it actually happens. Then a whole other crew of people are going to hate us. Those people are sharpening their axes right now. Five years, ten years from now, though, we'll look back on it and we'll say, hell yeah.

Hell yeah. You sure about that? Hell yeah. Yeah, I think so. Oh, no, Tim Robinson. I think it's going to be, oh, yeah, you think that's going to be our? Yeah. We should just gif that.

Yes, exactly. Five years from now to every. I'm going to put that in the draft right now. I'm going to draft all of those tweets answer all of them yes and then just have them sitting in there and just i'm thinking you're wrong yeah i'm pumped for it the more we learn i have like meetings obviously and we have introductories and learning about stuff and it's not an indoctrination it's just like a hey here's everything that is available okay here's how you can explore the space of what espn has right they have rights to everything every sport yes access to every team any of them i got a text yesterday from um somebody over there at espn pretty high up up, and they're like, lacrosse talk was sick today.

Remember, anything you need at any school for anything in that, all good. You can have you, I mean, if you want to commentate a game, we can fucking have. Anything you want to do with lacrosse is good. It's like every day there's a new one of those where it's like, anything you want to do here, you're good. We are open to any ideas.

It would be great to have them, actually. It's like, man. And you guys will set all that shit up? Yep. Yeah, that's what we do. It's like, man, that's a lot better than Arlington. I need to get a box truck. I need to get hotels.

I need to get internet. I need to get a stage. I need to get seats. I need to get mics. I need to get wires. Connor, you're going to have to drive 24 hours. Sounds good. Yeah, yeah.

It's like, okay, so we don't have to do any of that shit. And you guys will handle that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. We have people that want to do that type of stuff. It's like, man. Okay. That makes life a lot easier.

Yeah. Are we definitely going to be on the air? Yeah, we will certainly make sure that we're on the air. Okay. Whew. Okay. That's a whole other thing. So we just show up?

And there's microphones there? Yeah. Whew. Holy shit. Holy shit. That's a whole other thing So we just show up And there's microphones there Holy shit That's awesome Is this how people that have billion dollar operations Helping them Is this how it goes I think so yeah I'm thinking it does That's going to be a little bit of assistance

That'll be fun Hopefully we'll be able to explore the space and do it right. And I think five, ten years from now, whenever we do, people will look back on all this and say, what a joke. But I do appreciate all the interest in everything that's happening because I believe whenever you're getting ten hours of it, I just started thinking of this yesterday, we're getting ten hours on ESPN a week.

That's a lot of time. That is awesome. That's a lot of fucking time on ESPN. Yeah. That's how Marshawn said, nobody will confirm whether or not it's on ESPN Okay Yeah

We're going to pick up to go to ESPN News Watch the video You literally say it in the video We will be on ESPN Marshawn is like I mean he's been He and I have been in contact And I've sent him stuff

But like I'll say things to him And it's like he just feels like Nah that's not right. That doesn't fit. He must not know. I'm literally the person that was I guess he's not used to that, but it's like

yeah, we're going to ESPN News for 10 hours. That's what we're doing. Bringing back ESPN Classics. Let's get to a break, bro. Let's get to a break. I can't start talking about it because I get so excited about it and then I immediately want to dunk it in everybody's face. Because that's kind of who I am. But that's not what we are.

No. We're good times. Never have been. We're good times. Sports. What? Sports. All the sports.

Yeah. And all the other stuff. What's up, buddy? Didn't ESPN's PR tweet that it was on ESPN? Everybody. Yeah. Yeah, but if that doesn't fit the book, then he's not putting it in.

That's not a juicy piece of cheese. Bingo. Joining us now is a man who is a Super Bowl champion. What? He's a college football national champion. What? He's a Ryder Cup winner, but not a champion. Correct.

He is the current champion of Ohio and the all-time leading tackler for the Green Bay Packers, former teammate of David Bocciari, A.J. Hawk. Yay! Boc and Hawk, how you doing, pal? Doing great, pal. How are you? Good. Boc and Hawk was a great combination

in the locker room, I'd assume. You and he are obviously very tight. Let's dive right in. Your tan looks impeccable today. Holy shit. I've been everywhere man i john i'm dying it's so hot outside man like a lot of time outside it's not it's not are you popping top off when you go outside immediately upon entering the sun top goes off i need to i mean i get really fried then if i do that because i my chest like i never get sun for

my the rest of my body it's just neck and arms, your neck is barbecued. Your neck is bad. Yeah, but the tan you're about to have in like 24 to 48 hours is about to be so good. I made a decision this past trip to the sun that I went to after the Super Bowl. Literally travel right to the sun. Even when there's cloud there, the sun is very prevalent. I said, new me, I'm just getting burnt. I'm just fucking, I'm eating it. It's not good.

Obviously put on sunscreen, and I will have to deal with this later. But I am no longer going to live in fear of the sun. I've decided that I am going to seek the sun and get some, what's that? That is bold. The sun is a big, tough son of a bitch. Never quits. Yeah, I wouldn't just seek it out. Has never relented.

Don't get bigger. Never lost. The sun is never really't just seek it out. Has never relented. Don't get bigger. Sun is never really lost. Sun is undefeated. Forever. Panned for pan. The dog of dogs. I agree, but there's no sun in Indiana for like six

months. I know, it's tough. So it's tough for me not to want to go on like a bender. You know what I mean? Sun bender. That's the new me. Go on the bender, it's tough. So it's tough for me not to want to go on like a bender. You know what I mean? Sun bender, yeah. That's the new me. Go on the bender, but protect yourself. Do you put on sunscreen? I put on sunscreen, and I wear long sleeves. I'm not... Do you get darker? Yes, I do. How, like,

visibly different? Do you get burnt? Pat, does it hurt to get burnt? Yeah, yeah. I get burnt. Everybody get burnt. They don't matter if you're black, white, whatever you is, you're gonna get your ass burnt if you stay in the sun. Exactly. I agree. And it hurts.

I forget about that. Oh, yeah. Bad. Suckers. Skint up your nose. Skint up. Yeah. There's no fun in that.

Why would you just say, fuck it, man? I'm just going to take it. Yeah, because 24 hours later, 48 hours later, my tan is going to be so righteous. Sun poisoning. You got to be careful, though, now you got the jet ski, because you'll get that double glean off the water, too, and that'll turn it. Yeah, but you got to wear that stupid fucking...

You need to find a cooler vest. I am so mad about that thing. What's that? You need to find a cooler vest, like a camel one. You should just get body on. I told AJ, I'm wearing this thing. I'm new to lakes. Do you have a skinny one?

I have a motorcycle. I don't have to wear a helmet. Okay. But in my car, I have to wear a seatbelt. All right. Okay. Make it make sense. Everybody do their own thing.

You're right for my safety. Thank you. Then I get on this jet ski. It's like, got to have a thing on. It's like, okay. Now I got to go buy one of these things. Buy it, put it on. It's like, what, this for if I go buy one of these things. Buy it, put it on. It's like, what, this for if I go in the water, I'm not going to die?

If you get knocked out cold and you fall in the water, it'll keep you afloat. Oh, shit. I didn't even think about that. Definitely need that. And I don't float at all. What did you think it was for? I didn't think he was putting his life on the line. Obviously, I thought people would just fall off.

Like, yo, I'm not going to fall off this thing. I didn't even think about hitting my face off of the thing. Something hits you. You hit the front of it, you fall off. Listen, not everyone is a great boat driver out there. And there's a lot of people boozed up because you are allowed to drink and boat. That is not true. Is that real?

That's not true. You can't be legally drunk, but you can have drinks, yes. No, you get a booey. You can have four or five. Huh? I was in Wisconsin. That was the rule back when I lived there. No, you're not allowed can have drinks, yes. No, you get a buoy. You can have four or five. Huh? No, you're not allowed to buoy, dude. You can't be driving drunk out on my water.

I'll be patrolling. No way. That's what they're worried about. Like, fuck, is McAfee out here? I don't want to get pulled over. There he goes. They got these water cops that come by. I watch them. They got good boats. Oh, yeah. The cops. You doing a ride along with them and patrolling the cities cops that come by i watch them they got good boats oh yeah oh yeah hey these the cops you're

doing a ride along with them and patrolling the cities with them giving breathalyzers out i just let them know like you know how the navy has a dope on here there's no dope on this there's no dope on mine or on yours i don't think but we will confiscate it if we have to but you know the navy has those dolphins they're swimming around them all yeah that's me on the jet ski around the water cop yeah dnr you know what i mean dnr whatever it is thank you the water cops they uh they they appear to be properly jocked too they're ready to go these dudes are properly jacked sunglasses on and their boats seem to be more sturdy than everybody else they go they did it right. They're on the water all day.

That's their job. They have the best one out of all of them. They got triple things in the back of that boat, though. Oh, yeah. Couple engines. They're going. 600 horsepower. Peace.

Is there a fucking high-speed chase that's going to happen on this goddamn lake? Why do they need it? Maybe it could be you out running the law at some point. That's why they have them. They might ask you to bring your jet ski and chase somebody smuggling drugs. Every boat. Listen, I'm ready. Okay, for my waters.

Not much drugs. For my lake that I'm patrolling out there. Not many drugs left to smuggle after that soccer player. What happened? This guy yesterday got reported he was smuggling like 75 million dollars worth of cocaine yeah so what's going on with soccer they had a guy shaving points a couple weeks ago and now we got a it's always good time yeah then we got a full-time big-time narco yeah a big-time narco weapon former netherlands winger uh quincy proms is prosecuted for importing more than 1300 kilos

of cocaine value of 75 million euro yeah shout out to 90 million yeah american that is did he smuggle it on a tanker or something like i want to know how they caught him and where this was i assume this over a period of time right does dutch have this little boat what if he had one of those like semi-submersible subs that they build in the jungles and drive them over that they're just the top sticks out yeah i mean he might would he be able to have 75 90 million million worth of stuff in one of those? Probably, huh? Yeah, probably.

Yeah, maybe. What is that, 13 kilos? That's a lot of room. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, many might not get the job done. All these drug smuggling documentaries I've watched, it's always a lot of trips, right? A lot of boats, a lot of subs. We're dropping shit in the middle of the ocean if we're about to get caught.

28 pounds. Oh, so they can definitely. Weight-wise, for sure. I just mean like space, like actual volume. Oh, no, that's no problem. They can figure out something. Pac-Man, don't be too comfortable. It's not too much to hide, but that's a dumb thing to do.

But I'm just being. Who was that? Sam Hurd, right? He was the NFL's best version of that. Hey, he was really doing it. He was Sam Hurd, right? He was the NFL's best version of that. Hey, he was really doing it. He walked right out of a restaurant in Chicago. He's right out of front of a five-star restaurant in Chicago while being on the Bears with a kilo of cocaine in a suitcase or whatever.

Middle of broad daylight. I think his car got valeted. Drive up the car, puts it in there. Bam. Now I got to go practice. Just casual. Just casual. Just casual. A lot of confidence.

If I say I'm hurt, I would say I'm casual. Dog, dude. Absolute dog. Think about the amount of like, when you got that much money in that particular world that doesn't really have a lot of rules, you got to be looking over your fucking shoulder at all times. With people that you employ, with people that you're against, everybody. There's not a lot of rules over there. There's been a lot of examples of

death. Dead. Like, dead, dead. Oh, yeah. Like, not just one shot dead. No, like, cut your tongue out. We'd like you to be the deadest person of all time. Yeah. Fingernails off. And then he's just rolling right into

special teams meeting. Alright, person of all time. Yeah, fingernails off. And then he's just rolling right into special teams. I mean, I got R2. You know what I mean? That's bananas to me. Crazy. I would like to talk to him. You think guys have a teammate idea? He was my teammate in Dallas.

And when I seen that pop up, I'm like. So you had no idea any of this was. I would never in my life would have thought Sam was out here fucking cocaine cowboy. Moving. Moving. Yeah, absolutely. Unbelievable teammate. One of, like, quiet guys.

Yeah, don't tell him about his business. It makes sense he was quiet. That's why he didn't let anybody else help him. They were like, send us to the – that's me, motherfucker. Yeah, but who have you been in? Nobody. They were in That's me, motherfucker. Yeah, but who have you been in? Nobody. They've been in contact with me. You're finding other people that are pointing their fingers up to me.

It's like, golly. When he gets out of jail, I would like to talk to him. Don't love that drug dealers happen. Don't love that drug affects people's lives. I've had a lot of friends, obviously. But the fascination with the humans that have the capability of being able to do that and then to do something else at a very high level in the

fucking NFL, would love to hear just the human that he... Not saying other people should do this. This should not be a goal. This should never happen again. But would love to talk to this guy. He can make a ton of money going around giving speeches, telling his story, saying how he's turned his life around,

what prison did for him. But he could also go into a lot of detail about how he got into it, what he was doing. I think it would be very interesting. Comeback story, obviously awesome. What if he just says, yeah, I mean, I just knew I could do it better than everybody else. I'm not going to do it again because I just went to jail for it.

Probably not. He was released January 31st of this year. Oh, let's go, Sam. Sam. Former teammate of yours, Pac-Man Jones. A lot of us big fans. We're going to get Sam. It's a comeback story.

We think. He's just out. He's just good. Yeah, I remember this during the season. That's what it says. He got a jail. How long was he in jail? A long time.

He was sent to a residential reentry management facility, whatever that is. Halfway house. So he's not out yet. So probably how long? 60 days, 100 days probably. Please. Jeez Louise. But now he probably.

No, no. He's probably close though. February, March. He's really close if he had a halfway house. Yeah. There we go, Sam. He's actually definitely out if he started then. Because that's all February, all March, all April, all May.

Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now is not Sam Hurd. Oh, shit. Just lost him. Oh, no. So is it Sam? Not Sam. Sam, we did not lose Sam. Okay.

We're dealing with some technical difficulties. Anybody home? Someone just knocked? Yeah, that was a... Oh, that was you. Oh. I thought that was us knocking on it. Yeah.

Hello? I was excited to hear if the door was going to get open. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now is a World Series champion, a multi-time MVP, an absolute stallion, a man who has literally rode the waves of life to the epic highs in the wild lows and now has found himself an owner of a team in the NBA, a media member in the baseball, and a real estate mogul. Ladies and gentlemen, Alex Rodriguez. How are you? What's up, Pat? How you doing, man? Dude,

I'm great. Thank you for coming on the show obviously you're an icon a legend one of the biggest names in the history of america's pastime so thank you for taking time you look great a rod you look great i'm gonna take off my jacket just so i feel more comfortable hold on are you jocked are you still jocked still jocked still joked i wish i had a tantrum pat i gotta say that i'm honored to be on your show, but you must be disappointed because I'm like A-Rod, but not the big star A-Rod, it's Rodgers. So I'm like number two now. Oh, yeah.

You need to know this, though. Like A.J., whenever I was just learning of the Aaron Rodgers, he would just casually call him A-Rod in conversation, and every time it was said, I thought of you. I'm like, Alex Rodriguez? I did not know that Aaron Rodgers was called A-Rod and then now it makes so much sense and I call him A-Rod.

Something just crashed. Something just absolutely crashed. I did play a little football in high school. I was number 13 trying to be like Dan Marino in Miami. Everyone tries to be like Dan but I wish I could throw the ball like my man Aaron Rodgers. He is awesome. I'm a huge fan of his. Okay, so let's dive into that. You're in Seattle and then Texas, then you come to New York,

the big city, the big lights, and obviously we've learned of your story, the decision you made, why you made it, the pressures you felt. I couldn't even imagine what it would have been like coming to New York, especially as an established superstar with a lot of expectation. Aaron is having to do the same thing. What is he going to experience, and how do you think he's going to get through it? Well, first of all, I mean, he's so much more mature than I was. He's very, very, very smart, and he's a ready to go.

He's a first ballot Hall of Famer. Hopefully he can do some great things for the Jets. I know New York is thrilled to have him. But I think he's going to be just fine. And, by the way, I love the way he's leaning into it. He's having fun. He's at concerts. He's at Knicks games.

That's exactly what New York wants to do. And you just got to go out and perform and have fun and be yourself. Okay. Yeah, he is. He's definitely having fun right now. We see he's in, like, the honeymoon phase. I feel he's sitting courtside at all these games. Everyone loves him. Teammates love him.

How do you think people react if they don't win a bunch of games, A-Rod? Well, I mean, look, I mean, the Jets, it's really nothing to lose, right? I mean, he can be Joe Namath 2.0. And the fact is, if he can lift the New York Jets to heights, I mean, the Jets fans, and Pat, you know this, right? Like, they're ready to go. I mean, they've suffered a, and Pat, you know this, right? Like, they're ready to go. I mean, they've suffered a lot. They're great fans.

They're smart. They're passionate. And now they have their guy, which is awesome. Yeah, I've enjoyed watching them kind of take him in because I think a couple years ago he had some thoughts and opinions and did some stuff that maybe a lot of people on the East Coast did not really appreciate. Owners of the team. And now it's like, hey, yeah, and owners of the team we're not very grateful for.

Now it's like, welcome to the city. We've got a hippie out here now. Okay, yeah, you're our hippie now. Let's kind of do this thing. I'm excited to see the success, and I'm excited to see your success as well, A-Rod. I mean, let's just dive right into it. I am not a – I didn't play baseball growing up. I did play in the Farm League, though.

That's right, you did. 333 on base percentage. Guy overthrew first base after a mid-concert. No big deal. Broke my thumb and pulled my hamstring. Tough sport. Tough sport. But I haven't been in the baseball world, but obviously I knew about you because you're a superstar of the baseball world. As you're going through your entire

run as the MLB star that you are are and then everything kind of collapses there as you were made the face and we talked about this earlier you were made the face of something that like hundreds of other people were also a part of and now we know that with like kind of looking back on it but at the time it was like this guy is the reason that baseball has a bad uh reputation this guy's been cheated fuck this guy everybody the reason that baseball has a bad reputation. This guy's been cheated. Fuck this guy.

Everybody was saying that, A-Rod. Like, everybody. How did you end up coming back from that? I think I, as somebody not that mentally, I would have been devastated and broken from that. How did you bounce back to where you are now? I feel like this is one of the biggest climbs in, like, the court of public opinion's eyes.

For sure. Maybe of all time. I don't want to say all the time but maybe of all time from all your way to now like mentally did you ever was there ever any doubt like you were gonna be back ever or you know anything like that pat i gotta tell you everything you just mentioned and look aj you you guys have both been you know athletes you know you both have been in the limelight. And, you know, I think, Pat, you may be accurate. It might be one of the biggest falls of all time because I played for the great New York Yankees, for the great George Steinbrenner. I was the highest paid player in the game. I played with one of the great icons in Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettit. So I felt all those things.

Depression. I felt, you know, like a pariah. And to do it in the biggest stage and to fall from, I mean, you know, I was a first ballot Hall of Famer. I mean, I was probably that five, six years ago before I got in trouble. And to think, I remember I was sending emails, Pat and AJ, and people wouldn't write back to me. It was terrible. And here's what I think, why I came back. My biggest guess is I looked in the mirror and basically said, I have no one to blame but the guy I'm looking at. And taking full accountability, serving a suspension cost me probably over $50 million.

serving a suspension cost me probably over $50 million. I lost the respect of my fans, my teammates, my mom, my daughters, let them down. And I think when you face reality and you can come back and man up, I was fortunate to get a break. I heard your intro where I came back and at 40 years old, two knee surgeries, two hip surgeries. No one thought I would even make the team. And at 41 years old, I hit 33 home runs. I led the team back to the playoffs. And, you know, it was, thank God for me, a happy ending. Yeah, absolutely.

There had to be some tough times in there, though. You should be proud of yourself there, bro. Okay, obviously you're rich and you live good and everything like that. But you're a human. You are too, by the way. I want to say congrats to you. Okay, okay you're rich and you live good and everything like that. But you're a human. You are too, by the way. I want to say congrats to you. Okay, okay, I'm trying to, you know, let's take it easy. There's numbers being reported.

They're not right. But nonetheless, like, you're a human at the end of the day who has, like, emotions and feelings. Even the people that are, like, the biggest narcissist of all time. Somewhere there is a feeling of being a human in there and i'm not saying you're that i'm just saying humans in whole however people view you however people view you or did view you it's like at the end of the day a human is in there and with all the it felt like everybody for you to fucking come back out of there like it's very inspirational dude like you should be incredibly proud of it honestly AJ go ahead pal did you uh

do you have any idea I guess and how how good you would be on tv analyzing the game of baseball I know Pete Rose isn't there anymore when you and Pete would go back and forth talking about what you're looking at when you're hitting at the plate like that was awesome like made me feel like I was learning so much especially and also I could see how passionate you and Pete both are like about the game of baseball and you're still fans now. Is that something you thought you might get into while you were still playing? Yeah. Great question, AJ. You know, I think this is where I am a little bit like Aaron Rodgers, the real A-Rod, is that he's a football geek. I'm a baseball geek. I mean, I love the game. I study it. I remember when I played,

I would come home in my apartment in New York and I would go and put four or five games, all the West Coast games, the Dodgers, the Padres, the Oakland A's, the Anaheim Angels. And I was just studying because I knew that the next week or two, I'll be playing those teams. And I just loved the game. Then the question became about TV is you know can i articulate uh a compelling story uh taking a complex subject and make it like commercial and digestible and and pat and aj you guys both do a fantastic job but it's not a given it's not a layup and i worked hard at it i have an incredible crew with fox uh with kevin burkhardt poppy and now the great derrick jeter is going to join us all right there you go pat go, Pat. I like that. Let me see that stroke.

Come on. Well, there's a big conversation about this, Gerard. There's a big deal. So I didn't play baseball. You're not sure. All right. Yeah, we're not sure. We're not sure what I am.

I played in that farm league game. Righty. But I didn't even step into a cage before this game. The only thing we did is Ty Schmidt here, who's the biggest Yankee fan I've ever met, who was very excited. Atta boy, Ty. He loves you. You and him are about to have a great conversation, but he played

college baseball and baseball and everything like that. So my only preparation for this Farm League game was he was throwing me hockey balls, like deck hockey balls. And they were moving, I think like 70, 80 miles an hour or whatever. And I was making contact with him. And it happened like 20 times. And then boom, we're in a batter's box against a pitcher.

He got drafted to the fucking Brewers. Yeah, that's right. Something like that. And his farm like throwing 92 or whatever. But I batted righty because I played hockey growing up righty. So I just assumed it was. But then immediately after like the game, I started like just like, I'm like, man, it feels a lot more natural.

You know what I mean? It feels a lot more natural because I think when I was a kid, the only thing I knew about baseball was Ken Griffey Jr. swing. So like, I think there was, I think there was an era where I was doing the Ken Griffey Jr. swing, you know, where you kind of let it go. So I think I'm supposed to be a fucking lefty. I think I was supposed to be a lefty, but I'll never actually find out the answer. But I was watching, AJ brought up you and Pete Rose. There was one segment that I watched where you guys were actually in the batter's box with the plate there. And I know nothing about baseball.

I enjoy watching World Series. And when they go to that fucking farm. Oh, yeah. Field of Dreams. Field of Dreams. That one's like the special events. I think baseball does very well. I think it does very well but as pete rose was like well if i'm a little bit slow on the ball uh on a day i'm just gonna move back he said and he said if i'm a little bit fast i'm gonna move up if i feel like i'm getting jammed i'm just gonna move

back and i'm like jesus christ that is like i didn't even think about that being the actual thing and then you added in yeah and also if the pitcher's doing this. So what AJ said there, I would like to echo the sentiment. When you two started talking about it, me as somebody who didn't know baseball, felt as if I was getting like a 101, 201, 301, and a 401 all at the same time. Because I think what people forget is, like, you're shoot one of the most talented fucking hitters in the history of the game. Right, A-Rod?

Yeah. Hell yeah, dude. Hell yeah. Whole life, you just bomb balls? Is that real? No, you know, I was a little bit of a slow starter. But, you know, it's interesting, AJ and Pat, you guys mentioned that piece. We thought the camos were off, right?

And we were just having a real conversation. And I was asking questions that I was actually intrigued. But if you think about Pete Rose, he's a living legend. Whether you like him or not, numbers don't lie. He's the greatest base hit hitter of all time. But to think about it, it would be like watching Da Vinci, you know, write or paint and Picasso paint. And he's a modern-day legend. And, you know, if any kid's out there that wants to learn about hitting, you should watch

that YouTube clip. I think it got like 25, 30 million views, like 24 hours. So it was all about Pete Rose and him talking about his approach, what to think, the mental approach, choking up, righty, lefty. I was fascinated. And then they said, hey, by the way, guys, we recorded this. We're going to launch it. And I'm telling you, 24 hours, it did like 20 million million views and that tells you a lot about who pete rose is yeah and what state

of baseball and what people are interested in and obviously you're acting like you're just asking the questions you're asking great questions because you're fucking also you know yeah one of the greatest hitters of all time that's a great piece of uh content hope you continue to crush the media game forever ty schmidt absolutely loves you. He has a question for you. Yeah, A-Rod, you mentioned it. Still first ballot hall of fame in my book, no question about that. I never really understood the kind of vitriol you got from Yankees fans. You're still one of my favorite Yankees of all time, and I'm glad watching your media run, how people have kind of got to see that

and it's come around a little bit. But I'm curious, you said you're a baseball geek. Do you like the new rules they've instituted this year like the the pitch clock and and you know getting rid of the shift and all that kind of stuff because i still watch baseball all the time but we talk about it you know like with the rise of the nfl do you think these new rules are going to bring enough kind of new fans to baseball over the course of the next five to ten years yeah thanks for the question todd i actually love love the new rules the next five to 10 years? Yeah, thanks for the question, Todd. I actually love, love the new rules.

You've got to give Commissioner Rob Manford and Tony Clark a great deal of credit. Look, not everything is going to be perfect, but in a world where baseball is so married to its great history, to be able to pivot and make some progressive moves, I think the time clock has an opportunity to bring baseball back, bring the glory days back, and eliminating the shift is perfect because to that conversation we were just having about Pete Rose, the idea of hitting the ball line to line, the great John Olerud,

thinking about Rod Carew, Etro, George Brett, all the great players, Derek Jeter, they're rewarded by hitting the ball line to line, and a little bit of that was lost. So I do like the rules. I think baseball's in a good place. They have as many young, great players as we've had in decades, so I'm excited about baseball. Shohei, the best player of all time, huh? I'll tell you what, I don't know about that, but he is the greatest show of all time. I've never seen a guy that could be that good. I'll give you one, I don't know about that, but he is the greatest show of all time. I've never seen a guy that could be that good. I'll give you one thing that was amazing about the World Baseball Classic game in Miami,

which we covered for Fox, Poppy, me. We had Big Hurt, Kevin Burkhart. There were 70 million people watching that game. Now, most of them were in Japan, in the morning of Japan. But it just gives you an idea that baseball, if marketed right, it can bring the glory days back to where they belong. Hell yeah. We watched the World Baseball Classic.

I absolutely loved everything. It's interesting because in baseball somehow, even though I think a lot of us casuals are like, if you have a good pitcher, you're going to have a good team. That's how it goes. That Angels team having Shohei and Trout, it had to get explained to me like four or five different times during the World Baseball Classic.

I'm like, okay, so our captain is the best player of the generation? Yeah. He's on what team? The Angels. Okay. The Japan team, their best player, best player of a generation? He's on what team? He's on the Angels, yeah.

Who are the Angels? The Angels stink. How's that? How's that happening? How's that even? What is that? Is that going to be how it's always going to be? I would just say, look, there's plenty of teams, I guess, in football

that unless you're a quarterback like Aaron Rodgers or Payne Manning or Joe Montana, Tom Brady, if you're a great defensive end or linebacker, there's an opportunity for you to be all pro, be one of the best of all time, and still your team. If you don't have the right supporting cast, you may end up in last place or middle of the road. Baseball is very, very hard to win with one or two players. If you think about the Yankees,

and when they won four championships in five years, one 25 they were loaded they were stacked and they built that team like a great architect with great balance ability to hit hit for power pitch bullpen the greatest bullpen of all time with mariano rivera hell yeah so it really is a team effort in baseball yeah that's what i think i learned through that entire thing because you hit a couple dingers, got a good pitcher, we're winning games. And then they're like, yeah, this guy actually hits good too. He's the best pitcher and he also hits good

and then you got the best American baseball player in maybe forever or whatever and this guy, it's like, and the team just can't get on TV. Can't get on TV because they're not worth a fuck, A-Rod. I mean, it is it's a wild, wild, wild scene. Tony, there's a question for you a fuck, A-Rod. It's a wild, wild, wild scene. Tony, there's a question for you. Yeah, A-Rod, we always talk about NFL guys when

they get drafted and they come in. It's good to have good leaders on the team. And then I wanted to translate that to baseball with you. You come into the Mariners organization and Griffey's there and he's basically the star of the MLB and Edgar Martinez is there. How big was that for you to see basically the star of the MLB, and Edgar Martinez is there. How big was that for you to see basically the face of the league at the time

and see what he goes through every day and how he approaches every day? How big was Griffey for your career? Yeah, and it's a great question. I describe this as imagine going if you have a son and you get to send him to play college basketball for Duke and to play for Coach K. It's a safe environment is one that you can develop. That's how I felt going as an 18 year old in the big leagues. It's a Seattle to have the mentorship and tutelage of Luke Canella, Ken Griffey, Edgar Martinez, J.

Bone Buhner, who was a stud, Randy Johnson. It was an epic roster, and it was phenomenal. And to your question, having a guy like Ken Griffey Jr., who was also a number one pick six years before me, was an incredible role model. And it's not only that he was the Michael Jordan of baseball in the face of Nike, in the face of baseball, but it's also that he was incredible here and being a great father, great husband,

and just someone for me to kind of watch and learn from. Yeah. And incredible swing. Oh yeah. Clean. I mean, I just talked about it. Literally. I wasn't a baseball kid. And I used to, used to do that entire thing. A-Rod, we appreciate you taking time here. We know that you are currently promoting something that is making the world a much better place with gum disease alongside

Orifarma. I didn't want to get that wrong. Orifarma. They're teaming up to help fight gum disease. Did you know, okay? Did you know that this affects 65 million Americans? That's a lot.

Hey, that's a lot of people, A-Rod. I'm happy you're telling people about this because I'm probably one of them if I had to guess. What do we need to do? We need to brush better? What do we need to do to help this? I think all of that. Look, AJ and Pat, I'm sure you hate going to the dentist just as much as I do. But I went recently to see my dentist in this great partnership with Aura Pharma.

We're spreading the word. I found out that I had a gum disease. Of course, that was alarming. But, you know, quickly we found out there's, you know, you go to arrestin.com, you get all the information you can. It's really, really prevalent in black and brown communities, especially like my Latino community. Go go out see your dentist ask questions and the best thing you can do is get ahead of it early and there's a way you can treat it and hopefully you can land your plane but again thank you for letting me talk about that and it's something that i'm really proud to spread the word hell yeah man thank you for talking about it i think i'm i'm gonna take a nice look in the mirror i hate going to the city worst terrible you know

like you never go to the doctor with good news. You're obviously not going to love the doctor, but you never go to the dentist until it's horrible news. Every time you walk in there, it's the worst news imaginable. And then what else? Gums are bleeding. You're going to be miserable for the next day. It is not fun at all.

Need to do it. Need to do it, eh, Rod? Yes, got to do it. Got to do it. Get that laughing gas so they can turn that shit up. Ladies and gentlemen, Hall of Famer in our book. That's right. In real life should be Alex Rodriguez.

Thank you. Dude, he did. I mean, he was. Oh, yeah. Big time. People hated him. Even me outside baseball world was like, that guy's taking, he was. Oh, yeah. Big time. People hated him. Even me outside baseball world was like, God, that guy's taking it hard.

Huge comeback. He got suspended. He got on TV, man. Like, yeah, big time turn, I think, from the public. I didn't love that I talked about his climb, and he talked about his fall. It's like, well, that's a little negative. I'm talking about you coming back.

I'm talking about the fall, though. Equally, both. Huge, I guess. Yeah, that's a little negative. I'm talking about you coming back. You're talking about the fall, though. Equally, both. Huge, I guess. Yeah, he took a lot of hits. Like you said earlier, it was a lot of people that got caught during that same time, but he was the only one actively still playing. He got suspended for a full year in his prime. It was reduced to that, too.

It was a year and a half, and then they reduced it to one year. $50 million he said he lost? Mm-hmm. 33 bombs at 41 what texas paid him for did you imagine that spite year 250 yeah him come back at 41 they're drug testing him more than anybody else in the fucking league yeah oh yeah 41 get drug tested the every single at bat fuck all these people yeah you know what i mean big time homer every single one of them good for him 33 of 33 of them. Yeah, that's unbelievable.

He looked properly jogged, too. Oh, yeah. Andy, I mean, what is he doing? You know, doing real estate and dentist stuff. He should be in fucking Top Gun. Did you see that commercial? Dude. It's unbelievable.

He was doing kettlebell swings by the pool. You can't be running that out of nowhere without me. Can we play that? I have never seen that. That popped up on the screen. I wanted to ask if that was his real dentist. Like, this guy's got to be an actor. No, it says, yeah, paid spokesperson and actual patient.

Well, I guess it could be. Well, we don't. You could pay the doctor. No, it said actual patient who got paid. That's what that means. Yeah, right. Which is A-Rod. World Series champion, CEO of A-Rod Corp.

That's been approved. Also co-owner. Sweet sweats. Nice bathroom. Jeez, great bathroom. Holy fuck. You think he's doing all this? Didn't he say he has this he has this didn't he i don't know he didn't say it on here but i've seen him talking about this like that he learned about it and his 30s or something like that is this the one where you know do you know anyone that had their gums like shaved down they had to cut their gums way back is that what this

comes from i know a couple people i don't think i don't think my gums are not good in that and they do that test where they shove the metal thing down in between each gum and then they measure it. Boy, is that tough. It is. There's nothing fun about it. No, it sounds awful. It is. And then you never know. I'm not getting into it. What's that?

Okay. You never know what. I'm sure you won't. No, you won't. You won't get into it. I won't. But I have to think about it, you know, because like what do they charge? You don't know. Right? And that's, like, the thing.

Yeah, you just assume insurance covers it. Yeah, they do. Yeah, that's the whole, oh, you got three cavities. You got a little bit of this in there. You see this thing right here? No, I can't see it because my mouth is, oh, we'll take a scan. Scan. You see?

You know, there's always work to be done. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. No matter what. I would assume there's always work to be done. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. No matter what. I would assume there's always work to be done. So you go in there. I think you're always thinking like, all right, I'm going in here and I'm signing up for a fucking root canal. Every time you go in there, it's like you never walk out of there squeaky clean.

No, you don't. No, you don't. Yeah, usually you have to come back in two weeks or so. We're going to have to get rid of this. So you're committing to like, all right, I'm signing up for something. This is a real commitment here. I'm going in. And also, while in here, going to be terrible.

Oh, yeah. That's tough to commit to. But A-Rod's saying, listen, need you. You got to do it. We got to do this. And I appreciate him doing that, AJ. I think it's pretty cool. I thought he was great. He seemed to be very open, honest.

Like, I've always been a fan. Speaking of being a spokesperson for things, the Flip the Turf hashtag has... What was that? It's so funny. Is that a giant hashtag going around that's sweeping the nation? They're trying to get it that way.

Yeah, it was trending. They're trying to get people to pay attention to the fact that... Good luck. Why is it sponsored then? Because it needs to get a little boost. It needs a little boosting. Need a corp for it. Okay, we attention to the fact that. Good luck. Why is it sponsored then? Fields, because it needs to get a little boost. Yeah. Needs a little boosting.

Need a corp for it. Okay, we need to figure this out. We need to get it aligned. We need the players to say, hey, we ain't doing it anymore. Put Grassfields on the stadium. Now. Von Miller took it to heart. Wrote a letter.

Very serious letter. Emotional. Very deep. He's been on this program talking about it, as has basically every single player that has ever had a microphone, especially now the fact that the NFL owners are going to make their turf fields grass for the soccer players from other

countries. What the hell? Not going to do it for NFL players, the guys that they pay, that they get employed by, that they could potentially make careers last longer and be better and everything like that. No. But we'll do it for the soccer players. For the soccer Lombardi. And they play football over there. They do.

Boom! Can't have it. Can't have it. David Bakhtiari is the most recent player to do a hashtag flip the turf sit down. And this was his reasoning on why we need grass fields in every NFL stadium. My name is David Bakhtiari and this is my elevator pitch on why we need grass fields in every NFL stadium.

My name is David Bakhtiari, and this is my elevator pitch on why I like to play on grass turf. It's so much faster being an offensive lineman. I like to kind of slow things down a little bit. We have defensive linemen running 4-4s. I don't need any more speed. My joints are shot after games. It takes me at least 48 to 72 hours longer to recover from the games. Particularly, I don't enjoy it. It gets a little hot. It is so much h the games. Particularly don't enjoy it. Gets a

little hot. It is so much harsher. I don't enjoy it on my joints at all. I want to have my joints nice and fresh. You know what that's going to help me with? Playing on grass. Not just any type of grass. Pennington grass. So go ahead and put it on the fields. No one says, oh, I enjoy the fresh tar on the carpet that's coming out. No, everyone enjoys the nice smell of fresh grass. Do us a favor. Help me help you. I want to give you a good product. You give me Pennington. That's why I'm excited to partner with Pennington to hashtag FlipTheTurf. Sign the

petition at Pennington.com slash FlipTheTurf. Let's go. Okay. The elevator's opened up. You gotta go. Get out of here. Okay. So we're out of the elevator. You're talking about Pennington. You're talking about Pennington. I heard they have like 3 million signatures already.

I'm about to sign it right now. Was that a sarcastic commercial for Pennington? I don't. I just don't. With the product placement and everything, that's the weirdest thing. I'm like, why is this like a sponsored? It's a commercial. Listen, do what you got to do.

How are we going to get this passed with shit like this? That's what I'm saying. I feel like you took a step backwards on actual grass. If Bob Diari wanted to move some grass, he could move grass another way. He's handsome. He's massive. He's athletic. Go fucking push a thing out there, and let's get the grass smelling.

Do what Kittle did. Do something like that. Yeah, be nude. That would be bad. He's properly jocked, by the way. Yes, he is. George Kittle is properly jocked. Every inch of his body, except for like, be nude. That would be bad. He's properly jocked, by the way. Yes, he is. George Kittle is properly jocked. Every inch of his body,

except for like, depending upon... Except for 12. He did a naked thing. 12, 13, 10 inches of George Kittle. He was naked? Yeah. Bingo.

Chubbies. Buy him. Yep. Bakhtiari also thinking that one company that the NFL is just going to say, oh, you know what? I don't like being let off. I want the game to be slower.

It's like nobody wants the game to be slower. What are you talking about, buddy? It felt like he's saying, like, hey, I need to, for this summer, like my backyard needs to be Pennington grass. Like that is the big takeaway. Like it does. It feels like an infomercial for them. And I think it takes a couple.

We like Bakhtiari, we assume. I don't think I've ever hung out with him, but I think I like him. People that I like, like him, so that means a lot. AJ likes him. So if AJ likes him, I assume he is, you know what I mean? I assume. So I like him. I think. He's been on the show. He's been good.

That ain't helping. No, that ain't helping. That might be used as exhibit A. Okay, we need a fast game. Yeah. You want to make the game. If it ever happened, though, when would it even, it's not like all of a sudden, bam, here we go, we're putting grass in.

They'd need some time to get it ready. Yeah, next offseason, I think you put in a plan. Yeah. Hey, this is what we're going to do. Just like the Europe ones, we're just going to have levels to this shit. It's actually going to help us. Didn't the Broncos put a new turf in in like three days? Yeah, they had to re-turf it, but it was already turf, right?

Yeah. So the system, watering and everything. They'll re-sod the middle part sometimes of fields. Sod's not cheap either. Yeah, especially not to these NFL teams. I honestly believe the hammering home of going to flip it for the soccer players, that should be. That's a huge deal. That's the part that we're pissed off with players.

Because the owners are saying, oh, yeah, we believe you. Yeah. You guys don't want to run on turf? Why not? Well, we run seven miles every game, and we need it to be a perfect pitch out there for our joints. You got it. You got it.

Well, you're going to bring an international audience in here? Absolutely. They're going to be buying all the beers there for our joints. You got it. You got it. Well, you're going to bring an international audience in here? Absolutely. They're going to be buying all the beers and everything? What? Wait, you got it. We'll put fucking grass in here. No problem. We'll put a stage over top of this thing.

Yeah. This will be actual super grass. Whatever you want. This grass is going to have a little bounce like it's a gymnast floor. Wait till you guys see what you're doing on this brand new, state-of-the-art grass that we're going to put in for the fucking soccer Lombardi. Like, players should be like, you've already conceded. Yeah, just did it.

You just conceded. So let's just do it. How do we make this happen? Are there any NFL stadiums that will be breaking ground anytime in the near future? Do we know? Minnesota Vikings just got outright ownership of their stadium. Yeah. Do you see that?

Oh, yeah. They paid it off early, right? Yeah, that's awesome. $226 million in interest fees. I wonder what that loan was like. I mean, that's a big loan. Yeah. $226 million in interest fees being waived from the Minnesota taxpayers due to paying it off 23 years early.

Probably a 30-year mortgage, we would assume. Yeah. Tennessee, right, is the next team? Didn't they just go past the Nationals? They did. What if they build one of those soccer ones, though? Do the one where the field can, you know, the grass lifts. All the whole spaceship type situation.

Any new stadium. I would imagine that's tough to retrofit into an old stadium. Yeah, well, I mean, they just got to dig, right? They're going to have to dig. Dig a little bit. Not just a little bit. That's going to be pretty good. Oh, yeah.

That's an interesting. Fowls beneath. Like, who's moving? Chicago's moving. Yeah. That's going to be pretty good. Oh, yeah. Bowels beneath. Chicago's moving. It's perfect for Chicago. The Coliseum used to flood it and have ship battles back in the day when they were fighting lions. So we could do it now, can't we? We could figure something out.

We could definitely figure it out. You're right, AJ. I didn't even think about that. That's a good point. I don't know how many normal people are, but you're right. You ever saw Glator yeah you're not entertained dude well great great we're making another one really yeah gladiator 2 who's the everybody's so upset about this one actually this one's good hotline cast good cast hell yeah no russell crowe but uh i don't know denzel washington oh sorry. Ever heard of him? Denzel Washington? Bingo.

Denzel's in it. He's the main fighter? Warrior? No. Here, let me throw in a proxy. I believe it's Pedro Pascal. Heard of him? Wow.

He's awesome. Last of Us. Yeah, he's awesome. That's Petey. What's another show we like? American Gladiator documentary. Pretty sad. Yeah.

Very sad. Oh, it is? Go into it mentally prepared. Yeah, I didn't watch the whole thing. Obviously,, pretty sad. Yeah. Very sad. Oh, it is? Go into it mentally prepared. Yeah, I didn't watch the whole thing. Obviously, everybody knows that. Okay? Why? Came off like the phone.

I fell asleep. Sorry. God, baby. Fell asleep, had a nanny. Why? Are they dying off? Did they die off, most of them or something? Yeah, most of them don't want to be in it because they feel kind of screwed over.

And then the ones that are in it, their lives are extremely different. And, you know, there's tears. There's a lot of things that you're going to watch and be like, wow, I thought we were getting Malibu, Malibu. There wasn't a reunion. No. It wasn't like we had it. Nitro.

Was Nitro in it? That's what I said. I don't think he was. Gemini. You ever see the wrestler with Mickey Rourke? Yep. Yeah. He had kind of those vibes for me. How about Ram Jam?

Yeah. Nailed it. Randy the Ram Robinson. Yeah, Ram Jam was the finisher, bro. You've never seen that movie. They used to fucking do this thing off the top. It's a long way to fall for a guy to be a wrestler. So as someone that didn't watch American Gladiator,

I just would have learned nothing? You would have probably had a little bit of a, not as positive of a, from the 15 minutes that I watched. They shouldn't have done the documentary then. Well, that's what we want. I think they want to open some eyes. It's still cool, yeah. Like you remember how sweet the Gladiator show actually was

and how ridiculous it would be if it was on TV today, like I wish it was. But it's really just about the guy who brought it to television being a complete dirtbag. Kind of the origin story too, right? Dude, that era, American gladiators, legends of the hidden

temple, guts, global guts, cat dog. Yeah, you guys are talking about scripted stuff. I'm talking about game shows for kids But certain shows Certain shows that existed That time what a run

I mean we're not going to get through this without saying Saved by the Bell Of course Fresh Prince They tried to bring it back with Hulk Hogan And Layla Ali How did that do What happened Fresh Prince used to be We do? What happened? Whatever happened to that one?

Fresh Prince used to be. We can't say that no more. Why? The new one? Bel-Air? There's a new one? Bel-Air on Peacock. It's a lot more serious vibes. Who was in it? Post Uncle Phil. It's the new era of

Bel-Air. Wow. Never seen it. Whatever happened to that? We don't know, yeah. It's the new era of Bel-Air. Wow. Never seen it. Whatever happened to that man? I never heard of him. You don't like it? No. Why don't you like it? What happened?

You're Team Jada. Yeah, I'm Team Jada. What? I'm not. Are you? I don't know. Or Team Will because growing up watching first prints of Bel-Air, it came off as, you know, Will was our guy.

And then when you go back and hear this shit that's going on, like, just changed my whole outlook of the Fresh Prince and Will Smith. Yeah, okay, I understand. You weren't the only one. I think a lot of people. Don't feel like you are in the minority. You are in the big majority. You've got to separate artists from art there.

See, that is somebody that's on the opposite side. What happened to Joe Thomas' Gladiator show? Titans. That was Dwayne Johnson. That was Dwayne Johnson. What happened to those? Are we still doing those? I don't know. It feels like a lot of programs are changing nowadays

on main shows. Especially Dewey's. What? Excuse me? What? Let's get to a break. Bringing it up. What's your problem? No problem.

I'm just saying, specifically with one person, programs are changing. I don't know. The TV show I saw he put out the other day on his Instagram, he was lifted. He still got it. Yes, he does. This is season 950. And episode 4, still fucking big. Hell yeah. Isn't it, AJ?

That's what he should make. He does. Just one minute episodes. Terramana sold like $40 billion in one year. So much. All these deals everybody's getting like Clooney got a bunch of money, Ryan got a bunch of money, all these alcohol companies money. What Terramana sells for and what Dwayne Johnson gets from this is going to be a a bunch of money, all these alcohol companies' money. What the... What

Taramana sells for and what Wayne Johnson gets from this is going to be a hysterical reaction. Selling like 7X with all those guys for selling. Yeah, it's like a higher quality too. Yeah. Is it really? Oh yeah. Do they have it at most places? Like if you go to restaurants, do they have it?

Oh yeah. It's everywhere now. So like, I'm not a massive tequila guy, but I didn't mind it. Mine was good. It was tequila. Yeah. Pretty smooth. Yeah, it was good. It was good.

Like that 1942 or whatever is the. Yeah, top shelf. Also love that. And what's that shit that comes with that one with the bell on the top? Castle. White and blue bottle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know the name because i'm not

tequila guy but yeah guys people always order that stuff boom yeah and then i was at a place where a guy brought it that guy was warren moon he brought that piece drank that was the first time i was introduced weapon i do believe he and i took down a majority of that bottle how much has rock tequila's business? 3.5 billion. Terra Mana has sold over 600,000. So it's up over... His new projection was like two days ago, three days ago. They're up over a million bottles sold. Yeah.

Yeah. Man. That's probably... It was over 30%, they said. Yeah, 30%. That's a good amount. Not bad. Perfect.

That is. Good business, Dewey. He said he'd been waiting for the right one. He found it. He'd been scouring the fields to find the proper... Mana? Avocado? No.

Agave? Agave. The proper agave. And he found it with Terra Mana. Good for him. How about Paul and KSI with that Prime drink? Prime, yeah. That thing is exploding.

Every kid loves Prime, by the way. Every kid I'm ever around, that's all they want is Prime. Logan said on the show, this is the one. You see, you know how there's always like, hey, get a piece of this business, get a piece of this business, get a piece of this business. He's like, Prime, this is the one. This is the one that's going to get, he's right. It's like Gatorade?

Yeah, but less sugar, I think. Oh, yeah. Let's get to a break. That's a good claim. Whoa. Hey, slow down. I haven't looked at the bottle, but yeah, that's what they say. I think it's less sugar.

It's like Gatorade, but better for you. Yeah, but you're phrasing what you said. I do believe it is holding up to be true. I think they supplied the man thing, too. They ran out. Oh, yeah. Always a good problem. Yeah, definitely.

Good for them, man. And it's now the exclusive drink of the UFC as well. I'm sure that doesn't hurt. Well, not good for him until he releases the video, but I guess, whatever. UFO video. Yeah. Need that. Did you learn anything from the 1030 NASA meeting?

I haven't watched it yet. 17 minutes. I haven't had a chance. Well, who's supposed to watch it if you don't watch it for this program? Yeah. I watched it this evening. You'll find 17 minutes uninterrupted? Yeah.

When he's dumping. That's the boy. The aches. That's a long dump. 17 minutes? Your feet, you would lose feeling in your feet. You would lose feeling in the feet. I've had a couple of those where you go to stand up, oh, my feet don't work.

Oh, yeah. Wait a second. Been dumping too long. Those are great dumps. How do you do the shake? You can't because you can't bounce on one leg You just gotta hope they come back What if they never wake up one day? I'll think about that a couple times It's a nightmare

It really is Imagine having them Jelly legs constantly Isn't that what Shaq Leonard said? His ankle felt like it was just like a sleep. Yeah, that's the worst. Oh, my God. You feel like you're rolling your ankle every step.

Oh, my God. This whole thing could blow any moment. It's absurd. I took way too long of a dump. That man right there, to my left, your right, is a college football national champion. What? A Super Bowl champion.

I think people forget about how accomplished those accomplishments are. We need a list to pop up. Holy shit, dude. Thank you for being here, A.J. Good to be here, guys. True honor. All right. Now, what you were saying you were going to say before we went to the break,

please tell me. The Talks Table at Boss Conner and Attai Schmidt. One half of the Hammer. Cowboys, Tony Diggs. 14-year NFL icon, Pac-Man Jones. And now, AJ, please, let's digest this breaking news and let's dive into this sports program a little deeper. Rip it.

Yeah, I can't wait. I don't know. Whatever you think. I don't know if this is something you guys talk about during the breaks because I'm not there and we're off the air. You try to come up with little schemes like this to throw breaking news situations to me, but you know I don't have anything, especially today.

This is disgusting. Why would you ever let me tell the people right before the break as a breaking news? Why would you ever let me tell them that and then on the other side say, I don't know. Yeah. Why would you ever, like, let me tell them that? And then on the other side say, I don't know. I got nothing to talk about. I thought it was you.

It was your program. I thought for sure you had great breaking news coming up. Didn't he say? You said it. That was a great tease. You said it. You said it. Check the tape, Z.

Not on the tape. In the group text. Yeah, he said it. Hey, wait until you see what I got going back. Oh, he unsent it. He unsent it. Oh, interesting. He unsent it. Yeah, he said it. Hey, wait till you see what I got going back. Oh, he unsent it. He unsent it. Oh, interesting. That's just, wow, you can do that now.

Okay. You dirtbag. Guy never participates in the group text. Ever. Then when he does, he leads me astray for our people. And then he unsends it so he never even sent it. This guy. He's come back.

He sucks. I have some breaking news, I guess. Harry Kane. Harry Kane. Soccer player. Still thinking about kicking footballs. Here we go, Harry. You think he can? Is there carryover?

Yes, certainly carryover. I think a lot of soccer players have had success kicking footballs. I do believe, though, that there are soccer players who are very good at soccer who would not be able to pick up the stroke that it takes to elevate a football at the rate in which it needs to be elevated because the way their stroke is. So, like, I was very lucky that my soccer style of kicking a soccer ball transitioned right into kicking a football. Had a lot more control with a soccer ball for the early portions of my career. But my swing was one that it was the trajectory level of the ball was kind of immediate

which was a big deal there's some guys that have to work on that and drive it a little bit and there's a lot of soccer players that are good at kicking balls i understand that but if harry kane naturally has the trajectory of the ball definitely could figure it out and it appears if he does he's kicking off a tee there so it's impossible to judge. But, I mean, that was a pretty horrible-looking attempt at kicking a football. But his swing does seem to go up and through it. He was a free-kick taker, a penalty taker. He's a great striker of a ball.

I will assume Ari Kane will be able to figure it out, although that video is doing nothing for me in this particular conversation. He's only 29, so this has got to be years and years away, too, I assume. I don't think Harry Kane's respecting the football kickers enough, to be honest with you. Nah, I think you're wrong. I think Harry Kane figured it the fuck out. You should pee his ass.

Absolutely. I don't think it's as easy as like, hey, I want to play in the NFL, so I'm going to go over there and do it. Yeah, there's 32 jobs, so there's not a lot of jobs, and there's a lot of guys that have focused on this for a large majority of their life, and it is, Yeah, there's 32 jobs, so there's not a lot of jobs. There's a lot of guys that have focused on this for a large majority of their life. And it is like sweet spot this big, so like very, very small. And you have to be exact. Like you have to be exact.

So like when he's hitting a free kick or something and he misses a little bit but it still goes in the area, like with a football, that's probably going to miss a little bit. Way off. It's probably not. It's potentially going to do that. A soccer ball is much more forgiving than a football, that's probably going to miss a little bit. Way off. It's probably not. It's potentially going to do that. A soccer ball is much more forgiving than a football is. With that being said, I believe Harry Kane will be able to figure out

how to hit a football through the uprights if he had to. Now, will he be able to, as a soccer player, just decide to sit there for fucking four quarters? That was a tough thing for me that was a very that was a very difficult thing for me who my introduction to football was like literally just showing up on Fridays I played soccer I was supposed to go on and play soccer for a living not football for a living so like that was way before I started football that was kind of everybody's thoughts so hey we'll kick on Fridays like to do that thing but this is kind of everybody's thoughts. So, hey, we'll kick on Fridays to do that thing, but this is kind of the avenue.

And then it all flips so that I get dropped into the football world. I am wildly bored. You know what I mean? I am like, holy shit, I'm literally just standing here for a large portion of this game, and then when I go out, I have to be on. And if I'm not on, there's no, like, make-up. Like, you can't, like, give extra effort because you missed the ball or missed the kick.

You can't go try to make another play to make up for it. Like, if you give away a ball in soccer, you're probably chasing that motherfucker all the way back to get the ball back. Like, in football, that shit doesn't happen if you're a kicker. You miss, you go shit on the sideline. Yeah. 35 minutes, okay, and everybody hates you. Yeah. Including the guy that's holding the ball for you.

They're not happy about it you have no allies for 35 40 minutes and then you got to go back out there keep yourself warm and be perfect again and that's why you see so many kickers like fucking come and go follow up believe eric kane could figure all this out i believe that as the elite top tier ball striker that he is yeah i still I still – I'm not sure if he could. But you said that I think it was last week where, you know, you missed what at West Virginia once in the O-line turnaround. Okay, don't – we don't fucking do that here, okay? That was an extra point, yeah.

Does that happen in soccer often? I don't think so. Where Kane will miss a free kick by this much? But there's a chance. Aerie Kane. We're talking about Aerie Kane. I. We're talking about Aerie Kane. I know we're talking about Aerie Kane. It was always Aerie.

We're talking about Aerie Kane. He's one of our own. Let's have a little bit of respect for Aerie Kane. Absolutely. Aerie Kane. But I'm not giving everybody. Okay, I'm not giving everybody that has played soccer at a high level being like, yeah, they can go to the NFL. Which a lot of people do.

A lot of people, oh, a professional soccer player would be able to get in the NFL. Nah, not like that. A they can go to the NFL. Which a lot of people do. A lot of people, oh, a professional soccer player would be able to get in the NFL. Nah, not like that. Harry Kane? Harry Kane. It's not like he just came out and said this. Strahan asked him about it, okay? Yeah, he said, I would love to give it a go. We'll give it a go. And also, he hasn't mentioned retirement, right? I mean, he's definitely playing in the next World Cup. We are, like, this is, and

who knows if once you've been playing soccer that long at, like, 37 or whatever, you want to go play football. Tony Miola even told us about the boredom thing. Yeah. Tony Miola after who should be the coach of the men's national team. He should. Right now.

This guy's watching every soccer game that's happening around the entire globe at all times. Exactly. Can we call him? Can we call Tony Miola? This is a part of our program. It's a good segment. I love this segment.

I do love this segment. Tony Miola, former U.S of our program. It's a good segment. I love this segment. I do love this segment. Tony Miola, former U.S. Men's National Team goalkeeper, stud athlete, kicked in the NFL I think for like two weeks in preseason.

Great hair. Great hair. Did a backflip. Like the first MLS game, I think it was the first MLS game, they did like a coin toss. And I believe,

I think so. I mean, this was a long time ago. I believe he said, hey, you want to flip for it? And he did a back flip standing there. And then he said, oh, I'm going to toss a coin. Freak show athlete. His son now, I believe, professional baseball player.

And still, all the way into the soccer world. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now, our soccer brain, Tony Mula. Hey! How are you, Tony? What's up, fellas? Hey, Paizan, thank you for answering out of nowhere, okay?

This latest installment of Tony Miola would know this answer. We do not know this answer. Thank you for answering. Erie Kane. Hey, Erie Kane has talked about potentially going to kick in the NFL at some point in his life. Obviously, you did that as well. Do you believe that's something he could accomplish? And what was the thing that you hated most about?

I saw someone tweeted at me today and said, you better talk to Harry Kane. Here's my advice. Go stand on the sideline of a game and then see if you have the guts to do it once you see those guys banging each other around on the field. I didn't have that choice. I was dumb enough to go, yeah, I can do this right now. Yeah, but I'm going to reach out to him at some point and let him know what's up, man.

So you don't think, you're saying, hey, this is a lot different than you just kicking a ball is what you're saying? Yeah, the kicking the ball is no problem. It's the other 21 guys that are the problem on the field. I can tell you that. You know that. Yeah, I do. But I just assumed Harry Kane could figure it out.

I assumed that you'd be able to figure it out as well. And I assume if you would have focused on it, you would have been able to. Massive leg, hit goal kicks a long way. But this is obviously a conversation that everybody just assumes that every professional soccer player could just be a kicker in the NFL I think people that don't fully understand it so I appreciate you saying what you're saying right now I think all kickers appreciate what you're saying right now yeah look it it's uh I know a lot of soccer players and a lot of them can kick far but not not a lot of them are tough enough to do that I'm gonna have to have

a word with Harry Kane I guarantee you that okay speaking of having a word with people, are you our head coach? Are you the head coach? Here we go. Are you the head coach? Something good. Are you one of them? I mean, the way it's going, I mean, eventually I'm going to get there, right? Okay.

Just keep moving down the line. I don't know what to offer you here. I really don't have any idea what to offer you. What's going on with that? Do we have a coach or no coach right now? No, I have a real problem with the fact that we're the U.S. and we don't have a coach. What are we, five months

out of the World Cup, six months out of the World Cup? I don't know what the hell they're waiting for. They keep telling me about this blank canvas. Well, the canvas is still blank right now, as far as I can see. Yeah, somebody needs a Bob Ross system. Tony has a question for you, Mr. can see. Yeah, somebody needs a Bob Ross system. Tony has a question for you, Mr. Mule.

Yeah, if it's not you, what about Jesse Marsh? He coaches in the EPL. He's a U.S. He's a guy from the U.S. That makes sense, right? Yeah, look, if that's your guy, go hire him. He's out of a job. Like, what are we waiting for?

I just don't get it. If you tell me that's the guy, perfect. I'm behind him. Matter of fact, I'm behind whoever they hire. Is this a thing? What are we doing here? This is a thing, huh? You're not happy about this. Have you told a lot of people?

No, no. I haven't been happy for months about this, so you struck a chord, man. Oh, no. Holy hell. I want to make it better. I'll tell you that. I'm playing on us winning this World Cup, Tony. Connor has a question for you.

Yeah, Tony, is Methi coming over to Inter Milan soon? Word on the street is that Barcelona might be sending them over. Inter Miami, yeah. Word on the street is that they're going to cut a deal that, you know, one of those, I'm going to make you a deal you can't refuse. You know, part of the club, part

of the Apple subscriptions to the television stuff. I mean, that's the word on the street right now. I'd love to see them in Miami because I think it would do great things. This is real? Yeah. Matthew? Matthew coming to America. He's been playing the MLS?

No way. We're trying, man. They're doing everything. They may as well give him the league at this point, the way it's going. They kind of did that with Beckham, didn't they? Didn't they do that with Beckham? I remember when Beckham signed signed his deal it was like he's making 750 000 an hour for the next 20 years or something i forget like it was broken down as an mls deal was obscene insane

they're like yeah but he also got ownership he got all these other things that kind of went into it that's not a bad decision especially with well he had remember messy at the time had a deal of 25 million to have the market in Miami. If you think about the league, that was the most expensive piece of real estate left to buy, and now he's the owner there. So he's the guy that's going to bring Messi in. So he's got a chunk to give to him, that's for sure. That's brilliant.

And Messi is someone who could go and maybe kick for the Dolphins. So Messi is an incredible ball striker. That is somebody that could figure it out. It's all about the balls, right? Kicking the balls and all that.

Saving the balls. Yeah. They used to do that. As you did. Hey, coach, can't wait for you to win the World Cup.

Let's get this man hired. Please. Right now. Do you want, hey, do you want, is that a job you want? Yes?

No? Yeah, apparently I don't have the interview. They're just going to keep going one guy after another. And before you know it, the phone will ring. Okay. I'd love it, man.

Let's go. Here we go. Ladies and gentlemen, future coach of the U.S. Men's National Team, Tony Mule. Yeah, Tony. He's answered a cold call in his fucking basement. Yeah, he does that. He's ready to kill someone. He's going to crack some skulls down there.

When you hear somebody who has the resume that he has with the U.S. men's national team, and then also the passion, that guy is fucking passionate. For sure. And I ain't going anywhere. It doesn't sound like AJ. Who makes the decision? Who's doing the hiring? Who's the head of the U.S. soccer?

I tried to look into it. I don't know, man. I thought it was Biden. I came up. Yep. I don't think he appoints him. of staff chief of staff chief of staff chief of staff u.s women's national teams coach i don't know i don't know if that that's how it works i'm alarmed though i'm perturbed yeah that's a massive bummer but talking to tony i mean tony

is like our soccer joe dinardo that's kind of how I look at him now. Yeah, and he just predicted on the Doppler Mephi coming to Miami. That's a big deal. Huge. Barcelona for 6 to 18 months, it said, on loan so they could circumvent their financial restrictions and then he'd come to Miami after that.

So they have to save their business. So when you left, we collapsed. Need you to come back, save it, and then we'll let you go down to Beckham's town. Exactly. And Beckham, I think that deal was like $25 million to start, and now it's worth like $700 million. Good business.

His son also on the team. Beckham's son. Really? Really. Talented player. David Beckham's the reason why I wanted to kick the ball harder than everybody else, because he had a World Cup when he was young,

and he had PK, I think, and they said like 90 miles an hour or something like that. I had 92 maybe. I forget what it was. And I was like, God damn, he can kick a ball that hard? And then you start thinking about what would happen to a goalie if he were to kick a ball that hard? It's like, I'm going to try to fucking kick a ball real, real hard. I broke a guy's arm one time with a soccer ball.

No big deal. As a kid. Want to save it? Boom ball. No big deal. That's a kid. Want to save it? Boom. Broken. See ya. Everybody stops to play. I go finish it, obviously, then take a knee.

Yep. I felt terrible for the kid. You need to score. You got to score. Make sure the job's done. Why did soccer do that? Why did soccer start that young and they take a knee when somebody's hurt? I disagree with that.

I was not great at it either. I mean, I can certainly judge. I kicked the ball, broke a kid's arm, and then while everybody was taking it, I was finishing the goal. People did not like me in there. Trying to win out here? Who's that little fucking asshole? I believe my mom had to do so many battles, I guess.

I'd assume on the sideline. Yeah, that's my kid. Fucking 2-0. That's goal form. The second one. Sorry about it. I loved soccer growing up, man. Committed my whole life That's goal form. The second one. Sorry about it. I loved soccer growing up, man. Committed my whole life to it.

Did you watch it a lot? No, that's what I... As I've gotten older, I've watched more soccer. There's a lot of times I'm like, man, I should have been watching this. Probably would have been maybe more invested or liked it more. Probably would have been a little better, too. I think it was a big night at MLS tonight. Dude, that's what I'm talking about.

They go to Apple, gone. Yeah. They had a little bit, weren't they? Hey, weren't they a little bit? I guess this way. They were going like this a little bit after. You're never going to stumble upon it on Apple TV right now. No, and it feels like the clips.

That's the problem. You got to go find it. No clips either. I've not seen a lot of clips. They might have a big night tonight, though, with the series finale of Ted Lasso. People getting the soccer bug after that pop over for the late game in the MLS. Because the streaming is certainly the future. Yes. Everybody agrees

with this. I actually said this while I spoke to a bunch of suits. Streaming, but when? You know? Like, MLS making this deal, they got $250 million or $350 million. I forget what the money was. I think $250 million. $250 million maybe a year. Great. A lot of money. Yeah. Everybody was like, holy shit, that's a lot of money.

But at what cost long term? Yeah. Because I feel like it was gaining steam. And I guess Apple was buying in that when the World Cup comes back, everybody will be reinvested and they'll come in over there. But I feel like the MLS was really starting to go. And then all of a sudden, boom. And I'm not saying that we were at any scale of that. But I thought about that whenever, you know, I'm thinking about taking our place to a network because a lot of those streaming places were in the conversation.

And it's like, hey, yeah, definitely the future. Definitely the future. But currently, like, would not be the right time for us to just kind of eliminate potentially people that could happen upon, which like YouTube does and everything like that. I feel like digitally MLS was kind of going there. Are they playing right now? They are. The season has already started. So the only highlights I've seen, and this is me being a stooge and I am an idiot and I understand like that, but

follow some soccer people. So you think some of them will come into my life. Only see English Premier League. Exactly. Oh yeah. And the Pittsburgh Riverhounds beating MLS teams. That's the only thing that I've seen in my thing. I didn't know. They're all playing right now? Yeah.

And you're at $250 million a year. Damn, still got it. Yeah. And Apple is the place to be. Like, if you're at the MLS, it's like, yeah, it's not here yet as far as, like, streaming age is officially, you know, the only thing people are doing right now. But Apple, it feels like has the legs. They should have kept one game, I think. They should have, yeah. You know think. They should have, yeah.

You know what I mean? Like one... You know what I'm saying, AJ? Yeah. Then you could push people to Apple TV through that game that's on a bigger platform that more people have. So that one's on FS1, top left.

Okay. Oh, okay. So one is on FS1. Bottom right, TSN. Top left. Oh, okay. Also, oh, it's on Apple TV and FS1. Yeah.

And those other games, they're just not being played anywhere? No, they're all on Apple. Okay, so just the free ones, you've got to pay for the other ones? Okay, man, maybe it's just our fault we're missing it. I just thought they had good juice going. Is that a package or you've got to pay per game? I think it's free if you subscribe to Apple TV. It's a season pass.

But you're right because they have the prominent header there on Apple TV when you open it, but you don't ever see clips online or anything like that. They don't even have a little highlight package that you can watch on there. Normally, I'd see Jose Martinez of the Atlanta United doing so many cool things, and I haven't seen any of it. No. We need to be better at that. FS1 tonight. It will be better. See you there. Are you going to

watch? Except did that say May 31st? I don't think it did. It did. It did? Okay. Yeah. I'll be there then. Just pay attention. Okay. Well I was trying to see where the networks were. That's the only thing. That's what I was looking for. They need one game though in a prominent spot. When it was on ESPN, it was just so easy to find.

Very simple. That it was just like, okay, there's nothing else on it. I'll put it there. But in the future, brilliant. But how many years is the future? The MLS Cup in Orlando was great. Hey, isn't that a whole conversation? Yeah, Orlando.

When it was in the bubble. Yeah, that was great. It was fucking awesome. It was hilarious. Then the World Cup happened, right? It might have been Europe. That got postponed a year. Maybe the Europes. Sorry, the Europes. Yeah, that was great. It was fucking awesome. It was hilarious. Then the World Cup happened, right? It might have been Europe. That got postponed a year. Maybe the Europe's.

Sorry, the Europe's. Yeah, Europe's. And then World Cup. Yeah. And then, I mean, it was like soccer was doing it. Oh, yeah. Gaining steam. We won the Concava.

Cutter really. And MLS was the one, and we were getting meth-y. Exactly. I was going to say that Cutter really fucked it because normally it's on its own stage during the summer, but it was during this football season. But that final that rolled into that NFL Sunday was a great day. That was so sweet. I forgot about how awesome that was.

Yeah, and Matthew was still playing. All right, soccer's doing it. France defended champs. Let's hire Tony Miola. That's going to be fun. Or Thierry Henry. Or Thierry Henry, yeah. Love Thierry Henry. He said he wanted it. So Tony Miola. That's right. defense. Or Thierry Henry. Or Thierry Henry, yeah. Yeah. Love Thierry Henry.

He said he wanted it. So Tony Miola. That's right. Yeah. Well, Tony's pissed. I don't know if he can get over his anger. He seemed genuinely shoot mad there. He's one of the coolest looking soccer players of all time.

You got to give an interview at least, right? So I was asking him, like, hey, is this a real thing? Like, you want to be... He said, well, you got to get an interview. Oh, so he's like shoot pissed he hasn't a real thing? Like, you want to be? He said, well, you got to get an interview. Oh, so he's like, shoot, pissed. He hasn't got interviewed yet. Oh, yeah. He's like, you can't even take an hour to fucking hear me out on what I would be.

I'm Tony fucking Mule. And that's probably the problem, though, is because next time he goes in there for an interview, he's going to grab some guy by the fucking tie and slam his head off a table. Son of a bitch. Give me the fucking job. Look how cool that guy is. Jeez. Oh, is that the captain's patch on his arm?

Yeah, it is. Make him the coach. Yeah's patch on his arm? Yeah, it is. Make him the coach. Yeah, captain's on his goalie jersey. The strap around there, that's actually for future coach. Boom. Boom. They called it back then. Yeah.

Every goalie in America tried to buy that thing. There was also a red and yellow one, I believe. That looks like Furio from Sopranos. All right, let's go to the fence. Super Italian, Tony Mioli. Yeah. Holy shit. Chef Boyardee. He didnos. All right, let's go to the fence. Super Italian, Tony Miola. Yeah. Holy shit. With Chef Boyardee.

He didn't even notice. He didn't even notice my horn. We have the same first two names. You do, don't you? Your middle name's Miola. Tony Giovanni. Tony. Anthony Michael.

Oh. Oh. Well, paisanos have great names. Yes, they do. If it would have been Giovanni, oh, my God. Anthony Giovanni. DiGiulio. DiGiulio.

Boy. This guy's hitting a cowboy hat. Is your dad going to Italy right now? He is. He's in Milan right now. Wow. What's he doing? Dude, he posted his flight track.

Then he had his flex and his Italian flag emoji afterwards. I was like, is Coach actually going right now or he's like dreaming he's going? Yeah, he's got to take two weeks in Italy. Coach, go enjoy yourself. Give it up, Coach. Eat all the gabagool. All the gabagool. And fresh moots. And fresh moots.

And also, try to work some things over there, you know? Yeah. Let's get Tony on interview. Please. Or find someone over there, you know? Yeah. Let's get Tony on interview. Please. Or find someone over there, maybe. Let's go to Josh in Cleveland on the 5-Hour RNG phone line. Josh, what's going on, pal? How you doing, boys? Keep it moving, dude.

Hell yeah. All right. Congratulations on selling out. Thank you. I wish I could make the bet like that. Well, nobody knows what the bet is. Probably going to be the best thing on ESPN anyway. So, let's go.

Very nice of you. There's a lot of good talent in here. But I got to stand up for my boy, Boston Connor. A couple weeks ago, he made some valid points for a fraudulent fan out there. Mr. Fairwear Weather Fan, Glory Hound himself, the freaking fireman head. Whoa! He's going to get posted. He's going to get just little pigs licking from the so-called fireman.

Whatever. But he's talking about it's hard being a Jets fan. 26 years. See people? Harlem. 26 years running towards fires. That's right. Not away from them, Josh.

What team are you a fan of? Guess what? Try being a Browns fan for your whole life. How many fires have been going on that stadium my whole life and watching great players just waste away their career there while we have fans throwing bottles at freaking refs and Joe Thomas, the greatest

left tackle of all time, blocking for Jake the Loam and Brady Quinn, my greatest left tackle of all time, blocking for Jake Salome and Brady Quinn. Oh, Brady Quinn. Family shots. It's a family program. Blow, blow. Jeez Louise, Josh. I'm not being disrespectful.

It's just a fact. What did they do? And it was so bad. Pat, let me tell you, fans were begging the Browns to trade Joe Thomas to the freaking Broncos just because we didn't want to see Joe walk out with that great Hall of Fame career without a ring. Yeah. All right? That's nice of you guys.

That's why it's like being a Browns fan. That's very nice of you, Dog Pound. I mean, the Dog Pound's always going to go wild. We saw Baker win us a freaking chance. You're telling me none of those dogs Josh, Josh you're telling me none of those dogs in a dog pound

took their masks off one or two Sundays because of what was going on in Cleveland? Yeah, dude, what? We got excited for Johnny Manziel. Are you kidding me? We have a dude named Pumpkinhead who goes to every single game dressed up like a Halloween character.

And we're really selling out the Muni Lab. We're getting drunk. We're breaking tables. We're not all flashy like the Bills fans, but they are always there showing up, Browns fans. No matter what. We put an elf in the freaking stadium. We're still showing up.

Yeah, true. You like MGK? You like MGK? No matter what We put an elf In the freaking stadium We're still showing up Yeah True You like MGK? You like MGK? He's from Cleveland He's from the land Yeah What about The Miz? I do like MGK

I like the rapper More than I like The pop star But you know No disrespect You know Artist He's got to do his own thing

A lot of us feel that way Yeah I saw MGK first On worldstarhiphop.com. He was freestyling in the front seat of a car, and it was fucking unbelievable. Followed him on Twitter. Followed the old block.

I think he had like 10,000 followers at the time. Now he's just selling out arenas completely different. Yeah. But he's from the land. You got to make your bag. You know what I mean? He sold out. Whoa!

You know what I mean? Josh, bringing the heat. Whoa! Come on. You know what I mean? Josh, bringing the heat. Jeez Louise, dude. Fireman Ed, taking a lot of shrapnel. He won me over on the call. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. A lot of Jets fans that I know say, hey, thank you for doing that.

Yeah, but who are the Jets fans that you know? A bunch of them. Because when I went to college, there were a lot of Jets fans. Like we've talked about with Connecticut. There's Giants, there's Patriots, and there a lot of Jets fans. Like we've talked about with Connecticut. There's Giants, there's Patriots, and there's the trash Jets. And that holds true on Long Island and in New Jersey

and from, obviously, New York. Way to do on Long Island there. Of course. You really cultured. I would never ever disrespect the Japan of America. AJ, what was... Well said. Okay. Is that what they call it? Yep. Basically. I did not know that. Okay. Because of the

shape of the island and because it's on the right side of the country, similar to how Japan's to the right of China. You know, I've been to Japan for a USO tour. Our map of Japan looks different than Russia's map of Japan, I guess. Yeah. This is what I've

been told. There's an island up yonder that. Yeah. This is what I've been told. Yeah. There's an island up yonder that is, you know, one down yonder. And our map of the world is different than, you know, other people's maps of the world as well. Yeah. Flat Earth. Ah, all right. Just looks different than the globe. I'm just saying. People who think Pangea still exists.

What's that? There are people out there. How would that work? Don't people fly and just say, oh, there's water? How would flat earth work? Well, they say. Tony, you should look into it. Connor, that could not be something you're on.

I'm not in it. I'm just saying I watched a video thread. How long of your life? How long of your life? How long of your life? Did it take for me to watch this whole thing? Yeah. An hour and a half. What are you doing?

It's the guy who doesn't believe it in the beginning, and then he walks you through everything, and then at the end he's like, see, I fucking believe it now. It ruined my life. Don't you understand? But have you seen the one where it's a flat earther who walks you through flat earth the entire time, and in the end he doesn't believe in't you understand? But have you seen the one where it's a flat earther who walks you through flat

earth the entire time and in the end, he doesn't believe in flat earth anymore. I've also seen that. He hops on a plane, flies to Japan, and in doing so, he flies up over Canada, I guess because that's what the map tells me on the screen. So I just have to believe it. But also, when you look out, it's like, oh, there is a curvature there.

Yeah. Well, that's the thing about people who stand when you stand on shore. You should be able to see. The idea was quickly rejected by the scientific community primarily because the actual forces generated by the rotation of the Earth were calculated to be insufficient to move continents is why Pangea is not... Oh, like Pangea never happened.

That's not how I took that. You said... You said they're still connected. You said they're still connected. That one's a little easier to debunk. You said they're still connected. Yeah. Okay. It's a little easier to debunk. Yeah, flying Arizona is easy. I've seen an American bald eagle flying over my house last night.

Really? How beautiful is that? Did you salute? I stopped. How big? Took the hat off. Took the cap off. Yeah, I took the cap off, and I just kind of looked at it.

You know what I mean? I just think I did one of these. The wife was right next to me. Baby was in a stroller. Yeah. And we just kind of stopped and just watched this thing. And it was certainly finding something to fucking kill. Yeah.

Hell yeah. And the thing that it was hunting, whether it was a fish or a tiny little creature, seemed to be a pretty good little match. Okay. Because that's some bitch right there was diving a couple times and it pulled off like that okay and then came back up didn't want to waste it and a couple other birds started coming with the fuckery so then this bird the eagle had to go with the fuck handle business in the sky first yep and it had to find what was on ground again. Watch it kind of boom, bingo.

And then Don, pick up fish, gone. Unbelievable performance. It was like three minutes. Eagles are unbelievable. They're so fucking big. How big was that one? How big was it? Laurie, it's like, I don't know.

I don't know if I've ever seen one flying around like that. Really, dude? It's a spectacle. As soon as you see the white heads start flying, it's like, all right. Oh, baby, here we go. Here we go. They are impressive.

Are they the big bird in Avatar at the top? That's a good question. I thought those would be like pterodactyls. You ever seen Land Down Under? Pterodactyls aren't currently. What's that? You ever seen Land Down Under? Is that animated? Of course not.

It's with Will Ferrell? No. It's Land of the Lost. No, it was an animated film when we were younger. It might have been Disney. Land Before Time. Land Before Time. No, Land Down Under. Like I'd come from a land down under. Anyways, it was about these birds and they had a chart of birds

because they had an airport for birds that used to land, and the albatross was the big one. Okay. Okay. I can look it up and see if it's around. Are the albatross still around? Yeah, they're around. Bro, because some of those eagles over there in those, like, Minnesota

and, like, I think, right? Massive. Have, like, five, six-foot wingspans. Yeah, and remember that one video of the guy played catch with one? Yes. Oh, man. Listen to Paradise City. Yeah.

Showcase the fish to the sky. So cool. And all of a sudden, this six foot tall fucking creature comes flying down, tosses it, catches it, flies off. It's like, this guy's playing catch with a fucking bald eagle. Yeah. I mean, what a time. They do that in Alaska, too.

That's one of the best videos. I'm going to go find that video later. I remember that. What else? There was somebody else that threw a bird. There was one. Did you see the one where a bald eagle or whatever big bird picked up this small-ish dog and carried it for a little while and then ended up dropping it?

Couldn't get it. I heard it was fake, actually, but it looked pretty cool. No, I guess the dog thing's a real deal. Yeah. Some of those big birds. Better be a small dog. They're it looked pretty cool. No, I guess the dog thing's a real deal. Yeah. Some of those big birds. Better be a small dog. They're not picking Chuck up. No.

There's no reason to body check Chuck. No. 15 eagles around. Seven to ten bald eagles came together, and they all got a piece of Chuck. They could get him three feet off the ground. Had a nanny at the house last night. I do well. Thank you.

I am spoiled. I got it. Yes. Okay? It was great. It was well. Thank you. I am spoiled. I got it. Yes. Okay. It was great. It was awesome. Wife and I got to sleep. Night nanny came by, saw Chuck, said, you know, she does corgi pre-pure wool.

So I had to ask, have you ever seen a corgi as large as this particular and she quickly said, absolutely not. Yeah. A little bit worried about old Chuck. Oh, my God. Me too. Chuck's heart's going to explode. Whoa.

If it's not his heart. I think it's up a tooth there, Glenn. What happens if all four of his legs break at once? Every once in a while, he'll be standing there, and his right leg will just start going like this. He's like, bro, you're way too young. Yeah. Way too young for this.

Chuck's going to be feeling this old. Huh? You need to go buy Chuck some dog CBD. I don't know about... I honestly don't know what... I don't know what we do. You need some doggy Ozempic. Yeah, I was just going to say, you got to start stabbing that thing with Ozempic.

Gastric bypass. What's that, pal? Gastric bypass for Chuck. Chuck will eat right through it. He'll take a 27-piece of bacon sandwich and blow that. Charlie Weiss. Jeez. That's what you should... That's his nickname. Chuck that. Charlie Weiss. Jeez. That's what you should nick.

That's his nickname. Chuck. Charlie Weiss. That's his name. East Louise. Whoa. Can dogs get lipo? We'll find out.

Yeah. We got to take Chuck to the doctor, mostly because we got to give Val to the doctor. Mm-hmm. Because Val jumps real high still. Mm-hmm. And then she jumps off things real high still. Bad on the joints? Yeah, I think she bruised like her

right hip or something like that. So they saying they got like those water treadmills. So we're going to put Val in those water treadmills. I'm like, we got another dog. Definitely need that one. Just need a real treadmill. That if you can just... How do you put a dog on a treadmill? I've tried this before. My dog used to run on a treadmill.

My whole name is Chuck. Hot dog on a treadmill. German Shepherd, right? Yeah, Belgian Malinois, but yeah, similar. Okay. Same thing. I think he's trying to run on a treadmill. Getting Chuck to run on a treadmill is hilariously uncomfortable.

In those things, though, they kind of like box him in. It's like the only option. Just feed him less. You control the food. Just feed him less. We do. I don't know what's happening. Honestly, I have no idea how this is happening.

It must be a thyroid situation. I hear people talk about that a lot. Three, four. Oh, man. Are you kidding me? Three, four. Ever since I've seen him, he's been gigantic. That's what I'm saying. I think it's the thyroid.

Thyroid. We got him. He was big, dude. He was big when we seen him. He's been gigantic. That's what I'm saying. I think it's the thyroid. Thyroid. We got him. He was big, dude. He was big when we got him. Thighs and steroids. He's like the only corgi in the history of corgis that has not been bought, pretty much. That's how we found him. Nobody will fucking buy this one.

Was he that big then, too? Yeah, when we got him, he was big. I thought these things were small. That big? He has grown. Compared to, which is good. That's what you're supposed to do. Yeah. Baby's getting big. Oh, yeah. Happens quick. She's getting very

quick. She outgrew a onesie yesterday. The magnet one? Zipper one. Magnet, the Thamel scent. Very nice of them. But the zipper one, we couldn't get it over her shoulders. It was like, okay, here we go. We're surviving. We're thriving.

We're growing. We're doing it all. Hell yeah. That's what it's all about. Parenting is better. All right, this is Angel's. Is Chuck eight feet closer to the camera? He's only 30.

So the dog on the left there is a Pit bull sharpay that's a pit bull sharpay dog this is photoshop that's valerie i fucking love her she's beat cancer four times she is the reason why fur the brand is a charity that pays for other people to give their dogs cancer treatments because when we found out how expensive her treatment was we thought to ourselves hey nobody can fucking afford this what are we even talking about so now you know she is the face of hopefully helping a lot of dogs and has our help and she's the fucking best and i love her and uh she's the first dog that i've actually and then next to her there that corgi that's chuck that's that's photoshop might be That's Photoshop. Might be angles. He might be a little closer to camera.

He's out angling Valerie for sure. But he's the largest corgi that's ever existed. Is there a way to get Chuck some of the extra skin Val has? Because that's what it feels like Chuck might need. So that would be the sharp pay in Val, the wrinkles in the skin there. Chuck, we don't know what's going to happen with Chuck. Well, is that a fupa?

Is that a fupa right there? I think we can guess what's going to happen to Chuck. He's got a big, barely chest. Heart disease. Diabetes. He just eats food. I mean, what are you...

He eats food, but that's why he's closer to the camera because there's three donuts behind him. He's about to bounce on them all. Chuck does not love donuts, but he will certainly eat anything that ends up on the ground. You don't say. He's doing great. Have you checked?

You know, the neighbors could be throwing like 44-ounce T-bone steaks just in the front yard that they're not finishing. Chuck might be. I haven't even thought of that. Yeah, it's possible. What if he was getting ghost fed? He could. It has to be. Yep. Wow. Thank you for that.

Yeah, it's certainly possible. We need to add some cameras to some trees. Can we get some contrast, though? Can you pull up another picture of maybe, say, another corgi that's not Chuck just to see what others may look like? So that's the thing. I don't think I've seen many corgis in real life, only on with the queen or whatever.

So I don't... The videos I've seen, they look... They must be puppies. You know what I mean? No, no. Gotta be. No, no, no. All of them.

Two different dogs. All of them. Let's go to the phones. Chuck's living his best life. Six-month-old corgis when I look them up. Never seen anything older than six months. Well, that's like the Kentucky Derby, bro. You know what I mean?

That's right. That's a puppy. No, no. That's a corgi. That thing. That's what a corgi looks like. That thing would disappear under Chuck. Three, four months old.

That corgi. That's Chuck's lung. Did Chuck look like that one time? Yeah. Yeah. I'll tell you what. Chuck's a good-looking dog, though, in the face especially. Chuck just rocked out that way. He'll tell you what. Chuck's a good looking dog though in the face especially. Chuck's just rocked out definitely.

Pretty dog. Could you imagine if he didn't eat ho-hos for the first three years of his life? He is a massive asshole too. Incredible personality because they're herding dogs, right? Corgis are actual.

Chuck is. Okay. It's in the DNA. The thought of being a herding dog is definitely there for Chuck. That's what I'm talking about. In theory, I'd love to herd these things. Herds a bunch of cold cuts into his... Humans would try to walk through.

He does. He does. Jersey mice. We feed him dog food. Okay. To be honest, I'm very... Every time I look at him, I get real confused on how he got to this point.

What have I missed? Apparently a lot. He has not missed anything. But the whole we need a Zempik. Dog Zempik. That's a puppy. These are all puppies. That's Corgi. I think he's got a full tail too. Who knows if it's even a Corgi. You know what I mean?

Feed it like two less Twinkies. He'll lose 20 pounds in a week. Stop eating the keto bread, bro. No, he's got a full tail, too. Who knows if it's even a corgi? You know what I mean? Feed it like two less Twinkies. He'll lose 20 pounds in a week. Stop eating the keto bread, bro. No, he doesn't eat the keto bread. We actually got specialty fucking dinners for this guy. Well, yeah, you have to. I mean, when your dog is Brendan Fraser from The Whale, there's a chance he defeated some different things.

Dude, he's handsome. Chuck is handsome. Yes, absolutely. He's handsome. Great dog's handsome. Chuck is handsome. Yes, absolutely. He's handsome. Great dog, too. He doesn't get tired either. He's still able to run. He runs a lot.

Well, are you fibbing? Dude, he'll run. He'll run. We got a hill in our front yard. He goes up and down that thing. Legit. Because I'm always like, he's going to die. He's running up that hill.

He's going to die. He'll go all the way up. And then he sprints downhill. Think about that. Think about that. Can he stop at the bottom? Yeah. And'll go all the way up. And then he sprints downhill. Think about that. Think about that. Can he stop at the bottom? Yeah. And his legs don't just give.

Every time he starts running, I'm like, well, this is going to be it. One of these days, he's going to start rolling. He's turning into Sonic the Hedgehog and take out fucking your house. There's a chance that he does get. He'll lay on his back, too. Watching him get, you know what I mean? Back to his. On all fours.

Oh, man. It's a task. He's doing. Like a turtle. That's what I pictured. He's going to live a long life, though. Well, I mean, in dog years. Absolutely.

He's 28. He's got a 5'4". We don't know. He'll get to at least 30 in dog years. For sure. Hopefully. About 18 months out. Chuck's too stubborn to die. 22 and 30.

How many pounds do you think Chuck was? 2.45 points. Most corgis will weigh between 22 and 30 pounds. A full-grown corgi is low to the ground and sturdy with a long body and fox-like appearance. Look how fat that one is right there. When measuring from the floor to the highest part of the shoulder, a corgi should stand

around 10 to 12 inches. See, he's taller than that, too. But that might be all the excess. Let's go to Matt in South Dakota. Hey, everybody needs to stop body shaming Chuck. I love Chuck, but sometimes you need to body shame to make a change. It was awesome. Sam posted a photo of our family or something like that.

Dog's in there. I think it was before Baby came. I don't remember. Before Baby. She posted it, and all the comments were like, holy shit. He's got to be real rude to Chuck. I'm like, well, don't let Chuck read it. He might change his entire, the way he goes about doing things. That fucker does need to Chuck. I'm like, well, don't let Chuck read it. He might change his entire, the way

he goes about doing things. That fucker does need to learn. He's tough though to teach. Love Chuck. Want the best for him. He'll do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. Of course. He's a corgi. Everyone wants a comeback. It'd be cool to see Chuck drop 60 pounds. See him feeling

good again. Feeling good again? What do you mean? He feels great right now. He's jumping up on it. He thinks he does. I mean, he thinks he does, but his joints have to just be absolute agony at all times. I agree, yeah. I think we're getting that stage here quickly

because he is still able to jump. Like, he gets up on the... He's... I'm not saying it. What? Don't say it. Pat? You won't.

Go ahead. So you know when Zion did did that dunk oh yeah he put in the dent in the floor yeah and then he did the thing yep so the other day chuck did this jump and it was like really like turned sideways when he landed i was like holy shit earthquake i thought like the amount of explosion these little legs have to have is so impressive to get that much ass up on a thing. And I immediately thought of when Zion, like, I checked our floor. I was like, Chuck's going to be all right. Almost knocked the couch over, right?

Left a crater in the ground or what? Yeah. All right. He's going to get better. Charlie Weiss did did it's hard dare i call andre the giant fat or just understand that he potentially had something charlie weiss yeah what an eating champion oh my god they said he did not care hey dude gotta stop he's like how you know how good this tastes and as somebody who loves to eat have you ever been hungry before as somebody loves to eat i love that he just literally sat in the pocket yep he was like no

now everybody on earth including him knows not good for you not healthy for you no he just did not give a fuck no i call these plays and i eat these bacon sandwiches okay this is what i do yeah keep them coming. Don't worry about it. Did not care at all. Weight is a real thing that... AJ, you don't have to deal with it, huh? You just have to...

No, you do. I mean, if I didn't do anything, if I didn't work out, I would definitely have to deal with it. Yeah, I think the ability, though, just to say I'm not eating anything good ever in my life is a tough one. For me, it's a very difficult one.

It's more diet than anything, right? I mean, if you're eating boiled chicken and white rice, you're going to be fine. You don't really need to work out that much. But if you don't work out and you're also eating fucking burgers and pizza and Jersey Mike's days a week, you're going to be in a bad spot.

There's some people, though, who can eat like me. Genetics are great. The packs are shit The nerds clusters He just eats candy and hearties I would be 400 pounds If I had the Pac-Man Jones diet

At one point in my life I did have it That's what I ate, I ate everything I guess I was so active Also metabolism rate when I was younger That just died off If I was to do what he would do My neck would get this big. My body would. It's phenomenal. I hope you enjoy

it. You know what I mean? It does feel like you do, too. It does feel like you enjoy it a lot. Like that Ardy's every morning. Oh my God, it looks so good. Smells so good. With jam. Yeah, it puts jam on a bacon biscuit. Yep. Bacon and cheese.

No egg. What flavor, Jam? No egg. Grape jelly. Is it not jam? Grape jam. biscuit yep yep oh bacon and cheese oh no egg what flavor job no egg grape jelly oh that was a shakira job it was grape in shakira's fridge too well was it so i heard who's she dating himmy butler trademark yeah maybe she's kind of playing the market right now. I believe it's Sir Lewis Hamilton. Really? They did say she was sweet on Jimmy Butler though because she was at one of the last Heat games and she was giving him eyes. Oh, really?

Was Jimmy giving her eyes? I don't see why not. Jimmy's so locked in. He is. What if they were? What if Shakira? Not that old. She's 40, right?

40 or higher? She's been around for like 25 years. Yeah, I thought she was 51. She's probably, I think. Yeah, 45. 46 years old. Oh, okay. Great.

She took over, huh? And then she just went international. She took over America. Oh, yeah. I was like, all right, that's been fun. Did it. And then just kind of go back international. Yep. And then she was married to that soccer player for's been fun. Did it. And then just kind of go back international. Yep.

And then she was married to that soccer player for a long time. Gerard Piquet. And it was the job. It was always the job. And it was his floozy who ate the job. Yeah. Yes. In their house.

Right. Their kitchen, their fridge, his floozy, her job. Her job. And he hates that job. That's how she knew. Who ate the job? I know you didn't. He should have replaced it.

He didn't know. He should have cheated on Shakira. Yeah. Okay, AJ? He was in the shower, and she had to go downstairs for a snack after a rampant night, and she said, oh, I love John.

Knocking boots for hours. So, of course, she had some job. For hours. Sewer boots. Yeah. Sorry. Think about how like he was probably

scared to death that Shakira was going to find out. Oh yeah. He had that house cleaned six times. Yep. Always. Need everything out of here. I never know about the job. Everything out of here. He opens that fridge, grabs a drink, doesn't even think about the fridge nope why would he shuts that thing yeah i need to clean this area please she comes back home he's babe welcome back

so confident i saw hola honey she says oh hey good to see you missed you grabs a biscuit puts oh i've been waiting for this. Opens up their fridge. Grabs the jam. Opens the jam. There's no jam. And it was at that moment. Yeah. PK knew.

Yeah, he said, the jam. Fuck. Fuck. Man. She's just eating it with her fingers. Not the jam. She eats so much jam. What's that, AJ?

We don't know for sure. And when you were talking, I started to think, like, that can't be exactly. Like, let's say, what if she wasn't eating the jam directly out of the jar? What if there were some mushroom stamps in the jar of jam she was servicing off of him? I thought the same. There's a chance. There's no way that he, knowing how much she likes the job. Yeah, not a chance.

You're saying he was dick stupid? He was upset at her. He was upset. So he just dipped that sucker on in there and she loved the job. And I think, real quick, I don't know. Honestly, we're learning too much about AJ already. Oh, I don't do that, but I don't judge anyone who does. I'm just saying.

Of course. Possible, you're saying. No judgment from me. Just, you know, be a good partner. You know what I mean? Saves the world. Makes life a lot easier. Buy some Smuckers.

Don't use her job. Buy Smuckers. That's smart. The squeezable. Squeezable is a lot easier. That's a crazy thing that that is. Think about PK. Is that his name?

It's public. It's that public. How did it get public? How did that get public? Because Shakira's people were probably like, yeah, we don't give a fuck if the reason's public. Yeah, right. Oh, sorry.

You guys, you don't want us to, you want us to settle this privately? Oh, okay. Cool. Yeah. We'll let one little thing out. All my John was missing. No John. He's allergic to my John.

We'll throw you a bone. We'll throw you a bone. Let's get a fence. Let's get a you a bone. Let's go to the fence. Let's go to Robert in Florida. What's up, Bob? Hey, how we doing? Keep it moving. What part of Florida? First time caller.

That's a town. Yeah, I had a couple questions and then a comment. First off, Pac-Man, my dog. I got my dog Bubba wears a 24 chain because of you, bro. Anyhow, I wanted to ask y'all. Dog, couple dogs. Yes, sir.

I wanted to ask y'all, like, who would you take? Settle a debate between me and a friend of mine. DJ Moore or Jalen Waddle? And then Boston Connor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me say this first though Because I know y'all got to keep it moving Take your time

Boston Connor, my dog I know all your teams eat ash But I wanted I'm going to miss hearing y'all talk about Chemtrails and vaccines Bashing them And government birds and all that And can we get Why is that? Why do you miss that, Robert? Why do you miss that? bashing them and government birds and all that. Yeah, that's the real.

Why is that? Why do you miss that, Robert? Why do you miss that? Because it's all facts and y'all can't say that on ESPN. You can't. I didn't know that. What the fuck, bro? How many times? What is the deal? How is this even how is this even happening?

Robert. Bob, if things come into our orbit, who would we be not to address them? How's this even happen? Robert. Robert. Bob. Bob, if things come into our orbit, who would we be not to address them? Now, we will be doing so in a manner as if we have no fucking idea what it is, as opposed to, hey, this should be your opinion. It's a little bit of a different situation. But I cannot reiterate this enough. How are they just going to recode my brain, which is the one.

Now, granted, there are people every single show, every single thing we talk about, Zito and others, feed me things to say, and then I just say them. You know what I mean? That's the show. Always has been. Every time you see me on a microphone, on any program that I've been on. The Draft, SmackDown, NXT, Game Day, this show

every single day. Literally, there's somebody telling me everything to say all the time. Okay? So now we are changing who that person is, I guess, and it will actually be Mickey Mouse himself that'll have the codes and the control of

everything that comes into my mouth. So I understand why everybody is scared of everything. Yes. Makes sense. In or out of your mouth? Well, it's going to come into my mouth from back here, and then it's certainly going to go out. It's going to be a double-sided.

Spit it out. It's going to be a double-sided situation. Yeah. Anyways. I'm looking forward to it. Me too. You know, I don't know how you're going to completely a double-sided situation. Anyways. I'm looking forward to it. Me too. You know, I don't know how you're going to completely recode how my brain operates or how a show goes that has no real direction wherever it starts. It's just like, hey, we're just talking.

That is what the show is. That is why the show happened. That is why the show is getting brought to ESPN and licensed to ESPN. So I don't know why everybody just says all these types of things but i don't want to address it all the time but somebody's going to call in the show and say to my fucking face that it's going to happen it's like okay this human actually believes this this human you think they just assume because they have never really heard that kind of stuff on espn that how how could we do it is that what they think you're right and i understand that this is

like the first for a long time. I guess first forever that has ever happened with them. I don't know. But like they're entrusting us a lot. But I feel that there is a way to do entertaining sports conversation. Absolutely. And you can just kind of just go. And that's what we do.

And that's what we'll continue to do until we can't do it anymore. And when we can't do it anymore, boys will do it. I'll just disappear to an island. I'll be an island boy. I'm just an island boy. But it won't be like that. It won't be like what everybody says. No chance. You know what I mean, AJ?

You know what I'm saying? AJ does know. But he said that's not them. You know that. Well, it wouldn't be me either, but I'm just saying, like, that is, I don't like that that happens, you know? Like, I don't enjoy that that is the immediate thought because it's still happening. People are saying that.

It's like, can we have a little bit of faith, please? I wouldn't just say, yeah, this is what I'm going to sign up for, especially in the situation that our company has been in. You know, a lot of people call me a sellout. It's like, yeah, we've been making a lot of money over here for a long time. Like, this is a business. Like Like everybody here makes money, good money. It is, we are very lucky that this is what we do for a living. And everybody's like, sell out, sell us out. It's like, we're almost broke a few years ago, like completely broken. And then now we have money. We've had it though. Like call us a sellout like a long time. So I

don't fully comprehend any of the things that are being said, but once again, when we get on there and the other side's going to kill us. Yeah, well, that's okay, because that's just people who would never like us. Yeah, and darken like what we're doing on there. They're not going to like that Connor believes that birds are fake.

But they're going to have to understand, though, that that human exists out there. That's right. You need to know that that human exists out there that you you need to know that that human exists they're gonna have to look into it and there's nothing wrong with that there's nothing wrong with it we will bury the human just like we always have i had somebody tell me like oh you won't talk about this because you sort out it's like there's shit that we've not talked about forever oh yeah that was a good one you know what i mean like there's stuff that we have not talked about forever. We would have never talked about that in our show's history. Yeah, but now that you're associated with it.

It's like, first of all, not there yet. Still here. Still our own operation. But this will be how it will be. I don't fully comprehend what people think will change about what we cover, how we cover. Because if you look at any of the shit we covered, it's like, who's going to hate us? Our demo is everybody so like we've been live every day for like four we haven't been just completely kicked off the internet canceled see and they do that to people oh yeah that happens on the

internet a lot it's like youtube's never been taken down and everybody's youtube has been taken down at some point i feel like bingo it's like, what do people think our show is, first of all, that don't know our show? They're like, oh, you're not going to be able to do any of that on ESPN. It's like, we're going to say shit on there, damn ass. I offered up to limit the fucks, just strictly because

don't need that to be the reason why people will say, oh, that's why I don't want to watch it, because there's some idiots that have that. It's like, so fucks will still slip by, might get beep there's some idiots that have that. It's like, so Fox will still slip by, might get beeped. Everything else is wide open. It's like, what else do we do that is potentially can't do that on ESPN?

I don't under, I feel like everything. I started the Bob and Tom show. So the Bob and Tom show's demographic was like, I'd say like 30 to like 70 or whatever. You know? So I've always like tried to think like, hey, let's, I swear, sorry, sue me. Yeah, sorry.

Always have. But like what we're covering, what we're talking about, like very rarely are people going to be incredibly furious at us. That's not allowed to be talked about. It's like, that's not how we are. I don't think, that seems to be a big misconception about what's going on. Yeah, it makes no sense.

I mean, I suppose get your licks in now while you still can. While, you know, nothing has happened on ESPN yet, that's probably the mindset of a lot of people. But, you know, again, time will tell. History will tell. And it could be absolutely terrible. It could be like they are not happy with what they're receiving from the other side.

Yeah, for sure. Right? The other side. too much blowback yeah they like them taking it on the shins you know for what we've done because it's going to be vastly different than what is normally like you said there's enough precedent out there that if they are going into this not knowing what they're getting then like that's that's kind of on you and jimmy has been jimmy patara though and burke both have been like, we're ready for it.

Yeah, they know. They're excited about it. I'm very excited. They've done their homework. The more we learn about it, the more we learn about it, the more we realize what we're going to be able to accomplish and do there and everything like that, let alone what other shows could potentially look like in the future

and what other shows have already started to look like. And TV. You know, and TV as a whole. It's like there's a lot of shit we could potentially do here. So I don't like, like I didn't like, that guy was so matter of fact right there. Yeah, but you can't comprehend it because they don't know what they're talking about. So it's like listening to something where you have no information about it. It's basically what I do, where you have no information about it,

but you just talk about it as if you do. See, and that's something. We are adding a segment to the show. Yeah. Which we thought this would be a smart decision. When's that start? When's that segment start? What's the segment? So, you know PTI? How Tony Reale, I believe,

was the mistakes. Stat boy. Stat boy. Of the day, anything got run, boom. We're going to have a corrections officer that's going to come in at the end of the second hour. Fact checker? He's going to get corrections from the show, yeah. So things we might have got wrong.

Who's that going to be? Bruce. And it is going to be contentious every single day. And he's going to a corrections facility and FaceTiming in. From the corrections office Of the corrections facility He's the corrections officer And it is going to be contentious I believe Because there's going to be a lot of things that he's going to say

Opinion based And we're going to have to go We don't need that corrections officer When does that start When we go to ESPN Because there's going to be a lot of things This is something we have to take into account There's going to be a lot of things that are going to be... This is something we've got to take into account.

There's going to be a lot of... Like we say somewhere through... Like, for instance, yesterday I said Jason Tatum is 6'9", 250 pounds. It's like there's going to be people very passionate like, 2-0-9! No, he's not! 2-0-9! Like, they're going to be very mad at me. Yeah.

So it's like somebody weighs in at 240 pounds or something like that. Somebody throws for 240 yards and we go, he threw for fucking 250. Yeah.

Ran for another 45 when he actually ran for 35. It's like, there's gonna be people that are very pissed off about that if we don't do the same

type of thing for their players person. Yeah. So like, that's when a corrections officer can come in and kind of get us in line and it will always be us killing the messenger as opposed to the people that were like upset about 10 yards yes right or five yards being off so exactly so corrections

officer bruce is going to take it on shins a lot is what we're what we're thinking what about things like so today i kept saying the name of movie i was wrong i've. I've been told I was wrong. It was The Lamb Before Time? No, it was Rescuers Down the Road. Ah, sure. Rescuers Down the Road. So, boom. Will that be part of the corrections facility? What's that? That I was wrong on a movie. I believe. I believe that would certainly be. Oh, that's gonna be

a long segment if we start getting into everything. Fuck, it is. They're gonna have everything I say on there, bro. Probably, yeah. That'd be good, though. That'd be good, though, because then we'll be able to get ahead of the Saints people all just kind of... Yeah, you can answer it before it even... Like a USA Today article came out about you being wrong about the Saints.

We can get ahead of that. You know what I mean? Chop that down and sneeze. I guess. USA Today article about who being wrong. Yeah, I think it was associated with USA Today. We don't really know what the USA Today is anymore and what is a blogger that potentially works for the USA Today article about who being... Yeah, I think it was associated with USA Today. We don't really know what the USA Today is anymore and what is a blogger that potentially works for the USA Today

who's also elsewhere, or who wrote a blog for some company and then it became a USA Today article. And is that just a blog or is that an actual article? And what is the USA Today? So that is a whole description of it. But certainly usatoday.com slash something. Right.

I think article about Pac-Man being completely wrong about the defense for the Saints. It was awesome. It was one of his first times on the show. I loved it. It's going to happen. Thanks for the pub. Tell him thanks for the pub. Great.

And information. We learned a lot. Exactly. Yeah. Hey, secondary down there in New Orleans. Not that bad. That whole defense actually. Top ten in everything. Oh, you're standing by it, it huh you corrections officer came through in the form of usa today one more phone call here on the 500 phone line there's gonna be a lot of that

though yeah yeah so the corrections officer is gonna hey good luck out there bruce hope you got body armor underneath that thing yeah i'm a'm a little worried about that. Disney did ask for this particular role. So technically Bruce is a Disney mole. Yeah, exactly. This was not our idea. Is he going to dress as a cop? This was not our idea 100%. No, absolutely not.

This was not our thought of something that we could add to the program. Directly from Mickey Mouse. Directly to my ear, to Connor's brain over to Connor and then Connor said we need like a stat boy or something so that's how Mickey Mouse to me to Connor to the air

to Bruce so he is technically Disney made this segment and is hiring Bruce so remember that whenever Bruce is talking it's fucking Mickey Mouse. Sharpen that baton, Bruce. Good luck, Bruce. Yeah.

Cheering for you, Bruce, buddy. Any from today? Did you do any research on today? The one that I did find is that, you know, celebrating the Vikings paying back that tax, or the interest, but it was actually the taxpayers who paid it back by purchasing and losing pull tabs at the Vikings game. So it's from the Vikings, Bruce.

Do you know if it was just Minnesotans that were buying the pull tabs? Visiting teams, I'm sure, as well. Electronic pull tabs. Humans created the money that Minnesota uses business. Bruce, you need to sharpen your badge. Tough start, Bruce.

Polish it up a little bit. Maybe get off the elephant or the donkey. I can't remember which one it is. Yeah. Nice. Try to get better if that's more. One was me. Beckham's son is actually on loan to Brentford, so he's not on internet.

Corrected yourself. I like that accountability. Yeah. Probably going to be a lot of that. I might say the most wrong stuff. No, no, no. Don't worry, Bruce. Get out of that.

I just only speak when I'm wrong. No, no, Bruce. You're the corrections officer. You're always right. Actually, not a bad bit. Having the corrections officer be more wrong than everybody. Yeah.

Kind of puts us as babyface. We look smarter. Mm-hmm. But the whole, the Minnesotans paid back the money through the business of the Minnesota Vikings. Like, the Minnesota Vikings are supposed to make money to pay back that loan, not from people. Yeah, where do they get it? Well, it's just like a lottery. Like a lottery.

It's like, oh, we can give you a tax break because you guys lost so much on the lottery. Oh, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. They didn't add a tax. Oh, they didn't add an extra tax to all the taxpayers that don't care about the money. They offered a sweet service. Yeah, the Green Bay Packers fans, too, they're known to buy all those pool tabs. That's right. And the Colts fans, right?

They're out there? Yeah, they were. Have you ever been to a Colts bar that has pull tabs? They are littered across everywhere. Are those scratch-offs? What do you call pull tabs? No, pull tabs are different than scratch-offs. I just learned that pull tabs are out here in Indianapolis.

They fucking love them out here. They're awesome. They make so much money off these things. You're literally just pulling tabs. At the gas station, though, same spot you get scratch-offs? No. Gas station or what? Restaurants, bars.

Yeah, bars. What are the tabs, though? same spot you get scratched off? No. Gas station or what? Restaurants, bars. Yeah, bars. What are the tabs, though? What you winning? Anything from $500 to $500. They're like this big, and you pull them. How much are they? Pens. $10, $15, $1. Throw in $20, get $20. I can see how those are fun. And then it has a dollar amount on them if you win. People are stacking them like

crab legs, and all you can eat crab like thing. You get a bucket a buck to cash them in, though. You get a buck to cash them or they lose them. Yeah, but I mean, I've seen people walk out like real winners. Oh, yeah. And they're the worst, you know, because the next time they're chasing a dragon. Exactly. And it's like, I don't know if you're going to hit it two times in a row. Yeah, I know.

But maybe next time. Then next time, guess what we're doing? We're chasing that dragon again. There it is. And they'll get you. They don't have a $2 one, though. Pull-tab bars are very, I think, very prolific business. Yeah. So the Minnesota Vikings doing that to earn that money back quickly should be something that all these stadiums think about doing.

You would think. 100%. It's kind of fun, too, to – Yeah, it's great. Yeah, you can burn through them because you can rip off – Do they have 50-50, too? Probably, right? Definitely.

I love 50-50. Yeah, I know. I'm sure they pay probably some of that money. You ever win one? A 50-50?? Probably, right? Definitely. I love 50-50. Yeah, I know. I'm sure they pay probably some of that money. You ever win one? A 50-50? Yeah. No. You got to give it back if you win it.

No, you don't. Says who? No, you do not. I've never won. Have you ever won one? I've never won one. Nope. I've always bought one.

But I've always been like, well, if I win, I got to take it all. Yeah, as they're announcing the winning number, there's almost a little anxiety. So best case scenario here, I win. Then everybody sees that I win. Oh, I'm an asshole if I don't. I got to donate this. If you're at a charity golf tournament, sure, you give half back or whatever. But if you're at an NFL football game, nobody has a fucking clue that you won.

I buy a sleeve. I buy an arm length every time. Every time. Every time. I'm never going to win it. No, I kind of realized that one of the last home games we went to. I was like, you know what? I'm just getting slickered right here.

What the hell am I doing? A lot of people in there. We need to just do one of them. Yeah. For the entire, you know what I mean? Yep. Or you buy five and then you wait 10 minutes. You go find the lady or the guy who's selling them.

And by that time, they've sold a bunch. Now you're at a different section of the lottery or the raffle, if you will. This is like the birds thing and the flat earth thing. They eat runners everywhere. What we're saying is this is a fugaz. You're not going to win. They pull a number that nobody has. No, somebody's winning.

But, I mean, you're winning, what, 70,000 at least? Oh, yeah. And the person who's spending $1 bucks or a hundred bucks, 500 bucks, they're never winning. It's the person who's spending five bucks and just getting one of them and it's just their lucky day. I'll say this.

We win the one, we're giving away all of it. Okay. And we're going to win this. So we, all of us? Yep, you're giving away your part. Okay. Did you hear him?

He said he's got runners to go meet up with these fucking people. These people in different sections. So he gets a ticket from the suite section. He gets a ticket from 105. He gets a ticket from 207. 315 on the other side. Exactly. He's got every single gas station covered in this Mega Millions operations.

Yep. Smart. Smart. You're going to win. At the time of the clock. Hey, if you win, you don't have to give away because you put Millions operation. Smart. Smart. Put everyone at the time of the clock. Hey, if you win, you don't have to give away because you put in real effort. You earned it. Exactly. I beat the game. Hell yeah. Sorry. Don't blame me. What happens when you lose 10 straight games here? 11 is going to be a winner.

Nice. Good attitude. You think like that. And now Jim Irsay is now the owner of the Luke's World Stadium. And that's him. And thank you to Connor. No problem. Indianapolis citizen. Still paying taxes on that stadium. And now Jim Irsay is now the owner of the Luke Soil Stadium. And that's him, and thank you to Connor. No problem. Indianapolis citizen.

Still paying taxes on that stadium. Fucking Bruce. Actually, the... So it's basically like if you... So they paid it off, just a correction, but it wasn't like their money. They got it. It wasn't at one point, I guess. But before that, it was somebody else's money.

And then they did business. Is there a difference if they use money from people buying hoodies, like Viking hoodies? That is real, though. That's a good question. I think that would be fungible there. That would be a fungible asset that they paid for. Some of those pool tab people walked out of there losers.

A lot of losers in the pool tabs. Gotta build the allure. Let's get the fuck out of here. Big thanks to Alex Rodriguez and Joseph Newgarden. I didn't like how that went with Robert there. Tony Miola. Tony Miola was awesome. How about...

Robert? Bob from Florida. Oh, the caller. My bad. Gotcha. Yeah, just like, hey, sorry you're not going to be able to talk about it. How? How are we not going to talk about it? Says who? Oh, Ayahuasca. That's what we got to do.

Okay. Let's to do. Okay. Let's do it. Okay. A reset. Okay. So we're all doing ayahuasca. This would be sweet. We should actually do this.

Getting a full mental reset. Yes. So we can just blank canvas this thing. Like Tony Miolla said, the U.S. men's national team is whenever we're going on ESPN. I'm down. That's 100% why they would pay us for our show. Yep. Yeah. Strip it down to nothing.S. Men's National Team is whenever we're going on ESPN. I'm down. That's 100% why they would pay us for our show. Yep. Yeah.

Strip it down to nothing. Yeah. Change the mantle. Open it up completely to what we can make it, and then boom, you're off and running. Let us mold you like clay. Let's go. Sweet.

We just got to go to the jungle, right? You know. Where are we going? Somewhere. We're going to do this for the first episode on ESPN. When it goes over there, we're going to be on Alaska. We're going to be properly emptied before we get onto the air. And then whatever comes up on the ticker, we read.

First day, we're clones. Bingo. Bang. I believe we can go to Puerto Rico as well. They're doing that? There's a lot of places. I thought it was Padu. In L.A. You can go anywhere now. There's a lot of places. I thought it was a garage in L.A.

You can go anywhere now. What's that? Go to a garage in L.A. and have some dude with a ponytail give it to you. That happens. They have doctor's offices we learned about. Ayahuasca? Oh, you want to trust those? Is this just DMT or Ayahuasca? Ketamine. Ketamine doctor's office do that. Controlled ceremony.

I've seen this ketamine thing pop up in my in some of my scrolls. What is it? What is ketamine? What is this? It's like ketamine I forget what it is. It's like a horse not a tranquilizer. Whatever it is. People do it to get over like depression and different things. Really? Holy shit. I looked into. I certainly

looked into what Chuck was talking about. Yeah. Certainly. Let's have a great fall. Yeah. You should look into what Jeremy Piven was. If it works the way Chuck says it works like yeah it just works. Certainly. Manjabo? Let's have a great fall. You should look into what Jeremy Piven was doing. If it works the way Chuck says it works, like, yeah, it just works. Manjaro. Hell, yeah. Why not?

I'm down. Once a week. What's it doing? He starts laughing in the face of us. No idea. I have no clue. I'm just losing it. They're telling me to just do this.

I'm going to get down 270. I'm going to stop doing it. And then I'll just bounce it out. Yeah. Start gaining again. Guess what I'm doing? Shot right back in. Every human's going to get down 270. I'm going to stop doing it. And then I'll just balance it out. Start gaining again. Guess what I'm doing? Shot right back in. Because don't we have an obesity issue? Are you talking about your corgi?

Is this your corgi, Chuck? All right. Charles Barkley, you fucking asshole. You don't always got to fuck me. He said 270. I thought 270 was too heavy for him. I didn't think he was that heavy. Okay.

AJ. You son of a bitch. I am so disgusted. There will be none of that on ESPN. No way. I'm getting it out now. Body Shaman Chuck is not going to fly on ESPN. Barkley or the dog.
