Hello, beautiful people. Welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdome. On this Juneteenth,
2023, this sports program starts right now. Sports! Our happening in sports are a great
depiction of why our society being united as one is such a beautiful thing. We get a
chance to witness people from all different backgrounds, all different classes of
life, all different ethnicities and religions and everything come together for one common goal in
battle. And whenever the world was about to be torn apart by its seams just a couple years ago,
whenever there was people riding and literally race riots were taking place in the United States
of America a couple years back, all any of us that have ever been involved in the NFL or any
other sport kept saying is we hope that the locker room will ooze out into public because what happens
in the locker room is a beautiful place you don't have to agree with somebody on every single facet
of life to be able to look at a goal and say hey we need to go ahead and do this and i believe the
world is getting much much better than it was in 1865 which is when juneteenth came to be it was
in galveston te Texas, whenever Union General
Gordon Granger, and I want to say from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but he's not from Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, although Pittsburgh is from the North. Let's remember that. Okay, let's remember
that. Gordon Granger rolls into Galveston, Texas to let them know, hey, the North won.
Slaves are free. Two years after, obviously, 1863, whenever it took place, and I do believe from then
to now, we have certainly made incredible progress, but we are not done, obviously, 1863, whenever it took place. And I do believe from then to now, we have certainly made incredible progress.
But we are not done, obviously.
There's a much better world that we all aim to shoot for.
And on this Juneteenth, it's not a bad thing, which is a holiday that, fuck, I think we all just learned about within the last couple of years.
Oh, yeah.
I asked a couple of my very black friends.
I said, hey, how come y'all motherfuckers never told me about Juneteenth?
What was in this thing?
I feel like an asshole here.
The internet's telling me I'm a fucking bad white.
You know what I mean?
I'm a bad guy.
And they're like, well, to be honest, I was just learning about it as well.
I said, all right, well, I'm happy that we're all learning about it.
Hope that it brings a time wherever we can continue to look to what the future could be, which is perfect.
Although we are gaining strides on that every single day, there's always going to be assholes.
But you remember that?
Everywhere. Every race. Everywhere there always going to be assholes. But you remember that? Everywhere.
Every race.
Everywhere there's going to be assholes.
We cannot let them be the ones that define us.
No, no.
We've got to be defined by the majority that are good,
and we keep moving forward to have a good time.
Happy Juneteenth.
Happy Juneteenth.
The Toxic Table is here, obviously,
at Boston Conner and at Ty Schmidt.
One half of the hammer.
Down.
Cowboys 10 digits here.
And there was a lot that happened in the sports world this weekend.
Hey, listen, this U.S. Open was fantastic.
I think that the Internet was cooking the Los Angeles Country Club.
And I didn't know that the Los Angeles Country Club was trying to be the Augusta of California pretty much.
Now, that would make sense that in the middle of Beverly Hills, sitting on an $8 billion piece of land.
Yes, sir.
dollar piece of land yeah sir a golf course was able to remain kind of anonymous whenever all the celebrities and influencers and everybody was basically living right on the outside of the
entire course we had heard about the playboy mansion do i have any fucking clues on a golf
course called the lacc no idea no cell phones must wear a sports coat after like 6 p.m in the
building not allowed to talk about it not allowed allowed to post about it, not allowed to do anything.
$250,000 to become a member, but that's only after you're accepted to become a member in which there are not a lot of people that get to do that.
I had no idea that was the case.
So whenever it started coming out that these guys bought half of the general admission tickets to themselves, it makes a little bit of sense.
If you think about it as the Augusta of California.
Oh, yeah. This is their first time
getting exposed to the world.
You think they wanted
a bunch of people
just fucking walking
all over their place?
Absolutely not.
People didn't even know
we existed for a long time.
This is the middle of stars.
This is where everything
is kind of made popular.
In this place,
nobody even knew about it.
Right in the fucking middle
of Beverly Hills.
Debut.
Hollywood Hill.
Right there.
Golf course.
How did none of us see this?
Not even allowed to fly
a fucking drone or helicopter over top of this thing so they bought up half the general admission
they sold all the other stuff to a bunch of corporate people people are saying that the
atmosphere and the vibe for us open wasn't good enough although on 18 i think whenever they let
them run up to the green and it was completely circled around it wyndham clark had a pretty
good vibe there i actually thought to myself man i, I hope this guy, you know, this is the moment. Yeah. Gets it done. They were telling his story about his mom passing
away and how he basically had to quit golf or almost thought about quitting golf forever because
how negative everything was. He started at three years old, swinging a stick at six. He had his
first hole in one. This is a prodigy. The pressure of golf had been on Wyndham Clark for his entire
life, actually. And he almost quit, almost left, couldn't do it anymore after his mom passed away.
And here we are.
One-stroke lead.
18th hole.
Bunch of yups, Marty Fish
included. Circling the
green. They were a little chirpy, too.
Some of the fans.
A little mothy, a little L.A.
California mothy.
You'd get smacked in a moth if those weren't golfers.
Some of you.
Some people are laughing at some people missing putts.
Yeah.
I wish some of those guys, hey, come here.
Ha-pah.
Ricky.
Right in the fucking moth.
There was some chance earlier in the week, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I respect a little, you know, gamesmanship.
Sure.
A little jocularity.
Yeah, jocularity.
But it's golf.
It's golf.
It's golf.
At LACC, nonetheless.
But imagine him, one-stroke lead, going onto the green here.
Need to two-putt, long way, 60-some feet or whatever.
And that entire place just circles him.
And there's him dipping down, and there's going to be a sick photo of just like all of these humans trying to line on the outside of the sand trap,
falling, getting pushed into the sand trap.
There's going to be a great photo there.
And that motherfucker rolls it to a foot.
Unreal.
Unbelievable.
Just the gut sack, the courage,
and the ability to kind of compartmentalize
nerves and feelings.
He was probably thinking about his mom the entire time.
And I couldn't even fathom before the tap-in,
like, mom, this one's for you almost.
Like, I'm getting kind of choked up for it.
And then you see him do the entire,
it was, I thought it was a magical moment. I don't know why everybody was kind of bashing it on the internet
i loved watching golf this weekend and shout out to me learning about a new golf course
and shout out to ricky fowler playing great golf not being able to get it done rory playing great
golf not being able to get it done and wyndham clark a guy that i didn't know about but had
been trending well going into the u.s open allegedly he was 30th in the world before the
open now he's 13th okay so trending upwards obviously nice to learn about him his story
and watch golf all fucking weekend ty yeah it was the absolute best and you're right like the
the thing that pisses me off about the course is early in the week everyone is talking about you
know like how much they like the course and like oh you know it's not like typical u.s opens this
is different this This is good.
We're having a good time watching it.
And then because the winning score was 10-under,
I saw a bunch of people bitching that the 18th hole, the fairway,
is 58 yards wide, and that's the biggest.
And he needed it.
He took that thing from left side, 150 feet, right side.
He went strong side there.
But, like, if you look at that course, like, all the stuff around the greens
and everything, it was incredibly tough.
These guys just played well.
And I just hate how, like, when it suits your narrative,
you can bash on the course and say it's too easy.
And then on Sunday when guys are actually playing.
And, like, I mean, shit, we talked about it off air.
Like, Wyndham Clark had that bogey save on the par 5
where he was in that really, really thick stuff.
If he gets an 8 there, like everyone expects him to kind of do,
he loses the tournament.
But he had just time and time again where you thought he was going to falter.
He just kept coming up, making big shots.
And it's like, I don't know why people can't appreciate that more
as opposed to like, oh, the course, it's not difficult enough.
The winner needs to be shooting 3-4 under.
Justin Thomas shot an 81. I think it was hard. I, it's not difficult enough. The winner needs to be shooting three, four under. Justin Thomas shot an 81.
I think it was hard. I think it was a
tough course. I think people
had some shots we expected out of the U.S.
Open. There were some divots and some duffs
and some fluffs and some misses.
There was a lot of those all weekend, which is great.
I'm happy they got to show them. I think the commentary
too, the way... Oh, yeah. People are
killing Paul Azinger. That was interesting. Big time.
That kind of sets the mood, though, for everything.
Paul's not the most positive guy of all time.
Yeah, but that's a terrible shot he's had a couple of times.
Yeah, he's had real time.
Pretty easy to mute.
It's like, all right, is it?
Yeah, but you shouldn't have to mute.
I know, I agree.
Because a part of golf is the...
You know, like the whole...
The sound.
That is golf, the experience of golf.
It's an afternoon nap delight.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know. I didn't understand
all that. I think people are just so used to
Nance and Fado, who are both
very, very good, that when they get
compared to anybody else, it's hard.
Oh, because he does, it sounds like Nance.
No. He's good. This guy sounds like
Nance. Dude on the left? The guy that's doing
the play-by-play. I think he's on the right.
Right side? Yeah, he had a three-piece on.
Did you see that? Oh, yeah. Dude, he had
three pieces. Looking clean. He did.
He sounds like Nance, though, I think, which
I don't know if he would take that as a compliment or not. I'd assume so.
But I always like, oh, is this Nance getting money
from everybody? I mean, Nance is able to
do it. I think it should be. I don't know how he views it.
I think he does a great job. But the other one,
they were burying the crowd, though. Is it because
the crowd was a bunch of, like, you'd hear
the assholes more because there wasn't as many people in the crowd? Like. Is it because the crowd was a bunch of, like, you'd hear the assholes more
because there wasn't as many people in the crowd?
Like, what do you think it was?
I do wonder.
Yeah, it feels like they almost made it like the Super Bowl
because you always mention how the Super Bowl is a lot of, like,
businesses and corporations and people from places to go and watch it.
And if that's what the country club was doing,
was giving it to those types of people, then maybe it was kind of, you know,
sooty, if you will.
But also last year in Massachusetts, there were so many clowns out for the U.S. Open last year that it was kind of, you know, sooty, if you will. But also last year in Massachusetts,
there were so many clowns out for the U.S. Open last year
that it was no matter what, there was going to be a step down
unless they did it at like an Oakmont in Pittsburgh
or a town similar to Boston.
Yeah, it was a little bit different than Boston.
Yeah, a little bit.
I didn't think it was that bad, though.
I enjoyed watching it.
Shout out to golf carrying us through another weekend.
We needed it.
Shout out to Father's Day.
Shout out to all the dads out there.
They got a chance to get celebrated because of something that they played a very little part in,
which I shout out.
Yeah, shout out.
You know, I'm a big fan of that.
Oh, you're sweet.
My wife was like, happy Father's Day.
I'm like, well, it's because he, you know, this is kind of like.
You know what?
You're right.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Yeah.
You're right.
I am a father.
I mean, without you, literally not possible.
Right.
Like, and you had to do a lot. But without you, also're right. I am a father. I mean, without you, literally not possible. Right. And you had to do a lot of work.
But without you, also not possible.
I guess.
I mean, now that we've been through it, you know, I used to say that a lot.
I used to be like, hey, don't you forget.
Like, you're dead.
You're part of this.
Yeah.
You used to say it to my friends.
Not really, though.
Once you support system, for sure.
Absolutely.
Nurturing, caring.
Right.
There you go.
But boy, us not carrying the baby
oh buddy oh yeah mother's day a thousand x i watch a stand-up comedian this week uh this weekend on
the instagram i forget his name um he said you know i did the research he said mother's day is
the number two celebrated holiday basically in america he said christmas he said mother's day is the number two celebrated holiday basically in
america he said christmas is one mother's day is two so it's jesus then your mama he said your dad
20 yeah and then he started listing off he started listing off harvard day it was like 19
flag day i think was in there somehow president's day it was boom it was just like listed off in
this whole thing and And I'm like,
I appreciate that that's a fact because at this stage,
like yesterday,
I was trying to tell my wife,
who's been kicking so much ass
this whole thing,
I'm like,
please do not feel obligated.
Like, this is not,
we are way too early
in this game to be doing this.
And she did.
And it was cool
to kind of be a dad now.
You know,
and I got a lot of text messages
from a lot of people
that I appreciate in my life
and people that I look up to
as fathers
with how they go
about doing their work
and being a dad
and being able to balance that
and judge that.
People that I've sent questions to
like,
hey,
when this happens,
should I feel like a terrible human
whenever this takes place
or whatever?
Got a lot of messages,
a lot of,
hey,
happy first Father's Day
with full speeches
about what,
you know,
I should be thinking about
and what I need to do so I make sure that I create
a part of producing a valuable member to society.
You know, not just, it was cool.
Yesterday was a cool day that I couldn't have expected,
and I hope everybody had an incredible one.
Got to see my old man, made a pizza with the old man.
There we go.
Yeah, it was a cool day.
Good pizza.
Yeah, Tim also, you know, his first grandfather's day, I guess
Is that a day?
Father's day, probably
I would assume there's a grandparent's day
Somewhere
That's
Yeah, that might be 45th
That's way
Way down in the totem
Tim with the baby is awesome to watch
You know what I mean?
It is really, really cool to watch him
With the baby
Because I've never seen him interact, I don't think
With anything that is like You know, he didn't have a daughter. Tim's super outdoorsman,
trucker. I mean, like, you know, so watching my dad with this little baby girl, whenever she
squeezed on his finger and everything, it's just like, it was a cool day yesterday and hope
everybody experienced that. And shout out to all the dads and the people whose fathers have passed away i understand they could be a tough 24 hours and a tough kind of
remembrance whenever you hear everybody else talk about it celebrate the good times i hope you know
i i hate that that is a part of this world and we hate that we have to do it anytime we have to do
a moment of silence we hate it yep we hope we never have to do it again exactly and there's a
genuine hope in this room that we never have to do it again for sure i'm not good with dealing with
my friends passing i've had numerous friends pass away family members pass away from whenever i'm
very young all the way through it i'm not good at it i always just try to channel like what the
celebration of that person would be what that person would be like at this situation and i
understand that fathers be a little bit different so shout out to all the people who lost their fathers
and had to go through the internet yesterday of everybody giving love.
But I hope you got a chance to celebrate them in their thoughts,
in their memories, and everything as well.
Beautiful weekend.
Great weekend.
Football started, didn't it?
Yeah.
Here we go.
You know, football happened a lot this weekend.
There was some big-time news around that Stephon Diggs conversation.
Oh, yeah.
And then Michael Lombardi jumps in with the fucking Leslie Frazier's out of there because
Sean McDermott called the plays for the 13 second drive that led to the loose.
And then he told him I'm calling plays again.
Leslie Frazier said, I'm not doing that.
And then Sean McDermott said, well, you can leave.
And then.
Whoa.
And he did.
And he left.
The Lombo Bombo.
That's pretty much what Lombo said, right?
Yes.
He said, I tell you on my podcast, Thursday, Monday, Sunday, Saturday.
The newsletter. He said, I'm like. Throw away Thursday, Monday, Sunday, Saturday. The newsletter.
He said, I'm like.
Throw away.
We were all like, yeah, just.
Yeah.
And remember, Leslie just kind of got sick of it and ran out of town.
He said, I'm not doing it anymore.
And he just leaves.
The internet responded this weekend.
Oh, yeah.
Not everybody agreed with Lombo or believed Lombo.
No.
But that is a story that none of us really talked about ever.
When it happened, we was kind of like, oh,
Leslie Frazier must be trying to take a break or something.
We hoped that nothing happened in his family.
That's an added wrinkle to the Stephon Diggs situation
that has seemingly been cleared.
They handle adversity well up there.
That was proven.
Has been proven last year.
Multiple times.
Seems like they're doing it again this offseason.
When is it just going to be smooth sailing up there?
It feels like maybe never.
It's crazy that the teams they've had haven't gone on to the success
that they were hoping for.
Obviously very good teams.
But I think it was surprising for all of us because we talked to Bean,
we talked to Josh, we talked to Poyer, we talked to McDermott,
and the culture feels –
Noxie.
Noxie, Mitch Morse, Vaughn.
Gabe Davis.
Gabe Davis.
So many – Micah.
So many Bills players.
And they all seem to be on the same page.
Love it.
Yeah, they love it.
And everything from the outside looking in,
like remember when they were dancing in the snow
before one of the playoff games that they were having?
Everything seemed to be perfect for Buffalo.
So I think when Lambeau said that, it just was out of left field.
And I don't know anybody.
It follows the Stephon Diggs.
Yeah, true.
So it's like three, four days worth of like.
Yeah, back to back. What's going on in Buffalo? Yes. So the Stefan Diggs. Right. Yeah, true. So it's like three, four days worth of like. Yeah, back to back.
What's going on in Buffalo?
Yes.
So the internet has responded.
They have said mostly that they don't believe that.
I think Lambeau has said that he's a thousand percent sure of that.
So we'll have Lambeau on again.
Yeah.
We will have Lambeau on again at some point.
But this is what he said about the Leslie Frazier situation.
And listen to us kind of get like very surprised that he's just dropping this out of nowhere.
You know, I think they have a lot of things going on.
Let's go back to Leslie Frazier's departure, the defensive coordinator, right?
You know, Sean McDermott wants to call the defensive plays.
And Leslie Frazier was in charge of that.
Now, let's even go further back.
13 seconds in Kansas City, McDermott took over the play calls on that drive
that resulted in a field goal.
That didn't sit well with Leslie.
The next year, he kept calling the defense.
But this year, McDermott wants to call the defense.
And Leslie, for whatever reason, he said no.
Look, that was the agreement we had.
So he decided to leave and take his sabbatical.
And so I think there's a little bit of an undercurrent there.
Hey, have you said this publicly before, what you just said there?
I said it on my podcast.
I said it on my podcast on the GM Shuffle.
I said it on, what day?
I think Thursday.
I think I said it yesterday or Monday.
I forget.
Yeah, I mean, a lot of different days they could potentially set it there with a lot of different times.
That's the first time I've heard that.
That's why you put it on a ticker.
So that's real.
He just said that out of nowhere. We're hoping everything's
okay up there, though.
We love the Buffalo Beals, but he said
that on Friday, a lot of drawback on the internet.
I feel like we're going to become a show of
letting people
know how people react to things that are said on this particular program because i know there's going to be some people that will refuse
to watch us once the for sure transition to espn happens i understand that there's people that made
that abundantly clear there's gonna be a lot of motherfuckers are gonna be watching this show
okay true with the layout that is currently still so what we knew was espn espn's youtube yep espn plus what in the
espn app right and then we knew there could be some replays on espn 2 espn news espn outrunner
that has all been a very fluid conversation still and there's different avenues opening up okay
yeah for the good of all parties you know whenever you do a deal with somebody especially if you're
able to kind of have open, flowing communication,
and if you're the one doing it too, by the way,
it makes it a lot easier to be able to be like,
hey, also, this could be a cool thing, I think, for you guys
and for us, it would help out.
But for the sake of the entire team, so I think we're going to be,
I think we're going to be in a lot of places.
Love that.
I think a lot of people are going to see us,
and I think everything we say is gonna be hurt okay so with that you know there's always gonna be the equal
and opposite reaction to things for sure and i can't wait to have to do what we have to do we
just did right there where we're like hey we're just letting you know the person that told us that
does not give a fuck what you say at all one thousand percent sure of it and he'll probably
be on this week again to reiterate the fact or with more facts.
And I can't wait for that entire dynamic with our show.
Just being on a constant one of these.
You know, because we are a crew that gives in a lot.
And if we're wrong, we'll say it.
Of course.
We've been wrong.
Yeah.
Many times.
All the time.
A couple times, yeah.
I mean, there's a lot of times where we have to be wrong because we're giving four different
examples that if one of them is, the other three are wrong.
Yep.
Exactly. So we're wrong
all the time. We will admit it. But when we
feel good about something, we're going to probably
dig our
heels. Yeah, get loud about it.
Yeah, we are.
Could have potentially happened with a guest that we're maybe going to
have today. Will not be having
I don't believe. And the other thing about
Lombardi, potentially having.
Hey, that's a whole other thing.
You people burying us about being sellouts and everything,
I understand why you're saying what you're saying
because it feels like you understood
how where we're going into works a little bit better
than maybe I did with some of the people.
Like people that are publicists for people,
trying to book people on shows.
Those conversations,
I had no idea how those went
between publicists and show hosts.
I will let everybody know, though,
that the way they might have once sounded,
they will never sound like that again,
at least here with us.
Yeah, in this building.
It will be a detriment to our show, though.
We will lose out.
Well, some guests.
We will lose out on some guests
because of sure but i ain't ever having somebody say you're allowed to ask one thing about this
you're allowed to ask one thing about this and then we need four things about this that's not
real how's that happen how has that been accepted how does that person even think they're allowed to
fucking do that to somebody that hosts the show and has their own interview and has their name on the fucking show that's good i don't even know how
that has become a thing but i know for the good of everybody i'm gonna try to stamp that out so
the next generation doesn't have to expect that as something that is real because it's not that
is not real you've never done an interview you're booking somebody in an interview you are booking
somebody into a conversation.
You suck at conversation.
I would assume when people talk to you,
they think to themselves, you're a bad conversation.
So why do you think you
should be driving conversation for anybody?
And that's a conversation we had this morning.
It wasn't the first or the last
time. Nope.
Which is no.
Sorry about it.
This is a new norm.
Joining us now, new norm.
This guy is the NBA insider of tomorrow.
Hell yeah.
He is from the stadium, the athletic, Fandle TV,
and I believe he owns SeanSharanyaLunch.com.
He does.
An absolute dog who's incredibly handsome,
who has all the news and inside information for the association
that had some big breaking news this past weekend ladies and gentlemen sham shiraya
shams what's going on oatmeal today type of day that's the type of day it is this week
next week we're putting forks in the oatmeal today hard hat lunch pail what fork in oatmeal
hell yeah absolutely love it chums
there's a lot going on let's dive into the biggest news of the weekend although i heard that draymond
green just maybe broke some news as well we'll get into that afterwards chris paul allegedly has
been traded from the suns to the wizards for bradley beal and some other pieces now chris paul
was allegedly the reason why the deal was held up because I was told that he is going to play in Phoenix or Los Angeles.
So I'm getting traded to D.C. was a wild part of this entire thing.
What do we know? How do we get here? Beals go into the Suns. What else do we know?
Is that is that PM sources right now? Just just just drop them.
No, that was Wendy. Wendy said that. Wendy said that last week on the program.
Wendy, have you ever talked to him? Do you know each other?
I do know Brian Windhorst. Brian Windhorst holds a special place in my heart.
Hell yeah.
I feel like he found me early. That's all I'll say. He found me early.
Hell yeah.
Wow, hey, Wendy.
He came in here and did an entire tribute speech to A.J. Hawk, first thing he said,
so he won us over quickly, but he said that he believes chris paul would only play in phoenix or la where his family is so when he gets traded
to washington i think we're all pretty surprised what do we know where are we going yeah i mean
it's sensible i mean either he was going to go back to phoenix on a minimum contract or he was
end up going to the lakers or the clippers and that pathway is still open so yeah beal gets traded
uh for chris paul landry shammett two guys that
were not going to be back on the sun so the sun's basically got bradley beal for a handful of second
round picks as well as a couple draft pick swaps so not a bad deal i mean on paper it looks like a
no-brainer um but for for the wizards their hands were really tied because brad beal had a no trade
clause in the nba there have been i think 10 players in league history ever to have a no trade clause.
So that essentially let Bradley Beal pick his destination.
And they had,
the Wizards had better offers,
but they ended up going with,
with the sons.
That's where Bradley Beal wanted to be.
He chose that team and everyone recruited him.
Matt Ishby,
the owner,
James Jones,
the president of the team,
Frank Bogle,
the head coach,
Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, all hitting them up, all telling him we want you in phoenix and he ends up going
there now chris paul his future is a little bit more up in the air because now the one thing is
i think pat chris paul is the big winner in all this he gets he was only guaranteed 15 million
for next season now he's guaranteed his full 30.8 million. So yesterday was a $15 million day for Chris Paul on top of the 15 he already had owed to him.
So I feel good about Chris.
For Washington?
I think we should all feel good.
Well, whoever, either Washington will pay him out or whatever team they trade him to will give him that full $30.8 million.
So if he just got waived by Phoenix, he would have only ended up with $15 million.
So, you know So on this show
We love when people get paid
So Chris Paul yesterday got his $30 million
In the bank
And I think now what you're going to see is the Wizards are going to talk to the Clippers
I think they're going to talk to the Warriors
They're going to talk to a couple teams here
And see if there's a fit for them
If there's a trade potentially that can get done for Chris Paul
To go back to the West Coast
Okay well congrats on the $30 million Chris
I believe he's got a book coming out as well.
Good luck on the book launch.
I'm excited for him for that whole thing.
So in Phoenix, it'll be Devin Booker running point there.
Bradley Beal will be shooting guard.
How will that whole thing work, or do you think they bring in a point guard
to kind of distribute to all the shooters?
A lot of weapons there now all of a sudden, right?
A lot of guys that take a lot of shots.
A lot of weapons for sure, and DeAndre will be your fourth best player on this team and we'll see if he's going
to be there i do think one thing pat that has happened since this trade is phoenix has been
getting a lot of calls on deandre in the last uh 12 to 18 hours teams seeing if now deandre is a
little bit more attainable so we'll see if he going to be back on the team or not next year. But as of right now, I do think Devin Booker is going to play a lot of time
at point guard.
But there's a weird flexibility with this team.
I mean, Devin Booker can bring the ball up.
Bradley Beal can bring the ball up.
Kevin Durant can bring the ball up.
Like these guys are all playmakers.
Frank Vogel.
Matt Ishbia.
Matt Ishbia was point guard on Michigan State.
Boom.
Could he?
Hell yeah. Player, owner. Jackie Byr State. Boom. Could he? Hell yeah.
Player, owner.
Jackie Byrne.
Get the funk out of my face.
Get the funk out of my face.
Get the funk.
Get the gorilla out there maybe.
Oh, hey, I saw a highlight reel of that motherfucker on the internet this weekend.
He is a dog.
Oh, yeah.
Now they posted a picture of me with my eyes closed.
Yeah.
Completely, you know, it was not my greatest day, but I was in altitude.
What's the reason for that?
Bright flash.
You were blinking.
It was late at night.
It was late at night.
I was tired.
I was tired.
It was mid-break.
Well, and also, like, the way Ishpia runs his business, you know, they brought in one
of those big lamplights.
Uh-huh.
Exactly.
You know what I mean?
Like DJ Khaled had when he was jumping off his boat this weekend.
I don't know if you saw that.
He had another little boat that had a lamplight on it.
That's real.
That happened this weekend.
That's awesome.
It was sick.
I love that.
But that's what Ishbia did.
Ishbia brought in their social media.
I've never seen it before.
I'm like, holy shit.
Is this the 30s or is this the most awesome thing of all time?
14 lamplights.
So when that photo went, and the gorilla's obviously not going to get it.
It was bright. Also, I was high as fuck,
Sean.
You buried the lead.
Yeah, also bright, bright, bright flag.
Very bright. Okay, let's
stay in the West, though. You just broke news.
Draymond Green declining his $27.5
million player option
to rejoin the Golden State Warriors.
That's via Cl sport ceo rich
paul telling sham sharanya so he's going to get more money than that or he's just looking to go
somewhere else because the young crew and he are actually fist fighting each other so much so that
steph curry has to say if you want to fucking wing it on the bus if you don't stay off what is the
deal here where's he go so it's a little bit more of a formality
because this is what's going to happen with Draymond Green.
He's going to get a more lucrative contract, more years.
The Warriors want to re-sign Draymond Green to a multi-year contract.
I reported that right after the Warriors season ended.
I think when the punch happened last year, there was a lot of talk.
Is this the end for Draymond Green with the Warriors, et cetera?
Are they going to run it back?
The Warriors want to bring Jeremiah Green back.
I think you're looking at a multi-year deal for Jeremiah Green,
potentially to go back.
I don't know if it will reach $27.5 million per year,
but he's going to be in line for a lucrative deal.
The thing is, though, is between now and free agency,
when it begins June 30th, July 1,
there's other contenders that are going to come into competition
with the Warriors for Draymond Green.
We know statistically he's not going to put up double-doubles,
and he's not going to be a guy that's going to wow you statistically.
But this is a guy that we know, four-time champion.
He does a lot of stuff in terms of leadership.
He does a lot of stuff on the court that goes beyond the stat sheet.
And you know what I'm curious about? Which young
team takes a run at Draymond
Green, a guy that can really come in and change
the culture? He's one
young team with talent.
I'm curious to see who ends up
coming up. So Dylan Brooks is trying to be Draymond
Green. Allegedly. That's
what everybody's telling me. I don't know Dylan Brooks personally,
aside from the fact he had a nice black tank top on
and it seemed like to be a very well-dressed man who pissed off every human on earth.
Yep.
And then he also made LeBron James go bananas as if he was 24 years old again.
Yep.
That's what I know about Dylan Brooks.
They say he could be that Draymond Green type guy, though.
So you're saying Draymond Green to Memphis.
Is that what you're saying?
I'm saying, I mean, Memphis is the mold, for sure,
of the type of team that I think Draymond Green,
I mean, think about it.
If you're young, you're up and coming,
you've got leadership voice potentially on your roster.
I mean, Draymond Green, you can slide him in.
I mean, Sacramento, they just lost to the Warriors.
A team like, I'm not saying the Kings have interest,
but like that's the mold of a team young up and coming has
a lot of potential and if you're able to slide him in we've heard damian lillard talk for years
about wanting to play with jaymond green and so i'm just saying there's a lot of potential for
jaymond green i think in this marketplace either going back to the warriors on a fresh new contract
and i think jaymond green he's he spoke right after the season ended i want to retire with
the warriors i'm gonna be here the rest of my career but now you're you're a free agent we'll and I think Draymond Green, he spoke right after the season ended. I want to retire with the Warriors.
I want to be here the rest of my career.
But now you're a free agent.
We'll see what happens.
All right, well, good luck to everybody.
I hope Draymond Green gets another massive deal.
Love seeing players get paid, Sean.
Love seeing it.
His podcast is great, too.
Going to get paid for that.
For sure.
Speaking of podcasts, Ben Simmons, who runs Spotify's sports podcast and is one of their executives, it came out that Zion, okay, from a good source of Ben Simmons,
Zion would not be on the Pelicans by Thursday is what his source is telling him
inside the New Orleans Pelicans facility.
We've heard a lot of rumblings here, and obviously you said maybe Brandon Ingram to Charlotte
is more of a conversation than Zion last week whenever we chatted with you.
But since then, I've seen the internet say,
Pelicans and Zion don't really have any communication right now.
There's a lot going on with Zion, obviously.
And this too shall pass, pal.
You'll be okay.
Do everything right from here on out.
This will just be a little blip in the entire radar.
Don't even worry about it.
Legacy could still be fantastic.
But now we're here and he's not even talked to him.
Maybe he'll go to somewhere.
What is going on with Zion and why by Thursday?
Is that a date that we need to know?
Well, Thursday is the NBA draft.
And the Pelicans, like we talked about, they want to draft Scoot Henderson.
And the only way they can draft Scoot Henderson is if they get into the top two or three.
So if you want to get that high, you're going to have to give something up.
They have pick 14.
That's not going to be high enough. They have a bunch of future first but to my
knowledge, Charlotte, Portland, they're not looking for a
package of pick 14 and future first. So Brandon Ingram would
be a conversation starter for sure. I'm a little less sure
about Zion Williamson. But listen, to my knowledge, they
haven't formally offered Zion Williamson. They haven't
formally offered Brandon Ingram. I think but you there's a realization with the Pelicans that if you're going to get that high up to go get a Scoot Henderson,
you have to give up one of those two guys.
And I think the Pelicans aren't there yet.
And Zion Williamson has been around the facility.
He was there last week.
He's met with David Griffin.
He's met with Gail Benson ownership over the last few weeks.
There's been regular communication on that level.
But listen, it's the offseason.
Guys are always going to be scattered.
Listen, I think any time the Pelicans season ended the way it ended,
you have to be flexible.
You have to be thinking about all these names.
And they didn't reach the goal that they wanted last season.
So that's the byproduct of what we're seeing now.
Connor has a question for you.
Shams, another team that didn't reach their goal, the Boston Celtics.
Oh!
Oh!
Sorry about it.
Oh!
They lost their eighth seed.
Yeah.
I don't want to give you the Shaq treatment today.
Oh, shut up, John.
The Southeast is going to break up their team.
I'm seeing a lot of reports that are saying not Jalen, not Tatum,
but maybe Smart is on the move.
Maybe some of the other role players they have.
Is that a realistic possibility? And if they are, who would they be going after?
I would look at their backcourt.
I think there's clearly a little bit of a glut there.
I think they'd love to keep Marcus Smart.
I think that's a guy that, as far as leadership, he's part of the core there.
But in terms of Derek White, Malcolm Brogdon,
that's really the only route to get better.
I mean, if you're going to add your frontcourt,
I don't know about the future of Grant Williams.
There's a lot of interest in Grant Williams.
He's going to be a restricted free agent.
So I'm curious to see where Ho
wind up in restricted
free agency. But overall, I would
look at, if they're going to make a move,
it's going to be a backcourt guy,
potentially, and then trying to upgrade in the frontcourt.
Ty? Shams, what about Damian Lillard?
We saw a lot of stuff coming out that's saying
Jimmy Butler's recruiting him to go to the Heat.
It almost seems like that's kind of a
done deal. He's kind of been adamant that he doesn't want to leave Portland for a long time,
but everyone's kind of said, like, hey, this guy needs to get the hell out of there
because they're not doing what they need to do to kind of maximize his potential.
Is him going to Miami kind of a done deal, it seems?
I mean, not a full done deal, but, I mean, listen, if Damian Lillard got out of Portland
and if there was a trade to be had, there were destinations,
no question Miami would be at the top of them, just like it was for Brad Beal.
Their team, we saw what happened in the finals.
I do think they believe they're one piece away, one major piece away.
And so from everything I've heard, Damian Lillard would be at the top of their list
if he becomes available.
That's the question.
But right now, it's really up to Portland. Dam Damon Lillard has really left it up to Portland. He wants to be there. He wants that team
to get better. So they have the number three pick in the draft. They have the number, I think,
23rd pick in the draft. They have Anthony Simons. What can you go get in the marketplace to make
this team better? And if nothing comes about, then I do think Damon Lillard will have to look
very hard at his future in Portland.
But if they do make the team better between now and Thursday and on Thursday night,
then I think you'll see Damian Lillard be there.
So as much as I think people want to make Damian Lillard, it's really on Portland.
Balls in Portland's court.
Yeah, it is.
Right here, they're doing this.
Don't be scared to dribble it out, okay?
You're afraid.
Why are you afraid?
Come on.
You've got Damian Lillard right there.
Third pick, Brandon Miller, the kid from Alabama.
How about Damian Lillard say, go ahead, do it.
Make the team better.
Thursday.
Please, get it done.
It's also hard not to pick one of those guys, though.
I mean, Brandon Miller, those are high-level talents.
And so if you're Portland, you have a guy that's on the other side of 30,
clearly looking to compete and contend.
If Portland's not on that trajectory, listen, publicly they're saying all the right things.
We'll see.
I mean, actions always speak louder than words, and we're going to see in the next few days.
Hey, three guys allegedly going to be guys in the NBA.
Is this a normal draft class happening on Thursday, obviously?
You know what's crazy is I've heard more activity in this year's draft than in years.
As far as teams trying to move up, teams trying to get high picks.
The amount of players that I've heard being offered for top picks
or being in discussions for top picks, I think is definitely more star players
that have been offered or discussed to be offered.
I mean, it's definitely more than the years past.
Well, that's because that new CBA with the player tax where if you keep them on team,
you're going to have to pay some sort of blah, blah, blah.
It feels like it's almost kind of pushing for your third, fourth guys
to almost be on the move a little bit more.
Build around top two.
We shall see.
I don't want to go into the weeds of your sport,
but can if I need to.
Tone has a question for you, Sean.
Sean, I just saw from ESPN's Tim McMahon that potentially Jaws,
Camp, and Jaw feel that the NBA
and the media are out to get them.
That can't be fucking right, right, right?
It can't be fucking right?
That can't be right.
Fucking right.
I haven't heard that, but listen, I mean.
Well, you just dunked on Tim McMahon?
Whoa, Sean.
Whoa, Sean, he works at ESPN.
Yeah, biting off a little more than he can chew.
God, thanks for making it easy for us going over there, Sean.
I'm just saying I haven't heard that.
But listen, you look at the incidents that have taken place.
You had a couple incidents last summer in Memphis.
You had the high school kid.
You had the laser being pointed in your city in Indianapolis.
You have the video in the strip club in Denver
with the vanishing of the gun.
What's wrong with that?
Sounds like you're part of the problem.
He's allowed smack cheeks out here, they said,
but tell him not to be reckless with the gun.
Is that four?
Is that four incidents?
I mean...
You're part of the problem.
That's why you're not getting in.
That's why Tim McMahon's getting in.
Because you're part of the problem. Sue him. I'm's getting the information. Because you're part of the problem.
I'm just saying there's been four incidents.
That's all I said.
So we all agree.
We're on your side.
Him.
For three of us.
Come on, bro.
It can't be one or the other because if the NBA is out to get you,
they would give you more games than 25 games.
The amount of memes I saw about David Stern with that.
The bottle where he spits it up with what Adam Silver did,
what he would have done.
And then on the other side, the media,
it's either
one or the other.
The NBA would give you more. Media thinks you should have
got more. So it can't be both are against you.
One side or the other would be against you.
Feels like he's talking about this guy.
Yeah, for sure. I don't think the NBA is against
Jha because I think the NBA knows, hey,
NBA is better with Jha, but hey, Bub,
30% of the season,
$10 million in payment. You're
going to be out. Let's figure it the fuck out.
Hopefully he's able to do that. That's a stat that comes
from Shams. Last question for me, Shams,
and I would like this to be,
you know, because I just heard Adele's boyfriend,
Rich Paul, is the one who gave you
the information about Draymond Green on
the thing. Interesting. And I don't want to set fire
to the rain, but I do need to know, okay, what's LeBron all about? How come he can't just take
what Michael Malone said as a hilarious thing that took place in proper context, where Conor
asked him about it, brought it up, he makes a joke, he moves on. LeBron, you know who I am a
massive fan of, I actually commented on this thing, hell yeah.
When he said in Europe for the last past few weeks,
minding my business, and I hear I'm on your mind that much, huh?
I mean, I guess I see why.
He looks good in this photo.
But wave the flag on these lames.
Please make being player cool again,
because the lame machine is at an all-time high.
Enjoy your life, but just know I'm the son.
Hey, bar.
Yeah.
He needs to start talking shit like that.
He needs to start using that one more.
We need an album.
We need an album is what we need.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
He does lyrics to every song, too, so his own would be fucking awesome.
So good.
He said, I stay on forever.
Wink, salute, pray hands, king.
We got a lot of respect for LeBron over here.
But also, like, I mean, can't just let. We got a lot of respect for LeBron over here.
But also, like, I mean, can't just let this guy have a little fun?
Can't just let this guy pass? LeBron and Michael Malone, Michael Malone very close, though.
So I will say that.
They have a good relationship.
LeBron's praised Michael Malone in the past.
I mean, listen, anytime LeBron's in offseason mode,
you know you're going to get some bars.
You know you're going to get some nice speeches on the gram.
I'm here for it.
I'm here for Michael Malone.
I'm happy for Michael Malone.
I just chalk it up to two people that, you know, like to have a little bit of fun in the offseason.
Oh, yeah, that's what we wish LeBron would have done.
It feels like that was not, you know, that felt like he was actually mad.
He was actually mad about Michael Malone did.
It's like, yo, you're fucking LeBron.
You are LeBron James.
Who cares?
You're like top three all time, all time in everybody's conversation.
You know, I'm thinking, I'm thinking one just personally,
but we're playing two different sports.
Him and Michael Jordan playing two different sports.
You know what I mean?
There's guys dribbling like this in that last dance documentary.
For sure.
They haven't figured out basketball as well as they have basketball now.
Impossible to judge the two.
The absolute same.
Michael Jordan would be great now.
LeBron would be great then.
Two different sports.
The best.
Top two, my eyes.
But there's other people that put in Wilt and everybody else.
Yeah, Will Russell.
And everything else that takes place.
So, you're LeBron James, though.
Let Michael Malone have this drunk as fuck moment
and then just keep it moving.
He took it personally, almost.
Look out for LeBron in 2024.
That's all he needed.
He needs motivation.
He needs motivation.
This is the Utah restaurant.
I think he was joking, though, LeBron.
Anyways, ladies and gentlemen,
the insider for FanDuel TV, the Athletic and Stadium, a man who's Anyways, ladies and gentlemen, the insider for Fando TV,
the Athletic and Stadium, a man who's on it all the way up to the draft
on Thursday night, which we knew about, Sean Geronimo.
Yay!
We missed that.
So that's on Thursday?
Yeah, I forgot about that.
We would have caught up Wednesday.
Yeah, we would have figured it out.
Yeah, because the amount of clips about Wemby that is just going to be
on the internet.
Oh, yeah.
Probably starting today, I guess.
Yeah, definitely. That will be on the internet. Oh yeah. Probably starting today, I guess. Yeah, definitely.
That'll be a conversation on NBA Today Live.
So, they were talking about this on TV.
They wouldn't want to announce the Joss suspension on
the week of the draft.
So, like Monday, today.
The NFL would.
The NFL would be like, okay,
we'll announce suspension, then we'll
showcase who Wemby is, then we'll have our draft, and on Friday, by the way, we'll announce suspension. Then we'll showcase who Wemby is.
Then we'll have our draft.
And on Friday, by the way, we'll look back on the suspension
and the whole week that was.
Like, that's how the NFL just takes over every fucking day.
People on TV that seem to know the NBA a little bit better were like,
they don't want to drop the suspension on what's supposed to be a celebration week.
I respect it.
Dropping it out last week, smart play, I guess.
Smart play, kind of get it hidden,
but it's still going to be a conversation piece all week.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, offseason's going to be a conversation piece,
especially with what you were saying there.
You asked a question about Shams from a Tim McMahon report on ESPN.
Jha and his team are literally saying that?
What do you mean?
I didn't know that he was saying that.
He said the tweet was that he said that he heard that Jha's camp
and Jha were saying that the media and NBA were out to get them.
So maybe like in-house just trying to make each other feel better?
Yeah.
You know, they're sitting in their house like, ah, they're fucking us.
I can't actually think that, right?
No, but I'm saying like maybe it's just a personal conversation that was happening
to try to get everybody through the situation that they're in.
Like, we know they're going to, you know they're going to say this on TV.
You know the NBA is going to have to make a statement.
Like maybe they're just trying to like personally get through it.
And somebody that was in that personal conversation was like,
listen to what they were saying publicly about the whole thing.
So context matters there.
But they need not be saying that.
No, not at all.
They need not be saying that at all.
I've heard indirectly that John has people close and people close to John.
Perhaps people formerly close to John.
Oh, the people that are filming him with a gun.
Have this feeling that the NBA out to get them feeling that the NBA is out to get them,
that the media is out to get them.
So maybe this is before this incident too.
So maybe after his cheeks in Indiana Pacer laser
and anything else where he got into a fight,
maybe all those events is when they were talking about
the NBA media out to get him.
Because maybe now after this last event
where he's just recklessly brandishing a gun while driving. Unless you're allowed to have
a gun. Okay? Not in Massachusetts.
Yeah, depending where you go.
Not in Massachusetts. In an airport.
Not in any airport.
Yeah, any airport. Unless you work there
as a person who's supposed to have a gun.
You can get guns. You can
ship them. Yeah. Check them.
Check guns. Yeah, before.
No, no. You can go in. Check them. You have to get it certified yeah before yeah yeah no no you can go in check
them you have to get it uh certified and everything like that yeah so you can have guns in area not a
carry-on yeah not not like through the security not fully loaded yeah loaded two of them no yeah
in massachusetts can't do that yeah massachusetts is like one of the harshest
states in the whole thing anyways but back to uh. Maybe they did feel like, and now he's actually feeling
remorse about it all, and maybe
he'll change. And maybe this will be
the last time that we have to say, Ja's being
an idiot. And then whenever he stops
doing that, it's going to be a feel-good story.
You hope that because he is so young that
there are so many more years
going forward where he can
completely flip this narrative.
To what Sean said, a guy like Draymond Green coming in
for those first 25 games without Ja will be pretty huge.
But when he says the media, does he include all the memes
that are being sent around?
Because those aren't technically media.
Those are just in good fun and they're funny.
Those are just humans.
Yes.
With access to the internet and creative brains.
Yes, and loud.
There's some terrible memes out there.
Absolutely.
There's bad jokes on the internet all over the place.
There's bad jokes in stand-up comedy clubs.
But then whenever you see the good ones,
you know, the sun isn't as bright if it isn't for the darkest dawn.
That's right.
So we need the shitty memes and the shitty jokes on the internet
to showcase how good the good ones are.
With Jaws case, it did feel as if it was an all-star game of memes makers.
Yeah. And they all came out in one. Jaws case, it did feel as if it was an all-star game of memes makers.
They all came out in one and boy, they were really going
back to back.
Back to back.
NBA memes are normally
pretty good.
Their all-star team over there on NBA Twitter,
boy, some of the best
on the whole.
They can play.
They are at the top.
They play all four seasons.
82 games.
Yeah, and they're marathoners too.
They are sprinting marathoners.
They're on the internet all the time.
Bingo.
It is.
There isn't a take that isn't getting got.
Nope.
By the highest of brains.
Oh, yeah.
For the internet.
We should give a little shout out to that, actually.
Yeah.
NBA Twitter, shout out.
Keep it going, NBA Twitter. Keep it going. Seriously, it is the best. We should give a little shout out to that, actually. NBA Twitter, shout out. Keep it going, NBA Twitter.
Keep it going. Seriously, it is the best.
We truly appreciate you. Sometimes our clips
will get in there. Just hang on.
You're about to go on a ride. I'm getting cooked
by 15 different people.
But then there's a couple that put us over and make me feel
good. Oh, yeah. As they should.
It's a great part of Twitter. Congrats, NBA Twitter.
Way to go, NBA. Love you, NBA Twitter.
And there's people saying Twitter was going to die.
You think fucking NBA Twitter was going to let Twitter die?
Well, they were saying that this weekend, too.
They'll put the goddamn app on their back if they have to.
Yes, they will.
And they have.
And they have.
Yeah.
And they have.
And they have.
To your point about Jot, too, though, like, he's lucky he didn't get 50 games.
Like, he had two massive fuck-ups get two strikes in like three months
like i i understand he's young he's the face but like the way adam silver was talking like this
this should be a wake-up call it's like no one's out to get you dude but if you fuck up again
like you're screwed yeah i mean it's just as simple as that and hopefully repercussions are
understood right sometimes people just never get it you know there's a bunch of people that have
been out there with what ifs
because they make decisions that are poor continually and continually and continually.
If you've ever played in any sport at a high level,
you've seen a lot of guys that have been incredibly talented,
have all of the things that you could potentially need to become a superstar,
to have generational wealth at a sport.
You could have it.
Just makes bad decisions.
Just can't do it right.
That's actually a thing.
Can't do right. Like it is,
hey, this guy right here has every gift in the world.
Other people are envious of the things
that this human has and can do.
But this person doesn't even realize that it's a gift.
Has no idea that other
people would dream of having what they have
until it's normally too late. So whenever they're
making some decisions or other, I mean, fuck degree i mean i was walking around drunk on a
tuesday in the middle of football she's doing that sure i have one of 32 jobs there's people
that wish that they could bomb a ball the way that i was bombing it and we're training year
round and i was treating it as if it was just some fucking thing that i was lucky to have
i had to have that moment on october 20th 2010 i do believe i had to have that moment on October 20th, 2010, I do believe. I had to have that moment to kind of make me realize,
like, okay, this will all go real wrong real quick.
Fast.
And then, boom, you change.
That's why after the first public incident with Ja,
he doesn't change, you get a little bit worried.
But not everybody can change after one big incident.
Sometimes it takes a couple.
We have Pac-Man Jones on the show every single week.
There's a guy that was given numerous opportunities,
had to be given numerous opportunities,
and now I think anybody that's known him since he's like 17 years old 18 years old through now
incredibly proud of the human that he has become but had to hit a rock bottom had to lose some
stuff and had to change his ways or he'd just be another motherfucker out on the street i mean that
shit happens all the time we hope jaw isn't the next one on that list now there's a guy up in new
england that might oh man, man, I know.
Hey, this is not good.
No, at all.
So if you did not see this weekend, JJ.
Jack Jones.
Jack Jones, corner for the New England Patriots.
A man who took back a pick six against Aaron Rodgers this past season.
Incredible talent.
He's on the New England Patriots defense.
Very young, playing meaningful minutes.
Bill Belichick believes in his ability.
That means we should believe in his ability.
He is an absolute dog on the football field this past weekend.
He got arrested at Logan International, which is Boston's, I believe,
for attempting to bring two firearms on plane.
Two of them loaded, 10 bullets in each magazine.
I believe that is another part of the law in the entire thing.
Massachusetts carries a two-and-a 20 year mandatory sentence if found guilty or with public
without a license and especially at the airport or whatever unchecked now there's people that
take bags grab them quick boom run to the airport my fear used to be especially now with how it's
legal in some states not legal in other states is I'm going to have in a side pocket somewhere.
I'm going to have a bunch of edibles in there that I just stuffed in while I was in Colorado.
And as soon as you put it onto the conveyor belt and it starts rolling, it gets out of reach.
You immediately go, oh, I got weed in there.
Oh, my God.
Happened to me in England coming back from the international game against the Jacksonville Jaguars
when I found out very late into the bus ride from the stadium to the airport there called Heathrow International
that we were flying commercial and not charter.
That means we were going through their TSA.
We were going through the entire thing.
So the story's been documented.
I had like 15, 20 edibles because I had a bunch of things for everybody.
There was a cop sitting up in the front by the garbage can of the bus.
So I was kind of in a bad spot.
So literally, as soon as I put the thing up on a conveyor belt,
I have a few hundred milligrams rolling through my body, obviously.
We just lost the Jacksonville Jaguars.
I put the thing up on there.
It starts going.
I immediately go, oh, no, there's a whole other batch, potentially,
in another little side thing. This is about to be international now yeah right this international thing i've seen
locked up abroad which is almost all drug smuggling things they go through there they pull my bag
they pull my oh no i'm going to jail i'm starting to trip balls too i'm in a few hundred milligrams
yeah obviously that's gonna happen so vinatari i'm like yo yo this might be real bad and vinny watched me eat all of those things at the same exact time so he's kind of riding
wave with me he's it out there at sea level i am obviously much much much much higher for this
entire thing they pull my bag oh no vinny i think even starts to get worried but cool vinny clutch
this guy of all time he's like we're all right buddy we're all right buddy we go over there
turns out it was just some toothpaste thing going on with it, whatever.
They pull that.
They throw it away.
Big laughs.
Zipper that thing up.
We're going to our gate.
At that moment, I could have been fucking arrested for international smuggling, so many different things.
Think of the headlines that that could have been.
So that does happen, I think, where people forget that they have something in their bag.
Two guns is a tough thing to forget that you have in your bag strictly because how heavy
it would fucking be and also you're gonna bump into that accidentally whenever you're putting
something in there so this is gonna be a tough one for him to explain in the worst state no one of
the worst top five yeah one of the worst top five worst states to have this happen for and this guy's
career is probably fucked because of this and i am incredibly bummed that the nfl is potentially
going to lose out on a talent like this guy yeah it's super sad like as a patriots fan obviously
you want him to be on the field especially when up until this point everyone was talking about you
know christian gonzalez the first round pick we had paired with jack jones we would have a pretty
elite secondary and he already was one of if not the best player in our secondary last year.
But then the other fact of it is what you're saying too,
which is kind of where I went, is that he's a 25-year-old kid.
He hasn't really hit even his full potential,
and he's already so good at football, and now this happens.
I think he had a $30,000 bond, so he's out.
But he has to obviously go to court this week,
so we probably will hear more of the legal side of it.
And the Patriots, you know, they released a statement,
but they're still waiting to gather more information.
But all signs are pointing to it just being very, very bad.
And unfortunately, this tweet was also kind of making its rounds,
and people were making their jokes,
but it really just is a terrible situation for Jack Jones. Yeah, Jackones tweeted to jaw like hey it's dumb to be flashing your gun social media
is like ruining you get your money and everything like that you the breadwinner you got to start
acting like that and i believe because we didn't know that jack jones was potentially walking
around with two guns he was sticking to his words yeah yeah right i think we do know that now with
that being said sounds like he was talking to josh somebody like hey i understand what you're going through there's a reason he
has two guns on him okay that's also another full conversation why he thinks he has to have it who
he thinks where he's from is this just natural for him we can get into all those conversations
but what we do know is gonna be tough to say you forgot it was in your bag whenever there's two of them
fully strapped that's a tough this is going to be a tough case you just got to hope that
you know a the guns were never used for anything yes that's a whole nother we learned that with
aaron hernandez right exactly another new england patriot yeah we're gonna hope the guns purchased
legally nothing no fuckery yeah no crimes were done within him i assume if that
was the case he wouldn't have been able to get out on thirty thousand dollars right but now we just
got to hope that there is some sort of maybe it was a big bet and maybe it was hidden in a
compartment that obviously the cops could say well he's trying to hide it and he could say
i didn't know it was still in there and you get a judge or somebody that's like, hey, this guy's life, from where it was to where he is to what he could potentially be,
isn't worth this slip-up for being ruined forever.
Because two and a half to 20 years is a lot of fucking time.
So long.
That's a lot of time in jail, especially in the prime of your athleticism.
And I know he made this dumb mistake.
I hope this isn't what ruins this guy's fucking life.
And it feels like it could be.
And he did have problems in college. I believe he was at usc he got in trouble had to transfer he ended
up at arizona state so it is one of those situations where he does have somewhat of a past
and you mentioned kind of the 10 round magazine i wonder if it was just a standard like 12 round
typical for the gun or if it was some sort of 24 extendo.
Yeah, because I also think that could be a factor.
Somebody gifted me a 100 barrel.
Yeah, exactly.
And I said, what is this?
What's this for?
You can fit 100 in there, 50 on this side, 50 on this side.
Should I have that?
A hundred? For what? I don't.
100?
For what?
Yeah, yeah.
It's pretty sick.
I'm like, that has to be so fucking heavy. Oh, my God.
I mean, how heavy that thing has to be.
I took it to a gun range one time, and I said, I don't need this anymore,
but it was a very nice gift.
But it was at that moment I realized, I should not have it.
Why should I have this?
And then I started thinking to myself,
you know what, if some of these zombies start just coming to the backyard.
There's 500 of them.
Me and my wife, I toss her
one, little baby Mackenzie
toss her one, and then we're just
standing back to back to back on the rooftop.
Protect us ass.
If we get to that point, we're all fucked.
If I'm shooting for us, we're in a bad spot.
Someone want to have a conversation.
You know what I mean?
Let's talk about this.
We're dead.
You're on a lake, too.
Everyone knows zombies can't go into the water.
They can't swim.
You guys hop on that jet ski.
You guys just hang out on the lake.
Is that real?
I don't know anything about zombies.
All the stuff that I've seen.
That one on The Last of Us came up out of the pipes.
True.
Big one.
Yeah, big zombie.
Oh, yeah.
What was that thing called?
No more running water.
I don't know.
Bloater?
Yeah, Mushroom Man or something.
Mushroom Man!
Take some phone calls
on the 500 phone line.
1-833-432-3663.
1-833-4...
DUN-DUN!
Jack, we hope you end up,
you know,
being a super good human.
We are a little bit worried about why you think you need to be carrying around two guns to yourself.
We hope everything's okay in that front.
And we hope there is an empathetic judge or jury.
Yes.
Hope this lands in front of those people.
There's a chance it doesn't.
Especially in Massachusetts, like you guys mentioned. front of those people because really he there's a chance it doesn't oh especially in massachusetts
like you guys are mentioned and mass that this isn't taken lightly in any sense especially
at logan airport everything's about you know
just not his life i mean that he's 25 my if he gets a five-year sentence, he's 30.
Corner, it's over.
And he was really unbelievable last year.
You got to make sure, yeah.
Especially if it is a situation where he just completely forgot they were in there.
Yes.
You know?
Probably did.
Definitely did.
Right?
You're not trying to carry on two guns.
You would think, especially when you tweet something like that about a job.
Bro, two guns, though, is a tough thing to say you didn't know was there.
It is, for sure.
But, you know, I mean, it's possible.
Young guy, you don't make a mistake.
But just something, like, completely innocuous.
Like, oh, my God, I cannot believe I did that.
And then now, like, they don't care.
As it's getting pulled, his bag, and he's realizing, he's watching the thing.
Wrong bag. I grabbed the wrong bag oh my god oh fuck
it's over and i'm in jail and then a lawyer's telling me as i'm sitting in front of the judge
in the jail which i had to do the judge tells you what the maximum punishment is potentially
that's your first time hearing it i had some some things to say. What? They were talking about a year in jail
for public intoxication?
A year in jail?
I was just trying to get home.
What are we talking about?
Please, bite down, sir.
Somebody,
anybody gonna explain this?
Imagine him sitting there
first time hearing what it is.
Cover,
carries a mandatory
two and a half to 20 year sentence.
Does that mean like
you can't plead it down?
I assume, but I think. Yeah, I like you can't plead it down? I assume.
But I think.
Yeah, I didn't see the mandatory.
I wasn't sure.
I think it said, the tweet I read.
Okay.
Said mandatory.
But you would hope he'd be able to get out of it.
Community service, that whole thing.
Or they say no.
Or it's two years.
You carried two guns fully loaded into an airport.
That can't happen.
Yeah.
Why weren't your guns in a safe?
Why were they just in a bag that you could accidentally grab the wrong one?
Those prosecuting attorneys.
Oh, yeah.
Exactly.
With an NFL guy?
Right.
Oh, my.
Especially if he's got some priors or, you know, not priors,
but like a pass that maybe indicates he's fucked up a time or two.
It was in a bad state for it it and they made an example of it.
Boom.
Prosecuting attorney in my case
wanted more time so he could look
into more of my priors.
He was sitting four feet away from me.
I just looked at him.
What's your fucking problem?
Why are you doing that, bub? Get me out of here.
I'd like an extension or suspension
or delay on this particular case because we don't know if what he's saying is true right now. We'd like to look into more pri out of here. I'd like an extension or suspension or delay on this particular case because we don't
know if what he's saying is true right now. We'd like to look into
more priors of it. And I just looked at him
and then she'd ask me another question to judge
and I'd answer it. And then he would say,
we would like an extension
so we can look into what he's saying. We think he is
lying. I'm like, look over this motherfucker wearing terrible
jeans, fucking terrible shoes,
fresh out of college, trying to fucking
kill me right now. There's a whole room of
people. I don't know what they did. This guy was coming after me.
I was in a suit. I had my court suit and wedding
suit. They were the same suit. The only suit I had.
I was full thing in there. This guy's trying
to come after me. I couldn't even fathom
what that person's going to try to do. Jack Jones carrying
two guns. We hope everything's okay.
Hey, hope everything's okay. Don't love
that. Speaking of good news, we have
some. AJ Hawk will be joining us on the other side.
He was doing charity.
He was doing charity.
He was representing the program.
He was doing charity, which we appreciate, obviously.
He did a golf thing.
Oh, nice.
For the Buckeyes?
I assume it was for the Buckeyes.
I'm not 100% sure what charity he was for.
He signs up for all those things.
He's so ready for Tahoe.
Don't care what he says. He's so
ready to play golf. I'm going to break some news before
he even comes on because he won't bring it up.
He won the long drive tournament at the
Of course.
Of course.
He's
dialed, I do believe.
I don't doubt it. Joining us on the other side is a sandbagger Yeah, so he's dialed, I do believe. I hand it straight.
I don't doubt it.
Joining us on the other side is a sandbagger and a man who is playing incredible golf right now.
He's a college football national champion.
You'll want to hear his thoughts on everything going on in the world.
Oh, yeah.
This guy's got takes.
Yes, he does.
Four days.
And they all are seemingly toxic.
And joining us right now live from from Manatee, Ohio,
is a man who is a multitude of things.
Yeah, he is.
He's a champion both in college football and in professional football.
Wow.
And we're not talking spring league.
No, we're talking about the one in the fall.
We're talking about being a champion of Ohio,
actually declared the president of Ohio
just a couple months ago.
He is obviously a COVID survivor, but
in the time that we're in right now,
he's a father of 10. Wow.
Happy Father's Day to this man. Ladies and gentlemen,
AJ Hawk.
AJ, happy Father's Day, AJ.
Yeah, happy Father's Day. People really do
ask me if I have 10 kids, by the way, because of you.
I love that. I love that they're thinking
that you're like the guy that I just
watched,
just learned about him.
John and Kate plus eight?
No, but offset of that, the father of that.
Oh, Duggars, 19 kids?
Boom! Boom! The Duggars. I watched a little documentary about them.
Hey, that's a fucked up family. What a weird thing that TV executives tv executives were like yeah let's go ahead and promote this let's film this and let's edit out all this weird stuff behind the scenes so we
can put out a show even though we know we're probably doing more harm than good to both the
family and society but hey reality tv is what it is it is obviously something that we all try to
not watch but we do we keep up with trash television learning about the duggars last
weekend was a wild thing.
So people think you're potentially a future Duggar,
that you're believing in the IBL, I believe is what it is.
I believe it's the church.
I forget the actual name of it.
Where producing kids is just a massive piece of it because you're building your own cult to join other people to take over the world.
Oh, super cult.
Yeah.
I like that.
That's why you have so many kids. I've never. Okay. That's why you have so many kids.
I've never heard that.
That's why you have so many kids, AJ.
Is that what people think you're doing?
Is that what they're asking you?
Is that what they claim they're doing?
I never saw a documentary on them.
I would like to see it.
I just followed along because I know the oldest son got in a lot of trouble.
Yeah, Josh, he was quite a...
What'd he do?
Bad deal.
Bad deal.
Bad deal.
And then they sent him to one of their churches to go get fixed,
and then it got even worse there.
Oh, you don't say.
It didn't work?
The documentary worth watching.
I forget what it was on, but people ask you if you're building a cult.
Are you trying to produce a cult?
Are you trying to take over the world?
Why do you have 10 kids?
Is that what people actually ask you?
Well, I have four kids, for the record, but no, I'm not trying to start a cult.
I have no interest in that.
Well, if you and CFO Phil, that's eight, 12.
That's a pretty good little, you know what I mean?
That's not a bad little army you guys are creating.
Also, pretty similar mindsets.
I think everybody, fit fam, we're going to be in shape.
We're going to outlast everybody.
So maybe you guys do start a little bit of a cult.
Happy Father's Day.
You're an inspiring father with how you're able to balance four kids,
being present, and doing this some of the time.
And we say some of the time and
we say some of the time because last friday you weren't here you're at a charity golf tournament
you won a long drive contest you sandbag and son of a bitch are you better this year than you were
last year right now no i'm i'm not i didn't play very well but it's a bullshit so in an outing
there's like two or three holes where they're long drive holes where they have a little thing
in the fairway and for two of them of course i yanked the ball out of bounds and then one of them i actually caught it straight and hit
it in the fairway and yeah so i got the long drive on that one and now i have a three wood because i
got a 250 gift card to the pro shop that i had to use hell yeah hey you got to use okay i got yeah
thankfully i got to use it but i didn't have any all i had was dry ruck i don't use any other woods
usually so i got a three wood to match my driver okay which is going to be awesome to watch you
whenever you decide to use that on a par 5 somewhere.
Floppy.
It's like the shaft is so floppy, like I'm going to have to smooth it on out.
I can't swing like I want to.
Oh, you're just going to smooth it on out of the pocket?
I got that.
I got that.
I definitely smooth it out when I need to.
That's what you're known for.
That's what you're known for, just kind of smoothing it out.
I feel like this sack of shit is better than he has.
I'm sure he is.
100%. Ty, you weren't able to be there last year at the level. He's kind of smoothing it out. I feel like this sack of shit is better than he has. I'm sure he is. A hundred percent.
Ty, you weren't able to be there last year at the level.
This guy, once you start watching him golf, you're like,
how is this gorilla fucking good at this sport?
Because he's obviously.
Yeah, AJ freaking Hawk.
Dude, he's still got the fucking.
I'm not good.
I can get a par on a hole, and then I can get a 10 on the next one.
No, you can't. You never next one. No, you can't.
You never did that.
We did not see a 10 one time.
I think I had like seven or eight doubles when I played our first round.
This humility is awesome, and it's why you're the president of Ohio.
What did the commentators say?
I'm not stupid.
I'm realistic about golf.
I don't sit there and say, oh.
People take it way too seriously.
It's amazing he's able to get around with it, the way he's built or something.
Is that what you mean? Yeah. It's all about being too massive to swing a club, basically.
It looks like a little toothpick in your hand,
and then you just swing that thing as hard as you can.
When he starts smoothing out that floppy shaft of his, look out.
Dude, whenever he starts laying that thing out,
it's going to be right there in the middle of it all.
Let's talk about golf.
Did you get to watch any of the U.S.
Open? I did, obviously. I enjoyed
it. It's become my little, you know, me,
the wife, the baby, golf running.
What? Sam's even kind of
starting to dabble.
Coming around on golf. Yeah, not every
time has she been pumped that we're
watching golf. Sure. You know? But this
one rolling into primetime. Oh, yeah.
And not much else on. Consider me a fan of West Coast golf. Sure. You know? But this one rolling into primetime. Oh, yeah. And not much else on.
Consider me a fan of West Coast golf.
Agreed.
If the PGA would like to just stay over there and then go do Oakmont, go do the Masters,
and then just find courses over there, I think I'd be okay with it.
Shout out to Columbus for being a great host.
Shout out to Massachusetts for being a great host.
Obviously, New York has incredible tournaments.
Florida does their thing.
But for me, strictly as a selfish viewer viewer going into primetime was fantastic in the middle of this dead
time of sports i loved watching it i enjoyed the weekend congrats to windham a man with that name
you'd assume comes from you know billions of dollars naming your kid windham you know what
i mean but listening to his story learning about story, the pressure that was probably on him since
a very young kid to be the next
great golfer, and shit, he might be.
We have no idea what we're about to see
out of this man going forward.
Once 100 and something,
then he was 30th, now he's 13th.
If he can put another one together this
weekend at the Travelers, which has
another $20 million pot, so
this is all top eight
golfers are golfing in windham could go on a run this might be the next golf hero aj and i'm here
for it let's go i mean i would imagine he gained a bunch of confidence in this one especially
what was it saturday night he hits that putt was the birdie putt on 18 to send him into the final
group right yes so he knew he's playing the final group that was a big deal and then ricky missed
that putt and then all of a sudden takes that into Sunday.
I think also, though, it had to be difficult for Wyndham Clark knowing that the whole world wanted Ricky to win, I feel like, going into Sunday for sure.
Bro, how about that camera fucking right here?
Absurd.
Unbelievable.
The whole 18th fairway.
They're this far away from his seemingly.
Now, probably a little fish eye.
So let's say they're four or five feet away.
Still, even though it appears to be one just side shuffling in his face.
Just and we all know at this point, this dude makes par.
Correct.
Like he wins.
He knows it.
He has to know it.
Oh, yeah.
As that thing zoomed in on his face.
He has to know something's up, even if he can't see the fucking leaderboard or whatever.
It's like I thought and I guess I'm a bad guy for this.
It's like, I thought, and I guess I'm a bad guy for this.
I believe big-time players make big-time plays in big-time games.
That's why they have big-time fucking names.
So normally, that gene is something that is real.
Adam Vinatieri is going to make the kick.
Tom Brady is going to make the drive.
Patrick Mahomes is going to do the same goddamn thing.
There's a reason why their names are what they are.
I ain't never heard of Wyndham Clark.
Ever. That much pressure.
All day on Sunday.
Just on the 18th hole. That camera
right in your face. Having to hit a pretty long
shot that Ricky Fowler just put into the rough.
So Ricky Fowler does not have any of the pressure. He's fucking
plus six on the day or whatever he's way out of it the conversation
he can't even fucking hit the green from where it's at with how many people are there
this guy has to step over after slicing a drive still in the fairway though who cares he puts
that fucker right on the green and then they're just walking with him the whole time now i got
a two putt a 60 footer even though i have two three putts on the weekend one today already
the amount of things that could have built up i thought there was a chance he cracked yeah and i
thought we were about to see a devastating devastating collapse from a guy that as i was
learning his story i became a big fan of i am very fucking happy that he's a dog in that that 60
footer he rolls to a fucking foot and then he just hammers that thing home and walks out of there the
u.s open champion i'm very thankful he is because i thought we were going to go fucking foot, and then he just hammers that thing home and walks out of there the U.S. Open champion.
I'm very thankful he is because I thought we were going to go the other way,
and I was about to be devastated, AJ.
On this show, I was going to have to say, oh, Wendell.
You know what I mean?
I was going to have to do that.
I'm very happy he went the other way, AJ.
Yeah, I mean, his life has changed forever now,
and I would imagine the confidence he gets from that moving forward, man,
just like everything is so – they said he hasn't even played in the Masters yet.
He's like 32 years old, right?
He's not just fresh on the scene.
28 or 29.
My bad, yeah.
I'm someone 30.
Maybe Rory.
I don't know.
Stop just making stuff up.
Come on, Hawker.
We're just making it up.
That's me.
29.
That's what I do.
Close, though.
I mean, you're in the 29.
Fair take.
But I do feel for him that there's no fans to watch and there's no roars
because they sold the tickets
to all the rich people and it was a poor
the course was not set up for spectators
well either. We already knew that coming in.
Okay, so what were your thoughts on all that? People were
very pissed off that the LACC chose to sell
half the general admission to themselves
and then obviously all the corporate suites
they upped the number of people for that
so a very limited amount of general admission
public tickets were out there.
Seemingly it was one of the frustrations amongst other things.
It was, I guess, the Augusta National of California.
Nobody even knew this place existed.
It's the middle of fucking Beverly Hills.
I mean, how?
$8 billion piece of land is what Pomp called it?
$8 billion is what they could sell the land for?
The taxes they have to pay, though, because of a rule back in 1972,
is only like $22 million,
as opposed to $800 million,
which is what the yearly taxes could be
if it was the modern real estate rules,
so there's some little boom that they were able to get into.
But I didn't even know this place was here.
It is highly guarded, highly protected.
I'm very surprised that they even wanted to host
a public tournament, you know, at this stage of the game.
Haven't had one in California since 19...
Since the 50s.
It was the first time I was back in L.A.
So, like, them wanting to open up the course that I didn't know about.
No idea.
You were just around there.
Yeah, we literally probably just drove around this place.
Yes, actually.
And had no idea that it was even there.
Nobody talks about it.
Who knows who the members are?
Them wanting to open the doors, interesting decision.
And then the way they went about it,
certainly also an interesting decision there.
Who knows what it means for future events,
but a lot of people did not want anybody to go back to LACC.
No.
They're like, let's never go back to this place.
It's like, damn, this place took it on the shins a little bit.
They'll be back there in 31.
And I think I saw people saying, not good, good cancel it got enough time to cancel it now what were
your thoughts you didn't think there was enough people there i thought at times it just felt like
it didn't feel like a major didn't feel like the u.s open because you'd see like scatterings of
people and you look around like yeah like there's weird hills there's no real places that are set up
for spectators to be there then you learn about yeah, all the tickets are going to the suites
and the loges or wherever they call them.
And I just feel like at times, I know a guy,
whoever got the hole-in-one early in the week said,
yeah, I thought there'd be a bigger reaction.
Fitzpatrick.
But they didn't really say much.
So let's expand.
This is AJ who has actually rented his house to a golfer
that was in the golf tournament that comes through Ohio.
That's how close he lives to it.
So you go every single year, I'm assuming.
And the people in Dublin are like, why don't we get the fuck in?
Yeah, what the hell?
We do a lot better.
That's probably a real thing amongst golf communities, I assume.
Oh, I don't know.
Mirafield, I don't think, is trying to get a U.S. Open
because they have the tournament every year.
But I think there's other places that would like to have the U.S. Open
probably around Ohio.
Well, it's going back to Oakmont. Two there we go east hills of pittsburgh how you doing keep it moving i've been working in the full swing this might be the time
you can qualify you know that right anybody can qualify if you go through the local qualifier
yeah you just gotta win like 15 tournaments anybody can qualify that's it anybody yeah
that's all i mean you're coming out of the pocket you got it dude i'll tell you what i am coming out of the pocket you see me hit that
thing 3 30 today that was that was great you see this people are sweating so hard i just
got off the fucking stair master yeah please come on you look like john rom you look just like john
also what's wrong with sweating me tiny female john female, John Rahm. You know, we do a little short swing.
How you doing?
Keep it moving.
This one flew a little bit, AJ.
Okay, I'm starting to hit the ball pretty good.
Yeah, and look at the zero point.
You're a good golfer.
Oh, you're actually wearing your golf shoes in there, too.
Yeah, it's because I learned from last year.
I'm not walking on that course with brand new fucking clothes on.
You're not doing that.
Oh, you're just breaking them in.
Okay, that's smart.
Yeah, trying to break them in.
I don't have them tied there.
You see, trying to break them in a little bit.
Because last year, you know, I didn't get to use the shoes.
You know, because not everybody's just able to go fucking take a Friday and golf and win a long drive contest.
Yeah.
Okay, or a Tuesday.
I do get out there a bunch. You're right.
Well, certainly more than me.
Absolutely more than you.
Certainly I know that.
So I'm just trying to break these shoes in.
People have been cooking me, though, for wearing golf shoes in a sim.
It's like I have four blisters each foot last year.
Come on.
You also didn't wear golf shoes leading up last year
when you were just taking some cuts and you hurt your knee.
So it's probably better safe than sorry.
AJ, I'm pumped for Tahoe, man.
I'm pumped.
I don't know what the hell that weekend's going to look like,
but there's some piece of information we don't have.
What'd you say?
I said, wait, no one does.
We never know until we get there, and then all of a sudden, here we go.
Let's go win a golf tournament.
Hey, TDP, let's go win a golf tournament.
All we need to do is put together, what, three days?
I'll tell you what.
I know I'm delusional.
If I put three good days together, I'm taking home that.
I've never got better than T60, I believe.
But I'm going to make a run.
Last year.
Yeah, you're fucking lying.
Why do you do this?
You lie about everything.
Why?
What was that?
I said it was T55, I think.
Or tied 55th.
What was I?
Something like that.
I think you're top 50.
Yes.
No.
I'm trying to get top 50 this year.
That's all I'm trying to do.
Two years from now, though, trying to play in the US Open at the Oakmont.
That's right.
Starts in Tahoe.
So you're trying to get
top 50 in slavery.
You got it. You got it. Let's do some
fun. Hey, AJ.
This news out in New England with that guy with two guns.
Not good.
He had to not know they were in there, right?
Yeah, with two guns. That's going to be tough to explain, I think.
You know what I mean? That's going to be a little heavy. I don't know how big a carry-on
it's going to be. Were they both loaded, too?
Yeah. Both of them. Ten plus.
Does that make it a bigger charge out of the engine?
Yeah.
Yeah, both of them individually.
So the clips and the guns, four charges pretty much, I think.
In Massachusetts?
Yeah.
I assume a lot of states, but that's like four different charges.
And then you add an airport and unlicensed.
Yeah.
Not good.
They weren't licensed to him?
I don't think so.
He had his license?
Yeah, he didn't have the right ID or something.
Yeah, so there's...
If you have guns in your carry-on, it has to be like,
I forgot these were here.
Has to.
And I did an entire layout of how you could easily see
how people could forget things were in their bags.
For instance, when I was coming back from Heathrow from that England game,
I thought there was a chance that I left some edibles in there.
And it's like, we did a little research.
I think it's 14 years and an unlimited fine for trafficking in England.
Yeah, in England or whatever.
So like that all crossed through my mind as the bag was going through the thing.
Oh my God, I'm going to be on locked up abroad right now
because I played a football game. I mean, it's class B or whatever. So it was just through the thing oh my god i'm gonna be on locked up abroad right now because i played a football game i mean it's class b or whatever so it was just a toothpaste thing
thank god but i rode that wave of oh fuck i'm never gonna i'm never gonna go back to america
all of a sudden and uh obviously edibles and weed and stuff like that is a little different than
having two guns but people can certainly forget that something's left in a bag.
If they travel on a regular basis and they have a travel bag with that being
said,
Ty brought this point up prosecuting attorney that is potentially going to
want to make a name off this thing is going to say, well,
why is it just so easy for you to confuse the bag that has two guns in it
with the bag that doesn't have two guns?
Like, why is that?
Why is it not locked up?
Why is it not in a vault, a case?
Why are you doing any of this? have two guns like why is that why is it not locked up why is it not in a vault a case why
are you doing any of this and it's like two of them seems like there's a lot more yeah for people
to fire back at him for this seems like it's going to be bad hoping for the best and also
don't love that he thinks he has to carry around two guns that should be said you know what i mean
yeah was yeah were they gifts were you going to give them to somebody for Father's Day?
That's a good point.
They're safe.
Hey.
Maybe. Here we are.
Look at the brainstorm session here in the defense room.
Anyways, that's going to be tough with two of them.
Yeah.
Very difficult.
Don't love it.
Patriots got worse.
Yeah.
Prior problems, too.
Good player.
Good football player, too.
That's a tough thing.
Very good.
And you got Aaron Rodgers coming in town. Yep. Everything's going well over there in New York. good player good football player too that's a tough thing very good and he got aaron rogers
coming in town everything's going well over there new york have you heard some of these quotes
coming out about the time with aaron rogers new york jets quarterback they are gleaming over there
oh yeah they are beaming fucking cheek to cheek oh yeah they are so happy cornerback dj reed it's
lit over here man there's great energy around the building, especially when I came the first day.
Everybody's just happy.
Had a smile on their face.
There's just a lot of energy in the building.
One guy can do that.
Even when he came in the building, I was like, dang, that's really AR.
He's a jet.
Linebacker CJ Mosley, pretty good football player.
It's just a different vibe.
He sets the bar.
He sets the expectations with his resume, with his name,
and the way he approaches the game every day.
It's not every day you get to go against a future Hall of Famer
quarterback. As a defense, we're honored.
Honored to be in this situation.
Wow. Lakin Thomas, he's
amazing. Getting to work with that caliber of player
makes everyone around him better. They weren't
the only ones. Dwayne Brown, just
his presence is motivating in itself.
I've played against him so many times in my career.
You see it up close and you know what he's capable of.
I'm very grateful to be part of this and feel the vibe that we have.
Holy shit, are they paid to say this?
I ain't going to lie to you, said Quincy Williams.
I was kind of starstruck at first.
We were up right next to each other.
I was like, hold up, coach.
Let me take a few minutes to take this in.
Watch a few throws, seeing him in the green.
Elijah Vera Tucker says, just seeing him in the huddle is like still it's a real feeling gary wilson everybody's going out to work with
a smile on their face this is something 20 years from now 30 years from now i'll tell my kids i
play with aaron rogers this is from the same article in the athletic now remember there was
articles written about how miserable teammates are to be around Aaron with the amount that he expects from them,
the amount of information that is flooded to them,
and everything like that.
Then you hear about this.
He's at Rangers games.
He's at Knicks games.
He's at Wicked.
He's at the Tonys.
He's getting the biggest pop at all of these things.
And then his teammates are like, I fucking love going to work.
Is this the greatest time in Aaron Rodgers' life right now?
A.J. Hawken, what does this say to you, you think? fucking love going to work is this the greatest time in aaron rogers's life right now aj hawk and
what does this say to you you think i mean obviously he's had a big impact on the squad
from from the jump i think if they're excited now they're going to be very excited when they
start the regular season they see they get to see him like up close and personal make plays when he's
your quarterback that's a special thing i think it it breeds confidence to the rest of the roster
which they already have but i think it'll be it'll be much better when they get to see it live with pads on against another team
ty obviously anytime you get a chance to reprove yourself rebuild relationships re everything
there's going to be a freshness to it you know honeymoon phase is always something talked about
because things are new this feels very good over in new york yeah vastly different than what it was
in green bay for what the last at least for as long as I've
been around pretty much in this Green Bay Packers
fandom, like three years. This is night
and day completely time.
Yeah, for sure. I mean, it seemed like when they
went to the NFC Championship game in the
COVID year and then they got the number one seed
and lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Niners,
like, they were winning
because he was playing so well in spite
of all the shit that was
going on behind the scenes because like in the media they kind of made it seem like hey you know
they've kind of like every everything's good like all this stuff has kind of been put to rest but
everyone knew like that's bullshit like there's still all this stuff bubbling beneath the surface
and it was kind of just waiting for last year where they don't have as good of a year and then
it all kind of rises to the top but yeah i mean like all these guys they they knew how good they were last year and they
were just missing a quarterback and you didn't just get like uh you know no offense to a guy
like kirk cousins but they didn't get just like a guy who's good who can take you to a playoffs
like they got sounds like offense to kirk not at all not at all but sound like the gm of the
viking they got well yeah He thinks it, so exactly.
But they got a guy... Not anymore, though. These weren't changed.
Yeah, true. They got a guy who's a
first ballot hall famer.
They didn't just get some guy who's good enough
who isn't going to be as bad as Zach Wilson.
They got a guy who they can
fucking, you know, who can take him to a Super Bowl.
Joining us now is an insider for the NFL,
the NFL's network, the NFL's website,
and the NFL's streaming, the NFL's website, and the NFL streaming service, NFL Plus.
Host of the Insiders and a weekly wrap-up with Rap Sheet and friends.
We are the friends.
He is Rap Sheet.
Ladies and gentlemen, Ian Rapoport.
Hey, Rap Sheet.
Rap, before we dive into you golfing today and how the round won, seemingly the first five hole was terrible.
Hopefully, it got better the last 13.
Thank you for joining us.
We're reading these quotes in the Athletic article about Aaron Rodgers and his teammates and how everything's
going. And we know they canceled the last week of minicamp because everybody was already there
for the full OTAs. Have you heard anything bad out of the Jets camp at all? Or is every single
thing good over there? You're talking about just as it relates to Aaron Rodgers or like the Jets
in general? It seems like just the Jets in general, all things pointing up into the right, seemingly, for the New York Jets.
I mean, that's the way it should be, right?
I mean, especially because, you know, like I sort of thought, are you still going to?
Wow.
That is far.
Still going.
Yep.
He has a ladder or is he still leaning?
He looks like he's just going straight now, right?
Nope.
Nope.
Still going up into the right. Still going up? Yep. leaning? He looks like he's just going straight now, right? Nope, nope, still going up and to the right.
Still going up?
Yep.
I'll be here while he's still – oh, there we go.
All right.
This is like me trying to get my tippy toes.
I feel you, Pat.
Photo time.
Go ahead.
No, it is – as it pertains to Aaron Rodgers, it is all good.
And I sort of thought that new team, new approach,
the buy-in would be really strong and really quick.
And it has been all of that.
Like, not only was he there for kind of some OTAs and showed his teammates, like, hey, I'm around.
Like, he was there for all of them.
And I know some of that was related to the calf injury, but still, he was there for all of them.
He doesn't have to learn a new offense, but he can help teach everyone else, you know, the offense along with Nathaniel Haggett.
I think that's going to really help.
They, you know, I wondered if, you know, maybe something would happen with Corey Davis or
Denzel Mims.
Maybe they'd deal or cut a receiver.
Like, they got all of them.
So they got all the options going into training camp.
I mean, I would say the only sort of lingering issue, you know, you got the Aaron Rodgers
contract restructure, which I'm sure will happen.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Last year, last year, last year. Last year. triggering issue you know you got the aaron rogers contract restructure which i'm sure will happen whoa whoa lost you lost you lost you lost you what's going on all right we'll call you back we'll call you back we'll call you back hold the phone i think we lost him yeah i didn't hear him
yeah there's the end he was starting to talk really good stuff there that was yeah he's really
starting to dive into it couldn't hear him everything good in the back well it may be
connected to a speaker thing.
Yeah, that would make more sense.
Maybe a Bluetooth.
You know that happens, AJ.
When you're walking around your estate every once in a while,
I hear my voice is on in like your Maybach,
and then you walk a little bit further, and then it's on in your gym,
and then you walk a little bit further, and I'm blasted through the kitchen.
You know, your Bluetooth connected to everything.
Maybe he did that.
The whole shit, though, out of there is crazy.
Hey, C, you've got to be scared to death right now oh no I'm not scared not scared to death we're not in the Pat
Mahomes division and I you know we will have to play them and so will the Jets so we're not we're
gonna see how they stack up and unfortunately their best player on defense doesn't want to
play for them or at least needs money to play for them so although everything is great out of New
York this isn't the first time that some team,
especially in New York, has been spinning some yarn
about how good they're going to be.
Let's see how it transfers to the field.
And let's keep in mind that Joe Burrow, the Bengals,
and Pat Mahomes and the Chiefs,
and if the Bills don't hate each other
by the time September rolls around,
that they're still in there.
The Jets are right behind those three teams in the AFC
as far as odds are concerned to win the
AFC. Interesting.
Good time. A little prime time over there in the
AFC beast. A.J. Hawk,
I like that. Let's go to the phones here.
Who needs paid, Con? Who's
Con talking about? Quinton Williams.
He wants a contract. They're not
giving it to him. I'm hearing he's back on. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us
again, Ian Rappaport.
Hey, Rappaport!
Rapp, how you doing, pal? We got you? I'm good,'s back on, ladies and gentlemen. Joining us again, Ian Rappaport. Hey, Rappaport. Rapp, how you doing, pal?
We got you?
I'm good, yeah.
I don't know what happened there, but I'm back.
So let's go back to the Jets thing.
We were talking about...
It's fine.
Everything's fine, Pat.
Everything's fine.
Okay, good.
We'll go back to the Jets thing.
So it's all good.
The only unsettled issues are the Aaron Rodgers contract restructure,
which I'm sure will happen at some point,
and then Quinn and Williams' new contract,
which it's a fairly well-defined defensive tackle market.
There's been a lot of deals.
So my guess is they should be able to get things done.
It just never quite happens as quick as you want.
And the fact that there was no minicamp meant there was no Quinn and Williams
holding in,
holding out, doing something.
They went away for the summer. So those are
sort of the lingering issues. But
the energy is pretty good there, I think.
Yeah, sounds like it's lit, is what I've been heard.
What I've been reading, at least, about the whole thing.
Let's talk about energy that is not
as lit, just because we have to talk about it.
I don't like talking about this type of stuff.
This guy's an incredible player, though, for the New England Patriots.
All of a sudden caught up with two guns at an airport with two loaded chambers.
I mean, that's like four charges there, let alone a licensing thing and everything like that.
We don't know the rules over here or the laws other than tweets that we've seen that have kind of laid this whole thing out.
We heard this is bad.
This is not good.
How does he get out of this?
And what does this look like for Jack Jones,
a great corner for the New England Patriots,
who has a pick six against the aforementioned Aaron Rodgers last season?
I do not know that he gets out of this.
It's not good.
And, you know, he's an NFL player, and he is a really good player,
you know, really versatile player, good talent on a what should be a really really
good Patriots defense this is not an NFL issue um you know there is and I'm not 100% clear either
but you know I had someone who I believe should know say that there's a mandatory
sentence involved with this yeah right I read the same thing I think like multi-year right
I mean I believe 18 months now I don't know, I don't know. And I don't know. You know, these are all charges, obviously.
And we should say that we do not know, you know, what he did, who did what.
I mean, there's there's been plenty of times you've seen the report and then it comes out later and it's different.
Like mine, for instance.
Obviously, you know, there's another one frank clark was caught with um a
couple uh a couple guns recently and you know different situation i believe it was california
but did not do jail time but this is trying to bring guns onto a plane if this is in fact what
jack jones did uh i read all the charges there's a lot of them yeah now it's possible timing wise
this is pushed a little bit so like you, the legal system plays out in forever.
So it is possible he could play this year.
But this is bad, and this is not a football issue.
Here's from Justin Ramos, who's a Patriots reporter.
Here are the charges.
Possession of a concealed weapon in a secure area of an airport.
Okay.
Possession of ammunition without a firearm identification card.
Unlawful possession of a firearm.
of ammunition without a firearm identification card, unlawful
possession of a firearm, carrying a
loaded firearm, and possession
of a large capacity feeding
device. Jeez Louise.
Alright, Jack. Good luck out there.
Let's start being smarter too.
Okay?
This is an intelligence test.
I mean, I'm sorry, but
it really is.
There's so many bad things that you just said there.
Yeah.
I mean, it's unfathomable.
Pretty alarming.
Yeah, and you could make the argument, which I assume he would,
is that he didn't know they were in that bag and he grabbed the wrong bag.
And we've all been there with edibles where we thought we were potentially going to be in a spot.
But two guns is going to be tough to explain.
Plus a large feeding.
Yeah, that's the kicker, I think.
But that's why we need to find out what that,
because if it's just a 12-round normal for the gun
versus the extender like we talked about earlier.
Yeah, but any of it is not great.
Yeah, no matter what the category of force.
And two of them is going to be tough to say, I don't even know.
Yeah.
Didn't you feel it, hear it?
Mm-hmm.
Wasn't it a little heavier?
No.
Or just like, well, you should know.
God, we hope he's okay.
We hope it works out.
I hope everybody's safe, too.
I mean, he's carrying two guns loaded.
Why is he thinking he has to do that?
That's a good question.
Yeah, AJ, your question for Rhett.
Ian, you mentioned that we know the legal process could take forever,
but the NFL, like Raj, you say it's not an NFL issue,
but couldn't Raj step in and find, he can do whatever
he wants technically, but could you see it playing out to where he does, Jones does play this season,
then something happens, whatever the case and the trial or whatever they do eventually after the
year, and then they work out if he gets suspended or sentenced or whatever happens? Yeah. I mean,
now, obviously if he, if he goes to jail, then it's a matter of like, do the Patriots keep him
or not? I mean, that's, you know, that's sort of the football related part of it.
Obviously, it's, you know, does Roger Goodell step in, put him on the commissioner's exempt list, which, you know, he does have the ability to do.
You know, he can sort of make the decision that this is one where a player should be set aside.
It is not a, thankfully, a violent crime. It is not a, you know, there's
other, this wouldn't necessarily fit in the category of going on the commissioner's exemplist,
but he could theoretically decide to do it. Or the Patriots could just say,
we do not want to see Patriots corner every time they discuss this. We're done. Like,
there's a lot of decisions that have to be made here but yeah i mean to go to
your point like alvin camara was involved in allegedly a very serious violent issue and he
has played during that as he awaits you know possible resolution and then likely suspension
what's going to happen with that by the way i mean if he is found guilty or if he pleads guilty or if they come to some sort of agreement,
I'm facing probable suspension.
Okay.
I forgot about that. Guilty game, you know.
Pro Bowl.
Yeah, Pro Bowl weekend.
Yeah, to your point, what you just said about Jack being able to play,
it's like I completely forgot about Kamara.
That's a serious thing.
Oh, yeah.
Broke the guy's nose, right, in like his orbital bone or something.
Yeah, but who knows.
Allegedly.
With the video.
Allegedly.
I mean, there's a lot that could go into it. Anyways allegedly there's a lot of things being said go ahead connor yeah
actually we heard on friday from michael lombardi that the leslie frazier departure from buffalo is
a little more complicated than him just stepping away from the team uh is there any truth to that
do you know exactly what happened because i believe frazier is actually with the giants at
their camp doing a little consulting uh earlier last week or two weeks ago. I mean, that would make sense given his relationship
with Joe Shane and Brian Dayball. I saw what Lombardi said. I have not been able to 100%
confirm that. I think he mentioned that Sean McDermott took over with 13 seconds left.
That one I had not heard.
Whether or not there was a discussion of would Leslie Frazier give up play calling,
I think that was probably more in line of what I had heard.
It does sound like when it came down to it, Sean McDermott is calling plays, wanted to call plays.
That was the direction they wanted to go.
I think it made sense for everyone for Leslie Frazier to not be there.
The timing also really sucked for him because everyone had a coordinator.
So I'm sure he will be back.
It's been frustrating to me because the defense has been really good.
The Bills itself have been really good.
Leslie Frazier has not gotten head coach interviews.
And then obviously this happens and he has to step away for a year. The skills itself have been really good. Leslie Frazier has not gotten head coach interviews.
And then obviously this happens and he has to step away for a year.
That's certainly not going to help his head coach trajectory.
But anyway, to answer your question, I had heard some of that.
I had not heard all of that, but it was certainly a complicated, complex situation where they reached a reasonable and amicable solution to separate. interesting i had not heard any of it no and back in buffalo like he'll be back back in buffalo or back no
no no no okay and then you're talking about his head coaching trajectory was on the rise especially
because you're a d coordinator of a great buffalo bills team he steps away from you you think it's
going to cool off a little bit but what if what if one of these teams fires their coaches like
week eight week nine? Then he
has the first opportunity potentially for an interview
because he is on the street or he'll be
consulting with somebody. That was the first time I'd
heard though that there was potentially a little
because when he stepped down out of nowhere
just kind of moved on.
We hope everybody's okay
at home. We hope everybody's safe and everybody's
healthy. And then we just moved on.
So that was the first time I heard that. Why don't you tell us next time?
Come on, Rap.
Well, you know, these situations
are complicated.
Yeah, they are, actually. Speaking of complicated situations...
Go ahead.
And I'll say this. The Bills are a really good team.
They're a really good organization. I think
in some other...
This is sort of a larger issue, but in some other
places, you might have heard all
these rumors um you didn't hear any with the bills like that is that is a tight unit and probably one
of the reasons are pretty good ty has a question for you yeah rap sheet over the weekend jordan
love was getting cooked a little bit because he wished the bears happy father's day implying that
they are his father and not the other way around like rogers used to do uh which wasn't great but
you know i think he kind of just got got didn't really know what he was saying but outside of that
everything that's come out uh so far from the packers in terms of videos and just like his
progression seems like he's been playing very well and that they're very excited about him uh what
are you hearing about jordan love and and what do you think about him going into this year yeah i
would say tentative
optimism it's not you know like when when Aaron Rodgers is the Packers quarterback or I don't
know the Jets quarterback probably pretty good bet that that's a playoff team unless something
goes crazily wrong and you know what you know you know how good they're going to be one of the
hardest things with the NFL with playing quarterback is until the lights come on for real
until you have to do it game after game after game and all the stuff that goes with it you really have
no idea so like I've talked to plenty of Packers people about this there is some optimism but no
one is kind of like like it's it's not like when Mahomes was going to be the chief starting
quarterback for the first time they were like like, yo, we got something.
They knew.
This is not like that.
This is more like we think we have something.
He is talented.
Obviously, Gutekunst drafted him for a reason.
It took a minute to get to where they're confident enough in him,
so they think he'll be good, but really you don't truly know
until you get out there and it's week five and he's still
doing it yeah i mean what if he just comes in and lights the world on fire that would be awesome
huh how about it i didn't like the him getting got you know what i mean neither did i what what
how did that what i missed so allegedly it was like a bears fan from France who was there for whatever reason.
I don't know.
I saw the picture of the guy wearing a Bears jersey,
but he asked him to make a video,
and I assume there was some sort of communication error
they didn't really understand.
But still, he got got.
You can't be getting got like that.
He said the Bears were his dad.
He did.
Yeah, pretty much said Bears fans were his dad.
That's one way you could take it.
The other way could be like, hey, I'm your dad.
Happy Father's Day to me.
You know what I mean?
I guess you could take it that way.
But the internet's not going to do that.
The internet is obviously going to try this young buck.
And although he's been around and we've seen him in videos look a lot better
than he looked at the beginning of this entire run,
Jordan Love has been dropped into one of the hardest positions
in the history of the sport.
run. Jordan Love has been dropped into one of the hardest positions in the history of the sport.
We're talking about
drama from day
zero of
joining the team.
All hell has broken loose.
He has managed to remain classy and
friends with Aaron Rodgers
through this whole process. Has only gone to work
and gotten better. I hope this
ends up working out because it would be a great story
for the NFL to tell.
Now, on the flip side,
it's not easy to be great in the NFL.
No, it's not.
There's a lot of people
that are not great in the NFL.
There's a lot more people
that are not great in the NFL
than people that are great in the NFL.
So if Jordan Love is not great in the NFL
this first year,
I fear it's going to get a lot.
Very.
And Jordan Love,
would we have ever said
that he was given a fair shot
at this whole thing?
Nope.
Nope, but he was a first-round quarterback.
Good luck out there.
We're pulling for you.
Go get him, Jordan.
Dad, AJ, your question for Rep?
Ian, what can we expect here?
We know we're entering the ultimate dead period.
I know you have.
I don't know what your plans may look like, but will we see any moves happen?
Because now everyone's pretty much officially out there on vacation.
I would say for the most part, if you see news, it's probably not great.
We're like pausing and stuff.
Oh, this is when we get in trouble, right?
This is when the guys get in trouble usually.
Now, it's been a lot better.
When I first started doing this like 10 years ago, it seemed to be bad a lot.
And it's gotten a lot better.
Shout out us.
Shout out players.
Let's go. Shout out other thing that could happen is there are you know there were a lot of deals in like june i guess we're still in
june but in the early part of june or late may that were kind of being sort of talked about
right like i mentioned quinn and williams before a couple quarterback deals burrow and herbert um you know there's justin jefferson um who may get a new deal there's chris jones i
mean there's a lot of deals out there and these things tend to have like a weird mind of their
own so they happen when they happen so like there is a chance we could randomly get a deal. Andrew Lux was July 4th, I think.
There's so many pending extensions that I think that might be something
that could kind of spice up our July, I would say.
Okay.
Hey, let's spice up.
Let's spice up our life.
Let's spice up our life.
Good things.
Positive things.
People getting paid.
People saving the world.
There we go.
Maybe some philanthropic news. People getting paid. People saving the world. Maybe some philanthropic
news. People going
on missions and building things and
creating things. Let's report
on those as well as they're happening this summer
as opposed to just guys
having two guns and two extendos.
Let's report some
good stuff. We appreciate you. How was the golf round?
Play good?
I played a lot better after your call.
You must have inspired me.
I was in trouble, and then I went par, par, par after our phone call.
A little downhill from there, but I shot 89 overall.
To me, totally fine.
Hell yeah, you broke 90, pal.
Good point, Rap.
I did say one thing.
Like, hey, let's just make solid contact, Rap.
That's it.
Let's just make solid contact.
You make solid contact, and you matriculate down the course. You're going to be just fine. Now you're golfing. Like, hey, let's just make solid contact, Rap. That's it. Let's just make solid contact. You make solid contact and you matriculate down the course.
You're going to be just fine.
Now you're goffing.
Seedball, hitball.
We appreciate the hell out of you.
You're the man.
Ladies and gentlemen, Ian Rapoport.
Hey, buddy.
So what happened with the oil, I wonder?
I don't know.
It just dropped out of nowhere.
That was weird.
What a dude.
He came back and said everything's okay.
Like, what happened?
You guys have a little secret communication?
No, I don't know.
I honestly have no idea.
It might have been the Bluetooth thing.
It had to be. Yeah, maybe.
He's always on top
of it, except for during this time whenever he just chooses
to golf every day.
Yeah, I mean, there's
some news that's coming. It might be good, might not
be. It'll happen
if it doesn't happen. Andrew Luck's happened.
It did. Doesn't mean
previous outcomes do not predict
future ones.
We have no idea what's going on.
Appreciate it, Rap. The NFL never sleeps, though.
More news coming out of other sports, though.
Like the U.S. men's national team or the fucking
CONCACAF champions.
We're the champions again.
Back to back.
Back to back.
And now, Reina, a man who was not allowed on the field
because something happened with his family
and the head coach's family
and sexual intercourse at some point
with somebody somewhere.
Possible.
He was not on.
Last night he has two assists.
How you doing?
Let's beat the shit out of Canada.
Let's win the Concava.
And now, all eyes.
I guess the Gold Cup is certainly something we'll win as well.
But all eyes are on the Europes, okay?
If you Europes, who I believe just had Spain won.
They're in the league.
Yeah, they're in the league.
They're won, okay?
Why don't you guys put up your trophies?
Okay, put up your pink slips.
Let's go.
Us versus you.
Concava versus the Europes.
Yep.
Trophies on the line.
Go ahead and take on this group of absolute doves.
They have a different attitude than they had going into the World Cup.
They do. This team's fighting
for each other. This team's a little bit more bully ball.
This team doesn't look like a bunch of bitches
like they potentially looked in the World Cup.
Now, we don't have a head coach just yet.
They bring back that Burr Halter. He was
obviously brought in mid-Concava run.
B.J. Callahan,
the video director who was running the team,
got the boys running. Yeah.
This team's a different team, AJ.
And I want to let everybody know, when the soccer Lombardi's being hosted on this ground,
on this part of Pangea,
and we win it,
we will let you enjoy our game over there.
That's right.
We will expect you to thank us for taking your sport to higher highs than it's ever been before.
And you have to thank us for allowing soccer to continue to be what it is in the rest of the world behind our soccer Lombardi being hoisted around town from California to Carolina and all the towns in between.
It's our sport now. It's our game
now, and I'm excited for it, AJ.
Hell yeah. So was this
U.S. Men's National, was it on
yesterday? Yeah, last night.
How was it? You start
to finish. What network was it on? How was it?
So I DVR'd it. I DVR'd
it. It was on Paramount+. I do believe
you're able to go back and watch it.
Is this the biggest tournament of the year?
Yeah, it's Concava.
So this one's bigger than the Europe's.
This one's bigger.
There's a tournament called the Europe's?
Yeah.
But this is all a culmination.
This is just like warm-ups for the World Cup though, right?
Yeah, the soccer Lombardi's the biggest.
That's right.
Then there's Concava.
Are we favorites
to win this one? We are now.
Concava might be bigger
than the World Cup at this point.
Yeah, we'll see. I mean, if we keep winning it,
obviously. Then it means more.
Gold Cup's right up there too.
People are saying...
Is there like four teams in the Concava? How many play in that?
Hundreds, dude. So many.
Obviously, people just think it's
just us and Canada because obviously
our two programs are better than everybody else
that we're playing. That's right. There's a lot of other teams
in there. We just don't get to see the highlights. What you
do in the dark comes to the light.
Just because the lights aren't on whenever we're playing all these other
hundred teams doesn't mean the work isn't being put in.
There's a lot of great teams in the Concava.
Great countries. This is Phil
Mickelson type stuff. Tiger Woods. Any of these great teams in the Concava. Great countries. This is Phil Mickelson type stuff. Tiger Woods.
Any of these other countries in the Concava.
Any other time could
be theirs. But instead, they gotta live
in our shadow.
You can't forget about historical powerhouses
like Mexico, who we just took behind
the woodshed and beat the absolute
shit out of. They're there too. And we fought them.
We did. And we fought them.
I was excited to see that.
That was cool. So the United States-Mexico soccer
games obviously always been big. Always
chippy. Usually very chippy.
A lot of dirty soccer, you know.
It's always been
the thing. Good rivalry. That's just how
it is. It always has been. You know, that's why
whenever
Liga MX, I believe,
and MLS, they were trying to work together because it's a
natural rivalry it's good soccer mexico has done well in the world cup we've obviously gonna go on
and win the soccer and body this year it's always been good but we beat the shit out of them and
actually fought them couldn't even have two of our best players and champions because they were in an
actual fight in an actual scrap it's like now we're playing. Hey, now we're playing some American soccer.
Now this is
we need to impose our will on people.
We don't need to try to be playing other people's soccer.
We don't need Polithic, who is
one of the greatest players on earth.
Scored two against Mexico. One of the greatest finishers
on earth right now. So dynamic. We don't need
him flopping around like you.
Keep your feet, pal. You're faster than
everybody. Was he flopping? Remember World Cup? We were all about it. And, we didn't. Keep your feet, pal. You're faster than everyone. Was he flopping?
Remember World Cup? We were all about it.
And then we started watching him play.
Has that started to figure itself out, though?
That's what I'm saying. The team has a new edge.
Gritty. A lot of John.
B.J. Callahan.
Take no crop from nobody.
Beautiful game with a little bit of brutality.
Yeah. And we had to stop.
MLS had to stop playing League of MX, remember?
Yeah, that was it.
League of MX strung up that guy from missing a PK in the middle of the game.
What?
Hung him like a banner.
Who did?
Who?
You don't remember?
I remember Sadam and his face.
Son's doing that.
Like 17 people were decapitated.
Yeah, it was crazy.
There was a brawl in the state.
I don't know if what he said happened.
I'm pretty sure.
I saw that.
Oh, you're talking about that.
Turnstiles were happening.
A lot of stomps.
Yeah, that kind of ended that whole thing.
We do not think that's every game.
But that did happen in a game.
Yeah.
And it did change the trajectory seemingly of the MLS in them.
That video hit the internet fast.
It was great.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Holy shit.
He's not good.
Too far, too far, too far, too far, too far.
Fight Haven won't even post this.
Exactly.
Let's get to it, bro.
Speaking of, have you seen clips that go hard?
No.
On Twitter?
Thank God.
It's like the new Fight Haven.
It's not cool.
I stay out of the 4U.
Yeah, I'm about to mute the 4U as well.
It is a...
What is it?
Just nasty?
Just dead stomps and stuff?
I don't know.
What does Twitter think of me?
We're talking...
Yeah, well, that's the thing.
I think we all got the same. Yeah. I think we all got the same.
Yeah.
I think we all got the same.
There's clips that go hard.
They show a video of a motorcycle crashing into the back of a truck, right?
And then the next video is this guy who's been impaled by a pipe that was hanging out the back of this truck.
Can't have that.
I don't want that in my life.
I don't want it at all.
I don't like horror films.
Bingo.
I don't want the visual.
No.
I didn't even like watching people like bobble snaps because I don't want that at all. I don't like horror films. Bingo. I don't want the visual. No. I didn't even like watching people like bobble snaps
because I don't want that in my brain.
Yes.
I'm too mentally weak.
Does it say these people are fine, though,
and they're living a healthy life?
Nope, nope.
It does not say that.
That used to be the rule of the internet, by the way.
Yeah.
Just so everybody knows, it's kind of new to the internet.
Not that I'm old to the internet.
Kind of.
Been around a long time on the internet.
But feels like, not as long as other people,
not saying that. But I'm just'm just saying used to be like hey person dies but don't we're not
yeah yeah so when you're watching things you think to yourself like okay so at least this person
didn't die now i feel like the modern internet does not have that morality clause not at all
it's like i'm watching it and i'm like like this person. Like faces of death back in the day.
That was scary.
They'll tell you if it's a lie, but they won't tell you if the guy's a liar.
How about those trains people used to get?
Oh, man.
I can't say.
I'm seeing it right now.
Let's get it out.
Get it out.
Get it out.
Everybody close their eyes.
I just saw it again.
See ya.
Out.
Mitt came up to me last week, and he was like,
do you want to see a video of a guy getting eaten by a lion?
I said, no.
I don't.
Why?
Nick, don't have it on your phone.
That might be a part of the problem.
The shark one.
I was going to say, Nick was also the one I believe who showed us the shark.
Nope.
Yeah, Nick's a big.
That was not me.
I haven't even seen the shark video.
Hands up.
Now, the shark one, maybe not.
But Nick's a big.
I'm all for people getting hurt on hurt if they're riding a BMX bike
or doing something to themselves.
I don't want to see people get eaten.
What are you laughing at, AJ?
You're the same damn thing.
I don't know.
I'd rather see someone die
than snap their arm in half like Tom Selleck.
You want to see...
What's wrong with you?
He's disgusting.
I don't like seeing dislocations.
I'd rather see him get shot
than their arm snap in half.
So we're sitting there having a good time. He's
smoking a cigar as he would.
I'm smoking a little dope maybe.
Drinking a whiskey. I'm having a good time
sitting down. Life's good. And all of a sudden
AJ puts his phone
two inches from my face. I don't do that. I never
do that. I may have handed it over. What are you talking about?
It's not like a killing video. What was it?
No. You know what video it was.
Oh, it's showing you the greatest guitar player that ever lived?
Yeah.
Is that what it's doing?
Yeah.
Just shoved it in my face.
And I go, I do not want to watch this.
I don't.
You got to see it.
I do not want to watch this.
But I'm sitting here for three and a half minutes with AJ's phone.
Just over and a quarter.
You were shoving.
I didn't watch it for three and a half minutes.
But I did see 25 seconds of that thing.
And I had seen enough.
And now, every time that guy's name gets brought up.
Nobody died.
Nobody died.
I assume they're both at this stage.
Some people say that fart might have killed a couple.
Let's get to it.
So you are that guy.
Nick is that guy as well.
Yeah, that was tough.
Well, hand up.
I was the one parading.
Hey, this guy just got eaten by a tiger shark.
Check it out.
Yeah, you need to stop that.
Come on.
Boom.
Well, no, but remember, I followed up. Nick feels very vindicated. Yeah. I followed it up with the second video, though, of them by a tiger shark. Check it out. Yeah, you need to stop that. Come on. Boom. Well, no, but remember I followed it up.
Nick feels very vindicated.
Yeah.
I followed it up with the second video, though, of them killing the tiger shark.
Yeah, it was a real coming-of-age tale.
Yeah.
Not all of that.
Get the guy's body out of his stomach.
Two deaths don't equal no deaths.
No.
It's like Happy Gilmore.
Yeah, they have rooms.
That guy got chewed up into little tiny pieces.
They weren't finding anything out of him.
See, we don't need that descriptive of a...
Well, we all saw the video.
I mean, that tiger shark.
Yeah, boy.
You see the tiger shark?
See his whole goddamn mouth.
Rest in peace to that guy.
Yeah.
Rest in peace to everybody that's died on these videos
that we've been forced to watch on this new internet.
Yes.
We don't like that we're seeing it.
There's no rules at all.
We need a little rules on the internet.
No rules out there.
We need people to live by a moral code.
We need to know if the human died or not.
Kids don't care.
These kids don't care.
They don't.
They don't.
The issue is I won't see a lot of your guys' tweets unless I go to that tab.
And I never go to that fucking tab.
So I never see your guys' tweets.
I see your tweets, Fox.
You remember you're jumping on a trampoline?
You don't count.
I see your tweets. Like Ty's Remember you're jumping on a trampoline? You don't count. I see your tweets.
Like ties,
Tony's, I never see.
Let's get to a break. Chris Paul joining the show. Oh, here we go.
Holy shit. Had an opening. Chris Paul
comes in. Alright. Here we go.
Got a new book coming out.
Nice. Tomorrow.
Called 61 Life Lessons from Papa.
On and off the Court.
Chris Paul with Michael Wilbon.
Okay.
We settle our differences.
I've not read this book, did not know Chris Paul was coming on,
but very pumped that he is coming on.
Yeah, sweet.
How'd you get the book so quick?
That is a hard cover.
Yeah.
Very hard cover.
You can hear it
Yeah and then when that one sells as a best seller
It'll get reprinted as a soft cover
And you make even more money
I think the soft cover is easier to travel with
This one's going to hit into your guns
When you got them in your carry on
Might set them off
If he would have had a hard back book
It would have hit both of them
Which goes back to our point we need to read more yeah we did absolutely it's important well said
and joining us live is a man whose book comes out tomorrow okay titled 61 life lessons from
papa on and off the court chris paul with michael wilbon i can't wait to hear the stories that are in here. It is about
life off the court and how his grandfather inspired him to do so many things. His grandpa
was the first black owned gas station in the county in Carolina. Whenever he passed away,
suddenly out of nowhere after a heart attack, after getting mugged and robbed, I do believe
over a thousand people came to this man's funeral.
He's beloved by everybody, basically, that has ever encountered him.
Chris, the next night, goes and plays a high school basketball game,
scores 61 in honor of his grandfather,
will go on to Wake Forest and obviously become one of the greatest leaders
in the history of professional sport
as a man that has vital ties to the national basketball players association.
Yep.
The deal him and Bob Iger negotiated to play in the fucking bubble.
We're talking about one of the most genius sports guys of all time.
Book comes out tomorrow.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Chris Paul.
Yeah.
How you doing?
Hi,
what's happening?
Chris,
thank you for coming on the program.
This is fantastic.
I just read up on it as much as possible.
And obviously I haven't been able to get through it. We'll listen to it. I can't wait for the program. This is fantastic. I just read up on it as much as possible and obviously I haven't been able to get
through it. We'll listen to it. I can't
wait for the stories. I read the blurb.
I read the back. I'm kind of getting
the gist of this whole thing. Thank you for doing
this and obviously
rest in peace to
your Papa Chili, I believe is
his name. Yeah, my grandfather. Rest in peace to him
and how much have
like, so is this business
related stuff is this life lessons what is the book and how when i start diving in what should
i expect that's a little bit of everything pat but first appreciate you having me on man it's
so dope to see what all you got now like that's what's crazy like the whole set like man i'm happy
for you like genuinely happy for you but for for me, for me and my grandfather, this book is about like why I am the way I am, you know, and it teaches like how important these relationships are.
You know what I mean? Like my grandfather was everything. That was my best friend.
And I just talk about, you know, this time in my life when he was murdered when I was 17.
I just talk about, you know, this time in my life when he was murdered when I was 17.
It's a crazy thing to think about that type of thing happening to you, especially on I think it was the day after you signed your commitment letter to Wake Forest, I believe is what I read.
So a lot happened to you. Do you think you maturing quickly and having to handle these types of things is the reason why you are the leader you are now? Because I believe everybody, whenever it comes to NBA conversations, whenever it's negotiation, they go like, well, Chris Paul is a massive piece of it.
The NFL is hoping that somewhere in a locker room around the 32 cities
in which there are teams, there is a Chris Paul that business-wise
can kind of lead the NFL whenever they're negotiating with the NFLPA.
Do you think you matured early because of this situation?
Do you think you were built for it?
And how much of that is real versus how much of it is fair fairy tale that you were kind of piecing together behind the scenes?
That was a whole lot right there, Pat, to tell you the truth.
Might be a chapter.
I don't know which part to answer right there.
All of them.
I tell you, my grandfather's murder, I think it forced me to grow up early.
Um, it showed me that nothing's promised.
Tomorrow's not promised.
And then my granddad did so much for my family.
You know what I mean?
Not just, uh, spiritually and emotionally, but financially.
And it wanted me to, it made me want to be that caregiver, caretaker for my family.
Um, as far as the union stuff and and working as far as the pa i
think that was just an interest that was something i always been curious i asked a lot of questions
and you know i was on the executive committee for seven years before i was president for for
eight years so it was just curiosity well you crush it everybody's looking for you and every
other league so keep going go ahead aj ch'm wondering, like, with everything you do,
first off, I don't know how you do it.
With how involved you are, it seems like you're also like this,
you know, doing all this business stuff.
You're an entrepreneur, and you're kind of the leader
that people go to in the NBA.
It feels like if they have a question,
they need something done.
What do you want to do post-NBA life?
Whenever you do plan on hanging them up,
do you want to try to run the union?
Do you want to try to run the league?
What do you want to do?
TV, obviously, is there as well.
Run the country?
Yeah, or no, not that.
Definitely not that.
I'm over there to work with you, Pat.
You got a spot for me.
Absolutely.
We got enough space for you.
Now, granted, I will say, Foxy,
how many free throws did you make in a row over there?
85.
85 straight's a record in here for free throws.
The amount of free throws, what's that you said 85 who made 85 yeah white kid from michigan the kids got
all i can do chris it's all i got lefty it's beautiful too i mean he just sits in there and
locks in how long does it take normally it's a good bit yeah it takes like over 10 minutes i'd
say he's locked in though yeah i can never do that but there's records for you to be had here
there's life for you to live here what do you's life for you to live here. What do you want to do? You're not even thinking about it because obviously
your basketball career right now is being talked about everywhere. You know, you just got graded
yesterday. How much are we playing for 10 more years? Do we have, have you thought about the
future at all? Definitely not 10, but you, you think about it, Pat, like, you know what I'm
saying? You, you were athlete, you retired. And so so for me i've had a lot of guys that i've had an opportunity to talk to about that and for a
lot of guys i've talked to they say when you start thinking about it then you're already done
i'm still too in it i'm still too in it when i get done here i'm headed over to the union office
to work out you know i mean i still just love what i do and uh, uh, when that time comes, you know, I'll face it.
Finding gyms to work out in. That's a big part. Weren't you just in the, uh, you were over there in, uh, Hmm, LA somewhere, weren't you? I mean, you are, uh, you're in Washington now, aren't you? You're in Phoenix, Washington, New York. You're in LA.
You talking about when I was working out? Yeah. At that gym? Yeah. In LA. Weren't you working out?
You talking about when I was working out?
Yeah.
At that gym?
Yeah, in L.A.? Weren't you working out?
You know what's so funny about that, Pat?
And that's just to show you how crazy the internet is.
Everybody was trying to say I was working out at the Lakers practice facility.
That was not.
That was a guy who lives in L.A.
I'm not going to say his name, but those people who know, he has a house with the Lakers court in his gym that many people work out at all the time.
Okay. So you wanted to work out at all the time. Okay.
So you wanted to work out there because you wanted to do it later?
Is that why you wanted to do it?
Because he lives close to me, and I've been working out there.
I used to work out there even when I played for the Clippers.
Oh, okay.
You didn't tell him, hey, we need to change the paint.
We need to change the paint just like they do over in Staples.
Now, crypto, that's out of business.
We'll be going forward. Let's talk about the's out of business. What will it be going forward?
Let's talk about the big news, though.
And we talked to Sham Sharania earlier.
He told us that you go from like a $15 million deal to like a $30 million deal.
So congrats to that on that.
If that's the truth on what I actually have.
A business.
Looking good business with the book coming out.
What are your thoughts on it all?
It's not a nice deal, too, then.
Yeah, pretty good, pretty good, pretty good, pretty good.
Yeah, all right.
Pretty good for everybody, for everybody.
We all eat, we all eat.
Yeah, yeah, all right.
We all eat.
But what is your thoughts on this?
I read that you were on Good Morning America.
You said you found out about it
while you were on the flight to Good Morning America.
So you didn't see this coming,
and what do you think the future looks like for you?
What is your part in this whole thing?
I don't know.
I was flying yesterday from new york
uh no to new york from l.a and i got a text from my son that's how i found out and is it is what
it is you know i'm saying i was sitting there i showed my wife or whatever because we was
it was in the air and you know it's all right we gotta figure out what's next
All right.
We got to figure out what's next.
Hell yeah.
What is?
What is?
What is? Here we go.
What is?
You know what I mean?
That is, we all got to figure it out.
Yeah.
Hey, we're here to figure it out together.
Let's figure this out together.
Okay, we get $30 million now instead of $15 million.
Sweet.
Washington Wizards, cool town.
He's, hey, part of MBPA.
DC's right there.
Yeah, boom.
We got a lot of movers and shakers.
We can do a lot of good stuff
there. We don't mind that.
I'm not the PA president no more.
Yeah, but your fucking name.
You got the resume.
We want to wish you luck for everything.
Wherever you end up, we hope you're happy.
Sounds like you're still very committed to basketball, though.
No question. No question.
My golf game needs some work, though, Pat. You remember that? Yeah, yeah, I that yeah yeah i do you beat me though i mean you played better than i did that's
good was that my golf tournament was that five years ago yeah i think four or five yeah maybe
barefoot barefoot out there hitting bombs hey i almost fell on my ass too and then yeah del curry
made me putt out every foot putt if you do do recall. He was watching me booze all day, and then we would get up to the green.
I'd be within a foot, and I'd be like, all right, waiting.
Huh?
Huh?
Anybody?
He said, I need to see that.
Bingo.
I'm going to need to see that.
Yeah, the first one I make, hell yeah.
Second one again, huh?
Huh?
I'm going to need to see that.
Miss.
He just walks off.
You've always been good to us, though.
Brett Favre was the craziest one.
Brett Favre showed up in sneakers, no gloves, and just driving the green.
Driving the green.
Hits the ball far.
Yeah, listen.
You can say whatever you want about Brett Favre.
Okay? I'm going to stay away from it. That's right. His golf game was incredible, though. Oh, yeah. Yeah, listen, you can say whatever you want about Brett Favre.
I'm going to stay away from it.
That's right.
His golf game was incredible, though.
Oh, yeah.
His golf game was incredible.
Chris, yeah, I don't know if you heard.
You were busy in the middle of a basketball season, but damn, we were in the middle of it.
Let's talk about some of the basketball, though, here, Chris.
You've obviously been in the game a long time, long time.
The game has evolved.
Has it changed as much as people say from the outside looking in?
Do you experience that?
And what are your thoughts on the current state of basketball in the NBA right now?
No question.
It changed. I mean, when I first came into the league, the games was ending at 85 to 80.
Now that's the end of the third quarter.
You know, but it's been so cool to be a part of it.
You know what I mean? To play as long as I've been able to play. And it's been so cool to be a part of it you know what i mean to to play as long as i've
been able to play and uh it's fun it's like i mean that like it's still fun yeah well you're
crushing we got to see you obviously when you're playing the suns out there in la that night
and you out there just the way people respond to you just you like your teammates fans every
and he's over there dapping up every human
in the building. He's a big human. You know what I mean?
Yeah. He's over there.
Talking.
How we doing?
Big movers and shit. Hey, Wendy dropped on this show
last week that you and him kind of pieced together
the bubble. Is that true?
That who did? You and Bob.
Yeah, yeah. That's my man. That's my guy right Bob? Yeah. Yeah.
That's,
that's my man.
That's my guy right there.
Man,
Chris,
absolutely crushing it.
Yep.
We appreciate the hell out of you.
Good luck on the book.
All right.
Appreciate it,
Pat.
Thank y'all too.
Hey,
thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Chris Paul.
We're not going to get anything there.
Could you imagine?
He tells us where he'd like to go play basketball?
Huge news.
Why would he do that?
Why not?
No chance of him saying that.
Had to ask.
Had to ask.
But could you fathom?
He goes, yeah, I was actually.
Wizards.
Yeah, not a chance.
Can't do that.
What was going to happen?
It would have been awesome, though.
Yeah, if he just.
You know what?
I feel like playing with LeBron now.
Are you going to read this book?
Absolutely.
We need somebody to read it.
All those things that you said right before, too.
I had no idea.
Yeah, him dropping 61 the day after his grandpa died for how old he was or whatever.
The story was told that he was at the free throw line.
He made the first free throw to get to 61, and then he just threw the ball away
and then told coach, get me out of the game.
So he stayed at 61 and then he was i guess a couple points away from a record obviously yeah could have easily got but he said not doing it for a grandpa and then now he's
telling the stories that he learned from him i cannot wait to hear about him and thank you to
chris for joining us let's go to the five energy phone line here on this beautiful juneteenth 2023
hey that was something I talked about this at
I started the show with it. We've learned
about Juneteenth over the last couple years. We're not the only
ones, AJ. You know that. I thought we were just
bad people. Yeah. What do you mean
we're not the only ones? Like, I think a lot of people
had just learned about Juneteenth
over the last couple years.
How long has it been a federal holiday?
2021.
There it is.
Thank you, Dirty.
Shout out, Dirty.
No problem.
Hey, happy Juneteenth, Dirty.
Happy Juneteenth. Happy Juneteenth.
Happy Juneteenth to everybody, actually.
Happy Juneteenth to everybody.
Think about that.
Two years.
Well, it wasn't in history books either.
At least the ones that when I was in school, it wasn't.
Yeah.
Two years.
Yeah.
Emancipation, 1863.
Okay, under 60 years.
1865.
Seemingly, if you look back on
whatever many years, small time.
Imagine those two years.
Oh my gosh.
I have no idea.
Excuse me?
Sorry for the hell.
I forgot to tell you.
Let's go to Skyler in Phoenix
On the 5RNG phone line
What's going on Skyler?
How you doing?
Keeping moving
Hell yeah
I celebrated my first
Father's Day yesterday
So I wanted to make sure
I wish all the dads there
In the Thunderdome
A happy Father's Day
Thank you
To you and your first
Father's Day Pat
Thank you Skyler
That's very kind of Skyler
Happy Father's Day to you Skyler
Happy Father's Day to you
Happy birthday
Yeah let's go to Logan In Columbus, Ohio on a 5 Energy phone line.
Happy birthday, man.
Oh, it's not your birthday?
Logan?
Hey, how you doing?
Keep moving.
Hell yeah, all right.
Good, good, good.
AJ, OH.
I-O, big guy.
Oh, boy.
He just big-guided you, Logan.
How you feel?
Oh, yeah. He's a legendided you, Logan. How do you feel?
Yeah.
He's a legend, you know, the mayor of Ohio.
So he can do as he pleases.
President.
Not a mayor.
He's not worried about pot.
He's about to kick you out of Ohio.
No, no, no.
I think you like Logan, don't you, AJ, if you seem like it?
Oh, yeah.
Anxiously awaiting what his question might be.
Logan, can we get one more O-H for the team here?
Yeah, O-H.
Hi-oh, Logan.
And?
I just wanted to get your thoughts on the anonymous Big 12 coach calling
West Virginia similar to a
Mac school this year.
Who said that?
I don't know. It's a Sports Illustrated article.
It says anonymous Big 12 coach.
I just wanted to get your thoughts on it.
I mean, I know what the boys think of that, you know, bowl-cutted.
Logan!
You get the fuck off the phone, Logan.
Sports Illustrated's reporting this, Logan?
That's not good.
Yeah.
Yeah, you have to go look it up.
Anonymous Big 12 coach.
You know, similarities to Mac.
Called him soft, too, I think.
What?
The Toledo Mountaineers is what they're saying, I heard.
I mean, Toledo's a rocket, man.
Yeah.
Big Ben's from the Macs.
He's a good player.
Absolutely.
There's not a lot of them, though.
They play on Tuesdays.
Yeah.
What are we talking about?
I mean, how many?
Nope.
Don't do it.
Do it.
Do we?
Too soon.
Okay.
Oh.
I thought it was something completely different.
Yeah, I was going to say, how many Mac coaches have Miller lattes
fucking just falling out of their...
Bob Huggins has resigned as the West Virginia basketball coach.
He was found very boozed up
driving a vehicle in downtown Pittsburgh
after seeing the Taylor Swift concert.
Blew.251.
Had Miller lights
rolling out of his car, allegedly.
Had a flat tire and thought he was in Columbus, Ohio.
Obviously, nobody should be operating something
that can kill people in that state of mind.
Not his first time.
Bob Huggins, after what happened on radio a couple months ago,
has resigned and said that he needs to do a better job
healing and being a human pretty much
so now we have no basketball coach and an anonymous big 12 football coach is calling us a
max school the fuck's going on in morgantown west virginia aj this is right where we want to be
everybody thinks we're down now we're not we're not we're back aj that makes me even more pumped
up about what we're about to do to the Big 12.
Oh, Big 12, we're like a Mac school, huh?
You just brought in UConn. You want to bring in UConn?
That's lower than a Mac school. Mac won't even have them.
No, they won't.
They're a basketball school, and that's what the Big 12 is going for.
Bring them to the Big 10.
West Virginia? Here's the quote here.
Oh, no.
This might be the worst roster in the league.
That's a tough line to start with. They they have some talent but they're not physical at all
they're really small especially compared to the old W
I don't know I kind of
now you like him
now you like him
the defense
is legitimately bad they look like a
Mac team compared to the rest of the league
and Neil Brown didn't fire his coaches he's a really loyal
guy but it's also a sign.
He knows it's a personnel issue.
They lost JT Daniels and Graham Harrell.
I think you can say that experiment didn't work out like they thought it would.
I'd say Powell.
Thanks.
That's a tough quote.
This guy's making some salient points.
Yeah, he does make a lot of points.
He's helping Neil Brown, though.
Isn't he helping Neil Brown saying their roster's not good?
So it's like, hey, it's not on the coach.
It's his roster.
It's the thing in college.
Five years, six years.
Maybe good coach, not as good a recruiter.
Maybe it's two different things in college.
Well, Coach JB very early said he was not going to be a good recruiter.
He knew.
Oh, yeah.
I think the thing about it is when you go like this,
when your thing's trust the climb, trust the climb,
we're going to have to rebuild here, Jesus.
You know, when you get hired.
Right.
Trust the climb.
And you do start to kind of make some strides.
Okay, hey, we're good, we're good, we're going to do good.
And then all of a sudden that climb becomes a plateau slash descent
while you're the coach the entire time recruiting the entire thing.
It's your people.
You just got to hope, I guess, that there's a climb coming on the other side
that's very steep, very quick.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Because we can't do another fucking rolling hill.
No, not climbing anymore.
Can't do another rolling hill.
We need a Honnold climb.
Talk to the AD.
If I'm the head coach, Neil Brown, I'm like, okay,
our roster may not be great.
Let's get a little break in schedule with some cupcakes possibly.
Nope.
If you want.
I know we've had that schedule.
We've gone through it.
Their schedule is brutal for football.
We're set up to be 4-0.
Well.
That is how anybody would want to be.
We go into Happy Valley week one.
How you doing?
Keep it moving.
We go to Duquesne, of course.
Yep.
The dude.
Well, good luck.
Hit primetime.
Thank you.
Redemption for their old friend Pat.
West Virginia wins that one.
Now we're 3-0 staring down game day every weekend.
That's all Neil Brown has to do.
Or on the flip side, you got a happy valley.
Yeah.
You get exposed up there because they can't run the ball.
Right.
James Franklin doesn't make all the right decisions all the time.
We've all seen it.
No.
A lot of things that we go, this guy.
Give me.
What's this guy? But what
they do is the potential to maybe
still Big Ten football team.
And with what this guy's saying about the team
being very small, there's a chance that even
if they're not clicking on all
cylinders offensively, they could maybe bully
West Virginia. That's what this guy's saying.
He also said their defense is
legitimately bad. And then you go to
Duquesne. You lose to Duquesne. Exactly. If they lose to Duquesne, he'll get fired. They're And then you go to Duquesne. You lose to Duquesne.
Exactly.
If they lose to Duquesne, he'll get fired.
They're not going to lose to Duquesne.
Garrett Green ain't going to lose to Duquesne.
They should not and probably won't.
What, AJ?
Hold up, AJ.
Hold the –
We don't know.
We do not know what's going to happen.
They haven't even started camp yet, so we cannot say one way or the other
whether Duquesne – I heard reports are Duquesne's looking legit in their offseason.
Yeah, they always do.
They're big.
And that's a classic physical team.
I don't care who you got sandwiched between Penn State and Pitt.
If you're West Virginia, that is a classic letdown spot.
Not against the Dukes.
We understand when we're – is that an away game in front of 1,400?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
First off, that'd be about 6,000.
Okay, sorry about that. I believe it believe it's happening also the jail right there everybody's trying to pick their head up there
oh it's also pretty crazy that you have a little respect for fucking author jay rooney stadium i
did a lot of soccer on that okay in that place i got a lot of respect for that place anyways it's
right above a jail where are you guys it is neil brown's entire career is coming down to a game
against the dukene Dukes,
and that's kind of reflective of what Neil Brown is.
We beat the Duquesne Dukes by 30 to 40 points.
Maybe.
Maybe, too.
That might be the only one you get until, you know, September 2024.
Garrett Green ain't going to let this happen.
Garrett Green's about to run wild, brother.
Well, it sounds like even if they score 50, the defense is giving up 65 a pop.
That's how it happens.
So to your point, though, about the AD, we got a brand-new AD,
Wren Baker.
This guy's the guy.
This guy's the guy.
He didn't make this schedule because these happen years in advance.
Yeah, Wren is trying to probably cook the books as we speak,
trying to make things right.
It's not as easy.
You know, Deion said,
they got a schedule right now against T.C. Open.
We'll see
and then Dion saw yeah that's set yeah college isn't necessarily like the easiest thing to kind
of maneuver around Ren Baker will do all the maneuvering that we need to maneuver yeah it
just hit me about about West Virginia too they're not going to get that top three prospect in
basketball oh yeah all those guys who were going to transfer in.
They had a couple, I thought, right?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Multiple.
See ya.
They're out.
See ya.
With, I mean, in light of all that stuff,
there were some pretty cool clips of Bob Huggins.
Like, I believe it was the Missoula team
when a player got hurt on West Virginia.
Sean Butler, yes.
Yeah.
That was really cool.
Yeah, it was really cool.
Everybody's saying, bring Missoula back.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I saw a couple people say that.
Yeah, he's way too big for West Virginia, though.
What are you talking about?
West Virginia, look, we can just say it.
They're not a sports school, okay?
West Virginia is now an academic titan in the state of West Virginia.
They are not a sports school.
I've always said they're the Harvard of West Virginia.
Exactly.
That is no different.
Harvard's pretty good at sports, actually.
The thing about West Virginia is...
So the thing about Harvard, their football team, we beat them by 50.
Sure.
There it is.
Their rifle team, guess what?
Yeah.
We beat them by 50 as well.
Call the AP right now and get West Virginia in the Ivy League today.
That's not a bad play.
Hey.
That is what you do.
Ren Baker, not a bad play.
I think we lose that on a lot of money because nobody watches those games,
so the TV deals aren't going to be that great.
Sure.
Nobody's going to see the games. They're already tough to see, but
I don't like what people are saying about stuff.
The Mac is awesome, Pat. Come on.
You'd love to be in the Mac.
I had an offer to be in the Mac, and I
turned that down.
Primetime games.
West Virginia gets some of those primetime games.
Every Tuesday night? Are you kidding me?
So we were Mr. Thursday nights before the NFL was on Thursday.
You guys were a bigger team.
We were.
Yeah, bigger, more physical.
Actually, yeah.
Tougher, better.
Yeah, the guy kind of put me in a pickle there.
He did.
Because it's everything that I've kind of said.
And he put you guys over while saying everything you said.
Yeah, but Coach Blaine Stewart, he's going to get it figured out.
Yeah, make him the head coach.
College football soon.
How soon is NFL football?
NFL football is actually exactly 80 days away.
Let's go.
Wow.
College is before then, right?
Yeah, I think college is probably like 72.
You got week zero, which is like two weeks before.
True.
Week one's a week before.
Here we go.
In the 60s for college football.
We can do this.
We can do this.
Yeah, we're so close.
We're watching golf.
Yeah, not to mention the road to Tahoe.
You know?
That's kind of a good little.
Tahoe's happening.
We're chipping balls.
We're shooting balls.
Very close to that.
We're answering calls.
What?
Huh?
You got anything?
Keep going.
No, I want to use.
Oh, you want to get in some balls out there?
Oh.
Crawford, he's fighting.
Mm-hmm.
Against Earl.
Pooping in stalls.
What? Draining in stalls. What?
Draining in stalls.
Okay.
I was talking about our program.
We're not getting that.
I was still rhyming.
Getting in brawls, pooping in stalls.
68 days until college football is either just told me.
Boom.
Let's go.
Let's go.
That's huge.
That's not that far.
That's like next week.
Yeah.
See?
Well, I mean, technically it's like 10 of them.
Yeah. Does it Well, I mean, technically it's like 10 of them, but.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Does it start earlier next year?
Once they expand the playoffs, aren't they starting a week earlier?
Dude said August to January 20th.
Maybe just everyone.
That's what McGee said.
Yeah.
And, well, he would know.
Were you on for McGee?
You weren't.
You missed McGee.
Yeah, no, I sent him a couple clips.
He sent me a clip of, yeah, he was what?
He likes his home life.
He likes his family, too, or something. Yeah, he's got to see his wife. He loves
us, but he's got to see his wife.
What do you think about what he
was doing there in his head when he started giggling
there? Oh, I don't know. Probably just thinking
about us, you know, all hanging out around a fire
and him, you know, hitting the hay.
That's probably what it was.
Yep.
Let's go to the phone.
68's are going to be long days. It's a lot of days. It's not that many. We're so close to nine phone. 68's are going to be long days.
It's a lot of days.
It's not that many.
We're so close to nine weeks.
The days are long, but the time is fast.
Amen.
Well said.
That's a classic kid line you have on a plaque.
Mug.
It's like what they say about college.
It is, though, man.
Nine weeks, that's half the NFL season.
Jeez Louise.
We already know which teams are going.
It is long, but it's not, though.
Yeah.
We already know which. are going. Yeah.
We already know which. Long, but it's not.
What's that, AJ?
Sorry to cut you off.
It is long, but it's not.
Be here before you know it, man.
Things go way too fast.
Thank you, Hawks.
Cheeky.
Fucking soft hand.
I'm playing pretty good little golf right now.
AJ, you doing this in Youngstown?
What's that?
That's how? Get in.
Great hands, man.
This is how AJ plays fetch with Axel.
Is that a cross ball?
No.
Knee hockey.
Oh!
Axel makes you like
macaroni pain.
A little softer.
Just in case they hit the wall, won't scuff it up for you.
It's got to the phones, but they're harder than just a foam ball.
Exactly.
It's a foam ball that is hardened.
It's almost like a foam ball got hit with hairspray.
Yeah.
It's got to the phones.
It's got to Ethan in Arkansas.
What's going on, pal?
Oh, nothing much, boys.
How we doing?
Keep it moving.
What part of Arkansas are you in?
Northwest Arkansas.
Whoopig.
Suey. Hell, yeah. Where's that at? What Arkansas are you in? Northwest Arkansas. Whoopig. Suey.
Hell yeah.
Where's that at?
What state is up there in northwest Arkansas?
Like the Fayetteville area.
Yeah, but what states are up there?
I mean, we got like states around Arkansas?
Yeah.
Yeah.
In the northwest fashion, more specifically.
What?
Oklahoma.
We got Missouri.
You know, Texas, Louisianaiana and just a bunch of
shit no no dogs dogs dogs dogs yeah we got some dogs but you know arkansas that's right in the
middle of arkansas is like right in the middle of the country yeah did you know that obviously
yeah yeah very pretty too it's great countryside yeah where'd we go? We were down in Darnell.
We were in Darnell, Arkansas, down there in the south.
That was a good time.
It was a good time with John Daly.
Arkansas is obviously...
It's a dry county, but it was a good time.
A lot of Miller Lights.
A lot of lights.
And then we had a Jake Owens concert.
Yep.
That guy fucking killed it.
And I tried to play his guitar, and he kicked me off his bus.
3 a.m.
What's going on, Ethan?
He's a golfer.
Is he at the...
I was breaking the strings.
I was really doing it.
I was ripping it. I don't know. He should strings. I was really doing it. I was ripping it.
I don't know.
He should be.
He was there last year.
Super handsome.
Very talented.
He might have had 30 beers and then did a concert and sounded amazing.
Yep, stud.
It was...
You showed him how to play guitar.
Throwback.
It was fantastic to watch.
I was very impressed.
I mean, we're talking...
I love when you hear that.
Real throwback country artist.
That's what country music used to be.
Bro, he was barefoot
in that fucking thing too. Hammered.
I don't think he was drunk when he was
singing somehow. I don't know if he got an IV or waters
or whatever. But he was drinking with
us all day. We're talking
hammered drunk. He was drinking with
us all day. Long day.
Drinking all day through his golf tournament.
And then he takes like an hour and a half nap.
I guess he like washed off.
And then next time we see him, he's up there ripping it,
singing his ass off, not forgetting a single song.
And he went for like two and a half hours or something like that.
It was unbelievable.
Never been more impressed with somebody.
You played in Batman.
I did.
I was trying to teach him stuff on the guitar.
And he had to go to bed at some point.
He was top ten at Tahoe.
Yeah, he's unbelievable.
He's a god.
Really?
They need to put a guitar in his goddamn hand.
No matter what.
No matter what level of sobriety he's at,
put a guitar in his hand.
He is good.
He was up there on the long drive for a little bit too
until AJ knocked him off.
He's a real talent, this guy.
This guy's a player.
This guy's a real talent.
Anyways, he's not from Arkansas.
He's from Florida, actually.
Ethan in Arkansas.
What do you want to talk about, pal?
I got two quick questions for you guys. First, I want to say shout out to all the dads. Happy late Father's Day Florida, actually. Ethan in Arkansas. What do you want to talk about, pal? I got two quick questions for you guys.
First, I want to say shout out to all the dads.
Happy late Father's Day.
Thank you.
And, you know, Pac-Man, quite a fucking dog, dude.
And congratulations on being the sellouts you guys are.
Congrats on that whole deal getting done.
Thank you.
Thank you.
But I just wanted to ask about the deal getting done.
You know, are we still have access to this show on Spotify?
Because I'm busy.
I'm working all the time.
I didn't know.
Is it still going to be kind of a podcast thing?
Or am I going to have to go to YouTube to catch up with you guys?
Great question, Ethan.
I believe that all remains the same.
Yep.
I believe.
Yep.
Boom.
I saw a lot of people asking that.
I didn't even.
I didn't think that there was even a consideration that it would change.
Me neither.
I don't think so.
Why would they not want it to be on Spotify? Yeah. I don't think people there was even a consideration that it would change. Me neither. I don't think so. Why would they not want it to be on Spotify?
Yeah.
I don't think people will listen on Spotify.
Dude, we got some real people that listen.
Oh, yeah.
A lot of people still listen.
Anywhere you find podcast.
That's cool.
People still listen to them.
Just forget about that.
Ty writes a full fucking blog.
Believe me.
Sometimes I'll look over because his word per minute is incredibly high.
Damn.
Thank you, Ty.
You're welcome.
Thank you to Ethan in Arkansas.
Listen on Spotify.
Anybody listening to the podcast right now, we appreciate you. We should thank you, though.
We'll get better at that.
Yeah.
Right, AJ?
We're going to get better at that.
That's gold.
Yeah, we will.
Hell yeah.
Let's have a podcast minute.
This is just for the podcast minutes. Dump it. Dump it. No, we will. Hell yeah. Let's have a podcast minute. This is just for the podcast minutes.
Dump it.
Dump it.
No, no.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Dump it from the video.
From live.
Yep.
Podcasters, we love you guys.
Hey, don't forget to subscribe and like.
That's right.
We need reviews too, please.
Podcars, please.
Please, please.
We appreciate the hell out of you.
All right, let's get back to the live show.
All right.
So we just got done showing our love for the people that listen to the podcast, in which there is
a lot of them. We're very
thankful for them. And we should think about them more,
but we're just live rants.
You know what I mean? We're just live rants. I couldn't even
imagine comparing us to other podcasts that are
well thought out, well edited. Not that
you don't do a good job. You get what I'm saying.
Every single segment. And we're just fucking
We gotta be shit as a podcast but we appreciate
everybody that's listening. Well I mean
now I'm just spitballing here. I heard
if you're on Spotify
you could just have
guests on and have like
interns ask the questions and then
record yourself
asking that question and then edit it in.
Yeah but they're not going to pay you for that are they? No yeah like 20 million
they'll pay you for it. What?
Yeah.
That seems like the right job.
Yeah, you only have to do 12 episodes, too.
What?
Who's doing that?
That's all.
The Royals, Meghan Markle.
Nah, they're ex-Royals, right?
Yeah, not my fucking Royals.
So Meghan Markle, oh yeah, I did read this.
I don't think they even put an episode out.
12 of them.
Yeah.
They actually did?
I believe so.
Allegedly.
But apparently other people were asking the questions
and then she would just record herself asking it
and then I would just edit it in as if she was asking it.
Oh, there it is.
Slim dunk, baby.
That was a Bruins ball too.
Nice.
See, the podcasters don't get to see that.
Yeah, but this is for video only
because we also just did Spotify only.
Two for one.
Get in.
Come on, AJ.
For five merches.
Five merches.
It's going in.
And 500 from AJ.
Is that the unduffable?
What is the unduffable?
I haven't duffed yet.
There was a lot of that yesterday.
Long putts. Yeah, so close. Dustin Johnson was like three, four a lot of that yesterday. Long putts.
Yeah, so close.
Dustin Johnson was like three, four putts away.
Yeah.
Like real close.
It was great.
I thought Scottie was going to do it.
Didn't you think Scottie was going to make a run?
Oh, yeah.
So Justin Thomas and Ricky Fowler were boozed up watching Sunday.
Homer.
Sorry.
Justin Thomas and Max Homer were boozed up watching Sunday's action.
And Justin Thomas puts out a tweet that he and Max Homer
are talking or whatever
Max thinks it's going to be 10 under that's going to win
I think it's going to be 9 under
Scotty has a chance to get into the mix
and as you're watching it unfold you're like
these fucking guys are spot on
at one point it was 11 maybe a chance of 12
somebody just missed a birdie putt
and they're like it's going to be 10 or it's going to be 9
just kind of reading the room and understanding it it's like i wish that maybe
you know justin and other guys who seemingly would do more of that yes if you're not in for
the weekend and i know you don't get much time off we would love to follow along with your thoughts
because as soon as justin tweets that and max tweets that i'm feeling completely differently
i'm like okay so these golfers are expecting to have a bogey or a blown hole,
as opposed to just being like, I got to be perfect throughout this whole thing.
It seemed like from the top-tier golfers that were in the tournament,
they're like, okay, a bogey's coming here, a bogey's coming there for somebody.
It's like a completely different mindset as you view and watch the entire thing.
I was very appreciative of that yesterday.
Yeah, I even thought of it when I saw, I know Justin Thomas missed the cut.
I'm like, it would suck and he wouldn't enjoy it.
But what if they got him on the coverage for the last two days?
What if he jumps on the mic and he's walking in the fairways with Noda Begay
or whatever following the leaders?
It would be awesome to see that.
Well, and Smiley Kaufman was on there.
I think he did a great job.
I heard him pop in a little bit.
The caddy, me too, the caddy for Wyndham said, like, be an athlete here.
Yeah.
You know? And I think Smiley was the one saying that. And it felt like the way Smiley was saying,
it's like, hey, that's a conversation that happens in golf a lot. Like, just got to be an athlete.
Well, how many yards do I got to put it here? Hey, be an athlete here. Feel it out. Do it.
It was nice to hear, like, those little things that you don't normally hear. And I think ex-players
who play well, Smiley being one of them,
have kind of a little bit different information,
a little different knowledge about how they actually view the game as opposed to us just bouncing hole to hole watching shots the entire time.
I enjoyed it.
It added a little depth to the coverage for me, just those couple tweets.
And they were threatening going live.
It's like, well, go on, Ned.
Go on, Ned.
Please.
Yeah, PGA responded too. The PGA Tour account was like, hey, we'll then Go on then PGA responded too
The PGA Tour account was like, hey, we'll give you the password
to our account and you can go live on
Go on then, son
Go on then, you know what I mean, AJ
We're looking for it, I was looking for it
I think, honestly, don't you think
we will see that in the future more?
I hope so
Because they want to get their score up too
Don't they still do that? You get paid at the end of the year
if you have a high IQ score or whatever?
Yeah, but would that count?
I don't know if that would count towards it.
It'll help get interaction and stuff.
It's all like on impressions and interaction.
Yeah, people tweeting about it.
Okay, sick.
Then good.
Make money off the whole thing as well.
But with how accurate they ended up being.
It's like, would like to hear more of these types of predictions, please.
Because I could potentially drop it off gambling.
I'd be pretty sure.
Myself and Max Homer
are on our second glass of rosé and debate and go
on Instagram Live to share our thoughts on the golf.
Yes, please. And then all of a sudden,
I think 9-under wins. Max thinks 10-under.
I think Scotty has a serious chance
to stage a comeback and get in the mix.
It's like, happened, happened, happened.
All these things happened.
Because there was a chance there we thought Rory sitting in 9-under
was going to push a playoff.
Yes.
And I think their playoffs are big, right?
Would it be three?
I think U.S. Open does like it.
It used to be 18.
It did, yeah.
I think they changed it because that's when Tiger played the next day on like a broken leg against Rory Sabatini.
And that won.
I believe it was Sabatini.
They would have had to go next day, right?
If there was a playoff, it was getting so dark.
It was dark.
Rocco immediately.
Also, it was Rocco 30 minutes earlier.
Also, shout out Scottie Scheffler.
I believe it's like 16 straight events where it's top 12,
but there's only like one top 12.
They're basically all top five fucking top eight.
This weekend's golf tournament, all top eight are playing in there.
Yep.
Got some real horses swinging for a purse of 20 mil.
Huge.
Remember that 20 mil has always been around, even before Liv.
Yep.
Just wasn't being used.
Think about that.
Think about that.
Better for the golf fans.
What's Jay Monahan?
Is Jay Monahan okay?
Stepped away.
We don't know.
We hope.
Hopefully.
Medical situation
or medical emergency?
What'd they say?
Some conspiracy situation.
Really flowing this weekend.
Okay.
Well, of course
the internet's gonna have thoughts.
And it was awesome.
What'd they say? What'd they say?
Just Antarctica, your typical
stuff. That one's
wild. Oh, did you see they found the backyard
footage of the alien?
Pretty cool. Where?
Super cool.
The hidden camera found it.
It's hiding behind something.
I sent it on Sunday morning.
I said, I wish I could believe this. I lived in a world
where I could believe it. Oh, yeah. I did see that. I said it on Sunday morning. I said, I wish I could believe this. I lived in a world where I could believe it.
Oh, yeah, I did see that.
I did see that.
I believe it.
That thing, if that's what it looks like,
long arms on that something.
Long arms.
Exposed ribs, though.
I think you'd crack a couple ribs.
I saw a breakdown.
So, just real quick.
We believe sketch artists,
whenever they draw up some fat
that did something terrible and killed somebody.
True. We won't believe killed somebody. Yeah, true.
We won't believe this kid describing an...
What do you mean you can see it?
That's all I think.
That's a tree right there.
That's a 50-foot tree.
Is it pooping?
Is it a tail?
Yeah, I think it's got a little half one like Chuck Corgi.
Yeah, I saw a Corgi this weekend.
It was not the same size.
Pretty crazy.
Who took this video?
Or this was like a Nest Cam or something? Yeah. All right. It was not the same. It was pretty crazy. Who took this video? This was like a Nest Cam or something?
Yeah.
All right.
It's kind of a fence.
I believe this is a sketch artist.
Yeah.
There was a breakdown of the Vegas video,
and someone said that they could see the alien's hands next to the fence
that they were walking through.
Really?
It's a nice little breakdown, but I did think it was a little bit of a foo game. A lot of alien stuff, really? Next to the fence that they were walking through. Really? It's a nice little breakdown, but I did think it was a little bit of a foo game.
A lot of alien stuff, huh?
This weekend, some guy came out.
Where's the crash?
Where's the crash?
They picked it up.
What do you mean they moved it?
These two guys, okay, these little aliens are hiding behind a chainsaw,
and somehow they found a way to pick up a whole spacecraft and take it out of there?
Yeah, they lost their backpack that they're able to put the entire thing in.
They camouflage, idiot.
They're naked. Obviously, they crash and go through the windshield.
The windshield takes all their clothes off.
They lose their backpack that they're able to put their shuttle in.
What do you think this is, dude?
There was a whistleblower that came out and said something
and then somebody else came out and said,
yeah, what I've heard is very similar to that
and that person allegedly in a position to hear it.
So we got one. The government allegedly got one.
Oh, more than one.
I would expect, because some of the things that I've seen is that this goes way back.
This isn't like a new thing.
A craft or a bean?
Both.
Both.
Now, who knows what's real and what isn't real, obviously, in this whole world of everything.
That's tough.
I mean, actually everything.
Yeah.
That world seems like there's been a lot of smoke
coming out of it real quick
what's going on over here
AJ
what is it
what is it
maybe we don't need to always be hunting for what this is
let's just enjoy that this is coming.
That's right.
And let's learn as much as we can about this.
Because if this is...
What sports are they playing?
True.
You know?
That'd be nice.
What if we really like one of their sports?
What if they have like a pickleball?
That we love.
Yeah.
I can't wait for that.
What if they have some fitness routine to make them look like it?
Like, oh, actually, arms used to look like yours, and then we started doing this
and look at the arms. Watch this. You want to be 10 feet tall?
Boom. Kind of. You want to be able to jump over
that fence? Yeah. That'd be cool. We got this stuff.
Go ahead and do a little of this, do a little of that.
What if that's what the aliens potentially are offering right now?
That'd be sweet. What if things are very, very
good? Yeah. Now, on the flip
side, what if they're not? Now,
that one I just seen there was crouching down,
scared to get punched in the mouth.
Don't need to punch him What if they're not? Now, that one I just seen there was crouching down, scared to get punched in the mouth. What?
Don't need to punch him in the mouth, though.
Right, AJ?
Let's talk to these things.
I mean, you can try.
Let's see how it goes.
AJ, I'll do the talking, okay?
Jeez.
I would love to see.
I would love to come across one of these beans.
So much.
Just to chat, just to figure it out.
That'd be fun.
Then I'm going to get my camera out, my phone.
I'm going to start fumbling around.
I'm going to drop my phone three or four times and say, here we go.
Look, here's footage of this alien I saw in my backyard.
AJ, stop pointing out how every Bigfoot video and alien video and UFO video looks the exact blurry same.
That's all going to change, they're saying.
That's all going to change.
With these new iPhones.
It already has.
What are you going to say to them, AJ, when you talk to one of these beings, as you call it?
Is that what they're labeled, beings? Let's see what they're doing. Ask them, what's your intentions? What are you going to say to him, AJ, when he talks to one of these beings, as you call it? Is that what they're labeled?
Beings?
Let's see what they're doing.
So ask him, what's your intentions?
How are you doing?
Where are you from?
How'd you get here?
Welcome to Ohio.
I am the president.
Welcome to my town.
What's your body fat percentage?
Are you going to try them?
Are you going to try to spear them like that guy in Lake Tahoe?
With those long arms, you know they can't bench press 225 more than six or seven
times. You can break that down easy.
We have breaking news.
John Morant has responded
to
the allegations that his team and he
believe that the NBA and the media are out to get him.
He retweeted a
that's cap, that's cap, that's cop,
that's crop tweet
from Mo Wells. And Mo cap. That's cop. That's crop. Tweet from Mo Wells.
And Mo knows.
Yes, he does.
So, Ja Morant saying that's a bunch of bullshit.
Maybe back in the day I felt this way, but it's the current state of mind.
I do not.
That's good news, Ja.
Yeah, here we go.
Here we go, Ja.
Here we go, Ja.
And Sean said it earlier.
He didn't think that there was any leg to that either.
So, why is this news getting broken?
Because people just need something to talk about
or because that was the news back in the day
and the people that maybe were around back in the day
who have now been kicked to the side
so that there can be real growth
are trying to still remain relevant
in the fact that they were in Jaws orbit.
Yeah, that sounds like the most likely.
That makes sense.
Well, we need to stop with that, okay?
Jaws trying to live and grow.
Good luck out there, Jaws.
Go get them, Jaws.
We're pulling for you.
Don't fuck up again, though, Josh.
It's going to be tough for us to keep sticking up for you.
Stay home, play ball.
Stay home, play ball, beat your bop, do your thing.
Exactly.
Pretty simple.
Until you retire, then do Paul Pierce.
You can be Paul.
You can be Paul Pierce.
And he's renting girlfriends.
You can be Jake Plummer who's growing mushrooms, I think.
Exactly.
You can be a full-time
gumbler, maybe live in Vegas
in a sportsbook. Yeah. Could run a
shooting range. He just un-retweeted that.
We have breaking news. No.
Oh, no. Fuck.
He un-retweeted my own nose.
Okay. Not good. He remembers
he's not allowed to be on social media.
So maybe it's maybe. Oh, yeah. He did the goodbye
thing. But maybe also this was retweets or not endorsements.
True.
Situation where since we took it the way we took it,
he's like, no, no, no.
It's not cap.
You know what I mean?
Maybe he's saying it is bullshit the way they're treating me.
Maybe he's saying it is cap the way I'm being viewed.
We don't know.
We'll keep our eyes on his Twitter account that's supposed to be inactive.
Well, maybe T. Morant.
He had to tell him, like, hey, I actually was down at the local watering
hole, and I might have said,
feels like they're attacking my son. I was having a couple
beers. Well, it's to me.
Don't actually.
How about Chris Paul bringing up Brett Favre?
He knew. I don't think he did.
How about Foxy trying to
catch me in there? I'm walking off camera. Foxy's
like, don't worry, we got more.
We'll keep you right in the middle of this thing.
I'm like, get me out of here.
Me and Brett can run into each other one day, you think?
AJ, you're friends with him. You know him.
I'm sure you will. I'm sure you will, right?
I'll go, Brett, how you doing?
Thank you for costing me those lawyer fees.
But I did get to learn a lot about a lot.
Oh, shit, Pat. Don't worry about it. You should see my lawyer fees. But I did get to learn a lot about a lot. Oh, shit, Pat.
Don't worry about it.
You should see my lawyer fees.
Yeah.
Dude, they're going to be so much.
Yep.
So much.
Not cheap.
It was never cheap.
I'm kind of seeing that now, you know,
how much it costs.
Per word almost.
You know what I mean?
You can really start breaking the number down. A lot of bill I mean? You can really start breaking the number down.
A lot of billable hours.
You can really start breaking it all down.
And they deserve it.
Shout out, Sarah.
Shout out, Sarah.
K&L Gates, shout out.
Great work, great work.
I was like, yeah, we can make somebody else pay for this, right?
That's how it works.
I hate to break the ads.
Normally not.
I mean, yeah, people say that all the time, but it does not normally ever happen or whatever.
They can pay if they lose.
Well, they certainly did the work, didn't they?
That's like whenever I got a franchise tag.
Really?
I was told that I was supposed to pay an agent.
It's like, you didn't, right?
You didn't do your job.
Yeah.
That's why the franchise tag happened.
Because you.
I'm not doing that.
Because we couldn't.
So, that's going to be a no for me, dog.
Here's 20 bucks.
Couldn't find a meter.
No.
Let's go to the funds. Let's go to fun let's go to tanner in
chicago chicago's in a bad spot huh yeah oh my god has been for a little geez louise hope tanner's
okay tanner what's going on pal hey pat what's going on boys uh i'm feeling really good um
father's day just came up and your message at the beginning really inspired me because I did lose my father in 2018,
so I really appreciate that. I really wanted to talk about the connection between Justin Fields
and DJ Moore. I know on Friday we talked a little bit about Chase Claypool, but I really want to
dive in more to DJ Moore and Justin Fields and is it really going to change the
Chicago landscape and is it going to give us uh what do you think Tanner what do you think
you know it's hard to say because I've been seeing like uh records going oh we might make
wild card but honestly I can see them I can I can see them making wild cards. Not going to lie. Okay.
Tanner loves DJ more.
Remember what's being said about Chase Claypool can all be changed in literally a day.
Yep.
Okay?
That can all be flipped completely around, especially if they're winning.
The only conversation, though, that has to happen any time you talk about the Bears is the fact that we forget this because Carolina Panthers made a play.
They had the number one pick in the draft this past year.
Worst team in the NFL.
Earned it. Same quarterback,
same head coach, maybe
another year where they bring in another weapon
and they go on and do their thing in an
NFC North that lost its big
bad wolf.
So maybe the Chicago Bears sneak into that wild card.
That'd be fun, huh, ZD, baby?
That would be awesome. Realistic thoughts
on Chicago Bears? Dude, everything I'm learning from seeing from the Bears tweets, huh, ZD, baby? That would be awesome. What are your realistic thoughts on Chicago Bears?
Dude, everything I'm learning from seeing from the Bears tweets,
obviously from the Bears,
but DJ Moore and Justin Fields is going to be an unstoppable weapon.
Oh, really?
Okay.
What are they high-fiving, dapping each other up?
They got a handshake?
You have no idea.
These routes they're running.
So crisp.
Oh, yeah.
Let's go to Dalton in Nashville on a 5-hour NG phone line.
Dalton, what's going on?
Is this nailing it here?
Yes.
Oh, he's on the phone.
Oh, he is.
He's on the phone with someone else.
Hold on.
What's here?
He's going to threaten somebody.
That's what it tells me a lot.
It's just really like
everyone projects
insecurity.
He's gone through some.
Hope everything works out, Dalton.
Peace and peace, Dalton.
Sorry, Dalton. Stay safe
out there.
He's got two phones in his car
or something.
He has a car phone.
I hope he's okay, though. Hey, Dalton. Dalton, we hope you're alright. He's got two phones in his car or something? He has a car phone. You don't have a car phone?
I hope he's okay, though, honestly.
Hey, Dalton.
Dalton, we hope you're all right.
Everybody is projecting their insecurities.
You're right.
Fuck them all, Dalton.
We're on your side, Dalton.
Get him, Dalton.
I'm part of the 9%.
Jeez, Luis.
Man.
I'm about to get heavy.
I'm genuinely worried about Dalton.
What if he would have said something to his wife?
He's like, hey, you made sure you buried that body 10 to 12 feet deep.
What if something like that happened?
I didn't think about that.
Obviously, I'm happy that was your angle.
In my head, he was about to say something.
Yeah, I thought the opposite.
Very, very.
Yeah.
Yeah, I thought he was going to say something.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a thing, I guess.
That could happen.
Oh, yeah.
We were a fly on the wall in that room of Dalton's.
Oh, my God.
I know it was the right thing to do.
It wasn't just us.
I know it was the right thing to do.
Yeah, there's no way I could sit through that guy anymore.
He's talking to his therapist.
Yeah.
I was ready to sit through that entire conversation until he said bye to that lady.
Imagine we did 20 minutes of that.
Oh, no.
It was for Spotify, for the podcast
listeners. Let's go to Brad in Indiana
on the 5RNG phone line. What's going on, Brad?
Hope everything's okay.
How's it going?
Better than Dalton.
Dalton's having a rough time.
He's going to figure it out, though.
I'm a Bears fan here. I just want to say
AJ Hawk, thanks for your dash, brother.
Thanks for your dash.
Hell yeah.
Thank you, Dash.
Amen.
You don't even know what that is, AJ.
Dash?
Yeah.
Your dash.
You're your born.
You're your dash.
Come on, dude.
Oh, okay.
Thanks for your dash.
Your dash.
Wow, AJ doesn't watch the show Geez
He's probably on vacation
Is that a Brad set?
Wow
You're welcome, bud
I think AJ's got some
Competition for champion of Ohio next year
Why? What happened?
A lady in Ohio Bought a 10-foot werewolf, keeping it up all year round, decorating it for each holiday.
I think that's championship worthy.
Okay, so real quick, Brad.
A lady in Ohio bought a 10-foot werewolf, and he's doing what with it now?
Dressing it up for each holiday.
In her front yard, she'sressing it up for each holiday.
In her front yard, she's keeping it up year-round.
Would you be annoyed if this... I mean, how much you trim your fucking hedges?
I mean, there's a lot to be annoyed with here.
That lady's a dog.
What are you talking about?
She doesn't have to trim hedges.
Thank you, Brad.
Thank you, Brad.
Yeah, maybe we worry about getting that lawn cut
before we worry about dressing up the werewolf.
Not only the lawn.
Look at the bushes.
There's fucking vines growing out of that thing.
The house is an eyesore.
Okay, I appreciate you spending money on the 10-foot fucking werewolf, but also, let's
clean the shrubbery a little bit, lady.
No, this is Ohio to a T.
I'd be fine with this in my neighborhood as long as she fucking trims those fucking hedges
and cuts her grass.
Yeah, there's a lot of weeds there, too.
One weed whacker would really do so much. What? 15 minutes
probably with a weed whacker probably changes this entire
thing. For sure. You could take some scissors
and do that in seven minutes. She doesn't have scissors.
Talk about these big ones here, AJ.
She definitely does. This is Ohio.
What the hell is going on? Don't got HOAs in Ohio?
I don't think that. Not there, bro.
There was no HOAs. Maybe not there.
I didn't even know what the fucking HOA was.
So I came out to Indiana. I don't right now.
That's what you speak about.
You've got to pay one to the building, probably.
The building you live in?
Yeah.
You pay for the pool and everything, I assume?
What is the association?
Yeah, like amenities?
Yeah, that's kind of the same thing.
They keep the building up.
You can't do this.
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.
If you were to change anything in there,
you'd probably have to ask for permission
inside the apartment.
Like change what?
Like the paint color or anything?
Or mount a TV or something like that.
That's kind of what an HOA is
in a much smaller scale for apartments.
HOA is like
one of the biggest rackets I've
ever learned of. Yeah, this is ridiculous
from so far of what I've heard. It's a complete racket.
Complete racket. You want to put in
a bush? You got to ask for permission.
What? Too many sticks. Remember
Tim got in shit with his HOA. My dad,
boy, him learning about an HOA
50 plus with the way he is,
that was certainly something. That was a thing.
He had too many sticks in his front yard, they said.
He has trees, and
sticks fall off of trees. He did not have
them properly collected in a
quick enough time, so they wrote him a letter,
like two of them, at his front door from the HOA.
They were threatening to kick him out of the fucking neighborhood.
That makes sense why people never move into homes.
Because it sounds terrible.
Imagine wanting to run
the HOA. I don't think so.
The people that are running the HOA,
real different group
of we want power. Is that like the neighborhood
watch? Neighborhood watch good, I think.
So you can't put like a
house, so you couldn't put a big dong in your front yard
in a nice neighborhood. Couldn't put a 10-foot werewolf
too. Bingo. Dirty's point.
Could not get away with a 10-foot werewolf.
It's communism. Straight up.
Yeah, let her live. Agreed.
Agreed. She doesn't have an HOA.
I'm going to guess that.
Shot in the dark. I would assume
as well.
Why? Imagine the werewolf. Most neighborhoods don't. 4 assume as well. Wait, why?
Imagine the werewolf.
Most neighborhoods don't.
Fourth of July, Pittsburgh, Ohio, I assume.
Imagine werewolf Fourth of July, fireworks coming out of that thing's orifices.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Off the top of the head, obviously, probably out of the crotch region.
Probably put some in his hands.
The lot looks much nicer there than it did in the previous picture.
You can tell it's not, though.
She trimmed it up, I think, before this photo.
Bro, she loves Halloween. Huh?
This lady? Oh, yeah. Does that say
get off my lawn? That sign right next to his foot?
Yeah, it's his house.
Gotta pay dues.
It's got a James and Columbus. I don't know how that was the call,
but I appreciate that it was.
That tweet
was a call into this show. Probably because I think the tweet
below it was, I'm coming for AJ Hawks
title next year. Oh yeah.
The lady said that? Yeah, we just didn't
see it below that one. She knows AJ Hawks.
If we were to go to that lady's house and we said
AJ Hawks said, you maybe need
to trim the bushes a little bit. She'd be like,
did AJ say that? And then boom.
President?
Zero chance.
Have you ever run into anybody from Ohio that doesn't know you?
Answer.
Yes.
Not true.
No, not true.
They might not recognize your face whenever they see you,
but as soon as they hear AJ Hawk, they go, oh, my God,
that's fucking Ohio's president.
I mean, you heard Wendy.
First thing he said when he came on here.
He's covered LeBron. Yes.
For like 15, 20 years.
And he goes, shut up.
Let me take this moment to say something.
A little starstruck.
AJ Hawk, holy fuck.
Yeah.
You used to have your poster up in my house. Sounds like Windy.
Sounds like Windy.
That's what he said verbatim.
Speaking of Windy, did he cover the LeBron James thing?
How do you feel about how LeBron, Ohio guy,
how LeBron handled the Michael Malone situation with his post?
Obviously, enjoy your
light I'm the fucking sun is an incredible line I wish a heel wrestler would have thought of this
in the beforehand but instead it's LeBron we need an album it's the offseason let's go ahead and get
that accomplished seems like he did take it personally though which I guess self-motivated
guys would have to do Malone was just joking though AJ he's just joking will you tell LeBron
that yeah yeah. I'm sure
I have so much communication with him
but when he said please
make player being cool again because the lame
machine is at an all-time high. What exactly does that
mean? I thought he was talking about us maybe
because we were doing the interview with him
Was he talking about us being lame?
Yeah, I wasn't sure. That's why I said hell yeah
to the thing. I wasn't sure
if that was a combination of also what the GM said during the parade.
Like he could have been responding to multiple things because the GM said,
and granted when he said this about Mike Malone, Mike Malone did not respond whatsoever.
Michael.
Michael.
Michael Malone.
He seemed a little pissed, but the GM said like made, you know,
Michael Malone made the Lakers his children?
Or he's the daddy of the Lakers?
Oh, you Happy Father's Day'd him?
Basically, yeah.
The GM did.
Speaking of, like...
What?
What's that?
What?
What happened?
Diggs.
What?
What?
That's his post from yesterday on Instagram.
No, it came out one minute ago.
Yeah, but this is from his Instagram yesterday.
The only reason why I know that is because this is the same caption from yesterday.
You can scroll up.
I'll take care of it.
You know, that was in his first one yesterday.
And then in a later one, he said, I'll take care of it.
So look for Twitter to have another post about Father's Day in a few hours with an I'll take care of it. As opposed to I'll take care of it. So look for Twitter to have another post about Father's Day in a few hours with an I'll take care of it
as opposed to I'll take care of it
because obviously this is from his Instagram yesterday.
He knows that Father's Day was yesterday.
This is the rock, dude.
He tweets.
The tweet doesn't go through.
The next day he checks Twitter, sees.
Tweet never went through.
I just thought that that was, we needed to know.
Tony wrote on on dry race board
the rock doesn't know what father's day is that's what he did that's what i just looked over
one of the most obscure things of all time let's talk about the weekend that was father's day
weekend oh wow bill carlson's having himself quite a parade hell yeah the las vegas golden
knights held their parade 45 days after they won the Stanley Cup.
So the boys had been on quite a bender whenever it was leading up to the parade.
Whenever Mark Stone was joining this program one day after winning the Stanley Cup,
and he found out and told us when the parade was, which was not for another four or five days,
he was genuinely concerned about how the boys were going to make it.
They did. Their fans did as well. The pictures and videos coming out of the Las Vegas Golden Knights parade
on Saturday have been remarkable.
None, though, have garnered the attention as much as wild Bill Carlson
cutting a promo about how he feels about them winning Lord O'Stonley Cup.
Okay.
You guys can hear me?
Yeah, you hear me?
So, this guy, this effing guy.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
So, he was here.
They won.
Yeah.
He was here day one.
Yeah.
And I know you have been here day fucking one.
I thought he was talking about the March of Soul.
Hell yeah.
Oh yeah, he might have been talking about the March of Soul.
You guys are so amazing.
Hell yeah.
We played Arizona in the first game.
What happened?
And we beat the shit out of them.
Okay.
Hell yeah.
What did he say?
What?
And I had no points.
No points. The boys?
No points. The boys.
No points.
But that's okay.
Because that year one, I was pretty fucking great.
Maybe not night one, but... But you guys were greater.
Oh, okay, of course.
Nice, nice.
And we've been
up and down
on this journey
to the top.
Who's that?
Is that PR lady?
No, no, no, no.
Listen to me.
Oh, yeah.
We've been waiting for six long years for this guy to be MVP.
The promo.
Drag that.
Jonathan Marcheseau.
Great intro.
Hey, great intro.
Put himself over a little bit.
Got his mic cut.
Was dragged off.
Still got the introduction done.
That's right.
Way to go, Wild Bill.
Way to go, Wild Bill.
Don't love he's getting dragged out.
How many times have you went to Stanley Cup
and have a microphone in front of thousands of people?
Exactly.
Let this drunk guy say whatever the fuck he wants.
Sorry, I was pretty fucking
great.
Them thinking, what's he going to say
next? Who knows?
Let it go. He got the words in, though,
didn't he? He did. Proper introduction.
Absolutely killed it. Congrats to all the boys
over there in Vegas having a time of their life.
Ty, as a fan since day one, did you
have a couple of whiskeys with the boys before?
I absolutely did, and Wild Bill's right, because he was couple of whiskeys with the boys before? I absolutely did.
And Wild Bill's right because he was kind of the star of the show early on.
He played out of his mind that first year.
And, yeah, I mean, I'm just glad he didn't, like, whip his dong out or something.
I'm sure that's what they were a little worried about he was going to do
because he was just feeling it up there.
He was, funny.
As he should have been.
Just vibing with Lorda.
Exactly.
Exactly.
AJ, you gave a speech after you guys won that Super Bowl, right?
What did you say to the people?
I did not, but he has great stage presence.
He really does.
We didn't have a parade like that, unfortunately.
What?
What?
It was in Green Bay.
It's like negative 30 degrees.
We walked a lap around the stadium.
This is before the parades were gigantic.
I feel like we did get screwed.
It would have been awesome to have one.
Before the parade. don't do that.
Yeah.
What's the purpose? That's definitely not true.
No. You're saying we had a
parade and I didn't know about it? No.
What we're thinking is that potentially Green Bay
kind of stole a
parade from you. Yeah, parades were big before
2010. I was at two Super Bowl parades before
you won the Super Bowl. Yes, me too.
And riots.
People were burning stuff. Yes, me too. And riots. Yeah.
Yeah.
People were burning stuff, climbing stuff.
Yeah.
No parades.
Yeah, you guys should have done it anywhere.
No parade.
How was it?
Was it packed out, though, I assume?
Green Bay Packers.
Yeah, the stadium was packed.
It was right when we got back from Dallas.
Green Bay Packers opt for Super Bowl non-parade celebration in Lambeau Field.
Boo.
Yikes.
I didn't know this.
It was Monday.
See that?
No wonder why.
Tuesday.
People say Aaron only won one.
It's like, you think the football gods are fucking pumped about what happened over there?
Jeez Louise.
You guys win the biggest one
and you say, net parade.
Yeah, that is a curse.
That is a no parade curse.
Holy shit.
Didn't even think of it till now.
Only for an hour.
Nonetheless, not even a couple hours.
Our schedule to host a victory celebration on Tuesday between 5 to 6 p.m.
Jesus.
$5 a piece for tickets.
Want to sell one of them?
They charge money.
Oh my God.
We didn't know this this entire time.
Holy shit.
AJ, I'm so sorry you didn't.
Through Ticketmaster only.
AJ climbs the mountaintop with a green backpack.
Curly Lambo's team wins a Super Bowl.
Here we go.
Parking was free.
Five bucks.
We're good.
Parking was free.
If you bought a ticket.
Yeah, correct.
Parking pass came with five
dollar ticket oh all proceeds also go to packers foundation charities okay still not a parade
erase five bucks a person yeah but still no parade curse oh i understand it's very cold out there but
we gotta have a parade gotta have a celebration it's worthy is it not not? Is Lambeau not worthy of a parade?
Yeah.
What would Lombardi do?
Vince, that is.
Oh, my God.
It is tough.
I mean, I wonder, like, if they win again, I would imagine they'll have a parade.
But, man, it's going to be cold for everybody involved.
So what they need to do is they need to do it up there at the, what's that casino?
Oh, the Oneida.
They need to shut down the Oneida and have them walk through the casino.
You know what I mean?
Yep.
Take a couple hot laps around a casino.
Yep.
And then at the end, in the parking lot, maybe there's an amphitheater.
And everybody goes outside.
You do it.
I promise you it wasn't 80 degrees in New England every time they were doing those breaks.
Yeah, no.
Actually, one year they had to really finagle the entire route because there's a ton of snow.
But, I mean, a bunch of packers fans fly in right like why wouldn't they just do it in like florida and
just go to miami and then just do a boat parade you gotta do it in the city you don't know you
don't have anything you're an owner of that team like i said there's a car totally understandable
okay totally understandable because the parking ticket is free. You get a parking pass
that's typically
$50-$60.
That guy's backyard.
You do it in Milwaukee too.
Look at this.
Big Mike looks like he's having a good time.
Joel Klatt's interviewing him.
Joel Klatt is not Joel Klatt.
Joel Klatt in 30 years.
Who's that? It's not Joel Klatt. Joel Klatt in 30 years. Who's that? Who's that?
It's not Joel Klatt, obviously.
Who's that, AJ?
He's the radio guy.
I'm just blanking on his name right now.
Oh!
Big Mike looks fit.
From 5 to 6 p.m., well.
Who's next to Big Mike?
Larry McCarron.
Well, that's Ted Thompson, the GM at the time.
RIP, great guy.
And then Larry McCarron, he's the one who has those foam fingers that are made all crooked
because he has the nastiest fingers alive.
The guy with the red scarf?
Yeah, he played.
He's a tough guy.
Larry's the man.
He looks like a mean cuss.
He does, doesn't he?
He does.
He flies planes.
He's a pilot.
He flies.
His fingers are all over the place.
Yeah, he's tough as nails.
Sounds like you're a hero here.
Where's he from, Ohio?
I'm not sure exactly where he's from he you know he he does all the stuff for green but he had a show in green bay
that like on tuesday nights we'd go do from the stadium like in a ballroom up there and it was
always fun he's yeah larry's awesome looks like it was pretty good turnout here yeah you know we're
judging a little bit no parade but it looks like it's pretty good time one hour that's it chaos
what'd you say aj i i had just come out of a an MRI super hungover lane face
down with my arm above my head for an hour almost died in there I feel like just sweating my life
away and then I had surgery like 10 hours after that on my my wrist so you can't so you got
boozed up at that thing or no uh no we were coming off we've just gotten home we we I think we just
landed and went and did it maybe it was Tuesday Tuesday. No, we didn't. It wasn't anything like that, unfortunately.
That is so dumb.
That's a curse.
The no fun parade.
The Green Bay curse.
Jesus.
Nina Payton's place is on it.
Yeah.
Mark Murphy, actually, speaking of that,
Mark Murphy has some Jeff Daniels from Dumb and Dumber in that photo.
That guy's running the team, though.
Please.
No, no, I know, but he just looks like.
He's got rosy cheeks.
Jeff Daniels from Dumb and Dumber. What do you want? Chill that. He's super pumped know, but he just looks like... He's got rosy cheeks. Jeff Daniels and Domen Domer.
What do you want? He's super pumped.
He just won a Super Bowl. Look how close he is to Lourdes.
Completely agree. He just looks like it.
Wombo.
Two for two.
Drano.
Two for two. No rims.
Jeez Louise, huh?
We're really seeing the hoop.
Wow. Hit the ball 330 this morning, too. Come Louise. We're really seeing the hoop. Whoa. Wow.
Have we hit the ball 330 this morning too?
Man.
Come on.
Hit Stairmaster this morning as well.
What?
Trying to get properly jogged for this golf tournament.
Trying to live good.
Trying to make the right decisions so the ball bounces my way.
That's how I've always been, but even more so now that I have a child.
Hope everybody had an incredible Father's Day.
Can't thank you enough for joining us on this glorious Juneteenth, 2023.
Look into it.
We all just learned about it.
Yep.
You're not a bad person.
Not a bad person.
Nope.
Learn about it though.
Cause it's a cool thing.
Pretty big piece of news.
Very.
Pretty massive piece of news.
Two years.
Important day in history.
Two years afterwards.
Well,
there's no internet,
you know,
no phone.
What are you?
Sorry about it.
Last couple of people that tried to get down here to tell us that news, they got lost somehow.
Yeah.
Lost.
Yeah.
They fell into a river and couldn't swim.
Who was it?
It was General Granger?
Yeah.
Gordon.
No.
Gordon Granger.
Gordon Granger.
He's from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania?
Joy, New York.
Yeah.
There it is.
New York.
By way of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Maybe.
Yeah.
We don't know.
We don't know.
Just want to make sure people know that. Passed through Pittsburgh. There's a chance. On his way. Yeah, we don't know. Just want to make sure people know that.
Passed through Pittsburgh.
There's a chance.
On his way.
Yeah, there's a chance.
Everyone had to.
Think about how long that drive is.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
They were on horse?
No.
Three Rivers.
He may have walked.
Gordon Granger?
It took him two years to get down there.
Has anybody told him?
No.
He passed away pretty young.
Gordon?
Yeah.
Well, I think everybody did back then.
Yeah, 51.
That's pretty big.
Isn't that a long time back then?
Well, I assume he probably had just like pieces of metal impaled in him from the war, too,
that they could never get out.
They just had to sit with for the rest of their lives.
So those people did not live long back in the day, right?
I don't think so.
It was like a quick, we're in and out of here.
Yeah, life expectancy.
Right? Isn't that a thing? Yeah, basic things would kill day, right? I don't think so. It was like a quick, we're in and out of here. Yeah, life expectancy. Right?
And the other thing? Yeah, I think
basic things would kill it, right?
Oh, yeah. Strep throat killed George Washington, right?
Really?
Clap? I thought he had chlamydia.
Yeah, the clap, sure.
A lot of people got that, right?
Have you thought about being on that boat coming over here?
Oh.
That Nina, that Pinta,
that Santa Maria. Here's Jeez Louise. The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria.
Here's life expecting 1875, which
is 10 years after
Juneteenth happened in Galveston,
Texas. 43.7
years. 51. This guy lived fucking forever.
Might as well have been 100.
If anything, they're like, Jesus,
Gordon Granger might never die.
This guy's still here. What the hell? This guy walked to Texas, turned're like, Jesus, Gordon Granger might never die. This guy's still here.
What the hell?
This guy walked to Texas, turned around, walked back, still alive.
Is that what the stores are named after?
Because those are sweet stores.
Gordon's?
Granger's.
Granger's aren't nice stores.
What are Granger's?
Hermione Granger.
I'm not shooting another ball.
Let's get out of here.
Farm supplies?
Office supplies probably dead.
No, no, farm supplies. Well, I mean, no one's going to Gr here. Farm supplies? Office supplies probably dead. That store's dead. No, no. Farm supplies.
Well, I mean, no one's going to Granger for farm supplies.
I assume people are. Quite a few people.
If it's a farm supply store, I assume those are some of the only stores that are still
popping off very well.
Oh, yeah.
Tractor supply is a great store.
Tractor supply, yeah.
Blaine's Farm and Fleet.
There's a Granger.
It's spelled differently.
Okay.
It is.
Different supplies. God, you go get a fucking safety hat

Nothing wears like a Granger
I went down to Granger and got a hard hat
Thank you
Plumbing and pumps
Got some chains for the tires too
Cause the snow's coming in like a real fucking asshole
I'm starting to think Tone's never been inside of a Granger.
Tone, you don't even know what Granger is, dude.

Similar colors.
