[Music]. the Following program is a collection of. stooges talking about happenings in the. sports world. It is meant to be comedic. informative. 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 Cubans is the real. world talk. If you are a young, please.

seek permission before watching any. further. Hey, let's go. This show stinks and the fact that you. listen, we are very, very thankful. On. the line with a gorgeous assist, the. alltime leading tackler for the Green. Bay Packers, you pick. Damn it. Your friend, tell a friend. something nice could change their life.

[Applause]. Hello, beautiful people. and welcome to. our humble abode. The Thunderdome on. this feel-good Friday, June 27th, 2025. This program begins right now. [Music]. are happening all around us. The last. two nights, we saw the next generation. of potential NBA superstars. Congrats to. everybody that got drafted and got. two-way deals into the NBA. Now, Ace. Bailey and the Utah Jazz is certainly.

something that's going to be monitored. We had Ryan Smith, the owner of the Utah. Jazz, on yesterday and he said, "We're. going to love the hell out of you, buddy. Whenever you get out here, just. know that we're going to support him. We. got selfless veterans here. We have an. entire staff. We have a state that's. ready for you." That's what Ryan Smith. said. Then last night during the second. round of the draft, they were chitchat. about how there's still maybe a little. bit of a disagreement on where he's. going to play, what he's going to do. Uh, from what I have heard, it seems. like the people that are in the know, we'll talk to Shawn Shirania here in. about 105 minutes or so to kind of wrap. up all the NBA news from this week, which there has been a plethora of, from.

what everybody's saying in the NBA. world, this guy's kind of stuck. Like, hey, this is uh you're unless Utah Jazz. decide to trade you. Like, you're kind. of stuck or you can sit out and come. back next year. You'll miss out on I. think $9 million is what the uh rookie. contract was for the fifth overall pick. or something. 40 million in total. So, I'll be excited to hear what Sham says. And also, I'll be excited to see a face. who's seemingly a dog. I mean, every all. accounts dog on the basketball court. I'll be excited to see what his uh. thoughts are on Utah if he gets out. there and experiences it a little bit.

You know, Utah obviously not a big city. Okay. Uh Utah is not like uh considered. a big market. Uh but I think if you were. to go there like we were able to do, you. would feel that the entire state is on. your side. Like the the entire place is. here for you. in uh small markets I. think are kind of a thing of the past. anyways with the day the way modern. technology is and the way things are. shared and what content matters what. clips don't matter Oklahoma City and. Indiana Pacers obviously go on a. sevengame NBA final series and the.

ratings inevitably end up 10%. year-over-year all that matters is good. basketball and if you do well and. accomplish everything you want to do for. the Utah Jazz which is what Ryan Smith. said he said he can accomplish. everything he's ever dreamed of here we. can win here he can make a lot of money. here we can do everything he can be the. king here he can do everything he wants. to do here. Hopefully, he'll be able to. experience that and if not, drama to. keep Shams's thumbs active. We'll talk. to him in about 13 minutes. In the. second hour, uh we'll have uh our weekly. wrap-up with Rap Sheet and Friends. Uh.

us being the friends he be and rap sheet. Ian Rapaort talking about the NFL news. because there is some NFL news that came. out this week. And then tonight, obviously, big deal because the next. generation of NHL superstars happen as. the NHL draft is this evening. So, sports are happening. It's certainly. offseason. Hey, it is certainly an. offseason conversation. We've been very. thankful to the basketball community for. allowing us to do basketball shows. You. know, in the past, obviously, we are. football doofuses. Mhm. Guilty. Sure. As. charged.

every day, brother. Whatever. It just it. continues to give, too, isn't it? Oh, there's a new uh renovation deal in. Cincinnati, right? Let's talk about. that. I mean, at the NFL, we appreciate. uh the hell out of, but we never been. able to really do basketball cuz we. didn't really know the basketball world. Also, we didn't have access to Eclipse, didn't have access to anything really in. the basketball world other than former. players that we were maybe friends with, but did they have the, you know, like. the whole thing. So, this year getting a. chance to be like welcomed into the NBA. and having an opportunity to cover. basketball and chitchat. I mean, you. talk about Q Rich, uh, you talk about.

UD, obviously, you talk about Jamal. Crawford, uh, you talk about everybody. that kind of help perk coming on. afterwards, and then obviously the. Pacers helping us out and Adam Silver. wanting us to be a part of it. It's like. basketball is really cool. Yeah. Feels. like it's over. Yeah, certainly. Now it. is. Well, free agency uh free agency. starting, so maybe it's not. Oh, yeah. But all the big name Well, because most. craziest. Yeah, we still got Giannis out. there, you know. We don't know what's. going to happen with that. There will. probably be a couple other guys. NHL. draft tonight. Let's have a We got a. couple big things. Uh that's the tops.

the table at Boston Conor at Tai. Schmidt. You two. dressed perfectly for the occasion. Casual Friday, man. You get it? It's not. casual. It seems like a cool Friday. There ain't nothing casual about this, brother. I don't I don't know. Speak for. your half of the talk since this is cool. Friday if if you have a leather jacket. Hey, no hat on either, huh, Bub? I told. you maybe there's other iterations with. this jacket. It's been calling to me. like the Green Goblin mask since I put. it on on Wednesday. Truly, it's been. calling to me since I laid my eyes on.

it, as you guys can tell. But yeah, I. had to. I didn't even to be honest, I. didn't want to, but I had to. Well, that. jacket chose you obviously, and I. thought maybe you'd go clean shave with. a mustache. And then let's go to another. uh clothing item that has really. captivated you guys over there without a. doubt. That yard goats right there. That's a good hat. It's the best hat. that's ever been created. But how about. this shirt? Yeah. You know, uh I wore. another shirt in today that was nice, but I uh looked at myself in the mirror.

and I was like, "This is kind of tight. I kind of look like a fatso in this.". So, I'm not going to wear this. You. know, I took it off and I said, "Well, what's that?" That's a big league 2. Aaron Judge tea. Give me that thing. Not. very many people have this. It's a great. shirt. And I think the best part about. it is the hat really compliments the. shirt. Grand slam grape. Exactly. Yeah. Great flavor. Um, you know, Big League. Juice still doing it out there. Certainly. Big time. Certainly. Really? People still smacking bags? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Really? People smack bags. Big. League Chew still smacking bags.

Smacking bags and chomping jaws, you. know, per usual. But uh the only thing I. will say about big league chew is it's. very easy to go through a bag in I don't. know six minutes, you know, kind of just. chew that thing like an [ __ ] And. every once in a while if you get one. that's too dusty a little bit too that's. not good. But if you get a good big. league chew bag, wow, what a time. You're in heaven. You're the [ __ ] of the. walk. Yeah, exactly. You're not the only. one that has a big league chew shirt on. I don't know if you looked in the back. Zoto's got a Paul Ske one on. So it. feels like I'm not 100% sure. Okay. I'm. not 100% sure. I should keep track more.

of the packages that get delivered to. the Thunderdome. I do appreciate what we. have going on now where it's like every. couple weeks. There's a unboxing that. happens here and then there is a. decision to be made on whether this goes. immediately into the trash can or it. gets a chance to hang around for a. couple days then go immediately to the. trash can. Exactly. The Big League Chew. popped up out of nowhere. Shout out to. Big League Chew sending us [ __ ] It had. to come from them, right? Yes, it did. It did. They have some sort of deal with. the MLB Players Association. So, I think. they sent uh Yuan Diggs one with a uh.

the Paul Skins and I believe. unfortunately Connor got one with. Raphael Deers who has since been traded. from the Red Sox. Oh, so that's like a. collectible now. Yeah, collectible. I. don't know. It's I don't think it's. worth much. Thanks a lot, Big League. Chew. It would look good underneath that. jacket. Uh I disagree. I think, you. know, underneath this jacket, hair looks. good, too, Bob. Thank you very much. Underneath this jacket, it's really just. not what it's even about, you know. It's. really just about What's on the back of. that jacket? A lot of people are asking. Are are we are we revealing it or I mean.

I don't know. I It's on you, brother. A. lot of people are saying, "Oh, look, it's it's the Greece uh you know uh. T-Irds thing, something like that." I. don't know what that is. I don't know. You're the one that I want. Who? I don't. know. You know that. That's not That's. not this jacket. This This is a. different jacket. Completely different. from You're the one that I want. Who? Okay. So, I don't know why that was the. assumption, but maybe maybe we'll reveal. it at the end of the show. Again, I I. don't know. I don't like to turn around. in it cuz I love seeing my You're.

telling me that's not uh that's not a. Thunderbirds that's on a T-irds jacket? No. No. God, what is this? What is this? 1988? No, this isn't a T-irds jacket. Not Zuko, huh? Look, Danny Zuko. Granted, what everything that Danny Zuko. did after the film and as his life. progressed, not sure. But that movie, I. mean, 10 out of 10. I'm I am a Zuko guy. I I will say I do respect his style. I. think you look amazing. The hair looks. great, too. I think that is first time. the world has gotten to see since you've. grown out the side. Yeah, this I last.

week I I I had No for a couple days, but. the the they're finally, you know, going. behind the ears, the wings, cuz you were. transitioning from mullet cut, which is. a fade here, to just full long hair to. just long hair. Yeah. And even now, like. at some point I will cut this down to. kind of shape it all and then continue. to grow it all. Oh, like a cool shape. There's a guy named Mickey who does uh. he's a barber for the WWE. You'll never. be able with that leather jacket. Maybe. he's coolest looking guy I've ever seen.

Okay. Okay. He owns quills. If we're. back at the old place, he walks in there. and everybody says, "Wow, that's the. coolest looking guy I've ever seen." He. has long hair that is like uh the way it. is would be great. It would be a great. bucket for the way it sets. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That that's kind of where because. right now I I didn't realize this. My. hair is pretty long. Yeah. You've been. doing this a long time. You've been at. it. Congratulations. Yeah. A long time. So I I think once this the side gets to. a uh level that I like it at, then I can. kind of cut all the hair to the side. length and then we can kind of reset.

this mark. That jacket going to be able. to survive summer. H. No doubt about it. In here, brother. Yeah. This jacket is. going to be able to survive just fine. This is going to be every Friday for the. rest of my life. It's been real hot. outside. It has like 102 or something. yesterday. Said it felt like we're out. there in the gaze. Humid, humid, thick. out there. It's a wonderful time. NHL. drafts tonight. Come on. The future. We're talking big league chewing. baseball. Exactly. One half of the hammer. Cowboys AP.

Tony's here. Super cool hat. Thank you. Uh this was a gift from uh the one. Taylor Lewan. Really? Yeah. Sang great. national anthem the other day. He did. I. I saw him one time. I said that's a. really cool hat. And he said it's yours, brother. That's the type of guy he is. Oh, he took that off his head in uh. Columbus, maybe. Oh, maybe he brought it. here. No, he gave it to me to give Gave. it to you to give to me. I think it was. in Columbus. We're walking down the. street, I think, if I'm if I'm not. mistaken. You guys went to Herby's uh. steakhouse, got a Herby. Yeah, I think. we did. Great gift from Taylor the One. Yeah, he's a good guy. I will say.

traveling with it pain in the ass. But I. knew, hey, it's a good gift that he's. coming to coming to Tone Digs there. You. look really cool. Tonight, uh the NHL. draft. There are no odds for the first. overall pick. And we think there is a. chance. It's because uh this guy Matthew. Schaefer is such an odds on favorite to. be the number one overall pick. But the. guy far back corner there. Oh, Hagen. dog. Hagens, sorry, plural. He's from. Long Island. The Islanders have the. number one overall pick. So, there's a. lot of people thinking that there's a. chance maybe the hometown kid gets.

drafted. But Matthew Schaefer supposed. to be the guy who's supposed to go. tonight. NHL drafts. Very rarely do we. have any clue who any of these guys are. Very, very rarely. Normally from other. obviously Hagens being from Long. Island's a big deal. That's America. I. think there's a couple other Americans. up there, too. But normally, uh, these. first overall picks are from either. somewhere in Canada or they're from a. country over way over there in the super. cold part of town. Correct. And so. whenever they get drafted, hockey. purists know the names, but most people. don't unless it's like a generational.

talent. Like uh when old Buddy Bard was. coming out for Chicago a couple years. ago, like this one could be this guy. could be the guy. That really hasn't. happened this year with this draft. I. haven't heard like, "Hey, potential the. guy." But everybody that gets drafted in. the NHL is [ __ ] good. Like everybody. they all have a they all have an. opportunity to be like very very good. It's a I think their hit rate's probably. a little bit better. Yeah. the. generational guy is next year. uh you. mentioned with Badard and you know. McDavid before that and [ __ ] Crosby like.

those guys the dude that's considered in. almost that kind of pantheon. generational yeah is next year uh. McKenna but that Hagens kid he he played. at BC from Long Island and you remember. that camera that the Atlanta Falcons had. that was above and they were following. Bejian Robinson and it just showed him. cuz they were following like the. football and it was on a run. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Atlanta. Yeah, bingo. Yeah, they did that with Hagens during a BC. game. Um, and I don't I don't think it.

was centered on the puck. I think it was. centered on him. And he is ridiculous. the way he kind of they're all so good. seemingly, especially like in college. hockey cuz a lot of the times they're. getting drafted from, you know, the. Canadian League or the, you know, OHL, whatever the hell it is. And and you. it's it's hard to tell like when with BC. it being college hockey, knowing who. they're playing and everybody and. sometimes if it's a top five team in the. country or whatever, like Hagen's he. holds up. He can have the puck in the. offensive zone for as long as the. Penguins did against the Blackhawks. Three shifts. Three shifts. Yeah. And on.

his own like he is guy's got the dangers. dangler. And if I remember correctly, he's got some size too. I think he might. be a little bit of a big son of a [ __ ]. The uh the Matthew Schaefer kid actually. played with McKenna on the Canadian. national team or whatever uh the youth. squad. But if he gets drafted number one. tonight, he will be the first player. since Conor McDavid to go number one in. the affforementioned OHL draft. and. number one in the NHL draft. That's. Schaefer highlights right there. He. played for the Eerie Otters. Uh don't. look now. You know who else played for.

the Eerie Otterers? Who? McDavid. Wow. Huh. How about it? Is that right, Nick? I just got that one right. That is uh. also Stanley Cup champion front of the. program. Mike Rop played for the Erie. Otter. Grew up there, I think, if I uh do. recall. Did high school. The hockey. journey to professional is wild. It's a. It's one where most kids get up and. leave their houses in high school and go. live elsewhere either atmies or in. people's houses. They're literally. living at uh like like a foreign. exchange student. They're they're coming.

in to play hockey either in these junior. leagues or these semi-professional. leagues. Some guys go to college. Obviously, the Frozen 4 is obviously. electrifying every single year, but. hockey will find you. If you're playing, there is an avenue to get there. And uh. as a Pittsburgh Penguins fan, I. obviously had gotten a chance to learn. about some hilarious NHL draft stories. when if Danny Malcin was drafted number. one overall out of Russia. And uh there. was like real conversation immediately. about like we don't know if he's ever. going to be able to get here. And like. what do you mean? Like well his.

contract's pretty tied up in Russia and. uh you know there's some real worry. allegedly got smuggled out of the. country to get to Pittsburgh and then. his family had to do the same thing to. get to Pittsburgh. His family was. obviously beloved, but it was like a. storyline that was like, is this guy. even going to be able to get here? Like. I think in the NBA there's a lot of. European guys that have been getting. drafted. For hockey, it's always been. like got to deal with that league, too. Got to make it all happen. And uh I'm. excited to see what the NHL does. tonight. And now Nick, what are some. storylines we need to look into this.

evening if it's not just the draft. prospects that maybe none of us know any. names of other than the hockey purist. people? Yeah, you mentioned uh the. prospects and all the kids' dreams come. true being selected tonight. Uh one of. the things is this is the year the NHL. is doing a decentralized draft. So. normally when the NHL is a draft, all. the GMs player or all the GMs players, uh front office people, they're all in. the building together. This year they're. doing it kind of like how the NFL does. it where they have their draft room set. up in their facilities. So, it's a. little bit different. Normally, they'd.

all be on the floor mingling and. chatting and uh kind of you can see them. doing business with each other because. at the draft a lot of trades happen. So, you see uh an opportunity for a lot of. veteran players to get moved. Right now, Noah Dobson is the guy for the New York. Islanders that a lot of guys are. speculating will be traded. He's a. 25-year-old defenseman. He's a power. play quarterback. He's offensively. talented from the back end. Makes a. great first pass. Uh he's going to. command somewhere between 10 or 11. million a year on his next contract. So,

we're looking for a trade and then a big. big extension for Noah Adoptson right. now. Some of the teams reportedly in the. mix. You got Montreal Canadiens, uh the. Columbus Blue Jackets, and the St. Louis. Blues all sniffing around. Uh, and. people speculate if the Islanders are. able to get some more picks back in this. Doppson trade, they may move up again. into the top 10 and try and get uh, James Hagens, the Long Island kid, a. little bit later. Okay, love to hear. that. Thank you for the breakdown. I. mean, I feel like I just uh, I know. exactly what's going to happen this. evening. The Noah Dobson trade feels.

like everybody agrees that that's going. to happen. I noticed that you missed one. of the talking points under the. potential storylines. The road to Lord. Stanley's Cup coming back to Pittsburgh. starts tonight. Yeah, I have it on good. authority of Kyle Dubis. Okay. The new. general manager. Yeah. Dupus. That's not. his name. His name is Dubis. D U B- A. Dubis. Yep. I hope he smacks you the. mouth next time. No. No. He's not a. doofus. He's a young superstar. A young. legend. A man who's been tasked with. rebuilding and retooling a legendary. franchise. And it starts tonight. And.

he's going to get it right. Don't you. worry about what happens out there. The. road to Lord Stanley Cup coming back to. the south side of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Starts tonight with a. draft. That's what people are talking. I. We're just telling you what people are. talking. Yeah. Starts tonight and ends. when Dupus gets fired because when that. happens, then maybe Dubis was very good. though. I I'm a huge Dubis guy. Unfortunately, I I know I I'm staring. down what maybe you guys are too blind. to see. Okay. He he he has a great. draft. Oh my god. He he gets a bunch of.

good players. You know what happens? What? The Penguins finished below 500. What? And then, hey, Dupus did. Well, let's not let's not just throw out what. Dupus did. Diss. Let's not throw out what Dupus did for. us all year. Okay. Let's not do that. Can I ask you a question, Pat? Next. year. Hold on. Hold on. Let me let me. get to the end of the road. And no, we. didn't trade away the starts. Yeah. No, not yet. That wasn't uh You get to that. next season and now Now we're in 2020. Now we're in the next draft. Yeah. Yeah. Now we're in the next draft again.

Dupus, amazing. It's it's it's so good. Bruins end up with the number one pick. They get Gavin McKenna. You you do Dupus. and the boys. You guys probably have 10. And then that year, not good. It's just. a farewell tour for Sydney Crosby. All. of a sudden, Crosby, Malcolin's already. gone by this point because this is his. last year. Crosby. Uh then he he. retires, sails off into the sunset. It's. a very good celebration. Then Dupus, coach, uh bald coach, weirdo guy. Muse. Muse. Yeah. Dan. Dan Muse. Both of them.

are gone. He's not weary. He's a good. guy. He's a good coach. Full-blown re I. guess he's a Boston guy actually. So, yeah, he is probably a good guy. But. full-blown rebuild starts then after. Crosby. Then the road to Pittsburgh's. next Stanley Cup starts. You have no. idea. Sydney Crosby is coming back. Shut. up. Hey, is that Pasta jersey still. hanging up there? It is. And he's still. on the team. We should get that down. because they might trade him this. weekend. So, that's not happening. That's not happening. You know, get rid. of Mari. Get rid of pasta. If they get. rid of by by.

that's what the Boston Bruins are known. as. Bye-bye Boston Bruins. They're. saying bye-bye to all the Boston Bruins. Look, first of all, the Marian trade. looking back at it. Not a bad trade. Okay. Got a Stanley Cup representative. for the Boston Bruins. Marian won a. Stanley Cup. I'm happy for him as [ __ ]. And guess what? The Bruins got a first. round pick. So, uh, trade a 37y old who, you know, has two, four years left, but. not with Boston. you know, get a first. round pick or let him walk at the end of. the season. What does what does Don. Sweeney do? I don't know. Your team, Don.

Sweeny, I guess. I guess well, looking. back, all of a sudden, hold on, Dom, what did you know? You know, that that's. what I'm thinking. The guy, but but. again, the foundation, just like the. Celtics, the Bruins got their. foundation. It's pasta makavoy and the. sway man. What if going pasta's not. going anywhere? Pasta said hold the. pasta. They say said that if it was. allowed he would change his nationality. to Massachusetts. So would that would he play for our. Olympic team? Then he would play for. team USA. That's right. Okay. I'm cool. with that. Okay. Sydney Crosby did.

petition to be a American in the next. Super Duper World Games. Yep. What's. happening? The NB NHL did something. cool. They got the eight nations super. cup. Yeah, they want to do a World Cup. of hockey again in 2028, I believe. Love. that. Four nations on juice. Yeah, Pittsburgh's trying to host it, I think, if I'm not mistaken. Pittsburgh's like, "Hey, come on into town. Let's go ahead. and uh let's go ahead and do this World. Cup of hockey here in hockey. Let's get away from Do you guys have a. team still?" Yes, we have a team. Okay. And doofus, you guys have picks 112. His.

name is Dubus. Guess who has pick 13? You guys better not mess that one up cuz. Stevie Eiserman, he's going to find the. next Stevie Eiserman. Hey, when's that? All right. He's still. there. That's what's going to happen. He's still there. All right. Good luck. to all the hockey teams. We love hockey. Uh that is how we talk about hockey. We. talk [ __ ] about our friends hockey teams. and uh we enjoy the hell out of hockey. Also, big announcement. The commissioner. of the NHL, uh Gary Bman will be joining. us next Tuesday. Next Tuesday, NHL.

commissioner Gary Bman will be joining. us. Obviously, we'll talk about the. draft and uh another successful run, another hell of a season for the NHL and. uh growing popularity, I believe. And. now the wagon of Florida is something. that I can't wait to hear his thoughts. of. Yeah, growing popularity for him, too. It feels like this year, I don't. think the booze were very loud at all. And granted, it was at Florida and. Florida won it, so maybe they're all. juiced up, but it feels like Gary Bman. almost has a babyface turn here. Yeah, it commissioners get quickly to a point.

where they need to be flanked by. Makea-Wish, firefighters, military, teachers. Yep. um. first responders, local heroes. Y like uh that is. commissioners get to that point because. they have to make a decision against. your team. Like they're the ones that. are the face of a decision against your. team. That is probably not going to be. good. Like very rarely do people. celebrate the commissioner whenever they. get billion dollars in TV deals and like. the franchise. Like very rarely is that. like a you know what a good job.

Commissioner's job is to go out there. and be the one that has to deliver the. bad news while also navigate it. And I'm. not saying they all do perfectly. Obviously, commissioners do not do. perfectly. But if one person pisses you. off, you can see how sports fans turn. against that person forever. For Bman, it does feel like there was a negative. Obviously, he was a part of the uh. lockout. Yeah. A couple work stoppages. Pat, Connor's right, you're right. Gary. Bman's never been hotter in the streets. Yeah, I think you could argue that he. was like the most hated guy in sports. even. Like people who weren't big- time. hockey fans were like, "This guy's a.

moron." like during the lockout and he. had to sit in the pocket and just take. it and then they change the rules of the. game like actually change the game of. hockey to try to make it a little bit. faster, a little bit more exciting. Then. all of a sudden ratings start going up. on the other side of the lockout. Their. business starts rolling. They get a new. deal. It's like he I feel like he. probably feels pretty vindicated with. everything that happened. But that is. the job of a commissioner, you know, and. you can tell when a commissioner is not. good. We've all seen it. Oh yes. And. then you can tell whenever a sport's. getting hot, there's probably a reason. It's probably leadership at the top. Congrats to Gary. The NHL has been.

awesome and but NBA has been great to us. too. We are very very lucky for all of. it. Joining us now is a senior NBA. insider at ESPN, a man who's had a very. active week. We have no idea what his. screen time is. We assume it is. alarming. Ladies and gentlemen, Sham. Sherea. How you doing, Shami? I'm doing great. Two days of the my first ESPN NBA draft. out of the way. I'm still in Brooklyn. I. head to Bristol, Connecticut tonight. We. will be stationed in Bristol until uh.

the foreseeable future working on free. agency. So, it's up to something season. You're living in Bristol. I'm not living in Bristol. I'm just. going to Bristol uh for for free agency. So, Oh, you're you're bunker don in. Bristol for free agency. We're in the. cave. We're in the cave. We're in the. headquarters. We're in we're in the. house like and we're bringing the noise. here. So being in a cave, not a bad. thing from what we had a cave. conversation earlier. Actually, my. father purchased some land from some.

Amish people. And turns out obviously no. electricity, uh, no running water, uh, and also there's a cave on property if. you want to go splunking. Andre believe. we will go. Focus on the work. Just. work. Yeah, that's it. Put your. splunking light on and get in there. Let's talk about before we get into the. free agency, let's talk about the last. two nights of news. Uh, obviously the. Ace Bailey conversation still carried. into the second round of the draft last. night. Everybody's kind of giving their. opinions on this. We talked to Ryan. Smith yesterday. Ryan talked about how. much he thinks Ace would be loved in.

Utah, how supported he would be in Utah, and how much they are uh excited for him. basically and how they got selfless. veterans was the way I think that was a. very key word that he uh sent out there. like, "Hey, we got a team full of vets. who are very selfless, ready for you to. do whatever you need to do here as a. member of the Utah Jazz." What is the. current like position here between Ace. Bailey and the Utah Jazz and when will. we get an actual answer on what the. truth? Because I heard Monday press. conference then I heard like yesterday.

press conference. What is like the truth. here? A Ace Bailey is by well regarded. by everyone as just an unbelievable. person, unbelievable uh kid and people. people all around the league know him as. a person ready to play basketball. The. Jazz are ready to welcome him in. whenever he's there. I mean, theoretically, they don't start summer. league practice until Monday. There's. not going to be a press conference until. Sunday or Monday. And he didn't work out. with Utah, which is common. Walter. Clayton Jr., who they drafted later in. the first round, didn't work out there.

either. And so, there's just obviously. conjecture there. There's clearly been. some communication lapses between both. sides. Um, as far as from Ace Bailey and. and you know, his situation is an. interesting one. I remember I was on the. show a couple weeks ago. He's got a. representative Omar Cooper, who's. actually former NBA player Share. Cooper's father, but he's not a. certified NBA agent. So, you know, the. theoretically there's not really a way. for NBA teams to necessarily, you know,

if they're going to commu communicate. with with the certified agent, there's. not really there are certified agents. there in place, but Omar Cooper has. taken a lot of the responsibility there. So, what has the advice been there? What. what has the process been like? Clearly, they had their eyes set on somewhere. other than Utah, right? And whether that. was Washington at number six, and it. didn't happen. But this isn't the first. time a player wanted to go somewhere. else and then didn't land at the team uh. that he wanted to go to. Uh that's the. draft. When you declare for the NBA.

draft or any draft in any league, you. understand it's possible you you could. get unless you're the number one pick, you could get drafted somewhere you. don't want to go to. And so that's just. the nature of the NBA draft. That's the. nature of of the league. Like the bottom. line is the it's Friday now. Uh the Jazz. don't start summer league practice until. Monday. And so Ace Bailey could show up. to Utah tonight. He could show up. Saturday. He could show up Sunday. And I. guess at that point it is a non-issue. But the as far as the conjecture, I.

mean, the Jazz are not going to be. trading Ace Bailey. If he's playing in. the NBA, he's playing for the Utah Jazz. That's just a matter of fact. That's. just a matter of the circumstance right. now. So, uh, I mean, unless Ace Ace. Bailey is sitting out, uh, the NBA. season and forfeiting close to $10. million in his first year salary, like. that would be unprecedented. So, but. that's not something that uh has ever. been done. So, I think the facts and the. logic are that he will play for the Utah.

Jazz next season. And I hear all the, you know, hey, Eli did this and like, hey, John Elway did this and like this. has happened before. It's like those. guys were being considered like Hall of. Famers as they were getting drafted. For. it to happen to the number five overall. pick, potentially third overall pick. with Cooper Flag in this draft class. I. think that's made a lot of people go. like, "Hey, this kid needs to relax.". But I think to your point, listening to. Ace Bailey talk, he's like, "I play. basketball. I got a team of people.

that'll handle the thing. So, it does. feel like there is a separation of like. Ace and like what is what his people. think is the best positioning for him, which is what happened with Eli, what. happened with John Elway. His people. were trying to do it. Once again, they. were like Hall of Famers in the making. Maybe they feel the same way about Ace. He could be a great player, but a lot of. people are like, "Yo, you're number five. overall pick. Let's relax here, especially in the NBA draft." But in my. eyes, listening to him talk and watching. his highlights, it's like, "This guy. might be a this dude might be a dude.". And it sounds like he is literally only.

he just has handed over all the reigns. to other people who are smarter than. him. I assume have better knowledge of. the situation. We can get what what is. best for you. If he just gets to Utah, I. think it will all, you know, I think. once you land there and you meet Big Jay. and and you meet Ryan and you see the. entire operation and obviously Danny. Ames, living legend, his son Austin, then you see the facility, you see all. the coach. Yeah. Hardy's obviously a. dog. like you meet all this and then you. feel I think like they'll probably meet. him at his [ __ ] plane land. I assume.

Utah people will be there for his plane. land. It's like that's I think what is. happening. So hopefully this is a. non-issue. Sean, that's what I'm hoping. I'm hoping it's a I mean listen at the. end of the day is it would never it's. never happened before. or if a player is. really going to sit out an NBA season. like like just logically thinking. I. mean, the Jazz, no NBA team is giving in. on this, you know? No NBA team is just. like, you know what? Yeah, we'll trade. you to where you want to go after you've. been drafted. The risks were are there. Like, you could want to go lower in the.

draft to get to your your spot, but at. the end of the day, like a team is is. viable to draft you, unless there was a. draft night trade and there's something. that was able to get worked out, but. that didn't happen. And the Jazz are. ready. They're not trading Ace Bailey. They're not trading the pick. They're. not doing anything with him. He will be. in Utah. Whether he's going to show up. there today, whether he's going to show. up there Monday, and then and then if he. doesn't show up Monday, we'll have. something even more to talk about. But. as of right now, um I I I would expect. logic to start to set in here. I would.

like Ace Bailey to know and his team, we. think it's going to work out just fine. out there. But I appreciate you trying. to make a move, though. Yeah. You know, like if you're trying to get your guys. somewhere, you're trying to get. somewhere. I think that has happened a. lot. Like I I heard there were stories. about, hey, we'll send him to Australia. You know, now granted that was second. round stories, rumors, but it's like. people do that. I think people try to. get people to places and then when it. doesn't work, when he when the swing. doesn't work, it's like, all right, now. we got to live in a new reality here and. let's go ahead and make the most of it. That's a part of the league. There's. been players high in the draft that want.

to go somewhere. They want teams that. two, three, four to pass them up. Doesn't happen. They end up there. And. there's always that moments of one or. two days of emotional feelings of like, oh, it didn't work out. But at the end. of the day, logic always sets in. And in. this situation, four years, $40 million. is the rookie salary. Um, and the Jazz. drafted Ace Bailey for Ace Bailey. That. that's where he will be. Imagine him and. Clayton Jr. do the thing up there. They. just, you know, turn the Jazz into a. great team. That place is already sold. out for like 10 years straight. Every. single game sold out. Every home game.

packed to the gills. That is what it is. out there. if they were to have two. young studs lead them to greatness. I. mean, we've seen it already. Oklahoma. City, obviously, Tyrese gets traded here. and leads it over here. It's like. anything's possible. Good luck to all. parties over there. Uh, good luck also. on future endeavors. Toronto Raptors, fire, president, executive, senior, super duper decision maker up there. Uh, he's been there since 2013, I think is. what I read. He's won a title. He's won. executive of the year in that time. He's.

made the playoffs eight of the years. that he's been there. It feels like he's. had success, but we've seen these types. of moves out of the NBA out of nowhere. What What is this kind of how how do we. get here, you think, Sean? Yeah, let's. take a step back. The the the Toronto. Raptors are under Maple Leaf Sports. Entertainment. That's the, you know, the. the big brand that conglomerate. Uh the. Maple Leafs, um the Raptors, other. sports franchises and and entities.

Yeah. like and and they've been. evaluating all of their present for the. last year or so. They had new leadership. come in at M uh MLSC and they they. actually fired um their their NHL teams. president just one month ago uh Brendan. Shanahan. And so around the NBA there. was all you know there was whispers that. Messiah Yujuri whether it was going to. be this offseason, whether it was going. to be during the season, whether it was. going to be after the season. He had one. year and about $15 million left on his. contract. So the presumption was okay.

maybe you get the whole season but I. woke up this morning and I got a text. that Messiah Juri was being fired uh. today and so uh he is out as the vice. chairman I mean not only the president. of the team he's the vice chairman he's. had a high role there he's essentially. been as close to the go uh the governor. owner of this team as can be he showed. up to the board of governor meetings. year after year after year so um Messiah. Yuri's out and he had a long run. 13.

years there, 2019 NBA championship. They. went to the playoffs eight times. The. last three years though, they kind of. had floundered a little bit. They didn't. make the playoffs. And so now they're. going to go with a full search for a. president and he was under contract for. $15 million. So the Raptors could have. played the year out, but they got out. ahead of it and they've let him go. And. so now they're going to have a full. search and and we'll see where this. leads them. I do appreciate Messiah for. sending Pascal Seakkum to Indiana. That. was very kind of him. He made our lives.

much better here. Is it stuff like that. that maybe is a reason why or is it just. an idea they want to reset because they. did it with the Maple Leafs obviously. who have never I mean they are they. still you know 2019 the Raptors win. That's great. That's huge foruge the. entire entity up there. Not the whole. country everything like that. The Maple. Leafs every year I couldn't even imagine. what ownership feels. Oh no. Oh man, just bang, disappointment at the end of. every year. So, is it just a reset? They. want to try to redo their things for.

both teams. Is that what everybody's. expecting or was there like a beef? Was. somebody disagree with somebody? Messiah Yujuri had a great run there, but near the end of it, it was very. clear the new leadership that was coming. into MLSC and Messiah, they they just. did not seem like they were going to be. destined for a long run. Whether it was. interpersonal stuff, whether it was the. fact that anytime new leadership comes. in, Pat, you guys know this, like. there's always going to be some level of. change, people wanting to bring new. staffers in. And so once that happens.

with the with with with the Maple Leafs, with the Toronto Maple Leafs, now it's. happening uh with the Toronto Raptors. And so part of it is resetting, but the. other part of it is also, I mean, you. have Pascal Seakum, he's out. Uh he goes. to Indiana. uh the run he has there. Ojanobi, he gets traded to the Knicks, they he he's had a level of success. there and the the Raptors just the last. two three years like what's the. direction of the team, right? And I. think that's what if you're MLSC, you.

you already have your antennas up and. even more so the last couple of years as. they're going through their ownership. restructuring, new transfer of. ownership. And so usually when when the. old owner starting to depart, usually it. it follows suit in in some period of. time unless there's a strong strong. relationship that that is able to be. built there. Yeah. Because whenever you. buy something or take over something, you have a vision of how it's supposed. to go. So normally, you know, we see in. the NFL new GM comes in, it's like, yeah, I got an idea on how this is going.

to go and it's not you. I've been great. here. We don't care. We are moving on. So it's happening in the business world. And I think Wendy said ear though. It is. a stunner because he did have one year. left on his deal. And the fact that they. do it the day after the NBA I saw a clip. online Messiah was welcoming their their. first uh pick first round pick uh you. know welcoming him to Toronto and and. and then two days later. he has been fired. Wasn't happy. I I I. don't think people around the league. expected this timing. I wonder I wonder.

if it was a bad dap might have been with. the draft then meets with ownership the. drafty gets How's it been today? Everything been great. Pout team was. good. I had the double double from Timmy. uh King Timmy's uh came in here the. entire staff was cool. Who's who's the. uh is that the president he just he. missed it was a bad d and ownership was. like you know what gone fired him could. be the case. We don't know. We don't. that that you probably Our daps are. clean, you know. That's why keep the.

daps clean, guys. Yeah, you need you. need a good You need a good You need a. good connection there. You know, that. tells the whole story. Tell how that's. setting the tone for everything, basically. How's this going to go? Not. great. Okay, see you. You're out. New. president in. Good luck to all parties. Okay, let's talk about uh you know, turning over of ownership. Uh some of. these things have come out of nowhere. Go ahead, Khan. Yeah, Sean. Feels like. the Lakers sale did come out of nowhere. and then obviously the Timberwolves were. have been the other team that has sold. in recent memory. The Celtics of course.

that was kind of out of nowhere, the. complete sale. Are there other teams. that are up for sale right now that. people might not know? Are we going to. see more NBA teams getting sold because. these numbers are getting astronomical. when it comes to ownership of sports. teams? So, I don't see any NBA team. selling for less than three 3.2 25 35. like somewhere in that 3 to 3.5 billion. ever again. Like I think that's the. that's the bare minimum uh to buy an NBA.

team. And and yeah, I mean the the. numbers like the Lakers and other sales. like it'll impact and it'll it'll make. the numbers continue to skyrocket. Like. the Lakers selling for 10 billion, that's the most ever in in the world for. for a professional sports franchise, not. just in the in the United States. Uh, so. you talk about football teams abroad, you talk about whatever league abroad, it's not it's not close. Yeah, of. course. Abroads. Yep. All all of them. Mhm. So So it it is it is beneficial,

I'm sure, to the other owners. And we'll. see. We'll see if there's going to be. surprise ones. The one team that is up. for sale right now that I can. definitively say, and I've reported it, is the Portland Trailblazers. And so. they have um they have been put up for. sale and they're going to start their. their sale process as this year unwinds. And um what's that? Seven 67. I mean in that market. I I was thinking five and a half plus, but 67 sounds about right. The Lakers. just went for 10. You know, the. Trailblazers just got yang hands and so.

probably at 8 billion. Yeah. They're. estimated uh currently valued at 3.7. That was so for a sale to take that was. before the Lakers sold for 10 billion. So maybe I mean let's just hedge five. But here here's the one cool thing. though about this this sale that's. different than all these other sales. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Final answer. real quick. 5 a.5 million over under or. five and a half billion over under. I'm. saying over. I'm I'm going I'm going I'm going under.

I'm so panicked. I'm I'm going under. Under. Celtics were six. Oh, way under. Boston Celtics. Lakers were just 10. Yeah, but that even that deal seems like. kind of that that number seems like hey. biggest possible number because they. sold what 45% of it and they're saying. 45% is 10 billion like I feel like they. sold it and then the team valuation is. they say they 5.1 billion or whatever. for the majority share there 51% I think. they got that's the actual what title. they're saying what it was valued at. during the sale. Yeah. And that and that.

guy, he already owns like 20%. So he. only bought like 30 something%. And then. they the the agree. Yeah. But the sale. was at a10 billion valuation, which is. what the current valuation of the team. is. Those valuations change. If another. team in the league goes for 10 billion, I think comps, what are comps? I think. that ups I think that ra high tides. raise all boats personally. Now granted, the six billion Boston one is. fascinating because that's another. pillar franchise there. Port people in. Portland forget that the Trailblazers. play there. Yeah. Can somebody pick it.

up and move it? Yeah. Can they buy it. and move it? That's what I was going to. ask. Sorry, Foxy. It's okay. Well, that's that's always the conversation. And so, I'm not going to No offense, Portland. No offense. I'm sure Timbers, we're big fans. Yeah. Seattle need needs. a team to get. They just do. And this. goes together with what I was going to. say is the the the the reason why this. ownership sale is different than any. others is that Paul Allen, how's the. late Paul Allen, this will be. essentially essentially his estate, his. his his fund and they're going to what. all the money they have, they're.

actually essentially donating the money. So whatever the sale is for, they're. actually donating it through his estate. And so that part of it makes me think. that there's going to be some level of. understanding like whoever's buying the. team like you're keeping that this team. somewhere Paul Allen wants it to or Paul. Allen would would have wanted it to be. You like Seattle, right? If we're. talking about Seattle, don't don't want. to, you know, dive too much into all of. it, but they said uh the internet is. saying that they're the 24th uh highest.

valued team in the NBA. Uh currently. it's sitting at three and a half. billion. I'll be excited to see what it. is. Professional sports franchise. Exactly. NBA franchise. A lot of people. have a lot of money these days. Yeah, everything everything is like that. Okay, speaking of skyrocketing, the. market for the players. What's the. market look like for an absolute. superstar from the land of Greece? Go. ahead, Ty. Yeah, Shams, when free agency. opens up here, what what do you expect. the timeline to be with Giannis? And. then beyond him, who are some of like. the marquee uh most soughtafter people. that should be, you know, kind of maybe.

moving around pretty early in free. agency here? So draft week is is is over. with now. Now we're heading into free. agency time. And so the Bucks have. several free agents. They have Brook. Lopez, Bobby Portoris, Kevin Porter Jr., Gary Trent Jr. So which of those players. are they able to retain? What does the. team look like after all of those. decisions are made? What does Giannis. Andumbo think about how the roster has. shaped up? He's observing very closely. from my understanding. And so this is.

going to be a process not only at at. it's not going to be a drafting. It's. not going to be a free agency thing. Um. and as the team comes together, as you. view the rest of the chess pieces around. the league, what does the landscape look. like after free agency? Those are all. things if you're Jonathan going to be. looking at as you evaluate what your. best fit is in Milwaukee. Where could. that best fit be? And so um he's going. to be monitoring very closely. And you. know, Sunday is going to be an important. day for the NBA. Uh, going into free.

agency, that's a day where a lot of. players have player options. So, LeBron. James has a player option. James Harden. has a player option. Bobby Portoris with. the Bucks has a player option that day. Julius Randle has a player option. Oz. Reed has a player option. So, Sunday is. a big day for player option. Again, these are massive, massive player. option, right? I mean, think about. LeBron James. It's in the 50s. Most. craziest most craziest. most craziest. about to happen. Get in that cave. Most. crazy craziest cave. Uh you you never.

know with free agency. You never know. So, you know, I would just say just, you. know, be prepared. Be prepared for free. agency. That's it. For the unexpected, expect the unexpected. No, no. I'm not. I'm not going to go that far. I'm just. going to say, "Oh, you're already. killing your time. Just be prepared. Sunday's a very big day uh for player. options for agency gets going on Monday. night. And so there there deals will. start popping off most likely. I mean in. the leadup to it. And then there's a.

there's a bunch of players with. extensions too. So like Oklahoma City is. a team. They have Shikos Alexander, Chad. Homegrren, Jaylen Williams. Those three. players. Where do their extensions go? That's going to have a big impact on. their team building after winning a. championship. So uh there's a lot of. questions that will be answered in the. next few weeks. And as far as Jon and. Dmpo's future, how the Bucks build out. the team, that will have a direct. correlation. Which of their free agents. can they bring back? That'll have a. direct correlation on it. All right. We. appreciate the hell out of you, Shams.

You've been batting thousand thus far. with the NBA for us. And uh we've. enjoyed the covering the entire. postseason. Thank you for keeping us on. the right path, brother. Appreciate you. Next week, are we are we are we live. next week? What is basketball happening. next week? I don't think so. I mean, unless Yiannis gets, you know, goes somewhere else. That's really kind. of the I don't know. Most craziest ever, he said. Yeah. Kind of a crap [ __ ] You. know what we're going to do? Yeah. Has. to has to be Universe Ball. Universe.

Ball. If this goes If this goes in, thank you, Shams. If this goes in, we'll. see you next week. We'll see you next. week. Uh oh. Uh oh. Oh, man. You better. make this. Oh no. Shs. Hold on. [Music]. Oh no. So close. See you three times. next week. Oh no. Four times. Oh. All right. Not meant to be. Sean.

See you Sean. Have a good week, buddy. See you. See you in a couple months. See. you everybody. Thank you. Sean can't do. the international balls. No. No. No. Because this is NBA. Exactly. Yeah. But. this is Greek. Yeah. Mhm. And Yang. Hansen. Yep. Air well. Boom. SHs will be here. He should have stuck around. No. No. Looks like we can't have him. He. was Greek. Yeah. How did we not fea? Well, he's, you know, he he basically. has American citizenship at this point.

I think so. Isn't it Jerry Antmpo now? He's thinking about changing it to Did. you hear about Lou Messi? Oh, you know. what? Oh, he's MLS thinks again. No, Lou. Messi is taking on Lionel L Messi's old. team. Oh, it's true. BSG Sunday in. Atlanta at noon. Conca will be boots on. the ground. Uh they will be little. boots, but they will be boots. Uh. Gumpy's heading down Atlanta. Gumpy. Gumpy the Super Duper Cup's really doing. it. The round of 16 is going to be.

electric. Some of these matchups, you. see Real Madrid there. They're playing. Juventus. That's a huge game. PSG, Inter. Miami, you talked about Bayern Munich. possibly playing PSG in the second. round. And then if Dortmund wins and. Real Madrid wins, the Bellingham. brothers will face off in the next round. as well. The Bellingham battle has been. one that they've been talking about for. a while now, haven't they? Yes, indeed. Cannot wait for that. Need that. That. would feed families. This is a $100. million Super Duper Cup for FIFA World. Club Cup, right? Yeah. There has been.

144 goals scored in 49 m matches. That's. three per game. Soccer. That's what. we're talking about. Telling you, it's. been a good tournament. some of the. teams were [ __ ] but now that we're in. the knockout round, these are going to. be very good games. Uh, and then we also. have the Gold Cup where the United. States of America can still win this. thing and maybe if Canada can get by. Guatemala, we have a meeting in the. semifinal. Uh, what should we be looking. forward to? We should definitely beat. Costa Rica. It's going to It's usually a. tough match with Costa Rica, but they. are US will win. It will be close.

They're second favorite. Like I said, Mexico's plus 150. USA's plus 200. Canada's plus 500 to win it. Saudi. Arabia is in the quarterfinals. Have you. though? How? How? What do you mean how? They won. They won a game. I I get that. But Honduras is that squad down there. You guys pay them all. All these. countries are in the, you know, Western. Hemisphere. That's conc. What do you. think this is? Saudi part of Confa. I. still don't know how that one works.

Just put these teams in cuz they have a. tournament. Yeah. Did Saudi like pay? Hey, we want to be in the Gold Cup. I. think they did want to be entered into. cuz Conca actually known as Kona is like. our area. It's like our region. Okay. It's like Caribbean. Uh Qatar got in. whenever they hosted the World Cup. They. came in to join us cuz they didn't have. one. I I believe so. I assume Saudi. Arabia, same thing. Didn't have a So we. thought, hey, you can come over to. Konafa. Yeah, you come over. Sure. Yeah, absolutely. You guys can come. Why not? There's a special invite. Hey, give us.

the poopy teams. That's what we need. Saudi's a perennial World Cup squad. That's Yeah. Every time they've had a. team, they've been in the World Cup. Yeah. So, you tell me. I I don't know. I I would. like to see a little bit more Trinid. Trinidad and Tobago to be honest. Going. TNT is a problem. You are% right. USA is. is the real deal though. That's all. happening this weekend. We will watch. that. What has happened this last week? Well, I think it's time to debut a brand. new segment. Hell yeah. Okay. We feel. like on Fridays, especially in the.

It's time to get. buffed. John Harbaugh is moving weight. 62 years old, 405 lbs. You might not. like the Baltimore Ravens, but John. Harbaugh is getting after it with. Derrick Henry, I assume, somewhere back. there. And hey, that's good [ __ ] That. is good [ __ ] I You got to keep moving.

And you know, if you don't move, you. stop, you die. Arbos still getting under. the bar. People are going to talk about. the padding on the bar. He's 62 years. old. It's 400 lb. He was repping those. out. We only showed three of those. Speaking of repping out, how about. Friday night, Saturday night at LSU? Yeah. I mean, you want to talk about. good [ __ ] Kade Anderson. Okay. He's. going to be the number one pick in the. MLB draft in game one of the College. World Series championship series against. Coastal Carolina. What does he do? He. throws nine shutout innings, 10 Ks,

three hits, complete game shutout. Unbelievable. And hey, he also threw 130. pitches. That's good [ __ ] That is good. [ __ ] I watched him for the first time. uh in this particular game. I think I. caught him like seventh inning or. something and the buzz was palpable. whenever you get there cuz LSU had taken. over a lot of that stadium. Obviously, Coastal Carolina was representing. because of the hell of the run that they. were on. But whenever LSU was whenever. he was coming out, there was a buzz. I'm. like, who the hell is this guy? You. started learning about him. He's the. number one overall pick. This guy's a. real deal. And then you watch him pitch. He was only getting stronger as the.

pitches were going on. Locked in. Congrats LSU winning World Series. And. the Coast Carolina going on a hell of a. run. Can't believe they kicked their. coach out. That's not that's not good. [ __ ] at all. Let's talk about uh some uh. car racing, shall we? This one happened. to just be on the open road in Missouri. The heat causes the road to explode. Toyota takes the bump. Hey, driver keeps it rolling, stays on. the track, you could [ __ ] your pants if. this happened to you in the roadway. If.

you're on an ATV, okay, if you're on an. ATV and you get air and you don't see. the ground anymore, it is a freaky. situation. I couldn't even imagine being. in a Toyota Camry driving down road. looking at maybe a Honda. Maybe I do a. trade here, a car on the left. Ah, we're. in the air. Bang. I assume they pooped. But if they did, that's good [ __ ] But. they stay focused on that entire thing. I'm pretty proud of them. Con man super. duper World Cup Man City Juventus. Everybody loves this tournament. Corner. kick. Man City gets 4-1 five goals.

already. Yeah, a lot of goals. Got to. love it. Oh, Halad right in front of the. net. No goal. Let's clear it. Just. kidding. Bad. That's Cinho for Man City, baby. This is why we watch footy as they. call it overseas. Great save by the. goalie, but Savinho says, "Sorry about. it. I'm going Bardansky on your face, [ __ ] Go back to Italy. That's a good. goal." And that's good [ __ ] That's 51.

It ended up 5-2. There was a touchdown. and an extra point worth of goals. Juventus Man City. And they had that. Bard down ski. Uh, let's go to the. backyard, shall we? In the 11, a man. named Malik Foster in extra time. of the first half. left footed laser Malik the freak with. an absolute snipe. That's good [ __ ] Bad. [ __ ] uh, the Indie 11 would not score. another goal. The Tampa Bay Rowdies.

would go on to win that game 3 to one. But let's not take away from Maluk's. moment right before half there. What an. absolute laser. You know, it's funny, Pat. Everyone wants to say that Dak. Prescott uh, you know, he just he can't. win games. He can't do anything like. that. He can't win in the playoffs. He. can't win when it matters. Well, I I find that funny. Let's take it. to the golf course. Dak, Tad, and Will. Greer against Good Good Golf. Match on. the line. Boom. Dak Prescott sinks a 65.

ft walk-off putt to beat the boys from. Good Good. Hey, listen. He might not win. in the playoffs every single year. Well, he's a team sport. It's a team sport. But but on the golf course, you put Dak. in those situations and all you're. getting is good [ __ ] That was a great. putt. That's good [ __ ] Yeah, it is. And. also, shout out to Good Good Golf. Great. name. Yep. And also, I like the fact. that they're promoting gimmies in their. title. Darius J. Butler maybe needs to. watch some of that. Good golf. Derek. Clark, Bobby, and the boys over there.

Within. the last 3 days and then this Dak video. pops up 2 days later and then Bruce's. like, "Huh, huh? That's what I've been. talking about. Bruce, you love the Good. Golf Boys.

supernova of sorts of talent and. motivation and inspiration and also. collaboration. I don't know if you saw. down in Nashville tight end university. Oh yeah. the biggest star on earth shows. up and plays in front of a thousand. football fans. Taylor Swift alongside. Kane Brown. And obviously there's a lot. of boys there. Okay. A lot of bros there. for tight end university. Everybody was. out there. Saw Ernest, saw Luke Combmes, Kane Brown was obviously there. I think. Chase Rice was there. Uh you're talking.

about literally every when Taylor walks. out there, she tells the band, "Hey, we're going to shake it off. We're going. to shake it off. We're going to shake it. off." All the band members go, "Okay, I. think we understand what that is." She. starts playing it. All the dudes that. brought their ladies to tight ends and. friends. Just think of heroes. Forever. Absolute heroes. Taylor doing a football. activity in the offseason. Hey, we. appreciate you. She's a football girl. She is. She's a tight end university.

Hello. Welcome back to our humble abode. The. Thunder on this feel-good Friday, June. 27th, 2025, hour two of the program. begins now. Sports are happening. The NHL draft is. this evening. Obviously, there's some. super duper soccer cups happening this. weekend. Baseball is happening. The NBA. has some big decisions that have to be. made by Sunday. And the NFL is always. cooking. Are they cooking in each. other's kitchens a little bit too much?

In each other's underwear? Uhhuh. I. don't think so. Are they sharing. recipes? Huh? Huh? Is that what they're. doing? There's some chatter on the. internet about that. We were certainly. looking into that over the weekend. Uh. because it doesn't feel as as if it's as. loud as you would think. Uh especially. with what was being talked about. But. there are some. uh. committed journalists. I will say. champions of the cause. That's right. I. think they are I think they are the.

committed champions uh sports. journalists and we've been watching. We. understand. We all are seeing it. I. respect the I respect the commitment. legitimately like hey we respect it. We. appreciate it. It was interesting though. to hear that story just kind of come up. out of nowhere. Obviously it happened. back whenever Lamar was kind of a free. agent and we heard about it and they but. the NFL with the NFL like they all meet. in a meeting. There's a one per club. meeting. I think like there isn't a. thought that they probably do kind of. have like how franchises of restaurants.

have like hey here's the correct here's. the whole thing and then you do have to. wonder like is that a form of kind of. working against the employee like that. conversation's been happening on the. internet like collusion has been thrown. out there a couple times that's a heavy. word that's a very very heavy word but. also it's like forget what happens with. this particular story that's kind of. been bundling And you have to think to. yourself like I guess it kind of always. they have been though. I think that is. why everybody's like ah who cares? I.

don't know if everybody's like, "Ah, who. cares?" But it is like it makes me view. it a little differently because whenever. they are at the owners, they literally. have owners meetings and they have like. one per club meetings we know about and. there's like a lot of decisions that. made and whenever you're CBA, you're. negotiating against all of them and it's. like they all have, you always say like, well, they have 30 billionaires that. have the money to hire all the lawyers. So, they are going to be in a much. better spot than the NFLPA will be in. So, it's always like just kind of. understood that you're working against. the entire It's an interesting. interesting storyline that it developed.

But once again, that's the NFL. Yeah, the NFL will always have something. cooking for us. So, it's going to be an. incredible summer, especially if you two. are going to look as cool as you guys. look today. The toxic table at Boston. Connor in his leather jacket that he has. no idea where it's from and the yard. goats ball cap, big league true t-shirt. Ty Schmidt, how you boys doing? Doing. great. Doing I mean, I feel like a. million bucks wearing this. I I can only. imagine how much Cashola you feel like. wearing that thing, but I feel like it's. got to be in front of me. Yeah. I feel. like I can slip a couple punches. You.

know, I get I was talking to By for Kate. Bill earlier and he was telling me about. all the all the UFC uh coming this. weekend as well, which I'm very excited. about and I might might throw hands. with, you know, with some of those. champions of the cause you were talking. about. You talk about I I forgot about. the massive UFC. huge vacant title fight tomorrow night. 317 they've done a great job. 317. obviously maybe should have had that. Indianapolis would have been cool, but. you're talking about a vacant title on. the line between a couple dogs coming up. in weight taking on the OG. Charles.

obviously hanging. Ilia coming on up. That thing's mine now because Islam. moves up in weight class. So now we have. a vacant title. Let's go ahead and fight. for it. That's what we got tomorrow. night. Big night in UFC. Is uh Bill near. a microphone. Uh Bill uh for this for. tomorrow night. What should we be. looking at here? Are these going to be. explosive fights? Are we getting. knockouts tomorrow? Am I watching guys. wrestle tomorrow? What should I be. expecting whenever I turn this on. inevitably like I do with every single. UFC event on a Saturday night? So, especially in this main event, it should.

be a good striking fest. Both these guys. like to like cut the octagon in half and. really go at the guy that they're. facing. And Ilia like he has a good. chance of being the face of the UFC. He's 16-0. He's jumping weight divisions. going straight for the champions. Like. Olivivera did. He's two and two in his. last fights. Uh it's been a couple uh. decisions especially against Michael. Chandler was his last fight last time. you saw him. Legend. Uh just walk in. there and say punch me in the face. of Michael. He got choked out by Islam.

uh right before Islam made the jump up. So he's kind of aging out but he's he's. got the most finishes in UFC history. He's got the most uh submissions in UFC. history. So this could be a great fight. Ilia, I don't believe so. I think he's uh does. not have I saw the tattoo the tattoo at. the top there maybe looked a little. Georgian maybe. Okay. Yeah, that sounds. right. How do you pronounce his name? Tropoya. He is Georgian. Ge what is he? Georgian. Yeah, he's go dogs. Ilia from.

Trapoa. Sweet. No, he's not from the. state of Georgia. He was from the. country of Georgia. Okay. He is go dog. He go dog. Anything else we should look. at for the undercard bill? any other. fights that we should maybe uh at least. maybe sprinkle a little thought on this. will end in a knockout. So, the co-main. uh this might be the most dominant run. we've ever seen at least since like 2020. uh as a current champion. He is 9 and0. against the guys in the top uh top 10.

ranked fighters behind him. Uh and he. this guy's like the fourth uh contender. kind of just throwing him in there. So, you're probably going to go like a first. or second round finish. Oh, is the. champion Pentoia? Yes. Yes. Yes. Pentoia. Okay. Pentoia is a champion. right there. He looks good. He looks. like he has a LeBron breaker to him. down there at the bottom. We like him. You're saying this one's going to end. early. Yeah, he's the he's the longest. running champion that they have right. now. These guys actually fought each. other way back. I don't know what year. the Ultimate Fighter was, but I think it.

was before the Contender Series. So, they have a history. Uh they they're. going to want to go after each other. Car France is a slippery Yeah, but he's. ranked four. He they don't know if he's. ready for the challenge. We'll see. Gets. you dropped in the deep end with pay. dojo. There's a chance you might just. have to catch some hands. You want the. title shot, you got the title shot. Tomorrow, UFC 317. Two title shots in. the line. We appreciate you, Bill. Joining us now, a man who used to host. an MMA show on Sirius XM. He's a college. football national champion, a Super Bowl. champion, a Rder Cup winner. AJ Hawk. Hey, AJ. Hey, did we leave anything out.

there? Did we leave anything out for the. UFC 317 card that maybe you wanted to. bring a little bit more light to? because we know you are a skilled mixed. martial artist. True. We know that you. can take on two different people coming. from two different directions. And then. also if there's two people coming from. front, we have seen you. We call this. the AJ Hawk. They're doing it at the. West Virginia football locker room. The. double punch. Yeah, cuz this is just the. original version of this thing. Come on. People said that the the next iteration. was two punches. Boom. Boom. Boom.

Sprinkle little workout and also great. defense. And that's what that guy's. saying. AJ's beating the [ __ ] out of two. guys on both sides. Oh, can we. uh What are your thoughts on 37. tomorrow? Two titles. That's a big deal. That is a big deal. Yeah, two titles. You're right. I mean, Bill Bill setting. up. Great. I mean, I see I don't follow. UFC as as closely as I used to. I. definitely was way more into it in the. past. But yeah, I mean, obviously, we're. going to see some awesome fights. We. know that. I don't suppose when Bill was.

trying to break down the undercards, that's when I got lost a little And I. know there's some great fights set up on. this card, but I'm not very uh versed on. all the guys fighting, you know, other. than the main event. Well, Pas is the. champion. He's right there lower left. And then you see Ilia Turia up there on. the top left. He's from Georgia. Charles, the country, the country of. Georgia. Yeah. Yeah. He does train in. Warner Robbins, Georgia, though. What? Cuz he feels more comfortable. Really? That's what I thought. Uh I. think I read that somewhere, but don't. quote me on that. Okay. Hey, we're not.

the authority. Yeah, exactly. UFC. authority. Jon Jones retired this week. Mhm. Yeah, that is a bummer. That is a bummer. Need new stars. New. stars. Need new stars. Do celebrity. boxing. Is he going to start doing. celebrity boxing? Easy. Could I assume. him and Jake Paul would feed families. obviously like that would do? Jeez. Him. and Logan probably a better matchup. because Logan a little bit longer, I. think, and taller. But Jake full-time. boxer. I don't know how that works with. weight and everything like that. Yeah, I. was going to say since he moved up to. heavyweight, I wonder he's like 220. I.

think Jake said he's 170 or something. like that. That I don't know if that. would He might kill somebody if he does. celebrity boxing. I don't know. His. reach. Yeah, his reach would just like. he could literally just palm head. Mhm. And just go ahead and let me just Yep. Here we go. Little boy. Let me go ahead. and little boy. That's what he does to. everybody. Couple of these. You know, people are people are always eating. accidental elbows too in those. You. know, you get in tight like you you. accidentally eat one from Jon Jones. That's that's not great. There will. always be and I think Jon Jones knows.

this and it's potentially a reason why. everything has kind of happened. If Jon. Jones is fighting, people will watch. Yes. You know that if my I I don't know. if every generation will watch Jon. Jones, but there are multiple. generations of people that if they hear. Jon Jones is fighting, they're going to. okay, I will go watch that because we. experience the Jon Jones experience, you. know, and that's how it'll be forever, no matter what he was to do. So, I wish. him luck. I hope he finds some real. happiness, too. I hope he does. everything. And thank you for your uh. your uh commitment to our entertainment.

Yeah. Thank you for your commitment. because you take a lot of beatings. training to be a fighter obviously. Yeah. I'd say you know that's like every. day you're getting like punched. Yeah. Just sparring leading up to fights, sparring dudes that are monsters too. just to get you ready. Like you'll be. crazy. Now to be clear, you're getting. paid a lot of money at that level. whenever you're Jon Jones. So I'm not. just saying he just did it for. entertainment, but also see also Yeah. lot of great nights watching Jon Jones. beat the [ __ ] out of somebody. I mean, I. mean, when he methodically beating the. [ __ ] out of people, it was un so.

athletic, just so athletic in there. Like, oh, this guy could have played any. sport he wanted to. He just decided to. be so calm. Aren't you, I'm always. always impressed how calm he was. Like, we were talking about TST and soccer. players, dudes that can hold on to the. ball and not freak out when they have. defenders coming at him, stuff like. that. You watch John, like he never. seemed like he was out of control or. panicked. He just like, "All right, this. is going exactly how I planned." It. seems like family of champions. Congratulations to them. Uh let's talk. about some news that happened over there. in Ohio. We kind of alluded to it a.

couple different times. Congratulations. to the city of Cincinnati and the. Bengals getting a $470 million. renovation to Payor Stadium approved. Congratulations. Hamilton County and the. Bengals have agreed to principal terms. for a new lease that keeps the team in. Cincinnati playing home games at Payor. Stadium through June 2036 with a 10. additional year option. Uh this is a. significant day for the Bengals in. Hamilton County as we secure the team's. future in Cincinnati. It remains an. excellent venue. Yada yada yada. Okay, good work. Go ahead, Tone. So, uh, I. looked into it. 470 million in. renovations. Bengals will supply 120.

million of that. The other 350 million. is going to come from Hamilton County. Uh, that'll be in taxes, but there is no. tax there is no tax increase though. Like, everyone's taxes are going to stay. the same. They're just reallotting re re. uh shuffling some tax money to go to a. renovation for pay as opposed to going. somewhere else. You know, like I'm not. going to say it, but roads. Might as. well. No. Potholes. I mean, I don't know. where tax money goes in Ohio. I I have.

no idea where tax money goes out here. We drive on the moon every day. Yes. Okay. And I I in my head, I'm like, potholes is something taxes do. They. exist forever. So, I don't know exactly. where they all head to. But if they're. just reshuffling some stuff, I'm sure. that won't be met with any resistance. No. I'm sure there won't be any people. that won't be that'll be okay with that. Whatever the case, great venue, great. environment. Yeah, renovation will. obviously do it some uh good. I think. every stadium getting renovated is good. When does that start? Do you know.

anything about this, AJ? I don't know. much about I know they're I just heard. them fighting for the last couple years, but 470 million, I'm guessing it doesn't. go nearly as far as we think it does. What do you a new jumbotron and couple. new seats? Like what can you do with 470. mil? I don't know. Um Miss Blackburn is. a tough negotiator. Yeah, true. with. Trey Hendrickson. Now, Jamar and T feels. like she was able to get a deal done. Uh. they were able to get a deal done. Trey. Hendrickson feels like she's uh you're. going to take this. You're going to like. it. She could do that with the jumbotron. as well. The good news is uh it did say.

any overages in cost, anything over that. 470 million, the Bengals will pay. Okay. So, let's make sure that's going to be. 469 million. They're staying under that. That is going to end up being 469. million. We don't need to be that's bad. business. Why do we want to do that? And. Bengals fans fill that thing. I mean, Bengals fans are going to They'd fill up. a a dump. Yeah. You know, if it was a. dump, Bengals fans would go. That. environment is a college atmosphere over. there. Yeah. Like I feel like to to your. point right there with the fans, they.

might add like suites. You wonder if. they add those field level suites or. even uh kind of like what the Pacers did. with Gambridge where they put in like a. whole another floor on the lower bowl of. more. Oh, traffic. Yeah. Everything is. about traffic. Bathrooms in and out like. toilets. Yeah, old buddy uh Balmer. Balmer saying toilets in his press. conference. Obviously, a lot of people. mocked him for it. We celebrated it. because whenever you go to an event, waiting in line to go to the bathroom is. the worst part. Not only are you.

incredibly uncomfortable, you're also. missing a lot of the action. And if. anytime you hear loud noise, it's like. Andrew in pain. So, that is a massive. ordeal for a public outing, especially. whenever people's home experiences have. gotten so good. I mean, we got Quadbox. with YouTube TV. Obviously, we have air. conditioning. We have to deal with. people out there. Like people are cool. with not going outside these days. So, like whenever you're a venue, you're. competing with a lot of [ __ ] these days, you know? Got to have high speeded. internet for people. Got to have uh uh. obviously convenience in and out. You.

got to be able to like that's all like a. part of the live experience that. everybody is going to have to kind of. make a little bit better to keep people. coming. I think now granted Angles fans. are probably telling me we'd go to. anything and we saw that with the draft. night where you guys went to the stadium. and did a little run on the hundreds or. whatever bought TVs. We sold out. Yeah, we know the Bengals fans are supportive, but we're saying to fill these stadiums, the NFL, I think going forward. understands and I think everybody. understands like, hey, we got to make. this like a good experience for people.

This is a lot of money and staying home, we we love it because we're getting TV. deals, but staying home is really good. right now, especially to watch sports. And also like when we've been fortunate. enough like when you go to a couple of. these stadiums that are new or like are. brand new, it's like every NFL stadium. needs to be like this cuz like you go to. like the Raiders stadium like and. granted we weren't there for a football. game, it was Wrestlemania, but like that. place is gorgeous. It's unbelievable. And then you go to some of these other. stadiums who need a facelift and it's.

like these guys aren't even playing in. the same league here. Well, just like. everything there's evolution, you know, the architects, the design of stadiums, like, hey, we can build this one for. sound. We got this for this. We found. out if we do this like what Ryan Smith. is doing right now with the the seats. moving and then coming back so they can. uh kind of handle the hockey rink as. they have to move out for the Utah. Mammoth and then just overnight if we. got a Jazz game, let's just go ahead and. move that in here. we're good. That's. going to cost so much money to make that.

happen. But like that is what it is now. Like you got to create this [ __ ] You. got to make it worthwhile for people to. go. Like Atlanta, Mercedes-Benz, that. place has every seat has like a good. angle of the field. And then of course. the the owner keeps all the prices for. everything. I mean, you The food is. good. The food is good. Who is it? Who. What's the company? Um, not Sedexo. We. said the name of it like a thousand. times when we were there. Uh, good food. Ara. there's. I don't remember but you talk about.

Atlanta though then you can go over to. the Hawks what the Hawks did the Hawks. cleared out an entire section just made. it like a standing room only free food. free drink kind of mill around so you. don't feel obligated to sit in a tight. spot it's like people are getting. creative now these stadiums are getting. good excited to see what Cincinnati. Hamilton County and the Bengals come up. with over there for Por Stadium. Congrats to the Bengals getting a lot of. deals done. anything with Trey. Joining. us now, ladies and gentlemen, the host. of the weekly wrap-up of the rap sheet. and friends, us being the friends, he. being rap sheets, senior NFL insider for.

NFL Network and NFL.com, and the host of. the insiders. Ladies and gentlemen, Ian Rapaort, what's up? What's going on? How's the. rap sheet house? I know. Uh, empty. nesting all of a sudden for the summer. Um, we're okay. It's tough. Uh today was. the day I would say uh 45 minutes ago. said goodbye uh for the last time for. seven weeks. We we will be there for. visiting day. That'll be nice. But. believe that uh it's been tough. Really?

Okay. So I for my head I thought it was. five weeks and I thought it was absurd. Yeah. Then you just dropped in there two. extra weeks on that. Seven weeks. straight. His boys Max and Jude. Uh I. saw Max this morning. He was jacked. a. bad could not wait to get out of that. house for 7 weeks. Jude, I feel the same. way. Whenever we learned of you doing. this with your kids, basically just. shoeing them out into the woods for 7. weeks in the middle of the summer, I. think we were all pretty shocked. Do you. do you encounter more people on your.

side or on our side of the whole thing. that it's a pretty wild situation? Cuz I. think I grew up in Pittsburgh. I don't. think that is like a It's a regional. thing. Definitely. Northeast. Yeah. Okay. It it really is like a northeast. I mean, uh you're right. Like I would. say for us like half of our friends are. like that sounds great cuz they know how. much the kids love it. Like it is there. I mean you heard Max today, Pat. Like it. is Max's like heaven. Like he counts. down the days from when he can be there.

And Jude loves it too, but for Max. that's like his like special place. And. so people are like that sounds amazing. for kids. Like how do we do that? And. then other people are like, "Yeah, I. would never send them away for for one. day." Um, yeah, it is. It is. I have to. say though, I'm a little sad. I know. it's going to be great for them. I'm a. little sad today. There was some tears. at the bus. That was a challenge. Oh, they take a bus. You don't even drop. them off. You kick them into a. Greyhound. Say, "Get the fuck." Is that. is that Yeah. I mean, it's it's nicer. than a Greyhound. There's like, you.

know, nothing against Greyhound. Uh, but. uh there's TV screens. They had some. like Fritos and a sandwich. What? see, you know, all the good stuff they bring. So, they can just happy when they leave. How long can they call you? Okay. Go. ahead, AJ. Sorry. Can do they get like. one call over the seven weeks? How's it. work? Can they contact you? Uh, we get a. call after 10 days. Um, and then. basically like every other week, um, we. get a call. So, we also get a call on if.

it's your his birthday. So, uh, we get. to talk to Max on his birthday. That's. very nice of that camp allowing you to. speak. Do you have a code set so they. can give you a code if things aren't. going great and they're like, "Hey, you. know, the the clock strikes 12 at. midnight, Dad." They tell you, "Hey, come get me. There's bad things." Yeah. Like code word. Code red. Code red. You. know that that theoretically they could. uh they could write us in a letter. They. all write letters. Max does. Yeah. But. the counselors are reading those letters. before letting those out of there. No, no, no, no, no. I think we're wondering.

about lunch has been cancelled. Yeah. due to lack of hustle. That's what I I. think we're all kind of thinking. Exactly. This amazing camp is not like. that. Um that camp was pretty cool, too. Yeah, I watched that camp. Hilarious. That camp was very hilarious. Um 7 weeks. we're out in the I talked to Max, his. son, his boy this morning. I did. And. I'll tell you what, he was jacked. I. believe we actually have uh a video that. has been sent over by audio. Hi, I'm. Jude Rapaort. I'm Maxport. We're heading.

to Fiji. Bye, Pat. Bye. See you in seven. weeks. All right. See you, boys. All right, boys. Go get them out there, boys. They. say Fiji. That's what I think that's. what they just call it. They call it. Alligator Alcatraz or they call it Fiji. That's where Love Island actually is. They call it They're going out in the. middle of nowhere. Never going We know. those guys are ready for that. Yeah. Amen. Amen. Okay, let's talk a little. football, shall we? Congrats to the. Raport family. I know this is a big deal. for all of you and we've experienced.

this alongside rap now for the four. years. I think Max said he has done. this. So we were there like the first. year you did this and wow we thought you. were a horrendous father. I I mean you. could feel our. now now it's like feels like the boys. love it feel in the life experience and. living away from home having to get over. the homesick meet new friends have to. take care of yourself learning new. skills I I don't think I'd be able to. ever do it because obviously kids play. sports I think and that's kind of goes.

through summer every once in a while. I. don't know how that kind of gets handled. in this situation, but like Yeah, I get. it. I mean, they play a ton of sports at. camp, but like there's a couple travel. like mostly for travel baseball for. lacrosse that they can't do cuz they're. away and like that kind of sucks, but. they get a lot of sport. Yeah, but. they're still they're up there. How old. are they? What's that? How old are the boys? How. old are the boys? Uh, they're 10 and Max. Jude's 10, Max is almost 12. It's. amazing as a 10-year-old going to have. to experience life. I assume it's quite.

a head start. Yeah, definitely. Like I. would go in soccer tournaments like I. went to Europe a couple times as a. teenager and like that was I felt like a. uh I felt like a very cultured. individual coming back, you know, seeing. how seeing how like other people and. then I had teammates obviously that were. from like New York City and like even. more Italian somehow out of Jersey and. all these other places, you know, it's. like getting a chance to meet all these. people. That's a good thing I think for. life experiences. Seven weeks away from. your parents though is an insane move. Yeah. Yeah. the uh the private school.

that I ended up transferring to. I. missed this because it happens freshman. year, but like with incoming classes. since it's this is New England in New. England. Yeah. Incoming classes the. first four weeks um I guess the first. two weeks because they go for a full. month. The freshman class goes up to. this place, Bivwack, and it's like a. camp. It's a campground like that. And. they spend the first a month in in this. camp getting to know like your high. school class. Do you think like it's a. great idea by the way to bring everybody. together? It is. Yeah. It's like.

training camp whenever training camp. somewhere else which we will dive into. here in a little bit with uh you rap. after we wrap up this conversation. Do. you think New England has just been. doing it since the beginning of time? It's just kind of one of those things. I. do. Yeah, actually. Especially with New. Hampshire in Maine in Vermont. Like that. that is it's very very common to use. Get these kids out of our house. Yeah. There's lakes up there too. So like. there's so many different spots you can. put campgrounds around. It gets rowdy up. there though. I've heard some stories. about some kids up up at camp. Yeah, I. assume Max and Jude are really I think.

they probably enjoy a little bit of the. freedom. Now, if I had that freedom at. that age, I would probably try to be. working some hustle. I don't know what. the hustle would be at the camp, but I. assume there is some sort of figure out. Yeah, there would be something. And I. hope Max and Jude are doing the same. exact thing. Uh, okay. Let's talk a. little bit about the NFL. Talking about. hustle, $120 million will be paid by the. Cincinnati Bengals. Uh the other 350. million will be paid by Hamilton County. for renovations to Payor Stadium. Do we. have any other information on this? Like. is this supposed to happen this off.

season by next football season? When is. the renovation going to take place? Because anytime we see a stadium have to. get worked on, normally people aren't. allowed to be in the stadium while it's. getting worked on. In stadium. construction, we assume long time. So. how do these renovations kind of work? And did we know this was going to. happen? Was there ever a chance. Cincinnati Bengals were going to leave. Cincinnati? you know, I I didn't. personally think there was a chance they. were going to leave. And I sort of lean. on, you know, there's a couple of of. these other ones that are still like. ongoing where it's like there's some. doubt. Like Cleveland's doing one,

Chicago's doing one where it's sort of. like, are they going to leave the city? Are they not? And you know, you can see. like if you Kansas City is another one. If you're some other place, literally. any other place, you're you're dying for. for a stadium, right? because of how. many people come in, because of what it. sort of means for your area, because you. can build up all around with bars and. restaurants and entertain. I mean, you. can do you can do a ton of things. So, it's like there is competition from some.

of these other places. And what they do. is they offer money, right? I mean, they. offer public money to say like we are. going to lure you away and and that was. obviously um that was going on here. Um, I am happy just for me, someone who I I. like stadiums to be in cities. I like. Cincinnati and where it is and I know. for the fans like it's a it's a great. spot. Um, I was happy this got done. Um, as far as the details, I'm not sure, but. I don't believe it's going to affect. anything football-wise. Like the only.

thing that really does affect football. is when they are like materially. changing the stadium. Um, I think this. is going to be okay because I haven't. heard that they're going to play in. another place. But I would agree this is. very very good news for Cincinnati. And. then, you know, it's it's already been a. place that people will want to play. because they have Joe Burrow and they're. going to be very good. And I think this. helps. How about Trey Hendrickson? What. do we got going on there? You know, still nothing. Um, I would say as you.

get closer to training camp, um, you. know, we'll see if we'll see if this. ends up getting done. I remain. optimistic that they're going to find. the number, get it done, lock them in. long term just because that's what. that's what everybody wants. Um, you. know, I was at uh I was at tight end a. couple days ago in Nashville talking to. some of the other No big deal. There's. Bengals and no big deal. I didn't I. didn't hang out with Taylor, but I did. hang out with some of the other people. Uh, which, you know, missed that night, which is whatever. Wouldn't It's not. like you want to see any. That's not. really a rap she That's not a miss. You.

would not miss that. That seems like the. only event you would go to correct down. bad cuz how the how many people were not. just we didn't obviously I don't think. anybody knew Taylor was going to perform. they just had that conversation but. everybody else that was there the amount. of rap sheet oh yeah hey you want some. tequila talk a little bit booze was. flowing yeah there's a lot of that would. have been I tried to get back and forth. in one day so I wouldn't miss the kids. cuz they're they're leaving. the night before I will tell you this.

good dad the night before there was like. a little party in a bar um with all you. know all the tight ends. Wendy Taylor. was there and I heard a story about some. like semi you know like teenager comes. up to her doesn't say anything takes a. selfie with her and then tries to walk. away and she grabbed him around the. shoulders in a big bear hug and like. took her own selfie with him. That's. awesome. And I mean that's the kind she. was just hanging out with everyone and. I'm like definitely wouldn't have wanted. to been there um for nights. Yeah. She.

would have thought you were a little. child. Come here, old guy. Buddy, where. are your pants? She She was tall. She. was a sick boy. She's definitely taller than I mean the. if she took the selfie that she'd have. to do on a knee. There's a chance. I. mean, she's very athletic. We thought. about her potentially becoming a part of. the women's Olympics flag football team. because I mean, she's a tight end. You. She's with Travis Kelce, one of the. greatest receivers, just receivers of. all time. She's tall, athletic, see her.

move. dance. She's She has great memory. obviously. Hey, need you to run a little. Yeah, that's a great thought though. Stick nod. She's a football girl at this. point. She is. I mean, that's She's. going to tight end university playing in. Nashville in front of a thousand people. Yeah. Hey, that's some G [ __ ] Oh yeah. And then I think uh good. That is good. [ __ ] That's that good [ __ ] That is. that good [ __ ] That is uh that is. awesome. Okay, last thing about. Cincinnati here before we move to new uh. stuff. the coolest looking guy in the. room, whatever room he is in. Connor has.

a question for you. Yeah. Welcome to the. Jungle Rap. Uh I wasn't gonna say. anything, but God, that's amazing. Go. ahead. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I appreciate. that very much. And please call call me. sir. Uh but with the Bengals, the other. situation is Shamar Stewart. Uh that. kind of came out of nowhere. Now it's. become this whole entire thing. Is there. any sort of progress when it comes to. his contract? And is it still just being. held up over that one small thing that. the Bengals have never put in any.

contracts before and wanted to start. doing this with Shamar? Yes. Uh it is what this is what it's. coming down to. And and I saw some. comments from the agent Zach Hillary who. was saying well if they want to take. this basically if they want this new. language they should offer us something. This is kind of one of the problems with. these rookie deals. There's not a lot to. offer. There's not a lot to negotiate. right. I mean, this is the same problem. that Rocoan Smith ran into, and that was. over a different issue that was over. offset language. But the teams don't.

have a ton to give because the money. set, it's all guaranteed anyway. Uh, signing bonus is set. You can, you know, say like, "All right, we'll pay you in. September or December." Like, it doesn't. matter. You're getting it all anyway. Um, so there's just not a lot to. negotiate from. You know, this should. get worked out. There is literally no. reason that this shouldn't get worked. out. And you know, from the Bengals. standpoint, a lot of the teams around. him use similar language. I don't. believe that this would actually affect. any any guaranteed. Oh, so this is.

normal. Wait, this is normal? It's Well, it's not normal for the Bengals, but. it's normal for teams for plenty of. other teams. More than half the teams. use a similar language, but the Bengals. haven't. So that's why you could sort of. see both sides like, okay, well, why me? And the bankers, why not now? My. understanding was that it wasn't a lot. of people. My understanding was that it. was brought out of nowhere. That's like. kind of how I was uh kind of talking. I. also I also don't think it, you know, again, easy for me to say it's not my. contract, but I don't believe this will.

affect very much at all. Um it's all. guaranteed. Uh so I mean it's this. should get worked out a couple days. before camp. We've seen so many early. contracts this year. So hold on. Did the. Bengals tell them, "Hey, we've never. done this before. We're going to do. this." they get access to the previous. year's first round Cincinnati Bengals. contract. Yeah. So, the union, you know, which advises agent, the NFL PA, which. advises agents and sort of not helps. them, but like tells them what they need. to know. Um, you know, has has obviously.

had conversation with the agent to be. like, "All right, well, this wasn't this. didn't exist last year for the Bengals, but now they're trying to put this in. They're trying to sort of what was the. word given? Like specify, clarify." Oh, yeah. you know, so I I don't know. I. mean, to me, it's it should get done. More than half the teams do it, though. And if they did it last year, then is. the union telling the agent, hey, they're doing this when most some other. teams don't? That's an interesting. little dilemma there, cuz I was on side. completely when I heard I'm like just. putting a new clause in, you're not even.

allowed to have it. If over half the. teams are doing it, the Bengals not. doing it for the previous time, makes. sense for Yeah. What teams though? Like. are all the teams that I feel like is it. good teams or cheap teams? Is it cheap. teams? I was told a lot of the teams. around them in the draft. So I I uh you. look at the I mean I I don't know. specifically. I don't want to say. anything wrong. Um but I was told more. than half the teams used. Okay. Okay. That's a good piece of information. We. need to have that be our thoughts going. forward and hopefully they're able to. get the job done. And Shamar, I think.

you're going to be great over there in. Cincinnati. Brand new stadium. That's. right. Players are lipstick on that. thing. Players are pretty excited about. him. Like he should be he is he should. be good. Great talking. We loved. everything about it. Go ahead, AJ. Yeah, Ian, I saw the NFL suspended Justin. Tucker the first 10 weeks. I guess that. doesn't mean the first 10 games. technically. What are the chances? I I. assume that he's already appealing or he. already has appealed this, but is. another team going to sign him up before. that? I think he accepted. Okay. So, he. has not appealed. Um, now it's it's.

interesting and I was reading some. comments from the lawyer of the of the. uh accusing women today. So basically he. has accepted the NFL's ruling, the NFL's. investigation, the contents of it, saying he wants to move on, but then. also says that uh he's innocent and is, you know, basically didn't do what they. alleged, which I know has sort of. frustrated the lawyer of these accusers. cuz basically like in their mind like he. did not take did not take accountability. for this. Um but the NFL did their.

investigation um which this lawyer uh. commended and basically stood by and. yeah he's out the first 10 weeks. The. reason why it's not 10 games is because. he's a free agent and so you know my. guess is he'll remain a free agent for. most of the first half of the season and. then it's going to get really. interesting because you know all this. stuff with Justin Tucker it's all real. You know, the NFL is determined that he. did it, suspended 10 weeks, but then. like you come early November, like he's. one of the best kickers in history.

He'll be available for someone if they. want to deal with signing someone who. went through all this and did all this, which some teams won't, but some teams. will. And he actually becomes a really. interesting free agent as you get into. November and December. Like, is someone. going to sign him? And then like if a. team does sign him, is he once again. determining like huge huge games? Once. again, I would like to just reiterate. the fact that like massage therapy is. such a massive piece of professional. athletics like such a massive piece of.

it. It is just become the norm for most. professional athletes at some point to. flush your muscles and flush your body. So, the fact that that is kind of being, you know, I don't want to say uh treated. as if it's not like a re like, you know, like some people view it and be they're. talking it's it's terrible that this has. happened. I don't think it's good that. it's happened multiple times now with. professional athletes. And I think like. if you think about the entire state of. where we are with medicine and recovery. and everything like that, it's like that.

can't be happening. Like that shit's. disgust. Like let's come on. The NFL's. investigation. What is that? Is that a. third party that does the investigation, reports back to the NFL? Is it the. actual NFL? How does that how do those. things work? Uh, 10 minutes is a lot of. that's a big suspension. That's a big. suspension. It's a lot. I mean, that. that is that is an indication of what. they found and how serious and and you. know, so for instance, just so we could. put this into uh, you know, a better.

just like about how big of a suspension. this is. Miles Garrett $40 million. contract. Let's say he's making $40. million a year even though signing. bonuses are in there. Let's just say his. salary is $40 million. Yeah. Yeah. That's over half the season. Not that's. like a 20 million plus fine. That's like. a You know, that's a huge This is a. gigantic 10 weeks is a long time. That. is a long time. So the investigation had. to have said something. Who does the. Yeah. Who does the investigation? Um so. the NFL has investigators. Um the NFL. has people that they I don't want to say.

contract, but basically assign uh this. case. And you know a lot of times now. this was uh civil and you know the. lawyers said they may end up sort of. left the door open for a potential. lawsuit but as you know with like. Deshaawn Watson which is the only other. similar case we've had for this like. that was a series of civil cases that. were going on and you know if there is a. um a legal matter like if you know like. what's what's a good like okay Rasheed. Rice right his situation the trouble he.

got into from a couple off seasons ago. Um, that's still in in the legal system. So, the NFL will basically address that. when the legal process is over. Got it. This wasn't like that. So, the NFL, they. do their own investigation, they do. their own interviews, they come up with. their own set of facts, and a lot of. times it coincides with what the. authorities come up with, but not. always. Um, and you know, 10 games is a. lot. I believe did Deshawn 11. Is that. right? I'm trying to I believe that's. right. Yeah, I think that's right. I.

mean that's that is an indication of how. very very serious they took this. Okay. Well uh moving forward can't have it. just at this moment forward never going. to happen again. Can't happen again. Uh. let's chitchat about some other free. agents shall we? Go ahead con man. Yeah. R sheet. There's still a bunch of free. agents out there. Stuff on Gilmore. Keenan Allen Amari Cooper. There are. others as well. Are teams reaching out. now? Are conversations already started.

with these guys? I know with some of the. um you know elder statesmen they're. going to join you know August maybe even. late July. When do you expect some of. these signings and what teams are. reaching out the most trying to add to. what they have? Yeah. So I would say uh. you mentioned a couple of them. Gabe. Davis I would put in there. Um remember. taking a couple visits to the Saints and. the Steelers. He's free but yeah Keenan. out Amari Cooper I haven't heard a ton. on. Um, you know, and there's a couple. others like, you know, Stefan Gilmore,

who, um, I believe still wants to play. Zad Darius Smith is another one. Um, you. know, it's a combination of Rul Douglas. is another one. Um, it's a combination. of, you know, they don't want to go. through the spring and like why would. they sign until they have to or like. they just like a little more money. And. you know, you really for if you're a. free agent, the leverage comes right. before training camp when like you want. a hole filled before camp or like two.

weeks in when you see your rookies and. you're like, I thought this guy was. going to contribute but he's not. I now. need a veteran corner or a veteran. receiver or whatever. And there's, you. know, a couple teams that are still. they're still looking like if the. Dolphins trade Jaylen Ramsey, which I. expect they might sign a corner. Steelers are still looking for a. playmaker whether it's receiver, tight. end. Um, you know, there's there's a. couple other teams. Ravens member signed. Jier Alexander, they were kind of one of.

those teams just looking for one little. more piece. Um, but that probably in. like probably three weeks starts to heat. up a little bit. Where's uh Ramsay. looking at right or who's reaching out. for Ramsay right now? When would that Is. that the Steelers? Is that what was. being said? Is it? You know, I I don't. see that happening. Um, I don't see. Jaylen Ramsey getting traded to the. Steelers. Not like, you know,

um, there's no chance I know the actual. lyrics. Um, I I mean, I wouldn't be. surprised. I wouldn't be surprised if there was. interest from the Steelers because they. really have. I mean, Omar Khan has been. very open-minded about everyone. available, it seems, which I kind of. love that respect. Let's talk about the. Steelers. Can we Can we elaborate on the. Steelers? Yeah, because it sounds like. Jaylen Ramsey, you're not 100% sure. Omar Car in any other teams. I don't. think so. Let me just I don't think. Ramsay for the Steelers. The Rams are.

the ones that make the most sense to me. It's just a really difficult deal to do. given the money. So, we'll see if they. can figure it out. Can't spell Ramsay. without Rams. Rams. Holy [ __ ] Yeah, that's that's what they were saying. before whenever they literally nailed. it. Need Miami to pick up some of the. tab, I think, is probably what LA Rams. are going to say. That's what I assume. that's what McVey is going to say over. there in the boys. I assume they're. going to say Yeah, right. That's. probably what's holding it up. Y Yeah, got it. Okay, let's go to the Steelers. AP Tony in a really cool hat from Taylor.

Lewan has a question for you. Thank you, Pat. Uh yeah, Ian, I've seen over the. last week from the uh It is a cool hat, isn't it, Ian? It's wouldn't be my. style, just being totally honest. Wa. Why not? He's little weak. What's this guy from? He's kind of I. mean there's no there's no shade. It's. just like I have a different style of. cowboy hat. No shade. There's a lot of. shade all the way around. Cowboy hat. That's the purpose. Bowler hat. It's a. What is it? A safari hat? It's a. rockstar hat, brother. This is what. rockstars wear. Looking cool. The.

governor. Clearly, you've never been on. a safari or watched Zack Brown do. anything. Yeah. I mean, or seen Dr. The. only the only country guy I like is uh. is your guy Parker. That's the That's my. only guy. Album out last night at. midnight. Okay, download that now. Self. title. We'll call him. Yes, he can. Can. he not? Yeah, that was actually he was. he's publicly attacked not being able to. sing. That's right. That was like the. perfect thing for somebody to say about. him because he's like actually Oh, really? that is my [ __ ] I actually came. to Anyways, back to the Pittsburgh show.

Stop distracting from the story, please. Yeah. And he hates country so that's why. he didn't stay for Taylor's uh act. Um, I've been seeing over the last I've been. seeing from the last week, uh, I don't. know where they're getting it, but the. local Pittsburgh aggregators are now. reporting, uh, that they are hearing. that TJ's going to get more than 40. million, more than Miles Garrett. I I. believe I asked you or someone recently. and that was not the case. Do you do you. think that's changed and where we. sitting with TJ?

Um, I have not heard that. Um I if he. gets more than Miles, I would say that. is awesome for TJ. Like he's you know. these are the guys you pay. Like he's. great. He's a good good guy. He is a. face of that franchise and like these. are the kinds of guys who should get. paid all of the money and should retire. as a member of the Steelers or whatever. you're like I hope he gets it. Um, it's. a tough these are tough deals to do. And. I would say, you know, similar to Trey. Hendrickson because as you get a little. older on these third contracts, you're.

still awesome, but you are getting. older. And so, like, teams have to. square that and kind of figure it out. You know, there's there's different ways. to structure it where teams can protect. themselves and players can still get the. money. Um, I still believe it's going to. work out. Um, but I hadn't I hadn't. heard that number and I hadn't heard. that anything is imminent. Um, and the. Steelers, you know, they do take things. right up to the start of the season. before they just cut it off. Um, so I I. think we got a ways to go on this one. Good news, though, uh, because the way.

the Steelers are currently sitting, only. paying a quarterback about 10 million. bucks. And then the goal hopefully from. what it sounds like is Aaron passes the. torch to Will Howard. Will Howard will. be on a rookie deal, a fifth round. rookie deal, which is much less for the. next four years, foreseeable future. So. if you are to pay somebody now and. including last year would be a good time. to do it. If you're the Pittsburgh. Steelers, that's a quarterback contract. though. Yes, it is. That he would be. getting the quarterback contract for the. Pittsburgh Steelers. Yes. Like uh but uh. 42 million bucks is a it's a quarterback.

contract for sure. Yeah. But like no, there is no imminent big quarterback. contract coming whether you know whether. it is Will Howard next year or they have. to or they watch Will this year and they. decide he's not the guy or whatever and. they have to draft another rookie next. year. Like there's not a huge. quarterback contract on the books. anywhere in the near future. And if it. feels like if we listen to Watt Watt. Watt has been saying uh JJ. he's talking about his own deals and. he's saying if you get these done. earlier you know everybody's happy too.

you're able to get a lower price. everybody's happy everybody feel if you. just continue like I think he was. talking about the Trey Hendrickson. situation where you're like hey we'll. get we'll take care of you next off. we'll take care of you next off. seasonason at some point the players. going to be like all right you got to. yeah even if they're the most committed. player to the team it's like Hey, everybody else around me is getting paid. market value except for me. I'm trying. to be the good guy. You said you'll do. it. And then inevitably you've delayed. this to a point where now the market is. what it is. Like this is just kind of. how it goes. And I'm not saying there's.

any heat between TJ and the Pittsburgh. Steelers or the Pittsburgh Steelers and. TJ Watt or Yenszers and TJ Watt or. anything like that. But it is like TJ. seemingly he's got to a point where he's. like, I feel like I've been good by you. guys. And uh I think that's very fair. for TJ to do. Same with Trey Hendricks. rap sheet. I I agree. And this is why. like no one should be I know fans kind. of don't love this but like these guys. are awesome and they should get rewarded. like. in the NFL. Some not everybody's.

awesome. A majority of people are. awesome though. But not these guys. These guys are awesome. Yeah. Yeah. You're right. These Sorry. Sorry. You. were I thought No, no. It's You're. right. I mean, not everyone deserves all. the money. Um, but yeah, no one should. be no one should be upset at these guys. wanting money. It has not affected I. know it's been like a story of the. offseason. It hasn't affected the team. in any negative way cuz they haven't. played and both these guys have played. awesome. So like they should get the. money and I think they will. We've put. uh TJ on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

schedule graphic uh cuz we all just kind. of assume they're going to do that. Have. not put Trey Hendrickson on the. Cincinnati Bengals. No kidding. Yeah, we. assume you assume it's going to get done. though. You said you're optimistic. So, I believe what you're saying, especially. in this empty nest syndrome that you are. currently battling with your boys. leaving today for 7 weeks. Let's stay in. the defensive end quarterback hunting. world. Go ahead, Foxy. Ian, what about. Aiden Hutchinson? Is he going to get. extended this off season or the are the. Lions going to wait and see how that leg. is holding up? Uh, I'll answer the second part first. I.

do not get the sense that the Lions are. nervous about Aiden's recovery or rehab. or his leg. like it seems like it's. going great. Um it seems like it seems. like they have a lot of confidence in it. and I think I think they should. He. looks good. Um I traditionally what the. Lions have done is take care of their. awesome players early and with huge. salaries like they did it with Su. Um. they did it with.

St. Brown. McNeel Kirby Joseph. Right. All right. Here you go. Um, you don't know [ __ ]. We'll do your job. Hey, we'll do your. job, Ian. Yeah, we'll do your job. We've. seen you. Hey, we've seen you summer. Well, I understand. And the kids, the. boys just left. We saw you look left. there. Is there a Is there a note board. right there of all the notes to your. left? Uh, no. My noteboard's over Oh, yeah. Over over there. Well, I have like. all my uh all my outstanding issues that. like need to be solved that I have to. remind myself to check on throughout the.

summer. Haven't heard Hutch's name much. in any of these conversations that we've. had. It's on the board. No. Yeah. I'm. saying he's on your board. We haven't. really even broached the subject of. Hutchinson. We assume he's going to be. healthy and then I think at one point we. assumed he was going to get paid, right? Wasn't that like just kind of the the. narrative? Yes. Exactly. Is that So. that's going to happen cuz he's got two. years left, right? I I He's got he's got. option. They extended Su when he had two. years as as well. Okay. So that is why. people are saying uh precedent has been.

set that this would be when they would. reward somebody, especially if they. showed up in the way that they did. He. was potentially going to be a defensive. MVP last year. Oh, exactly. He was. outrageous. He finished, didn't he. finish like top 10 in pressure still? There was some absurd stats. or whatever it was. Yeah. Yeah. That had. to suck so bad for him. Hey, I he had. figured out the NFL. Yeah. I think he. led the league in like percentage of. defensive snaps at one point, too. Yeah. He was defensive MVP like on track. like, hey, this was hometown guy doing.

it for the hometown team, living up to. the hype of everything that they've said. and he was on the track and it's like, holy [ __ ] this is the next one. And. then all of a sudden it just gets taken. from you, man. Yeah, he was the first. one to go and then basically the whole. defense got injured after that. Oh yeah, I remember there was just cuz you guys. played the Colts and you had like two of. your starters still playing from the. injury bug. Exactly. Branch, everybody. All right. Rap McNeel, Barnes. Yeah, the. whole Carlton Davis. Yeah, they they. went through they still number one seat. I mean, you know, 15 and two. And then.

in the first playoff game, what was it. like the first series where Amir. Robertson who is already replacing. Carlton Davis had his arm bent and. shattered against the Commanders? Are we. not talking enough about how the Detroit. Lions are the team poised to make a. Super Bowl run next year? Kelvin. Shepard, now new DC, friend of the. program, absolute. dog. Dan Campbell. I've only seen a. couple photos, but I assume he's. breaking chains. I mean, Frank Ragna.

retired. That is huge. Huge. Yeah. Big. Johnny Morton, new OC. Yep. Well, entire. new coaching staff. I mean, like the. whole whole coaching staff except for. Yeah. Well, Kelvin was on the. linebacker, so he was there. He was a. little familiar. So, what happened to. the Eagles, though? What? Eagles went to. the Super Bowl, lost their entire staff, and then it took them a couple years to. get back. Then what did they do? And. then they won the Super Bowl. By how. much? By what was it? 30 points. So. much. So many points. 25 or something. I.

saw Saquon Barkley talking about it. Uh. he's been doing some media. Mhm. Doing. some golf stuff. You still golfing even. more now. Jesus. Every day. Max and. Jude. Where are they? I don't know. Where are the clubs? Is that Is that I'm. starting I'm starting to play I'm. starting to play pretty well now, too. Hell yeah. Have you heard about me? I'm. getting back into the game. Are you? Yeah. We're going to do a golf thing. We're we're we're investing money in. You could certainly be a part of it. You. can certainly be You would have to fly. out here to Indie though. Is that okay?

When? Right now? I'm going to Mexico. tomorrow. So, Max and Jude, go to the. woods. We're going to the beach. Hey, you can't talk to for 10 days anyway. You might as well. Unrelated. You guys. are going to be heartbroken not being. able to talk to your kids. Might as well. look at a beach and uh have a good time. down in Mexico. Of course. All right. All right. So, in a few weeks, we can. put it on the docket that you'll uh. you'll come out to Indianapolis. All. right. I'm doing a golf fun. We're doing. a golf thing. A philanthropic golf. thing. Mhm. It's going to be cool. It. is. We've invested in this already.

pretty mightily. Uh so, we're kind of. forcing ourselves to do this. Going to. need a golf course to cooperate. Think we got one. I think so. Yeah. Seems positive. And if we do, we're. going to be golfing. And I'm going to. need you. I'm going to need your rep. We're going to be a team. We're not be. playing against each other. And I need. you to be positive. And I need you to be. good. Yeah. And boozed up. I can. definitely be positive. And boozed up. I. need you to smoke some uh vitamins if. you want to. Whatever you need to get. that swing properly lubricated, you're.

going to be playing some really good. golfers, I think. Yeah. Like you and me. will be taking on me and some like, you. know, Yeah. As long as I'm getting. strokes, we'll be okay. No, that's not. how it works. Yeah. You're not. And your. name will be up there for how bad. It'll. be your name, not mine. It'll be your. name on the leaderboard, not mine. So, look forward to that. We're figuring it. out as we speak. But we will look. forward to your visit to Indianapolis. You're the man. Ladies and gentlemen, Ian Rapore. Y. Have a good vac. Yeah.

For what? 7 week vacation you're about. to take. I mean, I The kids love it. yada yada yada. Sending your kids away for almost two. months in the middle of the summer is. [ __ ] insane. It it also Don't you do. a lot of parenting during summer? Yeah. Cuz they're not at school. Now, they're. not going to know anything. They're not. going to recognize these kids. They're. going to change so much over these next. seven weeks. Max is going to come back. smoking sigs. He's going to have ours. are young. Ours are young. Let's not.

We have. talked to him before about the amount of. lengths. I think there is like a. four-week option, a fiveweek option, and. a sevenwe option. Jumbo package. I'll take the the bundle of days. All of. the days you possibly get. You guys. sports through the summer still or no? I. don't know. Yeah. I mean, I Yeah, there's sports every day. So, yeah, we. couldn't go anywhere. Yeah.

Lot of lacrosse. Yeah. A lot. of lacrosse. Um, yeah, lacrosse. AU. basketball. Baseball too, right? Baseball summer. Yeah.

I don't think we got to worry about. sports there. What? You don't know. No, I don't. But. uh I know I know that haircut stinks. Yeah, but I think that generation. probably has that I think Jude has the. haircut as well. I think everybody has. that haircut. Yeah, I bet it's in. Yeah, I bet it it sucks. What? Tell them to.

grow your hair. Is that what you're. going to say? I I've been telling. everybody that'll listen to grow their. hair out. How do you feel about this. leather jacket, AJ Hawk? I mean, you. have me intrigued on what is on the back. of that thing. You really do. I don't. know what it is. You may never know. I. think a lot of people do know. I think. you don't think anybody knows. [ __ ] you, Fox. Turn the camera. Don't try to do. this. Are you sweaty? Are you super sweaty in. that thing? Yeah, cuz I'm so freaking. hot. You should feel how.

You should feel how soft the leather is. It's 100% genuine leather. It's so nice. I need to wear pants with it. leather. pants with it. Con would really top it. off. I guess the middle finger did. breach the ESPN linear program here. They weren't able to find the blurer. They weren't able to find the blur. Good. for you. Such such an outlaw. That's the jacket, man. I I think they. could find the finger, but you look a. little slippery. Is that what they're. saying? A little slimy. Are you Wait, hold on. Hold on. What did you say? I. just think you look a little slippery.

like leather. You know, like those Moto. GP guys, they wear all the leather and. women in the. And then that the bike. see you and then they're just like a. like a turtle on it shell pop right up. That's what that jacket is. That's what. I'm talking about. Slippery. Yeah. Okay. I thought you were saying like you know. greasy. Yeah. Exact. You're talking. about like what the warmer play hot or. cold? Warmer. Well, I'm talking about. the lacrosse guy saying greasy play.

So you. like that you look like a like a dirt. bag is what you're saying. I think I. look like the man. So I don't know what. they're Well, that's what you were just. saying. We're just having a conversation. about it there. You were saying I I say. I could, you know, just looking up at. the leather and the pit and the buttons. and everything. I think there is a. certain culture that I would be more. accepted in. And maybe some people would. assume that those people are dirt bags. I wouldn't. No, me neither. But some.

people would. I think that's potentially. a jacket that I I would have worn at. some point in my life because of how. cool you look. Thank you. But I bet you. look cool, too. We should all get them. No, no, I'm past that chapter. No, I you. can go right back. That's the thing. about a book, man. You can read it. again. Yeah, but once you turn the page. you're supposed to do that's on bad. stuff. On good stuff, you should go back. and reread those pages. Yeah, relive. those moments. Yeah. Yeah. You're living. that moment right now. Why would I want. to do it? I'm on your page right now. You were riding a bike yesterday. That.

was awesome. you were just talking about. how great Back on the bike. Back on the. bike age. I don't know if you've seen. that. Old school bike. Old school. bicycle. Uh yeah, this one's like a. mountain bikey. Uh it's not an ebike. No. No. Yeah, Tim. Biking sweet, man. It. is. I can't do the Pelaton thing. I just. I've tried multiple times. I just can't. get into staring at that TV. Biking. outdoors. I saw your post like biking. outdoors and seeing things like it's. Yeah, it's great. It's like you're a. little kid again. I had a dyno as a kid. with pegs in the back doing tricks. Amen, brother. Yeah, we're all riding. around back in the day. I think Diamond.

Back was one of the bikes. Mongoose. Huffy. Woke up the next morning, somebody stole my bike. You know that. that was happening back in the day when. everybody had Yeah, exactly. But. yesterday, last night, I was going up a. hill, Indiana hill, obviously nothing. compared to Pittsburgh Hill. Stood up, started [ __ ] moving that bike back. and forth. Oh my god. I was like, "This. is it. This is what I've been waiting. for." Hot ass air just blowing through. the I was like, "This is it. This is. what we need. Need to keep doing that. Need to be fit. Need to have a great. weekend. Thank you all so much for.

allowing us to do this for a living. Have the greatest weekend of your life. We'll see you on Monday. Goodbye. Okay, that was almost as good as Travis. Pastroni yesterday with 30 concussions, nailing the heart out. Yeah. Yeah. By. the way, 30 on 30. That was 150 at a. zero. I cut him off because I was so. impressed just with the number 30 before. he said I think cuz he said documented. on camera out for a few seconds. 30. Yeah, they counted. And then I just. crashed a car 30 seconds ago. Yeah.

Before I came on here, I was upside down. in a vehicle. He said I had to flip that. back over in the mud and then come over. here and do this interview. Could have. got a concussion that I mean we have no. idea if he's fresh if he was still in a. concussion. Travis Prona of football. That was unbelievable. Toys go. Awesome. He is the goat. X game start tonight. Yeah. Oh, till Sunday 27. If Sam Massa. is on the call, which you said he is, right, Tone? Yes. will be worth. He's. like one of the smooth He's like He's. very smooth. Just like a very smooth.

host. Able to move here and there. I'm. happy he's back. Yeah, that'll be. awesome. Yeah, I think so. I'll watch. the X Games. No doubt. Hopefully younger. kids know S. You think the younger. generation knows of S. No, but they. going to learn today. Yeah, that's what. I think. I think it doesn't matter cuz. S's talent. Like I I I think you don't. have I don't think you have to know S. I. think you can learn of S to Tai. Schmidt's point. I think like it'll be. like, "Holy [ __ ] this guy should host. everything." He is the X Games. Yeah, I. think so. Like the the competitors. obviously, but like the first thing I.

think of when I think of the X Games is. Sal Masca. He's the host. Yeah, you are. at Sal's X Games. Exactly. Winter. What. did uh Pastana called him something? Pastana called him by like his full. first name. Like we're short. Okay. Yeah, I think that's his I follow him on. Instagram. I think it is Smma Masa. Okay, that's even cooler. I Yeah, definitely. Yeah, Sal Mascala's cool. Yeah, Salma Massaca also very cool. Could have been good for the X Games. back in the day. But uh we we put over.

S. I forget maybe two years ago, maybe a. year ago. And then he followed me on. Instagram and I'm full-blown adult at. this point. And I was like, "Holy shit.". I'm looking at I'm looking at a clip.

I. think I just assume he is. I'm sure he. is. Yeah. I assume he can just Sean. White was teaching him Flying tomatoes, teaching him the halfpipe. Sean used to do everything. Oh yeah. People forget those days. Early X Games. days, Shawn did everything. We're. skating. We're doing all the different. [ __ ] that's basically standing on one.

piece of whatever. And he's winning. everything. And then the announcement. came through. Was that a Red Bull. commercial? Monster commercial where. he's on a helicopter. And he was like, I. got a secret halfpipe. Red Bull. I think. Red Bull. He just became a halfpiper. after that. He like fully committed to a. secret and just had a helicopter just. taking him in the back of the [ __ ] up. the mountain. Hundreds. I mean, there. was a bunch of stuff on that where, you. know, if he was dating someone or. anybody who had to go and work on it, they had to sign NDAs so that anything. they saw Shawn White working on, they. weren't allowed to talk about it. It was.

crazy. Hey, he won for America. So, I I. appreciate the hell out of you. Mountain. Dew's, baby. Mountain Dew, baby. Yeah. All time. What? Junior juice. Drinking. Mountain Dew's baby. Is Junior still. moving Mountain Dew's? I assume. Yeah. Yeah. They don't call it Dale juice for. nothing. Hey, what's going on in the. skies down there in the south, Tone?

Was it Was it. There was It was Georgia one day and. then it was Bama the day before that. There both Bama and Georgia. Roll tide. Go dogs. I just hope it's not a.

precursor event. Uh there's been. meteorites the last two days that have. landed in those two states. I just hope. landed or just hit the sky. You saw it? I didn't I didn't see it hit the ground. Well, no. No. It disappeared behind the. trees, but it definitely landed. somewhere. It wasn't floating around. Yeah. I don't love what's happening. there. Especially because I saw a post. last night. Bennu's coming. Yep. Oh, yeah. Boo.

Bennu's coming, dude. September 24th, 2182. [ __ ] That's what I said. I'm sick of. it. suck. I don't like the Benu's just. out there [ __ ] lurking saying, "I'm. coming, bitch." I don't like that. I. don't like that at all. And I would like. to propose a plan for them. 2182. I. might not be alive. Might be, though. You never know. You're right. What are.

you laughing at, AJ? What are you Would. you not laugh? I might not be I might. not be alive either, but I do plan on. being alive. Okay, perfect. So, we're. all on the same page on site. Okay, 2182. We need to remember this. Maybe. when we do one of those things where you. put it in a bottle and you bury it and. then tell somebody a time thing. Time. capsule. We have the idea because we. don't know how it's going to be in 2182. Soon as that thing gets in cuz if we. know it's coming in that year already, we should know where it's going to be. coming in at, right? Everybody needs to.

pull their guns out and shoot that thing. as soon as it soon as it gets caught. Agreed. And then when that thing turns. into dust. Yep. That is just that's how. it has. Everybody needs to be on the. same page. Everybody on Earth with a. gun. Okay, I know it might be difficult, but everybody needs to be on the same. page. Everybody needs to know where to. aim. And we only need half the people to. hit it. Yep. Okay. Boom. Turn that thing. to dust. We win. Space. We need RPGs and. stuff, too. Humans [ __ ] win. What's. that? We need RPGs. We need new weapons. as well. We need to develop these as we.

go. I mean, a bunker buster going that. way would be good. That That would be. good. That would be the best option if. we could send a 30,000 pounder straight. at it outer atmosphere cuz we want that. thing to dissipate in the Let's go do it. right now. Send a bunker buster at it. now wherever it is. Yeah. Can we not. just put a little Cuz there's no. gravity. Take a while. So, we just need. to put a little fan on the back of one. of those, right? Yep. Tracker. Mhm. Yeah. Like a whaler. Just had that. thing go around. Find better. Oh, better. How can they How can they. pinpoint the day? September 24th. Don't.

ask questions. That's how good they are. Science, man. Read an astronomy book for. once. Yeah, I'm a Taurus, dude. You have. no [ __ ] idea. Mass times. acceleration. Ever heard of it? Nope. Oh, really? It equals velocity, [ __ ]. Yeah. Good to know. Hey, what does E. equal, brother? MC squ. We all know. exactly what that means, too. Okay. Yeah, we do, bro. I do. I do. Means this. ball's going in, [ __ ] This is for uh. Yeah. Yeah, it does mean that. I bet you.

don't even know what the gravity is. Yeah. Do you know what gravity is. number? I don't. But I do always wonder too like. are there any ships 9.8 m/s squared, [ __ ] Yeah. How does a cruise ship. float? I know the displacement and all. that stuff, but still. What' you say? How does a cruise ship float? How does a. plane fly? On water and in air. As Schgo. said, why are boobs good? Like that's. something would always say when you ask. these kind of guy questions. I saw you. guys were getting into the bottom of a.

lot of stuff over there. That linebacker. group, you guys really. Oh boy, that's great. Why was he in. there? H, why was he in there? Hey, real. quick. That's the right question I had. Hey, that is a lot. I mean, that's a. disturbing thing. I don't know how that. has not become I think it will as we. continue to go forward. Hard not to. think about. Um, Bobby Carpenter had a. video, the general, sorry, a video of. his boy and maybe 40 other kids doing a. sprint on a field. Do you see this?

Yeah. I thought to myself, that looks. like it's 2001 there. That looks like it. is. Uh, is that that neighborhood that. used to that field where everybody used. to go meet? No, that was a camp. actually. It was a camp actually that. Luke Fickle, Raes, and another guy Ryan. Miller all they started their foundation. like 25 years ago. It was a camp for. that. Okay. A lot of people at this camp. looked like it was in a neighborhood. A. lot of kids playing like I when I was. watching this I was like this is. awesome. Like this is what it used to. be. And also uh the general's boy has. the hair there. You he will pull away in. this particular race. Yeah. That's a.

carpenter. That's a win. Then he races. somebody who's like four years older. than him in the next race and he almost. gets him. Like we're talking it was a. good race. I was captivated. I was. watching the bowler. I was like this is. just I assume this guy's That's his. youngest. Yeah. His youngest Caleb. He's. a stud. He's gonna be a guy it feels. like. Oh yeah, sure. Let's Oh, I think. he might have got him. No, no, it's near. near. Yeah, it's R. It's like R3 at the. end as opposed to I think you saw R. seven or R six.

We talked about it in the. think tank. We're like, you know what? Today's the day. Check in. We check in. with the chat. We check in with the. chat. I think that's a good idea. We. turned it off today, didn't we? No, the. it was the complete opposite. Today we. said the embrace checking in with the. chat. What's up, chat? You just did it. again. Do you want to What's up, chat? What's up, chat? Tone didn't want to do.

this. That was fake. What you just saw. from that guy was fake. Uh AJ didn't. know anything about any of this, but I. think he's always excited to chat with. the chat. Yeah. Yeah. You know what's. chat? All right, we're done. We tried. We tried. All right, everybody have the. greatest weekend of your life. Um, what's the golf tournament this weekend? This is the Rocket Classic up there in. Detroit. Uh, I think it's going to be. difficult. I think it's going to be. difficult. Five under supposed to be the. cut line. Yes. Yeah, it was this. morning. Yep. Yeah, that is. You got to. play some really good golf. Where's the.

leader at 14 right now? Kings is at four. under yesterday. He didn't start today. yet. So, is that a par three course up. there? What are we playing? It's the. Detroit Country Club. I know it's old, which means it's very easy. I mean, we. cannot be having a 30 under winner here. Uh, it's Friday. I know. That's where. we're looking at. 30. It might be 38. Somebody went 11 under today. So, you. know, very getable goth. One dude on a. punch board. Yeah. What is this? Is this. Is this a P? Is this a TGL event? I. don't know anything about it. I'll be. honest. There was a 20-year-old that hit.

350 yard yesterday. I did see that. Yeah. What a monster. What a beast. Speaking of beasts, you guys see big. thump, big announcement at a big dumper. He will be participating in the home run. derby. Yeah. The MLB home run leader Cal. Raleigh, also known as Big Dumper or Big. Thumper, depending upon who you want to. make happy and who you want to piss off. Allegedly, Mom, not the biggest fan of. Big Dumper. Until we find out what Cal.

would like to be called, we don't we'll. say both. With that being said, Kyle. Raleigh will be joining the program on. Monday. Hell yeah. What? Yeah, we got. Big Thump on the show. Hell yeah. Thump. Big Thump catcher obviously leading the. MLB in homers. He's a beast. He uh bombs. balls. Good that he's in the home run. derby cuz normally we don't get the big. thumpers, right? Yeah. I mean, I don't. know. People have kind of started that. where they they say that guys who go. into the home run derby it [ __ ] up. their swing and then they start the. second half of the season with a huge.

slump. But I don't know if that's. necessarily true. I mean, he is hotter. than anyone else in the majors right. now. So, it makes sense. Like, they need. to do this. They need the home run derby. used to be incredible every single year. cuz guy like in the steroid era, guys. like Maguire and Sosa, like they did it. all the time and now it's kind of like. these guys don't necessarily want to do. it anymore. I don't know how much. there's to gain from doing it. like the. real big stars like we had show he did. it you know fairly recently but uh so. far him and Ronald Akuna Jr. like those.

are two very good participants. Yeah I. was going to say Ronald Kun Jr. is the. other one who's already accepted the. offer. How about Vlatty? Don't he bomb. balls? Vlatty's playing like absolute. dog shite this year. He got plunked. yesterday too. His uh his handouble. polar bear. Uh yeah. I mean he got. plunked in the hand. You said that's. what he does. Yeah. There was a bit of a. dust up between the guards and the Jays. Vlatty got his hand plunked, so he might. have a broken hand. Yeah, he's out right.

now. I haven't heard anything this. morning. Okay, we'll keep an eye on. that. He's a big swinger. You're saying. he's playing like [ __ ] right now. Okay. And then let's go to the polar bear. Polar bear that he lives for the home. run derby. So if if the invitation is. extended, I would assume that he will. accept. Bryce Harper going to do it. again? I haven't heard a lot. Where is. Where is it located? Atlanta. Don't we. think Don't we think they should have. burn some sage positive vibes into the. weekend? They should have people. pitching. I liked the sto Bryce Harper.

and his dad winning the home run derby. was awesome. That was really cool. moment. I remember how many five, six, seven in Washington. Yeah. Yeah. 10. years ago, however long that was, Bill. That was a cool moment. But the amount. of anxiety I felt for his dad throwing. deep like the last the final thing. And. it's like that's the only downfall of. the home run derby to me is my anxiety. for the [ __ ] pitchers because it's. like, "Hey, congratulations. You were. just dropped into the middle of the. biggest event of the year. What do you. do normally?" Uh, I'm a junior high. baseball coach. I was actually his first.

ever baseball coach. It's like, well, [ __ ] good luck and let's make sure we. [ __ ] hum some in there now. We need. good pitches because that's a massive. part of it all. Like the pitching is. it's the only part of it. because these. guys at, you know, getting getting fed. 50 mph fast balls, like they can all hit. homers on those. Couldn't they have like. a um yes, like a sentimental five balls. or something and then have like It's not. a That's not a bad idea cuz have them be. like two homers if like your dad throws. it and then boom, you have two homers.

Take their time out that they get switch. out cuz I've always said that. I was. like, I don't know why these guys don't. use the guy who's throwing them BP all. year. And have that have them out there. Have them like man. Some of them do, right? Don't some of them use their. coaching. Yes. And that's quite a use a. metal bat. Get if you do a certain. amount, you get a metal bat for like 10. swings. The kids will die in the. outfield because. put them bubbles on. Also, people would. hate this, but the pitching machines in. the MLB are so good now, they should. probably just roll one of those. Oh. yeah, we've seen those. So then we know. everybody's getting the same [ __ ] I. still think you can get like the.

sentimental pitches like five to 10. pitches, whatever it is. But it's at the. end it's almost like you are setting. somebody up who is not a famous person. to be in a worst case scenario. situation. I assume it's happened. I'm. happy I'm not remembering it. Got to get. tired. Imagine a high school coach got. to get tired. You might have throw over. 100 pitches for sure. And they have to. be gas. Like you and they got to be in. the right location like hey want it high. inside. That's what it turns into in. those final rounds. And then we're. watching the pitches. We're like come on. we can all see where the [ __ ] he needs. this at. And then boom. Like it is like.

a cool moment. Well, once they changed. it to timed rounds instead of guys. getting outs, cuz like you used to be. able to take pitches and it didn't it. didn't kill you. Now, if you got a. pitcher who can't find where you want. it, like you chew up 20 seconds and you. don't you don't swing. Okay, so let's do. sentimental five pitches. Have that at. the end. Bonus balls. Yeah. Like the. golden balls of the time and those are. worth two. Whoever it is can't be. somebody that is a professional pitcher, you know, and that's in the first round,

I think. Mhm. And then as you move. forward, it's just Yeah, I think it's. just machine. It's just machine in that. thing. Go ahead. No, no, you go. I was. just going to say if it it is true like. with the the laces and and all that kind. of stuff like they need to go back to. the juice balls for the home run derby. Oh, definitely cork them. Yeah, I'd be. shocked if they don't. I mean, I don't. know if we'll do metal bats, but we. should be [ __ ] corking that thing. Yeah, for sure. Yes, definitely. I never. understood that. Like, I like to see the. ball fly personally as a punter and as a. kicker. So in practice, I wanted the.

balls beat the [ __ ] up. Like I I want. these balls beat up. How come? Well, I. would like to see this [ __ ] go 75. yards. Like that's that's what I would. like to see. And then like Matt Stover. was on our team. He was the kicker for. the Ravens. He was a vastly different. operating style of kicker than me, but. he was obviously a legend. Very, very. good. You're talking about one of the. greatest of all time, but he was just. like so polar opposite of how I. operated. He wanted like the worst ball. I want the worst conditions in practice. I want the worst ball. So whenever I get. in the game, I know it'll be uh easier.

than what it was in practice. And I'm. like, you're mentally tougher than I am, brother. Cuz if I see a couple not turn. over on Friday, I'm [ __ ] going into. Sunday going, am I still am I still. going to be able to hit this thing? So I. uh I would assume whenever I think it. was Sammy. Yeah. In BP, he got hit uh. caught with Cork and they were like, he. just does that for BP. Everybody's like, [ __ ] [ __ ] That has to be. happening. And I think I would. personally in BP would be like, I want. to see these [ __ ] I want the most beat. up balls, most juice balls possible, and.

I want to put these things out of the. [ __ ] yard before this game. A lot of. guys used to do that. His thing though. was that one of the corkked bats that he. was using for BP got into his rotation. for the actual game. Broke. Shattered. the bat in one of his at bats and they. found that it was corkked. So, it was. like, "Oh, this son of a [ __ ] is. cheating." Oh, then big PR spin was No, it was his BP backpening. Sammy lately. I did. He looks good. We talk about I. agree. I can't. There's something that. looks different about him that I just. can't. He is older now. He's not as big.

as he was or what? No, he's black. He. lost He lost weight. He's black again. He was white there for like 10 years a. while. I think everybody was kind of. confused. That It might have been an. edited photo, though. Could have been. Yeah. All of them. All of them might. have been. We We don't know. We don't. We're not 100% sure. I did see him. They. look happy. Yeah, he did. Big smile. I. think it was a wave. I think that was. the first time he'd been back to Wrigley. since he played for the Cubs. I think I. even saw Mhm. Yep. Yep. Mhm. He didn't. go out as much. He wasn't seeing the. sun, so he wasn't getting tan. Okay. All.

right. We will go ahead and go into a. great weekend off of that. And that's. Chicago native uh ZTO there. Thank you, Z. Welcome back, Sammy. It was good to. see him back in Sammy. You know, a lot. of pros have a little bit of a tiffs. with the teams that they played with for. a long time, you know, because it has to. end at some point and the team still. exists. Sometimes players, you know, feel a. little bit mis uh treated at the end. Everything I [ __ ] done for you. So,

anytime those the hurdles get over and. it's like back, it's like, man, what a. good thing. You guys can look back on. being great for baseball in that. particular case. There's been many other. occasions where people reunite with the. team that they were at. Like, it's good. news. I love sports. What an awesome era for. baseball. That was so many steroids, right? That's just in my mind that's all. I think of. And watching Magguire dig. into the plate with his like veins. coming through his leg, his pants like. in his quads like he was so big.

Vascularity, creatine, fat, just and his. powerful stance. If I remember, Magguire. had like a [ __ ] knees bent a little. bit. He looked so big. So big in there. Yeah, those were fun times. And in my. head, I I don't know if it's fair or. not. I just say. it was the juice. It was They're all. juiced. They're all just whatever. But. it was just creatine, right? That's all. it was. No, Andro. No, I thought it was. creatine. I I still I always remember. Maguire doing a an interview after a. game once and he just has a massive. bottle of pills sitting in his locker.

just right behind him the whole time. Fish oils, you know, cuz your joints. Yeah. No one No one even scoffed at it, right AJ? It's fish oils. Those are. those are pills. You vitamins. Had to. be. Yeah. Sage. A lot of things can be. in there. I read Jose Cano wrote two. books, I believe. I know I read the. first. I don't know if I read a second, but he Yeah. He talked about that whole. era. Yeah. They said, "Jose Conco, you. sneeching because he's finished." Yeah, I remember. That was a great bar. Jose Conco boxed. at one point, right? Yeah, you did. Yeah. You think he can still bop one?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Forever. They should. have Barry, Ken, Mark. I saw Rafie Palro. putting balls out the other day on the. internet. So, here's another idea. Home. run derby uh contestants get to pick one. legend. Oh, yeah. to have two pitches in. the home run derby. Each one counts for. three home runs if the legend was to hit. a home run. That would be amazing. That's a great idea. That's what I'm. talking about. So like it has to be like. from their team. So like Aaron Judge. used like Babe Ruth. I don't know if.

Babe Ruth would be alive. [ __ ] Jason. Giani. So like for instance, who's the. Pirates guy? Good hitter. Cruz. Well, well, he's out now. Actually, their best. their best hitter is Cut. Okay, so Cut, let's say Cutch does the home run derby. He has Jason Kendall come in. Bingo. Obviously. Sure. Cool. Maybe they set up. like targets. So like if Jason Kendall. just wants to squirt one the other way. for a single like he's not he's, you. know, cuz that was kind of his game. He.

wasn't really a big bopper. Yeah, but. nah, if he wanted Yeah, you're right. Cut would probably bring in Bri Brian. Giles or Barry. Barry was a pirate. Yeah, of course. I think what about that. other guy who's on the time isn't he a. former pirate? What's that? Uh Rocker, is it rocker? No, but actually he uh he. played for the Braves for a long time. So, rumor has it he's going to be very. involved in all the festivities. I thought they're trying to reintegrate. him back into the league. I That's what. I thought, too. Yep. You know, that's. wild. What a time to be alive. It's.

better than 2182. Yeah, you're right. With [ __ ] Benu. on. Amen. That's all they're going to. talk about. I would like to tell the. people in 2180 and 2175 and [ __ ] Y 2K I. remember. Mhm. This was it. This was it. This was it. It's over. All these. computers were worried about tonight's. night. They can't handle three zeros. Yeah. These computers are so smart, so. powerful, they will glitch and [ __ ]. kill everything with three zeros in the.

year. We don't know what it's going to. do. We're going to party like it's 1999. because the world's ending in 2000. 2181. [ __ ] letter ride. There's nothing you. can do if Ben who's coming through. Okay. Just [ __ ] live. Speaking of. partying like 99. Do you hear it? Will. Smith. Yeah. Another banger. Oh yeah. Well, this this one got teased I think a. week ago and then they released the. entirety of it. Who's he in the booth? In the booth with the uh Jesus Christ. Is that not Dr. Dre? I don't think it's.

Full speed going. whatever he does. Yeah. Social media. I'm going to become the social media. guy. Actually, I'm going to get commit. fully to it. What he do? He skydived off. a [ __ ] helicopter.

And uh you got. to go to True TV, which has quite a. a depth of uh options. Have you seen.

True TV much? Very diverse programming. There it is. Very diverse. They have a a. diverse portfolio of stuff. They do. Saw. a guy yesterday had eyes shadow around. both eyes, really heavy. He was. shirtless, pudgy. Uh he had like jumper. cables, one attached to each nipple. Nipples a little bit elongated. So it. seems like he's been doing this one a. long time. And then he put a hot dog uh.

in between the two. And his nipples with. the the jumper cables cooked the hot. dog. That's right. That was on the That. was That was 95.

A lady taking a piss outside. a bar. Yeah. Yeah. Certainly was. Mhm.

And then they'll have Pacers Cavaliers. Like that's Corn Cob TV's goal right. there. Yeah, it is. Exactly. They're. actually show, funny enough, they're. showing King Richard, Will Smith's most. famous movie. You could argue. Great. movie. Yeah. He addressed the slapping of uh He did. Chris Rock. Yeah. You're going to. disrespect my name on stage. You can. expect to see him on stage. Me on stage. I'mma hit you in the face on stage,

[ __ ] I don't know if he said that kind. of. That was the extendo clip I saw. His. guy swore. He did. Oh, [ __ ] Will Smith doesn't have to. curse to sell records. Well, I do. So. [ __ ] him and [ __ ] you too, I believe is. what Eminem said. Bar that guy swore in. So does that count? Because Will Smith is still doing all. this without swearing it. Correct. Which. is that's a whole another element. Still.

doing what? Is it true that him music? Him and Emma releasing a track together. Stop it. He's the barsi of rap, bro. He is. Everyone feels bad for bars. That. feels bars. And he bars got me. What?

page on this entire thing. It's not even. a thing. People aren't talking about it. Here you guys are parading around on. stage making a mockery of it. The poor. guy. The poor guy has been through so. much [ __ ] in the past couple years and. you just keep dragging his name through. the mud. after he's back. Acting like he's doing. some great like he used to. girls. I like pretty girls. Sorry. He's got the song of the summer. And I like the fact that Relax Jason. Morazz. I like that he's back. You do.

kind of look like Jason. That's great right there. Good music. Shout out to Jason Morz. Super talent. and he looks very cool. He looks very, very cool. But Will Smith's all the way. back. I like that he's just seemingly. all the way back. He's not all the way. back. Yes, he is. He shut down London. Is he Has he started any movies this. summer? He could if he wanted to, but he. shut down London. You're right. Everyone. was so bored at that little concert. They were trying to listen to the. [ __ ] story that he was telling. Lyrics. I don't know the words yet. It's. brand new song. You saw some people.

Yeah. Damn. And then other people were. like, "The noise here, mate." Yeah. A. little bit too loud here. Can't hear the. words. You know, that's what they That's. why it was the way it was. I'm happy for. you, Will Smith. Love you, Will. Happy. for you, Will. Thank you for everything. Guy's got 16 upcoming projects. Mhm. Yeah. Yeah. I'm saying he's doing okay. and he looks happy.

Movie people are saying.

we're happy you didn't take those. movies. No, it's just like it's goes to. show like, oh, like this guy doesn't. know what the [ __ ] he's doing. He's. turned down like four of like the. greatest roles of all time because he. like didn't like the script or something. and he does Iroot instead when he could. have been, you know, in Django. Unchained, etc., etc. It's like, will. you don't got to tell everybody that you. made a massive mistake by No, he's he's. letting people know that every once in a. while you're going to miss. Will Smith. saying every once in a while you're. going to miss. I don't think that's what. he's saying. I think that's what he's.

saying. But maybe, you know, maybe that. is what he's thinking. Will Smith looks young by the way. Still. can move. He does. He's got that handheld camera. Yep. Mhm. Liking pretty girls can take a lot of. years off your life. Yes, it can. Yes, it can. All right, let's get the [ __ ] out of here. Let's. have a weekend, shall we? Hell yeah.

Banger. Banger. Yeah. Like I said, they used He used to. have these things. They were unlike. pretty girls. It's going to last. Okay. So, I don't know why we're acting. here.

You know. this thing this thing's probably been in. the Great Pyramids. I think you can take this thing all the. way back to BC. Really? Boston Connor? No. Before Christ. Okay. And it just. somehow made its way here on a shipping.

container. You know, did you see that? I'm not getting into it. I saw something. that made it appear as if boy, there had. been sophisticated civilization a long. time ago. Yeah, there's stuff out there. like that. A lot of stuff. Yeah, like. new stuff coming out that's like, how do. they explain that one away? I wonder. And then I immediately go, did Grock. make that? And we will tell you that. Grock did not make this, but we got Tone. as a safari hunter, uh, as a safari tour. guide. And uh Tone, this is how you. should uh potentially live your life.

I'm excited for this. You look awesome. I don't know if we saved it. Yeah, there's there's been a few things. Yes. Is that tone and tie mixed into one? I. don't know. It is interesting. Coyote. Peterson. Look at the tat though. The. redness of the fire on the left arm. there. It's accurate. Vibrant. And it's. got your. You're in like a safari vehicle with. your mic. Yeah. Little bit of Pierce. Brozin in there, too. a little bit. Yeah. Mob land. You do look like. Golden Eye. Leading man in a major.

Miss He's. resting in pieces. Yeah. I like that I I. have a microphone on my Jungle Safari uh. vehicle so I can speak to the animals if. need be. Oh, I did a safari down in. Disney World. They got a microphone. Oh, yeah. Me and Sam, if you look to your. left. Yeah. Bingo. H. Deep in the back. underneath the trees there, you might. see an elk that has never been seen.

before. We got a family of them. They. like to lay low, but they are spunky. Me and Samantha were the only ones on. the cart. Oh, so you had to give them a. pop every time. I also said, "Hey, next. time I think you should deliver this one. before this one." Like you kind of gave. away what was coming. I think you should. let us kind of experience that a little. bit. I do appreciate that. This is my. third week here. Like inner voice on the. microphone. I'm like, "How long have you. worked on that?" Like it was clearly a a.

routine while driving through a [ __ ]. with these wheels. It was uh it was an. impressive I I was very impressed. Headset right here. Got the full kit on. like a duck boat. Have to have stats and. facts and jokes about each uh each. individual animal. She did. She. delivered. Thought she gave away. something should not have given away. Mhm. Hey, we don't bet. That's your. slave. That you need to save that one. Yeah, you need to save that. You need to. let us experience. Look at that. You. know, that is uh that's what we came.

for. You know, that is she was awesome. I forget her name. I should have known. her name. Disney World made it feel like. I was out there in that. Oh, yeah. Have. you done Disney World? Yes. Not for a. long time. As an adult? Uh, not as an. adult? No. Done Disneyland as an adult. McKenzie's kind of moving out of the. Disney world right now. I'm a little. worried. We used to watch Mickey Mouse. Clubhouse in the morning. Oh yeah. She's. not really interested in I think that's. like a she'll be back when she's like.

seven, eight. The clubhouse we're coming. back to or just like Disney in general. I think like Toy Story first time. yesterday morning the best big pops. She. was really pumped up about that. But I. was worried because I was like we had a. great vacation to Disney World. Now. she's not even interested in Disney. World. Yeah. Like that was going to be. Hey, that was going to be back pocket. Mhm. Who's a hero? They got something. for every age. Disney. Yeah, cuz you'll. get into the toy store. You'll get into. the movie age now. That be movie. 250 times. Mhm. Probably in the last.

Jerry Seinfeld. Yeah, that's how mine. was story. It's good. Good movie. Despicable Me and Despicable Me. The. Pollen jocks are really [ __ ]. They're living like kings out there. Yeah, they get the experience outside. the hive. They're the pollen jocks. They're the ones grabbing the pollen, getting all the and they're they're. coming back. Makes sense. Jerry kind of. puts himself in an interesting situation. to join the pollen jocks. Even though. he's not supposed to be a pollen jock, he goes out there, he's got a he's got a.

battle of rain. He gets kind of lost on. a tennis ball. I mean, it's a [ __ ]. classic. It is a you know, Jerry. Seinfeld is a expert on the details, you. know, like the very relatable small. things. This is a good movie. Hey, I. would like to thank Jerry and the. DreamWorks people for uh me and. Mackenzie's life for like the last uh. three, four weeks or whatever. DreamWorks does Have you done Despicable. Me yet? Oh, yeah. We're through group uh. grew, I believe. Yeah. Yeah. And Forel. has the the whole soundtrack to every. movie. Banger. Mhm. That thing starts.

with the car going up the mountain. The. happy was from the first one or second. one. Yeah, the car up the mountains. Despicable Me 4. Yeah, the last one. Yeah. Banger. That's a good way. I I. think if you were to get into the kid. entertainment world, because there's a. lot of lazy made things that have a lot. of use. I'm watching this [ __ ] with. McKenzie and I'm watching I'm like this. is so lazy. Like this is I understand. what you're trying to do here, but we're. [ __ ] mailing it in here. I mean, this.

is And then I look at the views and two. billion views. They got to figure it. out. Maybe maybe I maybe that is not the. accurate. Show them uh um Prince. Makamura. remember his character? Oh, Captain A. Yeah. Is that what it was? Yeah. Like it is that taken off? I think. so. It has not popped up in my algo. Can. we look up Captain A? And what year is. he I do appreciate how much he committed. to that? He did. He is in. I loved it. We figured it out cuz we knew Prince. We. We got a chance to know Prince of. Makamura pre becoming a child superhero.

And he was a charact. hilarious if I do recall. like very very. funny. Worst golfer in Atlanta and he. knew it. But he talked [ __ ] I believe if. I recall. I mean he was he was awesome. So then whenever he shows up at Super. Bowl radio in a costume I don't know if. he was mocking something or if he was. act he's fully committed to that. I. think that's good business. We thought. we thought I thought at first it was. like a marketing deal, you know, that he.

he was dressed up in a marketing day and. we saw him go back and forth a few times. and then he comes up and tells a story. of this whole character he's c like he. has a whole universe that for kids. By. the way, how about us all kayfabe real. quick as soon as he started talking as. soon as we realized that it was no. longer him. He's not this guy's noting. around. This not a gimmick of some sort. This is real deal. It's like all right, we're all in. We're all in. There he is. at Super Bowl radio. What's it? Mr. A, not Captain A. Mr. A. I will check in on. Mr. A with Mackenzie. See if she's a. fan. I'll tell you what, she will let me. know though. She will let me know. We're. playing something. She'll just go,

"Nope." And I'm like, "Uh, we don't want. this on." No, no, next. No, no. And then. I I exit, you know, and then she'll. point at the screen this. And then I'll. click on it and then we start playing it. and she goes, "You hear her sigh?" Huh? No. Like she had such she had high hopes. for what we were going to watch. And. like last night I think we went through. maybe 45 options on YouTube and there. was like six different.

no like it was like watching her become. a human is like really cool. Like it is. cool. I And when you realize we're. talking about this off air when you. realize that she's listening and knows a. lot more than what she is saying. It's. like a cool thing. Like I asked her like. where binky was or pacifier. I asked Sam. where the binky was and like she like. held it up like in my face basically and. I was like, "Oh, you know that I'm. asking a question uh what it is." Like. she knows a lot of things and it's like. yes. She says back and it's like well.

that's an interesting little situation. now. What all do you know? You know like. uh how you know like you have what four. kids for real actually. Yeah. That's an. insane thing that they just they're. listening. They they know everything. They're listening. They pay attention. And that's why it's like, especially as. they get older, like they don't care. They they don't care what you have to. say. Like they're modeling their. behavior on how you're interacting in. the world. Like that's all you can do. I. showed her my tattoo this morning. Yeah. And she immediately lifted up her shirt.

I was like, "No, no, no, no, no, this ain't." And she was like, "Big. smile, you know, and then put it down. like you don't I'm showing you your. tattoo on my body." And she like, you. know, start now she's starting to work a. little bit too, which I respect. Mhm. let me like look away for a second and. I'm like, "Yo, we're not doing that.". Like that is not a That is not a thing. She started to get a little sly. I like. I like all I love. I didn't want kids. I. don't know how I would have experienced. life without her. Legit like.

legitimately. I have no idea. Right. It. is Isn't it weird after you have them? After you have Yeah. I didn't I didn't. think about kids like until we had them. and then it's like Yeah. I don't What. was life before them? That's how it is. Yeah. cuz like everything is soon as I. get home, we're with her. She goes to. bed, figuring out what the morning looks. like. You know, it's like it's just a. whole different You can see how people. get kind of captivated and taken away. How do the people have like 10 kids? I. don't know how they're doing it. Yeah. That John and Kate plus eight. Well, they take care of each other after a.

while. The kids, that's what they say. Yeah. Like the middle kid starts doing. the lunches. Well, like them like they. didn't plan on having eight kids, right? It's like they just like you get. pregnant once and it's like I think they. did some boosting. Okay. They kind of. gamed it a little bit. I think they were. hoping for like a triplets maybe or like. twins or something like that and instead. eight came. I don't remember. I know. that didn't end good. I don't No, it. did. Yeah, I remember that. They got. shows you can listen to that give you. advice and stuff on parenting. Yeah.

Yeah. I know there's a lot of books and. stuff too. Books. I don't read books a lot though. Yeah, that's why Conor sounds like he has the. specific show in mind. No, I don't. I. don't have any kids. I'm I'm not really. privy to any of this stuff. I'm just. saying like that's how some people get. through it. I When you get to the point. of life of like kid time, I'm pumped to. see you be uh Yeah, we'll see. It's a. cool It's a cool thing. You'd be great. Comment will be great. Dad, I'm going to. be abusive. I know that. What? Just. physical. Okay. That is not that is not Yeah,

right. Not not verbal. I as soon as you. see this child, it's like it's. unbelievable. It is really impossible. Yeah. Well, if I'm, you know, if I'm. about to make the great journey in Halo. 3 and I got some little [ __ ] Yeah, now is not the time. Thanks. All right, let's have a great weekend. Uh, everybody enjoy it. Let's watch some. golf. Let's watch some X Games. Let's. watch Night of Champions happening for. WWE. Let's watch some baseball.

Let's do some. hockey tonight. NHL draft. Team USA's on. Sunday for soccer. Rocket Classic. Boom. I think we started Mhm. I did forget the name of it though. Yeah, cuz it's a par three course. I. didn't know Detroit was doing a It's. been throwing me off every time you ask. me because it used to be the Rocket. Mortgage Classic, but they changed the. name a couple years ago to just the. Rocket Classic. It used to be an Akran, too, didn't it? No, it's always been No. Remember we had Ricky on from He would.

say Rocket wasn't inac. Yeah, I was. about to say he would only say that if. he knew that, right? And that's. something it's new to Detroit. It's only. been a couple years. So AJ's might be. right. Yeah. So you guys just. automatically shooting down AJ and. something that happens in Ohio. I think. was a miscalculation. Well, I knew we. had Ricky on from Detroit two years ago. Yeah, but I'm just saying I think that. was a mis fiber. I just kind of wanted. to be a [ __ ] to him. Yeah, I. understand. Hey, sometimes you got to do. that. Yeah, exactly. Especially on a. feelg great Friday, right? Yeah. All. right. If this ball goes in, Keegan. Bradley's making the cut. Boom. Nice.

We have an. interesting schedule coming up because. Wimbledon and everything that's. happening and also football is about to. Hey, uh 69. It's right there. Yeah. So, we. got an interesting schedule coming up, but hey, we'll be here saying dumb stuff. for you. And then when we're not, just.

know that we are still saying dumb. stuff. We apologize. You can't hear it. Mhm. And then whenever we're here, guess. what's back? Dumb stuff. And then whenever football. season starts, just wait. So much dumb. stuff. So much. Don't you think, AJ, this year maybe the most amount of dumb. stuff? I plan on it. Yes. Me, too. Shout. out to the NFL posting a video of me. today. very nicely.

A lot of people. say Trinidon Holiday. Absolute beast. So. fast. They try to find you now. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, they definitely would try to. Yeah, for sure. Head down to that would. be an awesome find, too, to get, you. know. Absolutely. Hunter Pat McAfee gets.

uh fined for helmet to helmet. That's a. good one. That's you. You go ahead and. put that one up on the on the mantle. I can't believe they did that. So, who. edited that? Them. Yeah, probably. Thank you, NFL. Very. kind of you NFL social media people. That's very cool. Very, very nice of. them. You know, we talk a lot of [ __ ] on. a lot of social media people. So, I. think a lot of these social media people. hear that and then those bums are get. out of jobs because they are exactly. what we say, [ __ ] And then somebody. else gets in there and then we move. forward. Yeah. Did they match it up with. the show starting too? They did. I think.

that's very kind of them. Like really. cool. Thank you, NFL. That's very, very. cool of the NFL to do that. It's how. many days away? Six and nine. Three months. Uh Gumpy has an update on. the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Maybe AJ. not accurate. It's actually never been. held in Akran, Ohio. There was a tournament in Akran. Vindication. Ty Schmidt only being a [ __ ] I knew. it was wrong. Still tone diggs basking.

in glory of the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Pipe. What's it called? Pipe Stone or. whatever. There's one in in Akran for a. while. I think it switched to Detroit. How about I had blind faith in you just. cuz it was something of Ohio. I [ __ ] learned my lesson on this. Friday. I'm only in like, you know, I'm. Ohio like Columbus and down is kind of. my region of Ohio that I'm familiar. with. No, you were the president of. Ohio. It moved. It used to be the. Bridgestone Invitational moved to. Memphis. There we go. Yeah, I was right. Bridgestone moved out of Ohio to. Memphis. How about everything that's.

being said? I wonder what happened. Wow. That's good. Yeah, Memphis and Akan are. two very cities. Yeah. Yeah, we've been. to Memphis. Beautiful. Numerous times. Akan's not. Have I been? I don't think. we've been to Akan. Have we? I've been. to Akran. I've been there. What's wrong? Very close. Akan to Canton. area. You've been around there. It's. terrible. I think Canton area. We're. going to be there. I think we're going to be in that world. over there. Okay. Yeah. I think there's. there's conversations happening right. now.

about us potentially doing program from. Hall of Fame. Oh, cool. That would be. that would be very cool, wouldn't I? I. mean, that's that seems like a an. opportunity that we should definitely. think about having one. We probably have. one here for sure. If they are welcoming. us into that and saying, "Hey, do you. want to do a show at the Hall of Fame?". It's like we should definitely Yeah, we. can have one. Consider having one out. there. Maybe go to the game, then do the. show. Yeah, maybe have one. Go have one.

Go to the game. Have one. Do the show. Have one. SummerSlam, I believe, is the. next day. Wow. Oh, I believe. Is that in Metife? Yeah. The. Shadows of New York City. Everything's. in Metife. Yeah. What do you You sound bummed out. about you talking about the super duper. duper couple. I don't know if both Sammy. and the final need to be at Metife. You. know, maybe one could be in Miami or.

Atlanta or, you know, I don't think. you'd need both Sammies and the final at. Metife. What's the most famous song. about Miami? H. We know. We know. Morgan Wallen's got. one right now. Banger. It is a banger. Is it Will Smith? It's. got to be probably. Yes. Welcome to. Miami. You know, I noticed you haven't. liked a single Instagram post of Will. Smith in a long time. He doesn't show up. in my algorithm as much. I don't like. it. I want to let you know that. I I see.

a lot of uh a lot of clips on the. explore page of like Will Smith fan. clubs. Oh, okay. Yeah. And I those Yeah. people that are ripping Will Smith's. clips and putting them up on their own. account. Yes. Trying to steal numbers. from our fresh prints. Don't I'll go. I'll go back and like every [ __ ] one. of them. How about that? How many have I. missed out? How many have I missed out? That is something I I will uh I I will. get lazy with the heart button. That's. on me. I'll see it, but I won't like it. That's on me. I'll run into somebody.

Well, if you saw it. Exactly. Your. algorithm would. But if you'reized. Yep. Well, it's fan clubs, you know. It's fan club. So, it's always fan and I. like the fan club. So, maybe it just. keeps those going in there. But you run. into people and I think there is a. little bit of tension right or something. like you didn't like my last Instagram.
