Hello, beautiful people. Welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdome. On this Feel Good Friday, July 7th, 2023, this sports program starts right now.
Feel Good!
Friday is happening and we are about to propel you into the greatest weekend in summer history.
This weekend, although just yesterday was documented the hottest day on this planet that we're in, wait until you see what's coming this weekend.
Your happiness is going to be in abundance.
The chuckles are going to come in a slew fashion.
You're going to be in a joyful mood because this weekend is going to be a weekend that you cut all the negative anchors out of your life.
You look in the mirror and you say, you know what?
Hey, you, you're allowed to enjoy this life.
That's what you're going to do this weekend because there isn't a lot of sports watch.
Not a lot of sports watch, not a lot of sports news going on,
but we will certainly have conversations about sports.
We got a lot of guests today, and we are very thankful for it.
Ladies and gentlemen, Laramie Tonzo will be joining us in about 20 minutes or so.
Cannot wait to chat with him.
Michael Lombardi will join us today. Alicia Baumgartner, who is the world's undisputed
super featherweight
champion of the world. That's right.
Boxer. She has a fight next
Saturday night. Alicia Baumgartner
coming on at 205. Can't wait to talk to her.
Michael Lombardi. Can't wait to hear the news that he
broke this week just accidentally slipping out of his mouth.
Casual. Just can't wait until he goes
like,
I can't wait for it. Fucking that guy and laramie tonzo has become a friend of the program
remember there was a man that nobody had known what he had looked like for a long long time and
then in a laramie tonzo interview with us old buddy just kind of slipped in the back there like
bigfoot walking through the back of a photo or of a video it was an incredible thing and i can't
wait to chat with him again we can't wait to chat with you as well on a 5-hour on your phone line, maybe.
Yeah, we'll see.
1-833-432-3663.
1-833-4...
Da-doom!
I guess there are some carriers that aren't getting through as easy
as maybe other carriers.
We test it every single day.
Some people are able to get through.
Some people are not able to get through.
If you're able to get through, come on, bring it.
It's Feel Good Friday.
Hell yeah.
If you're not, we do apologize.
We'll be back Monday, hopefully, with that figured out.
With that being said, we just hope that this computer just does something.
Yeah, fix it.
Figure it out.
Hey, come on.
Come on, AI.
Come on, dude.
Cricket and Booze Mobile aren't getting through?
Dude, no.
Sprint, neither.
Let's go.
Ridiculous.
This thing's a sellout.
It is.
Big time.
Figure it out.
It will. I'm disg time. Figure it out. It will.
I'm disgusted.
Anyways, can't wait to chat with you, whoever makes it through.
And can't wait to chat with AJ Hawk in about 56 minutes or so.
We got Tahoe next week, okay?
We got a lot to talk about, a lot to do, a lot of stories to wrap up.
And let's dive into it.
The Talks at Table is here at Ty Schmidt, at Boston Corner,
and at Boston Corner's Flowing Mullet. Boys,
not a bad week. A lot of things going on.
The shame of it all, Ty,
and you know this, is these summer weekends
whenever you potentially have a one-month
old or a two-month old, you're going to be
in the house for a good amount.
Depending upon what you need to do, whether
it's a diaper change, a feeding,
you're crying, it's too hot outside. It's actually
the hottest it's ever been.
So don't think a baby can actually be outside at night.
You've got to be in there.
And golf kind of carries us through the day.
And I know Wimbledon's happening, so I would dive into it. Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. But normally I'll watch golf.
The John Deere Classic fucking stinks this year.
What is the deal, Ty?
John Deere is associated with something that is ass.
That's not normal at all.
I've seen a list of top five most liked companies on earth.
John Deere was in there.
That's right.
Now they've got a golf tournament this weekend.
It's going to be a big letdown.
What's that all about?
I think something or some of it has to do with the fact that the uh the open
championship is right around the corner and i believe in next week they're playing in scotland
so a lot of guys are going over there early to you know practice on the links courses and kind of and
unfortunately the john deere is kind of just the victim in all this because usually the john deere
is a pretty solid field it kind of is. I think a lot of guys like
playing there, but the
real star of the show at the John Deere Classic
isn't the golfers. It never has been.
It's that big fucking John Deere
piece of equipment that they put
up with the golf ball and they let the kids come over
and knock it around.
What's your favorite John Deere equipment?
My personal favorite John Deere tractor is probably
the John Deere 4440 probably the John Deere 4440
or the John Deere 4400.
What about 6030?
6030 is a good piece of machinery as well.
Well, that's the thing, too, for Tyler.
The list kind of just goes on and on.
On.
Yeah, it goes on and on and on and on.
And it's tough to pick one that is your favorite.
But I'll definitely still watch the John Deere.
Absolutely.
I mean, I make sure it's appointment viewing. But yeah, it does
kind of stink when you're looking at the leaderboard
and you're expecting these names.
And it's just on and on and on
and on and on. And you're seeing a lot
of guys that you either don't want to watch
or you've never really heard of.
Speaking of golf, congratulations to the audience.
We have a new
voice. Yes, we do.
Since we've signed with PXG, shout out to PXGB and this show's golf.
Love you, PXG.
We fucking love them.
Yeah.
The clubs are so hospitable, honestly.
I'm duffing balls and they're going in the same place that non-duffs would.
If you're a very, very, very, very good golfer, you're on TV golfing.
Sure.
At the John Deere Classic, probably, even though we don't know who the fuck you are.
You probably wouldn't like these clubs, I guess,
because the sweet spot seemingly is the whole fucking thing.
So I would assume the sweet spot not as good as maybe the high-end sweet spots
where it's like real small, real tiny.
But this PXG club that I'm swinging right now, I fucking love it.
I am genuinely.
So the fact that they wanted to get into a partnership together, even better. I mean
this is good news. In doing so, we
went back and watched our Radio Row interview
with Bob Parsons, who's
obviously the billionaire
who owns PXG, was originally with
GoDaddy, was in the Vietnam
War. His story
loves
not hallucinogens. Psychedelics.
Psychedelics. How to change your mind yeah it
actually book he said he he got he came back to america from vietnam in like 70 whatever it was
and he said he felt like he finally came home in like 2017 or something yeah 45 years whenever he
took the psychedelics whatever it was he said i finally felt like i got through it so he's an
advocate advocate for that one of the most interesting guys of all time. I mean, there's a club he owns in Phoenix that, like, the way he got the club, he just bought the club.
Yep.
And then he just gave every member, like, a million.
I am so sorry that I did that.
I know.
I love the place, too.
Maybe you can come back.
And then he created, like, the nicest golf course in the world.
Yes.
He is, if we were to be billionaires, we'd be like, some of the things he's done it's like okay thank you for even
planting that seed yeah good idea in a conversation with him he dropped that one yeah i don't remember
what he was talking about but i have kind of made it a point to anytime you can squeeze in
conversation or you know you're listing off multiple things you just you go on and on and on
and on and i've thought about that damn near every day since we had that conversation.
So, yeah, this pairing with BXG, it's just been beautiful,
and I'm glad that I actually get to say it all the time.
I'm pretty pumped that we – I don't think that's –
It doesn't look like him.
I don't think that's him.
It looks much taller.
Anyways, Zeed, let's not ruin the relationship you know immediately we actually
had a guy on the show he's sitting two feet from me i do not believe that is the guy could be i
mean not 100 sure but we almost ruined the relation there he is there he is there he is
there he is beast when you're talking about this guy's successful decisions when you start making
that list it just kind of his list of accolades just goes on and on
and on and on.
But yeah, you're right. We almost
torpedoed that relationship. Not we.
It wasn't you.
It wasn't me.
It wasn't Tone. It wasn't Foxy.
It was not Zito. It was not Nick.
It was almost you that fucking ruined it.
We have a golf partner now. Think about that.
What a joke this show in this place of life in which we are right now.
And Conor almost ruined it with one question.
That was 20 minutes into a conversation.
20, 20.
Oh, we can go back and check the tape.
I think it was 50 minutes into a conversation.
Where did you come up with the idea for the waste management?
No, I said, isn't it nice having a major at your own
or having a tournament at your own golf course?
And obviously his golf course is not letting any public or TV.
Yeah, it is not to where the Waste Management is.
So he actually said, as soon as Connor asked this question,
first time, let's say it was 45, 50 minutes in.
It was.
Things were flowing.
Good, good, good, good, good, good.
Loving everything he said.
Question from Connor.
Your golf course hosting this big tournament this weekend,
Waste Management or whatever.
What has that been like or whatever?
And his response is, what is this guy saying?
What is he talking about?
So then I have to fly.
I go, Phoenix, you know, the city of Phoenix
and how big the game of golf is out here.
Obviously, you're a part of it.
Waste management's this weekend.
How do you feel about the state of golf in Arizona, right?
And I'm just hoping to myself, like,
hopefully he did think that there
was some audio. He didn't forget
that. No, he has not.
That one got into his brain,
got on the hamster wheel, and it
went on and on and on
and on and on.
And he has not forgotten. No, he hasn't.
Thank you, Connor.
Anytime, guys.
He's in such a great place mentally
that I know that when he does think back
to that, he gets pissed, sure. You don't think he thinks,
man, this guy did zero preparation at all.
He had no idea who he was talking to.
You don't think he said that? No, I do think he thinks that.
And I also think that
when he thinks of me in his brain,
he just sees what most people do
and that's a big, dumb, dipshit, and that's fine.
So my big thing about it is while you were asking the question,
I had held off on asking the question because I thought there was a chance he did own the course.
Yeah.
Wasn't 100% sure, though, so kept it in.
You know, just kind of.
Yeah, that's it.
I put it down.
Now, I did, you know, anytime I send, you guys have any questions?
Yeah.
Okay, cool, cool, cool.
I'm like, all right, anything I missed, I thought it would come up.
That was one of the things you missed.
I thought it would come up in the whole thing.
So when you're asking a question, I'm like, ooh, here we go.
All right, we are going to find out, you know, because I'm intrigued by this.
And then as soon as I see his face, it starts to, like, turn a little bit.
Contort.
All right, it is not.
No, he does not.
Also, right before that question, he told us the title of his book that hasn't even came out yet, Breaking News.
Oh, yeah.
Connor dunks on him afterwards.
Yeah, well, what was I supposed to ask the guy?
Hey, what do you eat for lunch?
I mean, the amount of questions.
You guys asked all the good questions.
Oh, yeah, self-made billionaire, huh?
The guy has no questions.
He talked for 40 minutes.
He talked for 20 minutes about being a self-made billionaire.
He was awesome, by the way.
He was fantastic. He shakes some shit up, being a self-made billionaire. He was awesome, Bob. He was.
Fantastic.
He shakes some shit up, that guy.
Oh, yeah.
And he also watched, typically there are some people that came through the back at the Super Bowl when you would introduce them.
He walked right up the front, walked right out the front, and then he just left.
That was the only reason he was there.
No, he was hanging out in the back for a little bit.
He was fucking spitting fire back there, I promise you.
Oh, yeah, he was.
Oh, I could imagine.
Yeah, whenever you get... He was talking everyone up. He just sat down and got real comfortable. He was fucking spitting fire back there. I promise you. Oh, yeah, he was. Oh, I could imagine. Yeah, whenever he kicked... He was talking everyone up.
He just sat down and got real comfortable.
He was like, oh, let me...
And we didn't have the headset wire long enough.
So we kind of set him up for failure.
He shook everyone's hand in the back.
Oh, yeah. What a legend.
The wires weren't long enough.
Sometimes they're too long and they just
go on and on.
We get it.
If the JD Classic doesn't do it for you this weekend,
Liv's doing flash mobs every 30 minutes at their tournament this weekend.
Yeah, so what happened?
I've seen that.
It's not a flash mob whenever you hire people that are from a dance recital
to do a dance on the opening tee.
I don't know.
Right?
It's pretty cool, though.
Flash mob is kind of like out of nowhere,
something that just goes on and on and on and on,
and more people are coming to be.
You're right.
These are marks who were hired to do this.
Yeah, that's why.
When I saw the video, which was just moments ago,
I did not follow with this as soon as it was put up there,
but this is clearly a hired crew, right?
Because security, like flash mobs go to like a mall.
Right.
Yeah.
And in the middle of a bunch of people somewhere out of nowhere,
bang,
we're doing this thing.
This one just feels like
they hired an opening act,
which,
I don't mind it.
Let's do it.
Are we sure?
Because they got volunteers there.
I thought they just jumped in.
Whoa.
They're having sex.
No, no, no.
Tony, they're dancing.
Tony, that's a dance move.
Okay, you would never understand.
They're dancing.
Just one time,
learn the art of swing dancing.
Okay, not swinging. There was a male porn star that used to, he was so tiny, he would never understand. Just one time, learn the art of swing dancing. Okay, not swinging.
There was a male porn star that used to, he was so tiny, he would jump up.
Who is this?
Who is this?
What's his name?
I've seen that film.
Are you talking about Jordy El Pollo?
Yeah, thank you.
He's talking about Ron Jeremy.
You do love Jordy El Pollo's work.
You have talked about that quite a bit.
Wasn't he in the background on your phone for a little while? Yeah, flipped upside down. Yeah, flipped upside down. You do love Jordi El Pollo's work. You have talked about that quite a bit.
Wasn't he in the background on your phone for a little while?
Yeah, flipped upside down. Yeah, flipped upside down.
I don't know what's worse, okay?
I honestly don't know what's worse.
I don't know what's worse than tone.
That's his first thought.
Oh, that's like that little fellow who used to do whatever.
And then Nick knowing the guy's fucking name.
I don't know what is.
He was a Spider-Man.
You guys are disgusting.
I just need to know you.
You guys are disgusting i just need to know you guys are disgusting oh man i'm not familiar with his work either sounds awesome just imagine spider-man what was that a couple years back there was a uh porn bracket we learned
a lot about you guys yeah did we i did i want to let you know i learned a lot about people that i
had been hanging out with for a long time you guys were giving breakdowns of all these different and i've never been more
flustered in my life so you guys know oh she's got nothing on boom i'm like what is your guys
problem here it's like it's not our problem what is your problem we were young single men for a
long time well said just bopping in the same waters where Althusser was.
Yeah.
Shout out.
Living.
Shout out.
Shout out 7-7.
Shout out 7-7.
Shout out 7-7.
7-7, Dave.
All right, let's talk about some sports stuff.
The NFL releases every single year, and I'm going to get the actual name here because
it's not really cleverly titled, but it is certain that it is something that is a weapon.
This is titled the 2023 NFL Record and Factbook.
It is for the public to use.
It's at NFL.com.
It is 800 and some pages long.
Jeez.
Okay?
So as I'm learning of this subject through Bruce, who found it.
Shout out, Bruce.
Atta boy, Bruce.
Bruce is scanning 852-page documents.
Love that.
Appreciate that.
It feels like it's something that's handing out to all the PR people around the NFL like hey just a heads up here's some things that are happening here's some
stuff out of the 2023 NFL record and fact book that I am very very pumped oh yeah Joe Burrow
needs 4,000 passing yards in 30 touchdown passes to join Paisano Pittsburgh Yenzer Dan Marino is
the only players ever to reach those marks In three of their first four seasons
Hey way to go Joe
Joe can get 4,030 no problem
Especially with the weapons they have
What if they bring in DeHaan
Now just to be clear they have not been linked to DeAndre Hopkins
At all
But why not
Add another weapon out there
Joey Burrow and Dan Marino
Both considered incredibly cool people I believe both loved Burrow and Dan Marino, both considered incredibly cool people, I believe.
Both loved by their teammates.
Dan Marino had that quick release that he used to work on when he died in Oakland, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
He went to Central Catholic, obviously honed that thing in.
Goes to the University of Pittsburgh, likes to have a good time.
Sue him.
Sue him.
Then they sent him down to Miami.
Perfect.
Match made in heaven.
Pits right in.
And the guy's a fucking dog on the field.
Obviously never wins a Super Bowl. That kind of is the only
thing that anybody ever says about him. But
changed games, was an absolute stallion.
And now he
has a stat that we are just learning about
because there's another cool motherfucker from Ohio
that is potentially going to go get him. That's
Joe Burrow. Next one that we enjoyed
and thought should be heard. Josh Allen and Patrick
Mahomes need 35 touchdown passes to become the
first players ever with at least 35
touchdown passes in four
consecutive seasons. Congrats to these boys!
That's wild. Josh Allen said over
35 in three consecutive seasons?
I never would have guessed. Remember that first
couple years you would say no to.
And then immediately after that, he got real good
real quick. And there's actually a reason
why is because when he's scouting the defense,
he's not looking for just, you know, like what the scheme is.
He's not looking for what the coverage is.
He's trying to learn the personnel.
He's trying to figure out who to attack, who not to attack.
This is from the Bussin' with the Boys podcast that they shot during
tight end university.
And Will Compton, obviously NFL legend on the defensive side of the ball, linebacker.
And Taylor LeJuan, start diving
into a convo about Josh Allen
in his brain when he's looking at a defense.
If you were out there on Austin Eckler,
you know what we call that? What check we would give?
House call? Milk check. What's the milk check?
That's pretty self-explanatory.
You're 2%, brother.
I love that. Milk check?
Milk.
Hey, we got white linebacker out there. You're 2%, brother. I love that. Milk check? Milk. Will you be like,
hey, we got white linebacker out there.
We're going.
Double move.
Do you have checks like that?
He just looked around
and said milk.
I think white guys
don't belong in the NFL.
Oh, okay.
I'm just trying to
get my bearings here.
I mean, I don't think so.
You guys got a stud?
You guys got a stud white on defense. Matt. Matt Milano. He's Italian. Get my bearings here. No. I mean, I don't think so. You guys got to start. You guys got to start white on defense.
Matt.
Yeah.
Matt Milano.
He's Italian.
He's a different.
Us whites, we get to claim him.
We get to claim him.
No, we get to claim him.
Don't say white.
He's not white.
Stop saying that.
Matt Milano is olive.
Dude, it's an honor to be on the field, and you're like the only Caucasian out there.
It's got to be happening a lot more when you're on defense.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And when it's like notice, and the boys are like, hey, Will, you know you're the only
white dude out here?
And I'm like, trust me, I've noticed the entire time.
Trust me.
I've been waiting for somebody else to see this.
I've been waiting for you guys to.
So, yeah, Josh Allen doesn't like white guys on the field.
No, I love him, actually.
Easy.
No, because I get to give a milk check.
Yeah, yeah, a milk check.
So I absolutely love that because he's probably looked at Cole Beasley, lined up on a linebacker,
and said, milk check to Cole Beasley.
And Cole Beasley and Josh Allen both know,
we got a sloppy, slow white right here.
Okay, let's go ahead and shake the shit out of him.
Love that.
Love everything about it.
And there's multiple different locker rooms there talking.
That is what it is actually like,
just to let people know.
And it's those types of conversations that actually open borders and open boundaries and open friendships and
relationships whenever you're able to mock and make fun of other people without being scared
it brings people together you know it absolutely brings people together and everybody hears the
mantra that we hope that one day the nfl locker room will be a depiction of what all of society is.
And I think we're certainly getting there.
I think we are certainly coming together and getting a lot better as a one.
And I think there's a lot of petty differences that people have that they latch on to a little bit too long and they ruin relationships with.
In the locker room, you're going to disagree with people about a lot of stuff.
And it's like, hey, we don't got time.
Because if you don't fucking block your guy, I'm going to get beheaded.
So we need to get in here.
We need to move.
And those conversations are incredible.
But Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, on pace to set a record, both in the AFC.
You got an AFC team.
You got two quarterbacks at the top of it.
Then you add in Joe Burrow, who's about to break Dan Marino one.
You got three quarterbacks at the top of it.
Setting all-time NFL fucking records, pretty much. Good luck to the A Burrow, who's about to break Dan Marino one. You've got three quarterbacks on top of it, setting all-time NFL
fucking records, pretty much.
Good luck to the AFC side. Here's another one
that we found to be pretty fantastic.
Justin Jefferson, dog.
And Devontae Adams need 1,500 receiving
yards to become the first players ever
to reach the mark in three consecutive
seasons. Obviously, it's a much more passing
league. It's a much more passing-friendly
league. But nonetheless, it has been a passing-friendly league for a while now.
Three consecutive seasons.
These two are about to do something that the NFL has never seen before.
Would Justin Jefferson be the first to ever have it in his first three years?
Yeah, that's another.
Add that later.
Yeah, everything he does, really.
See, those particular stats for
justin jefferson they just kind of go on and on and on and on yeah all those records that he's
gonna break because he's been doing this since day one are just gonna go on and on and on and on
that's why it's 852 pages this fucking thing justin jefferson has got one record here and then
sub in those records for how young, how quick.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
Going to be the GOAT when it's all said and done stats-wise,
and I can't wait to hear what the conversation is.
The Devontae Adams stuff is kind of crazy because just because he went to the Raiders last year
and they weren't that good, it seems like people kind of thought he almost had a down year.
He clearly didn't.
He was fucking incredible last year, but it's crazy how much changes when rogers isn't throwing him the ball
and he's not going to the playoffs and the last one here is since 1974 overtime scoring has gone
this way 443 times the games have been one of the field goal kick 88 times the game's been one of
the touchdown pass 52 times the games have been one with a touchdown run in 21 times uh they were
one of interception return for a TD.
Congratulations to all those teams getting big-time dubs
and for kickers mattering.
Okay.
That's right.
Okay.
Joining us now is a man who matters a lot more than any kicker
on a football field.
He's at, like, second most important position probably on a football field.
Oh, boy.
And he's not just out
there he's dominant he's a fucking beast he's also off the field an incredible human being
his entire foundation has done fantastic things on mother's day they paid for shopping sprees
for single mothers at like nordstrom they went to a spa day then they had dinner somewhere just
taking care of the community he's got a youth camp coming up here in like a week that he's just putting on.
Absolute stallion of a man that is supposed to be representing the NFL.
Ladies and gentlemen, Laramie Tunzel.
Yeah, baby!
How are you, dude?
Appreciate it, guys.
How you doing?
I'm doing well, man.
What about yourself?
Hey, I'm great.
I just read something here.
I did some research on you.
And this is wild.
I would not have expected this from a left tackle.
Okay?
I would not expect this from a left tackle.
It said that you hosted the game show thing at the end of minicamp for the Houston Texans.
Now, this is something I love.
I love that D'Amico's like, hey, we need a team bonding thing.
We've had a great minicamp.
Let's bring everybody together.
Left tackle, offense alignment, hosting this thing. Hey, that's not normal. Letterman, we need a team bonding thing. We've had a great mini camp. Let's bring everybody together. Left tackle, offense alignment, hosting this thing.
Hey, that's not normal.
Laramie, you're a dog, dude.
How's the team?
You guys are together, huh?
We got a good squad.
We feel good about what's going on down in Houston right now, Laramie?
Absolutely, man.
Let's talk about that game night.
You know, actually, I hosted a game night at Andretti's.
It's kind of like a bigger David Buffers.
And I just wanted to get the players together and just bond, you know,
just have fun, get to know each other just a little bit better
instead of knowing each other just in the facility.
Like, let's know each other off the field.
Let's build these relationships.
And let's get tight because that's what helps win games.
Yeah, huge.
I mean, off the field, every team that I've seen that likes each other
is normally really good, you know.
But also, on the flip side, if you're really good,
you like each other more because you're all benefiting you know it's kind of like uh you're probably
going to hang out more when things are going well than when it's not going well but it feels like
every team that likes each other is much better does it feel a new energy in houston because
obviously what you guys have been going through seemingly just uh i don't want to say monotony
but seemingly just a continuous circle of what the fuck's going on.
Got great players.
D'Amico's new coach.
New quarterback.
We got game night happening at Andretti's.
What?
Is it a whole new vibe in Houston?
You can feel it, Laramie?
It's a whole new vibe, man.
D'Amico came in with that energy that he brought from San Fran.
And it just changed the whole vibe around the building.
And that's something that we needed.
Especially since these last past three years, man.
We've been in the rut. So, D'Amico come in the building. He brought some new we needed especially since these last past three years man we've been in the rut so then we could come in the building he brought some new
coaches in we got some new players man it's just a whole new vibe that's in that building it feels
great to be there let's talk about a new player cj stroud huh we saw him uh play football against
the georgia bulldogs oh yeah we're hello hey they gave us a microphone at the semi-finals and the
national championship,
and we were just roaming, just walking the fucking field there. I had an open microphone, live on ESPN2, just walking.
I caught a fucking field goal.
You remember?
Oh, yeah.
I caught a field goal that happened in the game.
We should not have been allowed to do that.
But in doing that, we had a blast.
We got to see C.J. Stroud up, like, real close.
I was, like, four yards away from him, and I'm like, that's a Sunday fucking quarterback got to see C.J. Stroud up like real close. I was like four yards away from him.
And I'm like, that's a Sunday fucking quarterback right there.
That guy is a Sunday quarterback.
He handled himself well.
They said through the year, everything about his leadership
and everything was phenomenal.
What have you seen from him?
And he's a Sunday quarterback, obviously.
He's going to be because he was drafted so high.
But what have you seen from him that makes you think like,
hey, this guy's going to be a guy in the NFL?
Pat, everything you just said, it hits it on the head.
He handled himself well.
He came in the building with these unbelievable leadership skills,
and he's killing it, man.
How I describe CJ, dog.
He's a straight dog.
He comes in there ready to work.
He handles the huddle perfectly, and he go out there and ball, man.
You know, you got to appreciate that, especially in a young quarterback like CJ.
I know you're huge.
I know you are fucking 6'5", 3'13".
Dog.
That has to be fun, bud.
They said 3'13"?
That's what it said right here, yeah.
Is that a lie?
3'25", yeah.
Oh, damn.
Well, you know that muscle weighs more.
You got to space that a little bit.
You know that muscle weighs.
Is that what we're trying to be all season, 325?
Absolutely.
Is that bigger or normal than what you usually are?
No, that's been the same.
That's been my consistent weight since 2019.
I love that you don't step on a scale at training camp,
so that's why this number's wrong.
That's what that feels like.
How do you feel, though?
You feel fast?
What year is this for you now?
Year eight, man.
Congrats.
Year eight.
Here we go.
Thank you.
Full-fledged vet at this point, man.
You're the old man.
How's the body?
Everything good?
Everything good, man.
I appreciate you asking.
You know, I'm like the OG in the building now.
Like the mentor.
Everybody look at me for answers.
You enjoy that role?
Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.
I had some great mentors coming to lead.
I had Brendan Alpert.
I had Mike Pouncey.
You know, I had some good guys.
So, yeah, I'm ready to step in this role.
Do we change anything this year?
Change any, like, do you change stuff at this stage with how great you've been?
Or you work on stuff?
Or you just try to be you every year
i try to be me every year stay consistent i think that's one of my biggest things man
i've been working on my kit step at home i don't know let me see it again let me see it i don't
know if it's right for public and i've been working on a little different you know jabs
you know i'm trying to get to my spot there i mean i'll fucking meet him there
absolutely he'll meet me there get to that spot there, I mean, I'll fucking meet him there. Absolutely. He'll meet me there. Get to that spot.
Are we grabbing?
We grabbing?
No.
Grab.
Straight up, shoulder pads coming to you.
Straight grab.
A little holding, but don't tell nobody, you know.
It's not your fault.
Everybody's doing okay.
If you want to blow the whistle, throw the flag, do what you got to do.
That's on you.
But I'm just trying to do what I do.
Hey, hold on.
Last year, I just watched it in your fave football bosa got incredibly pissed about somebody jumping on the
snap pretty much yeah before the ball that seemed to be like a little thing last year it felt like
defensive ends and uh outside linebackers were a little bit pissed about tackles maybe moving
earlier or whatever has that changed at all or has that always been kind of how it is that's
that's been how it always is.
We got a job to do, man.
We got to buy those guys from coming out there at full speed.
So if we get out the ball a little early, it's okay, man.
It's fine.
If they ain't throwing that flag, it's nothing wrong, you know?
And what do you got?
You got to have your head break the ass in the center, right?
You can't be back too far.
Are you trying that at all times or no?
I'll be all
over the place. I'm not going to lie to you.
That's because you're tipping plays, dude.
You know, you got internet people telling
us that all the offensive linemen are tipping
plays from the way that they stand.
It's like they got a fucking 285-pound
guy that runs a 4.5
right now trying to get to a spot.
Have you seen the change in the athletes playing
D-end?
Bro, athletic.
Athletic guys coming
out there. They're able to
bend, speed,
power. You know, they have all those
three things combined.
You know, it's getting tougher every year. They draft
a new guy who's come in with
younger legs and ready to come off the ball.
Who's somebody that's different whenever you play against him?
Is there anybody?
I always got to give my kudos to Myles Garrett, man.
He got it.
He got it.
He got everything.
He got the whole package.
He can bend.
He can power.
He can finesse.
You know, he comes with everything.
So, you know, I got to tip my hat off to Myles.
As always, I've been tipping my hat off to miles as always i've been tipping my i've been tipping my head off to miles since we've been playing in
college so has he been dunking basketball since then he's too fucking big to be doing what he's
doing on that basketball court bro he's like 290 with me then bro how why is that how's that work
he's different how he's just built different, it sounds like.
They put something in the water for sure.
That'd be so cool to have.
I need to get that water to my daughter.
Yeah, that'd be fun.
I need to get that water to my daughter.
The boys have a couple questions for you.
Larry, go ahead, Tone.
Yeah, Larry, speaking of DNs and pass rushers,
you guys drafted one super early.
When Will Anderson gets drafted that early, are you eager to test him out in practice and training camp?
I'm sure.
I don't know if you guys are doing an OTAs or stuff like that.
How does he look?
He looks good, man.
We needed a guy to come off the edge, and I'm glad we got Will.
I'm glad Will's a part of the team.
For sure, we're going to work in practice.
Absolutely.
He's going to make me better.
I'm going to make him better.
That's the whole mindset of the whole team. We're going to work and practice. Absolutely. He's going to make me better. I'm going to make him better. You know, that's the whole mindset of the whole team.
You know, we're just trying to make each other better.
When we get on Sundays, it'll be easy.
You work every day?
You take G days?
How many G days?
G days.
Vet days?
Yeah.
Shit, I need some vet days.
Hey, you're the vet now, dude.
You can't.
You know what I mean?
You know what I mean?
I got to talk to D'Amico.
I'm like, let me get a couple vet days.
How is D'Amico? He's obviously's obviously former player everybody loved him in san francisco back in houston i saw everybody that's ever played alongside the meeko or for
the meeko was like yes yes yes i think his former player in a head coaching role i think that's
fucking great for everybody how How has it been?
You say changing the entire vibe.
What do you mean by that?
Just more transparent?
More energy?
What is it?
Just more energy, more transparent.
Like, you know what you're getting from D'Amico every day.
You know, he's a former player, and he stepped into this head coaching role.
That's something that we need.
You know, we need a player's coach who listens to our ideas
and willing to change things around.
We need a young guy who's going to come in the building
and bring the consistent energy that we need to make us a great team.
So, you know, hat off to D'Amico for coming in the building
and stepping in that role and embracing it.
He's been doing a great job.
You know what they say, though?
They say, like, former players will be too soft on players,
not accountable enough.
But it's like you watch that San Francisco 49ers defense.
Everybody's fucking too.
They are at the exact spot they need to be to, right?
Exactly.
I think that's kind of a misconception, though, of ex-players as coaches,
I think, Laramie.
I won't say soft, but I would say, you know, he took care of us.
You know, that's something that we need in this day and age.
17 games, bro.
17.
Hey, that's going to be 18. 17. Oh, 17. Hey, that's going to be 18.
17.
Oh, yeah.
Bro.
That's going to be 18.
And it's going to be 18.
They're changing that rule next year, right?
Dude, they're going to.
Probably.
And if they can add another bye week.
That's insane.
I think if they can add another bye week, too, that's 18,
then 20 weeks of football.
They just put out the stats.
Hold on.
I just literally just looked this up from the 2023 NFL record and fact book at NFL.com.
The top 20 television broadcasts of 2022 is all NFL games.
All 20 of them, dude.
Top 20.
Look, Super Bowl pregame show, number nine.
So all these people that are losing their mind over Vanderpump rules
and all this other stuff, I respect it.
I appreciate it.
And that son of a bitch.
Tom Sandoval.
Sandoval, that guy.
Top 20, all the NFL.
So if they can get two more weeks by adding a game,
Laramie, they don't give a fuck if you're rolling into a Sunday, pal.
How do you treat the body? How do you treat the body?
How do you treat the body week to week?
What is it?
You cold tub guy, acupuncture?
What do you do?
Cold tub, needle and acupuncture, everything.
Everything, man.
Everything I get my hands on.
You know, I try to take care of the body as best as I can, especially just having 17 games.
17 plus.
You know, I got to look at it like that.
You know, I try to get my hands on everything.
You know, I ask the older
guys that's in the locker room, you know, what they
do for their body and
how can it benefit me? You know, I try to
talk to the nutritionists, I talk to the trainers,
whatever I can do, man, whatever I can do to take
care of this body because, you know, it's all about longevity.
You know, I'm trying to be in this thing for a long time,
not a short time. Okay, so you are trying
to play like another 10 years here? Hello, that sounds good to me. Can I keep stacking these contracts? I'm trying to be in this thing for a long time, not a short time. Okay, so you are trying to play like another 10 years here?
Hello, that sounds good to me.
Can I keep stacking these contracts?
I'm good.
Yes, you can.
Shout out, Saint.
Shout out, Saint.
Shout out, Saint.
Yes, you absolutely can.
You know, the all-time leading tackler for the Green Bay Packers,
he came out on a podcast and said he used to drink his own urine.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Yeah, because it made his body recover.
Yeah, something to think about if you want to.
Connor has a question. Yeah, a lot of tackles, though. He's from Ohio. that's right yeah because it made his body recover yeah something to think about if you want to uh connor has a question yeah a lot of tackles though he's from ohio that's right from ohio connor has a question for you laramie yeah obviously the last couple years haven't gone
exactly the texans way you know and with this new regime from what it sounds like it's completely
you know turn the building on its head in the best possible way what do you think kind of the
expectations are because not only is it a new coach you know you have a rookie quarterback but
like we mentioned earlier he's an absolute stud so what do you think kind of inside the building
the uh expectations are for your entire team it is simple man just win win games you know come
come together as a team and win more games that we've been
winning.
You know, we try to have a winning season and no matter how it looks like we want to
win games.
And I think the guys that have been in the locker room for these last three years, you
know, we're probably going through the same thing, you know, so we try to switch it up
and win some games.
That's, that's, that's how I look at it.
I don't think people fully understand because obviously you just talked about contracts in the nfl and professional athletics everybody knows
exactly how much money you're making to do everything that you do right so they all like
it's an easy thing for fans to say well he gets to lay his head down on a stack of money at night
so i'm sure losing is fucking miserable in the nfl everybody in the building thinks they're
getting fired so like chefs think they're in the building thinks they're getting fired. So like chefs think they're getting fired.
Trainers think they're getting fired.
Coaches think they're getting fired.
Players think they're getting fired.
So every day you're walking into a building of misery.
That's a lot of motivation, Laramie.
Exactly.
Walking into the building straight misery.
Like, no, no, it's tough being there,
especially just losing constantly, you know,
losing back to back games. Like don't nobody in the building want to be there. losing constantly you know losing back-to-back
games like don't nobody in the building want to be there so you know we gotta we gotta turn that
around we gotta change this energy man and turn this program around to a winner program
laramie i i don't want to be the one that you're six five three twenty five
i just don't want to be the guy to tell you the colts are fucking back too
hey you hear me i mean the colts are fucking back, too, pal. Uh-oh. Hey, you hear me?
You hear me?
The Colts are fucking back, dude.
Hate to break, dude.
We got a guy that does backflips at quarterback.
That's right.
And windmill dumps.
Absolutely.
Y'all got a B-set quarterback.
Absolutely.
You watch any of those highlights, you hear me?
You think, oh, no.
Yeah, that's what you hear.
You know, ha, ha, ha.
You know what I mean?
He's an athlete.
I give that to him. He's an athlete, man.
But listen, there's going to be a battle. All right. There's going to be a battle. CJ Stroud would probably dunk, too, if I had to. I give that to him. He's an athlete, man. But listen, there's going to be a battle.
All right.
There's going to be a battle.
CJ Stroud probably dunked too if I had to.
I would assume.
Through his legs though, like Anthony Richardson?
First of all, I hung out with CJ outside and we actually went to the gym a couple times to shoot some hoops.
CJ got a sniper on him, man.
Yeah.
Hey, when we talked to him.
DJ.
Because Josh McCown. Yeah. Who you know, Josh on him, man. Yeah. He said he did. Hey, when we talked to him, because Josh McCown.
Yeah.
Who you know, Josh McCown, obviously.
Yeah, I know Josh, yeah.
Josh McCown told CJ something about playing in Charlotte whenever he's there.
So we brought it up to CJ about basketball.
I guess he's a fucking real player.
I guess CJ's.
Yeah, me, bro.
Hey, these quarterbacks are different these days, doesn't it?
It feels like.
Now, I don't want to take any shots
at anybody, but I will.
Tom Brady.
Tom Brady walks into an LA Fitness,
okay,
or Equinox gym
and picks up a basketball.
He's getting run off the fucking court.
Probably. Absolutely.
No offense, Tom Brady.
You're much better at everything than I am.
Well, maybe not crypto investments.
Yeah, that's also true.
But that just came out.
That just came out this morning.
Literally just learned about it.
But he would get run.
Peyton Manning, listen, I'm sure Peyton can shoot.
I've seen him play knockout with his brother.
I'm sure he can figure out how to shoot.
If he was to play pickup, though, in any place, get run off.
Anthony Richardson walks in there, he's running the. Anthony Richardson walks in there, he's running
the court. CJ walks in there, he's running the court.
Patrick Mahomes, I assume, running the
fucking court. It's a different game, dude.
It's awesome. It's electrifying for you.
Does that make your job easier or harder?
Easier or harder with the quarterback?
Like I told you, Pat, they put something in his
water, man. I don't know what they put in it,
but it does make my job
hell of easy, for sure. Just having an athlete back there who can deliver the ball to the receivers. I don't know what they put in it But it does make my job It makes my job hella easy
For sure
Just having an athlete back there
Who can deliver the ball to the receivers
He can too
That throw he had to Marvin Harrison Jr.
Ridiculous
It was absurd
Disgusting
Yeah it was
It was absolutely filthy
And then he was running too
Never ran in college
Did you guys ever talk about that?
Does he talk about that?
About how
I guess in Ohio
They were like
This guy never runs this guy never runs.
This guy never runs.
Didn't have to.
Been all the way to the fucking semifinals.
And then he started running.
It was a whole different.
I mean, he was wide open out there.
Does he ever talk about that?
Do you guys talk about that with the offense?
He never talked about it, but it is bad.
Like when he needs to run, he runs.
It's in his bag.
I think he prefers to be a pocket passer and throw dimes down the field.
But it's in his bag, so don't sleep on him.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
We saw he was fucking big, too.
Oh, yeah.
Field goal away from beating Georgia.
52 yarder or something like that.
Well, if Marvin Harrison doesn't get hurt, they do beat Georgia.
Well, and then Georgia, if you do recall, goes on to beat TCU by 65 points.
Yeah, so it wasn't that good.
60, 60-some point.
Ty Schmidt, last question for you here, Laramie.
Yeah, Laramie, a big topic of conversation this offseason
has been the whole natural grass versus turf conversation.
And we all know with, like, tackles, you know, you guys, like,
whether it's a knee or something like that,
how difficult it is coming back from, like, a serious knee injury.
How much of a difference can you tell when you play a game on Sunday
on natural grass as
opposed to turf? And is that something that
you would like to see changed and have all fields
have turf grasses? Or natural
grass, excuse me. Listen,
NFL, y'all need to change that
shit right now. We need grass.
We need grass, man. We don't need no more
turf. That turf should be out of
pitching. We need grass, bro.
Just to keep our bodies healthy.
You're sore, right? I mean, it's like you're playing on pavement.
Your body can feel it. 6'5", 325.
Your knees, joints, ankles, everything
can feel it, especially with a longer season.
It's a real... For me, I was
obviously kicking balls. I wanted the hardest surface
possible, especially with hitting onside kicks
against Houston Texans.
Hit onside, hit onside. It went to ball to be as
hard as possible.
The ground to be,
but I don't have to run every other human that I've run into in the NFL has
said like,
yeah,
dude,
like practicing on turf,
playing on turf.
You might as well put us on a gym floor and then just have us run around
while we're doing this.
Grass is so much better.
And it doesn't seem like it's that expensive.
I don't know why it's such a fucking thing right now.
Honestly, I don't understand it.
Yeah, I don't get it, man.
But they need to change that shit ASAP, bro.
What would you do if you're in, like, the Super Bowl,
and there's obviously terrible turf,
and the NFL said,
equipment managers, give them better shoes.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Sorry about it.
I mean, the sod father came out and said,
the sod prince fucked up the watering of this
whole thing and said it was terrible.
But for us, equip banders, give them better cleats.
Maybe that'll work out.
Whenever you're figuring out the surface, you like slick stuff, right?
Offensive linemen like whenever it's wet, mud, slick.
Absolutely.
Slow down in the years.
Miles Garrett fucking flipping.
We'll see.
All right.
Hey, next week you have
your youth football camp happening
in Houston. Laramie's hosting his first
annual youth football camp on July 15th in Houston.
He'll be inviting 150 kids.
Hey, that's a lot of fucking kids, Laramie.
You got lunches for all of them?
I got lunches, I got cakes,
I got t-shirts, I got everything for them,
man. I can't wait for it. I'm excited.
How's it, just, people already know?
Is there anybody to sign up?
Can we help?
What do we do?
Yes, sir.
I can reach out to you after this, Pat, for sure.
Love to be a part of it.
Let's go.
You're doing good things.
Keep leading down there, man, honestly.
And thank you for joining us.
For sure.
No, I appreciate it, Pat.
Hey, tell Saint we said what's up, too.
You know what I mean?
We know they-
I got you.
Hey, they started doing some real fuckery to get him out.
He knows that.
They're making new rules to kind of get him.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, it's crazy.
Absolutely crazy.
What's that all about?
I saw he was over in Italy, I think.
He was over in Italy.
He was doing his thing.
You know who else was in Italy?
Who's that?
Rapport was in Italy, wasn't he?
Oh.
Ah.
Saints always working right now on YouTube.
Laramie Tunzel, 78.
You can watch a series called Protect the Tree.
It is obviously about his life, what he's doing,
and we are a part of the last episode.
Thank you for letting us be a part of this thing.
Laramie, you're the fucking man, pal.
Man, y'all, please.
Y'all fans, everybody, please tune in to my series that I got right here. It's called Protect the Tree, pal. Man, y'all, please. Y'all fans, everybody, please tune in to my series that I got right here.
It's called Protect the Tree, man.
Please tune in.
Y'all won't regret it.
I promise you.
Protect the Tree, man.
Protect the Tree.
We actually just dropped an episode before I got on the show, man,
so you should check it out.
All right, brand new episode.
We'll watch it this afternoon.
We appreciate the hell out of you.
You're the best.
Ladies and gentlemen, Laramie Kunzel.
Yay, Laramie!
That's a big, dude.
That's absurd.
That bitch is so large.
And that athletic, too.
Just walking around.
Put together very well.
Just anybody can get it.
You know what I mean?
I used to, every once in a while, you know,
hang out with the offensive linemen,
go out with their knights whenever they would go out.
Sure.
And then whenever it was a different position group,
the different night I would go out that night with them too. Sure.
I thought it was team building,
but I guess everybody else called me an alcoholic.
No.
Yeah.
It was basically every night.
Yeah.
Like this, this group goes out this night, this group goes out this night.
Hey, you probably run into this group on this night.
Okay.
Well, I'll just, I'll go group or whatever.
The offensive line group though, there's been some places
and obviously there's a lot of beer chuggers in the offensive line groups.
And the offensive line groups
normally like to raise a little hail.
A little bit.
Normally, yeah. Miserable.
Miserable. So whenever they get drunk,
it's hilarious because they start
bitching about a lot of things
in the way they see the world versus how everybody else
sees the world. As a person that plays offensive line, the only time
anybody really knows your name is when you're fucking
losing. So they're going to be a little
jaded towards a lot of things. And when you start
boozing and hammering beers, that's going
to get amplified. Not for everybody, but
some of the greatest nights of my life
have been with offensive linemen. But we've been in some
places, and I've looked around, and I'm like, what is that security
going to do? Nothing.
I don't see any cauliflower here on that motherfucker.
Need that.
I don't see a single, nothing in you tells me that you have the strategy
or technique of hoist Gracie to take down this fucking six-foot-six monster
who's had 20 beers.
If anything was to happen right now, I think this bar loses to the people we're with.
And I guess to who much is given, much is required.
I've never seen them fucking just flip a place upside down.
Good.
That's nice of them.
That's right.
Always incredibly good people.
Always, you know, I'll get out of here.
Now, every once in a while, you'll see a video of an offensive line.
Yeah.
Getting that, you know, they're gentle giants.
And maybe a little whiskey slipped in there.
Maybe some other stuff.
And people try the
biggest guy too though oh yeah which is you know like we have all of us i assume have friends in
our friend group that when they get very drunk they are the worst humans imaginable oh yeah and
like the worst humans imaginable make decisions that are poor terrible sometimes it's like oh
that's the biggest oh you're the toughest guy in here and they go try therible. Sometimes it's like, oh, that's the biggest, oh, you're the toughest guy in here. And they go try the biggest guy.
Yep.
And it's like the biggest guy
is now put in a spot.
Okay?
I would like to have a good time
with my friends.
I just so happen to be large
and strong and athletic
and everything like that.
But also,
you're saying some very
disrespectful stuff right now.
Mm-hmm.
So it's all,
those,
the huge humans in our world
live a different life
than we all do.
Laramie's one of them.
I'm just happy
his lungs
are also better than everybody else's and that can never be forgotten no when we're talking about
the legend that is laramie tunzel speaking of legends ladies and gentlemen a 39 year old
ran a 40 yard dash on laser time man okay laser time is a big deal let me explain to you why laser
time is a big deal so back in the day you why laser time is a big deal. So back in the day, the combine, all the combines, used to be done on handheld watches, okay?
The handheld watches, though, obviously are going to be a little bit different than what somebody else will have
because each human is going to react to something a little bit differently.
And when you're talking about 40-yard dashes,.01 of a second is a huge deal.
You run a 4.39 or a 4.40, 4.39 probably go in top 10. 4.40,. You run a 4-3-9 or a 4-4-0,
4-3-9 probably go in top 10.
4-4-0, you just ran a 4-4.
That could all become from somebody's thumb being a little bit slower than somebody else's.
So they created this fucking laser thing
that literally documents when you move
to when you cross a line.
It has obviously made NFL scouting a lot more consistent,
convenient, and easy,
but it is also impossible to
game it because you don't even have
a friendly timer or anything like that.
So when we asked a 39
year old man who once ran a
4-2-8 on laser
40 if he thought he could still
run a sub 4-5, and he
confidently started rubbing his knees going
I could jog a four five
bro sir there were some haters there were some reactions that were a bit negative oh yeah but i
believed in them because this is one of the fastest humans i've ever seen in my entire life
ladies and gentlemen pac-man jones yesterday attempted a laser timed 40 on concrete that's
a lot of people saying concrete well you put them you put them on turf. It's like, no, concrete is
fast track. Great track. Concrete's a fast
track. Did run into a slight
breeze, though. Yes, it did. So, have to
remember that. Now, it was the
flattest part of our parking lot
that we could find that had 40 yards,
and the plan was him not to run into
the breeze. The plan was actually to give him a little bit
of a wind aid. Oh, yeah. Indiana,
though. That thing flipped.
Fast. Everything was lined up
against this man. Could he run faster
than a 4-5-0-5?
4-5-0-0
win.
4-5-1-0
lose.
Pac-Man Jones
attempted the 40 at
39 years of age
and this is how it went down
what do you think you can run right now?
you think you're still sub 4 or 5?
you think you're sub 4 or 5?
I can jog a 4 or 5
bro you are not going 4 or 4
I can jog a 4 or 5
ok 4 or 5
39 years old
eats nerd ropes every single day.
And twin snakes.
And hearties with jelly and bacon.
And has his own marijuana stream.
Start calculating all that.
And then you can down him if you want.
I'm betting under.
Let's go.
I think Pac could run a four or five one right on the dot.
Hey, 56.5% of 1,673 people say, you ain't got it, Pac.
Yeah, he's been telling me that shit my whole life.
This is a big deal, dude.
This guy ran a 4-2-8 to come by.
He started 9-0.
He runs in a 4-4.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Cut. Oh my God. Oh, 4515.
Oh, my heartbreaker.
Oh, 4515. Oh, my heartbreaker. That's what I'm supposed to run.
Y'all owe me money.
You owe me money, motherfucker.
He owe me.
He owe me.
05.
That was a great run.
Yeah.
I think he...
I only had one in.
Yeah, bro.
Post it.
Post it.
Fucking 40 years old.
Hey, there you go, Pac-Man.
Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, from a golf course, friend of the program, Adam Pac-Man Jones.
Yeah!
Hey, you should be pumped about that.
Laser time, 4-5-1-5.
That's fucking unbelievable.
The pooled hammy.
Very pumped about it.
And the bad part about it, I ain't going to lie to you guys.
I was a little nervous. I was a little nervous
I was a little nervous because I want a hundred
Okay, we knew that I freaked my hamstring last week. Everybody know it take a little longer than a week
I think to come back. No, he's gonna rub that
It worked they um shout out to my father-in-law, Ulysses.
Whatever the fuck he's making is really good.
I would imagine.
Maybe you should probably put it on the shelves.
I don't know if it's legal or illegal, but it works.
Shout out.
Shout out, Ulysses out of Memphis, Tennessee.
One of the greatest voices of all time.
Yep.
We got a chance to meet him.
Cleanest motherfucker I've seen.
Dog.
In some time.
He's also, I guess, a mad scientist whenever it comes to recovery sauce.
Pac, 4515, a mad scientist whenever it comes to recovery sauce.
Pac, 4-5-1-5, obviously a heartbreaker, you know,
because the 4-5-0-5 was the actual over-under.
So actually.01 away from shutting up Connor, I think,
which is probably what Connor's about to say.
Yeah, Pac, I mean, look, I don't want to say I told you so, but I did. And it is a bummer that you tweaked your hamstring but let me just be honest just let me land the plane here
you can't run 20 yards not about look back dude don't point your swords at me i was can you run
20 yards in four or five one absolutely not i was just about to say how cool it was to watch
someone that fast run
when you're that close to them.
Although you did not get the 4.50,
it was a spectacle to watch you run just in a straight line.
Hey, your form, bro.
I heard Barwiss going, knee drive, arm swing.
I took a screenshot of the video, and I posted it last night.
At 40 yards into this thing, he's fucking perfect.
I mean, you're perfect in that stride.
Bam!
Help me!
Hey, that's perfect form.
Like, the lean, everything.
That is, you're a track guy growing up, I assume, or no?
Of course I was a track guy.
But, you know, Amar Carroll, which is, they call him Batman.
He was drafted.
Who the fuck was he drafted by?
Green Bay, I think.
Yeah, Packers.
8-0 overall pick.
He probably should have stuck with track, but he shattered my dreams as running track.
He was running 10-2s, 10-1s.
So I always came in either second or third.
So I was like, all right, I'm done with track my senior year because this fucking guy
with a size 13 feet, 6'1",
is moving a little fast than me,
and I'm going to go ahead and stay with football
and basketball.
Well, it worked out.
Basketball, I think we've seen you make
a couple moonshots, so obviously that's good.
Football obviously ended up fantastic.
You're one of the fastest humans in the history
of the NFL, and at the age of 39,
you're at 4'5", 1'5", laser. So that's easy 4'4", 9' hand. Easy. You're one of the fastest humans in the history of the NFL. And at the age of 39, you're at 4'5", 1'5", laser. So that's
easy 4'4", 9' hand.
Easy. You smell me? That's easy 4'4",
9' hand. Yeah. So with that,
hey, what's up, dude? How's it going, pal?
What's up, dude?
That's got salmon pants on.
All right. I'm getting him today, though.
Oh!
You're getting got!
You're getting got by everybody right now, what's that all about we are playing at
his course we ain't fucking kenwood right um greens are blazing fast right now i'm talking
probably a 13 yeah 13 easy he's got 46 on the front i shot 48 on the front we're on the back
right now he's three over and I am four over.
So the game's got a lot more. We've been front,
back, and overall. So
I got a couple more holes where I can get his ass in the sack.
Time to press, bud. You're down four right now.
Yeah, get going. Time to press right now, huh?
We got to press, you think?
I'm going to wait because you can press two.
I think I can birdie these next two holes.
I just won the last one, so I'm down three.
Sorry. I'm down three on this. You got a 48 on the front nine. You're going can birdie these next two holes. I just won the last one, so I'm down three. Sorry. Although I'm right by the green.
I'm down three on this.
Here we go.
So, yeah.
Hey, got a 48 on the front nine.
You're going to birdie these next two.
Yep.
Let's fucking go, Pac.
Come on, Pac.
I love that monster.
Let's go.
We appreciate the hell out of you.
Congrats on a good run.
I appreciate it, brother.
Hey, Tone.
Oh, did he say Tone or Con?
Tone.
I said Tone.
What up, Pac?
That shit was a lot different in person.
They was all down.
You know, first fucking five steps.
Oh, my God.
I never doubted fucking one second.
I ain't heard what Mel Kiper had to say today, though.
Is Mel in there?
What the fuck is Mel at?
Pac-Man Jones has absolutely unbelievable speed.
I'll echo, you know, Conor's sentiment.
I almost pooped my pants seeing him move that fast. Did poop my
pants before he actually got out there and ran
almost missed it. Last person out, Coach.
Mel Kiper was last person out. I was the last person
out, but he ran so goddamn fast
I actually almost missed it, but that was
fucking unbelievable, Pac. I don't know
how many 39-year-olds
are as fast as you. You should be proud
of yourself, pal.
I love you, Mel.
Alright, Pac. Enjoy your be proud of yourself, pal. Atta baby. Great. Oh, I love you, Mel. All right, Pac.
Enjoy your day.
Go get that guy.
Yeah, he's wearing salmon pants.
Don't be losing to that fucking guy.
Yeah, the fuck is wrong with him?
Yeah, don't do it.
I'm on his ass right now.
All right, let's go.
Birdie, birdie.
Throw him off.
Birdie, birdie on those PXGs, ladies and gentlemen, Pac-Man.
Let's go.
Hey!
All right, let's get to a break.
We'll be back on the other side with AJ Hawk.
It was very
impressive it was absurd because you know my thing about tom cruise when i'm watching him run exactly
he's out of a like a book of how you're supposed to run teaching now he doesn't have the lean though
no you see that lean the pack has uh-huh that is where the speed that's the speed that's coming
right tom cruise is vertical while doing it he's somehow moving forward yes
so we don't fully understand how he's moving that quick exactly he should be climbing a ladder
pretty much yeah he runs his form is so good you would think his knees at that age would like or
ankles yes you would have a gate a gate is obviously your walking stride or whatever
you're running stride normally if you've been through some shit at all, there's some sort of deficiency to your gate.
Dragon.
Tom Cruise being 50-some years old or 60-some years old and him just being able to fucking go,
it's like, damn, that guy really takes care of himself.
Oh, yeah.
Watching Pac-Man run as if he was a 24-year-old, it's like, god damn.
He is.
Calves are fucking this big.
Properly jock.
Yeah, he is.
Yo.
Well, and like Connor was saying, too, you watch a guy run a 40 on TV, on the combine.
It's like, holy shit, that guy's fast.
But it doesn't matter how fast, unless you played with someone who played in the NFL.
The fast guy on your high school football team who you saw run a 40 and he ran like a four, six, eight.
And it's like, holy shit, that guy's fast.
Like watching pack run in person.
It's like thinking him running a four, two, eight in person and how fast he was moving
out there.
It's fucking insane.
So I showed up into the football world with the West Virginia summer workouts.
Okay.
I was coming out of the soccer road.
I was a fast player in soccer, and my cardio was good.
So I was running with the speed group, and that was a poor decision.
You know, I had to set that standard for the rest of my fucking career,
running with the speed group.
I was asked, who do you want to run with?
Do you want to run with the bigs, the mids, or the speed?
And I was like, I'm going to show these fuckers.
Put me on speed.
I can run.
Watch this.
I'm a goddamn runner. I didn't know how much we were going to be running. I quit soccer, so I going to show these fuckers. Put me on speed. I can run. Watch this. I'm a goddamn runner.
I didn't know how much we were going to be running.
I quit soccer, so I didn't have to run anymore.
And then I signed up to fucking Mike Barwiss' summer workouts.
It was more running than I'd ever done in my entire life.
I'm like, I was confused on what was going to happen here.
But you're watching these fuckers take up soccer games most I've ever played in.
Most games I played in.
I could pull by people or catch people if I wanted to.
That first we did one tens at about the first,
like maybe 35 yards, 40 yards.
It felt like I was with the crowd.
You know what I mean?
Like, you know,
ducks fly together and you're having a flying V felt like I was in the
crowd.
And then all of a sudden, I just started seeing people.
And it's just like, where are these guys coming from?
These guys running with me.
And then all of a sudden, I finished through.
And it's like, these guys are just already back in there.
And then as we got more into it, they were getting faster somehow.
And then after these workouts, one new motherfucker might...
You've heard the Randy Moss story about where he went down on a recruiting visit,
allegedly to Florida State in jeans.
And it was during a workout.
And he started popping off with somebody.
And he said, who's the fastest motherfucker on this field?
And they raced.
He was in jeans.
He beat the fucking guy.
Then allegedly some other stuff happened.
Didn't have a Florida State scholarship anymore.
Ended up at Marshall.
That's just the alleged story.
I would be able to believe that because I was very fortunate to be at some of those workouts.
All you need is one person to say they're faster than somebody else.
And I was obviously Pac-Man was in the NFL already whenever I got there.
But he was working out with us in the summer.
So he was a part of the entire culture.
Some of those races that you see.
That's why like when the Pro Bowl had those races.
It was so cool.
And then they tried to bring it back and nobody really tried.
You know what I mean?
Micah went hard and that's unbelievable. Ty And then they try to bring it back, and nobody really tried. You know what I mean? Micah went hard, and that's unbelievable.
Tyreek didn't try.
When no cameras are around, and it's just people talking massive amounts of shit.
Yes.
Some guys are taking their shoes off because they're done with workout,
just kind of hanging out.
And then you've got guys lined up running, like whether it's 40, 60, 80,
whatever it is.
The humans are not supposed
to be moving as fast as these fuckers move.
And it is phenomenal to watch.
That's why the combine is something.
And you don't even get to really feel it.
Like you guys feel it or see it.
They need to put the regular human running
in every single one of those videos.
They do the Rich Eisen one at the end.
But that's not, yeah, you can't do that. He's running in a suit
and dress shoes.
Just give us a normal fucking human jogging this
40 and put him on. Do the Drake
hologram every
time of somebody running there just so you can
fully understand how fast
these 185 pound,
255,
285 pound, very
jacked dudes are running. It's
amazing what the human body is able to do.
Yeah, it made me want to go to the combine because of that.
Because when you are watching, like Ty said,
it's not what it really is when you're in person.
Yeah, and he didn't even, he did a couple things.
But when you, some of those guys like jump before they run.
Yeah.
He used to watch these guys like levitate.
He didn't even like, he didn't even get down in a sprinter stance. He was just like, all right, let me feel it. He did three watch these guys levitate. He didn't even get down in a sprinter stance.
He was just like, all right, let me feel it.
He did three of these.
He was like revving himself up.
Had Ferrari shoes on him.
Yeah, he did.
That's how they activate, actually.
Ladies and gentlemen, the all-time leading tackler for the Green Bay Packers.
He was referenced earlier to Laramie Tunzel.
A college football national champion, a Super Bowl champion.
The best COVID survivor of all time yep got coveted got stronger yeah ladies and gentlemen father of 10 the president of ohio aj hawk
aj how you doing pal well first off i believe i was referenced with Laramie Tunsil. You said, I drink my own piss, correct?
That's what you tried to tell him?
Accurate.
That is exactly how.
When did that ever become a thing?
Tell us.
You know.
We talked about life straws and can you drink directly from your shaft through the life straw if you drink your piss directly?
And we found out you can't do that.
Yeah, we did find out that the life straw.
Not by trying it out, though. Not by doing it well i didn't know because you just you always raise the question
so i think i was just kind of connecting dots yeah like this guy's in great fit you said it
like it was a fact you told him like it is that's my truth he also has eight jugs of piss on the
table right now that's my truth aj okay with the way you have gone about your life and how physically
fit you are and how opening is to try different things always is and the way you have gone about your life and how physically fit you are and how open he is to try different things.
Always is.
And the way you just bring that up so casually all the time.
You drink your own pee and all that.
It's like, this guy clearly does that.
So I guess I'm wrong is what you're saying?
You do not drink your own pee?
I have never done it.
I have never drank my own urine.
If there was a benefit to try it,
maybe if I was 15 years old and you said,
hey, I'll give you $100, I probably would have done it.
But luckily I never did. Put it on the SeatGeek ticker. years old and you said, hey, I'll give you $100, I probably would have done it, but luckily I never did.
Put it on the SeatGeek ticker.
Please do.
Correction.
Let it be known.
Correction.
No piss has been drank from him.
The all-time leading tackler from the Green Bay Packers
actually disputes report.
There we go.
Have you thought about it?
Definitely.
Look at this guy.
No, I've heard different MMA fighters talk about doing it,
and I always thought, like, what is the benefit and why?
Well, Patches says it's sterile.
Yeah.
It tastes good.
Yeah, so that's what Patches was about.
I mean, the real ones eat their own turds.
I've heard about those guys.
Really?
Sometimes, yeah.
You consider yourself a real one?
No, I'm not a real one. I'm telling you right now, I am not. Okay consider yourself a real one? No, I'm not a real one.
I'm telling you right now, I am not.
Put it on a ticker.
Okay, not a real one.
All-time leading tackler.
Disputes report of drinking piss.
Also says not real one.
Yeah.
All right.
We didn't want to happen.
That's surprising.
That's the way quotes get going these days.
That's how narratives get built.
I don't like that I'm a part of it.
Well, and the amount of narratives, too.
I mean, there's so many of them. Well, here's another narrative that we just
thought of. It feels like this has been the
longest time during an off-season run
that you have been on the show. For sure.
So, with that being said, whenever we thought about
a feel-good Friday in the middle of the off-season, the middle
of summer, with A.J. Hawk,
because A.J. Hawk just keeps going.
Yeah, his appearances just keep going on
and on and on and on.
We said that in and of itself is enough for a feel-good Friday.
It really is.
This morning we were kind of down in the dumps.
We didn't know how the day was going to go.
We didn't know what color we were seeing.
We had no idea what was going on.
And then we remembered that these appearances by A.J.
Just going on and on and on and on.
In the middle of the summer.
He's on a Friday.
And I think even if we were to have a show next Friday, he would be.
On and on and on and on again.
And so we're pumped.
Thank you, AJ.
You're a hero, AJ.
Thank you, AJ.
Thank you, AJ.
AJ Hawk.
AJ Hawk.
AJ Hawk.
AJ Hawk.
Anything to say, AJ, about your appearances?
Who runs the ticker? Who does the ticker, honestly?
Who puts that info in there?
That's Franklin.
Okay. Nick.
I thought it was Seeky.
Hey, congrats to Pac.
Honestly, Pac, I think I said you run a 4-1 even, right?
You said 4-5-1 flat.
4-5-1, I mean, yeah.
And he ran a 4-5-1- mean, yeah. And he ran at 4515.
Yeah.
Which is basically the same thing.
And outdoors, into the wind, like that was very, very impressive.
Into the wind as a 39-year-old.
And there was people, I saw a lot of comments talking about,
first of all, people were talking about how we need our pavements sealed.
I agree.
Yeah, that'd be cool.
It's a lot of ground coverage.
There's a lot of grass out here, too.
We probably need fucking flattened and everything like that.
A lot of space that came with this particular Thunderdome.
And if anybody would like to come do the concrete, for sure.
We'd love to listen to the conversation.
But we will focus on in here and also being good neighbors.
We'll cut the grass, keep everything up.
We won't do that.
But the concrete has not been thought of,
but there was a lot of people that pointed out it was bad concrete,
which I agree.
It did not look great.
But also concrete's a fast track, AJ.
There's people that are like, put him on turf.
It's like, I guess turf would help because there's a little rubber bounce in there.
But concrete is a good track.
The issue with the wind, that thing flipped on him.
That was tough.
He's 4-4- 9 hand time, and if he
has wind at his back, 4'4", something,
which he's got to feel very good about.
Yeah, I'd say.
He didn't really pop. He said he wasn't going to run anymore,
but he didn't pop as him. He's still fine.
I saw he's playing golf today. He came up pretty gingerly.
He's trained, I think. He's playing golf today,
but I think he's hobbling around.
Well, maybe not. He's got this stuff.
Yeah, he might have the...
What is that?
Is it a bomb? What is it?
We don't know. What if he's putting...
What if he is over a frying pan?
He's got a little Icy Hot in there.
Let me put a little bit of this, a vitamin C
in here. Biofreeze. Okay, we put
some milk in there, good calcium.
And then he's just in there whipping it together.
He's...
Rub this kid in. What's it called, Uly. Yeah, that's right. And then he's just in there whipping it together. He's pat, pat, rub this kitty.
Well, what's it called, Ulysses?
It's legal.
I made it.
He's the best.
He is the man.
He should have a show.
100%.
And he should be selling this shit.
He should be straight on QVC, straight to HSN.
Yeah.
He should be on there selling this stuff.
That's still a thing?
Pat.
Oh, yeah.
I think the old still, you know what I mean?
In an infomercial situation late at night night can you still call and order like you
know 12 wristbands oh whatever they sell wristbands i don't think i understand little
pots that make eggs that don't burn stuff like that oh hey look at all the cheese we put in here
slides right off so as seen on tv was one of my favorite parts of stores that you'd walk into
walgreens walgreens has one right now yes There used to be a bunch of them, though. Remember
like, what was that goth store?
Hot Top. Spencer's?
Hot Top, Spencer's. They used to have as seen on
TV stuff in the mall. Used to walk through there
and get it and just stare at
them, window shop, and think about how absurd they are.
But people have made so much money. That
woman from HSN on Shark Tank.
Barb? No, not Barb.
Lori? Lori.
She is. She's like a billionaire
because of Home Shopping Network.
I think it's still going, AJ. I think it's still
going very strong.
Hey, I have been a sucker to many
products over the years. Yeah, you tell
me, pal.
Those pans are not as non-stick
as they claim. Yeah, I have to wash it
every time. Yeah, I have to wash it every time.
Yeah, I can't do the fucking ha-ha every single time.
You lied to me.
And in doing so, you probably burned down a town in West Virginia.
Yeah.
I watched that documentary, too, when he created that nonstick stuff,
and then he just dumped it into the creek,
and then the creek just rolled into the whole town.
Is that the Aaron Brockovich situation?
I do believe that's what that movie is from.
Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen,
is a man who might have the answer.
Oh, good.
He's a guy that has been at every single level
of the NFL except for player.
Okay, never been a player,
but I bet this Italian son of a bitch could have if he had.
Oh, yeah.
This guy would gnaw your Achilles for the good of the team.
He's a speaker.
He's an author.
He's an email newsletter motivator writer.
He's the host of the Lombardi line and the GM shuffle. The guy never stops because his brain never does either.
Ladies and gentlemen, pies on Michael Lombardi. Lombo, Zito told me that the Aaron Brockovich
thing was accurate. You were giving us an answer to that. Do you know anything about the nonstick
frying pans? I thought it was another movie where they thought it wasn't Aaron Brockovich. It was another movie where they finally sued the town.
I forget who started it, but there was the creek that was poisoning the kids.
It was in West Virginia, but that wasn't Aaron Brockovich.
She was from California, I believe.
This one was in West Virginia, and they sued the chemical maker of the town.
It was like the biggest chemical in the town.
I want to say it was DuPont dupont actually to be honest with you
it might have been um the vapoo riser remember that from the movie envy yeah jack black that
could have been that one just made poop disappear yeah nobody really knew where i was going but it
does feel like we are creating substances now and things that will utilize them and just go how does
that work you know what i mean how does that how does that work? You know what I mean?
How does that work?
Is there any backlash from this or any rippling effects?
And then you just got to kind of compress those feelings
and just move forward.
That's what everybody kind of does.
But there's certainly some rippling effects.
Speaking of, we're in the middle of NFL summer.
This time kind of sucks if you're an NFL show.
Lombo, you've been on the air all week.
You've been doing stuff.
What in the NFL world have you been talking about from your perspective what is interesting right
now from the NFL world in your eyes well I think a lot of these player props you know like who's
going to have a good year you know coming back what team can we know this we talked at length
about this on my show what we know that the NFL typically turns over the playoff teams almost 50%. I think on average
over the last 30 years, four playoff teams don't return. And now we're up to 14. So which ones are
those are the conversation and who's undervalued in the over-under market? You know, I think that's
really something to look at as we see these teams on paper. And then opening day games. I mean,
you know, one of the big things we talk about on the lombardi line is that the contest out in vegas which are popular
you know the survivor contest all you have to do is pick one winner a week sounds easy it's not
it's really hard you know and then you have to then the millionaire contest which you have to
pick five winners every week and easy guy that ends ends up 73% to 72% accurate over the 18-week season
wins a million dollars.
So a lot of that.
Opening weekend is going to be fun to see because I think it's a little bit
not indicative of what the teams really are.
Remember last year Cincinnati host Pittsburgh,
and Pittsburgh, what, gained 170 yards.
Cincinnati turned the ball over five times.
And here's a team that ended up playing in the conference championship game at the end of
the year okay so a couple quick things before AJ has his question for you whenever you talk about
teams turning over and playoff and everything and over under values the Rams are at six and a half
we learned that this week from a caller a caller called in and was like and then we pulled up a
dirty graphic who's a Rams fan and it was basically it was at seven and a half then it moves to six and a half or whatever
they got matt stafford they got aaron donald they got cooper cutback they still have mcveigh who's
an incredible play caller we all believe i don't know how you feel about it six and a half feels
incredibly low in a 17 game season for the rams doesn't it is that doesn't it feel like one that
we should like well let me give you some facts here.
I mean, so they have 40 guys on their team that currently have one year or less.
Now, what does that mean?
That means they've never played an NFL game.
And so there's 40 of their roster belong there.
How much is the total roster right now, 100 and what?
There's only, I think, 85 or 90 somewhere in there.
So almost half of the roster are young players.
And you cited Cooper Cupp coming off an ACL.
You know, two years ago, he was sensational.
Averaged 13 yards a catch.
Last year, he was down to 10.6.
When Stafford played against really good defenses, San Francisco twice,
when he played against them and when he played other good defenses of the year,
he averaged six yards per attempt.
It was challenging. They couldn't really move the football.
And so to me, I think that number is coming down because there's no depth on the team,
because the three pillars of their team, Stafford, Cup and the great Aaron Donald,
maybe two of them aren't quite where they were two years ago.
And I think that's why. Donald's
going to be a great player. My question, which I've asked many times on my show, is say the Rams
start off slow. And say they're 1-5, they're 2-6, somewhere in there. And they're headed for Caleb
Williams in the draft. Do they trade at that point Aaron Donald to a team at the trade deadline? Do
we get an NBA trade for Aaron Donald?
Because he's truly their only asset, right? They tried to trade Stafford this offseason. The $59
million option bonus, they could say they didn't. They can deny it all they want. If they didn't
try to trade Stafford, they were negligent in their behavior because nobody should have paid
$59 million to a player who's really not sure he's
going to keep playing. So that's on one side. And then Cupps coming off the ACL. So their only true
asset really that's marketable is Aaron Donald. And I wonder if they get off to a slow start,
do they trade Donald? Okay. So I think you just broke some news there probably. Do you think that
the Rams tried to trade Stafford? And do you know that? or you're just saying any GM worth his salt would be
attempting to get out from that contract any no during this offseason before the I think it was
the fourth or fifth day of the trading of the season to begin when his option bonus was getting
ready to kick in they attempted with with a lot of effort to trade him any team could add him the
problem was you had absorbed the 59 million got. Got it, got it, got it.
Right. And the Rams knew there was no way around the $59 million. They couldn't get around it
unless they traded them and somebody else took it. Look, they traded Allen Robinson at Pittsburgh
for a flop of sevens and they paid $10 million to get it off their books. So they know they're
in cap trouble. They know it's tough. Now, McVay's a great coach. Let's make no mistake about it. He's
a great play caller.
But defensively, if you can name who their starting corners are,
if you could tell me who else is going to rush the passer besides Aaron Donald,
it's going to be a challenge.
And they're a young, young team.
Dirty.
You guys stink, bro.
Good run.
Yeah, it's tough right now.
You guys won that Super Bowl, though.
That's right. Hell of a win.
Hell yeah.
At home.
Right? I mean, that's the price of it. They a super bowl so you say okay they did well there's no they just
it's you can't you can't lose sight that they won and they have rings to prove it but going forward
them and tampa are going to struggle and i think that's why we see tampa's win total so low now
tampa's got some good players they just don don't wear that quarterback. That's the main thing.
Right? And so, they
still have Evans, who's on the last year. He's
underpaid at the receiver position tremendously.
Do they trade him? Because
they haven't done anything. They had four players on
the roster that they can maneuver with the cap. They haven't
done anything with those guys yet.
Wow. Lombo cooking for
some teams. Go ahead, AJ.
Lombo, I know there was a lot of talk this offseason
that McVay may step away from coaching.
We've heard it multiple times that the networks are coming after him.
Let's say five, ten years from now,
do you think he's more likely to be coaching or in the booth somewhere?
I would suspect the booth.
I mean, I thought he would go to the booth this year.
To me, what I said on my pod, and I said,
if I were the GM of the Rams, I want Sean McVay as my coach, but I don't want him for just one year.
I want him for – this is going to take us three years to fix this, right?
We're going to have to get a new quarterback.
Now, look, they love Les Snead, the general manager of the team.
He loves Stetson Bennett coming out in the draft.
Hell, yeah.
He loved his tape.
He pushed hard for them to pick him, and they did.
Do I think Stetson Bennett ends up playing this year for the Rams?
I do.
I really do because I'm not sure Matthew Stafford, at his age,
taking all the hits that he's taken, his body has gotten so many hits
that can he last 17 games?
I would be shocked.
Can an arm last 17 games?
I would be shocked.
So Bennett's going to – we're going to find out.
And I think, to me, McVay had to tell Stan Kroenke,
look, I'm into this for at least three
years because if you're only going to come back for one year and then you leave boy we're now
we're one year further away from where we need to go yeah everything seems to be a transition for
them into the next stage but they still have the ogs around yeah let's run it back but also let's
transition it's kind of happening in green bay as well it feels like tone has a question for you question for you, Lombo. Yeah, Mike, you talked about the overrunners and that we brought up the Rams there
and teams that made the playoffs that didn't make the playoffs. Is there any teams that stand out
when you've been looking at those markets? Well, I mean, you know, Minnesota won 13 games last year,
and I said this all the time. You know, if Kevin Stefans, if I owned a casino, I wouldn't let Kevin
Stefans, I wouldn't let Kevin O'Connell in my building.
There's just no way.
He's the lucky, lucky.
Kevin O'Connell?
Who?
Kevin O'Connell, the head coach of the Vikings.
They were so fortunate last year, Pat.
If I owned a casino, I don't know if I'd let O'Connell into it.
He's so good.
He'd probably hit it 19 and get an ace.
That's how lucky he is.
But I don't know if, you know, they're over under, I think, a set at 8.5.
I mean, that's going to tempt people to play that.
Cousins is in his last year of his contract, right,
and they're not talking about franchising him.
So he's playing for something significant here.
He still shows good play.
Now, he'll carry a debt for their team if they go somewhere else.
They're going to have to find a hair apparent to him,
especially an economically friendly one.
He's been the reason they've been in such financial downfall for so long
because he's eaten much of the cap.
Hell, yeah, to the hairs all over the place.
Whatever you think about this quarterback documentary coming out on Netflix, Kirk Cousins is one of the quarter. Hell yeah, to the hairs all over the place. Whatever you think about this quarterback
documentary coming out on Netflix, Kirk Cousins
is one of the quarterbacks being followed. Marcus
Mariota, Kirk Cousins,
and Patrick Mahomes.
It seems like you're doing
that drive to survive concept
with the NFL and three quarterbacks.
It's coming out next week, I think.
It is going to be so fucking
good. We got a chance to see
no big deal.
Sell out. Fucking sell out.
Since I sold out, though. I got a chance to see
a four and a half minute thing
that they got going on. I think we have Peyton on
on Monday to talk about it because it
is an Omaha production. I think
people are going to have a lot more respect for Kirk Cousins after
watching this documentary
and seeing what he goes through behind it and everything like that.
What is his legacy going to be, you think?
You think he can win a Super Bowl?
You think Kirk Cousins can win a goddamn Super Bowl?
It feels like he is a hot-button conversation everywhere, even amongst, I'd assume, Vikings fans.
The GM of the Vikings said, amongst other things,
we don't have Patrick Holmes, Aaron Rodgers guy.
We have Kirk Cousins.
But Kirk, 13 wins.
You see he's won a playoff game down in New Orleans.
He's had success.
He's thrown for big time.
He's got the chain.
You think Kirk Cousins would win a Super Bowl?
And if that was to happen, would you be surprised, I guess?
You know, I think this.
I truly believe that almost quarterbacks, I would say 95% of the quarterbacks in the league need to be managed
correctly. I think there's very few Patrick Mahomes, very few Peyton Manning. So I think
it's a lot of it is how do you manage the quarterback? How do you set them up for the
most success? And that's something Parcells would talk endlessly about. You know, the quarterback
is somebody we have to fix and build around,
not somebody who's going to carry us.
And Kirk has done a great job.
There's no question about that.
He's put up a lot of yards.
You know, he's got a little bit of the Jim Everett phobia to him.
You know, he's put up a lot of yards, but hasn't won.
Warren Moon's in the Hall of Fame.
Put up a lot of yards.
But I do.
Got the one conference final game in his career.
So, you know, for me, I think Kirk can still play really well.
I think you've got to have the right supporting cast around him.
I think the one thing that has hurt Kirk in his stint in Minnesota is they have not been
a great offensive line.
And if Cousins gets protection and you keep that pocket clean, he can do some damage.
There's no question about that.
They got rid of Victor the Viking too, right?
Yeah, they booted him.
Jeez Louise.
Go ahead, AJ.
Lambeau, I know you love
speaking about the Chicago Bears and Zito
there in the studio loves his Bears.
What's your, I guess, prediction for
them and how do you think this season goes? I get tweets
about how bad Lambeau is.
I think we
have a hard time in this
world going from understanding
what good is to what really great is.
You know, immediately everybody's great.
You know, Dane Lillard's the greatest Portland Trailblazer
who ever played the game, and yet people forget Bill Walton,
people forget Clyde Drexler, you know.
And so we tend to jump right away into great.
I think if Matt Eberflus is honest and he can win seven games this year
from three,
he's really showing tremendous progress.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
You know, I think that's really – my concern about the Bears are when you
raise these expectations that they're going to go from three wins to ten wins,
I mean, they're not quite equipped for that yet.
You know, and I know their GM has been sleeping in the office and doing all
that, but this isn't like a one thing you can do right like you're gonna have to build this thing
over time like it takes time you know so it's not gonna happen instantaneously you got to get good
but look at the denver nuggets you know they talked about it that you got to get good and when
you get good you got to understand what it takes to win great. And then when you get great, you've got to handle expectations. There's steps you have to go
through as a team. And I think they're on that step. They've got to take that first step. I don't
know. Can they? We'll see. You've got to take those steps. And then he says, I think they're on that.
They're on step zero. Well, I mean, you win three games. Your average point differential is 8.5 points per game in that game.
Your quarterback doesn't throw the football.
They threw 22 passes per game, yet they were behind by 8.5 points almost every game.
Everybody's saying all of a sudden he's going to come out there and light it up
and all of a sudden become Danny Marino and start flicking it around the field.
Come on. Calm down.
Let's put this thing in pace.
Let's get some confidence going.
We're a little league team.
Let's get some hits.
Let's get bats on balls.
People get so offended when you say it.
It's like, look, I'm just trying to lower the expectations.
We've got to get somewhere.
We've been sacked 91 times.
How about if we just get sacked 20 times this year maybe that's a step right huh it'd be big how about
71 less sacks yeah yeah only losing by five points instead of yeah there you go yeah i mean those
would be steps but you know everybody in chicago thinks that you hate them that you have a vendetta
you know but let me just say this let me just say this and i'm gonna everybody in chicago hated me
on mitchell trubisky, too.
They told me not even to come to town.
They said if I ever landed at O'Hare Airport,
that Tommy Lee Jones was probably going to be at the airport like the fugitive,
the rescue, you know?
Nice.
So, like, no, no.
And how'd that work out for you?
Oh!
Oh!
Go ahead, Todd.
Well, it's also tough to lower expectations when you got, you know,
Dan Olszewski saying that Justin Fields is going to win MVP this year.
That's why you have a mute button.
That's why you have a mute button.
That's why God gave us a mute button.
Dan Olszewski, when he started talking about the – When he starts talking about Fields being in the MVP cup,
when he starts giving you the top five quarterbacks of all time, mute.
When he starts giving you the Fields, mute.
That's why you got that button. You mute it you mute it man look he's entitled to his opinion i just don't
have to listen to it what was the problem with the top five huh no who i mean he didn't have
joe montana look i've been around brady in montana i've been blessed in my life okay
you know you don't have joe montana in your top five quarterback you don't have Joe Montana in your top five quarterback. You don't. I mean, look, the guy had hyperthermia in the Cotton Bowl, right?
And he led the – they came out at halftime drinking chicken soup
and led the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to the Cotton Bowl.
And Dan Devine became the head coach of A.J.'s Green Bay Packers.
So, like, you know, I mean, it's ridiculous.
Here's Dan Oshavsky's top five.
Tom Brady, obviously. Patrick
Mahomes on his way. John Elway,
this one's for
John. Peyton Manning, Dan
Marino. Love what he's doing down there
with Dan Marino, the Pittsburgh great.
I love Marino. I love Marino.
I love Marino. Nobody loves Marino more, but how about
Otto Graham? Does he even know
how many championships Otto Graham won in his career?
He doesn't know.
He probably got one just like old – what's-his-face, one hit.
Yeah.
I mean, how about a guy by the name of Johnny Unitas?
How about Johnny Unitas?
Okay.
What about him?
Maybe we could put him in that group.
He wasn't on Jim Ursa's, to be fair.
Unitas wasn't even on Jim Ursa's top list fair unitas wasn't even on jim ursays top
list hayton wasn't no i mean i i can't see look at the numbers i mean it's amazing i you know what
i try to do in my new book is i try to compare players from the like like let's take dick
buckus for example all right oh yeah bear down buckus can't really he couldn't play today that's
bullshit he could play today he would be the best fifth blitzer.
He doesn't have to drop into coverage.
He would be Makai Parsons, dominant.
He would be physical.
I mean, big linebackers, those middle linebackers were the dominant players.
I think we're not respecting this enough.
You're laughing at me, Pat.
That's not fair.
Lavo, you get nobody's names right.
Like not even.
Sweet name
You should change it
It's amazing
I get Carson's name wrong all the time
Don't I?
That's not the only one
Hey Lambeau
Listen you just keep rolling
Alright your brain
You don't need to worry about the semantics
Love you Lambeau
The only reason why Ty brought that whole thing up
That you didn't take
Is because the way you pronounce
Dan Orlovsky's name the last time Oh I just just call him danny oh look my wife's polish i can't get i can't get
it all straight so it's all good yeah uh jackson smith and jigma last time and joke bow oh yeah
you got me that one yeah i've never i've been able to get that one right ever i gotta practice
that one for a while but no no don't do that do that. Don't do that. It's a part of your thing.
It's a part of your thing.
When I was in the draft, I just nicknamed him.
It was easier to nickname him.
Yeah.
Lambo, you're the best.
Connor has a question for you, pal.
Yeah, Lambo, just quickly on that name thing.
You called Mike Kosicki Mike Goleski last year,
and I haven't referred to him as anything other than Goleski since then.
But you mentioned teams, four teams from each side that probably won't make the playoffs
next year.
Obviously, from what you said about the Vikings, they're one of those teams I would assume
that you would have on your list that would not go back.
Who else do you think might be in danger there, both in the AFC and in the NFC?
And because of that, who do you think is just going to come out of nowhere?
You know, I think the AFC is really hard to predict, right?
I think whoever you put in the AFC is going to be a challenge.
You know, Miami last year, can they do it again this season
if Tua stays healthy for all the games?
You know, Buffalo, are they going to recoup?
Are they going to get back together again?
I mean, I don't know.
I think there's so many good AFC teams, it's hard for me to go there.
Denver's going to be much improved.
There's no question about that.
With Sean Payton as their head coach, they're going to be much improved.
Will the Chargers improve?
I saw a video.
Russ is so bad.
Lombo, I don't know if you saw Rusty Will Dogg.
I mean, this guy.
He looks sweet.
What do you mean?
I wonder if, you know, there's a great thing.
If he doesn't play well, does he go to Jarrett Stidham?
Does he play Jarrett?
Because, I mean, Sean's got nothing invested in Russell Wilson.
See, when you don't have anything invested in bringing the player in,
your tolerance for bad play is a lot shorter.
Yeah, but has he seen this?
But I think in the AFC, you could pick any one of these teams
and you could make a case for, again, the NFC is a little harder.
Like I think Green Bay is going to be better than we think they are.
Yes, I agree.
Because Green Bay defensively is pretty good.
They gave up 17 points in the last five games of the season.
You know, their comeback, if Jair Alexander is healthy and he's playing,
their kicking game is much improved with Rich Bisacci.
So I think they'll be much better.
And that division, to me, isn't an elite division.
You've got Chicago.
You've got Detroit, who's good.
How good will Detroit be?
Are they better on defense?
And then Minnesota.
I love that Chicago was the first one you said.
When that division not that good, Chicago, for instance,
that's what Chicago people are going to say.
Always this guy's first thing is just Chicago's number one overall pick.
At least he gave us big buckets.
You guys had number one overall pick, though, also.
That gets forgotten about because Carolina traded up there.
So everybody forgets that Chicago Bears were the worst team in football last year.
Yeah.
Like that is just what they were.
But it is big city, awesome city.
Number two. Certainly number three. the worst team in football last year. Yeah. Like, that's just what they were. But it is big city, awesome city.
Number two.
Certainly number three, and I think it's – you're getting pulled away.
No, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah.
I think it's getting worse.
Teams are – cities are about to pass it.
Yeah, LA's getting –
Phoenix, Houston.
Houston.
So, Lambeau would have drafted a quarterback?
Let's talk – just real quick, real quick here.
I don't want to continue to bury the Bears. Give Lambeau a chance to do that. Let's talk just real quick, real quick here. I don't want to
continue to bury the Bears. Give Longbow a chance
to do that. Let's bury the Broncos.
Okay? Okay. Have you
seen this video from Russell? Honestly, Longbow?
No, I haven't. I saw
the one on, I have seen the one
on Trey Lance going through the bags.
I've seen that one. Okay, this is not Trey Lance.
This is last year.
This is a Russell Wilson from last year video.
Yes, yes.
You know what I mean?
Russell Wilson kind of been low key.
Lay low.
Oh, shimmy shake.
Shoulder.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
That's fun.
You see that?
You see that, Lombo?
He's back having a blast at the house with the wife, obviously.
And in the video that we watched from the Sierra content, which feels feels like a reality tv show she just asked him if he'd get
out of car and do a dance with her because she just wanted to dance oh he didn't want
oh he's back he's back oh oh oh wrong way sorry about that sorry about it sorry about it this is
uh this feels like a last year russell wilson video coming out now yeah he obviously looks
like he's in better shape what are your thoughts on russell wilson this year with sean payton and you said i think
we're gonna i think we're gonna know fairly quickly i think one of the things we don't talk
enough about with older quarterbacks and and is the fact that when they get hit so much their eye
level comes down and they don't work the pocket the ladder in the pockets one of the most important
things a quarterback has if brock purdy would have worked the ladder in the 49er game
and not had Hassan Riddick hit his elbow, he wouldn't have gotten hurt.
But he kind of was late to work the pocket.
Quarterbacks that get hit too much, Stafford, Russell Wilson,
they have a tendency to not work the pocket.
They don't climb the ladder.
They want to run out sideways.
That's what Russell's been doing, just get out of the pocket.
Hey, you mean come back up in here, right, right, right, right?
Yep.
We're going back. Climb the ladder,, right? Right, right, right, right. We're going back.
High, high, high,
high.
Nobody's open. High,
high. Because your offense line
pushing people by, you see. That's right.
But when you start going sideways
like that, then it becomes a real problem.
And your eye level's down. And one of the things we
look for in quarterbacks is yards per
attempt. When your yards per attempt is starting to go on a steady stream downward, that's a concern because you're
not looking up the field. You're looking at the right guard, who we missed his block. You're
looking at the left tackler. Oh no, he wasn't very good. So I, and that's been Russell, 189 yards
rushing last year. You know, there was a time where he would get 50 first downs rushing in
the season, you know, but he slowly has not done that. And I think you can
look great in OTA days and you can look great in minicamp, but once you get hit, once you get that
punch in the nose, everything kind of goes away and you've got to see if he can regroup. Now,
you know, there was a time where Kurt Warner, when he went from, when he went from the Rams to the giants, his eye level was down and at the giants,
his experience was not good.
And he got it back at Arizona and he became the hall of fame player in
Arizona. Can Russell do that? I don't know. I just don't know yet.
Sean Payton did not trust the offensive line either.
He went in there and said, we're moving this.
So hopefully Sean Payton with that move was able to tell Russell
I'm worrying about the same thing you are.
Hopefully confidence and trust will get built back up.
And hopefully we'll be able to see not just
electrifying dancing, Russ.
Let's see him on the field doing his thing because
letting Russ cook is a lot of fun on primetime.
If he's playing well. Last year, they
were a fucking bismal to watch.
The worst. It was terrible. Everything about
it was bad hopefully
they'll get better a team we never talk about todd you had your question for lambo yeah lambo
you kind of touched it a little bit but in terms of like uh if you had to pick one dark horse team
um like last year seattle going into the season everyone was saying like hey this team is
absolutely terrible they're for sure gonna get a you know top three pick in the draft and probably
draft the quarterback and then geno smith wins comeback player of the year. They go to the
playoffs and now who knows what they're going to be this year. But if there is one team from either
the NFC or the AFC who you think would have that type of season, who do you think it would be?
I really like Carolina's team. I think if they can get production from Bryce Young in terms of not
making mistakes with the football and playing within himself and the leadership that he's
going to bring to their team, they're good on defense. That offensive line improved last year
and they can run the football effectively. So I like them. I really do. I like Atlanta,
what they've done defensively. I'm just not sure that Ritter's ready to be the starting quarterback
and they're ready to be this explosive offense
if they put the ball in his hands.
I think that's a concern.
I think we're underestimating Mike Vrabel in Tennessee too.
Because Mike Vrabel –
Hold on, hold on, Lambeau.
Weren't they saying Vrabel was just –
remember whenever those rules got passed,
they were like Vrabel kind of lost his fastball.
Yeah, laid down.
Remember that?
People were saying that.
People were saying Vrabel lost his fastball.
Walked all over him.
We would never say this, obviously.
No.
Because we know what he is capable of, what he is built from.
He's an Ohio fuck.
Through and through.
With a football IQ that goes on and on and on and on.
But you're right.
Nobody's really talking about the Titans at all
because everybody in the AFC South is talking about the Indianapolis Colts,
the Richards, just being the next big team.
You're saying the Vrabes-led Titans are going to be a squad
with Derrick Henry healthy maybe?
Well, I think if they're healthy defensively.
Look, I mean, last year was one of the most incredible games
when they played that Sunday night game in Kansas City with no quarterback.
They got one first down in the second quarter and then didn't get another one, and they got the game into overtime.
I mean, that's remarkable.
They played Jacksonville, who we're all in love with, right?
Jacksonville's end-of-the-year game against Tennessee with Joshua Dobbs at quarterback,
that's a 17-10 game with Tennessee trying to move the ball before Dobbs gets strip-sacked.
I mean, they're not a bad team. a 17 to 10 game with Tennessee trying to move in the ball before Dobbs gets strip sacked.
I mean, they're not a bad team. Now, they didn't touch Tannehill's contract, right? So he's making $25 million all in paragraph five, which means they don't want to put any more money into future
cap problems. So Tannehill's going to be the quarterback. I mean, this nonsense that Will
Levis is going to beat out Tannehill, I think is ridiculous. I just think it's, I mean, he couldn't beat out Sean Clifford at Penn State. How's he going to beat out Tannehill, I think is ridiculous.
I just think it's,
I mean,
he couldn't beat out Sean Clifford at Penn State.
How's he going to beat out Tannehill now?
Well,
he's a different player.
He's a different player.
He's a rookie.
He's a first year player.
It's going to be hard for him to beat out Tannehill.
I'm just telling you,
it's going to be hard for Mike Vrabel to stand in front of the team and say,
fellas,
you know,
Will's going to take over.
Even though Ryan's, you guys have been in locker rooms.
The coach loses all his credibility when he tries to invent a starter than when the guy earns the job.
And it's going to be hard for him to earn that job in a year.
So you're saying Vrabel has not lost his – people are saying this, not us.
Wow.
People are saying Vrabel no longer really an Ohio Falk.
This is his last year in Tennessee.
He doesn't have a fastball anymore.
You don't think that's the case?
I think any time people think that you're just in the one year,
nobody can do this job half-assed, right?
You've got to be fully invested.
And look, Mike Rabel knows he's coaching for his coaching future
because if you go and lay down and take that attitude,
then you don't want to be a head coach.
I think that's really probably not the right way to look at it.
I think Vabrel's one of those guys who proved everybody wrong with his career,
third-round pick, Pittsburgh, signs with New England and free agency.
I think his whole mantra is overcoming.
Okay, so you think he's still got it, though, you're saying?
I think he does.
I mean, look, I probably don't think he's happy with the amount of talent
that he's been given on that team and the blown draft picks that they've had,
especially high picks where they haven't been able to get them on the field,
whether it's Farley or Wilson.
AJ, that's good to hear about Fraves, isn't it?
Still got it, they say.
It's great to hear.
I don't know where you're hearing these Internet rumors about him losing anything, though.
That's just what the Internet's saying.
Yeah, they are.
That's right.
It wasn't me saying that. I would never say that
about Fraves. He put his big mitt on me.
We're going to probably see him out of Tahoe.
And all these people that are saying he lost his fastball,
I'm like, you've never seen that guy's fucking mitts, bro.
He's got the fastball.
They're running him out of town.
He's a strategist. I mean, the guy does a great job
of managing the game, and I think his team
buys into him. And his
defense is good now.
I mean, let's be clear.
His defense is good.
Will they miss David Long?
They would.
They missed him last year when he got hurt.
But I do think they'll be good on defense.
With Jeffrey Simmons inside, they could be a disruptive team.
Remember, we started looking at him and obviously saying this is everybody
that is a part of this conversation is going to be like,
don't do that, and people on the internet.
But we started looking at Vrabel as a guy like, hey, his team's going to be in it.
Yes, no matter what.
No matter what.
His team is going to be in it, no matter what his team is.
Because to your point, they had like 80-some guys go on IR one year or whatever.
They had people rolling in onto the team on Thursday
playing like actual meaningful minutes on Sunday.
And it got to the point where it was like,
Vrabel will figure out how to keep his team in this game.
Now in the fourth quarter late, will they be able to steal one or win it?
We don't know, but he'll have them there.
And it was almost like Belichickian.
It was almost like the way we started talking about it was like Bill will have his team.
It might be ugly football.
This might be very boring to watch.
But Bill will have his team in it.
Tomlin.
Tomlin, same exact way.
Vrabel, we started viewing him that way pretty quickly.
And now we've not chatted about the Titans
at all. Nope. Not at all.
It's not been talked about. A little sleeping giant
down there in Nashville. What a city.
I don't know how they get any rest with all those options
down on that Broadway. Tough place to play.
Everybody's got a bar down there. I don't know
if I would do well as a Titan. No way.
I don't think I should be in that city, but Lombeau,
we hope to one day be in a city with you
so we can give you a hug
and thank you for everything.
You're the man, pal.
Thanks, guys.
Appreciate you.
Have a great weekend.
What do you got this weekend?
You on a boardwalk this weekend or what?
No, I'm going to be back here
in the Pat McAfee kitchen back here.
I'm just doing some grilling,
you know,
hanging out at the beach,
just chilling around.
That's all.
Hey, well,
I hope you enjoy it
because you live
in that cold beach town
yeah all those months for right now yeah if not now when and today's one of those days it would
take a lot of you to kill you it's too nice out here if not you then who ladies and gentlemen
for us to figure out is what's going on in the sports world.
In next Saturday, there is an electrifying bout taking place in the city of Detroit, Michigan.
Hell yeah.
Live on The Zone.
It is a rematch.
Not just a rematch that just shouldn't be talked about.
No, a rematch of epic proportions.
The lady that's joining us right now is 14-1.
The one in her 14-1 is the person she'll be fighting next Saturday night.
Whoa.
Vengeance and all of the super featherweight belts in the entire world
are on the line as the champion who joins us right now puts them on the line.
Ladies and gentlemen, Alicia, the bomb
bomb gardener!
Yeah!
How you doing? I feel good about the
announcement. I did a lot of research
into this entire thing. I did not know
the past beef we had with
Lina Datal that you're going to be fighting.
Let's fucking beat her ass,
Alicia. Let's do this.
I'm so ready to take a bitch to pound town.
Yeah.
Really just,
just put it all in.
I've been doing 11 rounds,
13 rounds.
I'm I've never felt so amazing and prepare for such a better camp than this
fight right here.
Okay.
You're eight days out.
That's great to hear.
We should be peaking. I don't, I've never been through a fight camp, but I've here. Okay, you're eight days out. That's great to hear. We should be peaking.
I've never been through a fight camp,
but I've seen others that have tried to get into shape.
We're getting to the point
where we need to be at our absolute best.
How'd you get into boxing, Alicia?
Because obviously this morning,
as I was thinking about our conversation,
women in combat sports have obviously had legends
for a long, long time,
but it feels like it's much more accepted now
than it maybe was even
10, 20 years ago, or maybe a dream of people. How'd you get into boxing and what is your
obsession with it? You know, I first have to recognize that wrestling was my first sport
that transcended into boxing. So just the, the buildup and what wrestling did for me and the
confidence, my, you know, After wrestling, my dad's like,
hey, what about boxing? I'm like, okay, why not? And it just stuck. It's a competitive sport.
I'm competing against men and it's just building my confidence as I continue to grow in the sport.
And I love it. And I've just been able to see myself grow into this fighter
and just defend myself.
It doesn't matter gender. I put the work in
and I'm ready to just show the world
who I am.
Oh my God, so many boys crying.
Oh my God, I see those videos all the time.
Some people are.
Oh my God.
Alicia, you know what they have to answer to
from all their friends immediately after you fucking ragdolled them too,
which is, I bet, an even better feeling of fulfillment.
In boxing, every day you're training, you fight dudes in there?
How's the training go, and what is a normal day?
You said you're doing 11 rounds.
That feels like a long time.
What's a normal day look like?
Yeah, so first, we are sparring men.
Again, the men prepare me, they keep me sharp and, um, it's just something that builds me as a fighter, but for camp, we
purposely have women cause that's who I fight at the end of the day. So, you know, we go two minutes
and it's a 10 round fight. So that's,. So those are what women go.
And then men, they fight three minutes, 12 rounds.
So we're right where we need to be.
Golly, I couldn't even imagine.
I would vomit all over.
Immediately.
Go ahead, AJ.
I'm curious about the atmosphere in the locker room
right before a fight with you and your team.
What's it like?
Is it tense?
Is it music playing?
Is it loose?
How do you feel?
And has that kind of changed through the course of your team? What's it like? Is it tense? Is it music playing? Is it loose? Like, how do you feel? And has that kind of changed
through the course of your career?
Yeah, you know, it's a calm setting.
It's the calm before the storm.
You know, this is the fun part.
The fight's the fun part.
The training's the hard part.
So this is like, you know, there's no nerves.
This is like, A.B., you do this for a living.
Have fun.
Go out there and do what you do best and win.
Have you ever?
What music have we playing in there?
Some Detroit-owned music, some Get Ready, some Crunk, some Trill,
some I'm About to Beat a Bitch Up.
Hell yeah.
I love everything about that, you know,
because we used to drive to a parking lot,
and we would just put on one song that we thought would, you know,
really get us going.
Yep.
And then some guys would come back with their asses beat.
Got some blood.
And some guys would have won.
It's like, well, maybe not the same song for everybody.
You know, maybe.
Yeah, exactly.
Bia Bia was very loud going in there.
I couldn't even fathom the gladiator mindset
that you really need to get in there.
You said you grew up wrestling.
You box.
And I read that you liked the WWE.
That seems like, right? That's going to're the you're the fucking champ aren't you undisputed
super featherweight of the world every you have championships right now in the wbc ibo wbo and
ibf i didn't know all those motherfuckers existed you're the champion of all of them
feels like wwe would be a natural fit is that
is that something that's been on your radar yeah i mean i can do it all and i'm open to just
anything that's available in wrestling again that's that's my sport so i would love to head
arm a bitch you know flama connor has a question for you Alicia
how long do you think you want to go
obviously the WWE is one of those things
where you know you could easily transition
to especially with what you've done
already but you've kind of conquered
the super featherweight division
already is there like a set date
or are you just kind of going until it's one of those
things where you feel that you're ready for the
next step in your life yeah you know we want the champions at 135 you know i want to move
up in weight i want to conquer 135 become undisputed at 35 and potentially 40 i just
believe my skill is superior than the women that i see right now and that it's about making
statements and really solidifying
who Alicia is in the sport of boxing
not just women's boxing
hey just real quick you ever
AJ you know a question's coming
you ever put the oculus on
and box in the oculus
no never
never tried it
it's pretty legit
really you have seen it you's pretty legit it's really say you say it's real yeah you say yeah really you have seen you have respect for it um maybe that alicia see here's the thing i don't
want to get punched in the actual face you know but boxing is an incredible workout like you're
what you guys do is fucking miserable we said this this literally yesterday to Nate Diaz and Jake Paul,
and obviously I'm excited to get your take on kind of what you think Jake has done
with MVP and the spotlight that's been brought back onto boxing.
I feel through him as somebody who is an outsider.
But I asked them both if they've ever done the Oculus boxing
because I don't want to get punched in the actual face.
And they basically just shoot it off.
But on the Internet, the company that owns the game told me
the boxers would say it's most similar.
You know what I mean?
So I feel like I've been bamboozled a little.
Boom!
That's me knocking somebody out, Alicia.
He's fucking dead, dude.
Pretty real ring.
I'm in the lower quarter.
I'm going to have to try it.
I'm going to have to try it.
Oh, I would need to know what you think if it's real or not, too,
because I don't want to accidentally one day just wake up
and have this exuberant amount of confidence. just knocked out eight people in the oculus i'm gonna go down to a
boxing gym and see what happens and just get my face ponded don't need that let's talk about
boxing though the sport jake paul obviously the boxing purist at the beginning hated everything
it was about i think they were mad at boxers or fighters that were taking boxing matches against them
because it was an embarrassment to the sport.
He's making a mockery out of this.
I feel like what Jake Paul is trying to do now, here we are three years later,
has really come to fruition.
Boxing is at a place that I think it hasn't been in in some time.
You're in that world, I'm not.
Do you agree with that or do you not agree with that?
Yeah, there were some necessary changes that happened along the way with that.
I think Jake, you know, shined light on the sport in the necessary areas as far as low pay, you know, competition fights and even just fighters who haven't got their shot to even be on, you know, on TV, really.
And again, you know, he's doing it for the women, for Amanda Serrano.
So I think at first people were like,
hey, he's taking this as a joke. But I think
long-term-wise, he's shifted
the narrative to say, hey, I'm
putting people in seats. We're bringing
a different crowd of eyes to the sport
of boxing and helping
other fighters really get those big paydays.
Hell yeah. I think I've paid attention
to more boxing since it's all started.
Can't wait to watch you next week against a known opponent.
Tone has a question for you.
Yeah, I do.
I saw that the last time you fought her was five years ago.
So can you even take anything from that fight?
Or have you guys just changed so much that you just kind of put that one aside?
Man, I put that aside.
I put that aside i put that
aside like i'm a completely different fighter at first i'm like this is redemption but i'm like
listen i redeemed myself by becoming undisputed i'm a completely different fighter a well-rounded
fighter and i'm just i'm hungry i'm hungry for this lick back that i want and just to really
show her like who you thought that was and who it is now.
New me.
This is undisputed me.
Yeah, it's undisputed me.
I love everything about it.
Does she have a style that you like?
Like a favorable style for your fighting style now at this stage?
Listen, she's open enough to get hit and that's my target.
Hey, I got that on the Oculus.
In the Oculus, you actually can go in front of a dummy.
They got a dummy there, and they got these little sensors.
Like, hey, we're looking for right here.
Obviously looking for right here.
Kidney.
The kidney.
We're fucking that thing up.
You know what I mean?
We got a high-heeled kidney.
Alicia, I can't wait to watch you go to work.
Ty has a question for you.
Yeah, Alicia, obviously you've dominated your division in boxing,
and it sounds like you don't want to stop anytime soon.
But when you do have that wrestling background
and you see kind of some of the stars that have been made in the UFC,
I mean, I know we talk about the WWE,
but is the UFC something you'd entertain,
or is it tough because then that's just, you know, you got to dedicate yourself to multiple disciplines as opposed to, you know, just focusing on boxing and kind of dominating right now?
You know, the UFC is definitely an option for me.
Again, I'm an athlete.
I'm a competitor.
I love that I'm able to do a lot of things.
And, you know, this could be like a Mayweather-McGregor type fight,
whoever their champion is over there.
So, you know, I'm up for it.
I'm ready.
Well, we can't wait to watch you just kind of take over the world.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to join us.
What are the next eight days?
Are we just – we're obviously eating incredibly clean.
Yep.
We're drinking water.
What?
We're sleeping well.
Are we still trying to get better in the ring or cardio wise,
or are we shutting it down for a week?
We have checked all the boxes.
Now we just relaxing, watching sparring.
And, you know, I make weight easy.
I'm already on weight.
So the hard part's over.
We just sit back, relax, and wait for fight week next week
and prepare to beat
ass on Saturday night.
Love that. What are you doing Friday?
Well, I'm preparing to kick somebody's ass tomorrow.
Good luck out there. We can't wait to watch
On The Zone. There's also other
fights obviously taking place that are going to be big.
Bitter rivals, Richardson
Hitchens and Montana Love Clash.
Montana Love. I didn't know
that person existed. Great fucking name.
Great name. And Cuban amateur sensation
Andy Cruz will make his pro debut
in Detroit
next Saturday. Alicia, good luck
and thank you for joining us.
Thank you for having me. Hey, what are we doing?
We going, you know, are we...
Head body.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Holy shit. I didn't know you were brought... Obviously, that, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Holy shit.
I didn't know you were brought.
Obviously, that makes sense.
You are jocked.
You are jocked.
I'm ready.
Yes, sir.
Hell yeah.
Ladies and gentlemen, Alicia Barber.
Gun stuff.
Hell yeah.
Alicia.
Holy shit.
Jocked.
Jocked.
Fucking jocked, dude.
Jocked.
Incredibly jocked. So jocked. No crop in her diet. No. She's Fucking jocked, dude. Jocked.
So jocked.
No crop in her diet.
No.
She's not eating crop.
No way.
No way, especially now.
Hayes in the barn, she said.
Checked all the boxes.
Now we're just kind of watching, sparring things, feeling good, going in there fresh.
In Detroit.
Detroit's had a pretty good little run here.
Yeah.
Best run they've ever had, I would say.
Lions are people like them, man.
They're good.
Yep.
Good team. The NASCAR IndyCar they're good. Yep. Good team.
The NASCAR IndyCar was up there.
Golf was up there.
Yep.
NFL Draft is coming.
Summer Slam's up there.
Boom.
Pipers aren't terrible.
It's summertime in Michigan.
Yes, exactly.
Yeah.
Bam, bam.
Bam, bam.
Bam, bam, bam, bam.
Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
Dude, they had Tim Robinson up there throwing some.
Yeah.
From Detroit.
I didn't know he was from Detroit.
He had sweet pants on, too.
He's from Detroit.
I didn't know that.
It makes sense.
He had a Detroit show, I think.
Yeah, it's called Detroiters.
There you go.
And then he had his other show, his silent comedy show,
goes up there, I think, every year.
I will say, I have not gone back and looked at.
You mean the one all the frat guys go to? Well, I'm struggling. What are you doing? I'm, every year. I will say, I have not gone back and looked at... You mean the one all the frat guys go to?
Well, I'm struggling! What are you doing?
I'm in a house!
I'm in a house!
There's people that watch his show
that have never seen that show.
Or people that have seen that show.
And they have no idea why we like that show.
Tim Robinson has been having to deal with that
his entire life. The fact that he's from
Detroit and he's got that grit
is the only reason why we've made it to a point
that he has his own Netflix series that we all get to see.
So I'd like to thank him and Detroit for creating that mental toughness
when there were so many people telling him to shut the fuck up
and he's not funny.
And now, look at him, dude.
That guy.
Look at those pants.
So sweet.
I wonder if he, like, bowled the first pitch down. That guy. Look at those pants. So sweet.
I wonder if he, like, bowled the first pitch down.
Yeah, like, how does he act in public?
Yeah.
I just want to see the show in public.
Yes.
You know, just as he's, well, hey, guys.
I would imagine he's very shy because people probably want him to just be,
like, screaming and getting in their faces constantly when he's in public.
Yeah, I would assume that the new found and not that he wasn't popular before but i didn't know the motherfucker existed before a couple months ago and i assume i'm not the only one now him out in public now
i couldn't even fathom what people say oh my god yeah so many driver cruder i'm gonna steal your
fucking decals these pants aren't helping the cause. I mean, maybe he's thinking,
I'll wear these pants so all people
want to talk about is these pants
instead of me riding a zip line
into a pool.
Yeah, over and over.
And on and on and on, yeah.
All right, let's go to a couple
of phone calls and get the hell
out of here on this feel-good Friday.
Frat guys want to kill me.
They hate it so much.
Him wanting to die because he's wearing that.
Yeah.
It's so fucking hot in here.
You did too much.
For Tim.
Slag.
Tim.
All right, let's go to some phones.
Let's go to Trent in Indiana.
What's going on, Trent?
Hey, how y'all doing?
Hey, not too shabby, Trent. We would say keep it moving, but it go to some phones. Let's go to Trent in Indiana. What's going on, Trent? Hey, how y'all doing? Hey, not too shabby, Trent.
We would say keep it moving, but it's Feel Good Friday,
so genuinely want you to know.
Have a great one, Trent.
All right, thanks for the call, Bob.
Love you, Trent.
I'm having a blast.
I'm having a blast.
Hey, to kind of ride this Feel Good Friday,
as a Chiefs fan, I felt the positive move of all the success of the Chiefs. Now, I
can happily say this. Who do you
guys would say in a
Super Bowl would benefit the most
if the NFL could
script it? Would you say like a Lions
Bill Super Bowl would be the best?
Because you know it would be like a win-win
situation for both fan bases. What do you all think?
Lions?
Bill? Boo.
Yeah.
Because they both have never.
Thank you, Trent.
Thank you, Trent.
The NFL is not trying to have the Detroit Lions in the Super Bowl.
It's not their first choice.
Opening day.
Not their first choice.
For opening day, it's like, yeah, we'll give them opening day.
But remember, I mean, Justin Tucker hits a 75-yard field goal.
It bounces in.
Right.
It was after a clear delay game.
Oh, yeah.
I don't think Detroit Lions fans are ever going to get on board with thinking that the NFL wants them to win.
No, I 100% agree.
I actually know so many people from the state of Michigan
that aren't Detroit Lions fans because they've been bad for so long.
Yeah, but so the Lions would be sweet if they were to go,
great feel-good story, the specials would be good.
But the NFL is looking for, if you were to think the NFL
is just this big money-grubbing, corporate bullshit scripting thing, they want L.A. versus New York.
Or the Cowboys.
Or the Dallas Cowboys.
Yeah, they want New York Jets, Aaron Rodgers.
Jets, Cowboys.
Jets, Cowboys would be amazing.
Jets, Rams would be amazing.
Cowboys, Bills.
Yeah, anything.
Cowboys,Buffalo.
Yeah.
See?
Well, but like throwback from those Super Bowls, you know, when the Bills couldn't win.
But it depends on what narrative you're trying to build on what the NFL cares about.
If the NFL cares about just big market, big money, you would think it would be New York, L.A., or Dallas.
Because Cowboys are obviously America's team.
If it's just like storylines, just so they can say, like,
oh, this story happened, Detroit would be fucking awesome.
I mean, that would be a very cool thing.
But then if you're saying they want Detroit to win,
then you're saying the NFL has a heart in their scriptwriting,
which would go against everything you're saying about them cheating and rigging the game, right?
So it's tough to really digest what the scriptwriters are thinking,
but I don't know if Detroit would be at the top of the list,
but hey, we'd write it.
We'd write them in there.
It'd be good.
We would, but we would let emotions creep into the script.
I don't think the NFL lets emotion ever creep into anything that they're doing.
When you read the first script, AJ, what was your thoughts?
From the NFL when they first presented it to me years and years ago?
Yeah.
Your rookie year script.
Yeah.
I was a bit confused at first.
Me too.
I can't read it.
I told them they're going to have to read that to me.
You don't read the script.
The script reads you.
Bingo.
And also, I don't read good.
You know what I mean?
So if you can put this in the form of a tweet, that would be cool.
That would be perfect.
AJ was pumped too.
He's downplaying it when he found out he was going to set the record
for all-time tackles
in a rookie season for the Green Bay
Packers. He went through the roof. He has that?
Yeah, he has that. That's been broken.
Oh, I thought Quay Walker didn't break
it because he got kicked out.
Oh, yeah, you're right. I think he was
one shy. Quay Walker
needed like seven tackles against the Lions
and then he got kicked out of the game with like five
tackles. AJ.
So the NFL wrote the script
to AJ. I don't know what you're trying to do
here, Quay. I mean, AJ just thumbed through his
script and just wanted to see how many times he
was going to be able to do the old sit and gum prank
in the locker room. That's really all he was looking
for his rookie year.
All right, let's go to the phones.
Never done it. Never done it.
Okay. I appreciate it. Okay.
I appreciate when others do.
Let's go to Katrina in Michigan.
1-833-433-3663.
1-833-4-D-D-O-M.
Katrina, what's up?
Hey, boys.
How you doing?
Great.
Thank you.
Keep it moving.
How are you, Katrina?
I'm good.
I was talking to you the other day on threads
about the chat and I just wanted to give them a little love and say hi before I oh I do remember
this yes on a thread I was you said that the callers don't give the people in the YouTube
chat enough love and that we should do that more and And I said that I haven't looked at the YouTube chat in over a year
because maybe two years, it was getting to a point where it was distracting,
too entertaining.
I mean, they're letting shots fly.
Oh, yeah.
Very toxic.
Can't be doing it.
I'm not saying that.
You said that or whatever.
If that's the case, I need to look more.
But I don't really pay attention enough, so it's kind of out of sight,
out of mind.
Yeah. We do appreciate the chat.
Good acting.
Love you, chat.
Good working.
Thank you, chat.
Bailey McComas was doing a full press conference after the ESPN deal was announced.
I think he lives in there.
That's right.
I think CFO Phil's in there on a daily basis.
We don't get to see any of it, but I'm told that they're in there and they're doing their thing.
Here it is right now.
Meg, oh, hell yeah.
I love you, Katrina.
This is D-O-N-S.
I'm sure a super positive person.
Really appreciative.
James T, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Hey, good emojis in there or whatever those are called.
Yeah, we got a great community.
We appreciate the hell out of them.
Not going anywhere, by the way.
Never.
Not going anywhere.
Good.
We have fun over there.
Let's hold out.
Yeah, you lied to us, man. I wanted to just gossip a bit. I did anywhere. Good. We have fun over there. Let's hold out. Yeah, you lied to us, man.
I wanted to just gossip a bit.
I did not.
Okay.
Go ahead, let's gossip.
I love gossip.
It's Feel Good Friday.
Okay, so it's about your, like,
I know you and her are kind of besties now
because you ran into each other,
but Kim K and Tom, what's going on?
Oh, Kim K, yeah, we did.
I saw her, Khloe, and the entire Keeping Up with the Kardashians crew backing out of an elevator at the Disney upfronts.
Now, I do not believe that me and any of the Kardashians made eye contact with each other.
Did wish them good luck out there, though.
Yep.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It was said back, which is is very very kind for them to
acknowledge i wish them good luck but yeah kim k tom it's been a couple months now right because
remember she's gonna move in that neighborhood they're friends she just asked for help now
they're at the all-white party huh they may arrive different uh separately but people were saying
on that dance floor tom was doing the russell wilson, exactly. That's what they said.
How do you feel about it? Do you think old Tom Brady and Kim Kardashian are together?
And what are your thoughts on this new couple?
They might have found love in a hopeless place.
They might have found love in a hopeless place.
I think it's probably inevitable that they're going to at least have
some kind of little run together, don't you think?
Both of them being so powerful.
So, you know, both of them at the peak of
what they do i guess yeah they'll be together yeah two goats here right yeah couple goats couple
goats yeah they don't need to get married or anything but yeah if this is what chris wants
yeah especially yeah yeah if chris yeah she's there she's on board is there a new season coming
out soon i think there's always when there's always a season oh then yeah they're together
and it's like a diamond store It's like a diamond store.
You walk into a diamond store like,
gotta buy this today, sale ends tomorrow,
need to get it out of here, blah, blah, blah.
And then guess what? Tomorrow, new sale starts.
They didn't tell you about that.
Kardashians are always in a season.
You think Kim saw, this is probably from
when Tom put his dong on the internet
and AQ was looking up and thinking about it.
Oh, you're talking about when he was sitting
in his tights.
Holding his nutsack with his hand.
On the side of his bed.
On the side of his bed.
And he was like, Tommy's back.
Because he knew he was about to be single.
Exactly.
Well, Tom also knows he just lost $50 million in crypto.
30.
I thought it was 43.
He never had it.
He never had it.
Giselle had 18.
Okay.
He had 30 from the article that I read.
And then he never saw that money ever. He never had it. Gisele had 18. Okay. He had 30 from the article that I read. And then he never saw that money ever.
He never saw it.
Yeah, but he's going to get it back with one day with Kim K.
I do believe if Tom Brady and Kim Kardashian were to get together,
I mean, that's billions of dollars on an elevator, obviously.
Billions.
But, like, who knows what Kris Jenner would cook up.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
Tom would be doing so much cool stuff.
If you think about this, as soon as What's-His-Face started dating Kim,
he became the face of Taco Bell and everything.
Travis Scott, I believe, got in that.
He's at McDonald's.
He's got his own shoes.
I think they even got that one light-skinned dude.
Chris Humphries.
Chris Humphries.
I think he even got deals with blah, blah, blah.
You got a massive deal with some team signed him with like a $90 million contract.
Yeah, Chris is going to be like, hey, Tom, you ever heard of blah, blah, blah?
They have $50 million for you if you want to go be their spokesperson.
I only have daughters.
It's a guy thing.
That'll happen.
Tom's like, holy shit.
And then he'll quit the Fox thing.
Oh.
That's where we're potentially staring down here with old Tom and Kim.
Maybe she just wants him to, like, throw slants to Rob Kardashian in the front yard.
That'd be sweet.
Hey, Rob, to get a little active.
He used to have those socks.
Now we need him to touch some balls.
We need him to lose some weight.
Tom, can you come and, like, run some rounds?
No way they got Tom mic'd up on a reality show, though.
Oh, hey. Yeah, though. No way.
Maybe.
I disagree.
I disagree wholeheartedly.
You think Tom's going to come in and go,
Clay, I'm so sorry.
Probably.
100%.
Yeah.
150%.
Let me burp your baby.
Here you go.
I'll feed her the bottle.
Yeah, he'll do everything.
Yeah, but then at some point, though, with the Kardashians,
it's not all just like fun and games.
It's not all glitz and glamour, right?
Don't they?
That shit gets real.
I don't know.
What do you mean?
New face.
Tom will love that.
Yes.
They just say like every dude that gets in there gets, you know, it's a curse.
Oh, yeah.
It's like the shows on Hulu now.
Right.
Is it still getting numbers?
It's they have.
Yeah.
I think they have a new show now because there's keeping up with the Kardashians.
I actually tried to clarify this earlier. Now they just have like a's Keeping Up with the Kardashians. I actually tried to clarify this earlier.
Now they just have a show that's called the Kardashians.
What?
Yes.
Is that on Hulu because Seacrest owned Keeping Up with the Kardashians?
Bingo.
Zeno just said, yes, that's on Hulu.
I don't know.
To be honest, this is a flaw in me.
I don't pay attention to shit TV enough.
I used to.
Hell yeah.
Yeah, but now?
Now I don't have time to shit TV enough. I used to. Hell yeah. Yeah, but now.
Now I don't have time for shit TV.
No.
But what the Kardashians have done is a work of art.
Absolutely.
Masterminds.
They are so wealthy.
Absurd.
And it's not stopping.
No.
It is only growing.
Can you get Tom Brady in there?
Oh my God.
Kris Jenner is just sitting there.
Yeah.
Yep.
Come on, Kim. Go dance. Go dance sitting there. Yeah. Yep. Come on, Kim.
Go dance.
Go dance with Tom.
Dance with Tom.
Come on.
Once Tom sees the way you move, he's never going to be able to resist.
Here's seven rings.
Give them eight.
We get Tom Brady on our Hulu show.
Maybe you guys go to a Taylor Swift concert.
Oh.
How do you think Kanye reacts?
Oh, boy.
Not good.
That's going to be a full album. That's why he's been wearing.
The album's going to be called, like, Kill Goats or something like that.
Yeah, that's why he's been wearing shoulder pads.
Oh.
My.
God.
Oh, Kim's into football players now?
I'll wear shoulder pads.
Makes sense.
Guys, Kanye's married.
He does not care.
You're right.
Come on.
I'm sure that's true.
Come on.
He had naked people be his plates at his birthday party.
They were eating sushi.
You have all these naked people.
What happens?
This is Kanye's birthday party.
I think last month they had these naked people laying on the table.
And fish tacos.
Yeah, and they had.
That's still going on?
Not real fish.
Kanye's birthday?
No, like people eating food off of people?
Yeah, he was just doing it.
That was a big Eddie Murphy thing.
So how does that work? You kind of walk in and, he was just doing it. That was a big Eddie Murphy thing. So how does that work?
You kind of walk in and there's
a nude. Yeah.
Naked person. Are they completely naked?
They probably are wearing some kind of cover-up.
They got a skin-toned
colored thong on.
No, no, no.
They're putting food on donks? They're setting sushi
rolls right on top of guys' nutsacks.
One on each.
Do people put their hands
on their back to eat it?
Dave Chappelle had somebody actually got a pube
in his mouth. Like a bobbin for apples.
Like a bobbin for apples. There's no way there's any
pubes on any... I thought they lay on their stomach.
I thought they lay on their stomach and they jam things
like through their butt cheeks. See, why do you
have to go so far? I believe they're waxed.
That was the rumor. That's only if they're having hot
dogs. They put them and they use their butt cheeks as the buns.
How come some of these rich people do such weird shit, though?
Hey, if I'm invited to somewhere and I walk in there, I'm probably pretty excited I'm getting invited to this person's event.
You know what I mean?
Very successful person inviting me to this event.
This is awesome.
You walk in there and there's just a bunch of naked people with fucking sushi on them.
Okay.
I'd be somewhere to fuck. What are we doing? And how do you get out of there? Can't get out of there. No. Can walk in there and there's just a bunch of naked people with fucking sushi on them. Okay. I'd be somewhere to find them.
What are we doing?
And how do you get out of there?
Can't get out of there.
No.
Can't get out of there.
You're stuck.
You are stuck.
You're allergic.
To fish, obviously.
Bingo.
I still got to look at these dongs with sushi all over them.
Yeah.
No, if you're around in the same room, you're deathly allergic.
Zito said that they're wearing underwear.
Oh, and this is it.
That's not what I saw.
Boobs are out, though.
That's not what I saw.
What's the deal, bro?
I don't think many guys...
Are there a whole lot of males that people eat sushi off of?
I haven't seen that as much as the females.
You tell me, dude.
Jesus.
Guys got to be rocked up for like eight hours
to put onion rings on it?
That's not bad. I think that's what happens
if they do get wrecked.
Bring in the onion rings. Sorry, the onion rings play it? Other what? That's not bad. I think that's what happens if they do get erect. It does look like...
Bring in the onion rings.
But outside of that...
Sorry, the onion rings
playing this game?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Gotta eat them quick, too.
It does look like
they put the spicy tuna
on the breasts.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Of course.
Well, that's a female.
We're talking about
the dongs that are out everywhere
in this guy's house
that I just got invited to
for the first time.
The eel ones or the dong ones.
How am I supposed to handle that?
What am I supposed to say?
I'm not eating it. I don't want to eat anything. I don't want to eat sushi off somebody. The eel ones or the dong ones. How am I supposed to handle that? What am I supposed to say? I'm not eating it.
I don't want to eat anything.
I don't want to eat sushi off somebody.
Of course not.
But I'm just saying, how do I get...
I like to think about me in situations.
Just because my natural reaction is a little bit more absurd than most people's at things.
And I also don't have a filter.
So from here to here, it's going to get out.
I don't know how it's going to be
dressed but it is it can't sit in there that's one of them that would certainly be something
you think there was what would you say i don't know that's what i'm trying to figure out yeah
you know i'd be excited to kind of see how i would kind of be cool to see how people navigate it like
watch people kind of circle well should i i guess it's rude if i don't eat right and they go down
and they go to grab one and someone slaps her.
Hey, this is just for looks, bud.
This is all part of it.
You're not supposed to eat this.
Hey, which sushi is the best?
Tit?
Stomach?
Leg?
Well, you got to try the nut sack sushi.
It is delicious.
I'm watching people just walk by and just casually grab sushi off of this fucking woman.
You're not even looking at it.
Don't the guys get on all fours a lot so they can put a lot on their back?
This ain't boring floor.
It's got a fence. That's dessert. It's also kind of weird. It's only $17.38 an hour. What was that? Don't the guys get on all floors a lot so they can put a lot on their back? This ain't boring floors.
That's dessert.
It's also kind of weird.
It's only $17.38 an hour.
What was that?
For the sushi models.
What was that?
$1,700?
No, $17 to $38.
Well, yeah, none of that matters because once the guests leave,
the esteemed members of the party
just eat the people that were laying on the table.
Let's go to the phones.
Cut them off.
It's a big cabal thing.
I know we're going to get somewhere.
Let's go to...
Cabali? A lot of people are dropping that word around that. Let's go to the phones. It's a big cabal thing. Let's go to...
Cabali?
A lot of people are dropping that word around that
all-white party was taking place.
Oh yeah, they probably ate somebody there.
What's your problem? I wonder who they ate.
Just standard procedure.
Bieber. Leave with a white...
He was having a good time. Dancing.
Let's go to the phones. A lot of powerful people
at that place. Yeah, a lot of red shirts leaving.
A lot of white shirts walking in.
Yeah, because they had a Red Bubbles festival where the bubbles had food coloring.
Yeah, like red velvet cake everywhere.
I'm not a big red velvet cake guy, by the way.
Isn't it chocolate?
Red velvet's like chocolate, right?
I decided.
guy, by the way. Isn't it chocolate?
Red Velvet's like chocolate, right?
I decided. You know, the other day my wife was watching that
Easy Cake with... Oh, yeah.
Good show. It is a good show. Not bad.
I got captivated for a good seven, eight minutes or whatever.
I did a whole thing.
I get it. I get what the show is.
My wife's mom, so my mother-in-law,
incredible cake maker.
Actual baker.
Artist. The whole thing.
Couldn't do it in the time that they try to do it.
But she would win that.
If she was to get on there, she could.
She's phenomenal.
So my wife, osmosis, through watching her mom do things,
is a great cook, great baker, great everything like that.
And I started thinking about the cakes.
You know that, what is it, like rainbow confetti? Confetti cake, yeah. I think thinking about the cake. You know that rainbow confetti
cake? I think that's my favorite.
Delicious. I think confetti cake
is my absolute favorite. Great ice cream too.
Is it? I don't know. What'd you say, Dirty?
You said something there? Funfetti.
Funfetti. Is that the...
What was the cake pops that you brought in here?
Those were just chocolate cake
and then I don't...
There's some hard icing on the –
My wife made them similar to Starbucks.
They were so dang moist.
Just unbelievable.
And the deliciousness just went on and on and on and on.
It was just sitting on my taste buds all day.
It wasn't fairytale land.
We were living in –
Reality.
The reality is.
The reality is.
Oh, shit. Yeah, I just – I'm so locked in on Parsons right now. The reality is. Oh, shit.
Yeah, I'm so locked in on Parsons right now.
I'm not even thinking about McGee.
It's summer, man.
It's summer.
Yeah, it's all right, dude.
You're right.
You know, I heard McGee went to Notre Dame one time.
Did you hear that?
Did he?
Yeah, he went up to Notre Dame,
and he had a conversation with a coach that they had up there,
and they talked about PXG golf clubs.
Did you know that?
I did not know that.
Yeah.
I thought you were there.
I thought you –
I could probably imagine what was said there.
How do you think that whole thing went when Ryan McGee talked to Coach Lou Holtz
about the PXG Golf Clubs that were kind of looking around?
Well, I think he probably started by saying, you know, Coach,
the reality is,
I'll look at your roster and it's just five-star after five-star after five-star.
Parsons probably came in and said, yeah, I mean, Coach,
the list just goes on and on and on and on.
I don't know how you get so many good players here.
And he said, well, it's because usually I go out to the golf course we have around here. You've got a couple of your great PXDIers and drivers.
And I put them in the hands of these great athletes.
And I say, if you can hit this golf ball a little in the fairway, well, guess what?
I've got a scholarship for you here.
Really?
That's exactly right.
And what did Ryan McGee say to that?
That is one of the most outstanding, you most outstanding kind of crazy things I've ever heard
in college football.
And the reality is they should never let you go.
People want to say Eric Parsegian is the best coach in the history of Notre Dame.
People want to say that Dan Devine is the best coach.
Well, then Bob Parsons came in and said.
He said, yeah, Charlie Weiss, Tyrone
Willingham. The list goes on
and on and on and on.
That's fun. I'm happy
we have that. That is fun.
That is a fun thing.
Let's have a great weekend. Let's get the fuck out of here.
I think we've taken this thing lower than we could have
ever done.
We've got a pretty big project still.
Today. Yeah. We got a pretty big project still. Oh, yeah?
Today.
Yeah.
We'll see.
What is it?
We'll see.
The best my hair's ever looked.
Oh, dude.
It's only going to get better.
Remember that.
That's right.
That's right.
Yeah.
You're only going to get better.
Duplicate and replicate, my friend.
Boom.
Bingo.
Getting better every day.
We got to shoot a video for a commercial.
Nice.
Time constraints.
Real tight.
Need to be good because we told the people
over there that were making the commercial,
we don't need you. You guys suck.
Wait, is strength and honor coming in here today?
That would have helped.
No, I do not believe there's any headshots
coming this time. Artie Fish is dead.
Should we call UAV and bring him in?
On? You call UAV and bring him in? On...
You said UAV?
He's thinking of Call of Duty.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, it shows you on the map where people are.
Yeah, where your enemies are at.
Jack, where are your enemies?
We just need to call command.
He's a friendly.
A UAV? What the fuck is it?
I think he was looking for unidentified aerial phenomena.
No, no. UAV all day.
What's UAV mean? What does it stand for?
Unmanned aerial vehicle.
Is that what you're talking about? We're going to get a drone
to fly in Jack Hart? Oh, yeah.
Speaking of, are we buying a flying car or not?
That was this week. Yeah.
That thing's super real. No, no, no.
It is super real, AJ.
Show the video. the video looks amazing
what do we get first the flying car or the cyber truck or the jetpack cyber truck cyber truck
actually has some out there yes does it i actually got an email i'd like to let the cyber truck and
this is another thing this is another thing elon okay you've been past the Hummer. Oh, yeah. Right? Yeah, too slow.
Yep.
I just hate how the Cybertruck looks.
Like, I wouldn't want to drive that thing.
But at one point, that was a part of it.
Like, look how shitty this thing looks.
Yeah.
Gotta get it.
Sure.
You know what I mean?
Full-proof windows.
It was one of the...
Very unique.
Very unique looking, yeah.
Yeah, I concur.
It told me three months.
When was that?
Two years ago?
No, it was three days ago.
Oh, really?
Has anyone got one yet?
Like, is there any randoms just driving up?
I've seen them in the street, yeah.
You have?
On Twitter, not like in Indiana.
Okay.
Okay.
That'll be the day.
I don't think that thing wants to touch my Hummer, though.
No.
I don't know.
And obviously, I'm saving the world with it.
Yeah.
Well, in your truck.
Yeah, you know.
His truck backwards.
Supposedly, it could pull two F-150s.
Mine or the Cybertruck?
The Cybertruck, supposedly.
So mine could pull four, then.
Yeah.
Not worried.
What's that, AJ?
Yeah, because your batteries are bigger, a lot bigger.
Why haven't you done the Sidewinder thing yet?
It's called the Crab Walk.
You prick.
Sidewinder.
What is this, some fucking Mickey Mouse?
Why won't you do it?
The Crab Walk?
That's the only reason that car is even there.
Why? Do it.
It's there to save the world.
On top of that...
Tell those kids they're digging up the batteries.
They're saving the world.
We don't have to tell them.
They're dead.
Good point, Con.

So, no, I'm not mad at all.
You gave me a chance.
Like, it was a very organic moment.
Well, why'd you go home?
I got the ball and you were on the ground.
Yeah.
So?
Went home and screamed at your wife.
Good luck.

Get the fuck down here.
You did this to me.
It was 3 a.m.
How'd you let this happen?
Because you wore that split jersey back.
Yep.
Let's go to the fence.
He did that a lot.
Let's go to Garrett in North Carolina.
Garrett, what's going on?
How's it going, boys?
Keep it moving.
Nailed it.
Nice.
All right, that question here for Talk to Table, Boston Connor.
You know, you guys were just talking about Tom Brady.
Let's talk about Bill Belichick.
Patriots are going downhill.
How long is he going to be coach now here until he's not considered for the
Hall of Fame?
I mean, you've got to respect him, but he's just hurting himself.
He's hurting his resume.
Oh, that's a Twitter question.
Hey, you're right, Derek.
I know.
We'll see what happens this year.
Make a break this year.
I mean, he had a 7-9 team when they kicked the can down the road,
and then they went back to the playoffs, and then they went 8-9 in a year.
Everyone acts like they won 7-10, but it's okay.
I fucking see you, Bill, right in between the numbers.
Holy shit.
Bill just threw a perfect spiral right here
while Connor was talking about Bill Belichick.
This one's for Bill.
I'm talking about
Bill in the streets right now.
Look for revenge Bill.
He doesn't even have to act like he wants to get home.
The amount of information
about him.
The amount of information.
Is Tony filled in on the story?
Has more come out?
He keeps tarps and duct tape and a tent in his fucking truck for God knows what reason.
You never know.
Sometimes if he has a good idea about football and defenses,
he has to pull over, sleep wherever he is that he has the idea.
What happened?
I did not hear this.
I heard information from you that you need not say publicly.
I will not.
Yeah, I'm going to keep that to myself.
Connor goes back to Massachusetts.
All of a sudden, he's got ears on the ground all over the place.
What Bill Belichick's up to?
He texts me this alleged story of what happened, Bill.
He's like, listen, I didn't say this, but numerous people are saying this.
So take this however you will.
Straight out of like a, hey, let's bury Bill Belichick.
Yes.
Pretty much.
What happened?
We're not going to talk about that.
What Connor heard.
But I don't know what you're talking about.
Where'd you see this?
So when there was a glare on the camera yesterday, Bill said, oh, I could run in my truck.
I got some duct tape and tarps.
Not Belichick.
Oh.
Yeah.
You're talking about this Bill.
I thought you were talking about Bill Belichick as well.
I didn't know.
Yeah, Bill did have a 12 foot by 12 foot tent that we could have put up yesterday as if
we were having a festival while Pac-Man was running.
And I like that we have that around.
Perfect.
The thing that we're worried about, he's got two actual glizzies in that bag.
A shovel.
He's got ninja stars.
A mobile murder room.
He has a butcher knife.
Yeah, that 12 by 12 tent is covered in blood splatter.
Oh, is that for like the rain and digging dirt?
Yeah, it's like a
mobile murder ring.
They can't be seen.
I've hit nothing.
Bill knows better
than to drive around with all that evidence though, right?
I think that's his confidence.
That's why he rolls with battery acid
because if he gets pulled over he'll just
take his fingertips off. You're not killing anybody, right? Thank you. Okay, so we're on the acid. Because if he gets pulled over, he'll just... Florex. You know. Take his fingertips off.
Bill, you're not killing anybody, right?
Not a lot.
Thank you.
Okay, so we're on the record.
He said he didn't do it.
He's just digging holes all weekend.
He's killing the camera game.
Oh, yeah.
He's got a new lens.
Hey, Bill.
New lens.
Digging holes all weekend for fun.
So one of the people he killed was leaving it around their house.
Not using this anymore.
Oh!
Let's go. Let's go. It's great we're ending this Feel Good Friday.
Hell yeah. All you gotta do is retweet this video and say
something nice to somebody. Have an incredible
weekend. You could be one of
15 people that win
$500. We can't
thank you enough for rocking with us every afternoon.
We are so incredibly lucky to do this
for a living. We love the shit out of you.
Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice. It might
change their life. Goodbye.
See you Monday.
