>> Your friend, tell a friend something. nice could change their life. sport. >> Hello, beautiful people and welcome to. our humble abode. The Thunderdome on. this feelgood Friday, May 8th, 2026. This sports program begins now. >> Sports. >> are the greatest. We're so incredibly. lucky that we get a chance to chat about. them every single day. We hope you have. had a fantastic week and I hope you're. ready for the greatest weekend of your.

life. Why? Because it's the next one. Let's go ahead and enjoy the hell out of. it. Sports are going to deliver for us. all weekend just like they have all. week. We'll have a couple recaps of the. things that we like this week and the. things that we thought were hilarious. this week. We'll also chitchat about. things that happened last night in. sports world. Just know this. >> These Kiacs, okay, on a little bit of a. run right now in the NHL. Feels like. there might be a Carolina. Colorado collision coming for the cup in. just a matter of weeks. Hurricanes beat. the Flyers 4 to one. They have now won.

seven straight to start this particular. playoffs. It's a special story in a. special town with a special fan base. that's excited to maybe lose their mind. at a Stanley Cup dream. Now, how would. it all bode? We shall see. The Buffalo. Sabres obviously have some things to say. about that. Same with the Canadians. And. in the West, it feels like the Avalanche. are for real. But if you look at this. Hurricanes team, you think to yourself, well, they certainly got the talent. They certainly got the run. Do they have. the gritness? Do they have the. toughness? Do they have the uh the.

togetherness? Well, let's just go to the. end of the game, shall we? Let's go. ahead and just see 4-1 here. Time's. running out. It's hockey, though. Okay, up there uh up on the boards there about. the middle of the screen there. Maybe a. little bit to the right. That's stink of. it. He's 5 foot8 guy. He's by his third. year playing for the Hurricanes. He led. the Carolina Hurricanes in points in the. first round of the playoffs. Number 55, uh Big Rosmus wrist the line and 6'4 205. go and shoots him. Then Celer GETS IN. NO, WE'RE FIGHTING ACTUALLY. SO, ST. Kevin was just standing there. Then 6'5. guy comes over. Boom. Hits him. Then.

seller guy grabs him. No, you're. actually we're fighting. Yeah. You think. you're going to win 4-1 and nothing's. going to happen. Now let's look to the. left here. Okay. Let's look to the left. Over here you have Shane Gost. >> Spear. >> Goster who played for the Flyers for a. long time. Okay. Now he's tangling it up. with Big 55. Okay. Big 55 cuz he just. got into it. He had to grab somebody. Seller picked up his fight. They start. fighting on the left side. This guy say, "Hey, we're done. We're good. Everybody's good." Seller's trying to. get SOME SHOTS BACK. STANK OVEN'S LIKE, "YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU COULD JUST BUY ME. LIKE THIS." AND THEN WE GOT A JAKE SNAKE.

DINO. BOOM. At the VERY END, EAT SOME ICE. OKAY. SO, I'm just talking about, okay, old buddy Josh the Spear came in, stuck. up for his teammate. >> Yeah. >> Stankovven 5 foot8. Okay. Getting bodied. there by 6'4 guy and then passed off to. seller who jumps in and forces him to. fight. You saw at the very end of that. Stankovven throwing lefts at the end. We. got Jake the Snake Roberts DDTs happen. It feels like the Canes. >> Uh-huh. >> Yeah. >> Flyers are big, strong, tough, bully.

team. >> Physical team. The Hurricanes. I think. they're talented and obviously these. boys are ready to brawl. I think that's. what I saw after the uh as the game was. ending. And anytime you get a chance to. see one of these in real life, you know. that boom could be dead. >> Uhhuh. >> So, we have no idea what the state of. Ross Musen is after his head obviously. bounced off the ice there. But, I like. the Hurricanes a lot. I like the NHL. And then in the NBA, Stones continue to. do what the Stones are doing. >> The Stones. >> The Stones. The Pistons. And And we.

learned that it's mostly the Hut up. there in Michigan saying that makes a. lot of sense from areas that aren't. necessarily Detroit on the internet, but. the Stones and the Detroit Pistons win. again. Story of that one. James Harden's. not good at basketball in the playoffs. >> What's the deal? We'll ask Kendrick. Perkins here in a matter of moments. I'm. sure he's going to have a lot of. thoughts on that. And then last night, also big story. LeBron and the Lakers. are getting screwed by the refs. >> What? >> It's rigged. It's rigged against the Los. Angeles Lakers.

>> Huh? >> And LeBron James for Oklahoma City. >> Big City OKC. >> Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James. It's rigged against them for the. Oklahoma City Thunder. Now, if this was. to be rigged in that fashion, >> I'd like to say to Adam Silver, >> congratulations on like rigging. something for a small That's good for. sports. >> First time ever. >> That's good for sports. and the Oklahoma. City people deserve it. We've seen them. show up in a massive way. Obviously, there's like a 30 for30 about how great. they are as a fan base and the Pacers. fans and the Oklahoma City fans got a.

chance to really experience a a great. run there in the finals last year. But. if they were rigging this for the. Oklahoma City Thunder, that would be. awesome. Just like that. That never. happened seemingly to the small towns. and the small fan bases and everything. like that. But it certainly does look. like this Oklahoma City team every time. they play there's a question on what's. going on with the refs. Yeah. And it's. not just fans saying this. It now it's. actual coaches and players coming out. being like, "Hey, this is what it is.". They're cutting back clips of people and. they're having lip readers say, "This.

[ __ ] is rigged." Whenever they're. playing against the Oklahoma City team, are they better at getting fouls than. everybody else? Are they better at. embellishing it? Or do the refs like the. small town story just naturally and all. of a sudden they're starting to give it. up for these guys? We'll ask Perkins. about it all. It is a hot conversation. in the streets. Speaking of hot. conversation in the streets, congratulations Skip Bless, Stephen A. >> Wow. Now. >> take a trip down memory lane. Talk to. the tables here at Boston Connor and one. half of the hammer cowboys AP tone. We. wash that. We turn it on. It was. appointment television. Shout out to.

both of them kind of going in there. It. was a nice tell of the tape there. Like. the last 16 years a lot of people have. been trying to kind of emulate. >> either Stephen A or Skip Bis or both of. them at the same time. A lot of shows, a. lot of uh sports media personalities and. obviously whenever two master debaters. master debate against each other right. in each other's faces. Yeah. you know, you can get some really magical moments. in there. They certainly created a lot. of those uh throughout the times. There's a lot of people chasing those. I. think there have become great debaters. in sports television that aren't named. Stephen A and Skip. But I think those. two were so good at what they did back.

in the day in 2012, 14 years ago, that. everybody else thought that was the only. way to do sports television. So, getting. them back in the same room earlier, that. was a good time. >> A great time. >> Skip Bis some heat. Los Angeles Fakers. >> GOT HIM. YEAH. And they'll smoke you. with pot. >> Yeah. points off turnovers. >> I believe he also said playoff P, but he. spelled it P E E. >> It was good to s e e those two on my TV. I will say.

>> it was good to see that cuz I forgot and. I was taking notes the entire time. So. be prepared for a good show. >> Yeah, be prepared for a good show. It. was fun, man. Good for them. Hey, congratulations to you two old legends, man. >> Good run. >> You guys did it. changed the entire. course of sports media, television and. in doing so obviously uh. >> I think both. >> lived great lives I I I think from my. understanding and also influence sports. so good for them I hope they had a great. time and I hope the catching up was fun. too you know anytime you don't really. talk to somebody and maybe there's.

potential fallout or anything animosity. nice for them to catch up in fun good. for sport joining us now live from inkin. Ohio is a man who's a college football. national champion Super Bowl champion. I'm surprised got him this early. >> Yeah. >> I thought he'd be scrolling those files. that were just released already. >> Ladies and gentlemen, AJ HAWK. >> scanning those alien files. >> Yeah. I mean, has has anything new come. out? Have you checked them out and like. in depth? I haven't seen anything new. >> So, what I found my cuz I've been. eagerly awaiting this day for a long.

time. I think anybody that knows me. knows that this is probably the one. thing I've been thinking about, you. know, from the beginning and openly. talking about just wondering as somebody. that did a lot of moon watching, you. know, as somebody that didn't fall. asleep much and was just looking up. Just always wondered and obviously. certainly had an open mind and then you. hear some people talking it's like, okay, let's go. Let's go ahead and uh do. this. And then to think we're we're. alone in this whole thing would be. crazy. That'd be crazy just with with. how big it is. But if we weren't alone, that would obviously have to change a. lot of opinions and thoughts and. religions potentially and like uh.

>> you know everything in the world. So. such a hot such an awesome topic I think. just to kind of visualize from all. different angles and then you run into. somebody and they're like I saw a UFO. I. saw Chase I saw a thing. It's like why. would you lie to me? I don't know why. you would lie to me. Feels like you have. a pretty important title. You're not a. complete whack job. Uh and then you know. the internet kind of does what the. internet does and now you don't know. what's fake and what isn't real. And. then they put out this entire uh UAP. unid unidentified aerial phenomena uh uh. files out. It's like, okay, what's real.

in that? What now? >> Mhm. Yep. >> WHO'S GOING TO GO JOE ROGAN'S GOING. through who's going through this to tell. me what is real? >> What's inside those craft? What's inside. the craft that we see on the video? What's that's what I want to see? Like. show me what's inside. >> Yeah. What What if What if we get a look. inside and actually just like it's been. right in front of our faces. There's 45. WebMes just in a bunch of these things. Yeah. Just kind of waiting to come down. and and just do whatever. What if he is. an actual His symbol is an alien. We've. been watching him. He has to be. >> guys hanging with Monks and Kevin.

Garnett. >> Look at the same he his logo is an alien. head. What if in these files inside one. of these things that they're showing us. floating around in the United Arab. Emirates over there by the nuclear. facilities, all that type of stuff. What. if inside it's just a bunch of little. baby little Webbies and they're just. training their hands, training their. feet, doing all that and then boom, they. grow. What if the other one is just a. bunch of little Elon Musks? Yeah, we're. never going to know. >> It's poss Well, >> we're never going to know unless who. tells us. >> I have a good idea. >> Who's the guy from Blink182? >> Yep. >> Tom Dong.

>> Tom. We need Tom Dong to get in there. and tell us if Big is a part of these. files. Please, sir. >> If I were. >> Lazar, too, we need his ass in there. If. I were President Trump on uh June or. July, whenever it is, I would trot two. of these things out for the UFC and. co-main event. >> at the White House. >> Yes, >> maybe they've already been trained. >> That would break everything. >> Yeah, maybe that's what this is all a. lead up to. Somebody has to go through. those files. But also, somebody needs to. talk about sports and how the aliens. will affect sport and we will always be. the ones to do that, right AJ? Haven't.

we been pretty clear about this? >> Yeah, from the jump we have always said. we will be that show. And if I will say. if these aliens start to think they're. tough, remember ain't none of them could. beat any of us in an Oklahoma drill. >> No way. Mm-. >> So if we need to alpha these things, >> look at their baby little necks. Come on. now. >> Snapping them. Could you imagine with. your cobra. >> 7 in around? Oh yeah. Head and hands all. day long on those guys. >> Boom. And and I think about just like. especially you with the way you were.

built. Like think about the leverage. we'll have on these things. Whether. they're little tiny things or if they. grow into their full size AND THEY DON'T. [ __ ] GET GRAVITY. THEY'RE COMING FROM. A PLACE that doesn't have. >> wrong arm. >> Yeah, right. >> They can't set AN EDGE. >> NO WAY. >> GOOD LUCK. >> AND I I HAD AN affliction shirt. I could. arm bar one of these things if I had to. at one point. >> Choke cold. >> Right. Age. >> Yeah. I mean, I cannot wait to see the. first time that we have an encounter. with a true alien and someone like Brock. Lesnar chokes him out. >> Yes. That's what I'm saying. That's we.

have representatives I think that we can. send out there that that will protect. us. Now, if something in these files. tells us we need to be worrying a little. bit, I would like to know. Somebody. needs to go through these things. Okay. Somebody needs to let me know what I. need to know. Now, that's part of the. problem. >> Yeah. Exactly. >> That's part because now who's. gatekeeping information that's guarded. and how it is forward. >> There's a lot of issues here. >> All right. I'm reading them this. weekend. >> Here we go. Okay. Joining us now, ladies. and gentlemen, is a man who uh I mean, hell, he probably knows more than we do. about this entire thing because it feels. like his.

>> league that he played in for. 15 years. filled with aliens. >> Mhm. Yeah. >> All over the place. >> Yeah. Who knows? Straight out of high. school. This guy, >> big big boy. >> NBA champ. This guy. >> ESPN basketball pundit all day, every. day during the NBA. Ladies and. gentlemen, Big Perk. How you doing, Perk? >> Yo, what up? What up? What up? >> Anything about the UFO files? You think. any uh what if WBY actually did pop out. of one of those things and they got a. file out of that thing? We We don't.

know. >> I I'm trying to I'm trying to I was just. listening. I got to catch up on all. this. You know what I mean? I'm tunnel. vision right now. Nothing in the outside. world matters to me. Football. Baseball. >> I love that. That's actually outside. world. Yeah, actually. Yeah, I respect. that kind of deal. Unless they're in our. oceans inside of us, which is also a. part of the conversation which you could. uh you'll dive into if you were to catch. up. It's going to take a while. I think. you should wait till after the playoffs. Let's talk about the playoffs. Oklahoma. City team cheats.

>> Oklahoma City team just cheats all the. time. The refs the refs are rigging. these games for them to win to get more. fouls. And last night it did feel as if. it was a showcase of being pissed off. about the refs uh from the Lakers. Now. JJ Reic, former player, former fiery. player. I think him being a head coach. certainly doesn't help the fact that, you know, he probably operates a little. bit differently with the refs than maybe. some other head coaches would come up. through the coaching ranks in a. different fashion. I think he's a little. bit more comfortable with knowing who. they are. But it was certainly a display.

of, hey, you guys are ass. And then. Austin Reeves afterwards, they circle. these refs. Don't let them leave. And. say, hey, we got more to say to you. actually before you get out of here. This felt big. >> This felt like a really big deal to me. Uh, Perk, how did you view it all? And. why is this always the conversation. around these Oklahoma City Thunder. teams? >> Well, well, number one, let me say this. I love when JJ throws those temper. tantrums on the sideline. Those are the. uh classic moments. If we could bring up. a top 10 of JJ Rants and his temper.

tantrum moments, that would be great. Okay, that's number one. Number two, we have a problem. We have a serious. problem right now. And that game last. night highlighted it. Uh, you know, I. believe that Adam I, you know, I love. Adam Silva. I think he's the best. commissioner in sports. I love that, you. know, he's a man of the people. And with. that being said, he's going to have to. listen to the people. They have a lot of. upset fans that are on the internet that.

were watching the game that didn't like. the way that that game was called last. night. And I'm gonna be honest with you, I didn't like it either. Matter of fact, I hated it. Every single moment of it. It was nothing but complaining. It was a. lot of flopping going on. It was a lot. of no calls. And here's the thing, right? When you get players, and this. has been a trend throughout the. postseason, calling out officiating, you. have to address it. And it's not just.

addressing the players with fines. That's one thing. But the officials got. to have some level of accountability. And also, you don't want to get to the. point where fans are sitting up here. talking about the game is rigged because. we do have to take in mind that what's. one of the biggest, you know, >> things that make the biggest money. makers out there. >> Yeah. >> Betting. Sports betting. So, we don't. want to start messing and and and having. fans thinking that it's something going. on with the integrity of the game. So,

you got to clean up this flopping. nonsense. You have to clean it up. Last. night, I thought it was extremely bad. I. thought OKC all across the board, this. was one of their worst moments in my. opinion. You know how I feel about OKC. You know how I feel about Shay. But damn. it, I got to call it like I see it. It's. facts over feelings. >> Carry on, Kendrick Perkins. Carry on. How long do you think it takes to change. that type of basketball? If it means. anything, cuz I remember there was a. time not too long ago where the flopping.

was outrageous. I I think like I think. it got really really bad. And I always. point back to like watching James. Harden. That's like kind of my first. thoughts of it because of how good he. was at it all. And then it kind of. exploded. It felt like then we played in. like an international tournament and we. got our asses kicked. I I it was a FEA. thing I think where they weren't calling. stuff and we just like got our ass. kicked then it felt like the game. changed a little bit back to more. physical style with the less theatrics. Is that an accurate depiction over the. last few years? And how do you stop it? How legitimately how how long does it. take to kind of stop? Well, you you got.

to get back to enforcing the rule of. finding guys for flopping because let's. be real. Let's call it let's call it how. it is. Marcus Smart, LeBron James, SGA, Luke Dort at some moments. Even Chad. last night, all of those guys then had. moments of flopping. >> And so to me, >> when you talk about how do you fix it, the only way to fix it is for the NBA to. do more work. meaning that, hey man, we.

got to get back to finding guys and put. something in place for for flopping. We. used to have that. They kind of went. away from that a lot over the what last. three, four years. But when you get back. to that moment of you're going to find. guys for flopping, then you clean up the. game. I'm a old school type guy. I want. to see physicality. >> Yeah. >> You know what I mean? I I I want to see. guys get it get it in the mud, get it in. the trenches. Earn, not give it, right? And so again, again, the only way to.

clean it up is that the league is going. to have to do more work, meaning that. they're going to have to take a deeper. dive into this, put the fines back in. place for flopping, and I think it will. work. >> Go ahead, AJ. >> Yeah, Perk, we heard JJ after the game. talk about LeBron being, you know, so. big and physical. He may be penalized at. times because he is so big. And he did. mention some younger guy or smaller. guys, I should say, have theatrics at. times on the court. Do you think LeBron. is that a situation like is that real. because he is so big and dominant he may.

not get the fouls that he should? >> Well, no. You know what you know what. LeBron is experiencing? He's. experiencing. you know the the the the old the old. guy, right? And when I say the old guy, I played with a lot of Hall of Famers. I. played with, you know, Paul Pierce, Ray. Allen, KG, and I started to see the same. trend with them when they was on their. way out the league. Like as you tend to. get older, you know, in those, you know, 16 to 20 years played in the NBA, you.

don't start to get those, you don't get. those calls you used to get when you was. in your prime. That's just part of it. KG used to be mad. Paul Pierce used to. be mad. And they used to say, "Oh, these. young guys getting it." We see it. We. see it. Yeah. And if you go and look at. the history of the game, as guys got. older, they wasn't getting those quote. unquote superstar calls that they used. to get when they was in their uh, you. know, late 20s, early 30s. That's just. part of it. It's part of the process.

>> So, it's part of the league saying, "Hey, it's not your league no more, kid.". >> Okay. Yeah. Watch what it's like to be. the sixth guy. >> Yeah. And you're out of here. That's. what this is like all of a sudden. LeBron, we appreciate your service to. the league, though. >> Keep going. >> Absolutely. And on that note, you ain't. getting [ __ ] You're currently uh nobody. else on the team is when Luca gets back, Luca will get calls, okay? So, uh you. just need that hamstring or whatever to. heal as quickly as possible. Okay, let's. stay in the old man conversation, shall.

we? Uh James Harden. >> Okay, everybody says what they're say. >> I love James. >> Go ahead, Pat. >> I love James Harden. I love. >> Me, too. >> Okay. I don't know him personally. I. only know him from outside looking in. from his life. Every moment that he has. basically that he's documented and gone. viral. I have seen and appreciated. everything from being in a sprinter van. with the Christmas gifts or the gifts. whenever they said he was 400 lb to. everything with uh you know him in.

France at the the fashion show uh. >> his lady getting the bouquet of flowers. at the wedding. >> Yeah. Yeah. Everything about him. Okay. They're throwing a lot of numbers at me. saying he's ass in the playoffs. Like. people are throwing a lot of numbers at. me right now. So super stats people are. telling me that this guy sucks in the. playoffs and I don't like it because I'd. like to see James Harden go crazy. What's that? >> Well, and just just to clarify on that. stat, okay, Bob Koozie was basically the. only one shooting the ball for the. Celtics. All right, so let's not.

ricochet towards him. Okay. >> Okay. And before we get to James Harden, I guess we should talk about how. sometimes there are some ricochet shots. that do get taken whenever stats are. getting dropped. >> Yeah. >> Perk, has it how's the week been? Have. you been okay? your name's getting. thrown uh in some stat conversations. You don't even have a microphone in. front of you at the time. >> That's what I'm saying. I'm catching. strays and I'm like, "Okay, cool. Whatever, man." You know what I mean? I'm glad. Hey, you know what? I'm glad. I'm on their mind. I'm living rentree. That's all I could say. >> Well, certainly in the history books and.

it should be that way uh forever with. you. Uh but let's get back to James. Harden. They're throwing a lot of. numbers at me telling me he's ass in the. playoffs. Why is that? Is it because. like defenses are preparing for him? maybe the it it like why do you think he. does see the downfall a little bit in. the playoff time as opposed to regular. season and Stones is this team the. Pistons are they stoppable at this point. with figuring out how to play basically. again? So, let me say this. You have guys that. are built for 82 games and you have guys.

that are built for 16 games for the. postseason. And the postseason is going. to expose those guys who heart pumps. Kool-Aid and who hearts pump blood. And. right now with James Harden, his heart. is pumping Kool-Aid. And look, it's not. it's not really a knock on him. I think. James Harden is past his prime. The. person that I'm pissed off at the most. is Kenny Atinson. Because my thing is at. this point, why are you not putting the.

team first? And when I say putting the. team first, if James Harden has been. horrible over I think what the last four. or five games straight, he's been. horrible with his turnovers and. everything defensively, all that. At. some point, you have to make a business. decision and do what's best for the. team. At some point you have to take him. out of the starting lineup and put in. one of those dogs that you have on the. bench. Whether that's Dennis Shruda, Tyson, Ellis, Max Strus, like you can't.

you can't continue to do a disservice to. the ball club because you're saying and. this is his quotes after the game. I. take full blame for it because I didn't. get my future Hall of Famer, my Hall of. Famer enough shots, meaning James Harden. in the fourth quarter. And I'm sitting. up here saying to myself, Kenny, you and. I must be watching two different games. because it wasn't about James Harden. being able to get shots in the fourth. quarter. It's about him being a.

defensive liability. It's about him. turning the ball over. And these are. careless third, fourth grade turnovers. This is not like it's forced turnovers. These are careless turnovers. Turnovers. that that you look you say, "Well, what. the hell was that?" So again, you're. down 02. You know that physicality. matters. You see that the others outside. of Kate Cuttingham, Tobias Harris, he. has been having it his damn way since.

this series started. Jenkins is coming. alive. Duncan Robinson is flat out. balling. And not just a shooter, by the. way. Duncan Robinson is a damn good. basketball player. Let me state that. right now. So you see that happening, but you steady riding with James Harden. And I'm sitting up here saying, "Do we. got secrets on your ass or something?". Put his ass on the [ __ ]. >> Okay, I understand what you're saying. cuz he's obviously not performing to the. level that uh the team deserves or he. should be playing at. But do we know if.

he can still go for like 3540 at this. stage cuz obviously he was with the. Clippers for a while, right? the Rockets and then there was the the. Nets. >> Sixers and Nets. >> Yeah. So, like I feel like we have. followed along with James Harden and I. always just expect James Harden to do. James Harden stuff. I think I saw him. the other night go off a little bit, but. it's like are we expecting him to go for. like 30 one night out of nowhere? >> No. No, but we're not expecting him to. turn over the damn basketball at the. rate that he's turning it over. Look, he's not the first option on this team.

He's not the second option on this team. And a lot of times he might not even be. the third option. I understand that. I'm. not sitting up here saying that he. should be a focal point or I expect him. to go for those type of numbers. What. I'm telling you is is Pat, he's been. more of a liability than he is being. like than he is a help. And at some. point, Kenny Atinson has to make that. decision and say, I'm not saying bench. him. I'm saying, "Hey, man, he need to.

be playing limited minutes off the bench. as a role guy, as a bench player, not in. the not starters minutes." And I'mma say. this, too. I'd be damned if we're going. to end this conversation and I'mma let. Evan Mobley off the hook. I'd be damn. like former defensive player of the. year. you you finish the g you finish the game. with one rebound in a series that you. know you got to come with a certain. level of physicality unacceptable and.

and look I don't want to hear I know. it's been a lot of complaints he needs. to get the ball more he needs to get. more shot attempts but it's not all. about scoring when you can impact the. game has showed us that Wimby put on one. of the greatest performances defensively. that we've seen probably in our. lifetime. So, Evan Mobley, it's other. ways to impact the damn game. Now, it's. on coach Aerson to get you the damn ball. in position where you need to score, but.

finishing the game with one rebound, I. could go get two rebounds right now. >> I know that much. >> Really? >> Well, is that cuz you got the Dennis. Rodman eyes. It's going here. >> But, but I would stay on I would stay on. one side of the floor. I ain't saying. I'mma run up and down, but I know when. they come down, I'll be able to get two. rebounds. And you're guessing what side. person's going to miss, too. Is that. also is that a big part of this? You're. you're going to let a couple go that are. on the other side of the of the rim, right? You're just hoping. >> No, it's about the fact that when you in. the trenches, it's it's about elbows, positioning, and who wanted the most.

Like, it got to be a mentality. And at. 71 with that type of athleticism, it's. unacceptable for him to have one rebound. coming out in a playoff game. >> GET YOUR BASE DOWN, AARON. WE NEED. ELBOWS OUT. WE NEED JABBING. We need to. spar it. We need a LITTLE BIT OF THIS. >> BOX THAT. >> we need to We need the read on the ball. Oh, it's in flight. That's short. Let me. go ahead. >> Oh, that one's going long. >> Boom. Dive. >> Let's go ahead. Let's get some. Let's do.

it. Mobly. >> Come on. >> SICK OF MY GUY. JAMES HARDEN'S GETTING. MURDERED right now. >> Deserve it. >> Mobly needs the a little bit more of. this. >> Agreed. The whole team. >> He's the most important player. There's. a video of Don Mitchell not fighting. over screens and other other teammates. not being happy about it. >> Oh, I saw that. On the defensive side, there was just a full disgusting. I I. didn't like that either, Burke. >> Well, I mean, hey, listen, the one thing. Donovan Mitchell talking about what he. said is no pressure or nothing like. that. He don't feel pressure. You You.

need to. And if I'm his teammate, if if. I'm his teammate, I don't want to hear. that. I don't want to hear that because. then it it it shows signs to me that you. don't care. You should want to embrace. the pressure because pressure comes with. you having to perform and if you do your. damn job and play at an allNBA level. consistently that means you're going to. get wins. And and I came into this. season into this playoffs and these. playoffs saying that the Cavs were under.

the most pressure coming into the. playoffs. Donovan Mitchell was under the. most pressure as any other player in the. NBA coming into this postseason. A. Donovan Mitchell le team has never been. to a conference uh finals. A Donovan. Mitchell le team has never been to a. conference finals. That is a bad. indictment on him and he has to get it. done. With the East being as wide open. as it is, you look on paper, and I'm not. saying this is no disrespect to the.

number one Detroit bad boys, the. Pistons, where they call themselves the. Nasty Boys, but if you look on paper and. you say just going off who by name who. has the most talent, you will say it. favors the Cavs. But when they get. between the lines, I see otherwise. >> All right. So, you think that Donovan. Mitchell should take his team this year. to a conference championship and maybe. even a finals this year? I. >> if if he don't, it's another failed. season and it's another huge.

disappointment. >> I understand. I understand. Hey, that's. the pressure that I think he is a. nameless, faceless opponent guy. I think. that's why he says, "Hey, everything's. the same." I think that might be that I. don't feel pressure because, you know, every day is the same, every game's the. same. That is how he performs. I don't. think you like that just by the look you. were giving there. >> I don't I don't Pat. I don't Pat. I I I. want a guy that that embrace that. Like. I want a guy that want that. >> Like you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like it's supposed to be Let me tell you. something. When you trying to win a.

championship and you're trying to make a. deep one in the postseason, damn it, you. supposed to have a lot of sleepless. nights. You supposed to be stressed out. You supposed to be angry. You supposed. to not want to deal with the outside. world. It's a lot of stuff comes with. with with trying to win a championship. Damn it. When you finish, it's a reason. why you see guys falling to their knees. crying, popping the bottles of champagne. because it's a grind. It's a process. The only thing that matters is the guys.

in the locker room. It's a mentality. You got to have that dog mentality. You. got to want it. >> Let's go. I just I want to run through a. wall for Kendrick Perkins. Hell. >> yeah. I want that. >> Either you want him to either. Look, it. got to it got to be it got to be in you, not on you. >> Hell yeah, perk. >> And some say you're born. >> true. >> with it either in or on, pal. You know, that's what they say. But I've met a. couple of the Nameless, Faceless. Opponent people who are super hippie. that have become killers. But usually.

everybody that's a killer. >> is exactly who you think they are. >> Yeah. And they go. >> is that right there what you just said. You know, Pton Manning was a psycho. That guy was an absolute psychopath. It. is in a good way. These are good things. Nelly Corda, who might go down as the. best LPJ golfer, she said the other day, "I'm a psycho." You know, you you watch. the last dance with Michael Jordan, psycho. LeBron James is 41, psycho. Wayne Gretzky, psycho. Serena Williams, psycho. Tiger, psycho. That that is kind.

of what, and this is in the most. positive way, but they are crazy in the. competitive sense. That is that is the. psycho cis that I am diagnosis seeing. them with. I think is the proper way to. describe that. But it is a little what. you just described there. I would like. my daughter and future baby boy to. listen to like hey this is this what you. need to be the greatest of all time. Can. Spidey get it done? We shall see. Let's. go to the west. A guy that has all those. things it feels like. Go ahead con man. >> Yeah. Perk is talking about WBY and also. possibly Ant. It feels like the.

Minnesota and Spurs kind of combination. of the two uh are that exact thing and. they both want that moment, want that. pressure. What do you think about the. series now? You said if Minnesota won. game two, then they would probably. sweep. They didn't. Spurs get it done. Is this probably heading to seven, we. got game three tonight. Uh what what are. you expecting? Um and do you think the. Spurs kind of go on a road and make. another statement or do you see a big. bounceback for Ant-Man and the Wolves? Well, look, I believe we're in for a.

brawl for it all. I think this series is. going to go seven games. And the most. important thing that I took that I took. away, the biggest takeaway that I had. from that game was. they started talking noise. They. started, you know, they started getting. in the trenches and and mixing it up a. little bit like, you know, and I that's. the energy you want to see. Coach Finch. said they got pumped and then all of a. sudden you hear Anthony Elwood saying, "Hey man, listen. We came out cool. They. did what they were supposed to do." You.

know, basically they kick what? They. kicked their ass, right? They kicked. their ass. But I'mma tell you this. It's. going to be crazy in that arena in. Minnesota tonight. It's going to be. rocking in there. It's going to be It's. They have done an outstanding job of. establishing a dangerous place to play. in. And I believe right now this is. going to be the most exciting one of the. most physical series that we're going to. see. It's a lot of games and a lot of. basketball left to be played and this is.

going to be one of them because I know. Wimpby hates losing and we saw his. spirit when he bounced back in game two. But you know who else have a hatred for. losing? >> Anthony Edwards. >> Yeah. >> And I need Listen, I'm looking at Julius. Randall. Julius Randle has to come with it. If. I'm Julius Randall, let me tell you how. I'm wired. If I'm Julius Randall, I'm. watching all the Knicks games. And every. time I see Carl Anthony Towns go out.

there and have a great game, damn it, I. get jealous and I need to go and outdo. him. I need to go and outdo him because. that's who I got traded for. And I see. him over there making a difference. Damn. it, I got to be the difference maker. over here. That's how I'm W. And it's. okay to be jealous sometime. You know. what I'm saying? It's okay to be. jealous. It's okay to envy some people. when you trying to get what they got. I. actually enjoy that. >> Hey, I just got a stat dropped in my. ear. Randall uh led the team in scoring.

in game one. >> and they got the job done. >> Yeah. So, if he's able to do it again, >> maybe they go crazy. And I like the fact. that you're like, "Hey, I'm going to be. judged off of this trade on how he does. versus how I do. You see him get one. I. need to go get a couple out here." I. love the Minnesota team. I love the. timber wagon. I also enjoy the the. thought of WBY going into that. atmosphere. >> Oh yeah. >> Because I think he will relish. >> is not phased by this. >> Exactly. I think he'll relish it. I. think he'll relish that entire thing. Like and my only wish here is that I.

could get this into the YouTube TV four. bucks. Yeah. >> Okay. Last night. >> hockey is on everything else. Prime is. by itself. Got two games over there. This is certainly something. Their. coverage is great. I'm not knocking the. coverage. I appreciate the fact that. Prime is getting into sports and all. that, but it is hard to, you know, whenever we got two playoff serieses. going on at the same time. Obviously. going to be difficult. We got two big. ones tonight on Prime. Perk, let's have. you pick these games. Sixers favored by.

one and a half. Before you give that, Tone has a question for you. >> Yeah, Per, a couple questions about this. series. Obviously, OG with the hamstring. is huge. What What do you think that. does to the Knicks and especially on the. defense side of the ball? And then, am I. crazy? When I was watching game two and. Embiid was out, does it feel like the. Sixers offense kind of flows better when. he's not on the floor or am I just crazy. when watching that? >> You You're not crazy. Well, one, let me. You're not crazy. I'm going answer this. one first. You're not crazy. It does.

flow better the first, second, and third. quarter, but you know, the 76ers lost. that game in the fourth quarter because. they couldn't make no shots. Yeah. >> Because Tyrese Maxi, he was exhausted. Paul George was exhausted, right? And so. when you think about what Embiid brings. to the table, he brings that balance. that when your outside shots are not. falling, he's going to put and apply so. much pressure on your defense that one, he's either going to get the bucket in.

the low post, make the 15-footer, or. he's going to get to the free throw line. because he's one of the most skilled. bigs to ever play the game. He's. unstoppable. Now when you talk about OG. Anobi, one could argue that he is the most. important player in the NBA for as to. his team success. What he his impact for. what he brings offensively and. defensively. I've been calling them this. for about two years. He is our new era.

of Scotty Pitman. And if I'm if I'm the. Knicks, I don't even think about playing. him games three and game four. I'll wait. to see what happens because I wait to. see what happens. And then, you know, if. it's in a must type win, I'm bringing. them back for game five. But game three. and game four, especially with his. history of hamstring injuries, I'm not. rushing this and I'm not speeding it up. You're up 20. And on top of this, you. know, Jaylen Brunson is averaging about. 36 to 37 points in Philly in the.

postseason. I know he, you know, I know. he that's his second home because of his. Villanova days, but damn, he's averaging. 36 to 37 points in Philly. >> Yeah, he's. >> right this over the past two season. So, he's very comfortable going into that. arena. >> So, you got to expect that Big Body. Brunson and Carl Anthony Towns, even. without OG, they could go in there and. steal one. I don't believe they get game.

three. I think Philly gets that one, but. I think they got enough to steal one and. that will probably be game four. >> Okay. So, I appreciate you saying he's. the most important player to his team. Okay. And then saying they still could. win one without him when we got a WBY. existing out here. Okay. You know what I. mean? Like uh yeah, but. >> I know what you meant. >> We But Pat, we pulled up we pulled up. some numbers yesterday. I don't have the. graphic on NBA date. We cooked a little. >> and it show it showed his impact on both.

ends of the floor of some like some you. know some real nerdy numbers. You know. what I'm saying? But it caught mine and. it showed his impact on you know what he. brings offensively and defensively. I. want you to think about this for a. second. It's no knock to Wimby. >> No we're complimenting both guys. Both. guys. Yeah. So, so I want you to think. in game two in the second half, Mike. Brown chose to go with a small ball. lineup when Carl Anthony Towns was out.

the game. You know who was at the center. position? OG Anovi and he did an. outstanding job on both ends. Like he is. one of those guys like when you talk. about the ultimate three and three and D. guy, he's that he's that he's that. We. need to put a little bit more respect on. OG Anobi's name is what Perkins was just. saying there. >> Hey, they they are quick over here. >> Yeah. Hey, shout out to the production. crew. Good. >> work. Target him out.

>> Hey, Bruce also uh the guy in charge of. flipping through the Hembo stats here. Massive Knicks fan. So, he could not. wait to get this thing. >> Okay. >> This thing had been sitting in queue. here for about, you know, Yeah. >> most underrated player in the league. OG. Anobi. >> There it is. See, couldn't wait. >> That's not what the graphic said. >> Well, no doubt. Highest true shooting. percentage by 20 point per game score in. playoff history, says OG Anobi. Good. luck to him in his recovery. I also. appreciate the fact that you're saying, "Let's go ahead and rest that guy for.

the long term." Okay. So, who do you. got? What are you Let's Let's hear your. picks then for for tonight's games. You. like uh. >> So, I I got the 76ers. I got the 76ers. Yeah. They go protect the crib even. though it's going to be infested with a. lot of Knicks fans. Okay. I got the 76ers. But then in that. Minnesota game, I got Minnesota. They. coach called them out. It's going to be. rocking. He said they got pumped. They. will respond. Anthony Edwards, even. though he gives the best postgame.

interviews that I've seen in a long. time. He had a little smirk on his face, but he was pissed off. I think it's. going to be close, but I think, you. know, Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota. Timberwolves going to pull it out. the. role players, Bones Holland, you know, uh, uh, Terrence Shannon, they're going. to make shots and play better at home. They're going to feed off the energy of. the crowd, and Minnesota is going to go. up 2-1 after tonight. >> All right. We appreciate the hell out of. you in a robe right now. What do you you. uh. >> I'm in I'm in the green room. I'm in the.

green room. I tried to get my lighting. together, but you know, sometimes, you. know, with the haircut, you know, I. ain't got my makeup on yet. You know, sometimes it just don't work, Pat. But. hey, look. >> you know what they tell me. Hey, you. know what they tell me at light uh my. church. >> lighthouse, right? >> Come as you are. Come as you are. >> All welcome. We appreciate the hell out. of you. Carry on, ladies and gentlemen. Kendrick. >> He's a legend. >> Beast. >> The best.

>> There was a time where he was. potentially in our studio once a week. >> Mhm. >> Do you remember that? >> He came once. >> Oh yeah. >> First week he had it. That would have. been incredible. him in here once a week. just experiencing Kendrick Perkins would. have been phenomenal. What a home run. He'll say it. >> He doesn't care with his chest. >> He will say it. How do you describe. Perk? Uh open. >> Yeah. >> Like I I think he wide open. He is he is. very willing to kind of say it which is. why we enjoy him. And he'll always have. some hilarious angle in which why he is.

speaking the gospel and why he is right. and you are wrong. I think a lot of. people didn't necessarily love his. delivery because it isn't like straight. out of a journalism playbook. So, I. think they wanted to hate him. I'm. telling you, hard to hate Perk. You. know, unless you are directly being. attacked by him, which I could see how. current players would certainly hate. him. Donovan Mitchell could certainly. hate Kendrick Burk. I could see how he. would potentially be like. >> Julius Randle. >> Julius Randle potent just lag the team. and scoring in game one. Okay, he could. certainly do that. But for all of us,

it's like Perk willing to say it, does. the research, does the work, and. delivers in his own unique style. And. he's a champ, 15 year player. It's like. we love big perk. >> Yeah. Growing up, Kendrick Perkins was. the guy for the Celtics as far as like. enforcer and guy that's just going to go. out there and embody. >> that was not about that. It was I just. saw the view of the person that's about. to join us right now. I'm so We love. Park. I love you. We love Park. with. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now, senior NFL insider for ESPN, Adam Shaft.

>> Yeah, Chef Dy. >> What's going on, guys? >> Oh, gee. Chef, >> where are you, Chef? What do you got. going on here, pal? You're under an. umbrella of sort. >> Yeah, I'm in uh I am in Florida right. now. There's a Michigan event here. I. guess a fundraising event through the. champion circle and they've got all. these Michigan players, coaches, football program, basketball program, and there's a function tonight to raise. money for the program. And so came down. here mcing a conversation out at a. football event. I mean, I can show you.

the field. I'm off to the side right. now. Otherwise, we would have had some. surprise guests, but uh we are now in. the shade, so that's a good thing. And. happy to discuss football today. By the. way, Pat, breaking news. Breaking news. It looks like the NFL and the NFL RA. have reached an agreement. We should. hear word of that fairly soon, but. that's going to come down soon. Let the. league will be able to avoid replacement. officials, but there's some information. going around right now that agreement. has been reached and I would imagine. we're going to hear about that very. shortly.

>> Thank you for the news, Chef. You're at. a Michigan Let's Fund a Better Football. Team event happening down there in. Florida uh for the refs association to. uh ratify the vote. I believe the the. poll the voting a hours or window opened. last night cuz I thought we'd get an. answer last night. I guess it was just a. window opened. I don't know if it was. via email to all of its members, but. there was a a window closing for when. the vote ended. We didn't know when we. were going to get a response on that. We. thought if they went to a vote that. means they were going to approve it.

You're saying they have that is gigantic. news. I I I don't think especially with. the number of eyes that are on the game. now. uh with the amount of countries. that are in on the game, the amount of. gambling that's in on the game right. now. What happened before with the. replacement refs was an embarrassment to. our sport, to our league, to everything. It could have ruined. >> everything. And I know that the refs. knew that. So, the fact that they kind. of bent and gave in whatever the NFL is. looking for and the fact that the NFL. did the same for the refs to make sure.

they get this done early, I think here, this is a couple weeks early. Congrats. to all parties, Shifty. Legit, that is. huge for us as football fans. That is. gigantic and I don't think people really. understand how big that really is at. this state of time. >> That that's an it's a huge deal and. they're able to avoid replacement. officials and they get the CBA done and. there obviously have been a lot of. discussion about how dire dire talks had. been in January, February, March. Uh oh, we're getting texts about it right now. It looks like Yeah, there it is. Yep.

Okay, here we go. Here we go. Okay. The. NFL. Oh yeah, it's official. Seven Sevenyear collective bargaining. agreement. >> Congratulations. >> Coming in right now. >> Congratulations NFL and the NFL REF. ASSOCIATION. >> SEVEN YEARS YOU HAVE AGREED to keep the. game the game the league the league to. keep the integrity of the game together. >> You two great entities have come. together to become better officials with.

more accountability and a little bit. more advancement of technology. And you. as a league having the best officials in. the world would be a great thing to. happen. So you two agreeing to do that, congratulations and thank you. >> Hell yeah. >> It's official. Say chef D on a beach. down here in Florida next to a football. field. >> It's official. >> Yeah. In fact, we're Pat Pat, we're. going to tweet it out right now as we're. going. We're going to put it on the ESPN. alert. You're going to get all the news. here on all the platforms as we're doing. this because this is what we do. We try. to multitask. So we're going to send out. all the information everywhere.

>> Well, how's the Wi-Fi down there? The. Wi-Fi's BAD. WI-FI. ALL RIGHT, >> THE TWEET is up. The NFL and the NFL. referees association have just. >> Yeah, >> good picture. >> Keep going, Pat. >> Well, I was going to read your tweet. there that you were either typing up or. you had your talk to text, which is why. you were talking in a text form whenever. you told us that the news was breaking. Whatever the case, 7-year deal, the. current deal was scheduled to expire on. May 31st. It goes through 2032. Congrats. to all parties. And I love the photo you. chose to use there. >> Yeah, good compromise. They all look. kind of pissed. >> Yeah, kind of pissed, but also.

understand they got to work together. >> Yeah. And uh I think everybody's happy. here. This is good news for the league. This is good news for everybody. This is. good news for ball. >> Yes, it is. >> Congrats to football. >> Congrats football. >> Okay, let's talk about some other. football news as you're standing next to. a football field in Florida about to. raise millions and millions of dollars. for the Michigan Athletics Program, which is not just football, by the way. A lot of Olympic sports. and you can act. like it's a good thing and for the. future and all that, but what they're. doing right there is showcasing why they. are going to be able to continue to.

compete in athletics in college and some. other places won't. This comes fresh off. the news that the University of Michigan. were one of the initial investors of. Open AI and now their investment is. worth $2 billion. The University of. Michigan invested early in Open AI. Okay, I don't know how they have an. investment fund at a University of. Michigan, but obviously they do. That. makes sense that they have that. They. found this. they get in on it because. the networks that is now $2 billion in. uh profit. Who knows if they pull that. if they have that but that could.

certainly help you get a quarterback. >> Pretty good investment. >> That can certainly help. And Shfter. certainly doing all he can. Good luck to. you guys over there in Ohio. AJ, now. let's keep it moving in the NFL. conversation. AJ has a question for you. Michigan man. >> Yeah, Chef Dwan Jennings signs with the. Minnesota Vikings, I guess. How did how. did this come about and what other teams. were possibly in play for Jennings? You. know, the interesting thing, AJ, is I. was told that there were a few other. teams. I can go back and get the exact. list. I think it was the Dolphins, the. Commanders.

Um, there was somebody else that was. interested. The Vikings were the only. team that I believe he wound up visiting. at all. That was the only one. The other. team, oh, the Chiefs and Commanders also. were interested in Jawan Jennings. Also. expressed a little interest. um. Washington, Kansas City, but ultimately. you got a one-year deal for Minnesota. worth up to $13 million. It's about $8. million in base pay. And so, look, I. think that ideally you want to get these. deals done as early as you can agency,

but he was able to salvage a pretty good. situation. And now we got a we got a lot. of JJs in Minnesota. JJ McCarthy, who's. out here right now, we're go talk to him. in a little bit. JJ McCarthy, Justin. Jefferson, another JJ. Jawan Jennings, another JJ. Like if you are a JJ, JJ. Spawn might wind up playing for the. Minnesota Vikings this year for all we. know. >> Yeah. JJ Watt maybe comes out of a. couple of games. I mean, there's a. chance that a lot of these JJs could. potentially go cray cray for the. Minnesota Vikings. You just mentioned JJ. McCarthy there who we saw at a wild game. a couple nights ago going crazy with the.

lads and also incredible. A you know. what I want? Bang. Okay, so we talked. about this actually. Uh the way he took. his hand and put it to Ray here. It was. pretty evident what he was looking for. Okay, this is a one dap slapper here. that everybody in the world understands. that no matter how much chaos is. happening here, my guy right next to me. shows me this. I know what's coming. Everybody knows that's a bang, the boom, and a pow and we're out of there. Okay, I like that he's doing that. That's good. communication. Okay, that's good. Non-verbal communication from this guy.

might lead to better awareness on the. field as he continues to grow as an NFL. quarterback. There's others that give. you a little happy here. Okay, is that a. [ __ ] handshake or a high five or a. dap up? What are we doing here? I don't. know. Some people, you know, go with the. fist bump straight ahead, then open. hand, then back to the thing. You're not. letting me know what you need. JJ. handles the moment perfectly, I'd say, with a, hey, you know what's coming. I'm. smacking the [ __ ] out of your hand. Guy. that has a button down, tucked in at a. hockey game. So, I mean, that is just.

good stuff. Let's explore that. conversation a little bit more. Go. ahead, Tone. >> Yeah, Shifty. with seeing him with the. boys being here at at the game. It was. it just rattled my brain like is is. Kyler definitely going to be the starter. or is this an open competition you think. going into training camp? >> Uh well I think that. uh. >> oh we have we have more we have more. news. >> We have more news. >> Oh JJ, >> the NFL has confirmed that the schedule. release will take place on Thursday. This a week or six days from now.

Thursday, May 14th. the NFL schedule. will come out in its entirety, Pat, so. we can begin to get ready for next. Thursday. There it is. The news, like, who would have ever thought Friday at. 12:45 that the news is going to be. pouring in here, but that's what's going. on right now. >> Well, Shifty, listen. The NFL's 24/7, especially on Friday news dump days. And. we know we're in the middle of one of. those. May 8th, 2026 in the spring. Got. a big weekend of sports ahead. Oh yeah,

and a bunch of NFL shit's about to be. dropped on everybody's. >> sports and haunt. >> Yeah. Yeah, you're right. There's lots. of stuff on here going on. Shout out to. the schedule coming out next Thursday. There was a little bit of hubbhub about. them potentially delaying the schedule. release because not knowing what uh. platform the game is on or maybe they. don't know which games are when. Uh our. source says at the league said that was. not the case. They was just, you know, we're just still trying to figure it. out. There was a comment made on a. podcast before the draft by somebody was. like and that got kind of taken out of.

context. Now it's official. It's coming. out on Thursday. Excited to see what. games are when and where. Remember the. division games, okay, the placement of. those are always big conversation pieces. early and late. Used to be division. games are kind of as you worked in. because they're the most important. games. The NFL wanted to start with a. bang with division games. So, a lot of. teams were having their most important. crucial games at the very beginning of. the season, which gave us better. football, but had very big big possible. ripple effects very early in the season.

I'm excited to see what the schedule. masters do this year. >> Now, back to the question. You can't say. JJ McCarthy is not going to be the. starter cuz he's 10 feet away from you. >> More breaking news. >> What? >> The Green Bay Packers have released. Brandon McManus, their kicker, after. they drafted the kicker from Florida in. the sixth round. And they paid Brandon. McManis a lot of money. They gave him a. three or $15 million deal last off. seasonason. They paid him his $1 million. roster bonus in March, but they have. already moved on from Brandon McManus.

after drafting Trey Smack in the sixth. round last month. So, there'll be a new. kicker in Green Bay. So much for the. competition that they thought they were. going to have. They have now moved on. from him. So, again, a lot a lot of news. here. All of a sudden, we got a new. kicker in Green Bay. We got the NFL. schedule next Thursday. We got a 7-year. labor agreement between the NFL RA and. the NFL uh itself and and we have James. McCarthy out here and go talk to you. about the Vikings quarterback. competition, which I'm happy to get back. to if you'd like to. >> Okay. So, let's expand on Brandon. McManus there because he started with. the Indianapolis Colts. I know him.

Super Bowl champion. Has uh done. incredible things in the NFL. Missed. more kicks than he would ever like or. have on his entire resume. I assume. he'll bounce back, go somewhere. Anytime. they say there's a competition between. two kickers, that's always one more. roster spot that's getting taken up by a. kicker, especially in this offseason as. you're trying to acrue numbers and. create things. I assume McManus. understood the situation whenever this. guy was drafted out of Florida. This guy. that got drafted out of Florida bombs. balls. We watched him kick. Hopefully. he's good. Hopefully McManis continues. to go on. Seven-year ref agreement. That.

is awesome. Schedule release coming out. Thursday. Spectacular. Starting. quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. Michigan man JJ McCarthy who's 10 feet. away from you or Kyler Murray. Is that. an actual competition? How do you see. that going? >> Listen, I'm not ready to write off JJ. yet. Look, Kyler Murray's got a great. opportunity in front of him. It's. probably as good of an opportunity as. he's had in a long time. When you look. at all the talent surrounding Kyler. Murray, he's got Jordan Mason, he's got. Aaron Jones, he's got TJ Hawinson, he's. got Justin Jefferson, got Jordan, he's. got Jawan Jennings. Right now, there's a.

boatload of talent in Minnesota. And. that doesn't even include a head coach. who's obviously adapt and proficient at. getting these offensive plays in and and. having the offensive production that. Kevin Oonnell has. I I I think I don't. know how you handicap it. Look, I think. a lot of people believe that Kyler is. going to wind up as the starting. quarterback, but I think JJ is going to. give him a run still. I don't think the. Vikings are really willing to give up on. JJ McCarthy just yet. I think they've. got two good quarterbacks there.

Um, I mean, these are two high draft picks, so it'll play out. But I think a lot of. people believe Tyler's gonna prevail and. win the job. But again, I'm not ready to. give up on JJ just yet. >> Okay. I'm excited to watch it all. unfold. Obviously, uh, Kevin Oonnell's. offense is one that is spectacular. They're able to sign another wide. receiver who had other options than. Jawan Jennings. Without telling him who. the starting quarterback's going to be, that's how prolific that offense can be. and should be. Hopefully JJ can continue. to get better. And if Kyler ends up the. quarterback of a Kevin Okonnell offense.

as a diehard Vikings fan for his entire. life and has a full resurgence of being. the guy that maybe we thought or hoped. he could be, that's a great story, too. Good luck to all parties. The Vikings. are currently interviewing for a GM. When's that going to happen? >> Say that again. >> Feels like Jawan Jennings just signed. there. They don't got GM. So, I mean, are they going to get a GM or is Kevin. O'Connor running things? Like, how how's. that kind of all go over there? >> Uh, no. It they've got about six, seven. guys that are on the list right now. they've submitted um they've got turnkey. a search firm helping them to identify.

the right candidate. Uh it they've got a. situation where they've identified all. these candidates. and. they're going to interview them, go. through the process and we'll see where. they get the information from. But uh. who they wind up hiring but I think. it'll it'll uh play out here pretty. quickly. Rob Brzinski is the current. interim GM. He's done a great job there. and I think somebody that has been. overlooked there for a while, he'll have. an opportunity, but they've got some.

really interesting candidates on their. list that they've reached out to arrange. interviews. >> Okay, I cannot wait to see how it works. out there. Griggson also potentially in. there, former coach, general manager who. had uh, you know, not necessarily the. greatest ending in Indianapolis, but did. have winning teams, kind of seemingly. had to go back, earn his way back up to. a position to be in interviews again. I. had a nice chance to catch up with him. feels like he's a different person where. he's at now. Second opportunity is. normally good for people in the NFL or. completely asked both times, but I don't.

think that'll be the case. Uh there's so. many good talents out there, only 32. jobs just like in coaching, but there's. only one senior NFL insider and that's. this man down in Florida. We appreciate. the hell out of you, Shifty. >> Uh Pat, no more things tonight. I got I. gave you all I got today. That's all I. got today. >> Well, tonight you need to go give it a. little bit more. I think there's a lot. of money in that room, Shifty. Let's be. smart. Oh, there's there's a lot of. money in that room tonight, PAT. A LOT. OF MONEY. >> OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. IT'S ADAM. SHAFT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. >> YEAH, I think there is. I think I know.

where he is. >> Probably a cool event. >> I don't know. I don't know. >> He's like MC. He's the MC of the whole. thing. >> Yeah. One of the MC's. It sounds like. it's a Michigan. Do you go to Michigan? Do you have any. tie to Michigan? Can you afford to buy a. plane right now if you have to? Why. don't you come down here? And Shfter's like, I mean, they asked me. to come see you, I guess. Chef, go. Yeah, this feels like a good room to be. in, pal. He loves that. He's a part of. the Michigan. Like, he loves them. There's a chance he was going to be the.

guest picker for game day for Michigan. And I He called me 30 times a day just. like, "Is this happening? Is this. happening?" I'm like, "I don't know. You. got to ask other people." So, he's got. to be so pumped as are we. We're back in. three. Take care. and the commissioner Roger Goodell. making his way to open night two of the. 2026 NFL draft. >> Come on, Pittsburgh. >> And here's a familiar face and voice to.

make the announcement. >> Wow. >> Look out everybody. Here comes McAfee. They said YINS ARE GETTING SOFT. YINS. ARE GETTING TIRED. ARE YOU YINSZERS. GETTING EXHAUSTED FROM SO MUCH FOOTBALL. CELEBRATION or no? Zero arrests last night in the NFL draft. compound. Pittsburgh. Congratulations.

Green Bay Packers. >> You can't. stop. Damn it. >> Be a friend. Tell a friend something. nice could change their life.

>> Hello, beautiful people. And welcome. back to our humble the boat, the. Thunderdome on this feel-good Friday, May 8th, 2026, hour two of the sports. program begins right now. >> Sports. >> are the greatest. That's AJ Hawk. He's. the all-time leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers. The toxic tables here. at Boston Connor and one half of the. Hammer Cowboys AP Ton Ty Schmidt, we. love you, buddy. Ty,

>> Ty, and family. Hell yeah. Congratulations. The boys in the back, you guys are absolutely crushing it this. week. I think uh we should do a weekly. recap thingy. >> Yeah, for sure. >> Don't you think we should recap the. things that we like and the things that. we think are hilarious, AJ? Is that not. something we should do on Fridays? >> Oh, that sounds amazing. Yes. >> Do you want to go with the bad or the. good on Feelgood Friday? First, AJ, >> I say you start with the good. >> Oh, I like that. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for five things that aren't. >> YEAH. From this week in the sports. world, we looked around the entire globe.

in the sports universe and found our. things that we think should be. spotlighted is definitely not being ass. These things are so far from being ass. that they're actually being celebrated. for not being ass. Let's start in. Madison Square Garden. Timmy for three. at MSG known super fan who's about to. come out with an. >> splashy splash. Was that a game time. there? He almost caught it. Obviously. looks super cool. He doesn't dress like. too much of an [ __ ] Certainly has a. little bit of moxy and swag, but has.

certainly played hoops before, which is. what we like to see out of mega stars. AJ Hawk. >> Yeah. I I don't even care if the ball. goes in. I don't like haven't you seen. guys where they take a shot, but they. shot put it and they're not basketball. players and it goes in and people freak. out. I'm like, "No, it's a terrible. looking shot." So, for Timmy not only to. make the shot, but to hit this sweet. little step back and look like he's. played some ball, like I I am very. impressed. >> You stacked this on top of the game day. thing. >> Yeah. >> Where he knew ball, clearly understood. ball. the way he acts at games, how he. crushes everything, the ping-pong [ __ ]. I mean, it's like Timmy's an athlete who.

happens to be a superstar. And uh on. that note, we're pulling for you, Timmy. Timmy, >> keep going, Timmy. >> Timmy for three cash at MSG. That feels. so good, by the way. Where's camera? Holy [ __ ]. >> Thank you. >> Not bad D. Not bad defense either by his. buddy. >> Even if he was by himself, like if there. was no D, I'd be like, that's good. Clean shot. >> That's definitely non ass. Let's go to. another thing that is an ass. San. Antonio Spurs, Timberwolves. Shot clock. dwindling. >> Ooh, Vel.

a no dip tip three to lead. The Spurs as. they continue to do their thing down in. San Antonio. The timing, the. effortlessness, the cleanness of it. makes you wonder like how difficult is. that actually? Well, we tried it out. with Tyrese Hallebertton who's in the. middle of a recovery from an Achilles. yesterday. hand. >> I mean, he cranked at home, but I'll. tell you, it was not like clean. >> No, it it was not like clean. And now, granted, Tyrese is coming out of an. Achilles and he's not necessarily the.

biggest jumper whenever he shoots it, but him describing it, him giving it a. go, it was like, oh, that was an. incredibly impossible shot that guy. took. And how about the perfect timing. of jumping and basically the ball just. kind of coming into his hands as if it. was like a video game glitch while he's. jumping. AJ, >> I mean, this is a playoff game in the. NBA, too. Like this isn't some backyard. game you're playing with your bud. So. yeah, when you hear other professional. athletes talk about how difficult of a. shot this is, yeah, you you can't help. but be impressed. >> It's a no dip tip. >> Yeah, no dip tip. No big deal. And also.

a lot of people are recreating it and. stuff. And even Tyrese, it's like this. guy was not prepared for this. whatsoever. It's just like, hey, situation one second to kind of react. buries it. That's incredible. >> Yeah. The past was also money. >> Yeah. >> That's what I learned from me and Hie. trying to do it. The past certainly. matters. >> Yep. The past certainly matters, AJ. You. know, you can really kind of dictate. whether or not that's going to go in. with the pass. >> You kind of gave him the laces, though. Looks like you gave Tyrese the laces. >> Thank you. And also the location. Yeah, because if that thing's a little bit. right, obviously we're jumping sideways. for doing this number here. That that.

pass that the Vel got from Champagne. there. Was like literally right in it. was as if the ball was dropped into his. hand in the middle of a shooting. Unbelievable stuff all around. Can't. wait to watch them tonight. Let's go to. another thing that wasn't asked. Let's. go to the NHL, shall we? We talked about. this goal already, but how could you not. showcase it again whenever you're trying. to showcase things that are certainly. not asked? Hockey, so fast, so. beautiful, so physical, so filthy. Absolute filth from Doc right there. AJ, he loses an edge. He loses his time. And.

then he drops an absolute dime top tread. over the goalie shoulder. And the goal. is thinking to himself, "Wow, lad, can't. believe you did that." Yeah, >> you know, this is the first thing I. thought of when I saw this was something. I talked about on this program a year or. so ago, the little frog getting eaten by. the duck or whatever, and he's all the. way in his mouth, but his hands are. coming out strangled him. It says, "Never give up." That's kind of a. definition of what this play is. >> Yeah, you're right. I I assume that Doc. had the duck and frog uh poster in his. house growing up in his bedroom just.

like you, AJ. >> Had to had to play make a play like. this. Yeah, for sure. >> Yeah. The resiliency, the never say. never, the no play is over mindset is. certainly what Doc is doing. And that. frog that was getting swallowed by that. long necked bird thought that hey, this. ain't over just yet. If I can get these. big powerful legs around the neck and. then maybe I won't be able to go down. Turns out I think they both die in this. situation. Doc is the winner. And the uh. There it is. There it is right there. >> I think. >> there's no way they're both There's no. way they're both dead.

>> I don't think the frog can breathe. Pelican's out. >> He strangles them before he he loses all. of his life. >> But I think Duck ends up not living. >> Yeah. Lock jaw for the. >> Duck's dead for sure. But the frog the. frog was was close to death, but I think. he made it out. >> I don't think it's a duck either. What. is. >> more like a crane? >> Yeah, it could be a crane. Yeah, craneish. >> That's a big frog if that's a crane. I. mean, that's a big frog. >> King frog. >> I mean, think about the deepness of the. ribbit this [ __ ] would have. I mean, jeez.

>> My house. These things are pretty big, right? Yeah, that would if this was. rivet would keep you up at night. Frog. >> Yeah, it would certainly get. >> I think the frog wins this one though. Yeah. >> You think frog just holds its breath. while it does this? >> I mean frogs, you know, frogs, they live. underwater. So. >> true. >> They live on No, they don't. They can be. swim. >> No, they live on those cool little. things. >> Well, different t You have to and. bullfrogs and and poisonous frogs. You. never know. >> Yeah, we're talking about that big frog. right there. That's a bull frog. >> I can't see his face. I can't I can't. identify it to be honest based on the. legs,

>> right? It could be like an Andre the. giant version of like a little frog. It. could just be the biggest. >> If it's a bullfrog, it wins. >> Feels like a standing 10 count. I think. they both dropped dead. >> And what a fight they both put up. >> Yeah, they did. >> And we we certainly respect that. But. Doc Lift is what we're saying for that. Canadians goal. And that's certainly not. ass. Another thing that's not as I don't. know if you saw this on Monday night. 330 pounder flying through Jesus. >> You ever seen a MISSILE EUROPEAN. UPPERCUT, PAL? YEAH. That's what. >> Oh,

>> he's doing this to Otis, >> dude. And watch him just. >> what? >> Literally shot. >> My goodness. >> Yeah. Just kind of throws him around. And Oba's not done yet. Hey, that 400. pounder that you guys love. >> Yeah. Low center of gravity. How about. we take him to this guy and we take him. down. One, two, and three. >> I don't like that they did that to Otis. Like a. >> Did what to Otis? >> They fed him the OA. >> Just throwing Otis around like he's. nothing. >> That's not ass, dude. He's flying. You. see him? That's a Randy Orton. >> No, I know. But I I mean,

>> hey Brock Lesnar. >> Oh, this is the best, man. >> You would have No, he's not. >> Not anymore. >> Not anymore. >> I'm not talking. >> The best is that guy you're looking at. >> This is why I gave up on this this. thing. >> What? This thing? >> The business. Whatever you guys call it. >> Look, you don't think that Toyota yet? What are you talking about? >> Come on. You crushing all your great. people, man. >> No, they're not crushing anybody here. They're building. They're lifting just. like Oba does to anything he sees. That's certainly not ass what you're. trying to do right now. I don't like it.

one bit. >> Going to help Otis, too. >> I love OB. >> Does sound like it. >> I love Otis, too. >> All right, let's travel to another world. as we talk about college softball and. things that are not ass at all. Here's. Bri Ellis. We saw this from the SEC. Network social media account. Let's see. what type of pitches she gets a whole. game here. Uh, Oklahoma vers Georgia. >> Yep. >> Okay. Or Arkansas. >> Uh, Arkansas. >> Arkansas vers Georgia. Sorry. Arkansas. Patty Gasso actually gave a great promo. after her team lost the game. Arkansas's. Brie Ellis is up to bat here. Gets hit.

Okay, so that's nine straight balls. They do not pitch to her. Let's not. Let's make sure there's no balls in the. strike zone cuz if there are, she'll do. this. Boom. Walk-off grand slam. First. pitch that was in the zone all game. BLS. hits a walk-off grand salami against. Georgia. That had to feel so good. Just. the amount of patience all game. I. assume this happens to her a lot. We. should follow along. I assume they know. that if you deliver anything that is. reachable for Bri, that thing is taking.

a trip out of town. Walk-off grand slam. after not seeing a strike all damn day. That's certainly not ass for Brie Ellis. >> It is not. And I don't know. The only. thing Bellis can do now is use like a 96. inch bat, I guess, and try to get some. of those balls that are way outside. >> Yeah, maybe. You know, the thing about. it is uh her plate discipline is one of. her best skills. Second, >> she was the softball uh player of the. year in 2025. >> So, run that back. >> Yeah.

>> Did you see uh coach Patty Gasso? >> Oh, yeah. >> She's not happy. >> Always. >> She's not happy. >> Back to basics. >> Hands bleeding. >> Crisp. >> Hands bleeding. We need to work now. I. don't think we should run it just cuz I. don't have enough walls to run through. Okay. Just know college softball is. starting to heat up and it's certainly. not ass at all. And those are five. things that we thought were not ass. >> Yeah. >> Now, do we want to go to the things that. are ass? >> I think so. Yeah. >> All right. Well, let's hop on a train. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to HIT. THE UH OH NO.

TRAIN. JOINING us to HOST OH NO. LADIES. AND GENTLEMEN, it's football afficionado. for ESPN, Dan. Oh no. >> DANO, HOW YOU DOING? We were hoping it. was an oh yeah type day, but it feels. like it might be an oh no. Dan, no no. day, if you know what I'm saying. >> How do I How am I a part of this? What. did I do? Well,

>> you're kind of the face of it. >> Yeah, this was supposed to be done 6. minutes ago, but uh obviously it carries. this along because we want to celebrate. all the things that were not asked, but. we also have to celebrate the things. that were maybe uh odoll worthy. And if. you're waiting uh on hold there, we need. to bring you in because you have been a. part of a couple oh nos. We all have. >> Yeah, >> we all have been a part of some oh no. >> We've definitely been a part of some. small. >> We're not going to show your your. biggest Oh no. >> Yeah, you are. >> No, no, we're not. We're not going to do. that one. >> Big games. >> No, we're not. We're not going to do the.

Fernando Mendoza. We're not going to do. any of that. Okay. We're not going to. dive into that. We got time for that. We. just would like you to help us describe. what you were watching in this week in. sports for the Oh no train. >> Believe it or not, you are not getting. dunked on this time. >> Phew. >> Huh? >> It's a good day for me then. >> Well, actually, ladies and gentlemen, THE FIRST. >> OH, NO. >> COMES FROM A FEW YEARS BACK. Dan Long, THE QUARTERBACK OF THE DETROIT LIONS. BEING CHASED by a legend. >> That's my first time.

>> D He gets credit for the sack, right? Absolutely. >> I think so. I think thanks thanks for. that. I think that's the most important. part of that AJ is who got credit for. the sack. >> You got credit for the safety for sure. He for a long time. Uh he got credit for. the sack. And also he's a Hall of Famer. potentially because he scared a safety. into the other team. And Dano, I'm on. your your team here. If I was in that. position, which I certainly never would. as an NFL quarterback, I don't know if I. would ever get that position where Jared. Allen is over there. But sometimes.

you're so locked in, you're just not. worried about how far back it goes. Cuz. we're trying to go all the way that way. for a touchdown. I'm not worried about. backwards. Spaceships don't come. equipped with rearview mirrors. They. dip. You weren't looking back. You were. only looking forward for a 98 yard. touchdown. So you're such an optimist. You look like an [ __ ] It made. everybody say, "OH NO.". >> ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO TO THIS WEEK, shall. we? Let's go to a game for the. >> No. Would you like to comment, Dan? Oh, no. Would you like to turn this into a. Dan? Oh, no. Pot session or what? What.

do we. >> No, go ahead. Go ahead. Go for it. >> Please, please, please. >> Yeah. One, you said spaceships. Aliens. aren't real. Two, the. >> I saw an eightided thing. I just saw an. eight-sided thing while I was going to. the bathroom. Had a three-minute break. People are going through the files. I. saw an eight-sided thing. I saw an. eightided nude floating around. >> Um, >> the storylines of that play and that. game. Uh, we lost that game 1210. >> Oh, no. Gus Farat. Who was the kicker. for Minnesota?

>> Brian something. >> He was good. Yeah. >> You lost 1210. >> Brian Greasy. >> We lost 1210. >> I'm bummed out about that. >> On a game-winning field goal. >> That was also the 0 and6 season. >> Oh no. >> So you basically caused that. >> I don't want to. I don't want. >> Dan. Oh no. And. >> we should not have done that. Okay, we're going to put that to bed. >> But all those bad days kind of led you. to here though, right? Both Lions fans. Now you guys are super pumped up about. your players going to Pistons games and. sitting courtside and having Celebrity. Row and looking super cool, right?

>> Yeah, we went 116. We drafted Matthew. Stafford. He had about 12 great years in. Detroit. Ended up trading him for Jared. Goff and now we got Jared Garc. So yeah, Dan, that play pissed me off at. the time, but now that we're doing this, thank you for running out of the back of. the end zone there. >> Thank you. Thank you for doing that for. all of Detroit. >> Team guy. Team guy. >> From the Stones fans to the to the. Tigers fans all the way to the Lions.

fans and the Lions player sitting. courtside. Aiden Hutchson looks so cool. >> Yeah, he's Detroit's OA. >> Did you see. >> Did you see how cool he looked. yesterday? >> Yeah, he looked good. He looked good. >> Pretty good looking dude. >> Yeah, looked pretty jacked, too. Had. sunglasses on. Even gave a excuse me, let me hear it for me, please. One of. these. You know, a Hulk Hogan. Come on. Well, let me go ahead and get that. I uh. I love that Hutch and the boys are. supporting the team. I like that Jir. Gibbs is there. I like that the city of. Detroit's coming together around this.

number one seed, Detroit Pistons. Are. the Stones about to rally the city? Are. the Stones about to go on a real run. here? Foxy, is life good? All because, and remember, we don't have any of this. if Dano doesn't run out of the back of. the end zone back then. Is that not. something we need to talk about a little. bit more? >> That's 100,000% correct, Dan. If I were. you, I would be taking all the credit. for all of this. The Pistons are back. The Tigers are back. The Lions are. finally good for the first time in my. lifetime. The Red Wings still kind of. stink. Let's not talk about the Red.

Wings, but all of this is because you. ran out of the back of the end zone. Thank you, Dan. >> And Ryan Longwell was the kicker. >> Ryan Longwell. Ryan Longwell. He was a. great great kicker. >> Game winner. I'm not going to take all. the credit. I will say that Detroit is. an awesome awesome sports city and like. the whole sports complex that they have. I don't know where the Pistons new arena. is, but the football Ford Field and. Comra are right next to each other and. they're sick. Like that whole little. section or of stadiums on top of each. other. You guys were there for the draft. years ago, so you know it. It's it's.

it's a great city. >> Also, Greek Town, right? Is that the. >> Greek Town? And then uh Little Caesar's. Arena is also downtown now, which which. is where Pistons and Red Wings play. People are very happy about all that. >> Hey, congrats Detroit. All because of. this guy, >> Dan O. >> Thank you, Dan. Okay, let's go to some. oh nos happening now, shall we? Dano, is. that better to talk about others doing. oh no instead of you doing a no? >> Make fun of other people. >> Okay, we're not making fun of. We're. just pointing things out that are. happening. Here's a Cleveland Guardians. fan. I I assume he'd been a fan of the. team since they were another name. He go. to the athletics game in Sacramento,

drops the ball, SPILLS BEER ON DATE. WORST CASE SCENARIO, ABSOLUTE OH NO. SITUATION AS THE athletics fan comes in. and goes, "Shut your fanat up." And. grabs the ball away from him as he walks. off. AJ, that's a Cleveland Guardian. fan. Two, two of them. And I'll tell you. what, Ohio representing well out there. in Sacramento, it appears. >> No, there's not a Cincinnati Reds fan. We know that. I mean, at least catch the. ball. If you're going to pop the beer. all over your girl, at least catch the. ball with your left hand, man. What are.

we doing? >> He was smiling, so that's why he jumping. for the ball. >> You got to catch it. I liked everything. up until execution. I like that he. didn't think about putting the drink. down. I like that he thought blindly. with the amount of optimism that and. athleticism that is currently in his. body. The last time he did something. athletic, who knows? Decades we're. thinking. >> Yeah, probably. >> him immediately thought to himself, I. can do this. I like it blindly. No. thought of gravity and inertia and all. that [ __ ] with the cup. Just.

>> golden shower. >> He's seen others do it. >> Shower. >> Complete golden. >> Just a beer. Golden shower all over the. date. We want to let them know we. appreciate you guys. And her laughing. about it all. That's great. Guy taking. ball. Even better. All those things. But. it's certainly in the moment. As soon as. you see it, you can't HELP BUT SAY, "OH. NO." SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE STARTING TO GET. IT, DAN. OH, you see it. Let's stay in. baseball, shall we? Let's go to the. bottom of the tenth. Mann in second. Cannot give up a hit right now. Cannot. at all. Michael Bush hits a ground ball.

up the middle. Oh. >> Oh, no. >> Keep your body in front of the ball. proper style sounds so easy till you're. in the bottom of the tenth with all the. pressure in the world on you. Cubs in. the middle of a win streak and all of a. sudden gone. balls. Cubs win. They have now won nine. straight. >> I believe so after yesterday, right? >> Nine straight games the Cubs have won. And on the flip side, the Reds, they. haven't won either. I think they've lost. seven straight or something like that. It has been a tough go. This has been a. part of both sides of the story. And as.

soon as you see it, you go, Ellie, you're so cool. BUT UH OH NO. LET'S STAY. IN BASEBALL BUT MIX in football. Dannowski. Sunny to get your take on. this. Malik Willis, new face of the. Miami Dolphins franchise. Go pitch one. FOR THE MARLINS. OH NO. >> GUY COULD HIT THE BROAD SIDE OF A BARN. DAN, WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON DOWN. THERE? >> That's a tough one. Looks like he has a. baseball background, too. Like if you. just watch the wind up and the step back. like a dude's done this before, Matt.

misses by 20 feet. Yeah, AJ, he brought. a glove with him, which we like. We like. that he brought the glove. >> Is he trying to throw a hook? Like, is. he trying to throw a break? >> I think he's trying to throw it up. there, Dano. He just didn't want to. bounce it. I think he's trying to throw. it up there. I don't think he was really. worried about throwing a strike. >> Hey, he almost took a guy out by 20 ft. >> He almost hit a guy in the head back. here. I mean, there's a there's a light. blue shirt, I assume. Worker. I mean, he's right. >> Oh, you're right. >> Barely dodged. >> And maybe that's Malik thought he was. supposed to throw it to that guy. >> Sure. >> There was there was a chance that maybe. he just didn't know who he was supposed.

>> He didn't want to hit the checkown. You. want to hit the post, >> but as soon as we saw it, we boy, he's. aggressive. You know, who knows how. that's going to go down there in Miami. But as soon as you watch that, YOU GO, "OH, NO. >> WELL DONE.". >> All right. You're not bad. Little. dramatic, little theatric. Kind of. hanging on to the O a little bit longer. than he should. Starting a little bit. later than he can, but yeah, we'll we'll. continue to get better and better. Let's. go to soccer, shall we? This is AC Milan. goalie Michael Mayan. They just got a. huge win. Go ahead and enjoy yourself. Let's go. Get after. Actually, it was a. zero draw and we're down.

>> No. Ah, >> I thought I thought a team won. That's. on me. It was a 000 draw. It's soccer. Obviously, this guy just had a shut out. >> He rarely fall forward down the steps. >> Yeah, like that. >> I think his cleat got caught maybe on. the edge of that step and then it just. kind of kind of lost it down there. >> Gravity. >> What the. >> What's Are those steps just like your. traditional stairs down? >> I don't know. They might be a little. metaly. They look like. >> Is it in Italy? Cuz they made. >> This doesn't look like a great. construction setup. >> Okay. And also thin stairs. It appears. thin stairs. You know, those thin stairs.

will get you because you uh slip off the. bottom. He got stuck, I think, with his. cleat and kind of ate [ __ ] after having. a a shut out game. Good for him. AJ, doesn't Lambo have like some sketchy. situation where I'm going down some like. cement stairs and cleats? Is that Is. that Lambo? >> Yes. Yes. >> Oh, yeah. Stairs are like that wide. >> Yeah, that's sketchy, dude. Like I I. remember. >> you got to go down sideways. >> Yes, exactly. That's right before game. about to play in Lambo. Here we go. This. is the coolest night of all time. And. then you get there and it's like, "All. right, don't bust ass coming down this. thing. You got cleats on, everything's.

slick. Now, obviously, we got Manan. going, "OH, NO.". >> ALL RIGHT, LET'S HEAD to Liga Portugal. in soccer. Sporting CP knocks it around. And then Zeno the Bust, who's not the best. Boom, bang. Let's go. and pass it back to the goalie. Actually, let's go slide this one right. by. >> Oh jeez. >> Own goal out there. Uh, Zabast. eventually knocks it in for an own goal. Victoria SC ends up losing five to one. So, this was just an ass beating alto.

together and not being on the same page. and quite a little slot there by the own. goal. You know, the goalie had no chance. to get there. You want to talk about own. goals? Let's. >> I think that's on the goalie. Don't you. think that's the goalie's fault? Once he. passes it forward, he just kind of hangs. at the that right post. Why would he be. hanging at the post and not is that a is. that a soccer thing? >> Yeah, I don't know. And also, he should. make himself available, I think, would. be what the coaching point would be. here. You know, like, hey, if somebody. has the ball, make yourself available. Can he get the ball right there? I think. he probably thinks so. I don't know. I. don't think you need to go right back to.

the center of the goal because he's a. part of that play there. He's passing. it. You know, they're part of that. entire thing. He can't pick it up. because it was passed back to him. So, he's a part of the the ball on the. ground. Yeah. His little triangle stuff. I don't know. Could be on the goalie. Let's do this next one. There's another. one, Dana, that might be on the goalie. Let's head to Suda Americana. A team. from Brazil. Vasco Darma is taking on a. team from Chile. And. >> Oh, no. >> I mean, goalie. Come on, dude. Exactly. That's Allan Salivia who puts a sneaky. pass past his own goalie to give Odox a. tally on though. He looked like he was.

running in mud there. >> Yeah, he did. >> That one's on the goalie. That one's on. the goalie feeling. >> Yeah, Dano, you were running the mud. Yeah. >> Jesus, >> that's tough though. >> We got to be We got to be more. explosive. Place is packed, by the way. >> Yeah, place is packed. This is Brazil. taking on Chile, obviously. People. everywhere. Soccer. >> There's no one there. >> No, it's the world sport. You just can't. see. >> Wait, was this during co. >> Yeah. Okay. Potentially, ladies and. gentlemen, as you watch it, you can't. HELP BUT SAY, "OH, NO. THAT WAS NOT DURING CO." I believe that.

was in the last week. Although they got. >> I was going to say co. >> There's not many fans. >> There's nobody there, Dan. We get it. Okay, let's go to Garnet Hathaway. He. goes to back it up on somebody. Let me. go ahead and check you. Uh, actually, >> oh my god. >> Banana tailpipe sitch. >> Pause. >> That's tough. >> Boom. worst place that he could. potentially be going for an ash check. and end up at. I mean, that's a. situation there that could potentially. be long-term. I assume you got to get. that checked, but you're certainly.

walking around a little bit like this. for a while. He's skating like this for. a while. I think uh people would say, Dano, when you see that, is your first. reaction NOT. >> Don't you think, Dano? >> Yeah, absolutely. My first reaction is. >> I have no idea what the hockey padding. setup is like. So I don't know if there. is an actual pad on the back there. Uh. >> there's no balloon not perfect. I don't know if they have that. >> tailbone protector. I don't know. I. pocketed like that.

>> I don't think it's a tailbone we're. worried about there. Is it? I think. we're worried about more so. >> Yeah. >> Who didn't shut the door on the team for. not shutting the door? >> You don't like that thing, >> man? That's what he said, I THINK. COME. ON. YOU SAW MY ASS COMING. OH, >> YEAH. We need a double or triple padded. >> Whatever the case, when you look at. that, you can't help but say, >> "OH, >> NO.". >> All right, let's stay in hockey. Let's. go to Avalanche. Uh Parker Kelly in the. middle of a little bit of scrum there. with Baldi. Who can eat it? Oh, the ref. The ref can get it right in the face.

Engage. >> He doesn't blink though. No. >> Yeah. Well, that's hockey. And that's. why we're pump. Boom. And he takes a. shot at him. >> Cheap shot. >> Well, hockey says any shots a good shot, I think. >> Little face wash. >> Boom. Fa punch to the ref. You can get. it. Baldi, you can get it. Oh, you're. breaking us up, huh? That's cute. How. about this? Boom. Left hook around the. guy. I tell you what, the entire. situation for the linesman MAKES US GO, "OH, NO.". >> AND OBVIOUSLY, DANO, you know this from. golf. Every once in a while, the sun's. going to make you look like an [ __ ]. Seth Straa says, "Hey, you know what?

Everybody, take a look at this.". >> Whoa. >> Oh, NO. SETH, YOU KNOW, got to get some lotion. on that. And then let's go to South. Korea, shall we? This is an MMA uh. league organization down there that's. basically like South Korea verse the. world. No, it's Felipe Pereira who's. going to be doing a lot of the antics. before the fight and then it's Hook Mini. who does a lot of the dancing. afterwards.

I kill it. I kill him. >> That's a big one. >> That's a big one there. You better win. Who wins the fight? Well, >> I think you know to go to sleep.

Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh. no. Oh no. >> Anytime this comes up in this morning. Yeah. >> THAT'S TWO. BOOM. That's three. >> That's four. And then also remember what. you did earlier. Yeah. A little bit of. that. Hey, Felipe. All that talking. When you got into the action, IT WAS ONE. BIG OH, NO.

>> I LIKE SELLING THE fight though. I do. appreciate that. And that was the oh no. train there. Thank you for joining us. there, Dan Olowski. And that's about all. the time we have for you today. >> I'm joking, Dan. I'm joking, Dan. Okay, let's dive into some football talk after. the Oh, no. >> You got nothing going on. You're good. >> Yeah. You tell. Well, you're saving the. world uh by fighting the alien files. It. sounds like. >> Yeah, >> sounds like that's what you got going on. for the next I don't know month or so of. your life. >> I just don't believe aliens are real. I. used to argue with Stafford about this. all the time. >> Stafford says, "Hey, Dan,

>> is a big space guy. I don't know exactly. where he stands on aliens, but he's. obsessed with outer space, but we're. intrigued by it.". >> Yeah, me I think a lot of us on this. particular show are as well. So, obviously Stafford's like that. Obviously, that's our MVP. >> Makes it our MVP. He's thinking like. that. Uh our MVP, huh? Not all of ours. >> Yeah. I mean, he's our MVP. He's the. NFL's MVP. That's we we view ourselves. as NFL people. It makes sense that he's. a space guy in the entirety of it all. What if somebody showed you uh direct.

evidence that they were real, though? You would still have to not believe it. Is that how you are, or are you. >> No, no. I could I can get into that, but. we don't, to my knowledge, I'm not the. smartest person, I don't think we've. ever seen direct evidence. >> kind of right. >> that aliens are real. >> I don't know. The alien files are out. today. Department of War said, "Hey, here they are. What's coming out? We. don't know. I saw a bunch of this. though. I saw a bunch of these things. just out there. Yeah, there it is right. there. Dana, >> it's right there. >> Yeah, >> I don't know what that is. I I don't I. don't What is that? That's clearly what.

it is. Yeah, that's what we're saying. >> I do want to see them. I need to see. them though. It's I Great. This is their. ship. Whatever. >> I need to see what's inside. >> You need to get one of those. >> Yeah. I need to shake one of their. hands, you know. I want high five. >> in Time Square in a glass box. >> I want an Oklahoma drill one of these. things, you know. Yeah. Maybe a show. I. want it. Alien zoo. Every main city. needs one in a box that everyone can go. and look and see. >> and ask questions to. >> Yes. >> And it has to because even a video now. >> So you're you're team you're team aliens. are real. >> Me.

I'm team they're definitely possible. Yeah. Definitely. >> More likely than not. >> Yeah. >> And then are you team like. they are like from the movies visually. or they're many black people on Earth? >> I don't know. I don't know. There's been. so many things like the gray people. conversation, you know, like that whole. thing. There's been a lot of that. Yeah, that is a tiny little jug there. Make. sure you don't get enough hydration. There's just a lot of conversation about. them. A lot of different descriptions of. them. I don't know. Hopefully, these. files will lead to us seeing them. And. once again,

>> I would like to think that if they're so. damn uh sophisticated and educated that. they can get to us for files to even be. open, that if they did want to wipe us. out, they would already done that. So, I. I would like us to potentially, if they. do exist, which I'm open to the idea. that they certainly do. Okay, I'm. certainly open to that idea. I would. just like us to work with them. You. know, this is like AI inevitable. Let's. work with AI. You know, let's remember. that we can unplug AI, right? >> Did you happen to see the old XFiles. episode that was going around this week? >> Oh, I hated XFiles. >> Did Did you see what was going around?

>> Scoly and Moulder, dude. >> In one in one of their episodes, uh, the. aliens released a virus. >> I don't want to hear it. >> Guess what the virus? Guess what the. virus was? >> See, >> haunt. >> No, >> that's real. >> I don't want to be haunted by these. haunted stories cuz I think I saw what. uh was it what uh NFL player tweeted. Matthew? >> Tyron Matthew tweeted haunt virus in. 2020 or something like that. Let's Hey, >> football, please. >> I'm not worried. >> With that being said, I would like the. Colts to sign one of these things if.

they are out. >> cuz I know they can figure out. >> the alien draft like supplemental draft. would be cool. >> Yeah. Think about them getting to the. quarterback. They have to be a separate. draft, right? >> Boom. All of a sudden, the culture win. the Super Bowl. I mean, this is what I'm. here for. Let's move to NFL. >> Even with an alien, they probably still. would. >> You see what they did? They disappeared. They came back. Magic man. Now you see. me, now you don't. Somebody goes put. their hands on. >> tough tough to block. >> Yeah, absolutely. Tough to block. Yeah, that's that's what we're talking about. though. That That's what I'm saying. That's why we need to learn. That's why. we need to talk. We need to keep these. open minds because our football teams.

might get better from this. And if we. win a Super Bowl because of an alien, I'm cool with it. I'm still going to the. parade. Now, speaking of parades, Pittsburgh Steelers, the hell's going on. over there, Dan. In your eyes, there was. mixed reports going on. A lot of mixed. reporting going on within Pittsburgh. >> Um, Doran Dickerson, scoring Doran. Dickerson went to pit, played in the. NFL. >> He's part of 937 the fan. He reported. yesterday morning that he heard that uh. Aaron Rogers was coming in this weekend. Uh, and I don't know if he reported the.

sign or not. Sign. Ian Rapport quote. tweets goes, "Yep, they're planning for. him to come out there and do it." Then. we're hearing reports that no, it's not. happening. With with all this being, it. seems like Aaron Rogers is going to be. the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, but. it is not beneficial and we have no. idea. What are your thoughts on the. situation that's brewing over there? And. uh are the Pittsburgh Steelers with Mike. McCarthy, who are definitely in win now. mode, I think, with the hiring going to. be able to do as such next year? >> No. What's best for the team is that. Aaron Rogers is the quarterback. What's.

best for the organization is that. anybody but Rogers is the quarterback. >> Okay. >> Um I I think with Aaron with Aaron as. their starting quarterback, they are a. fringe playoff team. Um they aren't. they're not going to be better than. Buffalo, New England, Baltimore, Cincy, Houston, Jacksonville, the Chargers, Denver. So, you you got to hope that one. of those eight or nine teams doesn't. play well and you kind of shoot over.

your skis. I think they're a nine- win. team with Aaron. Um, and that's why I. say with the team. Yeah. Like I get it. because there's Dam Hayward and TJ Watt. and Jaylen Ramsay, some of these, you. know, long obviously two longtime. Steeler veterans, Hall of Famers, all. three of them. They want to win now. And. so for the this this team, this 2026. version, the best thing is to have a. quarterback as good as Aaron playing. But for the organization, it's not. because you're just going to be picking. at. >> 20 again. I I Tone, you may know this.

It blew my mind. The Steelers have had. two top 10 picks since 1990. >> Yeah. >> Winning season. >> And so it's crazy. Two top 10 picks. since 90 and one of them is the 10th. pick. Um, and so I just I I can. understand and appreciate the history of. the organization and the consistency of. the organization, >> but what's best for them is to fall back. this year and to not be good and try to.

gather a top 10 pick and figure out the. long-term spot at quarterback. >> Okay. So, you think they hired Mike. McCarthy? They still have TJ, Cam. Hayward, all the vets on the build in. the building, right? All the olds. They. still got a lot of the olds. have been. around for a long time to kick kick it. in a year. >> No, I I don't I I I I said this to you. guys a month ago. Aaron's going to be. the starting quarterback. I said write. it in pen. That's happening. >> But that's what's best for the team is. not what's best for the organization. >> That that's that's this is one of those.

situations that what what is best for. the team is for Rogers to be the. quarterback because that group can win, but what's best for the organization. long term is not. >> Okay. So, I can understand where you're. coming from strictly because a lot of. Steelers fans have been feeling this way. about Tomlin. You talk about the two top. 10 picks. That's because they're always. winning enough games, but they never win. enough games and they never lose enough. games. So, they've been there in the. middle of the draft literally for TW. It's like purgatory. But, do you think. the team next year, no matter who is in. purgatory, does Aaron keep you in. purgatory? I guess is what Dan Olavski.

is saying. But what if Dano what if Dano. doesn't realize that maybe because Haunt. maybe because everything going on that. this is an Aaron Rogers in Mike. McCarthy's offense. >> Hunter. >> Exactly. We love what you're doing. Just. keep doing what you're doing, bro. >> Tunnel vision. >> Don't worry about anything. [ __ ] it all. Just Just. >> don't worry about anything. >> What is this Honda? This guy. >> Wake up. >> How How big is the rock? I is the rock. come with the house that you live under?

Like I I don't understand. >> Am I supposed to know? >> Nope. You're not. You're supposed to. know. >> Everyone knows that. >> It's an entity for sure. And I think. you'll just go ahead and sit back. Just. sit back, guys. Make sure you sit back. You just go ahead and sit back. >> We We are on the internet a lot. I. talked to a group yesterday. I was the. only one that knew what it was. >> Okay. So, I guess Yeah, that is the. difference we found ourselves in. We we. don't. >> we live on the internet so we we kind of. hear everything happening. You live in.

film so we'll keep you updated on stuff. Just know the haunted thing. Yeah, there. it is. >> Dan, where do you live down there? >> Patrick Star's house, right? >> Is that Spongebob? >> No, Spongebob lives in a pine pineapple. under the sea, dude. >> I did not know that. I would have right. there. >> I believe that's neighbor. >> I believe it's Patrick Star's house. >> Or I guess he's two down. He's next to. Squidward. >> All right. Anyways, don't worry about. anything, but let's talk about this. Steelers team. Do you think they can win. at all? Cuz if you can win another Super. Bowl, that's the only thing that. matters. Literally the only thing. >> I agree with the majority of what Dan.

said. I I do think they will be a better. team this year with Aaron because of the. coaching change. Um will it be enough to. get to the Super Bowl? >> Probably not. Um. >> Jeez, >> I I said that Dan. I just said that. Um. >> there was a lot of Yanzers and and me. included when you know Aaron like when. and he's still not back but was like, "Hey, let's [ __ ] it. Let's go with Will. this year. Either you find your. quarterback of the future. He surprises. people, Dan being one of them. Or you.

win four games and you get your. quarterback of the future in the 2027. draft, which is supposed to be much. better. A lot of people were hoping for. that, but the coaches don't want that. The players do not want that. I don't. even know if the organization wants that. at all. So, we'll obviously not cuz, you. know, they want Aaron back. Um, but no, I agree with a lot of what some of the. teams that he said would be better. I. didn't agree with, but you know, a lot. of with what he said was right. >> Yeah. And he left off the Colts. Obviously, the AFC is certainly stacked. Uh AJ, your thoughts on your friend. Aaron Rodgers being in the middle of a.

conversation around the Pittsburgh. Steelers yet again. It feels like this. is uh backto-back years of this and then. it was the Jets before that that it was. Packers. Like anything Aaron does is. always going to be a conversation. I. think he knows that. I think we all. understand that. But this one has become. so dynamic, I think, because the way the. fans who are dieh hard and loyal and. would be if you won are at the point of. feeling like if this guy who already. knows what the building's like, already. knows who the coach is, already knows.

everything, doesn't want to come back, what are we waiting around for? And I. think Mike's waiting around and I think. Omar's waiting around. I think the. Steelers are waiting around just like. they were last year. But fans can't. really uh comprehend that it feels like. AJ. >> Yeah. Yeah. Well, fans aren't aren't. talking and having conversations with. Aaron and his representatives as we've. seen Omar has said that and coach Mike. since he's been on the job, I guess. So, they obviously feel like from their. dialogue they have had with Aaron and. his side that that he's going to, you. know, they're going to figure things. out, I guess. Doesn't it seem like that? We're almost in June right now and it's.

still up in the air. So, yeah. And I. know Dan says it's not best for the like. the organization or the franchise, but I. guess it's just short-term, long term, right? like short term it's obviously. better for him but I just don't know how. it can be a plan that hey we need to. lose enough games to where we get to. pick high enough to get our next. franchise quarterback. I think that's. hard to sell to anybody. >> I don't think Steelers fans are necessar. I mean they they talk about it in theory. but then doing the season. >> I mean it hasn't happened in 20 plus. years. Uh rookie mini camp starts today. and then mandatory mini camp starts uh.

June 2nd. So I mean we're we still have. a few weeks before mandatory mini camp. and and other guys getting reps isn't. necessarily the worst things but we'll. see. Okay, so uh Omar Khan did a. Westwood one interview earlier today. Uh. Omar Khan on Aaron Rogers to Chris Mack. on Sirius. Okay, also Serious. I don't. know where specifically Aaron is. >> in the world. >> I think that's kind of what that could. be. I can tell you that Aaron and I and. coach and Aaron and Aaron's. representatives have had good. conversations since season ended and. since Mike got hired, it's been. positive. But yeah, I don't know where.

he is at this moment. Okay. Could be in. the building. Maybe he's downstairs in. the quiver room. >> Oh, could be. >> Maybe he's in a bathroom. >> Maybe he's in a locker room. He's. probably he's probably up to his ears in. these alien files if we're being honest. >> He was probably going to come and then. he heard that the files were getting. released and he's like, "Well, I don't. have time for the Steelers right now.". >> He's had the file. >> See you tomorrow. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. He he already knows a lot. I'm a. little bit worried that if you are on. the internet, you know, a lot of these. files. >> that are potentially getting released. So, I'm a little bummed out. >> But Aaron's not on the internet. >> Remember, >> he's always there. >> He gets all of his info from Mia, his.

sister. >> Come on. >> In-law. >> That's which is also your sister-in-law. And now you sign him. >> Yeah, cuz you're. >> Well, he hasn't signed yet. So, >> let's talk about more things that. happened around the NFL world. Joe. Burrow looks super cool out and about. He also was training with the Bengals. just yesterday. He had a uh a full sled. on as they're continuing to work out. during the spring. They have the um the. sports bra, catapult sports bra. >> So cool. >> But he has the black shirt underneath.

it, so it looks cool. And obviously Joe. Burrow is going to look cool whenever he. does anything. Running full speed. obviously seems to be pumped. Do you. think Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati. Bengals have a big bounceback this year? Dan Orloski, >> I do right now. That would be my t pick. to win the division. I think it's. obviously a huge year for Cincinnati for. Joe. That's why they make the trade for. Dexter Lawrence. A bunch of new starters. on defense that just have to pay off for. them. Two years ago, Joe Burrow has this.

historic season in NFL history. It's one. of the great quarterbacking and. offensive seasons we've seen and they. don't get into the playoffs because the. defense is equally historically bad. I. have very little doubt that if. everyone's healthy on this offense, it'll be a top five offense. Now, part. of that's got to be Joe. Uh Joe has to. own some of the health of his own. career. They've got to protect him. I. thought the offensive line was better. last year, but it's still a challenge, right? Like it's still been the the. narrative is they haven't kept him. clean. But if he's healthy, then this.

defense just gets a little bit better. Yeah, this is the the for me the pick to. win the division and absolutely matter. in the AFC playoffs. Um. I think that it's a a fascinating year. in Cincinnati and in Philly for the. quarterbacks because, you know, they're. three straight years without the. playoffs. They don't go again with what. they've invested now into the team and. kind of given Joe what is needed and. wanted at least by reports. Yeah, I you. could absolutely see it getting very. noisy and and him wanting him wanting.

out. >> Okay, last question before we let you go. because we got Action Bronson on the. other side. >> Whoa. >> Cannot wait to talk to him. Chef, rapper, actor, content creator. Respector of aliens. What? >> Yes. >> Unlike who we're talking to right now. >> That's respectable. >> These things are listening. Everything. >> thousands of years we got no evidence. >> They just released all files. >> What about. >> Dan? Might be a hybrid. They trying to. throw us off. >> Pyramids. Oh yeah, for sure. An alien. would run out of the back of the end. zone.

one, but I'm every year. When is it ever. easy for us? It's never easy. >> Well, I think if the tournament's not. easy for anybody, you know, it's the. best teams out there. Action. Sounds a. little dramatic. New Yorkers saying, you. know, Knicks fans saying it's always. going to be you're you're guarded. People say the hardest place to play or. best place to play. How do you feel. about the Mecca and why is it viewed. that way? You think. >> Mecca is it's it's intimidating to. people because you know some some of the. the the greatest sports ventures ever.

have ever happened in their classic. fights. The [ __ ] Wringling. Brothers Barnum Bailey Circus pulls up. you know, house shows, WWF 1987, Wrestlemania 10, things happen at the. Garden. One of my favorite things that. I've ever watched was Justin Gatey and. and Michael Chandler was one of the. craziest [ __ ] I can't even believe. that that was the one of the loudest. times ever. It's just an intimidating. place, but it is the most electric arena.

there is. >> And and I think that's been on display. every single NBA playoffs. The Knicks. inevitably break the hearts at the end. And is this the year that Brunson goes. absolutely crazy? Tell me about the. album release action. So what is today? Doing a lot of chat about the album, bouncing around, letting it just kind of. hit send and let the world kind of deal. with it.

It seems like. you pick and choose to do whatever the.

hell you want at this stage. How long. has it been like this? >> That's how I feel. This is the way it. is, you know. Like I broke my leg and. stopped, you know, like something. unlocked. It was like DMT straight to my. neck. Like nuke Robocop 2, >> you know, like. >> bar. >> Straight up. It's like it was inserted. and then I' haven't stopped since. I. just feel great. I'm ready. I'm just. ready. I'm ready to run through a wall. right now to be honest. >> Well, you look fantastic. We've been. reading through some of your lyrics and.

uh the way your brain pieces words. together. >> Absolutely love. Can you tell me about. the alien files being released? I. watched some ancient aliens alongside. you and your friends uh plenty of nights. on my life. How do you feel about the. files getting out there? How do we feel. about it? >> I don't know. I don't I don't like to. read files, you know. I like to see. substance. I like to see things. >> Yes. Yes. >> At the end of the day, I like I've been. places. I was just in Teotiwa, you know. I was at the temple of the sun. giving praise. I was at the temple of.

the moon giving praise. Like literally, this was I I've seen I've been I've been. to the other side too many times to not. believe. You see behind me? >> You see that? Hold on.

As soon as. we started the watch, you knew you had. to finish it. You didn't know when you. were going to be able to get there. I. respect the moment. I respect what just. happened there. I'm with my man Connie. Gorgeous right now. We used to drive. uptown to 172 in Autobond six times a.

day with 10 on it. >> Shout out Connie. You guys made it. You. guys made it. Connie, you guys made it. >> Too crazy.

It's probably the coolest thing I've. ever heard in my life. Uh, is it hard. for you to stay locked in on one thing. because you can basically do so many. other things? >> Yes. Obviously, that's an obvious. [ __ ] thing. Yes. So, how do you how. do you handle that when when you can do. so many things, but you have to kind of. lock in on one. >> You sit and do nothing.

>> You just let it settle for a second. You. just take patience. It's like Lamas. You. just have to breathe through it. >> Love a good Lamas class. >> You know, like every good sniper should. take Lama classes. Control the heart rate. You know this. Control the body. You know this. >> Do you want to do a Lamar's class right. now? Maybe. Do you want to lead us in a. little breathing exercise? >> I just did Taibo with Billy Blanks. You. remember Last Boy Scout?

We. talked to him yesterday. He said he'd be.

interested in having heavyweights, too. I think you'd be great in it. Obviously. >> I mean, bro, I lived it, man. I could. [ __ ] I could get candy anywhere. >> Are we going to I thought we were going. to potentially go through your 2,000 VHS. is right there. I thought we were gonna. potentially. >> We can I mean I I know the whole top row. of my mother's dresser right now that we. got on my. >> You're the greatest. Okay. >> It's like showboat beaches. >> Mhm. >> There's a lot of B. Midler. >> beaches are good. >> Yeah. B Midler legend by the way back in. the day. Obviously VHS. >> Serious. Serious.

>> Imagine dropping into the VHS era and. telling them about what we have now. Now. on that note, one thing that you crushed. >> rock zone by the way. [ __ ] Gary. Buucy, Wesley Snipes, baby. That was. right next to Beaches. >> Okay. Gary Buucy been through it. You. know, Gary Buucy's been living. Certainly made some great movies. >> He was also great in Under Siege 2. >> Oh yeah, he was underrated. >> Tommy Lee. >> underrated there. Under when you watch. >> That's a huge one. >> When you watch the VHS, is that in 360. like 380? How's the quality?

>> It's on It's It's on a The TV's on a. stand and then the VCR is set up. underneath it. It's like a little metal. thing and then I have a rewinder next to. it. Yeah, >> it's like one of those pieces of [ __ ]. that they used to roll into the. classroom. >> Yeah, I got you. Yeah, the project. Yeah, I got those good days. Substitute. teacher days. Okay, let's talk about. something. >> I'm not trying to mess around with it. because these are precious pieces of. film. >> That's right. They are precious pieces. of film. That was back when they were. filmed actually, you know, as opposed to. digital [ __ ]. >> I mean, it's on actual tape. It's on. It's on tape.

Boom. >> We We made it good though. Someone's. They're always trying to catch me. >> Never. >> No one calls me when I'm not doing. anything. And then when I'm doing. something, this is what happens. >> Okay. We got about a minute and a half. to a heart out. You are a chef uh as. well, which I assume people picked up. through this conversation we've had here. thus far. Tone has the last question for. you here. >> Yeah, you are action. And we t we talk. about. >> You think they would have picked that up.

from this? >> Yes, definitely. Cuz you're a man of. culture. You're a man of the world. You. do everything action. We always talk. about, hey, which country has the best. food?

It feels like it is. something that you would have some sort. of uh take on that you've thought about. deeply. >> I mean, there's really not that much of. a deep thought. Like, just think about. this. Like, what the [ __ ] are we doing. right now? >> Well said. Who knows? >> That's all you really need to think. about and then think about all this [ __ ]. is ridiculous. It's all silly. >> It is. It is. Everything's silly.

>> You got it. You have to adapt to life. This is where we're at. You either fight. for your right or you lay down and die. >> See you on Monday. Goodbye. >> Be good, baby. >> HEY, THAT WAS A PERFECT WRAP UP THERE. YOU'RE THE MAN. ACTION, BABY. ACTION. >> You're the man. >> He was amazing. >> I should have expected that. I No, I did. not put much thought into what that. segment was going to be like. I just. thought, man, I know action pretty good. I feel like we should be able to bop. this thing around. I should have known.

he was coming in here brain wide open. >> Did we know that he made the not my. chair, not my problem video? >> Yeah, it could have been him. >> That's his voice tying knots. >> And that's his brain. I promise you. that's him. >> hanging on to every word. >> All I can think about the entire time. >> Unbelievable. >> Not my. >> sidewalks. >> Yeah, >> that's him. >> Oh, Mr. Walk down me. >> Mr. Walk down me. I'll lead you to Mr. >> Think about how he just talked. His. voice, his brain, and that video. >> How about Connie, too? Back beside the. behind the camera. They used to drive. that thing upstate. [ __ ] whatever.

Whoever can get it. >> That sets from Tibet. >> I loved you asking. You have problem you. got any issues sticking to one thing? >> Yeah, obviously. >> Is anybody watching this? Yeah. Hey, I. feel like people could pick up that you. were a chef.

>> Oh, action quickly into the Mount. Rushmore of conversations on our show. >> Yeah. >> He was perfect for feelood Friday. >> Yeah, it was. >> Action Brunson's name was mentioned to. the program. >> I think it was like Wednesday, dude. I. was like, "All right, we're packed. Wednesday. We cannot. We're so sorry.". But we like Action Bronson. Please, we. would like him to know that we would. definitely like him on the program. And. we pitch you. we appreciate you pitching. somebody. Like people pitching people is. very abnormal. So like we're very very. thankful for that. So then they're like, "Yeah, he's doing it wasn't him. It was. like people, you know, they're like he's. doing uh he's got his album released,

but he's also Nick's van. We're trying. to get him to do stuff." That's. basically what they were saying. Think. about trying to rally him. >> Oh, impossible. >> Oh yeah. Impossible. I can't believe he. was on. >> Oh. >> So then they were like, "Thursday we. could try to rally him in like the noon. hour or whatever." Like I think we got. I'm so Please tell him Friday with him. would be amazing. Anytime he's good on. Friday. We would love to have him on a. feel good Friday. 1:40 happened to be. the perfect time. Yeah. Done. Right into. the end of that. >> Maybe 205 next time. But. >> try to rally him. You said people try to.

rally him. >> The amount of times we said well well. said. >> Oh yeah. >> The amount of times that's been said to. him. >> Well said. >> And I just love that he completely knows. too. Like. >> Uhhuh. >> Yeah. Think about what I just said. We. got anything else to talk about? Nope. Didn't think so. Let's keep it moving, man. Chef, rapper, actor, liver. Absolutely a liver. >> Beast. >> He's living. >> Yeah. >> [ __ ] about right now. >> Just rolling through the Silk Road. >> All the stains. >> He left one off, a couple off that I.

immediately thought of. I'm happy he. didn't go there. >> Might be closed off. >> Let's make some picks on these games. >> Sports are up right now. Sports are up. right now. >> Sports. >> Can we go to that graphic of the uh the. Yep. Right here. Hell yeah. Sports. We. would like to celebrate this. This is. certainly not ass. Sports are way up. I. honestly. >> it makes us all wonder what what people. are doing before watching sports. You. know, if all these people are becoming. or coming back to sports or becoming. sports fans or more people are getting.

access to watching sports, whatever the. case, we appreciate everybody diving. into the sports world and we're [ __ ]. very lucky to be a tiny part of this. entire thing, AJ, but it feels like. sports are up and to the right, pal. >> Absolutely. I mean, we're in an awesome. time for sports right now. Especially. since all like there every sport seems. to deliver, especially when it comes to. playoff time. So, yeah, we are. It is. true. Like, what do you do if you don't. watch any sports? Like there are people. that don't watch anything like for when. it comes to. >> I think they read books. >> Yeah. I Is that it? >> I think so. Or like.

>> what kind of TV do they watch? They. watch stuff. >> There's people that don't have TVs in. their house, which is. >> I I assume you know those um what's that. like trash TV? No, I don't I say tra I. used to watch it as well. No, like. >> reality TV. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah, like all that TV. I. think the genre is actually trash TV. I'm not calling it trash TV. >> You're talking like Lizard Lick Towing. >> No, like that would classify as old. school part of it. Lizard Lick to Rock. of Love, Flave of Flave. >> We're talking Summerhouse. We're talking. all that stuff. >> Jersey Shore, all that type of stuff.

Our. >> era. All my friends that don't watch. sports, they that is what they watch. >> But you have a lot of friends that. don't. That's interesting because I've. been trying to figure out who in my life. would I be able to ask information from. about don't. But I do think it's all. those shows. >> Yeah, they Yeah, addicted to those. shows. >> Like Netflix has a bunch of them. Peacock has a bunch of It's almost like. the new soaps. Like soap operas used to. kind of carry the afternoon for. everybody. Now it's like all these. different serieses and games and. realities and shows from all these. platforms cuz there are some of these. platforms that I think are probably. seeing magnificent spikes whenever one.

of their series pops off when nothing. else pops off. I'll watch my wife go. over to like some platform that have not. been on at all just to watch some show. And it's like they're just trying to. create ways to get people to places. Sports have always reigned king, seemingly still king. But I like that. there's some other [ __ ] kind of drawing. attention around there for content. But. sports up into the right is um is a wild. thing whenever you think about like uh. the amount of money that's being spent. on all this. the licensing, the. contracts, the streaming platforms that.

seemingly have a bottomless pit of money. trying to get into the game. And then. news comes out, it's like YouTube might. not have any NFL games. Netflix actually. might pick up more NFL games. Amazon. Prime, are they going to get another. game? It's like we're now in a world. where every platform is trying to get. in, at least on our league. And as these. numbers continue to grow up, every one. of these sport things are going to be. the most profitable thing on television. until television's no more. Yep. I mean, that's just kind of how it is. And uh. I'm [ __ ] lucky I grew up only in the. sports world to be honest with you.

>> Yeah. Especially when we're talking. about some of the biggest stars in all. these sports like we mentioned the MLB. The MLB with the World Baseball. Classics. One thing like having a player. as fascinating as show Otani in the. league and you know Apoll who's setting. records that have gone back hundreds of. years. Like even just that as an. attraction like I I don't like the. Dodgers but if show Otani's on you're. going to go watch him. It feels like. there hasn't been a draw like that in. the MLB in my lifetime. At least like. there is right now. >> Since the home run race.

>> That's in a bunch of sports. Yeah, since. the home run race. Yeah. >> Shout out to sports. Let's have a great. weekend of sports. Let's make some picks. for tonight. The NHL has two games. Canadians at Saber 7 p.m. Eastern on. TNT. Golden Knights at the Ducks. 9:30. on TNT. AJ, who do you like? How do you. like it in the first one in Buffalo? >> I have a hard time picking against this. Buffalo team. Obviously, everything. they're doing on the ice, off the ice, I. am a fan of. So, give me Buffalo here. Fresh off of Matthew Kachchuck saying. that the Buffalo Blade gang could beat. up all the other groups from all the. other different places. Go ahead and.

consider me all in on the Buffalo. Sabres. I like the Sabres. I like them. to win it again. Congrats to them going. up 200 in our eyes even though these. Canadians are not going to go down. lightly. Golden Knights Ducks 9:30 p.m. Eastern. We know Tai will be up. >> Yeah, definitely. >> Yeah, we know Tai will be up for that. entire thing. Ducks or Knights, who do. you like? How do you like it, AJ? I. mean, I like the Golden Knights. I've. been riding with them since the. beginning. I will continue. Jack Eel and. the boys will get it done. >> I love the Knights as well. Give me the.

Ducks. They got Lorax as their coach. I. love everything about the Ducks, especially them being at home up there. I think it's going to go well. Let's go. to the NBA tonight on Prime. Knicks at. Sixers. Knicks have been beating the. hell out of everybody, the Hawks, then. into the Sixers. Joel Embiid gets hurt. That kind of changes the entire. storyline. Spurs at Wolves. One one tie. Ant-Man went into San Antonio. Stole. one. Wendy and the boys answered. Vel. did a trick shot in the middle of a. game. AJ, who do you like in Knicks.

versus Sixers? >> You know what? I'm going to go with the. Knicks here. It's Embiid is out. Correct. >> I believe at the moment. >> Question. Okay. I'm taking I'm taking. the Knicks. >> I know Kendrick thought the Sixers were. taking this one, right? I'm gonna ride. with the Knicks here. >> Okay. So, you you wanted to point out. publicly that you're opposing Kendrick. Perkins. Yeah, it did. >> I honestly it came out that way. It did. not mean it to come out that way. >> I love Perk, by the way. By the way, >> I mean, he's amazing. >> He is outrageous. Action Bronson needs.

maybe a once a week. Mike Foss, who was. the connection between Action Brunson's. group and us really. >> uh said, "This is both the best and. worst potential booking I've been a part. of." And I said, "No, best by far. We. need more Action Brunson." I don't think. everybody can pull off Action Brunson, but I like that Action Brunson's action. Brunsoning. So uh I think it's. spectacular. Do we have Shams on? Shams Shirania, ladies and gentlemen. >> Yeah, Shams.

>> Uh no, we can't hear you. >> What you say? >> We can see your face. >> What you say? for lunch. >> I took my AirPods off. >> Hey, Sean, what you say? >> I took my AirPods off. >> Hey, Joel Embiid, what's he doing. tonight? Is he playing or we uh I think. we read questionable is what we heard.

But, uh, should we assume that. questionable means out or should we. assume questionable means in for Joel. Embiid? I think right now it is a. situation where he's going to probably. end up going to the arena, warming up. and then seeing how he feels. Um, I. can't tell you there's hope inside that. Sixers building right now that he's. going to be able to play, but they're. not going to know with a guy like Joel. Embiid until he gets the arena, sees how. he feels. >> Not one-on-one, two on two, but with.

Joel Embiid, it's always about how he. feels. >> Okay, we appreciate. How about Spurs. Timberwolves? Anything we need to know. about there? Aunt Edwards in, IO Dumo in right now. I. mean, I think this is one of the most. physical and competitive back and forth. series I think we're going to get. Obviously, game two was a was a blowout, but I think as it shifts back to. Minnesota, I think we're we're going to. be in for I think two very competitive. games. >> Okay. Knicks OG Anobi. Uh Kendrick. Perkins said, "Let's rest him games. three and games four." I think you. reported he's dayto-day with a.

hamstring. What is the actual diagnosis. as we sit today? Yeah, I think a lot of. people look at a hamstring strain and. say, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. It's not like a. day-to-day situation." But I was told by. multiple people that I trust around the. situation that this is uh a a tweak of. the hamstring. It's it's considered to. be on the minor side of hamstring. strains. This is not a severe hamstring. strain. So, um he's going through. treatment today. We'll see if he can. play today. We'll see if he can play in. game four. we can't play tonight. I.

think the hope is that this is going to. be a game toame day-to-day thing, not a. week-long thing. Uh, which is good news. for the Knicks and OGN and Obi. Um, but. the good news for them. It's not. considered to be a serious strain. And. he's he's trying to play tonight. >> Okay. All right. Well, we appreciate the. hell out of you, Shams. You're even. better when we can hear you, ladies and. gentlemen, with a drive by senior NBA. insider ESPN. Yeah. >> Yeah. Sh. >> All right. So, you like the Knicks. tonight? >> Yes, I do. And I think uh I agree with.

Perk that OG said sit out the next. couple games for sure. >> Hamstring's tough. Uh obviously we don't. it looked bad. I mean anytime you pull. up like it's something like your body's. not just doing that for no reason. >> You can't like tough it out like it's an. ankle sprint like you rolled an ankle. >> And he tried to like right here after he. kind of tweaks it. He tries to dunk. >> Yeah. He's awesome. Yeah. >> Yeah. I I we obviously are bummed out. that for him, but if the. Sixers win tonight, >> Ben gets here.

>> Is he back? You know, cuz uh wait a. second. Do I want to take the Sixers. tonight? No. Action Brunson. Give me the. Knicks. >> I like the Knicks. >> Me, too. Bridges. Get ready for a little. Bridges. >> The Bridges. Ben Stiller. I mean, Shregs. This is coming to New York by. show. >> Don't love that. You guys kind of took. over our [ __ ] We're out here in Indiana. trying to stay away from these coastal. elitists and all of a sudden we got. Action Brunson acting like he's not a. Coastal Elitist. What was that was not. He's not supposed to be that likable. This guy's a New York Nick fan. This guy.

is supposed to be uh hatable. And then. Ben Stiller comes on and goes, I didn't. think it was going to be a big deal. Honestly, I did. I don't know what the. big deal. I'm not even invited to the. [ __ ] MC. I'm trying to go with a. friend. It's like Johnny, are we kind of. carrying the New York Knicks water over. here because we're kind of becoming a. fan of them? Is that Bruce? What the. hell is going on with this program over. here? Is is this partially because of. you? You think? Is that. >> I will say yesterday when Triggs was on. in a in a Knicks ball cap and we were. facetiming Ben Stiller. I I did think, wow, we are kind of doing it. Um. supporting the New York Knicks a a.

little bit. Um Action Bronson's the man. And uh Mitchell Robinson is back as well. tonight. He missed uh game uh two with. an illness. He's back. Uh so if Joel. Embiid does not go, then we got two. centers and they got one in Andre. Drummond. and that could become a. potential issue that covers up OG being. out. >> Okay, sounds good. I appreciate the. optimism coming from the Knicks fans. Action Brunson knows there's a game. tonight. I can't wait to see what his. picks are. I'm going with the Knicks as. well, plus a point and a half. Spurs at. Timberwolves. How do you see this going, AJ? Who do you like? How do you like it?

>> So, I would not mind seeing Minnesota. win this game, but with that being said, I think the Spurs will win and cover. minus four and a half. Yeah, I think WBY. loves going into that Minnesota. Timberwolves have not lost in Minnesota. in like 14 straight or something like. it. >> I forget the number. >> Tough barn. >> Tough barn. >> Ant is. >> they're going to need about 30 out of. goar. >> Yeah, they're going to need 30 from. >> Who do you like? What do you.

>> He'll get it. >> I I like four and a half. >> Tomy, who do you like? >> Which one? >> I like the Timberwolves here. It's kind. of Spurs always win after a loss. That's. just what happens. Win and cover. I like. T- Wolves at home. That place is going. to be rocking tonight. >> All right, I'll go with you guys. >> I'm on Spurs. Just want to get that out. there. >> Okay, >> Foxy, who do you like? >> Yeah, >> Timberwolves homecourt advantage. >> Bruce, who do you like? >> I'm on the Spurs. >> [ __ ]. >> Although I do love Julius Randall.

>> I'm going with Timberwolves. Plus four. and a half. >> Okay. >> Great work in the back there this week, boys. Way to go.
