Hello, beautiful people. Welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdome. On this beautiful Overreaction Monday, June 12th, 2023, this sports program starts right now. Sports are happening, but this is the final finals week, so let's go ahead and drink it down, soak it in, and let's enjoy tonight as we might see a team win the Larry O'Brien Trophy for the first time in its existence. The Denver Nuggets, who are up 3-1 in a best-of-seven series, are playing at home tonight. And they're favored by 8.5 against this Miami Heat team who has been underdogs throughout the entire postseason. Will they be able to muster up a win in mile high? Or will we see Joker holding that son of a bitch not only

with his feet at 5 280 feet above sea level up there in denver but his head at six foot eleven his arms at another three feet above that that larry o'brien trophy might be 5 289 feet above sea level tonight as Joker hoists that thing to go alongside of his couple MVPs in the most decorated history a Serbian basketball player has ever had in the NBA. Speaking of Serbian,

Joker's back. He won. There was a golf tournament that had a Canadian win for Canada in the Canadian Open. And then there was a spear immediately afterwards of the Canadian's best friend, who's actually a part of his last

retweet on Twitter from like years ago. Best friends for a long time. Let's go ahead and spear that guy. And then tomorrow, hockey. With a 3-1 series happening, the Las Vegas Golden Knights might have Lordo in their presence for the first time as a team

that has been around for six years. They take a 3-1 lead down in Florida. Kachuk, who's a dog for the Florida Panthers, was literally just hitting people with his stick after the game ended last week. Saturday night. Bit of a scrum. Bit of a scrum. Just hitting people with his stick. The ref was like, stop.

And he's like reaching around the ref. I think there's going to be a little something tonight. Feels like there might be a little bit of carryover from the last games, you know, hangover antics. Excited to see how that game starts tomorrow. But this is the finals week. Damn it.

So let's enjoy it all. The Talks at the Tables here at Boston, Connor and Ty Schmidt. Connor, your teams are nowhere near the finals. Neither are yours, Pat. Well, one half of the Hammer died. Cowboys, Tone Diggs is here. We will be joined by the one half of the Hammer died. Cowboys, Tony Diggs is here. We will be joined

by the other half of the Hammer died. Cowboys at about 2.20 or so Eastern Standard Time. Talk a little soccer. Soccer happened this weekend.

Huge. Got a brand new Champions League champion which is the Manchester City squad. Shout out. Congrats to them. It won't be long though.

Burnley's about to run their asses right through that entire thing. That's right. Enjoy it now. Gray-Listion. Holland or whatever the fuck. It's a really cool-looking name. And Pep, who is too scared to become the coach of the United States of America.

Pep has all these incredible accomplishments around the soccer world. Three-time Champions League winner. Obviously, first time with Man City there. Five-time Premier League winner. Three-time Bundesliga Guten Tag, he said. La Liga, UEFA, BFBA Cup, Copa del Rey, English League Cup, Spanish Super, Copa, whatever the fuck it is. Whatever, yep.

I don't see a single World Cup, pal. No. Okay? If you were to win with the United States, you'd be here with the greatest coach of all time. Forever. They got that little goat shadow walking next to you. I don't know how that's true,

because the only way you can earn those horns and that little body is if you win a World Cup with United States of this year America. That's right. Go get it, Pep. Congrats on the win, obviously. Come on over, Pep. But sports are happening tonight. We potentially watch Joker hoist that thing.

I'm excited for it, but obviously, anytime you get to a point like this, it's like on the horizon we don't have a lot yes and it's coming quick yeah it's coming real quick blue chew can't help this no you know what i mean it's everywhere though those ads are everywhere on the internet right now yes congrats to them having a resurgence or another round of investment whatever happened for them to get back into the game it feels like we're listening to podcasts from like four years ago with how much blue chew is kind of popping up everywhere. But there ain't no blue chew for this.

No. It's 3-1. About to be without it, Connor. Yeah, it's a nightmare. It's kind of like how you feel when the Super Bowl is coming up. It's like, okay, this is going to be a great game. Can't wait to see, you know, the end of the season. And then after the game, yeah, it is absolute

devastation because there isn't anything. And granted, there are other sports going on, I guess, is what people are saying. Baseball! Baseball! Golf! Tennis! Golf! Tennis! And the U.S. Open being this upcoming weekend is huge because if we didn't have that after possibly the

finals end tonight and the Stanley Cup end tomorrow and then we just really were staring down what July is for the last half of this month. It would be an absolute nightmare, but seeing Joker win it would be sweet too. Yeah, let's enjoy this. Being a little bit too negative, obviously

the Vegas Golden Knights have taken a 3-1 lead and we'd be pumped for Stoner and the boys. I think we have a big donation coming if they do win. If I do recall, because this mouth right here just started popping off to Stoner. Oh, you're a hat trick to $100,000. Sure. You guys win the Stanley Cup for $250,000 donation. No big deal.

And Stoner's like, oh, really, for the boys? That's it. Okay. 3-1 right now. It's close. Feeling pretty good. Feeling pretty confident. But it is.

I mean, now we talk about it. Hey, if they win tomorrow night, season's over. And, like, I mean. Yeah, but you get to hoist Lorto all around town. Remember, like Ovechkin. Yeah, for sure. For sure. Which will be sweet.

It will be. Are you just going to carry baby Lorto around with you? I'll probably have to. I probably won't have a choice. Drink your whiskey. What? Your beers. What?

Whatever other concoction you come up with. What? Yeah, I mean, that's a great idea, you know, because it is going to be the first, potentially the first Stanley Cup in the franchise's history, and I have been there since the birth of the franchise. Day zero. Day zero.

I'm a day zero fan, so I'm really looking forward to it. But luckily with golf, golf's kind of coming in now. I mean, we've had back-to-back weekends now with the playoff. And drama. Exactly. Drama was awesome. We really don't know what's going to happen with all that stuff still, but now is kind of the time where you can. It's like, hey, we don't have any of

these team sports left, but it is a perfect time to kind of invest a little bit more in golf as the weather's getting nicer. Makes you want to play golf a little bit more. We got to play. We did get to play on Sunday. It was a great round. Great round. Torrential downpour. Oh, yeah. Thought we were going to miss it. Thought we were going to miss it. Yeah, there was a whole

well, I wasn't there for that conversation. Oh, yeah. I guess there was a worker at the course, Nicky's Country Club, that was very optimistic. Oh, yeah. Hey, I've been looking at the Doppler. You guys should be able to avoid it. What was it? Hole 2? What time did you guys start? Hole 2 avoid it. Oh. What was it? Hole two. Yeah.

What time did you guys start? Hole two. It started coming down. 840. Yeah, 840 tee time. Yeah, I think it was always supposed to come down around nine. Nope. Nope.

I thought it was 10. Yeah, 10 was the time that we saw. So we thought maybe we could sneak in there. You know what I mean? 840. You can at least run seven, eight holes there. Yeah, I agree. If everybody has the same mindset.

And then I think the Doppler was a little bit off, and the optimism from the worker in there was misguided i believe because i was not in there for this conversation but about hole four this guy was getting talked about pretty much every single shot well we kind of went in there like hmm will we won't we kind of played it up a little bit maybe maybe we don't i don't know and i think he was trying to do his best to get us in the right mindset to get out there like you're gonna be okay don't i don't know and i think he was trying to do his best to get us in the right mindset to get out there like you're gonna be okay don't worry it's just rain good people at that course everybody was very nice to us course was nice got to play out in the elements for the first time and it is it's hard not to watch golf and not want to play golf for sure thing about golf

though is it takes so much goddamn time it does but we actually i mean we played nine holes in under an hour and a half like we were moving out there, and the rain probably had a little bit to do with that. Wide open course. Wide open course. And when it's pouring like that, there's really no dilly-dally. There's no grab ass. It's like, hey, you address your shot, you take your shot, and let's go. And I think that actually contributed to playing a little bit better, too.

Yeah, we got off out there. Oh, yeah. Hey, we did some gothing. We did some gothing. Hey, what if we played golf good this year? Yeah, here we go. That would be awesome. You know what I mean? I've been up in the sim, in the lab, yeah. Hey, we did some gothing. We did some gothing. Hey, what if we played goth good this year? Yeah, here we go. That would be awesome. You know what I mean? I've been up in the sim, in the lab, working. Every day. For Tahoe. Hashtag road to

Tahoe is still going. Yeah. We're doing our thing. Shout out to Full Swing. Now, I think I have the simulator figured out as well. You know, it is learning the sim as a whole thing in itself. Right. That's huge, though. It is huge. Yeah, not freezing or anything like that. Yeah, user error, I guess they were saying. And as I've kind of done everything that they've kind of given me a checklist.

Do this, do this, do this. You can do this. Updates and stuff. Yeah, updates and then like resale. Yeah, blow on the game. Yeah, do that whole thing. So we got it all figured out. But I didn't know if it was going to carry to the course.

It did. Very happy to hear that. That's awesome. Very, very happy to hear that. In torrential downpour. So Tahoe is going to be awesome. You prepare for the worst. Boom. So when you're in Tahoe and it's beautiful. Yeah, make practice hard so the game's easy. That's awesome. Very, very happy to hear that. In torrential downpour. So Tahoe is going to be awesome. You prepare for the worst. Boom.

So when you're in Tahoe and it's beautiful. Yeah, make practice hard so the game's easy. That's right. There it is. That's right. So every torrential downpour that comes. Let's get out there. Let's get right to the course.

And the hard parts that you really, I mean, you can kind of do up here, but you can't. Like, your wedges around the green and your putting. Like, I figured. Hey, we were golfing. For sure. For sure. I mean, for your first time out there, I was very impressed, especially, I mean, when like it, it wasn't just sprinkling, like it was fucking pouring and it is hard to like concentrate

and a lot easier. You know, you're thinking about shit. Am I going to let go of the club every single time I hit it? Like you, you were tight around the greens where if you do that, like you will finish much better than you did last year. Which is the only goal here. Need to move up the leaderboard a lot from last year's time. Yep, sure.

Need to do that. But you know the course now, too. Know the course. Understand what's coming. I'm going to walk. Right. Okay. Sure.

Never thought about walking before. Going to walk. Never played 18 holes. Haven't played 18 holes from start to finish probably since like 2010, maybe 2009. So whenever I get to Tahoe, 18 straight and you're walking all of them? Yeah. That was quite a culture shock. On Thursday, too.

I mean, you don't have to walk on Thursday. See what I'm going to. Just to prepare yourself? Yeah, yeah. I'm going to get prepared beforehand. Yeah, smart. So going in, I'm walking on Thursday. I'm going to be one with that course on that Thursday.

Comfortable golf shoes this time around. Different shoes. Got two of them. Got them breaking in. Yep, exactly. See, I feel like I've learned something. You know they say your biggest jump is from year one to year two. That's exactly right. It feels like right now is kind of my biggest jump, but the reason is because A.J. Hawk is sandbagging. We know that.

Last year, he led me right into the fucking abyss. Ridiculous. You know what I mean? Yeah, walk on Thursday. Nobody's good. Don't worry about it. Then he is a professional fucking golfer. Right. In all facets of the game.

Every single one of them. It wasn't just because we talk about him hitting the ball far, and he does, but he's got soft hands too. Because around the green, he's putting the ball, you know, within 10 feet of the pitch. Yeah, and for the good of the program, you know, I've been saying this about some things. Like the way Foxy looked on that trampoline yesterday in his Instagram story.

Yeah. Not good for the program. I agree. I agree. saying this about some things. Like the way Foxy looked on that trampoline yesterday in his Instagram story. Yeah. Not good for the program. I agree. I agree. Embarrassing the show. Jumping on a trampoline. Embarrassing the show. Yeah, we've had an answer for this on the internet.

Having fun, enjoying my night, enjoying my weekend. Yeah, embarrassing the program. This is a big thing behind off-camera. Like, don't embarrass the program. Yeah. Can't have it. Last year, I embarrassed the program at that Tahoe thing. Strictly because how good AJ was. I didn't know

he was... I thought we were going to be the same. AJ was full of shit though. Bingo. He's fully sandbagged to be going in there. So this year, not going to happen. Can't be getting bamboozled by this man. While I got blisters all over, I'm in pain and I'm getting bamboozled.

Can't happen again. So this year I'm working a little bit harder. Don't want to embarrass the program. That is a ruleozled. Can't happen again. So this year I'm working a little bit harder. Don't want to embarrass the program. That is a rule around here. Don't embarrass the program. Take note, Foxy. Foxy needs you. You're going to be jumping on a trampoline in boots,

which is what you were doing. Okay, well, I had my shoes on, and also that trampoline had a bunch of black stuff on it, so I couldn't do any cool tricks because I'd get the black stuff all over my nice shirt. That is what a trampoline's color is. That's not how old I am. I was literally dirt on it because that was an old school trampoline. Would you not respect the trampoline?

Thought all your bones were going to break every time you jumped on it. It was an embarrassment to the program. No, it wasn't. As you posted it, I'm watching it. I'm like, okay, I'm going through the whole story. Foxy looks super handsome. He's at a wedding. Okay.

Love Foxy. Foxy used to work. He's at a wedding. Okay. Love Foxy. That's cool. Foxy used to work these things. Now he's enjoying them. Foxy's come up. That's how I got here. Him and his lady having a good time. Here we go.

I love it. And I see him jump on a trampoline. I'm like, we can't be doing that. What the hell? I was just jumping on a trampoline. It wasn't passing. The way you were doing it. The way it was.

Just enjoying myself. You weren't even, you didn't even, old buddy, what's his name? Star. Star literally took the armrest, too. He was in the middle of the trampoline. Yeah. You got outfitted, or baited, I guess, out to the side of the trampoline, first of all. Star's a big dude.

I got to give him some space. See, that's what I'm saying. And I'm an athlete, so I can go anywhere on that trampoline. I can move and I can groove. You didn't look like it. Yeah, that's what I do. You set yourself up for failure. I'm a great trampoline jumper.

You went to the side of that trampoline. It's like, oh, you're bouncing one leg. Yeah, exactly. You know what I think? You got no shot. You guys haven't jumped on a trampoline in years. That's what I think. I got one in my house.

When's the last time you were on it? Yesterday. Years. I'm having a good Saturday night. I'm having a good time. I get on that thing that you were on there. We're going three wide on that. Well, you don't count.

I'm going back flips over star on that. You don't count. You do that off the top rope at WWE. Yes, maybe an embarrassment to you, but not to the rest of these guys. To the program. To the program. Was he holding his nose while he was jumping? No!

Tony, your bones would break on a trampoline right now. That was milk I drank. I drank more milk than you. No. Tony, your bones would break on a trampoline right now. Okay? You know which milk I drink? Yeah. I drink more milk than you. And I climb more hills than you. Both ways.

Only whole milk, and I only walk here up and down every hill. Yeah. I don't go down, Tony. I only go uphill, okay? That's my point. Okay, so you need downhill for jumping. Well, it looked like you were jumping on the trampoline uphill. Yeah.

Okay, so let's. I'm a good jumper. All right. That's what we all thought. Yeah, you have a good jumper. Graham, I'm a good jumper. Yeah, I am. I can dunk.

He can dunk. He's your jumper. Yeah. That's why whenever I'm looking at you on his trampoline, I'm like, is this the same guy? I don't know. What happened? I'm glad you're saying this. Because I thought the same thing.

I was like, I know Foxy is athletic. This makes no sense the way he's jumping on the trampoline. So here's the deal, Foxy. Yeah. Okay. All right. I think we all grew up in a, there's one kid that has the trampoline neighborhood.

Bing sometimes has a basketball hoop next to him. Okay. We had that. Yep. I was on trampoline a lot down the street, Donner. Right. Pretty solid on trampoline. Feel good on trampoline. Has, I didn't know then. Pretty solid on trampoline. Feel good on trampoline.

I didn't know then I was preparing for my WWE run on that trampoline, but I enjoyed it. I assumed Nick was in a trampoline wrestling promotion on the other side of town. I had a trampoline myself. Boom, he was the trampoline backyard. You think Frank Morales laying cement and concrete all around Pittsburgh so that he can have a kid that has a trampoline who has a friend that jumps on a trampoline like you?

I don't think so. Apologize to Frank. I'm not apologizing. Frank wouldn't say it was embarrassing. Frank would say, you know what, Foxy? I'm glad you're out there having a good time. Get that kid the hell off my trampoline. I don't know.

Yeah, he would. I don't know. Anyways, he would. I don't know. Anyways, happy you had fun this weekend, Foxy. Thank you. Guy had time for a car club and a fucking trampoline wrestling league? Yeah, it's insane what Nick was able to accomplish. Packed schedules. He's also a world hockey deck hockey player.

World champion. Gold medal. It's unbelievable. I assume you saw the tweets that I saw about Foxy as well. What? A lot of, oh, so this is what an ESPN show looks like while you're jumping on a trampoline? Oh, they said that's how bad we got it. Oh, okay, now it makes sense

because ESPN probably jumps on trampolines just like that too, Foxy. It was very cautious. It was like a very scared to death to be on the trampoline. Duck-footed. See, I didn't even view it that way. I'm glad you guys broke it all down.

I was just having a good time. That's all it was. Listen, you got to remember what my life is right now, Foxy. I know, I'm glad you guys broke it all down. I was just having a good time. That's all it was. Listen, you got to remember what my life is right now, Foxy. I know. Got a lot of time to rewatch stories. That baby falls asleep. We got about 20, 30 minutes probably without sound. Let's go ahead and just be quiet.

Let's live in the moment. What's everybody up to? I'm going to go live vicariously through some people. Okay. Connor's playing video games. Okay. Shout out, Zelda. Shout out.

Tony's dad is in fucking Italy. Living. Coach Diggs. Coach Diggs is in Italy right now. Italy knows how to do it. He got a draft beer. Oh, my God. It's a bucket of ice.

Brilliant. With Lake Como, I believe, in the back there. Coach Diggs gets it. Oh, my God. Living. What a life he's having. Okay, I'm having a good time. Oh, Foxy's at a wedding.

Here we go. This is cool. Boom. Boom. Oh, my God. Why is he jumping like that? Rewatch. Let me hit the left side of the screen here.

See, I rode the ATVs before that. That was on the storyboard. So sweet. So that's why I was thinking. I'm like, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. And then trampoline was a good way to close it off. Yeah. Those Instagram stories are a good time.

Yeah. I've really started to enjoy those. To your point, though, I did feel bad that you guys had to golf in the rain because it's been sunny for a straight month. I'm like, Pat finally has time to play. Well, that's because of the AQI. That's right. We needed it, though.

Yeah, we did. Grass needed it. Huge for the grass. It didn't ruin our game much, to be honest. I would take that every single time if I knew the course was going to be wide open. Agreed. A little drizzle. Lightning wasn't going to come.

I would have dressed a little differently. For sure. I would have wore a little bit warmer. Got real chilly. It did. Just that wind. I know. We were soaked by the end of the second hole.

All the way through. And then that wind comes I know. We were soaked by the end of the second hole. All the way through. And then that wind comes. I'm surprised you guys didn't just go to the clubhouse and buy some rain jackets. Well, see, that would have been a smart decision. But then we go in there longer. That's a hole. You just got to go and finish at that point. We could have got jackets.

Good call, Tone. We thought it was going to miss us, maybe. If you go in there to get rain jackets, you know this guy is saying something to that fucking worker. Hey, how's it go up for you? All right. All right. Anyways, golf though. Yeah.

That's what we were talking about. US Open this weekend. Right. US Open is tough. This is one that kills the players. Oh, yeah. This is when the players look like us, coughing in the middle of it. They did this.

They had this tweet earlier from the US Open account where they dropped the ball into the rough or whatever, and they're like, here we go, fans or whatever. Ball's gone. See you later. If you're golfing in real life and hit a ball and it does what it did in that rough, you're never finding it.

You're dropping, taking a stroke, and moving on. Probably duffing that stroke as well in the rough that you're in. The ball disappears. So this is a big, like, hey, we need to keep our eyes out for where everybody's golf ball is going. And then you'll see some shots out of the rough that are horrendous. We're going to see some really good golfers look like shit. That's kind of the story of the U.S. Open every single year.

Yeah, and me. Bam. Gone. Houdini. Criss Angel. Ball is gone. You're walking right past that. You're driving your golf cart right past that. You're walking right past that. You're driving your golf cart right past that. You're looking for that ball.

If you have time and respect golf as much as some purists do, you're looking for that ball for 40 fucking minutes. You're never finding it. Ever. That thing's gone. Not only is that the rough, the greens allegedly are literally the top of this table. The U.S. Open is like the toughest one if you win it, right?

Yes, it is. And that's why Oakmont's on the list, our hometown course, one of the toughest in the nation, in the world. Yeah, so they used to have one that we could go to right next to it. Oakmont East. Oakmont East, there it is. And that one was also a good time, mostly because 18th Fairway was like this long decline downhills

boy the amount of people that broke into that golf course to ride garbage bags cardboard boxes tubes lunch trays anything during the winter down there so i always held that in a special place in my heart and then boom tear it down make oakmont even bigger. Oakmont East is gone. Fuck the kids. Snow ride. That closed up. But for some reason, when I was looking, I said, oh, okay, where's the US Open at this year? Oh, it's in LA.

Well, that course isn't going to be hard enough. I don't know why that immediately went to my brain that LA isn't going to have a hard course. Maybe because LA's soft. Yeah. Boom. Is LA soft? I don't know. I've been watching some videos in LA.

Really? There's some real shit going on in LA. Like what? Well, I guess's some real shit going on in LA. Like what? Well, I guess the same shit's going on everywhere. But they are just walking into stores, taking stuff, and see you later. Oh, you mean they're not allowed to call cops? You talking about Lululemon? Oh, yeah.

That was a weird thing to kind of project publicly. Yeah, well, everybody know we still feel as if we're getting robbed. We shouldn't tell anybody about anything. Shouldn't say anything. Should not call the cops. Nope. Should actually assist in the process and let them out of there. Grab a couple extra shirts, throw them on top.

Yeah, if that's going to be your policy, okay. I'm sure you learned in some school that that's the right play. Maybe you don't get your employees in shit because if they stand up for the company and they end up dying or something, there's a real show. Don't know if that's like the... It might be the company policy. I don't know if that should be the public knowledge of the policy. Feels like it's a bird call.

This weekend got a whole mess of clothes for free. You did? Yeah, like Tim Robinson in the wiener car. I already did this. That's not me. What an episode. Allegedly, with the way it was being talked about in my timeline, I did this. That's not me. What an episode. Did you look? Allegedly, with the way it was being talked about in my timeline,

and I didn't watch any of this shit. In my timeline, though, it's like no mask needed, nothing. It's absurd. Just go for it. I walked in and said, hey, you guys care if I take this stuff for free? And they said, yeah, we can't do anything about it. And I just walked in. That's wild.

In public, I assume they'll change it. But I think that's happening. I think people are getting followed, too, from airports. So allegedly, people get tracked from airports. Somebody's house got robbed five times, worth a lot of money. Like, $30 million house getting robbed five times and shit taken off.

I think LA still got a fastball if it needs it. Wasn't it the boxer? He was in jail. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but I think Drake's house. Yeah, a bunch of people, like celebrity houses in LA.

I got an alert this weekend on my iPad that an AirTag was following me around. I don't own any AirTags, so I'm going to have to fucking figure that out. Was that the one that was on your shirt earlier when you walked in here? Oh, yeah. It was a little sticker.

Yeah, what's an AirTag? What is that? So like Apple has these things that you like put on your keys or something. Like tile and it's like yeah like a tile and it's like hey where are my fucking keys at but apparently people are using them and like put them in other people's cars and then they follow them wherever it goes and then they rob them that's happening that is next level damn it gotta scan the whole car now every time you get in it if you have an apple device it tells you it says It says, like, hey, an AirTag that's, like, not yours has been around you.

So someone was tracking you? Maybe. Tony made it, bud. Wow, Tony. They aren't tracking nobodies. Uh-uh. Tony made it. He got from jumping on a trampoline like an athlete to getting tracked around.

Joining us now, a man who is one of the faces of the golf coverage on ESPN. Obviously, he was live at the Masters, has been live at the Masters and covers the PGA he's also the host of a podcast called Maddie and the Caddy Caddy of Golf is obviously we're speaking of one of the hosts of the Emmy award-winning SportsCenter ladies and gentlemen Matt Barry how you doing man got any air tags I just got I just had my first AirTag experience over the weekend. My wife bought me one. We were in Costa Rica. Oh, congrats. And it was in the backpack, and I distanced myself from it,

and it set off an alert on my phone that my backpack is no longer connected to my person, and I thought someone stole it, and I lost it. Full panic. This AirTag stuff, I mean, it's intense. Hey, it's a gift and a curse. It sounds like there's some real highs. You know what I mean? You lose your keys, you find them.

Holy hell. Right away. That is awesome. We never found those before. Exactly. Now we're there. Lowe's are like, is somebody tracking me? Did I just get wrong?

Right. Did I ruin my entire life? Whoa. I don't think I'm going to play the game. Sounds like technology is doing too much. No thanks. Sounds like technology is too much. How was Costa Rica? Never been heard. It's awesome.

Oh, I was living in La Pura Vida for a few days. Got some white water rafting, zip lining. I was just an extreme sports badass for seven. Did you love zip lining? Were you like, did you love the zip lining part? Hated it. In fact, I didn't even, my wife did it. My wife did it. And I like chickened out on the zip lining.

I don't like unbalanced heights, man. Like I don't like that there's a cable and a hinge between me and the jungle. Yeah. I don't need it. They got that thing though. Basically it's like you remember when the wild and wonderful walendas oh yeah did the niagara falls thing exactly but they were attached to the thing and they're like this guy could die it's like nuts he's just

dangling above niagara falls that sounds like a nightmare to you as well i assume if you're dangling above the jungle that's probably not the funnest thing yeah i'm not i'm not a will end it like i oh man all right respect i appreciate that uh we let's talk about what happened over there at the royal bank of canada's uh canadian open okay incredible tourney yeah another another incredible weekend of rory mcelroy being at the top and then not being able to win it now he seemingly has a lot of different things on his plate at all times uh in the golf world let alone the pressure of being great and then the potential you know 500 million dollar stabbed in the back but still being cool with it and sacrificial lamb talk happening about him which respect all that stuff but the Sunday seems to be an issue a little bit for rory right now but that isn't the story at all the story becomes not only fleetwood bearing a putt to extend overtime but like this canadian dude who was in 127th place or something like that at one

point during the tournament wins it on a 72 and a half foot putt and all of canada goes but what a weekend for golf matt what were What were your thoughts? Big takeaway. And how do you think it kind of projects golf into the U.S. Open here? I think golf needed that after what happened this week with Liv and the PGA Tour and all the money and everybody screaming at each other. I don't think they needed Rory McIlroy necessarily to win because we know he's a world-class player and he's going to get his tournaments. But what they needed was another example of how great the sport is. And I've said this numerous times about golf. It is the only sport on the planet, find me another one, where every single week the underdog has a chance to become a household name within a matter of four

days. And that was Nick Taylor this weekend. I mean, who really knew who this guy was? People who cover the sport knew him, knew of him. But all you see now on social media is the putt. You see Hadwin getting taken out by security guards. Bro, hey, did you see that angle? He dips around. He has a little dip in there. Then he comes around.

And then the form is fucking. Was that guy in a CFL? Look at this. Look at his dip, man. Look at this. He sees him. Eyes on him. Fuck this guy.

Around. He even jumps a little bit to help to assist the tackle drill that happens every single warm-up. And then obviously everybody's like, ah, the guy's like his best friend. I mean, I should have given you a heads up, I guess, but you should have known too. They're all in that thing. But you're right. Golf is everywhere as opposed to what it was everywhere

like four days ago is what you're... That's it. I mean, first of all, not even the officials want to call it targeting on that. They screw up everything. That's a great tackle. Brilliant. So good.

Two, Taylor, he's a household name now. And no other sport can you find a dude that's living in the hundred something anonymity of the sport, makes the pot in the playoff, now heads out to LA Country Club, which by the way, you won an LA soap opera. I was at the Masters PGA Championship this year.

We had had a year to kind of get used to Live vs. PGA Tour. This is the first major championship since this collective merger. It is going to be, you can only, LA is dreaming of this scenario, and it's absolutely perfect. I don't know which one it is, because I don't know the way the lay of the land is over there.

Senate? Congress? Are those the same? House? Who's all? Somebody's potentially going to stop this PGA Live merger made it into my timeline. Somebody in Congress, are those the same? House, who's all? Somebody's potentially going to stop this PGA Live merger made into my timeline. Somebody in Washington, D.C. who seems to have some sort of governing power, allegedly looking into this for an antitrust situation. I mean, who knows how any of those rules are made? So if this merger takes place, I guess could potentially be reliant upon a decision by people in DC. That's always something that happens.

They make decisions over there. I think, I don't know the world well enough, but they seem to get things done and accomplished. But if this live in PGA thing does end up happening, which we all assume it's good. Do we know anything about it yet? Do we have any idea what this means?

No. Okay, good. Here's what we know. idea what this means? No. Here's what we know. We know that in some way, shape, or form, Liv and the PGA Tour are going to coexist, and the DP World Tour are going to coexist in one golf governing body. What that means for Liv, no one knows. What that means for the players on Liv, no one knows. What that means for these guys who turned down hundreds of millions of dollars to stay with the PGA Tour instead of going to live. No one knows.

And I think that's the thing. It's like, well, wait a second. I turned down $200 million to go play and live to be loyal to you. You did this without me knowing. Am I going to be made good? Yeah. How about the

$30 million guy? Like, everybody talks about it. We talked about it. Tiger, $800 million, $750 million, allegedly. Rory, $500 million, allegedly. Zalatoris, like $130 million. Now he's got a back thing going on. Scooty Scheffler, Matsuyama.

Like, we've talked about all those ones. I would assume the guy's a little bit lower in the picture. The Nick Taylor's in them. Some of them had to be offered like $15, $20, $ 20 30 million dollars like that's life-changing money to somebody as well did that take place or do we not know that piece of information well look there's guys that got offers that turned it down at a loyalty to pga tour i'm guessing i don't know this to be certain but a guy like billy horschel was probably looked at by live for a decent sum of money he's mr pga tour he wasn't gonna go but then if i'm the horschel today and i'm like Billy Horschel was probably looked at by Liv for a decent sum of money. He's Mr. PGA Tour.

He wasn't going to go. But then if I'm Horschel today and I'm like, gross, I had $75 million. I had $50 million just sitting there. Now you're making the money? He's a blue-collar guy too, right? He came from humble beginnings. Billy Ho. That's crazy. I mean, it just happens.

Yeah, it's fucking crazy. We're all feeling the same way. And you're right. L.A. being the home of the first big one after this entire thing is perfect. We assume because it's in L.A., the amount of attention it'll get, there'll be enough people that'll ask questions, hopefully, that we'll get answers. I saw that Rory canceled his press. Is that because we were supposed to, Victor Hovland was supposed to come on on Wednesday on our show.

Victor Hovland was supposed to come on on Wednesday on our show. And it was like, you know, we were very excited to kind of build this relationship with the PGA because we fucking watch every single weekend. Now we're getting to talk to people. It's good. It's good. It's good. Haven't been able to make it work as much, but we were pumped that they even offered Victor

Hovland to us and we were able to make it happen. Then boom, the live thing happens and he cancels like immediately. He doesn't cancel. They kind of say, oh, he's not doing media tomorrow it's like that's smart when will they do media do you think like how do any of these players do any media because there's going to be somebody that's going to go out there and say the wrong answer and that's going to become a whole nother thing i don't know how they navigate that part matt i think that's going to be top of the park toughest part because if rory like you heard him save the sacrificial lamb which

he has been, if Rory cancels his media early in the week, you've got to think some other guys are going to follow suit. Because if you're a player trying to contend for the U.S. Open, which is our nation's championship, it's one of the great major championships of all of them, why would you want to sit in front of the assembled media and talk zero about the tournament you're trying to win

and talk everything about this merger?'re trying to win and talk everything about this merger. First of all, most of them are left in the, in clueless about it anyway. So why would you want to go up there and answer questions for the commissioner when the commissioner should be up to answering questions, which he has. But if you're a live, if I'm a live guy, if I'm Kepka, if I'm Phil Mickelson, if I'm one of these Dustin Johnson, I'm at the podium today. And just kind of saying, hey. Yeah, just any questions? Any questions?

Any apologies? Yeah, yeah, well, we just thought, you know, that this would happen. Yeah, everybody kind of knew this would happen. Interesting. It's kind of the way it goes. They have $6,250 billion to invest, you know, whatever they want to do.

That's the money allegedly, Matt? Oh, yeah. Billions. Hundreds of billions. And you know the business, I assume, the world, because of all the people you've met. I mean, you cover the Masters every single year. No, we do. Those people that have all that money, and granted, they're the only ones that have that much money.

But the people that have a lot of money, they just throw it. They dump it into stuff like they're like i will spend 10 billion dollars if over 50 years this makes us 20 billion 30 billion like that is how they actually view it could you imagine having 6 250 billion or whatever just in one pool we're going to be able to do whatever they're going to make golf better right we Well, here's the deal with the money. And we were laughing about this the other day. These dudes are sick of buying yachts, private jets, and property. Just so bored. So bored.

To hell with it. I'm going to buy athletes. And I'm going to buy the best golf athletes on the planet. I'm going to make golf grow in Saudi Arabia and this entire world. And I'm going to buy an entire league, which, by the way, 10 bill out of 650 bill, that's nothing. And so I'll tell you this, I guess that'd be an extra. The money they're sinking into the game is going to be great. How these guys coexist is going to be a different story, but just throwing around that kind of money just for the hell of it, just because they want to buy a league because they're bored with yachts

and women and cars and things. Yeah. Great. Yeah, and websites and food delivery apps, coffee. Yep. Video games. Bro, they have money everywhere. Everything.

Literally, all roads lead back to them. Yeah. And if you think it's going to stop at golf, just wait. No. They're going to get an NFL team team i think that is the thing uh some people automatically start saying they're gonna start a football league somebody just started hypothesizing that taking place i think the nfl is too good right now you know what i mean like the pga had a couple little weaknesses and i not knowing the pga as well as the people that have covered it for so long didn't know about a couple of them

i had no idea that guys could potentially lose money on a weekend, that they are being spotlighted on TV, that everybody's making money off. I had no idea that there was no contracts. I had no idea that there was like no guaranteed money basically anywhere except for from your marketing things, which only go upon how you play. So if you hit like a four week drought, there's a chance you're paying for travel, your caddy,dy your house losing money and you're a superstar player it's like i didn't know that that seemed like a hole that was a weakness that was like phil obviously greg a lot of ex-players i could see how they would fucking hate that as ex-players that felt like a weakness they could attack i don't know if the nfl has one that could get

players to want it you know what i mean i mean I guess just a shit ton of money would make it happen, but I think they would want a team more so than a battle with the NFL, if that makes sense. Well, that's what PTA was running out of money. They weren't going to be able to fight this legal case. And golf is the only pro sport where the athlete isn't guaranteed to make money when they show up to the tournament. NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL, even college football now.

These dudes show up, they're making money, regardless of whether they win, lose, or draw. So the PGA Tour, you've got to find yourself in a position to make the cut. Number one, if you don't make the cut, you're not getting a damn thing. So then to your point, Pat, you're paying your travel, your caddy, everything that goes into it. All they wanted, the biggest gripe with the PGA Tour, Phil Mickelson and the defectors was,

we just want guaranteed money to play the sport. Yeah. And that's why they are where they are. And the Saudis capitalized on that because they knew there was a weakness and they bought it. It does. It really does feel like, ah, I think we can get. Like that seems gettable almost, they thought.

Where I would assume at this stage the NFL is not. I would assume that they're not. Them combining, though, because the PGA wouldn't be able to keep up money-wise, if that was on purpose, like, that's a play, too. This is just like we talk about with old Haslam with Deshaun Watson, right? I'll pay him $230 million guaranteed because I can pay that. Then you look around the AFC North, it's like, Bengals are going to have to pay a quarterback.

You think they're going to be able to? The Ravens are going to have to pay a quarterback. You think they're going to want to do that? That's a play Haslam could say that he did on purpose. Now, Ravens were able to take care of it. We assume the Bengals will be able to as well. But that was a real thought. Can people keep up with him?

What if that was the play? You think you can keep up with us 50 100 million dollars whenever it goes to court you can't that's crazy to think because then saudi probably has all the leverage there right all of it they can leave a tour dry of all of their reserve funds keep in mind the pj tour is a non-profit organization of course of. Of course. No money. Of course. And so they could bleed them of all their reserves knowing that legal fees to them is like you, me, and the boys going out for three beers and a dinner. Like it doesn't matter to them. They're just like, what the hell is it?

We can do this for as long as you want. We know you're going to run out. And when you do, we're going to take it all. You're super healthy. I see you in the steam room, right't and then we see where we ran into each other in the steam room we did we did side life's problems and then the steam room felt like we were super healthy there too didn't you i felt like i was being super is that normal for you super healthy guy like we go for three beers and a dinner what do you are you uh any

diets are you you're on tv every fucking day pretty much like all year round yeah are you uh are you a super regimented guy i'm a portion control guy i'll typically eat anything like i i ate like an absolute pig in costa rica vacation you allowed that i drank for five straight days nice but beers white whiskey white vodka white tequila white vodka big vodka guy yeah hell yeah big martini little slightly Whiskey? What? Vodka? What? Tequila? What? Vodka? Big vodka guy, yeah. Hell yeah. Big martini, little slightly dirty martini, blue tea stuffed olives. I always drank the local beer. It was Imperial in Costa Rica.

That's kind of my lane. I stay right there. Okay, I like that. All right, so you're having a good time over there in Costa Rica. Yeah. Where are you from? Arizona. Arizona's a good time place, isn't it?

I mean, it feels like every human I've met from there is pretty good time. Born and raised in Scottsdale, went to Arizona State. Yeah, we tend to not take stuff too seriously. I mean, why would we? I want to move there. It's the desert. I think we want to move there. I think probably, and by we, I don't know if everybody else feels that way.

There's a good chance that this particular program will probably be out of the Arizona area at some point. I fucking love that place, man. That's where... It's the best place in the planet. So fucking love that place, man. That's where... So hot in the summer, though, huh? So hot. Well, look, there's three months of shit wherever you...

Like, there's three months of bad weather wherever you go, right? You can find... Mine is San Diego. San Diego is an anomaly, but you don't want to live there. But there's three months of bad weather wherever you go.

You just got to find the good part. And the good part from Arizona is typically October to June. Live it. Love it. That's the best time. That's the best time of this football. Yeah. You know what I mean?

That's like the best time of year. Holiday season. That's right. Oh, my God. Did Christmas out there like three years ago. Oh, yeah. It was awesome. Cactus are so underrated.

Like who thought christmas lights and cactus would be great that's how i grew up loved it look at you huh success story out of what's that cronkite school is that what's over there cronkite yeah the walter cronkite school of journalism so you always wanted to be a journalist you got in the sport was going to be sports what was it going to be yes i, so I grew up playing sports, and I stopped growing when I was like 15, 16 years old. I was like, well, I'm not going to play sports beyond the high school level. And I figured, what the hell, go talk about it. So I got a degree in journalism.

Bounced around local TV. I graduated from ASU in 2001. First job out of TV, Rhinelander, Wisconsin. First job out of college. Small-ass market. Oh, yeah. Talked to the governor. Oh, yeah. Hey, hey, hey. Hold on. In Wisconsin, governor called

you what? Dumb son of a bitch. Dumb son of a bitch. Yeah. That is awesome. That was then? Yeah, that was then. Fresh out of college. Governor, this dumb son of a bitch. That's then? Yeah, that was then. Fresh out of college. Governor. This dumb son of a bitch. That's the thing.

It's on the internet. Hot mic, yeah. Right now, hot. That is incredible to think about. He has since apologized, we heard. Yeah. Yeah, he apologized that day, and he said he didn't know the mics were on. So you still said it to me.

Oh, that makes it okay. I still heard you. But the funny thing about that interview is I was a sports guy. I didn't know what the hell I was doing doing the interview. And the reporter that was supposed to be doing it couldn't make it. And they're like, Matt, can you come sit in and do this satellite interview with the governor? I was like, yes, okay. Worked out great.

And I just started pounding him on local funding and became a man of the people. That's right. Sorry about it, Governor. I'm a hero. Okay. I'm filling in for somebody. You're welcome. Okay.

And then also, let's get to the bottom of this because I feel like sports is a much more, like, let's get to it world than the political world. They needed you over there. Fuck that guy. Yeah. You know what I mean? Fuck Wisconsin. So after Wisconsin, you said four different local markets. And then when you get to ESPN, is that next, I assume?

No, so I went a lot from Wisconsin to a lot in Oklahoma. Covered the Sooners. When Bob Stews back-to-back national championship appearance, Jason White, that whole era. Hell, yeah. Did you see that cake on the check down? It was a Longhorn upside-down boomer. Yeah, pretty cool.

For the Texas Longhorn husband of the wife that bought the cake. Yeah, it was. They really liked the Boomer Sooner thing. Hate Texas over there. Hate it, hate it. Absolutely hate it. Bounced over to Columbia, South Carolina when Steve Spurrier got the job. That's right.

So I was there for three years. Hell yeah. Then Dallas, Texas for five at the NBC station. And then ESPN after Dallas in February of 2013. Well, congratulations. You've done a great job. Hell yeah. You've done a great job.

That's a journey. I've seen some stuff. Yeah, absolutely, which is a good thing, I think, not a bad thing. I think you handle everything really well. You seem comfortable everywhere, including in interviews and conversations. So I think you've kicked ass for the little guy out of Scottsdale, huh? That's right. Hasn't grown since 15? Yeah.

Crushing it. Those first 14 years, though, all those sports you were crushing, which sports? Played baseball and football. I could show you a meathead Matt picture that would make your head spin. Oh, Ian Rappaport type? We saw a photo of Ian Rappaport when he was a member of the crew team at Columbia. Is it Columbia? Yeah, Columbia.

Columbia. He is, I mean, he's fully roided up. He is double the size of every other one of his teammates. There he is. That's Ian Rappaport right there in the front. I was 195 my senior year. How tall? No, you don't have to.

5'10". Oh. Pretty jock. Yeah, you're 5'10", 195. You're going to play sports? That's baseball. You can play that? Beefy, yeah.

What a job. Can't you play baseball there? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Why'd you give up up? He said, once I learned I wanted to stop growing at 15. Yeah, there it is.

Look at this guy. Wow. Holy shit, dude. Great number. Who's messing. Yeah, there it is. Look at this guy. Holy shit, dude. Great number. Who's messing with me right there? Nobody. I mean, nobody. A.J. Hawk might have came through there

and just said, all right, who's this guy? Especially because you're from Arizona. He's from a four-season climate. Automatically think they're tougher than you because you're from Arizona. So everybody from Ohio thinks that, let alone the president of Ohio, A.J. i would love to see you two do a nice boomer sooner oklahoma drill right oh yeah that'd be cool you know what i mean that would be great

we do it two days in the heat in the desert heat oh good turn that's a good counter yeah hey that's a good counter right there all right winter great go get me in pads with that brick shithouse right there. 115 degrees. Yeah, see, I'm crushing him. This is a freshman. This is a freshman A.J. Hawk. Yeah. Don't care.

I know. Look at that. Yeah, look at his pants. Oh. Oh. Wow. Oh. Look at that. Yeah, look at his pet. Oh. Oh. Wow. Oh. Uh-oh.

I don't know. We don't know. All right, let's move on. I appreciate you joining us. Great story. I didn't know about that. Connor has a question for you. Yeah, Matty, first off, you know, if you see a zip line going into a pool,

apparently that is probably what you should do. Good times. Yeah, that's one of the greatest things of all time. So if you do see that, hop on it. I highly recommend it. In regards to the golf, especially with Rory being the sacrificial lamb right now, going back to when everything

was happening, I believe it was kind of alluded to that Tiger was a huge reason why a lot of guys stayed, especially because of the history of the PGA and everything. Do you think that Tiger will come out and speak soon, especially because he is the 800 million, he is like the guy who is going to get the most?

Or do you think that he's just going to lay low a little bit, see how this whole thing plays out, and just let Rory kind of take most of the heat right now? Yeah, a little bit of both. I think Tiger is the one we're all waiting on. We've heard from Jack. We've heard from Rory. And those two have been some of the vocal guys in this.

But I think Tiger's going to do a little bit of both. The first, I think he's going to gather all the information that he can to assess what this is going to be. He's going to let it play out a little bit, and then he'll eventually speak. He's the one guy who is still the needle in golf i don't care who is on top right now i know it's scotty and rom and all these that's fine tiger's still the guy we're all waiting on and so he's pretty pragmatic with his decisions and how he wants to go about putting a message out there because brands tiger is still one of the biggest brands in all of sports and so he's gonna, and I think he'll gather some information,

and then he'll eventually speak. Because all these guys are waiting to hear from him. You, me, players, everybody. He's got that indoor league coming. They've got a 125,000-square-foot warehouse in Florida that they're building to have 2,000 fans in. And it's going to be an indoor golf league with teams of three taking each other on from the PGA, who has part ownership,

which I guess means Saudi has part ownership of as well. And right of first refusal, what does that mean for this? Because this deal was already done versus what's going forward. Who knows? But this should be pretty electrifying. They'll be driving into an IMAX screen, which will act as a golf simulator, and then that'll tell the distance from the pin, and then they will work the short game inside of the warehouse right there with a little practice green pretty much around it with sand and

everything. So they're playing 18 holes. I assume it's going to be quick. It should be electrifying. Some incredible shots can be had. I mean, chip-ins are still going to be chip-ins, especially if there's real money on the line, which there could be if there's real interest. Why wouldn't there be? And then you start really, that's a whole other sport almost. Correct. You know, Topgolf changed the game.

Topgolf changed the game. That becomes a whole other sport, though. People will try to build that in places. This is great, and Tiger is the main part of that, to your point. Yeah, he grew the game back in the mid to late 90s. That's when I started loving golf, back when Tiger was coming up, right? Because golf was a nerdy white guy sport, old guys, right? And then Tiger comes up, 96, 97,

and I'm killing people at Saguaro High School, as you saw there. And I'm like, well, wait a second. Golf, this could be cool. This could be something. It looks like he's going to do it again. You've got to grow the game. You've got to get some of these younger fans involved. The demographics change all the time.

I think it's going to be fun. Music playing, mic'd up probably. X Games golf. X Games golf. It's still happening. Hey, this is your fault. You. I've seen zero X Games highlights on SportsCenter.

What the hell? Zero. I seen a guy do a 900 the other day. Yeah. I seen it on my phone. Matt? Well, when I get off my month-long vacation, I'll start. Oh, I haven't been there, he ah smart good day that was a good play that was a good counter like 120 heat yeah with

the pads then yeah i mean that's good counter good points that is great that's happening right now you know that though x games are currently happening x games of golf would be sick like top golf has become such a phenomenon obviously i think the first one was in scottsdale so i i would assume that i think wasn't it what the first no first one was in i think it was in the texas area maybe top golf i thought it was in arizona coming yeah well they're putting the first one of that pickleball breakfast is going in uh arizona no yeah i thought top golf was anyways whatever the case whoever founded that or thought of that they had to know immediately yeah as soon as you open the first one it's's like, holy shit, this will be everywhere. And I think it's because there's music.

It's like a hangout. That indoor golf could potentially be the exact same. And if that's that, good for golf, good for everybody. And they have potential $650 billion to tap into if it's succeeding. Hang it out. If it's succeeding at all, they will. Right. You know what I mean?

Pump it. Let's make this bigger, better, stronger. Different cities. Take it on tour. Yes. Yeah. Absolutely. And I think it's all because Tiger didn't want to walk the golf courses anymore.

Allegedly. Is that what it was? Golf carts. He didn't want to take a golf cart in public. Oh. Oh. He doesn't want to be soft. How much do I love that? that he's like everybody's comparing me

obviously to jack and those have come before and i am the guy can't let anybody see me in a fucking golf not a chance because if he wins in the golf cart you know he's gonna be thinking oh nobody's gonna take this seriously exactly yeah so what's the golf cart he takes is him and charlie playing at the home club otherwise that, that guy's not going to do it. Hey, he's good, that kid. Obviously. I guess we should have known that. You have a golf coach who happens to live in your house, and your swing is better than his, he said.

These were the mistakes that I made that led to my back issues. Let's go ahead and not put those in here right now. So you can do it even further. I can't wait to watch him do his thing. Tone has a question for you, Matt. Yeah, Matt, this may sound stupid because he is the world number one and he is the favorite to win the U.S. Open, but I mean, Scottie's been top 12 for

his last 15 events. I think like November, October 2022 was the last time he finished outside of that, but is Scottie, like, is he not underrated but not talked about enough? You know, it's exactly well put. He's the number one player in the world. He's got a major championship.

He's in, you just gave all the stats. You know what it is about Scotty? Scotty doesn't make it about Scotty. Scotty. I mean, he's Joker. He's Joker.

Yes. Scotty's the guy that puts slippers by his bed. When he goes to bed, he's got slippers on the side of the bed, makes his bed every morning, folds it in military corners, and has a nice glass of milk when he starts the day. He's got slippers on the side of the bed, makes his bed every morning, folds it in military corners, and has a nice glass of milk when he starts the day. He's just – he's a wholesome dude that just dominates golf.

And so there's not much to it other than good golf. And so we like the players who give us stories. And Rahm, we know he's fiery, Rory's world class, but he's a guy that'll say anything. And so I think Scottie is a lot like when Jordan Spieth was up there. He's just a good, wholesome, really, really good golfer, and that's just the way it is because there's really not much else to him other than the purity of his game and his life, I guess.

What you just said there, when Jordan was up there, kind of a similar run as when Scottie's up there, I think that's the most impressive thing about Tiger, right? Tiger's like the New England Patriots. The New England Patriots made people get confused about how hard it is to be great in the NFL, okay? They were confused about how lucky you have to get, how good you have to be, when you have to be good,

when you can be better. Just for that sustained success for like 20 years, everybody's getting prepared to that. It's absurd to even think about. I mean, the Chiefs right now are in the middle of it. We might watch another 20 years. True. I have no idea with how good Patrick Mahomes is,

but it's going to be fucking tough. Just because of how stacked the AFC is and everything. Tiger did the same. Tiger was good for so long, just so long. And then he was gone. Then he drops back in. Then he's on Sunday. He's in the hunt or whatever.

It's like this guy's been – Jordan had a run. Rory had a run, right? Scooties up there right now. It's like, and then the fall seems to be pretty significant, like hard. And then there's like another climb potentially for some of them.

Is that an accurate reading? You think of how it all goes? Well, yeah. 2000, 2010, that decade from tigers, the greatest golf ever played.

And it greatest, you could argue the greatest dominance of any sport ever played. Because you're playing against how many guys in the field every week? 80-plus guys. Here's how insane Tiger was. There was a legitimate conversation in Tiger's prime where you would take Tiger or the field. And most people would take Tiger in that bet when he was at the height of his powers. Yeah, those were actual bets.

Do you want Tiger Woods or these other 130 people? And you go, it's thin. Someone said Brooks Koepka Koepka when he won back-to-back PTAs, back-to-back USO, but when Koepka was at his peak, that's the last time I think we've seen a guy that's like, you know what?

That guy's the one guy that can go out in the field and beat everyone's ass, run away, and hide. Yeah, and feels like he's back at that, which is cool. Also, with how much he's been celebrating this, feels like he's enjoying life. Yeah, dog. And he's playing good. It's like I'm excited for what this PGA Live combination thing does for Brooks

because I don't think he's going to want to do anything really with PGA, right? He's a majors guy only. So I'll be excited to see what other events happen, Because I don't think he's going to want to do anything, really, with PGA, right? He's a majors guy only. Yeah. So I'll be excited to see what other events happen. Like this indoor golf league. Like if it's in Florida and Brooks lives there and there's a lot of money to be had, I assume Brooks is going to go in there. Elevated events. Yeah, I assume he'll do that.

And then his legacy just grows and grows and grows. But there was a time when we were watching Netflix where we thought, this guy's never going to be able to fucking golf again. Yeah. I talked with him i walked with him at the pga championship during the practice run on tuesday and he and i just had a great conversation about life and where he's been and he basically said man i was i was at my lowest of lows because i i got hurt and i started picking up bad habits he's like all my bad habits on the golf course because i was i was compensating for other things so his swing coach claude harman was like dude you're you're gonna put everything down for a

month i don't want you touching anything and then they started they let him heal but then they started building him up one by one to get out of the bad habits and now i mean he look i think kepka was the tipping point in all of this because these guys that stayed on the pga tour like wait a second he got paid hundreds of millions of dollars he plays all these courses and he's still coming and beating us so what am i doing yeah smart question i think people should ask that i just love that it's happening for brooks because he was don in that netflix thing big time he's such a good because he was Don in that Netflix thing. Big time. He's such a good personality. He was such a good personality for golf.

Happy he's back. Ty, I have a question for you, Matt. Matt, you mentioned how golf's the only sport where nobody can become a household name through the course of four days. When you look at the U.S. Open, considering how tough the course conditions always are, do you think there's like a Michael Blocker, a Nick Taylor out there who's going to maybe run away and put together like a hell of a weekend? Or do you think it's going to be the same list of usual suspects there on Sunday? Yeah, I think you'll get a name or two

on the first couple of days. We typically get that at major championship where you'll have a couple of guys that are hovering around the leaderboard. We start looking at those stories and saying, hey, wouldn't it be great if Kurt Kinayama ran away with this? Michael Block is certainly someone you alluded to at the PGA Championship. But when you look at a course the way the LA Country Club is set up, it is going to favor the guys. There's two things. The one stat, the one

really nerdy golf stat I can give you to watch this week when you're putting in your bets, which I'm about to do here probably Tuesday. Whoa! Here we go. You have to look at greens in regulation. Greens in regulation is the way that this place is cut. Everything outside of the greens, the rough is so thick, you're going to lose at least a stroke on the field

if you're not hitting greens in regulation. That's the one you've got to look at. So I think the guys that do that the best coming in, the Victor Hovland, the John Rah do that the best coming in the victor hovland the john roms the colin maracawa's max homer certainly you got to keep an eye on those guys gotta watch hey and lacc is down with the thickness yeah you know what i mean oh yeah do you see that video yep they are you could miss your approach the ball was in that last shot at the beginning we were at the end of the video ball was already in the shot didn't see it yeah right we were waiting where the fuck

the ball was dropping it's gone it's gone matt the ball's gone like i'm skulling that shot into someone's forehead or duffing it one foot hey almost happened in canada there you know what i mean they put that in the stands there fleawood did and i enjoyed that that guy had it in his hand for the original high five that was on camera and somebody told him you should not have touched that in the smoothness with how drunk that guy would probably was yeah to just kind of oh yeah let's not overreact all eyes are on us right now okay and then the ball ends up on the ground then somebody else picks it up that person was shot on camera then they put it down and then the one guy was like it's right here and then the ball ends up on the ground. Then somebody else picks it up. That person was shot on camera. Then they put it down. And then the one guy was like, it's right here.

And then the guy goes, should I pick it up? And he's like, the whole world saw you. Your entire suite just picked this ball up. That was an interesting thing. I feel like one of those happened every single week during golf as well. Like when that ball was rolling down that fucking creek that was on the sidewalk, that thing was gone. Like, well, he's going to have to take it back to the point

that is no closer than where he was. Like, learning the rules throughout these golf tourneys every single weekend, it's fascinating. When those guys sculled two of them into the fucking side of the sand trap, that was awesome. Just, golf is awesome, Matt. Golf is the best. It's the only thing that there's a point in time where some of the world's

best will go out there and be like, man, I did that exact same thing. That's this weekend. A lot of that. Come on. Who's going to win it? Rom. Sound like you said. Rom probably will be there at the end, but I'm

going to go Victor Hovland. Whoa. Whoa. Okay. That's supposed to be from the first major championship. All right, sweet. We appreciate the hell out of you, ladies and gentlemen. Matt Berry, thank you. Hey, thank you, buddy.

Good convo. Great convo. Isn't Homa unbelievable in California? That's like his thing. Yeah, he's from California. And he threw Homa out there. I feel like that might be a nice little... He played very well earlier this year when they were doing the California swing. Okay, let's go.

Max is great for golf, too. Golf is doing it. To your point from earlier, this is the final finals week. The NHL and the NBA will end this week. Potentially tonight, the NBA. Oh, no. Potentially tomorrow, The NHL.

Could get extended. Could see massive comeback. Could see colossal comeback that we could talk about for the coming decade or so. That's right. But also, potentially, no sports after tomorrow. Yes. In the major sport

conversation. And golf's like, how you doing? Keep it moving. We got a fucking show for you. Don't worry. I really enjoy watching it, more so this year than any, I think because of the baby. Just like being there, like golf is fantastic. Speaking of, you know what US Open Sunday is?

Hell yeah. Happy Father's Day to you. Happy Father's Day to you. And you. Happy Father's Day to you and to you. You guys too, man. No, I'll stay out of it. I don't have any children. Hey. Happy Father's Day to you and to you. You guys too, man. No, I'll stay out of it. I don't have any children.

Hey, happy Father's Day. Happy Father's Day. Happy Father's Day, guys. I got a text from somebody that is a father. Text me, how about it this Sunday? Take it in, you know? Nice. I'm like, you know what? I will, actually.

This baby is awesome. It's getting to a really cool point. You know? Now granted, the wife is kicking a lot of ass here. Okay? I am trying to, I'm just there. You know what I mean? I'm in there.

And then when the baby comes on your chest, you hold her, you feed her, and it like kind of spits up on you. Oh yeah. It's like such a cool moment. And the mom, you know, Sam's like, excuse me, can you please? You got it.

Let me. All ears here. This baby that you're watching her grow. Starting to see a little personality. Oh, yeah. Starting to learn a little bit about her. It's awesome. Just keeps getting better and better.

We're staring eye to eye. She was on my chest. I was just, we're eye to eye. I'm like, there's no way she can really understand anything that's going on. But I love you, little boy. You know what I mean? It's a cool thing. It's a very cool thing.

I've enjoyed the hell out of it. So happy Father's Day. Happy Father's Day. And thank you guys for the advice and the conversation through it all. I really appreciate that. Homa has a course record 61 at LECC. Here we go. That's what Bruce Brown just put that information in our brains. Max Homa has a course record 61 at LECC. Here we go. That's what Bruce Brown just put that information in our brains.

Max Homa. All right. Okay. That's what I'm talking about. Here we go, Max. Well, you know, why do they do par 70 sometimes? I don't like that. You like 72?

72, yeah. Yeah, I feel like that's more standard. But I guess if they want to make the course longer, you just go ahead and shave off a stroke for a par. Make it harder. Yeah, I guess you can just make it more difficult. Par fives become par fours. Yeah, that's not good.

Not at all. No. Not at all. Need those scoring opportunities. I really enjoyed going. All right, let's get to a break. I enjoy the guy that we're going to talk to on the other side. Absolutely.

The guy we're going to talk to on the other side is not only a legend, but a guy that Matt Barry said he would run him over. That's right. What an interception you posted, by the way, yesterday. I didn't post it. I just quote tweeted somebody else that saw it. Great interception. I think you had a broken hand there on seven.

Future Hall of Fame quarterback. AJ Hawk, no, not a run. Let me drop back into coverage. Give me that. Down 10. Oops. Starting the fourth quarter with the ball in whose hands? Ours because of my hands Give me that. Down 10. Oops. Starting the fourth quarter with the ball in whose hands? Ours.

Because of my hands that are busted. Mm-hmm. A.J. Hawk. Get the fuck off me, he said. 10-0 offensive lineman at the end. No sleeves. Give me that. No.

Give me that. One-handed snag. I believe he has a cast on. Antonio Brown, part of the tackle there. Yes. Holy shit. Whoa, A.B. Antonio Brown also tackled Eric Swope, the tight end for the Indianapolis Colts,

on my only completion in the NFL. That could have been a touchdown, but instead, the guy was tackled like the A-yard line. That's right. Not afraid to stick his helmet in there. Well, we wish he would have done a little less, I think. Let's go to a break. AJ Hawks on the other side, Aang Gumpy.

More sports convos. Like Troy Paul Molle said what happened. Yeah, he did. You know what I'm talking about. Son of a bitch. If you don You know what I'm talking about Son of a bitch If you don't know what I'm talking about You'll find out Troy Paul Molle tried to ruin my life

And he did, he had me in the first half He did, it was a long time I was pretty miserable about that I've recovered since but it is a moment that should be in my Rolodex of life I've been living the dumbest life Of all time Documented, you've seen it, I've been living the dumbest life of all time. Okay?

Documented. You've seen it. I've seen it. Why is it happening? Who the fuck knows? Okay? I don't... I'm just going to try to enjoy it. Supposed to have a touchdown in Heinz Field.

Supposed to have a touchdown in Heinz Field. Yep. Supposed to be in there. Kickoff Super Bowl. That's pretty cool. Mm-hmm. Undefeated WrestleMania and sanctioned matches. That's fucking sweet.

Pretty sweet. Behind the scenes scenes Doing this show Super cool Game day Game day's super cool This is just professional life So much cool stuff Imagine if I had a

Fucking touchdown in there In Pittsburgh Yeah exactly Are you kidding me Whole family in the stands Everybody in the fuck What are we talking about? Yeah.

Every human. Yeah. Me walking around Pittsburgh later in life. Oh, my God. Completion on Thanksgiving against the Steelers. How you doing? Biggest turkey bowl of all time. Boom.

We will lose by 21 points. No one needs to remember that. And then a touchdown there. Oh, my God. The conversations would be amazing. Because I have some diehard steelers friends die hard oh yeah i mean you boys bones oh man bones would actually die for the pittsburgh steel he would 100 right now yeah would actually

which is crazy to think about i I do believe in the right situation, if he was offered something, he would take brutal harm to himself for the good of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Not even a question. He'd do anything. I don't know about die because of like the full implications of that.

He would cut a limb off of his body on his own. Yeah, kind of like what Greeny was saying about when Aaron. Sure. But like actual. Yeah. Like wood actual. Oh, fuck. Alright. Boom. Would do that. I didn't touch it.

But instead I got Troy Paul Mollard. Which I guess a bunch of people have gotten Troy Paul Mollard. Yeah. The reason why he's Troy Paul Mollard is because Troy Paul Mollard Paul Mollard people. Yep. And that means, oh, you think I'm going to be here? Boom. I'm not. Art of war. Shinzu.

Rest in peace. Instead, I have to check out of a fucking 100 percenter. Fake field goal. That's a high scoring football game. Go back to the beginning of the thing. Beginning of the video. Okay, so there's me literally yelling. Jack Doyle's like, what?

Go back to the beginning. Jack Doyle is supposed to block differently for this. So Jack Doyle is literally like, no, no, we didn't block out of this ever. This was a guaranteed fake field goal touchdown. Walk in. Walk the fuck in. And Jack Doyle's looking at me like, is Pat a little

soft right now? What do you mean? Well, he doesn't Pat, you're going to score a touchdown here. Yeah, just kick the fucking ball, okay? We're not running it. And then the sideline, Chuck's like, what the fuck are you going to score a touchdown here? Yeah, just kick the fucking ball, okay? We're not running it. And then the sideline. Chuck's like, what the fuck are you doing? What the fuck am I doing?

I mean, we're kicking it. We're kicking the ball. For the half, too. That would have been huge. Huge. Colts haven't beat the Steelers since 2008. All right. Boys.

Colts are terrible. That whole corner there, too. That's where we walk in and out of. There's a lot of chatter in that area. A lot of chatter. College. Yep. Pro.

A lot of chatter in that corner. So now I'm dancing in their faces? Yeah. Oh, my God. Obviously, I would have done nothing to score that touchdown. But I would have acted like I did something. Absolutely. Still scoring it.

Is that the game Ben threw for 500? Yeah. Probably. I mean, it's 35-17 the first half. See, you should have got it because then it would have been awesome. You guys still would have lost, but you would have at least had that touchdown. Yeah, that's how everybody would have. I hope you guys lose, but I hope you punk good, man.

I hope you do good. That would have been nice. Thanks. Very nice of you. My life's miserable when we lose. You know that. But our life's good. All right.

Let's get to a break. Can't wait. AJ Hawk miserable. We lose. You know that. But our life's good. All right. Let's get to it, Rick. Can't wait. AJ Hawk on the other side. There we go. Troy Palamali's giving his reasoning for why he fucking ruined my life. Troy. What's the point, Troy? I think I had my magic thumb in my holster there.

I think I was going to make a handkerchief disappear. Oh. Should have. That would have been all time. Why is he over there? Why is he over there? Why is he over there? Why are they overloaded to the sideline on a field goal that's short? There's no reason to do that.

You always, you're going to, there's more space over here. Over here. So you're going to want to, but instead he, why do you do that? It's ridiculous. His hair just fucking so beautifully... I know. ...along the shoulders. ...over there.

It's like, how can you not see him? I felt like one of those quarterbacks that as soon as he threw the ball... Oh, yeah. ...oh, no. Why is that fucking guy here? Didn't see him. Got Paul Mullen, dude. And joining us live in an attic in Ohio is a man who's a college football

national champion, a Super Bowl champion. He's the all-time leading tackler for the Green Bay Packers, father of 10, COVID survivor, champion of Ohio! In Matt Berry's bitch. I didn't say it. AJ Hall, ladies and gentlemen. Did you hear that? Did you hear that?

I did hear that. Did you hear that? I did hear that. What exactly did Matt Berry say? I saw pictures of him. He looks good. Freshman you versus senior him. 5'10", 195. I don't know what Kirk Herbstreit's size was.

No. But we do know that from that era of AJ Hawk, retired Kirk Herbstreit as a full-grown adult with a spear to Temple, putting him out of his misery. This A.J. Hawk right here was Rydell to Temple on an adult Kirk Herbstreet in an alumni game for those Centerville Elks. Yes, that was happening in Centerville. That happens in Ohio. So whenever you talk about states that love football, Ohio has full-grown adults in full pads playing against our high school team in some places. Why?

Remember that. Herb Street was one of them. A.J. was young on the team. He was either kill or be killed. He killed Herb Street's career. Herb Street popped that helmet off that he had to take the straps off. Popped that helmet off and said, I ain't doing it ever again. Retired

from football and the alumni game. Matt Berry, who looks like this, says he's running over A.J. Hawk. I don't know, Matt. A.J., I don't know. But he does seem to have some pretty good property jockness to him. You know what I mean? He looks good.

I can see him being... did he play safety on defense? I can see him decapitating some people out there. Oh, 11 looks like a good safety. Great safety. Probably slot receiver too. He's a lot bigger than me. In that picture, I'm only like 155 pounds probably. Yeah, but you know what they say about the dog and the fight thing.

Exactly. You know what I mean? The fight and the dog type thing. Ohio dog. Big dog. Ohio dog. Big dog. Big fight. And those shoulder pads weigh at least 65 pounds so did you hear his you're right you're right you might have been 195 as well exactly we don't know we honestly don't know

pads yeah no question full pad boom so you're right in the same weight class i mean you're doing percentage after weighing in that whole thing he's kind of got you he's got big shoulder pads too i mean barry it looks like he's got a neck roll on, I believe. Yeah, it looks like a neck roll. Dude, he used to put his face in there, I think. Oh, yeah. Do they have live Elks at your guys' games? Yeah, does one come running out? They sacrifice. That'd be awesome if somebody

rode like a big Elk in the game. They have a big Elk head in the gym where we play basketball. See that Elk? We killed it. Yeah, AJ cut his head off. We're the Elks now. With an axe. Yeah. Is that what you guys did? I don't know who killed the Elk. I don't know who mounted the Elk, but it. AJ cut his head off. We're the Elks now. With an axe. Is that what you guys did? I don't know who killed the elk. I don't know who mounted the elk, but it's been up there for years. People are mounting Elks?

Jesus. We had a wild time over there in Centerville, but I don't think Matt Berry fully understood the assignment there. Just with the type of humor we're talking about, but he was great on the program. He said something to me, AJ, that I had not heard. And I think I probably should have heard it. Or maybe I did hear it and I just, eh, because I didn't want to hear it.

Because it is a good argument. You know, those of us who grew up in cold weather climates, where it gets cold, we are naturally, no offense to Warren, we think we're tougher than you. Yeah, more grit. That's just how it goes. If I can open the fucking door and get pneumonia yep that's a real thing foxy laid it out in a beautiful fashion because he's from michigan it gets like negative there and they still have to go do school and stuff negative 10 7 a.m you got to scrape your car and go somewhere

you don't want to go pitch black dark that's great yeah that's that's gonna just naturally come from us living and being doesn It doesn't mean we like cold. No. It doesn't mean we like cold. But we naturally had to go through that at some point. He said, think about wearing those pads with the cowboy collar on. He has in 115-degree weather in the middle of the summer. It's like fucking valid point.

Great point. Valid, valid, valid point, AJ. Don't you think? I think it is a valid point. Yeah, it's just different. Like people that have grown up in cold, I agree. Playing when it's 100 degrees and humid that sucks as well that's very tough but also i mean i play with dudes that came up from florida and they got to ohio state like man i didn't we didn't realize it was this humid in ohio this sucks like we thought it

was going to be cold here you're right no man it's still pretty hot in the summer oh you're saying we're training for your weather too yeah. Yeah. I thought the same thing. It doesn't hurt to play in the heat. Hot is hot in the summer. I don't know. Arizona, bro? It's dry. Arizona is so hot.

It's ridiculously hot in Arizona. Bro, it is the hot that has no water hot. It's a fucking desert. It is different hot out there, I think. I'd rather be hot than cold any day unless I'm sitting in a fire. Because hot doesn't hurt. It hurts to hit in the cold any day. Unless I'm sitting in a fire. Because hot doesn't hurt. It hurts to hit in the cold. It doesn't hurt to hit in the heat. It is so hot, too. I don't know if it's being kind of hammered

home. You can't walk on tiles in the summer in Arizona. You need shoes. It is so hot. You kind of need that everywhere sometimes. But to your point, you go outside, you're going to get physically injured. Yeah, I've never experienced it like that in Arizona like I did last year. Yeah, it was crazy.

It was so hot. Remember that neighborhood we stayed in, Pat? That neighborhood we stayed in out in Arizona, I believe, was it? Yeah, for the Super Bowl? Yeah, for whatever it was. The Super Bowl. Just happened. Just happened.

The LA one. No concussion. They all run together for me. Yeah, of course. Every event. All life does. Yeah, you won a Super Bowl, dude. Yeah, congrats. And a college football. Those are, every event. Yeah, you won a Super Bowl, dude. And a college football. Those are two different events.

College football, national championship, Super Bowl, two different events. Congrats. You were there. Thank you very much. But all those people in that neighborhood where we were staying, nobody, people were coming back. They stay there in the winter and then summer comes and they all get the hell out of town. They go back to wherever they're from. Yeah, you gotta do what you gotta

do. I guess, you know to do what you got to do. I guess, you know, there's definitely some pros, though, to having to battle desert heat in the middle of summer when it comes to a little toughness. You know, with that being said, you're right. Summers do get hot as fuck, I guess, everywhere. They do. So you just worry about people dying because it seems to happen in the heat a lot more than anywhere else.

Anyways, he was a good conversation. Talked about golf. We talked about a lot of stuff. Let's start diving in to a little bit of football news. DeAndre Hopkins is going to be a Tennessee Titan. Yeah. Okay? DeAndre Hopkins is going to be a Tennessee Titan.

Let me tell you why. Whenever he landed in Nashville, and I assume he flew private. WNBA needs to do that. Yep. I assume he flew private to Nashville. He gets on a Sprinter van, okay? He gets on a Sprinter van, and in there, there's a nice TV. It says, welcome to Nashville. He gets on a Sprinter van, gets on a Sprinter van, and in there there's a nice TV that says,

Welcome to Nashville. Look how cool you look right here. Okay, top of the line. Top of the line, got the window open. He was enjoying his conversation with the driver. Probably give him a tour around Nashville. Hey, right here, this is where Taylor Swift lives. Hey, right here is where Faith Hill lives.

And living with Faith Hill is actually Tim McGraw. Guess what? Tonight, you got all access to Tim McGraw calls. What? Oh, no. You wear that cool hat

you fucking wear, DeAndre Hopkins. Wear it to this thing. You're going to have an absolute blast. And it's not just about the music. Wait until you feel

the scene here in Nashville. Imagine what this place would be like if the fucking Titans were going on to win. We need you to get there. I mean, the pitch that Nashville and the

Tennessee Titans are making to DeAndre Hopkins feels like one where Vrabel's like, okay, last GM, you saw it, got rid of our guy. Okay, A.J. Brown, you saw it happen. Messed up. Did you watch the video of me? Watch it back. I can voice over what I was thinking when the decision was made

without my input being heard or anything. You hear me go, this motherfucker, actually. And then I get up and leave. So we need a guy. Okay, Derrick Henry can only do so much. Vrabel, what? Football genius, right? Yeah, absolutely.

So if Vrabel's interested in DeAndre Hopkins, I think that says a lot, first of all. Sure. But also, I think this is from top down, the mistake that the last GM made, we need to fix. And if we fix it, we're heroes automatically. And DHOP can be that for the Tennessee Titans, AJ. Is everybody, everywhere that DHOP goes, are they all doing like this college recruiting situation? Like, that's awesome.

The sprinter van, his picture's already up in uniform. He's at a concert. That sounds like an official visit for a college kid. Yeah, it's great. It's brilliant. I love that this is happening for players. Not all players are going to get this. Okay, be who you can afford to be.

But if you guys are getting this, congratulations, more power to you. And we haven't heard much about any other visits except for Bill Belichick saying I'm not a travel agent. No. Okay. So I'm not going to say something and then it not happen, and then you say that I misled you. That's not going to take place.

Never. That's what Bill Belichick actually said to a reporter talking about the DeAndre Hopkins visit, because now I guess it's in jeopardy or it's upside down or they don't know information. Because of how good Nashville and Tennessee Titans are treating DeHoff, that might be the case. Joining us now is a man who has the answers for this. Okay.

This guy is on ESPN every single day of his life. He looks good. Always. He's good. Always. He's a model. Yeah? He's an actual model for a fashion company. You know what? Those fashion weeks,

those companies rent out those places. They put on shows. Yeah. If this one particular company was to do that, like in Paris or any of these other places, he would be fucking walking the runway thing. Absolutely. This guy's a professional model. You could say that. be fucking walking the runway thing. Absolutely. This guy's a professional model.

He was in the NFL for 12 years. He's a spokesperson, a pitch person now. Yeah. For a shoulder-relieving tool to make you feel better and be healthier. Ladies and gentlemen, the face of ESPN football, Dan Orlovsky. There we go! What's up, Dan? What up?

How are you, boys? Did I describe your life in this exact moment? You're crushing life right now, dude. Yeah, I mean, basically the reality is I didn't make enough money playing football, so I have to do all these other things to try to make up for it. Okay, hey, I respect that. Backup quarterback life is good, but you're going to have to work. I understand that.

I appreciate that. What's this shoulder thing we're selling? Huh? Does this thing work? You got to – it was – they're here. What do we got? Sweet. Dude, do we have one of these?

How do I get one of these? And what will it do for me? Is it going to make me jocked? Am I going to get jocked from this thing? No. You get – it's a 60-day money-back guarantee, one-time payment fee. So you can get yourself one. Wow.

Hey, okay. It's helped me. I've got my kids on a little bit. So if you've got some shoulder discomfort, it'll give you good shoulder relief, bub. I do have shoulder discomfort. Is it going to make me jocked or is it going to make it more flexible? Should I be doing both arms? Should I make sure I keep it balanced?

This feels like this is the Bowflex thing. Oh, yeah. When Randy Johnson, after he blew up that bird he was doing. The blade. The blade thing. Yeah, yeah. When Randy Johnson, after he blew up that bird, he was doing. The blade. The blade thing. Yeah, yeah, that thing maybe. Body blade? Yeah, there it is.

Is that what this is? Is that what we're doing? Yeah, shake weight. Are we working out the whole fucking core here? Shake weight. Am I getting jogged? Yeah, dude, you do it 30 seconds. I don't know if it's going to help the core, but it'll help that shoulder discomfort.

Your blood flow, too, you sleep with the thing that attaches to the lower knee or base of your knee and then your wrist, and it helps blood flow when you sleep. Oh, I'm sleeping with this thing, too? Okay, welcome to the bed. I did not know that was happening. No tying it together? Hey, let's go. Hey, let's go.

Dan, oh! Come on, Dan. Did you invent this thing? Gotta get the shoulders loose, boys. Yeah, I agree. Okay, let's dive into some sports? Gotta get the shoulders loose, boys. Yeah, I agree. Okay, let's dive into some sports. Gotta get the shoulders loose. We were just talking about a D-hop was down in Tennessee.

A.J. Brown gone. Their offense kind of gets stagnant. Obviously, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the new king of the town, might not be playing in their stadium for a couple years, but they're the new king of a new town, hour and a half down the road, Daytona, where they might be playing in fucking Daytona. Oh, my God.

Okay. Daytona. They might be playing in Daytona. Unbelievable., my God. Okay? Daytona. They might be playing in Daytona. Unbelievable. For two years. That's a long time. Shout out to the Jaguars fans who have been there, been there, been there, been there. Team gets good.

All right. Hour and a half down the road. Down Daytona. Just for two years. You make the trip once a year. You know the deal. Go ahead and do that. But anyways, the Jacksonville Jaguars top of the AFC South.

Tennessee Titans were that there for a bit. Then they lose a weapon and everything stinks. the AFC South. Tennessee Titans were that there for a bit. Then they lose a weapon and everything stinks. DHOP is a major priority for them. And how will it work if it does work out, Dano? I think, first of all, Tennessee needs DHOP more than DHOP needs Tennessee. Tennessee's got bottom, you know, I say the same thing about like New England and maybe Houston, Indies, like they've got those bottom three or four skill groups in the conference. That's just the reality. If Tennessee wants to have the chance to compete, score points wise, they need someone on the perimeter that's going to

put fear in defenses. I think the thing for Hopp is does Hopp want to go to another place that has not elite level quarterback play? Tannehill's a good quarterback. They obviously have Will Levis as likelihood to be their future. And DeHopps had a lot of years now that he hasn't had the benefit of playing with one of those elite quarterbacks outside of that time that he had with Deshaun Watson. When he had Deshaun Watson, he was in that conversation to be,

is DeAndre Hopkins the best wide receiver in the NFL? So even at the age of 31, he's got to be sitting there going, is Tennessee the ideal place for him? I don't think it is. I understand why Tennessee is very interested, but I don't see DeHop choosing Tennessee over some of the other options. They got country concerts. He was at Tim McGraw.

Yeah. Where the green grass grows. You haven't heard it? Back when? Wake up. Huh? Tim McGraw. What?

You don't know Tim McGraw? Fu Manchu, the bull. His dad was a pitcher. Tug. It's a great song, but that's not going to get you what you want. That's a great song but that's not gonna that's not gonna get you what you want at the end of the day like hop wants to go be dominant and it's a great italian what do you mean dude he's not he's not going to tennessee because of that oh jesus i mean that'd be cool to be able to do wouldn't i mean that would be cool that's a bad move, wouldn't it? I mean, that would be cool for you to do. It's such a bad move. On like a Wednesday? Like a Wednesday?

Kid Ross. Let's go to a Jelly Rolls performance. No big deal. Okay. I guess. Sweet. I guess I'll go watch Jelly Roll. Stapleton's on tonight.

Okay. I guess. They throw the ball 25 times a game, 30 times a game. And where are they all going? Where are they all going? All 25 times. Where are they going? I disagree with you.

I just don't see how he looks at Tennessee if the conversation is, hey, New England's interested and Baltimore's interested and Detroit or Philly are interested. And he's like, you know what? Maybe even Cleveland. I'm going to pick Tennessee. I don't see that. Given the quarterbacks that he could play with elsewhere.

Look, Brian. Tuesday. Yeah. You know what I mean? But the quarterbacks that he could play with house-wise. Look, Brian, on a Tuesday. You know what I mean? But New England. Does he even like country music? I assume. I'm thinking he does. You think he's just posting anything he doesn't like? I don't think so. No chance.

You're saying D-Hop is just like a fugaz? He would post something he doesn't like? What are you talking about, Dan? You're just assuming that he does because he put up a picture. He just might have been invited to the event and asked to post a picture. No. Everybody loves Tim McGraw. In the car, he had Tennessee Whiskey playing by Chris Stapleton.

Boom. How about that, Dan? Hey, Stapleton, by the way, guy, sings this song Thursday. Just go ahead and see him right down there. Wow. D-Hop takes his hat. You're not going to Tennessee. I just don't think he's going to Tennessee.

You ask me, do I think he's going to Tennessee? I don't think he's going to Tennessee. We made a compelling argument. That's the record show. Shit on the ground. Don't worry. Which isn't good for the Colts, by the way. We don't want to see D-Hop in the AFC South again.

Okay? I've seen him do a Hail Mary against us one time. Just what are we even doing? Why is that guy's hands so fucking big? Anyways, AJ, go ahead, pal. Dan, let's say you were DeHop right now in that situation. Where are you going? Where's the best fit?

If I was DeHop and I could choose to where I would go, and I think realistic teams that potentially in the conversation, number one, New England, as long as he thinks Mac Jones is a good player. New England has nobody on the perimeter that's really going to scare you. What do you think about Mac Jones? I think that he's a huge year for Mac. I think Bill O'Brien's got a great feel for what Hopp excels at. He doesn't have to get them open.

He just has to get them one-on-ones. Let's live in the world where he doesn't want to go play in New England. He wants to go play with an elite-level quarterback. I would say the two would be Baltimore and Philadelphia. Nah. But Cleveland. The connection just said. And OBJ hanging for a full year.

And that's Cleveland. Cleveland's solid. Cleveland's solid. I still think Philadelphia would be a better situation. Okay. We heard some of it. Yeah. New England.

No, he didn't say New England. Yeah, he said New England first. No, but then he said if you want to play with an elite quarterback, you go to Philadelphia or Baltimore. That would mean much less money, right? So you're saying you think that you don't know what the decision is coming down to? I think the decision has to come down to playing with an elite quarterback and having a real chance to play Super Bowl championship football,

like playing a contending Super Bowl champion football. He's made a ton of money. He's been at the top of I'm the best receiver in the NFL. I'm sure he wants to continue to get paid well and play for a long time. But for a guy who's kind of done it all over the last eight or nine years in the NFL at wide receiver, go play for a quarterback that's a star. Yeah, and it would be cool to watch him in a program that was going on a run because we'll see him on prime time on a bad team.

He'll have 12 catches in like four minutes. A dog. It'll make no sense at all. And they'll all be highlight catches. They won't just be basic-ass catches. It's fantastic. Connor has a question for you. Dan O?

Yeah, Dan. I mean, you said bottom four New England position group skill-wise. You can make that argument with wide receivers. But, you know, slow your roll on Ramondre Stevenson. He's one of the best running backs in the NFL. He was a fantasy running back for my team last year. We did not come in last. And how did he do? We did not come in last.

He's not one of the best running backs in the NFL right now either. You can make your point. He's the best running back in the AFC East. What, did you just get off a fucking photo shoot that made you stand around? What's the deal? Why do you hate everything? Are you alright? Dude, first of all, Brees Hall led the NFL

in yards from scrimmage. Coming off an ACL. Right, but to sit here and say one of the best running backs in the NFL and then clearly the best running back in the AFCs, I just don't agree with. Well, I just don't agree with you either, but that's fine. Brees Hall's a dog, though.

Brees Hall's a dog. Absolutely. Good player. Demons is a good player. Whatever, Dan. Speaking of him and the Jets, Bob Sala canceling the last week of minicamp. Does that mean things are just unbelievable? And should we just

not even play the season and just let the Jets go to the Super Bowl? Because all we're hearing this entire time is Bob's season. Look how great the Jets are. Everyone's having so much fun. What's the deal? Okay, Dan.

I just think, like, Rogers hung around a little bit longer than they had thought. You know, I think Aaron said that, that he was planning on going to back out west and then the calf injury, so he's around a little bit more. So that probably expedited their time together and the work they got done. So I'm a believer too like i don't i don't necessarily know how much that you do right now actually correlates to august i think because most i mean pat knows this aj knows this like you you start everything all over again in august so they're meaningful reps but you also are starting over again in august so um listen theets are everything that is needed to beat Kansas City.

The Jets have. Not a ton of teams have it. The Jets have it. And I think that absolutely they got to go do it. The expectations are different nowadays. Everyone understands that. But I think Rodgers is going to play a lot more like the MVP years than he did last year.

I think that defense will be better than the unit that gave up 13 points a game last year. I just think the Jets right now are exactly where they need to be. AJ, Aaron said he's having more fun than he's ever had in his entire life or something like that. What's that all about? He fit right into the city, didn't he?

He said he's having the most fun I've had in a long time. What's that all about? Seems like it. Yeah, he fit right into the city, didn't he? Oh, he said I'm having the most fun I've had in a while. Long time, like since long, long time. What's that all about? AJ, I thought you guys hung out a lot. He's in New York City sitting courtside at games and going to plays and different things. He's at an award show. He's at Tony. He's at Tony Awards.

Look at this guy. Tony Awards. Tony Awards. Does he have a shirt underneath? No. I think he's doing my – I actually tried to zoom in, only had this shot available on the internet of him and CJ. Wait, he went shirtless?

Yeah. Maybe a tank, bro. He has a pinky ring on, too. I don't think he's wearing underwear, either. Bro, if he went with a tank right now, I don't think so either. I mean, his legs are so big, you know, you can't really do that type of thing. No point. What about the zipper, though, with the no undies?

That's a tough pull-off. Yeah, probably. You just got to be careful. though with the no undies? That's a tough pull off. Just got to be careful. Yeah, you got to dip down there. You got to dip and dive. Or just pee your pants. Much more comfortable though, ain't it? I mean, it really is. It's a game changer. I'm not wearing any right now. It's just an open shirt.

Is that golf ball? Or does it come like sewn into the suit so it looks like you're wearing a shirt? So it is the jacket. The jacket is the shirt as well. Bingo. Comes together. It's just right here where the shirt is popping out. That's why we need a couple of those. Yeah, absolutely.

Let me just put the shirt jacket on. Easy. It's a great life. It's like a onesie. Alright, anyways. Tony has a question for you. Yeah, Donald. There's some Broncos offensive linemen who tell me I'm going to eat fucking crow because Russ Wilson is going to come back and he's going to be the best quarterback ever. Garrett Bowles.

Yep, thank you. Is he right or is some other people right that he maybe just stinks now? Jeez. Whoa. I think it's hard to go from. That was aggressive. I think it's hard to go from like really good, borderline great, you know, trending Hall of Famer to stink without some significant injury

or, you know, just basically totally shutting down when it comes to work ethic wise. So we don't, Russ doesn't, you know, hasn't shut it down work ethic wise. It just didn't work ethic wise. So we don't, Russ doesn't, you know, hasn't shut it down work ethic wise. It just didn't work last year. I would be very surprised if he does not play much better football this year, like significantly improved. He said he was out of shape last year, though.

A lot of people said he was potentially out of shape and then he lost. That's what he said in so many different ways. He was, they were saying- Lean and mean? What's that? He said he looks lean and mean right now or feels lean and mean yeah but visible difference right yeah i mean like actual like okay was that a thing

because he was high kneeing on the plane and then he was in monaco with the pads on yeah we saw so did he think he had to be bigger you think or what do you think i think that's always who rush no i think like i think russ has always been kind of a person that tries to put forth the work, at least publicly. That's what we know about him. When we met with him last year, he didn't kind of present himself to be out of shape. Russ has always kind of been stocky. I don't know.

I'd expect him to play significantly improved football this year, for sure. I don't know if it's going to be enough to get them into the playoffs, but he'll play a lot better. Oh, Sean Payton can't get the Denver Broncos to the playoffs. He can't get the job done. Oh, wow. He feels lean and mean and ready to go. Properly jocked Russell Wilson right now.

Properly jocked. But he doesn't look skinny there. I mean, he looks like stocky Russell Wilson. Properly jocked Russell Wilson right now. Properly jocked. But he doesn't look skinny there. I mean, he looks like stocky Russell Wilson. Properly jocked. He's always... Properly jocked. Properly jocked. He lost 40 pounds in his face, though. Yes. Yeah, we've seen it. He went from my face to AJ's face.

Last year edition. He was starting to look like some of the running backs that retire and then stop running. And kickers and punters. Everybody. But you're right. Running back certainly does appear to be a position that if running is in the name of what I do for a living, when I get a chance to retire, I ain't ever fucking doing it again.

I mean, he looks like the bus. Or he did. Oh, my gosh, dude. That's not true. He did. The bus was so big. Do you remember? He was playing running back at 295.

Yeah. 290. big. Do you remember? He was playing running back at 295. Yeah. 290. Just dancing, you know? Yo, you know who I saw you at CC on last week? Sabathia? Dude, you ever seen that dude in person? Yeah, one time. Elevator.

Look straight up. What's up, dude? He's fudging enormous. Whoa. Holy hell. That was close. Oh, my God. Had the first two there.

Last three. How big a human being he is. Wow. You were so close to saying, you were close. And he made me think it, so I'm a bad guy now. Yeah, we're going to have to do the same thing, though.

Yo, Connor, is it true that you went to Fairfield University? Dan, let's stay on topic here, please. Whoa, whoa, what happened? What's going on here? What happened? Yes, is it true that you went to Fairfield University? Dan, let's stay on topic here, please. Whoa, whoa, what happened? What's going on here? What happened? What happened here? Yes, it's true. I might know somebody that went to school here.

Oh! Dan, I was investigating. You were smooching with Susie under the tree. Whoa! No, I thought you wasn't. Was that up in your area up there? What's going on? Yeah.

Ten minutes from there. It's an incredible, incredible academic institution. Gosh darn right. What? Sailing school? Five years. Five years. I mean, he got a chance to do the first year a couple times,

but that's. Yeah, exactly. You're big in. We got into lacrosse a little bit. That's your world, right? Didn't we tap in there? Have you seen us? We might become a lacrosse show if we start watching more, which we need to start doing. Yeah, you guys

start watching more. Shout out to the Staples High School boys. They won the state championship. That's the high school... Hell yeah, boys! Hell yeah, boys! Back to back Back to back Wow Staples is cool

Alright Dano We appreciate you Pat I was on a golf trip the other day And I just want to let you know that everybody now On golf courses yells I gotta go up and down Not up and down I gotta get this up and down

And I'm just like Hey hey, that's awesome. That's really cool. You're starting a revolution, bud. No, that's good. You and Cal. It's been around a long time. You know what I mean? It was kind of just, it was being suppressed a little bit.

It was. People get out of the city and they say, you can't talk like that anymore. It's like, why? Why? Well, because it sounds so ridiculous. You shouldn't ask. Is that a Pittsburgh accent? All right, Dan. Feels like he perfectly does. Oh, wait. I thought it was West Virginia. All right, listen. That shouldn't ask me. Is that a Pittsburgh accent? All right, Dan.

Feels like he perfectly knows. Oh, wait. I thought it was West Virginia. All right, listen. That's an honest question. Me too. Everybody needs to stop. Okay?

Everybody needs... It's an honest question. I'm being dead serious. Indiana? Okay, you're just spitting in the face of yinzers everywhere right now. Kindly leave, Dan. Yeah, this is disgusting. Okay, here you want to compliment it.

You're forced to compliment it for the first time in the existence. Okay? Suit up here. At golf course, probably nice courses. Oh yeah, for sure. You got these people saying up in, Don! Love that. And then Dan has to drag it back, Don. What's that all about, Dan?

I'm asking, is it a Pittsburgh thing? Is that a Pittsburgh thing? That's what I'm asking you. Yes, if you're genuinely curious, which I don't know if you're being serious. I am genuinely curious If you're genuinely curious, which I don't know if you're being serious or not. I am genuinely curious. I figured it was, but I didn't know. How's your golf game right now? Are you playing good? Is that the shirt you're wearing? Is that the shirt that you're a model for?

My golf game stinks right now. And what you do this morning? Just doubles all over the place? Oh, no. No, I didn't play this morning. I'm working today, dude. Thanks for watching. I thought NBA Live Countdown was today. Is that not a potting green behind you?

Yeah, you're at a golf course. No, this is ESPN. Oh! Whoa! You get working, Donner? Campus is sweet. Yeah. I got to do NFL today

at 4 o'clock. All right. Let's go. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? We're going to do running back conversation, Saquon. I think the whole running back is undervalued thing is probably not an accurate or as accurate of a statement as people think it is.

Of course you do. We're talking Trevor Lawrence, kind of year two, under Doug Peterson. Nice. Pop. Tennessee, confirmed. Yeah, he's going Tennessee. I think we'll do a little bit of that. All right, well, good luck out there.

We can't wait to watch. We've been watching all morning. Always do. You just look so good, we forgot about it. You know what I mean? Kind of get capped. It's like the men in black thing. It's like that men in We forgot about it. You know what I mean? Kind of get captured. It's like the black thing. It's like that men in black taser thing.

That's what you're radiating through the screen. They flash you. Because you're a model now. You know what I mean? Maybe I'm pregnant like AJ was last week. Boom. I don't know if that's possible. I don't think I am.

I don't think I am either, ladies and gentlemen. Daryl Orlovsky. He's glowing, though. Oh, yeah. Still. I donl Orlovsky. He's glowing, though. Still. I don't think I can. He was on this morning, right? Yeah, he was on. We've seen him.

Okay, I was going to say, if he's there right now and he's not on until 4, I'm like, what are you doing? He's also in sports. Exact same time he was on our program right there, I looked every yonder. He was staring at me. Had a jacket on. And on there with the jacket on, thought it was a full button down that was just a polo yeah that was a little deeper polo though smart so it gets to a jacket top

probably you know not a bad play yeah he goes hoodie with uh suit coat as well sometimes he's a model bro yeah he's angry today though for what what's he selling what i think those i think that polo oh the stretchy that's not a polo. That's a short-sleeved button-down, it looks like. Okay. I thought it was a polo. I thought it stopped here. I might be wrong. It did stop.

Yeah, right? Yeah, it was actually a really unique shirt. I've never seen one of those before. But the neck was like a dress shirt. Yeah. Stiff-collared polo. Starchy. Oh, that's what he sells.

Okay. So I think it's supposed to be a button-down look with the jacket. Right. Classic Dan. Because I'm looking over here, button-down. Classic COVID. COVID Zoom shirt. They got created because guys are wearing their boxers and suit tops.

Well, sometimes not even that. Wow, then they get that lotion and then they're not muted. Yep, exactly. And that was a thing that we all lived through. A lot of people. A lot of people in a lot of places. Those were rather ridiculous days. Oh, no.

Oh, no. What's he doing? What's he doing? No. Let's go to the phones. Let's dive into Saquon a little bit here. I don't think it's going well. So, like, the more we hear about it, you know, and they signed Danny Dimes.

And when they signed Danny Dimes, we immediately knew they were going to use the franchise tag on Saquon Barkley because in their minds, you know, oh, Dayball over there, he had the boys running towards the end of the season there. The entire, the offense was flying around. The defense was. They had some massive wins in Minnesota, I do recall. They had a big-time win. Here we go. We bring everybody back. The fans will be happy. Our team will be good. We'll be off.

We've got to get a deal done with either Saquon or Danny Dimes. We're either going to franchise tag Danny Dimes and get a deal done with Saquon, or we're going to get a deal done with Danny Dimes and we're going to franchise tag Saquon. That was kind of our understanding from outside in. We might be wrong, but I believe that is what we covered for like two, three weeks. And we said it and people nobody corrected us outright so we're gonna assume that

is an accurate depiction of how the fuck it was going over there saquon said well wait a second that that's your idea that's not my idea i'm getting 10 million dollars i should be getting 15 maybe 14 16 you put that over a couple years that's a vastly different life than if i'm just making what the franchise tag is and now he was was at his camp and speaking to the media, had a sweet shirt on while giving an interview, and was asked by an ESPN reporter basically about how it's going with the New York Giants and if they're negotiating, and this is what he had to say. I think they're open to talking.

I think I'm open to talking. But I think at the end of the day, we really break it down and look at it as a whole. There's no rush. There's no rush. We still have time. There's still time on the table to get July 17th. July 17th is not tomorrow. It's nine in the week.

We still have time. That's how I look at it. I guess maybe that's the naive way to look at it, and I could be completely wrong. But for me, that's how I look at it. I guess that's the – maybe that's like the naive way to look at it, and I could be completely wrong. But for me, that's how I look at it, and I trust my team. And hopefully I trust in the Giants that we can get something done. Joe was very open. They pulled the offers. Did that surprise you at all?

That going through was possible? Like I said, that's for a whole other time. St. Bon, quick question about the market for running backs. Do you think maybe, you know, in the next collective bargaining or something, that the union and the owners can come together and find a – So we don't have his answer to that, but we do have a follow-up statement he made to Adam Schefter via a notes section app, text we do believe. Schefter says, If that shirt comes with the camp price...

It probably does. Worth it. I'm fucking in. I think he had a shark tooth diamond necklace. Sick necklace. I mean, he looked very, very cool, but that was his first time really speaking about it. His words, Adam Schefter, in a follow-up, as I have previously stated, I'm not looking to set any contract records. I'm not demanding to be the highest paid player

in my position. I understand the current market. My goal is to just be compensated respectfully based on my contributions to the team on the field and in locker room. I've been in talks with the Giants throughout the off season. If at some point there's a deal that is fair to both sides on the table,

I'll be ready to sign it. So here we go. The classic, you put a number on me and I will judge whether or not I think that's respectful or not. And I think that is an interesting way to go into a negotiation. He said July 17th is still

a long way away when they have to get the deal done. That is when the franchise tag thing has to be signed or whatever. So whenever he dives into that date, he's saying deadlines kind of bring come... action. And come compromises. When people compromise things. normally a deadline comes.

So his number right now might be, boom, this is what I need. This is what this person's making. You're telling me I'm not fucking better than this person? No way. But in July 16th, July 15th, is there a chance that an offer is made and it's kind of laid out like, do you want to throw away $30 million for an extra $6 million right now? Do you, 36, do you want to get that? So maybe that's what he's talking about.

Maybe that's what he's alluding to. Seems to be in great shape. I think all Giants fans probably want this over as fast as possible, AJ. Yeah, it doesn't seem to be going great right now, but I think what he's saying is so true. It's June 12th right now. You have until July 17th to figure it out. So why why would they like you said like once the deadline gets closer then that's when it's going to become real but did this did the zeke contract that jerry gave him

did that ruin the running back market for a while because people don't be stuck with giant running back contracts well i'm excited to hear what dan orlovsky has to say here at four o'clock on nfl live uh because he said i don't think that's necessarily true because you look at like christian mccaffrey got paid a lot of money camara still playing alvin kamara got paid a lot of money still playing derrick henry now that offense had to change because aj brown leaves and he just literally packed the box and i think he was injured a little bit i don't remember did they arrest him or was he injured he i remember they arrested him right before the jags last game.

I didn't know if that was because of an injury or not. Yeah, I don't know either. Didn't he break his foot early in the season and then they waited to bring him back because they wanted him to be healthy for the playoff push? Yeah, so whatever the case, I guess people could view that as a negative, but if he's back and healthy, I assume the defensive end that plays running back really good is going to be able to be good. So I don't know if like, I don't know why it has become like a no way we're spending actual capital in

the public thought because it feels like there have been guys that have been paid oh yeah and they played pretty good aj yeah there is i mean i don't know it's got to be like the structure the length of the deal something like that has to be holding it up i would imagine the team obviously wants to protect themselves if he's hurt if all of it if it doesn't really work out a lot of hits right i guess that's the thing yeah they know he's a workhorse man they need him they obviously their offense i mean will run through saquon so he knows that he has leverage because of that but the team also has to think of that like okay how long do we think we can sustain like the production this guy has and keep him healthy that's an interesting convo especially when it's a new gm right and the one that drafted him yeah

and a new operation it's like what an interesting personal you know because he's talking about respectful all i would like to be is compensated respectfully that's an interesting like how on both sides each side has different numbers for respectful offers, I think. Respectfully? Imagine them saying that. Yeah. This is the offer. That's a hilarious thing.

Respectfully, this is why we are viewing it this way. I'll be – that's like DeHop's contract, same thing. How's that going to end up panning out? Yeah, exactly. Especially if what Orlovsky said, like, doesn't really matter what the money is. He's more so looking to win. Chomping chips. I think the last running back was what?

Nick Chubb to get paid and get a contract extension, right? Was that last offseason? And that wasn't a market resetter. It feels like we talk about how the NFL is cyclical. I don't know if it's ever going to come back for the running backs to the point where they are paid more than $15 million a year. That run seems to be over, especially with young guys coming in. And we're getting into a more power football phase, it feels like,

and the running backs are somehow not as highly valued as they were whenever everything was definitely wide open. That's wild. It is. It's very interesting. But I think like the whole RPO, I was trying to play action, but RPO, the whole... What a thing. It's crazy.

But then you start seeing the success, right? Jalen's having. You start seeing the success that other people are having. And what do you need? Well, we just need really fresh running backs, actually. Like, really fresh, really fast running backs are perfect for us because it can clear shit out. We need people to clear out. We're looking for more space so we can

operate quicker. So it's like the run game is coming back, being very important, leverage and blocking and angles. But it feels like having one guy just carry the load is something that is kind of dispersing. So now you get so many options as opposed to just a couple. And that's why I feel like the convo is about how they're not going to get paid ever.

And it's like Saquon might end up pretty disappointed in this entire thing just strictly because of the way the market is. And the only way they are going to pay those guys, like a McCaffrey, is if those guys are also going to catch 100 balls. Or throw a touchdown. Yeah, or throw a touchdown. And there just aren't, you know, like now I guess we're seeing it more with guys in college. But the guys who are in the league right now, like there aren't that many guys who can you know be third down backs like be on the field the whole time and then also we'll

catch 80 to 100 passes as well here's the contracts listed out i believe this is probably from spotrack christian mccaffrey 64 million in total value total guaranteed 36 million dollars kamara 75 million dollar contract total guarantee, $34 million. A lot of incentives in that thing. Derrick Henry, $50 million total guaranteed, $25.5 million. 36 for Chubb. Joe Mixon, obviously, at $48 million. They're thinking that one's going to be

over, though. Aaron Jones, $23 million. Okay, now it starts going down. And that's only two years. And Aaron... Aaron Jones took a Down, down. And then around. And Jones took a cut, too, and he does it all. He catches a bunch of balls out of the back. Saquon was that offense until last year.

Like, they ran the ball. They were top five in everything. It's not – last year, for sure, they had no weapons. Like, Isaiah Hodgins came on late and, like, was a great story and stuff like that. And now they have Waller. But they still don't have, like, a guy on the outside. And Saquon caught the ball. Saquon

ran the ball. He was unbelievable. Saquon and Waller with that day ball offense, I think can be very successful. Now, can Saquon stay on the field is what everybody's worried about, the running back position. A lot of hits, but damn. Superstar over there.

That did not sound as positive of a response as I was hoping, and I assume Giants people were hoping. A lot of time, though. They can get it done still. It's all leverage. All leverage. You can see why he's pissed, too, because to Tony's point,

because he was so effective and so good last year, that made Daniel Jones not have to do as much, and he had the best season of his career, and then he gets broken off and gets paid a bunch, and Saquon's probably like, yeah, I'm the reason you fucking played as well as you did last year. Because if you were doing what you did two years ago, where he's

fumbling a bunch and throwing picks, that was when Saquon was hurt. They had to pick one, too. That was very popular. One person has to get a contract. One person has to get a lot less money than they're thinking they're getting. The tough thing with those guys. The 11th hour. Damn.

Saquon thought he was probably getting a deal there. I think he probably did. Yeah. What did they say about pulling offers? What did the reporter ask them? So I would assume the pulling offers thing, when Danny Dimes gets his deal done, right? Change it.

Hey, you're a franchise tag now. So whatever we had on the table is gone. Yeah, I don't know. That would make sense sense i have not heard that until that person said that either had not done enough research but that seemingly would be yeah it makes sense what would make sense and why he would maybe be so oh come on come on come on he's not the only one too like did you see how low eckler was and does anybody did anybody have more touchdowns than Austin Eckler last year

in the running back position? It is bananas that Eckler was fighting for like an extension. Yeah. Fighting for a contract. And then he said, how about this, $1.5 million more. $1 million. How about it? You got to earn it, though.

And it was like, and everybody was like, yep, that's the running back market or whatever. It's like, that guy's just a touchdown. What's a touchdown score market? Yes. What is that? Isn't that a different market? Or are we just going strictly by positional base?

Because situations are situational. And a situation, whenever the ball is in Austin Echo's hand, is a touchdown situation. Always. Always. He's so good. Always. He's 28, too.

What's that? He's only 28 years old. I assumed he was a little bit older just because it seems like he's been scoring touchdowns the last 10 years. That's another problem in the running back market. Dalvin Cook, 27 or 28. Everybody says the guy's old. Yeah, they say that's like 35 for running backs.

This guy might as well just go to the Hall of Fame. Put him in a museum. He's done. Geez. Huge race. Big race, obviously with the AQI. We on. Huge. Huge race. Okay, big race, obviously with the AQI. Right. We didn't know if this race was going to take place, especially in the Northeast with the way the smog was coming from Canada. Yep.

Bad. Out of fires that were burning brighter and bigger than they had for like four years combined. Just taking over. Hope everybody's okay. Obviously not everybody's going to be okay in that situation. Very, very sad situation. It took place up there. Small, captivated United States of America. A large portion of

it for a while. New York, New Jersey, all sports and everything basically being halted. The Belmont being over there. How would it handle it? The Belmont had a racist weekend. They had a racist weekend. We can report to? Two horses, unfortunately, are being shipped to the glue factory. Rest in peace.

Thank you for your service. You lived a great life. You are absolute dogs out there, whether you won or not. Rapaport, his horse Parmac won on Sunday. And on Saturday, what's that, pal? I didn't know his horse actually won a race. Yeah, won. Par-Nac.

Yeah, not Jace. Par- Par-Mac. Par-Nac. Okay. Par-Mac. Nac, I think. Like, Car-Nac-y.

Yeah. How do you know two horses got killed? Par-Nac. The internet. Par-Nac. Par-Nac. Like, Paddywhack. Can you spell it?

P-A-R-N-A-C? Yeah. yeah hmm i don't know what i thought parmac man i don't know what parnac means i mean what's it spelled how is it spelled backwards anything cool or no c-a-n-r-a-p can rap can rap there it is there it is there it is we figured it out thank you good call thank you for getting us out there you know you brought us shovel. We started digging together. We found that because of you. Thank you, Connor. It makes sense. His horse won Parnak Can Rap on Sunday, but the big race there, the horse that won wasn't the horse

that people thought was going to win. Not at all. The horse that won was going to have to be the horse that had its heart broken. Kentucky Derby morning. Do we even have to talk about it? I don't want to have to bring this up again. Saw a couple reports on the internet from horse people saying

that Forte's heart was broken the morning of Kentucky Derby. Went and found out it wasn't going to race in a Kentucky Derby because of a bruised hoof. Heartbroken. Imagine if that was you. Well, it's going to be tough because I'm a human and that's a fucking horse.

That's right. But I do agree that the horse has a big brain. Okay, I believe the horse. But that led me to do some research on Ol Forte. Good horse. Great horse. Supposed to win that entire thing. And instead, Paisana finishes that thing with a big time dub first female trainer

in the history of the belmont to win a race uh gina or jenna jenna jenna jenna antucci antinucci antinucci jenna antinucci dry or training arc angelo correct couple paizanas getting some big-time wins over there in the Belmont. What a good horse. Great horse. Unbelievable. Watching it live, they had Jenna Antonucci's face on the TV.

Her reaction and pure emotion and celebration and excitement oozed through the TV to me in my living room. And then I watched her get all the way down to the track, and whenever she runs right to the horse, Arcangelo, slap big brush i'm proud of you and i'm like god damn i heard earlier that forte's heart was broken yeah kentucky derby now i'm learning that arcangelo can hear from somebody that they're proud of them yeah these horses are these the smartest things why are we killing these things with how smart these goddamn horses are? They can rehab whatever injury.

They're literally humans in the shape of a creature that is faster and stronger than everything. We need to respect these goddamn horses a little bit. You're right, we do. Well, and we don't know if it's injuries that's killing them. It could be the AQI, you know, the smoke coming into the stables when they're sitting there. We still don't know for sure whether or not that's the reason.

Well, the good news is we have a horse expert, Bruce Brown, back there. Bruce, what is going on with the horses? There were two broken legs, front left leg injuries to both horses. One on Saturday in the 13th race and one on Sunday. We killed them right away. I saw an elephant with a prosthetic leg this weekend. Boom. So proud.

Really? Elephants lay down for long periods of time and tolerate it. Horses don't do that. Also, too, you got to keep in mind. I've seen a horse lay down. Could you sedate him for three weeks? I think horses down is a bad thing. Yeah.

But I saw a picture of a girl sleeping with a horse in the hay one time. You're right. What happened, Diggs? You get rocked up? What happened? Whoa I knew I was going to say that on this program We're trying to have a fucking real horse conversation

You guys are taking this to Tijuana What is your guys' problem? What is your problem? From what you two just said About you know heartbroken and knowing that they're proud I'm not so sure these horses are like Hey fucking kill me if I break my leg Because I only race that's all I want not so sure these horses are like, hey, fucking kill me if I break my leg because I only race. That's all I want to do. So these horses

are so impressive. I enjoy watching them run and whenever they go get a dub, I'm so happy for them. I want to know if they're happy with all this talk about heartbreaking this horse. They definitely know. They definitely know when they win a big race. Yeah, for sure. You think so? No, not at all.

What? They're horses horses they're majestic creatures they're beautiful but we're just we're throwing humans on them and riding around a circle i don't think they understand the magnitude of what they've just done they have to they know they know when there's a giant crowd at the racetrack versus uh yeah they get all spooked and they get scared they do get skittish i didn't understand they fuck a lot after, right? I don't know if they know that that's a potential benefit of winning this game. But I have heard, well, not all of them, but the ones that win do, but I have heard that

some horses are very much like, nah, fuck that horse. That's why they're good closers at the end, because they don't want a horse to outrun them, pretty much. So I guess they do have competitive, right? They have job. So in the wild wild they will run to the front of the herd and then basically chill so that's why you see a lot of horses get on the lead

and then get run down because once they get the lead they kind of lose that that incentive to go forward so basically like these horses like they understand the magnitude of the races but personally like basically i think all they care about is like eating a couple baby carrots or maybe an apple after the race is over and everything else doesn't really matter. I thought that's what you were trying to get to. I thought that's what you were trying to get to there, Bruce. Because that's a win, right? We have a never-ending carrot supply?

That's a win. Sugar cubes for Dave. That is the Lombardi. Why don't they put the little deal like they do the Greyhound dogs in? If they want to get out front give them something to taste Hey those greyhounds I think they're really good dogs too Nobody ever gets to experience them I walked in one

Paws were up on top We've almost adopted like old racing We thought about doing that a while ago Adopting the greyhounds that they put out to pasture Yeah you think what they do to the horses is bad What are we talking about? And you said, fuck it now. But they can't race anymore.

They don't kill them. They want to adopt them out when they don't race. Oh, okay. So they're real tall, though. Yeah, you got to buy them a parka, too. Yeah, because they're used to it with a little jacket on. Yeah, they need the body heat. Yeah, need a little jacket on.

Can they lay down? Dogs? Dogs. What, are you just trying to poke some holes in the horse thing yeah i know horses can lay down as you just google it is that what you're looking at over there now can they lay down for a long period of time no what did google say yeah what did it say to you when you found out it says that they can lay down it's perfectly normal for the lady them to lay down but if they laid lay down for too long then it restricts blood flow and stuff like that but they can lay down yeah i

mean i guess they could stumble every once in a while and be on the ground you know they do that cool thing when like if you can't hop on the horse the horse like lays down and then you can sit on it real quick and then it just takes a squat yeah you ever see what they do with someone who's fucking exactly yeah they have them like prancing these horses around three i think lay down for three hours and that's fine. And these horses can run sideways. Tennessee Walker, is that what they call one of those breeds? Yeah, a little. They can do that?

In Yellowstone, they do it, and they do the thing where they stop and slide a lot. Those are sweet. Oh, so sweet. Yeah. They can't rehab a broken fucking leg? Come on. This is bullshit. I don't know why big horses do it.

Probably because of Connor's reasoning. I don't think it'd go well. You put a cast on a horse's giant leg, you don't think the thing's going to sit down for six to eight weeks and let it recover? I just don't know. Don't horses recover faster? Whoa, we're nursing one.

Well, because that guy was banging his life away. He probably won a couple races. They needed to see him. You didn't see this elephant. You didn't see this elephant, AJ. Anyways, let's talk about some sports. Let's go to the... You're right, Diggs.

What's that? You said the elephant had a fake leg, a prosthetic. The horse racing, what I'm learning, like the fox one, there was no sand. Oh, yeah. A lot of hooves pounded it. Shout out to this elephant getting an artificial leg.

Yeah, they made fun of Dumbo. You know what they're going to do to that thing? Elephants very, very, very smart. Yeah, they remember everything. Super duper smart. It's not a video. It's a picture. So we don't know for sure it can walk.

Definitely. What are you talking about? It's an elephant with a fake leg. It can walk wherever the hell it wants. They got big brains. What do you think they're doing? You think that they're going to put that thing on there and an elephant isn't going to take advantage of it?

You think his other three legs are like, fucking thank God. It's about time. You know how heavy this thing is? Yeah, right. This elephant's probably jumping up and down. Oh, yeah. Right now. Oof.

What? You don't think so? Probably walks better than you lumbering around, Hawk. Yeah. Probably does. But, I mean, cats can get a leg removed and still act like nothing even happened. So I have a three-legged cat named Scootsie. Her name's Scootsie because it does appear as if she scoots around.

But when she starts running, look out. That thing's like a little mermaid flying around in the back. She's cutting corners, too. You know those motorcycles that came out a couple years ago, two in the front, one in the back? They were super famous. You know how those are easy to, you ever get on one of those, you can really, you can do some real donuts on that thing. You know, because a lot of power to the back wheel, front wheel, you can kind of break up. You can kind of feather that thing.

You can really get that thing spinning. Scootsy the cat, same thing. I mean, we're talking great donuts. You're telling me that you think the elephant should be able to handle having three legs like my cat Scootsy that is this big? Maybe, yeah. Maybe. Or a horse.

Maybe a horse could have three legs and be okay and still run pretty fast. Why are they just killing the horse? Somebody's got to tell us that. Somebody's got to break that down for us. Could they do it in a more humane way than just slicing their head off with a samurai sword when they break a leg? I don't think that's what they do.

They don't do that. They don't do any of that. They don't shoot them. They don't send them to the glue factory. Shotgun blast to the forehead or they slice their head off with a samurai sword. Right between the eyes. Maybe back in the day. Some tracks they can't use guns.

I heard they have to use like one object. Publicly. What are you? Let's take care of these horses. What I've heard. These are rumors. Like a dull butcher's knife. There was no commentary on this race, though.

I was flustered. Wait, what do you mean? There was just no commentary. Pony's running. I think they were talking at a rate, but I could barely hear them. I didn't know if it was people talking near the camera that was getting the shot. This is the Fox thing? I know Fox's coverage had all kinds of questions, didn't they?

Yeah, there was a lot of mics just dropping out whenever they were out by the stalls and whenever there were some other places. In the infield, I think mics were dropping out for a bit. Carissa, right, Carissa? She was working, and I think it was Carissa. She asked, I bet it was Carissa. She had, she asked, I bet it was a great question.

I bet it was a great question. We didn't hear the first 15 seconds of it. Saw the question being asked. Could not hear a single word of it. Then they turn it on at the end, and I don't know if somebody told her, but she redid the entire question pretty much and then asked the question i was like ah pretty pretty fucking impressive work right there of it

all but then it dropped out again it's like oh the sound sucks then the race starts can't hear anybody speak it's like what the fuck's going on with the microphones at fox aj is everything okay i don't know i didn't i don't know how i just completely missed this whole race i didn't see any of them mile and a half i think it's long track i just saw the highlights later but man yeah i saw it was cool to see the owner late she was juice yeah jenna antonucci she was jacked up dude first time in 155 years imagine imagine all the shit that she has gone through oh yeah in that profession seemingly the amount of losses oh my now she's now she's certified now she's like all right we go. That dude has a sweet jacket on, too. Stole the show. Sweet jacket on.

Is that the host of? Which one? What? The dude. Which game? The host of the, what's that show where the, got one guy cheated on the girl and everyone's pissed at him? Cheater? Viner Pump, thank you.

Is that Sandoval? Is that what you're saying? No, I don't think so. What are we talking about? Who are we talking about? Which character from that show, Diggs? The host. Andy Cohen. Thank you.

Oh. Andy Cohen's Jack, by the way. I'm not saying this guy isn't. It doesn't look remotely close to Andy Cohen. No, not at all. Kind of like Rascal Flatts got a little bit. Yeah. Rascal or Flatts?

Well, Flatts. All right, Jordan Estano doesn't look No, not at all. Kind of like Rascal Flats guy a little bit. Yeah. Rascal or Flats? Well, Flats. Yeah. Alright, Jordan Estano doesn't look like this guy at all. Main difference is the hair. Yep. That's it. Well. But that guy in that sweet jacket doesn't know the things that this guy does. This guy's the greatest internet splunker in the

history of splunking the internet. In a time in which you have to be able to find things quickly and efficiently, this man finds things quicker and more efficiently than anybody else that's right an absolute dog man at once painted ships in the cold cold harbors of western fucking canada and he called into a program it was electrifying oh yeah thought his first name was another name for pooping that was not the accurate answer the first name was another name for pooping. That was not the accurate answer. The name was actually a name because this guy used to be able to run like a John

Deere. That's right. Former soccer player. Now, the greatest soccer handicapper on planet Earth. Ladies and gentlemen, one half of the Hammer Cowboys Gumpy. Yay!

Gumpy! Good to see you, pal. What a weekend Cowboys. Gumpy. Yay, Gumpy! Boys! Good to see you, pal. What a weekend for soccer. Seems like we're coming up on, like, trophy every weekend. This actually matters tournament and soccer time. The first one was the Champions League final this past weekend. Inter and Man City.

What a game, huh, Pep? In a cagey affair, Pep adds another notch under his belt. Is this guy the greatest coach of all time? And what the champions league like this year because obviously we saw none of it until the championship inter actually really impressed me they put up a pretty good fight i thought almost tied it late if lukaku didn't have bricks for feet oh look that's right it's always in the right place but uh yeah i mean pep is the goat now. This is absurd. Man City just couldn't win the Champions League. They won the league, FA Cup, Carborough Cup, everything, everything, every year. But everything changed this year when they got Haaland.

22 years old, Premier League Player of the Year, Premier League top goal scorer, Premier League winner, won it all at 22. And now the real question is ballon d'or will it be messy for the world cup or holland for what he did for man city this year oh what do you think they're going to lean because messy went to the mls which is obviously a superior product they're probably going to stay with holland do you think i think it'll be messy just because messy couldn't do it on the international stage for so long such Such an epic moment, too. The World

Cup for him is unbelievable. Now he's part owner of Apple, Adidas, and Inter-Miami. They're putting the old firm back together at Inter-Miami, though. Rumors of Suarez, Busquets, all the old Barcelona boys might be coming in hot.

Luis Suarez? Oh, yeah. He's a biter, right? He is a biter. Oh, yeah. He'll put the ball in the back of the net. Yeah, he absolutely will. Pep, and I know AJ has a question and so do the boys,

so I'll let them get in here in a second. Pep coached the United States national team. How does that work? Do coaches of club teams coach national teams, or do they have to give up their club coaching titles to coach national teams? And who is the person that's probably going to coach the United States of America to the soccer Lombardi championship

being held on our turf coming up in whatever year it's coming up? They do have to give it up. Ancelotti right now coaches for Real Madrid. Brazil's like holding out hope that he can get them. So youotti right now coaches for Real Madrid. Brazil's holding out hope that he can get him. So you either coach domestic or you coach international. The United States coach thing is wild to me. Miola touches

on it every week. There's no rumors of anybody out there to come in. The only guy is Marsh, who coached at Leeds United. That's it. That's all we've heard. Bull. Just get Miola. is Marsh who coached at Leeds United. That's it. That's all we've heard. And there was rumblings of Thierry Henry.

But he's unbelievable. He's unbelievable on TV though. I don't know if he'd give that up. Yeah, I watched him this weekend on the coverage. I do believe he looked very, very cool. Number 14 used to score goals all the time. I wore number 14. Used to score goals not to score goals all the time. I'm with number 14. He used to score goals not as much as all the time,

but a pretty good amount of time. Always been a big fan the way he goes about it. He wants to coach the team, right? Didn't that come out and been said? He coached at Monaco for a bit in league. That was it, but it has been rumored. Did you see the interaction between Jackie and Thierry in the postgame? No.

So Jackie played his whole career since like a kid Aston Villa right goes to Man City big money move 100 million pounds his first year bad bad bad oh no goes to World Cup plays well for England comes back from World Cup plays unbelievable the rest of this year. So Henri actually said, I got to apologize to you. I doubted you. Like, I didn't think you were who you are. And now Jack, he's been up for about three days. Hell yeah, having a great time

wearing his actual kit out and about while singing things. What a legend. Go ahead, AJ. Coop, what's going on with the whole Saudi situation? I know Methi turned down a bunch of money, billions of dollars, it might be other guys have taken big time contracts what are they doing is their team going to be good are they good how's it work there's the last one that got signed was conte he's 32 like defensive midfielder played for

chelsea he got a hundred million a year aj so like if anybody wants to go to Saudi, it's just the money's there. It depends if you want to do it. Like, Messi just said he didn't want to take his family. Sorry to cut you off, but is that a hard time? Are they getting a hard time from other people like golfers would when they go to live? No, not at all. Once Ronaldo went, like, no one said anything about Ronaldo. They're not going to say anything about anybody else.

Messi turning down a billion dollars is, wow. 1.6. Yeah, they said it was 1.6 potentially. Dude, jeez. But yeah, they can pretty much. The thing that sucks about it, and you guys have touched on it, we could have had Messi, Benzema, Cristiano. All those lads could be in the MLS right now if it wasn't for the Saudi League

come on really like that's the one thing that really sucks about it like you could add Cristiano somewhere Messi somewhere

like that could have carried on in the MLS Portland Timbers Vancouver like Columbus Crew older players Seattle Sounders

Pittsburgh Riverhounds Revolution beat them the Rams the Rams are a good squad this year they're not here okay welcome to Hantan Seattle Sounders. Pittsburgh Riverhounds. They're going to Revolution. Beat them. The Raptors. The Raptors are a good squad this year. They're not here. Sorry, the Riverhounds. Okay, welcome to Hontide.

They're not in the MLF because they know what it takes. Last question from me and then the boys, obviously. What's next? We have a tournament this weekend that's bigger than, obviously, what Champions League was? We're cooked. We're done? Oh, no.

We're cooked. We got MLS only, my friend. No, no, no. I thought we were getting into the season. This is your guys' season. This is soccer season when we just. Oh, my apologies, actually. I'm completely wrong.

The CONCACAF Nations League is this week. CONCACAF! So it's. There's US plays Mexico. When? Canada plays Panama, I think Thursday, Friday, and the finals on Sunday. All in Vegas. Okay, so we got the concava.

This is the premier title in soccer. If you're playing soccer, you want to win the concava. The concava is ours. We win it. It's our tournament. And those cards over on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean won't do pink slips

for the Europes. Give us the pink slips for the Europes. Give the Concava champion and the Europes champion a chance to battle it out for who is the actual champion and offer up the trophy. That's offer up the trophies.

And then give us Man City, and we want to take on the Champions League. Boom. We would like Inter-Miami with the guy that bites people from back in the day, and Methi, and everybody else. All the boys. We would like Grealish to not sleep, though.

We would like him still. He's tarps off on a bus right now. This kid's fucking living, dude. How old is he? How old is he? Him rinsing his rims, rinsing his lat on his IT. We're Man City, and we're on the piss again. Hey, how old is he?

He's young. I think he's 24, 25. Let's go, pal. He's Jamie Tartt. He took it on the shins, man. I'm super happy for him. Aston Villa fans were like, you're a turncoat, this and that. It's like, man.

That happened to Jamie Tartt. Jamie Tartt. Jamie Tartt. Who's fucking Keeley? We don't know. We don't know. No spoilers. We'll never know.

Ty has a question for you, Gumpy. Gumpy, how pissed is the MLS going to be when Methy and Inter-Miami don't win the MLS Cup and it's Seattle Sounders versus Toronto FC in the final? Is there a chance that's going to happen, or is Inter-Miami just going to beat the fucking piss out of everybody? I think this year you'll see Inter-Miami, they are like dead last in the Eastern Conference right now, I believe.

This year will probably be like Messi comes. They kind of see what they can do. And then I think next year will be the year where they like kind of take over as they should if they get all the players they're talking about. But right now, they are a bad club. I don't even think they have a coach right now. They're dead last at least. They just fired Phil Neville.

Yeah, they're at the bottom. Oh my God, they're worse than Chicago. Rebuilding, you're rebuilding. Yeah, that's what they're saying too. An actual rebuilding. The way they built, they brought in Messi. Cincinnati. Cincinnati, the only team who could knock off the Riverhounds.

They're unbelievable. They're a good team. Wow. They are. Yeah, Montreal got a squad. You know, they used to at least. They got rid of Michael... Bradley?

Yeah. What are they playing up there? Michael Bradley's Toronto. Toronto. Toronto's got Insigne from Italy. He's sick. Yeah. St. Louis.

Insigne. St. Louis has got some dogs, too. Where the hell's Toronto? Obviously, fucking Sounders, top of the table. Dude, the Galaxy all the way down there at the bottom. Yeah, Wenzel Trash. Chicharito just tore his ACL. Galaxy are in a bad spot.

Chicharito. Tony Miola on the call last night. Unbelievable, though. How'd he do? Did he do good? Oh, yeah. He was on the ball. Always last night. Unbelievable, though. How did he do? Did he do good? Oh, yeah. He was on the ball. Always is.

Come on, Tony. Of course. There you go, Tony. Tony has a question for you, Tony. Yeah, if Inter-Miami's getting all the lads back together, does that mean PK's coming over from Barcelona? Or does Shakira and the Jam, does that jam up the situation of him coming to Miami?

Oh, no. That's the one name I haven't seen of all the old Barca boys. That's the one I haven't seen rumored to come. Yeah, he's busy. He's too much job. Yeah, he's busy slinging it. Yeah, what's going on there? Shakira said somebody touched my job.

Did we get that story accurate? Yeah, unfortunately, that was 100% right. Hey, that really rocked the soccer world. Now she's dating. Dude, they were like, if you watch the Netflix thing on Barcelona, her and her kids celebrating when they won the Champions League and shit. Like, man, that was cold, dude. Yeah, just the job situation.

Exactly. When the job dropped, that's when everybody knew. Exactly. Imagine how Shakira felt. Oh, my God when everybody knew. Exactly. Imagine how Shakira felt. Oh, my God. She knew. Excuse me. That's my jam.

You've never touched this jam. You've never had jam ever. What type of jam is this? Imagine him being like, yeah, but like. What if he's actually allergic to the jam? He could be. Like, if he was to eat that, he would die. No chance he even tried the jam, you know?

Yep. Just so matter-of-fact in this thing. Who ate the jump? Then she checks the security cameras. Boom. He's done. He's dead. And then Tom Cruise is out there trying his best. Yeah, he's swinging a miss unfortunately.

Louis Hamilton's in front race right now. He's out of the game. Tom Cruise, I watched him do something that was pretty human-like the other day. He was walking down the street or something like that. But then I didn't know if it was the guy that looks like him or actually Tom Cruise. Probably not. Tom Cruise is just waiting for the next Mission Impossible to come out, and that's when he strikes again with Shakira.

When is Mission Impossible dropping? That one where he jumped off the cliff? It comes out July 16th, I think. About a month out. Damn. They've been really marketing that thing, huh? Oh, yeah. You think Tom Cruise dies in this and this is all

just a fake Tom Cruise that we're seeing right now? No. When Tom Cruise dies, I will mourn for a long, long time. You're not the only one, pal. Connor has a question for you, Gumpy. Part one. We got part two coming, too, for Tom Cruise's Dead Reckoning. Or Fallout, whatever the fuck it is. Gumpy, we talked about Team...

Sweet. Team U.S. That's out December 7th. New Avatar. New Avatar coming December 7th. Got to finish the last one. Kind of a spoiler with the name. Okay. You know, haven't finished the last one, pal.

I guess everything's good on the planet. Well, not really. Well, I mean, we're on the frontiers of it. Yeah. Yeah. Avatar Frontiers of Pandora releases December 7th. No big deal. Two Avatars, two two years everybody can suck it

thank you Jimmy I haven't finished the first one it was long but I'll get there I'll get there go ahead Connor yeah Gump what is Polithic up to right now is he you know a free agent do the people in England still hate him because he's better than all their players

at their own game and then what's Gio Reyna up to these days are they even talking or as team usa is a soccer club just kind of in a bad spot oh uh pulisic is on ac milan's radar uh 20 million is the asking price but chelsea bought so many players in the transfer window that uh they can't really be asking for much. They have too many players on their squad. So he could go for like 10 to 15. But the only teams I've seen interested in him are in the Serie A. And then what was the second question?

Team USA. Oh, Gio Reyna is on the roster for the CONCACAF Nations League. So it seems like that. There was an interview with Pulisic where he said he liked Berhalter, though, so I don't know. Maybe those lads don't get along. I'm not sure what's going on. You're talking about the lads Pulisic and Reyna?

Yeah, because Reyna's beloved at Bundesliga, or at Dortmund. He always scores for them, but Pulisic puts an interview out saying he backs Berhalter, so I don't know what's going on. And Berhalter didn't play, Reina? Is that the guy?

That was when Gio got involved. Oh yeah, there was a fool. That was a leg. And now we don't have a coach. We don't. And Mio is just sitting in the wings waiting. In a suit and tie calling the Portland Timbers.

What the guy coached. You'll never know, though. Like, Klinsman came out of nowhere to coach them. It didn't work out, but you know what I mean? I don't need that. There's a lot of international coaches who could take the job. Juergen was like, hey, your second uncle was American, right? Yeah.

Need you to get a passport. You're a citizen. You're an American. But that year at the World Cup, they took Portugal with Ronaldo. That went to extra time. Remember Tim Howard stood on his head? Well, that's another problem. We don't have Tim Howard.

We don't. You think any of this shit's going on if Tim Howard's on the team? No way. You think Reina's not playing if Tim Howard's on? No way. If Neal is the coach, though. Might be a thought there. Make the call.

Tim Howard to coach. Yeah, I don't hate that. Not a bad idea. He's good on TV as well. And he looks super cool all the time. Tim Howard to coach. Yeah, I don't hate that. Not a bad idea. He's good on TV as well. He looks super cool all the time. He does. Does he have enough time to coach with how cool he looks? I'm not sure.

Nobody looks cool. How about Tworman? Taylor? Yeah. Sure. Throw him in the mix. He's not at ESPN. Where is he at now?

I haven't seen him. He's available. I think I've seen him doing an interview with somebody. He's just with Apple now, right? With Apple and their MLS coverage. Which they gave some to Messi, some Apple, right? I guess Apple could compete against Saudi Arabia. So we're talking about these deals.

Apple has a shit ton of fucking money. Oh, yeah. So if Apple really wants the MLS to work, which would be a huge investment, instead of losing out on Benzema and everything, you could, I guess, sweeten the pot a little bit like they did for Lionel Messi to kind of make that a little bit more appetizing, I do believe. If you're going to turn down $1.6 billion, we will also give you some of this

from Apple. We'll give you some of this from Adidas. We'll give you some of this from the league. We'll give you some of this from the team. I mean, then you're – Could be more. It could be more at the end of the day. You know what I mean?

You never know 10 years from now, 20 years from now, what that deal looks like because Beckham, whenever he came over, he got a franchise for $25 million or something. That was in the deal. And then now it's worth like $600 million. It's like that's a pretty good little negotiating bargain. Future and hopefully MLS, unlike Dippin' Dots, is the league of the future, especially with the concave for going on. We appreciate the hell out of you, Gump.

How many are you going to put top bins in that 7b7 journey bro i'm pretty pumped about that gum dude i was fucking jacked up about that dude i'm pretty 65 yard field okay so not that long those nets too man those nets are gettable i mean those are oh yeah they're big enough where there's enough space. You know, goalies, there's still some good goalies out there playing or whatever, but there's enough movement that you could possibly have.

I was watching that thing play. It was Newtown. They ended up going on to be the champs and they were taking on, I forget the other team, but I was watching them like, what the fuck is this?

And it was for a million bucks. And I was looking at some of the guys that were over there. It's like, oh, I used to play soccer against some of these guys. Like these, this is like oh I used to play soccer against some of these guys like these this like looks like uh like an alumni game almost high level they're playing good soccer you know obviously good players were playing in it but it felt like it was like an alumni game almost and I started looking into it it's the same as the

basketball tournament which is an alumni tournament for basketball around March Madness Best Virginia West Virginia the guys that I kind of watched whenever I was in school that played basketball, they are the team that plays in a basketball tournament trying to win a million bucks every year. It seemed awesome. Then I saw it for soccer, and I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. This looks like a good tourney.

I think I can get in there. And now it's like my cardio. Do I want to work on cardio as much as it would be needed? But they have fluid substitutions pretty much. And 77, 20 minutes, you'll be all right. Dude, that is gettable. I just need one clip of me fucking. Oh, yeah.

I'd love to see it. Just one. It's forever. One of them. It's like, all right, I will. You guys do what you got to do. This is fun. They're playing some real talent out there,

the ex-national team players, obviously. Oh, yeah, it's good to watch. I only saw the highlights on NBC Soccer Twitter.National team. Oh, yeah. It's good to watch. I only saw the highlights on, like, NBC Soccer Twitter. I never really saw a full match. It was good. Dudes played for a million bucks. Lando Donovan playing. They started taking players off the field.

So it was, like, six on six, five on five if it was tied. Oh, that's kind of cool. Yeah. So they, like, opened it up towards the end there. Yeah. It was really awesome. Yeah. It was pretty good regular season, though, not in playoffs, right?

Yeah. What are they, four on four in regular season? Three on three. Three on three, yeah. That's awesome. Five on five. We should think about instituting that so we don't have maybe seven things. That'd be cool.

But also, play real hockey. Play the game the way it's supposed to. If you're going to win, Lordo, you're going to do what you're going to do. Exactly. Yeah, I think I'm going to try to get in that, though, Gump. I think I'm going to try to get in that next year. Hell yeah. These knees aren't going to hold up. That goal's going to have to be in the first game. Yeah, I think I'm going to try to get in that, though, Gump. I think I'm going to try to get in that next year. Hell yeah. These knees aren't going to hold up.

That goal's going to have to be in the first game. Yeah. That's the problem. That goal's going to have to be in the first game. We shall see. Ladies and gentlemen, Gumpy. Yay! There you go, baby.

Okay. That was fun to learn about this weekend. A lot of watching the TV while you're hanging out with the baby. Oh, yeah. A lot of that. Been watching a lot of television. What did you watch this weekend, AJ? Did you have anything sweet happen?

Man, that's a good question. Not a whole lot that I can think of. Nothing really comes across that I saw. To stay in the soccer vein, I watched Ted Lasso. Finished that one off. There we go. I've seen a few more episodes. We've seen the first couple of the last season.

Now I'm up to like episode four or five now. I think you can skip probably like six to ten, six to nine maybe. How many are there? Twelve episodes. Oh, okay, really? Started nine, you know, playing nine. Then ten played. I'm like, oh, that's the finale.

All right, hey, way to go, whatever. And then it starts up next, season three, episode 11. It's like, oh, shit, must be this one. You know, instead of just going all the way out and checking, just like how many episodes are left, like, let's ruin it. Watch episode 11 as if it's the finale. And then all of a sudden, nah, nah. Last one.

I want to see one more. 12 fucking episodes. It was good. And they're like an hour long each of them. Yeah, those last ones. They're long. Is that it or not? Are they done or no? Yeah, they're done, I believe. The way it was set up sure seems like it's probably done. Yeah, they could take it somewhere else if they want to, but I don't think they should. I don't think they should.

I don't think so either. No. It has to be quite a change. Yeah, exactly. No spoilers, but great way to get off a plane. Yeah. Great way. You know what I mean?

Great way. In the name of love, too. That's right. In the name of love. Creative. Very creative towards the end of that whole thing. Good to know. Let's have some phone calls now.

Let's go. Cesar in Houston. What's going on, Cesar, on the 5RNG phone line? Hey, how are you doing, Pat? Keeping moving, Cesar. Great name. Shout out to you. Nope.

Thank you. Thank you. I've got a couple questions. Nailed it. You know, what's your thoughts on how the Texans offseason will end? Great. I think great. Don't you think so?

Are you a Houston Texans fan? I think you should be happy. Both people that were rumored to go to Houston at the number two pick overall ended up being there. So I think you're in a great spot, don't you? Hell yeah. You know, I'm happy. This is the most happy I've been to be a Texans fan in a long time.

Hell yeah, Cesar and J.J. Watts going in the ring of honor down there. Congratulations. That was announced. Obviously very deserving. Happening this quick is sweet. Him getting back there, getting the accolades is great. It does feel like Houston Texans are maybe on a little bit of an upswing. New coach, new energy, new vibe.

They're in the AFC South that people think is gettable, even though the Colts are stacked. Jacksonville Jaguars stacked. Tennessee Titans are shopping and trying to get Hopkins in there. They're a potentially good squad. I think Houston on the up and up, don't you? I mean, yeah. Compared to what they have been the last

few years and the national attention they've gotten, you think about now, everyone seems to love bringing in D'Amico to be the head coach, and their drafts seem to go very well well let's see if they can produce on the field it might not be immediate but they definitely look like they're getting better yeah I think um I think if I was a Texans fan I'd be happy yeah for sure a lot of excitement JJ's coming back yeah much happier this offseason than you were last season coming into it what's up what's it did no Easterby though yeah no Easterby no Brandon Chris where is. No Brandon Cook. Where is he?

No Coach Dave. Oh. That's what everybody's saying. Yeah. They didn't know if they were going to be able to go. No Coach Dave. That guy didn't really get a good opportunity. No Josh McCown.

I thought he was the guy. I mean, that guy, Coach Dave, I mean, he was going through it, wasn't he? I mean, we're talking like tough times. They were playing hardball, too. Hammer in his tongue. No opportunity. No. At all to succeed. Coach Lovey's gone. They're screwed. They were playing hardball, too. No opportunity at all to succeed.

Coach Lovey's gone. They're screwed. They actually told him, right, Josh McCown is going to be the head coach? Yeah. Yes, while he's there. He was a lame duck. Yeah, and he knew it.

First time getting a head coaching gig. Yeah, he got no shot. Signed you at four years or whatever. This is a one-year thing. Just need you. We both know. Next couple years are going to suck for us. So you'll be here,

and then Lovey will be here, and then Jack Eastby will go, and then we'll just... We'll get our guy. We'll be on the road. You know what I mean? And now it's all in the up-and-up to suck for us. So you'll be here, and then Lovey will be here, and then Jack Eastby will go, and then we'll just – We'll get our guy. We'll be on and on. You know what I mean? And now it's all in the up and up. Good for them. Congratulations.

The people that you saw on the gym floor there are one, I guess two-thirds of a team that are traveling to 30 stadiums in 30 days. Well, Billy's there too. That's Bailey. Bailey's the closest one. That's our guy. The other two over there are two-thirds of a team that are traveling to

30 NFL stadiums in 30 days in the name of fundraising for St. Jude Children's Hospital. A man that I've just really got to learn about a little bit more over the last few days after hearing about doing this. A guy that I think we're all going to be massive fans of. And a man that we hope to help raise even more money ladies and gentlemen tom gross hey thanks for having me hey

thank you for uh stopping by your schedule right now is bananas so what day did you start this whole thing so this started on the 29th of may so yeah we started there so we got a two-day delay because then we got to go on the tours we got to do do all that stuff. And then we're also Johnny Barks. Shout out to Johnny Barks. Been crushing it with the editing. Oh, yeah. Came in here shooting. I mean, I saw his ass walk in here.

Camera on. I had a camera on me as soon as you guys walked in here. I was like, all right. This dude is on it right now. A lot of hours of footage to have to edit down there. Vlog a day. Yeah, it's a vlog a day every day in June. So, yeah, and then editing in L.A. at the end of June.

So it's dope, man. What made you think of this idea? I saw the video. It was awesome. The introduction video of it all. I appreciate you. I thought you took good time. I got to learn about other things that you've done to raise money for this seems to be a thing of yours that you do,

which is making the world a better place. That's awesome. How did you think of this, and how has it gone thus far? Dude, I mean, it's been one of those things. It was a shower idea on Valentine's Day. Just, you know, where all the good ideas come from we're taking a shower and i always wanted to like i have a character that i do just for skits or whatever for the commanders and i was like man it'd be really dope just to do something at fedex field i'm sitting there and i was like well what if i did all of

them and then i just did it in 30 days so then it literally took four months of planning so it was two months from there before i even made an announcement. And then we announced and I was like, all right, we're doing this. And we picked St. Jude and that's what we got here. So like we got St. Jude here. So driving us to Memphis because we're retouring the campus tomorrow, which is going to be amazing and meeting patient families. So yeah, and I came up with the idea and then just took months and months and months

of planning. And you know, we're almost halfway through. Yeah. Well, you're crushing it. The link in the goal was a hundred thousand dollars dollars and we'll put the link out with every video that we put uh 104 000 i believe this is a little bit lower than what it actually is at right now 135 000 is what you told me a little bit ago congratulations i appreciate you and we're gonna keep going and there's different milestones we're getting to right at 250 000 i heard you're

doing something crazy yeah so 250 we're gonna stay at a haunted hotel in new orleans so we already hit a hundred take an ambient or no ambient oh boy nothing no i don't even drink coffee man like 250,000. I heard you're doing something crazy. Yeah, so 250, we're going to stay at a haunted hotel in New Orleans. So we already hit 100. You taking Ambien or no Ambien? Oh, boy. I don't even drink coffee, man. No, this is what I did. I stayed at a haunted bed and breakfast in Florida. Okay?

This is when I was in the substance abuse program. Wasn't allowed to drink, so I had to figure out what people did for fun that weren't drunk. So I went and did all this stuff. I went bigfoot hunting. I went alligator stuff. I slept in the most haunted bed and breakfast in the South. So obviously I'm no dummy. I took two

Ambien on that thing. Passed out. Slept right through the night. Slept right through the night. What did you hear? You're the first person that has ever not got up or anything like that. And I was like, yeah, I didn't hear anything or whatever, and I got out of there. Who knows what happened? Don't do that because I didn't get to experience it at all.

We're going to go whole Blair Witch Project. See, I couldn't do that, though. It would freak me out. Honestly, we're just going to probably be working because it's about 15-hour days that we're working right now just between because we're traveling in the morning. Then we've got fan events in the afternoon. Hopefully, the stadium tour is in the morning depending if a team has gotten back to us or not.

And then we do a bunch of footage, a bunch of editing to try to get the video out from two days prior, and then another fan event. Yeah, that's what I told you. I told you you had to be exhausted at this point. Traveling is not easy. You're doing it every single day for 30 days. Yeah, I mean, so it's just Johnny Barks and I on the road.

That's it. So we're joined by St. Jude today because we're going down to Memphis. But, yeah, Johnny Barks has been crushing it there. And then we got Tyler Herrick, who's been making shorts at home, and a guy, Johnny Rockford, for thumbnails. And then that's it. So it's literally just us two just taking on the world at this point. And we've raised $135K, and I could not be happier about it.

And it's this community, man. I mean, we've been doing it every year, every single time. Back when I started this thing in 2015, it was just a small-ass podcast that nobody listened to. Everybody's podcast was the smallest podcast. I still remember my first one that got a hundred views and it was like a Rams interview. And I was like, oh man,

nothing's ever going to get better than this. Like this is dope as hell. And then what wound up happening is someone came on and I was like, you know, you make them plug. If you have a guest, you let them plug stuff. And a guy was like, I want to plug a service dog. So like it's a charity service dog for veterans, like we'll do vets.

And I had no money at that point. And so I was like, you know what, here's 50 bucks. And I was like, if I want to plug a service dog. It's a charity service dog for veterans. We'll do vets. And I had no money at that point. So I was like, you know what? Here's $50. And I was like, if I ever get to a point where I can give back, I'm going to do it. And so now we do massive fundraisers. We had $102,000 for various charities last year. Man, that's awesome. Including 62K and Nine Hour Stream.

So we're doing that. And those are the lesser known charities, the ones that don't have the name. And I just scout the crap out of them. And they're needy. And we wanted to work with St. Jude because they just do great work. Man, always wanted to be philanthropical, always wanted to give back.

How do you think that is? Yeah, man, I think it's a mix of two things. So I was a full-time teacher for six years. So I was teaching high school social studies and went through that. That's fun. Yeah, it was. It was a time, man.

History. I couldn't even social studies history's a mystery baby that's it uh yeah but we did that for six years and the podcast literally the whole reason this started was because the nfc championship game against seattle and i made a video like two days later and like back in 2015 it went viral which was like 60 000 like views and i was like oh man this is crazy i think i made like three dollars on it and uh and then i was like all right well let's just do a podcast and i just interviewed fans from opposing teams for years and just did that and then started doing on youtube and just growing slowly and slowly a jordan love reaction went viral so like that helped a lot and it just got

to a point i was telling you right before off air that the 2020 to 2021 i was doing both of these like hardcore full-time and so i was getting three hours of sleep every night for a full year. So like, you're asking like, how am I doing this? I'm like, cause I've done, I wasn't happy or what have you cause it was during COVID. I didn't know what 90% of my kids looked like, you know, cause it was all virtual. So like this, yeah, this is a cakewalk. Yeah. Well,

I'm excited to hear that because there's not a lot of people that'll be able to pull off what you're doing right now. Sleeping in hotels, I assume, motels, cars. Yeah. Yeah. doing right now. Sleeping in hotels, I assume. Motels? A lot of hotels. Cars? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Hey, listen. St. Jude, I know that obviously a lot of people do incredible things for it because they're doing incredible things for people. So shout out to you guys, honestly. And families and everything like that.

But this is one where you're fully committed to it. So I think we have massive respect for it. So thank you for working us into your schedule. No, I appreciate you having us. Like, this is amazing. Yeah, I mean, like, we've already had a lot of bumps in the road. We missed our flight. It was a 509 flight. I was on it on 90 minutes of sleep. We had to go to

Boston, then to go down to Foxborough. We weren't going to make it. The fan event was 1.30, and I was like, dude, we're renting a car. 6 a.m., we go there, we rent it, and I drove six hours and 48 minutes there. Stopped once for gas, and this was after jumping through a table. You're peeing in bottles? Not yet.

We haven't peed in any bottles. I saw that at Buffalo. You looked awesome. Good thumbnail. You flying? Dude, like, come on, man. We have to drop an elbow. They told me, like, they didn't tell me.

I thought it was grass. I was just like, oh, man, it's going to be a little bruise. Like, no big deal. It's gravel. It was all gravel. Gravel's the worst. That's the worst. Oh, it got in there.

Oh, yeah. No, we were bleeding the whole nines. But if you're going to jump through a table, you know, and you're going to do it for charity, you've got to jump through. You've just got to go for it. Yeah, especially if you're going to their stadiums. Okay, last question for me, and I know the boys probably have some, and I couldn't even fathom what A.J. is wanting to ask about this entire thing. I'm excited for it.

And I know you're a massive Packers fan, so I'm excited for you and Ty to kind of dive into it all. What has been the thing? So you take a tour at every single stadium. Has there been a story or something you learned at one of these stadiums that you've been to that's far that you were like, damn, they should either make that more known

or more public, and you didn't know it? Yeah, so there's a few things. I mean, there's just the things off the top of my head. So here's the thing. I'm just like a small YouTuber. Like, that's it, right? Now you're not, dude. A lot of people have tweeted us about you.

It's huge. We have an amazing community. You have a great community, man. Like, I've worked really, really hard to do that. Like, every single Friday, we do Friday night Q&As, and I've done that every single Friday since 2018 I streamed every playoff game every single primetime game last year

because that's what it is, it's community and you guys know, your community loves you guys wow, not all it turned on us quick I think that comes from negativity sucks on the internet but I think it comes down to there's a lot of love for you guys you guys built something from absolutely nothing and people are afraid that that's going to change and they

love you so much they don't want to see that go away it's very cool of you to explain it that way and you did the same exact thing though you need to know that thank you for the compliment but you got a big community pal dude you got a lot of motherfuckers behind you 135 grand dude that's not easy to do and that's the thing $50 donation you said you were doing now you got $135,000 and how many fucking days 29th to the 12th? 13 days? You should be proud, buddy. You're kicking ass. It's amazing. It's just a shout out to this community and how great they are. But to answer your question, so I

reached out to every single team and not all of them got back to me. That's awesome. Who? If we got some beef with some teams. You could go watch some of them. We've already not been able to go to some teams and there's some ahead of us that they just haven't gotten back to me. Listen, it's all good. I'm an outsider. They don't know who I am. It some of them. We've already not been able to go to some teams. And there's some ahead of us that they just haven't gotten back to me. Listen, it's all good.

I'm an outsider. They don't know who I am. It's all good. So we're going to make the content when we get there. You're raising money for St. Jude. You're trying to market their stink. Good business, says. Keeping the NFL in the conversation.

Listen, there's some great teams like the Pats, the Ravens, the Steelers, Cincy, Indy today. Indy, great team. Yes. Pick number four this year. It's starting to work. To answer your question about the best. All of our teams were great.

That's right. No big deal. Yeah, almost all the AFC North teams. Almost. Oh, who was it? The one who didn't let us in. The Browns. Yeah, they didn't let us in.

Oh! NFC North. Despite that, though, I instead bought a ticket to Monster Jam because it was $25, and I did a stadium tour where people were watching monster trucks. So I just did it myself, man. That's awesome. How was Gravedigger? Was he here? Dude, it was amazing. He flipped over at the end, so he didn't wind up. No I just did it myself, man. That's awesome. How was Gravedigger? Was he here?

Dude, it was amazing. He flipped over at the end so he didn't wind up. No, that's a winner. I thought that's what his goal was. No, he couldn't get up. Yeah, the crowd was bad. Oh, was it running

while he was upside down like a turkey? Turtle. So when we were in Lambeau, our tour guide, Tom, who's been there forever, his dad was at the first ever Packers game at 11 years old

gets hit in the back with a football this guy runs up to him he's like hey kid get out of there because there's no stadium and it was curly lambo who threw the ball and hit him so like this guy like he literally has taken a bunch of his collector stuff and put it in the halls of lambo because it's all just retired guys who are like in the area and so you know like i never knew that and obviously that story but dude there's been so many the steelers for example we were there uh with the boss's son's wedding so that was pretty cool we didn't go to the wedding because like that the commission was getting flying after that and all that but now dude like there's been so who told you what's happening somebody had steelers yeah we were there the day that was an invite you should have poked your head

yeah yeah just poked up just like show up like yeah people do that we got the blue team by the way so i had never been to pittsburgh so holy crap what a beautiful just like show up like this and be like, hey, we got the blue jeans. People do that. People do that in Pittsburgh. By the way, so I had never been to Pittsburgh. So holy crap, what a beautiful city. It is a beautiful city. I cannot wait to go back there. It's amazing. So no, it was a phenomenal time.

Dude, it's just like, it's so crazy. Just like the things that, like the little stories that go, like for example, the Ravens, they have, if you look out a certain window, they have it like set up as piano keys because it used to be an old piano factory and that's like where the stadium was built there's so many little easter eggs amongst these stadiums and it's just how much are these tours do you know have you most have not charged so oh no i pay for a bunch of them

yeah like i booked that money to go to saint jude yeah not our team so not our team so you're right you're right so that's the thing too because people are like oh the nfl is helping you out so i held off on buying a house this year and putting it down instead to do this because like i wanted to do this instead so no like this is all coming from me it's all self-funded like paying for johnny and all that i'm happy to do it tom tom yeah i love that i do the commitment is fucking awesome okay and i put all my money into this business as well. Almost one completely broke even after having a ridiculous overpaying

job in the NFL. You are doing the NFL a favor here. They should be able to pay for these tours. How much are the tours? It depends. For example, a team that won't be named wanted to charge me $400. $400? Washington. They didn't even answer my emails.

Those are full tours? It's like a normal tour. They were just like, hey. It's just two people. We're doing it for St. Jude. Yeah, it's like $400. It is what it is. I get it. I do whatever I can. I had a budget. It's basically a down payment of the house.

We're trying to stick within that, within reason. Some of the teams have been amazing and we'd be able to go for all right so this is our donation we'd like to donate all of the tour prices for to you that's what we'd like to donate so that that money can go to somewhere else jude st jude i appreciate you guys no problem that would be i would like that to be our donation okay shouldn't have to do this at all hey nfl roger we shouldn't have to do this it Shouldn't at all. Hey, NFL, watch. We shouldn't have to do this. This is a powerful situation. Now, Greg, they're all individual businesses being run by individuals, and I

assume that the people that actually make decisions in some places have not even heard about this particular situation, but those people need to run this up the chain. Come on. $135,000 already raised in 13 days. That's a great cause. Yeah, man. We're rocking. And again, I get it. They don't know me. They don't have to. Great cause. Yeah, man. Like, we're rocking. And again, like, I get it.

You know, like, they don't know me. They don't have to, like. So, for example, the Bengals. They do know you. They've seen you on the internet. The Bengals literally said, like, we didn't know who you were. All we saw was, like, the dropping elbow. Like, so, for example, St. Jude had no idea I was doing this.

So, like, I just saw it call it chaotic good. Like, we usually just raise a bunch of money for charity, and I just never tell them. I reach out, like, a month and a half later when they get the money. I'm like, hey, just making sure you got it. That's awesome. So, they reached out to me. They're like, who are you and what are you doing and I was just like we're jumping through tables man like that's it like we're just having a good

time AJ has a question for you Tom AJ Tom what's up I saw I believe you're gonna be in front of the Peyton Manning statue tonight at 5 30 for a fan meetup if I if I saw on your Twitter correctly what what can fans expect I guess when they show up what are you gonna do so that's been the thing the the first day that we were there, we were walking to Green Bay. It was Tuesday at 11 o'clock in the morning. I was like, how many people are going to show up to this thing? I'll get recognized in Green Bay every now and then. I'm out of New York.

Very rarely. Maybe 12. Something like that. There was about 50 people there. There you go. 11 o'clock on what day? It was on Tuesday. 11 o'clock in the morning. That's not easy. Here we go. 11 o'clock on what day? It was on Tuesday, you know, 11 o'clock in the morning. That's not easy. No.

People working jobs. Buffalo was a game changer because there was over 150 people. The news was there. We had drones. People came out to jump through a table. Yesterday, I'm pretty sure, and since we had 150 to 175. And I just show up to the fan events, and it's just like a community of football. It's a whole bunch of different fans.

It's locals. And I don't leave until everybody gets a signature or a picture, whatever they came out for, because people are flying out for this. They're driving out for this. And I feel like it's my responsibility to give them the best time possible. That's awesome. Sounds like you're an incredible human. That's what we'll be doing.

We'll be hanging out until that, and then we're going to be driving seven hours tonight to go to Memphis. There you go. Yeah. Hey, you guys are based in Memphis? I don't think i knew that yeah what a city what a city great city what a city yeah gorgeous have you been to memphis before dude i haven't been to like 24 of these cities like so it's just an awesome experience for me are you going to enjoy them at all or is it in and out i am no because we stay there like a good like 12 18

hours depending on you know what we're doing like i've taken ubers at 12 30 in the morning to get to buff like to baltimore so you know we tried and it's kind of like a bucket list thing where i'm like okay like i want to go back to pittsburgh i want to go back to cincinnati detroit had the time of my life and i think that that's been the best part the amount of people who are like hey like don't want be careful this city you know be careful this you're gonna have a bad time here and we just rock it there because like yeah listen there's some tough cities baltimore is a tough ass city but there's some amazing people there and they're so passionate we packed out jimmy seafood like we packed photos yeah and it was amazing they're a big wrestling town too so like oh yeah they were going wild so yeah i heard you're an adam cole guy i mean is that not like the worst decision you've made? You sound like such a good guy.

Raising money, hustling, grinding. Teacher and YouTuber. Listen, I... He's a rad fuck. What'd you say, Jay? Adam Cole was a very nice guy, I understand. No, he's not. He gave Ty colitis. He did.

How'd he do that? I'm still battling, but you know? I'm still battling. It's a fight, man. You know, it's just... I respect him a lot. It's good stuff. Him and MJF should be electrifying. Oh yeah, dude, it'll be great. Dude, that's the thing. I'm so out of it. The smoke followed us for three days

because we were in New York, then we were in Philly, then we were in Baltimore. I ran the Rocky steps in it because I was like, if I'm here, I'm running the Rocky steps. I don't care. We ripped off the mask and we ran. At the end of the day. Did you put the AQI meter whenever you run up the stairs?

Hell no. We just ran them. Dude, we should remember that because they were telling people, do not breathe. You're running the steps. I didn't want to bring people out because we wanted to keep people safe. We did one in the morning before it was too terrible. Then we just canceled the one at night just because we weren't able to bring people out because we want to keep people safe. So we did one in the morning before it was too terrible and then we just canceled the one at night just because we weren't able to do it.

We're trying to rock and it's just showing the best of the fan bases, the teams, the cities and everywhere that we're going. It's all just trying to do chaotic good and spread positivity, man. That's a hell of a word there. Chaotic good. Ty, I have a question for you. Yeah, Tom, when you go to I don't know how many of the NFC North cities you've been to yet, but everyone, so you've

been to all of them. Everyone knows you're a big Packers fan. Have things got a little, you know, has there been animosity there? Like, have been people kind of shitting on you because you're a Packers fan? Because you pull no punches when it comes to, you know, ripping on the Vikings and the Bears. Lions are, you know, I mean, this year

maybe they'll be good, but they've been and also ran for about 50 years, so no one really cares. Your video about them sports gambling was good yeah exactly but have like have people showed up to these fan events like almost you know like not tongue-in-cheek like where you think i mean listen throw on me they're a bunch of smart asses right like i've signed anthony bar jerseys you know like we had to like go through that but i also was like doing protests to save the birds outside the viking stadium so it's all kind of it's out of love man because it's just they're all part of the community.

And just to experience it in person, as you guys know, right? Like, online is a completely different beast, right? You can log off, and then it's kind of quiet, right? But when you see it in person, and people are out there, and I disassociate a lot from that. I'm like, oh, they're here to rep the team. They're here to, like, rep the city. And they're, like, chanting grassy.

And I'm like, this is weird, man. Look at you, man. I'm like, this is so weird. Yeah, teaching, that's it that's it were you a teacher and a comedian as well or you just say comedy because you want people to know that no no no i i started up doing uh improv in college i actually almost was able to be a cast member on snl but i turned it down to go teach and then uh did stand up like the week that robin williams passed away and was just like let me just try that did an album and yeah like i still dabble in every now and then but then I just sunk all my time and energy into this.

Good for you, man. Congratulations. Tone has a question for you. You been to a Wawa or a Sheetz? Not yet, no. Okay. You're not going to be to a Sheetz, I don't think. What's the nicest airport you've been through? Dude, we've gotten lost at a lot of airports. A lot of airports. You know what though?

A shout out to the Detroit airport. I just know it really well, but I love that airport, man. It's a good airport. It's so clean. It's so easy to get. They got the SkyTrain or whatever. I do love that. Sweet.

Walk through that move and sidewalk. It's so funny because Green Bay, like Austin-Strubel, is this big, right? They've got six flights going out of it, and that's it. Indy, yeah. We're going to go to Atlanta, and it's going to be insane. Yeah, man. It's amazing that you said you missed that 509 flight or whatever after 90 minutes of sleep. It's amazing you haven't missed more flights with the way travel is.

Especially now. It's not reliable right now. I don't know if it is or not. No, it's not great because that's the thing. We even, from Pittsburgh to Cincy, we had to go over to Detroit and over to come back there. And I'm just crossing my fingers because if there's one thing that goes wrong, we're screwed. I planned this for four months, but if one flight

gets missed or one thing, we could be completely gone. You're not buying a house right now because you planned this. Correct, yeah. Instead of the down payment. Now you're putting it down on flights and travel and food, yeah. Oh, so back end, we're going to have a little bit more to deal with. Still got the house? No, no, no. I legit said I'm not getting a house to do this, to've got a little bit more to do. Still got the house? No, no, no, no.

Like, I legit, like, I'm not getting a house to do this, like, to fund this. Did you Zillow? You had a house? You looked for a house? Like, so I have a realtor because I, like, am trying to move to Wisconsin. And then, yeah, just like, hey, we've got to hold off because it ain't going to happen. He still has a house there. Yeah, he still lives there. Yeah.

Aaron's got a house there, too. Yeah. I'll hop on over. Buy Aaron's old house. Yeah, maybe. And go to the country club that he goes to. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? There you go. You're just getting free tickets. How about Aaron coming to New York City now? That's good. Your neighbors.

Yeah, exactly. He's in Jersey, too. That was the one place we could not go at all because Ed Sheeran was in town. So they were like, you can't even film on the property because it was like all production. So I filmed on the side of a highway. That's our photo. No, it's all good. So I filmed on the side of a highway to make sure that I still went.

The MetLife? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We had a mishap there at the MetLife. I've been there a bunch of times, but yeah. We took the top off an RV there. By we, I mean Zeke was told to go in a general direction and then didn't know the clearance. And we just hit the gnaws going into that.

An overhang outside of MetLife Stadium. Took the top all the way off. Thought we could make it through after hitting it. $45,000 in damage to that RV. Had to drive it all the way back to Indianapolis to a rainstorm with no roof. Yeah, nothing. Garbage bags on the top. So not only was the top ruined, the inside was also ruined with water damage.

So that was a little twofer there. Great airflow in there on the way back. Yeah, good, good. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, exactly. Lady we rented it from, her only request was just don't make it too dirty in here. Yeah, because she had to take her family the week afterwards. Yeah, so.

So it wasn't just too dirty, lady. It was completely tough. It got the dirt out, though. I mean, like, it just sucked it right out. You're right. You didn't even think about that. Yeah, it just works out. Never got a thank you either.

No. No, a lot of tears, though. Yeah, she was not happy. Never got to thank you either. No. No, she, a lot of tears though. Yeah, she was not happy. I mean, she's very sad, devastated, but hey, sometimes you got to take the roof off at the MetLife. Now, Tom. Yeah. Next is the fan event at 530.

Yeah. So you already did the Indianapolis Colts tour? I did. Okay. Then you're off to Memphis. Yeah. And then what? Nashville, we're hopping over.

So like, we're literally going there. D-Hop might be there. You're going to go, you're going to try to find D-Hop? Yeah, we'll say hi. You know, we'll stop in and say hello. Yeah. I mean, like this, and there's been some teams that have just been so fantastic,

and then the ones that haven't even responded, it's all good. We hold nothing about it. We're still going to make your cities and people look great because they are. So we're just showing the best of every single one. So if we can hop on a stadium tour, that's cool. The Steelers were the first team to donate to St. Jude. They donated $1,000, which was freaking awesome. It was amazing to have them.

How much did they charge you for the tour then? Nothing. That one was free. Wow. Wow. It's just the first class. We were good. I will say that.

They got it like 1,400 bucks. They get it. I will say that there were a lot of teams that were very quiet and didn't respond for a few months, and then we started raising money, and all of a sudden they're like, oh, hey, how's it going, man? Back then they didn't like me. Now I'm hot, and they all want me.

It's all for kids, man. You and Mike Jones, bro. That's unbelievable. That's the world uh we'll put the link out we would like to donate i don't know what we will we'll we'll kind of we'll kind of watch it through this entirety see where it's at because if you get 250 000 you're doing a haunted thing down in louisiana 500 000 you're doing what we're eating the hottest thing in casey that's where they make to bomb that hot sauce from hot ones uh. So, yeah, that'll hurt. Is that $750? I'm jumping off a hotel building. It's 800 feet high, sky jump

in Vegas, and then a million will be a tattoo if we get it. Tattoo, where at? What are we... So I was just going to... AJ, would you like to brainstorm a little bit about this tattoo? I mean, I got a lot of questions, but is Chris Angel, are you going to team up with him when you get to Vegas? Yeah, right. We'll just hover over some things. Yeah, I mean, listen, it's going to be crazy.

The fact that we hit $100,000, I'm just so grateful to this community, man. It's just a lot of hard work, and I'm just trying to do the best I can to put out the best things that we can. Yeah, but could you fucking fathom you raised $750,000 with this? No. I mean, again, we— That would be amazing. And then you're jumping out of a fucking building because of it?

Chris Angel putting Johnny's legs on your legs, maybe? Yeah, slicing and dicing and then you're jumping out of a fucking building because of it. Chris Angel putting Johnny's legs on your legs maybe. Yeah, slicing and dicing and then jumping. Yeah, taking his legs, put them on your body. His legs are running you off. And then you're jumping and dangling out there. That's Chris Angel night in Vegas. $750,000 going to a great cause as well. I mean, let's go, dude.

You're doing it. You're doing a great job. I appreciate you guys and thank you for having me. This is freaking awesome. I appreciate you taking the time. No, thank you, bro. We appreciate the hell out of you. Enjoy're doing a great job. I appreciate you guys, and thank you for having me. Like, this is freaking awesome. I appreciate you taking the time. No, thank you, bro. We appreciate the hell out of you. Enjoy the rest of your journeys. Safe travels, obviously. Thank you. Hope everything goes copacetically, too, with every team.

Yeah. They should be paying for that. They should. That's ridiculous. Hopefully, maybe after this, maybe some teams will reach out who haven't yet. And again, like, it's just open the door. Like, we're here to, like, film. We're here to make it look great.

And that's it, man. Yeah, I mean, that guy, as soon as you open the door, will film just open the door. We're here to film. We're here to make it look great. And that's it, man. Yeah, I mean, that guy, as soon as you open the door, will film. That's right. That's Johnny Bucks, man. He's been crushing it. As soon as I saw him come through that door, he had the camera on there. He was ready to go. Real quick, I mean, just before we head out, I apologize.

No, take your time, bro. When we get there, too, so when we have time, we've been doing two fan events because we're trying to support local businesses when we're there and doing the fan events there. Whether we were in Buffalo, they raised over $1,100. That's going to help the community. We packed out a place in Detroit with 40 people, which was amazing. They were there for 40 years.

That's what we're trying to do here. Baltimore, you're at Jimmy's? We're bringing out creators, too, in this space. Graven came out. He's a huge Ravens fan. Got him out there, so he got to go on the tour and experience it and go through the locker and stuff because that's what it's about right like we're all fans of this game that we love and so like we're going to be collaborating with other creators in the space and everything like that so like the brandon perna's

It's cool. That's it. We're trying, man. And just try and do some good. Keep inspiring us, bro. Keep it going. Ladies and gentlemen, Tom Gross. In this sports program is about to have a moment that we've never had before,

AJ Hawk. What would that be? We're about to break some news. Yep. Ladies and gentlemen, a franchise has called to its fans to find a new logo for their team. That's right. That team being the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland Browns said we need a new dog logo.

Okay, we put an elf in the middle of the field. And people had a little bit of a backlash because we have the dog behind. We are dogs. Now we need a new logo. So they said, hey, any fans want to go ahead and draw one? Go ahead. We'll internally put one up. Go ahead.

Then we'll have a little voting. They have two finalists, ladies and gentlemen. One fan created. One internally created. And it is now time for the Cleveland Browns fans to learn their fate of the next dog logo. Bringing in the box that will obviously tell us what is the winner is Brownie the Young. Wow. Brownie.

Let Brownie get in. Brownie. Look at Brownie. Now, Brownie will obviously be taking the box over to the table right here in the middle. Does he talk? Brownie and Diggs are staring each other down. I do not believe he speaks. He's in there, Diggs.

What's going on? Stand up, Diggs. Come on. Oh! Tony! Tony, what are you doing? Oh, I thought he was going to do it to him again. Should have done it to him again, Brownie. Oh, no.

Holy shit, Brownie. Brownie! Brownie, if we knew you were going to do that, Brownie, if we were going to... I think if we all knew you were going to do that, I don't know if they'd be voting on a new logo to potentially replace you on the middle of the field. Now, that'll be voted on at a later date.

We do know that this logo will go into circulation, though, for the Cleveland Browns as their dog logo. Ladies and gentlemen, let's unveil the proper new dog logo. Here we go! Drum roll, please! It's the new dog logo! Replace it, you know!

Ha ha ha! It'll always be in place for you. Sorry, Brownie. Sorry, Brownie! Dog logo! Replacing the elf! Ha ha ha! It's just a joke, it'll always be a place for you. Always be a place. Sorry, Brownie. Sorry, Brownie! So, it takes a little bit of time. You'll be here soon, right? Yeah, yeah.

Here's the dog logo! Here's... Ha! Ha! Congratulations! Wow! This is a fake, generated dog logo, not the one done internally. So this is a dog by a dog for the dog.

Hell yeah. Congratulations, Brownie. This is your future right here. Hell yeah. Rate it in wheat, Brownie. Suck it. So this is something now, right? Because the new dog logo had fans vote on it.

Come on, Ty. And the fans also in the future will vote on whether or not. What's the old logo? This thing. Ronnie the Elf. Sorry. Sorry. You're a thing.

I mean, technically, we're all things. I'm a thing. I'm a thing. Ty's a thing. I'm a thing. There's a thing. Tone, certainly a thing right now. Oh're a thing. I mean, technically, we're all things. I'm a thing. I'm a thing. Ty's a thing. I'm a thing. There's a thing. Tone's certainly a thing right now. Oh, Tone.

Oh, let's go shake their hands. Let's go shake their hands. Oh! Right in Brownie's face. Gotcha. Yeah. He said the big F dash dash dash U. Yep.

That's what he said to you, Brownie. And he's not the only one. Because I was told by the Browns that they might vote on this to replace you in the middle of the field. Oh, no. There will always be a place for you, Brownie, but that will also happen.

So the logo thing is not done. There's still more to come. And congratulations to the Cleveland Browns on a brand new dog leading the dog pound. That's a sweet-looking dog. Hell yeah. Good logo. Come on. It's awesome. I put a shadow over it. Come on. That's a sweet looking dog. Good logo.

I put a shadow over it. It should be there. It looks good. Put that right in the middle of the field. Probably should. Strike fear in the opponent's heart. Put that right in the middle of the field. Right on the 50 yard line. Put it on everything. Make the mascot.

Everywhere there's an elf, put the dog. You know what I mean? Yes. I didn't say it. This is what the Browns are saying. Put the same. Sorry, Brownie. You should argue for yourself.

Thank you, Brownie. Thank you, Brownie. Good run, Brownie. You got a good run as a Browns fan. Great run. You did. Great run. It was fun.

Two years. I would like to shake your hand. Congratulations. Nice. Hell of a run. We'll always remember you, Brownie. Always. Always remember you, Brownie. Truce. Okay. Hey, that was fun to see. hand. Congratulations. Nice. Hell of a run. We'll always remember you, Brian. Always. Always remember you, Brian.

Truce. Okay. Hey, that was fun to see. Good AFC North. Oh, Brownie said last word. Last word. Oh, man. He wiped it off.

Said this is disgusting. Wow. Yeah. Wiped it off. He did that. Get the mirror out, Diggs. He's getting replaced by a dog. Brownie.

Yeah, if we knew Brownie had, youie had the job that he's showing today, I don't know if they're looking for a new mascot. Brownie, in the elf community, how high are you in the hierarchy of elves at the top? Top. Damn it. That's going to be a tough fall for all the other elves. Not more than Harry Potter. Not more than Harry Potter. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

No. Oh, he's Brownie the elf. What about the cooking elves? The Keebler? They're pretty. Whoa! Oh! Oh!

Too small! Holy shit. Brody! Brody's about to gritty on the Keebler elves. What about Smurfs? Are those elves? No, they're their own thing. Yeah, that's a different thing. Separate race.

Legolas, though? Come on. Who? The elves in Lord of the Rings. What are we talking about? They're way up there. Yeah. At what point did you know you were going to be an elf?

A long time ago? Yeah. It's like Penn and Teller routine. What's your favorite food? What do you like to eat? What does a brownie the elf eat, if you had to guess? Yeah. Poop.

What do you eat? I don Poop. What do you eat? I don't know. What do you eat? Brownies. What is it? Can you do a little display? How many push-ups can you do? What do you eat?

Football? You eat footballs? You eat footballs? First word. Is that what you do? You eat footballs. I love charades. Okay.

We could have. Okay. Eat football. Sorry. That's why you're the mascot. That's right. You rake and leave. Does he eat brownies? You eat brownies?

You do eat brownies. I would suggest a Friday's. Wasn't it? TGI Fridays. Should head there now. They had them at the office last week. Nick and Ty and their despicable eating habits had TGI Fridays in the office on Thursday, I think.

Every day is a Friday of Fridays. They brought in the brownies. That was the best brownie I've been around. The best brownie I've been around. Not even a close second. Not even a close second. Or third. You know what I mean?

Best brownie I've had. Oh my God. What brownie I've had. Oh, my God. What? What, Brownie? Oh, you're saying I'm a four? Top five. Top five. He's only a four.

Did Brownie wear the whole situation all the way here from Cleveland, you think, in the car? What do you mean? This is every day. This ain't a situation. Yeah, he wakes up. He said this is a costume. AJ said this is a costume, potentially, and you're not an actual elf. That's what AJ said.

No, AJ. No, not me. AJ Hawk Flip him off, Brownie Yeah, let him know Come on, tell him Oh! Brownie didn't eat anything
