The opinions expressed on. this show do not necessarily reflect the. beliefs of their peers, their boss or. ESPN. There may be some cuss words. because that's how humans in the real. world talk. If you are a young, please.

Hey, let's go. >> This show stinks and the fact that you. listen, we are very, very thankful for. the line with a gorgeous assist. >> The alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers. >> You. stop. Damn it. >> Be a friend. Tell a friend something. nice could change their life.

[Applause]. [Music]. >> Hello, beautiful people. and welcome to. our humble abode, the Thunderdome on. this field Friday, August 15th, 2025. This program begins right now. Football. >> is amazing. There's games tonight, obviously, throughout the entire. weekend. We'll be chitchatting about the. preseason games and what we should. expect. Adam Shfter will join us later. in the hour. We can't wait to catch up. with him and break it all down. The.

talks are tables here at Boston Coner. and at Ty Schmidt. One half of the. hammer Cowboys AP Tone is here and also. Clark Hunt will be joining us in the. next hour. The owner next hour, the. owner of the Kansas City Chiefs. currently and uh they have the Kingdom. documentary series that's running on. ESPN. And I will tell you what, Lamar. Hunt. >> Okay. Clark Hunt's father. >> Mhm. >> This dude was a bad [ __ ]. This guy was brilliant. this guy uh.

basically laid down the groundwork for. what we know of football. And they're. telling that story all the way to. passing over, I assume, to Clark. becoming the ownership to them being a. storyried franchise that I don't think. any of us knew. Started in the AFL in. Dallas and then they moved to Kansas. City because of, you know, little little. bit of contract stuff with the NFL and. this this Hunt family has done a lot for. football. And I think that's what the. kingdom is kind of showcasing while also. putting a spotlight on the current. dynasty that's being built with goats at. every single position. It's a home run,

I think, from what we saw last night. We'll talk to Clark Hunt in the second. hour. Can't wait to catch up with him. But ladies and gentlemen, is our honor. on this Feelgood Friday. I think we we. don't say that lightly either. >> No, no, no, not at all. >> Not at all. >> You know, people come in here uh. whenever they're they try to fit into. their schedule when they're traveling. through Indianapolis, right? A lot of. people come and go through Indianapolis. Not everybody that comes through the. Thunderdome ends up on the show. You. know, some people show up at a time. where either we're not filming or. they're like, "Ah, let's just keep it. moving or whatever." Then there's some. people that like try to go out of their.

way to join us, especially if we put the. request in, which we certainly do. We. got a chance to catch up with country. music superstar. Country Music Superst. >> Yeah. >> Riley Green this morning. And we hung. out with him for about an hour before. this conversation. >> This dude's a real deal. >> Former quarterback at Jacksonville. State. And uh he walked right into the. locker room. it felt like and in his own. country ass way fit in beautifully. It. was a beautiful conversation. No better. way to start off uh start off this feel. good Friday. >> Your accent, your mustache, your look,

your vibe. I think everything about it. when you walk in, we think. >> that's [ __ ] country guy. >> You are also incredibly jocked. >> So jocked. Country music seemingly going. to be the endgame even though obviously. you were a great football player, great. athlete. Yeah, there's no going back to that. I'm. 36. It's. >> No, you never know. Tyler Chuck's 36. I'm beat up from. >> No, he's not. He's 27. >> Sorry about that. What' you say? He was. commenting about a Louisville. quarterback that got drafted in New.

Orleans Saints. He was a little bit old. >> I was number 36. >> You were number 36? >> No. >> No, but football was your thing though, right? Athletics was it. And then when. you stopped that, that's when he gave. him music or music. >> I was not a I would never say that I was. really musically talented. Like I never. thought there was nothing about me as a. kid like yep he's going to you know I. just uh I liked it. My granddaddy Buford. loved country music and he had a Buford. >> Shout out grandaddy Buford granddaddy. too just the whole everything he did. there. >> Uh just and he had like a he had a. little epohone guitar so when I go to.

his house we'd sit around and try to. play it. So that was how I got into like. liking country music and playing guitar. But I played football, baseball, basketball all the way through school. played a little football in college and. uh I think I started playing in bars cuz. girls liked it, thought it was cool. I. thought guitar was cool, you know. So, uh I'd played cover shows for probably. five or six years and then I just got. tired of playing the same songs over and. over again. So, I started writing songs. Somebody's like, "Man, I like this one. song you wrote. Go record it." So, I. went to some guy like Bob's Garage,

spent like a couple hundred bucks. recording a song. I played some on. everything. Had no producer, no manager, nothing like that. And it uh a couple of. songs really Georgia time man Dixie a. couple songs did really well. >> That was from that. >> Yeah. >> That moment there. >> Yeah. And uh started I remember I was. playing a local Mexican restaurant. called Local Mix. Played it every Friday. for like 5 years. >> Such great margaritas. >> The tacos. burritos the size of your [ __ ] head. And the guac. >> Oh my god. Let's not talk about the.

guac. >> Yeah. >> We've been there local. >> Yeah. That's the There's only one. Uh. and uh. >> should be 10. >> I was still doing construction work at. the time. So I was framing houses during. the week. I actually. >> This is post football. >> This is Yeah, this is I'm 25 years old, probably 200. 14, 15, something like that. And uh a. guy called me from Birmingham. It was a. venue called Iron City that held 1300. people. And I remember going and. watching Chris Stapleton play there. And. it was like empty. This is before he. really blew up. And I was like, man,

there's no way like nobody will be. there. Be empty. and he said, "Man, I. keep hearing your name. Come down here. and play it." And 1,300 people showed. up. I had no clue anybody knew how I was. in Birmingham. Was an hour from where I. grew up. And so I was like, "Oh, well, like there's something going on here.". And I didn't realize like I was getting. paid for streams. I was I had money in. an account on Touncor I didn't even know. about, you know, and uh. >> forgot the password for sure. >> Yeah. And I I had a buddy that worked. with Sam Hunt call me and because he. knew I did music and he said, "Man, uh, we got to offer to go open for Travis. Trip. We can't do it. I'm going to put.

your name in the hat." I was like, "Oh, that'd be great." And then he called me. back and said, "Man, you don't have. enough followers on Facebook." And I was. like, "I don't even really have. Facebook. I don't what's that got to do. with anything, you know?" So, and so. then I realized social media was a big. part of it and all that. So, I got all. that stuff. And. >> uh. >> you love that. I think just from talking. to you for like the last hour. >> It's great. I actually need to check my tick book. right now. Where's my phone at? >> Exactly. Actually, >> I I was I was very accidental in my. success to say all that. It was just I I. enjoyed playing. I thought it was cool.

I liked playing country music and uh. label started to come to shows and I. signed a record deal in 2018. >> What's your uh congratulations on all of. it by the way? >> That's really what I was wanting to get. out of all that. Congrat just a simple. congratulations. >> Congratulations. >> Holy [ __ ] Sounds like a construction. This guy was like a construction roof. >> from the bottom. You know, >> I'll start with Granddaddy Buford. >> Yeah, Granddaddy Buford did love a. little music. I think that is when it. started there. um your songwriting. process,

how do you go about doing it? I know. there's plenty of different ways. I've. gotten a chance now to learn about uh a. lot of the music world, country music. mostly uh because of the tie with. college game day. So, I think college. game day and college football very. synonymous with country music like I. think all of it kind of all comes. together every single weekend at least. in a big celebration, let alone the. tailgates, everything. Like it is kind. of all one world, but also it feels like. all you country musicians like sports. Feels like you're all big ball fans. because you grew up in the South and. that's kind of what you did. Yeah. But.

like learning about your guys and your. the way you go about operating is a very. cool thing. I want to let you know that. >> Well, I I think tradition is what I. think about when I think college. football. You know what I loved about. and I'm from Alabama. We don't have pro. teams. We were all Alabama or Auburn. And uh you know when you when you when I. hear Alabama, I think about Paul Bear. Bryant. You know like the the tradition. of certain things in Auburn was I. remember when I started liking Auburn, it was it was a tossup for me. My. family's Alabama fans. It was Freddy. Kitchens was at Alabama and I I I. remember they put him in the game. He. was a backup and they had one hailmary.

pass to try to win the game and whoever. the starter was, they took out and they. put Freddy Kinchins in cuz he could. throw it further and I thought that's. who I want to be. I want to be the guy. that can throw it further. and Auburn Auburn had Damen Craig and I. thought he was the coolest guy ever. So. I ended up being an Auburn fan. But. country music to me was tradition, you. know, like it's there's something in. there that storytelling that that. doesn't get lost no matter how much the. music genre changes with getting a. little poppy or trap beats or whatever. you want to call it. I just like the. storytelling of country music, you know. >> There are some trap beats,

you know, and some some people love. that, you know. >> Yeah. Oh, absolutely. >> I like to get Hey, I like to get in my. car and get trappy every once in a. while. >> Oh, I I can see that. I can see that. with you. Yeah. Go ahead and bob it on. the steering wheel, you know, doing it. all. >> Rapping forte. I I know what you're. talking about. >> Been there. Yeah. Actually, uh I got. this boar one time and then immediately. afterwards I was like, "Kill that boar. Want some more bon." Yeah, I I. understand that you are a rapper. That.

is kind of uh. >> do that all the time. >> Yeah, >> that's good. Uh. >> do you want me to Hey, listen. I I'm all. day. I'm all. >> trust me. I I can see it. >> Yeah. And you've heard it. I had a triple espresso, but it wasn't. enough. >> No, you don't get confused. >> There's another Somebody get this chair. out of the way. You don't need it. >> There's another altitude. Well, I'll get. uh tired. The legs will get tired. I'm. not as good a shape you. I will sit. down. But your songwriting process, you. talk about the storytelling. Where do. you find inspiration? What do you go do? Do you go disappear? Because I know. there's like some people that like go. deep into like uh I think like woods or. farms or things like that, like have.

cabins and like take a couple of the. boys out there, have like a weekend. Some people I think we saw Bieber go to. like Europe. Yeah. But obviously vastly. different. >> Taylor Swift. >> style music Taylor Swift disconnect is. is what that is. I feel like it's. probably the same for everybody. I. >> I don't know that I've written a song. the same way twice. I do know that I get. a lot of inspiration from Jacksonville. where where I'm from in Alabama. You. know, obviously spend a lot of time in. Nashville, but I don't have a lot. there's not a lot there that inspires. me. I don't really have a lot in common. with the big city. My whole family still.

lives in uh Jacksonville in my hometown. There's a store called Green Store right. down the road from my farm and my. granddaddies both used to go in the. morning at 5:30 and play dominoes with. the old men. I would get up. I hated. getting up in the morning, but I'd go. over there and sit with them for work. And I got a lot of titles from just what. old guys say sitting around, you know? I. mean, it's uh. >> they do say you smell like an. 80-year-old man, too, don't they? And. they're kind of the. >> When you said it like that, it sounds. off. >> I looked at it like I smell like your. grandpa. Like that's a comforting scent. Like safe.

>> You smell like an 80-year-old. That. doesn't sound good. >> Yeah, that's a Pittsburgh delivery first. place. You know, Alabama delivery there. I was saying it was a compliment. Granddaddy Buer smelled like this. That. is what I'm saying there. >> Yeah. I I wrote a song about my grande. Lyndon. It's called Hell of a Way to Go. And. >> Oh, yes. >> I remember sitting out at the store in. the morning. I was still doing. construction work and uh I was playing. on the weekends, you know, and them old. guys are sitting out there and they're. like, "Hey, man. I'm I need to get on. the bus and ride with you one weekend, you know, like it there's a lot of lot. of girls out there at the show and stuff. like that. You have a good time." I. said, "Well, yeah, it's pretty fun." I.

said, "But I don't you might have a. heart attack out there. You can't go. with me, old man." And you know how you. are with old guys. You always give them. hard time. We're back and forth, you. know. and uh he said, "Man, that'd be a. hell of a way to go." And I thought, "There's something there." And I didn't. write that song six till six years. later, but there's something in that, you know, you just those old sayings and. and the the mindset of those that. generation I find a lot of inspiration. in. >> And I think that's why people love you, brother. That's a generation that is. obviously revered and throwback in this. modern time is obviously appreciated. Go. ahead, Khan, man.

>> Yeah. So when it does come to making. your music and you've been with your. label since 2018 you said does it hard. is it hard rather if you fall into like. a lane like do you feel like you have to. make a certain style of music for your. fans? Is there part of you that wants to. make different music but you feel like. you can't because you might lose the fan. base you built with the songs that. you've already had? Like what is that. kind of thought when it comes to. actually making and writing the music? >> That's that's a really good question. I. feel like I'm probably the opposite of a. lot of folks because when I signed a.

record deal, I'd already had some. success and I had a brand, so to speak. I mean, I was the all shucks guy from. Alabama. I'm glad to be here. I ain't. ever been Nowhere kind of guy. Sure. >> And it was true. I didn't have to fake. it. >> But I feel like what people liked about. my music early on before it was ever. pushed, before it was on the radio or. anything like that, it was something. that was really simple. I think how I. say things is very simply. I don't over. think lines and I don't complicate it. and get songwritery and dance around try. to get cute. I just kind of tell a story. the way that you know I think I I could.

tell it and and I always thought there's. so many people that were better singers. than me, better performers that I'm the. only person that could tell a story from. my eyes. So I thought that was the only. thing I had to set me apart. And I. remember playing cover shows and you. know I went to Tootsies and played a. open mic. >> in Nashville. Not Tootsies in South. Florida. >> Yeah. was there was 30 people in line to. play after me that were all better than. me and I thought, okay, well, I've got. to figure something out, you know, and. maybe because I'm not all that musically. talented, I kind of stay in my lane, but. I also think if I did stray too far from.

what got me here, I'd lose some fans. I. would alienate the fans I already got. So, I. >> what I do is in small ways try to push. the envelope. I I've got a song called. Worse Way that was a really big hit for. me that came out on my last album and. it's a very like forward love song and I. don't write a lot of love songs but I. wrote it by myself and I and uh I just. remember sitting there thinking I was. like man I need to write something. that's a little more for the girls. I. write a lot of songs that have a lot of. >> anthemic type themes and and about home. and values and stuff and that one.

worked. So you know I still wrote it. It. was still me but in a small way it was a. little bit of me branching out. So I. think small steps is how to do it. Have. you seen the photo of you that we have. on this graphic? Uh, yeah. I think you. should write a song for the women maybe. every once in a while. Just a thought. >> And what you can't see in that photo. because pictures don't put it into. proportion. >> It's how good my legs look. >> Exactly. >> That's not what I say. >> You're in a big thigh thunderdome right. now, bud. Just so we have that all uh. >> No, I appreciate you cutting that off. >> What? Yeah.

>> Absolutely not. Sometimes they don't try. to make you look good. >> Yeah. So, >> it's amazing what AI will do. >> Hey, no, it's not AI. This is you, brother. And that's why we're working. there. When did you decide I'm going to. be the most jacked guy? >> When did you get when did you get me to. sign it? >> Uh, we stole that from you. >> Yeah. And we'll say it's real though for. sure. >> And man, I I'm like you. You when you. played ball as long as you did, you you. enjoy working out to a certain extent. You like being in shape. Then you start. to get a little older and you think, "Okay, well now I need to," you know, being on the road. I remember when I.

first got on a tour bus, I was still. kind of broke and we would go on tour. and I was out with Brad Paisley and he. had great catering. I felt like I need. to eat everything I can every meal. because. >> who knows? >> Yeah. This may end. And and then you get on the bus after a. show at 11:00 and there's three pizzas. stacked up or a pile of Chick-fil-A. nuggets is high and you know so and then. you you know you're drinking out on the. road and all that. So I started. realizing okay I got to take care of. myself a little bit. So I I've always. worked out for that purpose but you know. also I just feel like there's a lane in.

country music that ties really well with. like you're talking about with college. sports. Certainly that's a great fit. with the demographic of country music. So was hunting. I I've always loved. hunting. I grew up hunting and then you. know I realized that I got a lot of fans. from that. You know I'd be out at the. bar and some girl would come up and go. hey you're the guy that sings that song. and her boyfriend would go I saw you on. Real Tree Road Trips or what hosting a. hunting show. So I started thinking man. I I got more. >> I should have done more research. I did. not know you hosted hunting shows. I. should have led with that. I should% on. me. >> I don't mind telling you. I'm Rally by.

the way. I don't mind telling you. So, good to meet you. >> No, man. There's. >> Oh, jeez. >> Yeah, I'm like an onion. We're peeling. back layers here. Uh, I got a Where's my. sheet on Pat? I'm Look, I got some. questions for him, too. >> Oh, really? >> No, I I don't know. >> Interesting. >> Uh, >> that was unbelievable. >> Sorry. Uh, but no, I realized that. hunting was something that could help my. music career. And so, I started being. motivated to go hunt for a different. reason than just I enjoy doing it. And. working out for me was kind of like. that. You know, I there's a lot of.

opportunities. Obviously there's a lot. of fitness influencers and stuff out. there. I'm not trying to do that. But. there is a world where being in good. shape can help my music career. So I I. got motivated to try to work out and we. take a really nice trailer on the road. It's got a gym in it, >> you know. So. >> it feels like nowadays with modern. technology, you can do that. There's. been multiple guys that have come. through. Obviously Jelly Roll has lost. like 200 something pounds. >> Zack Brown we talked to about he has. gotten in great shape. >> I think Kenny Kenny has like a three. trailer operation where he's got the. cold tub, hot tub, and the gym. Tim. McGraw's.

popping up in rows, brother. What did. you say to me? >> When he when he with his bat cape. completely out there, when he rose from. the ground to go fight somebody in the. crowd, that was the moment where I was. like, "Hey, Tim McGrath is not [ __ ]. around. He is in that gym and he'll be. in your ass if you got a problem with. it." I kind of like that, you know? >> Yeah. I think I think he's one of those. guys, too, that that like gets after. working out. Like I I work out, >> but. >> you get after it,

>> but I'm I don't not like that. Like I'm. not like just screaming in his gym. >> He just told me he's doing triceps and. biceps uh blowout till max exertion. every night before bed. >> Okay. Well, >> okay. So, yeah. I don't know if. everybody's getting after. He says, "I. don't get after like those guys." He. does. Just want to let you know that. You're a dog, dude. You need to be. incred once. I mean, obviously, I'd know. the name. and coach Rod who we will. certainly get into talking about now. back at West Virginia was coach at. Jacksonville State where you are an. alum. You did not play for him but. obviously he's was living in your.

hometown and uh loved it down there in. this entire thing. He was introduc he. was talking about you for a while or. whatever and I started seeing clips of. you showing up and I'm like. >> what is that? Who the [ __ ] what is that. thing? What is that? He's incredibly. jocked out there. I think it's a good. angle, brother. And obviously if you can. look like that you uh you probably. should you know that's kind of God God. bless you there. And he's also 6'5, which you can't see that hurt. With his. cowboy boots on, you know, I don't know. 6'3, 63 and a half, 6'4, whatever. >> Probably. So, yeah.

>> Yeah. And then cowboy boots. 6'5. >> Just We were sitting down next to each. other. I didn't even And then he stood. up and I'm like, Jesus, you're a. basketball. >> Drink water. >> Still can't dunk. >> Your dog, dude. >> This is a fun show. >> Thank you. >> Just brag on me while I'm here waiting. on the other part. >> Never. >> No. Nice, man. >> I mean, again, we'll try to do a. giveaway. >> Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. There we go. >> And if you embarrass yourself during. that, there will be. >> Yes. Okay. Couple couple mortars. >> Ty has a question for you, Rob. >> So, kind of going off what Connor said. in ter like do you like where the. industry has kind of gone in the last.

couple years like you said, you know, a. little bit more poppy maybe and we see. all these people crossing over from. different genres and how difficult is it. to kind of maintain like the artistic. credibility that you want to have when. you also know like, well, if I did this. though and I don't want to say sold out, but you know what I'm saying. like do go. in that lane a little bit more like I. could have several massive radio hits. >> It's uh I was so fortunate that I had a. pretty decent following before I came to. town. If I hadn't if I had went to.

Nashville when I was in my early 20s, I. probably would have made a lot of bad. decisions because it is tough when. you're in that town to have blinders on. and not look at what everybody else is. doing, especially when they're being. successful and you're not, >> you know, and and I saw it a lot when. the pop country thing really started off. and was, you know, Sam Sam Hunt and FGL. and I had FGL records. I you know those. first records it was I'd never heard. that kind of thing before but then you. saw a lot of that stuff coming out and. everybody kind of had that same pop.

country thing and and they call it bro. country I guess but it's because people. go up there and you got an artist that's. talented or whatever and he doesn't have. success and he's going oh well I got to. write with these guys that are writing. with so and so. Well then you have the. same three people coming up with all the. songs for every artist in town and they. all start to sound the same. I was. really fortunate. I wrote all my songs. by myself early on. So I, you know, I at. least had something that was kind of. unique in my sound. And then, you know, I got to town and and started having a. little success and I realized I think. the best thing you can be right now is. different. And and yeah, there's a lot.

of crossovers, a lot of pop stuff coming. in country, but it's really just making. the country music genre bigger, which I. have seen. We went to Australia and had. three soldout shows down there. We did. the me and Morgan did the show in London. at Hide Park last year. was the biggest. country show they ever had. We're going. back to the UK. Uh all our shows over. there sold out within like hours. Like. so it's getting huge everywhere. I think. it has a lot to do with Yellowstone and. those shows and popularity. >> Well, he became a cowboy because. >> Western Lifestyles made it popular. everywhere. But but I think that it also.

leaves room for things that are. different than that to kind of stand. out. Zack Top's a great example. Mhm. >> I love that you can have a guy come on. the radio and you hear a song go that's. that's a tough thing to get where you. know who it is from the first note. You. know, there's so many guys that struggle. with having hits and you go, "Oh, I know. that song, but who sings it?" Could be. one of five people, you know? So, for. me, it doesn't really affect me all that. much as long as I keep going back to. that place in Alabama, that small town, and getting my inspiration from there. and not just trying to come up with. songs, you know, off of uh ideas that I.

see on the computer. Mhm. >> Yeah. But it's there's a chance that a. banger comes. >> he might like it. You never know. >> It's a good starting point. >> You talk about people becoming Cowboys. because of uh Kevin Cosner out there in. Montana. He was actually one of them. Got CO went into a cave uh for you know. the binged the proportion the proper. amount of time. >> Yep. >> It was the exact. >> 7 to 10 days. >> 17 days I think is what it which we.

learned. >> it was. We all know that that is 100%. the way it was supposed to be the whole. time and he wasn't allowed to see his. family or anybody. He was locked in a in. a cave literally in his house and he. watched that show the entire time and he. gambled. Uh he basically went through. like sports books and learned about all. the bets and history and stats and. everything. So we started a new gambling. podcast uh podcast called Hammer Don. You missed it. Hammer Don. >> Got it. >> Okay. >> No, he didn't. No, he didn't watch his. move. He didn't say it. He was lip. syncing. What are y'all saying?

>> Hammer down. >> Down. >> It's down. >> Down. When you're on a. >> Don't do it with an accent. What kind of. action is that? >> Pittsburgh. >> Dine. Okay. Dine. >> Nailed it. Pretty good. >> Maybe you should launch that artist, >> the Pittsburgh artist. And that's where. you have like a two G Brooks. thing. Then he could do the with the. Pittsburgh accent. >> But nonetheless, he became a cowboy and. a gambling show host because of co. Nobody talks about that. He went from. being a Pittsburgh guy the best.

>> to an actual cowboy. It's amazing. >> Thank you. >> It is. >> Thank you. I needed that. Uh but you uh. you talked about signing with a label in. 2018. That's you know that's huge for. the career. But did you feel like you. really made it when you got a bar in. Nashville? Like after playing in. Nashville at those bars like having a. bar in Nashville. I feel like that's. when you finally made it as a country. >> musician. I I don't even know that I was. there yet when that happened. But I mean. what's so cool about it is it's not on. Broadway. It's not over there with all. the other artist on bars and and it was. full circle for me because Losers and.

Winners is where I spent all my time and. everybody I met in town. Every artist, every songwriter was in that building. I. don't I don't know a lot of artists that. go to Broadway that go downtown. I mean, it's kind of a mayhem down there. So. touristy. So it was cool that it's in a. local hangout like that. And there was. Whiskey Jam used to be in the same. building where the Duck Blind is now. So. I've got a bar where guys come in there. and get their start kind of the same way. I did. It's really cool to go in there. and and I can't get thrown out of that. bar. There's one bar in town that they. cannot throw me out of. >> It feels like that place is a bar that.

>> you want to go to. Just as somebody. that's been there a few times. Uh the. ice cream first of all, fantastic. Nobody's going to talk about it. >> Yeah. I I've got to say this. We I was. with my partner that owns a bar and. >> Steve Dog legend. >> He told me he wanted to put a ice cream. bar in there and I'm like, "Yeah, that's. cool." You know, I'm like, "Nob's going. to eat ice cream at the bar, you know.". And then I don't know where we were, but. you and Ern facetimed. Yeah. >> And uh and that's all they talked about. They were like, "This this ice cream. man, whatever." And then I was like,

"Y'all y'all had some ice cream today?". No, no. We had ice cream today while we. were at the bar. We left, came back up. to the bar just to get some more ice. cream. And I was like, "Okay." This. whole time I've been wondering who is. going to get ice cream. And I was like, "That's. >> the home demo." No, it is a great. >> Everybody likes it. Honestly, I've heard. that. Everybody likes It is a nice. little pickme up because you think to. yourself, "Holy [ __ ] it's cookies and. cream ice cream here.". >> Yeah, I will. I'll I'll take some of. that. But that is cool to have because I. think getting that uh that bar, I think. there is a lot of conversation about.

who's allowed to get a bar, who's not. allowed to get a bar. A lot of respect. for you amongst your peers. I think that. has to be a pretty sweet thing. >> Yeah, man. It's a cool It's a very. validating thing. And there's been a lot. of that stuff in my career. You know, playing country music is a grind like. anything else. I had a lot of guys that. uh played played professional baseball. about the same time I kind of had my. career take off. And I remember having. conversations with them and kind of. seeing the similarities because there is. such a battle to stay relevant. You. know, if you're 28 years old and Major. League Baseball and there's a guy that's.

coming out of school and he's 22 and. he's as good as you, you know, that's. kind of it for you, you know, and. there's so much now with Tik Tok and all. these ways that these guy I mean. overnight these guys can kind of have. somewhat of a career. So knowing that, I. think the thing that keeps you. motivated, even when things can get a. little monotonous, because I tell people. all the time, we play the same songs. every night, you know, and 120 plus. shows a year, is when you have those. moments where you're like, "Okay, something's working. People are buying. in." Whether it's a bar, getting to play. Red Rocks or, you know, having a tour.

sell out or whatever it is, awards, it. it's just those things keep you keep you. going, you know, and it's like having. success in a ball club, you know? I think it's an impossible thing to do. that music world. Oh yeah. Especially. after hanging out down there a little. bit. >> So many people. >> Well, you know, so many talent. But I. mean, >> so many everybody so many people. >> There's a lot of great great athletes, too, though. >> You know, no shortage of great ball. players. What what I figured out from my. little stint of playing and uh you. remember Kevin Green? >> Oh. Oh, KG. Rest in peace, brother. Saw.

sustain. >> Oxford, Alabama, right down the road. from me. and uh he came and spoke to us. a couple of times and and he said. something that was interesting. He was. talking about ball players being in the. NFL and he said the difference in a. great player is from the neck up and I. you know when you're when you're playing. you hear stuff like that from somebody. you go when it comes to Kevin Green it's. a little different. >> Yeah. >> But there's a lot of that in the music. industry. You can kind of be as. successful as you want to. Yeah. You got. to have some breaks. You got to have a. little bit of talent. You got to get. with the right people. Surround yourself. with a good team. But.

like with me, when when I'm not on the. road, I feel like I need to be writing, you know? And if I'm not riding, I feel. like I need to be in the gym. Or if I'm. not in the gym and it's hunting season, I need to be in the woods somewhere. because that stuff is working for me. It's all helped. >> That's football for sure. Don't you. think? >> Yeah. >> I I think that is all like for me, I. think football has helped me immensely. in this world%. >> It's like not only like work ethic and. when you're tired, you still got to do. stuff. and working as a team, having. other people do stuff and kind of. relying on I mean like I think sports.

are the greatest thing of all. I I think. everybody should play team sports. >> There's an there's an accountability. that I didn't have at 18 years old when. I got out of high school. Everybody's. making you go to class, they're making. you do this. And then when I got to. college and you know, they kind of say. be here at this time and if you're not, we're not going to wait on you. You. know, and I mean I wasn't good enough. they were going to stop practice for me. So, uh, I learned a lot from my little. stint playing ball, but it I I have to. assume that that's rolled over into my. music career because I've I'm motivated. to to have the biggest career I can for.

the fact that I know I've got an. opportunity, you know? >> Yeah. Oh, [Music]. [ __ ]. >> I think we're all still amazed. >> You should write a song about football. back in the day. >> That'd be sweet. >> I might We might have had one there. right there for you. We might We might. have literally just. >> Oh, football we play. >> way. But it's not You don't just talk,

Riley. You're a [ __ ] singer. You got. to add a little football we play. way back in the day. >> Yeah. And then I'll jump in. >> Okay. >> Oh, you're so [ __ ] jacked. >> I think we're all still amazed. >> I wish I had a Dr. Pepper. >> Don't we all, brother? Don't we all? Uh.

You were right. >> Bad boys is hard. >> That's not what we were talking about. We were talking about. >> Okay. Okay. You're incredibly jacked. I. don't know how easy it is going to be to. throw a football or anything like that. as we start lifting. Connor can attest. to this obvious course as we get after. it. It's hard to do, you know.

but that's. >> Are those ostrich? >> No, we don't need a Tom Seagura. situation in them boots. Good point. I I. need a Tom Seager situation. >> I'm with Riley. You're on with Riley. >> That was Riley. But if I were to see. that in person, my life would be. fulfilled. >> I don't need him breaking that right. arm. I need you throwing footballs that. hard for the rest of your life. >> Forever. Fire that pigkin boy. Hey, Riley said I will. >> You were told that. Maybe that's a song.

His hand's got. to touch the ring. >> Right there. >> His hand didn't touch the ring. >> He threw it down. >> He said one more. >> One more. I need another one. He said,

"Excuse me. Let me go ahead and get up. there and get this thing. Let me wreck a. rim. >> Oh yeah. >> 30 people athlete. >> $500 because Riley Green still an. athlete now. We don't know how this is. going to carry. Yeah, that would add a. lot of explosion. I don't know how often. you're doing that. You're incredibly. jacked and you're incredibly talented. We appreciate you. That's Riley Green, ladies and gentlemen. >> Riley's a legend. Obviously, this is a. sports show. He was a college football. player. Got to keep in touch. Obviously, he's performing at a golf tournament. today. He That's a lot of sports stuff. And he was awesome. you need to know off.

air he was just as awesome as he was on. air and uh we're pulling for him hard as. we continue to go. Now what happened. while we were talking to him and while. that ran well we have now learned of. what the Michigan sanctions are going to. be from the NCAA final from the Connor. Shall situation. Joining us now ladies. and gentlemen is a man who's been on the. case literally since the beginning. almost uh too much on the case that. people told him hey it seems to be a. little bit of a work. Ladies and. gentlemen, the authority on college. football and college basketball from. college game day, Pete Tamill.

>> Yeah. >> How you doing, Pete? I know you were. catching the tail end of that. Did you. think Riley Green was going to be able. to dunk that second one or No, >> I thought he had no chance, Pat. I. thought he had no chance. >> As did we. To be clear, very much cuz. he's very jocked. You think he'd be a. little bit too stiff? He said he worked. under the hoop. That was kind of his. thing. New album, August 29th. Now, Thma, let's get to this. Whenever we. heard the NCAA was going to announce. their punishment for the Michigan. infractions, we wondered which one it. was. Then he came in and said, "Well,

this is the Conor Stallion stuff." This. is the last of the Connor Stallions. investigation and basically it's a money. game in a money play and Chiron Moore's. uh suspended one more game and it's the. opener for 2026. Did I miss anything in. there? And can you break it down for us. a little bit? >> Sure, Pat. So, it's going to end up. being an unprecedented monetary cost for. for Michigan in this. I did some back of. the napkin math. It's going to be, I. would say, easily over $30 million. The. 2-year postseason uh fine of what they.

would get for the post Michigan would. normally get from the postseason. That. number is a little bit nebulous just. because of uh some of the vagaries, the. CFP money and such, but that number is. expected to be well over 20 million. There's an additional uh $7 million 10%. of the uh football budget fine and then. a couple other fines. I won't bore you. with the details. So, it's going to be a. significant amount of money, but that's. that's the main stick in this. Shiron. Moore had self-imposed a twoame. suspension this year, which will still. be served game three and game four.

There's an additional game for him in. 2026. Michigan oddly opens the season in. Germany against Western Michigan. Um, Moore still has the option of whether or. not to appeal that singular game. suspension for 2026. So, we'll see if he. ends up doing that or not in the uh in. the upcoming weeks. And then Connor. Stallions himself, Tai's personal hero, he has a 8-year show cause to him, which. is essentially a employment ban. So,

Connor Stallions, it's highly unlikely. we will see him uh on the sideline or on. some watching someone else's sideline. Okay, for the next eight years, >> one final one. One final one in there, Pete. Take advantage. Take the lap. You. got to do. >> Jim Harbaugh, somewhat amusingly, has a. 10-year show cause, which is inordinate. length for one of these NCA penalties. He obviously is the coach of the. Chargers and doesn't really care. You. would probably be amused that is. actually a 14-year show cause this. 10-year show cause starts in 2028. He.

has a four-year show cause from one of. the prior Michigan NCA investigations. So, I think that'll that would keep Jim. until 2038 off of uh off of the. collegiate sidelines, but that probably. matters as much as uh me being banned. from the Cathedral High School parking. lot at this point. >> Well, I hope you're not banned from any. high schools parking lots just going. forward. >> That's where I went to high school, Pat. So, >> okay. Well, shout out to Cathedral and. uh shout out to you being a great grad. of Cathedral and really breaking this.

all down for us. Uh so, basically, it's. money. Why would they suspend Chiron. Moore in 2026 and not add another game. to this particular season? And is there. any punishment on the team? I saw the. 10% uh of the revenue thing which off of. 77 billion or or whatever 77 million. would go down to 7 million which you. address there. Does that carry over into. next year or or are they completely. clean basically other than money? Like. is there a loss of scholarship? Is there. uh anything that they can't do. prohibited from football-wise? some.

recruiting restrictions, but like that. stuff doesn't matter as much anymore in. the uh in the NIL era. Just I think it's. official official visit. So, as far as. the Michigan team, uh I think there's. two big picture takeaways here, Pat. Uh. one is that there was no postseason ban. in this despite, you know, being being. significant findings. And I think we. we've officially essentially ended the. era of the postseason ban um that the. NCA would would give out. And within the. 74page ruling that the NCA had, they.

kind of explained why it happened. And. and what they're doing is they're. essentially taking the money from. postseason as opposed to the postseason. ban. This is a paradigm shift. But also. dovtailing into that, Pat, this is. really the last great NCAA case. Uh the. College Sports Commission is now going. to investigate things that you know if. there's vagaries and NIL deals and and. such, but this is really the last. explosive. significant NCA infractions case. NCA. will still oversee some gambling stuff. They're going to have their hands in a.

few eligibility things. So, I'm not. going to say we're never going to talk. about the NCA making a decision again, but just in terms of NCA enforcement. investigating something, you know, significant and holistic like this, this. is there's a very good chance this is. the last big NCA case. And we've seen. these for decades. >> Okay, let's dance on that grave for. sure. Thank God they're done. Jesus, >> thank God. >> I mean, they had a little bit of a. terror run there for a while. >> Long time. >> Picking and choosing burgers and this. and you want to go back home. We let.

these other people do it, but you can't. do it. Just kind of showcasing a power, wielding this heavy sword, if you will, cuz they were the ones in charge of. everything. Now, I assume it's a lot of. work doing all the investigating. There's a lot of lawyers. I get it. It's. not easy to do anything, but I believe. you described or in an interview with. you, uh, Charlie Baker described it as. quagmire, you know, and you actually. used the word, I believe, quagmire. Uh, you've you've previously said that this. was a bit of a quagmire before you got. here. Would you like to elaborate on. that? And I was like, well, that's a. great word. And then he said it was a.

quackmar and you guys didn't know the. NCAA finding its new lane. Whatever it. is, is good for sports. Hell of a run in. the investigating. >> Great job. Kind of. >> Now on that note, they they couldn't. help themselves. They had to do one last. NCAA thing. They said, "You know what? We're going to suspend them next season, so I have to talk about it again next. year." What can you answer that? Why is. >> I believe that it's a timing issue. because of the timing of when this is. coming down. they are they are moving it.

to next season. I don't think that the. the self-imposed game three and four was. what Michigan and Chiron proposed to. them and then this is an additional. penalty and I believe the timing of it. being pushed next year is just simply. because where we are right now but I. don't have a I don't have a clear linear. answer on that and I don't think one is. in the in the materials at least from. what uh from what I've seen but it is. you know it is a little strange I I mean. that that's certainly uh these these. things are never easy. Sean Moore saying. guten hog. He used to he had German.

classes lined up. Now he can't go to the. game against Western Michigan next year. That's a real I saw Portoy obviously a. very distinguished alumni of Michigan. He had a cigar lit pretty good sitting. down in a very luxurious place it. appeared and he was saying 20 million. bucks that's ashtray money for us. What. are we even talking about here? That's. real. Michigan has so many very very. very wealthy. What is their uh Dow or. whatever. >> the endowment had I think 17.5 billion. >> billion dollar or something like that.

You got Bentleys and Rolls-Royces in. front yards up there in in the. university. So, it's like it being a. money situation mostly for that school. They're probably saying, "All right, let's move." And I think we're all doing. that with this, right? We're all just. moving on now. It's uh seems like it. >> And the 10-year show cause 14ear I guess. in total show cause for Jim Harbaugh. I. think we read uh Nicole Hourback tweet. that's basically like show cause means. if you were to get hired back in they. would have to pitch basically for you to. be able to get your job uh at that place.

to like the NCAA they would have to make. a ruling on it at the time and then also. if he was come back I think she said he. would be suspended for like a year or. something like that which seems like a. lot when he's already been suspended. what like four or five games so that' be. a year and five games 10ear show cause. feels like that's heavy on Horbal is. that because he's just been. non-compliant in this entire thing or. What is that, you think? >> Yeah, I think it's a a confluence of. things, Pat. Remember, he started that. 2023 championship season, self-imposed. three-game suspension for the recruiting.

violations. He served the three-game Big. 10 sportsmanship suspension at the end. of the 2023 regular season before they. went and won the title, tied to the. Stallions case. And uh uh he was not. generally cooperative in this. So, I. think this is uh this is the two parties. agreeing that they'll never meet again. >> Hey, good to see you. Can we see your. phone? Come on. >> No. Who are you? You guys the FBI. See. you. >> Oh, the NCAA. We gave up everything. We talked to you.

>> Put it there. >> High five. Out of here. >> I'll see you. That's unbelievable. I'm. happy it's all over. Legit. And I'm. happy they didn't have to vacate a. national championship. I'm happy, you. know, just strictly, and I know Ohio. State fans are probably thinking the. complete opposite. I know there's. probably some people that are wishing. they did have to vacate some things, but. it's like there's no way the players. knew that all this was happening at the. same time or whatever was happening and. it's like they still had to go execute. And uh congrats to Michigan, I guess, moving on and all of college football. And and on that note, we got a couple. more college ball questions for you,

Pete, if that's cool. >> Yeah, >> sir. Go. >> Big money coming to a school that I. don't think a lot of us expected. >> Pete, uh Kansas David Booth, uh. basically a legend, I'm sure before and. now. I believe his name is on the. stadium. He donates $300 million to. Kansas. Uh assuming this is going to all. of their sports, should we expect, you. know, Swagu Jr. to be a Kansas J-Hawk in. 2027 for his freshman year, the number. one basketball player in 2027? Do you. think all that money is going to make.

Kansas unbelievable at sports? Should I. bet on Kansas to win uh, you know, a. college football playoff national. championship in 2030? Uh, what is this. 300 million going to be used for? Uh, great question, Connor. And, uh, I. don't think I've ever seen a school, uh, shift like Kansas has had and go so. hardcore in investing in football as it. has in the past, I would say, four or. five years under athletic director. Travis Goff. Uh, a majority of that. money is going to go towards the stadium.

that you see in the picture here on. there, David Booth Memorial Stadium. Not. surprisingly, Kansas didn't play home. football games in Lawrence last year. If. you remember, they played some in. Arrowhead. They played at the NLS. stadium in Kansas City because they were. amid the uh the multihundreds of. millions dollars refurbishment of of. Booth Stadium. So, this is part of this. is going to go towards phase two of this. project um that is named obviously after. uh after David Booth, but you can't give. Kansas administrators enough to to. getting there a few years ago realizing.

if we don't have vibrant big-time. football, our whole athletic department. could get left behind in this new era. which is so football forward. Obviously, Kansas has had unbelievable basketball, you know, since James Naymith was there, right? Bill Self has had a run of. dominance there that's uh, you know, generally the consistency has been. unprecedented in uh in modern times. But. Kansas sat back and said, "Look, if. we're not good in football, the. basketball stuff is going to get really. hard." And so they went and hired Lance. Light. He's done a great job. They were. dismal for an extended period of time. after Mark Manino and before Lance.

Light. You remember the Charlie Weiss. era? Uh, I mean, they were just they. were they were the laughingstock of. college football. And this is another. sign that they are contenders. Again, Pat, you remember the energy that was. there when we were there for game day a. couple years ago. Uh, and you can you. can feel the momentum growing. Jaylen. Daniels obviously has his last season of. eligibility this year. They should be. good again. Um, I don't know if they're. going to be at the top of the Big 12. They should be another very good. competitive program again, which is. giant progress for Kansas football. >> Yeah. And if they got that type of money. investment now, we assume that's going.

to continue. And I think that's what. they were telling us when we were out. there for college game day. It's like, hey, we this school is backing us right. now. actually our our alumni backing us. and we thought they were kind of bullsh. I think I thought they were kind of. bullshitting you know and then all of a. sudden they start building building. quickly rapidly and they're winning. games it's like wait a second you can if. you have a supportive alumni you can. turn some things around especially in. this modern era and shut I think it was. the bell tower the clock tower company. >> is it car. >> yeah the uh I remember we did it was a. super pa name of the bell tower that.

campus was awesome they're giving away. beers I think at one of those places uh. >> wagon wheel. Maybe the wagon wheel. >> They were very that that place was. alive. I I was. >> TCU, right? That's when TCU went to the. national championship, too. >> Yeah. And that's when they walked by us. That was when that was the first time. that TCU team walked by and I said, my. first reaction was, "Holy hell, these. dudes are gigantic." They they were so. so tall. It's like being on the field. Obviously, you see that, but that Kansas. team had that run. Now, they got money. behind them. Why not keep it rolling?

Uh, speaking of money behind them, last. question here for you, Pete. Actually, two more. I'm sorry. Go ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, Pete. Uh, speaking of the money, the we we've seen basically what Texas. Tech is doing with their entire athletic. department, and now they're kind of like. the hot pick to click like, hey, this. team could potentially win the Big 12. this year. Uh, is that going to do we. expect Texas Tech to be one of these. teams over the next however many years. to be a major player in the uh Big 12? And do they have a realistic shot of. winning the Big 12 this year? You think?

>> I'll start with the second question, Ty. I think they have a realistic shot of. winning the Big 12. I don't think. they're the favorite, but look, if I had. told you at this time last year Arizona. State was going to be the Big 12, you. would have you would have thrown me off. the air and, you know, thrown some. spelling salts under my nose to make. sure I was okay. Uh, the Big 12 is a. wide open league. They went out and. spent a gargantuan amount of money in. the NCA transfer portal and brought in. offensive line, defensive line, skill. positions, and now in the recruiting. space, they're significantly investing. And look, college sports have changed.

It used to be stadium size. It used to. be weight room. It used to be, you know, those types of budgetary numbers. Now. it's what you can pay players. And Texas. Tech clearly through Cody Campbell, their billionaire donor, has a. competitive advantage in that space. I. think they're very good this year. I'm. not ready to call them Big 12 champion, but they have announced themselves as. relevant and contenders in that league. as long as those finances follow. >> We know who's running the Big 12 and we. have massive respect for everybody else. down there. Little money, you know, we. we know who's running the Big 12. You.

know who it is, authority. You know what. it is. >> Those Cyclones, man. >> Yeah. >> You know, >> you want to hear a good West Virginia. nugget? >> Oh, so you didn't know who I was talking. about. There we go. >> Yes. >> I I got a great West Virginia nugget. Yes. >> Little hard edge nugget. Okay, let's get. that. >> Search it. >> Yes. So, what Rich Rod, your your your. former coach and friend, is a maestro of. Tempo, correct? >> Oh, yeah. >> Like that is that is one of his things. He's one of the godfathers of Tempo. really and everything. So, I was told. reliably, Pat, that they will now bring. eight ball boys on the road with them.

this year just to get the ball in. quicker because four wasn't enough for. Rich. >> Well, I think if you have the right. four, four is enough. I think what Rich. saw was uh Yeah, we got to turn over a. lot of things around here. Okay. And if. you saw what happened at practice the. other day, that would be that. department. So, if you saw Yeah, that. that right there. You're talking about. ball boy. That's equipment manager in. the stripes there. He uh he didn't spot. the ball accurately. I think he's. probably on the hot seat if I had to. guess. That that guy's got eyes on the. because Rich Rod said, "Hey, we need.

competition everywhere.". >> Ball boys. Yep. You're talking every. single part. You talk trainers, we're. talking nutritionists, chefs, >> we're talking everything. Everything in. the building, we need some competition. because boy, how was running here before. I got here? A little bit different, a. little softer. Now, we're going to try. to be the hardest program in all of. United States of America football. And. uh I'll tell you what, if you're tough, West Virginia's place for you. We're. gonna find you. But I'll tell you what, Arizona State, BYU, I mean, there is you. start going through the Big 12, all of a. sudden it's like, wait a minute, that is.

actually a real conference, even though. nobody talks about it because the SEC in. the Big 10 run everything. And for good. reason. Look at all the national. championships. That's where they're. coming from. But everybody with money. has a real opportunity. And I know some. people hate it, but if you're a school. that has it, like Texas Tech, you got to. love it. Kansas, you got to love it. Even in West Virginia, weren't enjoying. kind of a little rebirth there. Tone has. the last question for you, Pete. >> Yeah, I do. Pete, I asked you about. quarterback competitions yesterday. Uh, one that everyone said I left out was. the Oregon one. I had a I I thought that.

Dante Moore was most likely going to be. the starter there. Is that the case that. you're hearing as well? >> I think that's that's the expectation uh. right now, Tone, as you uh as as you. look at uh as you look at Oregon, he's. obviously been in the program. They hit. him a lot of money to be the backup last. year, but it it wouldn't surprise me if. we do see some real snaps from Austin. Novasad this year. You know, really. talented young guy coming in. Um, but. yeah, I would think that uh I would. think that Dante Moore is is ahead there. right now. And uh but you know, I I.

don't know if it's if it's just a hammer. lock on the job. >> Oh, a hammer lock job. Yeah. Lock it. down. Yeah, I got you. I I understand. completely. Uh Pete, we appreciate you. We'll see you on the road here soon. Way. to really be at the beginning of this. story. Yep. >> And now at the end of it. Way to way to. really journalistic the [ __ ] out of this. during. >> a couple book ends. >> Yeah. You are the Pete book end. Connor. Stallion story has ended. Yeah. >> What new story will begin? How about the. greatest college football season of all. time? >> We're very close. Pete, you're the man.

Have a good one, brother. >> Like Connor, I'm going to throw my phone. in the pond now. We could call it a day. >> Hell yeah. >> Love that. Ladies and gentlemen, Pete. >> Yet. on a plane and go somewhere, too. You. know? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. should definitely go enjoy himself. a little bit. >> Dude, >> the calluses that he has had to build. through this story. >> I mean, you almost had to put him in. >> Yeah. gear. >> Yeah. I want. >> remember when I was. >> All right, we can talk about it now. So, whenever the whole we went to Michigan. after Pete Daml has already broke this.

story situation was happening, you know, and Desmond talked his [ __ ] Desmond is. a Michigan guy. A lot of people got like. Dez just he's representing Michigan. Like I don't know. I I think the. internet reacted in a way and I think. Dez obviously understood what Pete was. going through. I I mean it was just I. don't think there was any real he behind. the scenes. A lot of people were talking. about it and I would like to let. everybody know Pete and Dez are two. people that I very much en like I very. much enjoy these people and I'm very. appreciative of them. So trying to. figure out how they're going to handle. because they thought Michigan people. were going to potentially be a little.

towards beat. Yeah. Yeah, cuz the show. that was being said on the internet. towards beat was like very very very. serious like uh you know it's college. ball and these are Colts and you're. attacking their cult and uh yeah we. think you're lying and you're being paid. by Ryan Day. I mean he was called. everything let alone he needs to die and. everything like that. >> So we I don't think understood the. severity of what was happening. We. should have understood what the severity. was happening and we came up with an. idea. He needs to be in war media regard. >> correspondent. We're talking helmet.

>> thing. right across the street and we need to. drop him right in the middle of this. thing. Yep. >> And everybody was like we we uh we're. going to think about ideas or whatever. Like we got the idea. This is what. >> Yeah. I just told you this is the idea. Be awesome. There's no there's no this. is And then they were like you you. should go look at what's being said to. me right now. I was like oh we should. not keep it. You should be away from. there should be a little safety I guess. Yeah. Smart play. Smart play. Although. if he would. >> if he would have had that helmet crooked. with the media thing, >> Connor Stallion great, >> it would have been incredible. >> It would have been the greatest moment.

of all time. But I think with those. college fans, you do have to worry that, you know, a little early in the morning, maybe very late in the night actually. >> Yeah, I was going to say a couple. cocktails, >> couple bottles get thrown, >> especially with what we saw Bruce do to. Pete, you know, true. And that was after. the national championship. >> But no one was also talking about Pete. Thamill, you know, someone swinging on. him and him just like and then, you. know, karate chopping some guy in the. throat and incapacitating him. Yeah, he. looked a little James Bondie with those. glasses. That's why I put mine on. I was. like, "Holy [ __ ] that's a good look.". >> Next hour we got Clark Hunt and AJ Hawk. Be a friend. Tell a friend something.

nice. It might change their life. We're. in this thing together. Never forget it. We'll see you on the other side. [Music]. >> Belle Sessions, who got here at 3:00. a.m. this morning, was the winner. Her. ticket was pulled. And you thought to. yourself immediately, "What?" Belle, >> I knew I couldn't do it. And he was next. to me and he said that he could. So, we're splitting it. >> Okay. So, Bill Sessions made the. decision to talk to my man Henry Silver, who been the. >> Henry got here yesterday at 6:00 p.m.

He's been waiting for this moment. Now, Henry, you told her that you could make. it. Why do you think that's the case? Have you ever kicked a ball before? >> I've kicked the ball before. I've played. soccer my whole life. I think I can do. it. [Applause]. >> This kick is for 150,000. You said you. would split it in half, right? Yes, sir. >> Okay. So, let's make it 200,000. If you. make it, you will both get 100,000. Where are you from, Henry? >> I'm from Fisers, Indiana.

>> Who's your favorite NFL team? >> The Colts. >> Hell yeah, dude. Hell yeah. Come on, bro. Hell yeah. To hell with the. Falcons. Uh, that that was rude. They. didn't deserve that. I like that. Henry, 33 yards. 100,000 for you. 100,000 for. her. $200,000 to hurricane relief. 400,000 on the line. Henry, are you. ready? >> Of course. >> Have you ever said anything bad about. kickers? >> Of course. >> Shut up. Let's go. Now, here in Athens, Georgia, it would be beautiful if. $400,000 would be up for grabs. Why.

don't we double it because the Georgia. Bulldogs. >> So, eight $800,000 kick right here, Henry. But what I want to let you know is. you're not getting a second opportunity. I don't care if this entire place starts. chanting for a second kick. One kick, 800,000 racks, 400,000 to Hurricane. Relief. 400,000 to you two split 200. grand each. Henry Silver from Indiana.

from Bell Sessions. [Applause]. >> Let's go, Henry. [Music]. Oh my. [Applause]. >> coming. right down the middle. Let me see this.

That was amazing. >> I mean, he walked in like Henry. Henry, >> Congratulations, Henry. Congratulations, Bill. Congratulations, Georgia. What a. morning. College game day is the. greatest. College football's amazing. Bill, you just won $200,000. You're a genius.

You. stop. Damn it. >> Be a friend. Tell a friend something. nice could change their life. [Music]. Hello beautiful people and welcome back.

to our humble abode. The Thunderdome on. this glorious feelgood Friday, August. 15, 2025. Hour of the program begins. now. >> Football. >> It is magical. We're lucky to talk about. it every single day. We're actually. going to be talking uh to like football. royalty here in a matter of moments. Uh. the Hunt family, if you don't fully. understand what they have contributed to. football, more specifically Lamar Hunt, who is Clark Hunt, who will be joining. us in about eight and a half minutes or. so, his father, he is football. This.

this guy was a creative. This guy was a. forward thinker. And this guy loved. football. His family was in oil. His. brothers were going to go basically go. find more oil for the business. And he. said, "I'm not doing that." And he went. and tried to start a football team. Then. instead of just a football team that he. pitched to the NFL, the NFL didn't want. to do expansion. He said, "You know. what? You don't want me to start a team. Okay, I'll start an entire league. Starts the AFL, this guy, which. obviously then leads to the collision. course of the two coming together and. into the Super NFL that we have in Super.

Bowl. Oh yeah, that was coined by Lamar. Hunt. Uh painting the end zones, jerseys, uh logo, you name it. Basically, everything that is marketing. and uh the spectacle of football, the. Hunt family was behind. This guy also. was a nononsense trailblazer. M I mean. he was he in a letter that we saw at the. NFL Hall of Fame that he wrote in the. second bullet point there was somebody. that he wanted executed. This guy is not. allowed to be around anymore. So he was. stern. I think he was fair and he was a.

super visionist for football and his. family obviously continuing to carry the. torch right now. There's a documentary. out first two episodes of a seven. episode docue series called The Kingdom. on ESPN Plus and Disney Plus. And. obviously it's showcasing the current. dynasty that the boys are on. It's uh I. think it's going to be a really good. show. The toxic table was here at boss. Connor at Tai Schmidt. You spent a lot. of your night last night con man with. the kingdom. >> Yeah. Yeah. It was it was interesting. Definitely as a Patriots fan. It was one. of those things where you're watching. something and wishing you were the fan. of the team that you were watching just. because of how much cool information.

there was in there. The stuff that they. still have. You mentioned the AFL. The. they showed in Kansas City. They have. the original piece of paper that Lamar. Hunt created the AFL on as he was in a. >> detail oriented fell. Wrote a lot back. in the day. You had to do a lot of. writing. Lot of writing back in the day. >> Yeah. And he also too, it wasn't just. football. It was just sports in general. He uh I believe he started the World. International Tennis Circuit. He's in. the International Tennis Hall of Fame, Lamar Hunt. And I believe he was one of.

the first investors in the MLS. He tried. to start a uh National American Soccer. League, the NASL, and that didn't work. out. So then that was in like the 60s. and then later on start. >> It actually said that he was very. instrumental in bringing the World Cup. to the US in '94 and now his son has was. very instrumental in bringing it back. when we're going to have it this next. time. >> Hey, it's cool to learn about these. stories, you know, cuz I would never. thought that. Obviously, I understand. that the Kansas City Chiefs fan base is. awesome and the faithful is incredible,

but like learning why like, hey, this is. one of the original, brother. Like this. is way back football. You know, I'm from. Pittsburgh, so we're just like, hey, this is blueco collar football town. Green Bay, you think the same exact. thing. Kansas City, you think this town. loves football? Then you learn the. history of it's like this is one of the. founding towns of football. And also. Lamar Hunt, one of the founding fathers. of the league, like no questions asked. in this entire thing. I think that's a. nice piece of information because. obviously the AFC Championship trophy is. named after him, right? And we hear that. every single year, especially with the.

Chiefs winning, everybody's like, "Well, isn't that just convenient?" It's like. there's a re there's a that Super Bowl. probably would have been, you know, if. he didn't name it the Super Bowl and the. Lombardi. It's like it's wild to learn. about it is. And there's Chiefs haters. right now, of course. >> And the boys address that in the duck. Chris Jones goes, "Man, we done turned. into Patriots. They they used to love. us. Now everybody hates us or whatever.". And it's like that's what happens when. you're successful. And they've been. doing a long time there in Kansas City. >> And to your point about them being a. football city, when uh Lamar Hunt. started the AFL, he started in Dallas.

He was the Dallas Texans. And then. people in Kansas City after the NFL. started the Dallas Cowboys, they were. like, "Hey, we probably have to move.". And the Kansas City like mayor, uh, people who worked in the city, like the. city council, they basically sold Lamar. Hunt like, "Hey, Kansas City will be. perfect for a football team." And to. your point, it really is a football. time. >> It's certainly uh showcasing the Chiefs. >> Okay. And that but it's a lot of. football history in there because this. Lamar Hunt guy, >> I think, is going to be remembered now. after this. And I think I I think that's.

why we want to talk about it so much is. like this dude deserves his flowers. >> Definitely. >> I mean, this is a dog and you're talking. about him flying in coach and we're. talking about actually using band-aids. to keep his glasses together. He was a. photographer for the team like you're. just talking about like uh one of the. most interesting people of all time who. happened to love football which we're. incredibly lucky for. One half of the. hammer down Cowboys AP Tony's here. Football is really close, brother. And. this documentary has given us a little. bit of a taste. A lot of big games being. revisited in that thing. Yeah, we are. very very close. And things like this. kind of just like feed your itch in the.

meantime. And while the preseason g. preseasons are nice, preseason games are. good. You could gamble on them. You. could watch you there's some starters. playing here this weekend. But in the. meantime, like on these these lowly. Thursday nights when it was just high. school football or this. >> pretty good high school game though, >> great high school down in Georgia. >> Great. I know a couple Buford dogs down. there. Yeah, they got some beef down. there. It was good football game. >> But like if if you're not into that, this was uh this definitely scratched. the NFL itch last night. Yeah, certainly. did. Joining us now, ladies and. gentlemen, who is a man uh that was on.

the field yesterday with a whistle. around his neck, teaching the next. generation of footballers how to. properly tackle. He's a college football. national champion, a Super Bowl. champion, a Ryder Cup winner. Ladies and. gentlemen, AJ. >> Haller, can we please talk about what you were. doing last night? I love this. I love. everything about this photo. I like that. there's a house in the background cuz it. looks like it's just a field in a. neighborhood. I like that there's a. bunch of little boys wearing helmets and. pads. And I like that the all-time. leading tackler for the Green Bay.

Packers is right in the middle of it. trying to crowd it all. What are we. doing here? What are the drills? Is this. first day? How many days into this whole. thing are we? >> Uh we haven't had a game or anything. yet. We're uh you know, we're a couple. weeks into this first time tackle. football for a lot of the guys on the. squad. But yeah, we're we do a little. Oklahoma type drill where you know, block and tackle and all that stuff. You. got to teach them the basics. If we can. block and tackle, we'll be all right. I. love the fact that you're giving back to. the game to the next generation. That's. Ohio right there. That's very Ohio. Okay, let's go to Pittsburgh guy Aaron. Donald in his living room or in his game.

room with his boy helmet on, pads on. saying, "Hey." Kid goes right for the. temple and he Aaron laughs. Mom goes, "Hey, hey, can't be." And Aaron's just. laughing down there. It's like passing. the game on to the next generation is. such an important piece, I think, of our. sport. I think it's a very valuable. piece of our sport and in doing so I. think the game is only going to continue. to grow. Joining us now ladies and. gentlemen is a man whose family has been. a part of the NFL since its inception. A. man whose family is obviously in the.

middle of a dynastic run and also in the. middle of a documentary series about. them and their family that I assume is. an anxiety riddled type of situation. beforehand but also getting a chance to. showcase it. Ladies and gentlemen, owner. of the Kansas City Chiefs, chairman and. CEO of the Chiefs. Ladies and gentlemen, Clark Hunt. >> How you doing, boss? >> I'm doing great. I'm so glad to be on. with you. >> Hey, thank you for joining us. Legitimately, uh, we've gotten a chance. obviously to watch your operation from. afar. Uh, and obviously have been big.

fans of this dynastic run that you guys. have all put together. But watching this. documentary, learning about your. family's contributions to the sport has. been very cool. Are you excited for the. world? this maybe a generation that. hasn't really fully learned about what. your family has done for the sport and. your dad has done for the sport. Are you. excited for everybody to kind of learn. that story through this documentary? >> Absolutely. I think one of the best. things about the documentary is not only. does it chronicle the success that we've. had over the last six or seven years,

but it also goes back uh all the way to. the founding of the franchise back in. 1960 when my dad pulled together the. American Football League. uh got got the. group of owners which uh he nicknamed. the foolish club uh together to take on. the NFL and shows the early history of. the Chiefs organization as the team. moved to Kansas City and then of course. transitions into the Andy Reid era. >> Yeah, the Andy Reid era has certainly. been a great one. Them showcasing Brett. Vch and his big brain. The story of them.

talking about Patrick Mahomes. Yeah. And. how they found him. Go ahead. Brett V. was watching a left tackle from Texas. Tech and then was basically after a. couple plays said, "Who the hell is this. quarterback?" And then watched every. single play from Patrick Mahomes's Texas. Tech career is unbelievable. >> And then there's a story allegedly that. Andy Reid walked by his office and said, "What are you doing?" And Brett V said, "I'm watching the next quarterback of. the Kansas City Chiefs." Allegedly from. this one wormhole that Brett Vich went. in, he knew that this was going to be. the guy. You guys trade a future first. to move up to 10 to draft Patrick.

Mahomes. And then obviously it all goes. how it goes. Whenever you're making all. these decisions and you're putting trust. in Brett V and Andy Reid to kind of. guide the football side of the Chiefs, are you expecting greatness immediately. out of everybody? And through those hard. times, did you wonder if we're ever. going to get back on top? Was there ever. any worry? >> Yeah, absolutely. We'd been through a. tough couple of years back in 2011 2012. Uh actually only won two games in 2012. That was a very tough season both on the.

field and off. And we were so blessed to. be able to bring Andy Reid uh to Kansas. City. And I knew he was the type of. coach that we needed. We needed an. experienced coach. Uh somebody who had. been there and done it. Uh somebody with. tremendous attention to detail and an. ability to really connect with his. players. And all Andy does is come in. and we win nine straight games, right? You know, basically the same team that. only won two the year before. And that. just shows you the immediate impact that.

he had on our culture. And then you. mentioned Brett Vch who came with Andy. uh from Philadelphia. Uh did a fantastic. job in our scouting department. Obviously the fun story about him. scouting and finding Patrick Mahomes. And I remember Andy telling me about, you know, Brett would put a tape on his. his desk every week and say, "You've got. to look at this tape." And it was a tape. of Patrick, you know, doing amazing. things at Texas Tech. And eventually. Andy was like, "I got it. I got it. You're right. This this guy's special.

We got to figure out how to get him.". Yeah, I guess Andy Reed also said in. there when Brett V when they were. together in Philadelphia, whenever he. said something about a player, he was. never wrong. And it's like that eye for. talent is something that only a few. people have. You seemingly got multiple. people in that building, let alone you. your coordinators are all Hall of Famers. as well. Run a good operation over. there, boss. You should be incredibly. proud of that. Go ahead, AJ. >> Yeah. Uh, speaking of Andy Reid, as far. as this documentary goes, how did you. talk him into how do you present this to. him to where he would be okay with all. the access that you guys uh have given. all these cameras and microphones?

obviously inundated with everything you. do. >> Yeah. Well, la last year uh before the. season, we were approached by several. groups uh that wanted to do a. documentary about our pursuit of the. third straight Lombardi Trophy. And at. first, you know, we we worried about the. distraction that would come with that. Uh but we got comfortable as we went. through the process, particularly with. Words and Pictures, uh who's the the. team that that pulled this all together. and ma made it happen. We knew the great. work that they had done with the Chicago.

Bulls, which our family's also involved. with in putting uh together the last. dance and so we really thought they were. the right group to do it. Uh Andy at. first was a little reluctant, but we got. him comfortable uh with the fact that it. wouldn't be too intrusive. Um it. wouldn't distract too much from the. mission, which was to get back to the. Super Bowl and hopefully win it. And at. the end of the day, you know, Andy ends. up being one of the stars of the show, which he typically is, right? That that. episode last night, you know, which.

really focused on him. Uh the don't. don't judge uh episode, I think, is. really special and it shows what an. incredible person and coach Andy is. >> Yeah. We even visit his punt passing. kick days, which we've all seen the. clips. >> We've all seen the clips. Andy Reid's. always going to be a star. You got a lot. of stars on that team at this point. And. uh I appreciated one of the clips was. Patrick Mahomes telling the cameras. like, "Hey, turn them off or whatever. Cameras stay on and we're just going to. Hey, we're still going to get your audio. though, bro. And then we'll ask you. later if it's okay if we put it out.".

It's like I think they did a very good. job kind of piecing it all together. Ty. has a question for you, Mr. Hunt. >> Yeah, Mr. Hunt, do you feel pressure to. be like a visionary and very. forwardthinking. uh due to the legacy that your dad has. within the NFL and for all he. accomplished for the league? Obviously, the league is much different now than. when, you know, he was kind of, you. know, building it from the ground up, but do you feel that pressure on a. day-to-day basis? You know, my dad was an incredible. individual, and you guys have talked a.

little bit about all that he. accomplished in professional sports, which extended beyond American football. to soccer and basketball and tennis. I. mean, he truly was a visionary and pro. sports in this country wouldn't be where. it is today without him. You know, when. I uh took over the reigns from my dad uh. almost 20 years ago, you know, I thought. a lot about, you know, how I needed to. lead the Chiefs. And at the end of the. day, I decided that I needed to rely on. my own strengths and be my own person. because there's no duplicating Lamar.

Hunt. Uh but something that my siblings. and I always talk about is we've got to. make sure we preserve his legacy because. it's so special. Uh so really every. decision that we make uh we we make that. decision with a framework of you know. what would Lamar Hunt have done? We. think about that and and how this. continues to shape his amazing uh legacy. in pro sports in the United States. >> What a brain on that guy and obviously. you as well. But this is a showcase of.

your dad there early in this documentary. when we were at the Hall of Fame. I'm. telling you we were I mean a little. tuned up. I think we had a couple. drinks. Yeah, we had a couple drinks and. they were giving us a tour of the place. and we went down the vault and we were. talking to Ted. >> Bruce, can you help me? What What's his. name? Bruce. >> John at the at the Hall of Fame. >> John at Hall of Fame. Okay. Jake led us. to John. We apologize. John though, like. historian like you guys have for the. Chiefs. Bob Moore, I think I saw uh the. guy that was showcasing you guys. We go.

into the Hall of Fame vault. pulls out. the letter, the actual letter that your. dad sent, I believe. And uh that's what. they say at least. If you have it in. yours, I mean, there's conflicting. reports, but what the Hall of Fame said. was the actual letter. And we were. reading it and it's like you could just. kind of feel the type of person your dad. was as it was, right? Visionary. He said. the we need something like the Gray Cup. or like the Stanley Cup. We I've. jokingly called it the Super Bowl, but. we can obviously revisit that. Like that. was like a throwaway at like number five.

at the bottom of the the page. And then. they started showcasing these other. things back whenever I think it was 190. something uh 1906 19 guys died playing. football. So then they had to go five by. five on the like we did a full history. of the game there with John and your dad. was ever present through the entirety of. it and then this documentary kind of. shows up here two weeks later. We just. want to let you know we didn't know for. a long time and we're football people. It's been an honor to learn about your. dad being a beast man. He he was an. absolute beast. But I think he had to be.

and whenever you guys are working with. him while doing this and you have to. let's say nowadays and you said what. would Lamar Hunt Lamar Hunt do? You. think this documentary he would have. loved? Is there anything that you have. to do in a modern age that you think. like maybe he wouldn't have liked doing. this or he would have loved this. particular thing that we're kind of. doing right now? Do you ever have those. types of moments with your dad? >> Yeah. In thinking about the documentary, I think he would love it because at the. end of the day, he believes the game is. all about the fans. And this documentary.

gives our fans a real behindthescenes. look. Not only that at everything that. took place at our practice facility and. at games to get back to the Super Bowl, but it also tells a lot about the. personal lives of some of the key. figures on the team, including Travis. and Patrick and Chris Jones and and Andy. Reid. Really shows what goes into it. from an emotional standpoint and the. tremendous character that those. individuals have. Uh so I think he would. absolutely love it. uh because at the.

end of the day he was about making the. fan experience as good as it possibly. could be. >> I love that. I love to hear it. Uh on. that note, Tone has a question for you. >> Yeah, Mr. Hun. I have a I have a. question about the stars on your team. Obviously Patrick is is a ginormous star. in the NFL world and doing quarterback. and stuff like that. But we just saw it. this week with Travis Kelce and Taylor. Swift on the New Heights podcast. They. broke every single record in the world. Obviously Taylor coming to your games. and stuff like that, but Travis being as.

big as a star now as he is, I assume. that that you guys don't hate this and. and this is all good for business. >> Uh yeah. Well, first of all, let me just. say how happy we are for their. relationship. Uh they're an amazing. couple and watching the two of them. together is really special and and uh. you know, that podcast, seeing them side. by side talking about their relationship. was absolutely amazing. Um it it's been. a whirlwind I would say for uh the. organization over the last two years uh. since Taylor literally stepped into our.

lives. Um she's done an amazing job uh. unintentionally of increasing our female. fan base. We used to be about a 50/50. ratio male to female fan base and now. 57% of our fans uh are female which I. think is probably the highest in in the. National Football League. Uh so there's. absolutely been a a Taylor Swift effect. and I should just should say that my. daughters uh couldn't be happier that we. have her as part of the Chief's Kingdom. now. >> Yeah, they're not the only ones,

brother. I I mean it is great for the. entire sport. We think we are big. football people. So we love it that the. biggest star on earth is involved. I. couldn't even imagine being actually the. owner of the team. We love it too, brother. Yeah, we we we certainly uh. love it as well. her the the securing. the stadium and getting her in there and. obviously the story goes we learned on. the new heights podcast 1.3 million. concurrence that's at that time let. alone they put out the numbers. afterwards we're talking records all. over the place she just walked in the.

front door I guess of Arrowhead the. first time she went there then obviously. it's become an entire thing we've heard. about the threef flooror suite. potentially in the stadium uh it's kind. of like a rumor allure about it but have. you guys had to change anything because. the biggest star on Earth is coming in. there. And obviously once it's known. that she's coming, it becomes an even. bigger kind of chaotic [ __ ] show almost. outside of that thing. >> Yeah, it it's been a little challenge. for our security folks, but they've done. a great job both at home games and on.

the road. She's attended a number of. away games as well, and they do a great. job of getting her safely into the. stadium. But I think the most amazing. thing about that first game of which, you know, caught us all by surprise was. the fact that she literally walked in. the front door and, you know, we had. offered to to get her some special. security and she said, "No, I want to be. just like a typical fan. I'm coming. straight in the front door. >> She's a dog, dude. She's a dog. I mean, we all need to understand that at this. point. She is an absolute dog. She's a.

great football per like we are very. thankful she's in the football world. I. obviously you are as well. you know, we. don't have to do that. Uh Clark, we. appreciate you, man. What's life like. right now for the preseason for you? What do what do what do you have cooking. on a dayto-day during these days? >> Yeah. Well, I'm headed to Seattle later. today. Uh we play the uh Seahawks. tonight and uh obviously the focus uh. this time of year is evaluating your. young players. And I think Brett V has. done it again. We have an amazing draft.

class. Uh they looked great last week. I. can't wait to see them play tonight. I. think they'll play a big part in our. success this year. >> Hell yeah. Connor has a question for. you, Boss. >> Yeah, Mr. Hunt, speaking of the draft, you guys kind of hosted in 2023 and that. was one of the first big massive draft. nights. You know, Nashville comes to. mind and even Green Bay this past. season. It feels like the draft has. become a massive, you know, fan. experience in the offseason. >> Lamar Hunt would love. >> Lamar Hunt would love it. Yeah. >> Yeah, he would. Yep. Yep. Big N. Yeah.

How how was that experience kind of. hosting the draft in your own city? And. then also how much better is it for you. as an owner now that you aren't picking. at the top of every draft and you can. kind of hang out and wait till the end. of it? >> Yeah. Well, of course, uh you know, picking at the end of the round makes it. tough, but Brett and his staff are up to. the challenge every year, and it seems. like, you know, they find some real gems. and hopefully did it again this year. with Josh Simmons. Uh, but you know,

going back to hosting the draft in. Kansas City, what an amazing opportunity. that was to showcase Kansas City and, uh, I thought Kansas City did a. fantastic job. Um, it was an amazing. event, 300,000 people attending. Um, it. it was just a lot of fun all the way. around. I think that's one of the best. decisions that the NFL has made in. recent years is moving the draft around. to different cities and and letting them. have that opportunity because there are. passionate fan bases across the US,

>> especially in these cities that probably. won't get a Super Bowl, you know, because weather restrictions and it all. So, you have the draft, it is a. celebration of football. It's still a. festival. It's multiple days. Obviously, it's not Super Bowl, but it is awesome. And it's all because Radio City Musical. said, "We don't got time for you. Sorry, NFL. The Raw Cats got to do a show." And. then uh it's become one of the biggest. nights of the offseason for us. Uh. combine first couple days draft the only. thing that carry us in the offseason. So. if you guys want to think of more, >> you know, super duper things in the. offseason, we would be very grateful. Ju.

just know that whenever you guys do. that, the people that talk every single. day would love everything about that. Last question here from AJ. Go ahead, boss. >> Yeah, Mr. Hunt. I I just curious how how. competitive you may be with the other. owners. I think of you guys getting. together at the owners meeting, maybe. other events where you guys are together. and we know like everybody wants to win. We know that you've you've been in a. great spot here for a while now, but are. you guys competitive? Do you guys talk? Do you joke around back and forth about. your franchise and how they may be. doing? >> Yeah, I think everybody who's involved. with the NFL is incredibly competitive.

You know, my dad used to say, "This is a. really unusual business." Uh because six. days a week, you're trying to work. together to make the NFL better, and. then on Sundays, you want to punch your. best friends. And uh that's absolutely how how it is. Uh everybody cares a lot about winning. Uh I think that's something that that. our fan base understands. And uh you. know, I'm lucky to have, you know, so. many great partners in the NFL, but. certainly on Sundays, I want to come out.

on top. Hey, let's talk about a couple. of those partners that you might be able. to either gain knowledge from or give. knowledge to here in Indianapolis. Obviously, three daughters of Jim are. taking over the team. Second gener now. third generation ownership in the. family. Obviously, you would understand. a situation like this even though it. happened to you, I think, at a little. bit older age than like Kayn or Carly or. Casey. Do they reach out? Do do you guys. reach out to the to the Daughters or the. next set of ownership whenever teams. have a situation arise like the one we.

have right now in Indianapolis? >> Yeah, I think that's one of the great. things about uh the NFL ownership group. is how collaborative uh we are. Uh I. remember when I took over for my dad. that uh John Mayer reached out to me and. said, "Hey, uh if you want to, you know, bounce any ideas off me, if you know if. you've got some questions that you need. answered, I'd love to talk to you about. it." So it is a group that works really. well together. Uh obviously when you. have these transitions they're they're. very difficult. Uh there's a lot of.

responsibility. Uh even though I got to. work with my dad for many years before. he passed away. You know the first time. that that spotlight is on you, it is. really really challenging and uh you. know there definitely in our case were. some some hard days. uh I made some. mistakes and uh hopefully learned from. those mistakes and uh certainly had a. lot of good resources to bounce ideas. off. >> Yeah. Where's the manual? You know, when. you sit down, is it uh. >> is it in this drawer? And then on the. flip side of that, did you reach out or.

have you reached out to Craft about. because obviously now post their dynasty. run 20 plus years. Absurd, insane. None. of us really know. you guys are. obviously going to try to attain that. and uh you know supersede that and. everything, but now we've learned that. there's been a lot of [ __ ] that he had. to deal with while they were doing their. dynasty as an owner as an owner. Have. you reach out and chitchated about that. or do you think you have a different. kind of culture than what was happening. in New England and it's not really the. same operation?

>> Yeah. Well, we're very close to the. Craft family. My dad and Robert were. very good friends and I consider. Jonathan Craft uh a close friend as. well. Uh we've not only been involved in. the NFL together, but we've been in. Major League Soccer uh since the start. back in 1996. Uh so we get to spend a. lot of time with him. Um uh when we. started going uh to the Super Bowl, I. did reach out to Jonathan uh you know. just to to ask his perspective because. they had been to so so many games and.

you know what were the dos and don'ts. and you know how did you need to. maximize the opportunity and make sure. that the team uh remained focused on on. the task at hand. Uh so they were a. tremendous resource uh to me and uh you. know I I feel very blessed that we've. been able to have this dynastic run you. know following the amazing success that. they had for over a decade. >> Yeah they ran Yeah. Yeah. two day they. were a long time. I was in the NFL. during a portion of it. Uh I was in high. school during a portion of it and I was.

in college during it was a long long ass. time. Uh uh off topic I your family I. think soccer obviously you talked about. uh you know major league soccer and ASL. everything in America. I think your boy. plays I think I'm not 100% sure but I. think I've seen he plays down at SMU I. think which is your uh college. Are we. ever going to win this thing? Are we you. think our team What do you think? I have. faith. I like Ponch the head coach of. the US men's national team. You think we. have a chance? >> Yeah. Well, first of all, getting to.

host uh the tournament back in the US is. going to be tremendous for the sport and. typically the host countries do very. well uh in the World Cup. In fact, you. can go back to 1994 when the US uh. hosted the tournament and we made it. further in that tournament than we had. made it in many many years. Uh so I I. would expect that we'll get a boost uh. from hosting the tournament. Uh I do. think we're doing a much better job. developing players and uh at the end of. the day, you know, that's really what. you have to do. We've got to have world.

class players uh if we want to one day. aspire to win the World Cup. Uh I I. would hope that we're going to advance. deep in the cup. I don't know that we'll. win in 26, but I certainly expect it in. the coming years. >> We're going to win in 2026. >> Yeah, we're going to win in 20 We're. going to be loud too over here. We are. going to be very loud and obnoxious. about it. Just know that. Uh I know you. can't, but just know that we will be the. obnoxious Americans through that entire. World Cup run. And we are expecting a. title. >> Yes, >> it's coming home. >> It is uh certainly coming home. Tony. Mola, Kobe Jones, Alexi Lawless, and the.

boys back there. Oh, 1994. He wasn't. around, but. yes, Jeff Cameron would fit in with that. for sure. Clark, safe travels out to. Seattle. We appreciate the hell out of. you, man. Congrats on everything, by the. way. >> Yeah, thank you very much. Great, great. to be on. Uh, fun to get to talk about. the kingdom. We couldn't be more pleased. about it as an organization. >> All right. Hey, did you know our show. existed before they told you to come on. this show? >> Uh, I I'd heard rumors about it.

>> Sweet. >> Absolutely. >> Hey, hey, we appreciate you taking the. time. You're the man, ladies and. gentlemen. Clark, >> Mr. Hook, >> I always wonder like. >> what was the level of surprise whenever. they show up and then it starts going. how it's going. >> What is this? This is not what I. expected. >> Get him off there. Get him off there. >> I assume full. >> happened with Riley Green. >> Yeah, Riley Green. Is this what this is? >> He was great. >> That dude's got a cannon, bro. >> He cannon, AJ. >> How about him? >> And he's dunking. He's one foot dunking, too. Like, that's amazing. >> So, he did uh like before the show,

before we recorded with He was awesome. I'm telling. >> he the best guest we've just had in the. like excluding interview, just hanging. out. He's one of the top three for sure, >> I think. So, yeah. just came and sat. down and just immediately right into the. fire. I I mean, no questions asked with. his accent in his own way, you know, in. a very southern country [ __ ] way, you. know? It was it was spectacular. I And. >> he walked in and we saw his silhouette. first sideways.

>> and he had that hat and then his. mustache was just like so. >> Yeah, >> it was it was like an it was. >> it was it was Yeah. And it just he had. like that [ __ ] Hey, how you doing. Riley? It was like this guy. Holy hell. Shirt tucked in immediately upon enter. I mean, you're talking just absolute. gentleman was doing construction. >> Yeah, >> we appreciate him. Uh, okay. Let's talk. about the news that broke today. Obviously, I'm excited to get your take. and I would like you to not only speak. for yourself, okay, >> I'd like you to speak. >> for a legion of people that you.

represented as the president of Ohio for. a couple years. >> Ohio State fans reaction to the Michigan. punishments that have been kind of. announced today. Uh, it's basically. money. It's going to end up being like. 2530 million all in if they end up. playing. Uh they won't be able to. receive any college football playoff. funds. They got fined like 7 something. million on top of that. Shiron Moore. suspended in 2026. There's a $50,000. fine to the football team as well. I. think that they're taking away uh one.

chamber, one uh hyperaric chamber. 50,000. I think they're keeping a. quarter of it though cuz I think it is. like. >> 75 or I think they're keeping 33% of the. hyperbaric chamber. >> cuz I think it was 75,000. So they took $50,000 of the hyperaric. chamber out. So I don't know how they're. going to be able to close the end but. there is still a little bit. Uh. seemingly if I'm a Michigan fan very. excited that this is over now as. somebody who respects the hell out and.

appreciates college football as a whole. had no idea we were still in the middle. of this. You know, like when the tweet. came out that the NCAA will be making. its final ruling on Friday or for a. ruling on Friday, I I thought to myself, this can't still be Connor Stallions. It. is. That'll carry all the way into 2026. with Ron Moore suspension. How do you. think the people of Ohio are feeling? I'm sure they're very reasonable about. it all. >> Yeah, I mean, I can't exactly speak for. the people of Ohio. I'm sure there's. >> You're the president. >> Yes, you can. >> I can speak for myself, I guess. I think.

there's definitely people that uh are. fans of Ohio State that expected. something like this, especially when we. had Pete come on yesterday and Pete. basically told us it's not going to be. some gigantic situation where they you. know there's a postseason bowl ban or. anything like this. Like I'm I'm. personally like torn on it because I. don't think you should I don't want the. players there now to get punished. Like. I don't think you should punish players. that are there now for something that. happened before they even got to school. Like I don't I think that's stupid. It. rips those dudes off. Yep. >> And the head coach is gone already.

coaching the NFL. 10 year show might as. well be a hundred year show. Like who. cares? That doesn't matter. We know that. 14 years. It's 14. It's four years then. 10. And then it didn't run concurrently. You know, those are those are stacked on. top of each other. But yes, I I think as. you read through it all in Connor. Stallion uh eight years I think he has a. show cause. But if you read Nicole. Ibback's tweet about Jim Harbaugh, everybody's like assuming that Connor. Stallion just kind of banned. And it's. like, no, they just have to make a pitch. for why he's allowed to coach there. And.

they just got to showcase that they have. certain things in place that'll make. sure he doesn't cheat again or something. like that. That's basically how it was. worded. And you know, that's just kind. of I think Connor Stallion is probably. pretty excited about everything that. >> he's hired. Think someone hires him? >> Uh, >> yeah. >> From what we learned from watching that. talk, it's like I don't know how he. doesn't have a job in the NFL already. just doing data [ __ ] you know, just. like he's a data analytics guy. He went. he was obsessed with it. He was a URA. with this entire thing. We're talking. about sleeping on the side of the road. in a car in between, you know, like this.

dude was committed to the game. And now, did he go too far? Everybody in football. was like, yes, if he was recording and. going too far, but everybody in football. was also like, >> man, why did we hire that guy? >> Yeah, it's always, it's just like up in. New England with uh everything that was. getting caught. Like Spygate, everybody. still kind of holds over Bellich. Not. everybody, but there's some people that. still hold that over. But every NFL. player and coach was just like, "Let's. move along. Let's move along. Let's not. dig too deep into this thing." Like,

obviously can't do it. He got punished. Let's not start turning over stones in. everybody else's backyard. Let's not. let's just keep it moving. And uh I feel. like this kind of fell into that same. thing and inevitable. Like at the. beginning, it was like this is. scumbaggery. Mhm. >> And I think as we continue to learn, as. it continue to go, is like, >> all right, the 10-year thing though, the. hard balls why are they just trying to. guess how long his career is going to be. with the Chargers? >> If this guy thinks he's going to come. back after a 10-year career in the NFL, hey, he's got another thing coming. He'll be suspended for a year, allegedly.

is what Nicole Hourback reported. If he. was to come back during this 14-year. show cause suspension that he have is. having going on. But yeah, I I think if. you're a Michigan fan, you're you're. a-okay moving forward here. They paid. Bryce Underwood, $16 million. >> Yeah. >> That kid's going to be there for three. years. >> Four a year. >> Yeah. So, and they just picked up what's. his name? The guy that owns Lenai. >> Uh, Larry Ellison. >> Yeah. Larry Ellison is now a booster of. a school that he ever went to cuz who. he's second or third wealthiest person.

or fourth wealthiest person in the. world. He's the one that paid for the. Bryce Underwood thing. Just Yeah. He got. How much we need? Yeah. He actually. wired it from the island of Hawaii that. he owns in Lai up to his own satellite. and then dropped it directly into Bryce. Underwood's bank account that he. probably owns too somehow. It's like. >> they're not worried about money up there. in Michigan. The NCAA should have been. like $150 million. >> and we're going to get a re renovation. of the office. Yeah. >> You know, we're going to use Michigan to. do it. And they would have still acted. the same exact way. It's like, yeah, we.

move along here. >> Where's that money go? >> I don't know. It's a good question. >> I don't know. the NCAA offense. >> It's a lot. >> Yeah. 20ome million. Yeah. It's a lot of. money. Also, Notre Dame, how much money. they make for college football playoff. versus everybody else? >> Oh, yeah. >> Smart. >> Why would they ever join a conference? Bingo. Why? >> Well, why wouldn't anybody else be. trying to get out of a conference? >> Exactly. >> Yeah. You know, like. >> that's true. >> If you're a big brand, you can split it. between 36 other other sports or what? Yeah. >> Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Like for.

instance, let's say Ohio State and. Petiti is not going to like this and we. like Petiti and we like the Big 10 and. we like Ohio State. You can throw. Michigan in there too, but Ohio State, let's just talk Ohio State. Ohio State, Columbus, highest rated on everything. College game day, Columbus, the rating. is insane. Ohio State games are playing. anybody. The rating is insane. Why is. Ohio State playing in the biggest week. uh game of the week for Fox who just. paid billions of dollars for the Big 10. deal literally at noon every single Why. do the people of Ohio State uh hate the. situation that the prime time game on.

their network is at noon instead of at. night? It's because Ohio State moves the. needle no matter what. That is what if. Ohio State was to be an independent. operation. seamless. >> Yeah, >> it would be an absolute seamless. operation. Now, Petite doesn't want to. hear that. I understand that and I. assume people at Ohio State don't want. to hear that either, but that's like a. very real thing. There's probably what. like four schools that could do it, five. schools that could do it. >> and just kind of. >> have their own fans will support us. until we go no matter Texas has the. opportunity to do that. >> They did it kind of. >> Yeah. Longhorn Network.

>> Yeah. >> But Notre Dame obviously able to do it. They are currently doing it. But it's. not like everybody could do that. But if. you had the capability and had the. platform and the base and knew that your. fans were going to support wherever you. went and TV deals were going to be ready. for you as soon as you went there, it's. like, why wouldn't you want to take the. full aotment of a college football. playoff bonus as opposed to having to. split it with literally 18 different. people? That's an interesting little. thing. Shout out to Notre Dame. Yeah. Like literally from the jump having. this, but if you're those other schools. that could do this, you got to be at. least snooping around a little bit on.

how this would be possible. probably. won't ever happen because that's kind of. like the benefit for a lot of the other. teams in the Big 10. But it will be. interesting if in like four years, let's. say like the only teams from the Big 10. that have made the College Football. Playoff are Michigan, Ohio State, and. Penn State O and Oregon. Yeah, I forget. they're in the Big 10. Like they might. go back and be like, "Hey, we're done. doing this like everyone gets an equal. distribution of like we're the only. teams that are making to the playoffs. So like we're not just going to let our. continued success kind of let all these.

other schools eat." like you wonder. I. mean, obviously there are by bylaws in. place that probably make that impossible. to happen. But it is interesting because. if you just continually have those teams. kind of setting the bar in a conference. and you could go to the other. conferences too, it's the same deal. It's like, hey, why why are we the ones. who are having all the success and we're. kind of getting punished by it because. we have to give, you know, the. Northwesterns of the world $2.5 million. because we make the playoffs. Pete. Pvacqua and Marcus Freeman up there at. Notre Dame. Like, how much money are you.

guys getting for this game? >> Two and a half million. >> You idiot. >> Yeah, that's nice. [Music]. >> 20 of them. >> for what? What? What you guys just did? Yeah. >> Why would they ever when people try to. get him to join a conference? Why would. they ever? >> Well, especially if the Marcus Freeman's. going to continue to lead the boys, you. know, like that's a huge payday. Obviously, March Madness and everything. is big money for universities as well. But if you're Notre Dame and your. football team can get to the College. Football Playoff, we're going to have. new buildings up there on a very regular. basis.

>> And not that that campus isn't already. beautiful, which it is, but it's like. they got it figured out up there. And uh. good for them. All right, let's move. along. Let's go to the NFL. Uh there's. preseason action happening. There's some. notables playing age. We got some big. names. prime time. Caleb Williams will. make his debut under the Ben Johnson. offense and allegedly, you know, Zitto. found a tweet from somewhere deep in the. annals of the internet. Caleb Williams. having a good day today against the. Buffalo Bills. You got Herbert playing. Obviously, hard ball is going to have. the boys spinning a little bit. Gino. Smith, Bruce Perie. Bruce.

>> Oh, hold on. >> Hold on. He should think about that. >> Bruce, is that his dad's name? >> I'm sure there's a Bruce in the Py. family. >> His grandpa got to be grandad. >> Granddaddy Bruce. Grand Pepe, Grand. Daddy. Uh Brock Birdie playing Cam Ward, Anthony Richardson, and Danny Dimes. continue their quarterback battle. Sam. Darnold, how you doing? Seattle. Seahawks. Learn something about Gingers. uh from Marawn Lynch. I didn't know. that. So sweet. >> I I got a couple Gingers in the fam. Uh. I guess they got the green light from.

what I've been told. I'm excited for. them to try that going forward. Shout. out to Marshon Lynch. And then obviously. Joe Milton can throw it to Corm. We'll. see if he does that. Uh Dylan Gabriel. getting some time because Shidor Sanders. hurt his oblique. He'll be out. So that. week one awesome play out of Shidor will. carry into at least week three of the. preseason as he sits out in this. oblique. Great play by the way. Not. saying we're happy he's hurt, but for. the Shora Sanders conversation. Let's. see what Dylan Gabriel does. Oh yeah. >> And if he does it,

>> which. >> it's going to get a lot. >> We We've seen Dewan Jones before and. we've seen Dylan Gabriel. You keep. attacking this guy for his height. >> I'm not attacking him. I just still. think it's crazy that what Shadore did. in the first preseason game and what. Dylan Gabriel is that one of them was. picked in the fifth round, one was. picked in the third round. >> Yeah, it's still pretty crazy to all of. us. Remember Dylan Gabriel though is uh. absolute dog in college ball and can. spin. >> He has a little Kell my uh thought.

whenever I see him, not just because. he's a lefty, but the style of play. Maybe the timing of a Stfansky offense. will be great uh for Dylan Gabriel. And. he's been having to deal with finding. throwing lanes his whole life. Now it's. a little different with, you know, the. Giants of the NFL, but we shall see how. that go. It's going to get loud for. Dylan. Whatever happens here, >> I hope he does very well. >> I heard Joe Flacco, too, was spinning. it. Nobody wants to talk about it. I. heard Flaco still out there doing what. Joe Flacco. >> I'm going to make a uh a guess here. Joe. Flacco is going to start week one. >> Okay. And then week what is another.

quarterback playing. >> uh next next season? Joe Flacco's. running the gamut. He's back with. Stfansky. The last time he played with. Stfansky, he came from the couch to the. playoffs with the Cleveland Browns. >> If Joe stays healthy, he's going to be. start. >> It's going to be tough to bench Flaco. when they're 10 and0 after, you know, 10. weeks, >> which is definitely possible with Joe. Fl. Everybody will laugh about that. >> Oh, Jerry Judy's going to have 1500. yards in 10. >> You see Jerry Judy's trying out today? >> Oh, yeah. >> Oh, Jerry Judy's mid-season form. I know. you like to see that. >> I love him. I want Hey, I am curious to. see what Dylan Gabriel does. We watch.

him in person. That dude can play. We. know that you're right. If he comes out. there and lights it up, it's going to be. it's going to be some fun talking points. up in Cleveland. >> Didn't play great against Ohio State. Jackson Dart and and you just wanted to. bring that game up. Uh that's you doing. play great at all. >> Yeah, in that particular game, but he's. obviously in that game. I mean, >> first time he did. First time he played. he did. True. >> Jackson Dart's playing. They say he's a. guy for the future. They say Russell. Wilson once again probably started. there. Jackson Dart, when does that. happen? When's the New York Giants bye?

Bruce, when's your guys' by week for the. New York Giants? >> He's looking. >> Oh, >> I'd assume. >> He doesn't know. >> Wow. >> Week 14. >> Yeah, late. >> Well, that's very late. >> That's crazy. >> That's very late. That would that would. have seemingly been the the transition. time if you had it. Week 14 is way too. late. We'll see how that goes. And then. you got Rattler and Shuck playing ball a. little bit. AJ, out of all that, I think. Caleb Williams is obviously all eyes on. that whole Ben Johnson situation. And. can't wait to see what happens in. Indianapolis. I didn't like the swag who. laughed in my face whenever I said that.

was crazy. >> That was crazy. >> That was messed up. >> He was hitting his head like he he was. literally. >> the funniest thing he's ever heard. Crying laugh. >> I still think there's a chance somebody. was underneath his feet. Yeah. >> Tickling his. son. >> Yeah, I don't think his son I think his. son was probably in the gym or. something. Maybe he had like a little. robot down there just like, "Hey, tickle. my feet.". >> Duster tickle me robot. >> Yeah, he had a huge one. So, let's not. talk about the Anthony Richardson, Danny. Dime situation, which will obviously be. mustwatch, but Caleb Williams operating.

Ben Johnson's offense is all anybody's. going to talk about. So, we are actually. going to judge him in the huddle when. he's getting a snap off on the play, >> play games, all that. Don't you want to. see like, hey, when do they break the. huddle with 3 seconds on the clock? Like, how just the full operation is. what I want to see. Like, that's what. I'm sure the coaches want to see that. too. Hey, let's look professional. tonight. Let's look like we know what. we're doing. I do wonder if they didn't. have enough faith last week in it and. they're like, "We're not putting anybody. out there. We who cares? It's first week. of preseason because the conversation. was if the offensive line's not in, why. are they gonna have Caleb in?" It's.

like, well, the maybe the reason why he. chose not to have the offensive line is. because maybe we don't all we're not all. on the same page. Maybe now is not the. time. And they got to learn a brand new. offense that has a lot in it. I mean, we've seen the Detroit Lions over the. years. There's a lot of [ __ ] in that. offense. I assume there's a foundation. I assume there's like basics of it and. then there's only like 10 million. different things that can come off of. it. And learning all of those different. things, you know, if you're uh the tight. end, you got to learn all the tight end. [ __ ] If you're X, you got to learn all. if you are these positions, you only got. to learn your [ __ ] Caleb has to learn.

everybody's multitude of things that. they could do. So maybe it's just taken. a little bit. I would not blame him if. that was the case, especially from what. we've heard of Ben Johnson's offense. and hopefully he'll be able to light it. up in that particular offense that has. had a lot of success over the last four. years in Detroit. >> Yeah. And I I mean obviously he's not. thinking about this, but Caleb's one of. those guys where no matter what he does, there will be no middle ground in terms. of the way it's discussed following the. game. If he plays really well, people. are going to be like, "See, this is what. we were talking about. Ben Johnson, like. this guy could be one of the five best.

quarterbacks in the NFL. If he doesn't. play well, it's going to be, hey, this. guy sucks." Like, you know, like there I. don't think there's going to be any like. he he played pretty well. He played. okay. Like I don't I don't think we're. gonna get any of that. >> Are you a little bit worried in the NFC. North? >> Oh, me? >> Because I heard that the Colts in. Packers joint practices. >> Have you heard? >> Uh I heard that the Packers defense was. pretty dominating and I'm not worried. about the Colts D because Jordan loved. him practice. So, you know, it's kind of. a win-win for me. >> No, we're playing low scoring football.

We're not worried about that. >> I did I did read that uh defense has. dominated the day. But that's a that was. actually a very good kind of reminder. for me yesterday. I was like, you look. at the Colts beat reporters and Colts. are having the best best goddamn day. they've had so far. Packers guys are. saying the same thing. So, it's kind of. like, okay, like what do we do? Like, this [ __ ] doesn't matter. >> I read a tweet. >> Colts are awesome. Boom. >> Then I scrolled a little bit. Packers. have dominated the Colts yet. I'm like, all right, well, let's mute this. account. >> Did that. I don't need to hear. I don't. need to hear that. Let's go ahead and.

move on. That's preseason, baby. That's. training camp. That's these joint. practices. There's a lot of joint. practices that obviously have h have. been happening and are leading up to. this particular weekend and there's also. a canceled one. I believe the Ravens and. Commanders have canceled their joint. practice due to a schedule and how the. team feels. They said we'll just get. ready for the big game. What's that? Why. are you face like that? >> I don't know if we have it. I'm assuming. we don't. Um, I I I'm not sure if Randy. Orton has the capability to kind of hop. on a football field and put pads on, but.

someone basically got RKO'ed yesterday. I don't know if you saw it. I don't. think you did. There's a massive scrum. between the Ravens and the Commanders at. their during practice. This exactly one guy, one of the guys. that the scrum started with it. It's. It's almost over, you know. It's like. just offense and defense. Both teams. didn't run on. Someone from the Ravens. ran over and grabbed this guy by like. the back of his shoulder pads and. slammed him down.

>> Wear like a bulldog. >> No. No. Like like he was looking this. way. Guy comes from this way. This dude. doesn't see him. Grabs the back of his. jersey and yanks him down. >> to his back or to his face? >> To his back. >> Oh, so it's like a like a break like a. >> just just like it. It was awesome. I. don't know if you can find it. Um, sounds like Yeah. >> Is it a back bump? >> Someone Yeah, it was a back bump by. >> Zena said he found one from two years. ago. >> Oh, nice. >> Let me see it. >> Uhoh. >> Uhoh. What was this? Two years ago.

>> It was a quote tweet. >> Uh, no. The tweet I saw was a quote. tweet from uh It was. >> It was a quote tweet from something. Yeah, cuz that's Emanuel Forbes right. there. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. But we didn't know if this is We. don't know if this ends with you. Uh the. back bump you're talking. >> Oh, there it is. Okay. Okay, there you go. >> So, they have canceled their joint. practices. They were never having any. this year. Uh they decided because of a. delay of a game happening one day later. for the commanders. I believe the Ravens.

put out a statement saying we're trying. to make sure we meet each other at the. >> Someone quote you with that video. That's why I. >> said that's what happened two years ago. >> We know why. >> Yeah, the internet's filled with that. And by the way, that is out there. Good. internet. Yeah. >> Yeah. That's out there at any moment. that that potential situation getting. for sure. But also joint practices. I. heard Max Crosby talking on his podcast. He said, "I have a 100% fight rate at. joint practices." 100%. And they're. they're practicing with the Niners, I. believe. Raiders and Niners are joint. practicing. And he was just openly. talking about like Yeah. because I know.

how this is going to go. And it's just. like a guarantee that there's a fight. We've talked about this numerous time. I. don't know how you don't I don't know. how they if your teams don't fight, it's. almost a bad thing at this point. >> Yeah. Almost every play. If they don't, it's like you guys are your. brother-in-law on each other and you're. going too easy because there's always. especially think about all the drills. you do one-on-one pass rush tackles and. ends and outside rushers. You also. sometimes do one-on-one pass rush with. like inside backers and running backs. that always gets heated and then let. alone you're going you're going 11on 11.

usually to finish those practices. Guys. are getting up dancing in dudes faces. Yeah, you're going to we're going to. fight. >> Yeah. And speaking of brother-in-law and. each other, uh Jeff Schwarz actually. found a clip of the Browns and Eagles, Lane Johnson, Miles Garrett. This is. like a perfect rep. Both of them won. Both of them won. Neither got. embarrassed. Nobody got hurt. Let's move. on. All right, take the helmet off. We. did our rep. Now, let everybody else do. it. That's legit, AJ, between those two. right there. >> Absolutely. I saw when I saw this happen. like that's so perfect. I read the tweet. and then I watched the clip. I'm like,

"Oh, yeah. He he explained that exactly. how I how I would think." But it's true. Two unbelievable professionals going to. the Hall of Fame, taking a rep at the. end of training camp. >> Yeah. And they also I don't think. anything needed to be said either. They. both understood what was going on. Yeah. There was no, "Hey, we're doing this. We're doing this." Miles wanted to work. on a get off, I assume. Which he did. Uh. Lane probably wanted to work on a get. off as well. You want to work a move or. two? Sweet. I'll go ahead and brush you. down a little bit. We both win. There's. a moment where Miles could have got a. sack. Lane can say, "I got a thing.".

Helmet's off, boys. Twos and threes. Good luck the rest of the day. That is I. mean that is a perfectly executed Hall. of Fame practice rep oneonone. >> And then I saw I believe the day after. his surgery Landon Dickerson walked out. on the practice field with a bunch of uh. bunch of beers for the. >> bunch of lights. There was like 10 of. them. >> Browns online just Hey boys, good. practice out there today. >> Yeah. And I love that if Landon's. bringing out beers, okay, he feels. pretty good about where his knees at. >> Yes. >> You know, he's feeling pretty good about. where he's at. Good for him. Good for. the Eagles. And I love that this still.

exists in 2025. AJ, it's a beautiful. thing. >> Yeah, we don't see it too much. That's a. It's a lost art, a thing of the past. I. think the beers in the locker room or on. the field, like it doesn't happen a. whole lot, but we're getting back to it. We're getting back to some of those old. school football things like when we. turned on, you know, when you see the. guys in the 70s smoking sigs and stuff. I don't I don't think it'll quite get. there, but you never know. >> In the kingdom, you're talking about. there's a lot of those types of. highlights from back in the day. Age, I'm telling you, two hours of [ __ ] is. out right now. I wasn't able to watch. the entirety of it because, you know, that's a lot of time uh in one night. It. was literally released yesterday, last.

night. But I can't wait to watch it. I I. like literally cannot wait to dive into. all. If you're like an NFL fan, I think. this is a doc. Not just obviously. Trav and Patrick, >> right? >> Chris Jones. >> Who's always so jovial, but he's given. some real speeches in there. >> Chris Jones given some real speeches in. there. So is Patrick. So is Travis. It's. like a completely different light than. what you see him. It's like, oh yeah, these guys are still animals. We forgot. We forgot that these dudes are still. absolute beasts. These dudes are. competitive freaks and whenever they're.

talking to the team, it's vastly. different than whenever talking to media. or they're having a couple curious. lights out on a golf course. Like it is. you get to see the reason why they are. who they are. I I think it's uh very. well done here early now. Can it get. ruined? >> Absolutely. >> Sure. Certainly can. But I think they. had a hot start from what I saw. >> Like the first episode you really. learned Brett Fech is one of the. smartest guys in the entire NFL when it. comes to just evaluating players. And. then the second episode, Mr. Hunt kind. of mentioned it. It's all Andy Reid. It's like Andy Reid's entire story. It's.

really cool. Bless you, Tony. >> We have huge news out of the college. football world. >> Oh, no. >> Um, Hawaii. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> has approved plans for a new stadium. >> Yeah. >> Have you heard about this? >> Front office sports. >> has reported Hawaii has approved uh. plans to build a new Aloha Stadium. The. state will contribute 400 million for. the new 22,500 seat home of the Rainbow. Warriors football set to be completed in. 2029. Uh, >> every year I'm hoping they get really.

good and there's a game date. >> Oh, sure. >> Every year. >> there's a chance. >> I'm like, come on now, let's go. I've. been out there obviously a lot. I've. been in Hawaii a lot. I run into a lot. of Hawaii fans out there. I think I know. a couple of the assistant coaches. I. think I've run into them at different. places out there. That place is my. favorite island. And uh if it could just. so happen, you know, to accidentally. have to do a couple days out there of. this show leading up to potential. Saturday show out there, it's like it's.

okay that that'd be okay. So, I'm happy. they get a new stadium. I don't know how. they'll ever be successful, you know, like I I know they were. >> Co Brennan. That traveling is insane. And if they're ever able to get good, I. I'll be happy and pumped for the entire. island, but I'm pulling for them. >> I mean, we'll see. You would think and. again it's it's so far out there and a. lot of kids probably don't want to go. out there and be that far away from. their families but like they could be. like the transfer portal capital of the. United like you play decent or whatever. and you're in some cold weather bad area.

not really playing in like the Big 10 or. something. It's like you know what I'm. going to go to Hawaii and let's turn. this thing around. I'm going to enjoy my. last two years of college. Going to be. playing in a beautiful stadium it looks. like. >> I think they um need a mainland base. So, I think they need to do all their. home games straight and then all their. away games straight because it's just. like that's at least six hours. >> At least six hours everywhere. That's. Europe from, you know, Eastern part that. that is a long flight. So, if they were.

able to figure out the they should treat. themselves as a European NFL team. >> They should have a base in they should. have class options there, you know, like, hey, we'll stay on we got a little. campus here. I don't know how you figure. that all out, but I think that's the. only way to do it because of how much. the travel is. plus school, plus. football. It's a lot of things going on, but I I'm pulling for it. >> The NFL should try it. The NFL should. legitimately sponsor that type of idea. just to test to see if it would work for. the London teams that we've talked. about. >> I like that. >> Yeah, cuz then then, you know,

>> we need a white to have a home game, though. If we're going to go out there, we don't need it to be one of their. >> unfortunately say they can't do it. because of school and stuff like that. >> No, but they everything's uh satellite. campus. Yeah. >> Yeah. You just set up a little couple. >> I don't think you have to go to class. anyway. I think mo like you can choose. to take pretty much everything online. >> Oh, I'm sorry. >> AJ, West Virginia, I just want to let. you know. >> student athletes. >> You're student human athlete. Okay. >> I I hope they do. You don't I feel like. kids don't get the full college. experience if you don't have to actually. go on campus a couple times a week. >> School.

>> I should have tried that when I was at. school. >> But you went on for fun. You you went. onto campus for fun. >> I should have tried classes. >> You went to a couple classes. >> I did. I enjoyed some classes. I had. some. >> Rich didn't check your classes. I. thought for sure Rich would check. >> Oh, yeah. He did. Yeah, they did. They. all did. Yeah. Yeah. And then we had to. negotiate. You know, everything's a. negotiation. Everything is a. negotiation. You know, I can't do it. I. don't know what you want me. I'm not a. good morning person. Also, this is the. easiest class of all time. There's no. reason I should be sitting in this. thing. >> Just keep making just keep making them. kicks and we'll figure it out. We got.

>> I will be eligible. I made all Big East. the first. So, when I negotiated the. >> thing, I made the all Big East academic. team that semester. So, I feel like it, you know, kind of stamp of approval. >> Yeah. So then I got myself a little bit. of leeway there. So then I did not ever. make that team again. >> Sure. >> You know, but I did get a little leeway. Never missed the test. You know, I had. certain sociology. Love Nancy Feather. Love that lady. Professor Pat, loved. you, too, dude. I mean, there. >> psychic class. >> Yeah, there was a couple in there that I. really enjoyed. Everything else that I'm.

not coming here to be a doctor of, bro, that we really need to know. Silent film. class. That was great. >> Really enjoyed. >> the artist. >> Yeah, it was the train. The train. robbery. >> Yep. Mhm. >> That's like one of the original ones. >> That's a first class. First uh class cuz. I realized after that first class. >> is probably. >> it's probably aloha, hello and goodbye, you know, >> for that particular class. Uh and it was. fun though. Yeah. I I I should have. experienced the education part of school. more though. I look back and think about.

that. But these kids today, they don't. even have to. I mean, you just open your. computer. >> I hope they get to hang out. I hope they. get to hang out and go to a bar every. once in a while. That's all I hope. Give. them a give them a chance. >> Have a beer with the lads. >> Yeah. Obviously. They are. They are. It's coming back. >> Yeah. >> Speaking of coming back, I'll see you. guys in a while. The boys though will be. back with surprise guest host. >> Whoa. >> Yeah. You guys will see it on Monday. Where do I be? I don't know. >> Huh? >> Maybe we'll do a little guessing game. >> Oh, like that. >> Where is the [ __ ].

>> Ash. >> It's far. >> Yes. >> I love you all. Goodbye. I will be back. obviously in time for season, but there. will be an extended amount of time where. I will be in places unknown. >> Where in the world is Patrick M? >> Yeah, that's a great question. Is it in. the world? >> Have you thought about that? >> I haven't thought about that. >> He's going to the space station world. >> What do you mean. >> that's the world? >> ISS. >> There's a lot going on. There's This is. an incredibly cool opportunity and I'm. very thankful for it and lucky for it. Uh don't know if I'm prepared enough for.

it, but I've tried my best. you and Ia. >> maybe now now's the time to. >> be you going overseas to get a bunch of. elective surgeries. >> head to Turkey get some new hair. that might be that might be where I that. might be where. >> go to Egypt. >> uh might go see the pyramids you know. >> I think it was uh. was it Despicable Me where uh they give. away that the pyramids are just. inflatable. >> Yes. >> First scene. >> Yeah, because they he stole it.

>> What's that? Yeah, he stole it. >> and left it with an inflatable one and. that fat ass [ __ ] fell on it and. >> grew, man. >> That kid though, the kid, he had a. harness on it. He broke the harness. >> Yeah, he was a real piece. His parents. were kind of. >> Yeah, but he had a relentless I mean, we. should really think about that kid's. mentality whenever we I'm sure you don't. know what we're talking about right now. cuz your kids are a little bit older. >> That's me. I've seen I've seen them all, but I I take it to the theater, I fall. asleep usually, so I don't really follow. the story line too much. >> All right. All right, kids. What do you.

want? We will. >> Well, you know, it's great. Whatever the. new whatever the newest one, hey, let's. do it, guys. Let's go. But, you know, the seats lay all the way back. I'm. going to take a 45minute nap at some. point in that movie. >> I'll say Despicable Me does keep you cuz. the music is great. >> Yeah, The Minions, too. >> The Minions are incredible. >> Yeah, for real, right? >> Despicable Me is good. What else? Yeah, Hotel Transennsylvania. >> Yeah, >> has got us through for a while. >> Lot of anime. >> Have you seen Sing yet? Cuz I know. you're a Netflix guy. >> Love Sing. Greatest Showman. Hey, >> what do you mean? I was watching Sing.

while we were putting together Big Night. Out and he's trying to put together a. show. That's what he's trying to do. Yeah, it was uh that was a really cool. thing for McKenzie could never. understand what was going on. But like, hey, your your dad is literally doing. what is in this movie right now? Uh just. with, you know, sumo wrestlers as. opposed to just singers in there. So, uh. it's been a good time. >> Have you guys do dove into Pixar yet? >> Uh we did Toy Story. She was a big fan. >> That's right. >> She loved Toy Story. Nemo. >> You haven't gone in Nemo. That'll be a.

big. >> Nemo is an A1. >> Yeah, that feels like that is very. >> It is. >> stimulating. >> Yeah. Monsters Inc. >> We watch Journey 2. >> That's big. >> Who? >> Journey 2. >> The center of the earth. >> with Brennon Fraser. >> with Mysterious Island. You were talking. about uh The Rock. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah, sure. >> It was made in 2012. That popped up on. Netflix. Thought it was a new movie. I'm. like, The Rocks in a new [ __ ] kids. movie? >> I go, this is Uncle Final Boss here. And then I turned it on, you know, and.

it was clearly 2012. Clearly, I mean, it. was there was really nothing that. McKenzie was looking for in that, you. know, it was. >> Sure. >> We're going to have to wait a few years. Story was good, though. >> Oh, yeah. >> They were going on a hunt to find. something. Mysterious Island. Obviously, he's stepdad. Stepboy does not like him. until they kind of fall in love with the. same thing. >> I've never heard this movie. >> Popped up on Netflix. It was the number. two show on kids Netflix uh yesterday, and I'm like, "Holy [ __ ] The Rocks got. a number two show on Netflix. How how. come we never talk about Moana, we talk. about we don't want to talk about this.

>> No, >> they just I guess Netflix just got this. And I'll tell you what, that feels like. a platform that if you get on there. >> Yeah. >> Right to the top. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. >> People are just looking for [ __ ] you. know, on Netflix. >> Have you shown her Tommy Boy yet? >> She's not seen Tommy Boy yet. We She. does know Adam Sandler that very well. So she seen. >> Tommy Boy. I think I think Tommy Boy. Chris Farley any era, any generation, he. he works, which makes me very happy. I I. have she has seen Letterman his entrance. on Letterman. >> Okay. >> So, she does know of Chris Farley, which.

she certainly will as she continues to. grow older. She will understand the. greats before she was around and all. She's got a lot of rhythm. I I don't. know if that's all B like that's my. thing. >> Never really wanted to be around kids, you know, like ever. And then remember I. I had that book on how to be a dad. was. going to teach me about a bunch of kids, but she came two weeks early and I was. going to read that, >> you know, like uh maybe a week out. So, fresh fresh on my mind. So, I never got. to read. So, I don't know really. anything about the development and where.

and all that. And I'll keep the updates. and she passed the speech thing. Okay, that's great news. She's doing this. She. Yeah, we're hitting all the milestones, I think, whatever it is. But like, she. can really keep a beat. Like, she is. actually rhythmic and loves music. I. assume that's every kid because I kind. of see the way it goes. But she will go. right into the middle of a group and. start dancing and everything like that. >> Might have a little, you know, she's a. child star, but she ain't going to be a. child star, you know. >> Sure. >> She's going to be a star, but she's.

going to play sports first and. >> be a child first. >> Exactly. She's going to have a good. time. A lot of temptation out there. these days. >> All these decisions Marcus Spears was. talking about his kid, both his kids. All these people just so many ideas at. this moment. Think about all the ideas. we get pitched. >> Just some of them completely ass. Somebody want us to do a 10,000 things. for very limited amount of money. And. I'm 38 years old at this point of career. and have seen all of these contracts for. a long time now. And it's like somebody. tried to get me with a [ __ ] terrible.

contract. And it's like couldn't even. imagine what they're doing to 15, 16. year olds at this point. That's scary, AJ. All of that's very scary. >> That's I mean taking advantage of kids. and their parents and their family who's. trying to help them. They're all trying. to navigate it and figure it out in real. time. So, yeah. I don't I don't get it. I don't know. The good thing is like if. you're good, they'll find you. You'll. figure it out. >> Look at this. This is cool, right? Your. family's never had this. >> Don't worry about. >> We own you and everyone that's coming. after you. >> Yeah. This what we're expecting out of. you, though. Don't worry. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Eyes.

We also need you to just read through. that. >> Excuse me. Has. anybody ever agreed to something like. this? Just need to know. Call a couple. people. Hey, have you guys agreed to. these types? Why why are these deals. allowed to exist? What What is this? What has happened here? We would. obviously never suggest that somebody. should call to another agency. Are you. guys agreeing to these [ __ ] deals? Why are these people think that this is. okay? This cannot be something that. people think is okay. We would obviously.

never Okay. All right. >> So, yeah. >> Okay. So, I don't know who's allowing. these to be a thing, but we need to stop. that. We need to make sure we. understand. But also, if you want to. grind away and make a little bit of. money, I guess those opportunities are. out there. I couldn't imagine as a. teenager having to deal with all that. [ __ ]. >> Yeah. >> Good luck, Mackenzie. >> I'm pulling for you. Can. >> you imagine? What if you're a teenager? What if you're a teenage kid and you. have a staff of like, you know, how. these guys have managers and bodywork. people? >> Cool. >> No, but I'm saying what if you have all. these people in high school and you.

don't even get one offer. You don't even. have an opportunity to play in college. That probably happens. >> Oh, yeah. That happens. You think all. the money's wasted on that and then. they're in debt now forever? >> I I don't know if they use the entire. team for the entire four years, but I'm. assuming there are definitely kids who. after their second or third year of high. school are like, "Okay, clearly you're. not going to. >> Is Jake firing these people? Who's. firing them?". >> I Yeah. Is it. >> What if they're not good? >> Is it a till college type deal where. it's like, "Hey, we'll take care of you.

and then you. >> By the way, it is work for Jake Rule. We're not saying that that's uh. something that's wrong. I think. >> it's good for these guys that are really. good players. Yeah. But I'm saying all. of them aren't going to be superstars. >> and all these coaches aren't going to be. good coaches. Like the um. >> I think Jay Cruel had three sacks on. three consecutive plays in one of the. series last night for IMG. I think he. had four or five sacks. I I forget what. it was to start the season. That's game. one. I mean, let alone what he's about. to do going forward. That's insane. numbers. That's like basketball numbers. How much he average? Uh he averaged like. a five and five. What was it? Uh five.

sacks, five swats. What was that? One. get one game. Yeah, that's just some of. these dudes are outrageous, but I assume. some of these coaches are ass. And it's. like, can a high school player just fire. them? I I don't know how who those deals. go through. >> I mean, I would assume so. I also wonder. how much of that stuff is IMG adjacent. Like, he probably maybe had a couple, but I wonder if once you go to IMG, obviously, like they're they're. preparing kids to go play college. football and college sports. So, I. wonder how much of that is like once he. gets there, hey, we have this guy you. can work with. We have this guy you can.

work with. We have this guy you can work. with. Like I don't know. >> What about the other guy? >> The other guy is always there. >> The other guy is always there. >> Jeff Gardinor J. Mark G1 1962 feels like. quick math. He is 63 years of age. He. says IMG five-star edge Jay Cruel. Oklahoma commit talks about his first. his multiple sack effort. Just say how. many sacks so we could all know. Jeff, next time please. including three. straight in one drive. So. >> So he had like 10 sacks. >> I don't know. Yeah, that could be. anywhere from I literally saying four or.

five. It could if he got three and three. straight plays, I assume the rest of the. series were pretty easy for him as well. Jay Cruel currently has 14 sacks. >> Leads the country through one. >> and it would make sense after watching. his film. How about the show of the. hands dip thing that he did just like so. smooth right to the your mind. Thank. you. He's got to just be toying with. people out there. Is this from last. night? >> Oh, you can't be scrambling with Jake. Cru on your side there. >> His pass rush his pass rush clips always.

pop up in my algorithm. You heard me. I. stumbled through it. >> Yeah, it's easy for us all to say. I've. had a few of those this week. Don't love. it. Hopefully that'll go away on this. >> man. His motor. I love his motor to go. with his skill set, too. Like the dude. is relentless. >> Yeah. And his he does the eye black. around the eyes. So, I think that's kind. of his thing. Like it looked as if in. the in the video he does the eye black. around the eyes. Love the little moxy. Do what you got to do. Starts going with. different colored contacts. Let's start. talking. What was the guy? The whiteos. There he is. >> And Bosch the best.

>> Never forget walking out to the. captain's thing. >> Scariest human ever to be on a football. field. Maybe. >> I literally just stared the entire time. We want kicked that way. It's a dome. It. doesn't really matter. >> Is that every game? Ah, of course we're. not talking. Yeah. Guy's got red contacts in. All right, Robert, if I can call it right. Yep. This dude's got red contacts. So.

then handshake after boom, bang, right. through to him. That's awesome. All. right, I'll see you. No games, no. nonsense. >> He didn't give you like a. >> nothing. [ __ ] it. He didn't I don't even. know if he noticed I was there. I I. still don't know if he knew that I was. there. I honestly have no idea. But I. was certainly intrigued by it all. There. was another one with Adrien Peterson. I. mean, those captain's coin tosses, I. used to really take in the entire. experience. Really used to explore the. space whenever I'd go out there. Adrien. Peterson got them in a handshake. >> Was prepared for that moment. He was.

not. He did not know what was coming. I. did. Let me go and [ __ ] sneak in. there. Boom. Gotcha. Boom. Thought so. Thought so. Um, that's uh that was a gift from either. ESPN or the KC Chiefs. Yeah, that little. uh. >> locker. >> locker thing right there. There's an. album inside of it. And this football. was inside of it. So, um. >> this thing incredible. >> It's like a baby Duke. Baby actual baby.

baby Duke here. This is real lever here. >> Looks like it. >> Lamar Hunt would love seeing these. things sold. >> Oh, man. >> How about talking about the draft scene? Hey, Lamar would have loved the draft. He was like, >> "Yeah, >> yes, he would have. That Lamar guy, dude. Innovator. Legit. sports. innovator. >> People don't know that. That's why I. hope with this documentary hopefully it. shows people that hey yeah this guy they. don't I guess he's not spoken at least I. don't know is he nationwide as the guy. that like did so much for the NFL. I.

will say growing up in Pittsburgh. obviously you hear the Lamar Hunt trophy. like you know that for the AFC. Championship but it's never really. followed up with like hey the reason why. >> by the way. >> but all of this basically uh this guy. without him cuz the commissioner talking. at the time Bert Rail. >> uh the NFL commissioner. >> what's his name. >> Bert Bell. >> Bert Bell there it is I was trying to. see the name rail I didn't see the. bottom there's. >> Bert Bell he was We don't need.

expansion. >> Yeah. >> We don't got enough talent. What are you. talking about? They'll ruin the league, kill the NFL. And that he was trying to, you know, it's like you need guys like. that in a lot and women like that in a. lot of different worlds to try to get to. where you're headed. And it's like I. think football fans should be a little. bit more thankful for Lamar Hunt than we. cuz I mean Pittsburgh town uh football. town, >> Ohio football place. >> Oh yeah. New England football. >> Did you know I didn't? >> No idea. >> None of us knew it. >> Not not a clue. And I think it all goes. into, oh, it's Chiefs.

>> Yeah. >> Like, who cares? Especially for a large. part of our childhood, they weren't that. great, >> you know? So, it's like, ah, it's. Chiefs. >> We had the Rooney, so it didn't really. didn't. >> Exactly. That's how football fans feel. It's like, >> did they bet on horse racing, get enough. money to buy? >> I don't think so. I don't want to hear. it. It's like, no, this guy actually. just wrote out the entire [ __ ]. business plan of the NFL. Uh, pretty. good guy. That's what's insane is that. like what he has done for football and. because of like us and how connected we. are to football, it's easier to like.

understand. It feels like and granted I. only read a couple things. It feels like. he did just as much for tennis as he has. done for the NFL. The the open era. tennis which is what it is now. He. essentially created it is how is how. they framed it at least um on his page. on Wikipedia that he was the creator of. open air tennis. >> Happy American heroes getting uh you. know kind of showcased a little bit. especially for our sport and our game. Oh yeah. >> All right AJ maybe you're one of the. surprise guest hosts live here in.

>> maybe possibly. >> Who are the guest hosts going to be. while I am out doing something um. >> that is a huge honor. I can't say stress. this enough like uh non-turnboundable. thing I think. >> Yeah, for sure. >> Now, is it timeconsuming? >> Sure. Hey, you know what? Anything worth. two salts is going to be a little. timeconsuming. >> Amen. Ain't that the truth. >> Amen. >> Mhm. >> I love you all. I appreciate you all. Hold it down, please. And when football.

season starts back up, >> we're off and running. >> Train. We are. I might be a complete different person. when I come back. >> You might be. There's a chance. >> Probably. >> have to be prepared for that. >> Have to be prepared for that. >> I have. Have you? >> Mhm. Mhm. >> I just thought about it. >> What? >> You need to start thinking that. >> We're all going to be different people. though when you get back. Just cuz. >> Oh, please. >> Probably going to be so much happier cuz. football have third. >> No.

>> Or technically. Yeah. I guess not yet. Unless. >> Unless it has. >> Ah, keep guessing. >> Who knows? >> Interesting. This is the stupidest life of all time. We thank you all so much. Be your. friend. Tell a friend something nice. that might change your life. We're in. this thing together. A lot of preseason. football going on. Let's enjoy it all. Let's enjoy this life.
